War

Hundreds of thousands of demons were loaded into legion fortresses, marching valiantly and spiritedly towards the planet Shirethe.

The "Void Terror" Cho'gall had been lurking near the Burning Legion. He knew that his other companions were on Shirethe, and judging by the looks of it, there would obviously be a great battle there.

"Looks like I have to move too." Cho'gall chewed a few times, swallowing a void creature made of primal arcane energy into his stomach, and then strode slowly towards the Burning Legion's teleportation point.

To say "slowly," even the legion fortresses speeding through the Twisting Nether were not much faster than him.

What's even more terrifying is that the fortresses that could load 50,000 Burning Legion demons at a time were not much larger than Cho'gall's size.

Having spent only a few short years in the Twisting Nether, Cho'gall had already grown into an unimaginably huge super monster!

He felt like he could even eat asteroids now—of course, that was just an exaggerated thought for the time being, but if things continued like this, if he wasn't burst by all sorts of messy food and energy, he probably wouldn't be too far from being able to eat asteroids.

And when the Burning Legion began to mobilize, in the distant Pantheon, Aman'Thul's will returned to his body, and he issued the same order: "Activate the warp, go to the planet Shirethe!"

Under his command, one bronze or platinum-colored giant titan after another was summoned.

"Life-Giver" Eonar quickly walked to Aman'Thul's side and asked urgently, "What happened, Aman'Thul?"

She was Aman'Thul's wife, a bronze titan, and also the number two figure in the Pantheon. But Aman'Thul's order was too abrupt, and Eonar didn't understand what he was doing at all. She wasn't prepared at all.

"Wrathbringer" Golganneth was their son. He inherited his father's platinum skin. His weapon was a giant horn, and once it was sounded, its power would be enough to easily shatter mountains.

Golganneth inherited the power of thunder from his father. Because of the good genes from his parents, he was one of the strongest in the entire Pantheon.

"Father, are we going to war?" Golganneth asked in a loud metallic voice.

"Yes." Aman'Thul did not deny it.

Only no one saw the worry in his eyes.

This was not the war he wanted to wage, but a punishment from the system for him and Sargeras—because in the setting, they were enemies. Before this, the two enemies who had broken up due to ideological differences were actually discussing cooperation. And they were trying to defy the will of the universe and escape this world!

So, as punishment, the hidden system forcibly arranged a confrontation mission for them.

The great war... was about to begin.

"Is it a battle with the Burning Legion?" This was "Avenger" Aggramar. "We have detected Burning Legion activity in the Shirethe system, Father of the Gods, are we going to fight the demons head-on?"

He deliberately lowered his voice, but still couldn't hide the excitement in his heart!

Before Sargeras betrayed the Pantheon, Aggramar was his adjutant, following him to fight against the enemies of the Pantheon—the abyss demons and the Old Gods.

This most powerful warrior was Aggramar's most admired idol, but more than 20,000 years ago, the idol in his heart completely collapsed—Sargeras' betrayal caused him no less anger and disappointment than Aman'Thul, Sargeras' own brother.

Later, Aggramar became the successor of the Pantheon's combat force. All along, destroying Sargeras was what he wanted to do most—or rather, questioning Sargeras face-to-face why he betrayed!

As the commander of the combat force, Aggramar had been closely monitoring the movements of the Burning Legion, so while other titans were not yet clear about what was happening in Shirethe, Aggramar was very clear that the Burning Legion was now invading that world.

Since the establishment of the Burning Legion, the Pantheon and the demons had not really fought each other. Aggramar's long-cherished wish had never had a chance to come true.

Was now finally the time?

He looked eagerly at Aman'Thul, and soon he saw the other party slowly nod.

Aggramar immediately said loudly: "I am willing to be the vanguard of the Pantheon! Father of the Gods, please allow me to lead our warriors there first!"

"Go, go!" Aman'Thul waved his hand.

"I will not let you down!" Aggramar said loudly, his spirits lifted.

Overnight, the situation changed drastically.

A large number of elite demon troops suddenly appeared in the Burning Legion's base camp in the northeast direction of the Land of Exile.

Now that the Old Gods could be said to have been eliminated, the Burning Legion's current actions immediately made the Shirethe Allied Forces, who had obtained the information, nervous.

You must know that the two sides had never been allies. The previous "cooperation" was only to eliminate a common enemy. Now that the Burning Legion had secretly mobilized so many troops, it was difficult for the Allied Forces' high command not to think that the other party was coming for them.

The demons had not used such a powerful force even to eliminate the Old Gods. Now that they were doing this, there was only one purpose—they must want to completely destroy the creatures of Shirethe!

After Kassadin told everyone the news that Kha'Zix had brought from the Burning Legion, the Allied Forces immediately began to prepare for war nervously. However, the leaders were almost desperate, not only because of the strength of the Burning Legion, but also because Aiden, the prophesied "savior" who had once led them to victory, had not returned to this day.

The leaders couldn't help but guess, could it be that he had already encountered an accident?

After all, they knew that Aiden had been teleported away with Sargeras' "help." According to the Burning Legion's current actions, it was completely reasonable for them to have such a guess.

The mortals spent half a dark day in worry and fear. Now, besides preparing for war, the only thing they could do was to pray to the Moon Goddess Mu'sha, begging for her protection.

—

Mu'sha could hear the calls of her believers, but she was also confused at the moment.

Of course, she had noticed the movements of the Burning Legion, which had aroused her high attention and tension, but soon she received another request—Aggramar, the Titan of the Pantheon, requested her to open Shirethe's teleportation facilities, because the Pantheon's warriors were about to teleport over.

This Legion Commander of the Pantheon did not explain to Mu'sha why he wanted to do this, but Mu'sha had already guessed that it must be related to the Burning Legion.

Mu'sha had countless incarnations, and had believers in countless universes, not to mention that she had already learned part of the truth of the world from Elune. Because of this, she was even more puzzled—could it be that the Burning Legion and the Pantheon were going to start a war in Shirethe?

That was really not good news—any titan could easily destroy Shirethe after revealing his true power, let alone a war between the two sides?

Compared with either of these two sides, the Shirethe Allied Forces were almost too weak to participate in this war—because with their strength, no matter which side they joined, they might not be able to influence the outcome of the war.

What worried Mu'sha even more was that she couldn't intervene in this impending war either.

In theory, she and the Pantheon were allies, and it was not impossible to deal with the Burning Legion. But as a "manager," she could not fight against even the fallen Sargeras.

Mu'sha was suddenly extremely confused—Shirethe was the foundation of her existence, and these believers should also be protected by her, but she was limited by the rules, and could only watch one of the Burning Legion or the Pantheon decide her and Shirethe's fate.

This feeling was really terrible!

When the real night came, the natives of Shirethe saw that the light of the moon piercing through the darkness was much brighter than usual, so that they had a feeling of being in the dawn. The surrounding visibility was very good, and ordinary people could see very far.

"Is Mu'sha protecting us?" Saint Zechariah looked at the night sky, his voice trembling with excitement.

This general mobilization had already made almost all the intelligent races of Shirethe aware that the Burning Legion might completely destroy them soon. The unprecedented confusion and despair in people's hearts led most people to gather around bonfires and use various rituals to pray to the Moon Goddess for her protection.

Now that the moonlight was so dazzling, the believers were immediately greatly encouraged and cheered excitedly:

"It must be Mu'sha protecting us!"

The believers firmly believed that this was the fact.

The real fact was that Mu'sha opened the portal according to Aggramar's request.

Now the astral portal was in operation, and the Pantheon's army was about to teleport over. That extra light was coming from the portal.

Now, Mu'sha could only pray that the Pantheon would be victorious—preferably a clean and decisive victory, without destroying Shirethe too badly!

'The Pantheon has so many titans, and the "Father of the Gods" Aman'Thul is in charge. Shouldn't they be able to easily defeat the Burning Legion, which only has one titan?'

Mu'sha couldn't help but guess.

It's just that she should know that the Burning Legion is not easy to deal with either.

The authority of all the titans of the Pantheon actually comes from Aman'Thul's grant. Without him, the Pantheon would collapse.

And Sargeras also possesses the ability to distribute secondary permissions. As long as he is willing, he can also upgrade his other servants into creatures no weaker than titans.

For example, Archimonde and Kil'jaeden, the two Eredar from Argus, after obtaining the power granted by Sargeras, possessed power no less than that of Aggramar, the "Avenger" of the Pantheon.

If we put aside Sargeras' only weakness of just being resurrected, the Burning Legion and the Pantheon would have a 50-50 chance of winning if they fought each other.

Mu'sha was most unwilling to see such a battle. These were the two most powerful forces in the universe. Either of them could easily destroy the world, or even destroy the universe!

Was there anyone who could stop this battle?

Mu'sha thought about it, and finally shook her head with a wry smile.

Just at this time, she suddenly sensed the teleportation energy from another direction.

"Aiden?"

This name blurted out.

It was at this moment that Aiden and Kayle finally returned to Shirethe from the Eternal Kingdom!
