42. Armageddon. Hope(1/2)

Sargeras is a violent Titan, a being of destruction, the sworn enemy of the void, the commander of the Burning Legion and the supreme god.

He is not a righteous person, but he is not a pure evil person either.

He appears to be stubborn, with a will as strong as steel, and will use all means to try to complete the things he has determined. But this does not mean that he is a stubborn being. He has the wisdom of a Titan, which is the first-rate wisdom among the stars.

After realizing that his path has gone astray, he will not refuse assistance from another dark wisdom.

After all, although there was a life-and-death fight just now, and I wanted to put the other party to death, it was just a dispute of ideas. Both sides took different paths to the same goal, both to resist the corrosion of the stars by the void, and for the stars

's future.

They are partners that can be cooperated with...

High Lord Tyrion is sitting cross-legged among the stars, and Dark Titan Sargeras is sitting opposite him. The two most powerful parties among the stars are surrounded by the broken debris of the planet. Even the burning sun has been destroyed by the fire of destruction.

It burns and turns dark red, and is about to reach the end of its destiny as the sun.

In this scene filled with destruction and death, Sargeras and Tyrion were sitting and discussing... not simply turning enemies into friends, but thinking and discussing the future of the stars.

Even though both sides know that they have a common enemy, they still argue with each other to swing their swords, which will only make the cunning Void feel more happy.

These two would never do such a thing...

Even if the most important thing is for them to decide the winner, they still have to wait until Void is completely defeated.

The Moon Goddess Elune looked at the conversation between the two. She was a little hesitant and seemed to want to join in, but the disgust for Tyrion in her heart still did not subside. After a moment of thinking, the steel wings behind her once again

Unfolding, the light of the dark moon slowly dissipated, replaced by the cold light of the bright moon. Under the soothing caress of the light veil, Elune's melted body recovered bit by bit.

The long silver hair on the back of her head was beating, and in the azure flames brought by the steel wings, like a real angel, she was holding Tesarak and the Aggramar Shield of the Return of the Stars, and just disappeared under the moonlight.

She's returning to Azeroth...

There, the war between life and demons continues, and she is needed more there.

"The stars and all things lacked wisdom at the beginning of their birth, and the development of civilization must not only rely on one's own efforts, but also take into account the process of history. The interference of external forces on civilization is terrible."

The high lord didn't have much foreshadowing. For a stubborn person like Sargeras, he had to get straight to the point when speaking.

Tyrion stretched out his hand, and a crystal that carried all his memories was placed in front of Sargeras. He used his own experience as an example and said to Sargeras:

"The fate of the world of Azeroth is not what it is now. When I first encountered death, I saw the tragic fate of that world as a bystander, so I tried to interfere with it and change it bit by bit.

, until I control the trajectory of civilization and push the world into a chaotic future in my own way."

The great lord spread his hands and said calmly:

"The method I use is the same as the method you use, Lord Sargeras."

"We all use fear as a blade and death as iron hooves. But unlike you, I did not kill them all. All the punishments I gave had a reason, or because they were immersed in a backward system and were complacent.

, either because they have failed to live up to the hope I gave them, or because a certain civilization is not developing as fast as I predicted, or because they wantonly enjoy meaningless eternal life and continue to waste precious time."

When Sargeras browsed the history of Azeroth in the past ten years, the high lord explained in a low voice:

"I will not start a war because of my own joys, angers, sorrows and joys. That is stupid internal friction."

"In the past ten years, the world of Azeroth has faced many enemies, such as the Burning Legion, the Void, and conflicts from within. But no matter who they face, they cannot stop moving forward, because in the

There is a whip watching behind them, and once they stop, once they want to settle for mediocrity, the whip will crack down hard."

"It will make them feel the pain and give them the motivation to move forward again."

Sargeras did not respond immediately to Tyrion. He held the spar in his hand and looked at it carefully. After a few minutes, the Dark Titan raised his head, with burning eyes on his demon-like face.

, there is a trace of doubt.

"What's the use of this?"

Dark Titan said:

"I admit that in your plan, the civilization of this world will have a bright future. But even if they step into the stars and face the whispers of the void, they still have no power to resist... You failed to get rid of these flesh and blood life forms

The weakness in them, you didn’t even give them real power, their essence has not transformed, they were born from imperfect accidents, that is their greatest weakness.”

"It only takes a void war and this civilization will be completely corrupted... They are too weak."

"Weak?"

The great lord nodded:

"Indeed, from our perspective, this world is still weak. But I don't think they will be vulnerable to the threat of the void...Listen to me, Lord Sargeras, the Pantheon once spread life and

Among the stars, you long to see the birth of perfect life, but I have also talked with Observer Algalon, and I know that among all the planets you have sown, so far, the perfect life you expect has not yet been born."

"For me, natural perfection does not exist."

Tyrion looked at the seven-color bracelet on his wrist, smiled and said:

"Even if it is closest to perfection, it will not give birth to the civilization you want to see... because innate perfection represents the uncontrollable pride born in blood... You just experienced it personally

, the fatal consequences of pride..."

The words of the great lord caused a flash of gloom on the Dark Titan's face, but Tyrion did not deliberately provoke him, he just said seriously:

"You must accept the fact, Lord Sargeras."

"There is no real perfection among the stars. All life, including you and me, must accept the imperfect reality and then move towards a perfect future. This desire will become a driving force and will promote the continuous evolution, thirst for knowledge, and courage of living beings.

and the spirit of exploration, these motivations are truly precious.”

"And back to the original question, how can these imperfect creatures resist the ubiquitous void? It's simple. They have to first understand the void, understand their enemies, discover their weaknesses, and then target them. Maybe they will fail, but

The experience accumulated from repeated failures is enough to pave a path to ultimate success for those who come after..."

Tyrion's voice became gentle:

"As long as life in the stars continues to multiply, and as long as civilization in this world continues to move forward, one day the void will no longer be a problem. Do you believe it?"

"I...I don't really believe it."

Sargeras did not hide his thoughts. The dark titan said bluntly:

"You did let me see a miracle, Elune. That girl is the only world spirit I have ever seen who can return to normal after being infected by the void. But I think this example does not have the basis for widespread existence.

...Not every world infected by the void will give birth to a Tyrion Blade of the Dawn."

"Elune's recovery is only because she is lucky enough, and I, I will not regard occasional luck as hope... Do you understand what I mean?"

The great lord nodded:

"Of course, I understand. This is why I am telling you so much here. Lord Sargeras, stop the Burning Crusade. This is meaningless... The more you destroy, the more void you will create.

An opportunity has taken advantage of the void, and your continuous slaughter has caused the life and death in the stars to be unbalanced. If this continues, the rioting sea of ​​death stars will swallow the world from the shadows without even the void taking action."

"The six major forces of the stars must maintain balance. This is the basis for the existence of the Star Era. Once a major imbalance occurs, the stars will soon fall into the doomsday singularity, everything will be destroyed, and a new era will be born after countless time...

You, me, Elune, and the Lords of the Void, we may be able to preserve ourselves in the change of eras, but the stars will be changed..."

Tyrion sighed:

"The arrival of a new era does not mean an era of peace. Our war with the void will continue, and then it will cause a great imbalance, and the era will begin to change again... In this cycle, there will be no hope, no despair, only

What remains is the war itself."

"We will become more and more capable, and we will become more and more foolish... The spark of hope will become less and less."

Tyrion raised his head, looked at the Dark Titan with a sincere gaze, and said:

"We...can't place our hopes on miracles that may happen. Instead of blankly expecting that the next era will be better, we should cherish everything we have now and use our strength to transform this weak and broken era of stars into a better one."

To build it into the paradise we want to see.”

Sargeras fell silent.

He didn't want to think about the future foreseen by Tyrion, but after calming down, especially after seeing the flaws of the Burning Crusade, he instinctively felt that maybe what Tyrion said... made some sense.

As for the consequences of a major imbalance among the stars, Sargeras, as a Titan, knows better than the high lord.

"But...how to do it?"

Dark Titan asked in a low tone:

"The stars have withered to this place. How can you convince me that the hope of ending the threat of the void is hidden in these ruins?"

Sargeras' meaning is obvious.

He might be able to stop the Burning Crusade, and he might even allow the High Lord and Elune to transform the stars in their own way, but all this requires a prerequisite.

That is, the Dark Titan must see hope, and he must have a reason to persuade himself to stop.

Every strong man has his own persistence, and even every adult has his own understanding of the world. It is really difficult to persuade a complete and mature soul to change his world view.

..

Tyrion stretched out five fingers, took a deep breath, and said to the dark titan in front of him:

"500 years!"

"Give us 500 years, and I will prove to you the feasibility of this path...I will plan a sea of ​​stars, just like the future I plan for Azeroth."

Sargeras narrowed his eyes, and after a moment, he said in a deep voice:

"good!"
To be continued...
