Chapter 666 The Real Reason for the Time Jump

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Roy sensed and found that there were still densely packed constructs tens of kilometers away on the plain, making him very angry. Under the combined efforts of the nine keepers of the t.i.tans, Roy couldnt defeat them one by one for the time being. After hearing Julias annoyance, he was furious. He closed his hands and took out a huge crystal from the void.

This crystal was about two meters tall, pure white, and diamond-shaped. After taking out this crystal, Roy inserted it into the ground, half-burying it.

Then, under the puzzled gazes of the keepers, he clenched his fist, pierced his palm with his sharp claws, and dripped the demon blood onto the crystal.

The crystal absorbed Roys demon blood. Then, as though it had a life of its own, it began to squirm inside the crystal and gradually expand.

This crystal was an energy crystal that Roy had specially created, and it contained pure energy. He dripped his demon blood into it to breed the viruses in the crystal.

Yes, this was a petri dish. As a frost demon, Roys blood not only had the power to transform creatures into undead, but it also contained two unique viruses, the Magic Power Virus and the Desolate Virus. The characteristic of the Magic Power Virus was devouring energy, and the characteristic of the Desolate Virus was radiation and mutation. Perhaps the Desolate Virus had a limited effect on the current constructs, but the Magic Power Virus was a great killing weapon against these constructs. It could quickly devour the active energy of the constructs and directly cause them to shut down.

As the energy in the crystal began to be devoured, the Magic Power Virus and the Desolate Virus began to multiply in large numbers, gradually turning the interior of the crystal into a pitch-black ma.s.s. The ma.s.s of highly concentrated viruses gathered together and squirmed faster and faster.

Although the keepers didnt know what Roy was doing, their intuition told them that there might be immense danger, so they attacked him together. Roy firmly stood in front of the crystal, blocking the keepers.

The chaotic battle didnt last long because the reproduction of the viruses inside the crystal increased geometrically. After a while, the white crystal was completely dyed black, and the reproduction of the viruses inside finally increased to the extent of overflowing. They began to seep out of the surface of the crystal and spread all around.

A scene that made the eyes of the keepers bulge appeared. With the black crystal as the center, a viscous black liquid flowed out across the surface of the plain like creep1. All the constructs that came into contact with this black viscous substance would quickly lose the light in their eyes and collapse. After falling down, the black liquid would crawl all over their bodies. After the black liquid finished eating and dispersed, what remained was a pile of inorganic matter that had completely lost its vitality.

In the beginning, the corrosion of the black creep was not fast. But as more and more constructs were devoured and lost their energy, the spread and corrosion of the creep accelerated, and then more constructs fell.

Neither lightning nor flames had much effect on the black creep. In fact, the energy in them would be absorbed in turn, thereby increasing the reproduction speed of the viruses again. If someone looked from the sky, they would find that the coverage of the black creep was like a drop of ink spreading in the water, disseminating at an exaggerated speed.

Prime Designate Odyn, Highkeeper Ra-den, Sentinel Loken, Stormlord Thorim, King of Ice Hodir, Grand Architect Mimiron, Queen of Life Freya, King of Order Tyr, and Ancient Stone Watcher Archaedas, the nine keepers of the t.i.tans all had powerful strength and wisdom. They had no choice but to leave the battle with Roy. But no matter how they tried, they couldnt stop the spread of these viruses. More and more constructs lost their vitality due to the Magic Power Virus devouring energy.

When they realized that it was very likely that all the constructs would be destroyed here if this continued, the nine keepers could only admit that this was a failed ambush. No matter how unwilling they were, they could only order a retreat.

But Roys virus creep had already spread for hundreds of kilometers on the plain. The number of collapsed constructs had reached an incalculable level. There had never been such great losses in the war against the Black Empire.

The keepers fled in panic, while Roy laughed wildly. He had been disgusted by the constructs earlier, and now he finally took revenge.

Seeing that the battle was over, Julia and Benia landed beside Roy and asked, Arent we going to kill these t.i.tanic keepers?

Roy shook his head. Im not sure how long the t.i.tans of the Pantheon have been gone. If we really kill these keepers, it might alarm them and cause them to return to check the situation. Were not a match for the t.i.tans now, so I wont do such dangerous things.

Julia and Benia nodded. They knew very well that the t.i.tans of the Pantheon were on the same level as Sargeras. They really couldnt afford to provoke them.

Moreover, Roy knew very well that, in addition to the nine keepers, there was still a constellar who hadnt shown up on Azeroth. The constellar was an observer of the t.i.tans, and he could directly contact the pantheon.

Since the constructs had retreated, the three of them returned to the crystal and planned to retrieve it. If the viruses continued to spread, it would probably not take long for them to devour all of Azeroth. Although this was something that would only happen in extreme situations where this planet didnt have any other means to deal with it, there was such a risk after all, so Roy felt that it was better to retrieve it.

However, what Roy didnt expect was that before he could do anything, a strange fluctuation came. His expression changed, and he immediately grabbed Julias and Benias hands. As expected, the three of them disappeared in the next second.

It was the fluctuations of the time flux again. Roy didnt expect another time jump to come so suddenly and without warning. In his opinion, eliminating and reducing the number of these constructs was not a historical event

The three of them embarked on a time jump again. However, Roy probably didnt think that what caused their time jump this time was not because of the battle with the keepers but because of the virus crystal he had put down!

Not long after Roy, Julia, and Benia disappeared, a small black shadow appeared in the distant sky.

A dragon, or to be precise, a proto-dragon, flew over from afar.

The place where Roy and the two women had fought against the t.i.tanic keepers was close to the northern part of the Kalimdor continent. And in the northern part of Kalimdor, there was a unique race living. They were the proto-dragons. The proto-dragons were different from the dragons of later generations. At this moment, most of the proto-dragons were creatures without much intelligence, and they lived on land like primitive beasts.

The huge commotion caused by the battle made the proto-dragons in the north panic and uneasy. Due to the biological instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, the nearby proto-dragons had all fled far away from the battlefield. However, there were always exceptions. One of the proto-dragons went against the flow and headed toward the battlefield.

He wanted to see what was going on and perhaps had the thought of finding prey. In short, when he flew over, the battlefield had completely quieted down. The keepers had escaped, and Roy and the other two had disappeared without a trace.

This proto-dragon looked a little young. It seemed to be a dragon that had just reached adulthood. Flying in the air, he couldnt stop his curiosity and looked around to observe the situation below. But what he saw was the strange silence and the spreading black creep below.

Moreover, there was also an inexplicable energy filling the air, making the proto-dragon feel uncomfortable and uneasy. But he endured it and continued flying forward because he sensed that there was something in front.

Finally, he saw the crystal Roy had inserted into the ground

After observing curiously, the proto-dragon finally boldly landed in front of the crystal. At this moment, the crystal was full of a dark l.u.s.ter, and under the sunlight cast after the dark clouds dissipated, it looked so deep and mysterious. The proto-dragon had no resistance to this s.h.i.+ny thing, so he couldnt help moving his head left and right to observe the crystal. But he didnt notice that the black creep on the ground had already climbed onto his toes

When he s.h.i.+fted his attention away from the crystal and noticed the black creep climbing onto his body, the viruses had already entirely covered his legs. Sensing that his power was rapidly disappearing, the proto-dragon was terrified. He stomped his feet and swung his legs, trying to get these black things off his body. But how could he get them off?

Just as he was gradually losing his strength, the proto-dragon suddenly noticed the black liquid flowing down from the crystal. He seemed to realize that this thing was the source. He thought for a while with his limited wisdom before suddenly opening his mouth and biting the virus crystal Roy had buried.

The proto-dragon held the crystal in his mouth and bit it twice with all his might. After realizing that he couldnt bite through it at all, he actually raised his neck and swallowed the crystal whole!

Without the crystal as the source, the spread of the creep gradually stopped. But the proto-dragon, who had swallowed the crystal, fell to the ground trembling. This was not as simple as eating randomly and getting a stomachache. What he had swallowed was a high-concentration virus aggregation.

The proto-dragon kept trembling, but the tyrannical life force of dragons didnt let him die. Although his eyes were closed, a strange change was happening inside his body invisibly.

The body of this proto-dragon was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. This was the radiation energy from the Desolate Virus, and it seemed that the radiation had caused him to mutate. At the same time, the Magic Power Virus was transforming the proto-dragons body, making him hungrier, making him impatient to eat and keep eating.

This hunger stimulated the proto-dragon to awaken. When he propped himself up from the ground, he was already several times bigger than when he came, but he couldnt care less. After discovering that there was no food around, he instinctively flew toward the north of Kalimdor, where his race lived, where he knew he could find prey.

On the way, the proto-dragon found a proto-dragon of the same race. He didnt hesitate at all and rushed forward to bite his compatriot!

The saliva flowing between his teeth poured into his compatriots body with this mouthful. After devouring his compatriots body, he got up and flew away, leaving behind a mutilated proto-dragon skeleton.

Shortly after, the tattered bones of the proto-dragon trembled and slowly stood up. With a hoa.r.s.e roar, an ugly and ferocious zombie dragon was born

The departing proto-dragon didnt know this for the time being. He only instinctively hunted more of his kind and used the flesh of his compatriots to fill his insatiable appet.i.te. But the crystal he swallowed contained Roys demon blood, so every time he devoured his compatriots, he would create an undead dragon

A few years after Roy, Benia, and Julia disappeared, the name of this proto-dragon began to spread among the proto-dragons.

His name was Galakrond
