Looking at the magnificent river of stars formed by countless souls, even Roy couldn’t help laughing wildly.

What kind of concept was a hundred trillion souls? If the total amount of intelligent life on a planet was a hundred million, then the souls here were equivalent to the amount that could be collected from destroying a million planets.

Of course, more than a hundred million souls could be collected from a planet. But even if it were a hundred times more, it was equivalent to collecting so many souls from ten thousand planets.

It had been around twenty thousand years since Sargeras established the Burning Legion. During this period, it was impossible to determine how many planets the Burning Legion had destroyed. But apart from the souls devoured by the demons of the Burning Legion, Sargeras could still collect so many souls. It was obvious how many planets the Burning Legion had ravaged and annihilated!

And now, all these souls belonged to Roy.

While ecstatically storing these souls, Roy was amazed. To be honest, he was quite surprised that Sargeras had really fulfilled his promise and collected so many souls for him. Although Sargeras had played some tricks during the process of handing the souls over, these tricks were nothing compared to the difficulty of collecting the souls. It was more like venting his emotions.

From this, Roy could infer that Sargeras was actually willing to carry out the agreement from the beginning.

As for why Sargeras had been so willing to collect souls for Roy, something must have happened, or he had witnessed something that left a deep impression on him when he signed the contract with Roy…

As for what the matter was, Roy had no way of knowing, but he didn’t think too much about it now and accelerated the collection of souls. No matter what, he had to get these souls first.

Half an hour passed quickly. Julia and Benia’s reminders came from below, reminding Roy that Nielas’s soul power was about to run out. He looked at the remaining souls and estimated the time. There should be enough.

Sure enough, when the stability of this mirror alternate space began to weaken and become shaky, Roy finally collected all the souls.

He immediately turned around and flew back. In the dark alternate space, only the small room in the distance was the exit of the space. Roy looked at the cracks in the surrounding space and rushed toward the exit as fast as he could.

However, just as he reached the exit and saw Julia and Benia reaching out to him from afar to receive him, an accident happened. Roy felt his consciousness suddenly become absent-minded, and then there was the sound of shattering and collapsing. Everything around him instantly turned into countless fragments like a shattered glass mirror!

Julia’s and Benia’s exclamations echoed in Roy’s ears, but he had already fallen into am utterly lightless world.

For a moment, Roy thought that he had failed to rush out before the space collapsed, so he was trapped in the mirror space. But then he immediately realized that something was wrong. Didn’t the sound of space shattering just now mean that the mirror space had collapsed? Logically speaking, even if he were trapped, he should be trapped in spatial turbulence. How could spatial turbulence be a completely lightless world?

The surrounding scenery looked more like the Void…

Also, there was something wrong with his absent-mindedness just now. Roy was very confident in his spiritual resistance, so there was no reason for his mind to fall into such a state of confusion. He carefully recalled the feeling just now and suddenly found that the absent-mindedness was very similar to… encountering some kind of attack. But this attack didn’t affect his body nor his spiritual world, but… the surrounding environment…

After figuring this out, Roy immediately became vigilant. He first opened the Void Eye on his chest to see if his current environment was really the Void. But after opening the Void Eye, he found that this wasn’t the case. He couldn’t feel any Void power around him, and Auriel on his shoulder also didn’t react.

If he wasn’t the Void, then where was he?

With this doubt in mind, Roy extended all his senses.

Then he found a huge black shadow lurking in the darkness not far away from him.

“Come out!” Roy grinned sinisterly as he turned his body into the Chaos Form. Then he raised his hand and hurled. A ball of light formed by Chaos power appeared. After this ball of light appeared, it immediately dispelled the surrounding darkness and illuminated the huge black shadow in front of him.

Roy finally saw clearly what this black shadow was. It was a curled-up… dragon!

Under the illumination of the ball of light, the dragon slowly spread its body. It was massive, and the scales all over its body gleamed with a deep darkness.

As soon as Roy saw the black scales on this dragon, he subconsciously thought that he had encountered Neltharion. But when he saw the faintly fluorescent horns on the dragon’s head and the fluorescent claws on its four limbs, he realized that this wasn’t Neltharion.

If Neltharion was full of a tyrannical aura, then this strange dragon in front of him was the opposite. It was full of an eerie and gloomy aura.

Roy frowned and carefully sized up the dragon in front of him before comparing it to the dragons in his memory. Finally, he came to a conclusion and asked uncertainly, “You’re… Murozond?!”

“King of Despair Osiris…” the dragon in front of him replied in a gloomy voice. “You really know about my existence…”

After Murozond confirmed his identity, Roy instantly knew how his momentary trance came about. It wasn’t that he hadn’t rushed to the exit of the mirror space in time but because Murozond had accelerated the time of the mirror space, causing it to collapse faster. His momentary absent-mindedness was an illusion caused by time displacement.

This illusion came from time, so of course, his mind wasn’t immune to it…

Roy understood. He turned his head and said thoughtfully, “You ambushed me here because of Karazhan’s special geographical location, right? Seriously, I always thought that Nozdormu would attack me, but I never thought that it would be you…”

“That’s right. Only in Karazhan, a place where time and space are relatively fragile, can I use my power on you…” Murozond completely stretched his body. He floated in the darkness, and his pair of dragon eyes emitting strange light stared intently at Roy. “As for why it’s me… it’s very simple. Because your existence threatens not only Nozdormu but also me!”

The information contained in this sentence was a little large, but Roy understood it almost instantly. In fact, it was easy to understand. Be it Nozdormu or Murozond, they were one entity, and their strengths were almost the same. At most, Murozond was slightly stronger than Nozdormu after being corrupted.

The power of the Aspects of Azeroth was currently weaker than that of demon kings. Otherwise, the Aspects would have definitely fought head-on when Archimonde, Kil’jaeden, and the others led the Burning Legion to invade Azeroth… By the same logic, the Aspects had no chance of winning against Roy because most of their magic power had little effect on him.

But be it Nozdormu or Murozond, what was special about them was that the power they grasped was time!

This should be the only power that could pose a threat to Roy. Coupled with Karazhan’s special environment, theoretically speaking, Murozond could indeed pull Roy into his trap.

As for what Murozond said, Roy understood and couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re saying that I threaten your existence because I’ll kill Nozdormu one day in the future, thus causing you to be unable to be born, right?”

“That’s right. I must prevent this situation from happening!” Murozond said darkly. “A foreign being like you shouldn’t have appeared in the historical timeline of the world of Azeroth. But Nozdormu turned a blind eye to your appearance and didn’t correct the timeline of your existence as he did in other timelines. This means that your existence has great significance to him. He abandoned the timeline that should have developed correctly and chose the timeline where you exist as the main line… I can’t tolerate this behavior. Since he’s unwilling to take action, let me do it!”

“So that’s why!” Roy nodded. He finally sorted out all the clues.

In fact, Roy was very surprised when he appeared in this world and found traces of his existence in history on Argus. He knew very well what Nozdormu had been doing, so he was very curious as to why Nozdormu tolerated the behavior of an outsider demon interfering with history.

At first, Roy thought that this might be due to Nozdormu’s insufficient ability. After all, his power came from a titan, so his ability might only be effective on Azeroth and couldn’t interfere with matters in the universe. Thus, he was helpless about the appearance of the third commander of the Burning Legion.

In order to verify this, Roy had specially rushed from Argus to Outland and then tried his best to enter Azeroth.

But after hearing what Murozond said, Roy realized that Nozdormu’s limited power might be one thing. But on the other hand, it was because Nozdormu was unwilling to correct the timeline with Roy’s existence.

Did Nozdormu choose to let me exist because I will kill him to avoid an ending like the End Time? In other words, did I kill Nozdormu, causing Murozond to be unable to appear, thereby indirectly continuing the future existence of the world of Azeroth?

This is really… interesting!!

“Okay, I understand…” Roy grinned sinisterly and turned to look at the dark space around him. “So, the dark world here isn’t an alternate space, but you’ve pulled me into… the dimension of time? Why can I still use my power here?”

“Time does not have any state, and it can also have any state!” Murozond replied. “There can be nothing here, and everything can exist. You’ve guessed right. This is indeed the dimension of time, the appearance before time combines with the material world. Only a true controller of time can enter this dimension.”

“But now, you’ve pulled me in…” Roy thoughtfully stretched out his hand from his mist-like body and took out a feather shining with a strange light. “Is it because of this?”

What Roy took out was naturally the feather that Lilith had given him. Strangely enough, after he took out this feather, the darkness and nothingness around him disappeared in an instant, and some bizarre illusory scenes began to appear distorted around him.

Clearly, the time power in Lilith’s feather began to interfere with the dimension of time. It was precisely because of the power in the feather that Roy could exist in the dimension of time.

“As expected…” Murozond stared at the feather in Roy’s hand with a greedy gaze. “I originally threw you directly into a time flux, but I didn’t expect you to appear in this dimension of time. It turns out that you really have the power to protect time… If I’m not wrong, it was bestowed to you by a powerful existence who also controls time, right?”

“What’s the matter? Do you want to snatch it from me?” Roy looked at Murozond’s greedy gaze teasingly and knew what he was thinking. “Do you think that’s possible?”

“How will I know if I don’t try? This is my hiding place, my territory!” Murozond laughed malevolently. “As long as I can snatch this feather, I can have time power comparable to the titans!”

Roy snorted coldly and raised his hand to integrate the feather back into his body. “I think you’re thinking nonsense!”

But Murozond didn’t care. He flapped his wings and rushed at Roy!

Facing Murozond’s enormous dragon mouth, Roy snorted coldly and raised his hand, intending to teach him a lesson and smash his dragon teeth. But unexpectedly, Murozond, who was clearly attacking head-on, suddenly disappeared the moment Roy attacked. Then he instantly appeared behind Roy and bit his wing!

Murozond was so fast that Roy couldn’t react in time, so he couldn’t counterattack in time. Fortunately, he was in the Chaos Form, so after taking a bite, Murozond didn’t bite his physical body but only tore off a large amount of Chaos mist from his wing. This mist drifted out from between his teeth and returned to Roy to merge again.

Although Roy didn’t suffer any injuries, his expression became grave.

Murozond shook his head and laughed arrogantly. “It seems like you’ve discovered it… That’s right. Perhaps you’re very powerful, more powerful than me, but don’t forget that this is the dimension of time. You’re only using the power of time to appear here, but I can control the power of the dimension of time. This is the most essential difference between you and me here! I may not be able to defeat you at once, but I can fight you here for a thousand years, ten thousand years, or even a million years. I will wear down all your power bit by bit during this long time!”

Roy frowned and didn’t answer. Instead, he condensed his strongest power, summoned a dark lightning bolt that was several kilometers thick, and hurled it toward Murozond’s head.

Logically speaking, the attack speed of the Dark Lightning should be the fastest among all of Roy’s attacks. But this bolt of destructive lightning that could pierce through a planet missed. Murozond’s figure had already escaped before the lightning struck him.

“Tsk!” Roy felt a headache coming on. Controlling time was completely unreasonable.

After dodging Roy’s attack, Murozond continued to attack him. The dragon and the demon attacked each other in the dimension of time.

An unknown amount of time passed. Even Roy felt that his situation was very troublesome. During this period of time, he was basically on the side of being beaten. For Murozond, who could control time, this was his home ground. He could dodge all of Roy’s attacks and make all his attacks hit Roy. Even though the damage to Roy was limited, just as he said, he was wearing down Roy’s strength bit by bit.

Realizing that he couldn’t continue like this, Roy had been thinking about how to break out of this situation. He used the power of his divine spark to try to make Murozond self-destruct in despair. However, this self-destruction was terminated as soon as it took effect. Murozond reversed his time and returned to his original state.

Roy knew that he would probably have to break this dimension of time if he wanted to break out of this situation, but how could it be so easy to break it? The dimension of time was so vast and massive that the power of his divine spark couldn’t affect the entire dimension at all. It was even questionable if it would even work.

So in the end, after much deliberation, Roy only had one move left…

After sensing Roy’s thoughts, Auriel, who had been lying on his shoulder, suddenly raised her head. The compound eyes on her face under the hood opened. At the same time, her wings rose, and the dense strange eyes on her feathers emitted a dark light.

The Void power in Auriel’s body began to cooperate at full speed and continuously poured into Roy’s body through her arms.

Roy’s body began to transform into the Void Form, and the mist body exuding an ominous pressure began to spread. The Void Eye on his chest opened again.

Not enough, not enough! Roy thought as he squeezed out the Void power in Auriel’s body with all his might. At the same time, he tried his best to suppress the Chaos power in his body so that it wouldn’t fight against the Void power surging over.

In order to break out of this situation, Roy resolutely planned to completely transform himself into a Void creature!
