Volume 10: Doomsday Storm Chapter 594: Dark Judgment Day
The two rushed out of the corrupted golden tree. As soon as they came outside, Murphy immediately discovered that it was not just the inside of the golden tree that was corrupted.
At this moment, the originally brilliant and gorgeous golden trunk of the golden tree has turned into a strange color of half black and half gold. The gold and black are constantly conflicting and blending, as if the holy light and the shadow are fighting for control of this giant tree.
However, the shadow eventually prevailed, and the brilliant light cast by the golden tree has now turned into a dark shadow. The huge shadow covered the entire city of Lordaeron. The golden leaves turned into black rotten leaves, falling from the sky like dark moldy rain, shrouding the city of Lordaeron in a strange black fog.
Not only that, the entire territory of Lordaeron was already full of small golden trees. These were branches extending from the roots of the golden trees in various places, but now they have become tentacles of the void.
The power of shadow continued to spread along the roots, and the golden trees of all sizes in the city turned into the color of shadow one after another, spreading the evil power of darkness.
The priests of the Church of Light, the paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand, and a large number of civilians who practiced Holy Light, all sensed something strange at this moment. An ominous aura filled the air, and the corrupt power that descended from the sky was corroding their consciousness and corrupting their flesh and blood.
Some tried to call upon the power of the Holy Light to fight this corruption, but found that they could not feel the power of the Holy Light at all, and only heard whispers and murmurs of horror in response.
Screams and wails were already heard in the city.
The only one who was ecstatic was the Shadow Corrupter imprisoned in the prison. In the past period of time, there have been continuous appearances of Corrupted people in Lordaeron City due to improper practice of Holy Light. These people were imprisoned in the prison, but now they felt the call from the void.
"How could this happen! How could this happen!"
Looking at the corrupt leaves falling from the sky, the golden trees gradually turning black, the cries and screams coming from the city, and listening to the shrill cries of the corrupted citizens of Lordaeron, Godwin's face was already filled with panic.
Murphy was not surprised. Light and shadow are twins. The stronger the power of holy light, the more terrifying it would be when it fell.
With the Void's will doing this, the entire Lordaeron is likely to fall.
Godwin looked at him suddenly, as if he had grasped the last straw.
"Brother Aidan, please help me! Save my kingdom, help me defeat the Will of the Void. As long as you can save my country, I can promise you anything. Do you want money? I can give you 100 million, not 1 billion!"
Murphy shrugged and said, "Sorry, I can't do that."
"I see. You are not short of money, right? Yes, now you are already a god!" Godwin seemed to have suddenly realized, "How about this, as long as you help me this time, I will follow your lead in the future, and you will be my big brother."
Murphy still shook his head: "Sorry, no."
"Why!?" Godwin shouted.
Murphy sighed, "After I became a god, I was interviewed by the game company. They gave me some warnings, asking me not to interfere with the plot of the game casually, let alone disrupt their plot planning, otherwise my account will be banned."
What!? Godwin couldn't believe it. It was supposed to be a free game where players could create history.
But he immediately realized that this kind of thing was just a slogan and he could never take it seriously.
"But you are a god now? Didn't you also gain the power of a god in reality? Isn't that right?"
Murphy nodded calmly, "Yes, I did get the power of God, but the other party is a game company. Who knows what they are capable of? If they really block my account, I will cry to death. So before I figure out what kind of power they have, I can't take action easily.
Saving you from death is already the limit.
In order to promote the plot they have arranged and attract players to the game, game companies must of course constantly create disasters and create powerful villain bosses for players to fight, so the destruction of Lordaeron is inevitable.
But you don't have to worry. Generally speaking, justice will eventually triumph over evil. I suggest you evacuate Lordaeron first, and when the new expansion is released, you can gather heroes and adventurers and fight your way back."
"hateful!"
Godwin clenched his fists. It turned out that he, the king, had always been a cannon fodder written in the script?
He understood that Murphy was right. It was impossible to judge how powerful the gaming companies were.
He can only follow the script arranged by the game company. If he is stubborn and tries to forcefully fight against the will of the void, he will have no chance of winning.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves brought him back to reality.
It was Uther who was leading a large number of paladins here and immediately saw this horrifying scene.
"Your Majesty, what happened!" Uther jumped off his horse and asked in shock and anger.
Godwin took a deep breath. "The Will of the Void, a powerful evil god from the Shadow Void, has corrupted the Golden Tree! And it intends to corrupt the entire Lordaeron with the evil power of the void."
"What!" Uther was shocked. "We should rush into the Golden Tree immediately, destroy the Void Will, and take back the Golden Tree!"
Godwin shook his head and said, "No, Lordaeron is doomed. We cannot save this country with our own strength. We must retreat immediately and evacuate as many of the survivors as possible."
Uther wanted to persuade him, but suddenly a strange singing voice came from the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw that the huge crown of the golden tree had turned completely black. In the dark shadow, the figures of knights emerged. They had dark wings on their backs and sang sad elegies. They flew in groups across the sky and spread the shadows to even farther places.
Those fallen holy spirits flew everywhere. They were once the heroic spirits whose souls and the golden tree were entrusted, but now they had fallen along with the golden tree.
Seeing this, Godwin became more determined.
"Quick, evacuate immediately! Rescue as many survivors as possible."
At the command, the Knights quickly changed direction and headed out of the city, but Murphy had already quietly flown into the sky, witnessing everything as a bystander, and only offering a helping hand when necessary.
At this moment, the city of Lordaeron has become a living hell.
Countless citizens were corrupted by the fallen leaves from the sky. In fact, not all of them were corrupted. The more they practiced holy light, the more likely they were to become the target of those corrupted fallen leaves.
Because of the golden tree, almost everyone in Lordaeron practices Holy Light. However, because the threshold is too low, a large number of practitioners simply do not have a strong enough mind to control this power.
At this time, it is easy to be corrupted and degraded with just a little influence of the power of shadow.
Only those paladins and priests with strong minds can resist this erosion. Of course, there are also a few people who are completely incompatible with the Holy Light. Because they are unable to cultivate the Holy Light, they are spared at this time.
But although they were temporarily immune to corruption, they were surrounded by corrupted residents everywhere. These corrupted citizens had deformed lesions on their bodies, and had the unique ugly and grotesque appearance of void creatures.
The holy light power in their bodies has transformed into the same level of shadow power. To these void-corrupted humans, normal people have become natural enemies.
To corrupt or kill them is the only goal of these corrupt humans.
There were battles everywhere, and the survivors were fighting and retreating through the streets of the city, or being killed and devoured by the Corrupted.
Or they might barely escape with their lives, but soon face more enemies.
The entire city of Lordaeron is simply a huge biochemical crisis scene.
Godwin led the Knights of the Silver Hand along the King's Road all the way out of the city. Their team were all high-level paladins, almost all of whom possessed a strong and tenacious mind. In addition, each of them could release the power of holy light, making them the rare light in this dark world. Survivors kept rushing to join them.
Godwin also sent several great lords to rescue survivors from nearby neighborhoods.
"Odin's beard, Godwin, what on earth happened here!" A group of dwarves, led by Muradin Bronzebeard, fought their way out of the dwarven area. Lordaeron was the political center of the Alliance, so all forces and races had settlers here.
"Don't talk nonsense, fight with me."
Godwin had no time to explain.
The golden sword of law in his hand was swung continuously, chopping down the swarming void creatures.
Holy light breaks evil!
A ray of holy sword energy slashed out, creating a gap in the pile of monsters.
Boom boom boom!
An explosion widened the gap, and it turned out that the court mages gathered together and rushed over to join them. Since the mages all practiced magic, almost none of them could use holy light, and they were also a rare group of people who were not corrupted.
"Quick, help me to create a gap! Paladins, kill!"
Fortunately, the Void Will seemed to be busy corrupting the golden tree and did not chase them out. When Godwin led the team of survivors out of the city of Lordaeron, thousands of people had gathered around him.
Although many people survived, the number was pitifully small compared to the number of people who died in that city.
Lordaeron, as the most prosperous capital of the Alliance, has nearly one million residents.
He looked towards Lordaeron. The city was completely shrouded in shadow. There was silence in the city, as if it were a dead city.
But Godwin knew that there were countless corrupted humans lurking there, and soon they would form a terrifying army of monsters...
"Your Majesty, we cannot stop. The roots of the golden tree have spread across most of the kingdom. We must evacuate the residents of other cities out of the golden tree's radiation range before they are corrupted."
Godwin immediately perked up. The more important it was at this moment, the more he had to stay calm. If his mentality collapsed, there would be no hope at all.
As long as you defeat the Will of the Void and awaken the Supreme Will, there will be a chance for recovery, and you can even complete the original story mission!
…
Just as Godwin led the survivors to evacuate.
World announcement sounds also sound throughout the game
[World Announcement: In the year 1443 of the Sky Era, Ner'zhul absorbed the essence of the five ancient gods and successfully transformed into the Will of the Void.
Now, this powerful evil god from the Shadow Void has descended into the physical universe and appeared in Lordaeron City, the capital of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and has successfully corrupted the golden tree. As a result, an unprecedented terrible disaster is about to befall.
Most of the residents of Lordaeron were corrupted by the power of the void, and King Godwyn of Lordaeron only led a few thousand survivors to escape the city.
The Will of the Void controls the corrupt power from the Shadow Void, corroding and transforming all living things. It has only one goal, to transform the physical universe into part of the Shadow Void.
This event was called the Dark Judgment Day by the survivors of Lordaeron.
This incident has been recorded in the Sky Chronicles - The Void Era. 】
[World Announcement: As the game plot progresses and develops, the game is about to enter the 2.3 era and start a new expansion pack [Age of the Void], which will be launched in the near future.
The terrifying evil god has descended upon this world. The enemy from the void has sounded the prelude to doomsday. The distorted and corrupted fate is still quietly approaching, and is about to befall every life in the world of the sky.
Whether it is the Alliance, the Horde, the Night Elf, or the Undead Alliance, they will all face unprecedented challenges.
Brave adventurers, follow your hero, protect your kingdom and people, and protect your world.
The relevant information of this expansion pack has been officially updated, and players can log in to the official website to view relevant information.
The following is a brief summary of the information of the expansion pack:
A new adventure map - Dark Lordaeron - has been opened.
The once sacred and solemn capital of Lordaeron has now become a kingdom of void and shadow. The golden tree has been completely corrupted by evil forces, and the dark forces have spread along the roots of the golden tree to every piece of land in the kingdom. Only those remote areas that have never benefited from the grace of the golden tree still maintain order.
The city of Lordaeron, shrouded in the shadow of the dark golden tree, has become a dark cave where void creatures, faceless men, and corrupted humans gather.
Only the most powerful adventurers can explore here.
The Alliance, the Horde, the Night Alliance, and the Undead Alliance all sent out their own reconnaissance forces and established outposts on the edge of the dark realm.
Adventurer players can join the survey force through the recruiting officer of their faction and go to Lordaeron shrouded in darkness to fight against the evil enemies from the Shadow Void.
Added a new monster force - Void Dark Domain.
Power rating: Invincible.
The leader of the force——Void Will.
The Void Dark Realm is the main monster force in the current 2.3 Void Era version, consisting of the Faceless Legion, the Void Invader Legion, and the Corruptor Legion.
Will of the Void is the version BOSS.
Added new player selectable monsters:
Faceless, Void Shadow Fiend, Shadow Aberration, Flesh Crawler, Void Walker, Shadow Elemental, Corrupted Human, Corrupted Dwarf, Corrupted Elves...
Added new player-selectable BOSS:
Void Lord, Faceless Warlord, Shadow Knight Lord, Dark Archbishop...
Added new game mechanics——
Mechanism 1: Whisper of the Void. All intelligent creatures will hear the whispers of the Void Will after entering the Dark Lordaeron. A Willpower judgment will be made every ten minutes. If the judgment fails, 1-10 points of Sanity will be lost . Each unit has 100 points of Sanity. Once the Sanity value reaches zero, the unit will fall into endless madness (this effect cannot be effective for undead, demons, elements, and mechanical units).
Mechanism 2: Flesh Corruption. During the exploration of Dark Lordaeron and the battles with void creatures, players will randomly accumulate corruption points. Once the accumulated corruption points reach 100, the player will trigger a flesh corruption, randomly gain a void power, and cause the racial attributes to deviate 10% towards void creatures. Players can use holy light or other purification mechanisms to dispel the corruption effects on their bodies after leaving the adventure area.
Once the corruption exceeds 50%, the player will be irreversibly transformed into a void creature (this effect also applies to adventurers, but adventurers can clear the effect by death).
Mechanism 3: Return of the Void Will. As the boss of Skyworld 2.3, the Void Will gains 50% of all attributes and cannot be killed by normal means (no health value is displayed). When the Void Will descends on the battlefield, all void creatures gain the [Void Blessing] buff, the shadow damage caused is increased by 50%, and health values can be quickly restored in the dark.
Mechanism 4: Redemption of the Holy Light King. As the Holy Light King Godwin who planted the golden tree and eventually caused the disaster, he vowed to save his kingdom at all costs.
All adventurers can go to the King of Light to receive the Holy Light Shelter BUFF, which can protect players and reduce the effects of all negative mechanisms suffered when adventuring in Dark Lordaeron.
The Holy Light King Godwin will also serve as the main storyline hero of this version and will release tasks related to the main storyline.
Mechanism 5: Light and Darkness. Now this war has become a battle between light and darkness. Although players cannot kill the Void Will through normal means, they can weaken the strength of the Void Dark Realm through various means.
Method 1: Destroy the small golden trees. There are a large number of small golden trees growing in Lordaeron. Now these small golden trees have been corrupted by the void and have become a transit station for spreading dark forces. Every time a small golden tree is burned, the strength of the void dark domain can be reduced by 0.1%-1%.
Method 2: Light up the cathedral. There are a large number of Holy Light Cathedrals in Lordaeron. Although these cathedrals have been shrouded in darkness, the seeds of Holy Light still exist. Help the priests of the Holy Light Church to purify these cathedrals. Each time a cathedral is purified, the strength of the Void Dark Domain can be reduced by 1%.
Method 3: Eliminate the Void Lords. The Void Will has a large number of Void Lords under its command. They are pure shadow creatures and an extension of the power of the Void Will. Every time a Void Lord is eliminated, the strength of the Void Dark Domain can be reduced by 1%-2%.
When the power strength of the Void Dark Realm drops below 50%, the health of the Void Will will be revealed.
