Chapter 677: Elune, You Don’t Want… Right?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
For a moment, Tyrande thought that she was hearing things. What kind of joke was this?! An evil demon praying to the great Elune?!
Intense anger surged in Tyrande’s heart. In her opinion, her faith had been blasphemed, so she couldn’t help cursing, using the marketplace slang of the night elves. The general idea was to curse that Roy would die from the most poisonous snake bites. Even cursing had to carry elegant metaphors. This was the characteristic of elves.
But Roy didn’t understand at all, nor did he need to understand. Of course, he knew where Tyrande’s anger came from, but what seemed inconceivable to Tyrande was quite plausible to Roy.
Ever since he broke through to the Deadly Sin level and obtained the perspective of a high-dimensional observer, Roy realized that gods like Elune, who could send miracles anywhere at any time, should have similar abilities as him. Every time their names were called, they could sense it and look over.
As for why there was this name induction effect, it might be because of ‘true names’. Just like the true names of demons, the souls of many powerful races had a direct connection with their true names.
Of course, for gods who spread their faith all over the universe, there might be many believers calling out the gods’ names at the same time. In this state, even gods wouldn’t be able to take care of everything, so under normal circumstances, they would automatically block calls that simply mentioned their name and only respond to those who called out repeatedly.
Simply put, they would ignore the calls of those who hung up after one call. Only those who frantically called would divert their attention to take a look.
In the eyes of the believers, this crazy behavior of constantly calling was the so-called prayer…
Based on this, as long as Roy launched a series of life-threatening calls to Elune, he should theoretically be able to establish a connection with her. This had nothing to do with whether or not he had pious faith in her. To put it bluntly, this so-called pious faith was simply something that believers had thought of to numb themselves.
However, it was one thing to connect to Elune, but it was another whether she was willing to respond to this connection. If she hated Roy’s demon identity, it was possible to ignore him.
But it didn’t matter. Wasn’t Tyrande, Elune’s future avatar, in front of him?
Therefore, Roy ignored Tyrande’s resentful eyes and expression. He raised his head, and two scorching rays of light shot out from his eyes and bombarded the ceiling of the room where Tyrande was imprisoned. With a loud explosion, he sent the roof of the entire palace flying, allowing the bright moonlight to shine in to the greatest extent.
This rough action shocked Tyrande. But after feeling the moonlight filling the air, she realized that this demon in front of her was serious about what he had just said!
Under Tyrande’s astonished gaze, Roy looked up at the moon above and began to call out to Elune.
“Elune, are you there?
“Elune, show yourself and see me!”
Maintaining sufficient spiritual strength, Roy shouted Elune’s name over and over again. The reason why he called out to the moonlight was that he felt Elune’s high-dimensional perspective might be different from his, and she needed moons for transmission. Moreover, even the transmission of power and the manifestation of miracles were achieved through moons. This might be the origin of Elune’s Moon Goddess title.
The planet Azeroth had two moons, one white and one blue. The night elves and the other natives of Azeroth called the white one ‘White Lady’ and the blue one ‘Blue Child’. Most of the time, the moon shining on the ground of Azeroth was the White Lady, and now it was above Roy’s head.
As a priestess of the moon, Tyrande was naturally very sensitive to moonlight. She didn’t know if it was an illusion or not, but she found that the moonlight had indeed intensified a lot with Roy’s shouts.
In other words, Elune might really be paying attention to this place…
No, Elune, this is a demon. You don’t need to respond to him… Tyrande was very nervous as she prayed silently.
Perhaps it was because Tyrande’s prayer had taken effect, but Roy called out to Elune dozens of times, but she didn’t respond. It was quiet all around, and only the cooing of owls came from time to time.
“Aren’t you willing to appear?” Roy frowned and thought about it. He could only use his final move. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Tyrande.
The moment Roy’s demon claws grabbed Tyrande, the Holy Power attached to the moonlight barrier around her immediately reacted, burning his palm until it sizzled, but that was all. It didn’t cause much damage to him.
Roy held Tyrande in his hand and looked up. “Elune, your priestess is in my hands. You don’t want to see me crush her into a meat paste, do you?”
While speaking, Roy slowly clenched his claws, and an immense force instantly acted on the moonlight barrier. Not only did the moonlight barrier begin to shrink at a visible speed, but fine lightning gradually appeared on the outside.
Although Tyrande couldn’t understand how much strength Roy’s claws were exerting under the isolation of the barrier, the appearance of the fine lightning meant that the energy of the barrier was in an overloaded state, indicating that it was being overwhelmed.
Tyrande immediately panicked. She realized that the blessings that Elune had bestowed upon her might not last long in front of this demon king…
Elune might have also realized this. With Roy’s gradual increase in strength, the intensity of the moonlight in the sky increased significantly.
Although the blessing that Elune had cast on Tyrande could effectively protect Tyrande from harm, there was still a limit. After all, Elune’s power was transmitted from afar, and it might even be crossing the entire universe. She might be able to strengthen the power of the blessing to fight against Roy, but the consumption of power during the transmission process was too great. This confrontation was very disadvantageous for her.
As more and more lightning appeared in the moonlight barrier, it became more and more obvious that the barrier would soon collapse. Tyrande’s face showed an expression of pain due to the energy pressure.
Under Roy’s threat of “Madam, you don’t want…”, Elune had no choice but to respond to his call.
With a murmur-like sigh like the last time, the moonlight shining down from the sky began to distort, and soon, a hazy figure appeared.
She floated about two meters above Tyrande and Roy. This phantom-like figure was a female night elf with slightly glowing skin. Her eyes were the silver of pure moonlight, and the robe covering her arms, chest, and legs was adorned with silver jewelry.
Upon closer look, one would find that her face was actually very close to Tyrande’s. At first glance, one might even think that she was Tyrande’s sister.
The moment Tyrande saw the phantom of Elune, she even forgot her pain. She looked up at Elune excitedly. She had only seen Elune’s figure in her sea of consciousness when she prayed, but now, this phantom appeared in reality.
Only Roy was sizing up Elune’s phantom from head to toe. He could confirm that this was a power projection of Elune, but the power attached to the projection was not strong. But he wasn’t sure if it was her appearance. The image of this night elf in front of him was probably not Elune’s true appearance. It was obvious at a glance that this night elf image was a special effects model designed to fool believers…
Didn’t Tyrande’s piety rise to a whole new level the moment Elune appeared?
Roy was observing Elune, and Elune’s phantom was also observing Roy from above. After looking at each other for a while, Roy suddenly threw Tyrande away, spread his hands, and smiled. “Elune… Your Grace, we have come into contact again. If that wisp of thought last time was our first contact, then this is our second time.”
Tyrande, who had been thrown to the floor, struggled to get up, wanting to express her gratitude and piety to Elune. Unexpectedly, Elune waved her hand gently, and Tyrande’s entire body froze, her eyes showing a blank look.
Clearly, Elune didn’t want Tyrande to hear her conversation with Roy, so she blocked all of her perceptions, which was also a form of protection for her.
“No, this is the third time for me…”
After blocking Tyrande’s perception, Elune’s phantom spoke in a murmur. Her lips didn’t move, and her voice seemed to come from all directions. “You might not know, but I was silently watching you when you first descended on Azeroth.”
The first time I descended on Azeroth? Roy frowned and thought about it. It should be the time I brought Julia and Benia to use the power of the Well of Eternity to advance. That’s right. There was such a big commotion at the Well of Eternity. It’s normal for Elune to notice it.
If this was the first time Elune had come into contact with him, then the time he caught the naaru L’ura on Argus was the second time.
Nodding, Roy asked his doubts, “Okay, Your Grace Elune. When we came into contact for the second time, why did you leave a sigh in my mind?”
This was actually Roy’s greatest doubt. If Elune wanted to come into contact with him, why didn’t she appear? If she didn’t want to come into contact with him, why did she let him hear that sigh? So he really couldn’t tell what she meant.
In this universe, there were too many high-level life forms. Titans, Eternals, and the like emerged endlessly, representing the various forces in the game. Roy felt that Elune definitely had her own goals. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have spread her faith and religion everywhere in the universe. As a foreigner from another world, Roy definitely had to understand the attitudes of the various forces toward him.
Facing Roy’s question, Elune didn’t answer directly. Instead, she murmured as though she was talking to herself or telling Roy, “The titans made a mistake. They should not have bestowed the power of time onto others… The chaotic timeline will cause the future to become more and more unpredictable…”
Roy understood this. It seemed like Elune knew his identity as a time traveler, and she also knew that the origin of this time traveling was due to the power bestowed upon the Aspects by the titans…
These words were equivalent to pointing at Aman’Thul’s nose and scolding him. It seemed that Elune indeed had many complaints about the way the titans did things.
In that case, that sigh might be sighing that the titans’ reckless actions had caused her trouble. After all, Elune had created the naaru, but because of Roy, a time traveler, a naaru had fallen into the hands of the Burning Legion and couldn’t escape.
There was a short silence. While Roy was savoring Elune’s deeper meaning, his main body was taking advantage of the time he had established contact with her to search for traces of her from a high-dimensional perspective.
This Moon Goddess, whom the night elves hailed as the true god, was too mysterious. Even now, in many worlds, no one had seen Elune’s true appearance, making Roy really curious.
However, what was strange was that Roy’s main body, which was currently on Argus, could only trace back to the White Lady moon from a high-dimensional perspective. When he continued to trace upward, he found that the source was cut off!
And Elune clearly noticed this tracing, but she wasn’t angry about it. Instead, she said to Roy on Azeroth, “Osiris, I know you want to find me, but… do not waste your effort. Because of a great accident, my body has long been destroyed in the real world…”
“What?!” This news shocked Roy quite a bit. This was something he had never expected.
However, it was certainly impossible for Elune to explain this to him. She continued to murmur to Roy, “I have observed you and other demons from the Abyss. Your behavior is very similar to the demons who first entered this universe. I roughly understand what you are looking for, but give up. There is nothing there anymore… So give up. There are enough disasters in this universe…”
Roy was confused by the latter part of her paragraph. But before he could ask, he saw that Elune’s phantom was gradually dimming and dissipating. She was leaving!
“Wait, explain clearly!” Roy shouted.
However, since Elune wanted to leave, how could Roy make her stay? At the last moment before the phantom dissipated, Elune’s voice came again. “Let Tyrande go. This poor child still has her unfinished mission… Please do not make things difficult for her…”
After these words, Elune’s phantom completely vanished, and the moonlight returned to its original coldness and tranquility…
