Chapter 799 New Ancient God
"Haha, I have the ability to do that." Yun's laughter echoed in the air, revealing an unprecedented confidence.
Xindi Yalai stared at Yun, a hint of doubt in his eyes. "You are not injured this time, and it seems that you defeated Archimonde easily?"
Yun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a smug smile, "Of course, didn't you just say it? I have always exceeded your imagination."
However, Xin Diyalai's doubts did not dissipate. She pressed on, "But you always win by a narrow margin. How could it be so easy this time?"
Yun shrugged nonchalantly, "I don't know. I was worried about you just now. I don't know what happened. Anyway, it was very simple. He didn't even try to hide. I stabbed him to death easily."
Xin Diyalai shook her head helplessly, knowing that it would be difficult to get more useful information from Yun. So she turned her gaze to Aaron and the others and asked, "What do you feel?"
Aaron and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. After a moment's silence, Tal Rasha spoke first: "Every time Yun swung his sword, I suddenly felt as if I were frozen in place, completely unable to move."
Medivh then added, "Well, indeed, that feeling isn't that my body can't move, but... it's a sudden, strange feeling from deep within me that I don't want to move."
"Huh? You couldn't move just now?" Yun stared at everyone in astonishment, his heart filled with confusion. He had sensed something was amiss. After all, Archimonde was a formidable foe; no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't have killed him so easily. However, the reality was that Archimonde was completely powerless during the battle, like a lamb to the slaughter. This was truly bizarre.
Seeing this, Sindyale quickly asked, "Does this have anything to do with your previous body?" She keenly sensed the connection and felt that Yun's physical changes might be the key factor leading to this unusual battle.
Aaron suddenly interrupted and said, "By the way, what was going on with that body just now? The human form before was not you, and this giant is not you either. What did you experience down there?" His question caught Yun off guard, but he decided to tell the truth.
Yun took a deep breath and said slowly, "This is a long story. That body is actually another me. I don't know why this happened, it seems like a mysterious force is controlling everything. As for this giant's body, from what I understand, it is the awakened Titan from the planet Argus."
Although his words were brief, the amount of information contained in them astonished everyone.
A Titan from Argus? This was an extremely powerful being. Could it be that Yun had some special connection to this power? Everyone looked at each other, unsure how to respond.
Yun was filled with worry, as he found it difficult to explain this absurd claim from his other self. He began to wonder, if they continued to question him, how would he respond? Should he tell them that he wasn't the real Yun, or that he had traveled from another world? These explanations would be sheer fantasy, impossible for them to comprehend.
Just as Yun was feeling anxious, Medivh suddenly interrupted, "Titans? Titans from Argus? No wonder Sargeras just said you have the abilities of a Titan! Perhaps the Titans' abilities have some special suppressive effect, otherwise they wouldn't be such powerful beings in the universe. After all, relying solely on the amount of energy cannot guarantee the Titans' dominance. So, this mysterious ability may be the key to the Titans' strength."
After hearing Medivh's words, Yun felt even more bewildered. He knew nothing about this energy, nor how to harness it. Just as he was about to inquire about it, Sintiare acted nonchalant, saying, "It doesn't matter. If you know, then know. If you don't, then don't."
After hearing what Xin Diyalai said, Yun's face instantly turned gloomy. He widened his eyes and glared at Xin Diyalai, with obvious anger in his voice: "What do you mean?"
Sintiare met Yun's gaze fearlessly, her lips even curling up slightly in a mocking smile. She replied bluntly, "You know a lot about other people. You even knew this was an awakened Titan on Argus. You might not even know that Archimonde has been on Argus for so long. But you also know so little about yourself. When it comes to your affairs, we've analyzed more than you do, so we don't count on you at all."
Yun was choked by Sinti's words and felt speechless. After all, he was their boss, the strongest force here. Not only did he master the power of the Titans, he was also chosen by the system and even possessed the abilities of an Ancient God. Yet, he was being looked down upon and ridiculed by Sinti, and this seemed to be more than once.
However, Yun sighed silently inwardly. He had to admit that Sintiarai was right. Although he was powerful, he didn't have a deep understanding of some things within himself, and often needed to rely on others' analysis and inferences. Thinking of this, Yun's mood calmed down a little. He shook his head helplessly and decided not to argue with Sintiarai anymore.
Yet, Yun was filled with doubt. He was clearly using a system similar to that of the Old Gods, so why had he become a Titan? Was it because he was borrowing this body? Yet, during the fierce battle with Argus, he hadn't seen this body perform any similar abilities, which was truly puzzling. Now, Yun had no one to ask for answers to this mystery.
"By the way, have you been staying here all the time?" Yun suddenly remembered this question and asked Ishka.
Ishka quickly replied, "Yes, my lord. Back then, under your wise leadership, we fought bravely under the Holy Light Tower No. 8 and engaged in a thrilling confrontation with the Burning Legion. The outcome of this battle was much better than in the original history, and we successfully saved a large number of Eredar." At this point, Ishka could not hide his excitement.
After hearing this, Yun frowned slightly and asked, "Hmm? Since you successfully resisted the attack of the Burning Legion, why did Velen leave? And didn't Kil'jaeden and Archimonde surrender in the end? And didn't you also become a member of the Burning Legion?" He was full of curiosity about the development of this history and eager to know the reasons.
"This is truly a frustrating situation," Ishka sighed. "Although we successfully withstood the Burning Legion's fierce attack at the Holy Light Tower No. 8, the planet Argus has been ravaged beyond recognition by fel energy, and all food sources have been cut off. Only we, the demonic eredar, have managed to survive in this desolate land with our tenacious vitality."
He paused, then continued, "Lord Kil'jaeden and Lord Archimonde had no other choice. To ensure their people's survival, they had to lead some of their people to join the Burning Legion. Lord Velen, with his foresight, saw many possible outcomes. Ultimately, he decided to let us stay and care for the eredar who could not leave with Lord Kil'jaeden and Lord Archimonde."
Ishka's voice was a little low, as if he felt a little guilty about this decision. However, Yun smiled and comforted him, "Don't blame yourself, Ishka. Everything you have done is for the future of the Eredar, so that our race can survive better. Under such difficult circumstances, you have done your best, and that is enough."
Hearing Yun's words, Ishka smiled with relief. He looked at Yun gratefully and said, "Sir, it's great that you understand us."
At this moment, Elodus, standing nearby, couldn't contain his excitement. He quickly stepped forward and supported the already agitated Ishka. He said excitedly, "Sir, your words warm our hearts. We have been fighting for the survival of the Eredar. Although the journey is full of hardships, when we think of people like you who understand and support us, all our efforts are worth it."
"This is the attitude I have always held. No matter what a person does, he always has his reasons. You can be puzzled by his behavior, you can hate him, or even want to kill him, but you must not be self-righteous and believe that you are absolutely right and he is completely wrong." Yun's words continued to flow like a gurgling stream.
Medivh listened from the side. After Yun paused for a moment, he commented thoughtfully, "While your perspective is objective, it seems to lack some of your own personal opinions."
Yun nodded slightly, agreeing with Medivh's sentiments. He was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Actually, I'm often confused myself. I can't seem to truly fit in with this world. I always feel an inexplicable sense of strangeness lingering within me."
Medivh stared at Yun, a hint of surprise in his eyes. He obviously did not expect Yun to express his inner feelings so frankly.
Seeing this, Yun smiled bitterly and explained, "I don't know how to express this feeling exactly. I just feel like an outsider in this world, somewhat out of tune with everything around me."
Medivh was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said jokingly, "You are truly a unique existence! Even those guys feel you are a threat. Honestly, judging by all your achievements, your human identity does seem a bit unbecoming."
"Ah," Yun sighed deeply, his face full of distress. "I feel very strange myself. I'm completely confused right now! I have no idea where in time and space I am, and I don't know what I should do."
Yun had originally been able to clearly distinguish between the real world and those space-time nodes, but as more and more evidence emerged, he began to realize that the space-time nodes were definitely not as simple as he had previously imagined. They were definitely not just a duplicate copy, but must contain many unknown secrets and truths.
Now, Yun felt like a lone boat lost in the vast ocean, completely lost and unsure of where to turn. Even more baffling was the discovery of his own body in the very studio he had just visited! This series of events constantly challenged Yun's cognition, causing him to deeply doubt his previous judgment.
Originally, Yun could barely accept the idea that he had traveled to another time and space, but now, he didn't even dare to confirm it easily. This was because all of this was too unbelievable and completely beyond his imagination.
"There are not so many right and wrong, not so many true and false!" Medivh's voice echoed in Yun's ears, like a thunderclap, splitting the fog in his heart.
Yun couldn't help but think of what he had said before. He really didn't have much sense of belonging to this place, nor did he have much nostalgia. So, what was he afraid of?
Medivh continued, "They can use the energy of time and space when they become powerful. Why can't you? With these powers, even if you made mistakes before, you can still solve them. What are you afraid of?"
Yun fell silent, pondering Medivh's words. Indeed, he possessed powerful abilities, so why was he so afraid?
However, Medivh's next words displeased Yun. He said, "Even someone as completely shattered as Sindiarae, you were able to restore her soul. I don't know what else you can do, what you can fear."
Yun muttered to himself, "Although what you said makes some sense, you can't belittle me like that! Even your mother, Aegwynn, wouldn't dare to speak so arrogantly in front of me!"
However, Medivh's words did give Yun some insight. He began to reflect on what he was truly afraid of. Was it fear of the unknown? Or fear of failure? Or something else entirely?
Yun decided not to let these fears and worries constrain him anymore. He would face everything bravely. After all, he possessed powerful abilities. As long as he dared to try, he would be able to overcome difficulties and solve problems.
"Yun, is that you?" A voice came from Yun's mind, it was actually Enzos.
"Enzos?" Yun was very surprised. How could Enzos transmit his voice here?
"Have you become an Old God?" N'Zoth asked curiously.
"Ancient God? What ancient god?" Yun was even more confused. When did he become an ancient god?
"Isn't it you?" N'Zoth continued to ask.
"What happened?" Yun asked curiously.
"A new Ancient God has appeared, bringing the total number of Ancient Gods to eight." N'Zoth said worriedly.
"What? A new Ancient God has appeared?" Yun was even more confused. That was an Ancient God? How could there suddenly be another one? Could it be that he had mastered the Titan energy, and a new Ancient God had appeared to balance the ancient gods?
