Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

As Sargeras’s apprentice and lieutenant, Aggramar had made an agreement with Sargeras that they would each go in one direction to eliminate demons. But he never expected that in the short few years after they separated, Lord Sargeras, whom he worshiped the most, not only sentenced the Pantheon but also degenerated into a demon!

During the three years that the Burning Legion was preparing, the Pantheon had summoned Aggramar back and informed him about Sargeras’s situation. They also got him to take over Sargeras’s position as the Champion of the Pantheon.

A few years was like a nap for titans. The situation changed so quickly that when Aggramar heard this news, he was dumbfounded and still couldn’t believe it.

After he recovered from his disbelief, there was endless anger. Aggramar’s worship of Sargeras was fanatical. He regarded him as his life’s role model and thought that he had the noblest quality among all the titans. However, the more fanatical his worship was, the more disappointed he became after knowing that Sargeras had fallen. In the end, this disappointment and anger turned into hatred toward Sargeras!

From this point of view, his personality was really similar to Sargeras’s. They would both go to the other extreme after suffering huge blows…

Therefore, after taking over as the Champion of the Pantheon, Aggramar had been searching for traces of Sargeras all over the universe. He had followed the trail to the Twisting Nether. When the constellar of the planet sent an alarm to the Pantheon, Aggramar received the news and rushed over immediately.

After seeing Sargeras’s colossal demon form, even the usually cold Aggramar couldn’t help being shocked. In his demon form, Sargeras was full of deterrence. The ferocious and terrifying aura and the spreading fel energy around him made Aggramar feel suffocated. But his greatest emotion now was heartache. So as soon as he saw him, he roared at Sargeras, “Lord Sargeras! Why?! Why did you become like this?!”

Sargeras naturally recognized Aggramar. He had wanted to see if he could persuade his former lieutenant to join his plan, but he didn’t expect Aggramar to question him as soon as he came. Sargeras was annoyed.

Sargeras thought, Don’t you, Aggramar, worship me the most? Then why can’t you understand my difficulties? It’s fine if you don’t support me, but now you’re disrespecting your superior and reprimanding me?

Thus, he snorted coldly. “I, Sargeras, can do what I want with my life. Why should I explain it to you?”

Uh, the original meaning of his words was not like this, but Roy understood it this way. In short, Sargeras was currently revealing his domineering attitude and being crazy, cool, and arrogant…

Therefore, it was evident that the communication between Sargeras and Aggramar was naturally not very harmonious. Neither side could convince the other, so they became angry and simply fought.

When two planet-level mega-titans fought, the commotion was naturally tremendous. The raging energy set off violent waves in space, affecting all the nearby planets and causing doomsday-like disasters on their surfaces. Even Roy had to stay away to avoid being affected.

Aggramar was weaker than Sargeras in the first place. And now that Sargeras had fallen and become a demon under the baptism of fel energy, his strength had soared again, so much so that Aggramar only lasted for a moment under Sargeras’s offensive before he became powerless.

Roy, who was watching the battle from the side, could clearly see that Sargeras wasn’t holding back at all against Aggramar, his former subordinate and friend. He attacked with the mentality of killing Aggramar. This was undoubtedly because of Sargeras’s anger toward Aggramar, but the deeper reason was the influence of fel energy.

Not only did fel energy catalyze and distort Sargeras’s image, but it also subtly affected his thinking. Now, he was more easily angered than before he fell, and his behavior became more and more violent. Under the influence of all kinds of negative emotions, he was becoming more and more like a demon. Under such circumstances, how could he go easy on an enemy?

Originally, if nothing unexpected happened, Sargeras could have easily killed Aggramar here. Unfortunately, he was holding the forcibly reforged Gorshalach. This divine artifact sword with its own will only recognized the once noble and pure-minded Sargeras, not the now corrupted and fallen Sargeras. Since it was unwilling to be used by Sargeras, it would naturally find an opportunity to resist. This resulted in, during the final clash in the battle against Aggramar, Sargeras breaking Aggramar’s sword, but Gorshalach itself broke again!

The energy detonated by this attack was so powerful that Aggramar suffered severe injuries. The moment he was knocked away, he subconsciously stretched out his hand and grabbed the broken blade of Gorshalach. Then he was sent flying.

When Gorshalach broke, Sargeras was stunned for a moment. He stared blankly at the sword hilt in his hand. Aggramar, who was sent flying, finally sobered up a little. He realized that he wasn’t Sargeras’s match at all and shouldn’t continue entangling with him.

The Pantheon likely didn’t know that Sargeras had formed a demon army. Aggramar had the responsibility to bring this information back, so he made a prompt decision and turned to run.

And he naturally took away Gorshalach’s broken blade.

When Sargeras returned to his senses, he wanted to chase after him. But the remaining hilt of the sword was buzzing in his hand, seemingly trying to stop him from chasing after Aggramar. Sargeras sighed and stopped chasing, letting Aggramar leave.

Although Sargeras let Aggramar go, the anger in his heart couldn’t be appeased, so he vented on this nameless planet in front of him. He stretched out his huge demon claws and pinched the planet. The atmosphere of the planet ignited under this immense pressure, and endless flames fell from the sky, scorching the ground and burning the ocean.

Then, with the release of Sargeras’s fel energy, the endless flames gradually turned into dark and deep green flames. The inextinguishable fel flames purified this planet.

Seeing that the situation wasn’t good, the demons began to withdraw from the planet in panic, but the natives on this planet could only be incinerated amid screams. The moment the entire planet was ignited, countless souls rose from the surface.

After the greedy demons saw this scene, they began to fight and plunder these souls regardless of the danger, but Sargeras took away the largest portion with a wave of his hand.

Thanks to the agreement with Roy, Sargeras began to collect souls in a planned way. Roy was naturally happy to see this scene. But after putting away these souls, Sargeras glared at Roy and said unhappily, “Osiris! Why didn’t you fight just now? If you had, Aggramar wouldn’t have been able to escape!”

Roy waved his hand. “Lord Sargeras, you think too highly of me. No matter what, Aggramar is a world-soul titan. Even if he’s heavily injured by you, he’s not someone I can make stay behind…”

Sargeras snorted coldly and said nothing more. He was just venting his anger.

Of course, it was impossible for Roy to stop Aggramar. Even if he had the ability, he wouldn’t take action because if his memory was right, the fleeing Aggramar would convince the Pantheon to try to welcome Sargeras back.

Yes, perhaps it was precisely because he allowed Aggramar to escape with serious injuries that Aggramar had some misconceptions. He felt that even though Sargeras had fallen, he still had a trace of rationality and that he still had a noble soul hidden under madness. He felt that the reason why Sargeras betrayed the Pantheon was that his compatriots didn’t understand him, so he hoped that the Pantheon could give him a chance to speak.

In fact, under Aggramar’s persuasion, the Pantheon agreed. They would send a message to Sargeras and invite him to attend a meeting.

Sargeras would indeed go, but no one would have thought that he would flagrantly attack his compatriots during the meeting and directly kill the gods of the Pantheon!

It was precisely because Roy knew about this situation that he allowed Aggramar to leave. He knew very well that the titans of the Pantheon were a very powerful threat to him.

As the Burning Legion gradually grew, it was foreseeable that the direction and range of the attacks would expand. At that time, even if Sargeras went out personally, he would probably not be able to take care of everything. He would definitely order Roy, whom he had appointed as a commander, to lead some of the Burning Legion demons to attack in other directions. Once such a situation happened, it would be bad if the titans of the Pantheon attacked him.

Roy was now at the stage of development. If he encountered a world-soul titan, he would probably be finished. Since he knew that letting Aggramar go would lead to Sargeras slaughtering the Pantheon titans, how could he stop Aggramar from escaping?

Just as Roy was thinking about this, Sargeras spoke again. He frowned as he looked at the hilt of Gorshalach in his hand and said angrily, “The Burning Legion’s first battle is completed, but I can’t fight for the time being. I have to find a way to repair my weapon!”

He waved the remaining hilt of his sword and said disdainfully, “If you don’t want to follow me, then so be it. But it’s not suitable for you to be called Gorshalach anymore. From now on, I will call you… Gorribal (the Dark Seether)!”
