"Hmph!" Azshara did not respond. Shortly, the dark mist of N'Zoth left. N'Zoth has ways to deal with Azshara, but currently, he wouldn't do that. Azshara is indeed not his subordinate; this cooperation is also based on mutual interests, all for the purpose of devouring and corrupting Azeroth.
As for escaping? N'Zoth does not want to escape; the Titans' brutal killing of C'Thun scared him. The most powerful C'Thun was torn apart by Aman'Thul. If it weren't for considering Azeroth, they might not have survived either.
Therefore, N'Zoth would rather stay in prison, remotely causing chaos in the outside world, without taking even the slightest risk. He is the weakest among the five Old Gods, but also the most cunning. As for saving the other Old Gods? Don't be ridiculous; they were competitors, not allies. If they had the chance, they would surely try to devour the others.
The ancient Old Gods were once numerous; why are there only five left now? Don't they have a sense of reality? They were all devoured by their own kind. The five Old Gods balanced each other; if they could be defeated, he might have also been consumed. Even so, one of the Old Gods was consumed and divided, which is also the reason why only four Old Gods were seen after the Titans arrived. The Dream world shattered, and Arthas returned to the real world in the next moment.
"Ding, Old God power has been fully absorbed."
"Old God Power: The embodiment of Void power. You can now see the characters loyal to the Old Gods and can break the whispers and curses of the Old Gods, consuming a certain amount of life essence. The whispers and illusions of the Old Gods do not affect you; when dealing with Void creatures, damage increases by 50%."
Upon seeing this, Arthas' eyes lit up. This is a fantastic power! After gaining Old God power, the reverse reasoning can actually be utilized. Breaking the whispers and curses of the Old Gods is very effective, relying on Eonar is clearly not a long-term strategy. It not only consumes her precious soul power, but also this blessing cannot be easily given. What one can do is the most reliable; relying on others is ultimately not a sustainable solution.
Opening his eyes, Arthas found himself still in the hall, but it seemed like he had something in his mouth, and he subconsciously sucked on it.
"Hmm?" A mature voice came, and a pair of hands pushed against his head. Ysera stood up voluntarily, dressed in her breezy bikini armor. Her beautiful legs were wrapped in soft armor, while her ample bosom was covered by thick armor, leaving no cleavage visible. Only her abdomen with muscles was exposed, and her delicate collarbones were bare, creating a very cool appearance.
"Arthas, I am very thankful that you cleared the nightmare. I feel that the Emerald Dream is unprecedentedly good. Now, I grant you access to the Emerald Dream, and welcome you to visit it." Ysera extended her long, elegant fingers, lightly tapping the air; her sexy fingers, painted with green nail polish, caught attention and were slightly alluring.
A luminous mass entered Arthas' body, and he also saw a task prompt.
"Emerald Dream Pass: You can now enter the Emerald Dream and return to Azeroth from any location."
"Your reputation with the Green Dragonflight is Honored."
The Emerald Dream can be said to be the afterlife for demigods, filled with vitality and serving as Azeroth's growth template. If Azeroth is to be cleared out, then future development should resemble this. After a demigod dies, their soul enters the Emerald Dream to rest, waiting for enough power of faith to resurrect again.
There is no need to enter the Shadowlands; the Emerald Dream can be seen as a separate, specific death realm. Entering from the outer world to the inner world, and then exiting from the inner world, will bring one back to the corresponding location. However, due to the cataclysm Azeroth has experienced, entering it is not an easy task. One might end up plunging into magma, which is very dangerous, but it is indeed convenient.
"I will have Emeriss assist you; she has already set off for Lordaeron. Thank you, and you can request her help with anything in the future. We also welcome you to assist us in dealing with evil in the Dream." Ysera's expression remained normal, her voice calm, and her half-closed eyes showed no complex emotions.
Generally, women would have a huge emotional fluctuation if a man had seen their body and was touching and sucking. However, Ysera did not; instead, she remained very calm; this was nothing major for her.
Dignity? What is the use of dignity! It's just an excuse for wrongdoing; strength is eternal. If Arthas can help her regain power, then she tolerates or even allows these small issues. When Arthas can no longer bring her benefits, then his situation may not be so good.
"Congratulations, Ysera was never that generous before. Arthas, I will send Keristrasza to help you; she is my daughter, and I hope you can get along well with her," the Dragon Queen said with a smile, even making a small joke to lighten the mood. She has many offspring; a queen who has lived for thousands of years without offspring would be abnormal. (TN:Unsure if that's the actual name)
"Thank you very much, both of you. I'm a bit tired; I will go back to rest now." After accepting the reward, Arthas left. He did not want to stay here any longer.
There was a power gap between the two sides, and since this was not a dream realm, he could not frivolously tease others. After Arthas hurriedly left, Ysera, who had been silent for a long time, hummed lightly, and a brilliant smile crept across her lips, "Has thoughts but doesn't have the courage!"
If Arthas had heard this, he would definitely be speechless; he indeed had thoughts without courage. Even if he did want to do something, it would be impossible without the woman's consent. Unexpectedly, Ysera saw through him directly; she had experienced more than he had walked through, so how could she not see through him?
Alexstrasza covered her mouth and giggled, "Didn't you see? When we're not wearing clothes, he's staring so much that his eyes could pop out! Hehe!"
Clearly, teasing a young man was still a delightful experience for them. The two discussed some issues, all related to problems they had encountered.
It was all connected to the Old Gods, and the Red Dragons had many challenges to face. Since Medivh's death, creatures from outside had been coming through the rifts into Azeroth; some posed quite significant threats and needed to be dealt with. In short, there were many tasks; the dragons were not all idle.
