Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

“The great demigod has only my four advisors, the chief astrologer, and a small number of high-ranking personnel,” Kael'thas said.

There weren't even any demons within his own Stormhold, and very few knew that he had sided with the Burning Legion.

"Very well! Then we will modify the memories of your subordinates, changing them to show that you endured humiliation and hardship."

He feigned acceptance of the Burning Legion's offer of surrender, but in reality, he was gathering intelligence for Azeroth.

And you have made a breakthrough; Illidan intends to use the waters of the Well of Eternity.

"Kil'jaeden has been summoned to the Black Temple; we must stop Illidan's evil plans," Rhodes said.

“Very well, very well! Great demigod, we, we must stop the evil Illidan,” Kael'thas said.

“Keep this pig-headed look of yours; you can use it to gain sympathy when we go out later,” Rhodes said.

My Lord Demigod, you have considered everything so thoroughly.

After discussing the specific plan, the group began to act, and Kael'thas brought along a group of his trusted followers who knew he had sided with the Burning Legion.

Then Brin erases their memories one by one and implants fake memories.

Chapter 161 Rhodes' Fel Artifact, Hades

After altering the memories of all the blood elves under Kael'thas who knew he had sided with the Burning Legion.

Rhodes then reappeared in the floating city with Kael'thas.

"Lord Rhodes! This, this is..." A blood elf accompanying him didn't recognize Kael'thas at first glance after seeing him beaten so badly.

But upon seeing the crimson robe the other person was wearing, and the three magic orbs floating beside him, the blood elf mage's expression immediately turned strange.

"No! Really? You! You are... a prince?" the blood elf mage asked, somewhat doubtful.

"It is I! Kael'thas, the Sunstrider, prince of the Blood Elves." It's truly embarrassing to be seen like this! But there's nothing I can do; it's a demigod's request.

At this moment, Liadrin slowly woke up. She only remembered that after His Highness the Prince admitted to siding with the Burning Legion, Rhodes patted her on the shoulder and then she fell into a deep sleep.

She has no recollection or knowledge of what happened after that.

"Lord Rhodes, what happened? You, you? Your Highness?" Looking at the man in front of her whose head had been beaten into a pig's head, Liadrin asked with suspicion.

"It's me, Countess Liadrin. It's been a long time."

"You, how could you let this go? Let me heal you!" Liadrin said, a soft holy light shining from her hand as she began to heal Prince Kael'thas's injuries.

Under the soft holy light, Kael'thas's face gradually began to return to normal. His broken nose and sunken eye sockets were gone. Soon, the blood elf prince regained his once incredibly handsome appearance.

Although she was very upset to learn that His Highness had sided with the Burning Legion, seeing him being beaten so badly stirred up a ripple in her heart.

This prince had been working tirelessly to find a way out for the blood elves, and he was deeply loved before he learned of this news.

“Well, there was a little mishap. I thought this prince had already sided with the Burning Legion, so I gave him a good beating, but things turned out to be a little misunderstanding,” Rhodes said.

"A misunderstanding? Lord Rhodes, could you please clear this up for us?" Liadrin asked.

This time, she received orders from the Regent to investigate the Prince's situation and confirm whether he had defected to the Burning Legion. If this was true, then the elite blood elf forces would soon come to attack.

"Here's what happened. Kael'thas, for some reason, infiltrated Illidan's inner circle. In order to make Kael'thas obey his orders, Illidan bewitched many blood elves and trained them to become demon hunters, turning them into demonic creatures like himself."

They also detained a large number of blood elf soldiers in the Black Temple in Outland as hostages to threaten Prince Kael'thas.

Left with no other choice, Kael'thas could only feign agreement to cooperate with Illidan and Kil'jaeden in using fel magic.

We have now confirmed that Illidan wanted to use several bottles of water from the Well of Eternity.

Recreate a Sunwell-like device in the Black Temple, then summon Kil'jaeden, commander of the Burning Legion, to Outland.

Then we will enter our world through the Dark Portal.

"So that's how it is. So the messengers we sent to contact you, Your Highness, never even came to your side, did they?" Liadrin asked.

“That’s right, they were all killed by demons sent by Illidan and Kil’jaeden, all to make this prince serve them wholeheartedly,” Rhodes said.

"This is outrageous! His Highness Prince Illidan trusted him so much, yet he betrayed us."

He has the water of the Well of Eternity, and could have long ago solved the problem of the Sunwell.

"How many of our compatriots have been turned into heartless beings in recent years? Our blood elves have suffered so much hardship and torment! That despicable Illidan!" Liadrin said angrily.

The waters of the Well of Eternity can completely restore the Sunwell, because the original Sunwell was created using a bottle of water from the Well of Eternity left behind by Illidan.

The Blood Elves have helped Illidan so much over the years, and all we want is a bottle of spring water.

If you are willing to give it to us, then the Blood Elf race will regard you as a great benefactor and continue to help you.

But you deceived us and even took our people hostage.

"Your Highness, so your ultimate goal is to defeat Illidan and obtain the water from the Well of Eternity from him, thereby completely healing the Sunwell, is that right?"

“That’s right! That’s exactly what I planned. I came to Netherstorm only to extract the Nether energy here and send it back to Silvermoon City to help my people alleviate their mana addiction,” Kael’thas said.

The blood elf mages and Liadrin all nodded in agreement with this statement.

The prince sent these void energy lattices back to Silvermoon City as soon as they were extracted, but contact with them has been lost for the past few months.

"Lord Rhodes, what is the situation of our brethren from Stormhold?" Liadrin asked.

"Don't worry, none of the blood elves inside died. I used my special power to put them all to sleep."

"If it weren't for some misunderstanding, your prince wouldn't have been beaten like that by me. I would have really thought he had sided with the Burning Legion!" Rhodes said.

"But what about the fel infection they have?"

“This is easy to solve. They have only practiced some fel magic. As long as they are willing to practice the path of warlocks, they can suppress the fel energy in their bodies,” Rhodes said.

These blood elves weren't deeply corrupted by fel energy; they hadn't undergone the complete transformation of the fel orcs. They had only learned some fel magic. I could save even more severely corrupted fel orcs, let alone this group.

When a large number of Blood Essence members infected with fel energy go to the pirate world to adapt to the power of fel energy, there's no reason why they wouldn't help me attack the World Government, right?

"Alright, the most urgent thing now is to quickly enter Stormhold and gather all the blood elf members together, and then we will take over the fortress."

"Actually, only a portion of my followers have embraced fel energy; the majority of blood elves still wield arcane magic," Kael'thas said.

This Storm Fortress was actually modified by the Blood Elves with some magic; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to extract Void Energy Crystals on such a large scale.

Therefore, it is necessary for some arcane mages to exist. For example, the chief archmage Solarian, and a large number of blood elf mages have not accepted the power of fel energy and still practice magic normally.

Everyone nodded and immediately began to take over the entire Stormhold. After Kael'thas's forces joined forces with those in the Blood Elf floating fortress, they had grown to nearly ten thousand men.

After confirming the prince's news, Liadrin immediately sent a letter to Lor'themar, confirming that the prince had not betrayed his people.

He has been trying to save his people, and now their goal is to take the water of the Well of Eternity from the demon Illidan.

Over the next few days, the entire blood elf race gathered together.

Kael'thas also began helping Rhodes create fel artifacts, and incidentally, he offered Rhodes all the fel spells that Kil'jaeden had taught him.

"Lord Rhodes, I have enchanted and modified this skull with enchantments. It contains powerful fel energy and is a perfect spellcasting tool."

"Now you can embed it into your weapon. This time I'm confident I can create a divine artifact." Kael'thas handed the modified skull to Rhodes and said.

Now, Azodon's skull has been completely transformed, even its size has changed, and fel fire burns in the hollows of both eyes.

The skull was also engraved with various magical runes, and Kael'thas even used some kind of magic to shrink the skull so that it could be embedded in Rhodes' mace.

Rhodes nodded, took out his spiked club, and then Kael'thas performed various enchantments, successfully combining the two weapons into one.

"Alright, Lord Rhodes, your artifact is complete. This fel artifact is incredibly powerful, and it can be used for both melee combat and spellcasting," Kael'thas said.

The materials used in this weapon are excellent. First of all, the weapon part uses Titan Iron and Legion's Fel Iron and Felsteel, which are inherently very good at transmitting Fel energy.

In addition to the skull of this powerful demon lord, and the enchantment by him, the most top enchanting glyph master in the world of Azeroth, this weapon was directly upgraded to the level of an artifact.

Speaking of the glyphs and enchantments on this weapon, it reminded him of someone—a human girl who had studied enchanting with him for a while.

After picking up the new weapon, Rhodes nodded with great satisfaction. After the Blood Elf Prince's modifications, the weapon's transmission of fel energy was much stronger, and it had been upgraded to the level of a warlock artifact. However, Rhodes still wanted to make it even stronger.

Rhode took out the demon soul energy he had previously extracted and poured it into the artifact, adding some of his own soul energy as the main component.

The chaotic energy of crimson and dark green demonic souls was infused into this weapon; this demonic soul energy was undoubtedly what this warlock artifact needed most.

With the infusion of a large amount of soul power, the weapon slowly began to undergo a transformation until it reached its limit, at which point Rhode stopped pouring in soul energy.

"Lord Rhodes, what are you doing? This soul energy... is this demonic soul energy?" Kael'thas asked.

“That’s right! I have the power to manipulate souls. When I came here before, I slaughtered a large number of Legion Demons.”

"The chaotic soul energy of these demons can be infused into this weapon; I will give it life," Rhodes said.

The reason I hadn't turned my weapon into a Homiz before was because I hadn't completely modified Azoton's skull, but that's done now.

"Hehehe! Great master, thank you for your blessing, thank you for giving me life." The skull on Azodon's skull spoke as its eyes lit up with fel fire.

This weapon was modified by Rhodes and became a powerful Homite creature, much like Big Mom's Emperor Sword Napoleon.

Azoton's soul is still in his own hands! I wonder what he would think if he saw his own skull suddenly talk?

“You are a fel artifact, so I’ll give you a name! You will be called Hades, meaning to bring death and destruction to your enemies,” Rhodes said.

“Thank you, Master. My name is Hades, and I will bring death and destruction to all your enemies!” Hades said.

"Hahaha! Tell me, what special abilities do you have?" Rhodes asked.

“Great master, I have inherited the knowledge of fel magic and various fel spells from this skull, so if you use me to cast spells…”

Fel magic can be multiplied in power and consume less fel energy.

"Even while you're fighting someone else, I can independently unleash fel magic to attack the enemy," Hades said.

"Hmm! Not bad, not bad, your ability is quite good." Rhodes nodded with great satisfaction.

The power of this fel artifact far exceeds my imagination! It can even stand alone as a warlock to cast spells.

"Hahaha! I have a companion, Master. Hello brother, my name is Helios." Helios, the Fel Flame Homie, also ran out at this moment.

"Hello, my brother. Please take care of me in the future. My name is Hades."

The two Homitz creations of Rhodes flew together in the sky and began to communicate.

"This is truly amazing technology, it's perfect! Demigod Rhodes, may I ask what the underlying principle is?" Kael'thas's eyes shone as he looked at the fel artifact that Rhodes had modified.

To actually bring a weapon to life is simply astonishing! And this weapon is a divine artifact.

"Hahaha! I guess you could call it a special ability I possess! If you have a suitable weapon, I can also modify it for you, but it will require consuming some of your lifespan, which is your soul energy. Otherwise, this weapon won't obey you," Rhodes said.

Of course, the highest authority is with me, after all, I am the owner of the Soul-Soul Fruit.
