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

After exchanging a few words with Kaido, he was allowed to join the Beasts Pirates, and then he got to know the high-ranking members of the Beasts Pirates.

I don't know why, but I always feel a bit sore. Could it be that I'm tired from traveling all day?

"Drake, from now on, you are a true fighter in our Beasts Pirates. You've only just joined, so we can't give you too high a rank. Starting today, you'll be working with one of the three great commanders, King. Jack, take this new crewmate over and introduce him to King," Kaido said.

"Thank you, Boss Kaido," Drake said.

"Come with me, Drake, I'll take you to see Brother Jhin!" Jack, who was over eight meters tall, came up to Drake and said expressionlessly.

Drake nodded, got up, and followed Jack away.

"You guys better watch yourselves, be careful not to let him notice anything unusual," Kaido said.

"Don't worry, boss, we understand. Don't forget I used to be a World Government agent; hiding is one of my specialties." — Who's Who

The other members of the Sky Six nodded in agreement. They certainly wouldn't have much contact with such an undercover agent under normal circumstances.

After finishing everything, Rhodes took Sylvanas and Brin back to his residence, and then had the flying carpet make a few more trips to move Brin's dessert shop over.

The next few days passed peacefully, and Rhodes continued with his usual routine: learning fel magic from his teacher, sparring with Queen Yamato, and training his stamina in the evenings.

Brin expressed her desire to join the endurance training program, but Rod refused because she was too young. What a joke, the little girl is only fourteen!

Time passed slowly like this.

"Lord Rhodes, this is a heart-shaped dark chocolate cake I made. Please try it! What do you think of the taste?" Pudding's eyes sparkled as she brought a plate of her freshly baked cake to Rhodes and said.

"Mmm! It tastes good! You did a great job," Rod said with a smile.

This girl has a pretty good talent for making cakes.

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Rhodes!" said Brin.

First, I need to win over Lord Rhodes' stomach.

Damn it! Lord Rhodes actually thinks she's too young and won't let her join their adult games.

Around noon that day, Retson arrived at Rhodes' place and brought him some good news.

“Rhodes, the Dark Portal is complete,” Retson said.

It involved tens of thousands of laborers, as well as those gigantic tyrants.

Everyone worked overtime, operating 24 hours a day, and finally the Dark Portal was completed on schedule.

Now all that's left is for Rhodes to travel to Azeroth, and for both sides to open the Dark Portal together.

The Forsaken and the old Horde should have already set up the portal to Azeroth.

Chapter 105 The Power of Space, Returning to Azeroth

For the past month, Retson has been extremely busy. In the mornings, he is in charge of teaching Rhodes fel magic, and at noon, in the afternoons, and in the evenings, he also needs to take time to come and supervise the construction of the Dark Portal.

This Dark Portal cannot be taken lightly; if even one magical rune is incorrect, it might prevent the connection between the two worlds from being established.

Although his disciples were in charge of the main spatial coordinates, he was still very serious about inscribing the magical runes, and finally successfully completed the magnificent building in a month.

"It's finally finished! Thank you so much, mentor. Without you, this Dark Portal probably wouldn't have been built," Rhodes said to his mentor, the orc Treson.

“No need to be so polite, young apprentice, you’ve been a great help. At least you helped me solve my physical problems, improved my strength, and freed me from the corruption of fel energy,” Retson said, waving his hand.

His apprentice had helped him a lot, especially in resolving the warlock's own fel energy problem.

It's important to know that fel magic is incredibly powerful and can be learned quickly. If it weren't for its terrifying side effects, everyone would want to learn this kind of magic.

The more powerful a warlock is, the more severely he will be corrupted by fel energy. Some warlocks are even corrupted into demons, and such things do happen.

But ever since he ate that thing called the Devil Fruit, all his problems have been solved. Unless he receives a large infusion of evil energy, the evil energy in his body simply increases naturally with cultivation and has basically no effect on his body.

His Devil Fruit ability will also be developed, and Ragnaros's power will also allow him to control the power of fire. Now that the three powers are combined, his strength has become even greater than before.

Moreover, unlike mages in the world of Azeroth, they need to communicate with the magic network and perform complicated arcane analysis before they can cast spells when manipulating magical power and casting fire magic.

But the power of Ragnaros that he controlled was just like his own original power; he could release it as easily as waving his arm.

It's a pity! This kind of Devil Fruit is extremely rare, and only Zoan-type Devil Fruits are useful. Otherwise, all the warlocks in Azeroth could enjoy this blessing.

"Mentor! Please get some rest tonight! I'll be setting off for Azeroth tomorrow. Before I leave, I'll leave spatial coordinates for the Dark Portal."

"Then I'll leave you with enough energy, and we'll agree on a time three days later to open the Dark Gate together," Rhodes said.

Opening the Dark Portal is no simple task; a top-tier spellcaster is required to preside over the ceremony. I can preside over the opening ceremony in Azeroth myself.

As for the pirate world, the only person capable of presiding over the ceremony is his mentor, Retson.

Today I need to report this news to Kaido, and then we'll prepare for the opening ceremony.

“As long as you provide enough spatial energy and our coordinates can be aligned, then opening the door will not be a problem,” Treson said.

"Okay! Don't worry! We shouldn't delay, let's go take a look now," Rhodes said.

Treson nodded, and the two headed together toward the site where the Dark Portal was being built.

The Dark Gate was built on the outskirts of Onigashima in Wano Country, which is the core area of ​​the Beasts Pirates.

Led by Retson, the two arrived at the newly built Dark Gate, a colossal gate twenty meters wide and over forty meters high, carved with intricate magical runes. On either side of the stone gate stood two enormous statues.

"This Dark Gate is no smaller than the one originally built by the old tribe; in fact, it's even a bit bigger."

The only difficulty now is the spatial energy required to open the portal. Back then, Gul'dan consumed the lives of 100,000 draenei slaves when he opened the Dark Portal. "Retson said.

Looking at the enormous dark gate before him, he recalled the days of the old Horde, when the orcs were influenced by the blood of demons.

They even started killing each other in the end. If it weren't for Gul'dan and the astral mage Medivh joining forces to open the Dark Portal, who knows what would have become of the orcs.

“The energy is more than enough, here you go, mentor!” Rhode took out two magic crystals containing the energy of the Space Stone and handed them to his mentor.

I currently have five magical energy crystals, which store a vast amount of spatial energy. The world of Azeroth uses two energy stones to provide energy, and two should be enough for here as well.

Of the remaining portion, one-third of the energy has already been used up, and the remaining two-thirds should be enough for a while to sustain me until my next trip to the Marvel universe.

After receiving the magic crystal from Rhodes, Retson carefully sensed its immense spatial energy and was utterly astonished.

“Pure spatial energy. If it’s spatial energy of this level, I think one energy crystal would be enough,” Retson said.

If the old tribe had possessed this magical energy crystal back then, it would have contained spatial energy.

That would be enough to open the Dark Portal, without even requiring the Draenei to make sacrifices.

The Dark Portal is not just a simple portal; it is a top-tier spatial portal inherited from the Dark Titan Sargeras.

This portal is somewhat difficult to open, but once the gate connecting the two worlds is successfully opened...

Therefore, as long as the two gates are not destroyed, only a small amount of spatial energy is needed to maintain the gates.

Moreover, even if the Dark Portal is closed, it can be reopened.

“I need to make sure everything goes perfectly, so let’s use two!” Rod said.

This time we must go all out. Speaking of which, Medivh, the astral mage, was incredibly powerful back then.

Gul'dan needs the lives of so many Draenei slaves to power a portal.

But in the world of Azeroth, Medivh opened the portal single-handedly—what immense magical power that is! The power of the Guardians is truly something to aspire to.

The only one currently connected to the Guardians is Maddina, a female mage who has the potential to become one of the top mages in Azeroth.

The energy of some of the Guardians of Aegwynn played a crucial role. (In the novel *The Wheel of Hatred*, Jaina received a portion of the Guardian mage energy from Aegwynn.)

“Next is the issue of coordinates, Rhodes. You need to mark your spatial energy coordinates on it. Your own spatial energy coordinates are the key points connecting the two worlds,” the old orc said.

The Dark Portal is merely a prop; what truly connects the two worlds is Rhode, and it is Rhode's power to traverse between them.

This power must be infused into the Dark Gate to connect the two worlds.

“I understand, mentor.” Rhodes nodded and stepped forward, placing his palm on the Dark Portal.

Then he poured the spatial power within his body, the spatial power that could traverse the world, into it.

The true source is the spatial power within his own body that allows him to traverse worlds. This power is even greater than the Space Stone. Rhode discovered something amazing in the Marvel universe.

It's possible that he was baptized by spatial energy during his time travel, which gave him the power to traverse worlds.

This results in a very high affinity between oneself and the Space Stone, allowing one to freely manipulate the spatial energy within it.

What a pity! It would be great if we could access the power of the Space Stone anytime, anywhere, but this thing can only be used in the Marvel multiverse.

Soon, Rhodes completed the location of his spatial energy. Now, as long as he completes the location in the world of Azeroth, he can begin to open the Dark Portal.

“The opening of the Dark Gate will attract the attention of many powerful beings. Rhodes, you must be prepared. I must remind you of this once again,” Retson said.

“Mentor, the world of Azeroth will soon undergo a tremendous change, which will completely cover up the problem of me opening the Dark Portal. You just need to wait,” Rhodes said.

With this sliver of spatial energy, he could use it to contact Retson, and the two of them could work together to open the Dark Gate.

When Kazzak, the Fel Lord of Azeroth, opens the portal, it will definitely cause violent spatial fluctuations. Once we sense it, we will immediately begin to oversee the opening of the Dark Portal.

“I understand, Rhodes. I will be staying here for the next period of time. If you need any help in Azeroth, you can ask the Horde for assistance. Warchief Thrall will not stand idly by,” Treson said.

“If necessary, I will ask High Chieftain Thrall for help,” Rhodes said.

To be honest, at the beginning, Rod originally wanted to cooperate with the league, but the league had too many problems.

Humans rule the world, dwarves and gnomes, and night elves have little interest in exploring new worlds.

Moreover, Stormwind is currently controlled by a black dragon princess, and even if King Varian returns in the future, Rhodes has no intention of cooperating with him.

Human monarchs often prefer to control everything, but Rhode will not accept being controlled by others. This means that there is no possibility of cooperation between Rhode and the Alliance, even though he is human.

On the contrary! After Thrall steps down as Warchief of the Horde in the future, Garrosh! I can have some fun with you.

At that time, the entire tribe will have to serve me, whether it is a new tribe or an old tribe.

He intends to support Sylvanas in ascending to the position of Warchief of the Horde in the future.

They could even recruit a few more races from other worlds into the tribe, such as Kaido's pirate crew, so that humans from the pirate world could join the tribe.

I believe that Warchief Thrall will not refuse this benefit.

After exchanging a few more words with his mentor, Rhodes got up and returned to his residence. He then called Kaido over and told him that the Dark Gate had been completed.

"It's finally finished. This time, I'm going to take all my men there to learn the rage and wild power of that world," Kaido said.

The laws of the worlds are different, which means that it is necessary to go to the world of Azeroth in order to allow your subordinates to cultivate that magical power.

"Don't worry, Father-in-law. Once we arrive in Azeroth, leave everything to me. I will have a master come and teach you, and I hope your Beast Pirates will join Thrall's Horde," Rhodes said.
