Chapter 410 Choosing a Handmaid for the Goddess, Meeting Sargeras

But how should they bring it up? Queen Azshara glanced at Rhodes, and the two goddesses sitting beside her immediately had an idea.

"Great Lord Rhodes, my former personal maid, Vashj, was extremely skilled at serving people. She was the best maid in the world. I wonder if you could resurrect her?"

"If you were to resurrect my former handmaid, I could have her help assemble a retinue of maids to serve your two goddess wives," Queen Azshara said.

"Oh! How did you know I could resurrect the dead?" Rhodes asked.

Ms. Vashj, to be honest, I was interested in seeing her back then, but I had to go to Karazhan and meet with Azeroth again.

Upon his return, he discovered that this renowned World of Warcraft lady had already been rejected by the Alliance, which left Rhodes slightly disappointed.

"Great Lord Rhodes, your name is very famous in Azeroth. Even I, who live in the underwater world, have heard of your great name. Those foolish mortals seem to have turned you, the true god, into a demigod."

"This is disrespectful to you. After I leave, I will make sure to correct this mistake and let everyone know that you are a noble god," Queen Azshara said.

Upon hearing this, Rhodes nodded.

Well! It seems that the resurrection of the Forsaken, the Death Knights, and even the former Lightbringer Uther has indeed caused a great stir in the world of Azeroth. Even Queen Azshara, who lives in the deep sea, has heard of his name.

However, those adventurers were right. He was indeed a demigod at the time, and even during the attack on Ulduar, he was only infinitely close to a true god. He only truly became a god-level expert after going to the Saint Seiya universe.

"There's nothing to brag about. I'm still a demigod in Azeroth. Don't reveal my true identity. This is something I did intentionally," Rhodes said.

Rhodes had no interest in proclaiming himself a true god in Azeroth; he was the kind of god who studied divine power to become stronger, not one who absorbed the power of faith.

Rhode only needs enough subordinates; too many would be a bad thing. The forces of Undercity, the Blood Elves, and the Beast Pirates are basically no longer useful to him. The only ones he can truly manage are the Saint Seiya warriors he has trained.

Only Kaido, the father-in-law, is still able to withstand attacks and fight!

"I see. Please forgive my foolishness, Lord Rhodes, how dare I presume to guess your thoughts?" Queen Azshara hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.

No wonder Lord Rhodes fell in love with the Moon Goddess; they shared similar interests. The Moon Goddess Elune also greatly enjoyed using her priestess body to travel in the lower realms.

Upon hearing this, Rhodes nodded, then waved his hand, signaling Azshara not to speak, and turned to look at Athena and Pallas.

"So? Do you want a maid to serve you?"

"It would be good to have a maid. Most of the Saint Seiya groups are men, so it's not very convenient," Athena said, stroking her chin.

Seeing that his sister had agreed, Pallas shrugged, indicating that he would listen to his sister in everything.

After consulting the two women, Rhodes nodded, then looked at Azshara kneeling below and spoke.

"I understand your request, Azshara. Do you have anything that Vashj used to use? I need a medium to summon her back," Rhodes said.

Lady Vashj's body has already been disposed of by the League, and now there's probably not even a trace left. The only thing left to do is to use some of her belongings to perform a spirit mediumship.

Fortunately, Rhodes' current strength has completely reached the level of a true god, so he doesn't need flesh and blood or anything like that to communicate with the souls of the dead.

Moreover, even top-tier demigods can be resurrected by Rhodes effortlessly using his divine power.

As for the Shadowlands, heh!

In the past, I was somewhat afraid of the Eternals of the Shadowlands, but now, if you let them come and try, I'd be doing them a favor by not going to the Shadowlands to grind them to dust.

At this moment, Athena, who was sitting to the side, suddenly spoke up.

"Resurrecting a mere mortal is nothing more than a demigod, so there's no need for sacrifices or anything like that."

"Azshara, go back and prepare your people. I'll give you seven days. After seven days, Rhodes and I will lift the curse on your people and resurrect your personal maid, Vashj."

"No sacrifice needed?" Athena seemed to be plotting something. Rhodes didn't interrupt, but nodded to Azshara and said.

"Azshara, go back and prepare! I will open a portal later, and you can bring all your people here. I will restore them to their original form as night elves, including your descendants."

Queen Azshara was overjoyed upon hearing this, as the Naga race now numbered in the millions.

Night elves possess eternal lifespans, even after transforming into Naga. Otherwise, Lady Vashj wouldn't have lived so long and reunited with Illidan.

However, the night elves, who live on the seabed, also reproduce, but their offspring do not have the eternal life of their ancestors.

They gave birth to countless sea monsters, and these low-level Naga were the backbone of their underwater army.

High-ranking Naga are all transformed Night Elves, and they constantly yearn to restore their former glory.

But the Naga that came later, those lower-level Naga, all felt that the appearance of the sea monster was their true form.

Millions of night elves—a number no less than that of the Empire at its peak—and she would once again become the Queen of the Night Elves.

I must find a way to please this god, Lord Rhodes, in case he bestows upon me the power called the Cosmo.

"Thank you for your merciful grace, Lord Rhodes. I will return immediately to gather my people." Queen Azshara knelt before Rhodes once more in gratitude.

Rhodes nodded and opened a permanent portal to the underwater world, then sent Queen Azshara back to summon all the Naga to her palace.

The Little Garden planet is now sparsely populated, and the sanctuary that he, Athena, and Pallas have newly built is enormous enough to house all these Nagas.

"Rhodes! To be honest, your resurrection spell is still a little bit inferior to Hades' resurrection ability. Hades uses the law of death to directly resurrect people out of thin air."

"And this ability of yours requires the consumption of your own divine power, as well as some medium and sacrifices. Only by using this ability to resurrect can you demonstrate the majesty of your divine status," Athena said.

Athena has been fighting Hades, the god of the underworld, for thousands of years. She knows her uncle very well, and his ability to resurrect is a real headache.

During the last Holy War, the special Virgo rosary was created, which sealed the resurrection abilities of the Specters.

When the Specters are resurrected, Hades doesn't even need to exert any effort; simply granting them authority is enough.

"I know Hades' power is immense, but it belongs to the law of death, the law of Hades. We still need to plant the divine tree to obtain its fruit," Rhodes said.

"Don't you have time-acceleration items? We can just plant the fruits of the Divine Tree directly. Besides, there is a Netherworld in this world, or rather, the Netherworld in this world is occupied by a group of beings who are not gods at all."

"Rhodes, this is a very good opportunity. The complete laws of the Underworld are extremely important, and establishing your own Underworld will greatly help improve your strength," Athena said.

"You mean... we should directly seize the Shadow Sword of this world? That would mean we'd be waging a full-scale war against the Eternals!" Rhodes asked.

"Why not? What are you waiting for, Rhodes? This is a great opportunity. I remember you told me about those guys in the Shadowlands, if you take souls from the Shadowlands again."

They might turn against you, so let's completely offend them and make them come after you. Then, as representatives of love and justice, we will fight against these evil Shadow Gods on behalf of justice.

"There are just too many reasons to start a war. The Lich King you defeated before was, to put it bluntly, from the Shadowlands. So why not just start a war with them?" Athena said.

With Rhodes' current strength, plus the gods under his command, and the primordial god Sargeras in this world, why should he be afraid of the Shadow Realm?

Once you obtain the laws of Hades, you will be the true Hades. Why care about what others think?

"Those eternal beings of the Shadowlands aren't gods. Their combat power is only slightly stronger than that of demigods!" Rhodes said, stroking his chin.

These Eternals may look impressive, but their actual combat strength is not strong at all; they are probably only on par with the Titan Guardians!

Let alone myself now, if I just sent a few Saint Seiya warriors over there, they could probably utterly destroy the Shadow Realm.

However, all of this is predicated on successfully cultivating the fruit of death and fully comprehending the laws of Hades.

Azeroth is a troublesome place, and I've dealt with it pretty much. Maybe it's time to go talk to Sargeras.

"In that case, you two stay here and guard the temple. I'll go plant the divine tree now," Rhodes said.

The biggest problem I need now is energy, and Sargeras is the only one who can solve that problem.

However, once I advance to the level of a primordial god and can mobilize the power of the stars in the universe, I will be able to cultivate them myself.

"Go ahead and rest assured, Rhodes. We'll take good care of the house," Athena said.

Rhodes nodded upon hearing this, then tore open a spatial rift and headed towards the Burning Legion's headquarters.

At this moment, Sargeras sat on his throne, studying the chakra power from the Naruto world, because the chakra fruit contained the laws of life.

Given this Titan's aptitude, as long as he has even a slight resemblance to the original, comprehending a completely new power wouldn't be too difficult.

Therefore, during the time Rhodes was away, Sargeras also successfully comprehended the Force of Life.

Now, he is a Titan who controls the principles of life, the Force of Order, and the power of fel energy.

"You've come? Rhodes, you... you give me a very different feeling right now, it even reminds me of when I was facing my own brother. Have you reached the level of a Titan?" Sargeras looked at Rhodes and asked with a look of surprise.

"Well, I haven't reached the Titan level yet, but that only applies to divine power. In terms of combat strength, I'm not inferior to an ordinary Titan," Rhodes said rather tactfully.

Rhodes could destroy a planet with a single casual strike now.

Rhodes's current combat strength is probably on par with Sargeras's, but in terms of life level, he is still far behind Sargeras. Moreover, if the opponent comprehends the power of the cosmos, the difference in their combat strength will be instantly widened.

"What's the explanation for this? His combat power has reached the level of a Titan, but his realm hasn't?" Sargeras asked with some confusion. Rhodes was currently radiating a very powerful aura, but the divine power within him was only at the level of a true god.

"Another world obtained a power called the microcosm, which is like an engine that can generate the power we have comprehended."

For example, the power of order, the power of chaos, the power of life, even the energy of holy light, death, and shadow can be used as fuel, and divine power can also be used as fuel, and then it can be released with several times or even more than ten times the power.

Besides that, this is the power of the microcosm.

"According to that world's terminology, your current level is that of a primordial god. If you were to go to that world and receive some guidance, you should be able to awaken a cosmic power more than ten times stronger than your current one." Rhodes explained the power of the cosmos to Sargeras in detail.

Sargeras has always supported him, so Rhodes will not be stingy with the power of his cosmos. As long as Sargeras is willing, Rhodes will help him awaken.

Even if a being at the level of a primordial god has comprehended ultimate power, he should not be of any interest to a super god. At that time, all we need to do is have Sargeras keep a low profile, awaken the power of his cosmos, and then retreat as soon as possible.

"The world is truly wondrous. There are such powerful beings, gods in the infinite universe. It is indeed a realm I cannot imagine."

Above that is an absolute god. It seems I was just a minor god from a remote and impoverished place before!

"Thanks to you, Rhodes showed me a higher level, a higher world." Sargeras said with emotion after listening to Rhodes's introduction.

The god that Rhodes mentioned had abilities far beyond his imagination, and if he were to awaken his own cosmic power, he could instantly become more than ten times stronger. He couldn't imagine what it would be like if Sargeras became more than ten times stronger!

Those so-called Void Lords, who could rival Titans, devour planets, and destroy worlds, are utterly insignificant before Sargeras, and the same goes for their master, the Void Highlords. (With the new expansion, according to some new authoritative sources, the Void Lords' rank corresponds to that of Titans, and their combat power is roughly equal. So Blizzard has to reread the books; there's no way around it, the Titans' prestige has been steadily declining!)

"The power of the cosmos is indeed very magical. Once you awaken this power, the improvement it brings to yourself will be unimaginable, just like me now," Rhodes said.

"I understand, Rhodes. Then let me help you plant the divine tree. If possible, please give me a fruit that possesses primordial divine power."

"After you become a primordial god, we will travel to the world you spoke of, and then I will awaken the power of my cosmos," Sargeras said.

How could he not see what Rhodes was trying to tell him? That world was extremely dangerous, and it was inhabited by incredibly powerful beings.

Rhodes wanted to further enhance his strength before heading to that world to comprehend ultimate power.

Since that's the case, I might as well wait a while longer. It would be a good opportunity for the two of us to travel to the world called Marvel and bring back that cosmic god.

His own strength can also be improved, and he can help Rhodes plant the fruit of the divine tree. Sargeras wants a fruit of primal divine power, and Rhodes will give it to him.

Rhodes's answer did not disappoint Sargeras.

"No problem! Then this time we'll plant one Primal Divine Power Fruit, plus one fruit with the attribute of death. I estimate we'll need to draw the power of two stars," Rhodes said.

Since we have Mr. Sa's help, let's plant another fruit with primal divine power!

The ten-tailed larvae that I have just nurtured, which possess the power of a primordial god, is just the right size to devour the corpse of the Titan from the God of War world.

"I agree to your plan, Rhodes," Sargeras said, standing up.

"Then let's get started, Sargeras," Rhodes nodded in agreement.

The two immediately set out. Sargeras specifically chose a binary star system, a star system consisting of two blue dwarf stars with abundant energy in the middle.

There are no signs of life on the solid planets and gas planets near the blue dwarf star, and even if these two stars were to go out, it would not have any impact on this area.

"Let's begin, Rhodes. This is a star system I specially chose. These blue stars have the highest energy density, and there are no life-bearing planets around here," Sargeras said.

These stars with their blue glow are the most suitable for planting, possessing abundant energy, and there is no life around them.
