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

Gul'dan, once the most powerful orc warlock of the old Horde, was bound by a strange magic that made him the source of energy for the Dark Portal.

Rhodes was struck by the sight of Gul'dan before him. After being resurrected in his own world, Gul'dan served Rhodes, but after doing a few tasks, Rhodes essentially left him to his own devices.

"Your method is too troublesome. Watch me." Rhodes smiled slightly and floated directly in the sky. His primordial god-level cosmos emanated, forming a terrifying pressure.

This oppressive aura was mixed with the aura of a god, the power of the cosmos, and even the Conqueror's Haki from the One Piece world.

In an instant, the once fierce Iron Tribe warriors were struck as if by something, and immediately fell unconscious and collapsed to the ground.

Let alone ordinary mortals, even demigods cannot stand in front of Rhodes. True gods cannot even guarantee that they can stand in front of Rhodes.

The warriors of the Steel Tribe, as a whole, are only at the level of ordinary people in terms of combat strength, and are no match for Rhodes.

Even the leaders of the Iron Horde, the Seven Heroes of Draenor, including the most powerful Grommash Hellscream, were only comparable to demigods in terms of combat strength.

In the blink of an eye, Rhodes had taken care of the Iron Horde, so fast that many members of the Alliance and Horde didn't even have time to react.

They had barely raised their weapons and assumed an offensive stance when Rhodes had already taken care of it.

"My God! Is this...is this the power of a true god?" Khadgar exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief.

Good heavens! This is terrifying! In just an instant, tens of thousands of orcs from the entire Iron Tribe fell to the ground.

Even besides the orcs of the Iron Tribe, some of the pigeon coops they captured to do hard labor, and other enslaved races were instantly knocked unconscious, completely killed in an instant.

"Alright, everyone, stop standing there! Now, quickly destroy the Dark Portal! If this Dark Portal exists, the Iron Horde can continue to attack our world!" Khadgar was the first to react, shouting as he spoke.

After Khadgar regained consciousness, many members of the Alliance and Horde began to take action under Thrall's leadership.

The soldiers of the Alliance and the Horde quickly located several weapons belonging to the Iron Horde, then aimed their massive Iron Hearts at the Dark Portal. With a deafening roar, the Dark Portal was instantly blasted apart.

Boom! Boom! The massive dark gate was torn open and then collapsed with a crash.

"This is really easy. I didn't expect this mission to be so easy. We're going to destroy the Dark Portal and save the world." A tauren warrior from a tribe said.

"It's not that simple. We must ensure that the Dark Portal is not rebuilt."

"You know, the old Horde knows the specific construction method of the Dark Portal. If they build another Dark Portal, they can continue to invade our world," Khadgar said.

If it were as simple as destroying the Dark Portal, this would be easy. The purpose of their expedition is to completely crush the Draenor orcs' resistance and ensure that the world of Azeroth is not threatened by them.

"What do we do now? The Iron Horde seems to have lost all resistance. This is a good opportunity," a human warrior said.

Humans and orcs have a blood feud. Although the Alliance and Horde are joining forces to attack Draenor this time, humans are more than happy to take advantage of the orcs' misfortune.

"I think we should take this opportunity to kill all the high-ranking leaders of the Iron Horde. That way, the Iron Horde will be leaderless," a blood elf mage said.

"No, no, no, guys, what we should be doing right now is capturing Gul'dan first, and then eliminating all the Shadow Council members in this world."

"Make sure there are no warlocks from the old tribes left. Without them, they can no longer create the Dark Portal, and we can ensure the safety of our world, absolute safety," a gnome warlock said.

At the same time, he looked at Gul'dan, who was lying to the side, his life hanging in the balance. The true god named Rhodes had just unleashed an extremely terrifying attack, and almost all the members of the Iron Horde had fallen. Even this former first warlock of the Horde could not withstand it and immediately fell unconscious.

"I agree! Completely annihilating the Steel Tribe is unrealistic; killing their commander will only perpetuate this hatred."

"Our job is to eliminate Gul'dan and all his Shadow Council members, and ensure that the Dark Portal is never reopened," Thrall said.

Other members of the tribes, especially the orcs, nodded.

Although the orcs are called the new tribe, they still have some connection with the old tribe. In fact, many orc warriors in the Iron Horde are related to them as fathers.

This damn parallel world—sometimes they can even see their fathers or mothers when they were younger.

"Then it's settled. Let's deal with Gul'dan first." An orc warrior roared, raising his great axe and chopping at Gul'dan, who lay lying to the side.

However, Rhodes blocked this attack.

"This is my spoils of war. You go and deal with the other Shadow Council warlocks!" Rhodes said, then put Gul'dan away.

In fact, Rhodes has always been curious about one thing: in the later stages of the Warlords of Draenor expansion, the final boss that players face is Archimonde, the commander of the Burning Legion, but this Archimonde is not the Archimonde from a parallel universe.

It's actually Archimonde, whom players defeated in the Battle of Mount Hyjal, which is quite strange.

If this is Archimonde from the Battle of Mount Hyjal, then a very strange question arises.

The Burning Legion is the same force facing all the worlds of Azeroth. Is invading so many worlds of Azeroth really useful?

How many Burning Legions are there in the Warcraft universe? Rhodes was very curious about this.

"Then, Lord Rhodes, Gul'dan will be in your care for now. We'll go deal with the other shadow warlocks," Khadgar said.

Who does this guy want? They can't stop him, after all, he can wipe everyone out in one hit.

"Let's establish a base first! As we agreed before, the Alliance will head to Shadowmoon Valley to seek help from the Draenei."

"As for the members of the tribe, we'll head to Frostfire Ridge first to seek help from the Frostwolf Clan. As far as I know, the Frostwolf Clan shouldn't be joining the Iron Horde," Thrall said.

Next, the group raided a prisoner's location and rescued some Draenei and Orc prisoners.

Because the entire Iron Horde was defeated by Rhodes in one move, the group's plan proceeded very smoothly, without even a single casualty.

Soon, more than one hundred Alliance warriors and more than one hundred Horde warriors arrived separately and headed to their respective agreed locations.

Khadgar was quite busy, as he had to travel to two locations to open a portal connecting Stormwind and Orgrimmar, summoning reinforcements from the Horde and Alliance.

Rhodes didn't get involved in these trivial matters and simply teleported to a relatively secluded place.

Then he activated his spatial abilities and began to connect with the Burning Legion belonging to this world.

The result was very smooth, and Rhodes successfully connected to the Burning Legion.

"Commander Rhodes, is there anything you need to tell us?" Upon discovering that the connector was Rhodes, the senior member of the Burning Legion on the other side immediately bowed and spoke.

Rhodes' current position is nominally the third commander of the Burning Legion, but everyone knows that Rhodes' current combat power far surpasses Archimonde and Kil'jaeden, and has even reached the point of being on par with Sargeras.

"I have something to discuss with Kil'jaeden," Rhodes said.

The high-ranking demon of the Burning Legion on the other end nodded and left immediately. Soon, a huge red demon appeared in front of Rhodes.

"Lord Rhodes, how did you end up in another world? It seems to be another timeline! Is there anything I can help you with?" Kil'jaeden asked.

"I want to know if the Gul'dan of this world had the same experiences as the Gul'dan of my world? Was it you who taught him warlock magic?" Rhodes asked.

"That's right. Gul'dan in this world is also a warlock spell I taught him. I discovered this world by chance a few years ago. This is just a hidden move," Kil'jaeden said.

"Due to some unexpected events, a group of Horde and Alliance members from another world came to my timeline. I thought I had discovered a parallel world!" Rhodes said.

Well, who knows how many Gul'dans Kil'jaeden actually created across timelines (the timelines in Azeroth are incredibly strange; all the Burning Legions are the same, but their experiences are all different. There's the old charlatan Velen from parallel universes, but there's no second Kil'jaeden or Archimonde).

"Lord Rhodes, I haven't been in contact with Gul'dan for a long time since the Legion's plans changed."

"After all, the Legion's primary mission right now is to deal with the Dark Void, or to fight for you," Kil'jaeden said.

During this period, Sargeras also intentionally or unintentionally revealed some things to Archimonde and Kil'jaeden: Sargeras planned to give the entire Burning Legion directly to Rhodes.

So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Rhodes is very likely to become the new leader of the Burning Legion.

Lord Sargeras went out with Rhodes last time and brought back an incredibly powerful creature, whose combat strength was in no way inferior to that of an ordinary Titan, and which only obeyed Sargeras's orders.

Sargeras is now completely absorbed in researching the new power, and he no longer cares much about the Legion's affairs.

"I understand. From now on, you don't need to interfere with other timelines. Just stay in the main world." Rhodes nodded and said.

Azeroth is about to be born on my timeline, so my timeline is the main world. As for the other future timelines, they will all become secondary timelines after the birth of Azeroth.

It is no longer possible for a powerful Titan to be born on those planets, because although the Warcraft universe has the concept of a multiverse, the Titans are unique.

"I understand, Lord Rhodes. Is there anything else you wish to instruct me to do?" Kil'jaeden asked.

"I want to find out if there's a mastermind behind this. You have a demon legion ready, and I'll summon you whenever needed," Rhodes said.

Kil'jaeden nodded upon hearing this, and then Rhodes gave him a few more instructions before cutting off contact.

It is now confirmed that, across all parallel timelines in the world of Azeroth, there is only one Burning Legion. (The Glass family's setting is truly absurd; each editor has a different setting—it's disgusting.)

For the next month, the Alliance and the Horde were busy dealing with the Iron Horde, while Rhodes was busy investigating the mastermind behind it all.

However, Rhodes gained nothing for a whole month, during which time the world of Draenor was completely overrun by the Alliance and the Horde.

Because Gul'dan was captured, the Burning Legion would not intervene in this world, and the Iron Horde was simply unable to withstand the combined attack of the Alliance and the Horde.

In addition, some native inhabitants of this world were turned against the Horde, and some orc tribes broke away from the Iron Horde. The Draenei and Arakkoa also joined the alliance. First, Garrosh died at Thrall's hands, and then Garrosh was quickly defeated.

This time, however, Gul'dan did not come to seduce the old Horde members. The battle in Draenor ended very quickly, and the Alliance and Horde successfully liberated the world, eliminating the threat of the Iron Horde.

As a result, the prophet Velen of this world survived, and Draenor did not collapse as it had in the previous case.

Overall, this is good news for the world of Azeroth, because with Rhodes' intervention, Legion will not happen, and a certain King Varian will not lose his life on the Broken Shore because of this.

"Lord Rhodes, the battle in Draenor is basically over. We will soon be returning to Azeroth and withdrawing as a whole. What are your plans?" Khadgar approached Rhodes and asked.

The reason why the Iron Horde was defeated so quickly this time was largely due to the help of the true god named Rhodes. His attack at the Dark Portal completely shattered the morale of the Iron Horde and laid the foundation for the subsequent victory of the Horde and the Alliance.

"Well, I still haven't found the mastermind behind this. Who sent you all to my world?" Rhodes said.

Even someone of your level who has been observing for so many days has not discovered anything. Is this really just an accidental probability event?

"I'm afraid I can't help with this, but if you're planning to visit our world, I'd be very happy to welcome you," Khadgar said.

To be honest, Rhodes wasn't very interested in the other world of Azeroth; it was basically the same as his own.

Moreover, because of his own changes, Legion should not happen again. As for the upcoming crises, they have nothing to do with Rhodes. After all, Azeroth is about to be successfully born, so these timelines are no longer important.

Without the allure of the Azerothian world-soul, the Void Lords wouldn't be interested in this place, but just in case, Rhodes still planned to send three of his subordinates over.

"I will leave a coordinate on you, and then send three of my capable subordinates back to Azeroth with you."

"They won't interfere in any of Azeroth's internal affairs; they'll only secretly investigate your unexpected arrival in our world. If they find nothing, I'll bring them back," Rhodes said.

Perhaps my goal is too big. With a primordial god standing there, the mastermind behind the scenes might not dare to come out at all. Maybe I should send my subordinates to try their luck!

After some thought, Rhodes summoned the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, along with Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi from his private space.

Having followed Rhode for several years, the three of them have greatly improved their strength. The Second Hokage and Rhode are even related, and the Second Hokage also received a peach. Now they are definitely at the level of demigods.

"Lord Rhodes, what are your orders?" the Second Hokage asked.

"Here's the thing, so I want you to go to Khadgar's world and secretly investigate this matter," Rhodes said.

"You've come to the right person, Lord Rhodes! We ninjas are very good at intelligence gathering."

"Don't worry! Leave it to us! We'll definitely investigate thoroughly. Unless this is just a minor accident, we'll find the mastermind behind it all," Kabuto Yakushi said.

"I have faith in your abilities! I will leave a spatial mark on each of you, and you can use this spatial mark to return to where I am at any time."

"If the opponent you've investigated is too strong, then return immediately and tell me everything. I'll come back and deal with him personally," Rhodes said.

The three nodded together, and then Rhodes had Khadgar lead them through the portal, returning to Azeroth, another world, with the armies of the Horde and the Alliance.

Rhodes chose not to alert the enemy. He figured that if he went there, he would most likely end up like he did in Draenor, finding nothing. The enemy would definitely not come out, so he sent his men to investigate.

After dealing with these matters, Rhode returned to his original world of Azeroth and went back to his sanctuary. He then summoned Athena and told her everything that had happened.

"Do you think this was an accident, or was it orchestrated by someone in secret?" (End of Chapter)
