"One last time! Submit to my will, Aiden!"
Yogg-Saron's thoughts became extremely excited. This time, it didn't even pay attention to its own heart, no longer considering the essence rapidly flowing away from it, because it had a better choice. How could it continue to choose to self-destruct?
The third wave of psychic attacks arrived.
This was Yogg-Saron's most violent mental attack, a chaotic torrent of memories and voices surging towards Aiden's brain like a tsunami.
It sensed the opponent's last tenacious resistance. Aiden's mental strength was like a small boat floating in raging waves, in danger of being overturned by an even higher wave at any moment.
Yogg-Saron felt as if victory was within reach. It immediately unleashed two hundred percent of its strength, concentrating all of its mental power to engulf Aiden.
Overdrawing its mental power dulled Yogg-Saron's sense of physical pain, because even before the mental power contest, every part of its body was already aching.
Hundreds of tentacles were severely cut when they forcibly broke through the Titan's cage, followed by the pain of blood vessels bursting; four of its stomachs were completely shattered by Aiden, and the remaining stomachs were still being tormented by the remaining Bloodthirsty Demon Vine Legion; its heart was first compressed tenfold, and then suffered nearly unbearable pain; a portion of its head was also being besieged by those heroes because it floated into the nest; its chest was pierced by its own tentacles, and a large area was basically a bloody mess…
From head to toe, inside and out, everywhere was pain.
It was already close to numbness.
Because of this, Yogg-Saron ignored the most serious threat—Aiden pretended to be on the verge of being overwhelmed by its mental power, but in reality, he remained completely clear-headed, and these violent mental forces did not affect his thinking at all.
He continuously poured energy into the Eye of Sargeras, and after being permeated by the power of time, a very large amount of power had already condensed within it.
It was waiting to explode!
Aiden quickly confirmed that the accumulation process was complete, and the "Shattering Command" began to execute again.
Yogg-Saron suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from its heart. Although it was desperately trying to crush Aiden's will to save itself, and the feeling of getting closer and closer to success with each attempt made it even more frenzied, its fragmented heart almost immediately calmed it down.
"Not good—I've been tricked!" Yogg-Saron realized.
"Ah—" Aiden screamed, forcefully spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Yogg-Saron was immediately unable to tell whether the opponent was really injured or just pretending.
It originally wanted to immediately withdraw its mental power and unleash a self-destruction at all costs, but this scene made it hesitate again.
Had all of its previous efforts been in vain?
It was extremely unwilling to give up the idea of self-destruction again, and gathered its mental power to launch another fierce attack.
"Stop, stop! I surrender, I surrender!" Aiden shouted "painfully."
He seemed to be almost completely unable to resist, and was in a precarious situation under the double attack of Yogg-Saron's tentacles and mental power.
Yogg-Saron couldn't suppress the ecstasy in its heart, "Finally, it's about to succeed!"
It would not really give the opponent a chance to surrender. As long as it crushed Aiden's will, wouldn't he completely surrender?
Yogg-Saron was unwilling to trust the cunning humans. If it allowed the opponent to recover and use the power of time, he might escape!
It once again launched a mental tidal wave towards Aiden. Perhaps in the next instant, the opponent would completely become its servant!
It was just that this instant seemed to drag on for a little too long.
Aiden had been screaming in pain all along, looking almost dead, and had almost been hit or swallowed by Yogg-Saron's tentacles several times, mostly surviving by luck.
But he was never controlled, and Yogg-Saron's heart was getting more and more painful.
It was not until this moment that Yogg-Saron truly understood that it had been played by this extremely insidious and cunning human!
"Ouch… ah… spare me… I… I can't act anymore!" Seeing that the situation was set, Aiden finally couldn't help but laugh.
How could he not feel the other party's hesitation and shock?
But at this moment, Yogg-Saron no longer had the capital to launch a self-destruction that would sufficiently threaten everyone.
Aiden's expression instantly returned to normal, his eyes were bright and piercing, and his figure became very agile, maneuvering among the attacks of the many tentacles with complete ease.
"Yogg-Saron, you have failed." He raised the shining gem in his hand, the Eye of Sargeras, the artifact that controlled Yogg-Saron's fate.
"You are despicable! Shameless!" Yogg-Saron roared in anger.
In its hundreds of thousands of years, it had never seen such an insidious and cunning opponent. Regardless of the race or the forces, those mechanically conservative Titans never knew how to be so proficient in conspiracies and tricks. They only knew how to follow procedures, meticulously and rigidly.
When did a freak like Aiden appear among the Titans?
"Thank you for the compliment!" Aiden responded with a smile.
Wasn't the fact that the enemy was gnashing their teeth and even cursing proof that he had succeeded?
Yogg-Saron was speechless. It knew that it no longer had the ability to threaten the opponent with self-destruction, because it was no longer possible to succeed. It had fallen for the opponent's trick and missed the best opportunity.
"Your depravity is comparable to that of N'Zoth." Yogg-Saron made no secret of its mockery and disgust.
The mockery was directed at Aiden, and the disgust was of course directed at the latter.
However, these two happened to be the biggest enemies.
N'Zoth's entire plan was to welcome the End Time in this world, while Aiden was doing everything he could to prevent this moment from arriving.
N'Zoth was the most powerful of the Old Gods, and the one most likely to usher in the End Time, while Aiden was almost destined to be the one most likely to stop him.
Although they did not face each other directly, fate would always connect their destinies, and they were destined to be mortal enemies!
"N'Zoth is my next target." Aiden sensed that the energy of the Eye of Sargeras was full, "This world will not usher in your rule, I guarantee it!"
"Shattering Command—Complete!"
Right in front of Aiden, Yogg-Saron's heart suddenly shattered into millions of pieces of flesh, and a "rain of flesh and blood" fell from the sky, eventually landing inside the chest cavity below, piling up into another small hill.
Aiden held the scepter and the gem, and in his ears was Yogg-Saron's miserable howl, but it was not dead yet.
For this "Demon of a Thousand Maws," although the heart was crucial, the loss of the heart would not kill it immediately. Even if it did not suffer more serious trauma now, there was still hope for it to survive.
Any organ in its body could be sacrificed, except for the brain. Only this was the organ that truly determined its life and death.
This applied to almost all Old Gods—destroying the brain would cause them to die directly, but if the heart containing their essence was still present, as long as someone absorbed the power of the heart, they could be reborn in that body.
And if both the heart and the brain were destroyed, then the Old God would truly be completely dead, with no hope of resurrection.
Now that Yogg-Saron had lost its heart, Aiden was even less likely to give up on its brain.
—
On the ground, the battle between the heroes and Yogg-Saron was fierce.
They didn't know what had stimulated this evil god, but it seemed incredibly crazy!
It struggled and roared constantly, so much so that the entire Ulduar seemed to be in a continuous earthquake. All the huge mouths on the head that protruded from the pit were constantly lunging and opening, wanting to devour people.
The heroes' mission was to defeat and seal it, but under Yogg-Saron's violent and merciless attacks, they could barely defend themselves.
Countless Faceless Ones emerged from the still-wet black blood, swarming towards them, and various powerful dark spells flew around, seemingly aimlessly ravaging the entire cave.
Many spells did not have fixed aiming targets, and seemed to be randomly released.
This chaotic "Demon of a Thousand Maws" was more venting its desire to attack and its anger, rather than killing the heroes present.
No one knew why this was happening.
What surprised them even more was that after more than ten minutes, they had not even been able to leave any particularly serious scars on Yogg-Saron's main body. Suddenly, the evil god howled and fell into the deep pit.
Suddenly, there were no other enemies in the entire cave except for the Faceless Ones.
Although the Faceless One legion was numerous, it was It's impossible to resist these most powerful heroes of Azeroth, and they were quickly cleaned up.
"What's going on?"
"Yogg-Saron doesn't have any conspiracies, does he?"
Everyone was suspicious. The scene in front of them was too abnormal, so much so that they guessed that Yogg-Saron would definitely drill out again.
Malfurion carefully came to the big pit where Yogg-Saron's main body had fallen. He cast his gaze down, but this pit was still bottomless, exactly the same as the hundreds of other pits where tentacles stretched out.
The Lifebinder Freya also came here. She took a few glances and said in surprise: "Yogg-Saron has indeed suffered enough heavy damage. Now we can cast the seal!"
"That's right." The other three also confirmed this news.
Now, as long as they join forces to cast the seal, they can ensure that the Ulduar prison will not have to worry about Yogg-Saron breaking through the prison for thousands of years, or even longer.
"In other words, we won just like that?" Khadgar and the other archmages looked at each other.
No matter how you looked at it, this battle was a bit anticlimactic, and they felt that victory didn't have much to do with them.
They didn't defeat Yogg-Saron, it was the other party who took the initiative to retreat.
A Void Beast also came forward. This was the Void Burrower Rek'Sai. She lay on the edge of the hole and looked down, then looked back at Kayle and conveyed a silent mental message to her, and then plunged into the giant pit, quickly disappearing.
"This—this is?" Of course, other people knew that this was a hero from the Valoran Federation, but the battle was over, so why did she have to jump into the deep pit herself?
