Chapter 742: Seal? Cage?
Yun felt as if he had grasped some key clues, so he concentrated his energy and tried desperately to recall every detail of Frostmourne. The image of the sword kept appearing in his mind, from the hilt to the blade, to every rune on the blade, which gradually became clear in his memory.
As Yun's memories deepened, the originally chaotic space in front of him suddenly showed blue and cyan light again. The two colors intertwined and twisted, as if shaping something. Gradually, the shape became more and more obvious, and the details became clearer and clearer. There was no doubt that this was Frostmourne!
Yun stretched out his hand excitedly, trying to grab the Frostmourne. However, when his hand touched Frostmourne, he only felt like he was grabbing a ball of air, and his hand went straight through the illusion of the sword and cut it open.
"What's going on?" Yun looked at his hand in amazement, his heart full of doubts, "Is this just an illusion? It's not the real Frostmourne? But why can I see such an illusion?"
Yun felt a little disappointed, but he did not give up. He decided to try again. After all, he had no better way now. So he took a deep breath and focused on the illusion of Frostmourne again.
This time, the illusion of Frostmourne became clearer, and even some subtle lines on the sword could be seen clearly. However, Yun still found a problem - several key details of Frostmourne were still blurred, as if shrouded in a layer of fog.
Does it have to be exactly the same as the real thing? Yun couldn't help but feel a little helpless. After all, he had had this sword in his hands for a while. Although he had observed it carefully, who could remember every detail so clearly? Moreover, the runes on the sword were runes that controlled the undead in the game, so Yun had to spend some time studying them before he could barely remember what they looked like.
Although he felt helpless, Yun decided to recall the details of the sword bit by bit and try to restore them. This process was not easy. He needed to recall, try, recall, and try again. However, his efforts were not in vain, because he discovered an interesting phenomenon: when his memory matched the real situation, the details of Frostmourne would become clear and visible; if his memory was biased, then these details would remain unclear.
In this way, Yun didn't know how many times he tried, and finally made all the details of Frostmourne real. At this time, he was very nervous. After all, this was his first attempt. If he succeeded, he would really have hope of getting out. He took a deep breath, then carefully reached out his hand and slowly grasped the hilt of Frostmourne.
When his hand actually grasped the hilt of the sword, Yun felt a heavy weight. He waved Frostmourne in disbelief. The feeling was both real and unreal, as if it was all just a dream. But the weight in his hand and the touch of the sword told him that it was all real.
Yun was filled with an indescribable excitement. He actually got this sword! Then, could he try other things himself? This thought flashed through his mind, and his heartbeat accelerated.
Yun took a deep breath and focused his thoughts again. He began to recall the Dark Empire Blade. This weapon was of great significance to Yun. It was not only a powerful weapon, but also the closest bond between him and the ancient gods.
However, there were so many details on the dagger that it took Yun a long time to finally hold it in his hand again. He stared at the dagger and felt the ancient power contained in it.
"N'Zoth?" Yun called softly, expecting a response from the ancient god. However, there was silence all around, and no sound came.
Yun was unwilling to give up, and he continued to try calling the names of other Old Gods, "Yogg-Saron?" "C'Thon?" But the result was still disappointing, no Old God responded to his call.
Just when Yun was feeling a little frustrated, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Where are you?"
Yun was startled. He looked around but didn't see anyone. "Who? Who's talking?" he asked nervously.
"It's me, Xal'atath." The voice came again, with a hint of ridicule.
"You... why are you here?" Yun asked in surprise. He never expected to hear Xal'atath's voice here.
"I've been here the whole time. Didn't you call me out?" There was a hint of doubt in Sartharion's voice.
Yun's eyes widened. "I called you out?" He repeated in disbelief. "Why don't I remember?"
Xal'atath seemed a little surprised by Yun's reaction. "Aren't you calling out to the ancient gods one by one? It will be my turn soon, so I'll come out first."
"I...you have been here all the time?" Yun suddenly realized an important problem. He widened his eyes and looked at Sartharion in disbelief.
Xal'atath is actually in the Blade of the Dark Empire? What does this mean? Various thoughts flashed through Yun's mind, and he began to re-examine the Blade of the Dark Empire. Could it be that this sword belongs to him? And all the items in his backpack can be used here at will?
Yun's heartbeat accelerated, and he felt a surge of excitement. If this was true, then this chaotic space would become particularly interesting. He could explore the various treasures in his backpack here, and might even find some unexpected surprises.
However, at the same time, Yun also had some doubts about this space. Everything here seemed so strange, as if it was hiding some unknown secret.
"Yes, what's wrong?" The voice of Sartharion interrupted Yun's thoughts.
Yun calmed down and decided to ask Xal'atath some questions about this space. After all, as an ancient god, Xal'atath should have more knowledge than him.
"Can you feel where this is?" Yun asked tentatively.
Xal'atath was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I don't know, why does this place look so much like a twisting void cage?"
"Twisting void cage?" Yun stared at the twisted space around him and thought to himself. The scene here is indeed somewhat similar to the twisting void cage, the same twisted environment, and the same feeling of being imprisoned.
"What on earth is this Twisting Void Cage?" Yun asked suspiciously, his doubts flooding his mind like a tide. "Who put it here? What is its function? More importantly, how can we escape from this cage?"
Xal'atath didn't seem surprised by Yun's series of questions. He answered slowly, "Do you even need to ask? Of course it's a place used to imprison those incredibly powerful guys! We ancient gods are sealed in this twisting void cage, and then other magic arrays are used to reinforce the seal. After all, ordinary magic arrays can't trap beings like the ancient gods."
After listening to Xal'atath's explanation, Yun suddenly remembered that he had said before that this place looked like a Twisting Nether Cage, so he asked, "Huh? Didn't you just say that this place looked like a Twisting Nether Cage? Could it be that it's not actually? Then what's the difference between this place and a real Twisting Nether Cage?"
Xal'atath shrugged innocently, "I have never been sealed before, so I naturally don't know what it's like inside the Twisting Nether cage. I just think the environment and atmosphere here are somewhat similar."
Yun suddenly realized that Xal'atath had never been sealed! In the game, he was killed directly and had no chance to experience the feeling of being sealed by the Titans. So, his knowledge of this twisting void cage was just hearsay. Thinking of this, Yun couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He just believed in Xal'atath's words.
"Could it be that you have been sealed?" There was a hint of surprise in Xal'atath's voice. "Who sealed you? And you also lost the fight? This is really unexpected! Your energy is so special, I really can't figure out what kind of energy they used to suppress you."
Yun shook his head helplessly, "I don't know either. I just accidentally found a portal for the dead underground, and then after re-injecting energy, I came here inexplicably."
Xal'atath frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "You walked in? You walked in through the portal? This seems unlikely. As such a huge transmission medium, the portal is bound to have energy overflow. Therefore, I think the portal is definitely not the real reason why you arrived here. There must be some high-energy substance nearby, and they used this substance to seal you up."
Yun became more and more worried. "High-energy matter? I know nothing about it. After all, I am not sure about the situation underground. So, is there any way for me to get out?"
Xal'atath sighed, "To be honest, I don't know. If this is really a cage of the twisting void, it may not be easy to get out. After all, other ancient gods have never heard of anyone who can break through the cage and escape from the inside."
After hearing what Xal'atas said, Yun's hope was instantly shattered, like a deflated ball. He had to admit that Xal'atas was right. Other ancient gods had tried so hard but still failed to escape the seal, so how could he get out easily?
However, Xal'atath's next words surprised Yun. She pointed out that it was very strange that Yun was sealed with his equipment and was not injured. Wasn't the other party afraid that Yun would make a big noise when the seal was not completely solid?
Yun was a little confused by Xal'atath's question, and he explained: "Well... Actually, I only got this equipment later."
Sarthas was obviously very surprised by this answer. She asked: "It was made later? How could there be something here?"
Yun realized that Xal'atath did not understand the process of how he obtained the equipment, so he described in detail how he took out Frostmourne and Blade of the Black Empire.
"This is definitely wrong! This is totally against common sense!" Sartharion said with a face full of suspicion, "Although I have never seen the twisting void cage with my own eyes, I still know a thing or two about its principle. This strange array constructs this cage by twisting high-energy matter to completely restrain the energy of the sealed object. In other words, the distorted energy should be the energy that has a restraining effect on you! How can you get anything beneficial to you from this void? Not only that, you have to expend your own energy to resist this energy that is constantly eroding you!"
Yun couldn't help but wonder when he heard what Xalatas said. He frowned and said thoughtfully, "Then... could it be that those two weapons exist outside the void where I am?" Once this thought flashed through his mind, it spread quickly like a prairie fire.
Upon hearing this, Xalatas was obviously shocked by this idea. She hesitated for a moment and replied, "This... is not impossible." However, there was a hint of uncertainty in her tone.
Seeing this, Yun took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He calmed himself down and said resolutely: "Okay, I'll try again."
Then start trying to think of the rage suit.
Soon the Wrath Helmet appeared in front of Yun, followed by the Wrath Breastplate, Wrath Shoulder Pads, and Wrath Belt, and soon the whole set of Wrath was complete.
Yun became much more proficient and soon the Judgment Set appeared again.
Now Yun's suspicion deepened.
Yun started trying hard again, and a void without any distortion appeared in front of him. Yun tried to pick it up with his hands, but it was still an illusion. However, Yun was not discouraged and continued to try hard. The void appeared again, and Yun tried hard again. Soon, some faint fluctuations appeared around him.
Yun tried to touch the hole with his hand again, and sure enough, the hole was picked up by Yun as if it were a ball.
"Enzos?" Yun called again.
"Huh? What's going on? Why do I feel your energy is weird?" Enzos' voice came over.
"You...you..." Yun was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he could actually contact Enzos.
"What's wrong? You..." Enzos stopped moving. Yun looked at his hand again and the empty sphere had disappeared.
Yun now understood that this high-energy matter should be his own system. Only his own system could have enough energy. That is, the system sealed Yun in its body through this portal. But why?
