Crossing the World of Warcraft: I am an Ancient God

Chapter 505: Escape from Ny'alotha

With Xal'atath's guidance, Yun improved significantly in the subsequent battles. Not only was he able to use skills that were clearly made of energy, he also learned some techniques that seemed cool but had limited practicality. Although these skills had little effect in actual combat, Yun knew that when he returned to the real world, he would face a large group of humans. Although he was angry about their betrayal, Yun still couldn't bring himself to kill them. At this time, these cool skills could deter most people, and then deal with some stubborn elements to stabilize the situation.

Now, Yun has begun to enjoy this time, killing monsters, leveling up, and resting here. Except for the lack of communication with others, everything makes him feel like he has returned to the days when he used to stay at home.

Yun was very confused. He had been working hard to upgrade and grow in this place, but N'Zoth did not respond. Logically, he should be able to clearly perceive his changes. If he really wanted to get rid of him, he would not have allowed himself to grow so freely. Whether it was N'Zoth or Xal'atath, their behavior made Yun feel very strange. However, at this moment, he had no time to care about these things. He knew that only by making himself stronger first could the fundamental problem be solved.

Although the battles became increasingly difficult, just like the upgrade from a simple boss in the game to a pioneering boss, the difficulty increased significantly, but each challenge brought an indescribable sense of pleasure. Yun gradually got used to and enjoyed this kind of life, and his strength was also increasing unknowingly. However, when Yun noticed that his food reserves were about to run out, he began to notice something strange.

"Sarthas? How long will it take to break this seal?" Yun couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"It's almost done. We've almost used up the Titan's energy." Xal'atath also seemed a little excited.

"Then how long have I been here?" Yun asked immediately.

"Fortunately, it doesn't take too long." replied Sartharion.

"How long is not too long?" Yun couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. After all, the amount of food he prepared was very considerable. He would store some whenever he had the chance. Even if he squandered it, it would be enough to last for a whole year. However, at this moment, he had eaten all the food, which meant that he had been here for at least half a year. If half a year had really passed, what would the outside world look like?

"The concept of time here is relatively weak, and it is difficult for me to determine exactly how much time has passed, but compared to the long years we have been sealed, this period of time is indeed insignificant." Sartharion responded.

"Okay, how long will it take us to leave here?" Yun knew that being anxious here would be useless. The system had already made it clear that they could only leave after breaking the seal of Titan's energy. Although he was worried about the situation outside, Yun decided to calm down and devote himself to the battle.

"It's almost there. Judging from the current rate of progress, if you go out three or four more times, you will be able to exhaust the Titan's energy. After that, you only need to gather energy two or three more times, and you can successfully leave here." said Sartharion.

Hearing this news, Yun felt a little happy, but at the same time he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Can you guys go out together?"

Sarthas smiled and replied: "It will take me some time to leave here. After all, my energy has been exhausted. I need to accumulate some energy again and find a suitable carrier that can carry my energy."

He nodded to show his understanding. However, he suddenly thought of a question, frowned slightly, and asked worriedly: "But, if Enzos is not bound by the Titan energy, he still has a lot of energy here. Once he successfully escapes from here, we will not be able to compete with him!

"Sarthas said proudly: "Don't worry, he can't leave for the time being." Yun looked at her in confusion and asked: "Why is that?"

"He can know it on the ground in Ny'alotha, but he will have no control over it once he's below. As long as we can prevent him from sensing the changes in the outer nodes, he will not come out." said Sartharion.

"Can't feel it? How is that possible?" Yun was a little surprised. That's an ancient god, is he so easy to fool? Why does Xal'atath say that Enzos is so easy to fool? If he is so easy to fool, how did you get in? Don't you have any idea in your mind?

"It's not that we can't feel it at all. I've been studying this problem for some time. As long as we can block N'Zoth's detection ability from reaching here, with N'Zoth's cautious character, he won't be able to discover it for at least a period of time." replied Sartharion.

"How to block it?" Yun asked curiously.

"You don't have to worry about this. Just go out when the time comes and leave the rest to me." Sartharion said mysteriously.

After hearing what Xal'atath said, Yun fell into confusion again, and was hesitant. After all, Xal'atath and N'Zoth had deceived him before, causing him to suffer. Moreover, Malfurion had also deceived Yun about entering the portal, which made him doubt whether this so-called "outer node" could really get out, and worried that it was another carefully designed trap.

At this point, no matter how Xal'atath explained, Yun could no longer easily believe her words. He only hoped that the system could return to normal as soon as possible, so that at least he could give him a more accurate and reliable answer. However, it was still unknown when the system would be restored.

Yun's heart was full of contradictions and entanglements. He was eager to know the situation outside, but he was afraid to face everything that might happen. If it weren't for his deterrence, those people would have deliberately calculated him, then they must have a follow-up plan. Would they attack his men? After all, Yun had witnessed the tragedy of the Arasso family, and he himself left home when he was young. He didn't have much feeling for family affection and didn't have too much sadness.

However, this time it was different. His subordinates were all comrades who had been with him day and night and fought side by side. They were all comrades who had fought to the death with Yun. If any one of them had a problem, Yun would be sad for a long time. If the other party had taken them all into account, Yun really couldn't imagine that scene.

At the same time, Yun was also afraid, because once he opened the Titan Seal, he might be greeted by another deception, and his efforts for so long might just be part of someone else's plan. This uncertainty made him fall into deep worry.

"The system has been initially restored!" As a crisp prompt sound rang out, Yun suddenly felt delighted.

He said excitedly: "System, that's great, you've finally recovered!" At this critical moment, the recovery of the system made him put aside many of his worries.

"The system was attacked and the data was severely damaged. This place has also been blocked, so the recovery time will be long." Despite this, Yun still breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the system could be restored.

Then he asked anxiously, "How long have I been here?" Unfortunately, the system was being restored and the time could not be calculated accurately.

Finally, Yun asked again: "Then the only way out from here is to go through that outer node?" The system replied: "Yes, with your strength, this is the only route you can choose at the moment."

Yun understood immediately that there was more than one way here, but other ways might be more difficult and dangerous, and might require more energy, and there might be more powerful opponents guarding them. He immediately returned to the topic: "How much Titan energy has been consumed in the outer node now?"

The system quickly gave an answer: "Ninety-two percent has been consumed." Hearing this number, Yun felt relieved. It seemed that what Sartharion said was relatively reliable.

Then, Yun asked again: "When I consume all the Titan energy in that outer node, can I get out?"

The system replied affirmatively: "Yes, your consciousness is stored here. As long as a small gap is opened, your consciousness can get out."

Yun couldn't help but feel curious: "Consciousness? Small gap? Then can Xal'atath also get out?" He was very confused about this.

"No, your body is outside. You can go back to your body directly, but she has no carrier outside the door. She can't hold on for too long just relying on energy to wrap her consciousness." The system explained.

"So how can she leave here?" Yun asked anxiously.

The system answered without hesitation: "She needs to find a suitable carrier at the door, then use energy to improve this body, and finally integrate consciousness into it."

Yun was still confused, "But, she can't leave here, how can she get others to the door?"

After thinking for a moment, the system said: "As long as this external node is opened, she will be able to communicate with some people. Maybe she will use part of the energy as bait." The system analyzed the situation.

Now Yun understood why the ancient gods always loved to bewitch people. It turned out that their bodies were sealed, and it took a lot of effort to open a crack. Through this crack, they could communicate with people and transfer a little energy. Although it was only a little energy from the ancient gods, it was indeed an extremely huge energy for humans. With this energy, people were willing to break the seal for them.

At the same time, Yun felt a little more at ease after hearing this, thinking: As long as Xal'atath and N'Zoth cannot leave here easily, then he still has time and opportunity to deal with it. So, he decided to go out and hunt dark creatures without any worries.

With the help of the system, Shi Yun was able to accurately grasp the progress of the killing. When the progress bar was full, he pretended to be relaxed and returned to the sanctuary. "How is the situation? How much of the seal is left?" he asked tentatively. "Soon, two or three more kills will completely unlock it." Xal'atath answered excitedly. "Then how are we going to block N'Zoth's detection after we get out?" Shi Yun asked immediately. "Actually it's very simple. N'Zoth's detection method is to detect whether the energy of the old god still exists."

"We're gone, so of course it's gone." Yun was very confused. If he and Xal'atath were gone, how could the energy of the ancient god still exist? Could Xal'atath still create a clone in this situation?

"We have indeed left, but there is still one ancient god who has not left." Sartharion said proudly.

"Not leaving? Who is it?" Yun's curiosity became even stronger.

"Il'gynoth, as long as we fix it here, it will continue to release the energy of the Old Gods and can successfully confuse N'Zoth for a period of time." Sartharion explained.

Yun suddenly realized it and slapped his head, realizing that he had forgotten this. In the game, this was originally where Ignos was. So that's it! Ignos's role was to paralyze N'Zoth. In the game, once Ignos was killed and the mechanism was activated, N'Zoth would realize that he was no longer threatened and would take the initiative to open the portal. In other words, as long as he became strong enough, he could move Ignos away and let N'Zoth open the gate on his own.

"Okay, I'll take a rest and go again later. We should be at the outer node." Yun said and went back to the shelter to rest. He muttered to himself: Xal'atath must have selfish motives. She must want me to kill more dark creatures so that she can accumulate the initial dark energy faster. If Xal'atath told me directly, maybe I would help her accumulate more energy, but her roundabout way really disgusted me. I will never let her succeed! While thinking, Yun sorted out his belongings, took a last look at the shelter, and then hurried to the bottom floor while Xal'atath was not paying attention.

"Yun, what are you doing?" Sartharion suddenly asked.

"It's okay. I want to come and take a look at this outer node." Yun replied perfunctorily, without stopping. When he saw the mysterious liquid again, he jumped on it without hesitation. A strong sense of dizziness came over him, and Xal'atath's voice seemed to still echo in his ears, but Yun could no longer hear what she was saying.

When Yun woke up again, he saw that there were only stones in front of him. He moved his body. This feeling was really strange. This was obviously his own body, but the feeling inside was no different from this one.

"Yun, are you awake?" a voice came over.

Yun turned around and saw a man with hair and beard as messy as grass looking at Yun and saying.

"Who are you?" Yun was a little surprised.

"I'm Aaron!" Aaron lifted his hair to reveal his weathered face.

"You...how did you become like this?" Yun was very surprised.

"Yun, you finally woke up." Aaron became even more excited and started crying while hugging Yun.

"It's okay, it's okay, tell me what happened?" Yun was a little surprised. Hadn't he been in there for more than half a year? No matter what the situation was, it should have been in time. Why did Aaron become like this?
