"This thing is so noisy! Why don't we just block our hearing and communicate with our minds?" Golganneth, utterly annoyed, couldn't help but suggest.
"Agreed!" Aggramar cleaved a massive iron ore with his sword.
They looked towards Aiden—the absolute leader of this small team—and found him pointing at his own ears, realizing he had already done so.
Seeing this scene, Tarim finally truly panicked.
The outer shell of the Void Plane was its greatest weakness, but it was certain that no one would ever know. That's why, when Aiden previously said to have its body fight itself, it thought the other was just daydreaming. But as the other mentioned this outer shell, it finally remembered—if Aiden hadn't reminded it, Tarim itself would have almost forgotten that it had such a part on its body.
That was truly a painful experience. Tarim felt this should be an absolute secret, yet Aiden somehow knew about it. Even worse, the other party was fully capable of exploiting its weakness to achieve their stated goal!
After isolating the sound, the three of them finally gained a moment of peace. Then, the two Titans' curiosity immediately flared up. They really wanted to figure out how Aiden knew Tarim's secrets.
"Because of my authority," Aiden explained through telepathy. "Aman'Thul's authority is 'Use,' and Sargeras's authority is 'Clear.' I believe you are both well aware of this."
The two Titans nodded.
Aman'Thul had the authority to use all the facilities in "World of Warcraft," the most important of which was the ability to draw on Void Energy and assign subordinate administrator permissions. This was how the Titans were able to create things at will and transform planets according to their wishes.
And Sargeras could clear all data and models. The cosmic essence of "World of Warcraft" was the superposition of countless models, which gave Sargeras unparalleled combat power. Embodied in his former sword, "Gorshalach," was the ability to destroy any enemy's weapon.
Of course, as Titans with the highest authority, the two still restrained each other. For example, even if Sargeras wanted to enter a planet that had been transformed by the Titans and had a defense system set up, he would be restricted by the defense system and would have to sacrifice most of his power to enter.
As for the Titan Aiden, he entered this world after "World of Warcraft" was running independently. He himself was not bound by existing rules, and his identity was equivalent to having super strength—like a "player" with the ability to clear all levels and difficulty instances.
As a "player," the system naturally gave special consideration. The most obvious point was the ability to view the target's data. Just like being able to see the detailed skill effects and health of the BOSSes through the Dungeon Journal before entering a dungeon, weaknesses were naturally included.
As an Old God, Tarim was of course a BOSS to the players, so when Aiden retrieved its information, he easily found its weakness.
Ten thousand years ago, after Tarim ate everything inside the outer shell of this plane, its hungry instinct drove it to eventually eat itself—it regarded Tarim's stomach as its own food and swallowed it, biting down hard.
"Outer shell" was a relatively figurative term. In fact, these outer shells were equivalent to Tarim's feeding organs, which could be regarded as its mouth and oral cavity, except that they were very large. And Tarim's main organs were concentrated in its stomach, including the brain, stomach, digestive organs, and so on.
Compared to its oral cavity, its stomach was much smaller, which led to the "tragedy" at the time.
If it weren't for this, its advance towards the planet of Shirvallah and its war against the other four sun gods would have had to be brought forward by tens of thousands of years—and the outcome of the war might have been completely different.
This was Tarim's biggest secret. When it first came to this small plane, there were indeed some elemental creatures here, but they had long become its food. When its outer shell ate itself, this place had already become a void, and no one, nothing, knew about it.
So the question was—how did Aiden know?
It seemed to know very clearly.
Could it be that the other party had been inside its stomach, or had a tapeworm in its stomach run out to report?
If Tarim had excretory organs, it would definitely think this was the truth. But it didn't have excretory organs. Its entire body only took in and didn't let out, like the mythical Chinese Pixiu.
Even if there were tapeworms, it was impossible for them to run outside to report.
Seven hours later, Tarim finally couldn't hold on any longer. Its reason told it that if it didn't take any action, these people would be able to dig into the esophagus connecting the outer shell in half a day and open the ligation "ring." And once that oral cavity regained sensation, it would swallow it again and chew it hard!
The inner wall of its stomach was as defensive as a divine weapon because it had to digest all kinds of substances, but the outer wall was very ordinary. This was not a part that could be easily evolved and strengthened, and it definitely couldn't resist the sharp teeth in the oral cavity.
Was it going to painfully abandon the delicious food like this?
Tarim was really unwilling!
As long as it digested any one of the three, it could break the restrictions of the void and move its stomach to another place, or move the oral cavity, or rather the brainless head, that had been starving for hundreds of thousands of years in this plane to another plane where there were still things.
That way, it would no longer have any weaknesses!
Before Aiden came in, this goal was within reach, but now, it had become out of reach again.
At this time, Aiden had already told the other two about Tarim's fatal weakness through telepathy.
The surprise in their hearts could be imagined. The world was so big and full of wonders. In their hundreds of thousands of years of life, they had never seen such a special Old God!
If it weren't for this fatal weakness, or if no one knew about this weakness, Tarim would really be an invincible existence. I'm afraid that even if Aman'Thul came, as long as he didn't completely destroy all the planes connected to Shirvallah, it would be impossible to truly kill Tarim. In another ten thousand years, it would be able to grow a powerful outer shell to cause trouble again!
"Then, if we break that ring, can we end this Tarim?" Golganneth couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, as long as that head bites a hole in Tarim's stomach wall, we can directly reach the void world outside. At that time, Tarim can only be slaughtered by us!" Aiden also used voice when answering, instead of telepathy.
Tarim had threatened them for so long before, and now it was time to return the favor!
Aggramar understood their thoughts and immediately cooperated and asked, "I'm very curious, how will its head eat itself?"
"To give an example—" Aiden smiled, "If you have a whole bag of candy, how would you eat it?"
Golganneth and Aggramar looked at each other, and then replied very awkwardly, "We Titans don't eat mortal food…"
"alright, then do you understand mortals? How do you think an ordinary child would eat if he got candy he couldn't finish?"
"Eat however you want!" Golganneth guessed, "Is that right, Uncle?"
This "Uncle" was called sincerely. Now, how could he still doubt Aiden's identity? The other party had come to save him despite the dangers, and he had to recognize this uncle.
"That's right." Aiden nodded, and then continued to ask, "If this child only had a piece of cooked beef, and this was his only food for the day, how would he eat it?"
"I've seen this!" Aggramar suddenly said, "I once saw a child who was almost like this. He wrapped the small piece of beef in paper, tore off a little bit from the top each time, chewed it slowly, and finally swallowed it. He didn't even finish that small piece of beef in a day."
Aiden glanced at Aggramar with great appreciation. He had greatly changed his impression of this bronze Titan. It seemed that this guy didn't only have bitterness and hatred in his heart, but also observed things very carefully.
"That's right. Tarim's outer shell hasn't eaten for hundreds of thousands of years, and there's only one thing it can eat in this void plane, and that's its stomach! So it will bite its own stomach hard, swallow it into its mouth, and then slowly chew it. Because it can't find any other food in this plane, in order to satisfy its appetite, or rather its chewing desire, it will keep chewing until it finds other food, or chews it all up completely, or dies itself."
There was no other food in this plane, and the stomach belonged to Tarim itself, so it was impossible to chew it all up, because the things swallowed would eventually end up in its stomach, forming a cycle.
Because Tarim's esophagus was semi-solid, it was impossible to chew it up.
Therefore, there was only one result, and that was that Tarim's head would keep chewing until it bit itself to death!
Just thinking about it made people shudder.
As an enemy, Tarim couldn't help but want to shiver when it heard Aiden's description.
When the accident happened hundreds of thousands of years ago, if Tarim hadn't cleverly forced some things out of its esophagus into its mouth, so that the head didn't bite it again, and ligated the esophagus while the head was chewing the vomit, so that the head couldn't sense its body, it would have eaten itself at that time.
And now, there were three indigestible and very powerful enemies in Tarim's stomach. Even if it used the same trick again, the other party could break the ring that ligated the esophagus again, making all its efforts futile.
If this continued, it would simply have no way out!
"Stop digging! Stop digging!" Tarim roared, "You win, I'll send you out!"
Since it couldn't eliminate these three huge hidden dangers, and the other party had mastered its fatal weakness, if Tarim didn't want to die, what else could it do besides submit?
This time gave the Old God the biggest lesson in its life—don't eat living things! Eating mud is better than eating three time bombs!
