Aggramar, as the commander of the Pantheon and a military leader, had seen countless battles. However, facing the Void Lord's taunts, he couldn't help but feel anger rising within him, even though he knew the opponent was trying to provoke him.
Dimensius's ability was virtually invincible. It could always merge into the Twisting Nether before an enemy's attack landed, avoiding all damage. Then, it would reappear in unpredictable locations, launching shameless sneak attacks.
Even though Dimensius wasn't known for its offensive power, its shameless tactics had worn down and killed two Titans in the battle that had lasted for several hours.
"Such fragile lives. Your metallic bodies cannot keep you safe."
"Pitiful creatures. Is this the so-called most powerful force in the universe?"
"Truly underwhelming."
"Ah, how boring. None of you can even touch me."
"I'm tired of playing."
"You're not the only ones who can play the numbers game—I'll summon two allies to spar with you."
"Tired of playing, tired of playing. Let them finish you off."
The time had come. Void energy surged wildly. Even without other Titans reminding him, Aggramar knew Dimensius was about to summon more helpers.
Five orbs of dark purple Void energy appeared around Mount Hyjal. Aggramar's eyes widened, and he immediately asked the Titans beside him, "Were there only two orbs of Void energy before?"
"Yes, yes, Your Excellency!"
Dimensius's three previous summons had been the same, except that only two orbs of Void energy had appeared each time.
If each orb of Void energy represented an Old God about to enter Silithus, then five Old Gods would appear simultaneously this time!
If that were the case, the Mount Hyjal line of defense, which was already barely holding, would collapse very quickly.
Aggramar was anxious: "Why hasn't Lord Aiden arrived yet…?"
Even though only a little over half an hour had passed since the Titan who requested help had left, Aggramar knew very well that if anyone could change the current situation in Silithus, it would be Aiden, and no one else.
Similarly, the Old God on the battlefield who specialized in creating illusions was incredibly excited to see this situation—it had originally thought it was doomed to die. Because Dimensius only summoned two of its kind each time, it couldn't form a numerical advantage at all. Basically, the first ones to arrive would die first, and the later ones would die later, like waves pushing onto the shore, with the previous wave dying on the beach.
It was already heavily injured and thought it was about to die on the beach, but who knew that Dimensius would make such a grand gesture this time, actually summoning five Old Gods at once?
Once these comrades arrived, all the Titans at Mount Hyjal would probably die!
"Big Head Evil God" felt incredibly fortunate to have survived when it saw Dimensius's summons attracting everyone's attention.
In just a few minutes, they would win!
Just then, it suddenly sensed a human with an extremely powerful aura approaching rapidly. Big Head felt cold all over, and its neck seemed to be frozen stiff, unable to even turn its head.
Then, an indescribable force came from behind. It ultimately failed to turn its head and was cut into two pieces by a blue holy flame that stretched for thousands of meters, dying completely.
The anxious Aggramar suddenly looked up and saw the figure he had been longing for passing through the middle of the Old God's corpse, which had been split in two.
Aggramar was overjoyed and felt as if all his strength had been drained as he exclaimed, "Lord Aiden, you've finally arrived!"
Aiden had already clearly seen the situation at Mount Hyjal a minute ago. Seeing the five huge purple pillars of light hanging down from the sky, he didn't waste any words and said directly, "I need to interrupt Dimensius's spell. Pay attention to the surrounding situation and protect me."
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Aggramar agreed immediately.
Aiden had already checked Dimensius's information through his own authority, and he knew the opponent's weaknesses even without checking.
Dimensius entered the physical world through various Void Rifts and possessed the invincible ability to freely transform between reality and the Twisting Nether. Without being able to restrict it, no one could defeat it.
In the classic storyline, it was trapped in the Mana-Forge when it entered Outland through a Void Storm, unable to exert its abilities, and died miserably under the siege of adventurers and the Netherstorm, being ended by a group of mortals when even the Pantheon was helpless against the Void Lord.
Even if Aiden could create a device like the Mana-Forge, Dimensius wouldn't be foolish enough to jump into it. He didn't expect the system, which was constantly increasing the difficulty and creating trouble for him, to let him defeat Dimensius easily, so he didn't count on using such methods from the start.
He had an alternative plan.
Dimensius's method of summoning the Old Gods was to create an energy channel of "reality—Twisting Nether—reality" and stuff the Old Gods it wanted to transport into Silithus in this way.
Aiden couldn't possibly know which universe or galaxy Dimensius would choose the Old Gods from. Even if he knew, he couldn't possibly get there in time to stop it; nor could he send the enemy back when Dimensius opened the channel from the Twisting Nether to reality and was about to transmit the target.
However, Dimensius's summons had to gather energy, and Aiden just happened to have a way to cut off the energy supply—he took out a green gem—the Eye of Sargeras.
This artifact had helped Aiden solve problems many times, and this time was no exception.
"Target selected…"
"Reading model—Void Beam"
"Executing command—Block"
"Energy injecting…"
A few minutes later, five mature Old Gods of various shapes appeared beside Dimensius in the Twisting Nether. Each of them couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts—because they all had a strong feeling—the Twilight Hour was coming, and the era belonging to the Old Gods was about to begin!
And they were the vanguard of ushering in the dark age!
This strong sense of mission made them so excited that they couldn't control themselves.
After waiting another two minutes, one of the terrifying treant-shaped Old Gods couldn't help but ask: "What's going on? Why haven't we been teleported yet?"
"Is there a problem?" another squid-like Old God also asked.
The other three were not in a hurry at first, but now they saw this and felt that something had changed. Immediately, the five Old Gods looked at Dimensius with scrutinizing eyes.
Dimensius replied unhappily: "Don't be anxious, what's the rush? There are Old Gods who want to go to Silithus to make contributions, and those who don't want to can return the way they came!"
Which of the five Old Gods was willing to go back in such a dispirited manner? So they all calmed down. After all, they had waited tens of thousands of years, so waiting a little longer was nothing.
Although Dimensius suppressed the Old Gods with those words, it still noticed that something was wrong—it could clearly sense Silithus, but it couldn't open the portal from the Twisting Nether!
It felt like there was an energy blocking its door.
This abnormal situation made Dimensius immediately realize that someone must have done this using some method it didn't know.
"You guys wait, I'll go take a look!" After discovering that continuing to inject energy was useless, Dimensius decided to go see for itself.
It was very careful and did not teleport to the place it had left before, fearing an ambush. Although that possibility was very low, its cautious personality had allowed it to live for hundreds of thousands of years and leave a great reputation in the universe.
It instantly disappeared from the Twisting Nether and reappeared dozens of kilometers away from the battlefield of Mount Hyjal.
With its powerful perception, it immediately figured out who was hindering its actions.
And when it could sense Aiden, Aiden could of course also sense it.
"You think you can stop me like this? Naive!"
Dimensius mocked loudly, "I'm not playing with you anymore, gentlemen."
The Void Lord stretched out its thick arm and made a "goodbye" gesture.
"This guy—" Aggramar muttered with a snort.
Dimensius disappeared again before their eyes.
"What should we do, Your Excellency?" Aggramar asked.
"Dimensius must have other tricks. Let's wait and see!" Aiden had no intelligence support and didn't know what Dimensius would do next. It might go to some unknown corner outside the Outlands and secretly summon ten or eight more Old Gods, then push them over in one go; it might also leave this world and look for opportunities elsewhere.
Who knows?
Aggramar had no objection. He stood with his sword and said in a deep voice: "I wonder how Gorganneth is doing over there."
"He shouldn't be able to solve it so quickly, let's wait a little longer. With his strength, he shouldn't encounter any danger."
Aiden looked up at the sky. It was already early morning, and in two hours it would be daytime. A bright moon hung in the sky, emitting a clear light.
But Aiden was a little strange. He could sense that Ra-den was in her palace, but from the outbreak of the battle during the day to the current temporary ceasefire, Ra-den had not taken any action during this period. This seemed a little unreasonable—not to mention Dimensius, at least the foreign Old Gods must be considered her enemies, right?
But why didn't she take action?
Was she restricted by the system?
Aiden felt that this guess was the most likely.
He was very clear that the system was actually promoting everything behind this great Silithus melee. It did not allow the original NPC characters to take actions that were out of control, and it did not allow crucial characters like Aman'Thul and Sargeras to leave this world—not even try!
So the ultimate goal of this war must be to prevent the three highest-authority Titans from cooperating to open the mirror channel.
There were too many places where tricks could be played, especially after Dimensius broke in, this channel would become full of unknowns.
In the following time, the Pantheon, the Burning Legion, and the Silithid coalition were all committed to clearing out the remaining forces of the Old Gods and the Void Legion.
Dimensius disappeared after making harsh remarks in the second half of the night, and no trace could be found.
Aiden was originally worried that it would hide in the nooks and crannies, tricking their senses, and secretly summoning a large coalition of Old Gods, which would more or less bring them some trouble. But now it seems that Dimensius did not do this.
The three parties each sent a large number of troops to monitor various parts of Silithus to prevent such things from happening.
And just as the second night fell, violent vibrations suddenly came from under the earth, mixed with tragic howls.
Aiden and Aggramar immediately felt something: it seemed that Gorganneth had succeeded!
