At this point, Sargeras’s invasion of Azeroth had utterly failed.

Logically speaking, Sargeras should have flown into a rage. But after looking down at Broxigar, he fell silent.

After a while, he asked Broxigar, who could no longer move, “Orc, what is… your name?”

Broxigar coughed up blood and said with a smile. “B-Broxigar s.h.i.+ga Saurfang!”

Sargeras nodded and stood up straight.

Although the failure of the plan made him enraged, being able to ask for Broxigar’s name meant that Sargeras still recognized this brave orc. Not only Sargeras, but the demons of the Burning Legion also recognized his bravery.

The recognition from an enemy was the greatest honor and medal for a warrior!

Therefore, in the end, although Sargeras still executed Broxigar, he didn’t torture the soul of this orc. In the future, although Ner’zhul was stronger than Broxigar, the Burning Legion had tortured him so much that he could neither live nor die. The contrast between the experiences of these two was like heaven and earth.

Moreover, the plan had failed, but Sargeras didn’t hold anyone accountable. After Archimonde was expelled back, he was uneasy, afraid that Sargeras would punish him. In the end, he got through safely.

It wasn’t that Sargeras had changed his nature but because he realized from Broxigar’s eyes that he had underestimated the resistance of the mortal beings of Azeroth. The Burning Legion’s invasion had caused all the races of Kalimdor to unite and fight against the Legion. This was what Sargeras reflected on.

Sargeras left without punis.h.i.+ng anyone, but his desire for Azeroth didn’t disappear. Moreover, although the portal had closed, he was very clear about the situation on Azeroth. He returned to the Burning Throne and planned to take a look.

At this moment, Roy was also waiting to watch the live broadcast. His main body had always stayed in his palace. After handing the Well of Eternity water and sword embryo to Illidan, he had canceled his power projection.

Roy had seen what had happened at the Argus portal. Although the entire situation was slightly different from the history in his memory, Broxigar’s sacrifice still appeared as usual.

Roy was also very impressed with the orc Broxigar. Regarding Sargeras not torturing his soul, Roy nodded in agreement. If anyone really dared to have designs on Broxigar’s soul, he might have been unable to hold back from taking action.

A brave warrior couldn’t be blasphemed…

After feeling sorry for Broxigar, Roy turned his attention back to Azeroth. Before his power projection had left, he had left a demon eye in Zin-Azshari. It happened to activate at this time, so he pulled Julia and Benia over to watch the projection together and prepared to appreciate the explosion.

In the sky above the Well of Eternity, after Sargeras’s hands disappeared, Malfurion and the others immediately understood that Broxigar had succeeded! They praised Broxigar’s miraculous achievement while stepping up their efforts to infuse magic power into the Dragon Soul to accelerate the closing of the portal.

When Sargeras’s hand appeared again, everyone’s heart skipped a beat. But not long after, an axe flew out of the portal and fell into the distance. Sargeras’s hand completely withdrew, as though it were specially creating an opportunity for the axe to fly out.

With his sharp eyes, Rhonin immediately recognized that it was Broxigar’s battle axe. Although he was already prepared for Broxigar’s sacrifice, when he saw the axe fly out, he couldn’t help letting out a sorrowful roar and chased after the axe without looking back.

After the portal was completely closed, Malfurion and the others heaved a sigh of relief. Only Tyrande looked sad.

Malfurion naturally understood Tyrande’s feelings, so he persuaded, “He is our hero. Don’t worry, Tyrande. In this war against the Burning Legion, more people will inherit his will…”

Tyrande nodded and turned her attention back to the Well of Eternity.

At this moment, the Well of Eternity was already in a very turbulent state, and a gigantic green vortex was forming. This wasn’t only because Sargeras’s fel energy had contaminated the well water but also because the portal was violently closed. The many types of energy were constantly colliding and raging in the water, causing the water to be unable to calm down. It was as though the Well of Eternity was under tremendous pressure, and it urgently needed a way to vent. And this way, if nothing unexpected happened, would be an immense explosion.

Realizing that the Well of Eternity couldn’t be saved, although Malfurion and Tyrande were anguished, they still left resolutely. Rhonin and Krasus followed them.

Most of the night elf civilians had already evacuated. Some Highborne also realized that something was wrong, so they no longer cared about their loyalty to Azshara and evacuated together.

In the city of Zin-Azshari, Queen Azshara fell into a daze.

Everything had changed too quickly. Sargeras was about to come out of the portal, but in less than half an hour, the portal closed. The situation changed so quickly that Azshara didn’t have time to react before failure was already a foregone conclusion.

Now, a catastrophe was coming. The Highborne who were once loyal to her fled from her like stray dogs, and no one would respectfully call her queen. On the contrary, Azshara knew that she would be despised in the history of the night elves for countless years from now on!

Because it was her greed that attracted the Burning Legion…

In the empty palace, the servants were gone, the n.o.bles were gone, and even the demons were gone, leaving only a mess.

As Azshara looked at all of this, boundless anger gradually rose in her heart. At this moment, she began to hate the night elf traitors and the Burning Legion. She felt that it was all their fault that she had failed.

Azshara’s mentality had long been distorted. The queen, who had always been high and mighty, had never reflected on her mistakes. Instead, she blamed everything on others.

Just as Azshara was furious, a voice rang in her ear. “Your Majesty, why is there such a commotion outside? Did something happen?”

The person who spoke was Vashj. She and the other maids of Azshara hurriedly ran into the palace and asked Azshara nervously.

These maids in the deep palace were not clear about what was going on. In fact, when the Highborne evacuated, no one would explain anything to the maids. After seeing these maids, Azshara realized that there might still be people loyal to her in the city.

She was right. At this moment, there were still many night elves in Zin-Azshari who had not left. These people were all truly loyal to Azshara. Although these night elves felt uneasy about the panicked evacuation of others, they couldn’t judge the true situation. They wanted to wait for Azshara to come out and explain to them, so they stayed in the city.

After seeing her maids and the loyal night elves, Azshara decided not to tell them what was happening. She only comforted them and rea.s.sured them.

As for Azshara herself, she held her staff, an artifact called Sharas’dal, and came to a high place in Zin-Azshari.

Not long after, a dazzling light appeared from the Well of Eternity in the distance. This light was so brilliant that it almost illuminated the entire sky of Kalimdor. Even at this moment, it covered the light of the sun. Everyone who saw this light covered their stinging eyes and screamed.

If someone looked at Azeroth from outer s.p.a.ce, they would see an extremely dazzling light spot appear on the planet and then rapidly expand until it illuminated the dark cosmic background.

The light was dazzling, but the meaning of the light was terrifying! After the light gradually dissipated, what followed was a rumbling sound. At first, it didn’t sound very loud, but when it spread to Zin-Azshari, ninety percent of the people in the city were deafened by this thunderous sound!

Strong gusts rolled in endless seawater and set off a terrifying tsunami more than a hundred meters high. The huge curtain formed by seawater stunned all the night elves who saw it.

They didn’t know how all of this happened, and the arrival of the catastrophe caught them off guard.

The Well of Eternity exploded. The moment the explosion occurred, the ground was torn apart. This enormous tsunami was only a precursor.

The night elves in the city began to flee in panic, but they didn’t know where to run. Under the ma.s.sive upheaval, countless people were trampled to death. Mothers who felt that they couldn’t escape could only protect their children under them in despair. They didn’t know if this was useful. It was just their instincts driving them.

Under the desperate gazes of countless night elves, Azshara held Sharas’dal in her hand. The moment the tsunami struck, she raised an enormous magic s.h.i.+eld to block the seawater for her people.

The night elves looked at this scene in astonishment, not knowing how to react. Azshara was also suffering. She originally thought that she could turn the tide with her strength, but reality slapped her hard again. Wave after wave came. She blocked the first and second waves, but she couldn’t block the third and fourth waves.

Before long, under Azshara’s desperate gaze, the tsunami broke her s.h.i.+eld and swallowed all of Zin-Azshari…

In this extraordinary explosion, the entire continent of Kalimdor began to split into pieces, and the location of the Well of Eternity was replaced by an immense maelstrom. The living beings on the planet suffered heavy casualties, and a small number of survivors were floating on the boundless sea on s.h.i.+ps. Their residences had already been swallowed by the sea. In this catastrophe, only the towering Mount Hyjal could still reveal a piece of land for the survivors to rest on…

The entire planet of Azeroth would probably take thousands of years to repair the damage caused by this catastrophe…
