After the three of them were sucked into the vortex, it began to shrink in the blink of an eye and quickly disappeared.
Time seemed to be stuck in a state of stillness.
Sylvanas thought she was dead. She felt like she was in a pitch-black world, with no up or down or left or right.
The illusory feeling of weightlessness made her panic. It was as if there was no passage of time, and there was no concept of space. The only thing she could feel was that her mind could still function smoothly.
She could not breathe, speak, or move. She did not know how long had passed. Perhaps it was a second, or perhaps a century.
Even with the longevity and experience of elves, she was a little panicked when faced with a situation where time seemed to have stopped.
"Am I really dead?" Sylvanas could not help but think.
At that moment, she felt a warm and familiar touch on her palm, making her aware of Duque's existence. She subconsciously moved closer to him, but it was a pity that she could not even move a finger. Even so, the feeling of her fingers tightly clasped together made her feel very at ease.
At that moment, she suddenly heard Nozdormu's voice.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." The Bronze Dragon King always had a poker face. Even in human form, he rarely showed any expression. He spoke to mortals in a tone that had never changed in ten thousand years. Normally, she would find him boring, but at times like this, he was very reliable.
The next moment, other senses returned.
Sylvanas's vision was still filled with endless darkness, but fragments of colorful light began to appear in her vision.
They were like broken glass, reflecting a blurry light in the darkness. However, the scenes that were being played on these fragments made her feel like she was looking at an incomplete magic mirror.
The mirror reflected various scenes. Some of them were scenes that she had experienced in the past, such as the thousands of years she had spent in the Eversong Forest. However, some scenes were extremely unfamiliar and shocking to her.
This was because she had seen herself die under Arthas's sword in the battle to protect Silvermoon City. Her soul had been captured, her heart had been tortured, and she had become the Banshee she once hated the most. Then, she had become the Queen of the Forsaken …
These scenes appeared and disappeared with the flashing fragments.
Until two stable doors of light appeared in front of her, one on the left and one on the right.
Queen Sylvie found Nozdormu standing in front of the two light doors. She was holding Duque's hand and hovering in the air on Duque's left. Sal was on Duque's right.
The three of them subconsciously stared at the light door, because it seemed like there was another world behind the door — the world of the future!
The image of the future was evolving at the speed of one day per second. Even so, the three of them immediately noticed a divergence.
One of the worlds quickly finished its evolution. It was the Azeroth that was quickly destroyed by Nesario, the Elemental Lords, and the Twilight Disciples. The land was desolate. There was not a single living plant. The ground was littered with the remains of dead humans and orcs. Tens of thousands of years of intelligent life had come to an end.
However, the other world seemed to have continued. Azeroth seemed to have been destroyed by the combined forces of Nesario and the four Elemental Realms. The Horde was also destroyed. However, a small number of the Alliance's elites began interstellar travel.
In the light door, the three of them saw Duque's figure. Duque was commanding the evacuation of the people and soldiers. Some boarded the Draenei's spaceships, while others evacuated directly to an unknown planet through the Dark Door. After that, the Burning Legion followed like shadows. Duque led everyone to fight and retreat. Although the end result was still destruction, they had at least held on for a hundred years.
Originally, the three of them wanted to see more, but who knew that Nozdormu would raise his hand. Cirvanas and Sal turned into streams of light and flew backward.
Forward was the future!
Backward was the past!
Nozdormu only left Duque behind.
"Do you know why I left you alone? Duke Marcus! "Nozdormu seemed very calm, be it his voice or his appearance.
Duque felt that this Bronze Dragon King seemed a little … excited?
"As the Guardian of Time! I have faithfully discharged my duties for twenty-five thousand years. Next, I will tell you a secret. I would not have said it until the end of the world. "
Duque suddenly felt a little nervous.
For the first time, Nozdormu's poker face, which had never changed for 10,000 years, showed an excited expression.
"As the Guardian of Time, whether it is the future or the past, everything is within my observation. In the first few years when I started to fulfill this duty, I was extremely excited. Because I could freely observe any part of the past or the future.
"The unknown past and future satisfied all my curiosity and desire to explore.
"Unfortunately, after a few hundred years, I got tired of it. I am the Guardian of Time, and any action that causes a large change in history has to be corrected by me.
"It is not that I have not tried asking for help from mortals to go back in time to correct history. Often, the price I have to pay is just the most insignificant equipment in my collection, such as [Excellent] or [Epic] grade equipment.
"As long as it does not affect the course of history, I do not care about any changes in the past or future. This is because the River of Time has a powerful corrective ability, and it is enough to correct most variables.
"However, a huge variable called [Duke Marcus] appeared. When I first found out that you changed history, I saw you as a tumor of time that must be removed. "
At this point, Nozdormu glared at Duque fiercely. Even an experienced person like Duque felt his heart palpitate.
Immediately after, Nozdormu's gaze softened.
"Indeed, I was prepared to observe you for a while before deciding whether or not to eliminate you as a 'variable'. Unfortunately, I found out that I was wrong. The 'River of Time' that I followed did not resist the changes that you brought. It seemed to accept everything that you did and was happy to see it happen.
"I could not accept this change. So before I took action, I decided to observe you personally.
"Then, I discovered something that shocked me. I knew from your reaction that you actually knew my future!"
When Nozdormu said this, Duque also felt a faint pain in his balls. As a transmigrator, of course, he knew that the fallen Nozdormu from the future was trying to disrupt the current point of time. Then, in the long river of time, the current Nozdormu and the fallen Nozdormu from the future started a war, and in the end, both of them perished.
