Traveling through the game world

Despite the Lich King Ner'zhul possessing the near-invincible and terrifying trump card, the Frost Colossus, the three dreadlords still decisively chose Arthas as their new vassal.

Firstly, the fundamental reason the Lich King is the Lich King is that he can control the Scourge to wage war. In other words, the Lich King is the Lich King because of the invincible Scourge. From this perspective alone, Ner'zhul and Arthas are merely at opposite ends of a scale.

The second point is the Lich King's own strength. Without a doubt, Ner'zhul's individual combat power is far more terrifying than Arthas's. However, it's important to know that Arthas never fought alone. He was surrounded by the most terrifying Lich Kings and a formidable team of demigods. As for Ner'zhul, his remaining forces, apart from Anub'breo, seemed to consist of only a few hero-level liches. His fighting strength was practically exhausted.

In war, especially interdimensional war, victory is never determined by who possesses overwhelming combat power. If individual strength were truly crucial, Sargeras's physical body would not have been destroyed in ancient times. Remember, there is no truly eternally invincible being in this world; only a united team is the key to eternity.

In this respect, Arthas has already surpassed the Lich King Ner'zhul by leaps and bounds, so it's only natural that the three dreadlords would choose to pledge their allegiance to Arthas. As for Kijaldan's punishment? Sorry, Ner'zhul has already lost, and the Nathrezim have no obligation to sacrifice themselves for their pawns.

"Human, you don't understand what kind of being you are provoking. Do you really think that stealing half of my spiritual power is the same as gaining half of my strength?" Ner'zhul's voice was cold and gruff, and it was not pleasant to hear.

Arthas shook his head and said calmly, "How could that be? After all, you are an ancient being. How could you receive such a low evaluation? In fact, we still believe that you possess incredibly terrifying power."

While for most spirits, trouble arises when the soul surpasses the body, this never happened to the Lich King Ner'zhul, who never had a physical body.

Because the Lich King Ner'zhul is now essentially just a spirit, and in fact, it is precisely because he has broken free from the constraints of his physical body that his spiritual power has evolved to be even stronger. At least according to Lian Yang's guess, he is still at the demigod level.

"I truly envy you young people. When I was young, I was just like you, full of vigor and drive!" The Lich King Ner'zhul looked at Arthas's resolute eyes and said with a look of nostalgia, "But times have changed, or rather, the world has become too complex. Even Kijaldan is not someone you can handle. Of course, although I am not as powerful as Kijaldan, I think burying you all together is the least I can do for you!"

"Alright, let's fight, Varimathras. You're in charge of eliminating all the Crypt Demons and some other annoying things!" The task Lian Yang assigned to Varimathras was mainly to cooperate with Lian Yang in the decapitation plan.

"Die!" The Lich King Ner'zhul was furious to see that he had been ignored. Without saying a word, he drew Frostmourne, an enlarged version of the Colossus, and slashed it at Lian Yang.

The Lich King Ner'zhul's sword was enormous, and the wind it generated was terrifying; its sharp sword aura seemed capable of piercing through any defense and causing damage at any moment.

"Ner'zhul, you really think I can't do anything to you, huh!" Lian Yang looked at the towering statue of the Frozen Throne and chuckled, "Mech, come out."

For a moment, everyone stared in disbelief at Lian Yang. Putting everything else aside, the mere sight of a metal giant, also a hundred meters tall, was enough to excite everyone.

"What is this thing!" The Lich King Ner'zhul, despite his vast knowledge, had never seen a Gundam before. He immediately wondered, "This thing looks a bit like a goblin logging robot, and also a bit like some technological products of the dwarves. What on earth is this thing?!"

"This thing is called a mecha. Actually, its function is very simple: it's an excellent tool for enhancing combat capabilities." As Lian Yang spoke, he leaped up and stepped into the control bay of the Hope-class mecha.

Lian Yang casually flipped on the mecha's switch and said indifferently, "Ner'zhul, it seems you're not the only one who can grow to gigantic size!" Although the Hope, as a natural human mecha, is relatively short, it is still a steel giant standing a hundred meters tall. Putting aside everything else, at least compared to the Lich King Ner'zhul, their heights are about the same. With its full set of armor, it looks much more imposing than the Lich King Ner'zhul.

"Hope, battle initiated!" In the cockpit, Lian Yang casually drew his demonic sword, Apophis, and a super-huge demonic sword, Apophis, immediately materialized on the outside of the mecha.

"Phew! This is much fairer now. It's a war of giants against giants!" Lian Yang, holding the demon sword Apophis, stepped forward and unleashed a single attack. In an instant, with blood energy surging, he struck the Lich King Ner'zhul.

The surging blood energy struck the Lich King Ner'zhul, and violent magma instantly erupted beneath his feet. Without a doubt, this was the Berserker's ultimate move, Earthshattering Slash.

"Damn it! Take this!" The Lich King Ner'zhul suffered a minor setback in the first exchange, especially since it was almost unavoidable. Naturally, Ner'zhul was extremely unwilling and, without saying a word, immediately launched a deadly counterattack.

"Only a fool would stand still and take a beating, Triple Slash!" Lian Yang was well aware of his role. If he were to fight head-on, he would be no match for the veteran demigod Lich King Ner'zhul.

Moreover, Lian Yang was even more aware that the Mountain-Shattering Slash, an attack with a trace of fire attribute, was practically the Lich King Ner'zhul's natural nemesis. Once this skill was used to attack the Lich King Ner'zhul, although the effect was significant, the amount of aggro it would generate would be absolutely massive.

"Frost Roar!" The Lich King Ner'zhul was too lazy to chase after Lian Yang, who was trying to escape. He opened his mouth and launched a deadly sword aura, fiercely attacking Lian Yang.

The frigid frost-like sword energy, carrying sharp blades, struck Lian Yang in a single exchange.
