After trapping Toga, Hydross immediately turned and rushed towards Gonk.
Gonk didn't know what the beacon crystal was for, but anything Hydross was so desperate to get must be very important. Although he didn't understand the principle of "what the enemy wants to do, we stop it," he instinctively used his divine power and ran into the distance.
The two left the battlefield and began a chase among the mountains.
As Hydross left the battlefield, the Troll Army immediately charged the Pandaren's position. Under the leadership of the loa, the Pandaren suffered heavy losses. Monk Mo Lam had no choice but to order a retreat, allowing the Trolls to enter Mogushan Palace.
After a brief observation, he immediately sent people to the Great Wall training ground to request reinforcements. At the same time, he dispatched Cloud Serpent Knights to return to Qinglong Temple to request aid from August Celestial Yu'lon.
Soon, a loud bang erupted within Mogushan Palace, shaking the entire palace.
Master Maolin looked at the palace with concern. Although he didn't know what the Trolls and Mogu were doing, he had a very ominous premonition.
Soon, Master Maolin's premonition was confirmed.
Bang after bang, like the tolling of a death knell, heralded the end of life.
Hydross also heard the loud bangs, but he was conflicted: should he go back to stop the Trolls or continue chasing Gonk? If he returned to attack Mogushan Palace, he wasn't confident he could stop the Trolls before they achieved their goal. So, he decided to continue chasing Gonk.
He suddenly accelerated, getting as close to Gonk as possible, then raised the trident of the tides and threw it with all his might.
Gonk sensed danger and immediately pushed off the ground, dodging to the side. The trident of the tides plunged into a boulder, which exploded, and the flying debris struck Gonk, wounding him with its immense energy.
Hydross seized the opportunity and immediately cast a Frost Spell, freezing Gonk.
Gonk used his divine power to break free. Just as he was about to continue fleeing, the trident of the tides flew from the side and pinned him to the ground.
Hydross flashed over and snatched back the beacon crystal, "No matter what you want to do, you won't succeed."
Gonk's mouth was covered in blood, and he couldn't speak. But from his eyes, there was no sign of remorse.
Just then, a huge burst of energy erupted from the direction of Mogushan Palace. Black energy shot straight into the sky, even dispersing the mist above.
Master Maolin looked at the endless black energy, terrified: "Such powerful Sha, how could this be..."
The Pandaren were all terrified. For so many years, besides fighting the Mantis Shrimp, they had been fighting the Sha. Back then, Shao Hao, to protect his people, embarked on a journey of salvation. He and the Monkey King set out together, seeking the Four August Celestials. During this time, Shao Hao would always experience negative emotions, and the Monkey King created masks to help him get rid of his negative emotions. They buried the masks that absorbed negative emotions underground, and thus the Sha appeared.
The six Sha of doubt, despair, fear, violence, anger, and hatred were all sealed, only the Sha of Pride Shao Hao could not overcome. To deal with the Sha, Shao Hao gathered the best of the Pandaren and founded the Shado-Pan. After Shao Hao disappeared, the Shado-Pan temporarily led the Pandaren, which is why Master Maolin said he would report to the Shadow Master.
Sha can pollute nature. Any living creature that comes into contact with Sha is either dissolved or corrupted into an evil creature.
So much Sha in front of them could completely destroy the Vale of Eternal Blossoms—no, perhaps even all of Pandaria.
"It's terrifying..."
Hydross was stunned, "What is this?"
Gonk, however, laughed, "It finally succeeded."
The Sha that shot into the sky condensed together, transforming into a colossal black monster that roared at everything around it. It guided the Sha into the bodies of the Trolls and Mogu, who immediately mutated. Black bones grew within their bodies, making their already grotesque faces even more hideous.
The nearby loa and their kin retreated, naturally disliking the Sha and not wanting to side with the Trolls and Mogu in turning to darkness. They began to regret it, thinking that if they had known such a monster would be released, they would never have helped the Trolls.
The Primal Turtles were the first to withdraw. They went to Toga's side and angrily questioned him: "Is this the result you wanted?"
Toga broke free from the ice, already covered in wounds. But he ignored his injuries, simply looking at the monster of Sha with a complex expression.
"Zandalar wants to rise, this is the only way."
The Primal Turtles were heartbroken, "It's better if Zandalar doesn't rise."
They turned away from their god and walked towards the position of the "traitorous" Riptide Clan.
Hydross activated the beacon crystal, and the Rainbow Bridge descended through the sky full of Sha. Hydross watched Gale emerge from the Rainbow Bridge and said shamefully, "Your Majesty, I failed to prevent the disaster."
Gale looked at the land polluted by Sha. This must be the Vale of Eternal Blossoms! He didn't expect it to still be unable to escape its fate here. What surprised him even more was that the azeroth heart could actually break the mist set by Shao Hao.
It must be said, it's truly a karmic cycle!
However, Gale looked at the Trolls and Mogu polluted by Sha. What exactly did these guys want to do by releasing the azeroth heart?
"Your Majesty, these guys..."
"Nothing to fear!" Gale raised his hand, the eternal spear summoned the Rainbow Bridge, which descended before the Pandaren and Primal Turtles.
Hydross introduced to the Pandaren: "This is my father, Gale Morninglight, the monarch of the Kaldorei Empire."
The Pandaren bowed, amazed by Gale's strength and filled with hope of defeating the Sha.
Master Maolin said, "Your Majesty Gail, now that Sha has filled the entire Vale of Eternal Blossoms, we must eliminate it as soon as possible, otherwise all of Pandaria will be destroyed."
Gale chuckled, "Don't worry, things are not as bad as you imagine."
Master Maolin said urgently, "Your Majesty, perhaps you don't understand the seriousness of the situation."
Gale smiled and looked at the Primal Turtles beside him, "Do you know if the Trolls have any other conspiracies?"
Other conspiracies?
The Pandaren looked at Gale in confusion. Wasn't releasing the Sha the Trolls' goal?
The Riptide Clan members looked at each other and shook their heads, saying, "Respected Majesty, we have been away from the Zandalar Troll for some time and are not clear about their situation."
Gale was a little disappointed. The Zandalar Troll were not Garrosh Hellscream; they wanted to conquer the world and reshape the Troll Empire, not destroy the world. They were well aware of the dangers of Sha and would not release the azeroth heart without good reason.
Just then, a large group of Primal Turtles rushed over, "We might know something."
The Primal Turtles walked to Hydross and knelt on the ground.
"God of the Sea, please forgive our foolishness. We helped the enemies who destroy nature. Please punish us."
