Brox used the last of his strength to hurl the black cleaver.
The black cleaver, forged from obsidian, was exceptionally sharp. Infused with Shadow Divine Power, it could easily cut through Sargeras's armor.
Sargeras hadn't expected Brox to retaliate in his dying moments, so he hadn't cast any protective spells.
Through a series of coincidences, the black cleaver wounded Sargeras's leg, momentarily distracting him.
Outside the portal, Illidan Stormrage shouted, "We can close the portal now!"
"Close it quickly!" Malfurion yelled.
"Don't you dare close it!" Maiev roared angrily.
She glared at Malfurion. If he dared to suggest closing the portal again, she would slit his throat.
"Close it!" Garrosh said in a deep voice.
"Garrosh?" Maiev looked at Garrosh in disbelief. She hadn't expected her brother to betray her at this moment.
Garrosh offered no explanation, but instead looked at Illidan Stormrage, "Close the portal now, this is King Gale's command!"
Everyone fell silent. Closing the portal now meant abandoning Gale. Although it was Gale's own order, they couldn't bear to do it.
However, if the portal wasn't closed, this war would continue. The allied forces had already suffered too many losses, and this world had lost too much; they couldn't drag it out any longer.
Illidan Stormrage, with a complex expression, cast a spell, "Attack the portal with full force!"
Everyone immediately launched attacks at the portal, aiming to destabilize it.
The next second, the portal gradually collapsed, and the energy from the Well of Eternity surged back, becoming extremely unstable.
"No--"
The allied forces stared in shock at the turbulent energy. If left uncontrolled, this energy would inevitably spiral out of control, leading to a massive disaster.
Metri, Lunden, and Mejia all used the energy of the pillars of creation to stabilize the Arcane Energy.
Mages also cast spells continuously, absorbing Arcane Energy to replenish themselves, and then casting more spells to soothe the chaotic energy.
However, their speed in stabilizing the energy was too slow. As more and more Arcane Energy surged back, they were no longer able to control it.
"Retreat!"
Garrosh shouted the order. If they remained there, everyone present would be torn to shreds by the rampant energy.
The collapsing portal generated a powerful suction force, making it difficult for the allied forces to move. This suction force was even more deadly to the demons within Sin'dorei; they were utterly unable to resist it, as it was a power from the Twisting Nether, their fundamental strength.
Just as they were being sucked into the portal, a rainbow flew out from within it and landed before everyone.
Everyone looked at Gale in astonishment, then erupted into deafening cheers: "King Gale is alive!"
"King Gale!" "King Gale!" "King Gale…"
The Kaldorei knelt on the ground, bowing to Gale. Even with the suction from the portal distorting their movements, they persisted in their greetings.
"Gale!"
Maiev flashed over and hugged Gale tightly, as if afraid he would vanish if she let go.
The brothers Ursol and Ursoc walked over and also bowed to Gale in greeting.
"Gale, thank you for saving Azeroth!"
The Bearman followed the two demigods' lead, kneeling and bowing to Gale.
The Tauren, Drogbar, humans, and Earth Spirit also bowed to Gale.
When Gale decided to sacrifice himself to close the portal, they had already held him in high esteem. Now that Gale had returned, they would renew their alliance and follow him.
Malfurion looked at Gale with a complex expression. He knew he would be unable to shake Gale's position.
Cenarius felt a pang of melancholy; his plan to transform the Kaldorei had failed.
Gale was just about to give a speech to display his kingly demeanor, but the violent energy behind him made him tremble with fear.
The portal had used all the energy of the Well of Eternity, and now all that energy was out of control. No wonder it could tear apart the Kalimdor continent! If this crisis wasn't resolved, it was likely that 70% of the Kalimdor continent would still sink into the sea. Most of this 70% of land belonged to the Kaldorei Empire, and would also be his territory.
Thinking of this, Gale disregarded the crowd and hastily blurted out, "Let's deal with this uncontrolled energy first."
He put away the eternal spear and took out the eternal holy grail.
He quickly mobilized the holy grail's energy to guide the turbulent energy. But compared to the raging energy, the holy grail's energy was still too little.
Even though he used the energy of Aggramar's Shield, he still couldn't calm all the energy.
Soon, the artificial well water inside the holy grail dried up, revealing a gem from within.
"This is?"
Gale was a little puzzled. Although the holy grail was a cup, its interior was a sealed space; there shouldn't be any foreign objects!
At this moment, he shouldn't have been distracted. But the gem was purple, clearly an Arcane-related gem.
The Arcane-related gems of Azeroth were arcane crystal. This gem was oval, not as angular as a crystal, clearly not a product of the world of Azeroth.
Could it be from the Twisting Nether? But Gale immediately dismissed the idea; he hadn't used the eternal holy grail in the Twisting Nether just now.
Then it must be from aluneth's world!
Gale instantly realized that if he directed this rampant energy to aluneth's Arcane world, wouldn't that solve the problem?
Thinking of this, he immediately took the gem out of the holy grail.
But as soon as Arcane was input into it, it vanished into the gem like a stone sinking into the sea.
Clearly, it had the ability to absorb Arcane Energy, and its absorption speed was incredibly fast, so fast that Gale didn't even react.
Isn't this the best tool to solve the current crisis?
Gale used Aggramar's Shield to protect himself, then flashed into the rampant energy. He held up the gem, and the surrounding turbulent Arcane Energy instantly found an outlet, surging madly towards the gem.
The gem accepted everything, like a bottomless pit.
Everyone looked at Gale with strange expressions. The energy that could have blown up Sin'dorei was resolved so easily by him?
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the portal completely closed. The unconsumed spatial energy instantly spilled outwards.
Gale used Aggramar's Shield to block in front, and Metri and others also quickly used the pillars of creation to protect the allied forces. As a result, the unconstrained Arcane Energy was carried by the spatial energy, spreading in all directions.
"Boom--"
A huge sound echoed between heaven and earth, and the Well of Eternity exploded with a roar.
The earth was torn apart. Except for the north, which was protected by the pillars of creation, the other three directions instantly collapsed, and groundwater poured in, forming a vast ocean.
Gale was dumbfounded. Had all his efforts been in vain?
