Chapter 470 Morgoth Appears
It was Morgoth who infiltrated the temple of Mandos.
After returning to the world of Arda from the Void, he did not make a big fuss, but instead quietly and secretly arrived in Valinor.
He first disguised himself as a Vanya elf and infiltrated the Valinor capital city of Verma to secretly gather information.
His disguise was so skillful that not only did the elves and the Maiar not notice anything amiss, but even the Valar were completely unaware.
Morgoth, lurking in the city of Verma, first saw the resurrected Two Trees outside the west gate.
After learning that the two sacred trees he had destroyed had been resurrected by Duir using time reversal, and after finding out about Duir's series of deeds and his defeat of the evil god Ugoliant, he became even more cautious in hiding.
He had been lying low in the city of Verma until the creation of the Underworld, which finally gave him his chance.
He disguised himself as a human undead recently summoned from Arda and followed the path of the dead to the Hall of Mandos.
And in the divine light that illuminates the true nature of the soul in the temple, he successfully deceived the divine light's detection and Maiah, who was in charge of judgment, and passed the examination as a person without sin, and then smoothly arrived at the Gate of Mourning.
The Hall of Mandos is merely a transit point for human souls; the innocent leave the world of Arda directly through the Gate of Mourning, heading to the unknown land of destiny.
But this Gate of Mourning only allows human souls to pass through; even someone as powerful as the Vera cannot pass through it.
But Morgoth showed no sign of worry; on the contrary, he was very confident.
He came to the Gate of Mourning, revealed his true form, and then opened his hand, revealing a human soul in his palm.
This soul is different from other human souls; not only are its eyes empty and it lacks consciousness, but it is also tainted by darkness and exudes an evil aura.
This is a soul that has been refined and transformed by Morgoth; it has long lost its intelligence and become a puppet.
Morgoth looked at the human soul in his palm, and without any change in expression, tore off a fragment of his own soul, then merged it into the human soul, reshaping it into a complete human soul.
At this moment, the human soul was no longer dazed; the originally empty eyes became lively, revealing an evil intent, just like Morgoth.
Morgoth spoke to the sentient soul in his hand: "You should know what to do?"
The soul in his palm nodded, a wicked smile of unbridled triumph on its face. "Of course, my true self, I will find the Land of Destiny and seize the Secret Flame!"
As he spoke, he floated out of Morgoth's palm and rushed toward the Gate of Mourning, disappearing behind the illusory door.
Morgoth frowned. The instant the soul entered the Gate of Mourning, his connection with the soul that could be considered an avatar was suddenly severed, as if that soul had vanished and no longer existed.
However, Morgoth was prepared for this in advance, and he did not believe that the soul had really disappeared, but was merely shielded by some more powerful force.
Morgoth, thinking this, looked up at the void, a cold smile on his face: "You think that by hiding the Secret Fire and placing it among those lowly and contemptible human souls, I won't be able to find it?"
He dared not utter Ilúvatar's name, fearing that it would be sensed and thus expose his scheme.
Countless black mists burst forth from his body, transforming into tens of thousands of human souls, all of which, like the previous souls, became empty and lifeless puppets.
These human souls were the lives that Sauron sacrificed to Morgoth in the past. Their souls became nourishment for Morgoth and became one with him.
Morgoth frowned slightly, and hundreds of thousands of soul fragments tore off, merging with the human souls, all of them becoming Morgoth's soul avatars.
Splitting so many soul fragments was clearly not good for Morgoth either; his aura became somewhat disordered, and his power weakened considerably.
However, Morgoth clearly thought it was worth it, and with a wave of his hand, all the human soul fragments that had merged with his soul fragments entered the Gate of Mourning.
Similarly, after these soul fragments entered the Gates of Mourning, they lost contact with Morgoth and disappeared without a trace.
But Morgoth was not in a hurry; instead, he waited quietly.
As time passes, the Underworld is also being perfected, and the Valar are about to return to Valinor.
But Morgoth remained expressionless, seemingly unconcerned about being discovered by the Valar.
Finally, Morgoth's eyes gleamed, and he suddenly stared straight at the Gate of Mourning.
The once calm and tranquil gate of mourning suddenly began to ripple and shimmer.
Ripples spread across the ethereal, mercury-like curtains behind the door, even swelling as if something were trying to emerge from behind it.
Morgoth's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he unleashed all his power to attack the Gate of Mourning.
With a deafeningly terrifying attack, the fortified Mandos Fortress was instantly razed to the ground by the immense force.
At the same time, the moment Morgoth attacked, Mandos in the underworld sensed it instantly.
His expression changed drastically, and he looked towards Valinor: "Oh no! Mandos is under attack!"
Before he could finish speaking, he swiftly teleported towards Valinor.
The other Vera also looked worried, as they too had sensed the powerful energy fluctuations.
Especially Manwë, the leader of the Valar, his face turned cold and his tone became heavy: "It's Melkor! He's broken free of his chains and returned!"
""
As the brothers of Li Sheng, Manwë was naturally very familiar with Morgoth's power and immediately recognized the attacker.
The other Vera looked serious upon hearing this.
They knew Morgoth's power all too well. If Morgoth hadn't been so greedy and scattered his power in an attempt to control the entire world, they would have had a very difficult time defeating him.
Now that Morgoth has broken free of his chains and returned, he must be stronger than ever before.
This made the Vera members very worried.
Manwyn immediately said to Duy, "Duy, no matter how fast we are, we can't stop Morgoth. Only your power of time can save this. Please stop Morgoth!"
"I understand!" Dui knew the matter was urgent, so he waved his hand and summoned the River of Time, stepped into it, and walked upstream in time.
He quickly traveled to the past and saw Morgoth attacking the Gate of Mourning with all his might.
He did not stop, but prepared to continue upstream to solve Morgoth's problem at its root.
But the next second, the river of time was stirred up, causing the unsuspecting Dui to be instantly squeezed out of the river of time and land at the point in time when Morgoth attacked the Gate of Mourning.
Morgoth met Dui's somewhat bewildered expression and sneered, "Didn't Manwë tell you that I can borrow a portion of the power of all the laws of this world? Even your power of time is no exception!"
Morgoth, as the most powerful Aenur created by Ilúvatar, did not possess a clearly defined and specific authority like the other Valar.
But this does not mean that he has no authority. Rather, the scope of his authority is that he can use all the power of the laws except for the Secret Flame unique to Ilúvatar!
Moreover, even Vera, who wields the authority over this law, cannot deprive him of his right to use it.
This is the unique authority and favor bestowed upon him by the creator god Ilúvatar.
Therefore, when Dui used the River of Time, Morgoth discovered it and used the portion of time power he could control to stop Dui from continuing to travel back in time.
