Chapter 412 Destroying the Ring
The Earth Ring, Kaya, released endless light, which burst out of the volcano and illuminated the dark clouds in the sky, transforming the evil Doomsday Volcano into a scene of golden, sacred light.
Immediately, all the dark creatures on the entire Doomsday Volcano felt the mountain beneath their feet begin to tremble, and the tremors became increasingly violent.
The agile dire wolves, demon wolves, and giant spiders all became terrified and agitated, frantically fleeing down the mountain for their lives.
Giant bats and crows in the sky fled rapidly out of the mountains.
Only the slow-witted Oak paused for a moment, then his face contorted in horror: "Is a volcano about to erupt?"
But no one answered its question. All the dark creatures on the mountain sensed something terrifying brewing inside the Doomsday Volcano, and they all fled frantically, fearing that if they were a step too slow, they would lose their lives.
Inside the Doomsday Volcano, Dui was exerting all his strength to activate the power of the Earth Ring, connecting the entire Doomsday Volcano and causing the mountain to shake.
As the mountain shook, countless boulders fell from above the crater, and the previously calm volcanic lava and fire became violent, as if a sleeping god of destruction was awakening.
Sensing danger, the fire demon let out a restless roar and frantically tried to climb out of the crater, but was blocked by Dui.
"Want to leave? Let's die together today!" Dui's face was pale and weak, but his aura was even stronger. His robes and clothes were already tattered, and his skin was burned all over.
But he seemed to feel no pain at all. He pushed the Earth Ring Kaya in his hand to its limit, unleashing its most powerful force without regard for the cost.
With a loud bang, the crater could no longer hold on and collapsed.
The collapsed mountainside, carrying immense force, crashed into the crater.
The fire demon, restless and terrified, tried to find a way to escape, but couldn't find a way out at all. Instead, it was smashed down by a huge rock.
Exhausted, Dui could no longer maintain the magic and fell freely from the sky.
But in the final moments, he mustered his last bit of strength, grabbed the Balrog as he fell, and despite the burning flames of the Balrog, summoned the Blazing Sword and plunged it into the Balrog's chest, falling with it into the earth's lava and flames.
The mountain then collapsed and crashed into the lava, blocking the volcanic lava outlet.
"No!!!" Sauron, who was rushing back to Mordor, cried out in a voice filled with terror, despair, and resentment.
First, the Eye of Sauron on the Baradur Tower flickered a few times as if the source of fire had been extinguished, and then went out completely.
Then the Ringwraiths in various places, also filled with resentment, all perished, their original rings completely losing their power, becoming ordinary rings with no more strength.
Sauron's spirit body also twisted and deformed above Mordor, eventually exploding.
The terrifying force of the explosion affected the entire vast region of Mordor, leveling all Mordor buildings, including Baradur Tower, and tearing apart the dark clouds that had covered the land of Mordor for thousands of years.
For the first time in a thousand years, the stars and moonlight shone upon the land of Mordor.
After a long period of silence, the collapsed Doomsday Volcano tore open the veil of the earth and then erupted with unprecedented force, flames shooting into the sky and then crashing to the ground like a falling meteorite.
The orcs, wargs, trolls, and others who had not yet escaped from under the volcano were all crushed to death by the dense lava.
The crimson magma, like an angry dragon imprisoned for millennia, surged forth from the crater, churning and licking the scorched earth of Gogolos. Wherever it went, rocks melted and vegetation instantly turned to ash.
Those Mordor creatures that couldn't escape were all swallowed up by the rushing lava.
Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli, who were still fighting the dark creatures beneath the volcano, saw the Ringwraiths suddenly vanish and knew their plan had succeeded, and they immediately showed expressions of ecstatic joy.
Upon witnessing the eruption of the Doomsday Volcano, spewing forth meteor-like lava that crashed down the mountainside, he immediately activated the key and left without hesitation.
The Portkey's destination is the gardens of Hogwarts Castle.
As soon as Aragorn and his companions appeared, they bumped into Frodo and Sam, who had been teleported back via a phoenix feather.
Meanwhile, Boromir, Méri, and Pippin were also waiting there.
Upon seeing Frodo and Sam, Aragorn immediately asked, "Frodo, did you throw the Ring into Mount Doom?"
Frodo shook his head. "We had already thrown the Ring down, but we didn't expect there to be a Balrog hiding in the volcano. It stole the Ring, but luckily Duir arrived in time to teleport us back and fought the Balrog himself!"
Frodo, unaware of what happened next, asked worriedly, "I wonder if Duir succeeded? If the Ring has returned to Sauron, that would be terrible!"
Aragorn reassured him hopefully, "We must trust Duir! Just before leaving Mordor, I saw the Nazgûl, who were fighting us, suddenly disappear, and Mount Doom erupted. Duir must have succeeded! Otherwise, the Nazgûl couldn't have just vanished like that!"
"Really? That's wonderful!" Frodo exclaimed excitedly.
Others are also very much looking forward to it.
Meanwhile, Gandalf, Elrond, Galadriel, and Glorfindel were filled with anxiety after Sauron escaped to Mordor.
Galadriel, using her powerful mental abilities, warned Duy from afar, hoping to destroy the One Ring before Sauron could return to Mordor.
Until one moment, they felt the three elven rings they were wearing suddenly lose their power. They were first shocked, then their faces lit up with joy.
The Three Rings of the Elves were forged based on the forging knowledge taught by Sauron, and are inextricably linked to the One Ring, with their power originating from and governed by the One Ring.
Only when the One Ring is destroyed will the power of the Three Rings of the Elves dissipate.
The only possibility that the Three Rings of the Elves have suddenly lost their power is that the One Ring has truly been destroyed.
Upon learning the result, the group was overjoyed.
With the One Ring destroyed, Sauron will also be destroyed, and the great enemy of Middle-earth will be gone.
The group quickly returned to Hogwarts to await Dui's return.
But a day passed and Dui still hadn't returned. Galadriel and the others tried to contact Dui telepathically, but received no response.
Full of worry, Arwen entrusted her two children to the care of her grandmother Galadriel, while she rode the Thunderbird Thorondo with Gandalf to Mordor to search for her husband Duir.
She was connected to her husband by soul, and although she did not know Duir's current situation, she knew that her husband was not in any danger.
Alvin searched tirelessly on the erupting Mount Doom, one day, two days, three days—but still couldn't find a trace of her husband. However, she didn't give up and believed that her husband was nearby.
Gandalf also joined the search and entrusted the Eagle Clan with the task of finding Duir.
Elrond, Glorfindel, and others formed an allied army, which included the elven armies of the Valley, Lorean, and Mirkwood, the human armies of Gondor and Rohan, the dwarven armies of Erebor, Moria, and the Iron Hills, as well as the Auror forces from Hogwarts, to wipe out the remaining evil forces.
The Allied army breached Morlannon, the gateway to Mordor, and then stormed into Mordor, wiping out the Orcs, Uruk, Trolls, Wargs, Dark Men, and others.
Finally, after the eruption of the doomsday volcano subsided, the volcano gradually became quiet, and the lava cooled and solidified.
Everyone could sense that the volcano was gradually dying, and perhaps in a few hundred or a thousand years, it would become an extinct volcano.
With the volcano dormant, Gandalf and his companions were able to get closer to the crater.
Gandalf, Elrond, and others were certain that Dui was inside the volcano and safe, but they were puzzled by his delayed appearance.
On the seventh day, the volcano, which had subsided, suddenly became active again.
