Chapter 346

The Asgardians let out a thunderous roar, led by King Odin, charging into the halls of Ulduar and beginning to fight these Titan constructs.

Some low-level iron constructs were created using the Titan technology origin furnace; these monsters had no power to resist before the Asgardians.

After all, the Asgardians are a top-tier race that has waged war across the universe, so dealing with these iron constructs is no problem.

Moreover, the Four Warriors of the Celestial Palace, along with Thor and others, possess immense divine power.

These Titan beings forged from iron and stone—we have encountered similar things before, so dealing with them is effortless.

On the other side, Luode was not idle either; he directly split into countless hidden clone armies, then summoned a massive wooden puppet and began to unleash various chakra ninjutsu.

In just a few dozen minutes, Luode and the others cleared out the powerful iron beasts and even Ignis, all defeated by the Asgardians.

Odin led his army from the outer halls of Ulduar directly into the inner sanctum, beginning to face the Iron Council.

These people were once the ancestors of the Iron Wardens, Iron Dwarves, and Iron Giants. They were not affected by the flesh curse, still being the original Titan life, but had been corrupted by the will of the Old Gods and now completely abandoned their masters.

Aside from a few guardians, these people were no match; they were quickly defeated, and the group proceeded directly into the inner part of Ulduar.

Under the leadership of Thor, Odin, and Luode, the Asgardian army successively defeated the Titan constructs Kolonagan and Orleia.

These Titan constructs were not guardian-level beings, but they still possessed immense strength, which ordinary Asgardians could not resist.

But before Thor's hammer and Odin's eternal spear, they were nothing; after defeating the Iron Council and two powerful Titan constructs, the group continued forward.

Inside the halls of Ulduar, signs of Old God corruption began to appear; many Titan iron constructs had become corrupted, their bodies afflicted with the flesh curse, sprouting various grotesque and misshapen growths.

Even dark creatures like those in Tyr's Tomb appeared—black shadow demons and black tentacles stretching from underground, then beginning to attack the group.

When these black tentacles attacked, they carried a hint of terrifying sound, as if someone were whispering in your ear; many Asgardians felt this and covered their heads.

"Stop advancing, warriors; the situation ahead is not right—this city is severely corrupted." Odin, face grim, raised a fist to halt all Asgardian soldiers at the outskirts.

In his divine sense, there was a powerful and evil presence deep within the palace's lowest level; moreover, this strange entity emitted waves of whispering voices, like a demon's voice.

"There are two branch areas here: the Stone Hall and the Lightning Hall; both need to be assaulted by us." Luode spoke.

In the Ulduar dungeon, there is no Luo Ke; he is in the Lightning Hall, but the truth is, from Ulduar's inner hall, one can also go to the Lightning Hall to defeat this guy.

"Thor! You take the remaining warriors to defeat this guy called Luo Ken; I sense his strength is not strong." King Odin nodded and immediately issued the order.

The upcoming battle will be extremely difficult; he does not want his son Thor to participate, nor even ordinary Asgardian soldiers to qualify for this war.

The following entities possess immense strength—far beyond what others can contend with.

"Thor, I will send a wooden clone to follow you; though it is not as strong as my true form, it is still quite formidable." Luode spoke.

After all, he is the root cause of arrogance and corruption; Luo Ken, this guy, Luode still decided to take seriously.

"Understood! Father, and Luode, you be careful." Thor nodded, swung his hammer, and led the remaining Asgardian soldiers out of the inner hall toward the other Lightning Hall.

At this moment, only three people remained: King Odin, the Goddess of Death Hela, and Luode.

"Be careful, Luode, and my daughter; I sense that the presence below is immensely powerful and its power is very strange." King Odin spoke with a solemn expression.

"Indeed, the opponent possesses immense spiritual power, capable of unconsciously controlling other beings, and uses a kind of mental corruption ability." Luode explained to Odin and his daughter what the Old Gods actually are.

In the Warcraft universe, the Old Gods are modeled after the Old Ones; these Cthulhu mythos gods are all madmen and perverts, skilled in mental attacks. (Note: this is not referring to outer gods, whose power far exceeds that of the Old Ones.) "Even if they are powerful, they cannot affect King Odin, right? My father?" Hela gave her father a half-smile and said.

Come on! Others may not know Odin's power, but she could not be unaware? Moreover, her own father's strength now surpasses even his prime.

"Don't be careless, Hela; I taught you this long ago—let's go! My children! We go together to face that evil." Odin waved his eternal spear, leading the way downward. (Because the protagonist has already married Odin's daughter, strictly speaking he is Odin's son-in-law and half-son, so he will call Luode "child.") The Old Gods' servants are very strong, but before Luode, Odin, and Hela, they are utterly inadequate. The group quickly reached the inner palace, at the guardians' position; their first guardian to face will be Hodir.

As soon as they stepped into the room, a chill swept over them, and frost formed under their feet.

"The northern wind will devour you!"

This is a towering frost giant, originally a Titan guardian, but now become a claw of the Old God Yogg-Saron.

Upon seeing Hodir, Odin even felt a strange sense of familiarity—could it be mistaken?

This person's appearance is simply that of a frost giant, through and through, except his body is forged of iron.

Upon seeing the opponent, Odin even thought he saw his old enemy Laufey.

"This guy is also a frost giant, though created by the Titans, wielding great frost power." Luode said, then clapped his hands together.

Then he summoned a massive wooden dragon, which directly bound this frost giant forefather tightly; then the mighty wooden dragon instantly began to devour his stamina and all energy within his body.

Instantly, this Titan guardian was slain.

"I, I have finally escaped his grasp—is it you? My brother, Great Guardian Odin, is it you? My brother, have you also been cursed by his flesh?" Hodir, after being enriched by Luode.

Immediately came to his senses, then looked toward King Odin, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Same single eye, same imposing presence, same appearance—just like the Great Guardian Odin in his memory.

The only difference is that in his memory, the Great Guardian Brother Odin was entirely forged of iron, while this man before him is of flesh and blood.

Could it be, could it be that even the greatest guardian has been infected by the Old Gods! Turned into their claw?

Great Titans, where are you? Why, after over ten thousand years, do you not answer our call? "Hahaha! Interesting things have come, my father, I have long awaited this moment—do you know?" Hela instantly revealed a gleeful expression, smirking at Odin.

Having spent half a year in Azeroth, Hela certainly knows some things, such as her father's isotopic counterpart, this world's Guardian Odin.

"Mighty warrior! I am not your brother, though my name is also Odin, but I think you have mistaken the person." Odin sighed, approached Guardian Hodir, raised his eternal spear, and prepared to end him completely.

"Wait! I have already broken free from Yogg-Saron's control; now I can help you fight! I will grant you the guardians' blessings, aiding you in slaying that Old God." Hodir, seeing Odin about to kill him, immediately spoke.

"Are you kidding? I've been beaten to the point of having no power to fight back, and the Old God's image has already vanished—why kill me?"

"Wait, King Odin, do not kill them yet! Earlier, we fought because they were influenced by the Old God's power; now that power has receded, they have returned to being guardians." Luode spoke.

Earlier, he too had planned to kill these guardians, but Sargeras told Luode, you cannot do this, for if all Titan guardians are killed.

Then the planetary guardians of Azeroth will activate the origin furnace's reset, resetting all of Azeroth, and even he cannot stop it.

So these Titan guardians can now only be left in a weakened state to rest here properly; wait until years later, when your strength is sufficient, or after Azeroth is born, you can easily dispel their shadows.

"We Titan guardians have been controlled by Yogg-Saron for years; I need time to recover strength, but I can give you some blessings and then help you fight." The frost giant Hodir, after being freed, sat in his own seat and spoke.

"No need, Titan guardians—just stay here and guard! Your strength is too weak now; stay here and rest properly." Luode finished speaking, waved his hand, and led Odin and Hela three together deeper into the palace.

"May you succeed in destroying the evil below; no matter what, you must defeat him! Otherwise, the Observer Algalon will activate that device, resetting all of Azeroth."

"I know, rest assured! Algalon will not activate that device, and Yogg-Saron will not leave his cage."

Next, the three arrived at a vast iron palace, beginning to face the next Titan guardian, Thorim.

"What are you people? Who let you enter this sacred hall?"

"Torim, my Majesty, these people have invaded your sacred hall, and they have come to kill you.

Do they have any other intentions? You must stop them, for your master!" A graceful female voice echoed in the hall.

"You are right, Sif. Face my storm power! Invaders!" The massive storm giant rose to his feet, looking at Luode Odin and Hela.

The condition of each storm giant is very wrong.

"This guy! This guy! He reminds me of Thor." Looking at the steel giant before him, holding a huge hammerhead, tall in stature, wrapped in storm.

Odin spoke somewhat dazedly.

Luode, beside him, suppressed a laugh, isn't that right? In Ulduar, a whole bunch of dungeon bosses, all referencing your Norse mythology, and even this Torim's wife is Sif.

"Hahaha! Thor previously thought the Vrykul king of Storm fjord was his counterpart, but actually, this guy before us is." Hela spoke.

That Vrykul king Hela has also seen, although long-lived, he cannot compare to Thor the Thunder God. This storm giant before us, wielding storm and lightning power, indeed resembles Thor closely; he is Thor's true counterpart.

Hearing this, Odin was somewhat dazed, so will Thor finally marry Sif? And my son, his counterpart in this world, turns out to be my brother! Truly absurd.

However, the woman speaking now is not his wife, but Yogg-Saron.

"No need to waste effort, Yogg-Saron; soon I will enter your palace and then tear you apart limb from limb." Luode spoke.

What's the rush! Yogg-Saron director! We have plenty of time, let's play slowly!

"You, you are Odin? My brother! Is it you?

You have finally returned, returned to this Titan's palace." Obviously, Torim also mistook him like Hodir before, taking the entering Odin for the Great Guardian.

"I'm too lazy to explain again." Odin coldly snorted, the eternal spear in his hand bursting with golden light, then he flung out the great eternal spear, directly piercing this Titan guardian's body, pinning him to the wall.

When Odin struck, he already held back, merely piercing his chest, not completely destroying this Titan guardian! After being instantly killed by Odin's blow, Torim also returned to normal, freeing himself from Yogg-Saron's control.

"Are you clear-headed now?" Luode stepped forward, looking at the instantly killed Torim, and asked.

"I've come to my senses, who are you? You resemble my elder brother Odin greatly, but you are not the same person." Torim nodded at Luode, then turned to gaze at King Odin, a flicker of doubt in his eyes. "I am also called Odin, but I am the God-King of Asgard, and I am not your great guardian here." Odin slammed his eternal spear hard onto the ground and spoke.

"No matter who you are! This is no longer important! Now please save this world! This world is in crisis.

The ancient evil god once sealed by the Titans is now escaping his prison; once he breaks free, all of Azeroth will be destroyed.

The Observer Algalon will activate a device that will annihilate everything in this world, please help, warriors! Also, please stop them!" Torim spoke.

"Rest well here! After I completely defeat Yogg-Saron, I will still need you guardians to stop Algalon, so he does not activate the planetary reset device." Luode spoke.

"Don't worry, this is my mission; even if you don't say so, I will do it anyway, come on!

Let me give you some blessings, so your path forward may be smoother; High Gonaeus shall bestow your thunder power upon me, so I may aid these warriors." Torim's hands shimmered with storm power.

He was about to bless Luode, Odin, and Hela three, but he clearly forgot how he himself was just instantly killed by Odin's blow; with your strength, you also want to bless Odin.

Then the scene became awkward, for Torim's blessing did not fall upon the three, because his strength differs greatly from theirs.

"Hahaha! It seems I was overenthusiastic; your strength is great, you will surely be able to destroy Yogg-Saron." Torim rubbed his head and spoke.

"When I have time, I will let Thor come over; he is my son, and he resembles you greatly, he also commands thunder and storm power, I think he should be able to learn something from you." The God-King Odin said, then left together with Luode from Torim's palace toward the next palace.

The storm and lightning power on this Titan guardian made Odin glance sideways; if his son Thor the Thunder God were to come, he should be able to learn much from this guardian.

The third Titan guardian's palace is a realm of life, where dwells the mighty life guardian Freya.

This is a beautiful female guardian. She sits at the center of a lovely flower garden; her palace is a verdant expanse, full of vitality, and Luode can feel from here the mighty primal life force.

The primal life force controlled by this female Titan guardian is even higher than that of the semi-wild.

Here there are three towering treant elders possessing great life force; Luode's mighty life force and wood escape technique instantly awakened them.

"We, we have escaped that guy's clutches, warrior! Please save our master."

"Please, save Lady Freya!" The awakened treant elders began to plead.

Hearing this, Odin was somewhat dazed, well! Ahead is my enemy, the frost giant old Phil, then the storm giant whose ability and appearance are very like my son Thor.

Now it's good, directly my old wife, this name is obviously his namesake.

Is this place really called Ulduar? Why not rename it Asgard Heavenly Palace?

Soon the trio arrived at a canyon, where a beautiful woman over twenty meters tall, with bronze-cast skin and a head of lovely gray hair, stood here, her whole body emanating mighty life force.

"You dare intrude into my garden! This place shall be your burial ground."

"Although the name is the same, she is clearly not my wife." Looking at the female giant forged entirely of steel before him, Odin shook his head and spoke.

Although she possesses mighty life force, she is utterly unlike his wife, and furthermore, her husband seems also not to be Odin.

"Come to your senses, life guardian! You should not serve the ancient evil god." Luode instantly summoned a wood giant even larger than Freya, then seized this guardian in his hand.

His eyes also transformed into the state of the Samsara Writing Wheel Eye, beginning to help her break free from Yogg-Saron's control; Azeroth has said, among these Titan guardians, if one can be won over and join their camp, then this one must be Freya.

This female Titan guardian who governs the life attribute is the discoverer of the Emerald Dream, and furthermore constructed various facilities within the Emerald Dream; her aid to Azeroth is still immensely great!

"Ah! Get out of my mind, evil ancient god!" Freya suddenly clutched her head, a pained expression as she knelt to the ground.

Luode's wood giant suddenly sprouted four wood dragons from its body, then directly bound this female Titan guardian, beginning to drain her power.

After a moment, the corrupting power was purged, this female Titan guardian's eyes returned to azure, restoring the luster of order.

"I, I have recovered, I have recovered my reason once more, thank you, mighty Wild God! And you! You are! Great Guardian Odin! Is Hela your child?" Freya first thanked Luode, then turned her gaze to Odin and Hela, father and daughter.

Being called a child, Hela's expression changed instantly, no way! Could it be, could it be that this Titan guardian also has some relation to this world's Odin? My counterpart might very well be his daughter.

"No, no, you, you are not my brother, Odin, although you look very much alike, you are of flesh and blood! And you, Hela, you, you are still normal, you have not been turned by Odin into that ghostly state." Freya looked kindly at the death goddess Hela and spoke.

"Wait, you, you know me, I also have a counterpart in this world?" Hela, who had been laughing at her father's jokes, instantly stopped laughing.

What the hell, now even I am not spared, are the Asgard divinities not letting anyone off?

You lot here, from now on, why not just call it Asgard?

"We are not from the same world; I am an existence from another world.

I am the Odin of another world, and she is the Hela of another world, she is my daughter." The God-King Odin sighed helplessly and spoke.

"So that's it, I apologize for mistaking you, but I believe you come with a righteous goal, so please save this world, drive out its evil!" Freya spoke.

"We will do so, may I ask? What exactly has befallen this world? Why have I never heard of her before? What has befallen this world's Hela?" The death goddess Hela spoke.

"I'm so sorry! You in this world have suffered a lot of torment, Odin did not respect your thoughts, he did terrible things to you, I, I'm so sorry, child." Freya hesitated to speak at this moment.

"Or let me say it! You should ask my Hela about this, the Odin of this world does not believe in the power of the guardian dragons or other natives of Aeglir.

So he secretly wanted to build an army, an army that would completely and utterly obey his command, so he sacrificed an eye, observed the things in the Shadow Realm, then stole the method of advancement from the Shadow Realm's advancement fortress, and created a creature called Vargri.

And he sacrificed his own foster daughter to make Hela the first Vargri, and then he turned all his countless foster daughters, the Vrykul, into Vargri." Luode spoke out everything Odin had done in the world of Azeroth.

Before crossing over, judging from the latest 10.0 storyline, it is highly likely that we can infer that if a Titan Keeper were to come in again in the future, then this great Keeper Odin would certainly be the first to enter without hesitation.

"Hehe! Father, it seems we don't get along well even in another world! I won't be your foster daughter either! Just like that Loki." Hela looked at her father, the Allfather Odin, and asked.

"I will not do this to you, Hela, you know this in your heart.

And we are indeed biological father and daughter, the Asgardian divine power on you cannot be faked." The Allfather Odin shrugged helplessly and said.

Since entering Ulduar, they have encountered all kinds of strange and weird things, and they don't know what situation Thor is in now.

At this moment, deep in the Hall of Lightning, Thor Thor led the Asgardian army all the way forward victoriously, defeating countless steel constructs and the minions of the Old Gods.

They arrived at the deepest part of the Hall of Lightning and saw the Titan Keeper Loken sitting on the throne, tall and imposing.

"Die, monster! Today is your doom." Thor Thor raised his Mjölnir and shouted loudly.

"Thorim! No, no, that's not right, you are not Thorim, but you seem like him." Loken looked at Thor Thor with a face full of surprise.

However, Loken's gaze was instantly caught by a figure beside Thor Thor, that head of beautiful golden hair, those resolute eyes.

So alike! Truly so alike! At this moment, Loken seemed to see hope, to see Yogg-Saron's wish, the woman he deeply loved, after more than ten thousand years, appearing once again before him.

"My beloved Sif, my dearest Sif, you, you have finally appeared? I can feel your power is you, it must be you.

Although you are now this mortal flesh and blood, it doesn't matter, I will pray to the master.

I will make the master also turn me into flesh and blood, so we can be together, let that bastard Thorim go to hell!" Loken looked at Sif with a face full of infatuation.

Hearing this, the Asgardians and Thor Thor all looked at Sif with great doubt.

What's going on? Why would they mistake Thor Thor for Thorim, and then mistake Sif for another Sif? "What nonsense are you talking?" The Sif beside him picked up her shield and spoke doubtfully.

"Damn Thorim! You appear and I feel disgust, your existence is the greatest sin, I want to destroy you, I want to tear you apart." Loken, without restraint, roared loudly at Thor Thor, as if Thor Thor and he had some deep grudge.

"Hey, buddy! I don't know you at all, why do you have such a grudge against me?" Thor Thor spoke somewhat speechlessly.

"That guy called Thorim is your true counterpart. He has a wife, also named Sif, equivalent to your counterpart Sif.

And this guy called Loken took a liking to Thorim's wife Sif, and started having an affair with Sif, alright! That's how it is." Luode's clone roughly recounted the events between Loken and Thorim.

"You bastard, you bastard, you stole my Sif again! I want to take her back, I want to take Sif back."

After hearing the whole process, Thor Thor's mouth twitched, got it wrong?

My counterpart in this world, isn't it the king of the Vrykul of Stormfang Bay?

And I even married Sif, and inexplicably a love rival appeared, the counterpart's wife Sif inexplicably had an affair with the enemy.

"I will kill you, Thorim."

Loken finished speaking and stood up from his chair, swinging his fists to strike Thor Thor.

His eyes were filled with rage, as if he wanted to tear Thor Thor apart! But although Loken's movements were very large, his combat power disappointed Thor Thor, this big guy's strength is strong, but he can't touch me at all, while my Mjölnir can smash his body into pieces.

Luode also directly summoned a giant wooden man, then trapped Loken directly, Thor Thor raised his hammer high, gathered a large amount of lightning power, and with one blow shattered Loken's head into powder.

"Say it again, I fucking am not Thorim! And fix your weird fetish already! Your guy is a steel giant, how did you guys even develop feelings?" Thor Thor looked at the already shattered and dead Loken with a disgusted face and said.

So! Am I Thor's legitimate wife? Sif thought thoughtfully in her heart.

"Alright, the matters in the Hall of Lightning are settled, let's go! Now we proceed deeper into Ulduar."

"No, no, for the upcoming battle, we remaining people will not participate." Luode's clone shook his head and said.

Joking, Yogg-Saron's mental attack, now only my true self, and Odin and Hela can be 100% immune to it. (End of chapter)
