Titan-forged is a very unique Construct. In fact, when Titans produced the first batch of Guardians, it injected a completely free soul into them.

Those noble creatures born in the Great Dark Beyond believe that only a completely free soul can better derive the ideas to protect Planet, so the first generation Titan Keepers has various personalities.

For example, Tyr is so upright that there is simply no room for Sordidness. Because of this character, he has been away from Ulduar all year round, walking around the world.

Freya is freedom, so she travels all over the world to bless the beasts she loves, resulting in 99% of the Demigod in the world being inseparable from her.

Ra-den is loyal, and therefore, after receiving the news of Pantheon's destruction, High Guardians's emotions and will will collapse, and Y'Shaarj will take advantage of him.

Odyn... His character, if I have to describe it, is domineering.

He is very good at fighting, but can hardly tolerate the idea of opposing him. This is why after Ra-den collapsed, he fell out with Guardians of Ulduar, and finally chose to walk alone. He wanted to protect the Planet under his feet more than anyone else, but the method he chose was not recognized by other Guardians.

He does not trust Dragon Aspects’ Army recommended by Tyr. He wants to find a creature that is brave enough, loyal, and fights endlessly to form his own Burning Legion and defend the world in his own way.

He found, Vrykul... The original Vrykul was born in the chaotic era of fighting with Old Gods. At that time, they were still the glorious Titan-forged. The real Iron Vrykul, like Iron Dwarves and Iron Giants, belonged to Guardians. Burning Legion, they are attacking the minions of Chaos throughout the world. Their characters are like their bodies, as steely and unstoppable.

They finally won, sealed Old Gods, expelled Elemental Lords, and brought peace to the whole world, so Guardians sealed up the huge number of unactivated Iron Burning Legion, and then granted freedom to the existing Iron Army. After that, the mysterious Curse of Flesh came, and these Iron Burning Legion lost their steel bodies.

Vrykul is the race with the best preserved will, so Odyn chose them. Of course, the trouble encountered by the flesh-and-blood Vrykul is that when they die, their souls will enter Shadowlands. In order to solve this trouble, Odyn had to turn to his adopted daughter again, the powerful Vrykul Mage Helya.

As for how Helya and Odyn solved this problem later, and how they turned against each other, that is a long story.

In short, when Dick saw Odyn, who was exactly the same as in his memory, the story about Odyn kept floating in his mind. This is a guy who is difficult to define. Everything he did was to protect Azeroth, but his behavior did not seem so just.

He sat reclining on his Iron Throne, supporting his head with his left hand. He wore an eyepatch made of bright gems, and his intact eyes shone with the light of scrutiny. He wore a gold and silver horned helmet divided into six corners on the left and right, and there was a Valargar logo engraved on the front of the helmet. His beard is like hot lava, spreading in front of his body. Unlike other Vrykul, Odin wears a golden armor, decorated with red ribbons, and an iron belt made of three amber gems on his abdomen. He is at least 10 meters tall.

And next to the throne made of steel, right next to his hand, there was a Silver Lance leaning against it. The whole body was covered with mysterious patterns. It should be the legendary Gungnir and Spear of Judgment.

In the game, Odyn's weapons have not appeared, but Dick believes that as the leader of all Titan Keepers in wartime, it is impossible for Odyn not to have a weapon worthy of his status.

On his throne, two Black Raven Constructs, which were obviously made of machinery, stood on the edge of the throne, one on the left and one on the right. Legend has it that Odyn observed the changes in the world through the eyes of two Raven. This should be it.

On the left side of Odyn, a golden Val'kyr Warrior holding a radiant Longspear was observing Dick with her eyes under Winged Helm E, this Mortal looks like Weaklings, but he is so sad but has an aura that makes Eir unable to help but bow down and worship.

It is almost exactly the same as... the great Odyn, but has a slightly different atmosphere.

The breath of a superior.

Dick stood in the center of the luxurious red carpet under his feet. He looked at Odyn, beside him, in the Valarjar's broadest square, just as the Vrykul legend said, countless Spirit were feasting and drinking here, like a party that would never end.

But after Dick arrived, the originally lively banquet seemed a bit silent. All Spirit were guessing about Dick's identity. Who was that? How dare he stand in front of Odyn so arrogantly.

Only Gavincente, who was sitting at the front, knew the details of Dick. He had just participated in the last scene of the battle with Helya and killed more than a dozen Helarjar Necromancers. However, at this moment, Gavincente's good mood was somewhat spoiled by the sudden appearance of Dick.

However, the current situation was not suitable for Gavincente to stand up. After a few seconds, Odyn spoke,

"So, Lai still chose Mortal to inherit his responsibilities? Tsk, that's really weak."

Yes, this is not a Chief Steward that people like, but Dick knows that this is Odyn, the most real Odyn. He will only show kindness to those he acknowledges. Obviously, Dick has not been recognized by Odyn.

But it concerns Ra-den, and Dick is not allowed to retreat at this time. He responded expressionlessly,

"Actually, besides Master Ra-den, I have another mission... a mission that you have forgotten."

Dick raised his left hand, and the silver arm made Odyn's One-Eye squint. Of course, it was impossible for Odyn not to notice Tyr's arm, but he didn't He was willing to show his surprise in front of Mortal. Now, when Dick took the initiative to mention it, Odyn was not angry. He waved his left hand and pointed at the Spirit who were feasting.

"Look, this is my mission... I said that Dragon Aspects cannot be trusted. History has proven that my choice is correct. I said that the Mortal race is weak, and history has also proved this. Only Titan-forged who are absolutely obedient can save Azeroth... You can't!"

No one likes to be told no, and Dick is no exception. He raised his head again, with a hint of sarcasm on his face,

"Absolute obedience? Like Helya?"

As soon as these words were said, the whole Valarjar instantly became quiet, Golden Val'kyr Eir even strode out, Anger pointed at Dick,

"Enough! You are not allowed to mention that name here!"

"Who did you mention?"

Dick's smile became wider again, "Helya?"

"Madman!"

Eir, who was also over 5 meters tall, turned into golden Light and Shadow and rushed in front of Dick. She didn't lose her mind yet, she just held Fist tightly, wanting to teach Dick a lesson.

But the next moment, she found that her body could not move forward, not even Operation.

Paladin's left hand was pressed into the air about one meter in front of Eir, and Order Sigil flashed on his forehead. Although Golden Val'kyr was infused with Titanic Energy, their expressions were the same as Holy Light, and even the power fluctuations were almost exactly the same.

This should be the power given to Val'kyr by Odyn imitating Holy Light. However, using Holy Light to deal with Dick, and letting Holy Light attack its Avatar?

"No... you're using a power you don't understand at all."

Dick glanced at Eir with disdain, waved his hand gently, and Eir's huge body was thrown away and hit the ground awkwardly. Dick did not nod, and she could not even mobilize the Holy Light that made up herself.

The double suppression from authority and Holy Light caused Eir, this Golden Val'kyr's Val'kyr to hit its head on the carpet on the ground, just like the weakest Mortal, unable to even move its fingers.

"This is why you will never be as good as your former sister Helya... She controlled the power, and you were controlled by the power."

Dick turned his head and looked at Odyn in the complete silence, with a trace of questioning flashing in his eyes.

"Change somewhere?"

He asked, and Odyn took back the left hand supporting his head. He held the silver Longspear in his hand without sadness and joy, and tapped it on the ground. The next moment, the figures of the two people disappeared into the hall. When they reappeared, Dick and Odyn came to the Palace in the deepest part of Valarjar.

Odyn is still sitting on his throne, and does not seem to be angry because of Dick's provocation just now. As for Paladin, his arrogance has also restrained a lot. Odyn brought him here, which means that this willful Chief Steward has given him a chance, and he has to seize it.

If you are not as strong as others... then you will be defeated. Dick understands this.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Odyn put the Gungnir in his hand aside and looked at Dick with interest, "For Lai's sake, I am willing to give you a chance to have a fair conversation, but only this once!"

"I need Aegis of Aggramar. Only it can ensure that I will not be affected by Rules of Shadowlands, and can give me a little bit of counterattack power when facing Helya."

Dick said honestly, "Helya kidnapped my companions. I went to Shadowlands, but there... I could only escape by chance. I need help."

Paladin raised his head and said sincerely, "You happen to need help too. I think we can help each other."

"Wow, this is really Lion."

Odyn waved his hand noncommittally, "Let's not talk about it for now. You just said that I need help... why?"

"Because I know that the reason why you haven't left Halls of Valor for tens of thousands of years is because Helya and Loken teamed up to use Shadowlands's Rules to bind you here, Aegis of Aggramar cannot work against a powerful creature like you. Is there any way for others to confront Helya with it? Not even Heimdall. They lack the authority and strength to confront Helya."

Dick sat cross-legged on the ground and patted his left hand, "But I happen to have both of these, and the luckiest thing is, I have to go Ulduar... I have to go."

"Interesting... I don't care about your provocation against me, but I have to doubt... these insights are not something that a Mortal can possess."

Odyn touched his chin, and a flash of thought flashed through his One-Eye. Finally, he crossed his hands and looked at Dick condescendingly.

"Even I know that I was plotted against by the damn Loken and Helya... But Lai doesn't know that, so tell me... are you a person chosen by a certain Lord Titans to shoulder a special mission?"

Dick suddenly raised his head, looking at the serious look in Odyn's eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What I thought you didn't know... is Norgannon."

Odyn nodded clearly,

"Lei also thought I didn't know... But sometimes, he has to learn to destroy confidential documents instead of throwing them on the table. No wonder you said you were going to Ulduar, okay, let's not talk about it."

"As you can see, I am like Tiger trapped in a cage... I do need help, but I will not just believe a guy who talks nonsense, but... Since it is the will of Mr. Norgannon, I have to give you this opportunity, but it is not free!"

Odyn waved his hand, signaling Dick not to speak yet. He looked at him,

"If someone else made this request, I would let him go through my Trial first, and maybe make things difficult for him, but you don't need to! But you have to understand the meaning of Aegis of Aggramar to Valarjar... That's not just a symbol, the borders of Valarjar have been invaded by Rules of Shadowlands, so while you are holding Aegis of Aggramar, a replacement is needed..."

Odyn narrowed his eyes, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Dick nodded, "I know, the other World Pillar... Do you want Gorgonas Tidestone, or Eye of Aman'Thul?"

"If it's Shaper's Hammer, that's best, then World Pillar is also an offensive type..."

Odyn rubbed his chin, "If it's other auxiliary World Pillar, the more the better... If you can get them all, I can even open all the permissions of Aegis of Aggramar to you... You should know that that is the most suitable for you."

"Besides, with Helya's character, she probably doesn't have much time left for you."
