Looking at the land and sky before him, and the towering tower standing between heaven and earth, Jiang Jie had the illusion of looking at skyscrapers on Earth.
No, not even the tallest and most magnificent skyscrapers on Earth inspire as much awe as any of the towers here.
Because these towers are Titans structures, they are temples, temples of the Titan Keepers.
Temple of Storms, Temple of Life, Temple of Winter, Temple of Order.
Each temple towers higher than the surrounding mountains, far surpassing the heights of towers and skyscrapers on Earth; even the shortest exceeds a kilometer.
The highest temple, the Temple of Storms, stands atop the mountains and amidst the clouds, reaching thousands of meters in height. It is the tallest of all Titans structures and the highest peak in the entire Storm Peaks.
The temple still stands, but most of the Titan Keepers are gone.
Tyr, the Lord of Order, is dead. Freya, the Lifewarden, and Hodir, the Lord of Winter, are trapped deep within Ulduar. Only Thorim, the Lord of Storms, remains atop the Temple of Storms, enduring tens of thousands of years of torment.
Jiang Jie knew why.
Years ago, Loken fell in love with Thorim's wife, Sif, but Sif refused to leave Thorim. Under Yogg-Saron's influence, Loken killed Sif.
Yogg-Saron then conjured Sif's spirit and urged Loken to pin the blame for Sif's death on Arngrim, the Ice Giant King.
Thorim waged war against the Ice Giants, ultimately killing Arngrim and a large number of Ice Giants.
Loken seized the opportunity to condemn Thorim.
Thorim believed that his actions had disrupted the unity among the Titan-forged, and filled with remorse, he eventually returned to the Temple of Storms, where he has endured his torment alone ever since.
Everything was caused by Loken, but ultimately, the real culprit was Yogg-Saron.
To this day, Thorim is still unaware of this.
Jiang Jie didn't intend to tell him personally, because he knew he wouldn't believe Jiang Jie.
But there's one person whose words Thorim would definitely believe.
Suddenly, a golden light burst forth from the clouds, and a divine temple slowly flew in.
Halls of Valor.
After dealing with the matters of the Helheim, Odyn led all the Val'kyr and Valarjar, aboard Halls of Valor, to fly above the Storm Peaks.
Jiang Jie did not go to see Odyn, but waited in the distant Temple of Life.
I waited a long time.
Then two beams of light suddenly appeared and descended upon the very top of the temple.
Odyn has arrived.
A giant of similar size stood beside him.
Thorim, the leader of the Storm Giants, was filled with the power of storms, with endless lightning flowing over him—the basic energy of High-tier Demigod.
Jiang Jie sensed waves of pressure. Even for a powerhouse of his level, the pressure from the Titan Keepers was still formidable, making Jiang Jie feel quite uncomfortable.
He's still some distance from that level, even if...
It's not far now.
" Anveena, successor to Archaedas, I know of your existence."
Thorim looked down at Anveena: " Yogg-Saron's power clouded my mind, but in my limited moments of clarity, I cried out to you for help. And you truly came."
He was somewhat moved.
In fact, like the other Keeper, he had called for help but didn't have much hope.
Because Yogg-Saron was too terrifying, Loken's army was too large.
The Path of the Titans is too difficult; becoming a true Titan Keepers is extremely challenging.
But Anveena really did it.
And it wasn't just Anveena achieved this.
Three more golden lights flashed, Uther, Jotun, and Eyir arrived.
"The time for reckoning has come!"
Odyn looked north, where atop the mountains stood an incredibly magnificent Titans complex—that was Ulduar.
The Halls of Valor rose from there tens of thousands of years ago, and now it's time for it to return.
"I will kill Loken with my own hands to avenge Sif!" Thorim was consumed by rage, and a storm surged across the entire sky.
He unleashed his fury. In terms of controlling the storm, he was on par with Al'Akir, the Elemental Lord of Air.
" Thorim, Loken used the Forge of Souls to create an army of steel, while you, after tens of thousands of years, how much control do you still have over the Storm Giants? You are no match for him."
Odyn shook his head and said, "Perhaps we need to work together!"
"I think with this, Thorim will definitely be able to deal with Loken."
Jiang Jie raised his hand, and a broken stone appeared in front of him.
" The Tide Stone of Golganneth?"
Thorim was astonished. "Young Demigod, you found it?"
"It was taken back from the Naga."
Jiang Jie smiled and said, "Returning it to its rightful owner."
"I owe you a favor, Nicholas."
Thorim raised his hand and grasped the Tide Stone of Golganneth.
He and the artifact resonated with each other, their shared power merging, greatly increasing Thorim's strength. A more powerful storm surged across the heavens, and even Al'Akir, the Elemental Lord of Air at the Skywall in the southernmost part of Kalimdor, felt a tremor.
The threat from ancient times has reappeared!
Back then, it was Highkeeper Ra, along with Thorim and Hodir, who defeated and imprisoned it. The magical artifacts they used at the time, besides Highkeeper Ra's gauntlets, were the Tide Stone of Golganneth.
"I have returned to my original power."
Thorim said, "I will command the Storm Giants to attack the Halls of Lightning! That Loken fellow is hiding deep within the Halls of Lightning right now!"
"As per our plan, Jotun and Uther will lead the four vault keepers of Archavon, along with the other giants summoned by Jotun, to attack the Halls of Stone."
Odyn looked at Jiang Jie: "And we, we're responsible for attacking Ulduar!"
Jiang Jie nodded.
Odyn raised his hand, and beams of golden light enveloped them, teleporting them to Halls of Valor.
Soon, the Halls of Valor flew over Ulduar.
Immediately afterwards, Hymdall and Hyrja, along with the eight hundred Val'kyr and Valarjar, disappeared amidst streaks of golden light.
They were teleported to various parts of Ulduar.
Loken already knew they were coming and had gathered all his forces. Hymdall and Hyrja's mission was to intercept Loken's iron army and prevent them from getting close to Ulduar, the Halls of Lightning, and the Halls of Stone, thus creating an opportunity for Jiang Jie and his team to carry out the decapitation strike.
"It's our turn," Odyn said.
Three more golden lights flashed, and Jiang Jie and Odyn were teleported to the gates of Ulduar.
Eyir didn't come.
As the god of Val'kyr, it possesses the ability to resurrect any being below the level of Demigod, including Legendary.
Furthermore, Halls of Valor needs a sufficiently powerful being to control it, and she is the most suitable candidate.
"Let's go in."
Jiang Jie smiled and took a step forward.
The gates of Ulduar, sealed for tens of thousands of years, slowly opened, and Jiang Jie inside.
