Wintergrasp Lake, as the name suggests, this area is built on a vast lake.
Due to the extreme climate of Northrend, which is located in the Arctic, the water in Wintergrasp has long been frozen. Although it is not considered to be permanently frozen ice, it is still strong enough for most mortals.
However, to powerful demigods of the level of Malygos and Thorim, the ice on the lake looked like a paper lake.
Following the source of the blazing white lightning, Sarlayan and Onyxia quickly found Thorim.
The Storm Guardian was not in good condition at this time. His lower body fell into the cold ice lake, and his waist was firmly fixed by the quick-frozen ice catalyzed by Malygos' ice spell.
These ice layers were not naturally formed. They contained the powerful magic power of the Spellweaver. No matter how hard he struggled, Thorim could not break free. He could only wave the thunder hammer in his hand to attract thunder and bombard Malygos flying in the air.
However, in the eyes of Sharlayan and Onyxia, Thorim's behavior was more like incompetent rage.
His thunder and lightning never penetrated the defensive shield set up by Malygos. Instead, he kept trembling due to the electromagnetic effect of the lake water.
And this forms a vicious cycle. The angrier Thorim becomes, the more powerful he will call for thunder and lightning. However, the more seriously he will be shocked when his lower body is in the water, which will affect his storm power output.
The final result was his current state of incompetence and rage. Malygos even yawned in mid-air out of boredom, full of mockery.
Azadas and Alexstrasza stood outside the ice lake with helpless expressions, and seemed to have no intention of persuading them to stop. Obviously, this was not the first time that Thorim went crazy due to his eagerness to fight.
It's not that Sarlayan can't understand Thorim's mood. After all, any male intelligent creature will be furious if he knows that he has a green hat on his head.
...Of course, except those turtles with special quirks.
Thorim's situation is not just about his green hair, but also the betrayal of his lover. He who loves Sif deeply may choose to forgive her after being angry for a while.
But the problem is... the Sif are gone, killed by her lover Loken himself, which Thorim cannot accept no matter what.
"enough!"
Seeing that Tuolimu was unwilling to give up and wanted to continue messing around, Laiden's face turned dark and turned into a golden thunder light and teleported in front of Tuolimu.
“Boom!
"
The golden thunder and lightning of the blazing white thunder fell from the sky with even greater power. While Thorim, who was still wet with water, was shaken continuously, it also easily defeated the quick-frozen ice layer reinforced by Malygos.
"Um?!"
Malygos is very confident in his own strength, which he has gradually accumulated in dozens of confrontations with Thorim in recent times.
In fact, in terms of hard power alone, Malygos and Thorim are actually about the same level, but in terms of combat intelligence... Thorim, who is only full of recklessness, is hung up by the Spellweaver with a blaster.
As the overarching authority of all Guardians, the Pantheon was designed to give Laden authority and power over other Guardians.
After reuniting with Laden, Sarlayan returned to him part of the lightning power that Laden had lent to him earlier.
Because he has no use for it anymore.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that Sharlayan doesn't look down on Laden's power.
Under the long-term nourishment of Laiden's special golden thunder and lightning, Sarlayan, who already possessed the power of wind and thunder due to Dru Yin's skills, was catalyzed at some point in his body to produce similar but different thunder and lightning...or storm power.
To this day, even without the power granted by Laden, Sarlayan can still call the wind and thunder spontaneously through this new power.
Most of Laiteng's powers had been usurped by the God of Thunder for a long time, but with the complete demise of the God of Thunder, these powers that had escaped into the atmosphere naturally regrouped with their true masters.
After recovering the last part of the free power from Sharlay'an, let's not mention the mental issues. In terms of strength alone, there is no doubt that Laden is superior to all the guardians of Azeroth, including the Aspect Dragon. .
Yes, that includes Odin.
This can be clearly answered from the level seen by the Eagle Eye Technique.
Odin's level is level 67, which surpasses the Aspect Dragon, while Laden has level 68, which is higher than Odin.
Of course, this is just a pure comparison of strength. Considering Odin's skillful combat skills and equally powerful combat wisdom as a warrior, it's hard to say who will win in a fight between Laiden, who is mainly responsible for civilian work, and Odin. .
The current situation is actually easy to understand. Only the level 66 Malygos was crushed by the level 68 Laden in terms of pure power.
Fortunately, Laden did not intend to punish Malygos equally. He knew Thorim's temper and character very well, and he also knew the rights and wrongs behind today's conflict.
"How brave! How dare you..."
Just when the stubborn Torim was about to fight back against the new "enemy" with red eyes, he suddenly showed a dumbfounded expression after seeing Laden's appearance clearly.
"……Come?"
"snort!"
Laideng snorted with a gloomy expression: "It's me, what? Are you planning to fight me too?"
"No no no!"
Thorim's whole body trembled, and certain memories from the past quickly cooled down his overheated brain.
As the leader of all Titan Guardians, Laden had punished Thorim more than once tens of thousands of years ago for causing trouble.
When facing Laden with a dark face, the Storm Guardian, who had a fierce look before, was awakened by the muscle memory that had been dormant for many years, and subconsciously put on a funny and flattering smile.
Just like tens of thousands of years ago.
This familiar scene made Lai Deng's eyes flicker for a moment, and the excited Earth Guardian Azadas also came up to meet him.
"Come! You are finally back!"
"Where have you been all these years?"
"Also, your body..."
Facing Azadas's barrage of questions, Laiden smiled bitterly and patted his shoulder.
"Long time no see...Thank you for your hard work, Azadas."
Laiden said with some self-blame: "I have already heard about Tyr from Sharlayan. It is all my fault that I was not with you at that time, otherwise Loken's betrayal might not have happened at all."
"As for my body."
Laideng helplessly touched his flesh-and-blood skin: "It's hard to explain in words, let's talk about it later. Now..."
Turning his gaze back to Thorim, Laden's expression became stern again.
"Thorim, are you going to continue to mess around?"
"Don't dare!"
Thorim hurriedly climbed out of the lake and defended himself with a sincere smile: "I'm in a hurry, that guy Loken..."
Laiden was too lazy to listen to Thorim's nonsense. He waved his hand and said, "I know what Loken did. I guarantee you that he will pay the due price for the crimes he committed."
"But that's not now, you know what I mean?"
"Suck~" Thorim took a deep breath to collect his emotions, and then he nodded heavily: "I know that since you, the great guardian, are back, of course I will not disobey your orders."
"very good."
Laiteng finally smiled, opened his arms and gave Thorim a hug after not seeing him for a long time.
"Sorry for being late, brothers, I'm back."
…
Alexstrasza and Malygos had met Laden during the Aspect Dragon's promotion ceremony tens of thousands of years ago, but that was all.
At that time, the Great Guardian, who was still busy rectifying southern Azeroth and maintaining the Forge of Origin, came and went in a hurry. After guiding Aman'Thul, who was far away in the Pantheon, to give the power of time to Nozdormu, he hurriedly went south again.
Since then, the guardian dragons have never seen Laden again, until today.
In any case, the guardian dragon also needs to respect the orders of this great guardian.
Under Laden's mediation, Malygos, who was just talking about matters, quickly shook hands with Thorim, who had a gut to the end.
Under the respectful guidance of Alkavon and the other four guardians of the treasury, the group headed by Eliden entered the Wintergrasp treasury for detailed communication.
Laiden first briefly talked about his experiences over the years, only saying that he had been sleeping for tens of thousands of years for some reasons, during which his power was taken away by the Mogu Emperor Thunder God.
There was no way, at this juncture, Laideng did not dare to tell his compatriots about the destruction of the Pantheon.
Even if you want to say it, you have to wait until the Battle of Ulduar is over and then find a suitable opportunity to summon all the guardians to tell them together. Saying it now will definitely disrupt the morale of the army before the war.
"Let's all talk about what we know."
Laiden, who was sitting in the main seat, gradually regained his previous state, and asked Azadas and other guardians stationed in Northrend with a serious expression: "How is the strength of the two armies compared?"
"Where are the other guardians trapped in Ulduar? Are there any other movements of Yogg-Saron?"
