LIVE: Azeroth

Of all the Titan Guardians, Odin is undoubtedly the most arrogant and least close to mortals.

But one thing to say, he does have the capital to be proud.

Unlike Grand Guardian Raiden, when Odin was first created, the Titans did not grant him additional protective powers.

That is to say, from the point of view of status, he was at the same level as Thorim, Azadas and others at that time, and they were all Layden's subordinates.

However, in the decisive battle that defeated the Dark Empire, Odin showed his bravery and fighting side to the Pantheon. After the war, he was awarded by the Pantheon and promoted to the leader of the Guardians on the same level as Raiden. .

If Raiden is a nobleman who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Odin is a grassroots representative who has climbed to the top step by step by virtue of his own ability. He has sufficient confidence and pride.

But...people always change.

Because of his willfulness and tough methods, Odin was sealed by Loken, who had always harbored evil intentions, and Hela, his adopted daughter who was determined to take revenge. He was forced to be obedient in the Hall of Valor for tens of thousands of years, and missed the most ups and downs in the history of Azeroth. 1 years of ups and downs.

To be able to climb from an ordinary Titan Guardian to his current status step by step, Odin is definitely not stupid.

As the saying goes, one learns from every experience, and the dismal experience of that year made Odin learn from it painfully.

Although his seemingly innate pride has not yet completely subsided, at least he will no longer do such willful things as forcibly stripping off Hela's soul.

Sarlayan is half mortal, and the other half is from the dragon race, which Odin once looked down upon...or, in other words, flesh and blood creatures.

However, Sarlayan, who had a low starting point (compared to the Titan Guardians), relied on his own efforts to break through the limits of mortal life and became a demigod with an immortal lifespan.

Although Odin didn't say it, he undoubtedly saw the shadow of his own hard work in Sarlayan, who always struggled.

Therefore, Odin's attitude towards Sharlayan is completely different from that of other mortals. He even admitted with Raiden for the first time that Sharlayan is also a member of the Guardians of Azeroth.

The Titan Guardians have faded away from Azeroth for too long. For the existing civilization in Azeroth, their existence is more like a legend, rather than their own people who can be contacted at any time and can be used as examples of hard work.

Odin is well aware of the importance of beings like Sharlayan to today's Azeroth, and as a mortal and a demigod, he can serve as a bridge between the two.

Sarlayan's position is similar to Cenarius and Jarod, who connected all the forces during the War of the Ancients, but his status is more important than them, equivalent to the combined power of these two linkers from different camps. Effect.

Although Odin's temper has calmed down a lot compared to before he was trapped in the Hall of Valor, he still can't get along with mortals like Mimiron and Freya.

Therefore, Sharlayan, the agent connecting the two estates, is indispensable.

More importantly, the guardians, including Odin and Raiden, saw a long-awaited hope from Sharlayan, who was still making progress - the possibility of a true god sitting in Azeroth.

In the past, Azeroth had the Pantheon covering its head, and there was no shortage of high-end combat power.

Now that the Pantheon is on hiatus and the Star Soul has not yet matured, in this crisis-ridden multiverse, Azeroth urgently needs a true god-level boss to calm things down.

Odin is self-aware. Although the protective power and protective body given to them by the Titans ensure the lower limit of all guardians, it also sets their upper limit.

This can also be applied to the dragon clan who also received the power of guardianship.

Odin and others once thought that the first demigod in Azeroth would be born from the emerging group of wild demigods.

However, they were ultimately disappointed.

It has been tens of thousands of years since Malonka passed the last hurdle before breaking through, and there is still no sign of a breakthrough.

The Pantheon that had not yet been destroyed at that time was not without hope and pointed out Malorne the White Deer. Even the moon god Elune also had a hand in it, and some scandals were spread because of it.

However, it is regrettable that Malorne's upper limit only goes so far, and he is unfortunately unable to continue to break through.

Even so, Malorne is currently the highest combat power in Azeroth.

The guardians once thought that before the star soul matured, it would be impossible for Azeroth to give birth to a being that could surpass him.

The appearance of Sharlayan gave them a big surprise, and also made the guardians, including Odin, begin to face the potential of mortals.

Mortals are indeed fragile, but with a very low starting point, they have endless possibilities.

It may be difficult for a genius like Sarlayan to be born in tens of thousands of years, but there are many people with slightly less potential than him.

Those mortal demigods who were inspired by Sarlayan and achieved breakthroughs are very typical examples.After reading the history of Azeroth recorded on the Disc of Norgannon, the guardians were surprised to discover another good prospect - Azshara, the former Queen of the Dark Night Empire and known as the Light of Light.

However, Azshara's headstrong character gave Odin a dislocated feeling that he was looking at himself in the mirror.

As the saying goes, people of the same sex repel each other. This realization made him instinctively feel repulsive towards Azshara.

This is just Odin's personal opinion.

Raiden is quite interested in planning to match Sharlayan and Azshara. He believes that the offspring born after the combination of these two geniuses born in Azeroth may also inherit the excellent talents from both parents.

Anyway, both of them are descendants of the elves, so there is absolutely no reproductive isolation. It is only a matter of time before a new life is born.

Sharlayan doesn't know anything about the fact that the Guardians are secretly taking CP. If he knew about it, he would probably complain about Raiden and others for thinking that he and Azshara were the Azeroth version of Adam and Eve.

Sarlayan was somewhat flattered by Odin's concern, but he still accepted the Shield of Aggramar from Aiur without hesitation.

…Anyway, it’s not the first time I’ve borrowed it.

The function of the Shield of Aggramar is very simple. What it provides is extremely strong defensive capabilities.

According to Odin, once the Shield of Aggramar is fully deployed, even a true god will not be able to break through the defense of this Pillar of Creation artifact in a short time.

[I always feel like I have a bad premonition. 】

[How did you say that?The gun that appeared in the first act will inevitably be fired in the third act. Will Xiao Sa really fight the true god in the Shadow Realm? 】

[It’s hard to say, since Xiao Sa decided to sneak into the Maw, he cannot avoid the possibility of encountering Zoval. 】

[You crow mouths should be avoided, Sharlayan is not filming Chekhov's drama, this is the real Azeroth, don't put that flag. 】

Sarlayan: "...What you said made me really panic. I hope I won't fall for what you said."

……

After leaving Ulduar with Odin... or the ardent expectations of all the guardians, Sharlayan returned to Quel'Thalas as quickly as possible.

At this moment, he couldn't care less about Chloe, the little shrimp who stayed in the territory as an informant. Before setting off to the Shadow Realm, he had to arrange the replacement of weapons in Quel'Thalas.

Sooner or later, Azeroth will take a spaceship to Argus for a decisive battle with the Burning Legion.

The Burning Legion uses the technology of the eredar civilization, and Sarlayan does not want his people to rely on their physical bodies to resist various high-tech weapons.

The research on the previous generation of combat vehicles and tanks is proceeding smoothly. The bald men at the Weapons Research Institute have carried out several rounds of updates and iterations. They have even completed the steel tank originally envisioned by Sarlayan and are currently conducting subsequent research on humanoid weapons.

It is the so-called MS (Mobile Suit), not necessarily a Gundam. The one-eyed head structure is more similar to the Zaku mentioned in the barrage.

Let’s put the research and development of MS aside for now. After several years of research on this thing, there will be no results at all. At the moment, Sarlayan is more concerned about another cutting-edge weapon-exoskeleton armor.

According to Danmaku, the different world they were in already had the concept of exoskeleton armor that was not yet fully mature, but the manufacturing cost and defense power of these armors were a big problem.

Not to mention the manufacturing cost, in Azeroth where magic exists, researchers can use another method different from engineering... or science to make up for it, that is, built-in magic shield.

Before leaving for the Shadow Realm, Sharlayan asked Valeela and Onyxia, who planned to go together, to pack their luggage first, and then he went into the National Defense Weapons Research Institute.

Compared with the grass-roots team when it was first founded, today's weapons research institute has changed a lot. The division of labor between the various research groups is very clear, and the number of people has expanded from the original dozen to thousands.

Grand Duke Shenying came to visit in person, and Valante, as the chief designer of the institute, greeted him immediately.

"Duke Shenying, welcome..."

"Okay." Sarlayan raised his hand to interrupt Valant's greetings: "Let's forget about these formalistic things. I will leave Quel'Thalas again soon and get straight to the point."

Valant has known Sarlayan's character for a long time, and is not surprised by his resolute and resolute style.

"Then, please invite Grand Duke Shenying to come with me. A test machine has been built for the first-generation exoskeleton armor. You can drive it and test it yourself." (End of Chapter)
