Chapter 524 - Freyja

Freyja, known as the Queen of Life among the guardians, inherited her power from Eonar, the life-binder of the Titan Pantheon. Her avatar, similarly skilled in life energy, struck Galen as more of a potent healer than an attacker, possessing mainly life-energy projectiles and area-of-effect bursts of anger, lacking other offensive capabilities. This pure healing focus perhaps explained why her main body was easily contained within her life greenhouse, though her tenacious vitality prevented her demise.

The arrival of Galen and his companions, particularly the earth-shaking approach of the black mammoth, drew the attention of Freyja's avatar, even amidst the chaos of battle. She observed Galen from afar, wielding the Ashbringer atop the massive beast.

Eager to display his power, Galen unleashed the awakened Ashbringer, its ten-meter-long holy flames instantly incinerating the surrounding abominations, aberrant behemoths, and cave spiders.

"Such a powerful force of order?" Freyja's avatar exclaimed, surprised. She sensed the auras of Tyr, Archaedas, Alexstrasza, and Malygos emanating from the seemingly small figure. What is this little one's background? He has connections with so many of my old friends!

"Hello, Freyja's avatar, I'm here to help!" Galen shouted from afar.

"Mysterious allies, thank you for your arrival!" Freyja replied, continuing to wave her vine-covered staff, engulfing dozens of Scourge bats in green light before blasting them out of the sky with life energy.

"Yes, Freyja's avatar, it's not just the three of us. Archaedas and Emalon are guarding the Lifeblood Pillars!" As Galen spoke, another wave of holy light erupted from the Ashbringer, like a sweeping blade of divine energy, annihilating the undead in its path. Alleria and Sylvanas continuously drew their artifact weapons, Thas'dorah and the Wrath of the Stars, their magic arrows tearing through the gargoyles and undead bats with gale-force power.

Galen's power of order and the Windrunner sisters' mastery of wind-type Titan runes immediately earned the trust of Freyja's avatar. "The Scourge Legion swept through this cradle of life like a storm, and the power of death has defiled this ancient land," she stated gravely. Freyja summoned another wave of Lickspittle-shaped Life Lashers, directing them to attack the distant undead. "Mysterious allies, in the name of the great Creator, I implore you to go to the Creator's Seat and the Creator's Terrace, activate the gate mechanism, and proceed to Un'Goro Crater after opening the gate! A powerful weapon, sealed by me there, awaits activation. Please retrieve it and bring it here!"

Galen was momentarily conflicted. He knew the Titan's gate could be activated via the Creator's Seat and Terrace, leading to Un'Goro Crater. He also knew of the weapon: the "Genesis Idol," one of the most destructive Titan creations, resembling Archaedas in form. In the original timeline, Freyja's avatar had used this idol to turn the tide of battle and preserve the life of Sholazar Basin. Un'Goro Crater is already my territory, occupied by my night elf troops. The Shaping Terrace is also under the control of Ancagalon's army. And the Titan watcher Nablya, sealed by Ancagalon for ten thousand years, is now my follower in the fifth-level palace. The Genesis Idol was sealed by Smegol in the Shaping Terrace because he didn't know how to activate it. If I tell her that Un'Goro Crater is my back garden and Nablya is the leader of my Titan creation maid corps, will she be furious?

"No need for such trouble, respected Freyja! I have a special way to resolve this crisis!" Galen declared, his mind racing. What do I even need the Genesis Idol for? Isn't my army large enough? The Templar Knights have arrived; what's the difference between them and Tyr's Guard?

Freyja's avatar looked bewildered. "A special way?"

In the astonished gaze of the guardian avatar, a blue and white magic circle materialized above Galen's head. With a ripple in the air, the Tyr's Guard Legion materialized!

"Tyr's Guard, heed my command! In the name of the King of Order, destroy the evil before you!" Galen's voice boomed.

"For the glory of Tyr!" Two thousand knight commanders and fifteen hundred royal guards of the Tyr's Guard Legion, along with over a hundred red-blooded Tyr's Guard, charged forward in a circular formation, a whirling vortex of righteous fury crashing into the encroaching undead Scourge.

"Respected Freyja, I shall lead the Tyr's Guard to the Avalanche Foothills to eliminate the Scourge commander of this invasion. Please wait a moment!"

Freyja's avatar finally processed the unbelievable scene. This mysterious ally could conjure a teleportation circle within Sholazar Basin, and the powerful legion that had arrived was called Tyr's Guard. It was enough to stun her. "Mysterious ally, I am merely an avatar of Freyja; please dispense with such formalities." She then provided crucial intelligence. "The leaders of the Scourge Legion are Flesh Shaper Bjorn, Ugraz the Grave Lord, and Heskern. I will mark their locations. With the strength of this legion, they can be dealt with swiftly! I wish you a triumphant return!"

Galen nodded and immediately set off. Among the invasion leaders, Flesh Shaper Bjorn was a legendary abomination, a towering figure stitched together from Vrykul corpses, wielding a bayonet in his left hand and a massive sledgehammer in his right. Ugraz the Grave Lord was a colossal giant resurrected through necromancy, likely an ancient leader from Jotunheim, almost resembling a stone giant. Heskern was a blue dragon, seemingly an adult, tragically fallen to the Scourge and resurrected as a weapon of the undead legion.

Galen divided the Tyr's Guard into two forces. Sylvanas was tasked with leading one contingent to eliminate Ugraz, while Alleria commanded the other to hunt down Bjorn. Galen himself ventured alone towards the flying frost dragon Heskern, unleashing a Judgment decree that instantly slammed the undead dragon against the cliff face of the Avalanche Mountain!
