General Husam was very reluctant, but Freya had agreed, so he couldn't say much. He just looked at Gale with even more vigilance.
Gale didn't mind and urged directly, "Let's go now! Time is precious."
Freya looked at the four Wind Elemental Lords and strengthened their restraints.
Gale smiled meaningfully, "They will be very well-behaved."
The Wind Elemental Lords nodded repeatedly, looking at the Miao Miao Hammer in his hand with fear.
After Skywall was moved above the Halls of Origination, everyone came to the ground through a portal. General Husam opened the doors of the Halls of Origination and led everyone inside.
The Halls of Origination had a strong Egyptian style, and not just the Halls of Origination, even Uldum was full of Egyptian style.
The Temple Guardian, An'Hul, came to greet them, "Respected Guardian, it is a pleasure to see you again."
Freya: "An'Hul, I am also glad to see you again."
After getting closer, Freya said, "It seems you have not been affected by the flesh curse."
An'Hul glanced at General Husam, who was stopped at the entrance, "After the flesh curse broke out, we isolated the Halls of Origination."
Then he looked at the three elves who followed them in, "And they are?"
Freya: "These are our allies, the Kaldorei from the Kaldorei Empire. This is their king, Gale."
An'Hul curiously sized up Gale and bowed to him in respect.
Freya continued to introduce, "Your Majesty Gale is a powerful individual. When Loken betrayed us and imprisoned us in Ulduar, it was Your Majesty Gale who killed Loken and rescued us. During this elemental rampage, Your Majesty Gale first sealed Ragnaros, and then killed AlAkir."
An'Hul became even more curious. Although he felt a strong magical aura from Gale, he had not expected him to possess the ability to kill Loken, Ragnaros, and AlAkir.
Freya: "We are preparing to attack the Firelands to completely deal with Ragnaros, rescue Thunderaan, and stabilize the Wind Elemental Realm. Before that, Gale needs some energy to charge a gem."
An'Hul paused, "Your Excellency, you intend to use the energy of the Forge of Origination?"
"That's right!" Freya said, "I know the energy of the Forge of Origination is reserved for Azeroth, but if the elemental crisis isn't resolved, this energy might never be used."
An'Hul didn't say yes or no, but instead said, "Thousands of years ago, Lei Shen, the Mogu emperor, wanted to seize the power of the Forge of Origination, and we didn't give it to him. Not long ago, AlAkir also wanted to seize the power of the Forge of Origination, and we didn't give it to him either. Now, Guardian, do you also want to seize the power of the Forge of Origination?"
"No!" Gale interjected, "We are not seizing it, but borrowing it."
"Borrow?" An'Hul was startled, then laughed, "What will you use to repay it?"
Gale said calmly, "I spare no effort to eliminate hidden dangers for Azeroth."
He took out the Reality Gem, "If you let me fill this gem, I can remove the flesh curse from the Tolvir."
"You can remove the flesh curse?" An'Hul asked, disbelievingly.
"Of course." Gale said with certainty.
Freya vouched, "Gale always keeps his word, you can trust him."
Out of respect for Freya, An'Hul chose to believe Gale.
He believed that the gem in Gale's hand would not absorb too much energy, at most the consumption of one obelisk.
Using such a small amount of energy to purify the flesh curse on the Tolvir was completely worth it.
"Follow me!"
An'Hul led Gale around a few corners and came to a wall. Chanting a spell, the wall split open to both sides, revealing a staircase. Following the stairs down, they eventually arrived in front of a secret chamber.
On the door of the secret chamber were pharaoh statues, imbued with strong Fire Elemental fluctuations, which should be a very powerful Fire Elemental mechanism.
Gale glanced at it and was no longer interested. This kind of ancient mechanism had a very crude structure; perhaps Gale would have been interested before he acquired war machine technology.
An'Hul raised an eyebrow slightly. This elf was indeed different from mortals, able to perceive the existence of the mechanism. One must know that these pharaoh mechanisms were the Tolvir's most advanced technology; even if AlAkir had conquered the Halls of Origination, he certainly wouldn't have detected the mechanism's existence.
The door of the secret chamber was opened again by a spell, revealing the chamber inside. A huge machine was placed in the center of the chamber, constantly running and absorbing energy from the sky.
Is this the Forge of Origination? It seems no different from the Forge of Wills.
Gale quickly focused his attention on the energy within the forge. Since its creation, the Forge of Origination had only released energy once, so it now stored far more energy than the Forge of Wills.
He admitted that his "greedy" heart was stirring again.
An'Hul didn't know he had "let the wolf into the house". "This is the Forge of Origination. Tell me when you're ready, and I'll activate the forge."
Gale walked towards the Forge of Origination, "No need, I will use it."
An'Hul stepped forward cautiously, wanting to stop Gale. Freya said, "Gale has used the Forge of Wills before, you don't need to worry too much. Instead of worrying about that, you should worry about the energy."
Freya hadn't known Gale for the first day; beneath Gale's outwardly refined demeanor lived a wild bandit.
An'Hul clearly didn't understand Freya's meaning, "What?"
At this moment, Gale had already activated the Forge of Origination. Infinite energy erupted outwards, and the entire earth vibrated.
An'Hul no longer bothered to understand Freya's words and immediately rushed towards the Forge of Origination, wanting to shut it down. Back then, activating it at the lowest frequency had flattened Uldum and Tanaris. Now that Gale had opened it so wide, it would blow up all of Azeroth.
Before he could get close to the Forge of Origination, Gale took out the Reality Gem. The Reality Gem was insatiably hungry, like an unfillable glutton, devouring all the energy released by the Forge of Origination.
"This..." An'Hul stared in shock at the Reality Gem in Gale's hand.
He never imagined that such a small gem could hold half the energy of the Forge of Origination.
Wait a minute...
An'Hul's steps did not slow, but rather quickened. He rushed to the side of the Forge of Origination in a few strides and shut it down as quickly as possible.
In just that short time, another ten percent of the energy within the Forge of Origination was gone. This made An'Hul's heart ache.
"You... you deceived me!"
Gale spread his hands, "How did I deceive you? Our transaction was consensual. The Reality Gem isn't full yet, do you want to go back on your word?"
Freya quickly walked over and lightly coughed to remind Gale not to go too far.
"That's enough energy! Gale, it's time for you to fulfill your promise."
