Why Abaddon statue wasn’t affected by Zhaitan power while the other gods statues were affected? Is this foreshadowing something about the gods?

Because it never controlled any of Abaddon’s priests or temples.

Many of these statues don’t have high priest connected to them and Zhaitan was able to damage these too.

That’s because it would control THE high priest and THE temple. When we would defeat the high priest and take the temple, the statues would stop being evil.

Abaddon had no statues nor high priests for over a thousand years prior to Zhaitan’s rise so it had no strategic point in comparison to the other temples. There was just no interest in the temple that couldn’t be found elsewhere in Orr. It was also hidden, sunken, and sealed. Per the story, Zhaitan’s minions only recently went into the temple to take some simple magical artifacts for the Mouth to consume (which they do just before we show up). So the risen have just been taking their time systematically consuming the magical artifacts (via Mouth of Zhaitan) throughout Orr – and Orr’s not exactly small or lacking in magical artifacts, nor are they restricted to Orr with such, nor were they in a hurry – Elder Dragons function on a different timescale than mortals thus are very leisurely in comparison.

Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

Well, not every statue is twisted, so you mean how Zhaitan’s corruption is essentially exploiting the divine energy of the statues, right? Maybe with Abaddon’s fall or death there was no longer any such energy there. Alternatively, the PS mission there is a race- meaning most likely that the risen had just found the place. Maybe there hadn’t been an opportunity to corrupt the statue.

EDIT: Bah, ninja’d.
