Chapter 362: Sinister Intent

Before Cana could react to Jeno's words, a scolding woke her up from her confusion.

Seeing that Jano was so resolute, Jana, who had always trusted him unconditionally, had no choice but to take a step back. A thought flashed, and the figure appeared several miles away.

And Jeno can finally activate the Storm Collector without any worries.

Jeno activated the device, and the staff received a frenzied surge of energy, converging into an energy singularity at the top.

This singularity contains a huge and pure amount of energy, which, once unfolded, becomes a magnetic field that envelops Piltover and brings a terrible storm to the area. At the same time, if it is not done properly, the singularity itself will turn into a storm of energy, tearing things around it to pieces.

There was no instruction manual for this thing, and Victor didn't tell him how to use it, and Jeno dared to take on the task of starting this half-finished product with a half-understanding of the principle, not because he was reckless, but because he had the ability to accurately control the Hex Crystal, and only he could use this instrument well.

With the help of this new ability, and under his control, the crystal found the optimal output frequency.

But even so, the unexpected happened.

The energy singularity at the tip of the staff began to expand irregularly, turning into irregular spheres, as if some flood beast was about to break out of its shell.

The arc-like energy turbulent shot out and hit the Sungate Gate, peeling the concrete off the gate like a steel wire cutting tofu. A small turbulent stream of energy splashed onto the large cable car not far away, and the arm-thick steel cable broke when it was broken, and the large cable car, which lost its support, slid out of the steel cable and fell straight into the sea below, and then was pushed into the flood outlet by the current, and was roughly pushed into the Sea of Watchmen by the raging waterfall formed by the sea of conquerors due to the height difference at the sea lock, and never floated again.

Seeing this, Jeno swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and then began to manually debug in an attempt to correct the whole process.

Instruments that have not been rigorously tested are only half-finished, and the structure between the crystal and the staff has a slight flaw, causing energy to leak. Victor's ultimate goal is to save humanity from all mistakes, but he still has a long way to go, and even he himself is far from reaching this ideal state, let alone changing the situation of the equipment at that time.

Under Jeno's control, the energy of the riot was gradually suppressed, and under the steady output of energy, the singularity at the top of the staff turned back into a perfect sphere.

Then, Jeno heard the singing.

A song of sorrow.

The glow of the energy singularity kept Jano from opening his eyes, but he knew who the song was coming from.

It was the original crystal in the staff that was screaming.

It is absorbed by the device with life energy, and is about to turn into a terrible storm, and then wait for it to die peacefully.

Yes, the Primordial Crystal is also a life, and it also has the instinct to survive, just like when Hex was wrapped around Jeno with his dead face, he just didn't want to be used as a tool anymore and endure the pain of various experiments.

"I'm sorry, I can't help it." Even if things had come to this point, Jeno had no choice but to sacrifice the Primordial Crystal as originally planned.

Hex, too, was silent, it lacked energy to replace its own kind to die, and it didn't want to die.

Jeno no longer listens to the crystal's song of pleading, and continues to manipulate the crystal's output energy. Finally! After draining most of the crystal's energy, the staff finally had enough energy, and the singularity exploded, instantly radiating the entire Piltover region before turning into an invisible magnetic field.

……

Nasus, who had just stepped out of the stone platform, saw a group of five sand thieves blocking the exit of Piltover Station.

They turned their backs to him at first, and turned around when they heard his undisguised footsteps. Normally, Nasus would have felt their fear, as there was an Ascendant standing in front of them, but they had the blue fire of Zelas's will burning in their eyes, and they didn't know what fear was.

They fearlessly rushed at him with bloody swords and spears.

Nasus staggered and swept across with an axe in his hand, cutting off three of them. On the other side, a gruff Recton punched another man in the chest and opened his mouth to bite the last man's head, but a flying rock took a step ahead of him, knocking the sand thief into the wall, causing him to bite into the air.

Nasus squinted at Taliyah, and began to think that the little girl's soft-heartedness would be a drag on them, but he didn't say anything.

The four of them continued to advance towards the outside of the city, and when they passed by the sand thief, the rear of the palace suddenly slashed at the other party.

The sudden slashing sound made Taliyah's steps soften, and she didn't look back, just by hearing the sound she knew what was going on. In her heart, these sand thieves were only manipulated by Zelas, so what was the difference between killing them so brutally and what Zelas did?

Anyway, Taliyah stepped out of her legs to keep up with the stellar Nasus, not that she couldn't see others die in front of her eyes, but she just hoped that they wouldn't die so painfully.

Walking out of Piltover Station, Nasus saw the spirit of the betrayed Emperor on fire, suspended in the air.

The blue fire on Zelas was far brighter than the last time he had seen it, brighter than the sun, like a god who controlled the light.

His flames distorted the air around him, and in the scorching air, the glass dome of the building gradually softened into a pulp in the flames of the ascendants, dripping to the ground; The softened metal pillars began to twist as they could no longer bear their weight, and the snow-white walls were burned black.

He just levitated there and turned part of Piltover into purgatory, and it is not known how many people were steamed to death in their homes.

The Ascended Gaze extended in front of Zeroth, and to the undisguised vicious laughter of the Witch Spirit, Nasus saw a group of men silently rushing towards Azir's army outside the city.

Among these people were the sand pirates of Shurima, the native residents of Piltover, and the merchants from other places. Although they came from all over the world and had little connection to each other, they all had blue fire burning in their eyes, and they were all manipulated by Zelas to become his slaves.

These guys have no formation to speak of. No! It's not even an offense! Because most of the splitters didn't even have weapons on them, could unarmed soldiers still take soldiers?

It was clear that Zelas had used the crowd as cannon fodder. And he can't do anything to help the situation of the battle, so there must be an extremely sinister intention in it.
