Chapter 292: Zu'an's Double-edged Sword (Extra)
His hands could no longer keep up with the idea of the crystal in his head. During a less scientific experiment, the crystal exploded into a swirl of crystal dust that triggered a time-warping cyclone.
Ike opened his eyes and saw many branches of reality, and many mirrors of himself at this moment, and the mirrors were also looking at him in horror, overwhelmed by the shattered space-time.
This time he really did. Ike worked extensively with himself and his own alternate reality mirrors, and finally took control of and repaired the rift he had torn in real space.
Eventually, Ike harnessed the space-time power of the shattered crystal through a device that allowed him to manipulate it for a short period of time, at least in theory.
Before he could test the latest changes, his friends clamored to pull him to climb the Old Hungry to celebrate his name day, and Ike set off with his gadget.
They climbed over various obstacles to the old clock tower "Old Hungry Ghost" in the old town of Zu'an, and began to climb upwards, stopping to draw a shitty caricature or two of famous leather guys.
Just as they were about to reach the roof, one of his buddies mistakenly grabbed a loose handle and fell down. Ike instinctively activated the crystal device, and the movements were as skilful as if he had practiced hundreds of times.
The world around him shattered, and he himself traveled back to the moment through the torrent of particles of time. The hairs on his arms stood on end from the static electricity.
He was dizzy. Then he saw his companion reach for the loose handle, about to repeat the mistake that had cost him his life.
The clicker knob snapped under the boy's weight, but Ike reached out and grabbed his companion's collar in mid-air before tossing him to a nearby rung. Unfortunately, he miscalculated the parabolic trajectory and threw his companion into the giant gear of the clock tower. Messed up.
After countless backtracks and some adjustments to the direction of the wind, Ike finally saved his friend's life. In the eyes of others, Ike relied on a god-like reaction, and he was immediately sought after.
Ike told his friends about the crystals and the manipulation of time, and demanded that they swear to secrecy. Contrary to his wishes, his companions shamelessly boast about Ike's exploits, fearlessly challenging all sorts of reckless stunts.
Each trial and the countless trial-and-error that followed it made his time device, which he named the Z-drive, more stable.
Ike discovers that he can steal all opponents, take down strong alchemunk bullies, and even strike up with the right lines to make a good impression on the first meeting. The only limit to use it was the limit of fatigue that his own body could withstand.
Rumors and anecdotes of Ike's reversal of time soon reached the magnates in the upper and lower cities. The highly revered Zuan scientist Victor wanted to test this unruly little genius in person.
He armed several of his men with powerful augmentations in an attempt to persuade the boy to serve him. And Jace, a well-known Picheng innovation scholar, is bent on catching up with the title of "Boy Who Breaks Time" and trying to crack his technology.
However, Ike values his freedom and independence too much to be involved in anyone's projects. A handful of pursuers may have a chance to catch a glimpse of Ike, but their plans for a hunt can quickly come to naught, often ending awkwardly, as the Trench Kid is naturally adept at searching for their weaknesses.
Ike's wildest dream is that one day his hometown will rise to the point where the city of progress is now dwarfed. Piltover's sparkling exterior will be shrouded in the ingenuity and unapologetic courage of the Zaun people, and the gap between the two is not a privilege passed down from generation to generation, but from a simple sense of adventure.
He may not have a concrete plan yet, but Ike has plenty of time to turn this dream into reality. After all, if he can change the past, why is it so difficult to change the future
Zuan is a development of technology, magic, and wisdom, and its research and application in Zuan has increasingly expanded the boundaries of morality.
Countless factories and laboratories are constantly excreting waste into the environment, turning Zu'an into a smoky place. Compared to the sky of Zaun, its underground pollution is even more severe.
All of Zaun's waste is pooled in its sewers, mixed into a highly toxic and mysterious concoction. Out of this terrible mixture was born a plague rat Tucci. Unlike his unevolved cousins, Tucci is sentient like a human
If they're as crazy as he is. And the by-product of this evolution is Tucci's manic madness, albeit in the functional aspect.
Tucci arrives in League of Legends to show himself to be "unique in his kind" in the Land of Justice. Since then, he has found a generous patron in Zaun, the city that gave him an evolutionary perception.
Tucci was one of Zaun's earliest heroes in the Alliance, and he fought for Zaun when the city-state of Valoran became politically strife.
He has publicly stated that the purpose of his work in the Alliance is to gain enough influence and material wealth to try to recreate the process by which he gained perception.
Although his quest faces many challenges, one of the greatest is his own madness. If he succeeds, it means that the evolution of the entire Runeterra has taken a huge and shameless step forward.
Although Zau's covert intentions in this matter are unknown, Zaun assures Tucci of his support in his quest.
Tucci, born as a plague rat and a connoisseur of filth, is a paranoid and mutated rat. He walked upright and searched for the remnants of Zuan for treasures that only he knew were of true value.
Armed with a chemically powered crossbow, Tucci is not afraid to stain his claws and build a Throne of Waste in his Filthy Kingdom, while also plotting the decay of humanity endlessly.
Admire the beautiful rainbow on the stained-glass canopy of the Zuan Exchange, as well as the bustling and vibrant beauty of the city center.
They also told him that there is also a cruel and harsh side to the world, and that some people begin to understand that sometimes people can become vicious, ruthless, resentful, and prejudiced. A small number of people reject this behavior and help his parents as much as possible, benefiting the surrounding inhabitants with their skills, while trying not to attract unnecessary attention.
Zuan's highly toxic wastewater is pooled in the lower reaches of the city, but even here people manage to survive and thrive.
