What happened in the desert of Shurima, Rod didn't know.

Rod only knew he needed to beat Jace now.

And as a party to the Jace...... Nothing is known about this.

When Rhodes blew up his tavern into the sky, the two clones who were suppressing Jace had already dissipated.

But Jace still didn't—or didn't leave.

It's not that he doesn't want to go, it's that an "old friend" stops him - Victor lets go of the special operators, leaving only Jace.

(Thanks to Jace's arrogance, none of those special operators had the idea of staying to help, and everyone retreated decisively as soon as possible.) ）

Looking at Victor in front of him, Jace took a sip, then tightened his grip on his hammer.

Two people who could have been friends have now become outright enemies.

"Victor—it's a rare occasion that you've finally found your master." Feeling embarrassed to be blasted by Rhodes, Jace was the first to sarcastically, "But it seems that you have completely abandoned humanity and thrown yourself into a stupid 'evolution'. ”

"You're the one who is really stupid." Victor's synthesized voice didn't fluctuate in a single tone, "You're the one who wags your tail for your master—just like when you committed perjury, you've been a Piltover dog for so many years, not even a Pichengkee." ”

Compared to Jace's sarcasm, Victor's bland words were obviously more lethal, as he poked Jace's scars.

Jace was eager to show his will, but under the inducement of the Supreme Council of Piltover, he had to face the facts and bow his head.

There is no more terrible mockery than tearing through the disguise of a proud man.

Jace's eyes were red.

"Shut up, filthy Zuan mongrel!"

"You don't know anything about Hextech or the will of man!"

"You babbling bastard!"

Jace tried to insult Victor in the most vicious language he could - but in Victor's opinion, the insults had no effect at all.

Even the foul language had the opposite effect – a complete indication of Jace's failure.

Victor takes advantage of the victory to chase - Rod had given him a little special poison tongue counseling before.

"Your teammates betrayed you."

"That bunch of garbage isn't my teammates."

"Your Piltover has abandoned you."

"You think I'm complacent because I'm born in Piltover? No! I'm the pride of Piltover! ”

"But no one admits it."

"All of Piltover knows me, Future Guardian—not you bastard in the gutter."

"And then those who know your name, identify with the future Guardians, have no idea what you've been through."

"I beat you! Everybody knows that! ”

"People who believe in this have never had a common language with you."

"It doesn't matter!"

"That's important," Victor stepped forward, "and you know very well that all the people who admire your name are a bunch of mere mortals who don't know anything about you—and in the eyes of other idiots, you are a dog, a dog who wears clothes and still wags his tail at the Supreme Council. ”

Victor's words hit the nail on the head - at this moment, he completely and completely shredded all of Jace's pride.

This kind of verbal attack has no effect on a faceless person, but for a proud person like Jace, it is simply more terrifying than a knife in the heart.

At this moment, Jace finally realized that he had never had everything.

No friends, no loved ones, no one understands, no one agrees.

As Victor said, the name of the future guardian is very loud, but the people who believe in this name are ordinary people in Jace's eyes - to be honest, Jace really doesn't bother to get recognition from them.

Pride makes Jace think from the bottom of his heart that the vast majority of people are hardly of the same species as himself.

In a sense, this is a common problem of "geniuses", who look down on other people, and even look at others as if they were gorillas.

Does anyone feel fulfilled by the adoration of gorillas?

No.

Pride makes Jace crave real recognition, but because of pride, he is also used by the Supreme Council to never get the recognition he expects.

This contradiction has always tormented Jace, who usually buried his head in the laboratory and self-anesthetized, but now he has finally been torn open by Victor.

Jasci was utterly annoyed.

Without saying a word, Jace directly picked up the warhammer - and with the blessing of electric energy, Jace jumped high.

The heavy hammer slammed into Victor with the wind.

Prepared, Victor opened the force field under his feet and deflected Jace's attack, causing the earth-shattering blow to crash onto the ruins.

"Die!"

The blow was unsuccessful, and the war hammer in Jace's hand had turned into a cannon form, and a burst of electric energy went straight to Victor.

The energy core in Victor's chest lit up, and a diamond-shaped light shield could neutralize the cannon.

"You see, that's why I suggest you join the Glorious Evolution, pride has put you in such a situation, and then after realizing everything, you are blinded by anger - so pathetic."

As he moved, Victor's undulating voice continued, and unlike Jace, who was short of breath and distorted in tone due to excitement, the electronically synthesized voice was not disturbed by the battle.

This gives Victor a sense of unhurried stride – and of course, makes Jace even more irritable.

"Ahh Jace picked up the hammer again, "Damn Zaun, you bunch of trash, maggots, idiots, bastards, retarded people who only deserve to hide yourself in the sewers!" ”

In the face of Jace's menacing attack, this time Victor finally did not dodge.

Of course, Jace's hammer didn't hit the target - just as his hammer was at its highest, Jace was completely frozen in place by the sudden frost.

Rode, who had dealt with Sacco and was in a bad mood, heard Jace's swear clearly—so he raised his hand to freeze Jace in place.

"Sorry, I'm not hearing well, what did you just say?"

————————

A large part of Rod's poisonous tongue is due to...... He's dealt with a certain tentacle monster, a certain eyeball monster, and a certain mouth monster, so is there any Absolute Victor that sounds familiar?

This is the wisdom of the ancient gods (laughs).

Now, book lovers are invited to put their recommendation votes on the table and observe a minute of silence for Mr. Jace – hopefully he won't be overwhelmed.
