Chapter Forty-Nine: Cracks?
Runeterra.
Today is the moment when the end of the last prophecy that Kieran the Keeper of Time has made with his life is coming. Although the vast starry sky of the Perennial Runeterras shows a rare clarity today, the heroes who guard all directions of the Runeterras are tense. Serious eyes focused on a certain direction.
"It's about to start......" Izawa took a breath, his sweaty hands clenching unconsciously.
The nine "Source Plan" warriors who had reached the "Main God" level with full attention stared at the location where the rift would appear from afar, and waited for the battle.
I don't know how long it took to "click......", at a certain point in time, a small but clear sound sounded in everyone's ears from nowhere. Everyone didn't dare to relax, and their momentum increased by more than one level at that moment.
With that slight but clear sound, a pitch-black crack appeared in the originally starry sky. The crack gradually widened, like a cracked egg, and everyone stared at the strange and prophesied crack with glowing eyes, with only the slight sound of wind around them.
After the crack spread to what it thought was a satisfactory size, it ceased to move. The cracks were pitch black, with a turbid and barren aura, filled with boundless mystery and darkness.
After a long pause, from that crack did not emerge the prophesied countless unknown creatures that destroyed the continent, but a few familiar and ordinary outlines slowly sketched......
"It's ...... Human?" Izawa carefully and vigilantly identified the figures slowly emerging from the cracks with his not-so-poor eyesight, and did not let go of the attack posture in his hand. After the other party was fully revealed in front of his eyes, Izawa froze, he was completely shocked by what he saw. The other party is not a strange creature, just a few humans who can float in the air. And unbelievably, among those people, Izawa saw people he knew......
"Pop ......" The pink metal sword in Fiona's hand fell heavily to the ground and turned into countless points of light scattered in all directions, and she was closest to the crack, so she naturally saw it most clearly. If we take off the mechanical armor, we will be able to clearly see Fiona's beautiful face, which is slightly distorted by shock.
"That'...... No, it will not be...... Am I mistaken......" The thick and ancient magic book that was opened in Ruize's hand for some reason slowly turned in the wind, and his face showed a rare look of surprise, "I really didn't expect the scene of meeting again to be so ......"
Wayne snorted softly, her pale face was disbelieving and shocked, and Zhao Xin, who was beside her, tightened her thick eyebrows and was silent.
Lux opened her bloodless mouth slightly, unable to make a sound, her beautiful face trembling slightly with shock, and there was panic and uneasiness on it. After a long time, she called softly in a bitter smile, "Brother...... His Royal Highness the Prince......"
Yes! Among the few people who appeared in the crack that would bring about the end were Gavin IV, who was the next successor to the continental powerhouse Demacia, and Galen, who had the title of Demacia's power! After Gavin and the others entered everyone's sight, the surroundings fell into a strange dead silence, and there was a little more embarrassment in the tense atmosphere.
"You ...... It's best to give us a reasonable explanation, whether you know what this rift means or not......" After a long time, Leona, the goddess of dawn, calmed her confused thoughts and said in a flat voice and tone as best she could, "Gavin, Prince of Demacia, and Galen, the power of Demacia, why did you emerge from the rift that will bring about the end of the world?" and...... Where do the people around you come from?"
Karma raised her head, her gaze swept over the people from the void behind Gavin, and her gaze lingered on Riven's body for a few more seconds.
"This, there must be some misunderstanding in this......" Fiona glanced at Ruiz, then at Gavin and Galen, and hurriedly waved her hand, but her words seemed so pale and weak,
The long-lost Prince of Demacia and the power of Demacia emerged from the crack that was dubbed "Doomsday", and everyone knew what that meant. Because no one would question the authority of Kieran, the keeper of time, and the cost of their lives added to its authenticity, even if Gavin and Galen were from the mainland, there was not a single one present who did not associate them with the apocalypse, not even the people of Demacia.
"Misunderstanding?" Caterina said sharply in a sharp voice, fiddling with the mechanical dagger in her hand, "What misunderstanding do you think there can be between the two of them emerging from the rift prophesied by the Keeper of Time, Master Kieran, which will lead to the destruction of the continent? ”
The sound of Caterina's clinging power clearly reached everyone's ears, causing the scales in the hearts of some who were still hesitant to tilt slightly and fatally.
"Someday, I'll let you say goodbye to your heart......" Wayne looked coldly at Katerina, who seemed to feel her gaze, but still graceful and calm.
"Now it's better to think about how to help His Royal Highness Jiawen ......exonerate him," Zhao Xin sighed lightly, looking at Jiawen who was still calm, he was a citizen of Demacia, and naturally chose to believe in Jiawen, who was the prince, "Now is a very unfavorable situation for them." ”
"It seems that you are not popular with everyone on your continent. Sindra looked at the calm and calm man in front of her with amusement.
"It's up to you, Sindra. In the face of Katerina's sharp questioning, Gavin did not choose to refute, and did not even look at her. Gavin is well aware that in this case, too much discernment is pointless, and it is even possible to make the situation worse by getting darker and darker, because no one will doubt the prophecy made by the powerful Time Keeper, especially if it is certain. In addition, there are certain countries that are hostile to Demacia, and it would be a good thing for them if the next successor to the king of Demacia died. In this situation, Jia Wen wisely chose to remain silent and directly let Sindra start the ritual of God's Silence. After all, as long as God's Silence begins, no one can stop it.
Sindra nodded lightly, the corners of her mouth curvading, showing a very small appreciation for this human with a sense of the big picture.
Before Jiawen and the others were locked by the powerful momentum, Sindra gently closed her white hands and made a cross in front of her with her fingers. With the appearance of that cross, a white light with a powerful aura slowly climbed up her body, golden obscure lines appeared on her hands, and her purple pupils were gradually replaced by gold, blooming with brilliance. It was as if she had completely changed into a person, and Sindra was solemn and deep at this time.
Everyone was stunned by this strange and rare scene, including Jiawen and others.
Circles of coercion poured out of Sindra's body, or rather, from the lines on her hands. People who feel the overwhelming coercion invariably have a deep sense of powerlessness, without exception.
"This ...... It won't be ......" Leona was tempted to stop Syndra's mysterious and familiar ritual, but a deep sense of powerlessness made it difficult for her to move. An old memory slowly came to her mind.
After the short but powerful ritual was completed, a loud voice that seemed to come from eternity hit everyone's eardrums: "I, the prince of Demacia, Jiawen IV, represent tomorrow and the future, and challenge the Silence of the Gods to the entire Valoran continent, from now on!"
Gavin's voice came from afar through his powerful power, and not only everyone present heard it, but even the people of the entire Valoran continent, as well as the people of the Ionian city-states, and even the people in the Sea of Conquerors and the Sea of Watchers were shocked by the sound of piercing the sky.
Everyone froze in place after the coercion disappeared in an instant. Challenge...... It's a situation that no one expected.
Shivana looked at the tall man who had recovered from the "Dragon Slayer" from a distance with dark pupils, her cold face was indifferent, and her hidden hands were already soaked with sweat and tightly twisted, and the land around her was inadvertently completely blackened.
"Challenge?" Caterina recovered from her momentary stupor, her stunning face sneering and surprised. "How many of you will challenge the whole of Valoran?"
"God's silence?" the hard words came from Karma's slightly open mouth, and she looked at Sindra in disbelief.
The people on the mainland lost their voices, and Lux staggered, nearly falling to the ground. Wayne shuddered slightly, unable to calm down any longer.
"Is it true that I'm the only one who doesn't know the Silence of the Gods?" an awkward and embarrassing thought came to Galen's mind after seeing the reactions of the people on the mainland.
In fact, among the mainlanders present, in addition to Galen, there was another person who didn't know God's Silence, but she had a source plan: ambition, so she couldn't see her expression. She also fell into surprise after she secretly searched for the Source Project: Ambition and learned about God's Silence, but her surprise was also a little awkward—the same embarrassment as Galen.
"Once the Silence of the Gods is activated, it cannot be canceled...... You ......" Leona froze, and the faint power of the contract around her made her unable to let go of her surprise.
In the starry sky, the faint blue energy slowly flowed, and at a certain moment, the warm light was clearly outlined in the Milky Way, and the outline of a dragon slowly emerged.
Seeing the unfamiliar outline, a touch of familiarity rose in Jiawen's heart, "Long time no see, Jiawen." The silhouette of the dragon smiled indifferently, and the starry sky came alive at that moment, "I didn't expect to meet again in the silence of the gods......"
Jiawen was stunned for a moment, and finally recognized him from the familiar and calm voice of the other party, Jiawen nodded slightly towards the silhouette, and did not speak.
