Rumble!

Under the watchful eye of the Trifali Council, Karma's Sanskrit shield was shattered.

The spear slashed, piercing the shoulder armor, and crimson blood flowed down the dark skin like a molten spring.

Karma's expression became more and more solemn, and he stretched out his slender right hand and stroked the wound, and the aura on his body became even more unpredictable.

"The Soul of Ionia should be more than that." Svein whispered.

With the protection of the soul of Ionia, Karma's strength should be not inferior to that of Atrius.

Ryan chuckled, "It's better to say that Atridus's new power is mutually exclusive to Karma. ”

He reached out and grabbed the frame, and the footage was zoomed in.

Everyone could clearly see that the wound on Karma's shoulder was glowing with a dark green light.

Is that...

Ruined light.

"Dilapidation symbolizes death and destruction. Karma, a symbol of nature and balance. The two are naturally hostile. Ryan explained.

It was precisely because the two were mutually exclusive that Atrius sensed Karma's aura and ran straight in this direction.

Not only is the two energies restraining each other, but Atrius was able to suppress Karma, but more importantly, because the power of the person behind it is much stronger than that of the soul of Ionia.

"He's called Atreus, he has a good will, but he doesn't have the strength to match." Vladimir, who sat behind Ryan, spoke.

He looked at the table on the table, his eyebrows arched high, and his well-cultivated voice was full of undisguised regret.

In the picture, Atrius is constantly attacking, and his guns are deadly, but his expression is not firm, revealing entanglement, complexity and unwillingness.

It was clear to everyone that Atrius was not completely controlled, and that he still retained his consciousness.

But alas...

Just like when he was possessed by the War Star Spirit, now he can only watch his body do those things against his will.

Compared with the power of the War Star Spirit, the control from the underworld is more domineering and more difficult to break free.

"He is like an indispensable pawn on the chessboard, the Star Spirit needs him, Maudecaesar needs him, and we need him."

Ryan leaned back in the chair of the council, his face smiling with a clear and comfortable sense of insight into the world.

The Star Spirit needs someone who can use its full strength in the Land of Runeterra.

Maudecaesar needs a strong vanguard.

And they just want to clear some obstacles in front of the Empire.

Laugh at!!!

Atris let out a long whistle and stabbed Karma again with his spear.

This time, Karma's eyes flashed with a green light.

Clearly, she wasn't just cut in two.

However, the legacy of Karma and the spirit of Ionia are protecting her from being as easily infected as Atrius.

"Are we going to make a move?"

Darius, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and he moved his legs under the table, his eyes flashing with fierce intent.

His previous battle with Morgana had razed the nearby mountains to the ground, but it had ended in a draw.

With complete control over his power, he desperately wants to fight the strong.

Hearing his proposal, Ryan shook his head calmly, and said lightly with a smile:

"With the Soul of Ionia, no one can kill Karma. We don't have to make a move, we just have to wait now. ”

Bang!!!

There was a tremor and cracking sound.

The rocks on which Kalmar had stood were shattered by a shot from Atreus, and they all turned into rubble and fell into the sea.

Karma himself was picked off by the ensuing attacks, and his dark brown skin was covered with many deep and shallow scars.

On those scars, a dark green glow shone.

Karma fell to the ground, a dark green glow corrupting her body.

The people of the Trivary Council watched this scene nervously, for the empire, the corrupted Karma was the Karma who would give more opportunities.

"He succeeded."

It didn't take long for Ryan to whisper.

It was also at that moment that Karma had an extra dark green crown on his head, very similar to the one on the top of Atrius's head.

Is that... A symbol of decay and corruption.

"Two demigod-level combat powers, it's kind of interesting." Darius's legs under the table stomped on the floor twice, his eyes hard to hide his excitement.

This world is far more interesting than he once thought, and the strong people come out of the shadows one by one and appear in front of the world.

But all enemies will be reduced to dust in front of the Empire!

"On the bright side, the strength they have now has surpassed us." Having said that, Ryan's expression didn't mean anything serious.

Foyego, Atris, Karma, Hammerstone, Vex, Hecarim...

The power of Shadow Island has expanded to the limit.

This is the tacit understanding between the star spirits and them, once it exceeds a certain value, it is not easy to control...

"Hmph, none of them can fight." Darius scoffed.

If Ryan hadn't stopped him, he realized that his current self could punch two.

"According to estimates, based on the speed of black fog on Shadow Island, it will cover the Bilgewater area in about three months." Svein finally whispered, pointing his hand to the map on the table.

"Three months," Ryan said after a moment of thought, tapping lightly on the armrest of his seat, "That's enough time, the Empire's focus will continue to be on Acacia." ”

When it comes to Acacia, he also has a headache.

The Empire's military forces on the Shurima continent have long been mobilized, and the manpower and resources in the central area of Shurima have been moved to the east.

At present, the entire Empire's Southern Front Legion has focused its main attention on Acacia, which is located southeast of Shurima.

Compared to the existing forces on the mainland, the Void was more worthy of their attention.

Under the leadership of Katerina and Kaisha, the empire is slowly advancing in the direction of Acacia.

"Let me go! Just I wanted to give it a try. Darius couldn't resist the urge to move his body, and volunteered again.

Since the completion of the leap and the fusion of powers, he has not had the opportunity to show his current strength.

Ryan glanced at Darius, but instead of answering immediately, he pressed one hand to his chin and considered the feasibility of the matter.

The Empire and the Void have been at war for more than once.

In the face of low-level ethereal spirits, the empire can destroy them at a small cost.

But as long as high-level void creatures appear, the legion is in danger of being wiped out.

The Southern Front was getting closer to Acacia, and the casualties were surging.

The current Acacia is not as good as there thousands of years ago, at least it will not wipe out all ordinary people except for the Ascended, but it will also make it particularly difficult for ordinary soldiers of the Empire to advance.

In the current situation, there is indeed a need for a demigod-level combat power in charge:

"Advance slowly, don't cross the boundaries of Acacia."

As soon as Ryan's words fell, Darius grinned:

"Yes!"

He stroked the battle axe beside him, his expression full of bloodthirsty intent.

The Northern Front had Draven in charge, but he had no battle to fight.

The fronts on the Western and Eastern Fronts had long since shrunk, and he could not vent at all.

Now that the southern front is at war with the Void, he doesn't want to miss it.

Svein and Ryan glanced at each other, and after nodding slightly, he said unhurriedly:

"Councilor Victor, Councilor Oriana."

"You command!"

The mechanical sounds of a man and a woman sounded at the same time.

One of the voices came from Victor's mechanical creation, and the other came from Oriana, who had recently returned.

"Study the Void and find a way to destroy them once and for all." Svein's sonorous voice was like a sword unsheathed.

"Understood!"

Victor and Orianna answered.

After a few more specific discussions, the members of the Trivary Council disappeared from their seats.

In the entire Trifali Council Chamber, only Ryan and Svein remained.

"Is the Commander satisfied with the current Empire?"

As Ryan spoke, he and Svein stood up from their seats, and the two of them slowly walked out of the hall and stood beside the stone railing, looking down at the immortal fortress below.

Looking down from above, the entire immortal fortress has changed dramatically from what it once was.

The current empire is truly at the pinnacle of the Runeterra.

"Noxus—" Svein paused, and looked up, his eyes as if the entire empire was reflected:

"It's rising!"

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Ryan stretched out his fingers and spread his fingers, letting the wind sweep through the sky: "Do you remember the imagination when we met?" ”

"Ten years ago, an immature boy told me that empires are full of decay and asked me if I should create a great empire together." There was a teasing hint in Svein's voice.

"Ten years from now, the empire will be ruled by Trefali, and it will stand above the stars." Ryan's outstretched hand clenched slowly with strength, as if he wanted to hold the stars in it.

"I never envisioned the path of the Empire today, but as I walked along this path, I could feel that the Empire was growing stronger day by day."

The black cloak behind Svein fluttered in the wind, and the wings of the giant crow were faintly visible.

"Darius' success proves that we are on the right path." There was a light flickering in Ryan's warm dark eyes, "With the help of magic, we will one day be stronger than Shurima once was." ”

In the face of Ryan's words, Svein nodded slightly: "But as you once said, I won't be Azir, and you won't be Zeroth. ”

"After 3 months, the power consumed by the world's runes will be restored." Ryan said suddenly.

"Is it...," Svein raised the corners of his mouth extremely lightly, "I don't know if I am qualified to be the second Leaper with my service to the Empire." ”

"If you don't qualify, then the empire can't find a second person."

Ryan looked into the distance and muttered:

"The wings of a raven will one day obscure the entire empire."

Svein chuckled, smoothed the wrinkles on his coat, and raised his head to let his gaze look far away:

"I'm looking forward to the magical heyday you depicted, the empire where mortals can enslave the gods, and I'm looking forward to..."

As he spoke, he turned and paced toward the Trifali Council Chamber.

There, he still has a mountain of government affairs to deal with.

"There will be a day like this..."

Looking at his departing back, Ryan's lips moved slightly, giving his promise, and then the figure dissipated in the wind.

......

Port of Zaun.

When Lucian and Senna stepped out of the back seat of the mechanical car, they were suddenly shocked by the behemoth in front of them.

"This is our ship?"

Facing this majestic giant ship that shimmered with metallic light, Lucian couldn't help but exclaim.

Hundreds of meters long and tens of meters wide, it was so huge and majestic that the sailing ships parked nearby looked like a group of newborn dwarves clustered at the feet of giants.

He'd been in Bilgewater for so long, and he'd never seen such a miracle.

"The Ascendant, with a total length of 112 meters and a width of 13 meters. It has a maximum speed of 50 km/h and is armed with 4 G30 guns, 1 Z711 Hex gun and 12 Z12 Hex machine guns. Sivir reached out and patted the hull of the boat, and there was a proud sound of "Bangbangbang".

In this world, there is nothing that money can't do.

Even if there is, it's just a matter of how much to add.

"Oh my God!"

"The pirates are on top!"

Amid a mixture of exclamations, the members of the Ascension Pirate Regiment stepped onto the deck, their eyes straight as they looked around.

This kind of super giant ship, let alone touching, they have never even seen it.

"This is the Z711 Hex gun?"

Senna couldn't help but point to the cannon in the center of the deck with a diameter of more than 5 meters, this cannon is inlaid with 10 magic cubes around it, and the thick barrel can stuff people into it.

Even if it wasn't fired, everyone could think of its firepower.

"Hey, yes! That's it! ”

Sivir jumped on the base, patted the huge barrel, and proudly said:

"Just this artillery, one shot... Rumble! ”

She spread her hands and said with a feverish look in her eyes:

"A ship tens of meters long can be directly blown into slag."

"It's not cheap, is it?" said Lucian.

It is no wonder that in the past two days in Zu'an, he has deeply felt the charm of money.

As long as there are enough Trivary gold coins, anything can be bought.

Of course... They are shy in their pockets, and they can only look at a lot of things.

Who would have thought... The 'beauty of industry' liquor that Sivir ordered them at the time cost 2 Trefali coins for a glass.

Sivir grinned and said, "If this artillery doesn't use merit points, it's about 10,000 Trefalis gold coins." The magic cube is charged, and each shot costs about hundreds of Trefalis coins. ”

With fire in her eyes, she said without hesitation:

"You know what? With such a large ship, Zuan has a whole fleet under his command. Their firepower is much stronger than ours, I've inquired... As for the Sasnam that Siloh talked about last time, it only takes one round of the fleet's firepower to sink its entire island. ”

"This..."

Lucian gasped and glanced at Senna, unable to hide the surprise in each other's eyes.

Directly let a Sasnam-level island sink, what kind of god-like strength is this.

No wonder...

Even Zuan, who is affiliated with Noxus, has such strength, and they really can't imagine how strong Noxus is.

"Hahaha, of course. After this round, it is estimated that it will cost 10,000 Triphali gold coins. Sivir's eyes lit up, and he said as a matter of course, "As long as you have money, there is nothing you can't do." When we make a lot of money, Zaun can build such a fleet for us. ”

"When the time comes!"

Sivir opened his arms and said in a seductive language:

"One round, all things are destroyed!"

Hearing this, the members of the Ascension Pirate Regiment were all flushed, and they kept exclaiming:

"The regimental commander is mighty!"

"For the pirates!"

"Fart, for the sake of Quavary gold!"

"Hahahaha, long live the gold coins! Long live the fleet! ”

“......”

Even Lucian and Senna were in high spirits at this time.

Hex's weapons can hurt wraiths, so it's not a dream to have more of these ships and bulldoze Shadow Isle.

"Commander, how much is this ship!?" Lucian asked excitedly.

He's like... Found a way to deal with the Isle of Shadows!

"Hahaha, it's only 50,000 Trefali gold coins." Sivir replied lightly, and then gave the order to sail in high spirits:

"Little ones, get ready to go!"

"Goal! Bill Geewater! ”

"Good !!!"

Unlike the enthusiastic pirate group, Lucian's face was dull, and he kept muttering "50,000" in his mouth...

It wasn't until Senna tapped him on the shoulder that he came back to his senses.

Lucian's face was ruthless, and he took a deep breath and said:

"Gold! Gold! All for the gold! ”

Senna smiled and nodded, squeezing his hand as if to give him approval.

The Ascendant departed harbor and made a rapid heading towards Bilgewater to the southeast.

It was also around this time that an airship engraved with the coat of arms of Noxus arrived at Piltover Airport.

At this moment at the airport, the Picheng law enforcement officer stood in two columns, as if he was greeting a big man.

"Salute!"

Seeing the two figures walking down side by side of the airship, Rep. Mel of Piltover, who was already standing below, drank.

Syllable!

All the magistrates saluted the first two men and looked at them with respect.

One of the two was Seraphine, a representative from Noxus.

And the other is the pride of their Piltover, Jess Tallis!

"Good afternoon, Councilor Mel, your face is still beautiful."

Seraphine interjected after Mel and Jace had hugged each other.

"Good afternoon, Lady Seraphine." Mel made a noble salute and smiled, "The Aerospace Battleship prepared for you has been built and is currently docked at the port of Piltover. ”

"Aerospace battleships?" Jace's face was slightly pale.

Seeing this, Mel explained: "This is a high-tech amphibious warship of the highest technological level built by the Empire, Zaun and Piltover by the Empire, and the efforts of the Empire..."

It is equipped with a large number of G80 guns newly developed by Professor Heimerdinger, as well as five Z718 Hex guns developed by Professor Victor. The power of a ship is comparable to that of the Zaun fleet. ”

Hearing these parameters, Jace's face darkened slightly: "This kind of combat power is enough to destroy Piltover." ”

Mel shook his head and exclaimed, "This is not the strongest point of the Aerospace Battleship. In order to improve its air combat capabilities, it is equipped with 12 L3 Alchemy Wyverns, which are small Wyverns specially used for aerial combat. ”

“l3... It's all about the latest technology in the Empire. Miss Seraphine, the Empire really values you. Jace smiled wryly.

Such a powerful battleship could not be built even with all the strength of Piltover.

He also has some of his contributions to these technologies, so he can better understand the gold content of them.

The L3 is the third iteration of the Alchemy Wyvern, which abandons the disadvantages of the L2 type's huge size and insufficient output efficiency.

This was Victor's latest idea after experimenting on the Northern Front, and he had seen the L2 alchemy dragon slaughter tens of thousands of barbarian legions in five minutes.

As an advanced version of R&D, L3 is more efficient at killing...

"It's all for the Empire!"

Seraphine didn't hesitate to speak when she saw the two teachers step down from the airship.

She is also full of happiness in her heart at the moment.

Really... With his own two teachers, his treatment will never be bad.

There is nothing in the world that a teacher can't solve!

If there is, then add a teacher!

With such powerful firepower, Seraphine is confident that even a demigod can match it!
