[Current World: League of Legends: Battle of Two Cities]

As the familiar darkness spread before his eyes, Ke Ling's nose smelled some pungent odor of chemical reagents. He opened his eyes and the scene in front of him had changed into completely different colors.

"The Battle of the Two Cities, I've actually seen this before. So this must be Zaun, right?"

Ke Ling glanced at the surrounding environment, and with just one glance, he was basically sure of this. Of course, the smell in his nose also proved that Piltover definitely did not smell like this. The smell of Zaun was authentic.

This "League of Legends: Two Cities" is derived from the League of Legends game. The story is set in Zaun and Piltover. The two cities were originally the same city, but eventually split into two completely opposing upper and lower cities.

The cause of the split was a disaster. At that time, the city was still called Zaun, and there was no Piltover.

The city of Zaun is a prosperous trading port located between the two continents of Valoran and Shurima. The rulers of Zaun want to carve a canal on the isthmus beneath their feet to open up a sea route between the two continents of Valoran and Shurima.

Once the canal is completed, Zaun will become a trade transit station between the two continents, and the tolls collected from the canal will be huge.

To this end, the city devoted huge manpower, financial resources and time to its construction, and the canal was eventually completed. However, the construction of the canal made a large part of Zaun city unstable.

The disaster finally struck, and an entire city area along the Peart River sank below the sea level on the west side. Thousands of people died in the disaster, and countless people lost their homes.

From then on, Piltover on the cliff rose from the ground and gained huge profits with the help of the canal, while Zaun under the cliff fell into decline and became the shadow and dark side of Piltover.

“I just don’t know what timeline this world is in.”

Ke Ling thought about it. If it was the timeline of the first part, then it would be quite early. After all, in the timeline of the first part, Vi and Jinx were still Violet and Bakugo.

"And it's not just about the timeline. What's the relationship between this world and the League of Legends universe?"

Ke Ling had some knowledge about the League of Legends universe. As far as he knew, this anime series known as the "official history" was actually a mad attempt to follow the book.

Not only did the background stories of a large number of heroes change, but some new heroes were also introduced. Most importantly, in this story, many heroes who were supposed to exist disappeared, and after the end of the second part, when the story of the War of the Two Cities ended, these heroes did not appear again.

Moreover, in the second part, the operation of parallel universes and multiple timelines was also played out, which is a classic case of forced development.

Therefore, it is normal for Ke Ling to have doubts after coming to this world. He has no way to confirm which timeline he is in. It is even possible that he is not in the timeline where the main drama is located. Maybe he is in the timeline where Wei Aolai died.

"But it doesn't really matter. The power of these two cities is really not enough in the entire League of Legends."

It's hard to figure it out, but Ke Ling is not worried. Compared with the entire background story, the power in Piltover and Zaun is indeed very ordinary. Even the "God Victor" who is praised to the sky is completely CJB in Ke Ling's view.

To put it bluntly, the battle record of "God Victor" is not very convincing. The visual expression is quite strong, but it is only for ordinary people. None of his opponents can show off their skills.

There is no way. The energy levels of Zaun and Piltover are still too weak. These two places are not famous for their individual combat power or military strength, but mainly rely on the development of technology.

However, in fact, Piltover and Zaun are not weak in strength relying solely on inventions and creations. What is really outrageous is that some of the products of inventions and creations never appear in the series at all.

For example, all of Heimerdinger's inventions and creations were never able to appear on the stage, and Heimerdinger did not show any combat capability at all, but the combat power of his creations was quite strong.

There is no way, we can only say that Heimerdinger is an outsider in the Twin Cities after all, so he was banned and the role was given to others.

In addition to Heimerdinger, there is also one of the manipulators behind Piltover, the crystallization of Hextech, the Steel Shadow, and the person in power behind the Ferros family: Lady Camille, who disappeared directly in the story.

After all, once the story of the Twin Cities became official history, the origin story of Camille, who should have lived for hundreds of years, was directly destroyed, and this local strongman of the Twin Cities simply disappeared on the spot.

The most crucial thing is that Janna, the only person with some status in the entire Twin Cities, the demigoddess who cannot be erased in the history of Zaun and Piltover, did not even appear in the Battle of the Twin Cities.

You know, the huge explosion caused by the digging of the canal, the disaster that split Zaun in two, was all quelled thanks to Janna's intervention. Otherwise, how could a disaster of that magnitude result in only a few thousand casualties?
All these changes make the existence of these two cities like a clown, and anyone can take control of the situation in these two cities.

This also makes the so-called "God Victor"'s record completely exaggerated.

If "God Victor" defeats Janna head-on, then he still has some value, at least he can be used to discuss combat effectiveness.

After all, Janna is a true demigod who has existed since very ancient times. When the Twin Cities was still called "Oshravazuan", she had already become the patron saint of this city.

Moreover, after the fall of the Shurima Empire, when the remaining Ascended ones were creating war and chaos, and when the Darkin were wreaking havoc on the world, Janna was still able to protect the city in the turmoil and strife, preventing Zaun from being trampled by the Darkin's iron hooves. This proves her strength.

If "God Victor" could defeat Janna head-on, his record would still be valuable, but unfortunately he didn't.

In this situation, Ke Ling does not approve of the combat capability of "God Victor" at all. The existence of "God Victor" is more like the shit that the production team came up with on the spur of the moment. It is extremely broken and has no reference to the official historical plot at all. It is extremely outrageous.

"So now that I'm here, I will definitely not let things go to that timeline."

Ke Ling made a decision. He must change everything, even if it meant making himself clear-minded.

Moreover, the appearance of Ke Ling is indeed an "unknown variable", a variable that even "God Victor" did not anticipate, a variable that exists outside all timelines.

Ke Ling walked forward and walked into the city of Zaun.

Zaun, located beneath the ravines and canyons surrounding Piltover, is an environment devastated by industrial waste and technological experiments.

The relationship between the two cities has deteriorated, with economic gap and environmental pollution being very important factors.

And why is the environment in Zaun like this?

Of course, it was because Upper City Piltover treated Lower City Zaun as a garbage dump, dumping all waste materials, wastewater, and wastewater into Zaun. However, Zaun's own specialty, alchemy technology, was also one of the culprits, but in the final analysis, it was still Piltover's fault, as alchemy technology was invented by the people of Zaun in order to survive.

As the "dark mirror" of Piltover, Zaun has not benefited from the canal at all. Instead, it has taken on a large number of highly polluting industrial activities, which has become the price of Piltover's development.

The industrial waste dumped by Piltover and Zaun's own alchemical experiments have jointly led to serious deterioration of Zaun's environment.

Today, Zaun's land has been eroded by chemicals, vegetation has been almost extinct, and there are a large number of biological mutations.

It is no exaggeration to say that this lower city is a hell on earth and a virus incubator.

Under such circumstances, it is only natural that Zaun would hate Upper Piltover.

Looking up, the smoke exhaust pipes in the sky were leaking various colors of smoke. The light was dim, and the colored glass reflected strange light. The light in the "sky" was filtered into strange colors.

Looking further down, highly toxic wastewater and various excrement accumulated in the downstream area. A river could actually show various different colors. The poisonous gas was almost visible to the naked eye and the smell was pungent.

“This place actually has its own aesthetic characteristics.

Ke Ling had worked in Night City before, and he could find a sense of familiarity in Zaun, but in fact the two cities had completely different styles, only the connotations were somewhat similar.

As an underground city, Zaun has a winding and crisscrossing terrain and overlapping building structures. It looks very strange and cannot be seen in ordinary places. The architectural style is very different from Night City.

But the neon lights and alchemical fluorescence that are everywhere, and the dark colors, are still somewhat similar. Zaun is a wild steampunk aesthetic, while Night City is a more sci-fi cyberpunk.

Come out! Tanjiro Kamado!
Ke Ling waved his hand and opened the "Gate of Shadows", releasing Tanjiro Kamado who was about to face the adventure in another world. Of course, Sakonji Urokodaki and Nezuko Kamado were also released together.

"Ugh~"

As soon as they were released, Kamado Tanjiro and the other two began to retch.
There's no way, it was just too sudden. I was just in the Narrow Mist Mountain with its singing birds and fragrant flowers, and suddenly I came to Zaun, a place where taking a breath can shorten your life by several years. It's very normal to have this reaction. All normal people in Zaun are like this.

That’s right, the Zaun people themselves can’t stand it, so gas masks are a must. Even the authentic Zaun people can’t stay in the poison gas all the time. After all, they are still human beings, and have not completely mutated into freaks that can survive by breathing poison gas.

"Where is this? Brother Ke Ling."

Tanjiro Kamado quickly held his breath and adjusted his breathing. He and Urokodaki Sakonji were people who specialized in breathing techniques, so they were naturally able to control themselves. The worst that could happen was that they could just breathe less.

However, under such circumstances, the combat effectiveness of Urokodaki Sakonji and Kamado Tanjiro will be greatly weakened. This is just like the Upper Rank 2 Douma releasing ice mist in the air to corrode the swordsmen's lungs. The poisonous gas in the air has a similar effect.

"Take it."

Ke Ling opened the "Gate of Shadows" again, took out several gas masks and put them on the three of them. In fact, Nezuko Kamado didn't need to wear one, after all, her body would slowly adapt to this environment. Moreover, as a ghost, this kind of poisonous gas was nothing, after all, a ghost's body was not affected by ordinary poisons.

But Nezuko Kamado also wanted it because she thought it was smelly and awful.

"This is Zaun, a terrible place."

Ke Ling said that this introduction was very direct. This was indeed a very bad place, and the people of Zaun themselves could not deny it.

"It's... terrible."

After looking at the surrounding environment, Tanjiro Kamado complained that there was nothing he could do about it because the era he lived in was still relatively primitive.

Of course, the main reason is that the place where Tanjiro Kamado lived was relatively primitive. In fact, industrial pollution was also very serious in some places of that era, but he had not seen it.

So, now that he has come directly to this steampunk-style city, and it is a cruel and dark-style steampunk city, Tanjiro Kamado would naturally feel shocked.

"Let's go and find a place where the concentration of poison gas is low."

Ke Ling smiled. He had already adapted to it, and the poisonous gas had no effect on him. But there was no need to do anything here. The important thing to do was to find someone to ask about the situation.

Looking at the harsh environment around him, the system might have thrown him directly to the lowest level of Zaun. After all, not all areas in Zaun are so terrifying. So many people definitely cannot live in Zaun. The concentration of poison gas is too outrageous.

“There are still people living in this place.”

At first, Urokodaki Sakonji thought that this was just a garbage dump or something like that and it was abandoned, but after listening to what Ke Ling said, it was obviously not the case and there were still people living here.

"Of course, this is a big city."

Ke Ling nodded. Zaun was indeed not small, with many districts. Piltover was not small either. After all, this city had a long history. Except for being conquered by the Shurima Empire in its heyday, the city had always maintained its independence.

The most crucial thing is that when the remaining ascenders, also known as the "Darkspawn", were fighting, Zaun was a pure land under the protection of Janna. It absorbed a large number of refugees and grew stronger. This made Zaun's ambition continue to expand, and it came up with the idea of ​​digging a canal. An ordinary small city would never have such an idea.

"It's really shocking. How do they survive here?"

Tanjiro Kamado was very shocked, but also a little impressed. He thought that the people living here must have very strong wills.

"People have to survive, no matter how hard they try."

Ke Ling also felt that the people of Zaun were indeed very resolute and strong.
