LOL: I just turned 18, let me fight back and be reborn

Chapter 366 "Ascending to Godhood"!
Because this year's qualifying rounds feature WBG, a team with an explosive LPL fanbase and an all-star lineup, and they were even grouped with DK, this stage of the tournament, which is usually not very popular, has received a tremendous amount of attention this year.

The venue was packed, and the live broadcast room was even more crowded, with an astonishingly high level of popularity.

The comments section was filled with urging, "Open the door!"

The reason for its immense popularity is that Riot Games will release the theme song MV, which they've been holding back for several days, at today's S-series opening ceremony.

The theme song "Gods" was released a while ago. Ye Bo listened to it for a while and thought it was pretty good. Riot Games, as a "music company," does have some skill in this area.

However, online reviews are mixed. Some people think this year's performance was lackluster, and the five female singers' performances didn't feel particularly exciting just by listening.

Of course, it's also possible that Riot Games kept the promotional video under wraps and announced that it would be released at the opening ceremony of the World Championship.

Ye Bo vaguely knew some "insider information".

After all, several Riot Games staff members had come to interview him about many of his "personal matters," such as when he started playing League of Legends and who the first professional team and player he knew was.
Although he hadn't seen the finished film, he estimated that he would have a significant amount of screen time.

The countdown has already begun on the live feed.

The lights alternated between bright and dim, and a gradually rising and soaring symphonic chorus came from afar.

On the large, dark screen hanging at the scene, the image flashed briefly.

A boy who looks extremely young appears in the picture, clumsily "holding up" a blue magic book—using the hard back of the book cover to violently "smash" at the melee soldier in front of him, engaging in a difficult hand-to-hand combat!
That was clearly the wandering mage, one of the top beginner heroes.

A survey conducted by foreign media revealed that many League of Legends players said that the beginner champion they used in their "first League of Legends game" influenced the roles they later became proficient in.

For example, someone who played Demacia in the first game later preferred to play top lane, someone who picked Master Yi preferred to play jungle, and someone who picked Ashe preferred to play ADC.
As the intro's simulated "God, God!" cry gradually becomes shorter and more powerful.

The sacred rhythm, reminiscent of a war cry, gradually intensifies.

The boy finally learned to open the blue magic book in his hand, then put it down, picked up a scythe and a kunai from under the table, and began to learn ninjutsu.

His opponents have gradually shifted from melee minions to ranged minions, siege minions, super minions, the Vile Throat, and Baron Nashor.
"Holy crap? This face looks like Master Ip!?"

"Wow, this is impressive!! The main character of the theme song, right?! You actually hid this treasure, Fist!"

"I bet Dafei is in it. I remember he didn't even make it to the World Championship in S8, but he still had half of his screen time in the promotional video!"

In the audience, some people had already recognized the anthropomorphic image of the anime face and shouted excitedly.

In fact, the theme song MV for the League of Legends World Championship every year revolves around the previous year's champion, which has been a tradition for more than a decade.

It can also be described as the "hidden trophy" of the S-series champion.

Just as the "Shadow Fist" in the scene was satisfied with his three kicks [Phantom Cherry Blossom Slash] and beheaded Baron Nash, a light suddenly flashed in the distance, and the red team logo soared into the sky.

The logo of 'WE' appears to be engraved on it.

Unfortunately, the team emblem never reached the top before plummeting to the ground. A small monster's 'Assassin Star' emblem shot into the sky, staining the heavens.

But, in the next instant.

A Shadow Stream Wrist Blade suddenly pierced through the air, its blade slicing through the sky, seemingly intent on cleaving the entire canyon in two.
The boy was looking up at everything in the distant sky, his eyes seemingly fascinated.

When he looked down again at the precious head of Baron Nash that he was holding tightly in his hand, he casually tossed it away.

Perhaps from the moment one looks up at the sky, a seed has already been planted.

His instincts told him that what he wanted was there.

And as the scene flickers and fades, it's the eve of the boy carrying his backpack, pushing open the door, and embarking on his journey.

He carried only a kunai scythe, a magic staff, a two-colored katana, and a piece of rainbow bubble gum.
This is what you came for (Fate strikes the piano keys)

"Blood on the game ball"

"Eyes on the pulpit kid (looking up at the stage)"

This is your moment.

As the first verse of lyrics bursts forth, the light and shadow outside the window where the boy is located alternate, and his face seems to be gradually becoming more and more "familiar" as it turns.

The perspective constantly shifts between the game and reality.

In the midst of this dreamlike transformation, when I saw the boy walk up to the players' seats and yank 'Zoe' off the chair...
It's obvious someone on the sidelines has broken down.
"I think the Church has just opened."

"Welcome to the big show!"

The melody gradually builds to a climax.

The stone statue Galio, with its wings outstretched and its body thrusting backward, smashed through the barrier of the summit with a powerful punch, bringing into view the long road ahead and the light shining down upon it.

next moment.

The scene of the real world flashed by, and the boy was already sitting on that dazzling stage.

Ten years ago, he saw the face that had severed the canyon with that blade on the horizon.

Right now, I'm sitting right across from you.

This was also the boy's first S-series tournament, marking his entry into the world championships.

The scene quickly shifts back to the world of Summoner's Rift.

The moment the boy stepped through the dividing gate at the foot of the mountain, the once clear sky suddenly became overcast, casting a large shadow.

There was a loud explosion.

The smoke from the mist formation exploded all over the ground, and the Falcon Dance, which had been flying silently half a step ahead, shot towards the former's neck!
The three gold stars hanging on his chest proved his identity.

Even though it was his first time stepping onto this arena, the boy, who was extremely familiar with the ninjutsu used by that person, had already sensed it. He straightened his feet and took a half step back—and "the other him" appeared in front of him.

But this seemed to be of no use to the cold-blooded masked assassin, who could easily kill both of them at once.

However, the double shadow suddenly disappeared from the spot.

The former's eyes widened suddenly, and then he lost all ability to leap over the edge, until he was directly taken off the cliff!
"Next on the ladder (lying low and waiting)"

Then we're going to ride right into the Sun.

"Like it's the day my kingdom comes!"

The music reached its climax.

However, after defeating the masked assassin and his team, the sky above the boy, obscured by clouds, not only failed to reveal the light but seemed to grow even more sinister.

His teammates, who had just finished their battle, seemed to be under some kind of magical spell. Except for the thick-skinned old goat who could still drag his tired body, the rest of them were powerless and turned into "dolls".

The boy's face was tense. He simply walked over, picked up a few toys from the ground, and put them on his shoulder.

They then continued climbing up the steep path.

As we crossed the snow line, the surrounding scenery gradually transformed into snow and ice, and the sun seemed to sink completely below the horizon, leaving everything pitch black.

Finally, a group of people, their bodies radiating blue light, appeared with their arms crossed.

Two men behind him stood ready with guns, while the three in front were a Yordle ninja flashing with electricity, a Shadow Assassin wielding a giant scythe with sharp eyes, and a round-faced mushroom-headed man with six dark orbs floating around him, exuding confidence.

There are many people fighting against few.

The advantage is mine!

But at that moment, the staff in the boy's hand suddenly transformed into a "scepter".

He slammed his fist on the ground, and a loud, muffled thud echoed through the air.

Then, a sudden riot broke out from beneath the ice surface in all directions, and one by one, soldiers of the yellow sand were crossing the netherworld and reaching up from the ground!

The situation seems to have reversed.

The five men charged forward, determined to capture the king first, ignoring the antelope horn and continuing their assault. But the next moment, they suddenly felt as if they had stepped on something!
A loud explosion was heard.

The five people were propelled high into the air by a faintly visible red fruit!

At the same time, thousands of imperial guards appeared behind them, and the combined force of the army pushed them forward. The third knockback, triggered by the simultaneous explosion of the flames, sent the five people flying into the sky as if they were being tossed around in a ladle!
[Brother Xu is from the district]

Holy crap! This animation is pretty good!

I still remember this line! Looking back, they leaped to reverse the tide, the Imperial Guards, like sheep, brought order to the world!

Watching this match again still gets a little touching. But was that Syndra really Xu Ge? His face... I thought he was a ghost!

[It shouldn't be Brother Xu, Brother Xu's legs aren't that long~]

The big tree, cat, and Draven plush toy on his shoulder are clapping their hands vigorously.

As they climbed step by step, the dolls gradually returned to human form, and the five of them walked side by side, encouraging each other to move forward.

Although the road ahead remained dark and arduous, nothing could deter them from their ascent. "Is it your name in the rafters?"

A brief moment of silence.

The young man, relieved of his burden, took the lead by switching to Shanghai Kexin steel legs to pave the way, and with a single leap, he had already reached the mountainside.

—But this time, it wasn't five people, but a steel fortress blocking their way!
The lord atop the city gate summoned his soldiers to advance and try to stop the intruders, but the boy's Hextech legs suddenly exerted force, using the shields of the Imperial Guards to propel him a hundred miles and fly up to the city gate.

One man went deep behind enemy lines, aimed at the Tsar's jaw, and raised his leg high at a ninety-degree angle!
The four people who were huddled together suddenly launched an attack. Xayah stomped out a sky full of flying feathers, while Ornn, Sejuani, and Tahm Kench fought desperately to protect them. They firmly believed that as long as they held the city gate, the other side would not be able to break in!

Suddenly, the boy pulled hard, yanking out his Hextech leg, which was halfway up his knee, and flung it out like a throwing blade.

Then, two "shackles and whips" were shaken out from his sleeve!
The Tsar, swallowed whole, seemed to feel a sense of loss in his final moments.

And the next moment.

On the city wall, the thousands of friendly sand soldiers behind everyone suddenly "rebelled." In one fell swoop, the imperial guards pushed forward, actually pushing everyone off the city gate!

The four friendly troops who came to meet the enemy from the rear steadily joined forces to annihilate the enemy and broke through the seemingly impregnable city wall and bunker in one fell swoop!

Before leaving.

The boy also pulled a 'hellfire bomb' from his pocket, tossed it lightly behind him, and then continued climbing the summit with his teammates.

"One more step and you're Immortal now 'cause'"

"Once you play GOD! (Victory brings divine ascension!)"

Accompanied by a final, climaxing roar.

The bunker behind them exploded, bursting into flames and collapsing into ruins in an instant, completely illuminating the previously gloomy sky!
[Masters never look back at explosions.JPG!]

[The Bomber in the final game of the semifinals! Wow, so many details! Can any expert provide an analysis? I can't keep up!]

[The scene where Sylas steals his ultimate ability and portrays it as a "sand soldier rebellion" is quite interesting. It feels like this scene could be used directly in a movie set in the League of Legends universe!]

Is the big one coming soon? Will there be a scene where Fei Fei gets killed in the final four?

Riot Games clearly favored their opponents, skipping the semifinals in the lower bracket.

The two teams climbed up to the foot of the cliff on the left and right respectively.

Only the numerous wounds on the five people opposite them, and the broken magic puppet they were carrying, proved the devastation in the lower half of the bracket.

The two groups of people faced each other across the river.

The path to the cliff peak is winding and narrow, and the suspension bridge to the other side can only accommodate the weight of one team.

We meet on a narrow road.

The brave come first!
The enemy's middleman made the first move, also wielding an iron chain and swinging it at the boy, trying to compete with the masked assassin!
However, he clearly underestimated his control over these two heroes. After only two exchanges, he was already covered in bloody wounds and could only try to escape back to his teammates. But he found that the enemy was still chasing him!

This gave him an opportunity. He aimed his long chain at the boy, intending to bind him in mid-air and put him in danger!

But, right between the two of them getting incredibly close.

It's a matter of millimeters between life and death for an assassin.

A parallel golden light flashed, and the whip chain that had already been thrown out of his hand could not be retracted and became stiff, while the scythe in the opponent's hand was already piercing straight for his brow!
However, fierce fighting is also raging on the other side.

The Darkin archer, wielding a crossbow, bound four people, while the Darkin, carrying a demon sword, slaughtered like a giant. The blade of the fast and slow sword seemed to split Mount Hua with force, heavily slashing down on his teammates' heads!
The boy circled around, decisively discarding his scythe and kunai, picking up the whip chain from the man he had just killed, and throwing it at the Darkin archer behind him.

Another, differently colored {corruption chain} shot out and covered the ground.

The incantation, which could be considered a forbidden technique, emitted a faint glow on the enemy's bodies, becoming the most terrifying symbol of destruction.

In an instant, at this moment, on the mountaintop.

Before the narrow path, only two people remained standing.

The two charged forward at the same time!

Every knife is close at hand, every whip lash is aimed at flesh; even the slightest mistake could be fatal.

In the moment when both sides were burning to their absolute limit in their fierce battle.

The Darkin's cruel, bloodthirsty eyes suddenly widened in astonishment, then turned into panicked vertical pupils!

The person who picked up the whip chain seemed to still be the same 'masked assassin', moving so fast that he left afterimages, brushing past him and "passing through" him just before the greatsword finally fell!

The climactic theme song abruptly ended.

The screen fell silent.

The Darkin Titan collapsed to the ground, clutching his empty chest in disbelief.

The howling wind at the mountaintop rustled against the silent backdrop, sounding perfectly fitting.

The last survivor was slowly placing his teammates, who had turned back into "dolls" on the ground, back onto his shoulder.

Only then did they continue towards the summit of the mountain.
Screams erupted uncontrollably all around the Seoul venue, while the LCK fans sitting opposite remained calm, pretending to be indifferent as they looked around.

to here.

Everyone, including Ye Bo, thought the music video had already ended.

The background music abruptly stopped, and the scene showed dawn breaking. The first rays of sunlight shone on the suspension bridge leading to the mountain peak. The boy's upright figure and firm steps seemed to represent a perfect ending, which also fit the title of the theme song, "Ascending to Godhood."

however.

In fact, this scene is also a tribute.

Back then, everyone thought it was all over, but it wasn't.
And in the very next moment.

The camera suddenly pulls back slowly—and there are five people lying on the ground behind the boy, struggling to get up again and looking at each other.

A chubby figure grinned and pulled a cornet from his belly pocket.

Then, a silent astral golden light surged beneath their feet!
Even knowing the ending beforehand, everyone who witnessed this scene couldn't help but subconsciously clench their fists.

A silent mountaintop.

The astral golden light, having exhausted all its energy, brought the five of them back to their original spot, seemingly only one step away from their final destination!
Five blood-stained faces beamed with pride; the Blue Dragon's numerous comebacks from 0-2 deficits to 3-2 seemed imminent, and it appeared that everything was already too late.
But as everyone rushed toward the crystal.

At this moment, the sky, which had just cleared up, inexplicably darkened again, and there seemed to be flocks of crows circling around in the thin air high above.
And when everyone looked up...

Above the horizon, what's obscuring the sky isn't just dark clouds.

It was a giant scythe that shone with a terrifying golden light under the blazing sun!

The hoarse cries of fear raged, the giant scythe of death tore through the darkness, and the scratches on the space it glided through seemed to penetrate the screen, as if even the camera lens was about to be smashed and shattered!
—This scene.

It also seems to echo the beginning, where the boy witnessed the Shadow Stream Blade cleaving the canyon ten years ago.

The theme song, which had abruptly stopped at this moment, burst out again with the most intense emotions.

"They're going to crumble one by one!" (To welcome the world's cheers and adoration!)

"Like it's the day my kingdom comes!"

"Once you play (the winner, the god)"

The five people on the mountaintop held up the trophy that was placed at the top.

The perspective shifts back to the outside.

In the real world, the spectacular scene of both locations simultaneously winning trophies at Chase Center became the satisfying final chapter of the video.

The live stream and the scene were already in an uproar.

This spectacular opening ceremony completely ignited the arena, and for a moment, no one on the live chat even cared about the upcoming battle of viewership between the top teams.
[I knew it! How could we forget the guardian rice of the nation?! Might makes right!]

[Who says this theme song isn't exciting? It's freaking exciting!]

This story teaches us that you must remember to finish off enemies in games!!

[Hey buddy, how are we going to shoot music videos next year if you keep filming like this? Next year, I bet we'll have to film Master Ip as the Buddha, slapping everything down with one blow!]

I have a plan! We could film a willow tree suddenly falling from the sky, then secretly warn everyone to be careful of people with the surname "Ye".

[Fun fact: 99% of the teams featured in Riot Games' theme song MV suffered terribly in the World Championship that year, some even making it to the top 16! V5, good luck to you all. I'm going to become a BLG fan for a few days now~~~]

[Where's my WBG? Did I come here to see this?! And why wasn't my ROS in last year's World Championship promotional video?! I'm asking you, where did my ROS go?! Riot Games, you're biased!]
