Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 109: Race against time, unity is strength

Hilco was the first to react, and he quickly gave Wei an order: "Gather all personnel, send some people to protect the residents of the Xinsheng community, and notify everyone to go to the dance corridor."

"No one can stay in the ditch now!"

Seeing sparks flowing like magma in the mine, Hilco gave a decisive order.

He turned to look at Jinx and shouted, "What are you still doing here? If you really want to help Li Ke, then go back and get your weapon. You are only getting in his way if you stand here with your bare hands!"

Jinx was stunned, then quickly ran towards Vi, hugged Vi around the waist as she was about to get on the flying board, and looked up at her.

"I understand. I'll take you back first." Wei immediately understood what Jinx meant. She reached out and patted Jinx's head. Instead of asking Jinx to follow the main group obediently in the name of protection as she did before, she chose to trust Jinx.

Perhaps Wei’s greatest growth is that she no longer belittles herself and is willing to start trusting others.

Hilco also left, but he did not go too far. He held a telescope and watched the situation in the Haoshi Mine from afar.

He was left with only a few sewer law enforcement officers who were responsible for protecting him and issuing his orders.

"I thought everything was going well, but... why would there be such a monster in Zaun!" Hilco looked at Vander and Li Ke who were fighting the monster with a grim face. They even had difficulty getting close to the fire creature.

If it weren't for the Goddess Janna protecting Vander and Li Ke, it would have been difficult for those two to even escape, let alone fight the monster!
Hilco knew very well that now, Li Ke and Vander were just delaying time, delaying time for the evacuation of the residents of Zaun!

In the Hope Community, Wei put Jinx down and looked at Jinx. Then, she nodded, turned around and left with a group of law enforcement officers and began to deliver the message to the residents of the Hope Community.

At the same time, the Firefly Community also received the news. Scar immediately set out from the Firefly Community with the law enforcement officers. Some people stayed behind to maintain order at the scene and led the residents of the Firefly Community to the middle square, while the other ditch law enforcement officers followed Scar and rushed to the Hao Shi Mine with weapons.

The same is true in other communities. The ditch law enforcement officers do not even allow residents to carry belongings. If there are those who are stubborn and insist on taking their belongings with them, they will use force and violently drive them towards the middle square.

When Jayce learned about this, he took Viktor and used his flying skateboard to rush towards Piltover as soon as possible.

Jace didn't see what the creature looked like, but that didn't stop him from believing what the sewer law enforcer said.

After all, the community where he lived in Zaun was in chaos!
Arriving in Piltover as quickly as possible, Jayce rushed to the parliament building and prepared to ring the bell.

Zaun, Trench Belt, Haoshi Mine -

Li Ke and Fandel, as well as Janna who had transformed into a giant blue bird behind them, confronted the Darkin. His face was ashen, and one of his hands had been burned to the point where the flesh was torn apart, with a smell of barbecue.

Who said that the Darkin was weak when he first woke up?
Damn, is this called weakness?

Li Ke really wanted to catch the bastard who said this in the forum, beat him up, and kick him hard in the face!

As for the Darkin in front of them, even he, Vander, and Janna combined cannot suppress him!

It’s hard to imagine, if this is all weakness, then how powerful must it be in its heyday?

And why are there Darkin in Zaun’s underground world?

Li Ke really had no idea about this!
A Darkin who uses the harp as his main body? Aren't there only a few Darkins?

Bow, sickle, sword, dagger -

In Kai'Sa's story, Li Ke also learned that there was a faceless god named Zolani, but that guy's statue was in Shurima, and here is Zaun, Zaun!
A Darkin whose body was a harp and whose body was covered in flames, Li Ke had never thought of such a thing before.

"Why don't you leave, Li Ke? I'll buy time for you." Vander looked at Li Ke. He had a powerful resurrection ability, but Li Ke didn't.

He was injured, and Vandel could even smell the roasted smell of the flesh on his body.

"Don't be ridiculous. Can you handle it by yourself?" Li Ke took a deep breath and rushed forward to the Darkin and asked Janna: "Janna, do you have any solution?"

"No, Li Ke, I'm too weak now." Janna replied quickly. The huge blue bird she turned into was a little transparent. This was the result of overdrawing her strength, but she still continued to use her strength to protect Li Ke.

Prevent the flames from burning Li Ke's body, and use the wind blade to attack the darkin.

"Stellatu, I remember now. She is the fallen ascender of ancient Shurima. But why does she appear here?" There was a hint of confusion in Janna's voice.

As a deity of Zaun, Janna is actually not very old. Compared to humans, she is certainly an ancient being, but compared to some truly ancient creatures in Runeterra, Janna is actually still a "girl".

Va Zuan was born a thousand years ago, and Janna was also a believer in gods who appeared during that period. Later, she encountered the Tsar's order to abolish false gods. Janna was implicated, and her shrine was destroyed, and her power was greatly reduced.

She is different from the Ascended. The Ascended's power comes from the Shurima sun disc, while Janna's power comes from the power of faith. Her upper limit is extremely high, but her lower limit is also very low.

When she was at her weakest, she couldn't even defeat a local elemental elf.
Therefore, having lost the power of faith, Janna was in a daze for a long time, sometimes awake and sometimes asleep. It was impossible for her to know everything that had happened in Shurima and Zaun in the past thousand years. So... was it when she was asleep that Stellato came to Zaun?
But how could she become like this, and how could she be willing to hide in the underground world of Zaun?
"Jaen-Alem, you are just a false god, how dare you stop me!"

Stellatu made a sound, and several eyes in the flames looked at Janna, and a hint of surprise flashed in those huge flaming eyes.

The Darkin are not really crazy. The Void polluted them, but it did not really corrupt them. What really corrupted them was the loss of the glory of Shurima. The kingdom they longed for perished in the dust and became a trace in history. This sense of frustration is the real reason why they degenerate.

Aatrox is like that, so is Stellartu, and so are most of the Darkin.

And now, looking at Janna, who had a graceful figure and pure power, a hint of jealousy flashed in Stellatu's eyes.

They who are noble have fallen into the mortal world, while the hypocritical gods remain high above?

"." Janna didn't say anything, but expressed her words with her actions.

A huge green wind blade pierced through space and appeared next to Stellatu's host, passing through the flames and attacking the huge blood-red rat.

"Get out!" Stellatu shook the giant flaming hand holding the piano, shattering the wind blade that attacked him. With the help of Janna, Li Ke rushed into the flames and rushed towards the giant rat in the middle.

Stellatu's several eyes looked at Li Ke in an instant, and the bloody rat's body split apart and turned into a terrifying giant mouth.

"Like!" Janna lowered her head, grabbed Li Ke's shoulders with her claws, and pulled him back, avoiding being swallowed by the bloody giant mouth.

"Fuck!" Li Ke cursed, feeling so powerless for the first time.

The weakest time for him was when he met Jinx, but at that time Li Ke had never been so weak.

Along the way, Li Ke has had a very smooth journey.

The two cities' weak combat power and their success along the way made Li Ke forget that Runeterra is always a dangerous place.

And now, the Darkin Stellatu taught him a lesson.

Li Ke is indeed strong enough, and he is a leader in Noxus. His fighting power is definitely higher than that of Darius, an ordinary person. But in the eyes of these monsters, Li Ke is just a slightly larger ant.

"Jana, have all the Zaun people gone up there?"

“Not yet. We may have to hold on a little longer.” Janna said, but after that, she fell silent.

Yes, hold on for a while, but what happens after that?
Even after all the Zaun people have reached a safe place, won't they still be unable to get rid of Stellatu?

Janna sighed secretly, and then made a decision. If there was really no other way, then she would choose to disintegrate her soul, taking Zaun and Stellatu together. No, what Janna feared most was her current weakness. Even if she chose to die together, she would not be able to completely eliminate Stellatu in the end.

With her current strength, the best outcome is that the energy of the host occupied by Stellatu is exhausted and the power of blood magic is used up. However, Stellatu will come back again because the Darkin are difficult to kill completely and their strength is beyond human imagination.

Janna had seen them when they were Ascended, and had also seen them fighting each other during the Darkin War. She knew clearly what these monsters were capable of.

So, what should we do?
"Zuan is in trouble? They can't solve this trouble, how can we help?"

In the Piltover Parliament Building, Senator Hoskal frowned after hearing what Jace said and spoke.

Jace looked at Hoskar calmly and said, "It's because they can't solve it that we have to help them!"

"Senator Hoskar, I'm not kidding. If Zaun can't solve this problem with its current strength, then this trouble will eventually affect us!"

"We and Zaun are upper and lower cities. Their troubles are also our troubles. Sitting back and watching is the stupidest choice! Or do you want to see Zaun make a fool of himself?"

"I think what Jayce said is right. If Zaun is really in big trouble, we can't just turn a blind eye. Just like Mel said, Noxus will come again, and when they come, the first place to be affected will be Piltover. If we don't help Zaun now, when the Noxians come, they will have reasons not to help us." Senator Giraman stood up and said.

Sevika sat quietly, listening to the words of these congressmen, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

During her time as a councillor in the Upper City, Sevika received a lot of cold stares. Although they gave her all the necessary etiquette on the surface and gave Sevika real power, and she had the right to manage the Zaun people who came to Piltover, but in private, these guys were also excluding her.

And now, watching one congressman after another stand up and express their willingness to support and help Zaun, Sevika understood why they were willing to do so, but even though he knew why they did so, Sevika had a feeling that was difficult to express.

Now she understood why Li Ke said: No matter how many wrong things Piltover has done, we are still one.

Yes, hundreds of years ago, people from the two cities were one family.

No matter how hard the two families fight, it is their own business. Once there is external pressure, the two cities can unite and fight the enemy together.

"Then it's settled. Wei said that guy is a monster covered in fire. Since it's fire, then we use water to deal with him!"

"As for the gorge on the other side of the bay, after the Zaun people reach the Dancing Corridor, I suggest that we open the gorge and release the flood!" Jace said in a deep voice.

"Now, congressmen, please vote!" Jace shouted.

Mel was the first to raise his hand, followed by Senator Gilaman, then Sevika, Saro, and Hoskal.
"Let the law enforcement officers take action and go to the dance corridor to maintain order!"

Jace said, waving his hand.

At 5:11 p.m., at the Zaun Middle Square, all the residents of the Gutter, including the residents of the Middle Square, arrived in front of the Screamer, but it was obvious that two machines were not enough to carry so many Zaun people. So, the Gutter Enforcers carried the children and the disabled on their backs and rushed to the Dance Corridor on flying boards.

A group of Piltover people in blue clothes also mixed into the crowd. The demoted Marcus was no longer the Sheriff of Piltover, but now he commanded all the law enforcement officers and was using Piltover's vehicles to send the Zaun people to the Dance Corridor.

Above the Dance Corridor, Piltover's law enforcement officers were maintaining order on the Bridge of Progress, and Zaun people were entering Piltover along the Bridge of Progress one after another.

Councillor Gilaman was standing in the center of a group of law enforcement officers. Seeing this scene, he clasped his hands in front of his chest, pursed his lips and was very emotional.

They didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for such a large number of Zaun people to enter Piltover.

But there is one thing Jace said that is right -

If Zaun really encounters a major crisis and they leave it alone, Piltover will eventually suffer the consequences.

People in the upper and lower cities don't even know what the crisis in Zaun is.
but,

They race against time.

Unity.
