Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 177 The Prophet Takes Action and Returns to Peace

Janna's sustained combat capability is not weak, which is why she, as a god of faith, is better than the original gods.

The strength of a god of faith may drop in an instant due to a sudden drop in the number of believers, but at the same time, if there are enough believers, as demigods with the same strength, the god of faith can last longer and fight better than the original god.

Because the endless power of faith will constantly replenish the power of faith in the gods.

Therefore, although Janna continued to release her divine power non-stop when facing Nagakabouros, with wind shield and wind blade, and occasionally gave Li Ke attack and movement speed buffs, she only had 40% of her divine power left, and this 40% would not be completely consumed.

And what about Li Ke?

His situation was the same as Janna's. With the Lamb Spirit in his hand, Li Ke's recovery ability was also incredibly strong. Coupled with Janna's healing ability, Li Ke actually managed to get closer to Nagakabouros and keep attacking Ornn.

But this was of no use at all, and instead aroused Nagakabouros's anger.

"No one, can escape from here!"

With a hoarse and low roar, the shadow of Nagakabouros's compound eye behind Illaoi became real.

"Oh no, Li Ke, she's coming!" Seeing this, Janna became anxious in an instant.

After hearing this, Li Ke took a deep breath, raised his right hand, and said loudly: "It's okay, Janna, I can handle it."

Janna listened, blinked, and understood what Li Ke meant.

[Are you going to ask her to come out and help? But, can you afford the cost of summoning her now? ]

After going to Ionia and meeting Ahri, Janna understood who Li Ke's "backer" was.

He is a god from another world. This is why Li Ke's soul suddenly left the material realm of Runeland and was gone for a moment, because he went to another world.

Janna didn't know how he did it, but there were so many magical people and magical things in this world, so Janna wouldn't dwell on this issue.

The only thing that bothered her now was that in order for Li Ke to summon Ahri, he had to bear the divinity of Ahri, a powerful demigod, and use himself as a "node" to make Ahri appear in the material realm.

This will overwhelm Li Ke, because Ahri is more powerful than many gods Janna has ever seen. Even the real body of Nagakabouros seems to be 40% to 60% compared to Ahri?

Thinking of this, Janna stretched out her hand, shook it towards Li Ke, and Li Ke appeared beside her.

Floating behind Li Ke, she looked at Li Ke worriedly, with a hint of complex helplessness in her eyes.

[Is it okay? Li Ke.]

I am still too weak. If I were stronger, I could really help Li Ke.

"It's okay, Janna, I can hold on for more than ten seconds now." Li Ke said.

At the same time, the sky above Bilgewater changed again.

Originally, this place had a strange sight because of the battle between Janna and Nagakabouros, but at this moment, the sight became even more exaggerated.

The gathered and swirling wind was dispersed by some force, and a huge dark shadow directly covered the several kilometers around Bilgewater. In the pitch-black clouds, it seemed as if a huge monster was swimming. At first glance, the sky above Bilgewater seemed to have become a deep sea.

Everything is moving, the clouds are moving, the rain is moving, and the entire space is moving with ripples.

Li Ke was puzzled by this. Looking at the compound eyes of Nagakabouros that were becoming more and more real, he asked Janna: "Shouldn't it come out of the sea?"

[Every human who knows Nagakabouros will subconsciously think that he is a demigod of the ocean, a marine creature, but in fact, he is everywhere.] Janna said to Li Ke through voice transmission.

[He has to pay a price for coming out, because He will turn the place where He appears into an ocean, which will greatly cause dissatisfaction among the local natural spirits and the core of Runeland, but He still came out. It seems that, Li Ke, He is determined to get you. ]

"I don't fucking want to go with it." Li Ke shuddered when he heard that and spoke immediately.

The more Li Ke looked at Nagakabouros, the more disgusted he felt.

There is no division between evil gods and good gods in Runeterra. Gods are gods. For example, the Ascended are gods, and the Darkin are also gods. Their code of conduct is entirely based on their own preferences. They are simply a group of uncontrollable beings.

To put it bluntly, the demigods on Runeterra are a more powerful kind of creature, which may be due to the fact that Riot was not perfect when designing the background.

It may also be because players and netizens like to divide combat power into levels, which gradually led to the result. That is to say, the designers of Riot Universe may not have thought about this issue at all at the time, and directly adopted the ideas of some netizens.

After all, LOL is a moba game, and its game background is designed by different designers. The story of each character also takes place in different places. There are even many characters that have not been encountered so far and no stories have happened.

It is not like a game like World of Warcraft, where the background story is well connected. Although the players complain that the background story of World of Warcraft is getting worse and worse and is not as good as before, from the perspective of the League of Legends player group, it is still perfect and the story is not as complicated as that of League of Legends.

Therefore, the power of gods is beyond the rules, Nagakabouros is not an evil god, and Illaoi is not a bad person. It is just a matter of stance.

But should Li Ke be asked to serve such an ugly creature?

This is impossible!

Li Ke would never believe in Nagakabouros even if he died!

In a dark alley of the Immortal Fortress in Noxus, a gray-haired man pushed open the door and walked out of the cellar. He was missing an arm, walked unsteadily, and one of his legs was also lame.

He was using his remaining hand to support his crutch and taking difficult steps out of the secret door.

But as his steps became bigger and bigger, blood appeared clearly visible on his broken arm, and his steps became more and more steady. With a calm face, he walked out of the secret door and onto the street.

Not many people would come to this alley, especially in recent times, Darkwill had completely lost his mind and even said that he would use the whole country's strength to attack Ionia again, launching the Second Noai War to search for the elixir of life for him.

As a result, the whole country of Noxus was shocked.

"It's already hopeless."

Swain said this in a cold voice, and then he strode out of the alley, his pace getting faster and faster. Later, when he came out of the alley, his speed was faster than that of an ordinary person.

"Catch those thieves over there!"

"Quick, go ahead and block them!"

A sound was heard not far away. Swain turned his head to look and saw several fully armed soldiers arresting people on the street. They were holding short crossbows and long spears in their hands and were chasing several children.

Swain took a look and found that after these children were caught, there would be only two outcomes waiting for them. One was to be beaten to death on the spot by the soldiers, and the other was to be forcibly taken to the military camp and serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield.

This is Darkwill's favorite and most commonly used method - in Noxus, everyone can contribute their own role, and everyone can gain glory and status.

Under Darkwill's tyrannical rule, many capable Noxians were indeed provided with opportunities for promotion, allowing them to go from refugees to soldiers, generals, and commanders.

But at the same time, many Noxians have no living space because of their poor innate conditions, weak bodies, and lack of brains, and are unable to contribute to the great cause of Noxus. Therefore, they can only become cannon fodder in exchange for pensions for their families, or embark on the road of crime.

But.it's not their fault.

Swain's eyes gradually turned cold. He looked at a child who ran past him.

His thin, hungry, yellow face was full of panic, his body was dirty, and he was shirtless in the slightly cool weather. He was so thin that his ribs were protruding outward, but at the same time, he had a big belly. Seeing this, Swain moved his scepter forward a little, and then he walked to the center of the street.

There were more and more blood on his arm, which kept gathering under the black robe, and a red stump appeared on his broken arm.

The soldiers were running, but when they saw Swain, they stopped.

They recognized Swain, then nodded to him respectfully, and then walked around Swain and chased after the group of children who had stolen things.

"Stop." Swain suddenly raised his hand and held the scepter horizontally, blocking the soldiers' way forward.

"Mr. Swain?" The soldier was stunned and looked at Swain in confusion.

“What are you going to do?” Swain asked.

"Those kids stole food from the granary and we are catching them. What's wrong?" the soldier whispered.

“Just stealing food?” Swain asked calmly.

He used to have complete faith in Darkwill, even though he sometimes subconsciously thought that some of Darkwill's decisions were wrong, he still carried them out. But during this time back in Noxus, Swain changed his mind.

Darkwill was wrong, and Noxus was on a path to destruction.

Because if the people of a country cannot survive, cannot even solve the basic problem of food and clothing, and are forced to commit crimes, then it is not the person who is wrong, but the country.

"It's true, it's just stolen food."

The soldiers were somewhat confused as to what Swain meant.

Swain said calmly, "Then don't chase them. This is not their problem."

"But they committed a crime! This is the rule, Mr. Swain, isn't it the same for you?" the soldier said immediately.

He really could have chosen not to pursue the man and just gone back and told his superiors that he had killed the man and thrown him into the slums, and his superiors wouldn't have investigated it in detail.

Because this happens every day in Noxus.

But he couldn't understand Swain's thoughts.

“So I was wrong, too,” Swain said.

"Let's go back."

"This is the law, Mr. Swain. If our superiors find out that we did nothing, we will be implicated." A soldier thought for a moment and spoke, hoping to use these words to make Swain move aside.

After all, if they catch those children, then everything belonging to them will be theirs.

Swain looked at the soldier with a calm gaze, but they only stared at each other for three seconds. The soldier lowered his head, not daring to look at Swain again.

And Swain suddenly looked up at the distant sky. He looked at the situation in Bilgewater, and suddenly a pitch-black crow appeared at his shoulder. The multi-eyed crow quacked and flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

With his special abilities, Swain saw what was happening in Bilgewater.

He saw the woman who had been spying on Noxus and whose divine consciousness he had cut off. She appeared above Bilgewater and was fighting with the gods of Bilgewater, blocking their arrival.

He also saw Janna, whom the Zaun people talked about, and saw Li Ke. Swain recognized the young man.

At a young age, he changed Zaun and Piltover. The Lord of Zaun.

He knew all the secrets of the world, so of course he could recognize Li Ke's handsome face.

Then, Swain's thoughts became more firm.

Zaun is changing, Piltover is changing, Ionia has changed after the war, and now, even Bilgewater is changing.

Only Noxus has not changed and is still heading towards destruction.

Swain said nothing, looking up at the sky, and the soldiers did not dare to leave.

One is that they respect Swain very much, and the second is that even though Swain is now a marginal figure in Noxus and has been expelled from the army, his prestige in the army is unmatched.

Many people in the army were willing to help Swain, such as Darius's younger brother, the extremely domineering executioner who always had a wild smile on his face.

Because of this, Swain was able to act on his own in the Immortal Bastion as a civilian. No one would be willing to involve the military and tell Darkwill about Swain's unauthorized actions. After all, they were now hiding something from Darkwill that Darkwill must not know.

The next moment, Swain withdrew his gaze.

it's over.
The battle of Bilgewater is over.

The prophet of Ionia prevented the gods from coming to Bilgewater and used divine power to repair the sea and Bilgewater. From then on, Swain could not predict what path Bilgewater would take.

Then, the soldiers suddenly raised their heads and felt a cool breeze, which seemed very strange.

What they didn't know was that this comfortable breeze had appeared in Bilgewater and had spread to all parts of Runeterra.

“Go back,” said Swain.

"But it's the law."

"That was only the law of the past." Swain calmly interrupted what the soldier wanted to say. He stretched out his hand, his left hand, a bloody left hand, with blood lines forming sharp claws. He continued calmly:
"From now on, the laws of Noxus no longer belong to Darkwill, but to the people."

"The sons and daughters of Noxus will no longer be bullied."

Several soldiers stared blankly at Swain's blood-red arm, but the next moment, the arm disappeared, and Swain also disappeared.

Then the soldiers looked at each other in surprise.

"what?"

"Is that a hand?"

"Yes, it's an arm. Also, I seem to see black wings?"

"Oh my god, is that really Mr. Swain? Could that be a demon?"

Among the soldiers, a shorter soldier took off his helmet, revealing a young face with dead skin on his lips, but his eyes were excited.

"No, it must be Swain, because only General Swain would say such a thing."

The soldier said with a firm look.
