Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 263 It's Time for the Grand Preparations for the Void Event

"Jinx, come in quickly."

Li Ke reached out and lifted the tent flap, then saw Jinx and Janna standing outside, surrounded by a group of tribal children, and a woman standing next to Jinx, her head hunched over as she looked around.

She was a bit taller than Jinx, but because Jinx had very long legs, they looked about the same height.

With black hair and a purple, hard carapace, yes, it really is the cockroach queen Kasha.
Then, Li Ke and Kasha locked eyes.

Interestingly, Kai'Sa's expression appeared somewhat dazed and cute. As for why Kai'Sa, who looks extremely aloof and strong on the outside, would show such a dazed and cute expression, it's because too many things happened at once, causing her brain to overwhelm her and resulting in a mental breakdown.

Now she finally understands what Jinx really is.
It turns out that everything that happened in Shurima before, the dramatic changes in the outside world when she dug the tunnel out, were actually related to her!

This could not help but shock Kai'Sa, and it also made her abandon her previous idea of ​​protecting Jinx.

She went to protect Jinx?

What a joke! The bird that's following him is probably much stronger than him.

You should know that Kai'Sa is confident she can kill ordinary Void creatures, such as Rek'Sai. In fact, she can easily kill more than a dozen of them by skillfully using her abilities and Void Bullets. But how about killing Rek'Sai?
Don't be ridiculous. With Rek'Sai's size and defense, even if Kai'Sa drained all her energy and unleashed hundreds or thousands of missiles, she still wouldn't be able to kill Rek'Sai.

At most, they could only hurt it. Therefore, when Kai'Sa learned that Jinx and her group had killed Rek'Sai and met some Void Queen, she was a little dizzy.

The Void Queen? What kind of creature is that? She's never even heard of it, let alone seen it.

Therefore, Kai'Sa's mindset has also changed somewhat.

Earlier, she was forcibly tied to Jinx's chariot, which she initially had some reservations about, because she had very important things to do. The reason she has been able to survive until now is to fight for those who cannot return; she wants to protect the people of Shurima from the invasion of the Void.

But now it seems that she is not fighting alone against the Void.

Jinx's husband is dedicated to fighting the Void, and he's far more powerful than her!
No, it's not just Jinx and her husband, but even the town behind them is dedicated to fighting the Void.

This left Kai'Sa with mixed feelings; she realized she wasn't fighting alone!
"Welcome, Kasha," Rick greeted Kasha.

Kai'Sa looked up at Rick in surprise. Jinx kept calling her "Big Cockroach," but she hadn't told Rick her real name. So how did he know?

"How do you know my name?"

“That’s not surprising.” Li Ke smiled, pulled the curtain up, and said kindly, “Come in, let’s talk.”

"Soraka, you don't mind, do you?"

“Of course, the more friends the better.” Soraka was sitting at the small wooden table, drinking tea. Hearing this, she looked up, put down her teacup, and smiled at Rick.

Then, Jinx came in with Janna, who snuggled into Jinx's hair again, gently patting it with her little paws to the side, creating a comfortable and soft "nest" on Jinx's thick head, and then nestled there to doze off.

The goddess has been consuming too much faith power lately, and is inevitably experiencing some indigestion, which is why she often dozes off.

As soon as Jinx came in, she ran to Li Ke's side. Seeing this, Jax wisely gave up his seat before Jinx could speak and chose to sit down to the side, silently drinking his tea. His injuries had almost healed, but now he was exhausted and couldn't muster any strength.

But Jax figured he'd be fine after a few days of rest and some food back in Zaun.

After Jinx sat down, she blinked and looked at Soraka next to her, making no attempt to hide her curiosity about Soraka.

"Hello, is that horn on your head real?" Jinx asked.

“It’s true, it’s the source of my power.” Soraka looked at Jinx, her beautiful golden eyes scrutinizing her, a hint of surprise flashing in them.

This girl
Soraka saw so much in her; she should have walked a different, broken path, and everything would have been destroyed because of her, but now…
Soraka looked at Rick suspiciously, wondering if it was because of him.
Foresight is a rare ability, but in the Celestial Realm, there are many beings with this ability, the most typical example being Thor. Even a supreme being like Thor cannot truly foresee the future.

Otherwise, how could He have been captured by the Titans?

Therefore, the so-called prediction of the future, the predicted future, can be changed by human intervention.

Soraka, for example, is mostly able to foresee fragments of the future, and the scenes she foresees can change due to various unforeseen events.

So rather than predicting the future, it's more accurate to say that it's calculating a possibility of the future.
In this girl, Soraka saw the other side of her that she should have gone, and what she might do in the future.

What kind of scene was it?
Countless butterflies, swirling with blue light, danced and fluttered around her. With a mere flick of her finger, she sent them flying, instantly obliterating a colossal void creature's energy shield, drone swarm, long-range Hextech missiles, and a massive cannon crafted from magic and alchemy. Even a creature like Rek'Sai couldn't withstand it. Most mesmerizingly, Soraka saw her raise her left hand, holding a button. After pressing it…
A power comparable to that of a constellation erupted, destroying a star in an instant.
"Hey?"

Are you daydreaming? Are you even listening to me?

Soraka snapped out of her daze. The future she saw in Jinx turned her surprise into horror. What on earth was that?!

Can ordinary humans possess such power?
"I said, can I touch your horns?" Jinx asked directly, unaware of Soraka's thoughts, and as she asked, her hand was already outstretched.

Seeing this, Li Ke immediately tried to stop her. He was joking, because Soraka's strength was now comparable to Ornn's. After all, Lissandra had made it clear that she was no match for Soraka. And now Jinx was going to touch Soraka's horns?
Although Soraka is indeed very gentle and kind, Lee still feels that Jinx's behavior is like touching a tiger's butt or a fox's tail. Soraka's horns, she herself said, are the source of her power, so they are definitely not to be touched.

But Soraka just stared at Jinx quietly, and then, in Rick's eyes, she lowered her head slightly to make it easier for Jinx to touch her horn.

"This feels so smooth! I thought it would feel rough, like the big cockroach I brought back."

"Cough cough!" Kai'Sa coughed forcefully, quickly interrupting Jinx's speech.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Kai'Sa braced herself and looked at Rick, saying, "Jinx told me that you are fighting against the Void. I want to join you. I can help you."

Kai'Sa then began to explain her situation, mainly how she could help. For example, she mentioned that her skin allowed her to keenly detect the presence of Void creatures.

“Of course, we need someone like you. Kasha, welcome to the Twin Cities Federation.”

Kasha nodded. She didn't know what the Twin Cities Federation was. After all, just an hour ago, she was digging a hole in the ground with her butt sticking out.

Li Ke readily agreed to Kai'Sa's request to join, just kidding.
Although Kaisa is not as powerful as a demigod, she is still one of the best among the extraordinary warriors, right?

Moreover, Li Ke clearly remembers that Kai'Sa received a buff in the lore, which was after the release of the champion Berserker, and Kai'Sa naturally gained the favor of the designers.

She went from being a hero who accidentally acquired the "lowest Void skin" to becoming a hero like Bervis who mutated into "Void cancer".

Yes, Kai'Sa is similar to Bervis, but in some ways, she far surpasses Bervis. This doesn't refer to strength, but rather to the unique nature of the Void. Bervis rebelled against the Void, developed self-awareness, and attempted to devour it, but the Void was very wary of Bervis. Kai'Sa, however, is different.

There is a long dialogue in Piervis's Heroic Tales Windmill, in which Piervis believes that Kai'Sa's special nature allows her to enter the Void without attracting the attention of the Watchers, who would treat Kai'Sa as a Void creature and as "part" of themselves. Therefore, Piervis asks Kai'Sa to cooperate with him to kill the Watchers.

So, could we deduce from this that it will play a crucial role in future battles against Void Kai'Sa?
Soraka leaned back, no longer letting Jinx touch her horns, and then looked at Rick, saying, "Rick, I need your help with something."

"Please tell me, I will do my best to help," Li Ke said after thinking for a moment.

Soraka's request was probably just a matter of not making things too complicated. As one of the top three strongest players in Runeterra right now, Lee K really needed Soraka's strength. Since she asked for his help, Lee K thought he would agree.

Because Li Ke will need Soraka's fighting strength in the future.

The Twin Cities are about to reveal the existence of the Void to the world, and the timeline of the Great World has already entered the year 990. In the future, demigods and various powerful beings will emerge one after another to block the Twin Cities' path.

Azir, Xerath, and the Shurima Darkin drama unfold, Mordekaiser in the underworld is always ready to return to Runeterra, and the Ruined King, hidden in the black mist, is also always ready to cause trouble with his little hammer.

Runeterra's reputation for being plagued by disasters is no exaggeration.

As the core cities connecting the world, Twin Cities now bear a heavy responsibility. To sum it up in one sentence, it's like saying, "This is my planet, and I am Li Ke, the leader of Rune Earth!"

"Don't worry, what I need you to do for me isn't troublesome." Soraka smiled slightly, stretched out her hand, and on her delicate and beautiful fingers, a tiny soul danced on the pale pink fingertips. It was only a few inches in size, wearing knight's armor, holding a greatsword and a cross shield. Yes, it was the battle celestial spirit Cecilia.

“Cecilia, her strength is no less than Pantheon’s. Rick, it’s not that I’m underestimating you, but the main reason you were able to kill Pantheon is because Runeterra limited Pantheon’s strength. Secondly, the former Ascended Aatrox helped you a lot.”

Li Ke nodded, agreeing with the assessment. He could indeed reach the demigod level by consuming one Lotus Point and activating Lotus Transformation, but compared to a veteran demigod like Pantheon, Li Ke was still far inferior.

Pantheon's Protoss name is War, and he is a valiant and warlike Protoss. If he were outside the stars, even Rick and Aatrox would be helpless against him; they would probably have to turn and run away as soon as they saw him.

Soraka's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction, and then she praised Rick's lack of arrogance. Then she said, "You know a lot of things, so I think you should also know about the Moon Goddess, right?"

"Are you referring to the Moon Spirit, or her successor, Diana?" Rick asked.

Soraka laughed and said, "There is no Diana Celestial among the Titans. Diana misunderstood the legacy she received. When Runeterra was discovered by the Titans, it was governed by the Sun Celestial and the Black Moon Celestial. However, an unexpected event caused the Sun Celestial and the Black Moon Celestial to become enemies. The Black Moon was defeated in that battle and disappeared into the starry sky."

The Sun Spirits were victorious and issued an order forbidding the Rakol people from worshipping the moonlight. From then on, the Luna Cult was lost on Mount Targon, and the Black Moon became a legendary celestial being.

Throughout those ten thousand years, she never showed herself, so the Titans labeled her dead. In reality, however, she was still alive, as Diana is the best proof.

Li Ke nodded. This was something he really didn't know about Black Moon. These were things that weren't written down in the official records!

Soraka continued, "Cecilia and Blackmoon are very close, like sisters. Back then, she fought alongside Blackmoon against Pantheon and the Celestials. Therefore, if you can help find Diana and extract information about Blackmoon from her, Cecilia might become one of yours."

Li Ke's eyes brightened slightly.

Is this a buy-one-get-two-free deal?
Buy Cecilia and get Black Moon and Diana as a freebie?

Three demigods at once?!

Although Li Ke has many demigod friends now, he can call on at least four or five from Freljord, and there are more than twenty in the Spirit Blossom waiting for him to conquer, the problem is that he might complain about having too many strong people.
With one more demigod, there's one more possibility of fighting against the Celestial Realm in the future!

“I understand, leave this to me.” Rick accepted Soraka’s request, but after thinking for a moment, he looked at Soraka and added, “However, Soraka, why don’t you go find Diana yourself? With your abilities, finding her shouldn’t be difficult, right?”

Soraka gave a helpless smile, pointed to her face, and said softly, "Because Diana won't trust me. She's been influenced by the Black Moon and has developed a resistance and aversion to the Protoss. She's used moonlight to cover her tracks, so even I can't find her."

"I understand. I'll try to find out about Diana when I have time."

"it is good."

Having said that, Soraka finished her tea, and Rick understood what she meant.

"Then we'll be going. I'll come find you again next time I have the chance."

Soraka looked up and said gently, "I'll be looking forward to it."

With Kai'Sa, Jax, and Taliyah, who had been left behind along the way, Rick and his group returned to Zaun.

Kasha saw the Twin Cities and her eyes widened in disbelief; she had never seen a city like this before!
And what about Li Ke?

What he was thinking was,
at last
He was about to reveal the void to the whole world, and he had been preparing for this for many years.

So, it's time to begin.
