Douluo: Rainbow Cat, Blue Cat, Seven Swords and Dragon Rider

Chapter 1090 Mechanical Ascension
Keisha frowned and asked Lan Hong, "The power that the rune just now unleashed contained the power of time and space."

"What would have happened if you, my idol, hadn't stopped the rune's power from erupting?"

Lan Hong smiled.

"You probably already guessed it, didn't you? If I hadn't stopped the rune eruption, the three of them would likely have been sent to other parallel dimensions by the power of the erupting runes."

"The power of this rune is so great that it can break through the barriers of the universe and forcibly send them to other parallel dimensions."

He Xi asked, somewhat incredulously.

Lan Hong shook her head and said, "Perhaps you've misunderstood something. To teleport between parallel universes, you don't necessarily need immense power."

Parallel universes are connected by special nodes. As long as these special nodes are triggered, teleportation can be completed. Runes are precisely the nodes that connect different parallel universes.

At least that's the case in this universe.

Lan Hong didn't hide it from the others, so Heimerdinger, Jess, and Ekko all heard what Lan Hong said.

"Parallel universes... If parallel universes really exist, what would happen in them?"

Jess then hurriedly pressed for an answer.

"Do you want to see what happens in parallel universes? I can satisfy your curiosity."

However, after you see this, you might take some extreme actions.

"Could something terrible happen in the future? Is it because of Hextech?"

Jess had a feeling that this was definitely the case.

Therefore, he must see what will happen in the future, and if a disaster occurs, he must prevent it in advance.

"My idol, I also want to see what will happen in this parallel universe."

He Xi also spoke up, her curiosity as strong as ever.

"Alright, let's see what happens in this parallel universe."

Lan Hong took the initiative to activate the runes, and the light released by the runes enveloped everyone.

Meanwhile, Jinx once again escaped Vi and Katherine's pursuit.

They had a chance to capture Jinx, but a little girl suddenly rushed out to protect her.

Vi suddenly softened and let Jinx go because of the little girl, which infuriated Katherine.

The two of them had a big argument about this.

Vi said Catherine was becoming increasingly extreme, while Catherine said Vi didn't understand his pain at all.

Catherine didn't show it on the surface, but she was really in pain inside.

His mother died because of Jinx.

Jinx is the one who killed his mother, so he must kill Jinx to avenge her!
The two parted ways because of this difference in their beliefs.

This outcome caused both of them great distress.

Vi didn't return to Piltover; instead, she stayed in Zaun. She was still searching for Jinx, but while in Zaun, Vi discovered something quite ridiculous.

Jinx has become a hero, with countless people regarding her as a leader and believing that she is the hero who can lead the people of Zaun to rebel against Piltover.

After learning about what happened in Zaun, Wei understood why things were the way they were.

Simply put, it's like when the cat's away, the mice will play. The common people of Zaun have no other choice but to rely on Jinx, who is at least really good.

Although Jinx had no intention of being a hero or a leader, sometimes it wasn't a matter of whether she wanted to or not. She was pushed to that level, and there were some things she had to do even if she didn't want to.

Another interesting thing is that the battle between Vi, Katherine, and Jinx destroyed a section of the pipeline, causing poison gas from the lower city of Zaun to escape into the upper city, which had a serious impact on Piltover.

This further infuriated the Piltover lawmakers, who had previously been debating the Zaun plan, but now it was unanimously approved.

A conflict between Zaun and Piltover is inevitable, and the Black Rose, also known as LeBlanc, is lurking in the shadows.

Although one of LeBlanc's clones was kept by Blue Rainbow's side, her other clones were still causing trouble.

LeBlanc is quite interesting. Each of her clones thinks it is the real LeBlanc. In other words, LeBlanc has created so many clones that there is no real LeBlanc anymore.

Each LeBlanc listens to no one else, resulting in LeBlanc no longer being a single entity, but rather an organization, and a disorganized one at that.

The Black Roses in Operation Piltover were one of those secretly commanded by LeBlanc.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Lan Hong and the others.

After Lan Hong activated the power of the runes, they arrived in a parallel universe. However, they did not actually descend into that universe, but instead observed its situation from a god-like perspective.

Everyone was shocked to see the current state of that space-time; what they saw was a wasteland.

This wasteland is inhabited by countless humanoid creatures, or more accurately, puppets.

"What on earth happened? How did it turn out like this?"

Jess had no idea what was going on, but he knew it was definitely related to Hextech.

If these are all consequences of the proliferation of Hextech, then he, as the developer of Hextech, bears inescapable responsibility.

"Keisha, Hexi, can you guess what caused this situation in the parallel universe?"

He Xi thought for a moment, and her expression became serious.

"I feel like I've seen this scene before. The entire civilization underwent a mechanical ascension, sharing consciousness, but ultimately failed, leaving behind only ruins like this."

Debris is everywhere; all human consciousness will vanish along with the primary consciousness, and the entire civilization will thus come to a complete end.

Upon hearing He Xi mention the words "mechanical ascension," Jess immediately thought of his good friend Victor.

"Could it be him? Is it because he wanted to promote mechanical ascension that such serious consequences occurred? No, we must stop him."

Seeing Jess's impulsiveness, Heimerdinger said, "Jess, calm down. We still don't know whether Viktor or not."

We need to investigate this parallel universe more thoroughly, and ideally, find the Viktor from this parallel universe.

Jess also agreed with Heimerdinger, so they quickly searched for parallel universes from this God's-eye view and soon found Victor in this universe.
