I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

Is this Noxus?!

Nidalee thought about it silently, but it didn't seem to have much to do with her.

Anyway, it's good that the other side failed.

"Wrong, it's just a political struggle. Swain didn't lose to Ionia, but to the power of their own people!"

Bai Ye said calmly, "Those two are still too naive."

However, in the battle between Swain and the Black Rose, Swain is destined to lose, because Noxus itself is currently under LeBlanc's control, and Swain will not gain power until he does.

LeBlanc had many ways to kill Swain, but she orchestrated this whole thing to make Swain's death less bizarre.

Isn't Swain now the one to take the blame for the war's defeat?

Now, eliminating Swain would be a piece of cake for LeBlanc.

"Internal strife?"

"Okay, let's not talk about that."

Bai Ye glanced at the distance and felt a sense of unease.

A crow was watching him from the other side.

Has Swain gained power?

Bai Ye muttered to himself, "So, what's the reason that he suddenly came to me after gaining power?"

White Night is currently in Demacia and isn't particularly afraid of Swain.

However, due to what happened on the battlefield, Bai Ye is not planning to provoke Swain for the time being.

He also knew very well that once Swain was ready to make trouble for him, he would never return to Noxus.

There's nothing I'd like to miss over there.

Bai Ye's mind raced for a moment. He told Nidalee to take Sona and leave first, while he stayed behind. After Nidalee, Sona, and Ahri left, the raven landed beside Bai Ye.

"You seem to have known I would come?"

"Swain, you really have guts! You actually dared to come to Demacia all by yourself!"

Not only the ravens, but Swain himself came.

But then again, shouldn't Swain be working on overthrowing the emperor from within Noxus at this point?

Why would they come looking for me first?!

Is he really that important to Swain?

Bai Ye had a question mark in his mind about this, as he did not think he was that important to Swain.

Bai Ye was also relieved, because Swain had come alone, which meant that he hadn't come here to kill him.

If he wanted to make a move, Swain should have done so when Sona and the others were here. And to do it within Demacia at the same time? Bai Ye doubted that unless he was out of his mind, it was simply impossible for him.

"Because I know some things."

Say it.

Swain raised his arm, which Irelia had severed, and a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.

This is truly a sad thing.

His own arm has become the hand of a demon. He has gained power, but is he still himself?

As he was about to be executed, he gained power in the Immortal Fortress, and in doing so, he overthrew the Noxian imperial power.

He overthrew Brown Darkwell and also established the Trifary Council.

From this moment forward, he will end Noxus's dictatorship and hereditary system of officialdom.

The blow to the nobility had only just begun; he was determined to rebuild Noxus.

"Want to join me?"

This time, Swain formally invited Bai Ye. At the time, he had only invited Bai Ye if he could, and his attitude was that it would be good if Bai Ye joined, but it wouldn't matter if he didn't.

But this time, Swain approached Bai Ye because he genuinely wanted Bai Ye to join him.

Because he also realized that he had underestimated Bai Ye all along.

"No, I will not join any faction."

Just like before.

He wouldn't join Noxus in binding him; remaining neutral between various factions would be more in Baiye's best interest.

Swain wasn't surprised by Bai Ye's refusal; he had expected Bai Ye to refuse before he came.

"So, it's still the same collaboration as before, right?"

Swain nodded. Although he was somewhat disappointed, he felt it was acceptable if Bai Ye didn't join.

At least I have someone to work with when I'm away from home.

After gaining power and knowledge, Swain also understood what kind of person he had been facing.

He believed that the war was absolutely deserved, even though they lost it.

If you can't even figure out your opponent, how can you possibly defeat them?

Judging from his subsequent actions, Swain realized that he had been manipulated by LeBlanc from the very beginning.

"Sure, as long as you offer benefits, we can cooperate."

This is exactly what Bai Ye needs most. Bai Ye doesn't care who the other person is, as long as he can live with himself.

"So I have three missions: Demacia, Zaun, and Shurima."

"."

Bai Ye didn't think much of it at first, but when he heard Swain say that he had three things to entrust to him, he was stunned!

no? !

You're just focusing on increasing your fighting strength, aren't you?!

Is it that you, Noxus, have no one else left and have to do everything yourself?!

"I will pay you the appropriate compensation."

Seeing Bai Ye's strange expression, Swain added another sentence.

"Aren't you afraid I'll end up like I did before?!"

White Night recalled the war between Ionia and Noxus.

It seems that Swain approached me and asked me to cooperate, but in the end I did nothing and instead did things that harmed Noxus.

Bai Ye was very curious about this. Why did Swain still dare to cooperate with him? If he did the same thing as before, wouldn't Swain suffer a huge loss?

Who would give their all to something that's going to fail?

Swain didn't care at all. Back then, he didn't know what Bai Ye was after. Even though he saw the defeat in that war, it seemed reasonable for the other party to do whatever he wanted.

Swain didn't insist on this matter. Bai Ye was a little surprised to hear Swain say that, but after thinking about it, he didn't dwell on it anymore.

This general is indeed somewhat different from before.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

He had a general idea of ​​what was going on with the three different things, but he wasn't entirely sure.

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Swain didn't mince words and said directly, "The matter concerning Demacia is that you need to assist someone in assassinating the Demacian emperor."

Assassination of Demacia III?

Isn't that Katarina?

Bai Ye realized that the plot seemed to have reached this point, which meant that Silas's storyline was about to begin?!

Katarina's assassination attempt on Demacia III led to internal strife within Demacia.

In fact, Demacia has always adhered to isolationism.

In other words, they don't care about the affairs of other countries; they only want to protect their own little corner of the world.

Even though there have been many wars between them and Freljord and Noxus.

However, they still did not expand outwards. Just like in this war, Ionia was even on the verge of defeat in the early stages, but Demacia was able to remain stable.

Because of this, Darius was directly transferred to Freljord, and later, after Swain's coup, he was called back to change the Noxian Empire.

Assassinating Demacia III is now in Noxus's best interest.

Because they need a turbulent Demacia.

Swain saw the reason for the turmoil in Demacia: the Demon Hunters.

Class stratification is evident in many parts of Valoran, such as Piltover, but compared to Demacia, it is the true king of class stratification.

Because of the ban on magic, life is not very good for mages in Demacia.

But among the nobility, there are magicians.

This gave Swain an opportunity: if he could assassinate the emperor, who had been trying to ease tensions between mages and Demacia and even considered lifting the ban on magic, he could succeed.

Swain also decided to start from this point.

"This is truly Noxus style!"

Expansionism and isolationism, both highly distinctive, have been a recurring themes in Noxus and Demacia.

Moreover, the events triggered by Silas are about to begin.

In fact, if Lux had been prevented from meeting Sylas, then this whole affair would have been completely suppressed, right?

"What about the second one?"

Bai Ye probably already had some idea that Noxus wanted to attack Demacia.

Bai Ye was also very curious about the second thing.

What could possibly cause Swain to want to take action against Zaun?

"I need you to help me find someone named Singed."
