I, Folyago, am the most devoted lover in Runeterra.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!!!"

"You underestimate me, Illaoi!"

"Don't try to figure me out with your childish thinking. One day, I will become the King of Bilgewater!"

"I'll be waiting for you to beg me to spread your ridiculous sect in Bilgewater!"

A moment later, Planck suddenly burst into laughter, then uttered a vicious threat to Illaoi.

His eyes still held ambition and cruelty.

It seems that this defeat has not shaken Planck's morale.

"you!"

Illaoi was initially annoyed, then gave Planck a resentful look before leaving without looking back.

......

As Illaoi walked away, her broad back swaying in the distance, Planck sighed inwardly.

Scenes from the past gradually surfaced in Planck's mind.

At that time, Planck had just killed his father and inherited everything from him.

Just as they were sharpening their knives, ready to make a big splash, they encountered Illaoi, who had just arrived in Bilgewater from the Python Islands, at the port.

At first, Planck harbored wicked intentions, wanting to toy with this woman who knew nothing of Bilgewater's depths.

However, reality soon taught Planck a lesson.

This woman's terrifying strength made Planck deeply regret ever provoking her.

Planck's crew were easily subdued by this woman.

But to everyone's surprise, the woman asked Planck a question the moment she saw him.

Phrases like "Do you want to accept the trial?" or "Worship the great god of Baru" are used.

When Planck was young, he had a bad habit, which was that he was stubborn like a duck.

Even though I was terrified, I still forced myself to say something.

"What a joke! You want me, Planck, to worship some goddess Baru!"

"Unless you become my woman."

As he spoke, Planck deliberately put on a wicked grin, probably thinking something like "a man should die standing up."

But what happened next was something Planck never expected.

After hearing Planck's words, the terrifying woman paused for a moment before responding in a low, rough voice.

"I agreed."

"My name is Illaoi, nice to meet you."

After saying that, Illaoi stretched out his large, fan-like hand.

Planck was completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at Illaoi's fan-like hand.

He never intended to fight; he just said something stubborn, and it ended up bringing him a girlfriend.

Is there such a good thing?

Plank shed "tears of emotion".

And just like that, Planck happily acquired a brand new girlfriend!

......

Looking at the large, fan-like hand in front of him, Planck felt like crying.

His heart was in refusal, but his body was timid.

Who knows if this woman will raise the idol in her hand and smash his head to pieces if he doesn't cooperate?

Planck could only force a smile, then reached out his hand and said in a trembling voice.

"Hello... my name is Planck..."

And so, after this farcical encounter, the two became a couple.

Later, after the two got to know each other better, Planck also learned the reason for everything.

Illaoi is the "True One" of the goddess Nagakaporos, possessing the ability to see a person's "aptitude".

Planck is someone with "aptitude," but his aptitude is relatively poor, so if he were to participate in the "trials"...

The probability of them dying is probably quite high.

After passing the trial, one can receive the blessing of the goddess Nagakaporos and possess power as great as Illaoi.

Illaoi came to Bilgewater with the intention of further spreading the faith of Nagakaporos there.

It was for this reason that Russia, after careful consideration, decided to...

She felt that even without participating in the trials, Planck would still achieve great things in the future, and in that case, she could use Planck's influence to spread the faith of Nagakaporos.

That's why they agreed to Planck's request.

After learning everything, Planck did not rush to break up with Illaoi, but instead began to plan how to use Illaoi's power to achieve his own goals.

However, after Illaoi learned of Planck's wicked nature, she took the initiative to break up with him.

Because this is seriously inconsistent with the teachings of Nagakaporos!

And so, the two went their separate ways in Bilgewater and parted ways.

......

Now, Planck watched Illaoi's retreating figure and silently made a vow in his heart.

He must get his revenge!

Take back everything that once belonged to me!

Although the Iron Hook Gang suffered heavy losses after Li Ang's massacre, it was not completely wiped out.

Planck still has a chance to turn the tide.

......

It's not hard to see from here that among all the demigods in Runeterra, Nagakaporos is definitely one of the most unfathomable.

In terms of skill alone, he is far superior to other demigods.

His subordinates not only include Nautilus and Pyke, who are tools for spreading fear and propagating faith.

There are also the Nagakaporos sect, and the Illaoi, who believe in truth, goodness, and beauty, spread orthodox faith, and scavenge for talent.

This deep-sea demigod is certainly not as foolish as he appears.

Chapter 51, The New Archbishop

On a scenic hillside in Bilgewater, Sarah and Pike gazed at Leon's tombstone in silence for a long time.

The two had different inner thoughts, but they remained tacitly still.

Until the moon sets and the sun rises.

Another day has begun in Bilgewater.

Finally, Sarah made the first move, turning and walking towards the center of Bilgewater.

She felt that time should not be spent reminiscing about the past.

Sarah must seize every moment to accomplish what she must do—unify Bilgewater!

"Wait... Sarah!"

Seeing Sarah about to leave, Pike suddenly woke up and called out to Sarah to stop her.

Sarah turned around abruptly, a pale power bursting from her body, her eyes holding a look that Pike found somewhat unfamiliar.

The powerful aura of the Gold Rank caused Pike to stop in his tracks, staring at Sarah in a daze.

"Don't call me Sarah anymore, Sarah is dead."

"I am—misfortune!"

Sarah spoke solemnly to Pike, her words having long lost their former harmony.

Although she doesn't mind Parker's desertion yesterday, it doesn't mean she will ignore it all.

It was Pike's desertion that led to Leon's death.

That's right.

Given the trouble Sarah caused, Pike could have chosen to run away; that's human nature.

However, Sarah also has the right to choose to part ways with Parker because of his escape, which is only natural.

"Don't do this, Sarah... bad luck..."

Parker instinctively called out Sarah's name, but was stopped by Sarah's gaze and had to change his address.
