The dawn fell from the east of the horizon to the sea, covering the dark sky with layers of golden veil. Under the protection of the escort fleet, the Meteor headed eastward, slowly approaching its destination.
In a luxurious cabin with the same specifications as the captain, Lester quietly looked at the God-killing Blade that he had kept hidden for nearly three hundred years. He took a deep breath and gently held the hilt of the sword.
Getting along with a chatty person often requires a lot of courage.
The moment the fingers touched, Lester seemed to see Aatrox, who was in his taht form, using a loudspeaker to speak various kind family greetings into his head.
Knowing that he might have suppressed the darkness of the Darkin child, Lester had no intention of interrupting, and listened to the child say Shurima swear words in various ways for an hour, not to mention, this sun disk The accent of the top aristocratic gentleman is really authentic.
I don't know if Aatrox was swallowing the saliva that he had been collecting for an hour. During the quiet moment, Lester sighed.
"I said, it's just a matter of taking a nap, what's the point for you?"
"Come on! St! Special! What did you say! Are! People! Words! I&%&#..."
Lester, whose eardrum was almost burst by Aatrox, let go of the hilt of the sword. When the God-killing Blade stopped flashing at a high frequency, Lester held it again, established a connection with the sword's host, and said expressionlessly Dandan said.
"Have you finished speaking? If you haven't finished speaking, just keep talking. I'm listening."
Aatrox "...You...damn you bastard!"
Leicester said disdainfully.
"Of course I'm a bastard, otherwise how can I deal with you, an idiot sealed in a weapon by the Twilight Stars? Don't forget, Aatrox, you are my defeated general. I defeated you with dignity. You are my There is no rampant capital here at all.
I am willing to listen to you because I respect you. Don't be shameless. When my patience is completely exhausted, I will banish you to the void world. I think you should understand that I can do it. "
"……snort!"
Knowing that Aatrox had surrendered, Lester resumed his smile, making Aatrox feel inexplicably wronged as he had never been before.
"That's right. Only if you respect me can I respect you. In fact, I encountered some accidents and fell into a coma unintentionally. Otherwise, I wouldn't have turned a blind eye to you.
Aatrox, no matter what, we are partners fighting side by side now. I need your body, and you need mine. It is business for us to work together to kill all the protoss in the star realm, instead of wasting time. In useless places. "
"Lester, you didn't lie to me?"
"What's the benefit of me lying to you? Don't think too highly of yourself. If I want to lock you up for hundreds of years, I will tell you clearly."
"...Ah! Come on! What do you want from me?"
"Smart man, it's easy to understand. In fact, this time we will go to the coastal city in the northern part of Shurima continent, Zaun, or Vazun. I think you should know that place."
After hearing Lester's words, Aatrox's voice became more disdainful.
"It turned out to be that coastal city that secretly believed in false gods. It was the empire that was clearly protecting those ignorant people, but those ignorant people abandoned their belief in the gods and warriors and instead believed in a false god... Lester, what are you going to do there? What?"
He raised his eyebrows. He was not angry at Lester's attitude towards Aatrox. The idiot Janna had been wronged a lot, not even close to this, but he still had to be angry for Janna after all.
Not now, though.
"Before I say this, I am curious. In your opinion, what is the wind elf of Zaun, Garn Arem? What does false god mean?"
"Huh, you ignorant person."
"You don't want to explain, do you?"
Lester narrowed his eyes and softened his voice.
"...As early as the establishment of the empire, the first generation of god warriors had insight into the truth of all things in the world, including the division of 'gods'. There are four kinds of gods in the mortal world, namely false gods, demigods, and gods. and the true God,
The True God is located in another world that cannot be touched. The power of us ascended people comes from the True God. Demigods are extraordinary beings who control certain natural laws. There are three demigods in Freljord. Unfortunately, they were not locked up until I had never been to Freljord on the day of Godkiller Blade. Otherwise, Freljord would have been Shurima's territory. I had to cut off the bear's paw to taste what it tasted like.
As for the lowest level false gods..."
Aatrox chuckled and said sarcastically.
"Actually, you can be considered a false god. You are immortal, have some extraordinary power that is not your own, and are so arrogant that you don't know what to say.
The same is true for the wind elf. It is just a strange phenomenon created by the Zaun people. It will always be controlled and influenced by the Zaun people, and it will wither and disappear like catkins at any time. It has no power or any dignity. It comes and goes away as soon as you call it, a rootless wind, how can you call it God? And he is still unwilling to join the empire, which is really ridiculous.
Rather than letting that false god harvest the power of faith, it is better to put these power of faith on our celestial warriors. Lester, I don’t think you will understand that when the imperial decree was issued, those cowards of Vazuan It only took less than a day to abandon the false god who had protected them for hundreds of years. It can be seen that there is no need for such false gods to exist, and they only live to embarrass the gods. "
Lester sighed, knowing that this was the only point he could not refute Aatrox.
Janna is really the most miserable among the gods of Runeterra, bar none.
"Okay, let's not talk about Janna. Do you know that there is a void leyline in Zuan?"
"What!? You mean, there are void rifts in Vazuan? The ones in Icacia?"
This time it was Aatrox's turn to be surprised. He knew the territory of the Shurima Empire well, but he had never heard of a void rift in the northern part of the Shurima Great Wall Desert.
The void crack created by the Icathians has seriously damaged the empire's vitality. Unexpectedly, there is another area connected to the void in the northern territory.
Lester shook his head and asked.
"It's not confirmed yet, but there are some signs hidden underground that are very similar to void creatures. Do you know about Ixtal's floating fortress [Monolith]?"
"Of course I know that the monolith is the floating fortress created by that guy Nezuk. If I remember correctly, in that void war that was dominated by Xutar's battle of gods, Nezuk was the only one. The man survived, but other gods warriors died on the battlefield, including the floating fortress that he was proud of.
The guy's sworn guarantee was of no use, and in the end it was up to the empire's god warriors to close the void rift. "
Lester tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table and said slowly.
"What you don't know is that after the floating fortress was shattered, some rock fragments escaped from the void battlefield and formed self-awareness over a long period of time. After you god warriors fell, the void creatures in Shurima continent have been Quietly multiplying and expanding in the dark, it is the fragment of Murphy's Rock that gave birth to consciousness that constantly resists the erosion of the void, allowing Shurima to maintain its superficial calm.
It continued the will of Nezuk and Monolith, and silently performed the duties of the ascended ones. Three months ago, a major earthquake occurred in Zaun, and my people detected the energy of the Murphy Rock during the earthquake. Movement trajectory, so it is basically certain that the Murphy Rock is still moving underground in Zaun, and where it is located, there are often a large number of void creatures, so the possibility of void cracks cannot be ruled out. "
Aatrox sneered.
"So, what does this matter have to do with Aatrox and me? I would be happy for the Void to completely destroy this world. Lester, you don't think that after going through so much torture, I will still save the world. Bar?"
"You don't need to save the world again. I just need you to be on my side. Whether you encounter void creatures underground or other extraordinary threats, you must fully cooperate with my actions."
"Lester, I think you should go to sleep and have a sweet dream. There is everything in your dream."
Lester didn't care about Aatrox's sarcasm.
"I think you also want to understand where the source of power for you ascended people comes from. In other words, who is the true god in your mouth, the divine power that comes from the sun disk? What is the status of the great being who gives you divine power? situation..."
The sword demon's joking laughter gradually subsided, and the arrogant Aatrox's tone became more serious than ever before. Even the resentment accumulated for thousands of years could not dispel the desire in his heart.
Where does the power of the Celestial Warriors come from? This is something that even the imperial mages who established the Sun Disk were unable to figure out. From the moment the first Sun Disk of the Shurima Empire rose, the Ascended Ones only knew His power comes from the true god of Shurima, but he doesn't know who the true god is.
Before he fell, Aatrox also thought that the source of divine power might be those alien gods in the sky who called themselves [giants], until the twilight star spirit Mai Yinsha sealed Aatrox In God-Killing Blade, Aatrox realized that the source of power of the Celestial Warriors was definitely not the Titan Celestial Spirit.

"What do you know?"
"I've told you a long time ago, I know a lot of things, but you've been wasting your time arguing with me."
"Tell me, Lester, tell me, where does the power of the solar disk come from?"
With a smile on his face, Lester leaned back in his chair.
"Why should I tell you?"
Aatrox was stunned for a moment, and then a wave of rage surged in his heart.
"You have to think about what you're going to say."
The national curse of Shurima returned to his stomach, and Aatrox, whose soul was almost dispersed by anger, gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.
"You win, but Lester, don't lie to me, or I will make you die miserably."
Lester smiled.
“A pleasure to work with.”
After defeating Aatrox, Lester put the God-killing Blade back into a specially made magic scabbard. The magic scabbard with soul stone as the energy core can perfectly isolate the darkin energy released by the God-killing Blade, allowing Lester saves a lot of trouble.
The situation in Zaun is unclear, so even for his own safety, Lester will carry the God-Killing Blade with him.
Shia did not follow this trip. As Lord Demon Mask's closest companion, Dragon Girl stayed in the Emerald Territory to accompany Hina. In addition to being used at night, it was also convenient for Sheena to go to the Immortal Fortress to participate in the Supreme Council as the Lord of the Emerald Territory. The military meeting, in Sheena's words, meant that Burnham was going to discuss with the Emerald Territory the issue of the distribution of the spoils of the Kingdom of Gran and the invasion of the Freljord Frost Guards.
Different from the situation on the mainland three hundred years ago, there have been three continent-level all-out wars on the mainland in a hundred years. Two wars were initiated by Noxus, and one was initiated by the humiliated Kingdom of Gran and other countries. The country’s crazy counterattack against the Immortal Fortress,
Because of this, the Kingdom of Gran has become the main attack target of the Immortal Fortress. The war has evolved into a state of endless war in the long war.
The fear brought by the massacre finally broke the morale of the army of the Kingdom of Gran. Coupled with the silent assassinations of the princes and nobles of the Kingdom of Gran by Noxian assassins, the nobles of the Kingdom of Gran abandoned their country and fled abroad with their assets. Unable to resist, Norkland, the capital of the King of Gran, finally replaced the double-edged ax flag of Noxus, and the area north of the grand barrier became the inherent territory of Noxus.
The history of the continent, which was slightly changed by the Emerald Territory, struggled to get back on track under the regulation of the Great Will. The immortal Burnham Darkwill led his battle group to annex the entire Kingdom of Glen and a small half of the Principality of Valx until Today, the war on the continent of Valoran has not stopped. Noxus is at war with the Principality of Valkos and the Kingdom of Northland. This is why Lester did not bring Shia with him.
Rubbing his temples, Lester was a little tired at the moment. The Emerald Leader, who deliberately restrained his sharpness, did not interfere too much in Noxus' journey to conquer the continent. Because of this, Noxus unified the Eastern Continent. Major events are proceeding smoothly according to the original plan, so that the world will not go in a completely unknown direction.
The control of plots and events has always been Lester's advantage, and he has been working hard in this regard to avoid making too many unnecessary interventions, but there are still many things that exceed his expectations.
The Gray Mist Incident that occurred after annexing Liinlan and transforming Kiriwei Island into a training base for the Night Blade Kiriwei Assassin, it is ready to take the initiative to connect the countries of the Eastern Continent and change the conservative characteristics of Demacia, a powerful country in the Western Continent. The Sentinel of Light organization, Ixtal who secretly formed an alliance with the Emerald Territory, and the Frost Guard clan who took the initiative to send troops south to prepare to invade the southern continent...
This does not include the Bright Moon Sect that has not died out on Mount Targon.
One after another, things that had not happened in the original world were wrapped around the fishing rod like blown fishing lines. Although Lester could still pull the fish into the bucket by force, he no longer had the ease with which he used to. Feel.
