Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 221 I shall proclaim to all the people of Freljord, my name is Lissandra!

The first thing to affect Freljord, and the direction that caused the big commotion, was in the northeast, which is where Udyr and Aatrox are.

What appeared was an enormous wild boar, its limbs like towering pillars reaching the sky, each hoof the size of a mountain, incredibly thick, and its skin the dark brown of the earth, with strange markings.

A pair of fangs curved around his mouth, forming an arched shape, and his scarlet eyes held a mad glint.

Frankly speaking, comparing the Juvask wild boar to it is completely incomparable.

Of course, I'm not talking about size, but rather appearance. In terms of appearance alone, the Juvask Boar completely lacks the wildness and savagery of the Boar God's tusk.

Even the bristling, which is said to have reverted to its ancestral form, would only look like a tender little wild boar when placed before the god of wild boars.

Because the wild and untamed aura emanating from the Boar God cannot be replicated.

"Who is that?!" Janna asked quickly.

That wild boar's aura was much stronger than his own!
Lissandra calmly replied, "It's the Great Fang."

"He is the boar god of Freljord, who wields savagery and the power of flesh and blood, and is hailed as the embodiment of the Freljord land."

"So, is he here to help you, or to..." Janna asked, then stopped midway through the question.

Because Lissandra was looking at her with an expression as if she were an idiot.

This made Janna a little embarrassed, but she still insisted on asking, "So, what should we do next?"

Lissandra is stern and has a cold demeanor. During their collaboration against Volibear, Janna found her to be really difficult to get along with, but what could she do? Lissandra was simply too strong.

Furthermore, since Lissandra is a native of Freljord, Najana would naturally ask for Lissandra's opinion.

“Keep fighting, Udyr is on his way now,” Lissandra said after a moment’s thought.

Janna was taken aback by Lissandra's words.

From beginning to end, she fought in accordance with Li Ke's wishes. Janna fought for Li Ke and had no intention of backing down. But what about Lissandra?
Throughout the entire encounter, she appeared hesitant and timid towards Janna, even occasionally saying things like, "If no one comes soon, I'm going to run away."

But now, Lissandra has changed her usual behavior and become more proactive, a change that puzzles Janna.

Although this is a good thing for Janna, at least she doesn't have to worry about the witch running away anymore, but... why?

“Not enough,” Janna said hesitantly. Lissandra was much stronger than her, and even she had sensed several forces watching this side, and they were also making moves. So it was impossible for Lissandra not to have noticed.

So even if that guy named Udyr comes, what change can his arrival possibly bring to the current situation?

After all, even with Janna, Lissandra, and Udyr combined, they could only suppress Volibear; the best outcome they could achieve was defeating him.

It takes three against one to win, and now so many guys are coming out to help this bear.
Lissandra had no idea what Janna was thinking, but if she did, she would probably tell Janna that things were now beyond repair.

The situation has now evolved to the point where it's no longer just about Rick, Sejuani, Winter's Claw, Volibear, and the bear.

Rather, it's about Lissandra and Volibear, and the alliance between the Three Sisters and the Ancient Path Alliance.

This is a major event concerning the future of Freljord.

If Volibear were to truly gather these Old Gods, Freljord would be transformed without the Void needing to intervene.

Thousands of years ago, when Volibear led his followers and ancient beasts, the boar god, the Great Jaggi, was his greatest ally. This Iron Mountain Boar is the earth power of Freljord, wielding powerful laws, and is also one of Lissandra's greatest enemies.

Thinking of this, Lissandra suddenly felt a little emotional. She didn't know how she had managed to do it back then. Her eldest sister fought against the Void, her second sister fought against the Celestials, and she was leading humanity against the ancient path of Freljord.
The three sisters went so far as to fight against all things in the world in order to lead humanity to rise up. Although they had many enemies, they also had many allies.

In the ancient battlefield, Avarosa became deaf while fighting the Void, Cyrilda became mute while fighting the Celestials, and I myself became blind while fighting the barbarians of Freljord.

Well, the point is that even so, Lissandra really managed to pull it off. Although she was defeated by Volibear, would it be shameful to tell anyone about it?
How could it be shameful? That's Volibear, one of the most powerful gods in Freljord!

He is the creator god of Freljord!

At his peak, Volibear cleaved a fjord with a single blow, fought the giant serpent Londo, and ultimately killed him. He used Londo's blood to create the first river in Freljord, while Londo's corpse formed the Wyvernback mountain range.

Thinking of this, the look of vicissitude on Lissandra's pretty, youthful face became even more pronounced.

She used to have two older sisters to rely on, and Anivia to help her, so she wasn't afraid of failure. But now, she has nothing left.

Lissandra cannot be defeated, or even injured, because she carries a great sin. For thousands of years, she has been working to resolve the Void, and over time, this matter has become a deep-seated demon in her heart.

If Lissandra cannot resolve the Void issue for Freljord, she will never forgive herself.

This is why she only resisted Volibear and refused to attack; she didn't want to get hurt, and she couldn't afford to get hurt here.

Her sins were too deep, too heavy!
She betrayed her sister and went against Anivia, the benevolent goddess of humanity, becoming a sinner in the eyes of the people of Freljord.

In order to cover up her mistakes and feel ashamed of her disgrace, she began to make one mistake after another until she realized that she seemed unable to truly resolve the crisis of the Void. Only then did Lissandra gradually begin to change her mind.

Now, is she going to make the wrong choice again?
Choosing to escape once again allowed the ancient road of Volibear to be established, and Freljord to return to a wild and untamed world.

Will the Freljords once again be subjected to the violent rule of the Old Gods?
"Really, this kind of thing, once or twice is enough," Lissandra muttered to herself, lowering her head.

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Janna dodged the lightning attack and turned to look at Lissandra, asking.

Lissandra did not answer Janna's question, but floated in the air, her white dress tinged with blue.

Then, in an instant, Lissandra's white dress transformed into an ice-blue dress, and she stretched out her hand, where a beautiful crystal gem appeared in her palm.

Then, her outstretched hand, along with the crystal gem, instantly clenched into a fist. With a series of soft "clicks," Lissandra unleashed a magical power comparable to Volibear's.

"Voliber, you blinded me and broke my spirit." Lissandra's body began to grow larger, and her smooth white hair turned into icicles, and the image of the Ice Witch known to the world appeared in the air.

In this form, Lissandra appears bizarre and terrifying. A strange helmet grows from her, obscuring her face and revealing only her angular chin and dark lips.

Lissandra's voice grew hoarse and unpleasant, and her hands began to twist and lengthen, her fingernails growing to an astonishing length. "What, witch, are you saying this to surrender to me!" Volibear laughed loudly, lightning surging, sensing the appearance of his ally, and he began to mock Lissandra.

Iron Mountain Boar, Bone-Eating Snake, Frost Shadow Wolf, Snow Mountain Eagle, White-Headed Sable—they all appeared.

He will gather the ancient path once again!
On the other hand, what about Lissandra?
Her two older sisters are dead, Anivia is at a loss, the white fox is hiding and dares not show herself, and the seal nun is in the North Sea and no longer cares about Freljord.

Although the witch has indeed become powerful, even more powerful than Volibear imagined, forcing someone like Volibear to admit that humans are indeed a group of creatures favored by Runeterra.

Their lifespans are extremely short, but their talents and spirituality are astonishing. Hundreds of years are nothing more than the time it takes for Volibear to sleep, but for humans, it is a time of upheaval. Every few hundred years, a group of beings beyond the imagination of the ancient gods will appear among humans.

That's precisely why Volibear needs to control humanity!
Humanity must submit to the great god of war and worship the great roar of thunder!

“I want to overturn everything from the past and pin it all on you because you blinded me and terrified me. That’s why I conspired with the Void and plotted to kill Avarosa and Serilda. I betrayed Anivia and made Ornn sad and heartbroken. But in the end, it was all my own choice.”

Lissandra spoke coldly to Volibear. After recounting these events in person, Lissandra felt a shift within herself. She looked at Volibear and continued:

"Even without you, I think I would have chosen to conspire with the Void for other reasons. I covet power. Yes, that's the kind of person I am."

Only a few seconds passed in the outside world, but it felt like a century had passed in Lissandra's mind.

Once, after using Anivia's power to sacrifice everything, freeze all things, and freeze the void and countless living beings, Lissandra's time was also frozen and stopped on that day. Since then, the image of the Ice Witch has appeared in Freljord, while Lissandra, one of the three sisters, has disappeared.

She no longer shows her true face, and even her own subordinates cannot see Lissandra's true face.

So, when did her time begin to flow again?
Lissandra thought for a moment, and it was probably after she met Rick, heard him talk about the Void, and was scolded by him for making a mistake.

It seems that from that moment on, Lissandra suddenly stopped fearing her past, because there really was someone who knew the truth about everything in history, and even dared to tell her in front of her that she had indeed done wrong.

She had kept it hidden for so long, but when she was finally exposed and scolded, Lissandra's reaction was not anger or shame, but a strange sense of relief.
From that point on, she should present her true self to the public.

Thinking about this, Lissandra suddenly felt a little emotional.

I, Lissandra, have lived for tens of thousands of years, only to have my thoughts changed by the words of a child.
"Witch, what are you babbling about!" Volibear yelled at Lissandra, annoyed that the witch was acting strangely.

Lissandra laughed hoarsely.

Her voice echoed throughout every corner of Freljord; every human heard Lissandra's voice.

Lissandra's expression changed, her cold demeanor vanished, and she raised her chin, shouting loudly:
"I proclaim this to all living beings of Freljord!"

"My name is Lissandra, the youngest of the three Ice Sisters. I murdered my two older sisters, Avarosa and Serilda, out of personal lust, and brought utter calamity upon Freljord."

I slaughtered countless clans and covered villages and towns with ice and snow, just to bury the truth of history and not want humanity to know the mistakes I made!

But now, I will tell everyone in Freljord by my own mouth that I, Lissandra, am a sinner!

I did those things, and I won't deny it; I'll admit to them one by one. Okay, you can criticize me, hate me, curse me all you want now! But even so, I won't apologize to you. I'll prove everything with my actions.

Volibear, you want your ancient path back to Freljord? I can only say you're dreaming! Because from this day forward, I will fight you to the death!

"From this day forward, Frostguard declares war on all Bearmen! I will slaughter all your followers, and I will personally shatter your beautiful dreams."

Lissandra's voice echoed throughout Freljord.

This earth-shattering proclamation turned Volibear's face ashen. He glared at Lissandra and roared, "Witch, how dare you!"

"You really think I'm afraid of you?!" Lissandra completely changed her previous image of being timid and only able to defend when fighting Janna.

She flew forward in front of Janna, until she reached Volibear's massive form.

Hundreds of meters apart, Lissandra and Volibear faced off, ice and lightning clashing. Lissandra burned her life force, and a phantom no smaller than Volibear's massive body appeared behind her.

She was a white-haired woman with closed eyes, exuding a sacred aura; she was Lissandra, the youngest of the legendary three sisters.

She is a genius, an absolute genius.

The three Ice Sisters are all geniuses. Whether it's Avarosa or Cyrilda, they are geniuses who only appear once every ten thousand years.

Even someone as powerful as the Ascended Empress Setaka could only be compared to Avarosa and Cyrilda.

Think about it, during the most difficult period for humankind, when we were domesticated as food for all living things, it was the three sisters who led humankind to create our own world, and it was the three sisters who led humankind to rise up.

They each fought against the most dangerous, powerful, and terrifying things in the world.

Celestial spirits, beings of the void, and ancient gods of the wilderness.

Lissandra's talent and abilities far surpass those of her two older sisters, which is why she is able to see through illusions and directly access the void.

Ten thousand years ago, without the power of the Void, Lissandra was able to fight Volibear. Ten thousand years later, with the power of the Void and nearly ten thousand years of training, just as Li Ke thought, Lissandra's strength is definitely at the ceiling level of Runeterra.

Many people think that Mordekaiser is the real big boss, but in reality, what is Mordekaiser compared to Lissandra?

By age, Mordekaiser calling Lissandra an ancestor is an insult to her. In terms of experience, Mordekaiser's greatest experience was being cast into the underworld. And in terms of their enemies, Mordekaiser's enemy is Noxus, which is comparable to Swain and LeBlanc. But what about Lissandra's enemy? The entire Void!

The Watchers were deceived and fooled by Lissandra; they all wanted to kill her!

Therefore, when Lissandra truly let go of everything and faced herself squarely...

Freljord will soon learn just how powerful the Ice Witch truly is!
"Come on, Volibear, now, as you wish!"

"I will fight you to the death!"

The witch's shrill and mournful voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth, and the surging magic power made all living beings in Runeterra, even the celestial realm, sense her power.
