Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

Even now, Qianwei Ningran still doesn't know what Zuo Chi wants him to do. He only knows that he is to do something very difficult, and that he and Zuo Chi have many powerful allies.

"Right now!" Zuo Chi nodded emphatically.

He looked at Qianwei Ningran, a hint of apology in his eyes:

"Lord Thousand Tail, I need to go to Karma, so I need you to personally go to the Order of the Balance and then travel to southern Bilgewater with Master Kennen, the Heart of the Storm."

This time, both Qianwei Ningran and Aiweng felt a jolt in their hearts.

They were somewhat surprised that Zuo Chi was able to invite Master Kennen of the Order of Balance to accompany them.

Even when facing Kennen, they must maintain a humble attitude, after all, Kennen's existence is even older than the First Earth, and he is one of the true creators of Ionia who participated in the Great Western Migration War.

After a moment's thought, Qianwei Ningran nodded.

"I'll set off immediately!"

Zuo Chi nodded slightly, then rubbed his face and asked hesitantly:

"Lord Thousand Tails, where is Ahri?"

Qianwei Ningran tilted her huge fox head and teased, "If you hadn't asked, I would have thought you had forgotten about my daughter."

Zuo Chi was a little embarrassed: "How could that be? Besides calling you, I came here this time to see Ah Li."

"Come with me."

Qianwei Ningran turned around and walked towards the depths of the center of the Omica Yalan Forest. After arriving at the place, Zuo Chi looked up and looked ahead.

There, there was a dense ball of pale blue light. Within the light, Ahri sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, her nine fox tails swaying behind her. Countless intricate runes floated around her, adding a touch of holiness to Ahri's charming face.

"Ah Li is still digesting my legacy and will be unable to meet you for the time being."

Zuo Chi looked at Ah Li in front of him without shifting his gaze: "It's good that Ah Li is alright. I'm very relieved to have her with Lord Qianwei."

After a long while, Zuo Chi withdrew his gaze and looked at Qianwei Ningran.

"Lord Chiogi, let's set off."

"it is good!"

Two figures flew out from the center of the Omicaiaran Forest, heading towards the eastern and southern parts of the Ionia continent at extremely high speeds.

After a period of development, the black fog that originally started from the south of Ionia has gradually approached the main continent of Ionia. It only needs to go a little further north to reach the sacred site of Ionia, Presidium.

Zuo Chi traveled south from the Omicaialan Forest, and the first place he arrived at was Philor Island!

Hovering above Philor Island, Zuo Chi looked up at the sky and then released his aura without restraint.

Syndra, are you still there?

Almost the instant Zuo Chi's voice fell, a huge, dark shadow that blotted out the sky descended from the heavens and pierced right in front of Zuo Chi's nose.

Zuo Chi quickly took half a step back and looked ahead.

Before him, on the black fortress that had once been propelled into the sky by Syndra's power, Syndra sat on her throne, her legs, clad in high heels, crossed, looking at Zuo Chi with a detached expression.

Although Syndra tried her best to appear calm, a closer look would reveal that her watery eyes were shimmering with a subtle light.

During the time Zuo Chi was gone, she thought of the person who gave her choices and freedom every day.

Unlike everyone she had met before, Zuo Chi truly respected her choices and never considered restricting her freedom.

For Syndra, the appearance of Zuo Chi was like the rising sun illuminating a long, dark night.

Syndra is willing to wait for Zuo Chi here and help him accomplish what he wants to achieve.

Most importantly, after a period of waiting, Syndra finally got her wish and she got Zuo Chi!

The feeling of this promise being fulfilled deeply moved Syndra.

Zuo Chi flew up to Syndra's fortress and waved to Syndra on the throne:

"Syndra, are you free right now? Can you do me a favor?"

Syndra, seated on her throne, looked at Zuo Chi. She slowly rose, her feet barely touching the air, her long white hair fluttering in the wind, and walked towards Zuo Chi.

Syndra was already tall, and with her feet off the ground, she was now half a head taller than Zuo Chi.

Looking down into Zuo Chi's eyes, Syndra asked softly, "If I'm busy, can I say no?"

Zuo Chi tilted his head and looked Syndra up and down: "Aren't you happy?"

"."

Syndra was momentarily speechless.

"answer my question!"

Zuo Chi nodded without hesitation: "Of course you can, it's your freedom. I'm making a request, so you can refuse."

Zuo Chi asked again, "So you're unhappy right now?"

"Is this important?" Syndra couldn't help but glare at Zuo Chi.

“Quite important.”

Zuo Chi looked down at the gradually recovering Philor Island and said softly, "If you're unhappy, I'll have to wait until you're happy before I leave. And if you've already decided where you want to go, I can give you some suggestions."

"Hmph~!"

Syndra gave a soft snort and didn't respond to Zuo Chi's words, because she really didn't know where to go.

During this period of time, apart from thinking about Zuo Chi every day, she hadn't thought about any future plans at all.

After a moment of silence, Syndra descended from the air and reached out her hand to Zuo Chi.

"Since you're so sincere, I'll go with you!"

Zuo Chi raised his hand and supported Syndra's hand from below with the back of his hand, exclaiming in an exaggerated manner, "Thank you, Lady Syndra~~"

"Pfft~!"

Syndra couldn't help but chuckle, but when Zuo Chi looked at her, she immediately suppressed her smile and looked at him with an indifferent expression.

Zuo Chi: "."

Without lingering, Zuo Chi guided Syndra, while Syndra controlled the massive floating fortress below. The towering fortress once again rose from Philor Island, heading straight for Karma's battlefield.

the other side.

“Sae-Eleisa-Tera-Vi!”

"boom!"

South of Presidium, on the southern border of the main continent, blue Sanskrit mantras filled the entire sky. Mysterious incantations continuously flowed from Kalmar's mouth, and each incantation signified a violent explosion.

The blue mantras intertwined, forming a large blue net that blocked the border of the Ionia continent, preventing the black mist and undead from entering the main continent of Ionia.

Ordinary human armies are completely ineffective against these mysterious black mists originating from the Shadow Isles.

It will take time for the news to travel from the south to the Order of the Balance in northern Ionia, so Ionia is now left to rely on Karma alone.

A torrent of powerful spiritual flames surged from Karma's hands, incinerating all the undead that tried to approach.

This is the second attack by the Black Mist. Last time, she went deep into southern Ionia. That time, she was almost completely swallowed by the Black Mist. If it weren't for the dozens of Karma souls in her body working together to awaken her consciousness at the critical moment, she might have really been infected by the Black Mist.

Now, as time goes by, Karma is once again feeling powerless.

Although the black mist could not cause her any real harm, the strange power contained within it was constantly eroding her mind.

The more undead she killed, the stronger that eerie power became, and Karma's negative emotions began to expand infinitely.

After the Noxian invasion of Ionia ended, extremely serious problems arose within Ionia, and as the Soul of Ionia, she had to worry about countless things almost every day, and the pressure on her shoulders was undoubtedly enormous.

In this situation, the all-pervasive power within the black mist could easily assimilate her.

This time, the Black Mist seemed prepared for a desperate fight, with a massive number of undead charging towards her fearlessly. Among these undead were even some Ionian people who had died in the Black Mist not long ago!

Karma struggled to resist the black mist, and the bloodshot in her eyes grew increasingly pronounced.

Despite the shimmering light of the blue gemstone worn between her brows, which was trying to keep her alert, it was far too difficult for her to fight against the black mist on her own.

A series of sharp pains surged through her mind, and just as Karma once again unleashed her Mind Flame to disperse the black mist in front of her, her pupils contracted instantly. A longsword, its body entirely dark green, pierced through the black mist and hurtled straight towards her brow!

"!!"

The tip of the Blade of the Ruined King collided with the blue gem between Karma's eyebrows, and two energies, light blue and dark green, erupted in an instant, completely splitting the place where Karma and Folyego were into two separate worlds.

"Click! Click!"

Suddenly, a series of ear-piercing cracking sounds rang out, and the blue gemstone was covered in cracks before shattering completely in the next instant.

Karma's body retreated rapidly, but Folger pursued relentlessly, wielding the King's Sword in his hand and slashing down at Karma's body. At the same time, a ghostly green light flew from Folger's hand and quickly entered Karma's brow.

Karma dodged Fjøya's attack at the last moment, clutching her head tightly with both hands as she retreated swiftly.

After creating some distance, Karma knelt on the ground, covering her head with her hands and letting out painful screams.

Opposite her, Folgo held the Broken King's Blade pointed at Karma, a triumphant smile on his face.

“Karma, I must admit, you are very strong, and your will is incredibly firm. But unfortunately, I must retrieve the fragments of Ysuld's soul, and for that, I am willing to pay any price!”

"Give up resistance and become my allies. After I resurrect the soul of Ysuld, I will give you and your people freedom."

Folgo could clearly sense that Karma was on the verge of collapse. He only needed to exert one last bit of effort to gain access to the countless souls within the spiritual realm of Ionia.

With the expansion of these souls, the number of undead in the black mist will reach an unstoppable level!
