Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

As Thresh's voice faded, he stepped into the portal, clutching the strange steel helmet.

Just as Thresh left, the left wall of the secret room suddenly shook. It wasn't the wall shaking, but rather a fluctuation in space.

The empty chamber was completely empty, but at the bottom of the pool that once held the water of life, there was a small groove that remained intact despite the erosion of time.

The shape of this groove looks very much like something... a world rune!

Perhaps the Water of Life appeared because of the magical rune that created this continent.

What no one knew was that a thousand years ago, right beside the pool of the Water of Life, the veil between the material realm and the underworld became blurred due to the effect of the world runes. This was the closest place between the material realm and the underworld!

When the power of the Water of Life clashed with Foygo's King's Sword - Mu Qing, the veil became even more blurred, so blurred that...

The power of the underworld is enough to cross the veil and enter the material realm!

(Happy National Day, everyone! Have a great time! Mwah!)

Chapter 141. Zoran, Zoranni! It turns out he's not just a gamer...

Zoran, in the eastern part of Shurima.

The surging yellow sand carved a path through the rocks, forming a magnificent sand waterfall on the edge of the cliff. The yellow sand, like locusts devouring people, engulfed everything in its path.

Since Zuo Chi and Kasa's group left Zoran last time, the Exe clan has completely occupied this place.

Around the center of Zoran, in the deep pit that leads straight into the earth, void creatures clad in dark purple armor have crawled everywhere.

It has been an unknown amount of time since any living creature has appeared here. Even a passing sand hound would be torn apart by these void creatures in an instant.

But today, Zoran's magical barrier, which had existed for countless years, suddenly began to fluctuate.

"Buzz!"

Like a smooth mirror being shattered, the barrier rippled slightly before the hole in it rapidly expanded, and a figure appeared at Zoran's entrance.

It was the figure of a tall woman wielding a curved chainsaw, wearing strange bone armor, with dark purple skin and white hair.

The Darkin—Zorani!

After escaping from the Wuju Blade School in Ionia with all her might, Zoran completely concealed her presence and used her broken body to search for the location of flesh and blood.

From Ionia to Shurima, Zoranny has always been searching for a suitable physical body.

Like Aatrox, she is not content with possessing a person's fragile body; she will only use a powerful physique as a foundation to embark on endless devouring and evolution.

As the originator of blood magic, Zoranny possesses abilities that no one else in the world has.

She's like a cancer cell; as long as she can devour enough energy and flesh, she can achieve near-infinite evolution.

Now, after absorbing the bodies of many flesh and blood creatures, Zoranny's power is almost identical to what it was before she was sealed away by the Protoss.

It was at this time that Zorannie returned to Shurima.

Her grand ambitions are about to unfold, and she will achieve her ultimate goal on this land she once vowed to protect.

Her first task was to gather her former followers.

Aatrox has followers, and so does Zoranny!

At this moment, in the valley behind Zolani, countless corpses of void creatures were piled up into small mountains, and the pungent stench almost turned into blood-red clouds that rose into the sky.

Passing through the magical barrier, Zoranni's feet touched the ground of Zoran.

After thousands of years, she finally returned to her hometown, but the place was now completely unrecognizable.

Looking up into the distance, Zolani gazed at the high mountain deep within Zolan. If she remembered correctly, there should still be a statue of her on that mountain.

However, just as Zolani looked in that direction, her brows furrowed.

There, she saw a mountain that had been completely torn apart, and the spot where her statue had once stood had long since disappeared.

Zoranny may never know that not long ago, a group of people came here, tore her statue to pieces, and buried Rex in that tunnel.

Zolani's appearance instantly attracted all the void creatures on the Zolan land. They shook their huge bodies and turned their heads in the direction of Zolani.

Then, endless roars resounded, and a tidal wave of void creatures rushed towards Zolani.

Such a massive number of void creatures could easily tear a human legion to shreds in an instant, and even some low-level ascendants would have to temporarily avoid their attacks.

However, just as these void creatures rushed towards Zolani, Zolani's body showed no sign of retreating.

A rich aura of blood gushed forth from the curved chainsaw in her hand, the dim blood light almost solidifying into tangible blood. Zolani swung the chainsaw, transforming it into a streak of blood-red light as she charged toward the oncoming void creatures.

"puff!"

Pulled by the chains, the chainsaw pierced straight out, instantly piercing through the bodies of the first few Exys charging forward.

The chainsaw was retrieved, while Zolani, whose figure was much smaller than Exe, charged into the dense mass of void creatures.

For a moment, the mournful roars of the void creatures were incessant. The dark red blood energy sometimes transformed into swords and sometimes into viscous ribbons. Whenever the blood passed through a void creature, a huge corpse would fall to the ground.

Zolani's figure flashed by quickly, the sound of chains was crisp and pleasant, while the sound of chainsaws cutting through flesh was chilling.

After an unknown amount of time, on the Zoran land surrounded by mountains, apart from the figure holding the curved chainsaw and chain, there was no other standing figure left in the arena.

"Tick-tock!"

Thick blood dripped from Zolani's weapon as she gazing indifferently at her surroundings.

Zolani's body slowly rose into the air, and she arrived at the cliff where her statue had once stood, stopping on a protruding stone platform.

Now that all the obstacles have been cleared away, it is time to call upon one's followers!

Standing atop the cliff, Zolani spread her arms wide, gazing down at the earth with an air of superiority.

A crimson light began to emanate from her hands, and gradually, the magical barrier protecting Zoran dissipated. Zoran's power, along with the storm in Shurima, swept across every corner of Shurima.

"My believers, I am right here!"

"Follow the guidance of blood and soul, come to me, and I will lead you to a world without war and suffering!"

Zoran's voice echoed through the mountains, and people all over Shurima turned to look in Zoran's direction.

Thousands of years ago, during the Darkin Wars, Aatrox won over a group of Darkin followers with his charisma.

Zolani, on the other hand, also garnered a group of followers by advocating the elimination of war in the world.

Although their combat strength cannot compete with the powerful Darkin, once their numbers increase, the quantitative change will lead to a qualitative change!

Zolani sat cross-legged on the stone platform, closed her eyes, and carefully sensed the presence of her fellow countrymen.

After a long while, Zolani slowly opened her eyes.

At that moment, a strange glint of blood flashed in her eyes.

"Aatrox, do you want to lead your men to attack me? Then come on."

I'd love to see your expression when your brothers and sisters raise their weapons at you!

"And the first one is Anakha!"

As Zoranny said, Anakka, the Darkin spear from Freljord, who was the first to feel the general's call and the first to break the seal, has now come to the continent of Shurima following the general's summons!

-

Meanwhile, after leaving Shadow Isles, Zuo Chi flew eastward.

[Congratulations, host, on successfully fulfilling Maokai's dream! Please choose one of the following four rewards!]

finally come.

Looking at the blue light screen that appeared in front of him, Zuo Chi couldn't help but feel a deep sense of excitement.

To date, Mokae's wish is arguably the most difficult to fulfill.

To help him fulfill his wish to purify the Shadow Isles, Zuo Chi traveled to almost every part of Runeterra, involving as many as ten demigods!

Fortunately, it was finally completed. Thinking of this, Zuo Chi looked down at the four options below.

[Water of Life *1 Bucket: High-tier legendary item, holy water imbued with powerful life force, capable of providing the host with a massive amount of magic power and vitality.]

[The Language of Nature: Gain the ability to converse with animals and plants, and to gain closeness with all living things.]

[Natural Elemental Magic: Maokai's fundamental magic. After learning it, one will gain the ability to manipulate natural elements.]

[Darkin Weapon - War Axe: A mysterious Darkin weapon sealed within the Shadow Isles' underground vault, a mid-tier legendary weapon.]

"???"

Looking at the four options in front of him, Zuo Chi's heart skipped a beat.

He had to admit that although the process of realizing his wish was very bumpy, the rewards were also incredibly lavish.

The third option is undoubtedly the ability to manipulate natural elements that Zuo Chi has always longed for, namely Maokai's primal magic.

But apart from the third option, the other three options all appealed to Zuo Chi, especially the last one.

It's actually a Darkin weapon!?

Since Zuo Chi arrived in Runeterra, he had never seen such a reward notification before.

However, Zuo Chi hesitated, since he knew absolutely nothing about this weapon and couldn't determine which faction the Dark Ones sealed within it belonged to.

What if a Darkin appears in Zoranny's team? Wouldn't that be like handing the enemy supplies?
