Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

The battle had been going on for a very long time, with nearly 70% of the white-robed warriors killed in action. Even Jorah, the Darkin heavy shieldman known for his defense, had a dense and gruesome array of wounds on his body.

Not counting the three Baka killed by Zuo Chi, four more Baka died on Zolani's side. The Darkin Staff Balkux and the Darkin Star Metal Orb Horaz in the Darkin Legion had their physical bodies shattered and returned to their original forms, stuck in the ground.

The battlefield continues to expand, encompassing almost the entire territory north of the void rift in Icathia.

Countless people have died in this battle, and the number continues to rise.

In the sky, Zuo Chi and Aatrox stood side by side, staring at the mutated monster in front of them, both with a solemn look in their eyes.

After absorbing Mishira's body, Zolani's size expanded to almost several hundred meters. Her serpentine body twisted and turned, and the chains surrounding her swung, making a series of whooshing sounds.

Zolani originally intended to summon the Void to descend, but with the appearance of Kayle and Mishira, she no longer needed to, because now she was invincible on her own!

"Aatrox, show us your former arrogance! You are our general, have you forgotten?"

Zolani's mocking voice rang out, and at the same time, she once again showered down a cloud of blood energy, which nourished the remaining Baka and the white-robed warriors, causing them to completely enter a berserk state.

Upon hearing Zoranny's words, Aatrox gripped the Darkin Greatsword tightly, relentlessly squeezing out his own life force to unleash the Great Destruction once more!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Standing next to Aatrox, Zuo Chi could even hear the muffled heartbeat coming from Aatrox's greatsword.

"Zorani, I will kill you!"

By this time, Aatrox's voice had lost some of its hysteria and gained a calmness filled with murderous intent.

As soon as he finished speaking, Aatrox charged at Zolani once again. He swung his left arm, and a chain of fiery chains burning with grayish-yellow flames flew from his hand, colliding repeatedly with Zolani's chains.

Zolani's body writhed and twisted, her powerful form lashing out at Aatrox with tremendous force.

The next instant, Aatrox and Zoranny collided, and a massive surge of energy exploded, sending Aatrox flying backward once again.

This scene has happened countless times. After absorbing so much nourishment, Zolani's power has far surpassed Aatrox's.

But unlike before, this time Aatrox, who was repelled, did not pause for a moment. He forcibly twisted his flying body and charged at Zolani again and again.

Zuo Chi also unleashed numerous elemental spells, his longsword shrouded in the power of ascension as it relentlessly slashed at Zolani's body.

The entire sky was filled with light of various colors: thunder, fire, ice, snow, rocks, and plants. This ability, which was something to be proud of, was entirely created by Zuo Chi.

Meanwhile, Zuo Chi was always keeping an eye on Zolani's flaws and weaknesses. He knew very well that with Zolani's current strength, it would be too difficult for Aatrox and him to kill her.

To defeat her, you must find the key to victory.

Aatrox's roars continued, but he was met with Zolani's mocking voice in response.

"boom!"

Suddenly, Aatrox was struck hard by Zoranny's tail, and he turned into a streak of light and crashed into the ground below.

Without Aatrox's help, Zuo Chi was also instantly put on the defensive.

As Zolani launched her attack on Zuo Chi, she continuously ravaged his spirit:

"Mortal, offer your body as a sacrifice to me, and I may allow you to be my servant! Rather than be killed by me, become my strength and create a world without war with me."

Zuo Chi's expression remained unchanged. He continued to dodge Zolani's attacks and tried to stab her with the long sword in his hand.

However, faced with Zolani's enormous body that almost completely obscured the sky, Zuo Chi's attacks, which were usually enough to easily defeat demigods, were no longer effective.

However, Zuo Chi did not give up. Just like Aatrox before him, he was repelled time and time again, but then he would rush towards Zolani again.

Gradually, a ripple appeared in Zuo Chi's eyes, because after this period of fighting, he keenly noticed something.

That is, even though Zolani no longer needs to use the curved chainsaw to fight, as her physical body is strong enough, she still protects the curved chainsaw under her body, and even presses it tightly against her body!

Whenever Zuo Chi tries to get close to the curved chainsaw, Zolani will knock him back at top speed.

Noticing this, Zuo Chi felt that he might be able to give it a try. After all, no matter how strong Zolani was, she could never get rid of her identity as a Darkborn. Her soul was still sealed in the weapon, and that weapon was her true self!

If the connection between Zoranny's physical body and her weapon could be severed, would she be sealed away once again?

But how can one get past Zolani's defenses and approach the curved chainsaw?

Just as everyone knows that the weak point of a viper is its vital spot, and the weakness of a fully equipped Draven is its fragility, it is extremely difficult to bypass their terrifying damage and hit their vital points.

Once again, Zuo Chi was sent flying and crashed heavily into a hill, leaving a gruesome bloodstain on his left shoulder!

On the battlefield below, the Darkin heavy shield Jorah desperately tried to shield Tiratu and Naganekia from the attacks, which slowed down their attack frequency as their power was nearly exhausted.

Anaca the Darkin Spear, Tarosh the Darkin Halberd, and Keraast the Red charged into the crowd, constantly fighting with the few Bakas, their bodies already covered in wounds.

With Zolani's replenishment of energy, the scales of victory have quietly tipped.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Zuo Chi planted his long sword in the ground. At the same time, an ancient scroll appeared in his hand. Within the scroll, runic power powerful enough to destroy the world was constantly churning, seemingly trying to break free from the scroll's constraints.

World Rune - Red!

Zuo Chi knew that if he wanted to win this war that affected most of Shurima, and to become the victor, he would have to make some sacrifices.

However, Zuo Chi knew his own situation well. He was very clear that although he could use the power of the World Runes, the side effects that came with it far exceeded what he could bear.

Using relatively little power is fine, but if he wanted to use power strong enough to kill Zolani, he would have to pay a price.

Zuo Chi was even somewhat uncertain whether he would become a spirit like Brand, who only knew how to kill.

But what if I don't do this?

Stick out your neck and let Zolani kill you?

Or will Aatrox and his legion perish on this battlefield?

Taking a gamble might lead to death, but not gambling almost certainly means certain death.

Gradually, the flickering light in Zuo Chi's eyes returned to calm, and he slowly unfurled the magic scroll enveloping the world runes.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, the immense power of the runes shot into the sky like a geyser after being punctured, and the world runes continued to tremble, flashing red light intermittently.

"Ok?"

Zuo Chi raised an eyebrow, equally taken aback by the world rune in his hand.

Having possessed the World Rune for so long, this is the first time I've witnessed such a situation where its power erupts even before it's been activated.

Looking at the World Rune in his hand that kept flashing red light, Zuo Chi felt completely bewildered.

"Could it be that you also sense that I need help?"

Zuo Chi flipped the world runes up and down: "Could it be that you possess sentience?"

World Rune:

After carefully examining the world runes, Zuo Chi gently shook his head.

Holding the World Rune in his left hand, Zuo Chi slowly stood up and once again drew the long sword beside him.

“Aatrox!” Zuo Chi roared.

"Oh!"

The ground somewhere on the battlefield suddenly exploded, and Aatrox flapped his wings and soared into the sky.

He came to Zuo Chi's side and looked at Zuo Chi with a solemn expression.

Zuo Chi winked at him: "Help me get close to Zolani, I'll find a chance to blow her up!"

Aatrox glanced at the World Rune in Zuo Chi's hand, then nodded.

After saying that, the two regrouped and headed straight for Zolani in the sky.

Zolani in the sky looked at the world rune in Zuo Chi's hand, a very obvious disdain flashing in her eyes.

"Mortal, do you think I'm a fool like Aatrox? How could I possibly experience the same failure a second time!"

After almost being killed by Zuo Chi's World Rune last time, Zolani had become very wary of World Runes. Now that she saw it again, she had even thought of how to deal with it.

As long as she prevents the power of the World Runes from entering her body again, she can remain invincible!

Once again, the three most powerful figures on the entire battlefield clashed together.

-

Just as the flames of war in Icathia were spreading throughout Runeterra, a figure followed the scent of war to the edge of the Icathian lands.

He climbed to the highest peak here and stood on the summit, overlooking everything in Icathia.

The figure's skin was a strange blue-purple color, and he carried an ancient scroll on his back. Perhaps due to magical corruption, he had no hair on his head, and his skin was covered with mysterious characters.

He stood there, looking no different from an ordinary person, but a closer look would reveal that his frail body contained a power capable of destroying the world!

Ryze, the Rune Mage!

Beside Ryze, a golden winged messenger stood respectfully and quietly, conveying the information it possessed to the powerful old mage.

The Second Darkin War in Icathia attracted the attention of almost half of Runeterra, and Ryze was naturally drawn to this atmosphere as well. When Ryze arrived in Shurima, he encountered a winged messenger sent by Kayle.

Looking down at the war-torn land and the powerful figures clashing against each other, a deep sense of sorrow welled up in Ryze's eyes.

He already knew what was happening ahead, and that only made the sorrow in his eyes even more intense.

For thousands of years, Ryze has been traveling throughout Runeterra, collecting powerful and forbidden magical artifacts while striving to maintain the fragile order of this world.

He once ventured deep into the dark crevices of the desolate northern lands of Freljord, reclaiming the world rune—Red—from the void creatures there, and he also ventured into the many ancient tombs of Shurima, all in search of the world rune—Green—sealed there.

To protect this world, he witnessed his master Tyrus die before his eyes, the destruction of his homeland, Blessed Isle, and Noxy, the betrayal of his apprentice Brand, and the occurrence of one disaster after another.
