Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

Soraka's voice was gentle, like a mother comforting her child.

"Both of them have caused too much killing and suffering to this world. The reason I lured Brand here was to wear them down together, and finally seal them in the Dream Pool beneath Philol Island."

Hearing Soraka's words, Zuo Chi's suspicions were confirmed.

Brand's appearance on Philore Island and his attack on Syndra were actually orchestrated by Soraka behind the scenes.

Zuo Chi was even certain that Soraka hadn't suddenly appeared behind him; she had always been there, but he hadn't noticed her at all.

“However,” Soraka’s golden eyes looked at Zuo Chi:

“My child, I know you have a better solution in your heart, don’t you?”

Zuo Chi: "."

As they were speaking, a dazzling starlight suddenly shone from the single horn on Soraka's forehead. The starlight shone on Zuo Chi's body, and the starlight on his arms was rapidly spreading up his body!

Soon, Zuo Chi's arms and torso completely transformed into an ascended body constructed from blue-gold dreamlike stars.

"!!"

Seeing the changes in himself, Zuo Chi was completely shocked.

Soraka was actually able to expand that part of his ascended body!

Raising his hands and clenching them slightly, Zuo Chi could clearly feel that his strength had nearly doubled compared to before.

“Go, my child, just follow your heart.” Soraka looked at Syndra, who had been repelled by Brand once again.

“She is really pitiful. If you could save her, who would want to keep her in a deep sleep forever?”

"When you need it, I will communicate with the earth spirit of Philor Island and make the Dream Pool appear before you."

After saying this last sentence, Soraka disappeared from Zuo Chi's sight, and no matter how Zuo Chi tried to sense her, he could no longer pinpoint her location.

After carefully considering Soraka's words, Zuo Chi turned his head to look at the battle between Syndra and Brand in the deep pit.

Having been severely injured by the World Rune, Syndra was now struggling to defend against Brand's attacks.

Not only that, seemingly no longer wanting to enjoy the thrill of slaughter, Brand once again raised the World Rune in his hand!

His voice was manic and hoarse: "Hahaha, die!"

In the center of the battlefield, Syndra leaned against the ruins, surrounded by many dimly lit dark orbs.

Despite her power reaching a level unmatched by most beings, she still appeared somewhat weak when facing the World Rune.

In the distance, the red light in Brand's hand grew even more intense, and Syndra's black eyes were completely filled with the red light.

Gasping for breath, Syndra forced herself to sit up, her long white hair covered in dust and her face deathly pale.

In her previous battle with Karma, she drained all the magical elements from the entire island of Felol. Now, there is not enough energy around her to use, and the magic stored in her body is no match for the world runes.

But she was unwilling to be defeated by Brand like this. She was not afraid of death; she was only afraid of being imprisoned again!

With her hands gripping the ground tightly, sharp pebbles rubbed against each other in Syndra's hands, the subtle pain constantly stimulating her mind.

At a certain moment, the red energy that had been swirling around the world runes solidified completely, and Syndra summoned all the dark orbs around her.

"Buzz!"

The red beam shot out once more, heading straight for Syndra. Syndra gritted her teeth and used the dark orb to block it in front of her.

However, how could the already dim and almost transparent dark orb possibly withstand the attack of the world runes?

Like a bubble punctured by a red-hot stick, the Dark Orb vanished instantly, and the impact of the World Rune reached Syndra.

Just when Syndra thought she would be unable to withstand the attack any longer, she suddenly saw a figure with arms and torso made of blue and gold stars appear in front of her!

Because of the reversed light, Syndra couldn't see the face of the person in front of her clearly, but she could feel the sudden burst of crimson-gold energy emanating from him.

At this moment, the ascension power in Zuo Chi's arm was fully condensed, and his right fist swung out fiercely forward, rushing straight towards the red beam of light.

This was the first time Zuo Chi had ever touched the power of the World Rune, and the very first thing he encountered was the most violent red World Rune!

"Kaka!"

Zuo Chi's arm suddenly shifted backward a few inches, and his feet slid back several meters.

Fortunately, thanks to the earlier neutralization by the dark magic orb, and with his own power, he finally managed to block the attack.

Without hesitation, Zuo Chi turned around instantly, wrapped his arms around Syndra's back and the back of her legs, and carried her away quickly into the distance.

While dodging Brand's attacks, Zuo Chi's eyes scanned his surroundings.

Syndra, nestled in Zuo Chi's arms, looked up blankly at Zuo Chi's profile, completely bewildered.

who is he.

From childhood to adulthood, Syndra had never experienced this unfamiliar feeling before.

After leaping a hundred meters away, Zuo Chi placed Syndra under a boulder, then began rummaging in the pocket at his waist.

Soon, Zuo Chi took out a green gemstone and a strange flower that shimmered with a dreamlike glow.

Zuo Chi pointed to the two items: "This is a life gem formed from the Emperor Willow in the center of the Omicaialan Forest. It can heal your injuries. This is a Dream Flower from the Dream Tree. It can speed up your magic recovery."

Zuo Chi looked up and patted Syndra's head: "Hurry up and recover your strength, I'll need your help later."

After saying this, Zuo Chi didn't linger and headed straight for Brand's location.

Just as Zuo Chi turned and rushed towards Brand, Syndra, who was standing still, froze. She simply held the Life Gem and the Dream Flower in her hand, staring blankly at Zuo Chi's departing figure.

He shouldn't have taken advantage of my weakened state to kill me or seal me away?

Looking down at the Dream Flower in her hand, Syndra's eyes reflected its enchanting light and shadow.

He must be planning to use me before sealing me away! Despicable human!

Slowly raising her head to look at the left pool that was rapidly approaching Brand, Syndra felt as if her mind was in complete chaos.

Even though he simply carried her away from the center of the explosion, countless chaotic thoughts flooded Syndra's mind.

After all, she had never experienced this feeling before.

"boom!"

Ahead, just as Zuo Chi was trying to get closer to Brand, the power originating from the World Rune was unleashed wildly, and Zuo Chi's body was knocked back time and time again, with huge roars constantly ringing out.

Syndra looked at Zuo Chi's slightly disheveled figure and finally gripped the Life Gem and Dream Flower tightly in her hands.

'Why not take it if it's free? So what if I use your things? I won't thank you! Don't think I don't know why you're getting close to me!'

'I was going to kill this man engulfed in flames, not save you!'

Just as Zuo Chi was rushing toward Brand, he casually picked up the Cosmic Star Iron that he had previously placed on the ground.

When he had no other weapons, this piece of cosmic iron was his strongest weapon.

The energy originating from the World Runes kept impacting Zuo Chi. He used the Cosmic Star Iron in his hand to resist these impacts and kept trying to get closer to Brand.

Zuo Chi didn't believe that Brand could have such a powerful physical body as Varus.

Mages and archers are notoriously fragile; once they get close, their threat level drops significantly!

If Zuo Chi wants to suppress the magic turrets in front, he must get to Brand's side.

"Crack!"

Once again, he used the Cosmic Star Iron in his hand to block the impact of the World Rune, and another small piece of the Cosmic Star Iron's outer skin peeled off.

It was during these repeated energy collisions that Zuo Chi's gaze fell upon the World Rune in Brand's hand.

This thing shouldn't recognize a master, which means that anyone who possesses a World Rune can unleash its power.

However, the prerequisite is that you can withstand its powerful impact and its strong temptation to bewitch your mind; otherwise, you may very well become a strange, inhuman spirit like Brand.

"Mortals who stand in my way, die!"

Faced with the sudden appearance of Zuo Chi, Brand frantically waved the World Rune in his hand, unleashing wave after wave of surging energy that rushed straight towards Zuo Chi.

As the outer layer of the cosmic star iron in Zuo Chi's hand was continuously shattered, he gradually approached Brand's vicinity.

Finally, in the brief moment between Brand's two red shockwaves, Zuo Chi's feet shattered the ground, and he arrived in front of Brand at a speed almost like a flash!

Looking at Zuo Chi who had come to stand in front of him, Brand once again raised the World Rune in his hand.

In Brand's view, as long as he wields the World Rune, he is invincible!

But the next second, Brand suddenly saw Zuo Chi's incredibly dangerous smile.

The arm, shrouded in dreamlike starlight, suddenly thrust out, and Zuo Chi's right hand gripped Brand's hand, which was burning with raging flames. In that hand, the red world runes were flashing with a strange light.

"Uh-huh!"

The intense burning caused Zuo Chi to let out a painful growl, but he still did not let go.

Brand quickly looked down at his hand, and at that moment, he saw Zuo Chi's hand grasping the top of the World Rune.

In addition, he also saw a special symbol formed by three beams of light swirling around the World Rune that suddenly flashed on it.

Cluster Blades!

As if half of his power had been plundered, Brand could clearly sense the energy of the World Rune in his hand surging wildly into Zuo Chi's body.

At the same time, Brand saw Zuo Chi's fist, which was completely filled with crimson-gold light, and heard his deep voice.

"This time, it's my turn!"
