I, Folyago, am the most devoted lover in Runeterra.

"Will the empire be completely paralyzed?"

Fryegor's series of questions left Riven completely speechless.

"Now that you understand these issues, I can answer your question."

"Why should I get involved in the chaos of the empire, and why should I acquire the identity of Leon Gures?"

While Riven was filled with confusion, Folger spoke up again.

"The problem is simple: there are interests within the empire that can sway me."

"I got involved in this in order to gain profits."

"In the capacity of an Imperial General."

"And this benefit is something called 'faith'."

Fryego selectively informed Riven of some details.

As soon as he finished speaking, Foygo slowly raised his hand and dispelled the thin layer of black mist around him.

Then, the dark green flames swirling all around, carrying suffocating toxic gases and surging heat waves, came rushing in.

In response, Foygo simply raised his hand slightly, and in an instant, the terrifying, endless wave of flames vanished without a trace.

The fire, which had been spreading outwards along the forest, vanished without a trace.

After doing all this, Foljego looked around.

Within a kilometer radius, everything was burned to a crisp.

The power of this dark green alchemical flame is thus evident.

Then, Fryego turned around again to face Riven.

"And the reason why I want to gain faith is very simple."

"That's because of power!"

"As you can see right now, it is faith that sustains this strength."

Foygo slowly opened his arms and spoke softly to Riven in front of him.

This all-encompassing power truly terrified Riven.

"The relationship between gods and believers is sometimes like a transaction."

"Believers provide faith, while gods are responsible for protecting the safety of believers."

"So the premise for me to gain faith in Noxus is..."

"To bring peace and prosperity to the people of Noxus."

After saying that, Foygo pointed out one more finger lightly.

A light screen formed from black mist began playing images once again.

This time, it was played in the video.

The images show a cult called the Dawn distributing supplies and providing aid to people in the slums of Noxus.

"So our goals don't conflict, do they, Riven?"

"As far as the empire is concerned, I am just General Li Ang."

"The future of the empire does not lie with me."

"I have no desire to control the empire."

Folger looked at Riven with sincere eyes.

"So what do you plan to do...?"

"How do we solve all the problems you've mentioned?"

In the end, Riven seemed to be moved by Fryegor's gaze.

Helpless, Riven could only turn to Fryegor for help.

"Abolish the monarchy! Form a parliament and redistribute power."

"Step by step, strip the Black Rose of its influence within the Empire."

"Find someone who can fight against the Black Rose and support her!"

Folger continued, saying that his words further eroded Riven's defenses.

"I am a god."

"Ultimately, it will become a balance above all parties, a unique binding force."

"This will serve as a sword hanging over their heads, preventing them from abusing their power."

"With the interplay of various forces and my restraint, such a tragedy will never happen again."

"Thus, I gained faith, and the empire gained peace."

Folgo withdrew all the black mist, and after saying everything, he simply stood quietly in front of Riven.

"Riven, come help me."

Then, Foygo slowly extended a hand toward Riven.

..............

For Riven, strategy has never been her strong suit.

In the past, Riven often tried to think of everything on her own, but ultimately failed.

This time, Riven decided to entrust everything to a warrior's instinct—intuition.

But intuition told Riven...

The man before me possesses nothing but sincerity!

At the same time, perhaps it's also because Riven harbors some inexplicable feelings.

............

Finally, Riven reached out and slowly took Fryegor's hand.

"Please give me your guidance, General Li Ang."

Riven's words brought a smile to Fryegor's face.

"Now, I think you won't reject this power, right?"

A pale power emanated from Folgo and instantly permeated Riven's entire body.

Riven did not resist this force in the slightest.

The powerful destructive force caused Riven's originally listless aura to rise steadily until it reached its peak, after which she entered a new realm.

"boom!!!"

The bottleneck that had plagued Riven for so long was suddenly shattered.

　(Okay) This pale power enveloped Riven's entire body, and it wasn't long before it withdrew from this state.

Ruined Legion - Riven!

Riven felt this newfound power, and her fighting spirit grew even stronger.

Back on the Eastern Front, Folger had asked Riven if she wanted to be granted the power of Ruin.

However, Riven refused, and at that moment, Fryegor finally bestowed this power upon her.

"Hey, now."

"Let's begin the first step in dismantling the Black Rose."

Fryegor took Riven's hand and lifted her into the air.

................

Under the scorching heat of the alchemical flames, all 80,000 Galin people, along with 2,000 Imperial soldiers, were killed or wounded.

The soul power of these deceased was refined into a crystal ball by the waiting magicians using a magic circle.

But suddenly, the group of magicians realized that something was wrong.

—The alchemical flames that should have been burning brightly suddenly went out for some unknown reason!

Based on the trend of the flames, they were bound to spread throughout the entire forest and kill people sooner or later.

The sudden extinguishing seemed incredibly abrupt.

The magicians looked at each other, but ultimately didn't take it to heart.

In this respect, Dukur did not share information with the magicians.

The mages simply assumed that the dark green flames had "taken effect."
