LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

"How, how could..." Master Kushuo's eyes were about to burst.

He never expected that the plain-looking black-skinned catfish would be so terrifying.

Seven masters were crushed by Tam alone, the Shadow Stream cultists rebelled, and the Brotherhood killers were defeated by the Kinkou, Shadow Stream, and Vastayan families and were unable to resist.

It was originally a trap set for Irelia, but now it became his death place.

Master Kushuo was so desperate that he even lost his last will to fight.

The opposite is:

Irelia has regained herself, completely getting rid of hesitation and confusion.

"Ionia, be high-spirited and everlasting!" The girl silently chanted this slogan that inspired her to fight to this day.

The powerful power bestowed upon this lucky person by the soul of Ionia poured out from her seemingly frail body like an unstoppable invisible torrent at this moment.

Dozens of blades suspended around her trembled violently in this invisible torrent, and slowly poked forward from behind her like arrows waiting to be fired.

Finally, Irelia thought: "Vanguard Blade!"

In an instant, cold light flashed and the sharp blade cut through the air. Dozens of blades tore through the air and emitted a piercing scream, and their speed surpassed the sound wave in an instant. Before the scream reached Master Kushuo's ears, it penetrated his bloated and twisted shadow body.

"Ah!" Master Kushuo let out a cry of pain.

The rain of blades flashing with dazzling white light instantly penetrated his shadow-surging chest and pierced out from his back.

This fatal blow to ordinary people could not kill the master of Kushuo who has now fallen like an evil spirit.

But this is just the beginning.

After the dozens of sword blades passed through the chest, they were not scattered on the ground.

They were like the psychic flying swords of the legendary Sword Fairy. They flexibly changed their flight trajectories according to Irelia's will, and scattered in an instant, turning into a suspended sky that surrounded Master Kushuo. Sword array.

And this moment: "Blade Impact!"

Irelia seemed to be transformed into a flying sword, flying into the air at a speed as fast as lightning, and finally broke through the air and rushed into the blade.

There was a flash of cold light, and the two of them passed each other.

"ah!

! "Master Kushuo's left arm fell down in response, and the turbulent shadows around him also dispersed a lot.

He wanted to fight back with red eyes.

But it's all in vain.

Irelia can easily suppress it alone, not to mention that she has Zed, Shen, Yi, Yone and Yasuo by her side.

There is no suspense in this battle, only a one-sided crushing.

So, not long after...

The Brotherhood killers died and surrendered.

Six of the seven masters have "disappeared out of thin air", leaving only Qingxia who was injured on the ground after being rejected by Tam.

Master Kushuo has also been defeated miserably at the hands of Irelia and others. His giant-sized shadow body had now become thin and shriveled as the dark power dissipated.

He just fell to the ground helplessly, waiting for his imminent death.

"Father." Shen stood in front of Ku Shuo with his sword raised, his eyes looking very complicated.

"Master." Jie looked at him deeply, with an expression of infinite emotion.

Irelia did not kill Kushu directly. She wisely left the final blow to the master of Kushuo to the two brothers. It's up to them whether to kill or not.

But Jie and Shen were still unable to give an answer.

The air is a bit oppressive.

Until Tam came over holding his round belly and burping.

Perhaps he had already eaten to his heart's content, but Tam didn't look impatient.

He pointed politely and asked, "Hey, can I eat this?"

Shen and Jie: "......"

"No!" The dark fog lingered in Tong Kong, the master of bitter talk, and his expression was twisted with fear.

Seeing Tam's bloody mouth close to Chi Chi, he begged in panic: "Shen, my child, do you really want to feed this monster your father?"

"It doesn't matter, I don't have to eat you." Tam interrupted him.

He said to Shen and Jie quite thoughtfully: "Anyway, what I really like to eat is the soul. I can leave my body to you and build a tomb or something."

Shen and Jie: "..."

"Shen! Tribulation!" Master Kushuo struggled and said, "I am your father, your master..."

"Father." Shen sighed deeply: "This is the last time I call you father."

He looked at the shadow energy that had not yet dissipated in Master Kushuo's eyes, looked at his hysterical and fearful attitude, and was finally completely disappointed: "My father is the guardian of balance, and you... are just the shadow. Just a slave."

"No! No!" Master Kushuo went crazy: "I didn't... I'm not! I didn't betray Kou Yi! Everything I did was for Kou Yi and for Ionia!"

"Really?" Tam came over with a ferocious smile.

It tapped Ku Shui's forehead with the tip of its tongue and said, "Your soul is now in front of me without any defense."

"Tsk tsk..." Tam smacked his tongue and tasted it carefully: "You are really incredible, Ku said. I am afraid that the 'little snacks' I have eaten in the past ten thousand years are not as many as the ones you have killed in the past two years." There are so many!”

This is not an exaggeration. Tam cares about the quality of his meals rather than the quantity, and when he encounters prey, he also likes to spend a lot of time cultivating it. After all the picking and fussing, I couldn’t eat much all year round.

If we really talk about "cannibalism", any alchemist baron in Zaun would be better at "cannibalism" than this ancient demon.

As the leader of the infamous Navoli Brotherhood, Master Kushuo is one of the leading warlords in Ionia, and he is obviously no less capable of "cannibalism".

"Kusui, you have thought about it-"

"Do you want me to be here to tell your son, your fellow disciples, and your younger disciples, what exactly have you, the respected leader of Balance, the Eye of Twilight, done in the past two years?"

"I..." Master Kushuo's voice choked.

Tam's move, which was comparable to "publicizing web browsing history", actually scared away the dark fog that shrouded his eyes.

"Leave some dignity for yourself, and leave some dignity for the Kinkou Sect." Kennan sighed and walked over: "Ku said it."

Kenan looked at Akali, and the young people from the Kinkou sect who were present like Akali.

"The children are all here." Kennan advised: "Kushi, don't forget, you are still their teacher."

Master Kushuo was silent for a while, and finally stopped struggling.

The black fog in his eyes gradually dissipated, and tears quietly soaked his eyes.

"Master Shen?" Tam looked at Shen tentatively, waiting for his final answer.

Finally, Shen spoke: "The soul corroded by the shadow will turn into an evil spirit after death."

His answer is self-evident.

The best destination for evil spirits is to die under the soul blade of the Eye of Twilight;

Or, before this corrupted soul becomes an evil spirit, it will be swallowed by Tam.

"If you seek balance, you should take necessary actions... Therefore, you should assess the situation and sacrifice one thing to save others."

Shen silently recited the "Ring of the Balance" that his father taught him word by word when he was a child, and resisted not reading Ku Shuo again.

Jie, Kenan, Mei Mu, Akali, and other members of the Kung Fu Cult all looked at Master Kushuo with complicated eyes as they bid farewell to the former Kung Fu leader.

Finally, Tam stuck out his tongue.

The tip of his tongue gently passed over Ku Shuo's forehead, and like the seductive rope of the messenger from hell, it swept away Ku Shuo's twisted and fallen soul.

Kushuo's soul was finally annihilated silently in Tam's huge mouth.

And his physical body slowly closed its eyes and died peacefully.

The king's hegemony is filled with bones. At this moment, there is only one echo:

"Hiccup~"

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

Ku said he died, the Brotherhood killer was defeated, and six masters including Ravi were also killed.

There is only one person left on the Brotherhood side that has not yet been solved, Qingxia.

Master Qingxia was injured by Tam before, but now he had recovered some of his energy and staggered up from the ground.

Seeing Kushuo's death, he sighed softly and took the initiative to walk towards Tam.

"What do you want to do?" Tam looked at him warily: "Bald head, do you want to fight again?"

"No." Master Qingxia replied calmly: "I just came to seek death."

"Go, go, go!" Tam avoided him in disgust: "If you want to die, find someone else, you'll be so miserable!"

Master Qingxia was left aside by Tam, while Jie, Yi and others knew that this guy was in a special situation and was not a greedy and depraved person, so they were unwilling to kill him.

Everyone looked at Irelia.

Master Qingxia is her subordinate. How to deal with this traitor of the resistance depends on Irelia's wishes.

"I..." Irelia hesitated again.

"Don't hesitate." Master Qingxia taught her in turn: "Irelia, you are the leader, do what you should do."

"I fought for what I believed in. I have no regrets and no need for mercy."

Irelia remained silent.

But this disappointed Master Qingxia: "You are still so indecisive, Irelia!"

"A naive and indecisive person like you cannot be a leader." Master Qingxia seemed to be bent on death. He cursed: "The so-called leader is someone who can make the right decision in the face of opposition."

"Whether you insist on returning to tradition or take any other path, you will always have opponents. If you can't bear to kill traitors, how can you continue on this path?!"

"You are right, Master Qingxia!" Irelia suddenly replied solemnly, as if she had made up her mind: "I am not a qualified leader - that is why I need your help!"

"You..." Master Qingxia was stunned at first: "You still want me to live?"

"Yes!" Irelia nodded solemnly: "I not only want you to live, but I also want you to continue to be my assistant."

"But I have betrayed you, Irelia." Qingxia reminded.

"Even so, I still need you." Irelia gritted her teeth: "Because apart from you, I can't find any other comrades in the resistance."

In addition to the six masters including Master Qingxia, Gale Sect, and Ravi, there are 24 masters from different sects and families at the top of the resistance army.

They did not betray Irelia, they were not traitors.

But although they were not traitors, they were no longer her comrades-in-arms.

The masters only want to build the Resistance into the second Brotherhood and Ionia into the second Noxus. No one wants to follow Irelia to continue their dream.

"But I'm not your comrade-in-arms." Qingxia said, "I don't agree with your philosophy. Even if you forgive me for my betrayal, I can't help you pursue your unrealistic ideals."

"I know!" Irelia's eyes were firm.

She said: "I have understood that returning to tradition will not work. So now I want to try a new path."

Saying that, Irelia looked at Master Yi and the leaders present:

"Most of the senior masters of the resistance army will not walk with me on this path."

"I'm afraid the only one willing to accompany me on this journey is you, Master Qingxia."

"I..." Master Qingxia looked complicated.

He also looked at the leaders present and said, "Their path is not easy to follow."

Irelia's mere attempt to return to tradition has caused much dissatisfaction within the Resistance;

If she wants to learn how to be a leader in Ionia, then the masters may not only be dissatisfied, but may rebel.

"So what?" Irelia stretched out her hand to him: "Master Qingxia, you also said that the path of the leader is just 'difficult', not impossible."

Yes, in fact, after listening to the debate between Ku Shuo and the leader, Master Qingxia has already realized:

With the support of the masses, the blessing of the goddess, and the unity of faith, the path of the leader may not be impassable.

"If they object, let them object!" Irelia figured it out: "Just like what you said, Master Qingxia..."

There was no trace of confusion in her eyes anymore: "The so-called leader is someone who can make the right decision in the face of opposition."

"If they don't follow me, I will follow the leader!"

"This..." Master Qingxia looked surprised.

He didn't seem to expect that he could see such a resolute and determined side in this innocent girl.

Qingxia thought for a long time and finally smiled happily: "You have finally grown up, Irelia."

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

Here, Master Qingxia promised to make meritorious service, continue to assist Irelia, and try a new path.

On the other hand, Luo also yearned for the leader's faith.

Not long after the battle ended, he took out his copy of "A Brief Introduction to Janna's Thoughts" from his pocket, and like a newcomer attending a fan meeting, he walked towards the leaders full of longing.

"Wait, don't get too close!" Xia stopped him at the last moment.

"What's wrong, dear?" Luo was still a little confused.

Didn't Xia support him in contacting the leader before? Why didn't she even say a word now?

"Luo, haven't you noticed yet?" Xia guarded Luo vigilantly, staring at Tam: "This fat catfish is clearly a demon!"

He is powerful, has an evil aura, and eats human souls. Moreover, Tam just revealed in his words that he has lived for at least 10,000 years.

This is clearly a demon, and a terrifying ancient demon!

Ordinary people staying with this creature are like mice and cats sharing a cage.

Even though Tam didn't show any ill will towards them, Xayah instinctively felt scared and uncomfortable.

"Luo, don't worry about the leader..." Xia pulled her boyfriend and wanted to run away: "The leader can hang out with such an ancient demon, I'm afraid he is not a good person!"

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Before the leaders could even open their mouths to defend themselves, Tam started to curse.

He rudely blocked Xia and Luo's path, pointed at Xia's nose and asked:

"Explain to me why I'm not a good person?"

"Huh?" Xia was slightly startled.

Does this horse riding need an explanation? Of course it's because...

"Because I'm a devil?" Tam seemed to have captured some key words, and activated the burst mode with his mouth like a submachine gun.

"Can't a devil be a good person? I have such a good attitude towards you, why do you feel in danger?"

"Little girl, this is a very bad racial stereotype!"

"Demons are also intelligent life forms. We may have different races, different skin colors, different cultures, different habits, and different recipes, but our souls and wisdom are the same. I can choose whether to be a good person or not, and whether to do good deeds or not, I can choose for myself."

"What we leaders value is equality for all and the unity of all intelligent beings. If you blatantly engage in racial discrimination, you will be punished by us!"

Xia, Luo: "..."

Like Yasuo before, they were completely stunned by Tahm's combo.

Unlike Yasuo, as Vastayans who have always been discriminated against by humans, they feel more subtle about this accusation.

It used to be Kasumi and Rakan, angrily accusing humans of discriminating against them.

Well now, a catfish is accusing them of discriminating against demons?

"This..." Luo looked at Master Yi and others in shock: "All of you leaders are equal, including demons?"

"Uh..." In fact, Master Yi also felt that something was not right about this.

But the goddess Janna has said that she must unite all intelligent life in Runeterra... The life of the devil is also life, isn't it?

"Yes." Master Yi replied: "As long as the devil is willing to coexist peacefully with everyone, then he is a 'human' like us."

"What about the Vastayans?" Luo asked.

"Of course it's the same." Master Yi said: "In the Wind Leader, all intelligent life forms have equal status."

In fact, the Twin Cities had stopped engaging in racial discrimination long before the arrival of the Leader.

After all, most of the populations of Zaun and Piltover come from immigrants. These foreign immigrants come from all over the world, from various countries and different races. It can be said that they come from all races and species.

If discrimination is based on blood and race, then the people of the Twin Cities will have to discriminate against themselves.

So there is no racism in the Twin Cities.

They only discriminated against Zaun people and outsiders - in the final analysis, they discriminated against poverty, not blood.

After the arrival of the leader, the Twin Cities version evolved from racial equality and gender equality to equality for everyone.

It's just that the game version of Ionia is too backward, so there is such racial discrimination based on blood.

"Did you see it, Xia?" Luo smiled and looked at his girlfriend excitedly: "In the land of the Wind Leader, even demons can coexist equally with humans."

"The equality we Vastayans pursue may be achieved through these leaders..."

"No!" Xia was not as naive and romantic as Luo.

She doesn't believe such stories about the equality of all people transcending race, the great unity of all intelligent beings... She doesn't believe this kind of story to deceive children!

"Humans have lied to us so many times, how can you still believe them?"

"Ha, I see..." Xia's eyes swept over all the humans present with great distrust: "They just need us to help them deal with the Noxians before they come to talk about unity and friendship."

"When the Noxians are defeated and need a 'new enemy', it will be our Vastayan's turn to 'sacrifice'!"

Although Xia has not read the "Brief Introduction", she does not know the relevant theories summarized by Li Wei about the reactionary ruling class using racial oppression to divert internal conflicts.

But even without theory, humans in Ionia have been operating in this way for nearly ten thousand years.

As long as there are too many people and there is not enough land, humans will come and beat up the vastayas and grab a few pieces of land to take away.

Fortunately, there is indirect protection from the Way of Balance, which allows the Ionians to only dare to encroach on a small scale and not dare to launch a large-scale war...

Otherwise, the Vastayan people might not be able to survive these long ten thousand years, and would have been wiped out by greedy and evil humans.

"How can you still dare to trust such a human being?" Xia asked Luo: "We Vastayans are born to look different from humans, and our overall strength is weaker than humans."

"If they say they don't discriminate, then they really don't discriminate against you?"

Kasumi's concerns are correct.

When conflicts accumulate to the point where they need to find a place to vent, "different" and "weak" are enough to become a reason for the extinction of a race.

What's more, vastayas are so different and weak compared to humans.

"You are worrying too much, Leader Xia!" At this time, Master Yi stood up.

He firmly said: What unites the leaders is faith, not blood, race and other external identities. "

"We never rely on differences in appearance to distinguish you from me."

"Whether you have wings or a fox tail, as long as you have the same beliefs as us, you will be our most trusted comrade."

"Faith?" Xia dismissed it: "What is placed in the mind, can it be more intuitive and obvious than something that grows on the body, giving people a greater sense of belonging?"

"Of course!" Master Yi nodded: "Because our faith is visible and tangible."

As he said that, he secretly used magic.

I saw the breeze blowing, and the thread of faith of everyone present was revealed.

Whether it is Yi who was born in Wuji, or Jie from the Shadow Stream Sect, or Akali from the Kinkou Sect... these people with different origins and identities all show their common thread of faith.

"Is this?" Xia was still a little hesitant.

"This is our belief, the only identity of the leader." Yi said.

Beliefs that can be embodied?

"This..." Xia Wei opened her mouth. She immediately realized what this meant.

But...is this true? Could the scene she saw be a play performed by the leader?

After all, it's just a line. Such a small trick can be restored by any mage.

Xia is not a leader either. She can't tell whether the thread of faith in front of her is Janna's divine magic or human magic.

She was thinking about it.

But her good boyfriend Luo suddenly patted her shoulder excitedly as if he had discovered some treasure:

"Honey, look-"

"I have one too!"
