Legends of Runeterra

Thirty kilometers west of Presidio, at the end of a road built along the mountain, there is a tree with lush branches and leaves, reaching a height of a hundred meters, and pink petals gently fall in the wind.

This is the sacred tree of the Blossoming Spirit. In the traditional culture of the Ionian people, this tree is the mother tree of all the Blossoming Spirit trees.

In previous years, during the Spirit Blossom Festival, Ionians would gather here early to worship.

It's just that due to the invasion of Noxus, at this moment there is nothing else except the gentle breeze.

In the spiritual realm, the Holy Spirit Tree is still blooming quietly.

However, here, a thick, dark fog that flickered with a faint green light and danced like fireworks enveloped the entire sacred tree.

About four-fifths of the branches and leaves of the lush tree crown have disappeared at this moment, and the thick trunk is covered with black marks like burns.

The falling pink petals were all burned up by the black mist like fireworks.

An unusually tall figure emerged from the swirling and burning black fog.

His entire body was covered in golden armor, with spikes on his shoulder armor and helmet shooting up into the sky. His scarlet cloak fluttered slowly behind him in the burning, swirling black mist.

“Da~da~da~!”

Faint footsteps could be heard from the distant bluestone stairs. The blazing black fog seemed to be affected by some force. No matter how it churned, it was still slowly pushed to the sides, forming a straight path.

"Boom~!"

The unusually tall figure slowly turned around, and under the helmet, a pair of eyes burning with red light looked at the person who came.

He has black hair and black eyes. Apart from his outstanding appearance, he looks like a gentle and calm man.

"Ok?"

The unexpected arrival caused an unexpected sound to be heard from under the helmet.

Facing the other person's red eyes, Li En showed a faint smile.

"Are you surprised? Modkaiser."

"Heh! I know you, Lee En Reyes, one of the means the betrayer is trying to cultivate against me."

"Haha~! It seems you're not completely trapped in the underworld, and you're also very clear about the Immortal Fortress."

"What else? Noxus is already in my hands."

Modkaiser turned around completely, and his height of over five meters made him look down at Li En with his head slightly lowered.

"Now, before I crush your soul, tell me, how did you find yourself here?"

“So, is this difficult?

The so-called 'Cult of the Reborn' is an obvious cover, and the Lord of Life and Death who was resurrected before the two armies is indeed very powerful, but since you have appeared here, He is undoubtedly just a puppet.

The one who comes under this sacred tree is the real you, Mordekaiser, or rather, Tharn Uzul."

"Pah pah pah~!"

“Yes, it’s really rare that Leblanc can actually cultivate such a talent.

So...Lean Reyes, why don't you guess why I'm here?"

"Why did you come here..."

As Li En spoke, his eyes were fixed on Modkaiser's exposed arms, covered with flesh and skin, no different from those of an ordinary person.

"That's pretty clear, isn't it?

Steal the ambiguous authority of 'life and death' from the Holy Spirit Blossoming Tree and achieve true resurrection."

“Hehehahahaha~~!!!”

A deep, roaring laugh resounded, and the already blazing black mist churned even more violently as Modkaiser laughed.

The pair of eyes composed of crimson light under the ferocious golden helmet suddenly lit up at this moment.

“It’s so…delightful!

Kneel down, Lee En Reyes, and I will grant you entry into the Hall of Bones!"

"Oh! Really?"

"Boom~~!!!"

Golden-red flames and scarlet lightning exploded simultaneously, and a fist entangled with these two forces instantly appeared in front of Modkaiser.

“Boom~~!!!”

Modkaiser turned into a meteor and directly penetrated the mountains behind him.

"Heh! I'm waiting for Mr. Ivern to rescue the Blooming Spirit Tree Spirit. What are you waiting for?"

Li En casually shook his hand to dispel the black mist attached to the back of his hand, then turned to look at the dilapidated and withered Blooming Spirit Tree.

"Om~!"

Emerald green light rose from the tree roots, maintaining the descending breath of the Blooming Spirit Tree Spirit.

"Mr. Ion, what's the situation?"

"Well, I lost some of my essence, but overall there's no problem."

"Om~!"

As Ivern finished speaking, the emerald green light became more and more dazzling, and in less than a breath of time, it formed an emerald green shield that completely enveloped the Holy Spirit Tree.

“BOOM~~!!”

The dark green tore through the mountains, and light shot up into the sky.

“Boom~Boom~Boom~!”

Accompanied by a heavy roar, Modkaiser stepped out from the crumbling mountain.

Ever since he initially cooperated with Leblanc in being sent back to the underworld, he had no intention of resurrecting in Noxus.

In just Noxus, there is no one he cannot defeat.

Only Ionia, the source of Runeterra's magic, has the authority to truly resurrect Him.

Although the thousand-year plan was slightly interrupted at this moment, Modkaiser had already obtained what he needed.

“Boom boom! Boom boom!”

A powerful heartbeat, like the beating of a drum before a battle, resounded in Modkaiser's chest.

"Om~!"

A crimson light that was no less luminous than the green light suddenly rose up along with Modkaiser's fluttering cloak.

Crimson and green, life and death, at this moment, intertwined and merged on Modkaiser's immortal body that was over five meters tall.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

The golden armor spread and grew on Modkaiser's right arm.

"From the ashes, I built the kingdom of the afterlife.

No one, no god, can stop me from taking back what is mine!"

"Lean Reyes, kneel now and greet the Immortal Lord of Life and Death!!"

"Boom~~!!"

Meteors intertwined with red and gold tore through the earth, and a fist entangled with flames and lightning gave Li En the answer.

"Delaying destiny is futile!"

Red flames exploded on the golden and ferocious hammer Nightfall. Facing the destructive hammer swung by Modkaiser, Li En did not dodge or evade.

“Boom~~!!”

At this moment, the sky and the earth were divided by an extremely clear line centered on the collision between the two.

This massive change caused the veil between the material and spiritual realms to begin to distort.

People far away in Presidio also vaguely sensed this change.

"Leen!"

Syndra frowned slightly and looked towards the west, but the plan that Li En had arranged long ago emerged in her mind. The next moment, Syndra controlled two huge mountains and crushed the endless army of undead more and more violently.

On the other side, the emerald psychic energy, the roaring dragon power, and the mysterious Ain Ina suppressed the endless power of the undead.
