Legends of Runeterra

"Hoo~!"

The darkin power that rose up like a blazing fire was retracted even faster than it appeared.

"Haha! Very good."

Li En released Stellatu's chin and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Although you keep calling me 'monster, monster', since you are willing to put away your power, I believe you have also realized that I am not a being that descended from the void or infected by the void.

The power of the void is just a force to me."

The scarlet eyes no longer covered the madness that was used to conceal it, and Stellatu looked at Li En in disbelief.

"How...how on earth did you do that!?"

"Want to know?"

"...Um!"

Facing Stellatu's gaze, Li En raised his right hand.

"Om~!"

The dreamlike power, which sparkled with incredible light like the stars, lingered around Li En's index finger and rose lightly.

"This is!?"

As Stellatu, who had personally been baptized and sublimated by the power of ascension under the sun disk, he only felt that his soul, which had been corroded and riddled with holes by the void, was instinctively screaming and wanting to plunder and devour this power.

"Wow~!"

“Swish~!”

The chains tightened and red lightning exploded.

"Ahhhhhh~!!!"

After another round of electrotherapy, Li En looked at Stella who was kneeling on the ground powerlessly.

"How is it? Have you regained your sanity?"

Facing Li En's calm eyes, Stellatu subconsciously searched for the previous dream energy, but the other party's right hand had already been put down, and the light at the fingertips had disappeared.

Stellatu slowly regained his sanity, recalled the previous light, and immediately realized the difference between the dream energy and the ascension power he had longed for.

However, this made Stellatu even more unbelievable.

"How... How is it possible? This kind of power... seems to be incomparable even to the power of ascension..."

Looking at Stellatu's constantly changing expression, Li En's mouth corners rose silently.

The glory of being an ascended god is a memory that any ascender who falls into the dark race will miss very much.

Now that he has demonstrated an even more transcendent "power of star creation", Stellatu can't help but lose his composure.

"How about it, now you know why I can control the 'Power of the Void'?"

"What kind of power is that?!"

Stellatu looked directly at Li En.

"Haha~! Sorry, no comment."

"you..."

The tyrannical nature of the Darkin surged up instantly, but was forcibly suppressed by Stellatu in an instant.

"What...what did you want to talk to me about?"

"Haha~! Very good, then answer my previous question."

"..."

Staring at Li En who sat back on the sofa, Stellatu spoke slowly after a brief silence.

...

After listening to Stellatu's story, Li En stood up and walked to him.

"Very good, since you are so cooperative, I am willing to take the lead in showing some sincerity, the kind that requires no reward~!"

"What is sincerity..."

"Pfft~!"

The left hand covered with amethyst penetrated into Stellatu's chest, and the next moment, [Blood-sucking and Disdainful Gaze] was activated.

"Buzz~~!"

The power of the void invaded Stellatu's body fiercely and domineeringly, and suddenly entangled the "blessing" of becoming an ascended being that she was proud of.

"Wait! No! Don't!!!"

"Pfft~!"

Amid Stellatu's pleading cries, Li En pulled his hand away.

The gorgeous void armor was not stained with any trace of the darkin's sticky blood.

If Stellatu's chest had not been slowly healing, the scene just now would have seemed like an illusion.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just giving you a little help."

"..."

Stellato didn't say anything. The method that Li En just displayed made this Darkin feel the breath of death for the first time in a long time.

But as the one who survived the Darkin War to the end, Stellatu quickly adjusted his mood.

"Feel it carefully and see if the noisy sound caused by the erosion of the void has dissipated a lot."

"You...how did you..."

Looking at the familiar smile on Li En's lips, Stellatu interrupted his answer which seemed to be a knowing question.

Although they hated the power of the void extremely, Stellatu and other dark descendants did not deny its strength and terror.

Although they were both encountering the power of the void, Li En was able to drive this power at will. Stellatu couldn't suppress the endless jealousy in his heart.

'Perhaps the mortals in the past looked at us with this mentality...'

In a trance, Stellatu suddenly felt a sense of resonance with the mortal who was looking up at his great figure in his memory.

"Hoo~!"

The Darkin, who didn't need to breathe, took a breath like an ordinary person.

"Li En, is there anything you need me to do?"

The arrogant and tyrannical Darkin lowered himself on his own initiative in front of Janna's surprised gaze.

"Haha~! I have to say, Stellatu, you made a wise choice."

...

"Wow~!"

The azure ocean was rolling up white waves, and Li En and Janna, who were floating in the air, opened their eyes at the same time.

"Take it, Janna. Leave the Stellatu with you first. If a troublesome enemy comes to the Twin Cities, throw it in their face."

"Why...why don't you take him with you, Li En? This Darkin can always help you.

I've been in the Twin Cities forever, so I won't get into any big trouble!"

Looking at the Darkin harp handed to her by Li En, with a circle of inconspicuous lavender chain patterns wrapped around the main body, Janna's face showed some hesitation.

Even though in the tender time after intimacy, Li En used light words to describe what happened during the time he was away, but Janna knew how heavy the "Demon of Fear" was.

“Although your faith has been restored a lot now, Janna, you are not a god who is good at fighting after all.

With Stellatu, I can also feel at ease, okay?"

"Well... okay, I'll take it, but if you need it, you must tell me~!"

"Of course, when have I ever been polite to you?"

Facing Li En's smiling gaze, a blush quietly appeared on Janna's face.

After taking the harp, Janna looked at the Darkin weapon, whose brutal and bloodthirsty aura had dissipated a lot after Li En used his power on it, and thought for a while.

"Hoo~!"

The azure divine power, which was not strong but extremely magical, gently brushed over the Darkin Harp.

After dozens of seconds, the jagged part disappeared and the dark red color turned into a gentle sky blue.

"Does it look good, Li En?"

"Well, it's beautiful!"

"Haha~!"

Accompanied by pleasant laughter, the gentle breeze carried the two of them away into the air in the blink of an eye.

...

Stellatu didn't care at all that his original image was slightly modified by the power of the gods.

They have all temporarily joined Li En's team, so this matter is insignificant.

Floating in the dark and silent space, but with countless purple chains, Stellatu lowered his eyes.

In Li En, she saw the possibilities that all the Darkspawn had hidden in their hearts but dared not hope for.

'General, I will definitely restore your former glory!'
