Legends of Runeterra

"The next step is..."

“Boom~~!!!”

A deafening roar resounded throughout the world. Li En looked up and saw blazing flames and blue thunder illuminating the entire sky. In a higher dimensional vision, two huge figures appeared in Li En's eyes.

"Alas! There is no peace anymore."

In a flash, Li En changed into a new set of clothes and stepped through the barrier of the material world to rush over.

As for Ashe and the others, they are protected by the barrier, so they can only wait a little longer.

...

“Hula~!!”

"Boom~!!"

The blazing flames and thunder each occupy half of the entire world, but if you look closely, at the junction of the two, the blazing flames are eroding the territory of thunder at a slow but unstoppable speed.

"Om~!"

The space fluctuated slightly, and the third breath appeared in this world of confrontation between thunder and fire.

The two mountain-like figures facing each other across dozens of kilometers turned their heads to look.

Although Ornn didn't say anything and just stared at Li En quietly, Li En had already roughly guessed why the other party came here.

"Hmph~!"

Staring at Li En's white hair and ice-blue eyes, Volibear's deep laughter, like thunder that made the atmosphere tremble slightly, rang out.

"Li En, you finally chose to accept my gift!"

"'Accept the gift'? You think too much, Volibear. I just turned the 'essence' you left behind into my own nourishment."

Li En said this, and lifted his hair in a more natural way than Ezreal's deliberate showiness.

“As for this, it’s just a temporary thing.

But I still want to thank you for letting me realize and gain a new power through this 'origin'."

"Hoo~! No one... can treat my 'gift' so lightly!"

"Boom~!"

Along with Volibear's low roar, thunder rolled above the clouds and the earth, and dazzling lightning covered His mountain-like body.

"Boom~!"

Ornn took a step forward, and his huge figure passed Li En and came to the front. He said nothing, but his eyes like red light were fixed on Volibear in the distance.

Li En, hanging next to Ornn's head, smiled at Volibear in the distance.

"I took the remains of the Void Watcher from your body. Your strength should have recovered a lot by now. Do you want to fight again?"

"Ha~! Valhal never refuses a challenge!"

Volibear's eyes swept across Li En and fell on Ornn standing in front of him. A complex look flashed across his eyes, which were surging with thunder.

"Aoun, I have already chosen Li En. There is no room for you to interfere between him and me!"

"No, the mark of 'Wind' flashes on his body. You are not the first god to choose Li En."

"Hoo~! What kind of god is that weak being? How can he be compared to me!"

"Li En believes in Him!"

"..."

Ornn's calm words silenced Volibear for a long time. The two gods just stared at each other.

"Forget it. Since we can't fight today, in exchange for helping you solve the erosion of the 'Void', can you tell me how you encountered them?"

"Humph! Li En, what reason do you think I have to tell you?"

"Are you so scared that you dare not even reveal the news of the 'Watcher', the wild and powerful Valhal?"

'The wild and powerful Valhal?'

Volibear bared his teeth and was stunned for less than a ten-thousandth of a second. Although it was just a casual name from Li En, a sense of joy inexplicably emerged in his heart.

It’s not that he has not been worshipped by humans. Whether in ancient times or now, Volibear has always been worshipped by creatures in Freljord.

Most of those ferocious and brutal "lost ones" worship Volibear very much, actively seek his power and voluntarily transform themselves into a god-like appearance.

But unlike those meaningless and weak mortal creatures who cannot even control the thunder he exhaled, the power that Li En possesses is recognized even by him.

The moment Li En arrived, Volibear felt that in just a blink of an eye, a new, extremely ferocious and domineering power appeared in Li En's body.

Coupled with Li En's wanton and domineering attitude when fighting, Volibear has long wanted to conquer this "human" and turn him into his own follower.

"Ha! I'm afraid of those bugs?"

Volibear raised his chin slightly, and a hint of human disdain appeared on his snow-white haired face.

"They are in the Howling Abyss. I personally seriously injured a 'Watcher' who extended its tentacles into this world!"

"'Howling Abyss', why did you suddenly go to that place?"

Facing Li En's questioning, a trace of anger and murderous intent flashed across Volibear's face.

"Hoo~! This has nothing to do with you!"

"Well, thank you for your answer, the wild and powerful Valhal."

"Hmph! Get ready, Li En. You will eventually become my 'dependent'!"

"Haha~! Then you'd better recover all your strength quickly, otherwise, you will find that your strength was closest to mine when you fought me!"

"Hahaha~! Arrogant!"

“Boom~!!!”

The lightning bolt which was over a hundred meters thick came crashing down, but Ornn raised his hand to block it all.

Ornn casually shook his smoking palm. In the perception of one man and one god, Volibear had already left. Ornn turned his head to look at Li En who was floating beside him.

"Thank you, Mr. Orne, for making you make such a special trip."

"No, you're helping me."

"Okay, there is something I want to ask you for help. The 'big jar' has been melted, and the runes inside have been taken away by Mr. Ryze for safekeeping. My friend's tribe is waiting for the hot soup in the 'big jar' to help them survive the cold winter.

If possible, could you please create another similar creation to help her tribe survive this winter?"

Listening to Li En's request, Aoun nodded silently without any hesitation.

“Hula~!”

Blazing flames rose from his palms, and Ornn waved his hand casually.

“Crack, crack!”

The earth responded to Ornn's will, splitting open into a bottomless chasm with a flaming depth.

Within a few breaths, a ball of red lava flew out of the crack and landed in front of the god and the man.

Ornn reached out and grasped the lava.

"Om~!"

As the red flames rose and burned, a "big urn" shape was formed.

"Hoo~!"

Orne blew gently, and the "big jar" cooled and took shape at a very fast speed. Finally, a big red copper jar three meters high and two meters in diameter appeared in front of Li En.

"Without the 'World Rune Fragment', drinking one sip will only keep them going for two weeks. The magic power is just enough to sustain this winter."

"Thank you, Mr. Orne."

"Ah."

Ornn nodded slightly, then turned around, opened the passage, and disappeared in front of Li En.
