The Glory of Noxus.

In a quiet bedroom.

Huo Jixing’s spiritual consciousness had just left the Xuanwu star map and returned to the real world.

He immediately felt strange changes in his body, as if an endless force was surging in his body.

The four spirits of heaven have all been awakened.

Huo Jixing's body was being baptized by the power of the four spirits from the inside out.

Every bone, every piece of flesh, every inch of skin is slowly changing.

Although from the appearance and body shape, Huo Jixing seems to have not changed at all.

But he could deeply feel that the essence of his life had undergone fundamental changes.

call!

Huo Jixing let out a breath. Now he was just waiting for the right opportunity to step into a new realm.

He was looking forward to that moment, looking forward to standing at the pinnacle of the Valoran continent.

Huo Jixing stood up and looked out the window. The dawn light was like golden flowing gauze, and the noise from the street gradually came.

Smelling the smell of breakfast, he opened the door and went to the kitchen.

Anne sat at the dining table, rubbing her sleepy eyes, looking like she was still half asleep and half awake.

On her left and right sides were Snow White Poro and Tibers.

When Annie saw Huo Jixing, she wanted to run over happily to greet him.

But for some reason, she suddenly frowned, her expression became slightly hesitant, and her steps also stopped, as if she was hesitating whether she should get closer.

Huo Jixing noticed Annie's actions and felt a little confused.

Normally, Annie always likes to stick to me, appearing particularly close and dependent.

But now, Annie showed unprecedented hesitation and indecision, which made Huo Jixing feel a little strange.

Just at this moment, Heini came out of the kitchen with the cooked food and placed it on the dining table.

He also noticed Huo Jixing and was about to greet him respectfully, but he showed the same hesitant expression as Annie.

To put it differently, Heini's expression was more respectful, his eyes full of awe, as if he was facing a superior being.

"What happen to you guys?"

Huo Jixing sat in the main seat, looking at Annie and Heini in front of him with a little confusion.

"Lord Huo Jixing, you seem to have changed a lot?" Heini said restrainedly.

Compared to the meeting before going to bed last night.

The Lord Huo Jixing in front of him exuded an aura that could not be described in words.

Annie blinked her bright eyes, looked at Huo Jixing, and echoed.

"Yes, Uncle Huo Jixing, you are indeed a little different from yesterday."

At first glance, Annie noticed the change in Huo Jixing's temperament, but she was a little childish and couldn't find a specific adjective to describe it.

Hearing what the two said, Huo Jixing's heart moved, and then he thought of the innate abilities bestowed by the Douxiu Star.

Is it the influence of the Star of the Son of Heaven?

Huo Jixing noticed the respectful expressions of Annie and Heini, and thought secretly.

As the first star of the seven Xuanwu stars, the Dou star exerts an invisible influence.

At this moment, Huo Jixing seemed like he was standing above the sky, majestic and awe-inspiring.

Anne and the others were affected by this and couldn't help but feel awe.

"Maybe it's your illusion."

Huo Jixing slowly retracted the pressure he was unconsciously emitting and spoke in a nonchalant manner.

Anne and Heini felt the power gradually disappear, and eventually they were no longer affected and returned to their previous attitudes.

In the warm breakfast atmosphere, Huo Jixing enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast while chatting with Annie.

Because he was in a bottleneck period, Huo Jixing did not go to practice after breakfast, but played with Annie.

Taking advantage of the morning light, Huo Jixing took Annie and Heini for a walk in the nearby streets.

The capital remains prosperous.

It seems that it is not affected by the secret fight between the Reiser Garrison and the Black Rose.

But Huo Jixing felt the calm before the storm, as if the storm was about to come at any time.

dong dong!dong dong!

In the evening, Huo Jixing brought Annie and Heini back to their residence. Before they sat down, they heard a hurried knock on the door.

Heini, who had just unloaded the package, quickly turned around and opened the door. His face froze as he looked at the soldiers of the Reiser Garrison Legion wearing purple armor in front of him.

"I'm here to see Lord Huo Jixing!" said a soldier from the Reiser Garrison Corps respectfully.

Before Heini could say anything, Huo Jixing appeared behind him and nodded slightly to the soldiers of the Reiser Garrison Legion.

"What's matter?"

The soldier of the Reiser Garrison Legion immediately took out a wax-covered letter from his arms.

The sealing wax on the letter has not yet completely solidified, and it has a burning smell, as if it is carrying an important secret.

He handed the letter to Huo Jixing, his action revealing solemnity and respect.

"This is a secret order from His Majesty Swain."

After Huo Jixing took the letter, he did not rush to read it, but glanced at the surrounding buildings out of the corner of his eye.

The flocks of frenzied crows that once roamed the shadows of the streets and on the corners of the eaves have long since fled and are no longer seen.

"It seems that the pressure from the Black Rose is indeed not small." Huo Jixing's thoughts turned.

"Swain has begun to shrink the range of the Crow Flock, doing his best to suppress the tentacles of the Black Rose!"

After closing the door, Huo Jixing gently wiped off the sealing wax with his fingers, opened the letter and read it carefully.

After a while.

He closed the letter and murmured softly.

"Should we start?"

Huo Jixing looked up at the dome. The crimson sunset glow covered the entire sky. Gradually, tiny stars appeared and dotted the clouds.

Based on the trajectory of the stars, he vaguely saw the fate of the Noxian Empire.

The capital of Noxus.

The Trifarii Council is the command center for the chapters under its jurisdiction.

Darius walked slowly along the black corridor, wearing heavy black armor and a crimson cloak behind him.

At the end of the corridor, Darius stopped in front of a solid steel door.

He stared at the giant steel gate and saw a red light permeating the steel gate in the darkness. It seemed to have a spirituality and was swaying.

"General!"

A deep voice came from behind the huge steel door.

"Open the door!"

Darius stared at the red light that was so close to him, and his solemn voice sounded like the growl of a black wolf.

Boom! Boom!

As his order came down, the huge steel door opened from the inside out, making a heavy and heart-pounding roar.

Behind the swaying red glow is a place imprisoned by a black magic rune array.

Dark runes were engraved on the neat and smooth black marble floor, extending inside.

Like black chains, it firmly binds this mysterious place deep underground.

"Are you ready?"

Darius withdrew his gaze and looked at the Rune Weaver beside him with majesty.

This is a secret experimental base belonging to the Trifaree Council, used for the research of black magic and runes.

"It's ready, but is the general sure to use it?"

The Runeweaver, wearing a long black robe, looked at Darius with a slightly hesitant expression.

He was a little worried that Darius's identity was too important to the empire.

Their previous rash use had already caused them to be held accountable by Swain.

"Everything has already begun, we have no choice!" Darius shook his head and walked into the depths of the experimental base.

The Rune Weaver said nothing more and followed in silence.

Although Darius is very compatible with the characteristics of the World Rune, the damage caused by the World Rune to the human body is irreversible.

Darius had used the power of the World Rune before, causing his body to almost collapse. It took him nearly two months of recuperation before he barely recovered.

As Darius went deeper, the air around him became more and more oppressive, and a diffuse red glow filled his vision.

Even later on, the almost solid red light boiled like erupting magma, causing the blood in the body to gradually become uncontrollable.

But Darius had already adapted and walked with firm steps to the core of the rune array.

I saw countless black runes all over the empty room, like a mysterious and magnificent cosmic galaxy.

From a distance, a deep red broken rune was suspended above the dark rune array, emitting powerful energy fluctuations.

It is the source of the red glow!

[Fragments of Violence]!

One of the runes that was born after the former world rune [Tyranny] was shattered.

The Rune Wars thousands of years ago left countless traces and legends on the continent of Valoran.

The most eye-catching among them is the World Rune.

After the war, only a small number of world runes were preserved.

Most of the world runes were destroyed in the endless wars, turned into many fragments, and lost all over the continent of Valoran.

This [Fragment of Tyranny] is in the hands of the Noxian Empire.

And the Rune Weaver.

This is how the extraordinary people were born.

Their predecessor was an ancient tribe from the Shurima continent.

The wandering weaver tribe!

The Wandering Weavers believe in the legendary Mother Weaver and are born with the ability to touch runes.

It is the magical power given to them by the Weaver Mother.

Through their weaving, ordinary people can borrow the power of the world runes.

Although it is only the power of fragments, it is enough to allow people to gain abilities beyond imagination.

In the Noxian Empire, runeweavers have a high status and are a hidden power.

The Rune Weaver behind Darius stepped towards the [Fragment of Tyranny], and three Rune Weavers in robes also walked out from the surroundings of the rune array at the right time.

They surrounded the [Tyrannical Fragment], hooked the red glow with their fingers, and weaved gently.

Those slender fingers were like the toes of a dancer, dancing lightly on the red light, weaving complex rune patterns.

Every touch will cause a slight vibration, as if awakening the dormant power.

Under their control, the restless [Tyrannical Fragment] fell into a state of silence and slowly sank into the crimson armor below.

Darius stared calmly at the fusion of [Tyranny Fragment] and the crimson armor, with anticipation and hope rising in his heart.

After the Northern War ended, the Empire once again optimized the conditions for using the [Tyranny Fragment] to minimize the impact on users.

But the power of the world rune is far beyond the reach of ordinary magic rune items.

As long as it is used, it will inevitably be eroded by the [Tyranny Rune].

Even the strongest will of the Parliament was gradually eroded and eventually became a slave to the tyrannical power.

Later, a wise Runeweaver came up with a daring plan.

He thought that if he could find a similar rune power, it might be able to counterbalance the power of the Tyrannical Rune.

This can minimize the side effects of [Rune of Tyranny].

Darius took a deep breath and walked to the side of the rune array. A huge black axe was placed on the weapon table.

The overall length of the black giant axe is about 1.6 meters, with double-sided blades. The axe body is black and looks very heavy.

【Black Cutter】!

This is a high-level rune weapon that only successive Noxian hands can master.

It is also the Rune Weaver's chosen key.

Balance the erosion of [Tyrannical Fragments]!

"With our bones and blood, a new world will be born!"

Darius reached out and grasped the axe handle, his eyes turned cold and he no longer showed any hesitation.

Buzz!

A trembling sound was heard in the air, like the roar of an ancient giant beast.

The Rune Weavers looked pale, and they exerted all their strength and successfully embedded the [Fragment of Tyranny] into the crimson armor.

As the [Fragment of Tyranny] was embedded, the crimson armor began to glow brilliantly, staining the armor like paint.

Darius immediately grasped the Black Cutter in his right hand and stepped into the center of the rune array.

"Armor me!"

At Darius's command, the Rune Weavers came over and carefully helped Darius put on the armor embedded with the [Fragment of Tyranny].

Their movements were gentle and skillful, as if they were performing a sacred ritual.

They put the armor embedded with [Fragments of Tyranny] on Darius piece by piece.

As the red light penetrated his body, Darius frowned slightly.

Then, the black cutter in his hand lit up with a dim rune glow.

After a brief confrontation and fusion with the red light, it finally reached a state of harmony.

This time, Darius did not growl like before, but reached out and stroked the crimson armor with an excited look on his face.

"The night of the old world is falling, and the Black Rose will surely be cleansed!"

A dark underground castle.

The pale lady closed her eyes in meditation, light purple power surrounding her body, flickering with a hazy light.

Da da! Da da!

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps like raindrops hitting the ground caught the attention of the pale lady, and she looked up.

The Black Rose member wearing a black robe and a hood knelt on the ground and spoke in a hurry.

"Intelligence personnel have discovered traces of Iron Maiden Riel and Mad Rose Berea near the capital."

"Should we take action? Bring them back?"

Since the last fight in the capital, Riel and Berea, due to the interference of unknown forces, left the Black Rose's sight and disappeared.

But from time to time there would be news that they had destroyed the Black Rose's stronghold.

"Are you sure?"

The pale lady did not leave her seat, but looked quietly at the black-robed figure below.

"I'm not sure. Compared to before, their strength has grown again, and we are a little short of manpower." The black-robed figure hesitated and finally said truthfully.

"Well, I let someone"

The Pale Lady was just about to arrange people to capture Riel and Berea, but her heart suddenly sank.

Something is wrong!

Why are there traces of Riel and Berea at this time?

They were Black Rose's experimental subjects, and they were able to escape Black Rose's sight before with the help of Swain's power.

“What a coincidence!”
