Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Icacia, an independent and proud country located in the southeast corner of the Shurima continent.

There used to be a rich and prosperous land here, but now it has become the most desolate and evil place.

Although violently conquered by Shurima, humans, three-fingered troll-like long-lived species, vastaya, and yordles coexisted harmoniously in the following hundreds of years.

But all of this was completely broken by Icacia's extremely stupid governing council.

A massive earthquake has shaken the coastal province of Saabura, shaking something dark from the depths to the surface.

After probing by elemental mages, the governing council was shocked to find that this dark force was powerful enough to rival the god warriors of the Shurima Empire.

They call it "the void".

After careful consideration, they dispatched Icathia's best warriors to escort the harvested abyss, using the elemental flame "Eternal Flame" to barely contain it, and prepared to resist the injustice of the Shurima Empire.

For hundreds of years, every time the governing council has applied to the Ascension Group, in order to grant them a national Ascension quota, even one.

However, the older generation who lived through the violent conquest of Shurima firsthand, instilled in their descendants a hatred of the Empire, insults to the Ascended Order, and contempt for the Emperor.

The wolfish ambition was only hidden under the surface of hypocritical compliments. The Empire and the Ascension Group knew what Icacia had in mind, so they never agreed to their request, but they never gave any reason.

Under the vicious cycle, Icathia's hatred of Shurima grew day by day.

When the contained "void" was transported to the capital city of Icacia, after hundreds of years, the governing council crowned a new mage king and reorganized Koali-a group of heroes who protected Icacia and the mage king.

According to their status in the hearts of the Icathians, they are not inferior to the Ascendants worshiped by the Shurima.

The Council has declared war on the Shurima Empire. No nation wants to ally with them, but they are unafraid.

During the first battle with Shurima, elite Koali warriors slew a cocky Ascendant, and the soldiers and civilians erupted and their morale rose.

However, before they could celebrate for too long, bad news came one after another.

The powerful Ascending Legion has come to Icacia, and with the blessing of the power of the sun disc, each of them easily flattened the border city of Icacia.

Under the majestic might, they can behead the mage king as they did 900 years ago, nail his bones to the top of the city, and let them rot, as a warning.

The Ascension Group sent three Ascendants, and under their joint attack, the Icathian army retreated steadily, with no power to resist.

The insane ruling council ordered the void to be released, and the elemental mages unleashed the Eternal Flame, bringing the evil contained within to descend on the land.

In an instant, the void devoured the earth, tore apart the surface, and opened the transmission channel from the plane of nothingness to the plane of matter. The escaping void breath created countless void creations, greedily sucking the vitality of this vibrant land.

So far, the century-long Void War has begun.

The leader of the Ascension Group, the Ascension Valkyrie Setaka died on the battlefield. Thousands of Celestial Warriors fell one after another, and in the end almost none of them survived.

If Horok hadn't jumped into the abyss, away from the sun disc that gave him strength, pierced the heart of the void with the blade of the underworld, and closed the void passage, even the Shurima Empire might have fallen, making this world Completely swallowed by nothingness.

Li Lin stood on a small hill on the border of Keharise and looked far into the distance, his line of sight went from low to high.

From the desert to the saline zone, to the chitinous hard-shelled ground that rises like a hill, and finally looks at the black cloud sweeping, lightning and thunder, and the sky that has not changed for thousands of years.

The whole world is in a gray mist, the bleak and biting cold wind can almost penetrate the human soul, there are bottomless abyss fissures everywhere, and occasionally there is at least a dozen square meters of space in one place. The giant footprints hinted at how terrifying this place really is.

No living being can survive the corruption unguarded.

This is the first time Li Lin has seen part of Icacia's appearance with his own eyes.

Kassadin is less than a kilometer away from here, far from setting foot in the territory of Icacia, which reassures him a lot.

If something goes wrong with Kassadin, it will be difficult for him to explain to Kaisha...

Li Lin took a deep breath, started the propeller engine, and flew towards Kassadin at a high speed.

[It is detected that the oxygen content in the air is gradually decreasing...]

[When you arrive at Mr. Kassadin's location, the oxygen content in the air is expected to drop to 15.78%. 】

[If you leave Keharise and enter Icacia, the oxygen content in the air will drop to 12.33%, which is only an average level estimated based on the element content in the surrounding air. 】

[It is detected that there are unresolvable energy particles in the air of Icacia, and it is impossible to know whether they are harmful to the human body. 】

[Master, I recommend that you activate the internal circulation oxygen supply system in advance. 】

Li Lin frowned, and with a thought, he switched the breathing mode of the battle armor from filtering to internal circulation, and then saw the figure below, and quickly landed.

Kassadin was crouching behind a hernia protruding from the ground, cutting through the material with the Netherblade.

Reminded by the smart chip of the power armor, he glanced behind him first, then got up and turned around, and said in a surprised tone: "Li Lin?!"

Li Lin waved to him and said with a smile, "Long time no see."

"Why did you come here?" Kassadin retracted the blade of the underworld, dropped the hernia fragments in his hand, and ran to Li Lin's side quickly, his tone was quite shocked, "Also, you can really fly? !"

Although Kai'Sa told him about Li Lin's ability to fly, but with his gradual familiarity with power armor, he really couldn't imagine how such a heavy armor with limited power supply could fly in the sky.

For a long time, Kassadin subconsciously felt that Li Lin should have used a method similar to "gliding", so that the armor could glide for a short time when it fell from a high altitude, so that his daughter thought he could fly.

But looking at it now, Kassadin realized that he was completely wrong.

"In fact, not long after we returned to Picheng after we parted in Naslam, I developed flying technology." Li Lin explained, "Although the armor at that time could not leave Runeterra, it could fly tens of thousands of meters It's high up."

"Several, tens of thousands... meters?!" Kassadin stuttered in shock, almost speechless.

But soon, with a lot of experience in his life, he restrained his emotions, relaxed his tense nerves a little, and did not continue on this topic that he couldn't understand the principle at all.

"By the way, Kassa..." Kassadin hesitated to speak.

Although Li Lin couldn't see his expression clearly through the visor, he could tell his current mood from the slightly choked voice.

"Thank you, you really did."

Li Lin understood that Kassadin was referring to helping Kaisa peel off the void shell, "Unfortunately, the situation is still not optimistic."

Kassadin was silent for a while and sighed heavily.

Kai'Sa had told him about Belvis before, and warned him not to go to the ruins of the city that had been swallowed long ago.

That city is not far from Zoran, the "Utopia" city rumored by the desert people.

It's just that anyone who knows a little bit about the void will not think that Zoran, who is close to Icacia, will be a "paradise."

The Exels used to occupy this uninhabited land, and opened void corridors from both ends of the mountain range, allowing people to go directly from Kehalise...

If you are not afraid of death.

And Belvis is at the other end of the southern mountain range, and it is a port city.

Kassadin had been to Zoran to investigate, and he had thought about going to Belvis, but fortunately, Kassa's reminder was more timely, so he dispelled this idea.

After a moment of silence, Li Lin took the lead to break the slightly dignified atmosphere, "Didn't you say you were going back to Vikola to meet Kai'Sa? Why did you suddenly turn back?"

Kassadin hesitated for two seconds, and said with a serious tone: "I originally planned to do so, but on the way back, I rescued an expedition team in a ruins of an ancient tomb in Keharise. They claimed to be from Archaeologist at Piltover University."

Li Lin raised his eyebrows and hummed softly, "Huh?"

The Academy has sent only one expedition of archaeologists to Shurima recently, and it was the team Ezreal's parents were on.

Unexpectedly, they almost died in the ruins, and were rescued by Kassadin who happened to pass by?
"Do you know them?" Kassadin asked.

"Maybe, there should be a professor I've seen in it."

"That's really lucky. They went deep into the ruins rashly without hiring an experienced local guide. If you encounter them in the future, you must remind them."

Afterwards, Kassadin continued to talk about his experience: "One of the group of archaeologists said that they met missionaries in Kenesh, who were dressed according to their descriptions, and most likely belonged to Malzaha's Void Religion. people."

Li Lin's face became serious, "Have you found out where Malzaha is?"

Kassadin shook his head, "I wanted to go to Kenesh to find that guy, but unfortunately the archaeologists told me that Kenesh had already returned to the rule of Shurima, and the missionary failed to enter the city, only from the herdsmen. I bought a batch of Dasai bighorn sheep, and then headed southeast."

He paused for a while, as if thinking, "Well... Calculated according to the time, I should be able to meet him today."

Li Lin was silent for a while, "Intellect, send drones to scan for signs of life nearby."

【clear. 】

Under Kassadin's astonished gaze, the nano-material quickly transformed, and more than a dozen mini drones quickly separated from the armor, lifted into the air, and entered the invisible state of optical camouflage.

"This, this is..."

"My newly developed nanotechnology."

Li Lin smiled, then stretched out his right hand, and more nanorobots flew out from above, enveloping Kassadin without any resistance.

The nanorobots drilled into Kassadin's original part of the gap in the power armor and attached to his body.

As the Hextech Powered Armor ejected white gas and released it from Kassadin, the new Voidwalker nano-armor seamlessly connected, covering his whole body, and even fixed the gauntlet of the Blade of the Underworld. On his right hand, the appearance is the same as the original.

Kassadin raised his hand in astonishment, looked at the identical armor parked in front of him, opened his mouth, but made no sound.

He had absolutely no idea what was going on.

"Your set of Hex power armor is too old, I built you a new set of armor, which uses the same technology as mine."

Li Lin smiled lightly, "I named it Yuan Project Void Walker."
