Chapter 148 The Truth of Destruction

Lin Zizhi didn’t know that his ability of [Infinite Foresight] was actually equivalent to opening up the phantoms of countless parallel universes. This operation of changing the timeline would produce special time ripples, which could penetrate the wild runes and transmit to the more distant starry sky.

At this time outside the universe, the Asylum of the Universe, which was suspended on the edge of the Wild Rune, was like a phantom anchored in the void. From here, one could clearly observe the Wild Rune that encompassed the entire multiverse.

From time to time, blue arcane energy flashes outside the wild runes, as if someone is trying to invade this universe wrapped in wild runes.

After a few flashes, the thing seemed to notice the Asylum of All Heavens.

After a flash of blue light, a bald man with purple skin appeared in the Zhutian Lunatic Asylum.

He was a man with a goatee, carrying a huge rune scroll on his back and holding a magic spell in his hand. Strange rune tattoos were faintly visible on his purple skin.

He looked weather-beaten and shouldered an unbearable responsibility. He was the combat ceiling guarding Rune Continent – Rune Mage Ryze.

Someone in the distant void captured the space-time ripples caused by Lin Zizhi’s change of the timeline, and helped Ryze find the direction to return to Runeterra.

And that person is the Time Keeper Kieran, who lives in a tower that has been torn apart from the timeline.

When God Viktor eliminated Ryze from the main universe timeline, he took in Ryze who was unable to return to the main universe.

“Thanks to the Time Keeper, I’m finally back!”

After landing, Ryze didn’t even bother to look at his surroundings. He quickly ran to the window and looked out at the universe wrapped in wild runes.

The Rune Continent universe where the Battle of the Two Cities takes place is wrapped in a honeycomb structure covered with spider webs within the Wild Rune, and the center of the Wild Rune is a special world hidden in the shadows.

The world continues to differentiate into various states and eventually returns to unity.

And time ends here, repeating itself over and over again. Rune Continent is like a world trapped in a time loop with no future.

Ryze’s vision penetrated the layers of wild runes and traced back to the source of time. He saw the starting point of the world’s changes.

It was a world where Piltover and Zaun were thriving and flourishing.

And that world was actually the perfect timeline world that Ike traveled to.

“Thank God, the world is still here!”

Ryze breathed a sigh of relief. He continued to look towards the beginning of time, trying to find his anchor point in this world, but discovered that his existence in the perfect timeline had been tampered with and erased.

In the perfect timeline at this moment, Jace from the zombie universe traveled with his hammer to the cold ice field where he encountered a blizzard as a child.

He wandered in the snow in confusion, the cold corroding his body. While he was half conscious, he saw a ball of light in front of him.

He walked forward excitedly, but when he was about to get closer, he found that the two figures in the snow were his childhood self and his unconscious mother.

“Mom?” Jace muttered to himself in a daze, subconsciously hiding in the snow.

At this time, my mother was dying, and the desperate me as a child was longing for a miracle.

At this time, a mysterious man in a white robe holding a staff appeared. He drew rune patterns in the air to form a profound teleportation array.

The adult Jace, who had been observing all this, discovered a strange scene. In his memory, the person who took him away should have been a man with rune tattoos on his hands and wearing a dark brown wizard robe.

What he was holding in his hand should be a magic book, not a strange staff.

But now that person’s figure gradually faded, replaced by a white robe wizard wearing a white robe, with clean and white hands without a trace of rune tattoos.

There was a subtle conflict between the scene in his memory and the scene before his eyes. For a moment he couldn’t tell whether his memory was wrong or he was seeing a false scene.

“He is not the savior in my memory. Who is this man in white robe?”

Jace looked at the scene in shock and took out the rune amulet he always carried with him to confirm his memory.

At this moment, Ryze in the insane asylum outside the universe curled his lips as he watched the scene in front of him:

“Victor! He erased my existence in this world. Not only did he tamper with history, he also replaced me at the source of the timeline. No wonder I couldn’t find the way back to Runeland for so many years. It turns out that he had already erased all my coordinate anchors in this world.”

“But what exactly happened in this world?” Ryze withdrew his gaze in confusion, and his eyes turned to the end of time.

The end point where the multiple universes merge into one is clearly the final destination of Lin Zizhi.

The white-robed wizard god Victor in the Land of End seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up and beyond the universe.

Ryze quickly looked away. He paced anxiously in the Madhouse of All Heavens. “He grew up too fast. I made a stupid mistake, a mistake I will never make again. But now how can I make up for it?”

Lin Zizhi in the Land of End is bound to the Asylum of the Universe outside the world. When outsiders invade, he senses it at the first moment.

But just when he wanted to return to the Asylum of All Heavens for inspection, the god Victor, who had been avoiding him, suddenly appeared in front of him.

God Victor simply placed his hand lightly on his shoulder, and Lin Zizhi’s connection with the Asylum of All Heavens was severed by a mysterious force.

“he came.”

God Victor said with a calm expression.

“What? Who?” Lin Zizhi was shocked.

“I will explain it to you. Come with me. I don’t have much time left.” God Victor said and turned away.

Lin Zizhi saw the person he wanted to find, but he didn’t expect it to be in this form.

Now that the Zhutian Lunatic Asylum was sealed off, he couldn’t leave. So he stopped worrying and quickly followed.

Just as they were leaving the pit, the unlucky Jace from The Battle of Two Cities 2 came near the pit.

He fell into a deep pit according to the original plot.

……

God Victor brought Lin Zizhi to the former site of Zaun Asylum, where Lin Zizhi saw countless severely charred bodies.

Only one of the huge bodies was a little different. It should be Mondo’s body. Under the scorch on his body, there were faint traces of metallic mechanical distortion.

“I…” Lin Zizhi wanted to speak, but didn’t know what to say for a moment.

“I know what you want, Mr. Zero. You want to regain your memory, which I can do, but it will bring me an unbearable price. This is why I have been reluctant to see you.”

Lin Zizhi was stunned for a moment. The name Victor said was not Lin Zizhi, nor was it Lin Benzhou or Lin Yuchao. He accurately said his oldest code name, Zero, which meant that he had known some of his memories from the brief contact just now.

“Then why are you willing to see me now?” Lin Zizhi asked puzzled.

“Because he is coming back, and I can’t stop him. If he comes back, I will never see the day when the cycle is broken. So I need your help, and I am willing to pay any price for it.” God Victor said calmly.

“Him? Ryze? Or Zilean?” Lin Zizhi could only think of the most powerful human in Rune Continent – the Rune Mage Ryze, and the Guardian of Time who transcends time – Zilean.

“It was the Rune Mage Ryze, who warned me not to touch the runes! But I always believed that the guidance of the runes would lead everyone on the path of glorious ascension. So we broke out into a very fierce conflict, that war destroyed Piltover and Zaun, and it was that battle that made the Twin Cities what they are now.”

God Victor pointed at the countless charred corpses outside the asylum. This destructive and violent force certainly did not seem like the work of Victor, who was pursuing the glorious ascension of all mankind.

“Ryze did all this? How could it be possible?” Lin Zizhi was a little bit incredulous. In his impression, Ryze was the guardian of Runeterra. He should be a very competent and determined guardian.

God Viktor sighed: “By that time, I had secretly converted almost all the humans in Zaun and Piltover. He said that the demise of a few people was better than the end of the entire world, so he directly used forbidden spells to destroy the entire Twin Cities.”

God Victor drew symbols in the void, outlining a holographic image that simulated the scene at that time.

The purple-skinned Rune Mage Ryze was seen floating above the Hexgate tower in Piltover, drawing complex and intricate forbidden runes in the air.

Victor controlled the deformed robots he had modified and rushed towards him one after another.

Jayce, holding the Hextech Mercury Hammer, guarded below Ryze.

The moment Ryze successfully cast the spell, Jayce knelt on one knee and used Hextech to create a lightning field that knocked away all the distorted robots around him.

Then a beam of light that penetrated the universe was ignited from the magic circle. It hit the Hextech flying gate. The powerful explosion not only destroyed the Hextech flying gate.

A violent shock wave swept around and a mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

God Viktor retracted the holographic image and sighed: “The causes that guide us to the highest good also create our greatest evil. That battle made me see the gap in strength between us. I used the time and space distortion caused by the explosion to exile Ryze, who was at the center of the explosion, and drove him out of this world.”

“After that, no one could stop me. Under the spell of runes, I gradually assimilated the humans in Runeland. I thought I could end the suffering in this world, but what awaited me was only dreamless loneliness.”

The white-robed god Victor sighed deeply: “I once tried to save this destroyed world and go back in time to change the course of the story, but the ending could never be changed.”

“It goes round and round.”
