League of Legends in Multiverse

Lian Ye landed on the trunk of a towering tree, holding his breath. The silence of the forest was amplified as if in a bustling marketplace, making even the most trivial sounds crystal clear. As all distracting elements were eliminated and tranquility returned, he had focused all his mental energy, activating the Ultimate Predator's enhanced senses.

Since the title of this Hero Ability was 'Pride Stalker,' its prowess in the hunt could not be underestimated. The bandit members weren't Void monsters like Kha'Zix, who vanished without a trace once they entered the Void. Their escape speed and ability to resist were, in Lian Ye's opinion, not worth mentioning.

The Pride Stalker had entered its ultimate predator state. No one could escape its eyes (hunt).

The line of sight transformed from the normal colorful spectrum of space into pure crimson, filled with a dense aura of slaughter.

What appeared chaotic and difficult to discern to ordinary people was exceptionally clear and understandable in Lian Ye's mind. This enhanced sensory vision eliminated any visual interference from forest trees, weeds, rocks, or slopes, concentrating all perception on mobile prey. This was far more efficient than ordinary visual enhancement.

Mere visual enhancement could clearly see objects tens of kilometers away. This ability was suitable for naval or aerial combat scenarios. However, when hunting in the jungle, it would be hindered by obstructions to vision.

But Lian Ye was different. He had already clearly locked onto the movements of the bandit group's convoy, which was hidden by dense bushes and the shadows of trees more than ten kilometers away.

There were a total of 4 carriages. Krista's figure was on the second carriage, her wrists bound with linen ropes, making her unable to move. A bandit member holding a hunting rifle guarded her.

Besides that, the space in the rear carriages was likely used to store the 'ODM Gear' stolen from the Expeditionary Team members, with more bandit members guarding the cargo.

Their faces didn't look like vicious criminals. Instead, they seemed like ordinary poor folk forced into robbery due to hardship and difficulty surviving.

This situation was not uncommon within the walls. The nobles in the inland regions could live lives of decadent comfort, without needing to fear the Giants until the second wall, Wall of Rose, was also breached. However, ordinary people in the outer regions not only had to live in constant fear of Giants potentially breaking through the walls but also faced basic survival challenges. They would spend their entire lives just trying to survive, and even had to risk their lives and toil for the inland nobles.

Therefore, the root of all these problems should be the foolish inland royal government and the gluttonous, self-serving inland nobles.

Just as Kha'Zix disdained the weak human race, hypocrisy, chaos, filth, and suffering permeated the fickle human collective. Perhaps it would be good to let the Giants invade and cleanse this dirty world. After all, Giants, these human killers, seemed to have been created as 'war weapons' by certain individuals from the start, but like all crisis stories, some uncontrollable errors occurred in the end.

However, these matters had nothing to do with Lian Ye. He wasn't a champion of democracy and had no intention of forging a new path or establishing a new regime within this corrupt monarchy.

At least for now, Lian Ye's interest was as a hunter, with the ability of 'Pride Stalker,' the ultimate hunter.

And hunters only cared about the condition of their prey. Lian Ye only cared if Krista had encountered any trouble.

"Heh heh heh, I was just explaining the complexity and beauty of humanity to a Void monster (Kha'Zix) not long ago, and now I have to show ordinary people what cruelty is."

A wry, almost amused expression appeared on Lian Ye's lips. Was this the common saying, "The more people I see, the more I like dogs"?

Of course, there was a difference. Kha'Zix was a Void monster with the potential for endless evolution, unlike ordinary dogs. Due to his involvement, Kha'Zix's evolutionary path might take some interesting turns.

Lian Ye knew that there were many terrible people in this world, but there were also many lovely individuals. He rather liked maidens like Krista, who didn't fit into this cruel world and had kind hearts.

. …

He had already skillfully typed out the name Kha'Zix.

Chapter 41 - The Invisible Predator

"We... we might have done something terrible, shouldn't we have?"

On the last carriage of the bandit group, a young thief, keeping watch, looked at the scene of them moving backward with some emotion.

"They can't defeat the Giants anyway, so what's wrong with taking those useless weapons? The nobles in the city want this stuff, so we just deliver the goods. It's only natural. If you don't dare to be ruthless, you won't even survive. As for the Giants, who cares!"

Another bandit, a grizzled senior with a full beard, said matter-of-factly.

Stealing the 'ODM Gear' that soldiers relied on to fight Giants was, by all accounts, a suicidal act. When the Giants invaded again, they would understand the foolishness of such internal strife. But if these bandits didn't engage in such petty thievery and earn bounties from the nobles, they wouldn't even be able to survive. Who would bother with the Giants then?

"Wait, something's strange. You all come and see."
