Hearing those two names didn't surprise me at all, because I had already guessed that the angel with golden eyes was Kayle, and the one with purple eyes was Morgana.

After these few days of recovery, their hair has grown back, and it's the same color as their pupils.

After the Celestial Chain was broken, coverings grew on their bodies to cover their private parts, and soon they even formed complete clothes!

No wonder the angels all wore the same clothes. I initially thought it was a uniform, but it turns out their clothes were naturally formed. However, Morgana was still a bit different; her clothes were also black and purple.

They've just been released from control, so I don't plan to ask about the past. I'll wait until they've recovered a bit before bringing it up.

"You can stay here in peace; the angels won't find this place."

"Mmm," Morgana replied softly.

I turned to Camille, "I'll have to trouble you with this matter again, the Gray Lady. I'm going back to Demacia to let Jarvan and the Jarvan know I'm safe."

"Sure, but things don't look too good in Bilgewater. You should go check it out there after you've finished dealing with the aftermath."

"Yes, that's exactly what I was planning to do. I'll take my leave now."

I left after entrusting the angel sisters to Camille, and so many days have passed. Jarvan and the others must be worried about me.

I was planning to borrow a motorcycle from Jorba, since frequent use of the teleportation portal is too taxing for mages, but Camille told me that Zaun also built a teleportation portal, which Urgot is responsible for guarding.

This made things much easier, so I went to Zaun and had the Urgot teleport me there.

It was already late at night when I arrived at the main camp in the southern part of Silver City. I didn't go to the palace immediately, but wandered around the area, waiting for dawn while considering the current situation:

First, there's the issue of the angels. Although Meriel and the others didn't see me rescue Kayle and Morgana, they'll definitely suspect me, since this happened right after I left Angel City.

Of course, I vehemently deny it, but they have no evidence, after all, there's the connection of Garr in between.

I am very disappointed in the character of the angels. If they can be so ruthless to their own kind, they must be even more cruel to other races.

I don't want their help except against Aatrox, because the ownership of the Dark Rune is a problem, and we might even end up fighting over it.

In fact, if it weren't for the threats from the Vastaya, the Shadow Isles, and the Void, I wouldn't be afraid to fight them and avenge the Kayle sisters!

However, we can't make too many enemies now; let's wait until later.

Then there's the Shadow Isles. Camille said the Shadow Isles are already stirring, and a full-scale invasion is only a matter of time.

Demacia is already quite warm now, and it looks like summer is just around the corner. That will be Bilgewater's toughest winter yet.

My powerful allies are currently concentrated in Ionia, so there aren't many I can spare.

The four major temples are the constant targets of the Vastaya invasion. Each location needs at least one person capable of fighting them, and three to four helpers would be more reliable. This needs to be arranged.

As for new helpers, Mount Targon is desolate and there are quite a few Aspects, but they are all wandering outside. Only Zoe can help. Leona and Diana will depend on their specific training progress.

The Ancient Dragon were incredibly powerful beings, comparable to gods, but Garr was unwilling to participate in the battles of the present world, and presumably other dragons shared the same sentiment.

Speaking of dragons, I'm reminded of the Four-Clawed Flying Dragon that Garr mentioned. I wonder if Lee Sin has any connection to dragons. If I could summon that guy, I'd feel much more at ease.

The angels are powerful enough, but they're not allies; they could even become enemies. However, if Kayle and Morgana can recover quickly, they should be a good asset. For now, let's consider them a double-edged sword.

Of the known supernatural powers, Tam would certainly travel to Bilgewater to help, including the local Illaoi and the Sea God Poroka.

Based on Janna's description of the merfolk and Poroka's appearance, it's not hard to tell that he is a member of the merfolk race, just more powerful.

LeBlanc will also be there. The Master-Servant Contract Mordekaiser tormented her deeply, and all the grudges and entanglements need to be resolved. Her attitude towards Vladimir has already said it all.

However, there are still some mysteries surrounding her, such as her relationship with the Sage Tabor and the person who helped her break the Master-Servant Contract.

Besides these two things that will definitely help, there are some uncertainties.

Ryze is too busy running around to pay attention to the Shadow Isles, but I think the undead on the Shadow Isles are likely related to the Death Rune, in which case he might help.

He has now collected the fire rune, the Light Rune, and many Rune Fragment. The whereabouts of the Dark Rune have been determined. All that remains are the wind rune, the Death Rune, and the Life Rune.

The Shadow Isles, once a beautiful island, suddenly became lifeless and teemed with undead, including powerful heroes like Thresh and Mordekaiser. This is likely related to the Death Rune.

It's unclear whether Azir and Xerath have resolved their feud. If they have successfully reconciled, Shurima could contribute significantly.

Unfortunately, Sivir disappeared at this crucial moment. She inherited Shetaka's power and could unleash limitless power with just Khopesh.

Lissandra probably doesn't want to come. After reinforcing the seal on the Howling Abyss, she didn't cross the Laos River with Ashe, so it seems she doesn't intend to leave.

Volibear still owes us a favor, Tam said he'd save it for later, but finding him is going to be a hassle.

Jax and Ryze are similar, except one is searching for runes and the other is searching for powerful opponents. If he doesn't show up on his own, he'll be nowhere to be found.

After carefully reviewing the situation in various places, that's about it. If there are any omissions, Jarvan and the others can fill in the gaps!

After pondering these matters, it was already dawn. I hurried to the royal city and woke Jarvan from his sleep:

"She's sleeping so soundly!"

"Yasuo? Why did it take you so long to get back? I was worried you might be in danger!"

"With Senior Garr around, what danger could I possibly be in? I saw angels, but they were unwilling to help."

"It's alright, we'll rely on our own strength!"

Jarvan showed no unusual behavior, seemingly unaware of the events in the Angel City; Meriel likely chose to search in secret.

Since that's the case, I didn't tell him about it. If I keep it from even my own people, even if there are angels' spies here, they'll be fooled. They don't seem to be very smart.

Gods who live in seclusion are easily powerful but simple-minded; no wonder they always say that humans are cunning.
