The Road to Unity

Unexpectedly, LeBlanc shook her head after hearing this, saying that she did not know Ryze. (¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.-> 69 <-.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯)

Furthermore, she doesn't recognize powerful beings like Evelynn, the Void Lord, Aatrox, and Gu Yang. Perhaps the Void Cataclysm doesn't exist in this timeline, or perhaps there's no opportunity for Ryze to act in this era; he's still waiting.

We chatted and rested like this, and before long LeBlanc recovered. In fact, she could recover on her own after breaking free from Mordekaiser's mind control without my help.

"Alright, I've broken free from the Master-Servant Contract. I never thought I'd regain my freedom after all these years."

"Congratulations!"

"What are your plans next? To unite with various forces to launch a coordinated attack on Piltover?"

"For now, this is the only option. Hextech is extremely powerful, Project Warrior are exceptionally strong. Without multiple powerful allies, victory is impossible."

"I've also witnessed the power of Piltover. They easily destroyed the Immortal Fortress, this ancient capital. I've never seen such power except for Mordekaiser."

"Actually, besides uniting with other forces, I had another plan, which was to dismantle it from within, but that plan has already been exposed."

"You mean to restore the memories of other Project Warrior?"

"Yes, I know a lot about people's pasts and can awaken their memories, but I'm afraid that won't work now."

Do you still have friends in Piltover?

"There are a few, but I dare not contact them, otherwise it would be dangerous if Camille found out."

"I know a stealth spell that can help you make contact. Tell me, who else is there?"

"That's great! Could you contact Ekko, Sivir, Huo Su, and Warwick for me? They've all regained their memories."

"That might make it difficult to find them. You'd better tell me their code name."

"Ekko is [Freedom], Huo Su is [Flame], Warwick is [Doom], and as for Sivir, I don't know, she wasn't finished being modified when I left."

What message needs to be conveyed?

"Have Warwick find an opportunity to go to Freljord and persuade them to join us in fighting Camille. As for the others, tell them to wait patiently until the various regions launch their offensives, then we'll coordinate an attack from within and without."

"Okay, I'll go now. What about you?"

"I... have nowhere else to go, so I'll just wait here for your news."

"Remember not to wander off, or you'll get lost!"

LeBlanc disappeared after she finished speaking, leaving me alone in this labyrinthine underground palace.

I found a place to sit down and enjoyed the rare moment of peace and quiet, while reflecting on my experiences after my rebirth.

Since becoming Ezreal, the person I've mainly interacted with is Sivir. Later, I was killed by Xiao Fei while protecting her, and when I woke up, I was still in this identity.

In the past, when I was reborn, I would change my identity, but the overall world would not change. Now, it's the opposite; spacetime has been distorted, but my identity remains the same.

Can I return to the previous world as Ezreal?

Even if I'm no longer Yasuo, as long as I have my past memories, I can get along well with everyone. Now they don't even recognize me, and it's too painful to communicate with them!

Although I can rebuild relationships, it's strange and confusing to have different memories with the same group of people.

Once the threat to Piltover is resolved, I need to think this through carefully; I can't keep wandering around like a broken tumbleweed.

In the past, everyone still misses me, especially Sivir and our children. There are still many things that haven't been clarified. How exactly did the Void Lord ultimately fail?

What did Ryze do?

Who died and who survived?

To find out these things, I have to go back. Fortunately, I met Ekko, and with his and Kieran's understanding of spacetime, perhaps I can travel without dying!

While I was lost in these chaotic thoughts, I received a message from Katarina:

Darius agreed to the alliance's request and was willing to send troops against Camille, which he had in fact been doing all along.

Soon after, Fiora also sent a message:

Demacia is willing to mobilize its strongest forces for the attack, and will spare no expense to defeat Camille!

Yasuo and his companions were on a long journey, and persuading people to help them wouldn't be easy, so there was no news for the time being until LeBlanc returned.

"So? Did you find them?"

"We only found one Warwick, and we almost got exposed, but the message has been delivered."

"That's good. Have you heard anything from Sivir?"

"No, Project Warrior are all addressed by codenames. I don't know what Sivir's name is. It seems you're quite interested in her?"

"Yes, the reason I've stayed in this world for so long is because of her."

"How enviable! What should we do next?"

"I want to see Darius, do you want to come with me?"

"Let's go, it's been so long since we've been out in the world, it's time to go out and see it for ourselves."

LeBlanc agreed to leave with me, her expression nonchalant, unlike the terrifying Pale Lady of popular legend.

She used to always cover her face with a semi-transparent black veil, but now, dressed in a formal gown, she has transformed into a socialite.

I asked Katrina about Darius's location and learned that he was stationed at Delverhold in the northwest, a strategically important and easily defensible location on the border between the two countries of Deno.

LeBlanc has teleportation magic, so she took me there directly. The number of people in Delverhold is not large, but it is full of Noxus's elite troops, and even Swain, who was stationed in Ionia, has returned.

Swain was very surprised by our sudden appearance. He had carefully set up a defensive barrier, but it couldn't stop LeBlanc. However, Darius recognized me and stopped the people from attacking.

After leaving Hearth-Home, I met Darius once. At that time, I thought the Cataclysm of the Void was about to strike, so I advised him to abandon his invasion and form an alliance.

He didn't quite trust me at the time, which is why I went to Piltover to find Camille, hoping to find someone who had the same dream, and that's how all these things happened.

I no longer care about the Void invasion; I just want to end the current crisis as soon as possible.

"Hello, General Darius, it's nice to see you again."

"Ezreal, you said you were going to find others who share the same dreams as us, that's going to take quite a while!"

"Something unexpected happened; it's possible that no one else has had the same dream anymore, so the disaster I mentioned won't happen for the time being."

"Isn't Piltover a disaster?"

"Uh... I guess so, but it's much better than I imagined. This disaster can be averted with our own efforts."

"I heard from Katarina that you plan to unite the forces of all regions, including Noxus, Demacia, Ionia, Freljord, and Shurima, to deal with Camille?"

"That's right!"
