The Invasion from Within

Besides the Hextech Warriors, the massive Piltover mech has also been improved. Ekko explained this in great detail, but in summary, there's only one point:

It's impossible to break in from the outside; the only way is to dismantle it from within!

So I informed Darius to look for opportunities to launch a general attack. Only when the battle situation is tense enough can we find opportunities to infiltrate inside.🐍🐝 ➅➈ ♝☜

Besides the outcome of the war, another thing I'm quite concerned about is Sivir.

I haven't heard from her since we parted ways. Ekko said she had successfully completed the modification, but Camille had kept it hidden as a "secret weapon," and I didn't know the actual situation.

I long to see her. Before, I couldn't meet or contact her because of the circumstances, but now the time is almost here!

In the anxious wait, the war entered a fierce stage. The Allied forces completed the encirclement of Camille, but were unable to achieve a decisive victory. It was time for us to step in!

The Project Origin armor can transform into a completely concealed form, which makes our infiltration very convenient. Moreover, I have the ability to teleport, so I easily blended in.

According to the information Ekko sent me, the area he is in charge of is the [γ-13] district, which is one of the few "underdeveloped" areas in Piltover, mainly focused on food and entertainment.

I'm very familiar with this area. I lingered here for a long time when I visited Piltover with Riven before, but everything has changed since I came back.

Following Ekko's instructions, I waited for him in a secluded spot. He didn't come looking for me until it was dark.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Ezreal. I need to deal with my men first before I can come."

"It's okay, did you cut off your communication channels?"

"It's fine if we don't cut off the connection; Camille can't monitor us right now."

"How are Huo Su and Sivir doing?"

"We've already made the arrangements; we'll make our move together tomorrow!"

Do you think we can dismantle Piltover from within?

"I felt very well prepared, and everything looked fine, but something just didn't feel right because Camille's defense was too lax."

Are you afraid she has other plans?

"Yes, Sivir, Huo Su, and I are stationed in the three regions [γ-13], [ξ-9], and [π-7] respectively. These three regions are not important places, so it would be difficult to detect if she is hiding any conspiracy."

"We've come this far, we have no other choice. Let's make our move tomorrow. Can I contact Sivir directly?"

"Let me handle this. The Project Armor has been upgraded several times already; your signal might be detected."

"Good."

I briefly spoke with Ekko and then went back. We're all waiting for the attack signal tomorrow.

Having experienced several major battles, I feel very calm; I wonder what others feel.

Piltover's nights are peaceful. Although the massive machine is constantly in combat mode, its internal workings are stable, and people's lives are not greatly affected. It's a mystery how Camille managed to do it.

At dawn, this tranquility was shattered as Darius launched his all-out attack!

Ekko promptly sent us the message, calling on all Project Warrior had regained their memories to launch sabotage from different directions, while those of us inside directly attacked Camille's command center!

All the soldiers and guards are fighting outside. Only Camille and a group of researchers are in the command room. Even if we can't defeat her for the time being, we can still disrupt her operations!

I was the fastest, and I moved to the vicinity of the command center in less than ten minutes. Just as the intelligence had said, it was completely empty and there wasn't a single person there.

The second person to arrive was Huo Su. Her district, [π-7], was relatively close to this place, and she encountered almost no obstacles on her way here.

Soon after, Ekko and Sivir arrived one after another. Seeing her again after several months apart, I felt as happy as if I had won a war!

Sivir's armor is quite different from all the Project Warrior I've seen, and her appearance has also changed slightly. Her hair has turned a very striking white, giving her an indescribable aloofness. Overall, she looks very similar to her Genesis skin.

We didn't say anything, just nodded to each other and rushed into the command room.

Camille was sitting comfortably in her seat, without performing any complicated actions, as if she knew we were coming:

"You've finally appeared [in the future]. I've given you so many chances, but you never seem to cherish them."

"Thank you for the opportunity. In return, I'm willing to give you a chance. Go back to Piltover and focus on developing your technology. Stop trying to conquer the world."

"Back to Piltover? Aren't I in Piltover right now? Do you still want to lecture me after all this?"

"Look around, you're surrounded by enemies. This shows your actions are wrong. Don't let your own obsession hold you back."

"I admit you're excellent, managing to restore the memories of so many Project Warriors, but don't forget, I am your master. The reason I've ignored you is because you are utterly powerless to resist me!"

Whether we can resist or not will only be known after the battle!

Camille's attitude was resolute, and her tone seemed to conceal some formidable methods, but it didn't matter; things had come to this point, and there was no other way but to take a gamble!

With Camille making the first move, we all spread out to defend. She was already a powerful warrior, and as a pioneer of Hextech, she was even more formidable.

Huo Su awakened the Giant Sheep Power, which, combined with Hextech, unleashed a powerful burst of energy that shook the empty command center.

Like me, Ekko is a flexible type of warrior, using his ability to flank and create opportunities for Huo Su to attack.

Strangely, Sivir didn't make a move; she just watched us fight from the sidelines, and a faint murderous aura emanated from her!

At that moment, a bad feeling arose in my heart. Since meeting Sivir, I hadn't felt a trace of familiarity. Could it be that she hadn't been affected by the time-lapse setting and had lost her memory?

Just as I was wondering what was going on, she made her move, but her target wasn't Camille, it was us!

Most surprisingly, Sivir was exceptionally powerful, effortlessly repelling Huo Su, who was at the peak of his power, and protecting Camille!

"You traitors! Your master originally intended to spare you, but instead of repenting, you colluded with foreign enemies to cause trouble again!"

"Sivir, wake up! Camille is not your master, she is our enemy!"

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense! I'll get rid of you all for my master!"

"Wait! Do you remember what happened in Shurima? You are a Royal Descendant the Shurima Empire family, with the noble blood of Ascended! And Nasus, that learned..."

"Shut up!"

I had intended to evoke Sivir's memories, but she wouldn't listen to my explanations and launched her attack!
