"The Advent has ended."
After reviewing his findings, Li Ke shook his head and sighed.
There's not much Fox left to pluck from Ahri. Unless Li Ke can unlock a new affinity stage for Ahri, the 0.1 Soul Strength gained from each round trip won't even increase her strength.
Therefore, if Li Ke wants to become stronger, he needs to get to know new Soul Blossom Deity and more Deity, and start his plan to exploit them.
This is truly a challenging and arduous task!
When he opened his eyes, he had been in the Lotus Space for about forty minutes. In the outside world, only a few minutes had passed, so Jinx, Akali, Irelia must all be in the room.
But when Li Ke opened his eyes, he saw Akali hiding behind Irelia, and Jinx looking in his direction with a curious expression.
"What's wrong?" Li Ke asked in surprise.
What's going on? Only a few minutes have passed, why are they looking at me like that?
Did these women discuss something juicy or suggestive in private?
Li Ke asked curiously, when a voice suddenly rang out beside him.
"You're back?" the voice asked Li Ke. It was a deep female voice, magnetic and with an indescribable complexity, because the voice sounded very varied, like a complex blend of various sounds.
Li Ke was startled.
His current Soul Strength makes it impossible for anyone to approach him silently, even though he just came out of the Soul Blossom Space. He shouldn't be so lacking in vigilance.
The voice then asked, "How long have you been inside?"
Li Ke turned his head and the first thing he saw was a pair of Ionia dragon spirit ornaments. The two dragon discs were coiled behind the woman's head, shining with a green light that gave her black hair a divine touch.
On her small, palm-sized face, she had a high nose bridge, full lips, and wore heavy makeup. Her eyelashes were dark green, and there were two black lines under her black eyeliner.
She looked at Li Ke curiosity on her face and scrutiny in her eyes.
"You"
Li Ke immediately recognized the person and was startled. He leaned back and quickly moved away from the woman in front of him.
But soon, Li Ke felt that there was no point in doing so.
He looked at her and said, "Karma, what are you doing here?"
"So you did know me." Karma nodded, then asked, "You still haven't answered my question: how long did you stay in that world?"
"."
"About a few tens of minutes," Li Ke replied honestly.
"How did you do that? Why were you able to get in? Even we can't do something like that. And which Deity did you see inside? Who are you working for?" Karma bombarded Li Ke with questions.
This made Jinx, who was standing next to her, blink.
Oh wow~
Now Jinx understood why Li Ke always quieted down before doing anything important, found a place to space out, and then waited for Li Ke to open his eyes before saying that things were done.
So, Li Ke went to another world back then?
Jinx looked at Li Ke with the curiosity of a curious child, wanting to know what the world Li Ke could go to looked like, and whether she could go in with him.
And what about Li Ke?
He paused for a moment when Karma mentioned "us," but immediately, Li Ke understood what Karma meant by "us."
Should I call you Darha, or Karma?
"It's fine, whether it's Darha or Karma, it's still me. A name is just a label," Karma said calmly.
She looked at Li Ke, raised her index finger and tapped it lightly on the table, and said, "You haven't answered my question yet. Please answer my question seriously, and don't try to deceive me. I have the ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood."
"Your answer will determine whether you live or die," Karma said earnestly.
As soon as she spoke, a click sounded, and Jinx, who had been happily watching the drama unfold, pulled out her pistol and fired a shot directly at Karma.
"When!"
The bullet struck the green light screen, was squeezed in the mouth, and then shattered.
"Jinx, sit down," Li Ke said.
Jinx ignored Li Ke's orders and fired at Karma repeatedly, but every bullet froze in mid-air before being shattered.
Akali reached out and grabbed Jinx's arm, shaking her head at her.
"Get out of here, let me go!" Jinx yelled at Akali, and was about to curse at Karma, but in the next moment, her mouth disappeared—yes, it just vanished.
Karma simply raised her hand and waved it at Jinx.
Jinx was terrified and reached out to touch her face.
Li Ke looked at Karma, about to speak with dissatisfaction, but Karma directly put pressure on him.
"I'm sorry, I don't have much time, so please don't say anything useless. Please answer my question." Her eyes gleamed, and Karma eyelashes sparkled with light. She continued, "I won't hurt her, and you don't need to worry about dying, because at worst, I'll just seal you away."
"Your abilities are far too special. Based on your answers, I will choose how to deal with you," Karma said seriously, while simultaneously reducing the pressure she was putting on Li Ke.
This relieved Li Ke; thank goodness, his Riot Games was alive again.
I almost thought Karma was going to get drastically modified too.
Would Karma really do something like this—rushing in and even trying to kill someone right off the bat? Of course not!
Karma's character is gentle, intellectual, and kind, and therefore, Li Ke understood what she meant as soon as she said those words.
Considering his ability to enter Soul Blossom at any time, from Karma's perspective as a beacon in the Spirit Realm, it's like opening a dangerous vault that she had sealed away.
Just as Li Ke was about to speak, he was suddenly subjected to a sudden surge of gravity. Li Ke coughed and was forced to the ground, looking up at Karma with a puzzled expression.
No, are you going to stop me from speaking?
But Karma's face was also full of confusion.
She... she really did reduce the pressure she was putting on Li Ke!
Just as Karma and Li Ke were both wondering what the other meant, an unhappy voice rang out.
"The spokesperson for the Spirit of Ionia, what do you want to do?"
On Li Ke's back, a white phantom appeared—a proud, snow-white, slender, and beautiful white fox.
"Ahri?" This is Li Ke.
"The Goddess of the Lotus?" This is Karma.
Akali, Jinx, and Irelia remained silent. Akali and Irelia were afraid to speak because their brains had gone blank when they saw Karma, and they were still dizzy. Jinx, on the other hand, couldn't speak because her mouth had disappeared!
It was Ahri came out.
A pair of alluring eyes looked down at Karma with disdain. Her voice was arrogant and authoritative as she said in a deep voice, "Li Ke is my person. You want to bully my person? What, do you want to fight?"
"Don't think I can't touch you in the Spirit Realm. If I wanted to, I could capture all the countless souls you've accumulated over thousands of years!"
Don't mess with me!
The Fox bares its teeth; it's cute yet fierce.
"Regarding the spirit artifacts, "Ahri said earnestly.
Karma, however, took a deep breath, and countless voices began to communicate in her mind.
Through Darha, they also saw Ahri, and they all knew about Ahri.
This is a soul even older Karma; she is the earliest Mythic being born in Ionia, a legendary Deity.
And now, she has appeared, and is protecting a human being—a Zaunite!
Karma listened to the voice in her mind, raised her hand, the green light disappeared, and Jinx's mouth returned to normal. However, Li Ke remained kneeling on the floor, clutching his chest, not because of Karma, but because of Ahri.
Ahri only said he would be weak, but didn't say that possession would cause pain.
And I was planning to explore the depths of Ionia in a few days, but instead I've entered a period of weakness. What kind of situation is this?
Li Ke felt nauseous, but in the end, the thing he most wanted to vomit about was --
Ahri, you said I'm one of yours and that you'd stand up for me. I'm really touched.
But could you please not do it in front of Jinx?
Li Ke glanced at Jinx and saw that Jinx was tilting her head, deep in thought.
Her little face showed a series of expressions, from conflicted to cheerful, from furrowed brows to patting her chest.
That's right, when Ahri said in a female voice that Li Ke was her person, Jinx really wanted to ask, "What about me? Who am I?"
But then Jinx thought again, should she really be competing with a Fox?
Hmm, that's so childish. Who would compete with an animal for a man?
Li Ke understands Jinx very well and can guess what Jinx is thinking.
Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that Ahri appeared in Fox form.
But in the next second, the phantom on Li Ke's back, the billowing white smoke, began to change, and then the Fox turned into a person, a woman.
A stunningly beautiful woman appeared on Li Ke's back.
Judging by her face alone, she truly outshone all the other women in the room, not to mention her figure and charisma.
Inside the room, each woman has a different appearance and temperament: Jinx is lively and cute, Akali is heroic and pretty, Irelia is dignified and noble, Karma has an exotic charm.
And what about Ahri?
There's no need to discuss her aura; her stunningly beautiful face alone was enough to overshadow them.
At this moment, Ahri raised her hand, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws, her beautiful and alluring face glaring fiercely at Karma.
Just as she had come to terms with it and realized that what she had said was no big deal—after all, the Fox had come to help Li Ke, and she should thank her and not throw a tantrum over such a "small matter" —Jinx instantly fell silent.
Seeing this, she stared blankly up at Ahri's face, watching Ahri casually place a hand on Li Ke's shoulder, confronting Karma.
Slowly, Jinx typed a:?
