Setting of the Power System

It was mentioned before that the magical energy dispersed from the World Runes of creation nurtured the seeds of life in Runeterra, allowing life to appear in this world.

The source of power for all living beings is magical energy, but different regions, sects, and races have different names for it: Magic Power, magic, Spirit Energy, Arcane, etc., but their essence is the same.

Returning to the main topic, regarding the power system setting, the official League of Legends has not made a clear setting within the League of Legends universe. The author can only assess their combat power based on the deeds of each hero and their background stories.

I have divided all heroes into four categories (not in increasing order of strength, this is just to distinguish the source of power): Elite, King, Transcendent Saint, and God.

To allow everyone to more intuitively feel the strength of heroes, we have set a combat power reference value. The average combat power of an ordinary adult male is taken as 1, serving as the reference system.

First is Elite.

Heroes classified in this category are only slightly stronger than ordinary people, distinguishing themselves through their competitive nature and a few exceptional talents. (To put it bluntly, they are just more formidable thugs.)

The combat power reference value is between 3 and 50.

Heroes classified as Elite include: Outlaw Graves, who fights relying on his large-caliber Shotgun, ferocity, and bravery. His combat power reference value is 8-10.

Scourge of the Seas Gangplank, who is ruthless and cunning. He relies on his flintlock pistol and cutlass (passed down from his father's Bilgewater cutlass; of course, after receiving it, Gangplank shot his father dead) to operate in Bilgewater, gathering a large number of pirate subordinates. However, his combat power reference value is only around 12-15. Even with the bonus from the Bilgewater cutlass, it only increases to about 25.

Second, King (the combat power reference value ranges from 50 to 500).

Heroes in this category have approached the limits of mortal combat power but do not utilize magic, or they use a small amount of magic by borrowing magical items.

They are generally individuals who have undergone countless battles, possessing both skill and strength.

For example: Power of Demacia Garen, the commander of Demacia's most elite unit, the Dauntless Vanguard. His daily training involves dragging enormous Nullstone Golems (miniature versions of Galio). His combat power reference value is 80-100. With the Storm Sword in his hand and the Zeal Armor on his body, his combat power reference value is around 220.

Hand of Noxus Darius, one of the three great figures of Noxus, a symbol of martial prowess. His combat power reference is 70-100. With The Black Cleaver in his hand, his combat power reference value is around 160.

As for why Garen is slightly stronger than Darius, it's because Darius can only inflict physical damage, while Garen can deal some magical strikes with the Storm Sword.

Marshal of Demacia Xin Zhao, the personal bodyguard of the Demacian royal family. He once fought a hundred enemies alone in the arena. His combat power reference is about 90.

The third category, Transcendent Saint (combat power reference value from 5 to infinity).

Heroes in this category have mastered extraordinary magical powers, but this does not necessarily mean their combat power is definitely higher than heroes in the King and Elite categories.

For example, Nidalee, mentioned earlier, only knows some magic that invigorates the soul; otherwise, she relies solely on her hunter's instincts in combat. Her combat power reference value is about 20-30.

Neeko can use plant magic, but she rarely uses her truly mastered soul magic against enemies. Her combat power reference value is 30-300 (if she were willing to use soul magic against enemies, the effect would be astonishing).

Wuji Sword Saint Yi, who has mastered the Wuji Dao. He once single-handedly held off an entire infantry regiment of Noxus (being able to resist a fully formed infantry regiment is qualitatively different from Xin Zhao fighting a hundred enemies in a melee). His combat power reference value is around 1000-1200.

Our protagonist, Jia Ruo, although he claims to have learned half of the Sword Saint's skills, he lacks tempering, and his willpower and experience are far inferior to the Sword Saint's. His combat power reference value is currently about 80 (as of Chapter 22). You Meng can enhance his speed and grant him the ability to penetrate enemy armor. His comprehensive combat power reference value is 120.

Rhaast and Xayah belong to one of the branches of the Vastaya, a long-lived race that can naturally control magic. They are from the Rottelan Tribe, which possesses bird-like wings. They are outstanding elite warriors of their tribe. Although Rhaast used to be a carefree dancer, he is also a war dancer. They can control magic to enhance their bodies and wings, and they are skilled at using feathers and feather blades as weapons. Rhaast's combat power reference value is about 120-150, and Xayah's is about 180-200 (after all, Rhaast is only there to assist in offense and provide protection). However, when this well-matched couple fights together, their total combat power is not a simple addition; it is around 500.

Plague Source Twitch, this transcendent creature is a large rat that can use an alchemical-powered crossbow. It is less than 1.5 meters tall and weighs less than 45 kilograms. The uniqueness of its attack lies in the peculiar potent poison on its crossbow bolts, which can dissolve living flesh. Its combat power reference value is about 5. As for why it is classified as transcendent, even if it doesn't use magic, isn't a rat that can speak human language and use a crossbow considered transcendent?

Of course, there are also some incredibly powerful transcendent beings:

Ascended, originally mortals who gained world-shattering divine power through the Sun Disc. However, in the process, they have transcended the human realm, with most possessing animal-like organs or limbs. Depending on individual differences, the combat power reference value for Ascended ranges from approximately 5000 to 30000.

Darkin, fallen Ascended, with a combat power reference value similar to Ascended, but more brutal. Currently, all Darkin have been sealed. The combat power that can be displayed depends on how much their respective seals have loosened and how much their hosts (those who have obtained weapons sealed with Darkin) can unleash.

Aspects, members of the Titan, whose power is close to demigod status. However, their power on Runeterra requires mortal hosts. The strength of their power also depends on how much divine power the host can unleash. The combat power reference value for the Aspect's true form varies individually, assessed between 8000 and 50000.

Native gods of Runeterra, meaning demigods born in Runeterra in ancient times. It is said that Freljord was formed because of the native god—Mountain's Flame Ornn. In ancient times, Ornn forged an artifact that altered the terrain of northern Runeterra. Furthermore, due to the immense amount of steam generated from quenching, a blizzard that lasted for a hundred years fell there, gradually forming the current Freljord. Currently, the native gods include Mountain's Flame Ornn, Thunder Roar Volibear, Ice Crystal Phoenix Anivia, and the legendary God of Death, Kindred. Their combat power reference value ranges from 50000 to 200000.

Of course, Runeterra is absolutely not short of geniuses. In Ionia, there is a human girl named Syndra. Her unique talent for Dark Magic allows her to devour all surrounding magical energy and convert it into her own Mana, and this consumption has no limit... until the Spirit of Ionia (similar to the soul of the earth) suppressed and sealed her. But with the invasion of Noxus, this seal was broken. Syndra broke through her underground prison and, with her now immeasurable telekinetic power, uprooted a towering spire that shot straight into the clouds, carrying her far away. Therefore, Syndra's combat power is immeasurable.

There is also the Evil Little Mage Veigar, a Yordle mage forced into darkness. His transcendent evil power also pushes his potential towards infinity.

The last category, Divine Beings.

This refers to the true divine beings of the entire universe, Star Forger Dragon King Aurelion Sol and Astral Wanderer Bard. Their combat power is difficult to estimate (the entire planet of Runeterra was created by the Dragon King, making it impossible to measure with data).

The combat power reference value in this chapter refers to the hero's direct combat ability. For example, if Twitch, whom I rated as having a combat power of 5, were to poison a city's water source, the destruction he caused would certainly not be just 5 points.

Readers who have questions about combat power can discuss them with me. Comments and reviews are both welcome.

Finally, and most importantly, this data is only for reference comparison in this chapter, to give everyone a general idea of the power levels.

Characters who appear in the future will have their abilities described in a more detailed and three-dimensional manner.
