Chapter 400 I'm with You

Ryan smiled and did not deny Sindra's conjecture:

"Both you and I have the confidence to become true gods. But the time consumed is unknown, maybe next year, maybe ten years, or maybe a hundred years. Neither I nor the commander wants to make the future of the empire vague due to uncertain factors."

His words have actually indirectly confirmed Sindra's conjecture.

Whether it is the true god behind the Protoss, Aurelion Sol, or the Lord of the Underworld, Mordekaiser, they are all defined as true gods by the Empire.

Before he or Sindra reaches that level, the Empire needs to have a trump card to compete with them.

Sindra knows in her heart that this is something that Ryan and Swain must think about from the perspective of the Empire.

From the perspective of the Empire, once the existence beyond the Empire's upper limit is known, there are only two solutions.

Either find a way to make it disappear, or find a way to break through the Empire's upper limit.

Whether it is the void, the Protoss or the Underworld, it is now almost possible to prove that there are super-standard existences at the level of true gods.

Facing such an enemy, even if this level cannot descend on the Rune Land, the Empire needs to find its own solution.

"Collecting the world runes can quickly push you to that level." Sindra proposed an idea.

Ryan shook his head: "I only need two world runes to merge with me, and my strength will be enough to surpass Mordekaiser. But carrying one rune on my body is already the limit. If I carry more, I will no longer be myself."

"The Spirit of Ionia?" Sindra suddenly mentioned her old enemy.

"Yes." Ryan nodded, "If our guess is correct, the original form of the Spirit of Ionia should be the Spirit of Nature or Vastaya Xiarui."

The Spirit of Nature and Vastaya Xiarui, no matter which one, are the life bred by Ionia's nature.

"Over a long period of time, because the number of living beings increased, a unique world rune was born because of living beings. In the end, for some reasons, this rune was obtained by the Spirit of Nature or Vastaya Xiarui, and finally He was willing to give up his own thoughts and turned into the Spirit of Ionia to protect the entire Ionia." Ryan said.

"Do you have to pay a price to carry the rune?" Sindra understood what Ryan meant.

Ryan spread his palms, and a dark blue world rune unfolded in his hands.

"Every bit of power must be paid for. Learning requires talent and hard work, and training requires sweat and perseverance. People who devour demons may be devoured by demons, and fusing runes naturally requires a price."

"While it enhances my strength, it also adds a layer of shackles to me. If I no longer pursue the excellence of magic, then I will also be backfired by magic and runes."

His voice was very calm, and he did not produce any dissatisfaction or helplessness.

In his eyes, this bondage is almost equivalent to nothing.

If he no longer pursues more excellent magic, then he has lost his will and faith, so what is the difference between him and those who have sunk because of power.

"Although I can't fuse runes anymore." Ryan paused and smiled, "If I have more than 4 runes, I should not be inferior to Mordekaiser with my current strength. Moreover, as time goes by, both you, me and the Empire will become stronger."

"Isn't this also the purpose of my coming here? To buy more time for you and the Empire." Sindra said calmly.

The current Noxus Empire has entered a virtuous cycle, with the Councillors as the spearhead and the Empire as the base, and is evolving at a very fast speed.

Councillors who are good at fighting, such as Darius and Draven, guard the front line, while Orianna and Victor, who are good at research, use the Empire's endless resources to make technological breakthroughs.

Vladimir, Leblanc and Elise, who were originally affiliated with the Black Rose, are still doing intelligence work, while Camille, Swain, Seraphine and Morgana are sitting on one side, either providing resources for the Empire or deterring one side.

In terms of resources, Demacia provides food and basic labor for the empire, Bilgewater provides marine resources and sea beasts for the empire, and Ionia provides spiritual herbs and magical herbs for the empire.

Shurima and Freljord can't provide much due to climate reasons, but once the objects needed by the empire appear, they will be quickly transported to the country through caravans and military channels.

In terms of military, the empire's ships are already all over the major seas, and they are constantly exploring various places. On land, the empire has two battlefields, Icathia and Freljord.

Compared with the battle between Icathia and the void, Freljord can only be regarded as a small fight, but it is also a good training ground for new recruits.

The once huge and bloated army of the empire has undergone a smooth transition, and most of the warriors have steadily retreated to the second line, and the competition on the battlefield has turned into internal competition.

The empire still advocates strength first, but it has never been limited to individual strength.

At present, after the number of war groups has decreased, the competition within the empire is mainly based on knowledge.

This is also due to the existence of Blitz, which can implement widespread education.

With the War College as the core, in order to adapt to the new changes in the empire, almost all people have entered the learning craze.

Before, the competition was to accumulate military merits by battlefield strength, but now it is to compete in knowledge accumulation assessment to obtain merit points.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, take a look!

For the Noxians, the transition between the two modes was not too difficult.

Those who were extremely strong in their own right are still struggling in the void battlefield.

Those who are now competing at the knowledge level were originally those who were eliminated by the imperial army, or the next generation who did not participate in the first place.

The empire has opened up a new track, and they have gained great momentum instead, all trying their best to prove themselves.

Ryan always believes that as time goes by, new demigods will continue to stand out under such a system.

And when a certain number of people who rely on themselves to become demigods accumulate, then a path to true gods and even higher will become clearer.

The current empire needs more time.

Although the establishment of Shurima has diverted some of the attention of the Protoss, Leblanc still found many traces of the Protoss in the empire.

At least the current situation shows that Shurima cannot attract too much attention from the Protoss.

So in order to avoid being discovered by the Protoss, they have to move accordingly.

And now, the best candidate to go out is Sindra in front of him.

Of course, the appearance of Sindra alone obviously cannot attract all the attention of the Protoss.

So.

Ryan raised his head, his eyes met Sindra's, and said with a slight smile:

"This time, I will be with you."
