The same story is happening all over the world at the same time.

In Shurima, freed slaves took up arms and faced the enemy alongside the ancient Ascended Ones;

In Demacia, the poor tenant farmers who have turned over have stepped into the same trench as the progressive knights of the kingdom;

In Noxus, serfs and orphans who were once forced into the battlefield by the empire once again rushed to the forefront of the war. But this time, they were fighting for their beliefs;

In Ionia, the former pariahs united under the banner of the Bluebird, vowing to defend Janna, the balance, and their hard-won freedom and equality with their lives.

In Zaun and Piltover, the citizens who had participated in militia training completed the assembly as quickly as possible without hesitation.

In the center of Zaun City, the Hex flying gate hub that connects the entire Runeterra never stops for a moment.

Tons of Hex gems are burning magic and releasing infinite energy regardless of the cost. The brilliant magical light that keeps flickering almost illuminates the entire sky and sea.

Countless figures walked out of the light and disappeared from the light.

They come from thousands of miles away and go thousands of miles away without hesitation.

They are Zaun, Piltover, Shurima, Demacian, Noxian, Ionian, Freljord...

They are the leaders.

.....................

A long time later, off the coast of Bilgewater.

"These leaders..." Planck sighed coldly: "They are really powerful."

He originally wanted to lead the remnants of his party to directly attack Bilgewater, launch a suicide attack in the city of Piraeus, and complete the sacrifice.

Unexpectedly, their pirate fleet had just approached the sea off Bilgewater when they ran into the "Great Wall of the Sea" in front of them.

It is the Great Wall composed of countless warships, fishing boats, cruise ships and merchant ships. They are constantly ups and downs in the wind and waves, but they are indestructible.

As the former ruler of Piraeus Port and the former Pirate King, Gangplank certainly knew how difficult and impossible it was to mobilize such a huge fleet in Piraeus Port.

But the leader did it, relying on his own strength and the support of the people of Bilgewater.

"Oh, I didn't lose unfairly." Plank laughed at himself.

"Boss, is this the time to talk about this?" He looked calm and relaxed, but Malik and others were worried.

The sea was unobstructed. They could see Wind Leader's fleet, and Wind Leader had of course discovered them.

The leader of the wind has countless battleships, but they only have a few broken ships.

How to fight this?

So, regardless of their superiority and inferiority, Malik and others asked hurriedly: "Boss Plank, our attack plan must have been exposed - the leader knew that we were coming in advance, so he went to sea to intercept us.

Us!"

"Boss, what should we do now?"

"Don't worry." Planck said calmly.

Of course he wasn't worried. After all...

How can a man born in heaven and earth live in depression for a long time? Although he is not a good person, he is not a servile coward who lives an ignoble existence.

For Gangplank, who had no choice but to be bound to Mordekaiser, death was a kind of relief.

It's not yet the time for the planned joint sacrifice, so it's too early to commit suicide; and they were caught off guard and intercepted here by the Wind Leader with an absolute superiority of a thousand times...

He did try his best. If he dies at this time, it will not be counted as his death.

"Then what should we do?" Plank was already waiting for death, but Malik and others were still asking urgently.

There was no need to rush. The Leader warships on the opposite side had already turned their direction and pointed the black muzzles at them.

Although in theory they don't need to fear death, and it is said that there is "heaven" waiting for them after death, if possible, they still want to be alive for as long as possible.

They still want to fight back to Bilgewater and take back everything they once owned, and they also want to make the people of Pidgeon who followed the leader and committed rebellion kneel on the ground and beg them for forgiveness!

"Now even those bad fishermen dare to chase us away at sea!" Malik said sadly.

If they had gone to the underworld so early, wouldn't they never be able to express their feelings like this?

"Calm down, Malik..." Gangplank was about to say some more nonsense to make Malik and others quiet down. Then he would quietly wait for the Wind Leader's cannonballs to come over and help him get rid of Mordekaiser's enslavement.

.

And at this critical moment:

"Lord Mordekaiser?!" Gangplank suddenly looked stunned, and his consciousness was connected to a great will from another world.

The exchange between the two only lasted a short moment.

"Boss Gangplank?" Malik and others seemed to have seen some hope: "Is it His Majesty Mordekaiser?"

"Yes." Planck nodded.

Mordekaiser had just projected his consciousness into the material realm, and through the evil magic buried in his soul, contacted him across planes.

"You're right, Malik."

"Our attack plan has indeed been exposed."

Mordekaiser finally realized this.

He originally planned to contact the angels under him for the last time at this last moment to learn about the final progress of the plan.

But when this "call" was made to Amystan, it showed that no one answered.

So Mordekaiser immediately realized that something had happened to Amystan, and the Wind Leader might have noticed his plan.

"Then what instructions does His Majesty Mordekaiser give us?" Malik and others asked impatiently.

"He ordered us to advance the planned time and start sacrificing now." Plank said coldly.

"Now?" The pirates were stunned for a moment.

They are still at sea and have not landed in Bilgewater yet.

Start offering sacrifices now. Where did you get so many sacrifices?

Gangplank did not answer. He just stared at the pirates present with his cold eyes that hinted at pity.

"P-Boss Gangplank..." Malik swallowed nervously.

He finally realized something.

The arrogant ambition of returning to Bilgewater to show off his power and hang all the rebels on the mast to avenge their shame and hatred suddenly disappeared in the fear of death.

"Sacrifice, sacrifice...is it us?"

"Yes." Planck nodded calmly: "Although there are fewer people, it is enough."

All the pirates: "..."

They were silent for a long time, but they still didn't dare to do anything to Gangplank, who had Mordekaiser's blessing.

In the end, Malik could only ask in despair: "Boss Plank, is everything you said before true?"

"Can we really live a paradise-like life in the underworld after we die?"

"Of course. You died for His Majesty Mordekaiser's great cause. Naturally, there will be heaven waiting for you after your death." There was a pity hidden in Gangplank's eyes, but he spoke words against his will without thinking.

These pirates were all his former capable subordinates.

But now, he has no choice.

Mordekaiser gave him that power, not so that he could deal with the Wind Leader, but so that he would have enough power at the critical moment to ensure the completion of the sacrifice.

As a result, Plank slowly spread his hands and condensed a huge black mist sphere——

"Daughter of Death!"

This giant magic ball roared into the sky and crashed down like a meteorite.

Before the leader's cannonball fell, the black mist had swallowed up everything.

"P-Boss Gangplank..." The pirates didn't even have time to let out a complete cry of pain, and quickly turned into a withered corpse in the black mist.

Their flesh and blood rotted into black mud and quickly dried into dust.

A large number of souls broke away from the piles of white bones, and under the invisible laws of nature, opened the gap to the underworld.

Mordekaiser's evil magic fixed these naturally formed plane gaps and slowly merged them into a wide plane passage.

A door to the underworld opened out of thin air on the sea.

The evil breath of death that should not exist in the material realm soon spewed out from behind the door like a flood that burst a dam.

A dense black fog suddenly filled the sea surface, like the fog of death on a soul-eating night, but its power was even more terrifying.

The blue water was soon polluted into an eye-catching gray-black. The vast sky, dyed red by the sunset, gradually turned gray and black as the black mist spread.

The sea seemed to have turned into the wasteland of the underworld, and there seemed to be no other colors between the sky and the sea, except for the long black mist and the gleaming ghostly fire.

At this last moment, Planck was finally able to say goodbye:

"I'm sorry, Malik."
To be continued...
