On that day, the Shadow Island Leaders Association was established and the Shadow Island was liberated.

Although Thresh, who resurrected Foego in the original world line, has long since died, and the crisis of ruin has been resolved in advance. However, the leader still carefully added a few more seals to Foego's tomb to ensure that he would never be able to fake his corpse again.

.

Of course... even if he pretends to be a corpse now, he will only be beaten by Janna.

All in all, the whole process went very smoothly.

Except for Hecarim and other bloodthirsty evil spirits, as well as a certain yordle who was so noisy that he couldn't sleep, the undead in the Shadow Islands all welcomed the arrival of the leader of the underworld.

A few days later...

The southernmost tip of the Shurima continent, the Icathia Peninsula.

An ancient and prosperous kingdom once sat here, and a powerful civilization was born that could rival Ixtal and compete with the ancient Shurima Empire.

But the invasion of the void changed everything. The human civilization of Icathia was completely annihilated in that catastrophe, and a handful of survivors fled their homeland in a hurry, leaving only a restricted area of ​​life polluted by the void.

For thousands of years, this place has been the nest of void creatures, an inaccessible and wild place.

But at the same time, in this wasteland that no one has noticed, in these long years, a brand new race, a brand new civilization, is rising silently.

And this civilization is Belvis.

She, the Queen of the Void, is a collection of countless knowledge and memories. One person is a civilization.

She longs to devour the entire Rune Land, and longs to integrate all races and creatures in the world - until then, she will be the world, and the world will be Belvis.

This is a grand ambition. And the scary thing is that she also has the potential to realize this ambition.

only...

Since the beginning of the past year, Belvis's great career has unfortunately encountered a series of setbacks.

The Wind Leader was aware of her presence and teamed up with the resurrected Ascended Ones to repel her attack.

After that, things started to go against her more and more until now:

"Lord Belvis, the current situation outside is not optimistic about us."

The person reporting to her at this time was Malzahar.

But he's not Malzahar.

The real Malzahar had already died in the failed Battle of the Sun Disc.

But for those people devoured by Belvis, death is not the end. Their souls and memories will be integrated into Belvis intact and become part of the Purple Sea, realizing another sense of peace.

"eternal life".

And Belvis was very optimistic about this loyal and capable servant.

So, she instilled Malzahar's soul and memories into other believers, and created an exact replica.

This replica inherited the legacy of the original body and continued to act as the prophet of the void, running a sect in the outside world for Belvis, recruiting believers, and luring more humans to Icathia to serve as her "food."

If you eat people in this way, their growth will be a little slower.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

The east, west, and south sides of Ikasia are surrounded by the uninhabited sea, and the north is still thousands of miles of yellow sand desert and Gobi hills.

Even if this place is a tourist attraction, not many people would come all the way to experience desert survival.

What's more, this place is also known as a dirty place and a restricted area for life.

When ghosts come, they will serve as snacks for void creatures. Who in the normal world would come here for excitement?

Therefore, there was no other way. In order to obtain more nourishment, Belvis could only use human guides like Malzahar to continuously abduct more sacrifices from the outside world.

This trick worked quite well before.

The millennium of chaos in the Shurima continent has allowed the Prophet's Order to develop with peace of mind. Human beings, struggling to survive in troubled times, have an instinctive desire for the power of religion.

But now...

"The followers of the false god Janna have already ruled the most populous north coast of Shurima." Malzahar reported helplessly: "The Shurima Empire, allied with the Wind Leader, has been re-established in the desert oasis.

rule."

"Now all the city-states on the north coast are loyal to Janna, and the oasis tribes in the desert are also attracted by the temptation of stable water sources and have attached themselves to the reborn Azir."

The disorder and chaos that lasted for nearly 3,000 years in Shurima finally officially came to an end.

The Wind Leader and the Ascended joined forces to reestablish political power, rules and order here.

"Those Shurima people now have Janna and Azir to rely on, so few will believe in us."

There are large areas of reclaimed land in Dawn Oasis waiting for human settlement, and the factories on the north shore of Shurima also need more workers.

Janna and Azir actually divide the fields and manage the work. What can your Prophet's Order give you? What are the benefits of believing in the Prophet?

So people abandoned the Order of the Prophet one after another and fell into the arms of Janna and Azir.

"And what's worse..."

"Leaders and Ascendants are still using their control over society to carry out propaganda that is not beneficial to us."

The Prophet's Order has long been officially characterized as a shameless traitor to mankind and an anti-humanity terrorist organization.

The leader has fully activated its propaganda machine, using radio, newspapers, novels, dramas, nursery rhymes and other means to try its best to expose the reactionary nature of the Queen of the Void and the Prophetic Order.

"Anyone who asks you to go to Icacia in any form or for any reason is a scam."

"Cherish life and stay away from prophets."

"..."

These propaganda slogans are well known to everyone in Shurima today.

Now when the propagandists of the Leader see the Shurima people, the first thing they do is to promote anti-fraud knowledge, and the second thing is to promote the Lord Janna.

At the same time, the leader also placed a high bounty on everyone in the Prophet's Order with an extremely generous figure.

"So, let alone continue to preach..."

Now, even if he uses a magic trick with purple light outside, he will be immediately reported by the enthusiastic crowd and hunted down by the leader.

"Deception will not work, and kidnapping is also difficult to achieve."

"Because the presence of the Wind Leader in Shurima has become stronger and stronger. The Wind Leader can be seen in almost every city and every densely populated oasis."

When ordinary people find a believer in the prophet, they have to go to the leader to report it.

If the leader wants to report the situation, he only needs to pray to the goddess.

The goddess Janna rarely interferes in grassroots affairs, but she takes the threat of the void very seriously, and is almost always responsive to requests in this regard.

Basically, as soon as the followers of the Prophet show their faces in front of people, in less than a minute, Tahm will lead the masters of the Wind Leader to descend here from the sky.

Deception no longer works, and kidnapping is becoming increasingly difficult.

"So our space in the outside world is getting smaller and smaller."

"Lord Belvis, if this continues, we may have to watch the leader develop and grow, and watch your great career come to a standstill!"

Malzahar worriedly talked about what he saw and heard in the outside world.

"..." Pelvis was silent after hearing this.

She knew how serious the situation Malzahar mentioned was. She was blocked in this corner of the south and could not grow, but the strength of the goddess Janna was improving by leaps and bounds every day.

If she doesn't find a way to solve this problem, the only thing waiting for her is chronic death.

But... what else can she come up with?

Belvis's true body is in Icathia - no, it should be, her true body is Icathia, the vast peninsula that was swallowed up and fused by her.

The peninsula cannot be moved. Therefore, the farther away from Icacia, the more limited the strength she can exert.

As long as the leader of the wind honestly hides in the north, hides away from Icacia, and waits until the goddess Janna grows to the point where she can defeat her body, they will be able to secure victory.

There was nothing she could do to stop it.

"Could it be..." Pelvis gradually saw a fact clearly: "Am I doomed to fail?"

Although she was unwilling to do so, the high level of wisdom gained from the fusion of tens of millions of creatures still allowed her to rationally understand the current situation——

From the moment Janna appeared in the mortal world with that new idea, she may have failed.

So, how should she face this fact?

Pelvis thought for a long time.

And just then:

"Huh?" She frowned fiercely.

"What's the matter, Lord Belvis?" Malzahar asked carefully.

"There is movement in the north... there are guests coming." Pelvis looked to the north from a distance.

It's north of Icathia and south of the Shurima Desert.

This place is still some distance away from Icacia, and has not yet been swallowed by her;

But it is not far from Icathia. Groups of void creatures have penetrated here and are hidden among the long yellow sand.

For example, Belvez's younger brother, the void escaping beast Rek'Sai, is one of the void creatures active in this desert.

And now, the void creatures told Belvis that humans have stepped into this place.

Moreover, the people who came were not ordinary people. They made a lot of noise.

"Come on, let's go take a look!"

Belvis immediately transformed into a manta ray and flying fish, fluttering its wings and flying towards the north.
