"Third party? Who do you think it could be?"

Rather than making blind guesses on his own, it was more convenient and more accurate to ask Thresh relevant questions.

Who makes Thresh a local snake? As one of the most famous demigods in the breeding ground hell, he wouldn't even know who wants to deal with them.

"Targon, this is the most likely party. Lord Ash destroyed Runeterra in order to destroy Mount Targon and the star spirits on Mount Targon. Those star spirits are afraid of Lord Ash's power, so how could they be indifferent to Hell's plan."

Thresh gave a direct answer. Those who want to deal with Hell and have the strength to deal with Hell are actually only a few forces.

The Baru Church heard that they suffered heavy losses and did not have the power to deal with them. In addition, the relationship between the Blood Moon Sect and the Baru Church has always been very good, so the secret of the Blood Moon has never been discovered by the Baru Church.

Then there is the Light Sentinel. This organization has declined since the destruction of the Shadow Island, because at that time the demons were considered friendly forces of humans. The Ash Lord destroyed the Shadow Island and purged the undead on the Shadow Island, which means the long-cherished wish of the Light Sentinel.

has been implemented.

In this case, the Sentinel of Light has no meaning in existence.

By the time the demons residing on the Shadow Island had ideas about Runeterra, the strength of the Sentinels of Light was already much weaker than before. It would be very difficult to eliminate demons everywhere in Runeterra, let alone find the source of the demons.

It was a job with a high mortality rate.

The Sentinels of Light don’t have that many people to sacrifice. Basically, all the Sentinels of Light only look for the source of the demon’s appearance when their lives are about to come to an end, and at that time...

It's not that Thresh looks down on those sentinels of light, but it's the source of the demon's appearance. No matter where it is, there is at least one demigod watching over it.

Those sentinels of light who have reached the end of their lives, have the ability to deliver messages from the hands of demigods?

Finally, there is Targon. In Thresh's impression, Targon has not done anything against Hell. On the contrary, the Lord of Ash hates Targon very much. Thresh even received an order to lead an army to bloodbath Targon.

.

Naturally, he turned a deaf ear to this order.

How many gods are there on Mount Targon? You always want to fight Mount Targon, but you always go alone. Why do you want to drag him along?

The only time Targon took action against Ash Lord was after Ash Lord destroyed the Shadow Island. The gods on Targon joined forces to send Ash Lord back to hell.

Is it because of this?

"Those proud and complacent gods?"

Balliard didn't think those guys on Mount Targon would target the demons in hell. They were all a group of gods with their eyes above the top, and the world was centered on them.

Will they take the demons in hell seriously? There were so many fallen Ascended ones, weren't they all sealed by the stars on Mount Targon? No matter how powerful the demons in hell are, they will not be stronger than those dark descendants.

powerful.

Because those darkspawn are the most powerful ones who can kill demigods one on one. The last war protoss was killed by Aatrox, and there was no chance to escape... maybe it was because the war refused to escape?

"If it's not them, then I have another candidate."

Thresh felt Balliard's doubts and thought that Balliard might know some inside information, so he moved his eyes away from the protoss on Mount Targon.

"One? Ash Lord is a true god. How can one person deal with Ash Lord?"

Even the gods on Mount Targon may have to join forces to deal with the true gods, or release their own divinity and become true gods to confront the Lord of Ashes.

"I don't know. In short, that person survived from the hands of Ash Lord. He is the betrayer of hell."

Thresh didn't care about the so-called betrayal. When he turned from an undead to a demon, he had no sense of belonging to his identity... He had never felt a sense of belonging to a certain force, whether in life or after death.

The only thing that can make him feel at ease is the dark and secluded place where the sun never shines.

"...Ritz?"

Valyard had heard of the traitor's name, and he learned the news from Yasuo, who in turn got the news from Nasus and Renekton.

"Yes, it's that guy. He's still alive. Maybe he's the one who came here. He wants to see if your appearance will disrupt his plan."

Thresh had a deep impression of Ryze. Although he had only met Ryze a few times, he realized at that time that Ryze had a deeper conspiracy.

He didn't know if Ash Lord had discovered this, but even if he had discovered it, given the state of Ash Lord at that time, he wouldn't care about a demigod's little trick.

"Ritz is still alive..."

Are you still in this world line? Balliard is very confused. One of the founders of Salva is Ryze, which means that Ryze of Salva started to eliminate the disaster in Runeterra a long time ago.

In this world line that has undergone tremendous changes, the person least likely to appear in this world line is Ryze. The changes in this world line are probably related to Salva.

"What did he do? The demons in hell seem to hate him."

Balliard was really curious, and there happened to be an insider here. It would be a waste of opportunity not to ask.

"I don't know very clearly. He became a demon before me. It is said that he opened the gate between Hell and Runeterra. And I entered Runeterra after Lord Ash entered through that gate and destroyed

He turned into a demon when he visited the Shadow Island."

Thresh is very interested in Ryze, not only because Ryze is his "predecessor", but also because of Ryze's wisdom. Even true gods like the Ash Lord have been deceived and used by Ryze.

"However, I can tell you some things I know."

"Say it, I will listen carefully."

Maybe there is a dark history about Ryze? Balliard is very interested in this kind of material.

"Ryze was once a human. He took the initiative to contact the Ash Lord and was transformed into a demon by the Ash Lord. Then he established a gate to hell in Runeterra. Whether it was the Ash Lord or other demons, they first came from that gate.

came out, but after the gate was opened, the people in the place where the gate was built felt threatened by demons, and they attracted the void."

Thresh was telling Baliard relevant things, and Baliard was about to go downstairs when he suddenly stopped again.

"In Icathia? He built the gate in Icathia?"

There are not many places in history where the void was actively summoned. The most appropriate place at the time is Icathia.

"Yes, the army of the void launched an attack on the demon army, but there were too many void creatures. While attacking the hell demons, the void was still spreading on the Shurima continent. The Ash Lord was forced to order his demons to clean up the void.

biology."

Thresh became even more curious about the origins of Balliard. If he were a newly born god, he probably wouldn't know about the things about Icathia, right?

Although there are many people who know that Icathia was invaded by the void, and anyone who has studied history will know about that battle, there are only a few people who know that it was the Icathians who actively invited the void.

Because after the Void War in Icathia, the fallen Ascended Ones and the Celestial Warriors started a battle, and the royal power was no longer there. Both the Celestial Warriors and the Darkspawn wanted to become kings on their own. The war had a great impact on the continent of Shurima.

It hurts a lot.

And the dark descendants are killing those who know the truth, so that the Void War has not been recorded in detail.

Only those demigods who live as long as heaven know the truth.

Baliard already existed at that time? Wasn't it? If Baliard had appeared at that time, then how could Thresh, who was still on the Shadow Island and had become a demigod, not discover Baliard?

?

"...The bald head is really cunning."

Valyard became more and more certain that the Ryze of this world line was the Ryze from Salva.

Thinking of later generations, that is, the evaluation of demons in today's classics, it is not difficult to guess that Ryze is whitewashing the demons in hell.

Ryze knew the location of the coming of the void in advance, built the gate of hell in Icathia, and then released the demons at the time when the void was about to come, forcing the Icathians to summon the void.

Void, on the other hand, doesn't care whether the "food" in front of them is demons or humans. As long as it is a creature from Runeterra, they will eat it.

Ryze used the void's indiscriminate attacks to force the Ash Lord to attack the void, and intentionally allowed some void creatures to attack humans to create the image of demons being human allies.

And set a trap to send the Ash Lord back to hell when the Void was defeated steadily and was no longer strong enough to invade Runeterra.

You typically don’t recognize people when you put on pants.

But why did Lord Ash launch an attack on Shadow Island? And why did he let the hellfire army led by Alistar be trapped on Shadow Island?

...Could the Blood Moon Sect be an experiment by Ryze? It seems that Ryze’s purpose in doing this is not to let the demons in hell kill all humans. He wants to let the demons become humans’ helpers.

The Blood Moon Sect is currently working on experiments to summon demons and merge with them. Could this plan be the one that Ryze left behind?

However, no matter why Ryze left this plan, or even guided or led the establishment of the Blood Moon Sect, the current Blood Moon Sect may have violated the original intention. They have a deal with the Hellfire Demon of Shadow Island, which may allow them to

Work hard for the Ash Lord to return to the world.

"He is indeed cunning. When he sent the Ash Lord back to hell, he hid on the Shadow Island. That time was the first time I saw him. He said, 'The Shadow Island is about to be destroyed. Do you want to become a demon?'

?”

There was a rare hint of hatred in Thresh's eyes. Although he had no sense of belonging to the Shadow Island, he had a strong sense of belonging to the Celestial Vault under the Shadow Island. It was his home, and Ryze brought

The disaster destroyed his home,

"The Ash Lord's attack followed. Even after being sent back by Ryze, the Ash Lord still had the remaining power to launch an attack. However, the Ash Lord's attack was redefined by Ryze. The Ash Lord wanted to destroy Ryze.

Destroying everything on the Shadow Island, Ryze let the power of the Ash Lord destroy first and then create.

The undead creatures on the Shadow Island, as long as they survived, they all turned into demons. Maokai, me, Hecarim, Kalista, and Redroth all turned into demons, and some are in hell.

Regardless of worldly affairs, some are messing around in the human world and are sealed by the stars, some are guarding the Shadow Island and accept their rough fate, and some demons are not willing to be fooled and want to be their own masters."

"So that's it..."

Ryze had calculated that the Ash Lord could still use the power he had left in the world, and had made preparations early. While letting the Ash Lord's power deteriorate, he was looking for a location that would not cause too many casualties to attract the Ash Lord's firepower.

Sure enough, all mages have a dark heart.

They will believe in justice and they will stick to justice, but their justice will make them sacrifice the few for the many without hesitation.
