He had just fought a demon who could destroy the world, and now he had to deal with the king of a mortal kingdom who wanted to live forever because of his fear of death. Moreover, the chaos in Ionia was bound to affect him in the near future. Shurima's war would definitely have something to do with him, and the gods in the heavens were obviously plotting something against him. Freljord's family matters were also giving him a headache.
Li Ke instantly had the urge to transform and run to the capital of Noxus and start a massacre. After all, it would be a good thing if they died. Even if there was chaos in Noxus, with their system, they could quickly elect a new ruler.
Li Ke thought in annoyance. Then, just as he was about to find a reason not to do so …
"There doesn't seem to be any harm."
Li Ke stroked his chin. He suddenly realized that he couldn't find a reason not to do so. After all, Noxus' greatest use to him was to unite the small kingdoms and have a common enemy. But it seemed that, perhaps, Noxus had already completed this mission.
From top to bottom, from left to right, Noxus had already beaten up everyone on the map that he could fight and offended everyone that he could. Even though it was in its prime, the root of the disaster was on the verge of erupting. If he were to directly …
"Everything in Freldrod can be handed over to you, and you will also have the right to mobilize all the talents in the kingdom. If you are willing, no matter which land you fancy, as long as you are willing to lead your troops to conquer it, it will forever be your territory. His Majesty the King will always support you … and all you need to do is to ensure that His Majesty the King and those who helped Noxus will have another chance to serve Noxus wholeheartedly. "
The Master Assassin's words interrupted Li Ke's thoughts about destroying Noxus. He didn't wait for Li Ke's reply. Instead, he lowered his voice and continued.
"Even if you don't agree with Noxus's current will, you can still change it into a will that you agree with. Also, you will no longer be a gladiator. You will be a real general, the heir of His Majesty's most trusted friend, and the star of the Imperium. What you do will become the will of Noxus, just like His Majesty. Everything I've said comes from the Emperor's decree, my dear Li … Oh, I think I should call you the immortal, the son of Noxus, the noble General Reinhardt. "
If what he said was true, then as long as Li Ke nodded, Noxus would essentially have a new emperor. Although he would encounter all kinds of situations during the execution, the emperor would not go overboard. After all, the thing he desired was in his hands.
Moreover, these conditions seemed very generous, but Li Ke also knew in his heart that based on the strength he displayed, the power of life he possessed, and the malice he had shown towards Noxus, it was normal for them to offer such conditions.
What else could they do? Kidnap hostages? Sarah was near Li Ke, which was impossible. As for Aichy …
To put it bluntly, if Freldrod was so easy to defeat, the Noxus people would have occupied it a long time ago.
Besides, Noxus killing hostages was an unquestionable trait and tradition. They wouldn't expect a person who was born here to bet on a person who was born as a slave to believe that they would keep their promise. After all, they knew how good their reputation was.
"In other words, as long as I nod my head, Noxus will transform from a greedy wolf into a two-headed eagle? But you should know better than me what kind of conflict will occur between two creatures with two heads, right? "
Such conditions would definitely lead to the division of the Imperium. It was something that couldn't be stopped.
"Of course not. I don't think General Reinhardt has forgotten about Jana, who you created, right? You see, other countries have their own protectors, but Noxus doesn't. This is not good. Since those cowardly countries can have the protection of gods, how can the powerful Noxus people fall behind? Since we were able to defeat them without a god, then our god must be wiser, smarter, and more powerful than their god, isn't that right? "
After saying this, the Assassin Master moved his lips slightly and searched for non-existent wine in the room. Then, he looked at Li Ke in disappointment.
"So, can we have a celebratory wine?"
Damn, it's a type of herb.
Li Ke didn't expect the Emperor of Noxus to want to become a god!
Although it wasn't shown in the stories that he knew, the Undead Warrior Cheyenne wasn't just a test subject for resurrection technology. In fact, he was also a test subject for technology that used faith to turn a person or a dead object into a god.
But unfortunately, it was intercepted by the traitor Swein.
Not only did the Emperor fail to wait for the day when the two technologies were mature, but he also didn't know until his death that his advisors had already mastered the technology he craved. They just weren't interested in letting him join them.
"… Really, I don't know what to say about your ambition."
Because he was the one who single-handedly facilitated the return of Jana, Jana actually told Li Ke everything about believing in a god. Li Ke knew very well that if the Emperor of Noxus did this and was lucky enough to succeed, he would die without a doubt.
His spirit would be overwhelmed by the idea of faith. If an ordinary person without divinity or Quintessence were to come into contact with the power of faith, he would start to die directly like a human who walked into space without wearing protective clothing. Although divinity and Quintessence were also forged by faith, it also required the person to have beliefs and abilities that were compatible with the faith.
In other words, one had to have merits and abilities close to that of a god to be qualified to use faith to become a god. Or, one's nature was compatible with the power of faith to be able to use the power of faith without risk.
The Emperor of Noxus?
Li Ke didn't think he was qualified because there were too many Noxus people, and the beliefs and requirements of so many people were heterogeneous. The Emperor himself was a guy who sacrificed his youth for the future of the Empire. His spirit would be directly assimilated. Although his body and name were still that of the Emperor, from the beginning of the plan, that Emperor was no longer that Emperor.
That part of him would be digested, and then from his corpse, a real, natural-born god of faith like Jana would appear.
"Merits are always accompanied by risks, isn't it? What's more, we have the experience of a real god … and your great help, don't we? Our dear, glorious Sun of the Empire. After all, your will of Noxus is actually very popular in the country. "
There are no two suns in the sky?
Li Ke wanted to laugh. For such a strong force, as long as you were stronger than them and beyond their ability to deal with, then they would serve you meticulously and be quite smart. He wanted to refuse, after all, he didn't want to wallow in the mire, but Duke Ka's last sentence made him interested.
"You're saying that my idea is very popular in Noxus?"
Li Ke was really surprised.
