Chapter 353 The Way of Balance, Exists in All Things

Lion Harbor.

Zhao Xin, dressed neatly, walked into the meeting room. Only Swain was present in the empty hall.

"It seems that the plan is going well."

Swain raised his head from the seemingly endless files and nodded slightly to Zhao Xin who came in.

"Not so smooth, the lure was not successful. And according to my estimation, his strength is not inferior to mine."

"The news just came from the Shadow Stream. Kayn announced in front of all Shadow Stream members: Shadow Master-Zed, died at the hands of Noxus's Zhao Xin." Swain had a hint of mockery on his lips.

"Nonsense." Zhao Xin said disdainfully, "It's just a clone with nothing but appearance."

"But the Shadow Stream doesn't think so. Kayn temporarily took over the title of Shadow Master and is gathering people to prepare for revenge on you." Swain laughed.

"Interesting. With his eyesight, he may not be able to distinguish between true and false."

After listening to Swain's words, Zhao Xin also understood that there should be details that he didn't know.

"He may think that he really killed Jie. Just as Ryan expected, he is indeed very ambitious and scheming. Unfortunately, his luck is not very good." Swain judged.

"Captain, I need to ask the general about what to do next." Zhao Xin's face was solemn.

Swain did not reply, but waved his hand gently.

The magic power obtained from the magic leap shot out from his fingertips and formed a small rune magic in the center of the meeting room.

As the magic power surged, the light became clear from blurry.

Gradually, Ryan's image appeared in it.

"Commander, may the Empire live forever!"

Ryan's daily greetings came from the screen. After Swain returned the greetings, he casually told what happened:

"Zed wants to hide in the dark. Do I need to find him out?"

"You can do it, but it's not necessary. Since he chose to pretend to be dead, it won't affect the plan. However, why he did this still needs to be considered."

After thinking for a moment, Ryan added: "Is there anything big happening in Ionia recently?"

Ionia's strength has never been weak.

Even if the Empire currently has nearly double-digit demigods, it dare not say that it can crush Ionia if it goes to war with it.

If all the forces in Ionia unite, even the Empire will have to avoid its edge.

"According to the information from their internal sources, Zed's fake death may be due to the Order of the Balance." Swain said indifferently.

"The Order of the Balance." Ryan muttered the name, "The order has been passed down for thousands of years, but the headquarters was destroyed by Zed alone, so he is regarded as a traitor and a shame."

Zed once tried to gain more powerful power to resist Noxus.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to kill his master and took out a taboo item from the Order of the Balance.

But a order that has been passed down for such a long time was killed by Zed, who was only a hero at the time, and his master and many believers died together.

It would be incredible to say that there is no secret in this.

According to the intelligence collected by the Empire, the Order of the Balance already has demigods, and there may even be more than one.

It's just that they have been maintaining the balance of Ionia in secret and never appear in front of the world.

But as for what balance they are studying, even the Empire does not know the specific content.

So far, it is only clear that even if Noxus invades Ionia and occupies a lot of land, such behavior cannot be regarded as breaking behavior.

Except for the shadow stream who left the sect and chose to resist, no member of the Order of the Balance stood in front of the Empire.

"It is said that Irelia and Twilight Eye met a few days ago." Swain said.

"Twilight Eye. I haven't heard this name for a long time. The leader of the Order of the Kinkou. Since the previous Twilight Eye died, I remember that his son Shen inherited this title." Ryan smiled.

"Not only that, he and Zed are also close friends. But one chose balance and maintaining the status quo, while the other chose Shadow and changing the status quo." Swain added.

"Based on my understanding of him, after seeing Ionia in war for years, his heart should be confused at the moment." Ryan stated calmly, "If Irelia finds him, he will be entangled in how to make a choice, but in the end he will most likely choose to wait and see. But when he hears the news of Zed's death, things will change."

"Even if Zed is his father's murderer."

Swain's response did not contain any doubt, but was affirmative as if he was stating a conclusion.

"So, there may be two reasons why Zed faked his death."

Ryan analyzed slowly:

"One is to see what choice Kayn will make, and the other is to force the Eye of Twilight - Shen and the Order of the Balance to change their current positions."

No mistakes!

"Going against your own beliefs because of feelings is foolish!" Swain said coldly.

Ryan smiled and drew a circle in the air with his fingers. The fluctuations of magic rippled repeatedly at his fingertips, and the space he circled was also rippling:

"Since I got the World Rune, I can probably guess what the Order of the Balance has been guarding."

"Oh?" Swain raised his head unexpectedly.

This problem has been bothering the Empire, and even restrained the Empire's behavior.

Although the origin of the Order of the Balance was looted by Zed, its core strength is still there.

Before making a full-scale invasion plan, the Empire did not want to provoke the other side for no reason.

Moreover, the Empire had passed the stage of development where it needed to rely on invasion to harvest land.

"Balance, balance, stability."

As Ryan spoke, the magic light on his fingertips became brighter, and the enclosed space became more and more unstable.

"All these are talking about the relationship between the spiritual realm and the material realm."

"Spiritual realm." Swain quickly thought of a place, "The Underworld!"

"The Underworld is a kind of, not only the Underworld, the Void should also be considered one, and even the Heavenly Realm where the Protoss is located may also be included." Ryan listed the planes attached to the Rune Land one by one.

"In their respective planes, most of them exist in the form of spirit or will, just like the soul to the Underworld. The Void is more special, but it has never been a material concept from the beginning."

"What the Balance Cult has always pursued is to maintain the balance between the spiritual realm and the material realm of Ionia and ensure that it does not suffer any disasters." Ryan concluded.

Swain frowned slightly: "To accomplish such an idea, the power of a demigod is not enough."

Let's not talk about other things, just talk about the underworld, the heavens, and the void.

There must be true god-level existences in these three realms, and the Balance Church cannot stop them at all.

Faced with Swain's question, Ryan replied with a smile:

"They may not be unable to stop it, and what's more, why don't we change our thinking?"
