In fact, not long ago, Victor was exactly the same as the scientist he imagined. But under the guidance of someone, the development trend gradually deviated; in fact, it was more of Victor's self-venting after regaining his life.
This kind of catharsis can be seen in the anime. After using the Hex Core to mechanically evolve his legs for the first time, we can see that Victor needs catharsis in the scene where he runs wildly on the road.
Victor has become more and more proficient in using the laser on his third hand. Compared with the frequent misses at the beginning, he can now cover several targets at once. The Hextech gun blade in his hand is also not idle, and he has learned to use it for long-range attacks and close defense.
.
After cleaning up this small area of shadow monsters, Victor realized the benefits of having power. However, the reaction of the Hex core in his body told him that the energy was about to bottom out and he could no longer continue to clean up.
Victor, who was still relatively new just now, wasted too much energy, causing the blue to bottom out quickly. The Hex core energy derived from the power of rune magic recovered very quickly, but at least within a short period of time, Victor would not be able to fight again.
.
On the other hand, Vi, Ike, and Jinx either used close combat or used bullets instead of pure energy attacks like Victor. They lasted longer than Victor, but their efficiency was not as high as Victor's.
With the cooperation of everyone, the number of shadow monsters was suppressed to less than half of the original number. However, this scene caused panic among the people in the bottom city, and the negative energy generated caused the shadows to gradually devour other people.
"I have bad news here!" Wei gasped and joined the crowd.
"Is there anything worse than now?" Ike already felt that the situation couldn't get any worse.
"There are such monsters everywhere in the depths of the trench... But fortunately, those guys are wandering around in there irrationally and have no movement to run out." Wei remembered that there was a group of people abandoned by the city in the depths of the trench.
, after knowing the principle of the birth of the shadow monster, I had an ominous premonition.
After spending a little effort, she went there to explore, and as she expected, there were no living people there.
Jinx came bounding over with a gun in hand: "Oh, you can't imagine what happened in that remote salvation home! I saw a lot of monsters chopped into pieces by someone who didn't know who!"
"Is there anyone else who is dealing with these monsters like us?" Wei guessed after hearing her sister's words.
"Maybe!" Ike spread his hands and said.
"Where's that guy Chi?" Victor asked as he looked around but didn't find Lin Jiu.
"He went back to the city." Hilko couldn't help but smile when he talked about this matter. Based on his understanding of those congressmen, there were definitely few who could escape the engulfment of the shadow.
…
…
"It's still chaos..." Lin Jiu returned to the upper city and noticed crowds of people running around and panic scenes everywhere. The more panic, the greater the probability of shadow monsters appearing.
Lin Jiu drew his sword and killed the shadow monster that appeared in his field of vision. The scale of the shadow monsters in Piltover was still far from that of the bottom city, so Camille's actions were naturally responsible for this.
However, the Hextech weapons on Jace's side have not yet been mass-produced, and the upper city's current combat power against shadow monsters is somewhat insufficient.
Facing the firearms of the law enforcement team, these shadow monsters can completely withstand it. Weapons with huge lethality cannot be used in the city. After all, there are still many people in the city.
"We must take action and use powerful weapons! Let the law enforcement teams gather the people and evacuate them." Jess felt that if this continued, Piltover would fall into a catastrophe.
"This is not appropriate!" The great inventor Heimerdinger naturally joined the team fighting against the shadows. He quickly raised objections to Jace's proposal.
Heimerdinger was not retaliating against Jace for cooperating with others to remove him from the council. He would not be so narrow-minded. Camille and Heimerdinger had the same attitude: "The professor is right, Councilor Talis
, you can't do this. Or you can only arrange to evacuate the people we have dealt with.
When a large number of people gather together, it is easier for shadows to breed. Senator Tallis must have experienced how these monsters came about!"
"..." How could Jace not know? If he hadn't met Camille and the others, he might have turned into one of these ugly monsters.
Camille and others were able to rescue Jace before he was swallowed by the shadows, naturally not because Jace was lucky. Their priority targets were those who were helpful to them, such as Jace and some important members of the family.
After these people, the problems of ordinary people are dealt with randomly. Even so, there are still many nobles who are not saved by them. Most of these people are guys whose souls have been eroded by wealth. They are completely covered by shadows very quickly!
If we say that the main negative energy that breeds shadows in the lower city is violence, hatred, and murderous intent...the main source of shadows that breed in the upper city is greed!
"Then spread them out!" Jace couldn't bear to turn a blind eye.
"Child, I want to save these people just like you. But what we should do is to eliminate this disaster as quickly as possible. This is the best rescue!" Heimerdinger's eyes were also filled with unbearable color.
comforted.
"The professor is right, but I should remind you that it's not that we don't do it, it's that we can't do it! Piltover's political institution is the parliament. The current parliament is in name only and cannot do what you propose.
As for the reason..." At this point, Camille felt that there was no need to say any more.
Jess, who originally only focused on developing Hex technology, couldn't keep his true intentions after becoming a councilman. What's more, those "businessmen" who have been in this position for a long time.
In fact, Camille deceived Jace, who had just become a member of Parliament. They could do what Jace proposed, but the risk was very high and it was not worth the investment of the Philos family.
The city of Piltover does not have a highly centralized central government. It is the Piltover Council that maintains the apparent order here, but what really controls the city is the famous nobles who have been prosperous for hundreds of years.
them.
For a long time, the major families have firmly held the city's various lifebloods: taxation, technology, wealth, etc. So as long as the Philos family agrees to this plan, their family's strength can do it.
One of the spiritual creeds of the Philos family is: I am willing to dedicate myself to my family. Family comes first!
Their family possesses wealth beyond ordinary people's imagination, as well as rare things like the original crystal, and they need strong power to protect their family.
Camille, who received intensive training and became the family's chief spy at a young age, kept all this in mind. This is why the Philos family gave Camille full authority to handle these matters. They knew Camille's personal abilities.
