-220- The wind of change

"Dong!"

The sudden sound echoing in Linwin's mind made his body stiffen abruptly.

This sound... felt so familiar.

As he looked up ahead, he noticed both Kaisa and Taliyah also waking up, turning their heads towards Linwin.

"You both heard it too?"

Kaisa nodded, holding her head, unsure of what the sound they heard earlier was all about.

While the magically gifted Taliyah looked at Linwin in shock, and hastily asked, "Master, what's going on?"

"It felt like someone squeezed my heart, so uncomfortable."

Linwin closed his eyes, letting his senses spread outwards. Suddenly, his face changed drastically.

Oh boy!

No wonder that sound felt familiar.

How did he get here?

And why was he fighting Janna?

No, they're all allies. I must hurry over!

With that thought, Linwin stood up, looking at Kaisa and Taliyah. "Kaisa, Taliyah, stay put."

"No, I want to go with you," Kaisa shook her head at Linwin.

Nothing would make me let you face the enemy alone again.

Looking into Kaisa's eyes, Linwin hesitated for a moment, then a smile curved his lips. "Alright, then we'll go together."

"Taliyah."

The young sparrow immediately raised her hand. "Master, I want to go too!"

"I can help, I can control sand and rocks very well now!"

"You."

Linwin looked at Taliyah's raised hand with concern, then at Kaisa, who was quietly watching him, and shook his head with a smile.

With Janna there, there's no reason for Kaisa and Taliyah to be harmed.

Besides, they're not enemies.

Most importantly, Kaisa and Taliyah are both strong.

"We'll go together."

When Linwin, accompanied by Kaisa and Taliyah, flew into the sky and reached over Piltover, Taliyah was immediately frightened.

"What is this?"

Taliyah looked beneath Piltover, where the raging winds spiraled upwards, forming a tornado powerful enough to lift Piltover off the ground!

"A tornado? Did Janna, the goddess, do this?"

Taliyah asked Linwin, knowing that only a person, no, a god, who could do such a thing, she had seen that god with her own eyes.

"Janna is angry."

Linwin closed his eyes, feeling the message carried by the wind.

Janna is angry. Truly angry.

Linwin could feel it.

But even so, a goddess is a goddess. Even when angry, she remains calm. The tornado seemed terrifying, but in reality, it was a barrier Janna created to protect the twin cities from the battle's influence. Therefore, within the tornado, was the battleground.

But how did Janna and Nasus end up fighting?

Linwin flew forward with a headache.

And what was Nasus thinking? Can he fight against the current Janna? Even though Janna is not good at fighting, she rarely fights, but anyone who sees Janna, such a huge elemental being, would know, even without any combat experience, just a little bit of effort will do the trick.

With her magical power alone, Janna is already a top-tier figure on the Runeterra's celestial tier.

Nowadays, she is no longer the weak little bird that Nasus once knew, but the goddess of the storm - Janna.

---

"This is my final warning, Neseris, leave."

In the center of the hurricane, Janna flew high, her white dress fluttering, without a scratch on her.

The anger on her face had also disappeared.

No one in the twin cities was harmed by Nasus, he had controlled his soul magic, so at most, he disturbed their sleep?

That was the main reason Janna calmed down.

"You've lost."

Janna said softly.

She was completely unharmed, unlike Nasus below. Since he couldn't fly and couldn't break through Janna's powerful wind cage, Nasus gradually became Janna's living target.

His body was covered in wounds, although the Ascended's resilience was strong, but Janna, with her continuous bombardment, turned the wind into projectiles, leaving wounds on Nasus while continuously drilling into his flesh.

"Jan'ahrem, you've really exceeded my expectations."

"I'm not called Jan'ahrem anymore, please call me Janna."

Nasus shook his head.

He was still used to using the old name to describe Janna.

Just as he still considered Zaun to be the same as Kha'Zhun.

Kha'Zhun belongs to Shurima, that's an undeniable fact.

"I've lost, I'll leave."

Neseris looked up at Janna and said in a deep voice, "But Jan'ahrem, I will come back. I have reasons to go to Kha'Zhun."

"First, I'm called Janna now. Secondly, there is no Kha'Zhun anymore, only Zaun and Piltover. Lastly, no matter how many times you come, Nasus, I won't let you pass."

Janna looked at Nasus, seeing the Canine Head silent, she took the initiative to explain: "I know you are different from them, but even so, Nasus, you will cause trouble for Zaun."

"I remember you weren't like this." The Canine Head looked at Janna somewhat puzzled and asked, "You used to be gentle and kind, but now, you're at odds with Shurima."

"And that's the reason I was supressed by you." Janna floated quietly in the air, recalling Linwin's words, looking at Nasus, she said calmly, "You sent troops to destroy my shrine, you forced my believers to change their beliefs in me, you didn't allow my existence."

"It doesn't matter, I don't care."

"I was born in their beliefs. From the beginning of my existence, I must protect and guide them."

"But Nasus, when you people needed you, where are you?"

Janna said, with a trace of disgust in her eyes: "Your kind constantly bring more suffering and difficulties to humans."

Nasus listened to Janna's words in silence.

There have been too many things that have happened over the past millennium.

Nasus fled, far away.

The emperor died, he watched the great nation fall into chaos, watched the corrupted Ascended fought amongst themselves, and watched Shurima enter into continuous wars.

Just as Janna said, when people needed the protection of the Ascended gods, they were completely unaware that the ones bringing them suffering were the gods they once believed in.

"The wind of change has never disappeared, Nasus, from now on, I won't be lenient with you."

Janna's voice was clear and ethereal.

Resounding in the Canine Head's ears, it made him feel a little ashamed.

"The wind of change."

This ironic term spit out from Janna's mouth, Nasus didn't hear Janna's emotions, but that's exactly why he felt ashamed.

The wind of change...

Nasus shook his head.

He couldn't defeat Janna.

She had already held back, and staying longer would only bring him more trouble.

"I understand."

Nasus turned his back to Janna, looking at the hurricane with a gash in front of him.

Shrinking his body, he lifted his foot to leave.

Nasus intended to leave.

"Wait!"

At that moment, a voice stopped Nasus.
