Hearing Faen's words, Janna also materialized from the wind, looking at the girl bound on the ground with calm eyes.
When Faen ended the battle, Zeri and others were already rushing here. Although Zeri and Seraphine had long known Janna's existence, it was indeed the first time Caitlyn saw Janna.
Looking at this spirit appearing from the formless wind, that unique aura of spirit realm life made Caitlyn feel a burst of familiarity and intimacy.
This intimacy wasn't familiarity like mother and child, or siblings. More like the embodiment of people's feelings for the land under their feet.
Caitlyn didn't want to admit it, and would absolutely not express it. But Caitlyn had to admit, there was a voice in her heart telling her that the wind spirit in front of her was the incarnation of the Twin Cities... at least, a part of the Twin Cities.
"It's just that because of Piltovians' ungratefulness, the smell of Zaun on Janna is stronger now." Jinx wouldn't give up any opportunity to attack Caitlyn.
"So, did you feel it? Miss Cop from Upper City Piltover? That call and resonance deep in the spirit~"
Glancing at Jinx, if it were in the past, Caitlyn would definitely retort. But the problem was, too many things happened simultaneously. So many that even Caitlyn's brain was a bit confused. Simply, Caitlyn remained silent, watching quietly on one side.
On the other side, staring at The Solitary for a while, Janna's voice also came from the wind.
"The spirit realm energy on her is more than imagined. I think this should be enough for us to create two God-Chosen." Saying this, Janna looked at Faen with calm eyes devoid of any emotion: "Do you have any recommended candidates?"
Hearing this, Faen looked at the girls walking from the side, then said frankly: "If so, I hope one of these two candidates is from Zaun, and one is from Piltover."
Janna nodded, expressing her thoughts consistent with Faen's. Then, looking at Zeri, Jinx, Seraphine, and Caitlyn. Faen didn't hesitate much, saying directly: "Zeri, Seraphine, what do you two think?"
Hearing the conversation between Janna and Faen, and now hearing Faen's inquiry, neither being stupid, Zeri and Seraphine realized Faen's meaning immediately—wanting them two to become God-Chosen. One Zaun, one Piltover.
Although very curious about what God-Chosen exactly was, being chosen suddenly like this, the feeling of sudden appointment still made Zeri and Seraphine somewhat flattered.
Then the two girls looked at each other. Immediately Zeri said somewhat embarrassedly: "Uh... chosen just like this, isn't it a bit too obvious? Like need to avoid suspicion or something..."
"No need for that." Faen shook his head and said:
"Even leaving aside our intimate relationship, your ability is also the most suitable person to become God-Chosen. Just like Seraphine, your emotion can not only serve as power but also become a bridge communicating with others, even letting others resonate with you, understanding your ideals; those escaping spark arcs are the best proof. What's more..."
Smacking his lips twice, Faen said with a face full of indifference: "And... why leave aside our intimate relationship?"
"Uh, isn't this... for fairness or something, hehe." Although saying this, feeling Faen's open partiality, Zeri still laughed somewhat embarrassedly. Of course, saying embarrassed, but actually her heart was more satisfied.
After all, people always hope to get unique preference. Especially preference from the partner beside them; even a plain trivial matter can make people happy for a long time. Let alone such an important matter now.
Although still not understanding what God-Chosen did, just understanding from the literal meaning, one could feel the heavy weight within... Could only say Zaun was still too backward; if it were Caitlyn, she would definitely determine the responsibility of God-Chosen first, to prevent reading as God-Chosen but writing as legal representative.
Looking at Zeri, then looking at Faen, Seraphine on the side seemed to want to say something, but appeared hesitant due to some concerns. Simply, Faen asked: "What's wrong? Seraphine, anything to say?"
"Ah... I... I'm okay." Hearing this, Seraphine pursed her lips, then looked at Faen, saying carefully:
"But I don't know what the function of God-Chosen is, nor do I know what I should do, whether I'm competent... Uh, I'm a bit afraid that becoming God-Chosen rashly might disappoint Mr. Faen instead."
Looking at the cautious Seraphine, Faen smiled, then looked at Jinx, Zeri, and others whose eyes were also full of curiosity and incomprehension, explaining:
"So-called God-Chosen, literally means people chosen by gods. Of course, you don't need to be too nervous. This doesn't mean you will endure various trials to prove your ability like plots in fairy tales. What you have to do is just let people know me and Janna, let people know there are existences mastering joy and change in this world, and let people strive for these things actively."
Saying this, Faen smacked his lips, then pointed at The Solitary on the ground and said:
"This guy feeds on agony, so she will constantly create agony, and try every means to make people reach the limit of agony physically and psychologically to satisfy her own desire. But I won't, nor do I need extreme joy, and Janna doesn't need extreme change either. So just let people strive towards a happy life, change themselves actively, make themselves full of hope for the future, that's enough."
Hearing Faen's words, Seraphine and Zeri nodded thoughtfully.
Understanding the meaning within, Jinx on the side also nodded, then said: "So you chose Zeri who can turn her emotions into power and release it, and Seraphine who can perceive and infect others' emotions? Not bad, these two guys indeed should be the most suitable for this job."
Saying this, Jinx flung her braids with a face full of indifference and said: "If it were me... talk about joy, I'll never be happy without blowing all Piltovian scums to death~"
Hearing Jinx's words, Caitlyn just glanced at this madwoman beside her. Feeling the indifference in the other party's eyes, Caitlyn didn't think Jinx was pretending—because according to Caitlyn's understanding of Jinx, if Jinx really had thoughts about the so-called God-Chosen identity, she would have said it directly now. Instead of looking at her provocatively like now.
Jinx's hostility more or less made Caitlyn somewhat helpless. But meeting her gaze calmly, Caitlyn didn't mean to retreat at all, just saying calmly:
"I know you hold prejudice against me because of Vi, but I hope you can calm down, because deep in your heart you are still happy to see Vi again. And according to what I know, the reason why you broke up wasn't because of me, but some things happened in your past. Vi didn't tell me these things, and I didn't ask. I also hope you can guarantee minimum calm, instead of hating me, the person who let you see Vi again, like throwing a tantrum."
Hearing Caitlyn's words, Jinx fell into silence for a moment, then sneered and said: "Sounds really nice. If I didn't already know you applied for Vi's release to catch me, I might have believed it."
"One thing is one thing." Caitlyn shook her head: "Arresting you is my duty, and also my position as a Piltovian. If the disgust is due to position and identity, I can understand and accept. But I absolutely refuse to accept this causeless hatred."
Jinx bombing the Piltover Council tower hadn't happened yet. Although the conflict between the two cities was constantly becoming more intense, it was still controllable overall. And as the eldest daughter of a big family, Caitlyn understood right and wrong. Although enemies, it was more due to position. Not personal feelings. After all, calculating seriously, Caitlyn asked herself, her view on Zaun was also mostly sympathy.
It was just that her identity made it impossible for her to act recklessly according to her own thoughts and character.
But Caitlyn's open-mindedness didn't hold true for Jinx—Caitlyn might be calm, but she hadn't experienced Jinx, or rather Powder's life. Countless times longing to possess, yet constantly losing again and again. As a miniature under the intense friction between the two cities, even leaving aside Vi's existence, Jinx hated the entire Piltover equally.
"I admit Vi's matter makes me annoyed, but you'd better also figure it out, Miss Cop." Jinx sneered disdainfully: "I hate you, just need you to be a Piltovian."
"Uh?!" Hearing Jinx's words, Seraphine on the side couldn't help exclaiming softly, then subconsciously covered her mouth looking at Jinx with embarrassment and timidity.
To this, silent for a moment, Jinx curled her lips and said: "Your parents are both Zaunites... and a silly sweet girl like you holding the idea of influencing the two cities with singing... fine, I don't hate you."
"Phew... that's good." Seraphine patted her small chest relaxed.
With Seraphine's interruption, the bickering between Jinx and Caitlyn couldn't continue either, so they simply looked at Faen.
On the other side, Faen also completed the preparation work for the ritual.
