Soon, after Henry Thompson's ultimate was ready, he pushed the mid lane wave again and then recalled directly.

This time, Henry Thompson chose to buy two pairs of Boots of Mobility, added a Control Ward and a few Health Potions, and headed straight for the bot lane.

"The invisible blade is the deadliest!"

When he arrived at bot lane, both ADCs were farming minions. Their Blitzcrank had just been killed by Jarvan and was rushing back to lane after respawning at the fountain. The enemy Malphite was pacing back and forth next to Miss Fortune, looking for a chance to land a big ult on Ashe.

After placing a Control Ward in the first bush and finding no enemy wards, Henry Thompson silently slipped in, slowly approaching the enemy Miss Fortune.

The enemy mid Ahri noticed that Henry Thompson hadn't shown up in lane for a while and sensed something was wrong, hurriedly pinging signals to both top and bot lanes.

"It's fine, I have my ult. Zed won't dare come. Top Ryze, be careful—Zed is probably heading your way." Malphite said confidently in team chat.

Once Henry Thompson saw his ultimate was in range, he didn't wait for Blitzcrank, who had just reached the second tower, and without hesitation marked the enemy Miss Fortune and instantly activated his ult.

"Forbidden Art: Death Mark!"

Miss Fortune clearly panicked for a moment, taking a few steps back. But her support Malphite frantically pinged, so Miss Fortune simply stood her ground, ready to counterattack the moment Zed landed, as soon as Malphite hit his ult.

Just as Zed landed, Malphite, who had been waiting on the side, immediately used his ultimate and charged in.

Sitting in front of his computer, Henry Thompson calmly pressed R, swapping places with the shadow he had left behind Miss Fortune earlier, dodging Malphite's ult.

Almost simultaneously, Henry Thompson's Zed waved his hands forward, a shadow clone appeared next to Miss Fortune, and with another dazzling Shadow Swap, he dodged the barrage of bullets from Miss Fortune's ultimate!

Shuriken, auto attack! Razor Shuriken, auto attack!

With a bit of healing from his Vampiric Scepter and the follow-up damage from Zed's second phase, he instantly burst down the previously full-health Miss Fortune!

Dominating!!!!!!

"Nice!" Top lane Master Yi couldn't help but shout.

"God... truly a god... I didn't know Zed could be played like this!" Zhao Xin, who had just happily finished clearing F4 and was about to recall, switched his view to bot lane and happened to witness this scene, muttering to himself in awe.

This was completely different from everyone's previous understanding of this hero, who had only been released last season. Many pro ADCs had publicly said after trying Zed that he was underwhelming, too difficult to play, and not recommended.

"Damn, is that even possible?" Malphite stared in shock at the enemy Zed's dazzling series of moves, dodging both his and the ADC's ultimates, feeling like his entire understanding of the game had collapsed.

Sensing danger, Malphite quickly tried to Flash away, but was immediately hit by Ashe's Enchanted Crystal Arrow, pinning him in place. Then, Blitzcrank, who had finally arrived, landed a Rocket Grab, pulling him back and uppercutting him into the air. In the end, with Henry Thompson intentionally giving up the kill... the support Blitzcrank claimed it.

Ashe couldn't be bothered to argue with Blitzcrank at this point. He quickly typed in team chat: "God, let's add each other as friends after the game."

Clearly, this Ashe player had realized that this Zed was a strong enough carry—missing out would be a huge loss!

"Uh... sorry, my friends list is full." Henry Thompson politely declined.

For most pro players, every friend slot is very valuable. Unless necessary, they rarely add friends in ranked games. In his previous life, when Henry Thompson reached the pinnacle of esports, he had even refused a rich player who offered 200,000 RMB just to buy a spectator slot on his friends list.

At this point, the kill score had been tied at 5:5, with Henry Thompson taking 4 kills and Blitzcrank 1.

On the enemy team, Jarvan had 1 kill, top lane had 2, and ADC Miss Fortune had 2.

Fifteen minutes in, Henry Thompson went top lane again. Without even using his ultimate, he teamed up with their Master Yi to secure a kill, then recalled and immediately bought Blade of the Ruined King! With this, his build was taking shape, and he now had the ability Zed possessed at his peak—to take heads in the midst of thousands! Sitting in front of his computer, Henry Thompson couldn't help but smile.

"The battle is just beginning!"

"Group up, group up! We can't keep splitting and giving Zed opportunities." Jarvan watched helplessly as the enemy Zed roamed the map like a ninja, killing and dictating the pace, and was starting to get anxious.

The rest of the enemy team clearly realized this too, and several of them started grouping mid.

"41 split push," Henry Thompson typed in team chat.

"God, what if they come to gank you?"

Blitzcrank asked naively.

Before Henry Thompson could answer, Zhao Xin couldn't wait to chime in: "Are you stupid? With that bunch of noobs, even two of them trying to gank God would just be feeding. It'd take at least three to have a chance. And if they dare send three, we'll just push straight to their inhibitor."

Hearing the Korean pro who had previously called him a noob say this, Henry Thompson couldn't help but smile. But Zed really was a perfect champion for split pushing.
