Chapter 699: The Great Well of Souls

Jeno and the others came to the edge of the Great Well of Souls, and when they saw the true face of this well, all three of them couldn't help but gasp.

The shaft in front of him was deep into the bedrock of Noxus, far beyond the size of the fortress itself, and it seemed as if the three huge monoliths above the head had been dug out of this well.

The cold blue and suspicious green mingled in the well into a tumbling miasma, swirling far below and reflecting the three bridges that spanned above the mouth of the gorge.

Underneath the bridge, in a mad vortex, a huge, terrifying black figure of a human hung in the air, and no Noxians could be mistaken. A pair of inanimate armor is bound to be mentioned in every history book. There are thousands of statues of it in the Old Town, all of which have been smashed off their faces.

The iron-armored wraith is Morde Caesar, but Jeno only has iron armor in front of him, and the wraith has not yet returned. The connection between Maudecaesar's armor and soul was severed and sealed here.

"What the hell are you bringing us here for?" Riven muttered to herself, her voice trembling incessantly.

"As you can see, this giant well connects to the underworld of Maudecaesar, and if I break the seal and open this well, then the undead army of the undead will slaughter the entire city in an instant. The scary thing is...... These dead will be assimilated into the underworld as part of the army of the undead, and eventually the army of the undead will only grow stronger and stronger, bringing havoc to the entire empire and the entire world. ”

As Jeno spoke, Riven seemed to see blood spurting from the wounds of the Empire.

"Sounds like you're trying to create a soul-eating night in the Immortal Citadel." Few words were not enough to describe the horror of Maude Caesar, so Sivir came to this conclusion by comparing it with the phenomena he knew.

"This is much more terrifying than the Night of the Eclipse of the Soul, because the undead killed by you will immediately return to the underworld, and the next moment they will crawl out of the well, theoretically this time the army of the undead cannot be defeated, they will continue to attack the living endlessly, like an unbreakable cycle of death, until this world turns into another underworld."

The birthplace of Eclipse Night is Shadow Isle, but it's far away from the human world and lasts only one night, so it's not too much of a threat to the living world. Mordecaesar's invasion of the living was different, as he started in the midst of an immortal fortress with a population explosion, and came unsuspected, not as much time for people to flee as the Night of the Soul Eclipse.

Just like the Resident Evil caused in Raccoon City, even if humans try their best to stop it, it will inevitably spread to the whole world.

"Is this underworld you are talking about, is it the world that people go to after death, if it has been occupied by Mordecaesar, it would be terrible." Sivir was vaguely aware of the seriousness of the matter, if what she said was true, then wasn't Maudecaesar the only true god-like existence in the afterlife?

"No, it's just an afterlife staging post for souls who share the same dark faith as Mordecaesar, but those who die under his tyrannical rule are enough to deal a devastating blow to the Empire."

Zeno's explanation relieved Sivir slightly, if the well connected to the afterlife, then they would face trillions of undead for thousands of years.

But fortunately, the underworld is just an unpopular space in countless afterlife, but this threat is still not to be underestimated.

The question of where the soul goes after death is related to the beliefs of the soul during life. Different beliefs will determine that the soul will go to different transit points, but in the end they will all dissipate in the same way.

In fact, from the perspective of energy flow, after the death of a life in the material world, its soul will dissipate to fill the gap in the spirit world, so as to maintain the balance between the two worlds.

But Maudecaesar's actions were tantamount to cutting off this cycle and throwing the energy stripped of the spirit world into the material realm, causing the scales to tilt.

Once the balance between matter and spirit is out of balance, the barrier between the two worlds will become weaker, and the penetration of the underworld into the world of the living will become easier.

It is precisely because of the wanton killing and soul seizure of Mordecaesar during his lifetime that the spirit world cannot be replenished, and the corresponding vast land of Noxus loses its aura and becomes barren.

And these spirits were transformed and blackened by Maude Caesar and robbed to his underworld, making the underworld full of dark energy, and began to penetrate outward through the connection point of the two worlds.

This is also the reason why the land in the capital is barren, but the Immortal Fortress in the center is so rich in dark energy.

The dark energy here was not so strong at first, and under the thousand-year infiltration of Mordekaiser, now the dark energy has overflowed from the immortal fortress, and it will spread to the entire city in another hundred years.

This power affects people's minds, and the Ouchen language imperceptibly transforms people in invisible places, and the weak-willed will become puppets of tyrants without realizing it.

Even if LeBlanc does his best to stop it, one day, the dark energy that pervades the center of the city will eventually manipulate the weak-willed chess pieces to open the seal and release the tyrant.

At the beginning, LeBlanc chose to build the city in the Immortal Fortress in order to personally guard the seal and prevent Mordecaesar from returning to the world, but unexpectedly, he planted a time bomb under his nose and became the biggest scourge of the empire.

This is the shadow that hangs over the Immortal Fortress, and this is just one of the actions that Maudecaesar has done to return to the human world, he actually left many behind-the-scenes in the material world before he was sealed, one of which was controlled by Jeno.

……

Jeno's terrible conjecture has come to light, which makes Riven start to doubt him.

Was it true that he wanted to break the seal just to get the Noxian soldiers out of Ionia, rather than being driven by the iron-armored wraith to bring destruction to all living?

Could it be that he has been controlled and will behave in a way that deviates from his original goal?

Once this terrible idea was born, it was irrepressible to take root, and she even had the idea of pushing Jeno into the well and drowning in order to protect the world.

But before that, she questioned Jeno one last time:

"You want to create a tyrant to counterbalance Noxus, but aren't you afraid that you will end up in water?"

Riven looked at Jeno as she pressed closer, the depths of her eyes already turning into a dark whirlpool, a sign of being eroded by dark energy.

Jano could tell at a glance that Riven, who didn't have an artifact protector, had been affected by the dark energy of the source, and before she could make a move, he let Xavier grab her hands as she touched the weapon.
