But in his eyes, his designs could save many lives. He was then expelled from the academy and returned to his old laboratory in Zaun, disgusted by the shallowness of the people of Picheng. Deep in Zaun, Victor is mired in deep depression, weeks of trauma and self-reflection. A moral dilemma leads him to struggle with himself, and then he discovers that it is human emotions and weaknesses that stand in his way. He has always wanted to help humanity, strengthen flesh and blood, transcend the limits of nature, eliminate mistakes, and save lives. He is enlightened to realize that he too is swayed by these emotions, naively believing that good intentions can break through deep-seated prejudices, while turning a blind eye to human error. Victor knew that he could not expect others to follow him unconditionally, but to set an example for himself, so he hid from everyone and operated on himself, removing the dependent and emotional part of his flesh and soul.

After the operation, the young man who had gone to Piltover was almost gone. Much of his body structure has been mechanically enhanced, and his personality and personality have changed. His hopes for the betterment of human society were tempered and transformed into a new obsession that he called "glorious evolution." Victor now sees himself as a forerunner of Valoran's future - his dream vision is for all humans to abandon their flesh and blood in search of a higher Hextech augmentation. In this way, humanity will say goodbye to fatal mistakes and suffering, and of course, Victor knows that this mission will not be easy, nor will it be just around the corner.

He threw himself vigorously into this great cause. He uses technological augmentations to help the Zuans who have been injured in accidents, improving their breathing apparatus, and working tirelessly to separate the physical from the emotional and reduce human distractions. His skills have saved hundreds of lives, but Victor's help comes with risks, as his methods often have unintended consequences.

However, if you are at your wit's end, then Victor is your only option.

In Zaun, some people heard the words of his theoretical system and saw his success, so they regarded him as a messianic religious figure. Victor was frustrated with such people, and felt incomprehensible about their semi-religious group, because this was the emotional defect he wanted to put an end to, the blind belief in the unverifiable that he desperately wanted to dispel.

In one case of a toxic leak in the gutter area, hundreds of residents of the workshop forest area were turned into rabid patients, and Victor had to use a powerful hypnotic agent to calm the victims, and then brought them back to the laboratory to try to repair the mental and physical damage. At that time, the toxin had already begun to eat away at the patient's brain, but Victor could slow the rate of deterioration. He cut open the skull and used a mechanical device to slowly filter toxins from his blood. However, his current technology is not up to the task, and many people will die if they do not significantly improve the efficiency of the toxin dialysis unit.

He was doing his best to save these people when he detected a surge of Hextech energy coming from the direction of Phi City, and immediately realized that this was the energy he needed. He followed the fluctuations to the source of energy.

Jace's lab.

Victor asks Jace to hand over the source of his energy, a shimmering pulsating crystal unearthed from the Shurima Desert. But the former colleague flatly refused, leaving Victor with no choice but to rob by force. He returned to Zaun to mount the bizarre crystal to his device, and additionally prepared a steam robot for each injured person, just in case their bodies were overwhelmed and completely collapsed during the process. With the power of the new crystal, Victor's device began to work, and the damage of the toxin began to be reversed. He could save all of them—at least in some sense—and if Victor still had a shred of humanity left, he would be celebrating. And at this time, the only way he could tolerate celebration was an imperceptible smile on his face.

Before the whole process could be completed, Jace, who had come to seek revenge, broke down the door and smashed his lab with an energy hammer. Knowing that an arrogant fool like Jace would never listen to the truth, Victor orders the robots to kill Jace. The battle was brutal and ferocious, and in the end, Jace shattered the crystals that Victor had taken, turning the entire workshop into a pile of steel and stone ruins. Those whom Victor wanted to save were also left dead in the destruction. And Jace, who caused all this, returned to Piltover and was hailed as a hero.

Victor escapes from the ruined laboratory and returns to his mission to improve humanity and address destructive emotional impulses. In Victor's opinion, Jace's reckless aggression justified his goals, and made him more eager to help humans relieve themselves of the burden of flesh and blood. Victor did send alchemy-enhanced villains to attack Jace's lab shortly after. But the attack—Victor told himself—was not for revenge, but to find out if there were more fragments of Shurima Crystal that could be used for human progress. The attack was unsuccessful, however, Victor no longer had Jace in mind.

Instead, he worked harder to find new ways to lead humanity beyond its own emotional deficiencies and into a new, more rational stage of evolution. His research sometimes breaks the boundaries of what is ethically tolerable for Piltover (and even Zaun), but these are all necessary stages that will ultimately lead to Viktor's "glorious evolution."

Victor's third hand emitted a very fine light, and the metal was steadily and accurately welded into his left arm. The smell of burnt human flesh no longer made him feel uncomfortable, and he could watch the skin of his left wrist open with poise, blood vessels and tendons intertwined with mechanical augmentations. Instead of daunting and backing down, he felt a sense of accomplishment because he saw a seamless combination between synthetic and biomaterials.

The shouting of the children caused Victor to pause. Few people would venture down to the dense fog boundaries of Starfire Lane. He deliberately chose this off-the-beaten-path location – he wanted himself not to be disturbed.

Keeping his left hand still, Victor adjusted the silver dial of the iris lens. The device adjusts the light path through a set of reflective lenses, allowing him to see clearly on the street outside the laboratory window.

Several children were violently pushing a thin little boy and driving him through the iron gate that Victor had made of fine work.
