It comes from an unknowable abyss that exists beyond this plane of matter, somehow below.

It was the realm of the void, where neither ordinary nor immortal regular beings could walk. It doesn't make sense to explore how and why this place exists – it just needs to know that it exists.

Void has no beginning and no end. The void devours everything.

The deep shadows of the crater reminded it of the darkness of the void.

But its nostalgia is incomprehensible to any human being, because it does not have emotions in the true sense of the word, it does not have a home in the true sense of the word.

Not long ago, its home world began an invasion of the Runeterras, and thanks to the knowledge it provides, the invasion went quite smoothly.

Humanity foolishly tried to make them weapons in their hands, so they opened a rift in the substrate of the world and summoned them, yet their poor minds could not comprehend their form of existence.

They tried to harness the Void, only to be swallowed up by it. They have become nourishment and knowledge.

It comes to the ruins of the city to assess the destructive power of the Void.

A special knowledge sparked its curiosity, and in the heart of the destroyed city stood a lonely tower, a very unusual tower.

It analyzes and concludes that this is a creation of a powerful magical realm, a creation used to keep track of time.

When it tried to enter the tower, its body passed through it, as if the tower were just an apparition, a light that did not exist in this world.

It didn't bother it, and it thought of several possibilities in an instant.

The most likely concept of time in the tower has been altered, not just here, but more than one time and space at the same time.

Doing so requires more knowledge than you can imagine. It needs such knowledge, which it has never encountered in its millennia of life.

Yes, it has been around for thousands of years.

Thousands of years before Acacia freed the Void into war, the primordial creatures of Shurima had begun to fear it, climbing up from the underworld to erode the minds of the wise. It collects information, summarizes it, and derives useful information that it transmits back to the mother world.

The insatiable thirst for knowledge guides it throughout the world.

It quietly watched the rise, ossification, and decline of countless civilizations, spent hundreds of years searching for the secrets of the ocean beneath, and even predicted the movement of the stars above the heavenly court.

Mortals call their race by the Void, and as a rather special individual within the race, it has also received a special name. Its name cannot be accurately translated into modern language, but it is roughly equivalent to "understanding by decomposition" or "understanding of things".

Vikz!

It is the eye of the mother world, which is dominated and uses the primordial matter that made up that world, shaped, corrupted, and injected into consciousness.

As the eyes and ears of the masters, it is sent to the material world to monitor, listen, and learn.

After returning to the Great Rift to relay their newly gathered information, Vikz and his ilk are given a new mission to find an item called the World Rune.

To find an item, you have to know everything you need to know about it.

It could be about ......

The howls of the lower ethereals interrupted its thinking and hindered its access to knowledge.

Vikz is not annoyed, because knowledge is conserved.

Hindering it from acquiring knowledge, the hinderer becomes part of the knowledge.

The process of analysis is often overwhelming for the target, but that doesn't matter.

The disintegration ray melted the ethereal body.

Hmm~ The melting point of void creatures is not constant.

It wrote down this knowledge.

It continued to interrupt its thoughts, and through the knowledge it had gathered, Vikz deduced that the World Runes were the source of the magic of the Runeterra, the essence of the world.

As long as you master the world rune, you are equivalent to mastering this world. What happens when the essence of the void is infused into the essence of the Runeterra?

The watchers will be of great interest.

This information is precious.

At this time, the Void Swarm Consciousness passed a message to Vikz that the Canyon Vanguard had been defeated.

The data of the infected body needs to be recycled in order to create a more powerful infected body.

.........

The hole was small, but it couldn't be overwhelmed, and Vikz shrunk his body and went underground.

It came to the crater lake and saw the traces of the battle, as well as the charred exoskeleton of the canyon pioneer.

(No more than one day after the end of the battle)

The odor receptors on its tentacles smell humans.

(The smell of humans, it is they who kill the infected)

One of its tentacles held up a piece of iron scattered on the ground, and its purple one-eyed scanned it, and it learned that it was a fragment of some kind of explosive.

There was also the smell of elemental flames in the air.

Vikz deduced that the Canyon Vanguard had been lured out of their shelter, battered by the explosion, and finally burned to death by elemental flames.

That's pretty much it.

But it's not enough, and information is always full of uncertainty.

All it does is transform uncertain information into definitive knowledge.

It commands an ethereal spirit to approach, and these low-level void creatures are both cannon fodder and the basic nodes on the hive consciousness network.

A tentacle pierced the ethereal eye, piercing its brain.

Vikz reading its memories:

{Special human beings, dressed in clothes that do not belong to any civilization and speak languages that do not exist in the world}

One of the females aroused Vikz's curiosity, as she possessed a great talent for frost magic, perfect appearance by human standards, and most importantly, the skin on her right hand covered in a void carapace.

How does the Void coexist with humanity for mutual benefit?

Another male also intrigued Vikz, who recognized that the energy surging through his body belonged to the astral plane, but he was not a Celestial Warrior, nor was he far less powerful than a Celestial Warrior.

He wasn't even a Shurima, how could he possibly gain this power.

Where does the energy in him come from? How was this energy used by him?

Who are they? Where do they come from? Where are they going?

These questions are so valuable.

Knowledge comes from problem solving.

For it, the solution of the problem is equal to the decomposition of the object!

Vikz gave the order, and the ethereals dispersed to find what it was looking for.

The Ethereals are unable to carry out overly complex commands, but what Vikz has to do is simply observe with the eyes of the Ethereal Spirits in the hive consciousness.

This requires a lot of computing power, but Vikz has a biocomputer-like brain.

The efficiency of the ethereal spirit was good, and in a few moments, a mountain of garbage was piled up in front of Vikz.

A mangled corpse caught Vikz's attention, and the costume he was wearing indicated that he was from the same place as those men.

The corpse was mangified, but the time of death was short, and Vikz was still able to get information from his brain.

Hatred, jealousy, anger, low self-esteem, fear.

and the desire to mate—for that female.

(Inferior and primitive emotion, worthless.) ）

After being bullied, verbally abused, and beaten, he hid in the corner and wiped his tears, thinking about how to retaliate but never dared to act.

(Scrap)

A settlement, interconnected, small apartments on the rise. and a pair of middle-aged individuals, for whom they have a special significance.

These are the most profound memories, so Vikz was the first to read them.

Vikz dives into the depths of the Sea of Memory, but encounters some difficulties.

(Well, the brain is damaged, and cells die of hypoxia.) Deep memories are buried, but it's not hard to deal with. ）

Its tentacles secrete gel into the skull to help decipher the brain.

What was seen next shocked Vikz:

It saw everything modern society had – fighter jets whizzing through the air; an aircraft carrier sailing on the rough seas; a huge mushroom cloud over the Gobi Desert; artificial satellites in geosynchronous orbits; Rocket ....... erected on the launch stand The reinforced concrete jungle is subject to heavy rains all year round, linking the city's network...... A supermarket for humanity.

Vicz converts the one-sided read into a link between the two sides, so that it can experience it all from Liu Xiaoxiao's point of view.

Another universe, one with completely different underlying rules, may be a new food.

(How did they travel through time and space to the other universe?) Like us? ）

Vikz continued to rummage through Liu's memories. Human technology only aroused its curiosity, and did not surprise it too much - the Void has also invaded some technological planes, and the technological level of this world is considered to be medium to high.

But it was extremely curious how they got here. Trans-astronautic navigation is never something they can do.

Even the Void can only sail across planes, and hundreds of attempts across the universe have only succeeded once. The only time it succeeded, only a brief message came back: Don't open the door! Don't open the door!! Never open the door!! The corrupted world is dormant with terrifying spirits eager to devour the universe!

Vikz decided to report everything about the unknown world to the Watchers and try to open a passage to their world.

It protrudes the remaining tentacles into the skull through the eardrums and nostrils, ensuring that information is not lost during transmission.

If the Eye of the Void gains all of Liu Xiaoxiao's memories, the backstory will be leaked, the Void will know everything about the future, the historical process of the Runeterras will be affected beyond recognition by the butterfly effect, and the Void will eventually swallow the entire world.

However, the next moment, Vikz's analysis was interrupted, and Liu Xiaoxiao's memory was very anxious, and these already weak memories had been completely lost with death.

Vikz only learns that one of humanity's games is vaguely related to their world.

It began to probe their world, trying to get the coordinates.

Liu's little stupidity may have saved tens of billions of people, but his meagre knowledge of astronomy does not contain basic information about the solar system. Even if the Void breaks through the dimensional wall, it will probably not be able to search for targets based on the characteristics of galaxies.

Vikz withdrew his tentacles.

(The analysis is complete, no more valuable information is obtained)

Vikz came to the conclusion that they were humans from another universe, intersected here by a momentary overlap of time and space between the two universes.

They trek through the desert to survive, then prepare to enter the city, take part in the killing of the Celestial warriors, destroy tents in the Void War, and make their way underground.....

The curiosity that comes from Vikz is incomparably deadly.

Their luck is very good, and they can always survive the gap of fate.

(Their good fortune ends here)

After Vikz floated away, Liu's necrotic brain was activated by the Void Energy......

He suddenly opened his cloudy eyes, which shone with purple light.
