Chapter 16: The Coming Void War.
After arranging Ludwig's affairs, Lan Yu asked him, "Are you going to our world?" Our team is technically five people, and you are three people. If you go with us, you will enter our world. ”
Blue Feather immediately told Ludwig about the mechanics they had learned.
"What's next for your Overworld? I remember you've already erupted past the Void............"
"Void War! The war between Shurima and Acacia! The great battle that tore apart the entire Acacia Peninsula! ”
“scheiße!! If you want to die, don't pull me! Ludwig rushed out of his native language, and Blue Feather understood.
"Do you just say go or not? I'm stuck! The winner of the entire war was Shurima, and I weakened the Void in the Void Explosion! It's not so dangerous anymore. Lan Yu explained, "I need your help, there are two people in my team who are dragging their feet, and I and Lan Yu and Lynn can't join the Void War in this situation. ”
Ludwig sighed: "I helped with this favor, but now my strength is not enough, I need to go back to the world of DNF to experience another world, and the grasp will be greater!" Let Lynn come along, it's not a problem for him to stay on the Darkstar all the time! Also, give me a mental resistance bracelet to prevent Kazan syndrome. ”
"What's your next world? It's not going to farm goblins, is it? ”
"It depends on where the Space-Time Gate leads, and there are two of our stable and continuous worlds - the Demon Realm of Terra in the ancient times, and Arad at the beginning of the timeline. In addition, there are scenes that can go back through the Space-Time Gate, such as the Gran Fire, the beginning of Kahler, and these places. ”
At this point, Ludwig turned the conversation back to the Void War: "Tell me what you're going to do?" ”
"Void Wars"
This dialogue is from the story "Twilight of the Gods", which is narrated by the protagonist of the story, Tajanali: "Sephix, my brother, we fought against the monsters of the Abyss, which poured out of the underwater rift on the east coast, and we fought for ten days and ten nights until we reached the limit of our endurance, but we finally repelled them. We are coming back in triumph! "Seven thousand of the golden warriors of Shurima died on that red beach. Only you and I returned alive. 、
The passage is also from this story: a description of a pair of twin ascendants: the prophet twins huddled together, whispered, and threw the little bone fragments around. In the battle to seal Acacia's hernia, their minds were crushed. Anyone, not even a god, who makes eye contact with a huge spirit beneath the abyss, is bound to be disintegrated by his mind.
A backstory from Varus: In the early days of the Acacia War, Varus's hometown was attacked despite being far from the Cursed Lands. The other guards left their posts to defend the surrounding villages, but Varus remained alone in the temple. Every arrow fired was accompanied by a heart-wrenching roar as he chose to keep his oath instead of returning home to protect his family. When the emissaries of the Ascension found him, they saw him kneeling among the corpses of his enemies and meditating in solemn silence. It is said that his icy gaze makes even the Celestial warriors feel uneasy. Despite this, in recognition of his valuable dedication, they invited Varus to join the ranks of the Ascended.
A backstory from Aatrox: When the Ascended Warrior Setaka asks for his help because of Acacia's rebellion, Aatrox does not hesitate to agree. However, no one could have predicted that the local rebels would later unleash such a terrifying force. The Void turned against each other in an instant, devouring Acacia, and then began to destroy all living beings in its path. After years of hard fighting, Aatrox and his compatriots finally stopped the Void's frenzied expansion and sealed the largest rift.
A story from Nasus, "The Bloodline," is about the death of Empress Setaka: a desert practitioner once told her that one day, a king from Shurima would rule the world. These words made her think that she was invincible, because we were the ones who conquered the world. However, she was overwhelmed by the monster of the night before Acacia's doom. I held her in my arms and watched her light go out little by little, and finally I sent her to sleep in the sand. Her weapon was placed on her chest and buried with her.

A backstory from Moffett: From the moment the Void tore through space and entered the realm of matter, Shurima's army has welcomed a new enemy that not only teaches the great empire to be humble, but also grows stronger. The power of the Fallen spread rapidly from the ruins of Acacia, surging and boiling on the ground and at the bottom of the sea, finally reaching out to Ishtar in the jungle at the southernmost tip of the continent.
A member of the army of the Ascended, Nazuk was once an Ishtar elemental mage, with the power of a mountain and an arrogance unmatched. He asked the Emperor to create a powerful weapon against the Void and completely eradicate the source of the Void's initial eruption.
After months of unbearable human labor, Nazuk unveiled the Monolith, a floating fortress and a living monolith, maintained by a group of the greatest elemental mages, and on its ramparts, aboard other Ishtar warriors. The monolith, the size of a city, floats slowly from the sky towards the wasteland of Acacia. The Demon Suppression Crystal continued to shoot lightning bolts downward, smelting the yellow sand below into glass. Nezuk and his superweapon arrived at their destination, once again confronting the endless howls and bottomless darkness of the Abyssal Realm, and the hordes of Void Monsters it had created—all annihilated by the endless energy of the fortress.
The battle lasted for several weeks. It was violent and on a scale never before in Runeterra. The sorcery they use is enough to flatten an entire civilization, or turn an entire continent into a memory, and it is such a power that is all unleashed and inflicted on the body of the Void.
