Chapter 18: The Coming Void War

The first stage is the offensive phase of the Void, which has been since Shurima's eruption. All the way to the north, devouring all the forests, grasslands, and lakes along the way, transforming organic matter into vicious void creatures, a terrifying purple tide rushed towards the Shurima continent, and was about to overflow the Acacia Peninsula, this is the most dangerous moment, the void has the same infectious power as a virus, once it spreads to the entire Shurima continent, Shurima will definitely be defeated. Luckily, Shurima organized a reliable line of defense here, and after great sacrifice, he stopped the Void.

Among the battles that took place during this phase were the Continental Defensive War, in which Shurima established a strong defensive system at the bottom of the Acacia Peninsula, preventing the Void from entering the heart of the continent and buying time for reinforcements and the transformation of the country to a wartime system.

Several Defensive Battles: A steady stream of troops are thrown into the defensive line to fight the Void.

The second stage is the stalemate between the two sides: the Void tries to break through Shurima's defenses, in the stalemate phase, Shurima pays heavy casualties, countless heroic warriors fall on the wasteland of Acacia, but the surviving warriors are familiar with the Void's combat methods and grow into veterans, Shurima fights stronger and stronger at this stage.

Among the battles that took place during this phase was the Landing of Belvis, where the Void successfully swallowed the port city of Belvis, and the emotions and memories of all its inhabitants gave birth to the Void Empress Bervis, who was born in the Sea of Lavender. According to the clues on the map, Bervis may have been a port city on the Ishtar Peninsula or a mermaid abyss

At the same time, the Void tried to open another crack at the foot of the Giant God Peak and flank Shurima left and right, but was sealed by the Dragon King because it involved the interests of the Star Spirit.

Battle of the Gold Coast: Tayanari and Sephox lead 7,000 of Shurima's Golden Legion soldiers against the Void's landing, and at the cost of heavy casualties and total annihilation, they succeed.

Shurima should also ask the world for help, the Crystal Scorpion Clan of Skana, the Elemental Dragons of Runeterra, the Elemental Mage of Ishtar, the realm of the Ruined King on the other side of the ocean, and even all the creatures that exist in the Runemar Land may participate in the war against the Void, after all, if Shurima fails, the whole world will be doomed.

The third phase is Shurima's counteroffensive phase: the iconic event is that Naizuk raises a monolith fortress and advances south with Shurima's air fleet, covering the Void with heavy fire along the way, opening the way to the Great Void Rift.

The battles that take place at this stage should be: a counterattack that destroys a large number of Void creatures through a quick assault on the Void, reversing the balance of power between the two sides, and allowing Shurima to enter the counteroffensive phase. Advance south with the power of a monolith fortress and an air fleet.

Several Battles: With the help of the indiscriminate bombardment of the air fleet and the devastating magic of the Monolithic Fortress, the Shurima Army was able to advance to the vicinity of the Great Rift and begin the final battle.

The fourth stage is the decisive stage, and the battles that take place should have the following ones.

Downed Monolith Campaign: The Void has thrown unimaginable resources into the crash of the Monolithic Fortress, and the Ascendant Natsuk flees in disarray.

The battles that took place at this stage were the Battle of the Great Rift, in which the spirits of the Prophet Twins were crushed by the Void Watchers who looked up through the Veil of the World.

An underground raid that may coincide with the battle to seal the Great Rift: Horlock the Ascendant was the first to pierce the Blade of the Underworld (later acquired by Cassadine) into the despicable heart of the Void, allowing the Ascenders present to see the way to defeat the Void and go deep underground to fight to the death against the Void one by one. It is also likely that Aatrox will go underground with the main force.

Empress Setaka's Death: While the Ascendant is deep underground, there must be someone on the ground to hold on, and it is very likely that the ground is already in an extremely dangerous situation, forcing the Empress to participate in the battle herself, but on the eve of victory, she is killed by the Void with the Worm Sea tactic.

Finally, there is the final stage, which is the hunt of the Void creatures involved in the Shurima Empire, and the results are almost fruitless: Acacia is still entrenched by the Void creatures and has become a paradise for monsters, and the underground of the Shurima Continent is hollowed out by the Void creatures, and Lexus leads the Retreat Beasts to hunt caravans here.

Most likely, it was because Shurima had paid so much in the Void War that she didn't even have the strength to kill the remaining Void creatures.

Of course, the difficulty of the void creatures is also partly the reason, with the immortal life, they can go deep underground to sleep. The Void Creatures that Burried the Shurima Continent should have been after the failure of Azir's Ascension - it was impossible for the victorious Shurima Empire not to invest in monitoring and regularly clearing the Void creatures to prevent the Void from returning. But the outbreak of the Darkspawn War changed all that.

On one side are the heroes who fight against the Void: Aatrox the Sword Demon of the Darkspawn, Raast the Scythe of the Darkspawn, Varus the Arrow of Retribution, Nasus the Desert Reaper, Desert Butcher Renekton, and Aurelian the Dragonlord of the Starcast. Thor, the lava monster Moffett (appears as a monolith fortress!) )

There are also two characters hidden behind the scenes: Kieran and Jax.

In addition to the heroes, there are the Ascended Queen Sertaka, the Logistics Nurse Zolani, the Ascended Horlock, and the Ishtar Ascended Nezuk.

All the Darkborns in the twilight of the gods: Tayanali and his brothers Ennakai, Sephix, Yoshiokantus, Suyuyan, the Prophet Twins Shabeck, Shabeka. Giant wolf Serbo Taru. Naganeka from Zurita (most likely the source of the Serpent's power.) Varieva (most likely Aatrox's sister), Monila who was killed by Nasus himself, and countless nameless Ascended Ones who are not mentioned.

On one side are the heroes of the Void: the Void Retreat Beast (Lexus is the queen of Axey, referring to the current Lexie, and there must have been a queen of Axy during the Void War), the Void Marauder (a mantis-shaped void creature that can be understood as a low-profile version of Kazik), the big bug Kogas, and the Eye of the Void (Vikz and his compatriots) who appear as a commander. It is also very likely that Bervis was involved in the Void War.

In addition to these heroes, there are also void creatures that are not mentioned in the plot: monsters such as the Mourning Beast and the Suffering Beast, and the flying Void creatures that appear to fight against Shurima's air fleet............

Aatrox's lines read: On the once noble battlefield, my war cry pierces the silence, and my light resists darkness...... I am shaped by the pure beauty of starlight and astral spirits. I was a concrete light and reason. Guarded the world in the most majestic wars.
