Chapter 153: The Void and the Ascended, Void Watchers of the Freljord

Icathia disappeared completely, nothing existed.

It should be said that Jax is the only trace of Icathia left in this world. The torch staff in his hand is the last light of Icathia and the last hope of Icathia.

And Kieran and his tower have traveled outside of time, including the Ekassia people he rescued.

Now drifting between past, present, and future, bending and twisting time around him, Zilean has traveled through time, from Runeterra's mysterious birth to its seemingly inevitable end, searching for any thread of fate that might allow him to undo the destruction of his homeland.

……

This disaster was truly heartbreaking. The ancient civilization was wiped out without leaving any trace.

"But is this the fault of those Icathians?"

During the commentary section, Jiang Wen asked the audience with a microphone in hand.

This is what everyone thinks after watching the film: Whose fault is this disaster? Is there any way to avoid it?
"It seems that the Ekassia people released the void and caused this disaster!"

But the void is only the direct cause. Hidden behind this disaster is a greater disaster!

The power of the void and ascension are powers that do not belong to mortals. Therefore, those who are blessed by the sun disc are called ascenders and are called god warriors!

The Void destroyed Icathia, and the Icathians and the Shurimans on the battlefield, including the god-warriors, were all killed because it was a force that the Icathians could not control.

But what about Icathia and the kingdoms that were conquered by Shurima? Their calamity was Shurima, and the god-warriors of Shurima!
Axam, the mage king of Icathia, once hoped to coexist peacefully with Shurima, but the expanding Shurima Empire turned a deaf ear to this, and Icathia's army was defeated by the god-warriors of the Ascended Army.

It is for this reason that Icathia is full of hatred towards Shurima. If the Shurimans had not sent out the god warriors in this war, Icathia would not have released the Void!

“So in the end, let’s get back to this question!”

"Where did Shurima's ascension power come from?"

"Under whose orders did Shurima construct the Sun Disk?"

"Where did the first ascender obtain the power of the astral realm?"

This is the biggest question lingering in the minds of all viewers.

It was they who gave the Shurimans powers that were not mortal, and it was they who caused this disaster!
……

Let’s continue to watch the big screen, hoping that the biggest culprits behind the scenes will be revealed in the subsequent plot!
And in the film that continues to be shown, this disaster from the abyss has not yet ended!
After the void swallowed up Icathia, it did not disappear, but spread across the crumbling land, destroying all living things it encountered.

This is no longer a war for mortals!
The Shurima Empire learned of this horrific disaster from the distraught deserters, and the nine god-warriors sent to quell the rebellion all died in the war against the Void.

They immediately realized that the greatest crisis in the empire's history had occurred!
If the Void is not destroyed, the Shurima Empire will not be able to escape the fate of the Icathia Kingdom. So, under the leadership of the Ascended Lord War Queen Setaka, the most powerful Ascended gathered together and prepared to completely eliminate this disaster.

Aatrox also agreed to Setaka's request and led his army to Icathia.

Initially, the powerful Ascendant Legion thought they could easily destroy the Void. After all, they had ruled this continent for thousands of years and had never seen any force that could challenge them. In their view, the chaotic descriptions of the mortals were just exaggerations after being frightened. Then they encountered this terrifying force, and under the leadership of Setaka, the Ascendant Legion began to fight against the Void.

The ruins of the place once named Icathia shocked them. This was an unprecedentedly powerful enemy for the god-warriors. The power of the void was no less powerful than the power of ascension. Even these ascended warriors who had lived for thousands of years perished in this war.

But they are still a group of noble warriors. In order to keep the Void out of Shurima and prevent Shurima from falling into the same fate as Icathia, the god-warriors, led by the Queen of War, fought against the Void one after another!

This war was far more horrific than the previous war between Icathia and Shurima. Icathia was already a ruin, and under the influence of various inhuman forces, this land was completely changed.

At this moment, looking at the twisted, weird and indescribable void creatures on the screen, someone finally remembered where they had heard the name of the void before. It turned out that everyone had seen them a long time ago!

"It's in the Freljord!!!"

"It's in Willump's memories!!!"

These void creatures have also appeared in Freljord, and they appeared just as long ago. In the memory of the Yeti, they seem to be enemies of the three sisters!
The Yeti tribe disappeared in that war, leaving only Willump as the Yeti.

All the power is used to seal these void creatures. In Freljord, they are called Void Watchers!
And now, they are sealed under the Howling Abyss, and Lissandra, the leader of the Frostguard tribe, is guarding here!

——"Damn it!! Void Watcher!! Sure enough, those things in Freljord are also void!"

——"Where do all these things come from? Do they all come from underground?"

——"What happened in the Freljord before?"

——"Oh my god! This world is too dangerous! These Void Watchers are frozen in the Howling Abyss!"

——"It seems that Lissandra is leading the Frostguard tribe to guard the Howling Abyss to prevent the Void Watchers from coming out!"

It was only then that the audience discovered that the foreshadowing of the Void had already been buried in the story of Nunu and Willump. All the audience were extremely shocked!
It was as if I had just learned that this world had once faced a crisis of near destruction!
And everyone is looking forward to the story of Freljord more and more! There is no such thing as an ascender on that ice field!

And it seems that the Void Watcher was only sealed by Zhenbing and not completely destroyed!

Only then did everyone truly understand what Zilean saw outside of time: the end of everything, the end of Runeterra.

……

After years of hard fighting, Aatrox and his compatriots finally curbed the crazy expansion of the Void and melted and sealed the largest rift.

But the Ascended who survived - the Blood of the Sun, as they called themselves - were forever changed by their enemies. Though Shurima had triumphed, they all had lost something... including the noble Aatrox.

They witnessed horrific things with their own eyes, and then became horrified and often burst into nameless anger.

The War Queen Setaka was also seriously injured in the war. Even the power of ascension could not heal her from the damage from the void. In the end, as Nasus had said, he sent Setaka to sleep forever in the yellow sand, and her weapon, Charikar, was placed on her chest.

This war dealt a heavy blow to Shurima, but fortunately the Ascended Ones did not completely disappear, and the Sun Disc was intact. The Shurima Empire was still able to produce new god-warriors to maintain its rule!
As a civil servant, Nasus did not participate in this battle. Instead, he began to study books and knowledge from all over the world in the Great Library, trying to find out what had happened to his brothers and sisters who were also immortals, and what impact this incident would have on the future.
