Chapter 47: Aatrox, the Ascended God

"The void strikes, and everything is annihilated."

"When the Sun Church in the capital of Shurima heard the news, the whole city was terrified."

"Queen Setaka is well aware that the void invasion is likely to bring devastating disaster to the world."

"So I made a prompt decision and decided to personally lead thousands of Ascended warriors and a hundred thousand troops to support the frontline battlefield."

"Before she set out, she asked the most powerful god-warrior among the Ascended to go with her to provide assistance."

"His name—"

"Aatrox."

"I just wrote a lot of background stories, and now I'm finally getting to the point."

When Liu Ciping saw the paragraph Su Xinghe had just written, he immediately showed an expectant look.

It's not that the battle scenes just now were boring, but
Without the appearance of the protagonist, I always feel that there is a lack of sense of involvement and immersion, just like watching a documentary, but without a lot of passion.

“The Void was released, and not only did the mortals suffer, but even the invincible Ascendants were devoured. Perhaps at this moment, the nature of the war has changed.”

Liu Ciping savored it carefully.

This imaginative setting similar to that of an alien civilization greatly aroused his interest.

It is infinitely close to science fiction, yet full of fantasy.

At this moment, he was also wondering what kind of existence "void" was.

Logically speaking, since it has the ability to devour everything, why doesn't it invade Runeland directly, but instead requires a human summoning ritual?

Is there some kind of limitation?

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out. He could only shake his head helplessly and continue reading.

Chen Kaige clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Finally I know his name - Aatrox. It sounds very powerful."

As he spoke, he exclaimed again: "Even the Empress Wu of the Empire personally invited him, which reflects his nobility and power from the side."

"I guess Su Xinghe's explanation of 'light' will start with this Aatrox."

"And 'darkness' comes from the void."

"Do you believe it or not?"

"Don't be happy too soon. I don't think this matter is that simple." Jiang Tao suddenly poured a basin of cold water on him.

"You have to understand that he ended up being transformed into a giant sword and imprisoned in a dark cage. His ending was very tragic."

"Isn't this how the battle between light and darkness should be? Sacrificing the small self to save the big self, this is the true hero of light."

As he said this, Chen Kaige's expression became more and more excited.

He felt that the logic of this story was perfect, and he even thought that Su Xinghe had conceived it this way.

"Director Chen's words make sense."

"Yeah, that fits the theme perfectly."

"I don't know if that Ascended hero is Aatrox."

"I don't think so. I have reminded you before that you can't guess what Su Dada is thinking."

"Then keep watching and let the facts speak for themselves."

"Icathia, the Void Battlefield."

"The dead silence of destruction and annihilation enveloped the ruins, and terrifying void monsters continued to emerge from the ground."

"The Ascended Legion led by Empress Valkyrie Setaka arrived and immediately joined the battlefield, engaging in a fierce battle."

"That's it."

"Icathia's uprising against Shurima has turned into an all-out war between the Ascended and the Void."

The Shurima Ascended Legion.

Except for Nasus and Renekton who stayed in the capital, almost all the Ascendants joined the battle. Purple lightning and black clouds rolled, and the cracks in the void were like angry eyes and endless abysses.

It makes people feel palpitations and uneasiness.

The void monsters have twisted bodies and terrifying faces. They do not possess intelligence like any other creatures in Runeterra, but instead have the instinct to destroy and ruin.

On the battlefield.

The Ascended Legion formed an impenetrable line of defense.

At the forefront is the Valkyrie Queen Setaka, wearing a battle robe, a crown on her head, and holding a legendary cross blade.

On both sides stood the most powerful god warriors among the Ascended Warriors, Aatrox, Rhaast, and Varus.
Following the order given by the Empress Martial, the army of ascenders shuttled through the terrifying purple mist waves like meteors, their figures flickering and sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

Queen Setaka led the way, her cross blade swirling and dancing on the battlefield like the scythe of death, the blade energy emitting bright light, turning into light and shadow, reaping the lives of the void monsters.

Aatrox swung the Blade of Holy Light with great force, like a god of war descending. The blade shone like the scorching sun, and his combat skills were sophisticated. The destructive power touched the void creatures, and they were instantly reduced to dust.

Rhaast swung his giant scythe as if it could cut through space. His body was agile and strong, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he moved forward bravely, invincible.

Varus' bow and arrow were as fast as lightning, and every shot was extremely accurate. The arrows made a strong sound of breaking through the air, as if tearing the sky and the earth apart.

This battle.

It lasted for more than several decades.

The air was filled with smoke and blood.

The battle was so fierce that the sky was dark and the sun and moon lost their rays.

Faced with endless void monsters, thousands of ascenders suffered heavy casualties, and only a few survived.

The Empire's Empress Setaka also died on the battlefield.

Until the last moment, the Ascended General Horok stepped forward, holding the Blade of the Underworld, and with the courage to risk his life, he rushed towards the endless darkness in the void crack.

He inserted the Underworld Blade into the deepest part of the Void's lair and successfully pierced the heart of the Void.

This feat gave the ascenders present a glimmer of hope, and they found a way to defeat the void monsters.

So, the ascenders rushed towards the void monster's lair one after another, regardless of their lives.

After a thrilling and desperate effort, Aatrox and his comrades repelled the void monsters, curbed the crazy expansion of the void, and melted and sealed the largest rift.

"Oh my god, the void battle is so exciting."

"It's so scary. It took more than ten years to decide the winner."

"The Ascended suffered heavy casualties, with only a few survivors. Shurima was badly betrayed by Icathia."

"Only the powerful Ascendants can survive. The deaths of the weaker ones are inevitable. There will always be some cannon fodder."

"It's really heartbreaking. The Empress Wu also died on the battlefield. I feel a little sad."

"This just reflects how powerful the void is. Who can suppress them?"

"I'm very curious, where are the Protoss at this time? They actually ignored this. After all, these are our hard work, and they just watched them die tragically on such a large scale?"

"Is it possible that they are behind this?"

"They are afraid that the Ascendants will become too powerful, so they will take this opportunity to weaken their power."

“It feels unlikely.”

"The Void was sealed again, and the Ascendants became the heroes who saved the world."

"But unfortunately——"

"Their blood is infected with the void corruption."

"Since then, Shurima's national power has plummeted."

"But hundreds of years later, under the leadership of Azir, it regained its glory."
