Lux's Farewell

764 [0753] Prophet
If these towers are alive, then the contradictions Kalya saw before... would not be a problem.

Looking carefully at the living tower in front of him, even Kalya couldn't help being amazed for a moment.

Very thoughtful.

It can only be said that there are too many ideas.

Although the time is too short for Kalya to fully understand the nature of this thing, judging from the current situation, these towers can also be regarded as a kind of "rune tree".

Well, let’s call it the Rune Tower!

The difference between these rune towers and rune trees is that the process of absorbing power and creating energy cores has nothing to do with plant growth, and it is not slow at all.

It can even be said that on the contrary, their growth momentum is astonishingly fast!
Through the rune tower itself, the power was extracted from the earth, and then quickly transported to the top of the tower, condensed into a black bead. During the process of Karya's circle around the tower, the black bead on the top of the tower was obviously bigger. in a circle.

Uh, wait, something seems wrong...

Looking at the magic circuits and imprints on the surface of the rune tower, Kalya was finally startled, and hurriedly bent down and looked at the base of the rune tower.

Then, at the base of the tower, he saw a cardiac arrest.

The rune tower is half buried in the restricted area.

But what buried the rune tower was not soil, but a lavender substance that seemed to be muscle fibers and slowly wriggled.

It is the entity produced by the "earth" of the void plane after entering Runeterra, a breeding ground for the birth and growth of void creatures, and the saliva secreted by the eternally hungry void.

In the Shurima Empire, it is known as the void essence.

And in Icathia, the fissures they fill are called... hernias.

In other words.

These things that Karya unilaterally named the Rune Tower just now were placed on small hernias one by one!
What a blast this is. Ever since Icacia Mage King used the power of the void to cause the destruction of Icacia, Carya has never heard of anyone who dared to use the power of the void!

It's not a matter of guts anymore.

This is simply killing it!
At this moment, all the previous doubts about the restricted area were finally revealed.

Why is this place designated as a restricted area, and it is generally covered with a super-large space enchantment regardless of the cost?
Because it is necessary to cover up the fact that there is a hernia here and the use of the power of the void, otherwise, once this matter is known, there may be a large group of dark descendants rushing towards them shouting and killing.

Why can't Carya understand many things about the Tower of Elements?

Because Kalya had never studied the power of the void at all, he only felt specious about many things in the Tower of Elements.

Why can the Ixtal people create a super-giant element gradient enchantment that can cover the entire country?
Because they used unconventional power as a source of energy, unlike the Icathians who used to summon the void to fight against the Shurima Empire, Ixtar chose a more insane way to use the void!
Looking at the rune tower in front of him, Kalya felt mixed feelings in his heart at this time. He never thought that those who had experienced the Icacia War and the Chaos of the Void would choose to develop The power of the void.

What madness this is!
The person who designed the Rune Tower used the power of the void to partially activate the monolith, and then quickly purified the monolith, stripping away the power that the void used to erode the monolith to form a purer energy source. During the process, the monolithic elements carefully researched by the Shurima Empire became a "filter" for extracting void energy.

Taking advantage of the insatiable nature of the void, and the fact that the void must convert food into a "digestible state" before "eating", these rune towers infinitely use the power of the void, making these hernias a supply The window of energy continuously filters the power of the void into those black stone energy sources that can be used by people.

If you don't consider the flood of the void, this is undoubtedly a very genius idea.

But since Kalya knew how the void existed, after understanding its operating principle, Kalya only felt terrified!
Whoring for nothing?

Stop it!
The last person who thought he could prostitute the Void for nothing was the Mage King of Icacia. He believed that the Eternal Flame could restrain the Void, so he could "control" the Void and fight back against the Shurima Empire.

And what was the result?
Small-scale void infections can indeed be cleared by the Eternal Flame, but when the passages of the void and Runeterra are opened, those small flames that flicker with incandescent light can only be extinguished quickly after a few flashes. The fire was exhausted, leaving only the only fire, which was carefully preserved by the current Icathia Autonomous Committee.

The Mage King of Icacia didn't even realize that when he thought that the void could bring him a great victory, he had already fallen into the trap of the void and became a believer of the void.

He thought the void was his tool.

But in fact he is the tool of the void.

And now, within the forbidden zone of Ixtar, the power of the void is harnessed once again.

This time... who is the tool?
........................

From Malzahar's point of view, these stupid Ixtars are the tools to guide the Void back. ,

This is not only because he is the Prophet of the Void, who is eager for the Void to appear on Runeterra again, but also because he has now become the leader of the radical faction of Ixtar, and he is ready for a great sacrifice.

Although the current Malzahar is a "Great Element Envoy" externally, in fact, element mage is not his first profession.

Malzahar's first job was as a prophet.

In Shurima under the scorching sun, prophets are rare, but they are not pure folklore.

When those who possess extraordinary talent for time magic wander in the long river of time, their amazing talent occasionally makes them jump out of the water unconsciously, and then in the reflection of the long river of time, they glimpse the past or the future.

Thus, a prophet was born.

That's what Malzahar is.

However, it is a pity that, as the only son of an elderly grocery peddler, when Malzahar discovered his talent, his parents were already terminally ill.

This was not the time of the Shurima Empire, where showing talent did not earn Malzahar a bursary, and he lost both of his parents in the midst of hardship.

As a result, the young boy lost his soul and had to fend for himself on the streets of Amakra.

The thin and clumsy Malzahar didn't know how to fight with people, and he didn't know anything about pickpocketing. Under the torment of hunger, he finally chose to do fortune-telling in the slums in exchange for a few coins or a few slices of bread.

Among the many people who can jump out of the long river of time in a short period of time, Malzahar's figure is the most flexible. Even looking at the long history of the Shurima Empire, there are only a handful of people who surpass him in time magic.

Therefore, Malzaha's "divination" began to become more and more accurate, and his reputation began to grow louder.

Whether it's marriage or wealth, whether it's looking for people or things, Malzaha can always glimpse a few fragments from the rippling time ripples at the moment when he breaks free from the shackles of time and leaps horizontally.

And these fragments, coupled with some flexible words, are enough to make a fortune teller in a slum all the way up to the guest of governors everywhere.

Malzahar doesn't have to worry about wealth anymore, in this case, he only needs to worry about himself.

However, no matter how many unknown secrets Malzahar can glimpse in the long river of time, he still can't see his own destiny clearly.

It seemed that Malzahar's future was shrouded in a lavender mist, elusive.

Apart from himself, Malzahar could not see the future of Runeterra clearly.

Because during his long divination career, Malzahar observed the uneven distribution of wealth, and witnessed those who were dissatisfied with their lives fighting for each other with malice and violence.

Although everyone's fate seems to be very clear upon closer inspection, but when everyone's fate is intertwined, the result can only be chaos.

To make matters worse, the nature of this chaos is a never-ending cycle of pain, caused by countless people.

As a fortune teller, Malzaha was not satisfied with this answer, an indescribable emptiness and loss enveloped him, causing him to fall into pessimism and despair, and he even left Amacra by himself.

He intends to find his own destiny, and hopes to see the fate of Runeterra clearly on the journey of pursuing his own destiny.

Unwilling to spy on the fate of others, Malzahar began to live in isolation. He walked farther and farther until the sand turned into grains of salt, until he reached Icacia all the way.

Zilean's time locks were ignored by him, and he wandered around those locked spaces, crossed the Icathia region, and went deep into the place where the void first responded.

Here, he felt unprecedented heart palpitations.

It seems that in the dark, I will get all the answers I want here.

So, Malzahar sat cross-legged among the ups and downs of the earth, staring at the depths of the rugged abyss, opened his wavering thoughts, desperately longing for enlightenment.

And then... the Void answered him.

Malzahar's spirit became a beacon across time and space, once again providing direction to the insatiable void.

In response, the Watcher's will caressed the shattered oracle's soul, barely reining in its own greed from engulfing him entirely.

In an instant, the wonderful and indescribable power originating from another world filled Malzaha's everything, from body to mind.

After an unknown amount of time, a lone figure finally walked out of Icacia, floating around the maze that made him uneasy.

This time, Malzahar is no longer a simple human being. He has changed from a "prophet" who peeked at the world through time to a "prophet of the void" who has found his mission.

In the will of the Voidwatchers, Malzahar saw the end of all earthly suffering he had ever seen.

During this process, he finally realized that the reason why he still couldn't see his future was because this illusion was his real calling: to let this world enter the doomed annihilation as soon as possible.

That's right, being swallowed by the void is the future of Runeterra.

Therefore, he, who learned the truth first, must return to the crowd.

Malzahar wants to tell the world that the holy nothingness will welcome everyone, whether they believe it or deny it, and treat them equally.

He will be the herald of this great redemption.

Using the power bestowed by the Void, he summoned Void rifts in remote villages to wreak havoc.

And through these tragedies, he successfully threatened many villages to sacrifice cattle and sheep to avoid disaster-and these flesh and blood will further nourish the cracks he summoned.

With his tireless efforts, a religious order that believes in the void, believes that the void will swallow everything, and aspires to be the forerunner who merges with the void was finally born.

Malzahar, who learned the whole story of the Icathian War, controlled the size of the cult well to avoid attracting undue attention.

This is not fear, but caution.

After all, in Runeterra, there are still many stupid people who resist the void, and he needs to prevent his great plan from being interfered and destroyed by these people.

Even though some pawns had already summoned a huge void rift, and even sent part of the monitors to Runeterra, the result was that the rift was completely closed.

Malzahar decided he needed a little more savvy.

At least he needs to figure out what that air fortress that bridged the gap in the void is.

He needs to be ready for everything.

It's a pity that too much of the Shurima Empire's past has been submerged in the yellow sand, and Malzahar was unable to find relevant information about the Monolith Fortress.

Until one day, in Kumanggra, his followers discovered the "holy object".

The so-called holy objects are just a few gold coins contaminated with the air of the void. There are quite a few of these things in the desert of Kehalise.

But when this kind of gold coin appeared in Kumanggra, Malzaha rushed to the scene as soon as possible.

Through these gold coins, he discovered a secret transaction. The target of the transaction was a black stone with a little bit of void breath.

Following these stones, Malzahar found Ixtar all the way, and after killing a hapless guy, he sneaked into this ancient jungle empire with his identity.

Then, like Kalya, he set his sights on the Tower of Elements.

In order to enter the Tower of Elements, Malzahar studied elemental magic assiduously, and finally obtained the status of a great elemental envoy, and officially obtained the authority to enter the Tower of Elements, and even presided over a monolith picking ceremony in the restricted area.

There, Malzahar saw the future he longed for.

　Everyone must pay more attention to your health!
