With Kalya's departure, Jax and Shyvana began the boring work of watching surveillance. The sand paintings were constantly changing. They needed to carefully watch every detail to ensure that the "key people" marked by Kalya were always there.
within one's own field of vision.
Kalya himself left the city of Ixoken and once again came to the restricted area of Ixtal.
The anchor point he left in the restricted area last time is still effective at this time. For him, this place, which is strictly guarded by the Ixtar people, is already a public toilet. He can come and leave whenever he wants.
On the one hand, this is very convenient for Karya, but on the other hand, it also means that for other people, the defense of the restricted area is not very reliable. Karya can treat this place as a public toilet, which makes no sense for others.
no.
Although the space barrier can isolate space perception, its level of confidentiality is second only to opening a personal sub-plane, but if you really have bad intentions and want to bypass this barrier, as far as Kalya knows, there are at least three or five methods.
.
Therefore, this restricted area may not be as reliable as it seems.
When he was monitoring Malzahar alone, Kalja was too busy to keep an eye on the restricted area. Now with Jax and Shyvana helping to watch the surveillance, he can finally enter the restricted area again and wait for work!
Malzahar, who was under surveillance, did not know that he had been targeted at this time.
In fact, this prophet of the void not only seems to be very honest recently, but is actually very honest - when Kalya was worried about him making any little moves, he actually didn't make any little moves.
Since he became the inspector of the restricted area, he has been carefully studying the many documents and information about the restricted area that he has access to, trying to figure out the operating rules of the restricted area.
However, even though he was already a genuine Great Elementalist, Malzahar still had a headache when reading information about restricted areas.
This seemingly simple barrier is actually quite complex. From energy supply to operation, just the theory of elemental magic involves many professional fields such as element concentration, element transformation, and element insulation.
In addition to element theory, applications of modular primitive axioms abound.
If Malzahar cannot crack the core principle of its operation and instead uses violent means to destroy it, the result will be that the self-destruction system of the restricted area is activated and the entire restricted area is erased by the monolith.
Yes, although Ixtar, who dared to use the void to "activate" the monolith, was very popular, they did not expect that a space barrier could completely block possible dangers. In order to avoid causing another Icathian war,
In addition to the barrier protecting the restricted area, they also designed a complete self-destruction system.
There is only one core of this self-destruction system, which is "Once there is an uncorrectable error in the operation of the restricted area, the entire restricted area will be completely destroyed. Even if there are monitors who take the opportunity to enter Runeterra, they will be strangled."
After learning about these secret files, Malzahar realized that the original choice to use the space barrier was not only for safety, but also to separate the entire forbidden space from Runeterra when the self-destruction program was activated.
Placed in the turbulent flow of space.
According to the designer's calculations, in the chaotic space, even if a void army on the scale of the Battle of Icathia arrives, it will not have any substantial impact on Ixtar!
To be honest, when he read this paragraph, Malzahar was really frightened into a cold sweat. He thought that becoming the monitor of the restricted area would allow him to act at will and cultivate a group of void armies based on the restricted area, but he never expected that
, the restricted area actually has such a self-destruct system!
If Malzahar's previous plan is followed... then the entire restricted area will really self-destruct in minutes, and it will really be self-defeating by then!
From this point of view, the people who originally designed the restricted area were really ruthless. As long as the situation exceeded expectations, the entire restricted area would be completely destroyed. No matter what, Ixtal could not be allowed to become the second Icathia.
After realizing this, Malzahar calmed down on the spot.
He secretly made up his mind that before he knew everything about the restricted area, he would never act rashly!
……………………
Since Malzahar did not act rashly, the question becomes, what exactly caused the large-scale insect infestation in Icathia?
Could it be said that there are really high-level traitors in the review committee of the Icathia Autonomous Council?
However, even if Kieran ended up personally and even conducted a "limited time and space review", the results still showed that everyone was innocent - in other words, no one in Icacia took the initiative to contact the void.
Moreover, it was completely different from the previous insect waves. In this void insect wave, Kieran saw a large number of void insects that he had never seen before. Moreover, these void insects looked quite fragile and had just left the void rift.
Soon after, he killed himself.
Self-destruction in the true sense, the kind that kills you as soon as you kick your legs.
Kieran was confused and tried to figure out the details of these void insects. Could it be that their corpses were some kind of incredible nourishment that could nourish the void army?
However, after much research, Kieran's only discovery was that these void insects that died suddenly looked like they died of heat stroke, which was strange.
In Kieran's impression, void creatures are very adaptable. The appearance of such a heat-dead void insect can only be described as unbelievable.
This discovery had to make him have some doubts, wondering whether there was some huge conspiracy brewing in the void.
It was precisely because of this discovery that Kieran chose to stay in Icacia temporarily to avoid being caught off guard if something went wrong.
After all, unlike the previous insect tides, this one seems somewhat unreasonable. From its emergence to its development, everything seems to be weird, and people have to be careful and guard against it.
But in fact, what the confused Kiran didn't know was that it wasn't just Ionia that had an abnormal tide of void insects.
At the same time that an abnormal insect tide appeared in Ionia, more and more void creatures in the Howling Abyss of Freljord were obviously mixed with many that were not adapted to Freljord.
Types of snowfields.
Just like the void creatures that were killed by the heat in Icathia, many void insects in the Howling Abyss were frozen to shreds in the severe cold within a few breaths after breaking out of the void rift.
Then he was crushed by the friendly forces rushing past.
If Kiran saw this scene, he would definitely realize that this wave of void insects in Icathia was actually a completely unfounded disaster.
The culprit responsible for this insect wave was neither the traitors within nor Malzahar, who was still concentrating on studying the space barrier and forbidden circulation system, but the Freljord, tens of thousands of miles away.
Yes, the main reason for this insect wave in Icathia is actually the loosening of the seal of the Howling Abyss in the Freljord. Although the sealed monitors did not escape the trap, they continued to be transformed into dark ice as Zhenbing continued to
, now more and more void creatures have emerged from the cracks underground in the Howling Abyss.
Although Icathia and the Howling Abyss, one in the south and one in the north, can almost be regarded as the two poles of Runeterra, to the Void, they are both Runeterra.
Now that the monitor is awakening, and since Rune Land is waiting for the void to visit, a large number of void creatures will naturally set off one after another, driven by the monitor's will, into the void rift and rush to the unknown rune land.
But in the process of rushing, some void worms took the wrong exit. Some void worms that were adapted to the wasteland environment of the Icathia Desert entered the cracks in the Freljord and were frozen into ice sculptures; there were also some that adapted to Freyrjord.
The voidworms of the Erjord Icefield entered the rift of Icathia and died suddenly of heat stroke.
Even in corners where no one is paying attention, some void creatures have entered small fissures hidden in the sea of Runeterra, and then drowned themselves on the spot, becoming a delicious meal for underwater creatures.
The root cause of all this chaos is that the monitor who had just issued a "recruitment order" hurriedly went offline when the void creatures surged in. Without the command of the monitor, a large number of void creatures could only follow
Following the previous orders and acting on instinct, this led to organizational chaos in the Void Army.
So, here comes the question, why did the dignified supervisor go offline in a hurry when the seal was loosened?
The reason is also very simple.
In the Freljord, a great demigod, after discovering that the seal was loose, plunged into the Howling Abyss and smashed himself to pieces.
After that, a polar storm blew day and night on the Howling Abyss. The monitor's seal was temporarily strengthened, the monitor's command was briefly cut off, and the void creatures that emerged from the seal were also trapped in a brief
confusion.
This demigod who died in the Howling Abyss was Anivia, who was respected by all Freljordians.
In ancient songs, Anivia is an immortal existence. No matter where she dies or when she reaches nirvana, a phoenix egg made purely of perfect ice will appear in Frey.
Further north of Erdjord, in the Phoenix Nest in the far north land known as the Great Glacier.
And this is the main reason why Ashe said "the evil has been stopped" after returning to Larkstuck City with the remaining warriors - in that tragic battle, the Avarosans'
The main task is to hold the position and wait for Anivia's support to arrive.
After Anivia arrived, they withdrew from the battle with the approval of the ice crystal phoenix, leaving the subsequent battle completely to the demigod who had protected the Freljord countless times.
For Anivia, Nirvana this time is the same as countless times before, not only for these little people whom she is optimistic about, but also to protect Freljord.
As a natural demigod born in this wild land, the connection between Anivia and the Freljord is closer than people think - she is to the Freljord like
The dragon spirit is like the spirit world, both sides are completely one.
Therefore, whenever the seal in the Howling Abyss weakens, or a powerful void creature sneaks in, when mortal power can no longer solve these problems, Anivia will sacrifice herself without hesitation,
Enter nirvana.
Every time he dies, a terrible polar storm will be summoned. Under such extreme conditions, Lissandra will take action to strengthen the seal.
This is Anivia's mission, and it is also the oldest contract reached between him and the three sisters.
Even among the three sisters, Anivia is most optimistic about Avarosa, but when only Lissandra can execute the contract, she will not refuse for the sake of Freljord.
In this way, in each Nirvana, Anivia protected the Freljord, making it impossible for the void under the frozen soil to escape, and allowing the ancient seal to be reinforced again and again.
Unfortunately, Anivia didn't know that every time Anivia returned from nirvana on the great glacier, the color of the newly born phoenix eggs would be a bit dimmer.
Even though Anivia was reborn from a broken egg, she was still the pure ice crystal phoenix, but her phoenix egg was contaminated again and again by forces that did not belong to Runeterra.
Perhaps after this pollution reaches a certain limit, the Ice Crystal Phoenix will completely turn into a Dark Crystal Phoenix - at that time, once the seal is loosened again, the entire Freljord will completely collapse.
Of course, no one is aware of this yet, because the place of Anivia's nirvana is top secret. No one can see his phoenix egg, and no one will find out that the respected Anivia is suffering from terrible things.
of pollution.
The Freljord is now in the midst of the joy of surviving the disaster, because according to the laws of history, within a hundred years of Anivia's nirvana, the Freljord does not need to worry about the Howling Abyss.
, as long as the "overflowing" void creatures are eliminated, there will be no problem at all.
Just because Anivia's nirvana came a little slower this time, Ikasia also suffered an unreasonable disaster.
Of course, in addition to being an innocent disaster, this incident also revealed certain problems at a deeper level.
Now in the entire Rune Land, except for Kalya, I am afraid that no one has realized that fighting the void is not the responsibility of a certain force or a few forces, but the obligation of everyone.
The penetration of the Void into Runeterra is not limited to a certain Void Crack, but exists at every possible opportunity.
The seemingly menacing insect swarm may be just the aftermath of an unintentional disaster; the seemingly calm situation after the sacrifice may be just a temporary quenching of thirst.
Even those Titans who had just experienced a tragic defeat and were preparing to regain their strength did not realize that the Titan Peak under their feet might not be as safe and reliable as it seemed.
