Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

"But I've been looking for them for ten years! If they weren't dead, how could I not find them?"

Listening to Kassadin's story, Zuo Chi couldn't help but feel bitter. For an ordinary person like Kassadin who didn't have mental power, both Icathia and the Void were too vast.

Ten years is a long time, and without a great coincidence, it would be extremely difficult to meet Kai'Sa, especially since Kai'Sa's appearance and name have completely changed.

Looking at Kassadin with a complicated expression, Zuo Chi asked:

What are your plans for the future?

"Let's continue hunting void creatures."

Kassadin added without the slightest hesitation: "Until the day I die!"

Zuo Chi tilted his head and suddenly smiled at Kassadin: "I have a friend who wears Void armor. When you're killing Void creatures, don't accidentally hurt her."

"Hmm?" Kassadin asked, somewhat puzzled. "Is your friend... cursed by the Void?"

Zuo Chi shook his head: "No, she was just forced to wear that armor because she had to fight the void. She is still a beautiful and kind girl."

After listening to Zuo Chi's description, Kassadin's curiosity deepened even more. He had the utmost respect for those warriors who fought against the void.

"What does your friend look like? I'd like to meet her if we meet in the future."

Zuo Chi's smile grew wider and wider. He put his arm around Kassadin's shoulder and flew upwards with him without looking back.

"I'll take you to meet her. Once you get to know her, there won't be any more misunderstandings."

"This"

Kassadin hesitated for a moment. He had originally intended to continue fighting the Void, but seeing Zuo Chi's enthusiastic manner and remembering that Zuo Chi had just saved him, he finally agreed.

With Malzahar's death, the void creatures in the rift have become extremely sparse. Zuo Chi led Kassadin and flew towards the top of the rift.

As the surrounding purple light gradually dimmed and the white light gradually brightened, Zuo Chi and Kassadin arrived at the edge of the rift.

On the ground, the area within several miles was now completely filled with the corpses of Void creatures. Aatrox stood side by side with the members of the Darkin Legion, their eyes warily scrutinizing the crack in front of them that no longer saw any Void creatures emerging.

Beside them, Kasha's eyes were filled with worry.

She knew better than anyone how dangerous the void was, and Zuo Chi had been deep inside the rift for a long time; she was genuinely worried that Zuo Chi might encounter danger.

She even tried to rush into the crevice to find Zuo Chi several times, but was stopped by Tiratu each time.

As time went by, Kasha grew increasingly uneasy. Fortunately, at that moment, two figures standing side by side slowly flew out from under the crack.

Upon seeing Zuo Chi, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

To their surprise, there was another person beside Zuo Chi, but this person was completely shrouded in a strange suit of armor.

The moment Kassadin appeared, Aatrox and the other Darkin were jolted, but Kai'Sa didn't pay attention and immediately ran towards the left pool.

Rhaast looked at Aatrox beside him: "Aatrox, the Blade of the Underworld!"

Aatrox stared intently at the Nether Blade on Kassadin's arm, then slowly nodded without saying anything more.

But from Aatrox's eyes, it was clear that he cared deeply about who owned the Blade of the Underworld. If the other party was a petty thief, he would kill him without hesitation.

He had already sensed the aura of the Netherworld Blade, but he never expected it to be in the hands of such a weak human.

After Zuo Chi carried Kassadin out of the rift, Kassadin looked at everything before him, and an extremely strong look of horror appeared in his eyes.

There were so many corpses of Void creatures that the entire land was piled high with them, and the deaths of these Void creatures were extremely gruesome, with almost no intact bodies.

Kassadin was certain that if it were him, even dealing with the few void creatures inside would be extremely difficult.

Kassadin looked at Zuo Chi beside him: "What happened here?"

As Zuo Chi flew towards Aatrox and the others, he gestured towards them with his chin, saying, "My friends did it."

Kassadin: "."

Just as Zuo Chi flew out of the crack, a tall and slender figure rushed towards him.

Zuo Chi turned around and was immediately embraced tightly by Kasha.

Zuo Chi was somewhat taken aback by Kasha's sudden hug. He quickly pulled open his robe to shield Kasha from his body.

He hadn't forgotten that Kaisa's armor would automatically dissipate upon contact with his Ascension power.

This could be a nice little playful gesture between him and Kasha, but it can't be seen by others, especially...

Holding him like that, Zuo Chi gave Kassadin a somewhat awkward smile.

Kassadin looked at Zuo Chi, who was suddenly hugged by the girl, and just smiled understandingly.

He raised his hand and ruffled Kasha's hair, then said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm really not hurt."

Let me introduce you to someone.

Huddled inside Zuo Chi's clothes, Kasha noticed her lapse in composure, and a blush crept onto her pretty face.

Although she had hugged Zuo Chi several times before, this was the first time she had hugged him in public like this. She could only blame herself for being so worried about Zuo Chi that she lost her composure.

After breaking free from Zuo Chi's embrace, Kassadin looked at Zuo Chi's side with some curiosity.

"Zuo Chi, who is he? Why did you all come out of the crevice together?"

Before Kasha could finish speaking, she suddenly noticed that the figure in front of her, completely shrouded in armor, was trembling, which made her even more puzzled.

Upon seeing this, a complex expression appeared in Zuo Chi's eyes.

He gently patted Kasha's hand, his tone incredibly tender:

"Kasha, I remember you told me that your father wasn't swallowed by the Void with you. Have you ever considered that he's been searching for you all along?"

"!!!"

Upon hearing Zuo Chi's words, Kasha's body swayed violently, and an extremely incredulous expression appeared on her face.

She turned to look at Kassadin in front of her, and at that moment, Kai'Sa heard Kassadin's hoarse and trembling voice:

"Child, can you tell me your name?"

Hearing Kassadin's hoarse, inhuman voice, Kai'Sa's heart suddenly trembled for some reason.

She looked at Zuo Chi beside her with a bewildered expression, not understanding why she felt this way.

Zuo Chi gave Kasha an encouraging look: "Kasha, tell him your old name."

Kasha's heart was pounding with excitement, and she murmured softly:

"Keisha, my former name was Keisha."

The moment Kasha's name was uttered, she saw the man in front of her suddenly buckle and nearly fall, his body trembling more and more violently.

Seeing this, Zuo Chi, who was standing to the side, felt somewhat gratified.

Although they hadn't seen each other for ten years and had gone through countless hardships, this kind-hearted girl still found her only remaining family in the world.

However, just when Zuo Chi thought Kassadin would recognize Kai'Sa, he suddenly saw Kassadin turn around abruptly and walk quickly in the opposite direction.

"!?"

Zuo Chi's brows furrowed sharply, and he flashed in front of Kassadin:

"Her name is Keisha, her name is Keisha, didn't you hear me!"

Kassadin looked at Zuo Chi, who was blocking his way, and shook his head repeatedly, his voice trembling with obvious signs of crying.

"I know, I know everything. But I need to leave now."

Seeing Kassadin's behavior, Zuo Chi's confusion deepened. He didn't let Kassadin leave just like that: "Why? Do you know she's looking for you too?"

Kassadin's eyes were filled with pain; he seemed to be constantly escaping reality.

"But I... I'm no longer worthy to be his father. I should have died long ago, along with his mother."

Zuo Chi grabbed Kassadin's arm, and just as he was about to say something, he heard Kassadin's choked cries from behind him and Kassadin.

"You're the father, right?"

Feeling the throbbing in her heart, and hearing the conversation between Zuo Chi and Kassadin, how could Kassadin not recognize that the person in front of her was the only relative she had been searching for for ten years?

Hearing the sound behind him, Kassadin swayed again, almost losing his balance.

Zuo Chi sighed and said softly, "Have you ever thought that no matter what you become, Kasha will never despise you? All she wants is to find her family."

This time, Kassadin did not refute Zuo Chi, nor did he take another step away.

A few breaths later, Kassadin turned around and looked at the girl behind him.

"Keisha, you've grown up and become even more beautiful."

Tears streamed down Kai'Sa's face as she approached Kassadin, her voice filled with the grievances of a daughter towards her father:

"Dad, where have you been all these years? I've been looking for you all this time. Why don't you come looking for me?"

Hearing Kai'Sa's words, Kassadin felt a pain in his heart that made it hard for him to breathe.

After a long silence, Kassadin finally spoke softly, "My child, if your father becomes a monster despised by everyone, will you still recognize me?"

Over the years, Kassadin has walked the line between life and death countless times. He has killed countless Void creatures and has thwarted the Void Cult's plans to destroy human villages on numerous occasions.

But what followed was the erosion of him by the void.

Despite wearing equipment that could block the aura of the void to the greatest extent, he was still just a mortal. After being deep in the void for a long time, the evil power of the void still severely corroded his body.

His appearance has undergone tremendous changes.
