Void Beetle Evolution Guide

The Darkin are battling the scorching flames of judgment, yet they cannot draw nourishment from the flesh and blood of their slain enemies. Furthermore, the constant summoning of the Golden Legion by the Guardian Angels is pushing the battle toward an increasingly dire situation.

This is a tough war of attrition. Victory depends on whether the Darkin can defeat the two Protoss of Justice before they fall.

Seeing the Darkin's miserable state, Kai'Sa even reached out to touch the so-called Burning Sinners' Fire... but before she could feel any pain, the flames went out.

This further solidified her belief in her innocence, proving that even righteous Protoss can make misjudgments.

But she wouldn't give them a chance to admit their mistakes. These self-righteous guys would never admit their mistakes, much less think they were wrong.

Kai'Sa's gaze swept back and forth between the two Protoss, assessing their strength and considering which one to take down first.

“I remember you. You alone are no match for me.” Aatrox faced Kyle, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He remembered being banished from Demacia by Kayle, whose sister Morgana was also there, and the two of them worked together to defeat him.

Although Mihira is from Mount Targon, her daughters grew up in Demacia.

At that time, the flames of the Rune Wars raged across the land, and Mihira and her husband, Qiram, embarked on a perilous ascent to the summit in order to gain power and save their tribe from destruction.

During the journey, Mihira realized she was pregnant, but she chose to continue. At the summit of Mount Targon, she was chosen to become the sacred vessel of the Protoss of Justice.

Soon after, the two sisters were born, but Mishira's maternal instincts were overshadowed by her divinity. Ziram, fearing her, took his daughters and left the dangerous land, crossing the ocean to a new home, which was the still-infant Demacia.

As the two sisters grew into young women, a streak of fire flashed across the sky. A longsword, wreathed in celestial flames, pierced the ground between Kyle and her sister, splitting them in two.

The two sisters each grasped a sword, and wings instantly burst forth from their shoulder blades. The residents believed the sisters were blessed by the stars and revered them as winged guardian deities.

Even now, hundreds of years later, Demacia still worships the two sisters, and even prints the wings of guardians on their banners.

“That was hundreds of years ago. I am not the same person I was then.” Kyle pointed his sword at Aatrox, showing no sign of weakness.

This action brought back more details for Aatrox. Kayle seemed to have taken the other half of the sword from Morgana, and then suddenly unleashed her power to barely repel him.

Now, Kyle's sword is intact. So, has that half of the sword still not been returned?

"Very well, I acknowledge your abilities. But where are your sisters?"

"It's better not to mention her."

Seemingly drawn by the question about an unpleasant experience, Mihira also turned her gaze. Kyle, unwilling to answer, launched the first attack, swooping down on Aatrox like a blazing inferno, hoping to silence him by throwing himself into the battle.

Kayle thrust forward with her sword, but Aatrox parried it with her own. Then she unleashed a wave of flames, the scorching heat of which caused the surrounding air to refract due to uneven density, making it appear as if space itself was being distorted.

Aatrox was not overconfident; he also unleashed a deadly sword aura. The blood-red sword aura collided with the golden flame wave, and the resulting shockwave swept away the surrounding messengers like a whirlwind.

But amidst the aftershocks, Aatrox couldn't find Kayle; she was gone. Just as he was searching for her, darkness suddenly fell overhead, and then he saw Kayle descending from the sky, sword in hand.

A sharp sword pierced his shoulder, and flames spread along the wound, evaporating the foul-smelling blood that flowed out.

Aatrox glanced at the flames on his shoulder, ignoring the pain, and unleashed a terrifying roar that made Kayle stagger. He then grabbed Kayle's legs and flung him away, crashing into the ground and creating a deep crater.

An angel fell to earth, her white wings covered in dust. Her helmet fell off, revealing short white hair and an indomitable face.

Before the living greatsword could strike, Kyle rose and dodged the heavy blade, casually casting a spell to heal his injuries and return to immaculate state, his wings scattering golden light.

However, the next second, she saw a helmet flash in front of her, with three narrow eyes staring coldly at her.

Such speed! Such close distance! Before Kyle could react, Kai'Sa grabbed him by the neck, pressed his head down, and slammed him down.

The head, unprotected by a helmet, slammed into the rock, instantly spraying blood.

Seeing this, Mishra wanted to go and help Kyle, but Zolani blocked her way.

"Stop looking, you should take care of yourself first." Zolani brandished her blood-red chain scythe, casually provoking the serious-looking Protoss.

“I know about your deeds,” Mihira said. “Your initial intentions were good, but unfortunately you were taken advantage of and ended up carrying them out badly.”

"So what? Can you start all over again?" Zolani said unhappily.

Mihira shook her head: "If you are willing to atone, I can forgive your soul."

Both being Protoss of Justice, Kayle abandoned her humanity to fully embrace divinity, going to the opposite extreme from her sister Morgana. Meanwhile, their mother, Mihira, seems to retain a sliver of humanity.

Yes, but not many. We can only verbally forgive her; Zorani has already sacrificed so many people, she cannot escape death.

"Ha, not a shred of sincerity. I'll send you away first, and you can wait down there to reunite with the Twilight Protoss!" Zoranny had no way to turn back, nor did she want to.

She transformed into a streak of blood-red light and charged towards Mihira. The two clashed fiercely in the sky, locked in a fierce and inseparable battle.

Beneath them, Kai'Sa spun out a blade of light and held it to Kayle's eyes, threatening, "If I had used a knife from the beginning, you would be dead by now."

“Perhaps you’re right,” Kyle replied expressionlessly, “but even if you kill me, another righteous Protoss will come to punish you.”

The Protoss are merely the chosen agents of the Titans. When one dies, the power is taken back and replaced by the next. There are countless mortals who eagerly climb Mount Targon, hoping to become Protoss. Killing Kael'thas does not solve the problem at all.

"Withdraw your troops immediately, and I'll spare your life!" Kasha snapped. She didn't know how powerful the Celestial Realm was, but if both sides could compromise, she didn't want to be in a position of complete confrontation.

"War is no child's play; today it's either you or me who dies."

Kyle suddenly folded his wings to shield himself, and Kai'Sa slashed down with her light blade, only to hear a clang of metal on metal—her weapon had been deflected! (The last two lines appear to be random characters and are not translated.)

Then Kyle suddenly opened his wings with a "boom," and the wings hit Kai'Sa, making her feel as if she had been struck by steel, and her arm hurt.

On

Chapter 448 The Successive Fall of the Dark Ones

After repelling Kai'Sa, Kyle took to the air again, his longsword pointing at her: "You could have killed me by surprise. Some opportunities, once missed, will never come again. Remember this lesson learned at the cost of your life."

In response to Kyle's threat, Kai'Sa replied, "If I can get close to you once, I can get close to you a second time. Besides, I'm not the only one who doesn't like you."

As soon as she finished speaking, a withered curse power was injected into Kyle's chest, causing her heart to stop abruptly in excruciating pain, and her body to sway precariously.

Nasus joined the battle, which meant he had no way out.

"That's enough. I can handle her myself. Don't interfere."

Aatrox was somewhat annoyed that so many people were competing with him for the same opponent. He took a step forward and shoved Kyle aside, taking her away from the attack range of Kai'Sa and the others.

Zoranny and Misella were in a one-on-one fight. If it turned into a group brawl on his side, even if he won against Kyle, it would be an unfair victory.

Kayle was knocked away by Aatrox, and the Curse of Wither rendered her powerless to stop him. She rolled hundreds of meters across the ground, looking utterly disheveled.

To break free from the curse, she shouted and split her longsword in two. Both swords burst into flames and turned golden.

Her silver armor transformed into brand-new golden armor, and wings burst forth from behind her. Her original white wings were dyed into six golden wings, and she exuded an aura of truth and punishment.

She spread her wings and beat them powerfully, and soon the wings were also ignited with sacred flames, a scene that inspired awe.

"The sacred fire will cleanse you!" Kayle swung his twin swords in a cross motion, unleashing an even thicker and faster wave of flame that engulfed Aatrox in front of him.

Aatrox was repelled, but Kael's twin swords continued their onslaught, each swing unleashing a wave of golden flames. Only when Aatrox roared and hurled his fiery chains at Kael, sending Kael's relentless attacks flying, did the barrage cease.

"It's such a bizarre competitive drive."

Kai'Sa was exasperated. Since Aatrox wanted to deal with Kayle alone, she would let him have it. She would go and cause trouble for the Heralds, and not let them keep summoning the Golden Legion endlessly.

She deactivated the bio-battery, elytra sprouted from her arched back, and flew toward the Guardian Envoy, firing plasma cannons from both hands in succession, knocking him down and closing the portal.

This move attracted a large number of messengers who, like swarms of flying ants, formed a golden sphere that trapped Kai'Sa.

Fireballs flew everywhere, and it seemed like Kasha had no way to avoid them, but she escaped with a simple teleportation and continued to cause trouble for the next Guardian Angel.

Just then, the first Darkin fell.

Because of its enormous size, Balkux was besieged by too many winged messengers. Unfortunately, its host was a sacred tree, and once the flames of judgment were ignited, they burned endlessly, causing Balkux to collapse in endless agony.

Its body turned to ashes, leaving only the weapon itself.

Similarly, the mother fish also suffered a fierce attack. The number of enemies was more than three times that of the fish, and they were still increasing.

Once it is unable to fight, the Darkin below will likely face even greater pressure, as their speed in clearing out enemies is far slower than the speed at which the Guardian Angels can summon their legions.

There aren't many Darkin that can pose a threat to the divine messengers. Varus was already trying his best to aim, but the chaotic flying messengers obscured his vision, and their interference made him busy defending himself.

Horaz was in the same situation; he unleashed lasers and lightning, but the number of enemies around him did not decrease at all.

In this situation, unless Azir himself arrives, only the Avatar of Arcane Arts can handle it, but that person has already turned into a golden statue.

It's hard not to suspect that the Protoss of Justice deliberately waited until Xerath was sealed away before revealing themselves.

With the Darkin barely able to protect themselves, the heavy responsibility of taking down the Guardian Angel fell on Kai'Sa's shoulders. Only she was able to easily break through Chongchong's blockade and threaten the Guardian Angel.

Sephiroth would occasionally transform back into the Abyss Calamity to strike the enemy, and she couldn't always expose her true form, as being attacked by thousands of fireballs simultaneously was no joke.

The fierce battle continued into the night. The battlefield was turned into a sea of ​​fire by the bombardment of fireballs, and even the night sky was illuminated by golden flames, as bright as day.

Kai'Sa shot down at least a hundred Guardians of the Law, effectively curbing the number of the Celestial army, but some Darkin still perished.

It's Zolani!

She was no match for the righteous celestial spirit Mihira and fell to the ground like a burning meteor, unable to get up for a long time.

However, Zoranny wasn't entirely useless; she pushed Mishira into the second stage.

In this form, Mihira abandoned her human body and appearance, becoming a pool of flowing, golden liquid metal. Her six wings became fuller, and each wrist joint had a narrow, golden eye.

The liquid metal radiated outwards, extending countless sharp spikes. From these spikes emerged six arms, entirely formed of condensed light, forming sacred hand seals. The head transformed into a suspended ellipsoid, its original eyes becoming swirling vortexes radiating light.

Sacred and majestic, but even more so, awe beyond comprehension; this posture should not exist in the mortal world.

After Zoranny fell, no one could withstand Mihira's attacks. Nasus might be able to, but he can't fly.

Seeing this, Kasha had no choice but to step in herself.

"Do you also want to challenge me?" Mihira's middle arms clasped together, and a voice emanated from within her body, each syllable accompanied by the vibration of liquid metal.

Despite being enveloped in the roar of the elytra, Kasha could still hear her voice clearly; it was like the declaration of the gods, layer upon layer, constantly vibrating her eardrums.

"I don't think you're qualified to judge the world, at least I disagree!"

"Everyone has their own sense of justice, and as long as you fight for justice, you are right."

"Then you should immediately call it quits and wait for the Darkborn to resolve the conflict before returning on their own."

"The Darkin should never have been awakened in the first place. All I'm doing now is bringing back escaped convicts. What's wrong with that?"

"You weren't there when Aatrox was slaughtering mortals, but now that he's repented, you've shown up. I really don't know if you're here to end the conflict or to escalate it... There's a saying, 'Justice may be delayed, but it will never be denied.' But what good is delayed justice?"

Kaisa grew angrier the more she talked. The Protoss always appeared when the world was in danger, but they didn't care why the world was in danger.

They are watching over all living beings from heaven, yet they do not extend a helping hand in time. They only appear after a large number of lives have been sacrificed, just to harvest the faith of the remaining mortals in their despair.

They didn't intervene during the Void War, nor during the Curse of Ruin, and they only came out to clean up the mess after the Darkin War had lasted for over a thousand years.

This kind of utilitarian justice is not worthy of being called justice.

In the eyes of the celestial gods, all creatures on earth are nothing more than leeks that can be harvested once and then immediately grow back again.

Their tacitly accepted way of survival is to let the world constantly cycle between disaster and prosperity.

Those who were sacrificed can only accept their bad luck.

"You are not worthy to be a god!" (The last two lines appear to be random characters and do not translate directly.)

Chapter 449 The Death of Mihira

There was no point in saying more than necessary, so Kai'Sa aimed her cannons at Mihira and fired both of hers simultaneously.

The Protoss of Justice formed a hand seal, and flowing liquid metal created a shield in front of her, perfectly blocking the oncoming missile and the subsequent explosion. Immediately afterward, a gilded blade emerged from it and shot towards Kai'Sa.

Kasha blinked and retreated rapidly. A purple vortex formed behind her, and the flying sword followed her into the spatial rift. The next moment, it reappeared behind Mishira and shot straight at her.

Using spatial warp, Kai'Sa altered the position and vector of her flying sword, directing it toward Mihira. But less than a finger's width away from her, the gilded sword abruptly stopped, its blade trembling violently and emitting a clattering sound.

The Protoss of Justice, with their combined offense and defense, posed a slight challenge for Kai'Sa. She repeatedly warped, creating dozens of spatial rifts around Mihira and connecting them with threads to form a net that trapped Mihira within.

Next, she only needs to use the silk threads to pull these cracks together and then detonate them. Even if the resulting gravity cannot suck Mihira into the hole, it will at least tear her apart.

However, before Kaisa could pull the rifts together, Mihira formed hand seals with all six arms, and twelve gilded flying swords appeared one after another in the order of the clock's markings, wildly unleashing a storm of blades that severed all the void threads binding her.

Her relaxed and carefree demeanor made it impossible to tell how much power she had used or how much she had left. However, Kai'Sa didn't have many moves left; her opponent was a Celestial, and she couldn't easily use World Runes.

She summoned the Wild Hunt to assist her. A demonic claw appeared out of thin air, its palm splitting open to reveal a single eye that shot out a cleaving ray.

The liquid metal formed a shield again to block the rays, while Kai'Sa took the opportunity to approach. Her trembling blade sliced ​​through the void, slicing off one of Mihira's wings along with the space itself, annihilating it into the endless void.

Having succeeded in her first move, Kai'Sa tried to repeat the tactic, but Mihira, who was exchanging beams with the Wild Hunt, suddenly turned her shield around. Liquid metal from outer space formed a smooth mirror, refracting the cleavage beams toward her location.

The stinging pain from her armor set off alarm bells in Kai'Sa's mind, forcing her to use Time Acceleration to barely escape the area. The Winged Messenger and the extraterrestrial six-legged dragon, struck by the Annihilation Ray, melted easily, like candles touched by the flames of a high-temperature blowgun.

"Cough cough." Zolani's charred corpse suddenly coughed. She opened her eyes and saw that Kassa and Mihira were locked in a stalemate.

Kaisa's attacks were ineffective against Mihira, and Mihira also had difficulty touching Kaisa.

Meanwhile, Aatrox was being heavily suppressed by Kyle.

Kyle was clad in golden armor and wielded a pair of twin swords, each radiating flames. After Mihira transformed into an archangel, she passed on her flaming sword to Kyle, further enhancing her power.
