Void Beetle Evolution Guide

“I have a feeling I can definitely do it,” Cassiopeia said confidently.

With the foundation of dominance in place, everything will unfold as much as possible in the direction she desires. If something is impossible, an ominous premonition will arise, prompting her to give up on her own. In short, trusting your intuition is the right thing to do.

As for why no one asked Diana why she didn't use the power of the moonstone, it's because besides suppressing the deep-sea monsters, the moonstone has another function: to seal the regeneration pool at the core of the array. Therefore, it's important to preserve the moonstone's energy as much as possible.

“Alright, then who will make the move? This place is so small, I can only summon one wonder for you,” Katarina said.

“Let me do it!” Leona said decisively. “Diana still needs to seal the rift. Let her save her power for the very end.”

Katarina nodded and began activating the intricate runes, quickly opening a massive golden portal at the bottom of the abyss. The dazzling light attracted the attention of the Void Deformed One, whose trembling eyes stared intently at it.

The actual size of the solar disk was much larger than Katarina had imagined, so she had no choice but to scale it down to a proportional size and project it back, hoping that its power wouldn't be reduced too much.

Even so, the enormous golden disc was stuck in the rock, its upper edge pressed against the ceiling of the cave, while its lower edge was embedded directly into the placenta. It was as if a giant gold coin had been thrown down by a colossus, enough to crush the ugly, deformed fetus.

"Damn it, I'm getting more and more confused about this battle." Sephie saw the sun disk behind her and immediately chose to retreat. Her once invincible massive size was no longer a unique advantage. Now, anything that came along was much larger than her. Size dominance was a thing of the past. The deep sea was clearly her home ground.

The moment Leona saw the sun disc, a long-lost joy appeared on her face. Although it was a symbol of another civilization, the power of the sun it contained was genuine.

Leona calmed herself and entered the depths of her subconscious, awakening the immense power of the world beyond Mount Targon. Mount Targon would no longer respond to her, and she felt a pang of disappointment, but remembering her current situation, she reached out a hand towards the Sun Disc.

Fortunately, the Sun Disc responded to her, and feeling that familiar celestial power reconnect her with the blazing sun, Leona raised her longsword to her eyes, assuming the pose of a knight in shining armor.

Then, the solar disk burst forth with intense light behind her, like a solar flare, engulfing everything in the deep sea, including the deep sea itself, in its blazing light and illuminating every dark corner.

The pent-up light gradually focused, converging into a beam of solar fire that roared towards the deformed monster at the bottom. The heat of millions of suns instantly melted its flesh and blood, and the hideous body rapidly evaporated under the intense light.

The seawater boiled instantly, and even the Wild Hunt was thankful that water's boiling point was only 100 degrees Celsius. Even with deep-sea pressurization, the temperature wouldn't be too extreme, otherwise even their own people would be cooked.

The Void Deformity let out a silent scream. Under the threat of death, it broke through the suppression of the Eternal Spear, its tentacles forcibly pulling the lightning spear from its eye, and then hurling it with unimaginable force.

The spear pierced through the sun disk, causing the enormous golden disk to shatter and collapse. Huge fragments rained down, forcing even Sephiroth to dodge rather than take the hit head-on.

The Void Deformity was severely damaged; nearly a third of its body was melted away, and charred marks from the high temperature remained at the edges of the wounds. However, it surprisingly gained the ability to feel pain, and driven by the pain, it went completely berserk, entering its second phase.

The thing was riddled with countless dense holes, like filthy pores filled with blackheads. Upon closer inspection, it became clear that these were chambers of bullets, firing plasma continuously upwards like machine guns. Countless plasma bullets ascended into the air, forming a dense barrage, a scene resembling a deathly fireworks display.

"Oh no!" Kasha reacted the fastest, realizing that the consequences of letting those plasma bullets hit her would be unimaginable, and immediately detonated them with an electric gun modified from a bio-battery.

She only intended to intercept the barrage of bullets, but the detonation triggered a chain reaction. The lightning detonated some of the plasma bullets, and due to the density of the bullets, nearby plasma bullets were also blown apart by the blast wave.

The explosion was like a domino effect, unstoppable. The chain of explosions created a sea of ​​fire, separating Kai'Sa and her allies from the Void Aberrant. The latter continued its relentless barrage of projectiles, with subsequent plasma bombs exploding upon entering the fire line, showing no signs of stopping anytime soon.

In just a few seconds, a dozen or so Nest Mothers were instantly engulfed by the barrage of bullets and blown to pieces. Kai'Sa was extremely grateful that she had detonated her weapon in advance enough; otherwise, if the front line had advanced towards them, they would all have been caught in the explosions.

The situation was dire. The successive explosions had churned the seawater into chaos. The large placenta, clinging to the seabed, remained unaffected by the currents, while the women had to endure the unpredictable impacts of the surrounding water, tossed about wildly as if they'd been thrown into a water jug. (The last part, "你咏在有咏想空你林在在没呢," is a nonsensical string of characters and doesn't translate directly. It's likely a result of OCR errors.)

"Watch out!" Before Kasha could think of a way to steady herself, Wild Hunt issued another urgent warning, the gnaws of the armor deeply stinging her skin.

Alarm bells rang in her mind, and she instinctively tore through the void and hid in a spatial rift. The next instant, several thick pyrolysis rays pierced through from the sea of ​​fire from bottom to top, and the fierce purple light indiscriminately annihilated anything it touched.

What's even more deadly is that the opponent's energy seems inexhaustible, like a flesh and blood fortress with unlimited firepower. Once these death rays are activated, they can't stop, sweeping back and forth like searchlights, cutting the underwater cavern to pieces, with huge boulders collapsing and falling.

Chapter 672 Illusion Inside and Outside

"Is it going to destroy this place? If this continues, we'll all be buried alive!" Kai'Sa was helpless as she watched the cave collapse, unable to stop the Void Deformation from destroying the environment.

"It can survive even if it's buried alive."

Wild Hunt can see what's below through the parasite. The monster that keeps firing missiles and lasers is like a wall of flesh and blood. Its wounds are healing rapidly, at a speed that can only be described as swift.

The fierce counterattack was merely a facade; the suppressive fire was simply a cover to buy time for recovery.

Under this onslaught, his fleet suffered heavy losses. The fish's restraint gradually weakened, and the tentacle monsters pressed forward again. They seemed to be learning as well, even knowing how to use their tentacles to toss their kin, coiled into balls, towards him.

Once coiled into a ball, the tentacle monster possesses extremely high resistance to attacks and can even withstand the brilliance of the moonstone. Once it gets close, these black balls will quickly unfold, like a large net, launching a scorched-earth attack before being melted by the light.

"Where's Syndra? What's Syndra doing?" Kai'Sa helped Nami deal with a few black orbs and noticed that their team's firepower was a bit off.

Syndra, one of the main attackers, was actually slacking off. She only used a forbidden spell at the beginning and then stopped. Katarina had to fill in for her with damage, and I don't know what she was doing.

She found Syndra, who was holding her forehead, looking like she had a splitting headache, much like she had at the beginning.

"Aren't you done yet?" Syndra didn't react, so Kai'Sa reached out and shook her shoulder hard.

The moment she touched it, she felt the surroundings darken instantly, and a heavy pressure rose in her mind. The silent weight pressed down on her, making it hard to breathe, and then everything seemed to blur, as if a thick fog had suddenly risen around her, blocking out all her senses.

Darkness engulfed her, as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss. At the bottom of the abyss, she saw a gigantic eye with several pupils splitting off, staring back at her without blinking.

Dark, coiled, tentacle-like limbs surrounded the giant eye, its gaze holding immense wisdom. Its gaze seeped into her, pierced through her, promising her unknowable power, should she raise her blade against these humans.

In that instant, Kai'Sa thought of Malzahar and Lissandra... Perhaps their first encounter with the Watchers was similar to this, and what was the result? The former's mind was completely enslaved by the Void, while the latter, although pulling back from the brink, paid an extremely heavy price and brought about extremely terrible consequences.

Kai'Sa rejected the giant eye's offer to recruit her; she already had the Wild Hunt. She didn't need more power; she only wanted to wipe out these monsters or banish them back to the Void.

Although the giant eye was incapable of making expressions, Kaisa sensed that it was enraged.

Those dark pupils began to split wildly. Watching this scene, Kasha's rationality began to crumble. The edges of her vision began to be surrounded by shadows, writhing and snaking, getting closer and closer, as if they were about to devour her.

Her soul was retreating, her heart was screaming, but she couldn't look away. She was in freefall, unable to control her body, and there was nothing around her to grab onto. Her mind was gradually becoming completely enslaved by that huge, terrifying, eyelidless single eye.

She fell straight into those dark pupils, repeating the endless fall. Each time she passed through a pupil, she felt as if a layer of the wall of her heart was being peeled away like an onion, again and again, from struggle to numbness... until the stinging pain of her skin pulled them back to reality.

"...You guys???" Wild Hunt didn't finish his sentence, but his voice carried an urgent question.

"It tried to control me, but I refused." Kasha raised her hand to indicate that she was alright, like a stranded fish suddenly awakened from the illusion, her heavy breathing sounding like bellows. This illusion was too powerful; she couldn't find a way to break free for the time being, and without the Wild Hunt's help, she might have been trapped inside.

She glanced at Syndra, who had also woken up, but her gaze remained vacant, as if she hadn't quite recovered. Kasha guessed that Syndra had suffered a similar fate; with her proud personality, how could she possibly submit to anyone? And so she was severely punished.

"Are you alright, Syndra?" Wild Hunt asked.

“That thing captured me with its gaze; its eyes can see through the fear in people’s hearts…” Syndra, whose pride was extremely strong, explained with a dry mouth, but her mind was elsewhere.

She could even hear a familiar voice. Suddenly, she felt incredibly grateful to have someone with her. If she had encountered this thing alone, there would have been no chance of escape. If she could, she wanted to hug Wild Hunt tightly right now and give him a big kiss.

“Alright then.” Wild Hunt, unaware of her inner thoughts, analyzed the situation: “It seems that maintaining the illusion requires concentration, so that guy hasn’t been using his eyes to emit beams, trying to turn Syndra against him with his gaze.” He paused and continued, “Now that the sea of ​​fire has blocked his view, the intensity of the illusion has naturally subsided, and Syndra has attracted a lot of firepower.”

"I don't need your help; I'll make it pay right now!" Syndra was secretly pleased, but still maintained a vengeful demeanor. (The rest of the text appears to be nonsensical and unrelated to the previous sentences.)

With a sweep of her gaze, she snatched up a huge fragment of the shattered sun disk from mid-air, using it as a shield to block the incoming barrage. With a slight flip, it transformed into a sharp-edged metal piece, which she then plunged into the flesh-and-blood fortress separated by a sea of ​​fire.

Several iridescent tentacles emerged from the series of explosions, which Syndra grasped with her mind and twisted into spirals like towels. Even the strongest muscles could not withstand the pulling force; flesh burst open like juice, and limbs fell back limply.

An embodiment of magic, possessing almost godlike talent—this is the performance Syndra should have, and what everyone expects from her.

"I will tear it apart with my own hands!" Syndra's words became law, and her eyes, which radiated dark energy, were gradually replaced by another light.

She parted the seawater with her hands, and the explosions caused by countless barrages were pulled back like curtains, exposing the flesh fortress, its body riddled with disc fragments, once again to her furious gaze.

How long has it been? Its wounds have already healed almost completely. The parasites planted by the Wild Hunt are frantically destroying the plasma-firing cannon barrels, but unfortunately, they have too little time to reproduce, and their numbers have not yet reached an exponential explosion.

The seawater... had emptied. The giant eye trembled violently, trying to comprehend this abnormal situation.

However, Syndra had already clenched her hands into claws without saying a word, and the surging seawater transformed into two enormous claws. The ten fingers, which were several miles long, plunged straight into the flesh and blood fortress and tore it open with a tearing sound, just like a piece of cloth.

Chapter 673 Sealed Regeneration Pool

The elemental forces obeyed the command, and the giant claw formed from seawater lashed out furiously. By the time Syndra had unleashed all her rage, the fortress of flesh and blood had been torn to shreds, unrecognizable from its original form.

"If only we had done this earlier, it would have been over." Sephie felt like she had wasted her time, while Kasha looked at the bits of flesh floating in the seawater, her brows furrowed so deeply they could have crushed a crab; this wasn't a complete kill.

"It's not dead yet," Wild Hunt reminded him, still able to sense a tremendous presence deep within this space. Moreover, the Void Deformed One's divine essence hadn't fallen out. (The last part, "你咏在在没我空你林在在在没呢…", appears to be unrelated and likely a separate, incomplete thought.)

Will divine essence... appear like an object? Wild Hunt himself wasn't sure. But if he saw the actual object, he was 100% certain he could recognize it.

Wild Hunt's words put the group on alert. Sephiroth cautiously flicked a huge eyeball with her tail. The eyeball rolled a few times, allowing Sephiroth to see its face clearly; the pupils were lifeless, making it look like it wasn't alive. The remaining remora rushed forward, frantically devouring the eyeball, but the pupils still didn't react, confirming its death.

Kasha thought it might have escaped into a spatial rift, but after tearing through the void and looking around, she still couldn't find it.

"Where did they go?" An invisible pressure swirled in her heart, making Kasha feel very uncomfortable.

"Never mind that for now, sealing the regeneration pool is definitely the right thing to do," Wild Hunt said. He wouldn't force it if he couldn't obtain the godhood; he had promised Kai'Sa to banish the void, and he would prioritize fulfilling that promise.

Kaisa descended to the edge of the regeneration pool, where liquid void energy flowed, making the surrounding rocks glow slightly and reflecting ripples from another dimension.

In her experience, this regeneration pool wasn't particularly large, yet the damage it caused was considerable, and the pattern behind it was perplexing. Shurima's underground was riddled with holes, yet the Void Deformant appeared only here; it seemed these monsters weren't everywhere.

The others also landed at the edge of the regeneration pool. The shimmering purple lake reflected in their eyes, constantly stirring up vortexes of dissolution and regeneration, revealing the most fearful look in everyone's eyes.

"What would happen if you accidentally fell down?" Cassiopeia asked curiously.

"If you accidentally fall in, your flesh will be annihilated the moment it touches the pool water, broken down into particles smaller than dust, and injected as raw materials into thousands of monsters. Wear your skin armor and never let your skin touch the pool water, even a single drop is enough to kill your fragile bodies hundreds of times over."

Kaisa's intimidation made everyone extremely cautious, with the more timid ones taking a half-step back to maintain a safe distance.

“Delay will only make things worse. Diana, let’s begin,” the Wild Hunt urged.

“I will protect you; you just need to focus on the ritual.” Diana and Leona exchanged a glance, then went to the regeneration pool. Nami offered the moonstone with both hands, encouraging her, “You must succeed!”

"Don't do that, I'm under a lot of pressure." Diana replied with a wry smile. She wasn't entirely confident and was only acting according to the memories left by the ancient spirit. But even the former Moon Spirit had never sealed the Regeneration Pool.

"Just do your best, I'll pray for you." Nami smiled foolishly and stepped back into the crowd, making room for Diana.

Diana's gaze slowly swept over the crowd. Although none of them spoke, their serious and focused demeanor spoke volumes. To ensure the success of the ceremony, they would all do their utmost to protect and support her.

Composing herself, Diana drew her moonsword and walked around the pool of regeneration. The blade gleamed like a diamond, its tip cutting through the ground as she dragged it.

Syndra watched this scene with great interest, seemingly gleaning a clue from it. As the knife marks connected, a magic circle was randomly formed.

"Now it's time to infuse the magic." Syndra predicted Diana's next move in her mind. She saw Diana plant her scimitar in the ground, kneel on one knee, and subconsciously look up at the sky.

Where in the deep sea could she find the pale moonlight to adorn herself? So she lifted the moonstone, pressed the hilt of her sword against her cheek, and repeatedly chanted the incantation.

The moonstone transformed into a sliver of moonlight that streamed through her fingers, flowing along the curved blade and into the inscription on the array. Silver patterns appeared, beginning to emanate a healing power.

Under Diana's control, this power permeated the earth, seeping into the rocks and the very structure of the world. What everyone saw was the rocks constantly growing in the white light, compressing the area of ​​the regeneration pool.

"It worked! It really worked!" Nami shouted excitedly. "Keep pushing, we'll close that broken door soon!"

The invisible pressure at the edge of her vision suddenly intensified, and Kassa frowned, thinking that Nami had spoken too soon. The next moment, the earth shook violently, revealing the flesh and blood buried deep within.

So that's what it was down there! Kasha's eyes widened. Huge tentacles pushed open the earth's crust, and the entire cavern below was filled with writhing flesh, as if the world was built on a giant ball of flesh.

"Damn it, the magic circle!" The earth cracked at an unimaginable speed. As Nami exclaimed in alarm, the earth beneath her feet was cracked by the lump of flesh, and the magic circle engraved on it shattered instantly.

The regeneration pool, which had been shrinking, suddenly cracked open and expanded considerably. The plan to seal the regeneration pool with moonstones had completely failed; it was too gentle and offered absolutely no room for error.

"Syndra, suppress it! Kai'Sa, execute the backup plan." Wild Hunt made the judgment immediately.

"Okay, don't rush me!"

Syndra retorted as usual, but she knew exactly what was going on. A vast amount of magical power radiated from her body, forcefully pressing down the throbbing mountain of flesh against the cracked earth.

The mountain of flesh continued to press down, its thunderous heartbeat echoing in everyone's ears. It finally revealed its weakness, but there was no time to dwell on it now. The earth's crust shattered into smaller fragments in the struggle between the two, yet it still couldn't break through Syndra's suppression.

She always does unimaginable things in the simplest way and according to the most obvious literal meaning, because she is unparalleled in magic and omnipotent, so whatever she does will be effective.

Details are not something she, with her level of power, should be concerned with.

Meanwhile, Kai'Sa and Katarina also unleashed their World Runes for a final attempt.

The three different foundation stones emitted golden, red, and green light, and the overflowing energy converged to form a rainbow-like stream of light that flowed into the earth and into the skeleton of the world.

Chapter 674 The Victim

The regeneration pool is simply a manifestation of the broken barrier between two worlds.

It is precisely because the world wall has a hole that so much liquid energy has poured in from the endless ocean of energy in the void, an inexhaustible supply.

Generally, the flaws and vulnerabilities will repair themselves under the influence of the world's rules. Otherwise, if Kai'Sa and her companions were allowed to freely shatter the void, the world would already be riddled with holes.

However, the situation with the regeneration pool is different. It has been invaded by the void, and the world barrier cannot repair itself unless the liquid energy inside is drained.

As for why this liquid energy didn't engulf everything, Wild Hunt speculates that it was also bound by the laws of reality.

Even the Watchers have to become physical entities to move around Runeterra. Similarly, this liquid energy also has to be converted into a physical form to further invade, which is why it exhibits the strange phenomenon of being completely insoluble in seawater.

Knowing the principle, one should understand that ordinary filling is ineffective. If the world's barrier isn't repaired, this hole will be like a bottomless pit, no matter how much you throw in, it will be useless. Draining it is even more impossible, because this bottomless pit is connected to the entire endless void.

There aren't many ways to repair the world barrier. Aside from Diana's abilities, the only method the Wild Hunt can think of is the World Rune.

Runes are there to cover the bottom line, runes are there to remedy the situation. Since the World Runes created everything in Runeterra, they should rightfully have the ability to repair everything.

Kai'Sa, Katarina, and Cassiopeia formed a three-way standoff, with runic power flowing between them, vaguely forming a strange magic circle.

“It’s our turn to protect you.” Although Diana felt guilty about her failure, she didn’t dwell on it too much, instead focusing on dealing with any possible situation that might arise.

After all, the failure was caused by the monster's destruction, but her method has proven to be effective, so it's a mixed blessing.

As planned, Kai'Sa and the other two infused the earth with the power of their respective runes, giving it the strength to resist the Void's erosion and helping the world's will to heal its wounds on its own.

When the restoration of reality and the dissolution of the void reach equilibrium, the regeneration pool will not expand. If one side exceeds the other, the regeneration pool will begin to shrink. The greater the difference between the two, the stronger the momentum will be. [The following appears to be unrelated and possibly spam:] You're here, I'm busy. Lin's here, are you here...

That's how it works in theory, but after a while, there was still no progress, which made me impatient.

"Are you guys even capable?" Syndra had single-handedly withstood the Void Freak's frontal assault while her teammates did nothing. How could she not be resentful?
