When Kesha woke up from her slumber, the sunlight had turned dim.

She opened her eyes suddenly and looked around in horror, only to realize that she had not been taken too far by the bad guys.

She was still on a certain mountain peak outside the village, only a few hills away from home.

But this is not necessarily good news.

Kesha saw that the purple-robed man who had kidnapped her, the prophet among the believers, was currently suspended in the air in a strange purple halo, shining like a god.

As if they were holding some sacred religious ceremony, those believers crowded tightly together, looking up at their great prophet with devout eyes and a fanatical expression.

As for the slaves they brought with them, they were all ignored and left aside.

The believers didn't seem to worry about these slaves escaping at all. The slaves stood at the ceremony site blankly, looking at the prophet suspended in mid-air with respect and fear, and indeed they did not dare to escape easily.

Taken together, these believers and slaves almost covered this small hillside.

But that's not all.

Under the mountain peaks and beyond the mountains, there were still a few believers escorting the slaves, slowly coming from the distant desert.

"The sacrificial teams will arrive one after another in the next few days. When all the sacrifices arrive, the ceremony will officially begin."

"Believers, look forward to this great nothingness!"

"Praise my Lord!"

"Praise my Lord! Praise my Lord!" The fans roared fervently on the mountain peak.

"Well" Kesha became more and more nervous.

She didn't know why these strange guys gathered here, so close to her home and the village.

What exactly do they mean by the ritual?

"You're awake." At this time, Malzahar noticed her.

He turned his head and looked over, looking at Kesha quietly with his purple eyes.

"You, you" Kesha was startled when she saw his face clearly.

Because at this time, Malzahar no longer looked human.

Malzahar's entire skull seemed to be just a thin web. There was something terrifying inside the web, pulsating with a strange light, swelling, spreading, and eager to eat.

"What are you?!" Kesha stepped back in horror.

She instinctively reached out to her waist and grasped the dagger given to her by her father - perhaps the believers were not afraid of the resistance of a little girl like her, so they did not specifically take away the weapons she used for self-defense.

"Child." Malzahar spoke, but his voice was not a voice at all. It was directly thrown into Kesha's mind, an extension of that non-light light, smooth, clear, and unreasonable.

Kesha's slender legs trembled in fear.

She couldn't understand what she saw.

"Don't be afraid." Malzahar said: "Let me wake you up."

In an instant, many scenes flashed through Kesha's mind.

A huge figure towered behind the prophet, filling the entire night sky. Many buildings, or something similar to buildings, were upside down, with teeth and claws bared, sinking under a vast, strange ocean. Thousands of greedy creatures

The creatures swim in groups, and they are so huge that they even block the light spots that are definitely not the scorching sun, and stir up ocean currents in the unusual sea water.

Immediately afterwards, Kesha saw Noxus again——

Although she has never seen Noxus at all, strangely, she can know that the vision that appears in her mind at this moment is the distant Noxus Empire.

He saw countless monsters forming an incredible huge wave that engulfed Noxus. The immortal fortress burst into terrible cracks and then capsized in the sea of ​​monsters. The ice surface shattered and everything gushed and rolled.

Noxus was destroyed.

Then there are the Twin Cities, Shurima, Demacia, Ionia, Bilgewater, and Freljord.

The entire Runeterra appeared in Kesha's eyes, and then disappeared into nothingness in a sea of ​​purple.

"You, you guys" Kesha broke away from the illusion with a pale face.

She understood the visions: "You want to destroy the world?"

"No." Malzahar shook his head: "It's not that we want to destroy the world, but that the world will eventually be destroyed."

"The end will come. The void will surely come and wash away the world and all the misery in the world. It will disappear with it, including each of you.

""Kesha's brain was buzzing with horror.

But this strong little girl quickly broke away from the web of fear, gritted her teeth and asked: "Well, what about my mother?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but turn her head and look in the direction of the village.

Keisha was scared, afraid of what these madmen would do to her village.

"I said, don't be afraid." Malzahar spoke again: "Destruction is actually not terrible."

"I once saw the world ending in the absence of light and darkness, complete emptiness. But I was wrong then. The void has transformed into a new form. A new possibility——"

"All things will eventually perish, but they will be reborn again."

"The merciful Lord will open his arms to everyone, invite you to merge into the great nothingness, and then obtain eternal happiness in the endless purple sea!"

"Crazy, crazy" Kesha bit her lip.

She couldn't quite understand Malzahar's words, but she knew that she and her village were probably in danger now.

She was scared. But

"Mom!" Suddenly, Kesha turned around and ran away like crazy.

Even if there was only a glimmer of possibility, she wanted to escape back to the village and warn her mother and fellow villagers to flee quickly.

"Alas." Malzahar sighed: "Don't you understand, child? For your mother and the villagers, accepting the fusion of great nothingness is the real relief."

"Bah!" Kesha's short legs moved faster: "The devil wants this kind of relief! I want to save my mother!"

Years of living as a shepherd in the mountains have trained this little girl to be agile and agile.

She ran dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye, and it seemed that even the prophet believers couldn't stop her.

But this is obviously impossible.

The believers didn't need to take action at all. All they saw was Malzaha's thoughts.

"Void Insect Swarm!" The space in front of Kesha appeared strangely distorted.

A dark purple narrow door opened out of thin air, and several void beetles about the same size as her, emitting a purple halo, appeared in front of her without any warning.

"You can't leave." As Malzahar's voice slowly sounded, the void beetles were like fleshy puppets, blocking Kesha's path from all directions.

In front of these ferocious void beetles, Kesha looked like a weak and pitiful lamb.

She had no way to escape and was unable to resist.

Malzahar thought so.

However

"Get out of the way!" The little girl let out an unyielding roar in extreme fear.

Although the voice is childish, it is full of momentum.

Kesha gritted her silver teeth and regardless, she pulled out the dagger her father had given her and charged forward desperately.

A void beetle stood in front of her, showing its ferocious fangs.

But she still didn't back down.

She dodged the claws of the void beetle with a sliding shovel, and then used the kinetic energy of sprinting forward with all her strength to pierce the dagger into the monster's heart without any reservation.

The heart glowing with a strange purple light suddenly exploded like an exploding fruit.

The viscous liquid splashed out from the void spirit's body, almost completely covering Kesha's little body.

Kesha just "embraced" the half-dead ethereal body and rolled together, falling weakly on the sloping hillside.

Her desperate struggle ended sadly and feebly.

"" Malzahar was a little surprised.

He thought that a few low-level void spirits would be enough to scare this 10-year-old girl, but he didn't expect that she would have such will and courage to swing a knife at the void monster.

Could it be that this is what’s special about Kesha?

But what does this have to do with the Lord’s cause?

Malzahar was still thinking about the reason for his intuition, and at this time

"Ahhhhhh--" Kesha struggled to get up, her little face full of fear and pain.

She wanted to get rid of the ethereal body that was pressing on her. And she did it.

But part of this monster's body still remains on her body——

The strange skin was now firmly attached to her arm. No matter how she tore it apart, the tough monster carapace remained firmly attached to her skin.

This ethereal spirit is already dead.

But its skin was still "alive" - ​​and gradually integrated with Kesha, even swallowing up her sleeves, collar, and even all the fabric and dirt on her body from bottom to top.

Gradually, all the clothes on Kesha's body were eaten away, but an additional layer of purple living skin grew out like tight armor.

"What, what is this?" Kesha was extremely frightened.

She tried hard to peel off the carapace, but broke the dagger in her panic.

But the carapace remained motionless. It grew firmly on the surface of her skin, like another piece of flesh extending out of her body - she could even feel pain when the dagger scratched the carapace.

"Help, help!" The little girl ran forward like crazy.

Several other void beetles still faithfully carried out Malzahar's orders and quickly blocked her path.

But this time, facing the siege of void beetles,
To be continued...
