He Comes From the Void

The shape of this tree stump was different from Kai'Sa's idea.

She had expected it to be a large, flat tree stump, but what Kahn identified was more like a crumbling throne. This is indeed the stump of a forbidden magic tree, but its cross-section is inclined, and the annual rings collapse inward like steps.

Karn walked straight to the center of the stump and stopped before a stone slab.

The slate itself was a part of the anti-magic stone tree, and he swept away the golden fallen leaves piled up on it, revealing the murals on the slate.

Kai'Sa walked over, put her hands on her knees, and bent down her upper body to carefully observe the mural.

She saw many people with swords or staffs kneeling and praying around a tangled tree. And in the center of the tree, there is a rhombus-shaped gemstone that shines brilliantly.

"We are here to find world runes." Kahn told her the purpose of this trip beside her.

Kai'Sa suddenly raised her head, looking back with a solemn expression, obviously aware of the seriousness of the matter.

"Isn't the world rune the kind of thing Ryze is looking for?"

"Yeah, he put all the runes he found here, and the magic stone can cover up the power of the world's runes."

"So... are we copying his background?"

Facing Kai'Sa's gaze, Kahn found himself unable to deny it. In order to retake the world from the threat of the Watchers, they had made too many compromises with reality, which was something he would never have thought of doing before.

He looked down at the golden leaves on the ground. Once they fell, they could never return to the treetops for people to look up to.

"When we decided to go down this road, we were destined to never turn back. Anyway, we are here, so let's get it done."

"No... I just want to say... no matter what, I will support you unconditionally." Kaisha held Kahn's face in one hand and looked at each other. After calming down, she pursed her lips and said, "Hurry up, the longer you delay Easier to be found."

"Hmm." Kahn stood up again, circled around a few times and said, "There is a hidden basement under the tree stump. I just looked for a long time and couldn't find any entrance. I had to open a wormhole to get in."

With that said, Kahn handed the package to Kaisha: "You take the Z-drive. Since the destination is not accurate, it is very risky to rush through the wormhole. You stay on it. If the wormhole is safe, I will Come back to you, if I don't come back within a minute, you restart time."

Kahn didn't know how deep the secret vault under his feet was located. If the other end of the wormhole was not opened properly and was opened in the rock formation, he would be squashed by the rock formation the moment he passed through it, and he would not be able to react at all. No, so it's worth trying to be safe.

Kai'Sa nodded cautiously. This feeling of letting a lover take risks will only make people feel heavy.

"I don't know if the Forbidden Stone Forest will weaken the effect of the Z-drive. Try it first." To be on the safe side, Kai'Sa activated the time device, then took out her pocket watch and set the time.

It had no effect, but the package returned to Kahn's hands, and the time went back to the time when he hadn't spoken the plan, and then Kaisha said those words before Kahn spoke.

"We thought of going together. Is this a tacit understanding?"

Seeing Kahn's amazed expression, Kaisha smiled sweetly without breaking it, put a kiss on his cheek, and said to him: "With me here, don't worry about it."

Encouraged by Kahn, he opened the wormhole and entered.

Entering for the first time...failed as expected, Kaisha silently recorded the depth, and then told Kahn that opening a wormhole at this depth is a dead end, and asked him to change the depth.

After many attempts, Kahn finally entered the basement. In his memory, this was the first time. And in Kai'Sa's feeling, this step has been repeated many times, and every time it makes her almost suffocate.

After seeing Kahn return safely, she finally dropped all patience and hugged him deeply and strongly.

After a while, Kai'Sa followed Kahn into the basement.

To her surprise, it wasn't completely dark down here. There was light extending from the front, illuminating a winding bridge that connected to a platform made of twisting tree roots.

After observing the terrain a little, they took the bridge, the only way.

This bridge is nothing more than a root of the Forbidden Tree. Without guardrails, it is easy to fall. The darkness below does not know where it leads. Walking on it feels like walking on a single-plank bridge.

The two arrived at the platform in the center of the basement one after the other, surrounded by many hollow columns, and the things they were looking for were stored in these columns.

In the most central column, Kai'Sa saw the wedge-shaped gemstone on the mural earlier, and was suspended in it.

"This is the world rune? It's so beautiful." Kai'Sa leaned her face closer to the window, observing the gem and expressing emotion.

"Are you talking about its shape, or the power it possesses?"

"Of course it's the shape. This is the first time I've seen such a large gemstone... Uh, is it very powerful?" Kai'Sa turned around, and what he saw in Kahn's eyes was not yearning, but deep fear .

"This is the most dangerous magical holy object in the world. It is the source of all magic. No one can understand their true power, but each piece has the power to destroy the world." Said, Kahn held Kai'sa's arm, and the latter didn't realize that this ordinary action had any special meaning.

"If it's as powerful as you say, why don't we use it to kill the Watchers?"

"Do you think that this power is driven by you for no reason? Those who have used the destructive power of the runes have all been bewitched by the runes without exception, and those who are not determined will even become Its puppet. Moreover, it is hard to say whether the void devouring magic will work."

After listening to Kaisha, she understood why Kahn held her arms. He was afraid that she would reach out and touch these runes rashly, and then be bewitched.

"Then you still use them? Do you think you are the exception? You can be free from the bewitching world runes." She asked.

Kahn shook his head: "I don't think I can be that exception. I just want to use the world runes to repair the cracks in the plane without using the destructive power. Close the rift before things are irreparable."

He saw Kai'Sa turned her head, silent anger in her eyes. He turned his head not to look at each other, nor did he speak, and the atmosphere just fell into silence.

After a long time, Kai'Sa broke the silence.

"Maybe I'm just stupid, but I will never let you take risks alone."

As she spoke, she broke away from Kahn's hand and reached out to grab the rune.
