Chapter 1161: A Strong Man Breaks His Wrist
Leaving the Void, Rhodes carefully lifted the seal on Cassadine and Kai'Sa - after escaping the sand sculpture, Kai'Sa was very depressed, while Cassadine regained his clarity.
For now, the Will of the Void can't affect the Voidland Accident and Valoran itself, unless someone dies and actively contacts and pursues the Void.
"Unbelievable power." Recalling his previous feelings and actions, Cassadine couldn't help but mutter, "I don't even know when I was controlled......"
"That's the horror of the Void." Rod nodded a little helplessly, "The will of the void can silently affect all those who are in it, and there are very few means to avoid this kind of influence based on the level of will. ”
“……”
Cassadine didn't speak, his attention was now completely focused on his daughter - when he had just left the Void Land, Kai'Sa was languishing, and just before Lu Dong's forehead could say a word, this malaise had quickly turned into pain, and the Void Worm attached to Kai'Sa (the scientific name should be a leather beetle) seemed to be very unaccustomed to Valoran's environment, and Kaisha's armor was trembling at a visible amplitude, as if it might collapse at any moment.
"No......" Kai'Sa froze on the ground, "I'...... My body is spiraling out of control! ”
Seeing this scene, Rhodes frowned, he hesitated slightly, and then tentatively dug out a piece of the void humus belonging to the Void Worker Shovel in his spatial backpack, and then handed it to Kaisha.
A magical scene happened.
After Kai'Sa took the handful of Void Humus, her whole body trembled and stopped.
Of course, as a price, the humus in her hands is also slowly disappearing.
"Addictive symptoms." Looking at Kaisha's visibly excited demeanor, Rhodes touched his chin, "The dependence of the Void creatures on the environment of the Voidland...... There seems to be a distinctly addictive characteristic. ”
At the same time, Kai'Sa herself realized that something was wrong, and she looked at the Void Humus in her hand with some embarrassment, not knowing what she should do - she subconsciously wanted to drop the thing that made her unexpectedly excited, but she couldn't do it at all.
The aura that belonged to the Void that was unique to the Void from the Void humus made Kai'Sa feel her dependence on the Void so directly that at this moment, she even had serious self-doubt.
Am I really the hero who guards the gap between the Void and Valoran?
Why do I crave some kind of gift from the void so much?
Why is it so hard for me to refuse and let go of this temptation?
Do I have to continue with the choices I made?
In the Void, Kai'Sa and the symbiotic leather beetle are busy fighting and surviving all day long, and when they have occasional leisure, Kai'Sa only takes the time to rest, always ready to face new challenges, so although she has a special identity, she rarely thinks about her exact position - only when she occasionally saves a few unlucky people who have strayed into the Void, she will dimly feel her identity as "guardian between the void and reality".
All along, Kai'Sa did not choose to leave the Void, and her self-perception of this has always been "I want to guard this boundary".
But now, when Kai'Sa felt her longing and dependence on the Void Humus and the Void breath, she suddenly realized that she couldn't tell whether she was reluctant to leave the Void Land to protect Valoran or to absorb the breath of the Void.
So, at this moment, Kaisha, who was holding the Void Humus, finally began to face up to her identity, status, and future for the first time.
Isn't it ...... Never going back to Valoran?
If this life is destined to live in the void...... Once the Void is truly defeated and completely destroyed, will it also dissipate with it?
Under the tremendous pressure, Kaisha's mental state had obvious problems, and her serious self-doubt made her unable to make an exact judgment for a while, so she could only hold less and less void humus in a daze, staring blankly at the ground, watching a small sand lizard probing her brain in her shadow.
Cassadine is worried about Kaisha's state, but unfortunately, like most fathers, he can't understand his daughter's innermost thoughts, so he can only be anxious.
Although Rhodes can guess some of the problems Kai'Sa faces, Rhodes, who has been with the High Elves for a long time, believes that the symptoms of addiction similar to "magic addiction" can be done by outsiders instead of psychological counseling, but to find an alternative addiction.
So, after Kai'Sa fell into strong self-doubt, Cassadine was helpless but didn't know what to do, and Rhodes thought about how to make Void humus.
Seeing the time pass little by little, the three of them remained motionless under the scorching sun, and in this case, the little sand lizard finally moved its four small short legs and began to climb on Kaisha's body.
The creatures that can survive in Acacia, even the humble sand lizard, have a special ability - this little creature who is good at climbing dodges enemies, in addition to burrowing into the dirt, is to climb into the crevices of the rocks, and it can even complete gravity-defying actions such as falling over the ceiling, so it is on Kaisha's arm in the blink of an eye.
The little sand lizard curiously poked its head into the Void humus probe in Kaisha's hand, and then quietly stretched out a front paw and gently pressed it against the humus.
The moment it came into contact with the Void humus, the sand lizard's front paws were directly dyed dark purple.
Seeing that the erosion was still spreading, the sand lizard did not hesitate to choose the strong man's broken wrist, he cleanly abandoned one of his front paws, and fled before the void erosion reached its torso—although it only had three legs left, it was still very fast to climb, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Kaisha, who was attracted by the little sand lizard, suddenly lit up when she saw this scene.
For Kaisha, the action of this little sand lizard gave her a new revelation - "If I get infected, maybe I can cut off the infected tissue, at least after that, I'm still me!" ”
"That's right, at this time, neither my father nor Rhodes has no way to make decisions for me, only I can make up my mind!"
Then, just as Kai'Sa had made up her mind to peel off the leather beetle that lived with her, Rhodes broke the silence by speaking first.
"I think we need to go back to Piltover." Rod's tone was full of uncertainty, "I hope those craftsmen really have a way to make a substitute for this humus." ”
“???”
Hearing Rod say this, Kaisha, who had just made up her mind, suddenly looked confused.
