Twilight Aspect

Varus silently accumulated strength, and the arrows on the war bow changed from golden to dazzling white, and the surrounding air became tight, giving people the feeling of being able to pierce the sky. 🐤💝 ❻9ŜυЖ.

One arrow, two arrows, three arrows... With the blessing of the World Rune, Varus kept shooting powerful arrows upwards. At first, I could use the Wind Force to help increase the power, but later I had no strength left.

I counted silently in my mind, and when I shot the eighteenth arrow, a response finally came from above!

"You bunch of brats, you almost shot me!"

Before the words were finished, a petite girl appeared in front of us. She was floating in the air with her legs crossed, and her round eyes were unusually large.

The most exaggerated thing was her hair, which hung in the air twice the length of her body. From root to tip, it was dyed in several colors such as golden yellow, rose red, crimson, and sky blue, and it shone with a bright light. It was extremely beautiful!

Although it was the size of a child, its appearance clearly indicated it was a deity, so I quickly greeted it:

"We have come to seek an audience with the gods, and since we have been unable to find one, we have resorted to this method. Please forgive us."

"What business do you have with the gods? I am the god of this place!"

"That's wonderful! We want to ask the gods for help in dealing with the external calamity, which is caused by a group of fallen beings called the Vastaya and a group of Void Creatures of unknown origin."

"Wasn't the Void sealed by the Ascended? Weren't the Vastaya sealed by mortals?"

"Now that the Vastaya have revived, and the Void is stirring, we hope the gods can help us prepare in advance."

"Help? Sure, I love helping out!"

The little girl agreed readily, but the more she did so, the more uneasy I became. She hadn't appeared during my arduous search, but now that I had finally found her, she readily agreed to help. Besides, I still didn't know what was going on with the Solar Cult!

"Thank you very much. My name is Yasuo, and these are my friends: Varus, Leona, and Diana. May I ask who you are?"

"I'm Zoe, Twilight Aspect. You might not know me, but you're sure to be familiar with my predecessors..."

Not only is Zoe petite, but her personality and way of speaking are also like a child's, and she talks incoherently when she talks about things.

She first recounted the outstanding contributions of her predecessors, then spoke of how she became Twilight Aspect, and finally returned to the great deeds of her predecessors. It wasn't until the very end that I understood what she was saying:

Zoe is a deity called the Twilight Aspect. Besides her, there are several other Aspects on Mount Targon, such as the War Aspect, the Guardian Aspect, and so on...

Unlike other deities such as Aspects Janna Ivern, the Protoss do not have physical bodies. They are more like spiritual entities that need to attach themselves to a human to manifest.

So Zoe was originally human. She was chosen by the Twilight Aspect to become a god, and the person chosen before her was the predecessor she mentioned: the previous Twilight Aspect, Myisha.

The Aspects don't just choose anyone. For example, the War Aspect symbolizes war, and those they choose are brave, resolute, and skilled in warfare.

The Twilight Aspect symbolize wisdom; they are deities who guide humanity with wisdom. Myisha's fall is related to helping humanity.

When the Vastaya War broke out on the Shurima Continent, human civilization suffered unprecedented destruction. Myisha, seeing the plight of humanity, decided to help.

Because the Vastaya were powerful and numerous, Myisha did not choose to confront them directly. Instead, she taught humans powerful sealing techniques, then went to sow discord among the Vastaya and had people seal them while they were weakened by their civil war.

With Myisha's help, humanity gradually achieved victory, but as the war was about to end, a Vastaya saw through her disguise and killed her.

The Twilight Aspect returned to Mount Targon because of Myisha's death, and only regained possession of Zoe when Zoe appeared. That's why she immediately agreed to help when she heard that we were going to deal with the Vastaya.

Although her words dispelled my doubts, a new problem arose: the strength of the Twilight Aspect.

Myisha won through strategy, but the same method wouldn't work again. In terms of raw power, Zoe probably couldn't help either.

Hearing my concerns, she laughed cheerfully, "Hahaha... Don't worry, you have the Light Rune, right? You can defeat the Vastaya with them!"

"Do you know how to Light Rune?"

"Yeah, come on, give me the rune!"

Varus heard Zoe's words and wanted to hand her the rune, but I stopped him because I felt that Zoe seemed very eager to get the rune, which was abnormal!

She herself has said that the Twilight Aspect is the embodiment of wisdom, which means that she is not as naive as she appears on the surface, but rather a very clever or even cunning person.

Since the World Rune has always been right under her nose, why does she seem so eager for it? This can only mean that she can't get it!

You can hand it over to her, but at least tell me about the Solar Cult first!

Zoe was furious when she saw me stopping Varus: "What are you doing, Yasuo? Why won't you give me the World Rune! Don't you believe me?"

"No, don't misunderstand. I just wanted to ask how to use the World Rune. A few days ago, when we came to Mount Targon, we were trapped in a fake world that was supported by the World Rune. I'm afraid that we might accidentally cause that situation again."

"You suspect that I created a fake world using World Rune?"

"That's not what I meant, don't get agitated. I just want to know who did this. Do you have any leads?"

Zoe was very emotional just now. Although others might think it was because I misunderstood her, I don't think it's that simple. She was deliberately pretending to be angry to hide something!

Sure enough, after hearing what I said, she immediately stopped being angry, her childish tone disappeared, and she became very serious.

"You're a clever Yasuo; you saw how desperately I wanted the World Rune, which is why you stopped Varus, right?"

"We're not children anymore, it's better to speak frankly."

"I really want the Light Rune, but I didn't create that fake world. In fact, I had no idea that the Solar Cult existed here."

"I believe that, otherwise you would have already seized the rune directly, without waiting for us to arrive."

"I want the Light Rune to deal with an enemy who stole the Dark Rune from Mount Targon and killed the War Aspect. Without the power of the Light Rune, I cannot take revenge!"

"Who could be so powerful? Isn't the power of Mount Targon enough to deal with that person?"

"He's a demon, Aatrox!"
