Eternal Love
I looked at Sivir and noticed she looked somewhat downcast. I realized I shouldn't have acted so agitated, as if I were disgusted by everything. 🍧♣ ♠😺
Whatever Evelynn did in the past, what's done is done, and Sivir, as the victim, shouldn't be hurt anymore.
I conjured a Wind Form vessel into a wine glass, filled it to the brim, and handed it to Evelynn: "I was just caught up in the past and panicked for a moment, so I'll use this glass of wine to apologize to you."
"That's more like it. But since you're being so sincere, I'll tell you something else."
"Please speak." I knew this was Evelynn's real purpose; she was there to stir up trouble.
"Since his battle with you, Aatrox has been content. He knows the Vastaya are incapable of overthrowing the world, so he went to the Void Rift alone. As for the reason, I don't know yet."
"That's something to be happy about; it means we have one less formidable enemy."
"Indeed. Also, I want to tell you that Ryze won't be taking any action against you for the time being, so you can focus on dealing with the Void."
"I would be even more grateful if you could tell me the weaknesses of the Void Creatures."
"Gratitude? What are you going to do to thank me? Throw yourself into my arms, hahaha... No need for pretense, I know you hate me."
"The difference between dislike and liking isn't that great, especially since you're beautiful."
"Heh, you're quite the smooth talker." Evelynn raised her glass and downed it in one gulp. "I've said my piece, and I've drunk my wine. Goodbye then!"
I tried to get some information out of her, but I didn't get anything out of her. Actually, I was overthinking it. Even a child wouldn't believe such a lie, let alone the cunning Evelynn.
Actually, when she raised her glass just now, looking at her fair and beautiful neck, I really wanted to cut it open with a sword, but in the end I just smiled and watched her finish her drink.
Because I can't kill her; it would only ruin the atmosphere between me and Sivir.
"Who is she? She seems to know us very well?"
"She is Evelynn, the mastermind I suspected before. It's not just about the two of us; everything that's happening now is more or less related to her."
"Was Ryze also manipulated by her?"
"I had the same doubts, but she said she and Ryze were partners, and in fact, she helped us a lot, including during the Shadow Isles and the Vastaya War."
Sivir had been gone for a long time and didn't know many things, so I briefly told her about it.
After listening, she didn't continue talking about Evelynn, but instead told me about the Void, which was what Shetaka had told her.
According to Shetaka, the Void Creatures and other beings in Runeterra are indeed a relationship of light and darkness; their formation is the result of Divine Strength power, but their origin lies in humanity.
Throughout the countless years of humankind's existence, both good and evil have been the primary driving forces of its development.
Goodness is light, which created a glorious and splendid civilization and formed the Runeterra today.
Evil is darkness, the accumulation of all negative emotions, which ultimately forms emptiness.
Therefore, Void Creatures and humans are interdependent. As long as humans exist, the Void will not disappear. Similarly, if the Void were to devour Runeterra, both sides would perish.
Of course, humans consider survival, but Void Creatures do not, because they themselves represent destruction, even if it means disappearing along with themselves.
Then I remembered what Sivir had said, "So that day when you supported Camille, you said you wanted to drive the monsters away instead of destroying them?"
"Yes, I'm not sure if those words are true or false, nor do I understand their deeper meaning, so I haven't told anyone about them."
"Then let's not say it, lest people get confused and it affect their defense."

"Yeah, that's why I didn't say it. Do you believe that, Yasuo?"
"It's about 50/50. Shetaka and Ryze are very close because she also possesses the power of the World Rune, so what she said is definitely related to their research."
"And what about the other half?"
"There must be a deeper meaning behind the void. They probably didn't disappear along with humanity after they destroyed it. Of course, this is just my speculation."
"Okay, now that you put it that way, I understand even less. In any case, our defense will not change. They are determined to eliminate us, so we can only fight to the end!"
"Yes, today is still long, let's talk about something else!"
The originally relaxed and pleasant atmosphere turned sour when Evelynn arrived, and I stopped the conversation in time to talk about other things with Sivir.
In the more than half a year we've been apart, a lot has happened, but very little has been worth celebrating. Thinking about it carefully, becoming Aspects is one thing, and saving the Angel sisters is another.
I started by recounting my ascent of Mount Targon, including the beautiful Willow Village, the stories of the Solar Cult and New Moon Cult, the magical Aspects at the summit, and my journey to becoming the War Aspect.
Sivir listened attentively, looking forward to meeting Leona and Diana soon.
In addition, it was a blessing for me, because becoming Aspects meant that I had gained eternal life, and she was also an immortal Ascended.
Although she didn't say the rest aloud, I knew what she wanted to say: We can be together forever.
Then there's the matter of Kayle and Morgana. They have a close relationship with Sivir; one is Michela's daughter, and the other is Michela's "adopted daughter."
After hearing about the angel sisters' plight, Sivir almost shed tears, but felt gratified to learn that they had now become Four-winged Angel.
Later, when she heard me talk about the relationship between the Ascended and the Angels, she was very surprised and couldn't wait to find Kayle and Morgana, but it was almost dusk, so we decided to go later.
Since the northern tribes withdrew, the iron chain bridge of the Heart of the Land defense line has been cut off, and there are not many Void Creatures that can attack.
Only the monsters that can float and fly are a bit troublesome, as are the particularly large ones. Their attack range is generally quite long, so they need to be prioritized for elimination.
In fact, I didn't need to lift a finger at my stronghold. These giant sheep were incredibly powerful; they could all breathe fire, and their strength was comparable to that of ordinary dragons.
No wonder Ornn wasn't worried at all; he went to forge weapons after building the defenses.
After nightfall, the defensive pressure decreased, so Sivir and I first went to the West to see Kayle, and then went to the East to see Morgana.
After exchanging a few words, it was already dawn the next day. Sivir decided to return south.
"I should go back now. I feel like I've had a very fulfilling day!"
Haha, you're always welcome!
"Okay, and I have something else to ask you. You need to tell me next time we meet."
"What's up?"
Let's name our child.
"I'll think about it carefully, and now I also have something to tell you."
"What's up?"
"I love you."
