Twelve Aspects
Since I mastered the power of the war protoss, I can enter and leave Targon at will. The place is as peaceful as ever, as if the turmoil from the outside world has no impact on this place. ♢😎 .ᶜσм 😲🐒
I flew upwards quickly, and just as I was about to reach the summit, I was suddenly stopped. Her hair was like a rainbow; it was Zoe.
Hi, long time no see.
"Yasuo? Why do you smell so awful? It's like food has gone bad!"
"I just came from Howling Abyss, so I might have picked up some of the scent of Void Creatures."
"No, this is your scent, not something I picked up!"
"Hmm? Oh right, you might be referring to my outer garment. I'll explain later. Is the Creator Aspect at home?"
"Yes, I'm here. Is there something you need from him?"
"I'd like to ask about the void."
"You've come at the right time. We were just discussing this too. Let's go."
After entering Bard's Stargate, I found there were many people there, most of whom I didn't recognize.
It turns out they've been discussing how to help humanity fight against the Void.
Bard didn't know much about the Void either; in his memory, they had invaded twice: the first time was at Howling Abyss, and the second time was at Icathia.
This is the third time, and the first time that two void rifts have attacked simultaneously, on a much larger scale than before.
Whenever humanity faces an insurmountable crisis, the Aspects lend a helping hand, and this time is no exception.
After discussion, a total of twelve Aspects agreed to participate in this war. They are:
Zoe, the Twilight Aspect
Empowerment Aspect Nokel
Solar Aspect Leona
Lunar Aspect Diana
Storm Aspect Gora
The Shifting Aspect Maqi
Guardian Aspect Taric
Healing Aspect Soraka
Pollen Aspect Mili
Maze Aspect Germans
Lighthouse Aspect Aivena
Me: Yasuo, the War Aspect.
I recognize most of the Aspects who are fighting, including Taric and Soraka, whom I've never met before but are old acquaintances.
While I feel sorry for those Aspects who don't want to help, I can't force them to fight.
The investigation in the Howling Abyss yielded little result, except for the discovery of a powerful Void Lord. However, the trip to Mount Targon was much more fruitful.
The twelve Aspects are a powerful force, especially since each of them has their own strengths, which will greatly enhance the defenses and allow for a counterattack as soon as possible.
We don't need to walk across the land; we can transform into stars and travel through the sky, then descend once we reach our destination.
I haven't learned this skill yet; I only went through it once with Gora, and he'll be teaching me again this time.
This method of movement is very fast; we returned to the Heart of the Land defense line in less than half a day. Falling from the sky was also quite interesting, like a shooting star.
I led the Aspects directly to Swain's command center, hoping he would allocate the forces, but Zoe wouldn't listen to him:
"This is your command post? Are you the commander?"
"My name Swain. May I ask what advice Your Lord God may offer?"
"No, you can leave now. From now on, Aivena and I will be in charge."
Swain neither confirmed nor denied this; he looked at me, wanting to know the reason.
I don't know why Zoe did that, but on second thought it doesn't seem so bad.
Aside from Leona, Diana, and me—the three newcomers—the other Aspects are all ancient beings who have lived for thousands of years.
Compared to their physical strength, they are more outstanding in intelligence, especially the Twilight Aspect.
The previous Twilight Aspect, Myisha, used various strategies and sealing techniques to eliminate the Vastaya of Runeterra and lead humanity to victory.
I wonder what methods Zoe will use. Since she has taken on the role of commander, I think she must be quite confident.
Moreover, she said she would be commanding alongside the Lighthouse Aspect Aivena, and just from that name, you know it's perfect for the task.
I didn't respond to Swain, but instead said to Zoe in a joking tone:
"This is no easy task. The Void is much more troublesome than the Vastaya. You can't give up halfway!"
"You're so long-winded, you're nowhere near as good Pantheon!"
"..."
I only said one sentence and she thought I was being long-winded. Fine, then I won't say anything more.
Swain guessed what I was thinking and immediately relinquished his command position:
"Then I'll trouble you, Your Lord God. I will immediately use magic to inform everyone that from now on, we will all obey your commands."
"Hmm, you're much more sensible Yasuo. I don't mind if you stay here and help me out."
"Alright, I'll explain the situation here to you in detail, and then please allow me to leave."
"Okay, the choice is yours."
Swain used a magical raven to announce to the people that the Aspects were coming to help, and then had everyone hold a meeting via the Multifaceted Orb.
They chatted like this until evening. Before the Void Creatures attacked, Zoe and her team had already grasped the various strongholds and personnel allocations of the Heart of the Land, and renumbered them.
I have to say she's really sharp; I still can't remember everyone's exact location, but she remembered it all in a short time.
After explaining all that, the personnel deployment was no longer Swain's concern. He was assigned to my old location, now Outpost Nine.
This was at his own request; he prefers a quiet environment, and being with the giant sheep suits his taste perfectly.
On the way to the stronghold, Swain worried. "Ha, finally liberated. I thought many times that someone would replace me, but I never expected that the gods would take over this job."
"You really should take a rest. Although the war isn't over yet, you're aging too quickly."
Swain scratched his head, and immediately more than a dozen strands fell out, mostly gray hairs.
"I'm a year younger Darius, but I look ten years older, maybe more."
"Uh... so you're younger than him? That doesn't seem like it."
"But it's alright, I don't need to use my brain anymore. If I fight to my heart's content, I believe I'll regain my youth in no time."
Do you still yearn to fight in person?
"Yes, I prefer fighting on the battlefield to strategizing, just like when I was under Dukao. I never thought this day would come again!"
Looking at Swain's confident demeanor, he seemed to have instantly become much younger.
Like Darius, he dedicated his life to Noxus, and being able to fight in person must have been the happiest thing for him!
When I returned to the base, Sivir had just finished the battle and was very happy to see me return safely.
"It seems you've returned unharmed. Did you gain anything?"
"I almost lost my life. The leader of the Void is called the Void Lord. Evelynn is also Void Creatures. Besides me, there were eleven Aspects who came to help. That's all."
"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again."
"Why are you being so polite? Just tell me what it is, and I'll definitely complete the task you assigned me!"
