142 Souvenirs

Runeterra is the most unique of all the cosmos stars, a fact evident from Runeterra Cosmic Dragon King's long-standing focus on it.

While Sol didn't create Runeterra, it was indeed because Sol created the sun that life came to life on Runeterra.

In this context, all higher life forms place great importance on Runeterra.

According to Soraka's forbidden story, in a previous era, the beings of the Immortal Heaven were worried about the runaway Runeterra.

Even so, they are unable to actively interfere with it.

Even if it's just about letting one's power and will manifest, a vessel is needed as a medium.

No matter how excellent this medium is, its power will still be bound to the True God by Runeterra itself...

In this context, Nedeli's mastery of the Dawn Power is indeed powerful, even possessing more potential than that of ordinary Aspects.

But so what?

If Nedeli cannot overcome the limitations of Runeterra itself—or rather, if Nedeli remains in Runeterra, defeating Nila is a pipe dream.

However, this is also related to Nila's own condition...

Thinking this, Yuan Chen glanced at Nila, who was silently praying to the side.

Nila can indeed fully utilize Oshirresh's power, but depending on the amount she uses it, Oshirresh will also break the seal on the jar accordingly.

However, Oshirresh's experience confirms that if he Oshirresh n't gone on a rampage and attacked the Immortal Heaven himself, Oshirresh wouldn't have been affected at all, given his home-field advantage...

Putting everything else aside, even the eldest of the top ten rookies Fiddlesticks, is still running a farm in Demacia, and no Aspects has come to take charge.

Although it's just speculation, these primordial life forms born from the original spiritual realm of Runeterra are most likely closely related to Runeterra itself.

For example, Oshirresh attacked the Aspects, but in the end he was only sealed away, not killed...

It's important to know that before Setaka's battle with the Void, the Void had launched several attacks on Runeterra.

In one recorded account, the people of Ancient Shurima all witnessed the figure of Aurelion Sol, appearing in the sky.

The Void rift was shattered by Cosmic Dragon King's Starfire Spear.

This is also the only Void Rift in the entire history of Runeterra that can be definitively confirmed to have been completely annihilated.

Pantheon, the War Spirit, was also pulverized by the aftershocks.

So here's the question...

Sol was able to completely destroy Void rift that the Void tore open in Runeterra, so could Sol completely kill a primordial demon?

The answer seems obvious, given Sol's undeniable power.

Even so, the Aspects still chose to seal them away...

Although it's just speculation, it's quite obvious.

Compared to ordinary demons, Nascent Demon are not something that can be dealt with simply by killing them...

Thinking this, Yuan Chen couldn't help but glance at his own palm.

If the Aspects are unable, or rather, incapable of killing Oshirresh...

So where is the source of Temperance, that unknown one of the ten primordial beings, hidden, or sealed away?

While Yuan Chen was still pondering this, Nila had already finished her prayer.

She raised her head, glanced at Nedeli with her azure eyes, and chuckled softly.

Then she looked at Yuan Chen, her eyes revealing a hint of excitement, agitation, and a hidden sense of apology and sadness.

However, this apology and sadness are so hard to detect...

... Under Oshirresh's power, no matter what the emotion, it will eventually be forcibly twisted into unnatural happiness.

"Oh, my dear... after being apart for so long, we have finally met again!"

Yuan Chen didn't even see Nila's trajectory clearly; he only saw the space in front of him flicker, and then Nila appeared directly in front of him.

Taking Yuan Chen's hand, ignoring Nedeli's bristling fur beside her, Nila said apologetically:

"I felt you inside that giant snake! But that was the first time I killed such a behemoth in front of outsiders! You know, the thrill of defeating a monster and the sense of accomplishment of being known and celebrated are hard to suppress!"

"If you're not careful, Oshirresh will seize the opportunity and curse you..."

"Ah, ah, it's alright, it's alright."

Upon hearing Nila's words, Yuan Chen quickly nodded, releasing Nila's hand and pushing Nila away to maintain distance. Under Nila 'Nila slightly puzzled smile, he explained:

"I'm not distancing myself from you or disliking you, it's just that the atmosphere here is a bit different from what you imagine... Well, how should I put it, if we get too close, other people might think there's something more to our relationship."

Hearing this, Nila tilted her head, blinked, glanced at Yuan Chen in front of her, then looked at Nedeli beside her, and clapped her hands as if she had thought of something, saying:

"I understand! You're afraid this girl will misunderstand!"

"... I guess so."

Yuan Chen looked at Nila in front of him with a hint of helplessness.

Because of the contract she made with Oshirresh, Nila's past, all her memories, traces, and even the words and emotions she left behind in this world were erased.

Under these circumstances, Nila's childish behavior did not surprise Yuan Chen.

Although Yuan Chen kept saying that Nila had lost a lot for this power, deep down, Nila didn't feel like she had lost anything.

She was also very clear about her future destiny, and these thoughts spurred her to tirelessly challenge increasingly powerful opponents, no matter where they were.

It's not naivety, but rather the neglect and indifference of those who are firmly on their own path towards their ideals towards the outside world.

After a brief period of observation, Nedeli gradually relaxed.

After parting ways with Yuan Chen, Nedeli inquired about demons in the wilderness. And now, Nila...

Just as Yuan Chen said, they are clearly in a state of symbiosis with demons.

The sublimation of a demon's emotion or desire. In this context, Nila's apparent lack of thought seems perfectly normal...

On the contrary, Yuan Chen, as a demon, is still able to think normally; this normalcy is what's abnormal.

Sensing the helplessness in Yuan Chen's words, Nila chuckled, then simply pointed to the corpse of Kah'Mu beside her and said:

"These are the gifts I brought back for you! Come and choose one!"
