Upon hearing Yuan Chen's question, Kai'Sa nodded and then promptly deactivated the symbiote armor that concealed her identity.

As the armor covering her body completely disappeared, Kai'Sa's face was exposed to the night.

The moon was nice tonight, quite bright. With the added enhancement of the dragon's power, Yuan Chen could clearly see that the Kai'Sa before him was about 80% similar to the Kai'Sa he remembered.

The storylines of LoL and LoR are different; they belong to two different worlds within the same Worldview. In this context, Kai'Sa in LoL is primarily fighting against the Void, in a developmental stage. However, in LoR, Kai'Sa not only stands alone but also has her own team, fighting against the Void's invasion together.

Judging from the current state of Kai'Sa... it's quite clear that she should be the latter.

The former is more aesthetically pleasing, both in its Original Painting and in-game model. In contrast, the latter is more mature. In particular, its Void Symbiosis armor has grown into a killing weapon that combines the positive characteristics of all creatures from Runeterra and the Void through constant battles and devouring.

The floating cannons that were floating on his shoulders also multiplied from two into wings.

Looking at Yuan Chen before her, this Kai'Sa, who was from the past or the future, didn't speak. Instead, she shook her head in slight amazement after a moment of silence.

"Although I've been in this world for some time now... it wasn't until I saw you that I was certain this world wasn't an illusion."

"... What's the meaning?"

Upon hearing Kai'Sa's words, Yuan Chen frowned slightly and asked, "Coming to this world? Do you mean you're not from this world, or that you're not from this timeline?"

"Neither. To be precise, it's more complicated, because my last impression of you was that you destroyed everything..."

Kai'Sa glanced at Yuan Chen in front of her, shook her head, and said with a hint of helplessness:

"In my previous world... or rather, in my original world, my understanding of you was very limited. But according to the survivors, you are the 'Bringer of Ruin.' The areas you pass through, whether city-states or towns, will eventually be destroyed due to various reasons, either by violent conflicts or magical upheavals."

"Including when you arrived in Icathia, the Void of the Lost Lands devoured your soul, and you yourself became part of the Void, ultimately orchestrating the final cataclysm..."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen frowned slightly.

Although not much was said, the amount of information contained within it is undeniably substantial.

"If it's convenient, let's discuss this in detail."

"No problem, I have plenty of time... before the crisis arrives."

With that, Kai'Sa turned around, nodded to Yuan Chen, and then walked toward the temple.

Seeing this, Yuan Chen followed. Upon entering, Yuan Chen saw many familiar people... and these familiar people were not alone, but rather the natives of this world, as well as people from an unknown future like Kai'Sa.

The first to be affected was Elder Bel'Veth, Shalatai, whom I had met at Kai'Sa's house before. Shalatai, whom I had met once before, still looked like an ordinary person. Apart from being fluent in various languages, she was not much different from ordinary people.

In contrast, sitting beside Shalatai, who came from the same world as Kai'Sa and had already achieved symbiosis with the Void, Shalatai of the Void appeared much more aloof.

They are not that different in appearance; it's more about their temperament.

Wearing a slightly worn cloak, her long, gray-white curly hair fell through the hood onto her aged face. Her gray eyes stared at Yuan Chen, and although she didn't say much, Yuan Chen could sense a hint of hostility hidden within them.

Although concealed by the cloak, Yuan Chen could see that the symbiotic armor beneath it covered most of the old woman's body. Beside her, there was also an astonishingly large musket.

Its enormous size made it seem impossible for a human to wield, and beneath the scales on the surface of the gun, Yuan Chen could clearly feel energy flowing from the Void.

This is not a melee weapon... or rather, rather than close combat, this weapon should be used for long-range bombardment like artillery.

After all, in the evolution of Void Creature, they either continuously strengthen their physique and scales like the Xer'sai, or they enhance the release of a certain aspect of energy like the Void Dreadbeast and the Void Abomination.

The one in front of us clearly belongs to the latter category.

In addition, there are the Desert Priestess from another world, the Void Blaster, and the Void People, whom I haven't seen before, who, like these others, have achieved a symbiotic relationship with the Void.

Yes, there are two Priestesses of the Desert Light, one native to this world and the other from another. However, they do not bear any trace of Void Symbiosis.

The two Desert Light Priestesses are roughly the same in appearance, but the Desert Light Priestesse from another world, like Shalatai from another world, is more mature in temperament and details of appearance and physique.

This maturity can be understood as being constantly prepared for battle. However, unlike the Void Shalatai, the Lightless Priestess from another world is more gentle, and her aura is brighter.

This is also related to the power of the Priestess of the Desert Light... When Bel'Veth was swallowed by the Void, the Priestess of the Desert Light awakened the power of the sun from the Ancient Shurima era through her devout faith.

It was precisely because of the protection of the sun's power that the people of Bel'Veth had the determination to fight.

Seeing the diverse group of people before him, Yuan Chen somewhat realized why he had felt a sense of familiarity, or rather, similarity, when he met Shalatai at Kai'Sa's house.

It now seems that it wasn't because of Shalatai herself, but because this Shalatai in this world came into contact with another Shalatai who had already achieved symbiosis with the Void. While learning about the future of their world, she also became tainted by a similar aura, thus allowing herself to perceive the scent of the Void...

"It seems the world is truly shrouded in more and more mysteries..."

After hearing Yuan Chen's emotion, Kasha nodded and then said:

"Our information is very limited... but according to what 'you' once said, once you see us, you will receive a corresponding 'revelation.' Although we don't know what the revelation is, given our circumstances, we can only choose to believe."
