The God of the Void Descends

Everyone turned toward the sound. Sonia, dressed in a long black gown and blessed with an angelic face, was walking out of the temple.

Under normal circumstances, they would have taken a closer look at Miss Sonia and offered a few heartfelt compliments.

But at this moment, all their attention was focused on what Miss Sonia had just said.

Lord Kassadin was about to descend, and they might have the honor of meeting him?

At that thought, no one dared make a sound. They merely watched Miss Sonia in silence.

Seeing that she had come to his rescue, Tony felt immensely grateful to Harvey and quietly slipped toward the back.

Just as everyone was guessing where the great Lord Kassadin would appear from,

a massive purple-black hole appeared in the sky above Void Island. Deep purple Void Power spread through the air, an inherently terrifying sight.

Yet as the purple black hole reflected starlight that filled the sky, it drew the reverence of every Void Cult member.

A colossal figure over two hundred meters tall emerged, its body formed from purple starlight. It wore a white robe and golden armor, with a golden mask concealing its features, while its eyes shone like a pair of golden wheels, releasing dazzling light.

Holding a sparkling Void Blade in its right hand, as though the weapon had been forged from stars, it stepped out of the purple black hole, seeming to reach out from a distant river of stars and descend upon this place.

As the figure appeared, everyone held their breath.

Even Sonia, who had met Mr. Kassadin countless times and had grown accustomed to his lazy demeanor, held her breath at the sight of this mysterious, majestic, and powerful figure.

Even Tony, who knew this was merely one of Harvey’s avatars, stared at the scene in disbelief.

"The great God of the Void has descended!"

As the divine figure descended, purple Void Energy spread out, bathing the entire island beneath purple starlight and creating a breathtaking spectacle.

Many people on Xandar saw the astonishing phenomenon from afar.

Hundreds of Nova Corps soldiers stationed throughout Xandar City stared in horror at the intense purple light erupting from the southeast.

Several Nova Corps commanders also wore grave expressions.

"Norman, when you requested a meeting last time, there wasn’t really a problem with your wording, was there?"

A poised and noble-looking woman looked at Norman Halls and asked.

"Following your instructions, I definitely showed sufficient goodwill. We offered one billion just to speak with him."

"But Kassadin was unwilling to meet with us."

Norman Halls, a burly blond man, answered with a serious expression.

"We originally intended to assess just how troublesome this man was, but we never expected him to reach such a level."

"With so much energy, if it erupts at this distance, the affected area will spread directly to Xandar City."

"The protective shield has already been activated. Let’s first observe his movements."

"If he intends to fight us, he probably won’t unleash it on his own island. He would descend directly on Xandar City instead."

Several centurions were exchanging opinions.

They were all elite commanders wearing three-star Nova Suits, powerful enough to fly rapidly through the vacuum of space.

They had encountered many powerful enemies.

But they had never seen an existence like God of the Void Kassadin.

Kassadin could not be described as a person. Only terms such as monster, demon, or god could describe the threat he represented.

Faced with an unknown and powerful existence, provided he had not displayed hostility,

the Nova Corps also wanted to speak with Kassadin and determine exactly what he intended to do.

But when they had previously sought an audience, Kassadin had not given them the opportunity, and they could not simply show up at his door.

If he assumed they intended to force him into submission and a battle broke out, Xandar would suffer enormous casualties.

So the matter had been delayed until now.

However, their surveillance and observation of Void Island had never weakened. It had even been intensified considerably.

Therefore, even during the New Year, when everyone planned to spend the holiday with their families, the instant the anomaly appeared over Void Island,

an alarm was immediately sounded, notifying all centurions and Nova Corps soldiers.

A meeting was convened at once to discuss how to handle the situation. For now, the conclusion was to wait and see.

"I hope they have some decency. Even if they intend to fight, they shouldn’t start a battle on New Year’s Day, when every household is celebrating."

"I deeply apologize for disturbing everyone’s holiday, but all centurions must be prepared to deploy at any time."

Iraani Rael, Xandar’s supreme commander, stood in the command room and issued her orders while looking at the projections around her.

"Yes!"

The centurions answered in unison.

On Void Island, after the great Lord Kassadin, God of the Void, descended,

"We welcome the great God of the Void!"

Without anyone needing to command them, hundreds of people dropped to one knee with a swish and lowered their heads. Their voices were perfectly unified, shaking the heavens, and the respect and admiration in their words were deeply moving.

Hearing those words, seeing that scene, and feeling the infectious atmosphere, Tony felt that things had reached this point. It seemed inappropriate if he did not join them.

So Tony descended from the air and joined the crowd.

"The Void Cult has few rules apart from its doctrine and the three commandments."

"I have seen and heard your heartfelt prayers, your devout faith, and your growth."

"So raise your heads."

"Today is Xandar’s New Year, a day of reunion, celebration, and festivity."

"Whether or not you are from Xandar, follow the local customs and celebrate to your hearts’ content."

After Harvey descended using Kassadin’s true form, he stood in the air and looked down upon the hundreds below, his voice echoing throughout the cosmos with a hint of approval.

"Yes!"

Everyone answered in unison.

Precisely because the Void Cult had so few restrictive rules, most of them instinctively followed the only three commandments.

Even though many of them had never seen Lord Kassadin, God of the Void, on the island, they had maintained devout faith.

Now that the great Lord Kassadin, God of the Void, had descended, they knew that everything they had seen and heard was real, and their hearts became even more reverent toward the Void.

As everyone raised their heads,

God of the Void Kassadin took a step forward. His body seemed to slip into the Void, vanishing without a trace in an instant.

This sight made the eyes of the Void Cult members present grow even more fervent.

This was precisely the heaven-reaching power they had witnessed when they first began worshipping the Void—the ability to cross a river of stars in a single step.

After God of the Void Kassadin departed, the starlight covering the skies above Void Island slowly faded, leaving behind a strange and wondrous sight.
