She wanted to strike before the Watcher was completely free; otherwise, once it unleashed its full power, killing it would be an impossible task.

Once the monitor is freed, they will have to deal with much more than just the monitor in front of them.

In essence, the Watcher is like a stubborn rock blocking the exit of the passage between the two worlds. If it were to leave its position, more Watchers would enter the material realm from the void dimension through the passage.

The observer before them was as large as a mountain range, yet it was relatively small among them. If the other observers were to unite and launch an attack, they would have no chance of winning.

"Wait a little longer! We must wait until it has completely transformed before we make our move! Only then will the Monitor have a fatal weakness due to adapting to the rules of the material realm. Otherwise, we simply cannot kill a god without any weaknesses."

Cassiopeia retrieved Nightfall from the hive in advance, preparing herself. She secretly warned herself not to lose her composure and to strictly follow the Wild Hunt's plan.

The slightest mishap could drag not only her, but the entire world into utter ruin.

Chapter 810 Suppressing the Monitor

With no one interfering, Lissandra was once again under control, and the monitor's escape proceeded very smoothly.

The enormous arm grasped the Lost Bridge at the very bottom of the abyss, abandoned due to being covered in hernias. The spiked walls built by the Frostguards not only failed to stop the observer but instead became the gripping point of the giant hand.

The world's anchor has been shifted, glaciers have moved, avalanches have occurred in many places, and even in the remote village of Luxiang, far from the Howling Abyss, the long-dormant volcano is erupting again.

Ornn stopped forging, and the old furnace before him suddenly erupted, the spewing flames already scorching his beard. He calmed the fire, watching quietly as the bright flames conjured up the scene of the Howling Abyss.

Boom! The Lost Bridge, unable to bear the weight of the Watcher, was ripped apart, falling from the cliffs on either side like a ruler held in a giant hand. But this did not affect the Watcher's speed of escape at all. It re-inserted the Lost Bridge into the mountain, its massive body rising from the ground with its hands on the ground, like a demon king from hell.

During this process, the monitor even had the energy to form hand seals with its uppermost arms, blue light gathering at its fingertips and emitting a deafening buzz. Lissandra could see clearly that what the monitor was using was the same cruel magic she had used to sacrifice her blood-related sisters, countless Frostguard warriors, and the entire Yeti race!

It actually learned this magic and used it against the Bridge of Sorrow where she was, without having to pay such a terrible price? At this moment, Lissandra's heart shattered.

“It’s all over, just as I predicted and promised. Sisters, forgive me…” Lissandra murmured in despair as she looked at the apocalyptic scene.

"It's not over yet, don't be discouraged."

The Wild Hunt's voice cut into the ice coffin she used to seal her spirit, and a massive void rift appeared out of nowhere beneath the Bridge of Sorrow, diverting the freezing rays emitted by the Watcher.

The other end of the rift opened overhead, and a beam of light shot straight into the thunderclouds gathered by Volibear. The entire sea of ​​clouds was instantly frozen, turning into a massive ice sheet that paused for a moment in the high sky before slowly descending under the influence of gravity.

"What's going on?!"

"The sky...the sky has collapsed!!"

Desperate cries echoed as people fled into the main castle to escape the catastrophe. Only Volibear, watching the falling ice sheet, let out a wild, unrestrained laugh. "Where's Mei? Are you chanting 'Sky'? Is Lin here...?"

"Well done!" The giant bear's body rapidly expanded, transforming into a towering bear spirit that shouldered the ice sheet, shouting with an air of self-assurance, "Go ahead and do it! Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up!"

Xiong Ling spun around, bracing himself against the ice cap, and threw it with all his might. Endless lightning flowed through his body, and savage rage surged through his arms as he hurled the entire ice cap toward the Frozen Sea.

"Hurry up! It's coming out!" The Wild Hunt, who had been keeping a close eye on the Watcher's condition, saw that its lower body had completely transformed into a physical form and was about to emerge from the abyss. He quickly shouted to Cassiopeia, who finally took action.

"Arise! Submit to the Lord of the Underworld! King of Life and Death!" She imitated Mordekaiser's domineering manner, pointing Nightfall at the Watcher. The passage connecting to the Underworld was emitted from the hammer, condensing into a black line that connected to the Watcher.

The light instantly enveloped the observer, forming the outline of a black light. This black light possessed an inexplicable suppressive force, constantly compressing the observer's form, intending to draw it into the underworld.

According to the plan, the Watcher would be swallowed directly into the Underworld. However, its resistance exceeded Cassiopeia's expectations; it shrunk to one-fifth of its original size and then stopped changing, casually grabbing an ice pillar and throwing it at Cassiopeia on the bridge!

The icicle was riddled with holes from corrosion, but it was still formed from pure ice that had never melted in millennia, and its strength remained formidable. If it were to collide with the bridge, it would likely break in two, and everyone would fall through.

Life and death hang in the balance, and everyone's life is intertwined. To achieve victory, everyone has an inescapable responsibility.

"You still dare to make a move? Did you ask me first?!" Syndra made the first move, blindfolded, using her mental power to sense the surrounding situation.

A powerful surge of magic erupted from her body, forcefully slamming against the oncoming ice pillar. As she clenched her fist, the ice pillar shattered into ice shards under the immense pressure. With a powerful push, she pulled two boulders from the cliff and hurled them at the watcher's one eye.

The Watcher imitated her, catching the boulder and crushing it into dust. Syndra was enraged; the witch's colossal avatar behind her raised its head and, with a flick of its fingers, dropped a black star above the Watcher's head.

The single eye stared intently at the falling black star, letting it devour the light in the abyss, casting a thoughtful gaze. Syndra sensed that the black star's existence was being understood, being studied by a higher-dimensional being.

The situation was dire. She tried to unleash the Black Star by pinching her fingers, but the fleshy tentacles around the Monitor's eyes enveloped the Black Star first, severing the connection between Syndra and the Black Star. These tentacles continued to writhe and contract, eventually absorbing all of her annihilation power, and then slightly narrowed their eyes as if revealing a satisfied smile.

It stretched out one arm and raised it high. A point of black light was born from nothingness and condensed in the palm of its hand into a pitch-black sphere that devoured everything, dragging the entire Howling Abyss into the abyss.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the darkness. Kai'Sa, who had been standing on the bridge, appeared in the Watcher's palm with lightning speed, severing the black hole before it could fully form.

Life is a continuous process of movement, so when she is fast enough, she becomes the very thing that the observer fears most. The overwhelming aura she exudes makes the observer feel as if they are being scorched, and they clench their fists tightly.

Kaisa leaped into the air, dodging the five fingers, and simultaneously unleashed a burst of blue-purple fireballs from her spinning hands into blades of light. The Watcher's hand was instantly torn open, oozing black pus.

Another hand suddenly appeared behind her and slammed down before Kaisa could even disappear into the void. Kaisa, who was sent flying backward, crashed into the Lost Bridge on the cliff, causing everyone to gasp in surprise.

The indentations that wrap around the bridge are as resilient as the roots of an ancient tree. Although the bridge's stones were shattered, they were held up by these incredibly tough indentations, hanging in mid-air in a state of delicate connection, preventing it from completely collapsing.

The Earth Hernias, which had been dormant for thousands of years, were violently impacted and awoke with endless hunger, launching a fierce attack on Kasa, who was embedded in the bridge.

In an instant, several dazzling beams of light struck the bridge, turning the withered earth into ashes.

As the light faded, several imposing figures emerged. They were Star Spirits from the mountain peak, wielding the celestial power beyond Mount Targon.

The Wild Hunt's orders to them were to protect the key members of the Foundation at all costs and ensure the plan could proceed smoothly.

Chapter 811 All Mobilized

The Protoss mobilized in full force, descending upon the Lost Bridge like divine warriors to fight against the resurrected Earth Spirits.

They brandished their divine weapons, unleashing power from the heavens. The angel sisters' wings burned with holy fire, fiercely radiating a ring of flames.

The flames that punished the sinners spread instantly upon contact with the earth's edge, like igniting the wick of a kerosene lamp, setting the entire Lost Bridge ablaze.

The burning earth retracted, and the spirits of the sun, moon, and stars raised their divine weapons to communicate with the power beyond Mount Targon, their dazzling light connecting with it through the weapons in their hands.

Then they cleaved down their divine weapons, forcefully pouring their power into them. In an instant, all the earth's defenses developed tortoise-shell-like cracks, radiating a blinding light from within.

These earthen infarcts were all connected, and the purifying power rampaged through them, leaving no one unscathed. Amidst the radiant light, these earthen infarcts were all reduced to dust, and the Lost Bridge, having lost its support, sank halfway into the abyss.

"Are you alright, Kai'Sa?" The sound of dragging chains rang out. In order to win the final battle, Morgana had broken her vow to never fly again and came to Kai'Sa's side.

"Cough cough, I won't die." Kasha's body was embedded in the bridge, countless bones broken, and she coughed up blood. But with the resilient foundation repairing her, it seemed she would recover given some time.

Seeing Kai'Sa reach out an arm towards her, Morgana quickly pulled her out of the pit and asked with concern, "Why don't you go back to the Bridge of Sorrows and rest for a while?"

“No need.” Kai’Sa stubbornly rejected Morgana’s suggestion. Those of them who bore the Runestone should bear the responsibility of checking the Watchers’ relics. She would never allow herself to show the slightest weakness.

Syndra was still battling the Watcher on the bridge, but as she watched the Watcher learn her magic one move at a time and use it against her, Kai'Sa felt a sense of foreboding.

Sure enough, a short while later, another hernia emerged from the breach. Kasha turned her head to look, and saw that the black tentacles were intertwined, mimicking the shape of a flying dragon.

As if struck by a thought, she turned her gaze to the watcher's single eye, which was staring intently at Portil hovering overhead, analyzing the latter's composition through its gaze.

"We must suppress the monitors as soon as possible, or things will change!" With that thought, the dragons also swooped down at an astonishing speed.

Kaisa's armor surged with high temperature. After preheating, her shoulder blades aimed at the dragon and unleashed a series of scorching and dazzling missiles.

Icathia's torrential rain! You, you, Linlin, are you thinking of leaving? Are you even here yet...?

Missiles rained down, blasting the black dragon to smithereens, leaving it as tattered as a rag. Burning tentacles fell around it, as if a rain of fire was falling from the sky. But after the flames subsided, Kai'Sa saw the black tentacles from the walls begin to reach towards the wrecked dragon, burrowing into its body and repairing its riddled wounds.

The black dragon has been reborn. This time, it is no longer a bunch of tentacles stuck together. The tentacles intertwine with each other in a complex way, weaving into a denser structure. Kaisa can even see the texture of muscles on it.

"Not only is the repair speed fast, but the evolution speed is also very fast..."

She fired another round of missiles, but the dragon opened its mouth and spat out a black net, which covered and intercepted the missiles. It emerged unharmed from the explosions, letting out a silent roar, and suddenly opened its mouth to bite the group.

Instead of retreating, Kai'Sa advanced, unleashing purple flames from her fists that poured into the dragon's mouth. However, the dragon seemed oblivious to fear and pain, determined to bite even as pillars of fire pierced its body.

Kaisa simply placed her shoulder pods forward and put them into the dragon's mouth for it to bite. The two peaks tumbled and intertwined in the air, crashing towards an ice wall, but Kaisa was not hit and did not continue to fall, because a large number of tentacles welcomed them into their "embrace," instantly enveloping them both.

Before the tentacles could pierce her skin, the Wild Hunt once again used its overwhelming power to force them to release Kai'Sa and escape the embrace of Oblivion. But as soon as they were free, another dragon swooped down towards Kai'Sa. Its entire head instantly deformed and expanded, spreading out like a fishing net, seemingly intent on catching her completely.

Just then, a burning figure came chasing from behind. Engulfed in holy fire, Kyle cleaved the Sword of Judgment in two, the two blades crossing and slashing, golden light intersecting to form a cross, severing the black net along with the flying dragon.

The dragon exploded into a large cloud of black rain. Kyle, holding his sword, looked down at Kaisa and said, "Leave these beasts to us. You focus on dealing with the Watchers."

Kai'Sa nodded solemnly, determined not to disappoint them. She turned to look at the Watchers, and in her hand appeared the evil tree root she had once used to kill the Void Queen, that strange spear that simultaneously swirled with life and death.

She braced herself against the cliff face and shot out like an arrow, instantly reaching the watcher's eyes and thrusting her spear with all her might towards the one-eyed vertical pupil.

In an instant, a devastating burst of purple light erupted, followed by a powerful sense of blockage. A corneal-like energy barrier blocked Kai'Sa's attack, preventing the spear from advancing an inch and stopping just inches away from her eyeballs.

The monitor's pupils contracted and trembled, seemingly unable to immediately comprehend what Kaisa held in her hands, but it did understand the chilling killing intent in Kaisa's eyes. One of its arms suddenly slammed together, as if to crush this annoying ant in its palms.

"You dare to do this right under my nose? Did you even ask me?!" Syndra roared from above, using her powerful magic to stop the watcher's closing hand, buying Kassa some time.

By observing the Watcher's reaction, Kasha discovered that the single eye was the Watcher's weakness! Although her attack could not penetrate the barrier, it distracted the Watcher from dealing with her, causing his body to be compressed again by the Nightfall in Cassiopeia's hand.

Clearly, as long as they continue to exert pressure, they will eventually be able to send the Watchers to the underworld!

Kasha shared her discovery with the others, urging them to launch a concentrated attack to keep the watchers busy.

As the Monitor threw more and more arms into the fight, even a powerful Syndra gradually showed signs of weakness. Kai'Sa didn't fight to the death; instead, she retreated before being annihilated by the giant hand.

Just then, a deafening roar shook the heavens! The sky was engulfed in lightning, and a giant bear leaped down from above!

Volibear finally made its move. Looking into the eyes of the watcher, it understood what a hunger that devours everything meant, and it also understood why Kaisa took this matter so seriously.

As the very wrath of the land of Freljord, Volibear may disregard the fate of some mortals, but he cannot tolerate the Watchers devouring the life and magic that belong to this land!

Chapter 812 The Giant Bear's Fate

"I am Thunder Roar, I am Rolling Thunderstorm, I am Valhal! The Watcher, is it? Let Volibear take you on!"

Volibear leaped down with a lightning strike, his majestic bear form illuminating the dark abyss. Even the howling wind seemed to fall silent, as if stunned by Volibear's imposing presence. (The last two lines appear to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)

It easily smashed through the Shadow Bridge in the middle, leaving only the broken foundations on both sides of the entire bridge spanning the abyss. Then it plunged its claws into the ice wall, slowly bringing its falling body to a stop.

Volibear's arrival was undoubtedly good news for Kai'Sa and the others. Even LeBlanc had initially tricked him into joining the fray, hoping that he could step up and salvage the situation in the face of total defeat. Unexpectedly, the situation changed, and this demigod joined the battlefield ahead of schedule because he couldn't stand the Watcher.

Volibear, imbued with the power of lightning, channeled savage fury into the muscles of his limbs. One of the Watcher's arms formed a hand seal, and an ice wall rose from the ground, standing between the two behemoths.

An unstoppable force shattered the ice wall, ice crystals growing from the flesh and blood, opening the wounds and releasing cold. But Volibear did not tend to the wounds; they were proof of a bloody battle, old and new scars crisscrossing its majestic body—marks of honor it was proud of.

It continued its straight charge toward the observer, its heavy steps rushing toward its target, each step fueling its fury and transforming into an uncontrollable storm, the surrounding air crackling with lightning and sparks from the immense force.

The Watcher raised its arms, followed by two more beams of icy blue light. Trapped in the rift, Volibear had nowhere to hide; the ancient, ferocious magic instantly froze him into an ice sculpture!

Under the freezing rays, ice crystals covered Volibear layer by layer, the ice shell gradually thickened, and the outline of the running bear was gradually replaced by the sharp edges of ice.

An ominous premonition hung over Kai'Sa, like the imminent urgency of thunder following a lightning strike. The next moment, a deafening explosion erupted overhead.

boom!

A bolt of lightning erupted from the swirling dark clouds above, striking the ice sculpture head squarely and shattering the ice shell.

As the blinding light faded, the giant bear, scarred by countless blows, once again stood tall in the abyss, roaring in fury. With its renewed rage, its form grew ever larger, almost matching the width of the abyss—flesh and blood seemed to begin to disintegrate: muscles, fur, and bones began to separate, held together only by endless lightning. The swords behind it were engulfed in electric light, like blinding antennas, their arcs piercing back and forth through the dark clouds.

The monitor slightly widened his single eye, revealing a solemn expression.

Volibear was a being that even True Ice could not contain. It used Lissandra's ice magic to thoroughly enrage the giant bear, which then displayed the power befitting a demigod.

The roar shattered the icy shell, countless mirrors shimmering with magical light, reflecting Volibear's towering, terrifying form. Volibear landed on all fours in an attacking stance, its fur standing on end, lightning raging through its flesh, its scars glowing. Thunder poured from its mouth, as if it were about to explode at any moment.

Then, it charged toward the watcher, its enormous claws crushing the ice crystals scattered on the ground, and its raging lightning destroying all traces of civilization along its path.

The muscular city leaped high, as if flying into a narrow sliver of sky above the abyss. Endless lightning bolts extended from the dark clouds, connecting with its body. Raising its claws, it brought down with the thunder, its bear paws shaking the earth. Countless thick arcs of electricity burst forth from it, illuminating the dim sky as if it were daytime.

The Watcher was stuck at the entrance to the interdimensional passage and could not move. It used its four arms to confront the giant bear that was pouncing at it head-on, while its other two arms launched an attack from the side.

The colossal creatures clashed savagely, their lightning-infused claws tearing open bruised arms and splattering strange fluids. But the watcher's arm also took the opportunity to plunge into the bear's body, its fingernails digging through the flesh.

Two fists can't fight four hands, let alone six arms. Volibear felt a tearing sensation throughout his body. This pain manifested in his tendons, which robbed him of his ability to fight back. The tearing was even penetrating deeper into his bones, absorbing magic and injecting void energy, shielding him from the connection with lightning.

Volibear tried to use his weight to push forward and plunge his claws into the bulging single eye, but the arms held him back with tremendous force, and doing so only deepened his wound.

Kai'Sa sounded Ornn's horn, trying to offer some assistance. Eternal flames spread out, the massive arms sizzling and convulsing in pain, the stiff fur of the cloak curling into black lumps.

The monitor, annoyed by the constant barrage of attacks, swung an arm at Kai'Sa. Kai'Sa quickly dodged, immediately sensing a familiar, malevolent energy gathering behind the wall. She tried to warn Volibear, but it was too late.

In an instant, dozens of deadly purple rays shot out from the Monitor's palm, riddling the unsuspecting Volibear with holes. The rays pierced through the giant bear's body, leaving behind charred holes.

These death rays are life-form disintegration rays, a common attack method used by powerful void creatures. Released by the Watcher himself, they are hundreds of times more powerful than Kai'Sa's own.

Kai'Sa stared silently at Volibear, who stood motionless. Half of its face was gone, revealing gleaming white bones and teeth, with eerie black blood flowing from its mouth. Its body was riddled with wounds; the cleaving rays had pierced through its flesh, leaving charred marks on its fur.

The splitting ray didn't kill it; lightning crackled in its wounds, attempting to reconnect its flesh and blood. The ancient god stared silently at the single eye before it, lightning gathering around it as its rage intensified.

But the Watcher showed no intention of ceasing its attack, tearing Volibear's tendons before it could gather its strength again. The giant bear, bound tightly by six arms, was unable to unleash its savage strength. Its magic was also being continuously drained, severing the bear spirit's thunderous rage. Volibear had only managed to hold on until now because of its inextinguishable fury.

But if willpower cannot generate the corresponding power, then it is merely a futile and useless struggle to survive, prolonging the torment one suffers. As the Monitors' research on Volibear became more and more "in-depth," its form evolved to become more and more perfect, and its power gradually exceeded the limits that Volibear's body could withstand.

After a agonizing roar that echoed through the abyss, one of the giant bear's arms was ripped off by the watcher. The splattering blood poured down like a torrential downpour, staining the cliff face red.

Chapter 813 A Sudden Turn of Events

The Watcher ripped off Volibear's arm, and his screams echoed through the abyss.

The giant bear did not fall because the watcher's six arms held it tightly, preventing it from collapsing. It tried to bite the tentacles with its only movable mouth, but not only did it miss, it was also slapped hard across the side of its face by the arms, half of its cheek was torn open by the nails, and blood flowed continuously along the gruesome wound.

Volibear still hasn't given in, but that won't change anything. If he can't find a way to break the deadlock, he'll become the first feast for the watchers after their release.

Now, the monitor has extended its arm in front of it, as if the next second its index finger is about to plunge deep into its eye socket, flip off its skull, and then smash its brain.
