I love that Bel'Veth is proof that the Void's purpose has backfired. The Watchers made it adapt to anything so nothing reality throws at it can stop it. Yet that adaptation has caused the Void to want to exist. Now it wants to become as much like life as possible. The Watchers have essentially doubled their problems now.

Bel'veth is basically "The enemy of my enemy is my friend", and I love it.

Reality: "Wait, I am the bad guy? The Watchers: "Always has been."

Other voidborn often acts similar to the creature they're based on. Cho'gath and Rek'sai acts like an apex predator driven by the desire to consume. While Vel'koz wants to destroy reality much like the watchers themselves. But Bel'veth, created by consuming an entire city, acts like a society. it wants to live and thrive.

I like that the reason for Bel'Veth to have a head is less to be attractive (which will always be part of the reason) but is instead to make her approachable. As Kai'sa said, she liked it better when she had the human head. This allows ger to not only be a leader in battle, but also a leader in negotiations. Bel'Veth being a leader and taking a humanoid form is changing the Void from a faceless species of destruction to an actual faction.

Don't forget fiddlesticks, the first scream of creation. He was the Fear the void felt when reality was thrust upon them.

Are they saying that Bel'Veth has thousands of years of collective life experience?

I absolutely LOVE that Bel'Veth is so unquestionable, so unavoidable that the offer of her choice is terrifying. "Your people will be given a chance, a chance that means nothing, but its more than the watchers would give" what a great way to make a partnership with the villain

It's be really cool if they went the doomslayer route with Kassadin.

Watchers: create void to erase reality Void: becomes reality Sad watchers sounds

So bel veth turn out to be somewhat a positive figure, interestingly she might have been affected by human affection and wisdom as she consumed the city, and become the genesis of void revolution. The concepts behind these stories are just brilliant

"Perhaps, in time, they wouldfind a weapon to slay her. Or a hero to face her." Jax: "Who wants a piece of the champ?"

Bel'Veth is already so much more interesting than Viego was. It would appear that Riot learned from their mistakes and they actually gave us a villain who is not only threatening, but also complex.

Ngl, the way Riot wrote her bio is super cool. I think we haven't had a bio like hers before?

"Perhaps you can find a weapon or a warrior. You will not" Ornn: And I took that personally.

Kassadin is so cool and yet he has so little lore, I can't wait for him to get more story.

With this story I feel like Bel’Veth’s design makes a hell of a lot more sense. she’s not a predator hunting people, luring them in with her false appearance before striking. She’s a THING playing at being human. Taking a human shape not out of necessity or cruel efficiency. But out of a desire to emulate. Even if it’s uncanny, strange and incomplete. She’s not just alive. She’s sentient. And that’s freaking horrifying.

just a clarification since this is a huge misconception, the birth of runeterra is what cause the the watchers to woke up not the celestial realm.The celestial realm and the void once existed in a state of balance for countless eons but when runeterra was created by the world runes, its existence perturbed the balance of the universe. Warping both the celestial realm and the void.Thats why it mentions in bards bio that runeterra is producing a dissonant song that is disrupting the natural cosmic order of all things. And in vel'koz and bel'veths bio it mentions that the void was corrupted into ''something'' and that something is the watchers.The watchers are those pieces of the nothing that is forced to "exist".Anti-Gods of oblivion yearning to destroy everything so that they are no longer " something " and restore the voids original purity.And to do that of course they want to destroy runettera since its what cause the unbalance in the first place, and perhaps the celestial realm after that.But their repeated attempts to twist the world against itself took a toll on the Void, and a pattern slowly began to emerge as more and more knowledge and power was absorbed, that pattern is now embodied in Bel'Veth, "the new Void", that is the opposite of the Watchers. The Watchers want to be nothing. Bel'Veth wants to be everything.

Necrit points out the use of sound is hinting at Bard, but we all know it’ll be Seraphine

imagine bel'veth trying to predict what rammus was thinking

I can't wait to see a cinematic with Vel'koz vs Bel'veth because both of them seem to have lots of power

I really can't wait until they adapt this into the mmo and make us fight a Bel'Veth that consumed half of Shurima.

Damn they shouldve animated the whole story because that was wild..

I like how they made the human appearance of belveth matter in the story. It really feels like this was in the works ever since the first few void champions were released. I mean almost every modern void champion has some human aspect about them that goes against what the void represents. Kha zix just wants to be the best predator. That is a personal goal that shows an individuality that goes against the mindless, collective destruction of reality that most void creature have. If given the chance kha zix would rebel against the watchers if they threatened his progress to perfect evolution by destroying everything. Velkoz is obsessed with collecting, cataloguing data about the world and it’s inhabitance even to the point that he would destroy fellow void entities that threaten the knowledge he seeks. I believe there is a small part of velkoz that would rebel against the watchers that he profess to serve if they came to destroy the world too early, before he felt he had collected enough information. Reksai is the biggest one for this theory as she represents the void spawn that has one of the most human aspects within her very being. She has a brood, a family and she serves as their mother and protects them all. This completely goes against the principles of the void. They don’t have freinds much less the capacity to care but reksai and the variety of xer’sai that she cares for have built a community with its own territory that she enforce with each xer’sai serving a specific role in the community. This is complex social behavior goes above even most irl animals. I don’t know if riot planned for this but this makes belveth human visage makes complete sense as she is the most human void born desiring not just to rule the world but one of the human trait , the desire to create. That goes completely against the desire to erase that is pinnacle to the void desire.

If kai'sa wasn't corrupted here, My guess is that She in the end will acept bel'veth's offer, and Bel'Veth will Upgrade her Symbionte

Void: "WE SHALL CONSUME EVERYTHING AND MAKE IT OUR OWN" The literal guardians of runeterra (aka. Targonian aspects, gods, sentinels of light, etc): "Ah yes, just an average relaxing Tuesday, isn't it?"

i’m so pumped for this zone to be in the riot mmo if that actually happens… sounds like such a sick area…

Truly the reincarnation of "If you stare into the Abyss, the Abyss will stare into you."

I just love her dynamic with Kai'Sa in the short story If you can't beat'em, chill with them

If she’s going after all the watchers I hope we get to see Lissandra in the event. And if we do I think she’d side with bel veth simply because she has already given up. She is holding the watchers back, but believes that they’re going to destroy everything anyways.

I’m glad they aren’t doing the event soon, I feel like they have a lot of things to prepare before starting it and I hope they plan a good story arc fitting for the characters that will be involved. Besides, we got a few small events this year to entertain ourselves.

2:08 ''and before there was nothing, there were monsters'' it fits so well

I've just realized that Bel'Veth recreating cities is almost like a metaphor for AI art At first they look like a mere mockery of what they are supposed to represent but as time goes on their creator is learning more and more and they become more and more accurate

That "I'll give you time, however much time you want. It will be futile, but it will be a chance" is a god tier line

God I love these videos you cleanly explain the lore to me when I. didnt understand it after reading it thank you and keep it up!

Honestly never stop making content Necrit. I love listening to your videos while I work and have learned so much about league. The game might suck sometimes but the lore is amazing

Kind of late, but I just noticed that in Kai'sa's splash art, there is a void ray fish thing that Bel'Veth summons as minions. The butterfly that was on the boat in the cinematic is also in her splash art, so I think her splash art is a post-Bel'Veth encounter, possibly hinting at her journey to find the watchers.

Hey Necrit, could you imagine making a huge episode as a special? (e.g. for 1 Million Subscribers) Where you try to tell most of the lore we know until now, like you did a while ago, but an updated version

The "if void had a god this is what it would look like" gave me chills.

Kai'sa's and Bel'veth's (god that's a lot of apostrophes) confrontation reminds me of Muzan and the lower moon demons. Kai'sa wanted to run, one of the demons run away and got decapitated (which perhaps may had happen to Kai'sa if she really chose to run). They both have the same sense of superiority around them, looking down on lesser beings, watching, observing. The only difference is that Bel'veth is more... benevolent.

Im pretty sure the event is going to happen in riot's mmo. Imaging the "Reality vs. Void" worlds war for the sake of existence, its just too EPIC to be a seasonal grind in league of legends. It MUST be some kind of a first-player "you are the hero and YOU are saving the world" experience.

Bel'veth talks about kai'sa finding a weapon that could kill her, what if Ornn is the one who will make said weapon? He already made a entire bridge that could trap the Watchers, who are more powerful than Bel'veth, he could forge sometinhg to at least trap her too.

Awesome video, I can really aprecciate the effort

I'm still wondering if rammus is going to be in the void event like he or she? saves people from monsters right?

The Sound is Seraphine. It is going to break the silence of the Void & all of existence including the Watchers. Seraphine will be the only one remaining in the end.

Imagine if they would make a new arcane season about the void i would love that

Such an amazing story and concept! It's very creative and logically built! Gj riot

What I'm getting from this is that bel'beth isn't a villain per say. She's more like an anti-villain with her own goals and motivations asside of the watchers. I guess the only thing capable of destroying the void, is the void

Probably the reason for the splash art is related to reworking Kai'sa since the void evolves and changes so does her parasitic armour

Bel'Veth is fascinating in that its the void that gives you a chance. Versus the outright annihilation of the watchers. Its a choice that you hate but... If you have to choose. Bel'veth is the one that gives a glimmer of hope.

this video throws me back to 2018 man... the nostalgia is real...

Now that I think about it, this is looking a lot like the Flood from Halo, with all the consciousness and memories together.

Bel'veth: Maybe in time u can find a warrior to face me Malphite, The darkin, Jax, the shuriman ascended, the targon ascended, the celestial champs and AURELION SOL: hold my beer

Necrit talking about how powerful and scary she is and then showing a picture of her is so funny to me. Sadly her model doesn't look scary at all while in the cinematic she looked hella scary...

amazing videos bro. very nice especially while high

I love that like the void is infecting the reality, the reality is infecting the void in the same way, and the void borns are the creation of the entropy process as the two mixes. Much like life and diversity in the creation is cause by flow of entropy from perfect uniform order to perfect uniform chaos.

This sounds like totally Tomernta RPG (Brazillian RPG system). It is exactly the same principle: There's another dimension that wants to invade your world in search of something. In Tormenta's case, the invaders wants to become God, bc in their reality they already consumed everything and became one, even time they've consumed, but they couldn't become gods. In Runeterra, Void wants to invade to simply consume and exist. And it's fun to see that the area that became the Lavender Sea is Void/Bel'Veth, meaning that area is one merged with its surroundings. In Tomenta happens the same: The area that gets corrupted becomes one with the Tormenta. Areas consumed in both scenarios are just one entity. Really like the way the lore is going so far, bring me back memories

So kai sa has two options. Help belveth kill the watchers and maybe buy time for her or someone else to gain the strength to kill belveth (cost of this being helping belveths plans) or attempt to fight both knowing that as of now no one can defeat belveth, (save for maybe bard and aurelion but i doubt she even knows much about them let alone cross her mind)

Every lore video, every cinematic, every song and every update brings me back to installing league again, and after 2 matches of absolute sadness I immediately regret that decision. It's actually like riot was testing bots in matchmade games rn..

"Fast and big is something she's not used to."

Bel'Veth: Bring a champion who can defeat me. Kai'Sa: *Brings Aurelion Sol* Bel'Veth: Wait, that's illegal!

I really wanna know how a fight would look like between Mordekaiser and Bel'Veth.

Nice video as always.

The Void: You are what you eat! You become what you consume! Bel'veth: Literally? The Void: Literally.

I find it kinda stupid that they named a city after a god of oblivion, its just kinda too perfect to me lol. I could've done without that.

I think that the summer event is a void event, but in freiljord, basically Kai'sa going there, meeting Sej, Ornn (maybe new udyr) Lissandra to finally stop the watchers and getting ready for Vel'Veth

im just here cus i genuinely enjoy all of necrits videos, voice and him as a person.

Since this is 100% turning into a sentinels of light sorta deal, if there's a group of people I could think of that stand a chance it'd be Swain, Lux, The acended, a stretch but Thresh, also a stretch but Le-blanc, Ryze, and Aurelion sol

I have a theory, that might sound streach. What if the cinematic with Kaisa and Belveth happent in the past, so the corruption in her art is when Kaisa go to North in order to fight the wathers. Im not 100% sure on the map places but lets say what if Pantheon end up in Feylord after his fight with Leona? As Kaisa and Pantheon fight the watchers, pantheon find out his weapons are not effective, this is where Orn comes as he craft a weapon for pantheon in order to fight the watchers. Pantheon then with his new power face with Belveth and the fight ends like last season with Viego, bad guy lose, the exile hero get his redemtion and life continues to runetera.

Interestingly Belveth could be Aatrox Mordekaiser true enemy, like Aatrox want to annihilate everything and Mordekaiser want to conquer everything for himself, New nemesis

The way the void becomes corrupted with each thing they eat may be hinting that cho'gath rework would allow him steal part of the enemy when he ults or his abilities mutates depending on what he eats.

i love her story it has so many possible outcomes its so good till now

My knowledge on league lore is limited to Renekton and Nasus are brothers and that Illaoi likes mangos, but looking at Bel'Veths attack speed we can easily deduce that she's a massage therapist. Ez

I don't see why the Void event wouldn't happen after her release. Pretty sure we'd still get the event quite soon

I half expected Kassadin to warp in at the last minute, and warp kai'sa out of there, or at least attempt to do so...given that she was the only reason he is still roaming the void....not knowing his doughter can by will just get out of the void when she finds a tunnel.

The watchers story reminds me of the chaos invasion in the Warhammer world.

but nobody ask "how is bel'veth"

Do you think that perhaps they're leading up to a Shadow isles vs The void event somewhere down the line? I was Wracking up my brains as to who in lore would have an advantage over Bel, and my mind came to Thresh, being she's made up of So much knowledge and experience it seems to me she's a massive collection of possible souls, perhaps the magic of the shadow isles could disrupt her quite effectively. After all the void wants to unmake everything, but the shadow isles have seen death and erasure and still persisted. Perhaps only they who have defied non existence once, have the power to combat that which specialises in erasing.

I think that Kaisa splash art just shows what she will look like during the event. She was against the void and now that she has to work together or even for the void in form of Bel'veth, that is was corrupts her.

I just hope some champs are also dragged into the upcoming event. (Icathian, Targon, Darkin). (A hopeful Aatrox fanatic)

So weird question. Wasn't Kassadin already crazy? Like his want to save Kai'sa turning to revenge and then an obsession y'know, like the Doom Slayer?

my biggest question is how do primordial entities like fiddle or A Sol interact with Bel'Veth Like could fiddle embody Bel'Veth's fear? or would he embody the fear of those she consumed?

"A sound woke us, and made us change from our perfect forms." Bard: Bwong.

The void champs are my favorites. So glad for more lore

I feel like riot adding a champion to encompass the event is just putting the story in an awkward spot. There's really not a great way forward where everyone lives, and riot isn't huge about killing off champs because it ends their story. Even viego is just sealed off and he's probably the most removed from the story they've ever made a champion. So either a lot of champs get corrupted by the void and we sit on that because we can't have them win or lose, Bel'veth decides she doesn't want to eat everything, Bel'veth only kills the watchers and basically just replaces them, or Bel'veth is wholly unsuccessful and is an overhyped cartoon villian screaming she'll win next time. Personally the kills the watchers and replaces them is my favorite as it opens runeterra to have more prophets like malzahar and can sustain their status quo while still moving the story forward, but its not really a solution. Thats just how i feel about bel veth though.

I hope we get a lore event, I got really hyped up for a lore event this summer. Come on riot you can't make it all about egirls on the beach. This looks very cool lorewise but i'm a bit bummed they didn't talk about zilean and jax. And I know the next rework is udyr and skarner but I feel like a zilean and cho'gath rework, at least a VGU would make this event even better. If they're really postponing it, i hope they update those two and give cho some lore and polygons.

Necrit needs to be hired as a lore narrator so that he’s the canon voice of league lore.

Bold to assume that reality (or, in that case, Runetera's reality) is different that the "uncanny" world of bel'veth. Reality itself is just like her world, bizarre, disturbing with missing parts.

Kai'sa: HOW CAN WE EVEN FIGHT HER, SHE IS AN ENTIRE CITY! Jax: Wanna see me destroy a entire city?

10:50 "You will not", wow I got chills man

I imagine bard breaking down some sick beats and waking up the watchers

I’m gonna assume this has to do with the hex core after It consumes Victors blood, I’m so hyped for the arcane lore implications of this

Necrit, someone asked me who's gonna win. Void or the Mist.

Bel" Veth has wing span of 28 meters , Her body is roughly half her wingspan in length so around 14 meters and if you add the tail to the core body its should be around 14 meters as well.

I knew my small cho'gath size was perfection. Not just because I can't get my stacks...

i love the void. super excited being a malz main

With the reference to bard it makes me think that wherever he's from could be another new "void-ish" realm where we could get crazier looking mystic brings like he is

I would love if the event made us choose a side watchers or Bel'Veth and depends on what side we choose the lore would change as well because the last event wasn't that good

Feels like a massive set up for a Bel’veth version or The ruined king game.

Bel'Veth is really giving me Halo "gravemind" vibes, especially with the deals being struck like halo 3. VERY nice
