Why does kindred not have Viktor as a rival?

Kindred is the physical embodiment of death in runterra hence why they would hate the members of the shadow isles who are all in a state of undeath (this classes as immortality) so if they do not like immortals (even the natural ones) why is viktor not a rival of them? Viktor is most likely if not certainly immortal due to his augmentations and i don't think dying will be ever on his to do list. when it comes to transhumanism immortality almost always comes with the package so why does kindred not see viktor and his glorious evolution as a huge threat? if viktor did succeed in his goal (which he may do in the future if the battle cast and project skins turn out to be canon) nobody would die except for his foes and kindred would be rendered a pointless spirit and wolf would probably get bored and eat lamb.

what do you all think?

While they may not look favorably on artificial means of expanding one's life, nothing Viktor's doing is defying normal conventions of the soul passing on after death.

Plus it's not like being metal makes you immune to death. There's a finite amount of metal in the universe, so even if Viktor and those he augmented became fully machine and kept themselves alive with machinery that they kept rebuilding all the time for millennia, there'd reach a point where they couldn't go further and would rust away, finally dying. And it's not like being a machine's gonna help you when the stars die and the universe goes cold, making it impossible to live even for a mechanical being.

Kindred's an inevitability, even for folks like Viktor.

I feel like Shadow Isle champs would fit being Kindred rivals more. They're the ones defying death. Victor is just prolonging the inevitable.
