Did the void just corrupt him with arcane power? or? :P Not trying to actually hate or sth, I just started reading the lore bcs it's really REALLY interesting. and as an Aatrox Main, I was kinda confused xD What did the void/does the void did/do to people like Aatrox? And also, is Zoe that powerful that it gave humans the way to defeat the Darkins? Also, how did Aatrox look before beeing trapped by Zoe?

The fight against the Void was so brutal and vicerous that they basically got the worst type of PSTD possible from the fight against the Void. So yeah, it kinda corrupted their minds, in some specifc cases their bodies were corrupted, but we dont know if thats the case for any champion, and they were minority anyway.

Zoe didnt trap the darkins, a previous host of the Aspect of Twilight did. In the same way that "our" Pantheon didnt die in Aurelion's color story. But yeah Zoe is pretty powerful. She has shown the power to twist time and space to from portals, manipulate time both in the physical dimension and others dimensions, she ignores laws of physics such as gravity as easily as you can jump, steal spells and can warps the "arcane mathematics", those things werent really explained but it is said that they govern realities so I guess they're important.

About Aatrox's old form, thats the only description given to us:

Remade as one of the Ascended, his wings were the golden light of dawn, and his armor sparkled like a constellation of hope from beyond the great veil.

I guess the void somehow corrupted the darkins' minds, made them vicious and they started fighting each other. They were honorful warriors who fought for the well-being of others, then became brutal and selfish assholes who only had bloodshed and power in their head.

That doesn't just come from fighting for ages, I am pretty sure it's also the void's fault. It made them go mad.

It is said that the void corrupted the minds of the ones that fought at Icathia and the those ones ended up being the Darkin. Which doesn't make sense since we have seen what a void corruption does to beings like Rasho from Nami's comic.

I remember somewhere reading a rioter saying that "the Ascended havent ended with going against the humanity just because the Void twisted their mind, it is mostly Fall of Shurima igniting their mortal flaws that were already increased by the Ascension".

After all of this years godlike powers, suddenly them losing their purpose made them think they can do anything because they can. Empire was their everything, it was what they were told. Serve the empire, serve the emperor. Conquer and control for Shurima.

Void plays a role in their madness but I don't think it is the big bite.

Just so you know the Void made a ot of people on that Battlefield against the void go crazy but The void didnt corrupt them in the sense of making them their servants! They do not serve the void they are basically selfish and brutal now and only work for themselves..

And just FYI, the aspects have a much more general and somewhat unsual powers as they can take a humans speech or even sight away! So its not only war knowledge and portal magic like Zoe has
