Would Aatrox work with the watchers to destroy runeterra?

Aatrox’s VO has a line where he directly states that he would welcome the void but Im wondering if Aatrox would actively serve the watchers or would his former pride of being a vanguard against the void make him choose to fight it instead and enact oblivion in another way.

Another question about Aatrox is how would he react upon running into other darkin? Would he be friendly to them since they know his suffering or would he try to kill them lile everyone else in order to reach oblivion.

In the back of his mind he is already working for the Watchers.

Darkin are Ascended that have been corrupted by the Void.

Your answer: No Aatrox wants to kill the watchers... When his rework was done he had an interaction with lissandra saying something among the lines of: First I will kill you and then those who you call Masters...

Funnily enough she doesnt call them masters anymore and wants them desd herself but thats ok since Riot is a mess ATM

I don't think Aatrox will work with anyone ever again due to his bitter experience: he is not even that glad to see his fellow Darkin or Ascended. What he means is that when the Void does its major breakout along with the Watchers, he would observe the carnage with grim satisfaction.

"Ta’anari swept his gaze around his fellow Sunborn—brothers and sisters once united by unbreakable bonds of love and duty that were, in time, revealed to be as brittle as glass. Unimaginable power had wrought their bodies, drawn from a realm beyond comprehension to sculpt their mortal flesh in ways none living now could recreate."

Just so you know, Ta'anari is referring to the process of Ascension when he is thinking this. Ta'anari is looking back on it as a fond memory, if they were referring to changes caused by the void they likely would have used warped instead of wrought (Warped has a far more negative connotation to it). The only corruption that Twilight of the Gods makes ANY reference to is corruption of the mind, AKA, the Madness that the Darkin display after their encounters with the void, its a common trope when dealing with Eldritch Horrors. Every single Darkin present in the story is still an animal-styled Ascended
