Could a void-born turn against the void?

My interpretation of void lore is that there are essentially 3 levels to the void:

Watchers - The void's "brain"

Void-borns - Physical manifestations of the void's will. They are bound to all the rules of 'the real world'. They can die, they are like any other Runeterran organisms.

Void-spawns: Born from void-borns. They are pretty much animals and have little actually linked to the void.

Now my question is, could a void-born develop intelligence to the point of realizing how evil the void is?

Bold of you to assume the Void is evil just for acting how nature dictates it act.

Is a spider evil for eating a fly? Is a wolf evil for killing a deer?

More fittingly, is space evil for being unsuitable for life?

Now, if the question is whether or not something from the void would choose to fight against it, sure. The less intelligent ones fight each other to survive anyway. And Kai'sa's symbiote works in tandem with her.

I dont think its about being "evil"

Its about survival.

If the Watchers reach their goal of ending all, then the Voidborn would die. In that case, i do think that the Voidborn should turn against the Watchers and other creatures from the void.

Well, as I was reading about it, it seems like creatures in the void has no idea about that they are existing and living. They "awake" when a gate to another world opens.

Imagine yourself living in complete darkness without seeing anything, ever. Then you turn on the light and you suddenly see where you are and who you are (I think).

After these creatures traveled to the other dimension, they developed feelings they never felt in void, like temperature and pain.

So I think, creatures stuck in the other world (where lol is played) can and will develop a personality as they pass time there and so, they will be neutrals, loyal to void or even against it.

Void borns don't seem to create more Void spawns afaik. The Watchers create them all or prexisting organic matter/magic is corrupted and used to create another tool for the Void.

I think this is an awesome question and I don't think a Voidborn would ever develop enough to come to the conclusion that the Void is evil. The only way I can see this is if one started to gain a human perpsective on the situation by eating people or trying to imitate humans to the point where they adopted some of their mindset. Because the Voidborns are so inhuman I doubt they even have concepts of good and evil.

Anyways, I can however see a Voidborn defying the Void and I actually would expect it to happen eventually. Especially for Voidborns like Kha'Zix whose passionate desire to continue to evolve cannot occur if all of reality is destroyed or Voidborns like Vel'Koz whose passionate desire to learn cannot continue if all of reality is destroyed. Because more intelligent Voidborns like these have their own goals and agendas, I can see them pursuing those instead at a certain point.

My great hope is that Kha'Zix will be one of these Void-borns. While his primary goal is to evolve and overcome, it is also to survive. The more he evolves, the more I guess he grows in his intellect, potentially making him aware of his situation. This in turn could lead him to eventually betray his masters.
