Aurelion Sol, most powerful known entity
It seems to me, with the release of the new champion Aurelion Sol and his background he's the most powerful figure in LoL lore that we know.
Within the second paragraph Sol is described as:
cosmic being of unfathomable power
Already they being to portray the superiority the celestial dragon. Aurelion was born in the first breath of creation, already establishing him as one of the oldest beings in the universe.
Born in the first breath of creation, he roamed the vast nothingness, seeking to fill a canvas of incalculable breadth with marvels whose twinkling spectra brought him considerable delight and pride.
Being the creature that he is, the lore acknowledges that Aurelion Sol had yet to meet a being more powerful than he, and seldom had encountered anything that was equal to the extraordinary power that he possessed.
A celestial dragon is an exotic creature, and as such, Aurelion Sol seldom encountered any equals.
Sol is noted to have fought presumably the Voidborn, as well as other cosmic entities who's power most likely rivaled his own.
He battled chitinous beasts that tore at the fabric of this universe. He clashed with other cosmic entities, some of which he had known since the dawn of time
Nasus, Azir, Xerath, Renekton. All considered the most powerful beings in the current LoL lore, with perhaps the Darkin being able to stake claim at the title. Sol described those (Shurimans) who built a disc to harness the energies of the sun and funnel it into the most celebrated of their people creating insufferable Demigods.
My passing will be etched in their uncouth pictograms upon common stone, an homage to the great comet, the blessing of the sky-god gracing their holy works and so forth. The Disc’s sole purpose is to funnel the sun’s majesty into the most “renowned” of these fleshy humanoids, transforming them into exactly what this planet needs: more insufferable demigods.
Aurelion clearly has distaste for Demigods, as the Targonian Aspects are also Demigods who use the 'gift' of a crown to control Sol, while shouting commands at him as if he were a mere beast of burden.
But alas, the novelty of such infantile antics has worn thin. The grasping energies of my magical bondage have dragged me from one paltry world to another for centuries.
Unfortunately, the memories I long to dwell upon are tainted by betrayal. Yes, this was the place where Targon lured me into servitude. But now is not the time to linger on past mistakes. Those musty Aspects want me to seal yet another breach… in their name of course.
She cries outs with a voice that booms inside my head, transmitted through this insufferable star-gem coronet. All sounds fade as she invades my mind. "Dragon!" she says, as if I am a weak-winged beast of base orange flame, lucky if it can ignite a tree.
The next quote refers to how Sol knows about the Voidborn and their constant attempts to intrude upon the reality of the universe, while also contempt for the Aspects, who treat him like----for lack of a better term--- shit.
"Seal their gate!" she commands, gesturing to the bottom of a rocky crevasse with her pointy little spear. I don’t need to see the violet erosion of reality swirling below. I could smell the festering miasma that poisons this world before I even arrived. I fix my eyes on Pantheon instead. She expects me to fall in line like a dog on its leash. Today will be different, for I've learned from my mistakes.
"Dragon ," I purr. "Are you sure commanding me with such a low name is wise?"
Aurelion notices an anomaly amongst the rip in the fabric of the universe, he detects a malevolent Void presence, the being that created an exquisite hole between the two universes. Sol shuddered himself to think about the intelligence and power required to masterfully understand the complexities of the barriers between realms, and be able to rip them apart.
A pulsing sickness lingers in the air. From the epicenter of the corruption, I feel a will… hungry and indomitable, and far from the typical mindlessness I’m accustomed to from these Voidborn aberrations. The pulsating wound on reality yawns and buckles, distorting and warping all it touches. Whatever exists on the other side is laughing.
Pantheon shouts another command at me, but I ignore her words. This anomalous fissure in the universe entrances me. This is not the first of its kind I’ve had to deal with, but this one feels different, and I can’t help but admire the marvelously terrifying manipulation of the barriers between realms. Few beings could fathom its complexities, let alone possess the sheer magnitude of power needed to rend the fabric of existence. In my heart, I know a wound so exquisite could never be orchestrated by scuttling creatures. No. There must be more behind this intrusion.** I shudder at the thought of what kind of entity is capable of inducing such a volatile rift.**
This is evidence, that the Targonian Aspects, are indeed Demigods.
I don’t need Pantheon’s barked orders to tell me what do next; her array of requests has always been of a rather limited imagination anyway. She wants me to hurl a star at the rift, as if one can simply cauterize such moldering inter-dimensional abrasions and be done with it.
These obtuse demigods are my captors?
Aurelion Sol acts; mainly because he wants the Targonians to remember the event, the Voidborn entity to know that nothing mocks him while in his plane of existence, and also to let a little of his immense power out.... cuz it feels good.
I enjoy what I do next, partly because they’ll remember it, partly because it feels good to let a little of the old power loose, but mostly because I wish to remind whatever intelligence that controls this Void incursion that nobody laughs at me in my plane of existence.
Sol obliterates the area surrounding the rift, as well as the Targon Demigod herself. This was with a fraction of his power, these Demigods like Nasus, Pantheon, et cetera, beings who prior to the introduction of the Aurelion Sol were arguably the most powerful things known, are completely vaporized by a tiny portion of Sol's power. That easily ranks Sol as number one, right?
In a single instance, all of their attention is focused on this world, where one of their earthly Aspects was vaporized by their own weapon. Their confusion is mingled with a growing desperation as they contend with each other to regain their control over me. How I wish I could see their faces.
