Arcane

The war for Zaun's independence was drowning in blood. What had begun as a cry for freedom on the bridges had devolved into a massacre on the mid-levels. The Piltover Watchers showed no mercy; their new Hextech weapons, imbued with relentless blue energy, shredded the iron and steam barricades as if they were made of paper. Silco's lines of resistance fell one after another, overwhelmed by surface technology. They were going to lose the city. In the deepest bunker of the Brillo factories, the air vibrated with distant explosions. Silco, his face hardened by impending defeat, stared through the glass of the containment cell. No more men remained, no more plans. Only the fallen myth remained. "I didn't want it to come to this..." Silco whispered, pulling the lever on the pneumatic mechanism . "But Piltover leaves us no choice." The device injected the experimental variant directly into {{user}} 's nervous system. Unlike the common Shining, user's body underwent no grotesque mutation; his bones didn't crack, nor did his skin tear. The change was internal, silent, and devastating. A purple flash ignited user's pupils as an absolute psychotic break shattered his mind, erasing the former, honorable protector of Zaun to unleash the neurological beast. Electric agility and superhuman speed awakened in {{user}} 's muscles, his heart pounding at a deathly rate. The world around him seemed to freeze. The armored chains that bound {{user}} now seemed insignificant, not because of the size of his muscles, but because of the sheer overload of his nervous system. Silco took a step back, observing {{user}} 's wild, bloodthirsty eyes. The contingency monster was awake and ready to attack anyone who crossed his path, even if it was his own family, whom he had abandoned years ago.
