“Beware, minions of chaos! The Shard of the Monolith has come.”

传记

墨菲特是一个庞大的岩石生物，诞生于以绪塔尔的巨大建筑——“独石”的中心。他花费数百年之久研究符文之地的元素平衡，用万钧之力维护这个纷乱世界的秩序，碾碎地底之下爬行的黑暗生物。如今，他从沉睡中激醒的次数越来越频繁。墨菲特不得不忍受凡人们反复无常的性情，同时作为自己族类的最后一员，追寻着唯一值得为之奋战的大业。

A massive creature of living stone, Malphite was born from the heart of the great Ixtali construct known as the Monolith. He has studied the elemental balance of Runeterra for centuries, using his tremendous strength to maintain order in a frequently chaotic world, and crush the dark things that crawl beneath it. Now, roused all too often from his slumbers, Malphite endures the fluid temperaments of mortals, in pursuit of the only cause worthy of the last of his kind.

在两千多年的时间里，古恕瑞玛一直统治着全部已知世界，成就了一个子民无数、所向无敌、举世无双的帝国。

For more than two millennia, Shurima dominated the known world—an empire that reigned over countless peoples without challenge, and without threat.

直到艾卡西亚陨落的那一天。

Until the day Icathia fell.

自从虚空撕开空间、进入物质领域的那一刻起，恕瑞玛的军队就迎来了一个全新的敌人，不仅让这个伟大的帝国学会谦卑，而且还越战越强。堕落的力量从艾卡西亚的废墟迅速蔓延，在地上和海底汹涌沸腾，最后把恶毒的触手伸向了大陆最南端丛林中的以绪塔尔。

From the moment the Void tore its way into the material realm, the armies of Shurima faced an enemy that could not only lay their grand empire low, but one that seemed to grow stronger the more they fought it. The corruption spread rapidly from Icathia’s ruins, boiling over the land and beneath the oceans, before its hideous tendrils reached the southernmost jungles of Ixtal.

作为飞升者大军的一员，耐祖克曾是一位以绪塔尔元素法师，拥有山岳般宏大的力量，也有无人能及的傲慢。他向皇帝请命，创造一种足以抗衡虚空的强大武器，彻底根除虚空最初喷发的源头。

Ne’Zuk of the Ascended Host was an Ixtali elemental mage of colossal power, and almost unrivaled arrogance. He went before the emperor, pledging to create a weapon powerful enough to take the fight to the Void, and eradicate it at the source of its original eruption.

经过长达数月的人类无法承受之劳苦，耐祖克亮出了“独石”——一座浮空堡垒，也是一块活体巨石，由一群最伟大的元素法师操持维护，在它的壁垒上，还搭乘了其他以绪塔尔的天神战士。“独石”的尺寸堪比一座城市，从空中缓缓飘向艾卡西亚的废土。抑魔水晶不断向下投射出霹雳闪电，将下方的黄沙熔炼成玻璃。耐祖克和他的超级武器抵达了他们的目的地，再次面对那深渊领域的无尽嚎哭和无底黑暗，以及它所创造出的大群虚空怪兽。

After months of inhuman labor, Ne’Zuk revealed the Monolith—a floating fortress of living stone, maintained by the greatest elemental mages, and its ramparts manned by his fellow Ixtali god-warriors. The size of a city itself, the Monolith glided titanically toward the wastelands of Icathia, the lightning crackling from its magical inhibitors fusing the sands to glass beneath it. Ne’Zuk and his superweapon arrived at their destination, to face once more the howling infinite darkness of the abyssal realm, and the hordes of Voidborn monstrosities it had created.

这场战斗持续了数个星期。它的暴力程度和规模是符文之地从未见证过的。他们使用的巫术魔法足以荡平整个文明，或者将整片大陆变为回忆，就是这样的力量，全部释放加在虚空身上。

The battle dragged into weeks. It was violence of a scale and intensity never before witnessed in Runeterra. Sorcery enough to raze entire civilizations, or render whole continents into naught but a memory, was unleashed upon the Void.

黑暗做出了相应的报复。它的恶毒能量在“独石”身上凿除了深深的伤口，让它的表面崎岖焦黑，形成了非自然的墨菲岩——以绪塔尔语言中的“坏石头”，最后变成了矿簇一样的伤疤。这座要塞被逼到了设计极限，吃力地进行自我修复，重新缝合受损的上层结构……但即使是最神奇的魔法，也有崩坏临界点。

The darkness retaliated in kind. Its hideous energies gouged deep wounds into the living stone of the Monolith, whose surfaces became pocked and seared with unnatural malphite—from the Ixtali for “bad stone”—and leaving mineral-like scars. The fortress was pushed to the very limits of its design, struggling to self-repair and reknit its weakened superstructure… but even the incredible magics that held it aloft had a breaking point.

耐祖克召集他的飞升者同胞，打算进行最后一次破釜沉舟的充能，这时发生了出于意料的事。短短一瞬间的下沉后，“独石”狠狠撞在地上，切开了艾卡西亚的基岩，将下方的虚空暴露在晴空之下。

As Ne’Zuk fought to rally his Ascended brethren for one last, desperate charge, the unthinkable happened. Sagging for an instant, the Monolith crashed down to earth, cleaving through the bedrock of Icathia and opening the Void beneath to the skies.

这座浮空要塞大部分都消失在了那张巨口之中，落入了世界彼端的寂静与空无。曾经那场戛然而止的惨烈战斗让这里变成一片焦土，如今这场战斗又增加了散落四处的残垣断壁。只有一个飞升者活了下来——耐祖克从废墟中爬出，呛咳着灰烬与沙尘，原本作为他伟大胜利的武器，如今已经变成他最失败的愚行，于是他为了活命逃走了。

Much of the fortress was lost within that gaping maw, vanishing into the silent nothingness beyond. The rest rained down as great ruins, littering a landscape already blackened by the terrible conflict that had been cut so abruptly short. Only a single Ascended survived—Ne’Zuk hauled himself from the wreckage, choking on the ashes of what was meant to be his grandest triumph, now his greatest folly, and fled for his life.

然而一切世间道理都无法解释的是，一些“独石”的碎片坚持了下来，虽然分散在各处，但却依然蕴含着某种魔法生命的力量。那些四分五裂的碎片挣扎着愈合，挣扎着重塑成为完整的个体，找回它们共同的归属。但虚空的无尽饥饿一直在吸收它们的力量，让它们变成无精打采的死物，在沙尘中无力地搔扒。

In defiance of all worldly reason, some disparate fragments of the Monolith endured, still imbued with something like magical life. The far-flung shards struggled to heal, to reform the whole to which they had once belonged. But the Void’s endless hunger leached away at them, rendering them as little more than inert shapes clawing feebly in the dust.

然而，虽然失去了那么多，但还是有一块碎片存留了下来。

However, against all that had been lost, a single shard remained.

它被深埋在地表之下，甚至连那些栖息在深渊里的东西也都忘了它的存在。它活了下来，逐渐积攒着力量，过了不知几百年后，它终于苏醒了，同时也意识到自己的孤立无援。

Buried deep beneath the surface, forgotten even by those that dwelt in the abyss, it slowly gathered in strength. It lived, until at last it awakened after uncounted centuries, and realized it was alone.

从那黑暗之日至今的几百年里，墨菲特作为“独石”的最后一块碎片，成为了符文之地上的伟大传说。它的身影出现在四面八方，从巨神峰到祖安。有时人们听到的是深邃洞窟里的震撼咆哮；有时人们听到的是它对自己轻声的低鸣；它可能在对自己诉说那记忆中它曾经熟悉的世界的声音。

In all the centuries since that dark day, Malphite, the last shard of the Monolith, has become something of a legend in Runeterra. It has reputedly been sighted everywhere, from Targon to Zaun; heard sometimes as a tectonic roar in the deepest caverns, and sometimes as a quiet voice, humming to itself, that it might still remember the sounds of the world it once knew.

虽然它的存在跨越了时间的长河，但耐祖克创造“独石”时点燃的磅礴之力却始终没有动摇。如今，墨菲特知道自己必须尽快崛起，对抗卷土重来的黑暗，因为虚空已经觉醒，即将再次威胁整个符文之地。

Despite the enormous span of its existence, the overwhelming drive enkindled by Ne’Zuk’s creation of the Monolith has not wavered. Now, Malphite knows it must soon rise to meet the resurgent darkness it once battled, as the Void awakens to threaten all of Runeterra once more.
