Runeterra: I really know a little bit about everything

Chapter 171 Kassadin’s ascension!Xerath's Ascended Legion!

After experiencing five consecutive failed ascension ceremonies, the atmosphere in the entire Shurima Royal Capital was somewhat depressing.

During this period of time, the sense of oppression that is about to come has filled everyone's heart, and Shurima is in urgent need of something exciting to happen.

When the rising sun broke through the curtain of darkness and once again shone on the land of Shurima, the imperial capital once again became lively.

Everyone knows that today another warrior will ascend to the Sun Altar, accept the power of the Sun Disk, and ascend to become an Ascended God.

People arrived under the sun disk early, [-] meters apart, looking at the simple and magnificent sun altar in front of them.

However, unlike before, different voices have begun to appear among the civilians of Shurima, and some even no longer have hope for this ascension.

"boom!"

The next moment, a blazing force suddenly fell from the sky and landed on the high platform behind the Sun Altar.

In the dazzling golden light, the eyes of all the people below were attracted by this power of ascension, and they unanimously turned their attention here.

It was also at this time that Azir, the contemporary tsar wearing golden eagle armor, walked out first. Behind him, Nasus, Renekton, and two figures that no one had ever seen walked out slowly. These two people were walking. It's Zuo Chi and Kassadin who is about to ascend.

Azir's appearance caused the Shurima people below to kneel down and salute, shouting Azir's name.

No matter how lonely the Shurima Empire becomes, the Ascended God has always been the absolute belief in the hearts of the people of Shurima. This is a history that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the memory engraved in the blood will never be forgotten.

The five people from Zuochi stood on the high platform, looking at the Shurima people below with complex eyes.

There is no doubt that being able to return to the Shurima Empire at such a turbulent time means that these people really regard Shurima as their destination.

But the more this happened, the heavier the hearts of Azir and the others became.

Azir's eyes quickly returned to clarity. He held the scepter of command, opened his arms, and a majestic and solemn voice resounded under the sun disk.

"People of Shurima, we are gathered here today to once again witness the birth of an ascended general!"

"Although the Shurima Empire has been in decline for 3000 years, everything will be fine."

As an emperor, Azir's speech was solemn and inspiring, and the eyes of everyone below were once again focused on the Altar of the Sun.

Nowadays, they really need the appearance of an ascended god to boost their morale.

Azir turned to look at Kassadin beside him. Although he had lost his special breathing device, he still chose to cover his body in a Shurima-style black cloak.

Feeling the gazes beside him and under the high platform, Kassadin took a deep breath.

Under the cloak, his eyes were extremely determined, without any fluctuation in his expression.

On the arm, perhaps because he sensed the breath of ascending power again, the blade of the underworld was constantly humming happily, and even the dense black light on the blade became much richer.

Putting his hand on the Blade of the Underworld, Kassadin walked towards the Altar of the Sun under everyone's gaze.

Just as he was about to step off the platform, a slightly trembling voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Dad, come on."

At some point, Kai'Sa, Taliyah, and Sivir appeared on the high platform, and all focused their attention on Kassadin.

Hearing his daughter's voice, Kassadin's body swayed slightly, and then, he smiled softly at Kasha.

"Kesha, I'll be fine, wait until I come back."

Just when Kassadin was about to turn around and continue walking towards the Altar of the Sun, he suddenly looked at Zuo Chi on one side:

"Zuo Chi, remember what you promised me, no matter where you are, you will protect Kesha!"

After saying these last words, Kassadin walked up to the Altar of the Sun without any hesitation and without looking back.

Behind, Kasha stood next to Zuo Chi. Her eyes were already full of tears. She bit her lower lip and held Zuo Chi's arm tightly with both hands.

Maybe this is his father. What he said to Kasha was to prevent her from worrying about him, but what he said to Zuo Chi was to find a guarantee for his daughter, just in case he really failed to ascend. My daughter will not return to the lonely life she once had.

Zuo Chi held Kassa's shoulders and nodded solemnly behind Kassadin:
"I promise!"

The sun in the sky has fully risen, and the heat and light once again fill the entire world.

Azir's lecture gradually came to an end, and a mysterious object shaped like the sun appeared in his hand. It was the Holy Emblem of the Sun that Zuo Chi brought back from Nerimajie.

"Boom!"

Azir's scepter of command struck the ground, and a dull roar spread along with a wave of air on the high platform.

He raised the Holy Emblem of the Sun high in his hand. At this moment, the sun, the sun disk, and the Holy Emblem of the Sun formed a straight line.

"Buzz!"

In a buzzing sound, the sun disk hanging high above the dome began to rotate slowly, and as time passed, the sun disk rotated faster and faster.

The majestic pressure filled the space between heaven and earth, and the golden power of ascension seemed to come from outside the sky, hitting the sun disk heavily.

Immediately afterwards, the sun disk poured the power that could give people ascension into Kassadin's body below.

Kassadin's robes squeaked under the impact of the power of ascension. He completely opened his arms and allowed the power of ascension to transform his body.

The extreme pain constantly stimulated his mind, and this force seemed to be acting on his soul, trying to completely defeat him.

However, for him who had fought in the void for countless days and nights, this kind of pain was by no means unbearable!

Compared with the pain of losing my wife and daughter, this pain is by no means unbearable!

"Chong!"

Suddenly, the blade of the underworld that had always been hidden on Kassadin's arm popped out in an instant. The blade continued to tremble slightly, and the black light on the blade was intense to the extreme.

Kassadin could feel the joy coming from the Blade of the Underworld, but at the same time, the pain coming from everywhere in his body was becoming more and more obvious.

It was like countless small magma snakes had penetrated his body, which made Kassadin's muscles completely tense, and his blood vessels were distributed on the surface of his body like a horned dragon.

Finally, the power of ascension released from the sun disk completely flooded the sun altar, and completely swallowed up Kassadin standing on it.

Below, everyone watching the ascension ceremony clenched their hands tightly. Everyone was looking forward to it. When the power of ascension dissipated, a man tens of meters tall and exuding terrifying power would appear on the altar of the sun. The ascended god.

However, after five consecutive failures in the past, everyone was extremely uneasy at this time. Many people even thought that this would be another failed ascension.

Time passed little by little in this anxious atmosphere. After about an hour of infusion, the rotation speed of the sun disk began to gradually slow down, and the power of ascension poured into the sun altar also began to weaken.

At this moment, everyone was staring at the Altar of the Sun. Kai'Sa's hand holding Zuo Chi's arm was turning white. Nasus and Renekton took a step at the same time so that they could immediately Stop Ba'kai from harming the people of Shurima.

Finally, the blazing power of ascension became thinner and thinner, and people were able to clearly see the figure hidden behind them through the gradually fading light curtain.

At first glance, people looked at the bottom of the altar, because they all knew that if the ascension failed, Bakai's height would not change much. If they saw a complete figure at the bottom, the result would be It's obvious.

However, when they saw the scene on the Sun Altar, the bodies of everyone present began to tremble with excitement.

Because there, they did not see the figure of Bakai like they saw during the five previous ascensions. They saw a pair of huge feet with a diameter of nearly three meters!
The power of ascension became weaker and weaker, and the huge figure about 25 meters high was also revealed in front of everyone.

"Wow~!"

In an instant, the entire Shuriman capital was completely in a boil. Loud shouts rose into the sky, and a touch of unparalleled ecstasy appeared in the eyes of every Shuriman wherever he looked.

On the high platform, Zuo Chi and others also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, with deep joy in everyone's eyes.

Zuo Chi gently patted Ka'Sa's head and smiled softly at her: "I just said it will be fine." Ka'Sa, who was looking at the ascending altar intently, took a long breath, and at the same time she turned to the left Chi showed a bright smile.

"Zuo Chi, thank you!"

A smirk suddenly appeared on Zuo Chi's face. He leaned close to Kasha's ear and whispered something in a low voice.

It was also at this time that Kasha's pretty face became redder and redder, but she still didn't let go of Zuo Chi's arm.

After a long period of ideological struggle, she lowered her head and whispered as quietly as a mosquito:

"Then you secretly come to my room tonight and I'll show you what I'm wearing."

Zuo Chi succeeded. He raised his eyebrows and patted Kaisha's back gently: "Okay, let's see what uncle looks like after he ascends. You have to be mentally prepared. If my guess is right, , he should become like the two Nasus brothers."

Zuo Chi had asked Azir about his body shape after ascension a long time ago. After all, the ascension forms of Azir and Nasus were very different.

Although Azir looks like an eagle, he still retains most of his human form, while Nasus and Renekton have undergone tremendous transformations, so much so that they almost lost their human form.

Azir's explanation is very simple and clear, that is, the degree of compatibility between the ascended person and the power of ascension, that is, the perfection of the ascended form.

Nowadays, Azir is the most perfect Ascendant in the Shurima Empire. His power of ascension is much stronger than Nasus and Renekton, and his ascension form is also closer to humans.

Azir also mentioned Setaka, the founding empress of Shurima. It is said that she is the most ascensionist in history who is most compatible with the power of ascension. After her ascension, she not only gained the most powerful power of ascension, but also gained the most powerful power of ascension without turning on the ascension. When she enters this form, her body shape will hardly change much. Only when she fully activates her ascension form will her appearance change slightly.

Zuo Chi felt that Kassadin had not been a Shurima warrior before, so his ascended form was at most similar to that of Nasus and Renekton, and was far from reaching the level of Azir.

And the reality seemed to be exactly as Zuo Chi expected.

At this time, on the Altar of the Sun, a huge figure about 25 meters tall stood proudly. His body that was eroded by the void had undergone earth-shaking changes, and was covered in black and white fur. Even his head became similar to that of a mustel. Very similar shapes to animals.

His body is covered with black fur, but the hair on his head and back is conspicuously silvery white, shining with silver light under the sunlight.

On his arm, the blade of the underworld, about ten meters long, was shining with a deep black light. The terrifying power filled the sun altar, telling everyone how powerful Kassadin was now.

Zuo Chi was really stunned when he saw Kassadin's form.

But then he smiled, because he suddenly discovered that Kassadin's form was really in line with his own mentality and personality.

Honey badger, the most fearless animal in the world!
Kassadin is able to go deep into the void as a mortal and face those void creatures that are like nightmares to ordinary people. It seems that there is nothing in this world that can scare him.

Beside Zuo Chi, Kasha had been looking at Kassadin with curious eyes. After a long time, she suddenly covered her mouth and let out a chuckle.

"Pfft~"

There were no negative emotions in her smile, only happiness for her father and a long sense of relief.

Amidst the cheers of the people of Shurima, which were like a torrent and a tsunami, Kassadin on the Altar of the Sun looked at his body and felt the majestic power in his body.

After a long time, he knelt down on one knee on the high platform where Azir and others were sitting, cupped his fists and saluted:
"Your Majesty, fortunately not humiliated!"

Zuo Chi and Ka'Sa quickly moved away, while Azir looked at Kassadin in front of him with a look of relief. After experiencing all the ups and downs, Shurima finally welcomed its first ascended god after its restoration. .

Although there is only one, the meaning it represents is extremely important, because it means that the Shurima Empire is finally on the road to revival, and he finally sees the hope of leading the Shurima Empire to glory.

Thinking of this, Azir smiled at Kassadin. He knew that next was the reward stage that people loved to see.

With Kassadin's current power and identity, he is already enough to become one of the pillars of the Shurima Empire.

"Kassadin, in the name of the Tsar of Shurima, I designate you as"

"Crack!"

Suddenly, what Azir just said stopped abruptly, and then he suddenly turned his head and looked at the western sky.

There, an extremely thick blue arcane energy cut through the sky and headed straight for Kassadin above the Altar of the Sun.

Facing the sudden attack, Kassadin stood up quickly on the altar, and the strong power of ascension surged out of his body. He flicked his right arm, and the power of ascension instantly spread to the blade of the underworld, and then, He thrust out his sword and went straight towards the arcane energy!

The power of ascension collided fiercely with the arcane energy. Kassadin's body took a step back suddenly, and the arcane energy was completely eliminated by the Blade of the Underworld.

At the same time, Azir's roar filled with endless hatred resounded throughout the entire Shurima capital.

"Zeras!"

The moment Azir finished speaking, a blue teleportation portal slowly took shape in the sky outside the Royal Capital of Shurima, and Xerath's gloomy voice came out.

"Azir, my old friend, we finally meet again after thousands of years."

"It can be seen that you have tried your best to create ascended ones, but in my opinion, the ascended ones created by the sun disk are simply weak, just like you before!"

The entire imperial capital fell silent at this moment, and everyone was looking at Xerath in the sky and Azir on the high platform.

Azir snorted coldly: "You, Bakai, who is not even qualified to ascend, have any qualifications to judge the noble ascended god!"

Azir's voice seemed to contain endless hatred. For the person in front of him, he really wanted to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin:
"Xerath, traitor, I will definitely kill you!"

Xerath in the sky let out a wanton laugh:

"Azir, what qualifications do you have to call me a traitor? You are the one who betrayed me!"

"I came here today just to erase you and everything you own! At the same time, I also want to show you what a true ascendant is. I want you to see those who have been forgiven. The warriors Rima abandoned have become so powerful after following me!”

After Xerath's words fell, he waved his arm that was completely composed of arcane energy. The terrifying energy impacted the space around him, and huge teleportation portals slowly emerged.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

Amidst the buzzing sounds, twelve blue figures slowly walked out of the teleportation portal behind Xerath.

The moment these figures appeared, twelve auras of power that were not inferior to Kassadin's ascension just now filled the world.

They were twelve humanoid warriors whose bodies had completely transformed into arcane energy. Blue sparks and arcs were dancing in their bodies. There was no trace of color in their eyes. They stood like war machines. In the sky a little below Xerath.

And this is just the beginning. Desolate Walkers, Destruction Believers, Sand Viewers, and Ancient Magisters are still coming out of the portal behind.

They stood neatly and orderly outside the city of Shurima Royal Capital, letting the yellow sand from the sky beat on them.

Xerath was suspended in the sky, with his arms spread wide, enjoying the frightened eyes of the Shurima people below.

"Azir, take a good look at what exactly is ascension and what is power!"

"You are an incompetent monarch. I will replace you and build an empire that belongs only to me!"

Under the sun disk, Zuo Chi and Azir were all staring at Xerath in the sky and the twelve figures behind him.

At first, Azir's eyes did flash with a violent fluctuation, but after that, this fluctuation once again turned into hatred.

He looked at the people beside him, and his voice was low and filled with a sense of resignation:
"Gentlemen, it is my honor to be able to fight side by side with you today!"

"If I lose this battle, I will be ashamed of my ancestors and the people of Shurima; if I win this battle, you will be the founding heroes of the Shurima Empire and enjoy the faith of hundreds of millions of people of the Shurima Empire forever! "

The bodies of Nasus and Renekton were shaking violently because of the upcoming battle. Zuo Chi's eyes reflected the blue figure in the sky. He slowly raised his arm, and there was a strange red light in his palm. circulation.

It was also at this time that the blue light screen that Zuo Chi had been waiting for appeared in front of his sight.

[The host can choose to help Azir realize his dream. After the dream is realized successfully, he can choose one of the abilities or characteristics of Azir and Setaka. 】
