Sure enough, that night, a large number of wild monsters appeared in the palace, namely the Sand Scorpion and the Dragon Tortoise, and since Nasus and Renekton could meet them in the palace, they entered the palace very easily.

That night, the civilian area outside the palace was quiet, and inside the palace, there was a commotion, and all the soldiers took their weapons and went out to fight, but in this group of soldiers, most of them were Renekton's subordinates, who started fake battles, and seemed to have exhausted all their strength, but in fact they were releasing water.

After this night, all the princes and princes in the palace were seriously injured, including Azir, of course, Azir's serious injuries were only superficial, in fact, there was no harm, and the others were all seriously injured, life-threatening kinds.

A few days later, the crown prince and other princes in the palace were seriously injured and died, leaving only Azir to be rescued, as Nasus expected, Azir was made the crown prince, and Zelas also became Azir's personal bodyguard.

In the days that followed, the palace was overwhelmed, and Azir's father held several days of funerals in memory of his dead sons.

At the funeral, Azir naturally had to make a sad expression, even if the crown prince's father, the queen, could see that Azir was pretending, but it would be to no avail.

That night, the queen found Azir's father and told him about Azr's strange behavior, but at this time, Azil was his last bloodline, even if it was really planned by Azir, he could not kill his last bloodline, and then let the throne fall into the hands of others.

In the words of Azir's father, Azir's ability to plan the death of the crown prince and all the princes is also his ability, at least it proves that Azir is capable of becoming an emperor.

So, two years later, Azir's father finally abdicated on an auspicious day due to physical discomfort and advanced age, and it was also on this day that Azir officially ascended the throne, and Zeros, as a friend and master servant who grew up with Azir, was given the title of national teacher by Azir.

Over the next few years, the young Emperor Azir embarked on a crusade with a large number of soldiers, and eventually, in the eighth year of his reign, some of the empires around Shurima were eventually defeated and captured by Azir.

This year is the year that Azir is looking forward to the most, because the triennial Ascendant Ceremony is about to begin, and the people who want to accept the Ascendant Ritual are Azir, Zelas, Nasus, and Renekton.

However, this day is the happiest time for the people of the Shurima Empire, and at the same time, it is also the day when the Shurima Empire is about to fall.

The night before the Ascendant ceremony, Azir walked back and forth in the palace, and the thought of tomorrow's Ascendant ceremony made him a little excited and unable to sleep.

"Ozawa, do you think I can have the power to ascend?"

Azir asked, nervously walking back and forth.

Although the Ascendant Ritual is something that every emperor can participate in, and can also involve the people around him, in the history of the Shurima Empire, it seems that only the Founding Emperor has ever had the power of Ascension, and after him, no one has been able to have the power of Ascension, including Azir's father.

"Your Majesty, don't you worry, didn't the old man say that with your qualifications, you can definitely have the power of ascension, you are too worried."

Zelas said respectfully to Azir, although the two of them are good friends who talk about everything in private, but Azir is the emperor after all, and Zelas, as a subordinate, even if he is familiar with him, he must speak to Azir with respect.

"That's right, but ...... I'm still quite nervous, I heard that no emperor in the Shurima Empire can have the power of ascension except for the founding emperor, and when I think about this, I feel that my hope is a little slim. ”

Azir still said nervously, now Azir is close to forty years old, but in his opinion, he is still young, and it is also for this reason that Azir has not set up a queen and found a concubine.

"Your Majesty, it's better to rest as soon as possible to recuperate."

After saying that, Zelas left Azir's palace, and as he went out, Zelas inadvertently showed a wicked smile, as if he had some bad idea in his heart.

"Ascension, huh."

Zelas returned to his abode, with a plan in mind to capture the power of ascension tomorrow, and yes, Zelas intended to take the power of ascension.

Although he can also enter after Azir receives the Ascendant Ritual, but at that time, most of the power of Ascension may have been sucked away by Azir, so in order for Zelas to have a complete Ascension power and thus ascend to the divine realm, he must be ruthless to Azir and snatch the power of Ascension that belongs to him.

The next morning, the palace was bustling with activity, and Azir, under the protection of a large number of soldiers, arrived at the symbol of the Shurima Empire, the Sun Roulette, where the Ascendant Ceremony was about to be held once every 30 years.

"Good luck guys!"

Azir looked at Zelas, Nasus, and Renekton next to him, and the ceremony officially began as the high priest began to chant a spell not far away.

But just as the Ascendant Ritual was halfway through, Zeroth, who had a silent face on the side, suddenly stepped onto the platform and came to Azir's side.

"What are you doing? Why don't you get out soon? ”

At this time, Azir glared fiercely at Zelas next to him, not understanding what this guy was going to do.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry."

Zelas smiled crookedly at Azir, who suddenly felt weak and collapsed.

"Ozawa...... You ......"

Azir felt that he couldn't use his strength at this time, presumably Zelas should have done something during the morning meal, and seeing him like this, he might be trying to seize the power of ascension.

"Your Majesty, stay aside."

Seeing this, Nasus and Renekton hurriedly climbed onto the platform to help Azir up, shouting at Zeroth, "Rebel, what are you going to do?" ”

Since Nasus and Renekton were also in their sixties, it was impossible to deal with a thirty-eight-year-old Zelas, so they could only watch as Zelas continued to urge the ritual.

"Ah, I feel it, it's the power of ascension! Your Majesty, you do have the power to ascend, but now it's mine! ”

Zelas sensed something unusual in the air and immediately reacted, is this the power of ascension? It's also wonderful.

As a result, Zelas began to frantically absorb the power of take-off, and next to him, Azil, Nasus, and Renekton were also absorbing.
