It took a lot of effort for Rhodes to finally turn Sivir into the kind of emperor he needed - in fact, Rod felt early on that Sivir was really a descendant of Azir, and although the two seemed to have different personalities, they couldn't fight each other, but in fact, it was just because they didn't care about the difference in the environment in which they were raised.

Fundamentally, they are all the same kind of people, the same pride, the same coldness, the same kindness that they don't want to tell others.

Even if it weren't for Azir's deep-seated thoughts, Rhodes would have been glad to see such an emperor sitting on Shurima's throne.

Merely...... Because of this disagreement, Rhodes had to play a small trick to remove Azir from the emperor's throne and replace him with a Sivir who was quite like him but could accept new things.

Rod detailed, Sivir would gladly accept the power of Emperor Shurima...... and liability.

As for how to get Sivir on his side – what better option than a three-day trip to Acacia?

Taking Azir to Acacia didn't have much effect, but taking Sivir to save it was different, standing in the middle of the desert, looking at the bulging hernia, Sivir fully understood what Rod meant when he said "the battle of the void is imminent".

And after that, several encounters with the Void creatures made Sivir understand what things would turn out of when these terrifying, twisted monsters did come to Shurima!

……………………

"What should we do?" On the way back, Sivir finally fully accepted Rod's statement, "to fight against those terrible beings...... What should we do? ”

"Unite all possible forces." Rhodes blinked, "Fighting the Void requires more than just Shurima. ”

"You mean?"

"Actually, after you ascend the throne, I need to make a trip to Bilgewater, and we need to build a reliable outpost in Acacia."

“…… Outposts? ”

"That's right." Rhodes nodded, "Whether it's the warriors of Freljord, or the sages of Ionia, or even quite a few star spirits - everyone is ready for war, and the purpose of this outpost is to bring everyone together. ”

"That's pretty good." Sivir didn't know how to respond, so he could only reluctantly nod, "But to be honest, what about Noxus?" They've never been honest......"

"So after going to Bilgewater, Noxus also needs a little warning." "A military parade should calm them down completely—Svein, who lost an arm, should understand that there are forces that he can't fight against." ”

"You really had a plan?" Sivir didn't know why, and suddenly had a feeling that someone had been calculated, "If I finally refuse the request of the rank, maybe Shurima will have the same fate, right?" ”

"Not really." Rhodes looked at Sivir and smiled toothlessly, "If Shurima refuses to fight against the Void, then I'm afraid these assembled people will sweep Shurima first." ”

Looking at Rod's shiny white teeth, Sivir finally shuddered.

In Sivir's mind, Rod's image has grown more and more terrifying—especially this peculiar candor that puts all the plans in front of you......

It is said that fear comes from the unknown, why do the more you know, the colder you become?

……………………

Sivir's coronation was still presided over by Nasus—and Azir, who was not so good-looking, chose to attend.

At the time of his coronation, Sivir did not bring the previous crown of Azir, but the one of Rhodes, which belonged to the real crown of Emperor Shurima.

And as the golden crown was placed on Sivir's head, Azir visibly felt a sudden lightness on his body.

Now, she has completely lost her authority as the Emperor of Shurima, and this power has been completely transferred to Sivir, and from this day on, she is the real Shurui Emperor.

She is also the first empress in the history of Shurima.

At the coronation ceremony, Sivir, who was high in Calikar, swore that she would do her best for Shurima, and her words were not very clever, but her sincere words caused bursts of cheers from the people, perhaps because of the ancient crown, perhaps because of the blood of the royal family, maybe because of the increasingly peaceful Shurima...... Sivir was greeted with an unexpected hand.

In the crowd, Rod smiled as Sivir sat in the Emperor's seat surrounded by the people, he reached out and pulled his hood, turned around, and quietly left Shurima against the crowd.

Maybe...... That's the best-case scenario, right?

A stubborn but aware of the threat of the Void, this should be the best frontier against the Void for herself, right?

Now, it's time to really get ready to deal with that damn void - oh, and before that, need to get Noxus honest first.

Expansion, war, all mortal things Rhodes is not willing to meddle, but at this critical moment, if the Noxians want to stab them in the back......

Then this country is afraid that it will be one step ahead of the void.

While silently contemplating his plan, Rhodes silently left Shurima City - and the moment he stepped out of the city gates, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Wait a minute...... What does it mean that mortal things will no longer interfere with themselves?

If Noxus did invade Zaun, would he be indifferent?

Self-doubting Rhodes thought about it for himself, and after a moment he was a little surprised to find that if Noxus continued to expand and launch a military campaign against Zaun after pacifying the Void, unless they used mad poison gas or carried out inhumane slaughter, they would ...... Probably really won't make a shot.

Rod never imagined that one day he would become like this - I don't know when, he actually separated himself from other people, this subconscious is high, and subconsciously uses severing beings as pawns...... It's so similar to the giant god I once hated!

Before he killed the dragon, the dragon slayer boy had become an evil dragon?!

No...... It's different!

In addition to being frightened, Rhodes suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and his heart was finally relieved.

I don't ask others what to do, and I don't dictate the world according to my own likes and dislikes...... This may be the biggest difference between himself and the giant god, right?

After thinking this out, the corners of Rod's mouth finally overflowed with a smile again.

Let's go – head to Freljord first!
