And just as Nasus and Zuochi were chatting in the ancient city, what they didn't know was that a figure had followed Nasus's breath to the outside of the ancient city.

In the desert, scorched by the previous battle, Renekton's eyes narrowed slightly at the ancient city in front of him, and a thick murderous intent erupted from his body, even weakening the howling wind a little.

Finally, he no longer had any doubts, and tightly grasped the meniscus axe in his hand, and let out a deafening roar towards him.

"Roar!"

In the southeast of the Dasai Desert, Zuo Chi and his party came to the center of the ancient city and prepared to take a little rest here.

There was no doubt that Nasus was going to return to the royal capital with Taliyah and Sivir, and Zuochi was ready to continue his journey to find Aatrox.

"Zuo Chi, if you can, I hope you can consider my suggestion."

At this time, Nasus whispered again:

"Being with the Darkspawn is not the right path after all. You haven't seen the Darkspawn hurt the land, but I do, I know better than anyone their bloody tyranny, and they're not your best bet. ”

As an ascended god that existed before the First Darkspawn War, Nasus had witnessed the Darkspawn War, which lasted for 1,500 years.

It is precisely because of this that Nasus wants to persuade Zuo Chi to maintain his true heart and not be influenced by the Dark Spawn, and finally become a Dark Spawn.

Zuo Chi's body also has the power of ascension, although it is incomplete, but it can also show that he has a deep bond with the Shurima Empire.

At the point where the Shurima Empire needed the most help, Nasus really hoped that Zuo Chi would be on their side.

In the face of Nasus's persuasion, Zuo Chi just shook his head lightly and didn't say anything.

"Nasus, I have a feud with Zorani, I must kill her first!"

Today's Shurima, it seems that there are many completely different forces, and these forces are really enmity with everyone, and they are incompatible.

The Shurima Continent is truly the most chaotic place in the entire Runetera Land right now!

The orthodox forces of the Shurima Empire, led by the last Tsar Azir and the ascended god Nasus; Led by Zelas, he tried in vain to overthrow Azir's puppet regime; the Zolani faction, led by Aatrox and his legions; The faction led by Zorrani to kill the whole world; There are also stragglers like Varus and Moniera

Of all these forces, the only ones who can help Zorani kill Zorani today are Aatrox and his legions.

He came to Shurima to kill Zorani with Aatrox, but because he didn't know Aatrox's location, he temporarily allied with Varus.

However, if he can really kill Zorani, then Zuochi doesn't mind going to the Shurima Empire after that.

Whether it's for his incomplete ascension power, or for his promise to the girl in the armor of the Void.

Zuochi never forgot that he had told Kai'Sa that one day, he would help her eradicate the Void cultists in the land of Acacia.

If he wanted to level down Acacia's Void, he might not be enough on his own, but if the Ascension God helped, it might be much easier.

In this way, it is imperative to go to Aatrox first, and then if you have the chance, you can go to the imperial capital of the Shurima Empire to help, and by the way, go to see Taliyah and her people.

Nasus saw that Zuo Chi's attitude was very resolute, and he didn't say anything more.

Although he really wanted to win over Zuo Chi, if he couldn't, he wouldn't force others to do anything.

After a long silence, Nasus whispered, "Let's get ready to leave, Zuochi, thank you this time." ”

Zuo Chi shook his head and also walked towards the outside of the ancient city.

But at this time, changes suddenly befell everyone.

"Roar!"

A deafening roar sounded in everyone's ears, followed by an extremely rich killing intent.

"Huh?"

Zuo Chi's brows furrowed, he clenched the long knife in his hand, and for a while he was a little unsure of the source of this killing intent.

However, when Zuo Chi turned his head to look at Nasus beside him, he found that this resolute man's eyes actually sparkled with water.

“？？？”

To be honest, Zuo Chi never thought that Nasus, who was a Flying Ascension God and a general of the Empire, would have such an emotional side.

But then, Zuo Chi seemed to think of something, and then said softly:

"It's Renekton, right?"

Nodding heavily, Nasus wiped his face a little out of shape, and then quickly said to Zuo Chi:

"I took the liberty of missing it."

As the words fell, Nasus no longer cared about his physical injuries and ran forward quickly.

Behind him, Zuo Chi looked at the excited Nasus, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

This kind of thing, he really can't say much as an outsider, I just hope that Nasus can wake up Renekton.

Outside the city, Nasus frantically rushed towards the source of the roar.

Finally, after a gap of 3,000 years, he finally saw his brother again.

"Brother!"

Nasus shouted, and he came to Renekton, and he wanted to take him into his arms and tell him how much he had missed him for thousands of years.

However, just when Nasus saw Reekton's expression, he was suddenly stunned.

Cold, detached, expressionless, and full of murderous intent, Nasus didn't know how to describe his brother's eyes at this time, but he knew that Renekton's mood must not be as excited as he was at this moment.

"Brother?" Nasus cried softly.

"Don't call me brother, Nasus."

Finally, Renekton spoke slowly, and his first words pierced Nasus's heart like a steel needle.

Nasus's expression was stunned, but then, Renekton's voice rang out again:

"Put away your hypocrisy, Nasus. I know, I'm not dead, you're disappointed! I'm afraid you didn't even think that I would be able to escape from the emperor's tomb alive. ”

Nasus's body jerked, and he sensed the key point in Renekton's words.

"Brother, are you blaming me?"

At this moment, endless remorse rose in Nasus's heart, and at the same time, the scene of the past resurfaced in his heart like a nightmare.

Once, Zelas pushed him off the altar during Azir's Ascension ceremony and stole his Ascension power.

After the explosion that destroyed the empire, Nasus and Renekton engaged in a fierce battle with Zeroth.

However, despite the two brothers' efforts to fight together, they discover over time that they cannot defeat Zelas!

Seeing that Zelas was about to leave unharmed, Nasus and Renekton were forced to choose to use the impregnable cage - the Emperor's Tomb!

However, with the power of Zeroth, one of the two brothers must choose to sacrifice himself to drag Zelas to the Emperor's Tomb, and the other must complete the sealing of the Emperor's Tomb outside.

In this way, one of them must be sealed in the dark tomb of the emperor for eternity.

At that time, the brothers had a fierce quarrel over who was sealed, and both the elder brother and the younger brother were ready to sacrifice themselves to fulfill their own brothers.

Eventually, Renekton took advantage of Nasus's inattention and took the lead in holding Zelas and crashing into the Emperor's Tomb.

With tears in his eyes, Nasus did everything in his power to close the door to the Emperor's Mausoleum.

The culprit of the destruction of the empire has been sealed, but he has also lost his favorite brother.

After that, Nasus was devastated, and he didn't even pay attention to the mentally degraded Ascendants, who eventually led them to fully evolve into the Darkspawn, and another catastrophe befell the Land of Runeterrae.

For three thousand years, Nasus lived in endless chagrin and remorse every day and night, and the immortality of the Ascended Body turned from a gift to a curse.

Completely secluded, he always bore a heavy sense of guilt, and he wandered quietly among the empty ruins, watching the desert gradually swallow up the traces of his homeland, mourning all that was gone.

It wasn't long ago that Azir had been resurrected and the doors of the Emperor's Tomb had been opened once more, and while Nasus feared that Zelas would be freed, a glimmer of hope had risen in his heart that made him tremble with excitement.

Is his younger brother still alive, and is he also out of trouble?

During this time, Nasus was extremely excited every day, and he was always looking forward to the day he would meet Renekton.

However, now, he and Renekton finally meet, but the younger brother in front of him makes him feel extremely strange.

In a panic, Nasus blamed Renekton for sealing him in the Emperor's Tomb as his brother.

Renekton looked at Nasus's performance in front of him, and a sneer suddenly appeared on his face:

"What a hypocritical performance, Nasus. Zelas is right, it seems that you have been very nourishing for thousands of years. ”

A look of surprise appeared in Nasus's eyes, but then he said in a sincere tone:

"Brother, what the hell are you talking about? You're still blaming me, are you? Come back to the imperial capital with me, and I will compensate you every day for the rest of my life. ”

"Blame you?"

A hideous green tendon appeared on Renekton's arm gripping the meniscus axe, "I don't blame you. I just want to break you to pieces now! ”

As the words fell, Renekton rushed straight at Nasus.

"Die, Nasus!"

Faced with the sudden scene, there was a deep incredulity in Nasus's eyes, and he couldn't understand why his brother was what he was now.

Unbeknownst to Nasus, in the three thousand years that he had been sealed in the Emperor's Tomb, Renekton had lived almost every day and night under the bewitchment and torment of Zelas.

In a single case, Renekton was no match for Zelas, so he couldn't stop Zelas from torturing him at all.

But if Zelas didn't kill Renekton, he just tortured him, immersing him in infinite pain in his mind and body.

At first, Renekton, with his loyalty to the Empire and his love for his brother, has been trying his best to resist the torture of Zelas.

However, without his brother by his side, he could not compete with Zelas after all.

Whenever Renekton's spirit was on the verge of collapse, Zelas's voice would continue to echo in his heart:

"Nasus is a hypocrite, and the reason why he sealed you and me in this dark hell is so that he can enjoy the favor of people outside, and enjoy the glory and wealth alone!"

"He never treated you like his brother, he just used you all the time!"

Perhaps, Renekton could have resisted Zelas's inducement and scolded him at the beginning, but what if the time of torture and inducement became three thousand years?

Now, three thousand years later, Renekton's mind has been completely distorted by Zelas, and all that is left in his heart is pain and hatred.

Now he has rushed out of the Imperial Tomb with hatred for Nasus, and he has vowed to kill this hypocrite!

It's just that Nasus doesn't know all this.

"Boom!"

The Meniscus Axe collided with the War Staff, and Nasus's already wounded body flew upside down, gliding far through the desert before stopping.

But before Nasus could react, Renekton was already in front of him again.

Renekton's attacks were unreserved, and each of his attacks was aimed at killing Nasus.

A purple-black energy appeared in Nasus's hand and attached it to Renekton's body, and after Renekton's movements slowed down somewhat, Nasus shouted in a trembling voice:

"Brother, why?"

"Nasus, can you still enjoy all these thousands of years of glory and wealth? After being dashing for so long, you deserve to die too! ”

Renekton let out a violent roar in the direction where Nasus was, and the surging air caused the yellow sand around Nasus to be blown away in an instant, forming a sand curtain towards Nasus.

At the same time, Renekton, who saw that he could not kill Nasus with his current strength, was no longer ready to hold any more reservations.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The dull beating of his heart grew louder and louder, and the fiery and pure power of ascension flowed through Renekton's body, and he threw his head up to the sky and roared again.

It was also at this moment that Renekton's body began to grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the power of the ascension enveloped the gravel around him, forming a forbidden field around him.

After a short while, Renekton, who was nearly thirty meters tall, rushed towards Nasus again.

Facing his brother, Nasus didn't know how he could get rid of the hatred in his heart, but he still had to protect this fragile empire, and it was not yet time for him to die.

The same pure ascension power burst out of Nasus's body, and his form soon became comparable to that of Renekton.

At this time, in the desert of Shurima, the two Ascended Heavenly Gods launched a fierce battle, their bodies dozens of meters high constantly colliding, and the visual impact was extremely strong.

In the distance, on the walls of the ancient city, Taliyah looked at Zuo Chi with some concern:

"Zuo Chi, what are we going to do?"

Zuo Chi sighed lightly: "What can we outsiders say about this kind of thing?" It's up to them to figure it out themselves. I can only guarantee that neither of them will actually die. ”

Zuo Chi knew very well that even if he told Nasus about the current situation of Renekton, the battle between the two brothers was still unavoidable, after all, how could Renekton sit down and reason with you now.

Perhaps, only battle and blood will awaken his senses.

"Bang!"

Although the battle between Nasus and Renekton was extremely fierce, if you look closely, you can see that the battle between the two is basically Renekton attacking, while Nasus is only defending.

He had already hurt his brother once, and now, he would not do anything to hurt his brother again, no matter what.

Knocked into the air again, Nasus's massive body fell heavily into the sand.

The injuries he sustained in the previous battle with Zelas have not fully healed, and now that he is fighting Renekton, Nasus's body has reached its limit.

His large clawed hands grabbed Nasus's neck, and Renekton looked down condescendingly at Nasus lying on the ground:

"Nasus, when you sealed me in the Emperor's Tomb, did you think that this would happen!"

Nasus lay in the yellow sand, and his gaze at Renekton was still so gentle and reluctant, but now his tone seemed to carry a deep relief:

"Brother, if killing me can make you happy, then do it."

Nasus raised his slightly trembling arm, his hand brushing his brother's cheek:

"After my brother dies, you have to protect the empire for your brother. The empire is still fragile, and we have failed to protect the empire in the past, and now we must fulfill our responsibilities. ”

"Don't always be so reckless, don't shout and kill at every turn, think more about everything, if you can't do it, ask Your Majesty's opinion more."

There were tears rolling in Nasus's eyes: "Brother is really reluctant to bear you, we haven't seen each other for thousands of years, it's just that the meeting I have been looking forward to for thousands of years has also become the last time we will meet." ”

Nasus closed his eyes, his hand resting on Renekton's arm, his voice as soft as a breeze.

"Do it, brother."

At this moment, listening to Nasus's choked words, Renekton's meniscus axe, which had already reached Nasus's throat, suddenly stopped.

Not only that, but Renekton's body was shaking violently, especially when Nasus's hand brushed his face, and he only felt like his head was about to explode.

No, he's pretending, he must be pretending! How could he not be afraid of death! How could he be willing to give up this comfortable life that he had enjoyed for three thousand years!

It's not at all like what Zelas said!

Renekton was directly caught in a huge contradiction, Zelas's voice kept ringing in his heart, and that voice was constantly tempting him to chop off the knife and axe in his hand, and his arm only needed to move down a point before he could kill this hypocritical villain he had hated for thousands of years.

But, for some reason, he couldn't do it.

It was clear that the enemy he had longed for for so long was right in front of him, but he couldn't kill him no matter what.

Even looking at the tears in Nasus's eyes, for some reason, Renekton only felt as if his heart was being clutched by a pair of big hands, and he was a little out of breath.

It was also at this moment that a figure suddenly appeared in front of Renekton.

It's the left pool.

At this time, the fox mark at the center of Zuo Chi's eyebrows was completely lit up, and the majestic and soft spiritual power flowed out of his hand, quickly merging into the center of Renekton's eyebrows.

"Uhh

This time, Renekton suddenly let out a painful roar, and then, he abandoned his weapon and kept roaring with his head in his hands.

At this moment, everything he had forgotten flashed through his mind like a slide.

He and his elder brother were born in a small border town in the ancient Shurima Empire, and from an early age, his older brother Nasus showed an amazing ability to learn, but unlike his older brother, he was always impetuous, and always liked to fight fiercely.

Later, Nasus was admitted to the Empire's Sun Academy because of his outstanding qualifications, and the brothers were separated.

Nasus had a keen grasp of military strategy and war logistics, and soon became the youngest general in the history of the Shurima Empire.

He was sympathetic to his soldiers, took his responsibilities very seriously, and always made sure that his soldiers were adequately supplied, paid in a timely manner, and rewarded and punished.

He led the Emperor's mortal army to countless victories, and was deeply respected and loved by his subordinates, and he was even known as Aatrox of the mortal army!

At that time, this was almost the highest honor!

Later, out of concern and longing for his brother, Nasus unexpectedly incorporated Renekton, who was not old enough to join the army, and always helped him deal with the trouble he caused.

Since then, the two brothers have made incomparably outstanding contributions to the Shurima Empire.

However, the lifespan of mortals is limited.

After a long period of exertion, Nasus's body was overwhelmed, and he was on the verge of death, and when he heard the news, Renekton, who had grown into a military general, rushed back to his brother's side from the front line as soon as possible.

The whole country was in mourning, for Nasus was the Imperial General whom everyone loved, and even the Emperor himself pleaded with the Ascended Order, Sertaca, to have his deeds weighed against the Sun's disk.

After a day and a night of waiting, the Order of the Sun of Setaka decided that Nasus could receive the blessing of Ascension, and his character earned him the approval of the Sun Disc!

It's just that at this time, Nasus has come to the end of his life.

His muscles had completely atrophied, he was skinny and skinny, and he didn't even have the strength to stand.

Under these circumstances, it has become a luxury for Nasus to stand on the Altar of Ascension.

Once a person who has not been approved by the Sun Disc walks into the Ascension Altar, the only fate waiting for this person is to be burned by the power of Ascension, so others can't help Nasus at all, after all, this is no different from exchanging lives for lives.

But at this time, a burly figure came to Nasus, and carried him on his back without the slightest hesitation.

Renekton's steps were unequivocal, and his eyes were resolute as if he were accomplishing the most important thing of his life.

"Brother, let me go." On Renekton's back, Nasus called weakly.

Facing his brother's words, Renekton just smiled at him:

"Brother, exchanging the life of a thousand commanders for the life of an imperial general, I have made a lot of money. Look at you and say I'm stupid. ”

Renekton ignored his brother's frantic cries, and walked through the silent crowd through the silent crowd and under the gaze of the entire Empire, carrying his brother on his back to the altar of the sun.

Just before the figures of the two brothers were completely overwhelmed by the fiery power of ascension, Renekton's last words rang in everyone's ears.

"Brother, I know that if we switch roles, you will also save me, right? We are brothers, and I am willing to die for you! ”

The Ascension Divine Power overwhelmed the two brothers, and everyone was infected by the feelings of the two brothers, and they both regretted the loss of Renekton.

However, when the power of the ascension that had lasted for an unknown amount of time slowly dissipated, everyone was stunned.

Because right in front of them, on the magnificent altar of the sun, two huge figures tens of meters high stood proudly side by side!

Neither Renekton nor Nasus died, and together they completed Ascension.

In the midst of all the attention, the brothers on the altar of the sun looked at each other, and at that moment, thousands of emotions were all in a relieved smile.

They never had to say much to each other, and sometimes it only took a glance for them to understand what was in each other's hearts, and together they guarded the Shurima Empire until the catastrophe of destruction came.

It is these two people who have fallen into the current situation of cannibalism!

Scenes from the past kept coming back to Renekton's mind, and he only felt like his head was about to crack.

"Roar!"

Renekton's roar continued to ring, and blue-black arcane magic began to emerge in the center of his brow, constantly trying to suppress his memories.

"Brother!" Perceiving Renekton's reaction, Nasus called.

"Get out of here!"

Renekton let out another roar, but he didn't know if it was for Nasus or for Zelas in his head.

Suddenly retracting the meniscus axe, Renekton turned around desperately and rushed into the vast desert.

Seeing this, Nasus also quickly got up, and chased after Renekton.

"Taliyah, please also escort the imperial daughter back to the imperial capital, and tell Your Majesty that I will be back soon."

Soon, the figures of Nasus and Renekton disappeared from everyone's eyes.

In place, Zuo Chi sighed.

"At this point, whether you can do it or not depends on yourself."

Zuochi looked at Taliyah and Sivir, after so long, it was time to say goodbye to them and go looking for Aatrox.

On the other side, Renekton's eyes were completely bloodshot, he covered his head and stumbled forward, he didn't know how long he had been running, he didn't know where he was going, he didn't even know what the point of panicking was.

Zelas's voice was still ringing in his head, but with the fragment of his memory just now, Renekton also knew that he could no longer attack Nasus.

Now, he may have the only way to escape.

In the rear, Nasus dragged his injured body behind Renekton, he was not worried about his brother's situation, so he had to protect him.

He had already lost his brother once, and he must not let him happen a second time.

However, it seems that the more a person worries about something, the more something will befall him.

Suddenly, Nasus jerked his head up and looked ahead, in front of Renekton.

There, Nasus saw the female figure with a curved chainsaw and bony wings behind her.

Darkspawn - Zorani!

Zolani hovered in front of Renekton, and she held out her arm towards Renekton.

"Renekton, leave all that stuff behind and join me. I'll give you everything you want! ”

At the most vulnerable point in today's Renekton, Zolani appeared in front of the two brothers.
