In the days that followed, Zuo Chi and Aatrox did not go out again, and they have been regaining their strength.

The three ascending gods of Nasus, Renekton, and Cassadine woke up one after another, and although the power of ascension in their bodies had not yet fully recovered, they also had some combat ability.

The Moonfire Waterfall released through Charikar can detonate the power of Ascension in the Ascendant's body, which makes it take a lot of time for both the Darkspawn and the Ascension to fully regain their strength.

Zuo Chi is recovering his strength while staying with Kaisha every day.

During this time, Aatrox led members of the Darkspawn Legion to the palace, where he consulted with Azir for an entire day.

When Aatrox returned with the Darkspawn again, there was a relief and relief in their eyes that they hadn't seen in a long time.

There is no doubt that Shurima's contemporary Emperor, Azir, chose to accept these lost Ascended Ones and granted them the right to ascend to the Ascend Altar once again.

Finally, a whole month passed like this.

One afternoon, Nasus traveled to the place where the Darkspawns were and explained to them Azir the summons.

In the main hall of the palace, Azir sat on a throne, and below him were the three Ascended Gods, Zuochi, and the Dark Descendants.

Looking at the warriors below, Azir's eyes couldn't help but have a deep look of relief.

At the beginning, when Zuo Chi proposed to him to let Aatrox and the others ascend for the second time, he was directly stunned by shock.

Azir had to admit that he had really never thought of such a thing before, because there had never been such a precedent before, and this was undoubtedly very bold.

However, after Zuo Chi explained the stakes to him, Azir Dang even chose to agree.

Azir believes that after tomorrow, the Shurima Empire will once again have more than a dozen ascended gods, and its strength will leap by a geometric multiple.

"Generals, it seems that your strength has almost recovered."

Zuo Chi and the others below nodded, their eyes focused on Azir, and they were already able to guess what was going to happen next.

Seeing that everyone nodded, Azir continued:

"In three days, it will be the anniversary of the founding of the Shurima Empire, and on this day 4,600 years ago, the ancestors Empress Setaka and General Aatrox and other soldiers founded this great empire."

"So, I'm going to announce it to the world tomorrow and hold an ascension ceremony for the generals in three days' time!"

"At that time, no matter what the outcome is, I will respect the choice of the generals."

As Zochi said, Azir is also well aware of the uncertainty of the Darkspawn's second ascension.

It is still possible for the noble Shurima warriors to ascend to failure, let alone these fallen ascendants who have been in the Land of Woe Rune for thousands of years.

However, Azir's words did not upset the Darkspawns, and even each of them became extremely excited.

They were well aware of the risks, but they were nothing compared to the hope of returning to their ascended bodies.

There is nothing to be afraid of once you die!

They have endured countless days and nights in this excruciating torment, and even now, they are still living in pain.

And now, the hope of liberation is in front of them, and they have no reason not to accept it.

When they came out of the main hall, there was a look of determination in the eyes of each Darkborn, and an invisible covenant seemed to spread in the hearts of everyone in the Darkspawn Legion.

Aatrox will be the first to stand on the Ascension Altar, and no matter what the result of Aatrox's Ascension is, no matter whether Aatrox succeeds or falls, the other Darkborns will continue to stand on the Ascension Altar without flinching!

Even if they die together, they will not regret it.

However, among the many Dark Descendants, there is only one person who is the most special.

That's Cain and Raast!

Throughout, Cain and Raaste did not speak, or even express any opinions.

The two remained silent, Cain taking Raast everywhere while Raast listened quietly.

Unlike other Dark Spawns, Cain and Raast are really special, after all, Cain is not like the physical body of other Dark Spawns, Cain is really a big living person, a big living person with his own sanity.

He shared the body with Raaste, and most of the time, Cain was still dominant.

"Rayast."

Walking down the avenue of Shurima's palace, Cain looked down at the Darkspawn Scythe in his hand.

Unknowingly, he has been acquiring Raaste for many years.

Over the years, the two have experienced a lot together, and their relationship has grown stronger over time.

At first, Raast only thought that Cain was a weak body like any other human, and even though he failed to take Cain at first, he was always trying to erase Cain's soul and sanity.

And now, Raaste suddenly found that he seemed to have become accustomed to this way of dealing with Cain.

When Raast needs it, Cain will not hesitate to give control of his physical body to Laaste, and when Laaste uses up Cain's physical body, he will take the initiative to return control to Cain, and give him the powerful power of incarnating Blue Kai.

The two are like the closest companions, complementing each other.

Although the two will keep fighting with each other and tearing each other down on weekdays, they have to admit that the bond between the two is indeed getting deeper and deeper.

But now, in front of the ascension ceremony, the two had to consider whether they should be separated.

"Cain."

The blood-colored eyes on the Darkspawn Scythe opened, and Raaste whispered, "Go back to Ionia, your flesh is too weak to be worthy of the great Raaste." ”

Raast was well aware of the danger of this ascension, so he didn't want Kai Yin to die with him, but with Rayast's temperament, how could he say such a sensual thing, so he chose to drive Kai Yin away.

Listening to Raaste's words, Cain was extremely rare not to refute Raaste.

"Raaste, I really don't have the right to stand with you anymore."

Kai Yin suddenly smiled bitterly: "It can even be said that if it weren't for Ling, I might not have been able to touch this level of battle in my life." ”

"What kind of are you talking about!" Raaste's voice was suddenly filled with anger.

"Kai Yin, have you forgotten all your usual ambitions?"

Raaste couldn't accept that Kaiyin, who had a heart higher than the sky, said this, and he couldn't accept that Kaiyin was willing to fall because of his departure.

I don't know what came to mind, Kai Yin's eyes suddenly became extremely determined, and he looked down at the Darkspawn Giant Scythe in his hand.

"Raaste, do you dare to take a gamble?"

"Huh?"

Raaste was slightly stunned: "What are you betting on?" ”

"Bet that if I also stand on the Ascension Altar, I will not die!"

Kai Yin said in a deep voice: "Raast, you are so weak, without the help of Lord Kai Yin, you will not be able to ascend successfully. ”

"You're crazy." Raast said coldly, "Your wisest choice now is to go back to Ionia at once, and then shrink into your master's arms and be coquettish. ”

Kai Yin said disapprerovingly: "You just say that you dare to bet!" I'll play with you with my life, don't say you're cowardly! ”

"What am I afraid of? Kai Yin, if you lose, even if you go to the underworld, I won't be able to spare you! ”

Raaste's tone suddenly brought a smile of relief: "But if you win, I will allow you to be the boss for three days." ”

Cain smiled too, and laughed heartily.

If he loses, then he and Layastor will really die together, but if they win, they will not only have more power to ascend, but they will also be able to stay together.

Cain led Raaste into the distance, leaving only the laughter of the two in the empty palace.

"Kai Yin, you're such an idiot."

"Raaste, you're even a hundred times stupider than me!"

The news that more than a dozen Shurima Empire generals were about to perform the ascension ceremony spread throughout the Shurima Empire as if they had wings planted.

During this period of time, without Zelas making trouble, more and more people are returning to the Shurima Empire, and the news that more than a dozen Ascension Gods are about to be born is undoubtedly the most effective booster.

All of a sudden, a large number of Shurima's people rushed to the Shurima Imperial Capital, and they all wanted to witness this historic moment.

They had been looking forward to this moment for too long, and the Shurima Empire was finally on track again, and they finally didn't have to live like they used to live in secret.

It was the night, the night before the anniversary of the founding of Shurima.

In the room, Zuo Chi sat on the edge of the bed thinking about where to find Qianjue, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door of the room.

When he opened the door, Zuo Chi saw the sneaky Kai'Sa push open the door of the room and get in.

Looking at Kaisha a little helplessly, Zuo Chi asked with a smile, "Why did you come here so late?" ”

Because Kai'Sa is too thin-skinned, she doesn't blatantly live in the same room as Zuochi, but still lives with Taliyah as before.

Although she would be with Zuo Chi all day long on weekdays, it was really the first time that she secretly came to him in the middle of the night like this.

Kai'Sa stood in front of Zuo Chi, her expression as flat as she could.

"Taliyah is asleep, I'll take the time to come and see you."

"That"

Zuo Chi leaned close to Kaisha, lowered his head and blew softly in her ear: "Are you still leaving tonight?" ”

Kai'Sa subconsciously took a step back, and the cold expression that had been maintained was instantly broken, and a blush climbed on her face.

"You are going to ascend tomorrow, shouldn't you have a good rest?"

Originally, Kai'Sa was a little worried about Zuo Chi because Zuo Chi was going to fly tomorrow, so she came to see him tonight, but who would have thought that this was completely the little sheep who took the initiative to send himself into the tiger's den.

Zuo Chi patted his chest with a serious face: "If Kaisha is in need, even if I don't fly, I will try my best to meet Kaisha's needs." ”

"What are you talking nonsense!"

Kaisha's face turned even redder, and at the same time she poked Zuo Chi's chest angrily:

"As if I had a big need, I just came to see you."

Kaisha's words fell, and the room fell silent, except for the flickering candle flame that crackled from time to time.

Zuo Chi grabbed Kaisha's hand and put it on his chest, and at the same time slowly approached Kai'Sa in front of him.

Kaisha's slender eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slowly closed her eyes.

Zuo Chi wrapped his arms around Kasha's slender and flexible waist and snapped with her.

After a long time, Kai'Sa used her soft strength to push Zuo Chi away, she shrunk into Zuo Chi's arms, her breathing was a little heavy, and there was spring water in her eyes.

Kai'Sa gradually noticed that Zuo Chi's big hand, which was originally located on his waist, seemed to be a little dishonest, and began to move faintly downward.

Sensing this, Kaisha hurriedly pressed Zuo Chi's hand, and at the same time she murmured in a weak mosquito voice:

"We. . We'll wait until tomorrow."

Hearing Kaisha's words, Zuo Chi blinked in surprise.

"Then Kaisha can come to my room and sleep in it after that?"

"Hmm."

Kai'Sa nodded, "But I need to find a reason to talk to Taliyah."

"Then I'll wait for you!"

Zuo Chi smiled instantly, and at the same time pulled Kasha close to his arms again.

But this time, just when Kai'Sa was ready to continue kissing Zuo Chi, Zuo Chi's head continued to move down a few points, and finally kissed Kai's delicate collarbone gently.

"Zizi~!"

The sound of saliva sucking was clear in the silence of the room, and Kai'Sa felt the touch that made her feel ashamed, and she hugged Zuochi's head tightly.

I don't know how long it took, but when Zuo Chi raised his head again, there was already a faint mark of pink-purple on Kaisha's collarbone.

"I'm leaving! Tomorrow Taliyah and I will go to see you and the generals ascend to the ceremony. ”

After saying this, Kai'Sa ran out of Zuo Chi's room as fast as a frightened kitten.

In the room, Zuo Chi pursed his lips, and then grinned.

——

The night passed in a hurry, and just as the early morning sun pierced the darkness and sprinkled the light on the Shurima Desert, the entire Shurima Emperor was completely lively.

A sea of people poured into the streets of the Imperial Capital, and everyone rushed towards the location of the Order of the Sun in the center of the Imperial Capital.

Now the whole of Shurima is completely united, and all are convinced that they are witnessing the arrival of the ascended gods today; Soon, they will once again witness the Ascended Celestial God leading Shurima's army to expand and regain lost territory.

What they have lost now will now be regained!

In a short period of time, the entire central area of the Imperial Capital of Shurima became crowded, and everyone was looking eagerly at the solar disc in the sky and the high platform in the distance of the solar disk.

"Boom!"

I don't know how long later, a dull roar resounded throughout the imperial capital, and then a golden pillar of light fell from the sky and hit the high platform.

In the golden light, Azir took the lead and walked out in front of Shurima's people, followed by Zuochi, Nasus, Aatrox and others.

"See Your Majesty!"

Azir's presence silenced the crowd below, and they all knelt down and saluted.

"Flat." Azir's voice was solemn and magnificent.

When all the people of Shurima had stood up, some of the brave ones were the first to look up at the high platform.

The Shurima Empire does not have the inexplicable crime of rashly looking directly at the emperor's honor, so everyone can clearly see the faces of the generals who are about to participate in the ascension ceremony on the high platform.

And just as people saw the group of Darkborns behind Azir, there was an instant violent commotion from the crowd, and even some people subconsciously retreated to the back.

There is no doubt that despite the passage of thousands of years, the Darkspawn still exists like a flood beast in people's hearts.

In the face of the performance of Shurima's people below, the mood of Aatrox and the others was also a little heavy.

But at this moment, Azir's voice sounded again:

"The people of Shurima, standing behind me, they used to be the Dark Descendants of the people, but now, they are the generals of the Shurima Empire."

"In the past, it was the Shurima Empire that abandoned the generals, and now, the Empire will make amends for its past mistakes. The generals will ascend to the altar of the sun."

Azir began to explain the contributions of Aatrox and others to the people below, and told them about the future of the Shurima Empire after Aatrox and others ascended.

In the end, the people of Shurima below, who were still terrified, had become extremely excited, and even the eyes that looked at Aatrox and the others had become extremely respectful.

I didn't say anything more, and went straight to the point.

Azir once again raised the Sun Emblem in his hand, and under the eager gaze of all the people of Shurima and the many Dark Descendants behind him, the daylight, the Sun Disc, and the Sun Emblem joined into a line, and the Sun Disc in the sky began to slowly rotate.

"Buzz!"

Gradually, the speed of the solar disk became faster and faster, and a golden crack seemed to crack on the sky, and an incomparably majestic force rushed straight down, hitting the solar disk straight.

At this time, Azir turned his head to look at the group of Darkspawns and Zuochi behind him.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

Just as the Darkspawn was about to move forward, Aatrox, who had been standing in front of him, slowly took a step forward.

"General." The Darkspawns all looked at Aatrox.

Aatrox held the Darkspawn greatsword in his hand, his eyes solemn and determined, and after nodding to Azir and Zuochi, he turned and strode towards the towering altar of the sun.

At this time, the majestic power of ascension emanating from the solar disc had completely flooded the Sun Altar, and Aatrox had already reached the edge of the Sun Altar.

Looking at the rich power of ascension in front of him, Aatrox's eyes revealed extremely complex emotions.

There is remembrance and relief, relief and expectation.

The power of the most masculine scorched Aatrox's skin, causing the depraved power within him to stir.

Aatrox couldn't tell what he would face when he stepped onto the altar of the sun, but his pace never stalled.

Ascending to the edge of the altar, Aatrox looked back at the Darkspawn Legion and Zuochi and the others on the high platform for the last time, and then his figure was completely swallowed up by the majestic power of ascension.

And at the same time, the chance of 100% success in Zuo Chi's mind was also consumed, and he followed Aatrox into the power of ascension.

While using this cheat would affect the Darkspawn's judgment of Ascension's chances of success, Zuochi had to do so, as he had to make sure that Aatrox was able to walk down the Ascension Altar and return to his original form.

"Uhh

At this moment, a roar of extreme pain resounded throughout the Sun Altar.

It was as if the extreme pain from the depths of his soul was constantly tormenting Aatrox's mind, and he could even clearly perceive that the soul of his body, every cell of himself, was being washed by the power of ascension.

The Dark Spawn's corrupted power is being replaced with the power of orthodox ascension, and Aatrox's flesh made of blood and magic is also being transformed into an orthodox ascension body.

Listening to Aatrox's roar, even though they were far away, the people below shuddered.

They couldn't imagine what it would take to be able to make such a painful roar from a general who had fought for the Empire for thousands of years.

On the high platform, Nasus, who was standing behind Azir, whispered, "Aatrox is the most perfect Ascendant except for Empress Setaka and Her Majesty, and both the Ascend Form and the Ascending Power are the best. This is much better than us. ”

The members of the Darkspawn Legion were staring at the Altar of the Sun, but when they heard Nasus's words, they nodded their heads in agreement.

Zuo Chi asked curiously, "Nasus, how do you judge the perfection of Ascension?" ”

After a moment's thought, Nasus replied, "First of all, it's naturally the strength of the aura of strength, after all, this is the most important thing for the Ascendant. In addition, the degree of change in appearance after ascension and the change in ascension weapons can confirm the perfection of ascension to a certain extent. ”

"In general, the more perfect the ascension, the less the change in appearance, as can be seen from His Majesty and Empress Setaka."

"At the same time, the time it takes to ascend and the amount of power absorbed by the ascension are also extremely important."

Zuo Chi asked softly, "Does the power of ascension come from the sun?" ”

"Of course."

Nasus nodded without hesitation, "The power of ascension is a gift from the sun to Shurima!" ”

Zuo Chi nodded, did not speak again, but set his gaze on the Sun Altar again.

As time passed, Aatrox's roar became weaker and fainter, and everyone's hands on the scene couldn't help but clench.

They feared that by the time the power of ascension had dissipated, there would be an ugly Bhakai on the altar of the sun, or that it would be completely empty.

No one would not want the success of this Ascension Ceremony, after all, the future of the Shurima Empire is at stake.

After more than two hours, the speed of the rotation of the sun's disk in the sky began to gradually slow down.

More than two hours, you know, it took less than an hour when Cassadine ascended, and now Aatrox took more than twice as long as Cassadine's ascension.

The power of the ascension on the altar of the sun gradually thinned, and everyone looked at the altar of the sun, and at the same time, a heart hung high.

Finally, when the power of ascension completely dissipated, the entire Shurima Emperor was completely in a boil.

On top of the towering Sun Altar, a huge figure nearly forty meters tall stood proudly holding a golden giant sword.

His wings were like golden light at dawn, and his armor shone like a constellation behind a curtain of deep space.

The face is shrouded in a golden mask, and a pair of wing-like horns extend from the sides of the skull.

A terrifying and magnificent coercion spread from his body, and at the same time proclaimed to the world:

The former general of the Ascension Legion, the Ascended God - Aatrox returns!

[Congratulations to the host for helping Aatrox complete his ultimate dream and get the perfect chance to ascend*1, the opportunity to trace the origin of ascension*1, and the chance to fuse elemental magic*1!] 】

(Aatrox's ascension form is good if it refers to the skin of the Arbitration Paladin)
