At this moment, in the desert of Shurima, two ascended gods engaged in a fierce battle. Their bodies, tens of meters tall, collided repeatedly, creating a powerful visual impact.
In the distance, on the ancient city wall, Taliyah looked at Zuo Chi with some worry:
"Zuo Chi, what should we do?"
Zuo Chi sighed softly, "What can we outsiders say about this? They have to solve it themselves. I can only guarantee that neither of the brothers will actually die."
Zuo Chi knew very well that even if he told Nasus about Renekton's current situation, a fight between the two brothers was still inevitable. After all, how could Renekton possibly sit down and reason with you now?
Perhaps only battle and bloodshed can awaken his mind.
"Oh!"
Although the fight between Nasus and Renekton was incredibly intense, a closer look reveals that Renekton was primarily on the offensive, while Nasus was mostly on the defensive.
He had already hurt his brother once, and now, no matter what, he would never do anything to hurt his brother again.
Once again knocked away, Nasus's massive body crashed heavily into the yellow sand.
Nasus's body has reached its limit after fighting Xerath and now fighting Renekton.
A large, clawed hand gripped Nasus's neck, Renekton looking down at Nasus lying on the ground:
"Nasus, when you sealed me in the imperial tomb, did you ever imagine this day would come!"
Nasus lay in the yellow sand, his gaze towards Renekton still tender and reluctant, but now his tone seemed to carry a deep sense of relief:
"Brother, if killing me will make you happy, then do it."
Nasus raised his slightly trembling arm and gently stroked his brother's cheek:
"After your brother's death, you must protect the empire in his stead. The empire is still very fragile. We failed to protect it in the past, and now we must fulfill the responsibilities we failed to fulfill."
"You shouldn't always be so reckless. Don't shout for war at the drop of a hat. Think things through more. If you really can't figure it out, ask His Majesty for his opinion."
Tears streamed down Nasus's face. "Brother, I really hate to part with you. We haven't seen each other for thousands of years. But the reunion I've longed for for thousands of years has become our last."
Nasus closed his eyes, placed his hand on Renekton's arm, and spoke as softly as a breeze.
"Go ahead, little brother."
At that moment, hearing Nasus's choked words, Renekton's crescent-shaped axe, which was already at Nasus's throat, suddenly stopped.
Not only that, Renekton's body was trembling violently, especially when Nasus's hand brushed across his face, he felt as if his head was about to explode.
No, he's faking it all! He must be faking it! How could he not be afraid of death? How could he willingly give up this comfortable life he's enjoyed for three thousand years?
This is completely different from what Xerath said!
Renekton was caught in a huge dilemma. The voice of Xerath kept echoing in his mind, tempting him to cut down the axe in his hand. If he lowered his arm even a little, he could kill this hypocritical villain he had hated for thousands of years.
But for some reason, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Even though the enemy he had longed for was right in front of him, he simply couldn't bring himself to kill him.
Even seeing the tears in Nasus's eyes, Renekton felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly by a pair of large hands, and he could hardly breathe.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Renekton.
It's the left pool.
At this moment, the fox mark between Zuo Chi's eyebrows lit up completely, and a powerful yet gentle spiritual energy flowed from his hand, quickly merging into Renekton's brow.
"Uh-huh!"
This time, Renekton suddenly let out a painful roar, then dropped his weapon and clutched his head, howling incessantly.
At this moment, everything he had forgotten flashed through his mind like a slideshow.
He and his brother were born in a remote town on the outskirts of the ancient Shurima Empire. From a young age, his brother Nasus showed amazing learning abilities. However, unlike his brother, he was restless and always liked to fight and quarrel with others.
Later, Nasus was admitted to the Imperial Sun Academy due to his exceptional talent, and the two brothers were separated from each other.
Nasus possessed an exceptionally keen understanding of military strategy and war logistics, and soon became the youngest general in the history of the Shurima Empire.
He was considerate of his soldiers and took his responsibilities very seriously. He always ensured that his soldiers received adequate supplies, timely pay, and fair rewards and punishments.
He led the emperor's mortal army to countless victories and was deeply respected and loved by his subordinates. He was even called the Aatrox of the mortal army!
At the time, this was practically the highest honor!
Later, out of concern and longing for his younger brother, Nasus made an exception and enlisted Renekton, who was not yet old enough to join the army, and always helped him deal with the trouble he caused.
After that, the two brothers, one a scholar and the other a warrior, made outstanding contributions to the Shurima Empire.
However, the lifespan of mortals is ultimately finite.
The long hours of hard work had taken their toll on Nasus's body, and he was on the verge of death. Upon hearing the news, Renekton, who had risen to the rank of military commander, rushed back to his brother's side from the front lines as soon as possible.
The entire nation of Shurima was plunged into grief, for Nasus was a beloved Imperial general, and even the Emperor himself had personally pleaded with Setaka of the Ascended to have the deeds of this meritorious general assessed by the Sun Disc.
After a day and a night of waiting, the Sun Order of Setaka determined that Nasus was eligible to receive the blessing of ascension, and his character earned him the approval of the Sun Disc!
However, Nasus had already reached the end of his life.
His muscles had completely atrophied; he was so thin he was skin and bones, and he didn't even have the strength to stand.
Under these circumstances, Nasus's desire to stand on the Ascension Altar had become a pipe dream.
Anyone who has not been recognized by the Sun Disc and enters the Ascension Altar will be burned by the power of Ascension. Therefore, no one can help Nasus, as it is no different from trading one's life for another.
But at that moment, a burly figure appeared in front of Nasus and carried him on his back without hesitation.
Renekton's steps were incredibly firm, his eyes resolute as if he were accomplishing the most important thing in his life.
"Brother, put me down," Nasus called weakly from Renekton's back.
Rexton simply chuckled at his brother's words.
"Brother, I've made a huge profit trading the life of a centurion for the life of an imperial general. Let's see if you still call me stupid now."
Ignoring his brother's frantic cries, Renekton carried his brother step by step through the silent crowd, under the watchful eyes of the entire Empire, and ascended to the Sun Altar.
Just before the two brothers' figures were completely engulfed by the intense power of ascension, Renekton's last words rang in everyone's ears.
"Brother, I know that if our roles were reversed, you would save me too, right? We are brothers, and I am willing to die for you!"
The power of ascension overwhelmed the two brothers, and everyone was moved by their bond, lamenting Renekton's passing.
However, when the ascension power that had lasted for an unknown period of time slowly dissipated, everyone was stunned.
Because right in front of them, on the magnificent altar of the sun, two enormous figures, tens of meters tall, stood proudly side by side!
Neither Renekton nor Nasus died, and they ascended together.
Amidst the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two brothers on the altar of the sun gazed at each other, and at that moment, a myriad of emotions were contained in their relieved smiles.
They never needed to say much to each other; sometimes, a single glance was enough for them to understand each other's thoughts. Together, they protected the Shurima Empire until the catastrophe that destroyed the nation arrived.
These two people have ended up killing each other!
Scenes from the past kept flashing through Renekton's mind, and he felt as if his head was about to split open.
"Roar!"
Renekton's roars continued, and dark blue arcane magic began to appear between his brows, constantly trying to suppress his memories.
"Brother!" Nasus called out, noticing Renekton's reaction.
"Everyone get out of here!"
Renekton roared again, but it was unclear whether this roar was directed at Nasus or at Xerath in his mind.
He abruptly retracted his crescent-shaped axe, turned around without hesitation, and charged into the vast desert.
Seeing this, Nasus quickly got up and, disregarding everything else, chased after Renekton.
"Taliyah, please escort the princess back to the capital and tell His Majesty that I will be back soon."
Soon, Nasus and Renekton disappeared from everyone's sight.
Left Chi sighed deeply.
"At this point, whether you can succeed depends on yourself."
Zuo Chi looked at Taliyah and Sivir. After dragging it out for so long, it was time to say goodbye to them and go find Aatrox.
On the other side, Renekton's eyes were completely bloodshot. He covered his head and stumbled forward, not knowing how long he had been running, where he was going, or even the meaning of his desperate running.
Xerath's voice still echoed in his mind, but with the fragments of memory he had just received, Renekton knew that he could no longer harm Nasus.
Now, perhaps his only option is to run away.
Behind him, Nasus, dragging his injured body, followed Renekton. He was worried about his brother's condition, so he had to protect him.
He had already lost his brother once; he absolutely could not let him suffer a second time.
However, it seems that the more a person worries about something, the more likely that thing will happen to them.
Suddenly, Nasus looked up sharply, right in front of Renekton.
There, Nasus saw the female figure wielding a curved chainsaw and with skeletal wings on her back.
The Darkin—Zorani!
Zolani hovered in front of Renekton and stretched out her arm toward him.
"Rekton, abandon all that complicated stuff and join my ranks. I will give you everything you want!"
