LOL: Let me touch your steel

only...

How can this be?

Shouldn't a person who died in the catacombs be buried deep underground by the collapsed ground? How could he suddenly come to the surface?

Ezreal stood up in shock, his face full of disbelief.

Then, Ezreal's expression froze.

Near Sivir's body, Ezreal saw a vague figure!

"Who...who is he?"

The figure was so blurry that Ezreal couldn't see the guy's appearance clearly. Or maybe the guy wasn't a person at all, but an illusion!

But why did he appear near Sivir?

What does Sivir's body that appeared on the ground have to do with this figure?

Ezreal's mind was full of question marks. The development of things had far exceeded his imagination.

But Zhang Xu did not show any surprise. This figure...if he guessed correctly, it should be Azir.

Zhang Xu silently estimated the distance between him and Azir in his mind, which had reached the display range of Heart Steel's weakness.

But there was no red light on the figure's body, so Azir now could not be called a living creature at all. At most, he was a moving tangible dust, relying on his last bit of indomitable will to hold together and support his actions.

"Zhang Xu, who is he?"

Kassa frowned, a look of confusion on her face.

This guy's condition...seems very strange. Kassa couldn't sense any signs of life in him, and describing him as an illusion didn't seem quite right, but this figure was able to move autonomously.

"Thousands of years ago, Azir was the last emperor of the Shurima Empire. Sivir's blood flows in his veins, and it was her blood that awakened this ancient emperor who had been sleeping for thousands of years."

Thousands of years ago...the last emperor of the Shurima Empire?

Kai'Sa, Taliyah, and Ezreal were all stunned. After Zhang Xu's explanation...it seemed even more difficult to understand!

Where is this?

Why am I... here?

My Empire...what happened?

The figure staggering forward in the ruins had staggering steps and walked in confusion among the ruins, his mind filled with too many doubts.

As he staggered, Azir gradually regained his original physical form. He saw the body of a girl and the vicious knife wound on the back of the body, which almost ran across the entire back. It was shocking.

Azir didn't know this girl, but he saw his own blood characteristics in her appearance.

This is... my descendant?

Azir looked at the corpse on the ruins in a daze. All thoughts of the glory and power of the past empire were thrown behind him at this moment. According to his instinct, Azir lifted the corpse with great effort.

He already had difficulty walking, and it became even more difficult after holding up the corpse, but Azir did not let go and continued to move forward firmly in a certain direction.

"This guy...what is he going to do with Sivir's body?"

Seeing Azir's actions, Ezreal's face showed shock, but before he could say the second sentence, Zhang Xu interrupted him mercilessly:

"If you want your friend to be resurrected, shut up and keep watching!"

Zhang Xu felt his breathing become rapid. Next, he would witness history!

Azir carried Sivir's body and slowly came to the Dawn Oasis, the ancient capital of Shurima. The oasis had long been dry, but with every step Azir took, clear fresh water gushed out, filling the basin made of stones.

Soon, a pool of clear fresh water regained vitality and vigor, filling the entire basin.

Azir soaked Sivir's body in the healing water of the oasis, and a light green light instantly appeared. A miracle happened, the blood on Sivir's back began to slowly dissipate, and the fatal knife wound began to gradually heal, until finally, only a shallow scar was left.

The wounds on Sivir's body have really healed!

Although she did not wake up immediately, Zhang Xu and others had already felt the breath of life in her!

Really...really alive!

Bring back to life?

Ezreal's eyes gradually widened and his body trembled slightly.

Ezreal originally became an explorer just to find his parents. After all these years, there is still no news of them. Although he hates to admit it, they may really be gone.

But this pool of clear water in front of you can bring the dead back to life!

If he could find his parents' bodies, could he also resurrect them in this way?

Ezreal's heart was filled with excitement, but then reality poured a bucket of cold water on him.

Because of Azir's selfless act, a pillar of fire instantly appeared among the ruins, and Azir's body was lifted into the air by this pillar of fire!

Chapter 82 Awakening

The ancient magic of Shurima lifted Azir high into the sky, and in the blazing flames, Azir was reborn.

The ascension ceremony, which had been delayed for thousands of years, finally arrived. The huge ascension energy descended from the sky and poured into Azir's body. The ascension energy was gradually transforming Azir's body into that of an ascender.

The sun's immortal light poured into his body, forging his magnificent eagle armor and granting him the ability to control the sand. Azir raised his hands, and his ruined city, once a sacred ancient capital, shook off the dust that had covered it for hundreds of years and rose above the ground again.

The earth shook violently, making deafening noises, as if cheering for the return of the ancient emperor.

High in the sky, the sun disk that once symbolized the glory and splendor of Shurima reappeared. Healing waters flowed between the temples, and under the emperor's orders, temples rose from the ground again to welcome the sunshine.

In an instant, a thousand-year-old ancient city that had been buried for hundreds of years rose from the ground and regained its former glory.

Azir floated in the air, with his arms open, enjoying the sun bath.

This feeling has been gone for thousands of years!

But now, Shurima, your Emperor has returned!

Is this...the power of the Ascendant?

Azir clenched his fists, feeling the tremendous energy in his body and his control over the surrounding yellow sand. This feeling was unprecedentedly wonderful.

Everything in Shurima seemed to be under his control.

The astonishing energy released by the ascension ceremony and the terrifying shaking of the ground forced Zhang Xu and others to float in the air. Looking at the changes in Azir, everyone's face was filled with astonishment.

Even Zhang Xu couldn't help but marvel at the ascension ceremony; it was faster than he had imagined.

Zhang Xu originally thought that this would be a very long process, but he did not expect Azir's ascension ceremony to be so short. Moreover, the power displayed by Azir at this moment also made Zhang Xu look sideways.

This level of ascending energy...

No wonder it is said that the Tsar underwent the most perfect ascension ceremony after his resurrection...Isn't his strength close to that of Queen Setaka who once led the god-warriors to fight against the void?

In fact, a strong desire also emerged in Zhang Xu's body just now, and the ascension power in his body was also craving for Azir's ascension energy.

But Zhang Xu found that he couldn't do it. He couldn't push Azir away like Xerath did and accept the ceremony himself.

Firstly, it was because Azir had unreserved trust in Xerath, and secondly, it was because Azir had learned his lesson after getting a lesson. Although he was in the ascending flames, Azir remained vigilant of his surroundings.

What's more, this ascension ceremony should belong to Azir alone.

Anyone who wants to replace Azir will end up in ashes.

Azir noticed the figures of Zhang Xu and others appearing nearby, but he didn't take it to heart.

Among the four, only Zhang Xu's strength could attract Azir's attention. And Azir felt the power of an ascender in Zhang Xu.

However, for Azir, there are more important things to do now.

He wanted to know what happened in the former empire and the ceremony that led to the ancient capital becoming a ruin!

Azir climbed up the newly risen Temple of the Sun, and a magical magic emerged. A hurricane blew, rolling up yellow sand all over the sky, recreating the last moment of this ancient capital.

The dust formed ghostly phantoms that recreated the dying scenes of the city. He watched in amazement as his family was horrified, his empire fell, and his powers were stolen.

Most importantly, he saw Xerath's betrayal and the huge conspiracy buried in his heart.

Once close friends and best brothers, they have now become enemies, and each of their hearts is filled with deep hatred, which makes Azir feel sad.

but...

This breath...

Azir's eyes narrowed slightly, and his sight instantly locked on the southeast.

Somewhere in that corner...he sensed Xerath!

You are still alive!

So next, we should make a break... I will take back my land and everything that belongs to me!

......

In the Shurima Desert, between the mountains near Zerilla, an energy body emitting a dark aura suddenly looked up. He sensed that another soul had returned to the world from under the yellow sand, a soul that he thought had long been extinct.

Azir has just been reborn and has become a member of the Ascended.

There is no peace between them, and the end of everything is the complete death of one of them.

Sensing the enormous ascended energy possessed by Azir, a distorted smile appeared on Xerath's face, whose original appearance could no longer be recognized.

My old friend... let's put all this to rest when we meet next time!

A sense of urgency rose in Xerath's heart. He had to understand what kind of changes had taken place in the world, and he had to constantly steal various powers. Only in this way could he confront Azir head-on and completely break the shackles in his heart.

And next is the world waiting to be conquered and harvested!

A world filled with mortals of all stripes, all ready to worship their new and terrifying gods!

------

In the Shurima Desert, amidst the vast expanse of yellow sand, a wise man with a dog's head and a human body slowly opened his eyes. He sensed that Xerath was free, and the ancient vitality had awakened in Nasus' heart. What amazed him even more was that he saw the rebirth of Azir, and saw the sun disk symbolizing glory rising above the yellow sand again.

The Shurima of the past is coming back!

Although Xerath is still a threat that cannot be ignored, Nasus knows that the reborn God-Emperor will require years of guidance and counsel. As a rare wise man in Shurima, Nasus has an obligation to do so!

Get out of here and find Azir!

Nasus felt a faint hope in his heart. Perhaps, he could see his brother again after not seeing him for many years...
