Chapter 945: The Fall of Shurima, the Power of the Sun Disc

From the moment he ruthlessly pushed Azir off the altar of the sun, Xerath stood alone on the top of the altar, letting the torrent of the sun's power pour into his body. This vast power seemed to have the power to reshape everything, and quickly reshaped Xerath's originally fragile mortal body into a majestic and powerful body of an ascended being.

However, for Xerath, this ordinary ascended form was just the beginning, far from his deepest desire and expectation. He had already planned in his mind for a long time. Afterwards, Xerath used his powerful divine magic to control the surrounding sun priests, making them unable to move like puppets, unable to interrupt this crucial ceremony.

Powerful solar energy continued to pour into his body. Under the guidance of Xerath's own dark witchcraft, the huge energy fused with his flesh and blood in his body and solidified into a powerful energy body.

As Xerath greedily devoured the power of the sun, his flesh and blood gradually merged with the energy, and was finally completely assimilated. His body was no longer restricted by the constraints of matter, but turned into a sorcerous energy body that flashed a deep blue light.

But at this moment, he has transcended the scope of mortals and become a more powerful being, a construct of pure arcane energy.

Nasus and Renekton, two powerful Ascended, just arrived at the scene at this time. They saw through Xerath's conspiracy, but everything was too late to save the situation. The only thing that could be saved was to punish Xerath, the culprit.

The ascension ceremony of Xerath finally ended, and when he just landed from the sunlight, before he could make any reaction, he was ambushed by the two ascended brothers and sealed directly into a magic sarcophagus they brought.

However, when Xerath was still a mortal, he was already an extremely powerful dark wizard. Combined with the divine power of an ascended being, he was almost invincible.

Xerath smashed the sarcophagus, leaving only some fragments and chains still imprisoning him. These restraints wrapped around Xerath, allowing him, who had completely turned into an energy body, to vaguely see the outline of a human figure.

Xerath fought bloody battles with the two brothers Nasus and Renekton, but was unable to defeat Xerath. In the end, Renekton decided to sacrifice himself and took Xerath into the Tomb of the Emperors of ancient Shurima, which possessed powerful magical energy.

Afterwards, in grief, Nasus followed his brother Renekton's wishes and cast a powerful sealing magic to seal Xerath and Renekton in the tomb together.

Noah followed the last few remaining strands of Azir's consciousness and watched the battle between the two god warriors and Xerath.

However, even if the culprit Xerath was sealed, it would not be able to prevent the fall of the entire great empire.

Because the power of ascension did not originally belong to Zerath, Zerath's actions also brought disastrous consequences. The protective measures of the power of the sun disk were destroyed under Zerath's actions, and the terrifying power poured directly outward.

In Azir's last remaining consciousness, he saw the terrified eyes of all the Shurima people who were watching him. He saw his wife protecting her child behind her in panic and despair. People were fleeing in panic, and their panicked footsteps made yellow sand fly among the crowd.

However, all this was in vain. The sun disc collapsed, and the terrifying sun fire directly swept everything around. The city was razed to the ground, and his relatives and people were all burned to ashes. The towering palace collapsed and fell, and the yellow sand surged and engulfed the entire city. The sun disc sank from the sky, and the long-standing powerful empire disappeared in an instant. Sun Disc Noah witnessed this scene and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Noah felt it was difficult to blame any one party for the fault that caused such a situation. It is true that Xerath's behavior was undoubtedly the key factor that led to the fall of Shurima's glorious civilization, but if we look at it from another perspective, if Azir could trust Xerath more and share his plan with him from the beginning, perhaps Xerath's knot could be untied, and he would have a chance to return to the right path.

However, the deep-rooted slavery system in ancient Shurima is the deep-seated reason behind this tragedy that cannot be ignored. This system not only deprived countless people of their freedom and dignity, but also planted the seeds of hatred and dissatisfaction in Xerath's heart, becoming the catalyst for his betrayal in the future.

Perhaps it was the residual emotions of Azir from Noah's perspective that made Noah feel a little sentimental when watching all this, but Noah quickly drove away the influence of this emotion.

After all, these are all things that happened in the League of Legends universe, and the people who died have nothing to do with him. Noah feels that he doesn't need to feel sad for these people.

What Noah cared more about was the ability of the sun disc he had just seen. Not only could it bestow powerful energy blessings and allow mortals to ascend to become gods, but also from the perspective of the energy it dissipated being able to directly cause the entire empire to fall and be buried in the yellow sand, if the energy of the sun disc could be used to attack, it would definitely be an incomparably powerful force.

The Sun Disc is the core symbol of ancient Shurima and the most important existence in the ascension ceremony. The power of the ascenders is the power of the sun bestowed by the Sun Disc.

The power of the sun is infused into the bodies of the blessed ascenders. As long as they can successfully withstand this power, they can obtain the supreme power of the ascenders. Of course, if they fail, they can only turn into ashes, or turn into twisted and dark monsters - Bakay, a monster similar to the darkborn who can only stay in dark corners.

The energy body form that Xerath transformed into after stealing the power of the sun god can be strictly speaking be considered a kind of Bakay (according to the designer), and not an ascender. Of course, although he is Bakay, most of the ascenders will not be Xerath's opponent.

The origin and essence of the Sun Disc is a miracle created by the original ancient Shurima and the Celestial Spirits. Of course, the Celestial Spirits definitely accounted for the vast majority of the credit.

The Protoss conspired to steal the knowledge and power about the sun belonging to the Star-Forging Dragon King, and shaped it into a Sun Disc, giving the Sun Disc the ability to draw the power of the sun from the heavens to the Rune Continent. These sun powers essentially belong to the Star-Forging Dragon King.

Therefore, the power of the ascenders actually comes from the power of the Star Forging Dragon King. Of course, for the most powerful Star Forging Dragon King, these powers bestowed on the ascenders are just a drop in the ocean, not even a drop in the ocean.
