Chapter 437 Capture Renekton First, Then Xerath

Ascended ones are not immortal beings. Darkspawn sealed in weapons are immortal. At least at the level of Runeterra, they cannot destroy the weapons that imprison their souls.

This is the bad taste of the previous Twilight Celestial Host, Maiisha.

Originally, with the help of the cross-blade Charikal forged by the Celestial Spirit, she could easily reverse the divine body of the ascended ones, turning them back into mortals, losing their immortal godhead, and thus being killed.

However, she taught humans how to use Chalikar to seal the souls of darkspawn into weapons, allowing them to endure thousands of years of torture.

Especially the Darkin sword demon Aatrox, who was not timid in the face of the previous Twilight Protoss and Pantheon's alliance on the battlefield, but was attacked by Maisha at the moment before the battle, and thousands of dead stars were destroyed. Gravity dragged it into the sword, and it was silent ever since.

The reason why Li Lin was able to bring Renekton back to his original shape with the blessing of the sun disk was mainly because he fell into madness and did not know how to use the power of ascension correctly.

For him, the current brilliance of the sun's disk was like a flame that stung his skin and soul, leaving him in constant pain.

Otherwise, Renekton, who had been playing "battle royale" with Xerath for thousands of years in the tomb, would never win and lose with Nasus.

After severely injuring the crocodile god warrior, he had very little time to regain his sanity. He did not know how to use the radiance of the sun disk to recover from his injuries, and without the help of Nasus, it would take at least several months for him to recover as before.

Li Lin used reinforced nano-ropes made of zero-element synthetic materials to tightly tie Renekton to death. As long as he did not transform into a god, he could not break free.

Coupled with the endurance of Nasus' debilitating magic, he was now a piece of fish waiting to be cut on the chopping board.

Nasus was preparing to drag Renekton back to Nashrame. Since the battle between him and his brothers a year ago destroyed most of the Nasramae library, it has not yet been rebuilt and the portal is not yet available.

He thought about calling Azir to send the Yellow Sand Legion to escort him, but Li Lin said that he could drag Renekton into the containment cabin inside the Tyrant Beast and directly determine the coordinates and send them back to the City of the Sun.

But before that, he still had something to do.

Nasus grabbed the unconscious Renekton and entered the mecha to wait. Li Lin drove the Tyrant Behemoth and locked his sights on the desert corridor between Nasramei and Zurita.

The followers Renekton attracted rested here, seeming to be planning an attack on Nasramei.

This was a group of extremely vicious desert bandits who tracked down Nasus in Renekton and killed their vastaya carnodon leader. The bandits were determined to follow the mad god, even if he had no intention of taking charge. military power.

They were the ones sent by Azir to find the emperor's emblem's henchmen.

Without Renekton's restraint, this group of originally bloodthirsty bandits relied on their status as followers of the Ascended to commit all kinds of crimes, including burning, killing, and looting. If they were left behind, they would only be a scourge.

As a series of more than a dozen quantum bombs shot straight into the sky, and landed on the yellow sand soon after, they accurately struck the robbers who were caught off guard, annihilating their flesh and blood in the world.

After dealing with the possible threats to ordinary people, Li Lin activated the Hex teleportation and crossed the arduous journey of two months through the Great Fortress in just a few seconds.

In order to avoid riots caused by the sudden appearance of the Tyrant Beast, the coordinates they transmitted were the area where Farajese was located in the "Endless Plains" in the southwest of the City of the Sun. It was a short distance away from the Imperial City, but it was not a serious problem.

Nasus dragged Renekton and walked out of the separated container. When he saw the Tyrant beast deformed and reassembled in just a few seconds, it transformed into a three-bit tank, and then entered full invisibility with optical camouflage. state, a flash of astonishment once again appeared in my heart.

Li Lin got off the mecha and came to him, "Grand Bachelor, are you okay?"

"Your talent is about to surpass that of one of the technical geniuses of our Shurima Empire." Nasus shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that he betrayed the empire in the end, and even secretly attacked and killed Horok, setting off an undercover conspiracy. The beginning of the American War.”

Li Lin was stunned. He didn't expect that the Darkin War was actually started by Nezuk's sneak attack and killing Horok, but this was not an important thing.

Horok is dead, and Nezuk's tomb is empty. It will be stolen by Ezreal, who comes out to look for his parents in the future, and obtains the key weapon for his future adventure - the bronze gauntlet.

However, now that Shurima has almost completed its unification, will Ezreal still have a chance to enter Nezuk's tomb?

I heard that the archaeological expedition team from Piltover University recently went out again, and Ezreal's parents might just be among them.

Li Lin is considering sending mechanical engineers and drones to follow them to prevent them from disappearing like they did in the original world line. Even so, it is estimated that it will probably not stop Ezreal's determination to go out for adventure.

But now is not the time to worry about such things.

Different from the coldness in Li Lin's impression, the City of the Sun is now considered the largest city in Shurima.

Hundreds of thousands of tribal people from various nomadic groups are stationed near the Oasis of Dawn, the source of the Water of Life, and the selected young adults will participate in training and join the army of the God-Emperor.

The best among them can become a member of the elite Golden Legion, and their clan and descendants will receive favorable treatment from the empire.

He followed Nasus all the way to the City of the Sun, and seemed to be aware of Renekton's aura. Countless grains of sand instantly formed 100 yellow sand warriors, who escorted the three people across the bridge and walked through the Golden Road.

Along the way, the buildings made of golden marble and gold were already filled with people. Most of them were the family members of the Golden Legion soldiers and were eligible to live in the city.

Azir was nowhere to be seen in the imperial palace at the end of the Golden Road. Ever since he obtained the ascended body and controlled the City of the Sun to rise from under the sea of ​​sand, he had almost never stayed in the palace for a single night.

He returned to the City of the Sun, where Sivir, who helped train the army, occasionally lived there.

But even with the presence of maids and guards, the sun disk above her head can still burn all evil, and the huge palace still looks "gloomy". She does not like this atmosphere, and prefers to be with Zhai Ha, whom she has recruited for the past year. The men of the Luo Mercenary Regiment stayed together.

Li Lin saw no sign of Sivir in the city, and she was not in Naslamei. She was probably training soldiers outside.

Under the leadership of the Yellow Sand Warrior, he and Nasus, who was dragging Renekton, arrived at the Altar of Ascension.

Azir was talking to a young woman dressed in the traditional white robes of the royal family.

Her skin is dark wheat color, with not a trace of fat on her body, which highlights her slim curves and has a certain sense of strength.

The woman has a curly hair that sticks upward, and there is a symmetrical ring floating behind her head that looks like it is guarding the base of a sun disk. It looks like it is driven by magic power.

While Azir was still arranging political affairs, Nasus briefly introduced the woman to Li Lin:

Her name is Nikita, and she is Azir's newly selected golden ambassador. She has the highest authority in the Shurima Empire and generally assists the emperor in resolving disputes between city-states within the empire's territory.

The Resurrection Ambassador Dat Paoa, who originally served as the Golden Ambassador, returned to the army at this time and led the Golden Legion to assist Nikita in regaining the lost territory.

Azir didn't take long. He quickly asked Nikita to retreat, and then walked to Li Lin and Nasus with a spear and scepter in hand.

"Water and shade, Your Majesty."

Li Lin crossed his arms and bowed slightly, and Nasus moved in unison with him.

"In the blink of an eye, we haven't seen each other for a year." Azir looked at Li Lin who had taken off his armor, the golden flames flickering in his eyes, and there was a hint of surprise in his tone, "You have changed beyond my imagination. ,"

"Thanks to your original teachings, otherwise I would have been stuck at the bottleneck for quite some time."

Azir waved his hand and said it was nothing.

Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Renekton, who was slowly waking up after being left behind by Nasus. His temperament suddenly changed, and the aura of a superior person was fully revealed.

"Grand Bachelor, you actually captured your brother?"

But what surprised Azir was that Nasus denied this statement: "No, Your Majesty."

He lowered his head sideways and glanced at Li Lin, "To be precise, it was Li Lin who helped me defeat Renekton, and he was the main force."

"Huh?!" Azir made a surprised nasal sound, "You can actually do it to this extent?"

He did notice the earth-shaking changes in Li Lin, especially the clothes he wore, which were not ordinary.

Azir knew Renekton too well. This crocodile god was once the right-hand man of the Shurima royal family. One guarded the Imperial Library, and the other trained soldiers outside the City of the Sun.

No matter what, Renekton was once called the "Desert Butcher" by his enemies. Even if he went crazy, he could not guarantee that he would not be injured even if he helped Nasus.

Azir narrowed his eyes and looked at Renekton, sensing his dying vitality, and couldn't help but feel even more shocked.

This is definitely not something Nasus can do, which means...

"How did you do it?" Azir couldn't help but ask, "Of course, if you don't want to answer, I won't force you."

"There is nothing to hide." Li Lin said, "I imitated Malphite and built a new large-scale mecha named Tyrant Mecha Behemoth. It was through him that I cooperated with the Grand Master to defeat Renekton.”

"To be precise, the Tyrant Beast is almost twice the size of Malphite." In order to give the God Emperor a more intuitive picture, Nasus added, "It easily subdued Renekton and beat him. He had no power to fight back."

A mechanical creation that is bigger than Malphite and can rival the gods...

Even Azir was stunned for a moment, the magic light in his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Without the help of the Grand Maester, I wouldn't have been able to defeat Renekton so easily." Li Lin said modestly.

After a while, Azir took a deep breath and said, "Is this the second mecha you've built?"

Li Lin nodded, "Facing the threat of the void, it's impossible not to have the ability to protect yourself."

Azir fell into a brief silence again.

"But if you want to use it to deal with the void, I'm afraid it's not enough." Nasus interjected.

"There is no way, time is urgent, I have to do this." Li Lin stopped his relaxed expression and his tone became serious, "Piltover and Zaun are facing the threat of the void, and there are only more than seven months left. ”

"What do you mean?" Azir didn't understand. "Why is there the threat of the void?"

As a former border trade war of the Shurima Empire, Zaun was not affected by the Void at all. Moreover, if the Void reached there, it would have to pass through the eastern end of the Shurima continent or Ixtal and the Kumangu Rainforest. He should not It’s better not to know.

Upon hearing Azir's tone, Li Lin realized that Malphite didn't even mention to them the void vines traveling underground and the source of the city of Belvis.

He complained in his heart that Malphite was a very smart man. He sighed silently and quickly told Azir and Nasus the general outline of the matter.

From the time he met Malphite cleaning up the manta rays underground, to the time he removed Kaisha's living void skin, and then was threatened by Belvis, who called herself the "Queen of the Void", only one year was left.

After listening to this, Azir and Nasus realized the seriousness of the matter and didn't even care that Li Lin had actually eliminated the void.

But soon, they ran into trouble again.

Judging from Malphite's description, Belvis is likely to have the power to crush the Celestial Warriors.

With only Azir and Nasus supporting the current situation, even with the addition of the smart lava beast, it is estimated that there is no way to defeat Belvis.

Li Lin noticed their solemn moods and made another suggestion that surprised them: "We have captured Renekton. Now we only need to capture Xerath, so that we can focus on solving the problem of the void."
