After entering the city, Zuo Chi and Varus sat on the roof of a building, looking at everything in front of them with interest.
"Is this the perfect ascension form?"
Although Zuo Chi knew that Nasus was very powerful and his ascended body was very powerful, after witnessing it with his own eyes up close today, Zuo Chi couldn't help but be shocked.
Not to mention anything else, the huge body of twenty or thirty meters high alone is enough to create a visual impact.
Beside Zuo Chi, Varus was also looking at Nasus in front of him, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Nasus also contained a hint of envy.
Once upon a time, he was like this, brilliant and majestic, bright and sacred.
Now, he was just a darkspawn.
Zuo Chi and Varus witnessed almost the entire second half of the battle between Nasus and Monila. When the golden blade wheel lit up in Nasus's hand, Varus suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Nasus' hand, and whispered:
"Zuo Chi, don't you want to know how to completely kill a Darkin? That's the answer!"
"Hmm?" Zuo Chi moved slightly and looked at Nasus' hand in the direction Varus pointed.
There, Zuo Chi saw a weapon that was extremely familiar to him, it was a cross-shaped blade wheel!
As a shooter player in his previous life, Zuo Chi was very familiar with this flywheel-like weapon.
At this time, Varus continued to ask: "Zuo Chi, do you know the origin of the ancient Shurima Empire?"
You know what, Zuo Chi really understands!
About 4,600 years ago, the Ascended Queen Setaka obtained power from the top of the Targon Peak. The Targon clan helped Setaka build a strange building in the Shurima Desert that could draw the power of the sun for her own use - the Sun Disk.
The sun disc can draw the power of the sun and infuse it into mortals, allowing mortals who obtain the power of the sun to achieve ascension and gain the power of the gods!
Setaka and Aatrox were the earliest group of ascended gods. At the same time, Setaka's ascended power was the most perfect and abundant. She was the most powerful ascender, even stronger than Aatrox.
With the help of the Sun Disc and the Ascended God, Setaka established the Ancient Shurima Empire that spanned the Shurima continent, and began to expand its territory at a rapid pace, making Ancient Shurima the most powerful empire in the entire Runeterra.
If it weren't for Icathia's later summoning of the Void, perhaps Shurima would have dominated the entire Runeterra in an unstoppable manner.
As for Setaka, the founding queen of the ancient Shurima Empire, she is undoubtedly the absolute faith in the hearts of all ascended gods.
Even when Zuo Chi first met Aatrox, he heard him mention the ascended martial queen Setaka. If Setaka could make even the ambitious Aatrox submit to her, how powerful would she be?
However, Zuo Chi was somewhat confused as to what the relationship was between Empress Wu Setaka and their current talk of completely killing the Darkin.
Seeing that Zuo Chi actually knew the origin of ancient Shurima, the surprise in Varus' eyes deepened.
He suppressed the contempt in his eyes and said very seriously:
"Since you know about Queen Setaka, do you know what weapon she uses?"
"Weapons?" Zuo Chi asked back, "That wheel?"
Varus looked into the distance and said slowly:
"When the Queen established the Shurima Empire, she went to the top of Mount Targon and brought back an extremely powerful weapon. Its name is - Charikar!"
"Charikar contains an extremely powerful force. It is a true divine weapon. Queen Setaka used it to kill countless powerful enemies and laid the foundation for the establishment of the Shurima Empire."
"Charikar!?" This time, the look in Zuo Chi's eyes suddenly became extremely wonderful.
As if not noticing Zuo Chi's expression, Varus continued, "Charikar has another most powerful characteristic, which is also the key to Queen Setaka's ability to command the Ascended Gods."
"It has unparalleled lethality to all ascended gods, and it also has the ability to plunder the power of ascension. Charikar is the key given by Mount Targon to Queen Setaka to control the Ascended Legion. With it, no one can make any waves."
"If we want to kill Zolani, Charikar is undoubtedly the best choice!"
Zuo Chi tilted his head and looked at Varus, muttering suspiciously:
"So, Sivir's weapon has such a great origin? But why do I feel that this weapon is no different from scrap metal in her hands?"
Varus: “???”
145. Chapter 145 Only I know this secret!
After hearing Zuo Chi's inexplicable words, Varus felt completely confused.
After hearing what Zuo Chi said, it seemed like he had known about Charikar for a long time?
Does this guy really know everything?
However, when Zuo Chi faced Varus' gaze, he did not say anything, because Nasus, who had just killed Monira, was already walking towards them.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Nasus's huge body, which was about twenty or thirty meters tall, slowly approached, and the place where Zuo Chi and Varus were was completely covered in shadow.
At this time, Nasus was looking down at Zuo Chi and Varus beside him.
He had just been angered by a Darkin and killed him, but another Darkin appeared immediately, which made Nasus think too much for no reason.
However, when Nasus's gaze rested on Zuo Chi, his eyes trembled.
'Neither an Ascended nor a Bakai,' Nasus thought.
This was the first time Nasus had seen the incomplete power of ascension.
In previous ascension ceremonies, there were generally only two possible outcomes: success or failure. No one had ever encountered the situation that the person before him was experiencing.
Those who can successfully accept the power of ascension will ascend both physically and spiritually, thus becoming the ascended gods in the eyes of the people of Shurima.
But not everyone who takes part in the ascension ceremony will succeed in ascending. Those who fail in the ascension ceremony, except for those unlucky ones who are directly blasted into pieces by the power of ascension, the other losers will turn into a very strange and twisted creature.
Although the ascenders will also gain animal-like appearance, the appearance of the losers is more hideous and terrifying.
They will also gain powerful strength, but at the same time, their personalities will be greatly affected, becoming violent, distorted and extremely lethal.
Those who failed to ascend were called Bake!
Generally, after failing to ascension, the Bakei will choose to live in seclusion and seal themselves somewhere because of their love for Shurima and the people of Shurima.
For example, in the ancient tombs in the Shurima Desert, many of them contain Bakay, and the same is true in the imperial tombs that sealed Xerath and Renekton.
"Vellus, why are you here?"
At this time, Nasus asked first, and his eyes were full of vigilance when he looked at Zuo Chi and Varus.
Someone with partial ascension power actually got together with a Darkin?
Varus looked at the giant Nasus in front of him without any concern:
"I just came to see who will die between you and Moniera. It seems that Moniera, this loser, has not made any progress in thousands of years."
Varus did not have the slightest good expression towards the person in front of him. After all, in Varus's opinion, it was the weakness of Nasus and his brother Renekton that accelerated the demise of the Shurima Empire!
Nasus snorted coldly: "I am not dead, which disappoints you."
Varus waved his hand and did not continue to dwell on these meaningless topics. He looked up at Nasus:
"Nasus, is Charikar really in your hands?"
Nasus shook his head. “No, it was only a trace of Charikar’s remaining power. I gave Charikar to Ta’anari thousands of years ago. You should know that.”
Upon hearing this, Varus nodded slightly. He knew that what Nasus said was true.
Thousands of years ago, in the late stages of the First Darkin War, a Darkin who still had a conscience was deceived by his maid and wanted to end the Darkin War. The name of this Darkin was Ta'anari, and his maid was the previous generation of Twilight Protoss - Maesa!
On that day, Ta'anari took Charikar from Nasus and sent an invitation to all the darkspawn in the world.
Many Darkin accepted Ta'anari's invitation and went to Naerimajie in Shurima, including some extremely powerful Darkin.
For example, there was Sebotaru, the Darkin who had the greatest chance of ending the Darkin War and whose strength was comparable to that of Aatrox and his legion!
And just when all the Darkin gathered, Ta'anari suddenly took out Charikar, and using Charikar as a possession, he used the spell taught to him by the Twilight Astral to summon the ultimate forbidden spell that was enough to annihilate any Darkin - Moonfire Falls!
Under the powerful force of the Moonfire Falls, almost all the Darkin present died. Only three of them managed to avoid the Moonfire Falls and escaped to an unknown place.
This meeting caused the number of Darkin to drop drastically in an instant. Only the three Darkin who barely escaped and the Darkin who did not accept the invitation, such as Aatrox, survived.
Therefore, this gathering was also called:
Twilight of the Gods!
It is worth mentioning that Maisha used Tayanali's conscience to kill other darkspawn, but afterwards stabbed Tayanali's heart with Charikar.
All I can say is that there is a reason why Aatrox and a group of Darkin hate the Twilight Aspects.
Later, Charikar was taught by Myesa to a group of human craftsmen, and based on this, they developed a method to seal the Darkin into their own weapons. As for where Charikar went later, Varus had no idea.
Now that he heard Nasus say that he didn't know the location of Charikar, Varus believed it.
"Vareus, why do you want Charikar?" Nasus suddenly asked Varus.
Although Nasus could sense that Varus was unfriendly towards him, for some reasons he still wanted to ask for information about Charikar.
Varus glanced at Nasus and said calmly: "I will use it to kill Zolani!"
"Oh? You fought with Zolani?"
This time, there was a flash of obvious surprise in Nasus' eyes.
As he spoke, Nasus turned his gaze to Anaca, who was carried on Zuo Chi's shoulder.
"It seems that you are not doing very well. I'm sorry that I can't provide you with any information related to Charikar."
At this moment, Zuo Chi suddenly grabbed Varus who was about to continue taunting Nasus. He smiled at Nasus:
“Nasus, since you don’t know Charikar’s whereabouts, we won’t stay any longer. Varus and I have some things to do, so we’ll leave first.”
After saying this, Zuo Chi pulled Varus up and quickly fled towards the outside of Nashrameh City.
Just as Zuo Chi's body flew out, Nasus' last words sounded behind him.
"I hope you take care of yourself. If possible, please come to the Shurima capital for a chat. Now that the Sun Disc has been rebuilt, perhaps His Majesty Azir can help you regain your power of ascension."
Shurima is now in a state of disrepair and needs talents, so Nasus invited Zuo Chi.
In Nasus' opinion, Zuo Chi must be extremely powerful to be able to walk side by side with arrogant Darkin like Varus. Coupled with the power of ascension in his body, perhaps he can really be used by Shurima.
"."
Zuo Chi did not answer, but disappeared from Nasus's sight without looking back.
Watching Zuo Chi and Varus leave, Nasus's figure gradually shrank and returned to a height of more than two meters.
