Chapter 472: The Fall of Shurima
"To be honest, I was really scared."
Li Ke looked at the energy furnace in front of him that kept emitting electric light in silence. According to his perception, this energy furnace would have to run for at least ten years before it could stop.
Moreover, the energy released now is more than enough to meet Piltover's energy needs.
Although the magic ore that Nasus just put in was rare, it was not impossible to produce artificially. By using the world runes and absorbing electricity for one night, he was able to make one or two hundred pieces of ordinary ore.
And as Nasus said, this thing can even burn stones when necessary. Ordinary stones just lack power.
This can no longer be described as efficient, but rather terrifying.
"So I am even more confused about how Shurima was destroyed..."
Li Ke swallowed silently. This was no longer something as simple as a fusion furnace. This was completely about converting matter into energy.
Not only can it release all the power of matter, but it can also directly change the converted energy. Electricity, magic power, and even some unconventional energy, this energy core can convert all of them.
Li Ke felt that the destruction of Shurima made no sense at all.
This thing is just the remnant of Shurima. No one knows how powerful Shurima was back then and how much black technology it possessed.
"Hundreds of Ascended Ones fought against each other using this weapon. In fact, after the death of Queen Setaka, it was difficult for Shurima to command those Ascended Ones who had suffered great mental trauma. Naturally, the speed at which we developed technology also slowed down. At first, we thought that Azir would be the emperor who would lead the Ascended Empire to glory again. Everyone hoped that his ascension would be successful. Unfortunately, his arrogance destroyed everything. That shameful betrayer extinguished the last hope of the Ascended Empire. If you hadn't told me about the existence of Sivir, I wouldn't even know that the Ascended bloodline still existed in this world."
Nasus sighed with great regret. When the Darkin were fighting among themselves, hundreds or thousands of Darkin formed armies and fought against each other, turning the already broken Shurima into a wasteland and even changing the original terrain of Shurima a lot.
It was at that time that countless Shuriman technologies were wasted, making the situation of the empire even worse. After the Darkin War, not many people would even use the energy core that they used as a substitute for the sun disc.
Those mortals only saw that these energy cores had enormous power and that anyone who tried to activate them would die, so they thought they were instruments of death, and so they placed the dead here to allow the power of resentment to enter these energy cores.
To be honest, if the great craftsmen back then saw this scene, they would probably be so excited that they would shout for the city lord to purge the people in charge here, or simply massacre the city.
"This is another reason why I gave up. The country led by the Ascendants has failed once. I no longer trust this kind of country that is completely ruled by the 'God' in the eyes of ordinary people, especially when this country has the ability to create gods."
There was a hidden meaning in Nasus' words. Li Ke's thoughts and arrangements were not difficult to guess. Everything he did did not seem like he was going to rule the world himself, but he was indeed on the road to ruling the world.
Nasus, who had just come out of his decadent state, could see what Li Ke was thinking, so he directly turned to Li Ke.
Perhaps the Ascended Empire will appear one day, but not now.
Now, there are better options.
"You... Everyone says stupid dog, stupid dog, but it turns out you are a wolf."
Li Ke finally understood Nasus's thoughts.
He just wanted to preserve his strength, but he did not intend to dissuade Azir personally, because as a subject, he could not persuade his emperor not to revive the empire, even if this was indeed a dead end.
So, he just attacked his fleet and came straight to him.
Li Ke also has a good relationship with Nasus. Strictly speaking, Nasus saved him, so he could avoid being beaten to death while offending him, and he could even find a way to convince himself.
"I've said this many times."
Nasus sighed helplessly.
"I'm a jackal, not a dog. It's fine if you call me a dog at ordinary times. Dogs are loyal animals. I actually like this title very much. But when we are outside, please call me the Desert Death."
He was really helpless, but after thinking about it, he couldn't say anything to Li Ke, because even many young people in Shurima regarded jackals as dogs.
"Understand, understand. I have to give you face. I know that."
Li Ke nodded, but Nasus felt that this bastard definitely didn't understand.
"By the way, what's Sivir's opinion?"
He suddenly thought of this problem. It was quite politically incorrect to decide someone else's life-long affairs regardless of Xiweier's will!
How could Nasus, a guy who is so politically correct, do such a thing!
"Is it important?"
Nasus answered casually.
"If she was the only one with ascended blood in the world, then she would undoubtedly be the Queen of Shurima, my master, but now..."
Nasus looked at a golden figure walking towards him from behind.
"…She's just a princess."
Things cannot be calculated in this way , because the ascenders have lost the ability to reproduce, so the power of ascension that Nasus promised was actually intended to be given to Li Ke and Sivir after they gave birth to a child. It can be said that he wanted to take advantage of Li Ke for free for a long time.
In addition, the power of ascension was obtained through the sun disc, so he could be said to be getting it for free.
Dog head.
Free of charge!
"Nasus, is this the one you are talking about, the one who wants to rule the entire world, the undisputed strongest person of this era?"
The golden figure pointed at Li Ke, and Nasus knelt on one knee, lowered his head, revealing his baldness.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is the strongest person of this era."
Azir looked at Li Ke, feeling the power in Li Ke, was silent for a while, and asked the question he wanted to know most.
"Will you serve Shurima? I can give you an equal position with me."
He was asking sincerely.
"What do you think?"
Li Ke also raised his fist sincerely. If this birdman said something rude, he would use his fist to perform a three-punch-a-pig show on the other party.
Just three punches can create a pig head!
