Chapter 147 Nasus and Renekton, Ascension Ceremony (Part )
However, the next scene in the film quickly answered the audience's doubts.
After obtaining permission from the War Queen Setaka, the ascension ceremony for Nasus was quickly arranged.
On this day, the people of the entire capital came to the sun disk to witness the birth of another great Ascendant, and Renekton was standing among them. He was also extremely proud of his brother.
However, the worrying thing finally happened!
Nasus had been tortured by the relentless disease, his muscles had atrophied and his bones were brittle. He was so weak that at the last moment when the sun disk shone down golden light on the altar, Nasus was unable to climb the last step and walk into the light.
Failure to enter the altar means that the ritual is not completed, and Nasus cannot become an ascended being!
This was something no one expected!
But at this moment, even the War Queen Setaka, the strongest among the Ascendants, could not come forward to help Nasus!
Because this is an ascension ceremony dedicated to Nasus, the purpose is to bless his body with the power of the stars through the sun disc! No one else can complete this ceremony on Nasus' behalf!
Even the god warriors cannot accept another astral force!
People in the entire capital were anxiously looking at Nasus's thin figure on the steps. Even the Emperor of Shurima was praying for this beloved general, hoping that he could stand up and walk into the Altar of the Sun!
Even the audience in front of the screen was very nervous. Although everyone knew that Nasus had successfully completed the Ascension Ceremony and became an Ascended One, they were still extremely anxious when they saw the fragile Nasus endure the pain and climb up the stairs again and again, but fell down again and again!
Everyone's eyes were focused on Nasus, anticipating the moment when he would become an Ascended One. However, as time passed, Nasus was still a little bit away from the Altar of the Sun!
At this time, the sun is about to set, the moon is about to rise, the day is about to turn into night, and without sunlight, the ascension ceremony will also be over.
Just when people thought that Nasus' ascension was about to fail, a figure rushed out from the crowd.
It's Renekton!
He rushed to the stairs, picked up his brother, and climbed the last flight of stairs!
——“So that’s how it is!!!”
Renekton's love for his brother outweighs any sense of self-preservation.
——"The affection between these two brothers is truly touching!"
——"Oh, it makes my eyes tear up!"
——"So this is how Renekton became an Ascended One!"
Everyone was shocked by Renekton's behavior!
The Emperor of Shurima did not anticipate Renekton's behavior, and did not even have time to stop him!
Before this, there had never been two people entering the Altar of the Sun together!
Because the ascension ceremony is to bless mortals with the power of the astral world through the sun disc, and only the chosen ones can become ascenders!
The chosen one this time was Nasus, not Renekton! Even the Shurimans watching in the capital knew that Renekton would be burned and annihilated by the power of the astral plane.
Nasus was also very clear that if his brother entered the Altar of the Sun with him, he would become an Ascended One, but Renekton would also disappear in this power.
However, he was too weak to stop Renekton, and could only watch as the light from the sky descended and buried him and Renekton together! Renekton stood in the light, bathing in the power of the stars with his brother, waiting to be obliterated and destroyed. After all, he was just a warrior, and he knew that what Shurima needed in the years to come was Nasus.
People in the entire capital held their breath, quietly waiting for the final result!
However, as the light faded, Renekton was not destroyed by the Holy Light as everyone expected. In the dazzling light of the sun disk, the two brothers were reborn. When the light faded, two great Ascendants appeared in front of people at the same time.
Not only did both brothers survive, but they also thrived. After ascending, Nasus became a tall, burly, dog-headed, human-like being, the embodiment of wisdom and strength, while Renekton became a massive, muscular beast with crocodile features. Jackals are often considered the smartest and most resourceful beasts, while the ferocity and fearlessness of crocodiles perfectly fit Renekton's character.
……
“Although I know the final result, I still worry about these two brothers!”
In the commentary booth, Jiang Wen expressed what all the audience were feeling at the moment!
Nasus’ rebirth is certainly something to be celebrated, but what is most touching in this process is Renekton’s feelings for his brother!
Everyone thought that Renekton would disappear in the Altar of the Sun, even Renekton thought so! But he still rushed forward without hesitation, leading Nasus to walk the last flight of stairs!
Their deeds even touched the Ascension Queen Setaka, and two Ascendants appeared in one Ascension Ceremony! This had never happened before!
However, after learning the specific process, even those extraordinary god-warriors recognized Renekton, the accidentally born Ascendant.
In the eyes of the people of Shurima, it was Renekton's courage to sacrifice himself for his brother that won the recognition of the astral realm, so the power of ascension he obtained was well-deserved!
In short, through this ascension ceremony, both Nasus and Renekton were reborn!
As for Renekton, the unexpected power of ascension is even more useful to him! The god warriors are the indestructible weapons of the Shurima Empire on the battlefield!
Already a great war hero, Renekton now possesses powers beyond mortal comprehension. He has led the armies of Shurima to many bloody victories, showing no mercy or accepting mercy from his enemies. His legend spread far beyond the empire, and his enemies called him the "Butcher of the Desert," a title he favored.
The new body forged by the power of the astral world also freed Nasus from the pain of illness. Although he was also given power beyond the comprehension of mortals, for Nasus, who disliked war, the most important thing about ascension was that it gave him a long life, allowing him to spend endless time on studying and philosophical meditation.
However, Nasus did not expect that this would eventually become his most vicious curse.
However, for Nasus at this time, his biggest worry still came from his brother Renekton.
Ascension granted Renekton great strength and enhanced his talent in combat, but Nasus saw a growing bestiality in Renekton.
