Chapter 162: Zerath's Ambition and Relief

All the huge energy that originally belonged to the Ascendant was poured into Zerath's body.

Zerath's body should have been reduced to ashes under this huge energy.

And his body was indeed reduced to ashes.

However, with the dark sorcery he mastered and Xerath's amazing willpower, this power not only did not dissipate after his body's death, but instead condensed together!
His body was completely devoured, then reshaped into a shimmering vortex of arcane energy.

This is exactly the Xerath that the audience saw in the future! He was no longer a human, but a glowing body of energy!
——"What the hell!! Zeratul actually took action after all!!"

——"No, no! I don't understand. Hasn't he been pardoned by Azir and is no longer a slave?"

——"Alas, it still happened!"

——"Zeras deserves to die! The entire capital was destroyed by him!"

——"I'm afraid Azir will never know why Xerath took action until his death!"

——"This guy is really insidious. He even transferred Nasus and Renekton away!"

——"It's Azir's fault that he trusted him too much, otherwise if one of the two Ascendants was by his side, this could have been prevented!"

——"This is the biggest blow to Shurima since the Icathia incident!"

The plot twists and turns are beyond everyone's expectations!
The first thing that no one expected was that Azir would actually announce the abolition of slavery in the Shurima Empire at the last moment of the ascension ceremony, fulfilling the promise he made with Xerath in his youth.

The second thing no one expected was that after hearing that Azir had freed him from his slavery, Xerath still had the heart to take action!
He killed Azir with his own hands, the brother who fulfilled their agreement!
As the audience watched the scene show Xerath’s body destroyed, leaving only a ball of twisted energy, they felt a mixture of emotions.

Perhaps his heart has long been twisted just like his current appearance.

"In fact, the film began to lay the groundwork early on."

In the commentary column, the two senior directors saw deeper than the ordinary audience, and they actually noticed the changes of Xerath a long time ago. This was deliberately created in the film, in fact, to remind the audience and hint at everything that happened in the future!
"Zerath's original purpose was to improve his life."

"He used to live a precarious life, not knowing when he would die in the same painful way as his father."

"It was under this psychological effect that he found Azir!"

Jiang Wen held the microphone and explained to the camera. Although it was not explicitly stated in the video, all the viewers could guess that Xerath deliberately approached Azir.

His purpose from the beginning was not simple.

"Actually, at this moment, Xerath's behavior is reasonable, and we can all understand him."

Especially later, when the Royal Caravan was traveling, Xerath saved Azir from the assassin's dagger, and the audience also recognized his brotherhood with Azir.

And all that Xerath did was rewarded, and he became the person Azir trusted the most.

"But from then on, Zeratul began to change!"

"Because he has access to power!"

Power is a poison that changed this slave-born boy from the inside out! Azir was once an unpopular prince, and Xerath approached him just to live a rich life, which Azir could satisfy him at the time.

But when Azir became the only prince, when Azir became the heir to the Shurima Empire, as his most trusted assistant, Xerath came into contact with power, and he began to become greedy, and became dissatisfied with everything he had before!
Xerath took advantage of Azir's trust and did many unspeakable things, and in order to keep the secret, he killed many innocent people!

He learned dark magic and secretly used it to corrupt every fetus in the queen's belly, making it impossible for the queen to have a safe pregnancy. After that, he directly used magic to kill everyone in the palace!
From this moment on, the previous agreement became his excuse, and the only thing in Zeratul's heart was the ambition to seize power!

And in the end, when Azir announced the abolition of slavery in the Shurima Empire, Xerath was only one step away from his goal!
"In fact, when Xerath finally took action and pushed Azir off the altar of the sun, it already explained everything!"

"He is no longer a slave, but he still chooses to take action!"

"This shows that everything he did was not to abolish the slavery system in the Shurima Empire, but for himself and for his ambition!"

After Jiang Wen finished speaking, the audience also understood Zeratul's mental journey.

He even deceived himself. Xerath was deceiving himself. It was really for the slaves of Shurima!
In fact, he did it just for himself!

——"Sure enough, slaves don't hate slavery, they just hate that they are not slave owners!"

——"In the end, Azir was the only one who wanted to abolish slavery!"

——"It's such a pity! Without Xerath, Shurima would have reached another level of glory!"

——"It seems that Azir is a good emperor. He sincerely wants to free Xerath from slavery!"

——"Alas! Azir was only one step away from his goal, but was backstabbed by Xerath!"

This backstab meant death for Azir, but it was devastating to the Shurima Empire!

The war with the Icathia Void still took place on the border of the empire, but this time the disaster occurred in the capital of the empire!

The most prosperous city of the Shurima Empire was destroyed, the temple collapsed and the city was razed to the ground. Azir's people were also swallowed up by a sudden disaster. The desert roared and swallowed up the entire city, and even the sun disk fell in this disaster!
However, the most terrifying thing is the chain reaction caused by this disaster!

Some viewers have already vaguely guessed that even if the capital was destroyed, the huge Shurima Empire would not perish!

Cities can be rebuilt, even the sun disk can rise again.

But when the people who have lost their hearts are scattered, that is the real end!

……

But these were tragedies that happened later.

In the picture, Xerath is still using magical power to control the sun priests and continue to infuse them with astral power.

His conspiracy was successful and was revealed at this time. Upon learning of this, Nasus and Renekton hurried back to the capital.

But it was too late.
