Chapter 163 Chaos will follow
While all these disasters were happening, Nasus and Renekton were thousands of miles away, subduing the fire beast in the magical sarcophagus.

But when they rushed back to the capital, they saw the once glorious city reduced to ruins.

The divine power of the sun disk has dissipated and it is gradually collapsing.

At the center of this devastation, amid the corpses of countless Shuriman civilians, they found Xerath - the man who betrayed Azir, now twisted into a malevolent being of pure energy.

Renekton and Nasus quickly rushed to the center of the magical storm.

They also brought the magic sarcophagus that sealed the eternal flame beast. The two ascenders came to the ascension altar with difficulty, and at this time, Zerath just fell out of the deadly glare.

The newly born ascended witch spirit had no time to react before the two brothers threw it into the sarcophagus, and then sealed it again with enchanted chains and powerful confinement spells.

The audience who saw this scene were all looking forward to whether Xerath could be completely sealed up, but soon everyone realized that something was not right.

Nasus and Renekton are still on guard. This magical sarcophagus that can seal spiritual beasts cannot withstand the power of Xerath!
Xerath's power as a mortal was so great - combined with the power of the Ascended - that he was nearly invincible. He shattered the sarcophagus, leaving only the fragments and chains that still bound him.

Renekton and Nasus rushed towards Xerath, but Xerath used his newfound power to fight against these two veteran Ascendants, and the battle ended in a stalemate.

The cities around them were still collapsing, and those that had not yet been buried by the sand were being ravaged by the battle.

Watching the battle, they were unable to do anything to Xerath. The two brothers, who had worked together for thousands of years, cooperated tacitly. While fighting, they led Xerath to the Tomb of the Emperor.

This is Shurima's greatest tomb, a chamber whose locks and guards are impenetrable, commanded only by the blood of the Emperor.

Perhaps out of rage, or perhaps to make up for the mistake he made to Nashrameh, Renekton captured Xerath and plunged headfirst into the Tomb of the Kings below the city, then shouted to Nasus and sealed the door of the secret room.

Nasus refused, desperately searching for another solution, but he had no choice. He finally did so with a heavy heart, knowing it was the only way to prevent Xerath's escape.

Renekton and Xerath fell into eternal darkness, where they were deadlocked, trapped in an endless struggle.

And outside, the once great Shurima civilization fell.

……

——"Huh! So that's how the chains and stone flakes on Zeratul's body came from!"

——"Haha, it's ironic to say that this magic sarcophagus originated from Zerath's conspiracy."

——"Oh! What a pity! Why didn't they lock him up?"

——"I didn't expect Xerath to be so strong! He was able to block the attacks of Nasus and Renekton by himself!"

——"The main reason is that Nasus is still a civil servant, right? His martial arts may not be as strong as Renekton!"

——"If it's an Ascendant like Aatrox or Setaka, that would be great! Any one of them can subdue Xerath!"

The fierce battle made the audience dizzy, and at this time the truth of Shurima thousands of years ago was officially revealed! Azir was killed by his trusted brother on the eve of his ascension, and although Xerath ascended, he lost his human appearance forever.

Although the other Ascended Ones have animal forms, they are still based on human prototypes. However, Xerath has completely turned into a ball of energy, with chains and sarcophagus fragments left by Nasus' seal on his body.

Renekton sacrificed himself, captured Xerath, and was imprisoned together in the Tomb of the Kings in Shurima.

Inside, Xerath and Renekton continued their battle, hunting each other for unknown centuries in the dark depths.

And on the ground, the once glorious and great Shurima civilization has turned to dust.

This is actually another doubt in the minds of the audience. Even if Azir died and the capital of the Shurima Empire was destroyed, they still retained the Ascended.

They are still the most powerful empire in the world. With the protection of these god-warriors, how could Shurima be destroyed?

It was in the dark tomb that Xerath taunted Renekton, whispering evil words into his ears.

The disaster caused by Xerath is not over, but is still continuing!

The Sun Disc collapsed, drained of its power by Xerath's sorcery, and all the remaining god-warriors felt their immortal hearts missing the Sun Disc's light. The holy waters that flowed from the city's oasis dried up, and Shurima fell into death and famine.

However, the former patron saints of Shurima, the Ascended Ones, did not continue to protect their country!

Although the god-warriors were immortal, they still had human hearts. Therefore, without the kingship they swore to defend, the threat of the void was no longer urgent, and many surviving Ascendants' former petty ambitions resurfaced and began to waver. They learned forbidden sorcery and gradually felt that they were the most reasonable heirs to this world.

What happened next was predictable, as these former brothers began to fight each other, which eventually turned into a war that destroyed their world.

The displaced mortals called the new tyrants Darkin, which in ancient tongue roughly meant a cryptic curse: the Fallen.

Thus, countless wars broke out on this once glorious land!
The Darkborn think they are gods, disregarding the lives of mortals and killing them wantonly! Mortals call them Darkborn, but they are forced to rely on the rule of the Darkborn in order to survive.

They are the equivalent of warlords on the land of Shurima, and they began to fight each other. Now, no one can tell whether this is due to the corruption of the Void or their own ambitions.

The real destruction of Shurima was not at the hands of Xerath.

Instead, it was destroyed at the hands of the ascender.

Everything that happened in the film aroused endless emotion among the audience.

The civilization that once ruled the entire world came to an end just like that, ended at the hands of the Ascended Ones who once swore to protect it, and now they have lost the noble title of God Warriors, and are called Darkspawn!

Hundreds of years of war have left this land scarred. The mortals under the Darkin's command do not have as long a lifespan as theirs. As time goes by, gradually no one remembers that they were once called God-Warriors.

Except themselves!
