Legends of Runeterra

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

Like a chain reaction, crisp shattering sounds rang out one after another, and countless irregular cracks appeared on the surface of Nasus' soul.

Even the soul of an ascender, which is enduring double the soul-tearing from others of the same status, has reached its limit at this moment.

"Sure enough, it's still a little off!"

Li En watched the situation without any surprise in his eyes.

When Li En finished reading the plan Azir gave him, he realized how unconventional this plan was.

From climbing the Stairway to the official start of soul reconstruction, Li En had been constantly reminding Nasus indirectly.

But strictly speaking, whether it is Li En or even Azir, they are always outsiders in this matter.

The real and only qualified Nasus has long been determined to die if he fails.

In this regard, Li En also recognized Nasus's will and used all his strength to control the "power of ascension" to perform the ceremony.

However, at this moment, although Li En perfectly met the requirements of the plan, Nasus' soul had reached its limit, and even his consciousness had completely dissipated, leaving only the instinct of the soul still persisting.

"Oh~!"

Li En sighed softly and turned to look beside him.

"Ms. Soraka, is it okay for me to use the 'Power of Creation' here?"

"Of course, Li En, although the 'Sun Disc' is the power to guide the infinitely degraded existence, countless similar buildings have been erected on countless life planets over the years.

Every time they summon this power, it is actually just a response from an 'energy pool' made up of super-large galaxies. They will not focus on such things. "

Facing Li En's gaze, the figure outlined by the starlight showed a gentle smile.

That's right, as early as when Azir made this request, during that short period of consideration, Li En contacted Soraka who was far away in Mount Targon.

The so-called 'power of ascension' actually comes from the infinitely degraded power of the Star-Forging Dragon King. Although Li En knew from a fleeting glimpse of this being that he could not restore the 'power of ascension' to that kind of power anyway.

Back then, he used the 'void', which is now Belvis, to forcibly plunder the 'dark power' of Varus, and then used a tricky method to infinitely purify that 'energy'. In essence, it is far inferior to the power of that existence, even greater than the difference between dust and a planet.

The "power of star creation" in Li En actually comes from the "seed" bestowed by that existence.

But Li En would not underestimate the 'power of ascension', or the 'ascension ritual' that could summon this power, especially since he had the 'power of star creation' in him, so he contacted Soraka specifically.

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

"You're welcome, Lee En."

Soraka nodded slightly, walked up to Li En, stretched out her hands and gently held Li En's cheeks.

The palm that was originally outlined by the starlight now has the touch and temperature of a real palm.

“I understand your concerns, but please go ahead and do what you want to do.

Leave the matters outside this world to me."

Having said that, before Li En could answer, Soraka gently stood on tiptoes and kissed Li En lightly on the forehead.

"Om~!"

The starlight surged, outlining a constellation on Li En's forehead, and then quietly disappeared.

"this..."

Li En touched his forehead, feeling a little surprised and dazed.

Although he was such a gentle presence, Li En felt an irresistible dominance at that moment.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

A crisp shattering sound was heard, awakening Li En, who was subconsciously trying to find out what tricks Soraka had left behind.

Looking up, Nasus, whose soul was constantly shattering, had now begun to disintegrate from his legs.

"I'm sorry Nasus."

Lee En quickly raised his hand, apologizing softly.

"Buzz~~!!"

Like the stars pouring down on a summer night, the brilliant, dreamy, and incredible dream power emerged from Li En's palm and fell towards the souls of Nasus and Renekton.

...

"Rekton, you're going to fight again!?"

"Brother, I..."

"You are so brave and aggressive. One day you will meet someone stronger and more ruthless than you. By then..."

"But... they insulted you..."

"... ...

It's okay, brother, protecting yourself is the most important thing, understand?"

"...Know...Know."

...

"Brother, I'm back!"

"It's good to be back, brother. With the accumulated merits this time, you can also lead an army on your own."

"Hehe~! But I don't want to be a general. I just want to be a vanguard here."

"Stupid, if you don't want to be the general's vanguard, you are not a good vanguard!"

"But... okay, I get it."

...

"Big...brother..."

“Ahem! Brother…brother!?”

"It's me... Come... Give me your hand... I'll... carry you up!"

"Ahem! Go...go...you...you will die..."

"I'm sorry...Brother...this time...I can't listen to you..."

...

"Buzz~~!!"

The gift from the Supreme Being outside the world, the 'Power of Star Creation' which in essence surpasses the 'Power of Ascension' countless times, demonstrated its incomparable power.

The shattered soul recovered as if time had gone backwards. Within a few breaths, Nasus's soul, which was about to collapse and disintegrate, became complete and stable again.

Nasus's face, which had been distorted with pain, now turned into a calm and peaceful expression, as if he had fallen asleep.

A brilliant and dreamy power enveloped the surface of Nasus' soul. Endless "power of ascension" still fell on his soul, but now it could no longer destroy and crush his soul like before, and it couldn't even shake it.

Opposite him, Renekton's twisted soul gradually returned to its true appearance, and a faint golden light and a blue-purple color that replaced the dark magic appeared in his soul.

...

"Brother, listen to me, someone must drag Zerath along to seal him up!!"

"Okay, brother, then..."

"Boom~!"

With an unexpected punch, Nasus rolled over and smashed several ruins of buildings before he stopped.

"Brother, activate the tomb seal!!"

When Nasus looked up again, he saw the back of Renekton rushing into the tomb holding the witch elf surrounded by the broken sarcophagus.

...

"Rekton!!!"

Nasus suddenly opened his eyes and called out his brother's name with all his strength.

"It's so noisy, brother. I'm almost deaf."

The humanoid crocodile-like soul covered with emerald green and ochre scales gave Nasus a hideous and joyful smile.
