Transforming American comics starts with a leap of faith

Chapter 187 Revenge From the Past

At the end of the battle, Dante also returned to his human form, holding Xerath's real body in both hands, listening to him.

His eyes didn't blink, he was concentrating on it, maybe he still shook it, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

At the beginning, there was still a bit of wailing, but it completely dissipated after a while.

That was probably Xerath's heartfelt unwillingness... He could be considered to have died before he could finish his mission.He plotted in every possible way to kill the emperor, and even stole the power of ascension to become a demigod, but he was imprisoned for thousands of years when he turned his head.

After finally releasing it, I encountered the evil star Dante again...

In a lifetime, there are only a few days of open and bright days.

But he also blamed himself. After walking out, if Xerath shouted bitterly:

"I have been imprisoned for thousands of years! You are looking for your own death!"

Instead of saying like just now: "I'm already invincible hahaha!"

That might last a while longer.

In general, Xerath's death cannot be said to have been deserved, at least it was a death that deserved it.

Black Widow came over.

"Is it dead?"

The huge core was pierced through with a sword, leaving a rather exaggerated wound, and the originally bright blue color also turned gray.

But Black Widow also knows that the enemy of this kind of magic test still has to consult professionals.

Opening the panel calmly, Dante watched the completion status of the task to make the final confirmation.

The [Power of Ascension] as a reward has arrived!
He threw the thing on the ground.

"through!"

Natasha raised her head, let out a long breath, and relaxed her whole body. The accumulated exhaustion immediately swallowed her, and she was a little unstable for a while.

Try to imagine a game where the difficulty is so high that you die if you fail.

It's not that I haven't played a similar game, Black Widow, but with so many rounds at a time, one can imagine the physical and mental devastation.

Of course, it's not enough to break her down.

Just rest for a while.

Dante didn't help her either, and the Black Widow is not a little girl. At this time, letting this strong female agent take care of herself shows your respect for her.

Emotional intelligence.

But the necessary care still needs a little bit.

"How are your hands?"

When taking out Xerath's heart, Natasha should have faced a lot of pressure.

"Except for some pain, there are no other problems... What happened just now?"

Dante knew the "timing" she was referring to.

"Well, did I tell you that if you want to become an Ascendant, you must go through a specific ceremony."

"I heard you mention it, Sun Disc."

"Yes, it used to be the center of Shurima, and it was also the destination of your trip."

Natasha: "And then?"

"An unfinished ascension ceremony naturally needs to be in that specific place and add a little incentive to continue until it is completed."

Dante winked and smiled: "You should also find that Steve is gone!"

"Ah."

Although the fight was a bit high, the battlefield stretched far and wide, so that the Black Widow did not realize this bizarre thing in the first place.

But now that the battle was over, it was impossible for her not to notice.

The associative ability of senior agents is not bad.

"But, why? Captain...is there any connection with Shurima?"

Dante spread his hands: "I will be a guest historian at most. For this kind of question, you should ask Joker who planned this operation, or ask Steve yourself."

"...It also makes sense."

"Ah, there is another piece of good news."

Natasha: "What?"

As soon as she asked, she noticed that the ground was trembling slightly.

Dante clicked his tongue: "If I'm not wrong, we don't have to hurry."

He felt something more than Black Widow.

The magical environment of Shurima is so unstable that even modern sophisticated electronic instruments cannot work here.

After all, he has experienced the War of the Void, survived the Darkborn crisis, and the collapse of the empire. The bad influence of these events has not completely subsided until now.

Not just people, but the environment as well.

In addition, they just had a passionate exchange with Xerath...

But just now, the originally chaotic magic environment suddenly stabilized.

Even if there is a sun disc, without the blessing of a true god, it is impossible to change the attributes of the entire continent.

Then there is only one explanation, Azir came... well, part of it.

Looking at the sand soldiers with noses and eyes standing upright in front of him, and the armor is particularly exquisite, Dante vomited in his heart.

"Even if Azir doesn't become the emperor, he's still very good at making sand sculptures."

There are twelve of these sand sculptures in a row, with indifferent expressions slowly moving away, bowing down respectfully, and stretching out their hands.

The chariot rises from the ground, and if the monotonous colors are ignored, it can be called luxurious.There are even four horses added... of course it's useless, it's just a scene.

Natasha was confused.

She can feel that these "people" are not malicious, or that the people behind these sand soldiers are not malicious, but this situation is indeed difficult for laymen to understand.

"Isn't that obvious? Get in the car!"

Dante took the black widow and got into the car carelessly.

"I know we're the ones sitting up, I'm surprised..."

Before she finished speaking, she felt that the environment in front of her was changing rapidly, like a desert documentary with super double speed, and then it was exactly the same as starting without warning. The carriage stopped suddenly as if pressing the pause button.

What made her even more surprised was that such a drastic speed change had no negative effects at all.

Fantastic magic.

【Shifting Sands】

Dante got out of the car directly, did not observe anything else, but looked at the magnificent sun disc in the middle of the field of vision above the city.

It doesn't support the building, it really hangs in the sky like the sun.

Visually, the diameter exceeds 3000 meters. It is a huge monster, plus the height of the suspension... I believe that even at the edge of the Shurima continent, as long as the environment is open, this disk can be seen.

Dante smiled.

This thing is the biggest gain of this trip, and it is worth more than a hundred ascenders.

It was designed and built by the giants, but it is directly connected to the creation god Aurelian Sol, so it is not an exaggeration to call it a super artifact.

Dante felt that Shurima, even at its strongest, was not at its full potential.

It's just used as an instrument to explode super soldiers...

It's like throwing watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.

If used well, this thing is definitely much stronger than the Rainbow Bridge in Asgard.

But before that, Azir must be dealt with first.

Natasha also accepted the reality at this time. With a single sentence, they crossed hundreds of kilometers and came to the end of the trip...

"What about the rest?"

Natasha is naturally referring to Logan and Jhin... Skarner who acts as a mount can also be added.

"They will come later."

A familiar voice came from behind.

The two looked back.

Dante: "Hey, isn't this Nasus, the god of death in the desert? I won't see you for a while, why are you so disgraced?"

There was a fight just now, although both sides didn't try their best, and they didn't kill him, but it's definitely overthinking to expect the devil to give him any good looks.

He said with a smile: "The reminiscence activities with my brother seem to be very unpleasant!"

Nasus let out a deep breath, stabbed Nasus in the vitals.

He was full of joy, thinking that he could finally be reunited with his brother, but unexpectedly released a killer.

This kind of thing, relatives and enemies, hurry up...

Originally, their battle should have lasted for a long time, but Azir's resurrection naturally drew all of Nasus' attention.The emperor obviously recognized the minister of the humerus, and was the first to take him to his side.

As for the boring scene where the monarch and his ministers complain to each other, you can skip it directly.

Nasus has experienced a lot of ups and downs today, so although Dante's words broke his defenses, he just kept them in his heart. He will ask for advice again when he has the opportunity, and he is still doing business right now.

The tall figure turned around and left a sentence: "Follow me, someone is waiting for you."

Dante and Natasha looked at each other and followed.

Probably because she was bored, or to ease the awkward atmosphere, on the way, Natasha saw those ruins that had been ravaged by time, but still could not hide their luxury and exquisiteness, and asked sincerely:
"Does this place have a name?"

Nasus: "Maybe there was, but it has been forgotten and can only be collectively referred to as the sun disc."

Black Widow raised her eyebrows: "You don't even remember?"

She had heard from Dante that this kobold was ridiculously old.

"That was farther back, even before the Icathian War, and I was just a baby on this timescale."

"I see……"

Overwhelmed by the heaviness and epicness of history, the Black Widow imagined a 10-year drama.

Walking in this kind of place is indeed embarrassing. Although it is the history of another world, the joys and sorrows of human beings have something in common.

Dante: "Unfortunately, we are the only ones in this city who can breathe now."

Black Widow: "..."

Nasus stopped.

"arrive."

The place they arrived at was not far from here, it should be inside the palace in the past.

Natasha's eyes lit up, and she saw Steve Rogers alive and well.

Delighted to go in.

Dante and Nasus are very close.The two people, one tall and one short, didn't move.

Nasus turned first, and Dante left after.

"Why don't you go and catch up with His Highness? I thought you were friends."

"It's important, someone can't wait."

Nasus: "..."

The fact is indeed the case, Azir once told him that after seeing this demon, take him there as soon as possible, there is a very important thing.

Not long after, in the spacious palace, a chicken-headed man was in the distance, and Nasus left in good time.

In fact, to say that Azir is a yellow chicken is mainly a joke.

These three ascendants have prototypes in Egyptian mythology: Renekton is the crocodile god Sobek, Nasus is the death god Anubis, and Azir is actually Horus.

The head of the bird is the eagle that symbolizes Horus.

To be watched by a pair of stern eagle eyes is not a good experience for most people.

In particular, he was holding a heart... also Xerath's body.

It seems that the usage of shifting sand is more abundant than imagined.

Azir's voice was full of memories: "You know? He is my best friend."

Dante: "Really? Then you watched him being hacked to death by me?"

Azir was silent.

At that time, he did see Xerath, and was even able to save his life.

But Azir didn't do that.

"My dear friend...must pay for his mistake."

His voice suddenly became harsh, even revealing the slightest threat: "Besides, there is no point in saving him in this cage."

Dante smiled.

The desert emperor is really not easy.

The few demigods I met before didn't find this critical problem.

But Azir's experience was different.

In the beginning, he probably didn't notice this, and instinctively led the descendants of the royal family to the largest oasis in Shurima...that is, this area.

Find the fountain of life and put Steve in it. While healing, Steve's blood also stained the land.

This also awakened Shurima to its former glory.

I don't know which god was moved by this kind of behavior... The high probability is the Dragon King, but in this completely impossible situation, Azir was resurrected and completed the ascension ceremony.

In the process, he discovered the secret.

The current world... only Shurima.

Dante: "Oh, don't say it so harshly, this is not a cage, but a god-given opportunity."

Azir put Xerath's body down, stood up from the throne, and walked to the window, feathers glistening in the sun.

His gaze flicked across the sun disc, and turned to Targon, which was farther away.

"What do you mean?"

"It may be hard to accept it, you, Xerath, and the dog head outside the gate, should all be from Runeterra... in the past?"

Dante talked about his understanding of the function of the mask based on the previous speculation of the supreme mage.

At some point, Runeterra was destroyed, and everything was consumed by the Void... except, everything before that time.

In a certain way, the mask extracts a fault to create such a space similar to a copy.

Everything here is, in a sense, just a relic of Runeterra.

After quietly listening, Azir remained silent.

This kind of thing is really unacceptable...

Everything you know will disappear at some point in the future, and what's even more sad... this fucking thing has already happened!
Azir clenched his fists.

"You just said...opportunity, what opportunity?"

"Does that even need to be said?"

Dante took it for granted: "A chance for revenge!"

The desert emperor turned around, his eyes lit up.

"There are grievances and complaints, there are revenges, and now Void is outside this... space, making waves. As a victim, don't you want to give him a hard shot for the sake of your future self?"

Azir turned around, paced slowly in front of the throne, finally sat back, and said solemnly:
"I admit, this is a very tempting suggestion... But like you said, we are just ghosts from the past, how can we reach reality?"

"It's easy to say, wait, give me some time."

After finishing speaking, Dante turned his head and left: "Don't worry, I won't wait too long!"

……

After an unknown amount of time, the clown opened his eyes in a dilapidated marching tent.

The bald man who was waiting next to him quickly noticed this, and the two met their eyes.

The clown smiled dangerously: "Singed...all done?"

The alchemist touched his bald head: "There is a hard bone, it is really not easy to chew, and the other joints have been opened."

"Ok?"

"Wakanda..."

Clown: "Oh, that, let's talk about it later, they may be able to help in the next battle."

"Okay, then I'll get ready."
