Chapter 438: Install Two Nuclear Warheads on the Satellite
Li Lin's idea really shocked Azir and Nasus. It was not to deal with the void, but to capture Xerath.
You know, Azir has been letting his "good brothers" wreak havoc in western Shurima. He is not worried that the City of the Sun, which has finally been stabilized, will once again fall into chaos. This is only a secondary reason.
Most importantly, he has no confidence in his own strength.
After becoming an Ascendant, Azir's power will grow by one every time the sun rises and sets.
But even so, Xerath is undoubtedly the top group of Ascended Ones, comparable to Aatrox, one of the strongest Ascended Ones in the past.
Although he was severely wounded by Azir and Nasus not long after escaping from trouble more than a year ago, it was purely a sneak attack and he was not fully prepared at all.
After Xerath established a new "pseudo capital" in Nerimajie near Mount Targon, he has been extracting the power of the earth's veins, and his strength has grown much faster than Azir.
As an emperor, there are many things to consider.
Even with the addition of Nasus and Malphite, Azir was not completely sure of defeating Xerath, not to mention that the crazy Renekton was still watching in the desert, so the Western Expedition was put on hold.
But Li Lin actually said that he could capture Xerath now?
Azir and Nasus both thought deeply about the current situation.
Renekton has been captured, and Malphite has been sent to clear out the surviving Ekse in Calixai. It is estimated that the void threat closest to the imperial city can also be solved. There is currently no news about the prophet Malzahar. The west side occupies the port. The Noxians will not threaten this war of gods...
Unless the Titans from Mount Targon intervene, with a mecha that can easily subdue Renekton, two gods and the lava beast Malphite, the odds of victory against Xerath are already high.
"Xerath stole too much celestial power and became an unrecognized ascendant, without even an orthodox ascended body.
"Unless the energy of its spirit body is completely wiped out, it cannot be killed at all."
Azir raised the most serious issue currently facing him:
Xerath is a pure ascendant, but he is very different from the orthodox god warriors.
It would be okay if he had a normal physical body, and he could kill even in an ascended posture, but a spiritual body would be too troublesome.
According to Azir's plan that he had discussed with Nasus, he was still planning to seal Xerath underground and build a cage specifically for him that would never see the light of day.
"Actually, I have been researching a new technology recently." Li Lin proposed a long-planned idea. "If I can capture it, I can erase Xerath's will through a mechanical device and make him a A purely biological weapon that obeys orders."
Azir: "..."
Nasus; "??"
The two looked at each other in disbelief. Azir looked at Li Lin. If there was any expression on his face, it would be confusion and surprise.
"Impossible. Before Xerath stole the power of ascension, he was a very powerful wizard. He was proficient in ancient forbidden witchcraft and his spirit was extremely powerful. Even the Grand Maester and Renekton were helpless against him, let alone you? "
It wasn't that Azir didn't trust Li Lin, but that the idea he proposed was simply unimaginable and whimsical.
A human being actually tries to control an ascended person by relying on a mechanical device?
"If what you call 'erasing the will' is really that simple, there would be no need for me to seal Renekton and Xerath together in the tomb."
Nasus looked back and looked at his brother who was completely awake. His mouth was tightly closed and he could not speak. He was staring at his brother with eyes full of anger and madness, and sighed.
"I am confident, please let me try." Li Lin vowed, "And even if I fail, I can directly seal Xerath by then, right?"
"All this is based on the fact that we are absolutely sure to win Xerath." Azir said solemnly.
"My strength has not yet reached its peak. I think that at this stage, I am at the middle to upper level among the once-ascended group.
"Aatrox, Horok, Rhaast and other top gods can all fight against multiple opponents in a martial arts contest. Varus can immobilize relatively weak Ascendants with just one look, let alone Talk about his superb archery skills that can accurately shoot through an apple from a hundred kilometers away.
"And the leader of our Ascension Group, the first Ascensioner in Shurima, Setaka, who holds the Charikar and is honored as the Valkyrie, can at least withstand the siege of dozens of gods by one person. "
Azir paused for a moment, "I think your mecha is probably comparable to Renekton at his peak, or even a little better. With me, Nasus, and Malphite, we can't compete with Xerath's." The winning rate is only 70%.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Lin said immediately: "No, Your Majesty, we still have a helper."
Nasus seemed to realize something and said in shock: "Isn't it possible that Qian is referring to..."
"Yes, but it's not just this."
Li Lin stretched out his hand, and the material of his cuffs turned into a projector, projecting another completely different mecha and the appearance of a space-based satellite in front of them.
"The mechanical giant Gaboga, and my space-based laser ray satellite."
…
…
After some discussion, Azir and Nasus felt that with the addition of a Gebogar for assistance, the winning rate against Xerath should be infinitely close to 90%.
Now that there are no other threats to Shurima, the Belvis incident more than half a year later is imminent, and Xerath's matter must be resolved as soon as possible.
This is why Li Lin didn't tell Azir that Aatrox and Varus should return to Shurima, otherwise he would probably be even more impatient to rush to Shurima's first capital. Si occupied Nerimajie.
Before heading west to conquer the ancient wizard spirits, enough preparations should be made.
First of all, we have to deal with Renekton's problem. Azir leads the army to go on an expedition. Naturally, it is impossible to leave this crazy "beast" at home.
But his problem is not difficult to solve. Nasus has already thought of a way: using a sarcophagus that can purify the soul.
It is a common practice in Shurima to use magic sarcophagi to seal targets. Nasus and Renekton were sent away by Xerath to seal the fire beast using this method.
Later, during the battle with Xerath, they also used a magic sarcophagus to seal it, but the opponent's powerful magic exceeded the sarcophagus's endurance and directly exploded it.
The fragments and traces of chains that remain on Xerath's body now are those on the magic sarcophagus.
Nasus used astral magic to carve magic on a sarcophagus that was enough to purify the soul, and placed it in the center of multiple purification circles. With tears in his eyes, he and Azir sealed Renekton inside.
Soon enough, the celestial warrior who dominates the battlefield will return again.
Li Lin must be fully prepared to solve Renekton's problem.
Knowing that his current funds were somewhat exhausted, Azir generously sponsored him.
This is an investment of an empire's strength. Even though Shurima has just been revived, its thousands of years of ancient heritage cannot be compared to Pi City, which was only founded more than 200 years ago.
Li Lin had sufficient funds and quickly invested in the construction of new machinery.
He first bypassed the academy and directly applied to Heimerdinger to use Gaeborga to accompany the Ascended Ones to fight against another Ascending One.
Heimerdinger was horrified at the time, but after hearing this data that could test Gebogar's full strength in actual combat, he accompanied Azir on the expedition to defeat the traitors. After much deliberation, Heimerdinger agreed and immediately began to upgrade and improve Gebogar. Work.
Later, Li Lin asked Zhi Nao to schedule the production line to mainly produce various types of artillery shells needed by Gaibojia and Tyrant Behemoth, and then produce 4 War Lords.
Since the mechanical giant didn't need him to worry about upgrades, he turned his attention to building space-based kinetic energy projection satellites.
The space-based laser ray satellite has a long cool-down time and can only catch Xerath off guard once on the battlefield.
If the opportunity is right, the material-splitting laser beam with full power and full duration may be able to severely damage Xerath. Of course, this is the final trump card and should be reserved for critical moments.
During the rest of the time, apart from the long-range harassment by Geboga and five War Lords, the only thing that could be put to use was the Orbital Giga-class Cannon.
He quickly built a space-based material projection satellite that was almost the same as the space-based laser satellite, except that it was much larger and had a very different internal structure.
Because it was a modified version of the same type of invention, no reward was awarded for building this artificial satellite.
Li Lin loaded 10 specially-made material projection projectiles on the satellite. For convenience, he made two compressed nuclear fusion missiles in advance and installed them on the satellite.
Nuclear fusion missiles are much heavier than material-projecting artillery shells. Just two of them reached the upper limit of the satellite's load-bearing capacity.
After checking several safety hazards and conducting detailed data analysis, Li Lin transferred the artificial satellite to the satellite base and left the rest to Zhi Nao to arrange the launch as soon as possible.
In addition to these, in the remaining time, he continued to improve the time and space transmission device, and finally achieved what he expected.
Although it is still impossible to teleport living creatures with today's technology, at least Gaibojia's Fist can be released anytime and anywhere, with a delay of less than one second.
If time were not too tight and there was not enough money, he would have wanted to build an orbital space station as his strategic command base, where he could also park his large mechas.
Time passed quickly again for half a month, and it was time for Li Lin and Azir to agree on the Western Expedition.
He took a deep breath to relieve his nervousness, determined the target of City of the Sun on the holographic display of his visor, and quickly teleported there.
At this moment, a towering mecha with a height of more than 220 meters and a towering mecha with a height of more than 180 meters are standing under the sun disk, bathed in the sacred light.
Beside them, Malphite, who was more than 100 meters tall, scratched his head, seeming to wonder why the Tyrant beast was the same as him.
The two mechas have been star-blessed by Nasus, and their defense performance and energy increase have been greatly improved.
Li Lin looked up at them in a daze.
After a while, Nasus, who sensed the teleportation magic, came over and put his paw on his shoulder, "Are you ready?"
"Let's go."
