Wearing the crown and smiling on his face, Amumu finally fell to Rod's hands - he converted the life-saving anti-cold ice spell, only to be deceived by Rhodes miserably, and when the continuous flames crushed him, Amumu's ice rune could only become a burden.

The flames rolled out, and Amumu finally collapsed in the flames—and the smile on his lips didn't disappear until he fell to the ground.

Amumu falls, and the curse ends.

Feeling that the feeling of prying disappearing, Rod finally let out a long sigh.

The murals on the corridor vanished, and at the same time, Amumu's corpse quickly disappeared - and the runes on the bandage left the bandage at the last moment and were imprinted on Rod's body.

This time, Rhodes didn't resist, he opened his arms and let the incantations be printed on his body, and along with the incantations, there was a long memory.

……………………

What is immortality?

Immortality is immortality.

And everything is balanced, and if you want to be immortal, you must pay the corresponding price.

The titans are the basic enforcers and maintainers of the rules of the Valoran runes, the sun tether controls the rising and setting of the sun, and the moon tether lets the moonlight shine all over the earth at night—they are immortal because they stick to the rules day after day for Valoran.

Slightly inferior to the sun and moon, the giant gods such as war and guardian did not contribute enough to Valoran, so although they were still immortal, their ontology often needed to sleep for a long time, and they relied on the star spirits.

Unlike the Titans, the gods of the Wilderness are immortal—and for the trade, Anivia is ice, Orn is flame, Volibel is thunder, and the Throat of Vileness is poison...... The gods of the wilderness transformed themselves into the embodiment of the law, and by following the guidance of the law of runes, they also gained immortality.

All cause and effect have a price.

And as a mortal born in Shurima, what is the price of immortality?

The Ascendants barely achieved immortality - but their immortality was only physical immortality, they used the power of the sun to forge their immortal bodies, but they could not get the matching minds, as a result, after the Battle of Ionia, some of the Ascendants died in battle, some fell into the Darkspawn, and only a few of the Ascended who really found their way and were qualified for soul immortality survived to the present. (e.g. Nasus)

However, wanting to become an ascended one also requires great power as a qualification, and Azir is not the first emperor to try to achieve immortality.

A long time ago, a little emperor of Shurima had longed to become a truly immortal being—he was Amumu.

The little emperor who ascended the throne early was immature, he didn't know good and evil, he didn't distinguish between right and wrong, and his methods were only according to his basic nature, and because of this moodiness, he became a complete loner at a young age.

The lonely Amumu longs for a friend.

And because of his fear of moodiness, he never had a friend—and over time, Amumu poured his friendship into the dolls he carried.

It was a clown doll, and Amumu liked to laugh and like this doll.

The clown doll is good - he always smiles and never disobeys Amumu.

And then...... Amumu became more and more tyrannical.

However, because he is a child's heart after all, his destructive power is very limited for Shurima as a whole, and the people around him just subconsciously avoid him.

In this way, Amumu entered a dead circle - the more lonely he is, the more he values his little doll, the more he values his little doll, the more he is rejected and lonely.

In this terrible cycle of death, one day, Amumu had an idea.

If...... Can dolls really come to life?

Amumu began to look for a way to bring the doll to life, and the person with a heart found a chance to send himself to the throne.

The Immortal King deceived Amumu by saying that as long as Amumu found the legendary Eye of Unge, as long as the Eye of Unge looked at the doll, the doll would truly come to life.

Believing this, Amumu hurriedly began to search for it - he issued an order, and the whole Shurima went into action.

In this way, for the first time, Amumu's tyranny affected the people of Shurima.

Dissatisfaction began to build up, and the joyful Amumu knew nothing about it - even after the Immortal King had co-opted all the Ascended Ones and mastered almost all of Shurima, he was still searching for the legendary Eye of Unge with his last diehards.

However...... The Eye of Unge is just a hoax after all.

Following the guidance, Amumu fell into a trap prepared by the Immortal King, and at the last moments, the bloodline of Emperor Shurima gave him a final chance to turn the tables and he was eligible for an equivalent exchange.

This is the special qualification of the ancient emperor Shurima, an equivalent exchange that only happens once in a lifetime.

Amumu made the exchange, his doll came to life, and he gained immortality, but in return, he was no longer the emperor of Shurima, he would have no friends, and everything he touched would wither, decay, and be cursed.

In the end, nothing escaped the calculations of the Immortal King, and Amumu severed his own bloodline in the bloodline transaction, and in this way, the usurpation of the Immortal King became a matter of course.

It looks like the Immortal King has won a big victory.

However, just after he became the new king of Shurima, Acacia declared a rebellion, and Ishtar escaped from the Empire's weaver tribe into the desert, and the entire Shurima Empire went from prosperity to decline.

At the end of his life, the Immortal King finally realized what the ignorant Amumu had finally made - after the choice, Shurima would no longer have a true emperor.

Now, Rhodes has put an end to it all, he has eliminated Amumu, he has eliminated Sacco - and when one end of the exchange has been eliminated, the other end has finally been returned.

The next moment, a golden crown appeared on Rod's head.
