Xerath recognized Kalja's face at first sight - even though this was their first meeting.
It's not that Xerath knows the history of the Shurima Empire very well and knows the appearance of every historical figure very well, but it's because Kalya is the idol of his best friend Azir.
Yes, few people know that Azir is a fervent admirer of Kalya.
Although he usually would not speak to outsiders, when he was getting along with Xerath in private, Azir never concealed his admiration for his ancestor Kalya.
This admiration initially came from the many similarities between the two of them.
Azir was weak as a child, and Kalya was not a powerful ascendant according to historical records.
Azir has had the ambition to revive the empire since he was a child, and Kalya is the main founder of the Shurima Empire.
Azir did not like the slavery practiced in the empire at that time, and Kalya even stated his opposition to slavery.
Except in her personal life, Kalya seems to be everything Azir wishes she could be.
In Azir's room, the background wall is a huge relief sculpture of Karya, which was a gift he requested from his father when he was ten years old. It was the most precious thing in the room before he ascended the throne.
As Azir's best friend and confidant, Xerath also met the relief every day, and Kalja's face was all too familiar.
"No, you are not Karya." After a moment of astonishment, Xerath firmly shook his head and once again created a dense array of arcane magic balls, attacking directly at Karya, "His Majesty Karya has fallen in the catastrophe.
Among them! Those who pretend to be gods and ghosts will die!"
"How do you know I'm not?" Kalya smiled and shook his head. He just waved his hand gently and once again eliminated Xerath's spell without any warning. "In Shurima, there should be no
People would go to great lengths to imitate an old guy, right?”
Xerath paused after hearing this.
However, after a moment, his tone became a little subtle.
"You're not. You don't have the aura of immortality in you - and besides, you're too powerful."
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned for a moment.
"Among the Thousand Gods Legion, His Majesty Kalya has never been known for his strength. His wisdom is the main factor that leads Shurima to glory - and you, you can easily deal with my attacks in my world,
This is definitely not the power that Kalya has!"
Thalia was a little confused, but Riz didn't care much. Only Ino's look at Kalya became subtle.
Although he was a little embarrassed by Xerath's indiscriminate bombardment, Ino's eyes were particularly smart at this time, as if to say, "This is the impression you gave people when you were in the Shurima Empire."
And Kalya, who has always been eloquent, was a little bit dumbfounded when he heard Xerath's words.
"Is this a compliment?" He sighed softly, "Let's go, take me to see Azir, the blood connection can prove everything."
These words stimulated Xerath.
"What are you going to do?" Xerath suddenly raised his tone, and dense arcane orbs floated around him again, "Bloodline stripping?"
"A dead person cannot be resurrected." Kalya shook his head gently, "Not even if the bloodline is enriched."
"Azir is not dead." Xerath activated the magic ball, "Shurima also needs the emperor to return!"
"Then let him come to see me!" Kalya finally raised his tone, "Since he's not dead, let him come!"
As he spoke, Xerath's arcane sphere disappeared for the third time. However, when Xerath saw this situation, he seemed to have discovered something and couldn't help laughing.
"I kind of believe that you are His Majesty Kalya." He did not create any more arcane magic balls, but stretched his hands into the void, "You have stolen the authority of subspace - there are unofficial records that His Majesty Kalya is a master of space magic.
He is very accomplished, and it seems that what he said is true!"
As he spoke, several arcane barriers in all directions condensed and formed, and began to shrink and squeeze with Kalya as the center.
"If you look at the author column when you are reading, you will find that the author of "Some Conjectures on Subspace", "Introduction to Space Stability" and "Magical Cybernetics" is the same person." Seeing his own methods being seen through,
Kalya no longer concealed it, "Moreover, this author has also written many interesting novels."
"I'm not in the habit of reading novels." Xerath snorted, then controlled the spell and began to squeeze Kalya, "Come on, respected Lord Kalya, contribute your blood to Shurima!
"
"Since you have recognized my identity, why do you still stand in front of me in such a majestic manner?" Kalya's tone was slightly compassionate, "It's a pity that you didn't find a brand new road, but in the old
If I can continue on this path, everything here is open source to me.”
With that said, Kalya waved his arm for the third time, and the arcane barrier created by Xerath disappeared suddenly as if he had escaped into a different world.
What was different from the previous two times was that after being prepared, Kalya opened his right hand for the first time after waving his hand to dissipate the attack.
From the palm of his right hand, golden sand flowed out like the Milky Way, filling half of the alien space into a sea of sand in a few breaths!
Seeing this scene, Xerath finally understood why his previous attacks were inexplicably dissipated.
"So you also have a subspace!"
"Correct answer, but there is no reward." Kalya smiled and nodded, "Now, let me test you, how are you studying the spatial nesting theory?"
Even though he had become an arcane being, Zerath could not help but shudder after seeing Kalya's smile - when Kalya said "test you", an indescribable feeling
, the mountain-like sense of oppression made Xerath almost unable to control himself.
Yellow sand is still pouring in.
The broken rune trees on the ground were completely covered up, and the subspace that originally seemed so empty was actually filled with yellow sand, making it vaguely possible to see where the border was.
Faced with Kalya's unscrupulous behavior of filling sand after seizing control of part of the subspace, Xerath naturally could not turn a blind eye.
It can be seen from Kalya's state that this guy must be very good at using sand. If he fills the subspace with yellow sand, then even if Xerath has the world rune as a heart, I am afraid he will have no choice but to be crushed.
Rounded!
Therefore, Xerath also tried his best to change the properties of this space, trying to regain control and prevent Kalya's sand filling behavior.
The battle seems to be reaching a stalemate.
However, even Xerath himself did not expect that the process of regaining control would be very smooth.
It didn't take long for Kalya's sand-filling behavior to be curbed. Kalya's magic was simply worthless in front of Xerath, and it would break at the touch of it.
In this case, even though Xerath knew that Kalya was not easy to mess with, he still couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and laugh.
Yes, you are the founder of Shurima space magic, and you can temporarily steal power while I control the rules of subspace, but without the support of tyrannical magic, why do you fight me?
"Your Majesty Kalya, your time has passed!" The yellow sand in the subspace began to dissipate, and countless arcane symbols around Xerath lit up, turning into countless chains shining with azure brilliance, and wrapped around Kalya
, "Now, you'd better surrender and help the real emperor to be reborn!"
Old guy, you are a remnant of the old era, stop showing off now!
However, although it seemed that the situation was over, Kalya still had a meaningful smile on his face. He just looked at Xerath quietly, as if he was a teacher asking questions in class, waiting for the students to answer his questions.
Questions always have some expectations.
The chains with the seal quickly rushed towards Kalya, and then, just as they were about to put them on Kalya's body and capture him with all the magic power of the seal, a grain of sand fell on the chains.
Just such a small contact, the chain quickly collapsed like a paper horse meeting fire.
At the same time as it collapsed, a pitch-black crack appeared where the chain once existed.
"It seems that your knowledge of space nesting theory is not very good." Karya finally shook his head, with a hint of disappointment in his tone, "Dual space, is this your limit?"
At this moment, Xerath finally realized that something was wrong.
Control of the subspace is still in his hands.
But the stability of the entire subspace is greatly reduced, and it seems that the collapse may accelerate at any time!
And the reason for all this is the grain of sand that Kalya just created - or in other words, it's because of another subspace that Kalya just created!
Fooled!
Because he was eager to regain control of the space from Kalya, Xerath forcibly closed the external connection function of the subspace to prevent Kalya from pouring out all the sand in his small world.
Kalya, who seemed to have quickly lost control, retained the fatal space nesting permissions after giving up a large number of permissions, and took advantage of the fact that the subspace external connection permissions were closed and there was no expansion redundancy in the subspace.
A nested attack started!
In normal times, this kind of space nesting will not cause any trouble to the subspace. Kalya's magic power is limited, and the secondary subspace created hastily in a short period of time is not destructive. As long as the subspace is slightly redundant and expanded,
It can absorb the oscillation caused by the secondary subspace.
However, in order to compete with Kalya for control, Xerath took the initiative to turn off the redundant expansion of space, causing the subspace to lose its ability to adapt to redundant expansion!
By the time Xerath discovered the problem, it was already too late.
The gravel-like secondary subspace in Kalya's hand, placed here, is like subspace bombs one after another, which can completely destroy the subspace carefully purchased by Xerath in minutes!
Faced with such a situation, although Xerath was hateful and angry, in the end there was nothing he could do - the secondary subspace had already been prepared, and now that the external connection authority of the subspace was opened, redundancy and expansion were useless.
"I think Azir should also be inside this subspace, right?" As Xerath stopped moving, Kalya showed a winner's smile, "If I continue to nest attacks and the subspace collapses, he will finally
The remnants of it can only disappear into the dimensional rift."
"..."
Xerath remained silent.
"Give up control of the warp." Kalya issued an ultimatum, "Now, let me go see Azir."
Xerath wanted to refuse, but under such circumstances, he had no room to refuse.
The only good news for Xerath is that it doesn't look like Kalya is determined to destroy Azir.
If you want to erase the last traces of Azir, you only need to continue to collapse the subspace - as Kalya said, as long as this subspace collapses, the last remnants of Azir are destined to disappear into the cracks in space.
There is no more to be found in it.
"What on earth are you going to do?" Xerath's voice was dry and hoarse, "Obviously I am here to revive Shurima..."
"So you think that I also hope to revive Shurima?" Kalya looked at Xerath like a silly child, "If you read more biographies, you should have heard this sentence."
"?"
"It is not great because of Shurima, but greatness is named Shurima."
Xerath was stunned.
(Hearing this, Ino, who had been watching the battle before, suddenly realized that this might be the reason why Kalya did not bring Nasus in.)
"Perhaps for you, the glory of the empire is a lifelong dream." Kalya came to Xerath's side, ignoring the fact that the other party's arcane body did not have a physical body, and still stretched out his arm and gently patted the other party's shoulder.
, "But as far as I am concerned, all the greatness I can achieve is named Shurima."
Xerath was stunned.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You know, I am actually quite envious when I see you like you are now." Kalya continued, "In the age of the empire, I spent
For thousands of years, we have been trying to find ways to use plants to absorb the magic power of the world itself, hoping to replace the sun disk and pull the empire out of the quagmire of internal competition."
"And now you have mastered the power that I once dreamed of, but you use this power to restore the long-sunken corpse of that ancient empire."
"In the age of the empire, the glory of the sun disk made everyone ignore the shadow under the glory. The sun disk blocked the way forward, which ultimately led to the collapse of the empire."
"And now, the key to a new era is in your hands, but you still want to go back to the past. Isn't this ridiculous?"
"You said you want to revive Shurima, so let me ask you, what is Shurima?"
Kalya looked at Xerath calmly, waiting for his response.
Xerath wanted to say "All glory to Shurima", but when the words came to his lips, he could not open his mouth.
"A group of people were abandoned by their tribes in the Sea of Death and survived by supporting each other. This is Shurima."
"After growing strong, I did not think about shrinking into a corner, but walked out of the Sea of Death and drank from the banks of the Shurima River. This is Shurima."
"Don't imitate other tribes to plunder people as slaves, don't rely on powerful tribes, follow your own path, unite as one, endure hardships and hardships, and you will succeed. This is Shurima."
Having said this, Kalya finally paused for a moment, with a nostalgic smile on his lips.
"It's not that all glory belongs to Shurima." He looked at Xerath seriously, as if he was a history teacher correcting the students' misunderstandings, "but that Shurima has chosen the path of always moving forward, walking all the way.
Come, you will naturally be covered with dazzling glory by time."
