Chapter 953: Be Proud of Your Strength and Rule with Wisdom!

Wherever Esdeath looked, the warriors who had fought alongside her had turned into cold stone at this moment, as if time had frozen on them, forever frozen in that moment.

An indescribable emotion surged in her heart, including grief and confusion.

Her army, the army known for its bravery and loyalty, was so completely wiped out under Chang Wei's glance.

She recalled the perseverance and courage on the faces of those soldiers, their voices, their smiles, and their heroic demeanor on the battlefield.

Nowadays, all these have become a thing of the past, leaving only these lifeless stones.

"What's this?"

Esdeath asked in a trembling voice, her voice filled with fear and confusion.

She couldn't accept this cruel reality, let alone how it happened.

Scathach stood aside, her face expressionless, as if all this was expected.

She explained calmly: "This is one of Chang Wei's abilities. He can turn his target into stone by looking at it. This ability is called the 'Petrified Magic Eye'. As long as he wants, he can turn anyone he sees into stone." Or things turn into stone.”

Esdeath was even more shocked after hearing this explanation.

She never thought that such a terrifying ability existed, let alone that Chang Wei had such an ability. She felt an unprecedented fear and uneasiness, as if Chang Wei might turn her into stone at any time.

Now, she finally understood that the reason why Chang Wei was so confident, the reason why he was able to conquer Scathach, and the reason why he was not worried about her resistance was all because he had such a pair of "petrified magic eyes".

Esdeath's heart was full of questions. She didn't understand why there was such an existence in this world and why there was such terrifying power.

She couldn't help but start to think, what is this world like?

She leaned against Chang Wei's chest, feeling the warmth from his solid body.

She asked: "Is this the power of the Noble Phantasm?"

She tried to find the answer from Chang Wei.

Chang Wei calmly replied: "No, this is an innate ability. Not everyone can have such an ability, only a few people are born with such power."

Esdeath was speechless after hearing this. She felt an unprecedented shock.

There was such a person born with such terrifying power in this world, which gave her a new understanding of the world.

Such people do exist in the world of Zhan Crimson Eyes.

For example, the leader of Anning Dao, the existence known as Taboo.

He was born with the ability to heal wounds and predict the future. He could see into people's hearts and even remember the name and number of each believer.

He is a hybrid, a mixture of dangerous species and human.

The world may not be as simple as imagined.

Those so-called dangerous species may not be real monsters, but creatures that have some connection with humans.

There appears to be no reproductive isolation between them, which means they may share some kind of common bloodline with humans.

Maybe they are the products left over from a super-ancient civilization.

Moreover, based on this situation, the child of Ma'in and Tazmi at the end of the comic might be a Tyrande hybrid at birth, with a natural ability to adapt and evolve?

Maybe he can be the protagonist of the next work, but it's a pity that the author did not mention this child in the follow-up drawing, but focused on Chitong.

Esdeath nodded understandingly.

She begins to realize that the world is not as simple as she imagined. In this world, there are many powers and secrets that she doesn't know about.

However, since he was born with such a powerful power, why hadn’t he heard of it before and why hadn’t it appeared until now?

With such power, one is born to be a king.

The return of Changwei and Scathach swept across Noxus like a violent storm, making the heart of the entire empire tremble.

They single-handedly, with the strength of just two of them, met Esdeath's imperial army, which was said to be a hundred thousand strong. Not only did they retreat, but they also killed Esdeath, the strongest spear in the empire and one of the empire's double walls. General Si captured with his own hands, a feat that shocked the entire Noxus and every corner of the empire.

When the news of the two's triumphant return spread throughout the streets of Noxus, the entire city seemed to be boiling.

People on both sides of the street walked out of their homes and poured into the street. They cheered, screamed, or applauded. Everyone's face was filled with indescribable joy and pride.

The army was also inspired, and their morale was greatly boosted by Chang Wei and Scathach's feats.

The soldiers became energetic at this moment, and their eyes were full of determination and determination.

They know that with heroes like these, Noxus will be able to face any challenge.

Amid cheers, Chang Wei and Scathach rode their war horses and slowly drove into the central square of Noxus.

There was not much pride on their faces, they just looked at everything in front of them calmly.

Although Esdeath was a prisoner of war, he rode with Chang Wei.

When she saw the enthusiasm of the Noxian people and the morale of the army, she couldn't help but feel a little doubt in her heart.

Why does this newly emerging kingdom have such strong cohesion and centripetal force?

"Welcome to Noxus, where power is exchanged for glory."

Chang Wei said calmly on the horse. Although his voice was not loud, it was clearly heard throughout the square.

"The social atmosphere here is actually unusually tolerant."

Chang Wei continued.

"All the specialties and talents of the people will be respected and have the opportunity to be cultivated. No matter where you come from, no matter what your identity and background are, as long as you have enough strength and talent, you can find your place in Noxus."

Esdeath's eyes lit up when she heard this.

She had never thought that there would be such a country with such a tolerant and open social atmosphere.

"Value strength above all else?"

Esdeath asked tentatively. She wanted to confirm whether she understood what Chang Wei meant.

"Of course."

Chang Wei replied with a smile.

"In Noxus, strength is everything. But the strength here does not only refer to force or brute force, it also includes wisdom, courage, leadership and so on. No matter in which field you show your talent and strength, you will get the respect and status you deserve."

Esdeath was shocked when she heard this.

She had never thought that a country would value talent and strength so much.
