Is this also considered a hero?

The purpose of the Desert Emperor's revealing his identity was to convey to Lord Aatrox that he was still alive and had returned from ascension?

Then what does Lord Aatrox mean when he said that he can't go back?

Hayasaka Ai was immediately stunned.

Since the Rock King and the Desert Emperor can leave, there is no reason why Lord Aatrox can't go back.

Or, it's not that he can't go back, but... he thinks he can't go back?

Do you no longer see people like people who left scars and defects after being injured in an accident?

Ai Hayasaka knew that the Darkborn were fallen Ascendants, and they might not regain their former glory in the long years.

Hayasaka Ai only dared to guess in her heart.

She asked questions more than once when Aatrox was awake, and Aatrox would just ignore her most of the time.

As for whether to answer or not, it all depends on whether Aatrox wants to.

Not to mention Hayasaka Ai, even if the entire Shinomiya family and even the entire Heroes' Association were put together, they would not have the qualifications and strength to force that Darkborn to speak.

Whether Aatrox will follow Ai Hayasaka's question is entirely up to him.

Now that Aatrox stopped, there was nothing she could do but guess.

-------------------------------------------

outside the city.

A human-shaped crocodile is constantly galloping in one direction.

This is definitely an extremely weird scene.

This does not refer to the armor and crescent moon sharp ax on its body, but the change in its expression.

Originally, it had expressions of calmness and eagerness on its face, but as it kept moving forward, it changed more and more.

I don't know how long it took, it completely fell into madness.

Desert Butcher Renekton grinned, revealing a crazy smile.

"Not bad."

"In this position, I can already smell the breath of the Ascensioner's attack. It's just in the direction ahead. I didn't lie to me."

"Nasus... just wait!"

Renekton growled, every word it said was incomparably clear, without saying a word, the meaning of madness became deeper.

When he was in the original city, Renekton, who was originally extremely crazy, couldn't smell the breath of the Ascended in the desert far away.

After it regained its sanity after a fight with Kosaka Kyosuke, it chose to believe in Kosaka Kyosuke as a warrior, and began to move towards the desert.

Finally, it smelled the breath of the long-lost ascendant.

In front of this, there really have been ascenders! !

The crocodile grinned wantonly.

The rationality returned from the battle with Kosaka Kyosuke, in this extremely short period of time, unexpectedly returned to nothingness.

The butcher has only instinct left - revenge!

The desert is just ahead, and its vengeful betrayer, Nasus, is just ahead! !

-------------------------------------------

In the boundless desert.

The pyramids are already standing tall.

The place near the top of the pyramid is being opened like the entrance of a room.

Among them, there is a human being sitting cross-legged.

This existence is holding a book and reading it calmly, and beside his legs, there is a simple and old scepter.

The most incredible thing is actually himself.

Although this existence has a human form, it is not a human head, but... a head that looks like a wolf or a dog!

This is a monster with the head of a wolf.

But he is not as fierce and violent as the weirdos in this world, but quietly reading books in the pyramid.

Because what he plays is not a weirdo from this world, but an ascendant from another world—Desert Death Nasus.

Nasus was once the commander of the Shurima Empire.

Once, Nasus was the commander-in-chief and leader of the army, while his younger brother Renekton was the general who charged in the battle. Together, the two brothers were invincible and won a huge territory for Shurima.

Nasus is even more unusual than a commander, his gaze is almost unprecedented.

His only requirement for the army and the empire is that the books, spells and wisdom crystallizations of other civilizations and kingdoms must be preserved.

It was Nasus's actions that enabled Shurima to build an unprecedentedly huge library, so that slaves like Xerath were fortunate enough to read books and gain knowledge.

And Nasus has reached the extreme in both civil and martial arts, and even His Majesty the Emperor needs to call out the honorary title of Grand Master when he sees him.

In the morning when Renekton appeared, Kosaka Kyosuke had activated his avatar to act as Nasus and came to the desert.

Grand Maester Nasus is reading wisely.

Nasus himself was a book lover.

Otherwise, he would not have insisted so firmly that the empire must preserve the knowledge achievements of other civilizations.

And what could Nasus, who became a grand maester, want to do?It is precisely because of his love of knowledge that he chose to guard in the library.

Over the long years, Nasus has become an "otaku".

After helplessly sealing his younger brother Renekton, Nasus also suffered a huge blow.

So this honored Ascendant and Grand Maester who was famous all over the world just disappeared and wandered in the desert where the capital of Shurima was buried.

At some point, the wolf-headed scholar put down the book in his hand. He seemed to have noticed something, so he turned around slowly.

After he turned around, he looked into the distance behind him.

Nasus looked at the sky, where there were planes flying.

After glancing at the plane, Nasus turned his eyes slightly, lowered his head, and looked down at the distance below the pyramid.

The wolf-headed wise scholar sniffed lightly.

He seemed to smell something.

……

"This this……"

"What the hell?!"

In the plane, the pilot's eyes widened, looking at what he saw with a dazed expression.

This is a plane from the Association of Heroes, and it is going in this direction to obtain information about the disappearing crocodile.

As a result, the driver who just appeared in the desert saw an incredible scene.

pyramid?

Is this reasonable?This is not Egypt.

The driver saw a wolf-headed human being standing in the pyramid.

He couldn't help but speak.

"Could it be... Anubis, the god of death, can't do it?"

416. Desert Emperor and Reaper?

Death Anubis?

That is a god from ancient Egyptian mythology, who is the god of death and has the head of a wolf and a human body.

In Egyptian mythology, gods are often beasts or beast heads.

The most famous of them is Anubis with the head of a wolf, also known as the dog-headed god.

This is why the pilot of the Heroes Association shouted "Anubis" after seeing Nasus in the pyramid clearly.

Anubis, the god of death, and Nasus, the god of death in the desert, in fact, they have similar characteristics.

After the pilot was sluggish, he immediately contacted the headquarters of the Heroes Association and informed the association of the strange situation.

"Report, a pyramid appears below me!"

"In the pyramid, there is a wolf-headed monster whose features are similar to Anubis, the god of death. How should I deal with it?"

"How should we deal with it! Do you want to launch an attack?"

The plane was still carrying assault weapons.

If it's just an ordinary weirdo, then he can be eliminated directly after firing the weapon.

But what if... isn't that a weirdo?

……

In the association headquarters.

Not only the liaison officer, but even the other staff and heroes who heard it were dumbfounded.

Pyramids appeared in the desert?

No, this is not Egypt.

Wolf-headed human body, suspected to be Anubis, the god of ancient Egyptian mythology?The god of death appeared?

The cadres of the association who hurried over not long after hearing the news froze after hearing the content clearly.

This cadre of the association knows more information than other heroes and staff, and knows that this is the direction Renekton is heading.

He also knew Renekton's identity and purpose.

That is a vengeful ascendant, looking for revenge because of Kyosuke Kosaka's words.

As a result, a mysterious pyramid appeared in the direction of revenge, and the existence of a wolf-headed human body?

How could it be such a coincidence?

"What, Anubis? Human body with the head of a wolf?"

"Impossible, that's just a coincidence, it just happens to be like this."

The cadres of the association immediately denied it according to the situation.

Perhaps the existence of the wolf-headed human body is the target of Renekton's revenge?

Fortunately, it appeared in the desert instead of in the city, otherwise it would be bad.

The voice of the association cadres is very firm.

Because the Ascended Emperor Azir who appeared not long ago also had the head of an animal and the body of a human.

That is the emperor with the head of an eagle.

Then it's normal for an ascender with a wolf head to appear again, right?

Now that there is an eagle head...

"Wait, I remember that in ancient Egyptian mythology, the sun god who is the head of the Nine Pillars - Ra, Ra is the head of an eagle??"

The cadre of the association who suddenly remembered something from his memory suddenly froze in place.

In ancient Egyptian mythology, the highest status is not Anubis, the god of death, but Ra, the sun god.

As the most noble emperor of the Shurima Empire, Azir is also the head of an eagle like the sun god in mythology.

Is this a coincidence?

The cadre's body trembled, and with his extremely rich imagination, he began to make various associations.

The cadre realized one thing—no matter how much he looked up to the great Ascended Emperor Azir, he might not be aware of his true power.

Could the sun god Ra and the emperor be the same person?
