"Damn it!"

One PhD student yelled, "What do we do?"

"Retreat? No, the losses this time have far exceeded our expectations. We can't just leave like this!"

"attack!"

"Continue the attack!"

In just a short while, they lost several slices. If this kind of effort doesn't bring them the reward they deserve, they'll go crazy.

Most importantly, this was the best chance they could have to seize Shurima's civilization. Next time? They knew there wouldn't be a next time.

"Even the wisest sage can lose his reason in the face of greed."

Nasus said in a low voice.

He used all his power to maintain the strength of the barrier, which made it impossible for a group of doctors to achieve any effect in the short term. A smart general will assess the situation and, since it was also a war of attrition, Nasus quickly chose the wisest way to fight.

His trump card was the land beneath his feet, the power of the yellow sand, and the call of the forest at this moment.

He and Nasita had made a promise long ago that if the forest suffered, he would return.

Of course, the doctor was unaware of all this.

All the slices of attack landed simultaneously, creating a deafening roar. Even the doctor's subordinates joined in, using every ounce of their strength to try and break through the protective barrier.

But before they could achieve their goal, as the branches of the forest swayed, a terrifying sandstorm suddenly descended from the sky.

At this moment, the sky and the earth were covered by golden dust. The Sumerian people, who were already in shock, were troubled by Nasus's actions, stunned by the Doctor's attack, and then stunned by the yellow sand that filled the sky.

Amidst the yellow sands, a gray-robed undead, carrying a greatsword, seemed to have emerged from the ancient lands. The moment he appeared, everything around him was plunged into death.

"Nasus, I've come to pick you up."

"That's what the desert spirit said."

As he spoke, a terrible curse spread, and a black storm swept through. He took down his greatsword, and excitement appeared in his eyes, which gleamed with a scarlet light.

His excitement stemmed not from the upcoming battle, but from his encounter with Nasus.

Finally, Nasus, come back!

"How could I be left out?"

Sivir, wielding a crossblade, appeared beside Aatrox.

Then another figure appeared, Asna, with golden hair like the sun and a cold gaze.

now.

The three most terrifying beings in the desert descended upon the city of Sumeru!

It was like the power of the end times!

"Oh my god, Sumeru is doomed! The rainforest is doomed!"

"Great Grass God, save your people!"

"Lord Grass God, please save your people!"

"The desert's malice has arrived! Lord Grass God, where are you?!"

"The Great King of the Tree of Compassion! The Great King of the Tree of Compassion!"

Despair was evident on the faces of the people of Sumeru City.

A terrifying desert army has descended, the emperor's most trusted subordinates, who will now bring the emperor's will to rule over Mount Sumeru!

Not to mention the citizens of Sumeru City were already stunned, even all the doctors' pupils contracted sharply, and a strong sense of foreboding welled up in their hearts.

"How did they get here?!"

Three isn't many; they still have more than a dozen, but...

No chance of winning!

His expertise in experiments allowed him to quickly assess the odds of winning if the battle continued. Then, each slice looked at the other, and they all reached a consensus at the same time—escape!

But at that moment, a palace like an emerald gem descended, sealing everything around it within a special space.

Nasita stood on the dreamlike float, hands on her hips, her lovely face flushed with anger, and said in the tone of the Father God, "Those who offend Shurima, though far away, shall be punished!"

She learned this phrase from His Majesty the Emperor's countless glorious deeds.

These few simple words carried an undeniable authority and domineering presence. She couldn't imitate them, but she still wanted to say them.

Moreover, she is really angry now because Nasus is her respected teacher who imparted wisdom to her and appeared when she was most lonely and helpless.

No one can hurt the teacher!

With a wave of her hand—"Give the usurper the punishment he deserves!"

This scene stunned everyone.

Overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information, some citizens of Sumeru City fainted, some clutched their heads and cried out "Impossible!", while others knelt on the ground shouting things like "The rainforest is finished, the desert has unified Sumeru!" and still others rejoiced, shouting "The Grass God has already ruled the desert!"

"Follow your will."

The three ascendants made their move simultaneously.

A terrifying 'shadow' descended, bringing with it a massive dark cloud.

The doctor's slice reacted almost instantly, launching an attack to break the barrier. The barrier was set up by Narcida, so how strong could the latter be?

but--

The verdant palace was indeed destroyed by a combined force, but afterwards, a golden palace emerged, emanating from the power of the yellow sand.

"This is impossible?!"

The doctor was filled with shock and anger.

Grass God? Emperor?

"So you're the one who injured Nesef?" A deep voice echoed in the Doctor's Slice's ears as the blood-red greatsword fell, cleaving the blade in two.

"Perhaps he's not worth us joining forces with, but... never mind." Sivir's crossblade sliced ​​through flesh, drawing out large amounts of blood.

"I think so too, but... never mind." Asna's twin swords slashed out with light and shadow.

This was an absolutely crushing massacre... no, it can't even be called a massacre, because all the doctor's slices combined only amounted to a dozen or so.

The strongest ascendants, burdened with a curse, traversed the desert. Their power was rekindled by the Sun Disc. Unkillable, they have returned, even stronger than before.

despair?

No, there is no time to despair.

One of the doctors rushed towards Nasita, who simply raised her hand, and under her control, the sand spear formed from the yellow sand instantly pierced through the opponent's body.

Looking at the slices of flesh being slain one by one, Nasus calmly said, "See, I was right."

The golden power receded back into his body, forcefully suppressing the erupting curse. The two forces clashed fiercely, and Nasus groaned twice, his body swaying precariously. But soon a golden light descended, and power surged into Nasus's body, helping him to completely suppress the curse.

"Teacher, are you alright?!" Naxi Da jumped off the float.

Nasus shook his head slightly, a relieved smile in his eyes: "It seems you have already recognized the Emperor."

“Hmm, not yet.” Seeing that Nasus was alright, Narcida blinked. “But I was chosen by the Golden Plate.”

"A golden disc?" Nasus was taken aback, then fell silent. It was a solar disk.

As they were talking, the battle on the other side came to a complete end.

The Doctor's slices were all killed by Aatrox and his two companions. The remaining members of the Fatui were either killed or captured by the guards led by Asuna. In just a moment, a calamity for Sumeru City was resolved.

Seeing this, Nasita finally understood why Shurima was able to unify Mount Sumeru and even dare to challenge the other six kingdoms.

If the number of Ascended hadn't been drastically reduced by the Father God later, perhaps one day they could have truly possessed the power to rule the seven kingdoms... Well, of course, Narcida also knew that everything that reaches its peak must decline, and when it exceeds certain rules and limits, even the greatest good can turn into a disaster.

"Lord Grass God! Lord Grass God!"

The battle ended, but the yellow sand had not yet receded. Amidst the rolling dust, Nasita led an evil force from the desert, a sight that terrified onlookers.

Finally, the sage mustered his courage and asked, "Lord Grass God, why do you stand with the great sin of the desert?"

Naxi Da looked into the city of Sumeru and saw the anxiety on the faces of her people. Even though the calamity was over, who knew what would happen next?

Knowing this, Nasita said, "I do not stand with evil. They came from the desert to save you from disaster. They were the bravest warriors of Shurima, and now they have returned in glory."

“But Shurima is a kingdom ruled by a tyrant. If it hadn’t committed heinous crimes, how could it have been buried under the yellow sand? It must be the heavens’ punishment!” the sage shouted. “Grass God, have you been brainwashed by that emperor? You actually consider yourself a member of Shurima! If you truly inherited the will of the Great Tree King, you shouldn’t be with these sinners. They will drag Mount Sumeru into an abyss!”

"Who is this person?" Sivir asked.

“Cavaja, the sage of the Epistemology,” Nasus said, “he was partly responsible for helping that fellow commit his act of usurpation of divine power.”

Knowing that the rebels who helped the Fools create divinely made machines to defy the gods have now failed and the usurpers will surely be punished, Kavaja chose to strike first. He wanted to unite the rainforest's resistance against the desert, shift the conflict, and thus seek a chance to survive.

But his plan was destined to fail.

As the yellow sand in the air became turbulent, Nasita could no longer control it. To everyone's astonishment, a colossal shadow, as tall as the sky, slowly appeared between heaven and earth.

Upon seeing this figure, Nasus was filled with excitement and knelt on the ground, shouting, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Great Emperor!"

"Emperor!"

Aatrox and the other two also knelt down.

Desert Emperor!

A colossal shadow enveloped the entire city of Sumeru, startling everyone who involuntarily lowered their heads under the immense pressure of the will.

God cannot be looked at directly.

From the sky, Su Chen calmly watched all of this.

The moment he learned that the desert was attacking the rainforest, and sensed the message Nasus was sending through the sandstorm, he had already seen everything happening here through the eyes of the yellow sand.

Even if Narcida hadn't appeared, he would have descended and destroyed all of the Doctor's slices.

But Nasita appeared, riding on the yellow sand, leading his soldiers, and turned against Mount Sumeru.

To be honest, Su Chen never dreamed that things would turn out this way. Initially, he thought that Nasus stayed by Narcida's side partly to hide himself in anonymity and partly to maintain the situation in Sumeru and to secure more benefits for the desert.

But now it seems clearly wrong.

That little thing, Nasita, is now staring at me with her emerald-like eyes, not at all afraid. On the contrary, she is very excited. Look, her eyes are even shining!
