Desert Emperor in Star Iron: Chapter 57 Black Tower: Who are you? Ash: I am the Emperor

There are many travelers in the universe who are embarking on their own destinies, and the Nameless Traveler is undoubtedly a famous existence among them.

Thousands of years ago in the Amber Age, when the pioneering star god had not yet fallen, everything in the universe was an unknown area, and civilizations were isolated from each other. Akivali explored the universe and lit up one galaxy after another.

After his death, the Nameless Guest inherited Akivalli's will, took the Star Train to lay silver tracks in the universe, and insisted on walking on the path of pioneering.

However, today, due to an unknown collision, the Starry Sky Train had to stop.

At this time, in the public compartment of the train.

The train conductor, Pam, paced back and forth nervously, tears welling up around her head.

"It's over, the train hit someone, pa!"

Red uniform, top hat, and a pair of long, droopy black ears...rabbit?

Although he is very small, everyone who boards the Starry Sky Train will respectfully address him as "Distinguished Train Conductor" when they see him.

"No need to stress Pam."

At this time, a lady with fiery red hair murmured, "There are too many unknowns in the universe. Since the other party can wander in the universe, it means that the other party may have equal strength. Or perhaps, like Xiao Sanyue, he has some kind of power protecting him."

Pam raised her head, a glint of hope in her eyes: "Jizi, you mean... he might not be dead, Pa?"

"I agree with Ji Zi." The calm middle-aged man adjusted his glasses. Everyone felt reassured as he spoke. "It's highly likely that the other party possesses this kind of power. In other words, if not, it's just a corpse drifting in space. Even if we hit it, it won't cause any harm."

"Is that so?" Pam felt much more relieved instantly.

At this moment, a lively voice said, "What if someone saw our Starry Sky Train and came to ask for help? But the conductor knocked them away with a bang, and then they flew away with a bang."

The pink-haired girl used various body movements while speaking, which was very lifelike.

Pam was shocked: "Is that so?!"

"March, don't talk nonsense at this time." said the black-haired boy.

"What? Danheng, do you think what I said is wrong?" Sanyueqi turned around and said, "Xing, what do you think?"

The gray-haired girl called Star made everyone look at her.

Why are you asking me? I'm just a newbie.

After thinking for a while, Xing said, "I saw with my eyes that thing seemed to fly backwards."

Sanyueqi suddenly realized: "Oh!!"

Everyone looked towards her.

"What's wrong, little Sanyue."

"Jizi, why did we hit him head-on with a bang, but he went flying backwards with a whoosh? Shouldn't he have fallen back with a whoosh?"

The calm middle-aged Walter pondered: "This situation may be because the other party is flying too fast... Pam, how is the locomotive?"

"I just checked it out, and the damage isn't serious."

"It seems that the other party is protected by a powerful force."

"So he's not dead, huh?"

Walter and Ji Zi exchanged a glance, and the latter said, "Let's chase in the direction we were just in. If we can find them, we can apologize to them. If we can't find them, then that's all we can do. Our journey to the next stop can't stop here."

It is somewhat difficult to find a UFO in the universe, but since it has happened, it cannot be ignored.

...

Wow!

Omphalos.

Wan Di stood outside the royal city, watching the black tide receding, a hint of doubt emerging in his vigilant expression.

"Finally left?"

Fighting, constant fighting, the attacks of the Black Tide seemed endless, and he had been fighting since he returned with the Shurima Legion.

Fortunately, the black tide here is much smaller than that in Ohma, but because the Sand Soldier Corps suddenly lost control, this defensive battle became difficult.

However, the fighting power of the Imperial Guards is indeed strong. Without the Golden Race who has the strength to suppress them, the Imperial Guards companies cooperate with each other in battle, and their burst of fighting power is simply stronger than that of all other soldiers of the Shurima Legion combined.

"finished?"

Julius held the battle axe, a trace of fatigue appearing on his resolute face.

He looked around at the bodies of soldiers scattered all over the ground, then looked back at the still solid city wall and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Anyway, the city was defended.

"Looks like it's over." Wan Di walked towards him. "Let's clean up the battlefield first and carry the bodies of the dead soldiers back. Don't lift the combat alert until you're sure it's completely safe."

Julius nodded and immediately arranged for people to get to work.

"Wan Di, where is King Ash?"

Xiadie walked over.

The battle was so intense that she didn't have time to ask what happened.

"He should still be in Shurima." Wan Die shook his head. "The sudden appearance of the Black Tide, along with Nicadori and his Scourge Legion, has thrown the situation into chaos. But don't worry, he's very powerful. He wouldn't necessarily lose against a Titan head-on. If he can't defeat them, he can definitely retreat."

Xiadie nodded slightly: "Then you go to Xuanfeng City first, and leave this place to me."

Wan Di hesitated for a moment and nodded. There should be no serious trouble on the Shurima side. The black tide was not endless, otherwise the world would have been destroyed long ago.

Although Xuanfeng City has an army garrison and the city walls are strong enough, it has experienced a series of wars and its strength is greatly reduced.

After all the enemies left, Xiadie returned to the city and managed affairs in the name of the high priest, waiting for Ash to come back.

However, when the black tide completely receded, Omphalos returned to a relatively peaceful state, and the war in Ohma ended, she still did not wait for Ash to return.

As time passed, the atmosphere in Shurima became increasingly restless.

After all, the entire kingdom was built on Ash.

Without him, and without the protection of King Ash, can Shurima survive?

"Don't be nervous, don't be hesitant, the sun's light still covers this land. It is the symbol of King Ash's power. Hang in there, my people, and one day, King Ash will come again, bringing the golden light of dawn to break the eternal night." - words of the high priest.

...

Cold, shaking.

My consciousness was hazy and it hurt so much. It felt like there was a bump on my head. It hurt so much.

So what exactly happened?

Ash's consciousness gradually regained consciousness, and his memories were reconnected.

But he really couldn't remember what happened before he fell into a coma.

Where is it now?

The light on the ceiling within his field of vision told Ash that he should be lying down now.

"Hmm? Are you awake? How are you feeling? Is your brain okay?"

A careless voice came into his ears.

Then a young girl's head appeared in his field of vision. She stared at him and said, "Come, repeat after me, 'Beautiful Lady of the Black Tower, Lady of the Black Tower of unparalleled wisdom, great, no words needed'. Repeat after me."

Ash: “…”

Black Tower???

Ash blinked hard to make sure he was seeing things correctly, and that it wasn't an illusion or a dream.

Wait wait wait, what is this for me?

From Ompharos to the Black Tower Space Station???

No, I seem to have been hit by something?

Ash tried hard to recall the scene before he fell into coma, but he only remembered that he was flying in the universe at an absurd speed, and then... where did the power that was carrying him come from?

Ash was sure that it was not the power of the mark. The mark only protected him from harm, but did not allow him to fly in the universe.

And he could fly so fast, across the galaxy. Is he an envoy? Or a star god?

"Huh? Is your brain still broken? Although all the data checks are fine, the complexity of the human body is comparable to that of the universe." The girl said to herself.

"that..."

"It's the peerless Lady Black Tower."

"Hello, Miss Heita."

Ash sat up from his lying position and looked around, finding himself in a clean and tidy room.

"Where is this?" he asked tentatively.

"Hmm... your eyes are filled with two parts of speculation, one part of doubt, and seventeen parts of clarity. You should know me."

It was too difficult to hide anything in front of the great black tower, so Ash simply nodded and admitted: "Yes, I know you, but why twenty points?"

"Isn't that good? It's twice as much as ten." Heita said as a matter of course, "Then, unknown life form, tell me where you came from."

"Omphalos."

"Omphalos?"

A thoughtful look appeared on Xiao Heita's face.

"Strange, it's a galaxy I've never heard of..." She stared at Ash's eyes for a while. From the expression on his face, she judged that he was not lying, but the name 'Omphalos' was indeed unfamiliar to her. She needed to confirm it carefully.

What also concerned her was that she felt the power of memory and intelligence from Ash. In addition to this, there was a power that she did not recognize, which made Heita very interested.

However, in order to avoid scaring away the guests, she maintained her ladylike reserve and did not ask too many questions.

Anyway, as long as people are still alive, the answers will always surface little by little through Ms. Black Tower's exploration.

"Forget it. Regardless of where you're from, I have a very important matter to inform you of." Heita picked up Little Bun with both hands and said, "Because of your unauthorized login, you have caused serious damage to the Heita Space Station. Someone will give you the compensation list later. Until then, you should get some rest. You look like you haven't slept in many days."

After saying that, Heita walked out of the room.

"Can I ask a question?" Ash called her.

"What?" Heita turned around.

"Where is the Star Train?"

"Star Train?" Black Tower said nonchalantly, "You're looking for them. Unfortunately, they left not long ago."

Although the Star Train is not as famous as the great Black Tower, it is not surprising to know about it.

"Left shortly after destroying the Antimatter Legion?"

"Oh? You know that too?" Heita turned around and looked at Ash carefully. "I'm suddenly curious about your identity. Who are you?"

"Emperor of Shurima, Ash."

"Emperor? The leader of a country?"

Omfalos, Shurima, and the Black Tower were silently memorized in his mind.

"So how did you know this place was attacked? It didn't happen that long ago."

If it was someone from the company, it wouldn't be surprising to know this. But Ash came from a galaxy he had never heard of, which meant that communication wasn't very advanced, so it made sense that he shouldn't have known about it so quickly.

"I'm a fictional historian," Ash smiled. "I see it through the interweaving of history and fate."

"Tsk~ Then you are really amazing."

Heita doesn't believe this nonsense.

But it looked like she wouldn't get the answer she wanted.

"Then Emperor, take a rest first... Oh, by the way, your weapon is a little broken, I have someone repairing it. But the thing next to the bed is fine, remember to take it and don't blame the space station if you lose it."

Heita waved and walked out of the room.

Ash turned to look at the bedside table and saw a coin on it.
