There were numerous enemies in the desert, but the Sand Guardians handled the weaker ones. Adrian, on the other hand, sent Sirius against the monsters that are slightly more powerful than the Sand Guardians. He is thankful that there are not that many monsters that attack them that are in Adrian's level range. If a level 245 enemy were to appear here, then they will definitely be defeated.
When they were resting, the Goddess Bastet suddenly felt something or rather an energy that is very familiar with her. Adrian also felt something amiss in the desert as it suddenly became completely silent as this is not normal. The silence of the desert will never happen as the wind blowing on these lands are loud in a sense.

"Something or someone is coming." Adrian stated.
"I know who is coming." The Goddess Bastet stated as she suddenly looked to the western side.
The silent desert started to shake as the sand itself started to shift. The moon that shone bright in the desert sky suddenly had a red glow as a Blood Moon Eclipse suddenly appeared. Thunder started to rumble in the sky, and lightning hit the sands. The whole sky became lit by the cracking of lightning in the dark clouds above them.
"Everyone! Huddle up as we are experiencing a desert storm. Sir Xon and Miss Tet should go in the center for your protection." Shara stated as she told the two to go into their encirclement for protection.
"It is not a real storm. It is made using magic." Adrian stated as he could see mana being manipulated and in large amounts.
"It seems that my brother- uncle has come to pay us a visit." The Goddess Bastet stated as she immediately used protection magic on all of them so that the storm will not hurt them.
"Miss Tet, do you mean your brother- uncle is a powerful magus? If that is the case, then he must be looking for you due to you going away from your home." Shara stated as she calmed down as she learned that they know who is creating the powerful desert storm.
"He is not really the friendly type, but I doubt that he would kill all of you. I hope." The Goddess Bastet stated as she reinforced them more with protection magic.
"He did not descend, did he? If he descended, then I would have felt his divine aura by now." Adrian stated via telepathy.
"If he truly did descend then all of us would have been blown away by now as he would create a massive storm that can annihilate an entire kingdom. We will not survive it should he descend as he is part of the ancient gods." The Goddess Bastet stated.
"Then we will face an avatar that he summoned then. The swirling sands over there has a humanoid with a jackal headgear. It seems that he is very compatible with the avatar that he has chosen or is it due to the fact that the world accepts more divine energy?" Adrian pointed as the storm suddenly subsided.
A human wearing a jackal headgear appeared before them and he gave off an aura that is severely oppressive. His aura could be described as powerful as a storm because of how turbulent it was. He is literally like a storm incarnated because just looking at his mana fluctuations can make a mage burst their eyeballs.
"Should we prepare for battle?" Shara asked as she knows that battle against family members in the Western Continent is common.
Fights for inheritance in the western continent are common because there are a lot of illegitimate children. Some illegitimate children are even more talented than the legitimate heirs which is why even heirs cannot slack off. This is also the reason why there are numerous heirs that die due to succession as only the strong can win. Winning means being alive in the language of the western continent.
"Even if all of us take him on, we will not be able to live. We should just pray that we will survive should he become hostile." The Goddess Bastet stated.
"Sister-Niece? It is a surprise that you actually descended to this plane of existence. I did not think of you as someone that wants to conquer the western continent." A deep rumbling voice like thunder came out of the human with the jackal headgear.
"Brother – Uncle, it is nice to talk to you again. I rarely talk to you since you have gone and took the duties of father. But it seems that you did not come for me this time." The Goddess Bastet stated as something clearly happened to their father for the God Seth to take over the duties of the most powerful of their gods.
"I did not come for you because I came for him." The God Seth possessing his avatar stated as he pointed towards Adrian.
"Me? I do not know you though." Adrian replied as he is suddenly put in the spot as he does not know why the God Seth wants with him.
"You, Champion of the Twin Gods, have been in the presence of the light of Atum. Tell me where you got that small spark of radiant light." The God Seth stated as he questioned Adrian.
One thing that the normal people could not understand is the language of gods. All the Sand Guardians can only hear static as the three are talking using divine energy. The Sand Guardians could not hear anything, and they cannot stare directly at the God Seth's avatar as he descended about a quarter of his full power.
"Have you seen our father in the afterlife, Champion Equinox?" The Goddess Bastet asked with great anticipation.
"Not really. Only gods of death are able to be in the death realms as that is there domains. From what I know, Atum is a sun god." Adrian replied as he thought really hard on the beings he encountered.
"My eyes do not lie as I have been in the presence of Atum ever since I have accepted his offer of being in combat with the Distorted God Apophis. I have been by his side for centuries as we battled that blasted serpent." The God Seth stated as he summoned thunder with his words as he does not want to be called a liar.
"The only being that I have encountered that had the power of light would be angels. There is another one but that one is just a kid." Adrian stated as he pondered on people that he has seen with light elemental powers. He only briefly interacted with the kid as he needed to save his sister back then.
"It should be that boy! Bring him to me this instant." The God Seth stated but Adrian suddenly looked at the former with an intense glare.
"I think that you are mistaken. I am not your Champion and not your servant." Adrian stated as his nether energy in his body started to seep out of his body.
If there is one thing that Adrian does not like, then that would be someone demanding him to do something that is not in the right. The God Seth is basically telling Adrian to kidnap the boy from his parents just because of his small statement. The Sand Guardians and even the Goddess Bastet could feel the terrifying energy that is coming out of Adrian as they were closer to him.
"Champion Equinox, stop!" The Goddess Bastet stated as Adrian is becoming wild.
Adrian suddenly snapped out of his rage as he saw that his nether energy made the Sand Guardians pass out. It seems that he has yet to see what his new body is capable off but now he has one. If he does not control himself then the nether energy filling his body would actually explode forward.
"You as well, Brother – Uncle. You know that we cannot mess with the mortals or else the other gods will do so as well. If that happened, then chaos would ensue as even the gods will be lawless and do anything they want." The Goddess Bastet stated.
"Even if that is true, it does not mean that my will is to be ignored." The God Seth stated as his current host suddenly exerted magic power to make the sands shift.
The sands started to shift as the God Seth forced his magic power to materialize. Adrian has no problem with this as he could just float in place, but the Sand Guardians are caught. They are currently passed out because of the pressure that the God Seth is exerting.
This is one of the times that Adrian wants people that cannot know the truth to actually escape but they are passed out. Thankfully, the Goddess Bastet used some of her magic to create a barrier to isolate the Sand Guardians. They are currently safe as long as she is safe.
