Chapter 1341 Shadow Of Apophis II
"It seems that compatibility is really needed for a vessel or else the god or goddess descending will not be able to execute their full power. Even my gravity manipulation is ineffective against her. This is the reason why I hate fighting with beings that can have gods as their backers." Adrian thought as he immediately gathered ten mirrors to surround the Goddess Ammit.
Adrian then used Reflection to conjure up the beams of light from the damaged he absorbed earlier. Ten powerful light beams came out of the mirrors and accurately hit the Goddess Ammit or rather she let them hit her. The Goddess Ammit did not even bother evading as she knew that her enemies now are beneath her.
What the Goddess Ammit did not notice is that a wound appeared on the arm that she used to block the beam of light attempting to hit her face. She is shocked at the audacity of the Champion of the Twin Gods to even dare to hit her by the face. She is one of the most beautiful goddesses in the western continent at least according to her definition of beauty.
"To think that a mere champion is bold enough to go against a goddess." The Goddess Ammit stated with her very feminine voice which did not coincide with her maned crocodile head.
"Enough said. You sided with the Shadow of Apophis and kept feeding it life energy of the living. Do you think that the other gods will forgive you for your treachery? The Twin Gods, the God Seth and the Goddess Bastet already know of what you did. It is better to surrender now and beg for leniency." Adrian stated but he is actually very nervous now.
Even if it is only a vessel of a god against him, Adrian could feel the sheer divine aura that the Goddess Ammit is radiating. It is much overpowered compared to when Frey uses Goddess Descent to call upon a part of the Goddess Freyja towards her. One could say that one needs to multiply Frey\'s power by four in order to even get close to what Anipe\'s body is giving off right now.
"Silly child! Even if the other know about my plans, do you think that I am the only one that is involved? The other gods that are with me are already sending their troops towards here. Do you think that three of you coming here will derail my plans?" The Goddess Ammit stated confidently.
In fact, the Goddess Ammit would not have been so confident if it was during the daytime. She is confident because Sadiki, the vessel of Seth, cannot have his patron god descend. The Goddess Ammit is very wary or rather afraid of the God Seth as he can rival the God of the Sun Ra in terms of power when needed. If the God Seth could not then the body of Apophis sealed in the Sun God Ra\'s divine realm would have escaped by now.
"Let us try then." Adrian stated as he suddenly used all the mirrors he conjured to point towards the Goddess Ammit.
The Goddess Ammit smiled at the cheeky behavior of the Champion of the Twin Gods. She saw Adrian as an ant that she could easily stepped on if she so chooses. She does not need to even block the attack anymore as she has accustomed herself with Anipe\'s body.
The flash of dozens of light beams towards the Goddess Ammit blinded everyone in the area. When the light show died off, the Goddess Ammit could be seen unscathed as she easily protected herself with barriers. What the Goddess Ammit did not expect is that Adrian only used that for a cover because his real agenda is to throw all the followers of the Goddess Ammit into the Thorny Pit.
He plans to make sure that only the Goddess Ammit will be the one left to fight. Even a descended god will have a difficult time battling all of them as she is only borrowing a mortal body. A god\'s power might be more powerful than a mortal but the body they are inhabiting has an expiration date.
"You dare take your eyes off me!" The Goddess Ammit stated as she suddenly conjured up a powerful energy into her hands that turned into an orb. She then fired that orb towards Adrian who conjured up a mirror to block it.
"Ack!" Adrian exclaimed as he vomited out blood since he used a lot of mana to block one attack from the Goddess Ammit.
"It seems that it is clear that you already betrayed us, Ammit. I pity you as you actually betrayed your own family just for the price of power." The High Priestess Estet stated or rather the Goddess Bastet that has descended onto the battlefield.
[You are in the presence of the Goddess Bastet.]
[Your defenses are increased by 50% while in her presence.]
[Your health regeneration is increased by 100% while in her presence.]
"Bastet! To think that you will descend from your home. I shall personally deliver you to the mouth of the Shadow of Apophis so that its awakening will be complete. I always hated you for being the nurturing one when all these pawns are filled with vengeance." The Goddess Ammit stated as she only view humans as pawns.
"You, who eats the hearts of others, should be the one that knows what their hearts desire and contain. I shall make sure to punish you here and now." The Goddess Bastet stated as she suddenly brandished her whip.
The two goddesses started their fight that shook the entire area. All their followers are also boosted since they descended to the mortal realm. The increased pace of the followers of Ammit made the golden warriors of Seth have a difficult time since they are numerous. The followers of Seth want their patron god to descend as well but it is currently nighttime, and their god is battling the worst divine entity in their knowledge.
"Aer you, okay?!" Cairo asked Adrian as the former helped the latter up.
"I am fine. I am just a bit flustered and clearly on the red but Saena is already healing me." Adrian replied.
"This is dangerous! The Goddess Ammit has descended which means this place will turn into a bloodbath. You said that no more life should be absorbed by the Shadow of Apophis but it will completely stabilized if a lot of people die. I think I should use my most powerful skill now." Cairo stated as he is worried that the Shadow of Apophis is going to awaken in full power.
"It is already awakened. It is playing the Goddess Ammit for a fool and is biding its time. I have a feeling that it wants at least one of the vessels to get defeated before appearing." Adrian stated which shocked Cairo.
"What! How did you know?!" Cairo asked with pure shock and disbelief in his mind.
"Did you not notice that Kimat vanished from the battlefield? I swapped him with Sirius earlier when my light shows against the Goddess Ammit happened. Sirius managed to descend into the Thorny Pit, and I shared my sight with him earlier.
What I found out is not good for us because that damned serpent has already achieved full awakening. It even managed to damage Sirius and got him down to half his health with one attack. It is not showing itself because of the sudden appearance of the two goddesses." Adrian stated.
"What are we going to do then?" Cairo asked.
"I shall transform to my true form and force that serpent to show itself. You must descend into the Thorny Pit and rescue the fragment soul of Ra trapped there as well. I shall be the diversion as we only need to rescue the fragment soul of the Sun God Ra." Adrian stated but Cairo frowned.
"What about the western continent then? We cannot let the Shadow of Apophis wander off when we know that it will destroy everything." Cairo stated.
"Unfortunately, we need to just consider our mission as of now. We cannot go against the Shadow of Apophis with just these forces. We need to assemble the whole guild if necessary. A distorted god is vastly different from a dark god. Remember that we need to lose some battles in order to with the war." Adrian stated as he flew to the sky.
