BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1453 The Sun And His Warrior
"Are we now ready?" Adrian asked as he was about to open the portal to the Temple of the Sun.
"Just a moment, Champion Equinox. I will need to give my avatar a gift so that she will not be so defenseless the next time someone attacks the temple." The Goddess Sekhmet stated which shocked everyone.
"You have an avatar? If you had one, then where is she?" Cairo asked.
"You are already acquainted with her. Is that not right, Estet?" The Goddess Sekhmet stated as she looked at the High Priestess Estet.
All of the people are shocked to see one person being the avatar of one goddess. In fact, even the High Priestess Estet is shocked upon knowing this revelation. She did not expect that the Goddess Sekhmet would suddenly say that she was her avatar when she is clearly very faithful to the Goddess Bastet.
"It seems that my sister did not say anything about her situation, but the Goddess Bastet and I are twins. My sister is the peaceful representation of protection while I am the aggressive representation of protection. My real title is also that of the Goddess of Protection." The Goddess Sekhmet stated.
"No wonder your soul felt similar to the Goddess Bastet when she descended upon the world. You and she share the same souls which means both of you were one entity. You call each other twins but the most appropriate term would be split souls." Adrian stated as he now pieced together why the soul of the Goddess Sekhmet is familiar.
"You are correct, Champion Equinox. The Sun God Ra needed more protection back then which is why he aided us in splitting our souls. The Goddess Bastet will resume our duties as the Goddess of Protection that oversees the people while I will become the shield of the Sun God Ra.
The Goddess Bastet and I pull energy from the same followers that she has as we are one entity. This is also the reason why I could harness energy in the mortal realm despite not being praised by the people. In essence, the High Priestess Estet is also my avatar, but you will not be able to wield my powers and the Goddess Bastet simultaneously." The Goddess Sekhmet stated.
The Goddess Sekhmet then gave the High Priestess Estet a boon. Two powerful flaming scimitars suddenly appeared in thin air and became shots of light that entered the High Priestess Estet\'s forehead. Two golden bracelets suddenly appeared on the wrists of the High Priestess Estet with the mark of the Goddess Sekhmet.
"Use these weapons to call upon my power when you need it. Sometimes, one needs to be part of the battlefield in order to protect those that are important to them. I shall send you my power when you call for me even if I am not there physically." The Goddess Sekhmet stated.
"I am very thankful, Goddess Sekhmet. I am very loyal to the Goddess Bastet though… I understand. I shall keep them." The High Priestess Estet stated as she suddenly changed her mind midway because the Goddess Bastet sent her an oracle.
"You will not be able to wield all of my power as I am still here in the mortal realm, but you will be able to when I ascend. I also task you in choosing a champion for us as this fight with the Shadow of Apophis will need more forces on our side. Choose someone from the people that defended the temple but make sure to test them." The Goddess Sekhmet stated.
"Thank you, my goddess. Your will shall be done." The High Priestess Estet stated as she bid her farewells.
[The Goddess Bastet has proclaimed that the Temple of Bastet shall now be called the Temple of the Twin Protectors.]
[The Temple of the Twin Protectors will worship the Goddess Bastet and the Goddess Sekhmet.]
Two new world notifications were given to the players as the Temple of Bastet is no longer just venerating her but also the Goddess Sekhmet. The existing priests of the Temple of Bastet are also given revelation on how this is possible. New job paths are now available to the players in the Temple of Bastet as well as they are now able to wield weapons.
Adrian opened a portal to the Temple of the Sun and all of them entered it. They arrived at the very center of the temple where the Sun God Ra could be seen floating in the middle near the Sun Disk. The Sun God Ra came down from the air as the Goddess Sekhmet bowed in reverence to her father god.
"You have come, my daughter. Come here and I will ease your pain." The Sun God Ra stated as the Goddess Sekhmet came close.
The Sun God Ra then used some of his energy and directed it to the diamond scarab that is still attached to the back of the Goddess Sekhmet. When the diamond scarab felt the energy of the Sun God Ra, it detached itself without any problems and became a trinket once more. The Sun God Ra then opened a hole in space and kept the diamond scarab inside as that hole led to the treasury of the Temple of the Sun.
"Thank you, father god." The Goddess Sekhmet stated as she can now ignite her body once more, but she made sure to control herself.
"You must have wanted to talk to me, my child. Come and let us have a chat. The rest of you can go and do what you need as I am going to be spending some time with my daughter." The Sun God Ra stated.
"Thank you once again for helping me, brave warriors." The Goddess Sekhmet stated as she and the Sun God Ra walked around the Temple of the Sun to talk.
"It seems that the Shadow of Apophis will not move for now. Let us plan our next course of action but all of you are free to go for now." Adrian stated.
