Chapter 1339 Anipe

Anipe was not as merciless as she is now because she was once a normal girl until she became the slave of the previous Vessel of Ammit. She became the slave of the previous Vessel of Ammit because of her disfigurement that made her lower jaw appear as she has no lips. Her deformity garnered the attention of the not just the vessel but Ammit herself.

Anipe knew that she must not remain as a slave if she did not give anything to be praised. The slaves of the Vessel of Ammit are different as they fight for their lives every month. All slaves will need to either kill or greatly debilitate their opponent but the one that loses will always get fed to the current vessel's mount.

Anipe made sure  to always win her matches and even go as far as poisoning her opponent before the match. The innocent girl that did not even kill an ant before became a killing machine that rose to the ranks of the Temple of Ammit as she was recognize greatly by the Goddess Ammit. A great change happened to her face when the Goddess Ammit blessed her.

The teeth that could be seen as she was born with no lips suddenly turned razor sharp. Her teeth became like that of a predator and her eyes slowly looked reptilian in nature. She was suddenly called the Crocodile Mouth Anipe because of this.

If it was the Anipe that came before all the fights then she would have cried because people are teasing her but she has changed. She became vicious and bloodthirsty that she ripped the flesh of the person that called her that using just her teeth. She even severed the head while munching on the heart of her victim.

The other slaves no longer dared to call her anything as they were filled with fear. She became the top contender for the leader of the slaves of the Vessel of Ammit. She achieved all of this when she was not even an adult as she achieved something more when her coming of age happened.

The reason why the Vessel of Ammit chooses slaves and make them fight is to make sure that they will be filled with hatred and vengeance on their hearts. The Goddess Ammit desires these people to be under her as they would be easier to control and be extremely compatible with her. When all the slaves came of age, only one was left alive and that was Anipe.

Anipe is then initiated by the Temple of Ammit to become the new Vessel of Ammit. The remaining slave would need to defeat the current vessel so that the Goddess Ammit can descend upon them. If they successfully defeat the current vessel than they will be blessed to become the new leader of the generation if not then the current vessel starts the process once again.

If the current vessel wins then they will be the one that eats the heart of the defeated. The current vessel of Ammit that was Anipe's master is already very old and have survived three initiations. He was already getting old, but he must fight against his full power against the initiate or else he will die from the rage of the Goddess Ammit.

The fight between the current vessel and the Initiate Anipe was fierce but the latter won in the end. Anipe defeated her master that was the object of her vengeance by beheading him. The Goddess Ammit smiled upon her victory and descended on her body for the first time.

When the Goddess Ammit descended onto Anipe, the body of the vessel became filled with incredible power. Her body also changed to look like the Goddess Ammit which is a crocodile head with a lion's mane. She dug out the heart of the previous vessel and ate it in one gulp.

Anipe's body was filled with the power of the previous vessels before her as she absorbed their strength. She roared as she finally became the new Vessel of Ammit as she has succeeded. She is no longer the slave that was dragged against her will but a person of great authority.

"Stop this insolence or else my army will destroy all of you and I shall feast on your hearts." Anipe announced but she already knew the answer as she smiled greatly.

Anipe always wanted to taste the hearts of other Vessel of Gods, but they were in a treaty of peace. They cannot interfere with one another unless something like territory encroachment happens. She is glad that they came to this area as they will die to the being below the pits but she must taste their hearts first.

"Warriors of Ammit! Charge! We shall feast on the hearts of our enemies!" Anipe shouted as her beast charged towards Sadiki and the High Priestess Estet.

"Golden Warriors of Seth! Kill the ones that are preventing us from completing the task of our god!" Sadiki shouted as his armor suddenly covered his whole body.

"Priests of Bastet! Protect our comrades from the infidels!" The High Priestess Estet commanded as all the priests changed from offense to defense.

The battle between the collective force of the Temple of Bastet and the Temple of Seth fought against the Temple of Ammit. Cairo could not believe that the Temple of Ammit actually broke the treaty and announced war against two of the major powers of the western continent. He also got ready for a fight, but he guarded his guild master since he was still attacking the Thorny Pit.

"Guild Master! Will we not help them?" Cairo asked.

Adrian looked at Cairo and saw the situation of the battle. He knows that the combined force of the Temple of Bastet and Temple of Seth will not be able to handle the full force of the Temple of Ammit. They are surrounded as this is the territory of the Temple of Ammit and they cannot ask for reinforcements that easily.

"Saena! Aid our friends. Aether Domain!" Adrian commanded as he changed his form to his Aetheros Form.

Aether Dust is suddenly being spread throughout the battlefield as Adrian's form changed. He also commanded Kanlaon to sweep all the Aether Dust that Adrian is generating to all the people. Kimat and Kanlaon are always attacking the pit since they need to see the bottom.

"I think it is still not enough. Soul Recall!" Adrian casted as he summoned the door to the underworld to call upon a warrior or creature that died in this area.

The door to the underworld appeared but it is different as it was made of sand instead of skulls. The door to the underworld seems to change depending on the area. The door opened and a figure suddenly appeared. The one that Adrian summoned was actually an Anubis but much different to the ones handling Limbo.

The Anubis that Adrian summoned is much bigger and wore golden armor like the other golden warriors. The fierceness is also unmatched as he took out two scimitars from its back. The Anubis immediately jumped towards the enemies that Adrian directed it at as the latter has no time to command it.

"A God Warrior! How is that possible?!" Anipe muttered as she did not expect that a God Warrior will descend onto the battlefield since they are no longer able to come to the world.

"You should keep your eyes on me because I shall take your head today traitor!" Sadiki stated as his large scimitar almost cut off Anipe's neck.

"You are already branding me as a traitor! It seems you already knew what is beneath that pit! Tell me! Who told you!?" Anipe stated as she met the large scimitar with her bare hands.

"Seeing that you are keen on protecting it, it seems you have truly betrayed us and sided with the corrupted one. Is it true?! Has the Shadow of Apophis finally awakened and is gathering strength now?" The High Priestess Bastet asked.

Anipe smiled and took off her nuzzle since she no longer needs to hide her intent. The Goddess Ammit has known of the Shadow of Apophis for a long time and she was the reason why it has awakened. Anipe does not need to reply as she knows that the Shadow of Apophis has long awakened and has been stabilizing its power ever since.

"I do not answer to any of you two because I shall rip your hearts out and eat it!" Anipe shouted as she jumped away from her mount so that it could rampage to its heart's content.

Anipe went straight towards the High Priestess Estet as she was the easiest target of the two. Her mount was sent towards Sadiki so that he cannot help the High Priestess Estet. Just as Anipe's claw like fingers are about to hit the High Priestess Estet, she is suddenly blocked by a mirror.

Anipe's body passed through the mirror and ended up on the other side. The other side of the mirror was Adrian and he grabbed Anipe by the neck to slam her into the flaming inferno.
