Chapter 1356 Followers Of Apophis

"Everything is for our LORD!" The followers of Apophis shouted as the markings on their bodies suddenly glowed.

The glowing tattoo of the Distorted God Apophis is not a product of human intervention. It is a mark that they are followers of the Distorted God Apophis. It can only manifest once they ingest a part of the Distorted God Apophis.

The process of manifesting this mark is also very life threatening as only half of the mortal lives that ingest a part of a god or goddess can live. The number might be big for half but only a small fraction of those that live can live normally after that. Some perish in just a few years as their bodies will reject the foreign substance of a god or goddess.

A mortal body cannot easily accept even a speck of hair from a god or goddess because every fiber of a god's being contains divinity. One would need to have the ability to absorb divinity without a problem or be extremely compatible with the divine object that they are ingesting.

One could say that the ten followers of Apophis that showed up near the Temple of the Sun might be the only ones left after a thousand sacrificed lives. They will also feel that their whole body is being ripped apart or getting slashed due to the effects of the divine substance. The followers of Apophis are only standing due to the fact that they have become numbed or used to the pain.

The followers of Apophis did not care about the constant pain that they are experiencing as some became addicted to the feeling. The markings on their bodies suddenly bulged as their bodies started to swell. The followers of Apophis kept rejoicing at their god while this was happening as they used every air that their lungs could generate for their praise.

Adrian saw this and thought that the followers of Apophis were strengthening the monster horde, but they were not. The followers of Apophis suddenly bulged until they became something no longer resembling a human. They reached three times their size and all of their bodies popped.

The followers of Apophis died on the spot as all of their body matter exploded around the area where they died. The only thing that became strange is the fact that their body matter became black masses of unknown origins. These black masses started pulsing and coming towards each other I a bizarre manner.

When all of the black mass have gathered towards each other, a powerful energy is released from the black mass. The dead bodies of the monsters that have been defeated are suddenly getting sucked into this black mass as if it was a vacuum. Adrian saw this and his instincts suddenly kicked as he knew that this is not something that should happen.

Adrian did not only feel a dreadful energy from the black mass but also divine energy. He did not think it was possible because the western gods need a vessel in order to descend but what if a Distorted Western God is different. The western gods all describe Apophis as a gigantic serpent capable of devouring worlds.

"Everyone! Focus on the black mass that is rising. Do not skimp out on the spells! The Distorted God Apophis is trying to descend!" Adrian shouted as he could feel the energy from above pour down on the black mass.

Adrian warned them but it was already too late as half of the descent has been completed when the followers of Apophis sacrificed their life. If he really wanted to stop the descent then he should have killed the followers of Apophis the moment they appeared. The black mass started growing to almost the size of the Shadow of Apophis.

The black mass is not yet satiated with just the bodies of the monsters that have died as it also started gaining tentacles that captured the ones that are alive. Monsters that are under the control of the Shadow of Apophis did not even bother fighting for their lives as they cannot do so. Only a quarter of the living monster horde is left while the rest became food for the black mass.

The black mass that did not have shape started to become a long shape that is likened to a serpent. The scales were the first to appear and soon the head of a serpent is present. The next thing that they knew is that a powerful hiss echoed in the area.

The powerful hiss made those that were not protected suddenly lose their minds but the Sun God Ra created a powerful defensive shield to protect the Temple of the Sun. The ones that were affected are those that were outside of it but Adrian immediately claimed them using the mirror. Levin Cloud immediately begun treatment to those that were affected by the powerful hiss of the descended Distorted God Apophis or at least a part of it.

"To think that we would meet again, Sun God Ra." The eerie voice of the Distorted God Apophis stated. Its voice felt like someone was licking the inside of your ear with a wet damp towel. There was also a type of seductive tone in the voice making one want to hear it but it will only poison their minds.

"If you summoned a part of you here when you are at battle with my son then it seems that you are confident of winning!" The Sun God Ra stated as it was already night which means the God Seth has started battle with the Distorted God Apophis in the divine realm.

"Your son might be a powerful god but all he can do is detain me or hurt me a little bit. He cannot do great damage just like you back then. I remember you keeping me detained in your own divine realm at least half of me, anyway.

This time, you will not have the aid of the other primordial gods as only two remain and they are holding the integrity of this universe which is why they cannot help you. Even if they send their envoy and champion to you, they will not be able to defeat me. A distorted god with the strength of numerous Primordial Gods." The Distorted God Apophis stated.

The Sun God Ra could not say anything as the words of the Distorted God Apophis is true. The fact that half of it cannot be destroyed by the Sun God Ra even back then means that the Distorted God Apophis is basically unable to truly die.

"Back then, you also had the help of the Asmodians but they are no longer alive. They were the reason why parts of me became scattered and the only reason why you could truly face me. I might have been born from your shadow but I evolved beyond that the day I crossed the Void." The Distorted God Apophis stated.

"Words are cheap, snake! You will perish when I regain my power back!" The Sun God Ra stated as he suddenly activated the Sun Disk.

The Sun Disk glowed in a powerful light that illuminated the dark sky. It felt like it was the daytime when it should be night. A powerful sun energy came from the sun disk, but it needs time to charge. The Sun God Ra sent the Pantheon guild a telepathic message that they should protect him while he charges the spell.

Once the Sun God Ra completes the spell then he can use it to eradicate the descended Distorted God Apophis. The body that the Distorted God Apophis is also not stable as the sacrifices for it to descend are not enough since its real body is large. The Distorted God Apophis knew this as it is already familiar with how the Sun God Ra fights.

The large body of the Distorted God Apophis suddenly slid forward at lighting speed which is shocking for its large body. The Pantheon Guild knew that the Sun God Ra will be in danger if the Distorted God Apophis gets near them.

"The fact that it descended means it is afraid of the Sun God Ra regaining his power. Defend the Sun God Ra with all your might! Be careful of the other monsters that are charging as well." Adrian stated as he commanded all of the guild members.

Adrian then manifested all the mirrors that he created and told the guild members to make it rain. The vanguard troop of the guild members charged towards the Distorted God Apophis while the mage and ranger unit released their skills on the mirror. Adrian redirected their attacks to hit the incoming Distorted God Apophis in order to slow down its charge.

The Distorted God Apophis did not take the sudden attacks kindly and destroyed the mirrors with a swoop of its tail. Adrian tried to absorb the impact of the damage, but he stopped when he coughed blood with just one mirror.
