Chapter 1451 The Goddess Sekhmet’s Clarity



[The Goddess Sekhmet has regained her right mind.]

[You were able to calm the raging Goddess Sekhmet.]

[The Sun God Ra is expressing his gratefulness to you.]

[You have achieved a great feat. All health and status ailments will be cleansed from you.]

[All skill cooldowns will be reduced by 24 hours.]

[Your core has been regenerated and you can now cast spells normally.]

[Your health can now regenerate back to 100%]

[Your mana can now regenerate back to 100%.]

The Goddess Sekhmet fainted upon having the Spirit of Apophis extracted from her body. The energy that was rising from her body started to die down as well as she is no longer actively trying to push the boundaries of the mortal realm. The diamond scarab also inhibits her own internal energy from rising past the demigod stage.

[You cannot store the Spirit of Apophis in your inventory as it is a living being.]

Adrian wanted to put the Spirit of Apophis in his inventory for safekeeping but that seems to be impossible at this point. The good thing is that there were not many witnesses of what he did which means he can play it out. He decided to give the Spirit of Apophis to the High Priestess Estet as a façade, but he will get it later when other watchful eyes are no longer there.

"Can you guys like transport the Goddess Sekhmet to the Temple of Bastet at least?" Adrian stated as he is now finished with his business.

Cheops immediately moved as he started to say things while the Goddess Sekhmet was asleep. The last thing that the Goddess Sekhmet knew was that it was him that kicked her to the sands. He started to say that it was not him that kicked her but was Champion Equinox.

The other guilds that managed to live the onslaught wanted to send the Goddess Sekhmet to the temple as well, but they were not even allowed to do so. Only the members of the Pantheon Guild were allowed to actually set foot inside of the structure. All they could do was actually hope that the Goddess Sekhmet would at least remember that they participated in regaining her sanity.

A few hours later, the Goddess Sekhmet started opening her eyes as she regained consciousness. She even burned the expensive bed that she was laid onto as she woke up. The High Priestess Estet could only swallow her dismay upon having her own bed become ashes but that was a small price to pay for the forgiveness of the Goddess Sekhmet.

"Greetings, Goddess Sekhmet. I am Estet, a High Priestess of Bastet and her avatar. It is my pleasure to have such an esteemed goddess be physically here in our temple." The High Priestess Estet stated.

"Are you the ones that stopped my rampage? I want to speak to the one called Cheops if I am remembering correctly." The Goddess Sekhmet stated as Cheops suddenly started to sweat.

"Benevolent Goddess Sekhmet, I greet you as the Avatar of Horus." Cheops stated as he bowed with all his might.

"You do not need to worry that much Cheops as I do not hold a grudge even if you did kick me to the ground. You were the one that restored my sanity which is why I am very grateful." The Goddess Sekhmet stated but her face looked fearsome even though she said that she does not take offence.

"Benevolent goddess, it was no…" Cheops stated but Adrian suddenly interjected.

"It was me who separated the Spirit of Apophis from your body. Cheops just held you down which is why I am very grateful. What would have I done if the strong Avatar of Horus did not do such a thing?!" Adrian stated as his acting was on full gear.

"I see. It would make sense that it would be you when your whole body is covered in death energy. Who are you benefactor?" The Goddess Sekhmet stated.

"My name is Equinox, and I am the Champion of the Twin Gods. I want to ask you how the Spirit of Apophis managed to control you." Adrian asked as he knows that is very important information.

The Goddess Sekhmet knew that she must repay her saviors which is why she described how she thought it was possible. Since she was on ice, the Goddess Sekhmet could not fully control her body and soul. She still has control over her soul, but it weakened due to being locked in ice for thousands of years.

The Spirit of Apophis also made use of the long years to slowly get control over the Goddess Sekhmet once it got accustomed to feeding in her energy. The Goddess Sekhmet also described that the Spirit of Apophis started to manipulate some of her memories as well. It even showed her some images of the things outside to tempt it.

The Goddess Sekhmet thought that she would not fall for the tricks of the Spirit of Apophis, but the hold of the serpent was far too great. She did not know but she was slowly influenced throughout the years of being fed on. She was already trapped in an illusion when she was awakened from her long years of being sealed.

"It makes sense since the soul is the core of a being even if they are gods. Manipulating memories using them is the easiest thing once they have access. As expected of the Distorted God Apophis' fragment, it might be small, but it is not to be trifled with despite its size." Adrian stated.

"I am actually surprised that it was only able to achieve something like that despite having thousands of years. One would have been overtaken already but it just means that the Goddess Sekhmet has a very powerful soul." Levin Cloud added.

"Being praised for having a strong soul by beings acknowledged by the Twin Gods is a great praise even for a goddess such as I. I thank all of you once again for helping me break free from the control of the Spirit of Apophis. I must also thank the others as well which is why I ask Cheops to escort me to those that valiantly stood against me." The Goddess Sekhmet stated.

"I will gladly do it if the Goddess Sekhmet asks me of it." Cheops replied as he offered his arm to the Goddess Sekhmet.

The Goddess Sekhmet clutched Cheops arms and even sunk some of her claws in it. She is clearly mad that she was kicked but she was not that mad that she would want to harm Cheops to a heavy degree. She most likely just wanted to torment Cheops while she thanked the people.

The Goddess Sekhmet with an extremely exhausted Cheops as Adrian told her that she must now meet with the Sun God Ra. The Goddess Sekhmet suddenly perked up as she did not expect that the Sun God Ra has truly been revived as that was her lifelong dream. She was the sword of the Sun God Ra and a sword without an owner is merely decoration.

Adrian talked to the High Priestess Estet about relocating the Spirit of Apophis and she agreed. The High Priestess Estet would keep appearances that the fragment is still at her temple though to confuse the enemy. In fact, the Goddess Bastet as well as the God Horus descended on their respective avatars once more to greet the Goddess Sekhmet.

The Goddess Bastet, God Horus and Goddess Sekhmet combined their powers to create a powerful seal on the Spirit of Apophis. They made it so that the Spirit of Apophis would not be detected by Apophis himself unless it is extremely near it. They also created a fake one that radiated a close copy of the Spirit of Apophis.

"The preparations are complete on our end. The Shadow of Apophis will not be able to know the difference unless it is extremely near the temple. Please keep the Spirit of Apophis sealed in the Temple of the Sun as we do not want the serpent to descend." The High Priestess Estet stated as she handed over a golden box to Adrian, but he passed it to Cairo instead.

"You should handle it since you will be the one in charge of protecting it in the Temple of the Sun." Adrian stated as he did not want to carry that burden since he is already full of things he needs to think about.

"Let us now move to the Sun God Ra as I am very excited to meeting him. It is your way of repaying me for the roughhousing earlier." The Goddess Sekhmet stated as she seems to have known of what happened earlier thanks to Cheops.

"It was Cheops that suggested that though as he said that the body of a god is very sturdy." Adrian stated as he just twisted the words that Cheops said before the battle with the Goddess Sekhmet.
