Chapter 148: The Jealous Brother

Chapter 148: The Jealous Brother

-----

Aswan, the ancient city of Swenett, later known as Syene, was, in antiquity, the frontier town of Ancient Egypt facing the south. According to many historians and archeologists, the city of Swenett is supposed to have derived its name from an Egyptian goddess with the same name.

The people of this city had just seen something unbelievable, from a giant golden pyramid hovering over their city and about to blast it all, to the massive monument being kicked away by a single woman, saving everyone from their demise.

BAAAM!

And as the massive pyramid collapsed into the deserts and gained countless cracks, the woman, one of Bing Xue’s Divine Doppelgangers, watched at the scene in silence, opening a golden portal to her Inner Realm, where some of her friends and family emerged.

As this happened inside the pyramid, the panicked crew started rapidly trying to fix the pyramid’s destroyed parts and all the chaos that was happening. A muscular man glanced at the scene in utter disbelief and anger.

“What is this?! How were they able to just... literally kick the damn pyramid?!”

With a furious scream, the man slammed the controller room with his enormous fists, shattering some of the desktop areas and even some of the screens.

His tall, muscular body exuded a slightly golden aura; his bald head and sharp golden eyes glared around nervously, showing most of his bare body except his legs, as he wore loose white pants and golden sandals.

His body was covered in several golden tattoos, and his eyes were painted to resemble the Eye of Horus, showing his high status within the Parallel Earth’s Futuristic Egyptian Society.

“Lord Neheb! Several internal systems have been turned off due to all the internal damage!”

“E-Even with all the repair nanomachines in the ship, it’ll take days to fix completely!”

“We’ve detected several enemies approaching! T-they’re... Huh? Gods?”

“They can’t be gods, even if they have the features of beasts!” Neheb roared angrily, glaring at the screen in front of him. “Dammit! Why did my brother even send me here to begin with? I didn’t even want to chase that unruly brat!”

As the Brother of the Pharaoh groaned angrily, he quickly glared at the assistants by his side, who were running around everywhere.

“What are you even doing?! Prepare the Divine Machines! Is Aker ready?! I’m going out! Without me, you wouldn’t even be able to do a single thing!”

“Y-Yes Lord Neheb!”

The burly man ran across the pyramid, reaching the area where all the machines were stored; dozens of them were flying out of the pyramid to defend it, piloted by specially trained fighters.

Neheb climbed his own Machine, reaching the chest, which opened by his mental command, and sitting inside. He was huge, so the place was slightly cramped for him.

But it did not matter; activating his Golden Bloodline, the man piloted the giant Mechanical God of twenty meters in height, which flew out of the pyramid at lightning speed.

FLASH!

Appearing right in front of Bing Xue’s Divine Doppelganger and the party she had brought here, Neheb confronted them, leading a large fleet of almost a hundred Divine Machines behind him.

With this army alone, he had conquered entire planets before! And yet, were these handful of aliens now going to make him struggle?

Preposterous!

“So this is the Mechanical God that they have in this pyramid?” Bing Xue glanced at the enormous figure.

FLASH!

Bing Xue disappeared on an explosion of particles of light, not without leaving a few protections over even the demons to make them much tougher.

“She’s gone?!” Neheb angrily said. “Where did she...?! Dammit! Not only does she kick my spaceship, but she also brings a pest of demonic beings and leaves?! T-That damn woman!”

Neheb quickly targeted his wrath towards the women in front of him, Fiery Hair and Peperina, as his giant machine rushed forward, swinging his massive lion claws against them.

“I’ll tear you to shreds, invaders!”

“Here he comes, Fiery Hair!”

“OOOH!”

Peperina and Fiery Hair prepare for battle as Neheb’s Mechanical God, Aker, attacks the two of them with its gigantic metallic claws, releasing waves of crimson light with each blow.

Fiery Hair imbued her body with her Aura of Ki and Primal Power, her body immediately being covered in crimson and golden flames, while her hair waved like fire itself. Using her bare fists, she intercepted or even blocked Aker’s blows.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

“W-What?!”

Neheb couldn’t believe his eyes as he saw the cavewoman take on his Mechanical God like it was no problem! Even when the claws were larger than her entire body, she used her small fists to intercept them.

“Hmm! Just a big chunk of metal! Nothing special!”

Fiery Hair smiled, provoking Neheb.

“Only a big chunk of metal?! You dare say such a thing about our gods?!”

Neheb rapidly activated Aker’s special ability; the sunlight reflected into the eye-shaped red jewel mirror, unleashing a giant beam of crimson light.

“Hm?!”

BOOOM!

Fiery Hair protected herself using her arms from the explosive beam, being pushed several meters back but surviving, nonetheless.

“Not so weak anymore...”

Neheb smiled.

“Hah! See?! I can-”

CRAAASH!

But before the brother of the Pharaoh could continue his speech, a giant blazing hammer pummeled Aker down into the burning sands below.
