5th Rated God - Volume 1 Chapter 65 When Even Gods Start To Pray
“Foolish! Who else but I, can keep the key in check!!! Don’t sin anymore that you already have!!!”
“Oh just one… you’re one and only equal.”, Set smiles and continues to point his specter at the key, holding it hostage.
“You don’t mean-”
“You’r mad!!!!”, Ra eye started to flare with fire! His gentle demeanor was contorted with his livid face. He subconsciously let his emotions get the better of him and the crook started to loose control again. Horus who was beside Ra shivered in the fear of never seeing the surpream god this angry.
“You wouldn’t dare, you cannot handle its power!!! You’ll go insane!”, Ra coudnt believe Set would stoop to this level and even risk bring out the worst possible outcome.
“He should come here any minute now…”
……..
VRRRMMMMM~
A lazer light show was currently raining down on our unfortunate nine tailed fox and her companion. Eventually Loki came back to his senses and together fended off Amaterasu’s attacks.
“Ill kill him, I’ll kill him!”, Loki muttered under his breath like a mantra, cursing the stupid phoenix within every breath.
Currently Amaterasu was was attending to her love cursed subordinates. Slowly but surely she purified their clouded minds and regained their sanity. She was just here to harass her detested rival, Ra. She never expected to catch such a big fish like the nine tailed fox, the yokai that caused havoc in her realm. What a unexpected benefit for attacking such a distant realm!
Ra: ….
Loki and the Nine tailed fox where nimbly dodging the light and were in a unfavorable situation. Loki was down a arm and the fox had drained a lot of power to charm the men. They did not excel in direct combat. Not to mention they both underwent that ridiculous trial in the dimension were the key was sealed at. Loki could make due with his ice magic, and blasted various elemental attack by drawing Celtic runes in the air.
Very similar to how Egyptians and their hieroglyphics, it draws upon magical power. The Egyptian hieroglyphics were more of picture while the runes where made entirely of straight lines. For Loki resorted to using magic like a mortal sorcerer, what shame! Unfortunate he had no choice as he was drained, using the runes were time-consuming but it made spells stronger and took less energy. Various collared runes glowed in mid air as Loki laced his attacks.
“Argh!”, while the two were dodging the blinding light, a tear in space appeared behind the fox. The unstableness of space was starting to create miniature black holes that devoured anything it touched.
Like a vacuum it took a chunk of flesh from one of her tails. Her silver white fur was stained red. The sphinx who was still in her grasp of her tails was also almost, nearly taken as well!
The fox: Should I just ditch this guy?
The sphinx: Shakes head furiously
Just as dire things were perspiring, shivers took over the nine tailed fox’s body. Her fur stood on end, and her instinct warned her. She felt a flow of power surging from her very being. The previous evil aura that Amaterasu purified cloaked her body again. In fact it was several times thicker!!!
As if the universe of sun and desert wasn’t bright enough as it already was, with 2 suns shining over everyone, it was suddenly plunged into dimness.
Mortals: Why is it all dark again!?!?!? Ra have mercy!!!
Ra: It isn’t me this time….
A veil of unease washed through everyone, many started to shiver in fear. Especially the mortals, their primordial instinct told them something fearsome was coming.
“Such evil energy!!!”, exclaims the fox on the other hand, while she clenches her claws in delight. Her tails wiggled spiritly. She hurried to intake the air and absorb the evil energy that served as nutrients to her power.
A giant serpent slithered from a crack of space. Its reptilian eyes glowed in the darkness within the other side of the portal. One moments everyone could only see its ominous eyes, the next its entire body was rushing out entangling the universe. In a flash, countless meters of its body spearhead by its gaping mouth, slithered aground the universe unobstructed. Its long thick body encompassed the universe like a belt. It circled it body around several times in various paths that made it look like a tangle of yarn.
In its wake it swallowed various abandoned world, moons, and other debris floating in space. The planets he avoided were protected by particular strong barriers, gods and their champions. But that did stop it from being like a boa constrictor holding its prey in its grasp, it telling everyone it that it could strike anytime .
Of its enormous serpent body, many mortals could see various parts of its coiling figure in the sky. Wiggling and encompassing various planets and words. It body blocked the the sun and casted a pit black shadow on the planets. Even the Nut the goddess of the sky felt strangled as the serpent slithered though her territory. The sky unintentionally stopped shaking as well due to Apophis’s presence!
“So that Ra’s mortal enemy… That serpent would give my child, Jrmungandr, a run for its money.” thought Loki.
But in fact it couldn’t even compare. That was just how powerful it was. He noticed that the barrage of light was fading in power and saw that the fox was meditating. He did owe her, so he erected barriers to protect her. A enormous ice dome covered their heads. The light that attacked them was weakened but still melted a chunk off the ice dome. Loki simply stood there to channel his power into his spell and repaired the damaged spots.
“This lucky vixen…”
He could see aura and power of the fox rising. She managed to grasped a opportunity in such a unlucky situation! Loki may be deceitful and cunning, but his origin fell more along to the unevil side, so he was not compatible enough to absorb the evil energy.
“Such a pity…”, laminated Loki as he clutched his severed arm. If only he could absorb some, his arm may even be healed back. His wound was caused by the god killing wolf, Fenrir, the wounds its fangs could inflict on gods is not ordinary. He may need the sap of Yggdrasil and a few apples of immortality. He just had to figure out how to acquire them…
Legend had it that to maintain their immortality the norse gods ate magical apples. And Yggdrasil is the world tree that the norse god built their universe upon. (Perhaps our mc will be able to meet such mystics…)
Amaterasu looked in shock as she stared at the monsterrous serpent. She felt that it was even stronger than the several headed serpent her brother fought and killed, Orochi! She felt that Apophis was her natural enemy, a enemy of light.
“Was this the monster that old man been fighting?”, Amaterasu was well informed with Ra’s mortal enemy as well as some working of the Egyptian realm.
“He fights with THAT on a daily bases?!?!”, she started to feel a little inferior as well as respectful to her rival, not that she would ever show it.
Suddenly then Apophis stoped in its tracks and pointed it’s enormous head at something. Finally stoping, many could finally see that its figure was like that of a cobra. Its imposing hood could cover and light and its body was coated with black scales. Many could see its dark red underbelly. The direction it looked at seemed to be at the sun, the center of the universe. Apophis’s instinct drove it to devour the light, the sun, and kill Ra.
“Hmmm? Why are there 2 suns, hisssssss?”, thought Apophis. But it didn’t stop it from slithering towards one of them.
“You cant be serious-“, Amaterasu hurried to recall her origin of worship in alarm.
Apophis lunges at the two sun, seemly undecided which it wanted to devour. Its eyes blinked and its forked tongue flickered as it it was tasting the air.
“Shimate!!!!!!!”, it was too late to recall her sun, she has to bet that it might take Ra’s sun instead!
“NOOOOO!!!!”, Ra was preoccupied with the key and the sudden intrusion of Apophis was at the worst timing!!! He couldn’t defend his source of worship in time!!!
Ra: Please don’t me, please don’t be me….
Amaterasu: Please don’t me, please don’t be me….
Both sun deities prayed, but who else is there to pray to? They were the highest power in all the universes.
Apophis made his choice and twirled his evil body around a sun and its jaw unhooked! Like a pelican it devoured a sun! The sun’s light was engulfed within a abyss in the serpents mouth. It still shone fiercely even when engulfed in the serpents body its light still be seen in its interior of its body.
Dark forces acted like digestive juices corroded the sun. A humongous glowing bulge could be seen within the serpents throat. Apophis struggled to destroy the sun. Its inside started to be shred and purified with holy powers. It burned and inflicted a unimaginable pain on it, but it persisted and tried to swallow down the mass of light. Eventually the glowing bulge was slowly growing smaller and smaller, and dimmer and dimmer.
Gulp~
In the mortals view it looked like a eclipse was happening as Apophis swallowed the sun. Many started to rightfully freak out.
Legend has it that though the battles of Ra and Apophis, should there be a eclipse it signified Apophis prevailing over Ra as he attacked him while on his boat ride where he takes on different form like the sun.
“Nooooo the dark days are upon us!!!”
“Lord Ra must prevail!”
“Oh, lord Horus protect us!!!”
“Isis grant us your blessing!”
In times of need mortals turn to gods and a influx of faith was generated. Many names of gods were called and prayed to. The gods felt this and were glad for the faith, but there wasn’t any thing they could do!
Amaterasu spits out blood. Her retainers rushed to her side and held her up. Her face trend grey and her lips blue. Her sun was whipped out!!! Ra was spared and she took the bullet!!!
Amaterasu: DAME ITTTTT!!!
Ra: Lucky! Get wrecked!!!! This woman finally had her use as a diversion!
While Ra was embracing in Schadenfreude, it was still not a good thing for Apophis to swallow Amaterasu’s sun. It would no doubt gain quite a bit of power and faith directed at it.
Seeing the apocalyptic monster, Set was delighted, it couldn’t have arrived at a better time! With the fail in hand he rushed to meet with Apophis.
