"Ah… Get out of my head!"
Isis was instantly horrified, but no matter if she tried to release her divine power, or cover her ears with her hands, or painfully beat her head, she couldn't dispel the lingering voice in her mind.
"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of one of the Nine Pillars Gods, you haven't been completely corrupted by my Violet Fire even after being hit by it."
The cloud that Tzeentch had transformed into slowly flew to Isis's side, its massive eyeball continuously scrutinizing her.
Isis, at this moment, was clutching her head tightly, fighting against the voice that had invaded her consciousness, completely unaware that the true enemy was already approaching her.
The Violet Fire that Tzeentch mentioned was a very powerful control magic.
Anyone hit by the Violet Fire, unless they possessed an unyielding will, would be directly swallowed into the Warp, thus becoming a puppet to be manipulated by Tzeentch at will.
"Interesting, I really want to see how long you can last..."
As he spoke, the cloud that Tzeentch had transformed into had already changed into the shape of a giant hand, then held Isis, whose mind was in chaos, and flew back into the Warp Rift.
As the Lord of Change who manipulated fate and planned strategies, Tzeentch had always disliked direct combat on the battlefield... What's more, this time it was that dog Khorne who had voluntarily volunteered to be the vanguard.
And he kept saying he wanted to return a favor?
Brainless idiot, you couldn't possibly think I sent my followers to put so many Egyptian Gods into the Warp for you to devour just to help you all improve your strength, could you?
No way?
No way?
Please, does your dog face have to be so big?
I clearly sacrificed the opportunity to devour those high-level souls alone to help the Master break the situation, okay?
Hey, see?
As expected, in the end, it was I, Tzeentch, who single-handedly supported the future of the entire Warp!
If anyone dares to say my plan is doomed to fail again, I will absolutely not let them off.
But since that dog head... ahem, Khorne, volunteered, what else could Tzeentch do?
Of course, satisfy him!
After all, with a powerful thug at the front, he would have ample time to calculate... oh no, to plan the overall situation!
However, through the recent exchange, Tzeentch had roughly figured out the general foundation of the Egyptian Pantheon... As the Master said, the Egyptian Pantheon was at the bottom of all pantheons.
Just looking at the strength of Isis, a member of the Nine Pillars Gods, she was far inferior to Odin, the God King of the Asgard Pantheon, by more than a little!
According to Tzeentch's current calculations, to conquer this dimension, they didn't even need all four of them to act simultaneously; at most, only two would be enough to flatten the entire Egyptian Pantheon.
However, considering the Master's emphasis on this dimensional war, Tzeentch still decided to proceed according to the original plan... Yes, the most stable plan!
"My Lord Mother?!"
On the city wall, when Horus saw his mother being captured by the enemy and dragged into that dimensional rift through his All-Seeing Eye, he could no longer remain calm.
He immediately transformed, his tall and sturdy figure instantly covered by a layer of golden armor, and a pair of massive golden wings grew from his back.
Just like Thor's Mjolnir, this specially enchanted golden armor could maximize the divine power within Horus.
Before soaring into the sky, Horus instructed the God's Servants behind him: "Immediately inform my father that the situation has changed, there is more than one enemy Commander, and all the Nine Pillars Gods must unite to defeat them!"
With that, he suddenly flapped his wings, his massive figure shooting straight into the sky, rapidly flying towards the direction of the Warp Rift.
At the same time, the four gods who had always stood behind Horus on the city wall also followed closely, leaping directly off the wall.
They were Horus's four sons, the gods specifically responsible for managing the "four jars" of the dead.
And those four jars contained the deceased's stomach, intestines, lungs, and liver, respectively!
Among them, the one with a normal human appearance was Imset, who was in charge of the jar containing the liver, usually placed in the south.
The one with a baboon's head was Hapy, who was in charge of the jar containing the lungs, usually placed in the north.
The one with a jackal's head was Duamutef, who was in charge of the jar containing the stomach, usually placed in the east.
The one with a falcon's head was Qebehsenuef, who was in charge of the jar containing the intestines, usually placed in the west.
The four divine sons completely ignored the warring factions around them, each rushing forward like heavy armored tanks, following directly behind Horus.
But just then.
Khorne, who had been sitting on the Brass Throne, slowly stood up, reached out and pulled a blood-colored greatsword, over forty meters long, from Greater Daemon Shou Lao's mouth, and swung it through the air towards Horus's direction.
Swish—
A ear-splitting roar echoed in the air, and a crescent-shaped air slash flew out.
Bang—
Horus, flying rapidly in the sky, had no time to dodge, and his golden figure was directly blasted far away, then heavily smashed into the city wall of Sun City, causing a large section to collapse.
"My Lord Father?!"
Horus's four sons, seeing their father's fate unknown, immediately charged furiously towards Khorne, but in the next second, the heads of Imset and Hapy, who were at the very front, were severed from their bodies.
The one who struck was none other than Great Demon Brias.
His speed was so fast that neither Imset nor Hapy could see when he had attacked...
And Duamutef and Qebehsenuef were also unable to escape their fate.
In just a moment of distraction, their entire bodies were directly swallowed by Greater Daemon Shou Lao and Greater Daemon Amit, the two demon pets.
"Very good, the plan is complete..."
Khorne leaned on his greatsword, sat back on the Brass Throne, and murmured, "If Tzeentch wasn't wrong, after dealing with these four brats, we should now be able to successfully kill that so-called God King, right?"
That's right, Khorne's true purpose in deliberately letting Isis go just now was actually to lure and kill Horus's four sons.
Because not only were they the gods in charge of the jars containing the internal organs of the dead, but they were also the Guardians of Osiris, the God of Vengeance!
According to Tzeentch's speculation, if they weren't eliminated first, then theoretically, no matter how severe the injuries Osiris's body sustained, it could recover almost infinitely.
Originally, Khorne thought it would take a lot of time to lure these four precious sons out of the city, but who would have thought that these four filial sons would easily rush out on their own...
So, all he had to do next was quietly wait here for Osiris, the God of Vengeance, to deliver himself.
"You can start."
Khorne nodded to Bruise, who immediately understood, then pointed his longsword towards the city gate and roared:
"Target the city gate, charge!!!"
"Kill!!!"
All the Warp demons let out a battle cry in unison, then launched an incredibly fierce assault towards the city gate of Sun City.
The Celestial Heliopolis army, which had been struggling to hold on, was instantly suppressed, unable to lift their heads, suffering heavy casualties.
The entire battle line became precarious, looking like it could completely collapse at any moment.
"Damn it, how did these demons get stronger?"
The miscellaneous gods in the ranks who were responsible for commanding the battle and leading the charge also felt the pressure double. They had never seen such fierce enemies, who fought more bravely and became stronger the more they fought?
The most crucial thing was that even Horus, one of the Nine Pillars Gods, was no match for the enemy's Commander, being blasted away by a single strike, let alone them.
Thus, some gods couldn't help but once again have thoughts of retreating.
But soon their attention was drawn by Brias, Shou Lao, and Amit, the three Great Demons.
With the full-scale assault, this time, even Bruise, the Commander, joined the battle.
The Ram God Khnum, who was leading the charge, was the first to suffer. He didn't even have time to react before, at the moment he saw Bruise, he was directly cut in half by this powerful being who had first transformed from a Seraph to a Fallen Angel, and then ascended to a Great Demon.
The difference in combat power between the two was not insignificant.
And Great Demon Brias's target was not these miscellaneous gods, but Horus, who had just been blasted away by his Master, Khorne.
He knew very well that although that blow was powerful, it was not enough to directly kill the opponent.
Now he could use Horus to test his current strength.
As for Greater Daemon Shou Lao and Greater Daemon Amit, whose intelligence was relatively lower, their objectives were relatively simpler: to clear all obstacles on their Master's path.
Thus, they naturally focused their attention on those miscellaneous gods who were slightly stronger.
A battle with no suspense thus began.
"You damned demons, I will make you Payback!!!"
A heart-wrenching roar came from the collapsed city wall, and then Horus's figure emerged from the dust.
However, at this moment, he looked much more disheveled compared to his composed appearance before the battle. His head and the golden armor were covered in dust, and there was a large dent on his chest, with golden blood constantly dripping from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating he was severely injured by Khorne's earlier long-range strike.
"How about we play?"
Great Demon Brias flapped a pair of dark Angel wings, slowly descending in front of Horus, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Get lost, minion! I am a dignified Nine Pillars God! The one I'm looking for is your Master!"
Horus, feeling underestimated, instantly became like an enraged bull, fiercely activating his divine power, his body erupting with violent golden light, and directly blasted towards Great Demon Brias.
However, Great Demon Brias on the opposite side showed no intention of dodging, merely spreading his dark wings behind him, calmly blocking in front of him like a shield.
Bang—
Accompanied by a dull thud, the golden light dissipated, and the figure of the Fallen Angel Great Demon gradually emerged from the vanishing light and Shadow.
"Is that all?"
Great Demon Brias casually flapped his wings a few times, showing no signs of injury, a sneer of disdain appearing on his face as he mercilessly mocked:
"If the Nine Pillars Gods are only this strong, then my Master doesn't even need to act; I alone can destroy all of you!"
"Damn it, how dare a mere dog of a Loki despise the Nine Pillars Gods? Die!"
The enraged Horus stopped talking nonsense, activated his divine power, his ten fingers instantly transforming into ten sharp eagle claws, and with a roar, he pounced towards Great Demon Brias.
He wanted to tear the opponent to shreds with his own hands to vent his hatred!
Great Demon Brias, seeing this, calmly flapped his wings and flew into the sky.
He wasn't afraid, but simply wanted to defeat Horus under the most advantageous conditions for him... After all, besides the title of God of Vengeance, the opponent also had the aliases of Eagle God and God of Sky.
This showed that Horus's greatest strength was aerial combat!
"He actually fled into the air, simply seeking his own death!"
A ferocious smile appeared on Horus's face, and then his golden wings behind him violently vibrated, his figure shooting out like an arrow from a bowstring.
Immediately, two figures, one golden and one black, began to entangle in the air.
... ...
Meanwhile.
Inside Sun City, in Osiris's temple.
"My Lord God King, something is wrong, My Lord Isis has been captured by the enemy..."
A priest ran into the main hall in a panic, roughly recounting what he had seen and heard.
"What?"
Osiris immediately felt uneasy. Isis was his wife, so no one in the entire Celestial Heliopolis understood Isis's strength better than he did.
It was no exaggeration to say that Isis was the most powerful magic user among the four children of Geb, the God of Earth, and Nut, the God of Sky.
Among the currently surviving Nine Pillars Gods, no one could compare to her.
Yet the enemy was able to capture her so easily, which indicated that the opponent's strength was superior to Isis's.
It seemed that this invasion was far from as simple as it appeared on the surface.
