"Damn it, don't let those Pink Horrors cut off our retreat… otherwise, we'll be caught between a rock and a hard place!"
The ram-headed Egyptian God, while wielding his staff to fend off the fierce attacks of two Khorne Heralds from the front, loudly ordered the surrounding Heavenly Realm Warriors.
The Heavenly Realm Warriors, snapping out of their daze, quickly charged towards the Pink Horrors, while the ranged warriors on the city wall also prioritized focusing fire on these pink demons who were casting magic flames.
Before long, the Pink Horrors near the city gate, who were recklessly casting magic flames, fell to the ground one after another under the concentrated attacks.
However, for these strange Warp creatures, death was by no means the end of their lives.
Those Pink Horrors whose heads were not blown off on the spot were still letting out crazy laughter before they died.
Then their plump, pink bodies automatically decomposed into a swirling magical essence, like a colorful jelly, shimmering with light.
Then, under the bewildered gazes of the Heavenly Realm Warriors, "bang, bang, bang" they burst into smaller, deep-blue-skinned Blue Horrors.
These malicious little demons, though unable to use magic flames like the Pink Horrors, possessed astonishing speed.
As soon as they were born, they eagerly brandished the sharp bone blades in their hands and pounced on the Heavenly Realm Warriors opposite them, who had not yet recovered from their shock.
They began to madly reap all life in front of them.
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
The surrounding Heavenly Realm Warriors were dumbfounded. What in the world were these things? Why were there more of them the more they killed?
However, compared to the Pink Horrors, who could cast "touch-and-die" magic flames, the threat posed by these Blue Horrors, who only used bone blades for close-quarters combat, was clearly smaller in the eyes of the Heavenly Realm Warriors.
So, after a brief moment of surprise, they swept clean all the Blue Horrors in front of the city gate with overwhelming force.
However, just as they let out a long sigh of relief, thinking they had finally stabilized the situation, the same anomaly reappeared!
From within the corpses of those Blue Horrors, two even smaller yellow Horrors split out.
They looked like burning yellow flames, constantly emitting a suffocating smell of sulfur from their entire bodies.
Upon appearing, the Sulfur Horrors began to wave their arms, haphazardly throwing clusters of foul-smelling greenish-yellow fireballs at the nearby Heavenly Realm Warriors.
"Damn it, what are these things again?"
Upon seeing this, the ram-headed God's eyes narrowed, and a bad premonition arose in his heart. He quickly shouted a warning: "Cough, cough, cough, everyone be careful, don't get hit by those fireballs…"
But he was still a step too slow, and the next second, screams rose one after another from all around.
"Ah, help me!!"
"The flesh on my arm… damn it, why won't these flames go out?"
The Heavenly Realm Warriors who were unfortunately hit by the greenish-yellow fireballs immediately developed large patches of festering rotten flesh, which dropped off with every twist of their bodies.
Finally, amidst desperate wails, they were burned alive into a pile of indescribable rotten flesh, their souls returning to the Warp.
Soon, the area in front of the city gate was enveloped in a large cloud of thick, foul-smelling smoke.
The Heavenly Realm Warriors, who had no desire to fight, covered their mouths and noses and quickly retreated into the distance before completely losing their way.
As for the slow-reacting unfortunates, they were either knocked out by the pungent sulfur smell or ambushed and killed by the hidden Sulfur Horrors.
The defensive line, which had been painstakingly stabilized in front of the city gate, once again fell into endless chaos with the appearance of a large number of Sulfur Horrors.
The foul-smelling smoke, comparable to biological weapons, not only obscured the vision of the soldiers on the city wall but also made them dizzy.
"Ohhs——"
"Ahhs——"
The strange cackles occasionally emanating from the smoke, and the endless, shrill screams of the Heavenly Realm Warriors, further accelerated the collapse of the Heavenly Realm army, directly terrifying those less resolute Heavenly Realm Warriors into a rout.
Although the Heavenly Realm Warriors had an absolute numerical advantage, their combat strength was actually quite ordinary; they were merely two to three times stronger in physique than ordinary humans.
Their overall strength was even inferior to the Heavenly Palace Guards of Asgard, so the battle had not long begun before they were beaten back steadily by the brutal offensive of the Warp demons.
"Nehbet, take your people and go help Khnum… You must eliminate all those fire-starting bastards on the other side!"
Horus, a bit impatient, raised his hand and pointed to the fiercely firing Tzeentch Fire Daemon Legion in the distance, then turned to a female God with a vulture's head behind him and ordered.
Only by first clearing out the source of the chaos could they hope to stabilize the situation again.
"Yes."
The Vulture Goddess, named Nehbet, immediately flapped her dark wings and soared into the sky, leading a group of Heavenly Realm Warriors transformed into giant vultures, and rapidly charged towards the Tzeentch Fire Daemon Legion in the distance, who were continuously releasing magic flames.
"Hmph, truly overestimating themselves."
Upon seeing this, Great Demon Brias couldn't help but reveal a disdainful sneer on his face, then ordered the Tzeentch Screamer Legion and Slaanesh Chaos Fury Legion, who had been hovering above the battlefield but had not yet joined the fray:
"Go tear those heretics to shreds!"
In an instant, the vast, dark flying demon forces poured out, colliding with the oncoming Vulture Legion in a few breaths.
As the Screamers swept across the battlefield from above, their tails would emit a dazzling brilliance, and from their mouths, they would unleash terrifying shrieks that permeated the entire battlefield, enough to pierce through fragile souls.
And this… was precisely the origin of their name!
"Roar——"
With a dragon's roar, Great Demon Shou Lao, who had been prostrating before Khorne, suddenly soared into the sky with his massive dragon body, at some unknown moment.
He opened his huge mouth and spat out a stream of dark psychic energy with a decaying aura towards the Vulture Goddess Nehbet.
Bang—
Caught off guard, the psychic Impact struck Nehbet directly in the chest, sending her flying far backward. But before she could flap her wings to regain her balance, Great Demon Shou Lao had already rapidly approached, then opened his gaping maw and, with a "crunch," directly swallowed her upper body.
…
prestige points +888, +888, +888…
Detected collectable high-level soul, Warp soul count +1
Detected collectable soul, Warp soul count +1, +1, +1…
…
After easily killing a minor God, Great Demon Shou Lao returned to prostrate himself before the Brass Throne, losing interest.
The enemy was too weak, so much so that he had no interest in fighting.
And after Nehbet's death, the Vulture Legion, which had just been so aggressive, immediately lost morale and fell into chaos.
They were originally no match for the Screamers and Chaos Furies.
Now, they were directly reduced to lambs awaiting slaughter, and it wouldn't be long before they were completely annihilated.
"Damn it, how can the strength of these demon leaders be so powerful?"
Seeing one of their Gods killed, the other Gods, who were fighting fiercely, began to retreat in their hearts.
But just then, a pale blue figure suddenly flew out from Sun City, with a pair of huge golden wings on her back. It was none other than Isis, the God of Life, magic, Marriage, and Fertility, one of the Nine Pillars Gods.
She was also the mother of Horus, the God of Vengeance.
Isis hovered above the battlefield, then activated all her divine power, spreading her arms and pushing outward with force.
Whoosh—
A powerful magical storm, like a hurricane, immediately swept out.
It directly blew away the Screamers and Chaos Furies who were surrounding and killing the Vulture Legion in the sky.
Of course, the remaining Vulture Warriors were also blown away… after all, this attack was indiscriminate!
And the large expanse of sulfur smoke covering the front of the city gate was also completely purged by this powerful magic storm, revealing the figures of the Sulfur Horrors who were joyfully bouncing and singing mocking songs around the corpses of the Heavenly Realm Warriors!
Zzzzzzzz—
Crackling—
The figure in the sky once again released powerful divine power, and bolts of lightning, like divine punishment, descended from the heavens, directly striking the Sulfur Horrors in front of the city gate into charcoal.
"It's Isis, the God of magic!!"
"Great, it looks like the Nine Pillars Gods are finally going to enter the fray…"
"As long as the Nine Pillars Gods are here, Celestial Heliopolis will never fall!!"
The morale-boosted Heavenly Realm Warriors, led by the Ram God Khnum, launched a new round of offensive against the Warp demon army.
"Mother My Lord? Why are you here?!"
Horus looked at Isis in the sky and asked, somewhat puzzled.
As one of the most powerful Nine Pillars Gods in the Egyptian Pantheon, she shouldn't have entered the fray so quickly.
Normally, Horus would only summon the other Nine Pillars Gods to deliver the crucial killing blow after gauging the strength of the enemy's "King."
"Our people should not die in such meaningless slaughter…"
Isis looked at the Heavenly Realm Warriors constantly dying on the battlefield, and a hint of unbearable pain flashed across her face. However, this time she did not continue to attack the enemy, but instead fixed her gaze on the huge Warp Rift in the distance, which seemed to span between heaven and earth.
"I will find a way to close that dimensional passage, which will cut off the enemy's retreat and allow us to capture them all in one fell swoop!!"
With that, Isis flapped her golden wings and rapidly flew towards the Warp Rift in the distance.
"Master, should I go stop that woman…?"
Brias's eyes narrowed, his sharp gaze directly fixed on Isis. Although the opponent was one of the Nine Pillars Gods, he was not far behind.
One must know that before becoming a Fallen Angel, Brias was one of the strongest Seraph in [Heaven].
What's more, he had now undergone Khorne's transformation, elevating him to a Great Demon with Khorne's Will, his strength far surpassing what it was before.
So he really wanted to test what level his current combat power could reach.
"Don't mind her, someone over there will naturally take care of her."
Khorne said lazily. It was clear that he didn't put Isis in his eyes at all. Instead, it was Horus, standing on the city wall in the distance and commanding the battle, who slightly piqued his interest.
"Huh? Those demons didn't stop my actions?"
Isis, who had successfully flown over the battlefield, felt a wave of doubt. Based on the enemy's performance since the start of the battle, they shouldn't have been unable to guess what she intended to do next, right?
But if that was the case, then why didn't they intercept her?
Among those powerful demon generals, two clearly possessed the ability to fly?
However, time was short, and Isis had no time to think deeply. She simply assumed that the enemy was too preoccupied to care, so she accelerated her wing beats and, in a few breaths, arrived near the Warp Rift.
"Arthur Harrow, so it was you, traitor, who caused this!!"
When Isis recognized Arthur Harrow among the two human mages who were continuously casting spells on either side of the Warp Rift, she immediately understood why these Warp demons had suddenly appeared in Celestial Heliopolis.
It must have been this traitor who forcibly entered Celestial Heliopolis through the Golden Bridge of the Path of the Gods, and then opened this dimensional passage from within.
Yes, it must be so!
"It seems that by killing these two human mages, I can forcibly close this dimensional passage, right?"
Having made up her mind, Isis immediately unleashed her divine power, releasing two crackling pillars of lightning from her palms, which blasted towards Arthur Harrow and Trevor Slattery below.
However, just as the lightning pillars, as thick as buckets, were about to strike the two, a constantly shifting cloud suddenly flew out from the Warp Rift, blocking their path.
The two lightning pillars struck the cloud, but were like a stone sinking into the sea, not causing any ripples whatsoever.
Whoosh—
A giant eye suddenly appeared on the cloud, and then a purple magic arrow shot out from its pupil, which glowed with blue flames.
Time seemed to stop at that instant, so much so that Isis, hovering in mid-air, clearly wanted to dodge, but her body was firmly locked in place.
The next second, the purple magic arrow struck Isis directly in the chest, then disappeared.
Isis, regaining her ability to move, quickly looked down to check the injury on her chest, but found everything perfectly intact.
"What's going on? Was that just an illusion?"
Just as Isis was feeling uncertain, a seductive voice suddenly echoed in her mind, then began to whisper continuously to her consciousness.
