Whoosh—
Khonshu was not to be outdone; his figure instantly transformed into a wisp of smoke, then reappeared from Amit's blind spot above her head, preparing to deliver a fatal blow with his crescent-shaped staff.
But to everyone's surprise, Amit seemed to have eyes in the back of her head, directly using her thick tail to tightly coil around him, then, after a violent thrashing on the ground, slammed him heavily against the opposite wall.
Although Amit had been sealed for two thousand years and her power had not yet fully recovered, under Arthur Harrow's efforts, she possessed many loyal followers.
Therefore, after being released, the power she could wield was still far greater than that of Khonshu, who was a lone wolf.
What's more, Khonshu was not her opponent even when they were originally in Celestial Heliopolis.
"Khonshu, if you kneel and beg for my mercy now, I will spare you this once."
"Never," Khonshu struggled to his feet, roaring, "I would rather be pulverized than beg for your mercy… Don't forget, I am the God of Night!"
However, in the next second, his figure vanished into a wisp of smoke.
God of Night?
Is that all?
I think you should be called the God of Escape!
"Let's go, I believe he will appear again."
Amit's face showed a hint of disdain, "Next, let us begin purifying the sinful souls, starting from Cairo… and then the next step will be the entire World!"
Arthur Harrow slowly bowed his head and said devoutly, "My goddess, everything shall be according to your will."
But from an angle no one could see, the Flame of Change on his forehead, symbolizing Tzeentch, flickered with a blue light inadvertently, and then concealed itself again.
The show… is finally about to begin!
…
Ten minutes later.
Under Amit's instruction, Arthur Harrow successfully climbed to the top of the Khufu Pyramid, gazed at the brightly lit city in the distance, and slowly raised the double-headed crocodile staff in his hand.
"Followers of Amit, in the name of the great Goddess, I command all believers in Cairo to begin purifying the sinful souls around you…"
As his words fell, the front end of the double-headed crocodile staff instantly erupted with an incredibly powerful purple force, instantly adorning the night sky of the entire area in purple.
At this moment, those believers of Amit in the city had purple light shining in their eyes, and the double-headed crocodile scales on their wrists were also infused with the same divine power as Arthur Harrow.
Thus, a judgment of harvesting souls officially began.
Those believers who gained divine power grabbed the arms of those around them without question and used the double-headed crocodile scales on their wrists to judge their souls.
Those who could keep the scales balanced would receive pardon.
And those who caused the scales to tilt would not only have their lives instantly ended, but their souls would also be swallowed by Amit, becoming the source of her increasing power… even the fathers, lovers, or children of these believers were no exception.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Soon, a shocking and terrifying scene appeared in the night sky of Cairo.
Tens of thousands of human souls, enveloped in purple divine power, seemed to be guided by some force, flying towards the Khufu Pyramid where Amit was… finally being swallowed by her.
Under the continuous blessing of soul energy, Amit's divine power began to recover rapidly, and her body also began to grow larger and larger.
"That's enough of you!"
Khonshu's giant figure appeared like a phantom behind Amit, sweeping his staff horizontally, striking Amit's abdomen directly.
Bang—
The heavy blow, imbued with divine power, directly knocked Amit's massive figure backward, slamming her heavily onto the Pyramid.
Before she could get up, Khonshu, who had successfully landed a blow, immediately used his crescent-shaped staff to choke her neck, firmly pinning her to the ground.
At the same time.
Leila El, transformed into the Moon Knightess, also streaked across the sky like a meteor, thanks to the golden wings on her back, crashing heavily into Arthur Harrow, who was continuously casting spells at the top of the Pyramid.
But the latter was clearly prepared, gracefully shifting slightly at the moment the attack arrived, successfully dodging the sneak attack.
"Damn it, Arthur Harrow, you executioner, I will never let you off."
Leila El let out an angry roar, new and old grudges surging in her heart, then flapped her golden wings to change direction, attacking Arthur Harrow again.
In her opinion, with the great power of two gods blessing her, there was no way she could lose, no matter how she looked at it.
But in the next second, something strange happened.
Her figure seemed to be restrained by an invisible force, freezing in place directly in front of Arthur Harrow, who then unhurriedly shot a purple divine power from his staff, continuously drawing soul and power from her body.
"I'm sorry, your fate was already sealed… Oh no, it should be said that everyone's fate is merely a chess piece in the hands of the Lord of Change."
Arthur Harrow whispered into her ear in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Now, your mission is complete, hurry to the Warp and embrace your new life…"
"What is this power? And what is the Warp? You… whose agent are you exactly?"
Leila El's eyes widened in disbelief; she actually saw a flickering Flame of Change on his forehead, which did not belong to Amit.
It was precisely with this mysterious power that he had just restrained her.
But Arthur Harrow did not answer her question, instead saying indifferently, "Go, Mark has been waiting for you there for a long time."
With that, he increased the output of the purple divine power in his hand, and Leila El's soul and power were absorbed in a blink of an eye, then transformed into a shriveled and hollow mummy, falling at Arthur Harrow's feet.
And the bandages on her, symbolizing Khonshu's power, as well as the golden wings on her back, symbolizing Taweret's power, turned into a wisp of yellow sand and disappeared, having lost the blessing of divine power.

"It seems it's time for the next step."
Arthur Harrow glanced at Amit and Khonshu below, then raised his hand, picked up the dried corpse on the ground, and walked towards the Hall of Gods.
Next, he would use Leila El's corpse to seal Khonshu within it.
Then destroy this human body.
This way, Khonshu's soul and power would most likely be forcibly plundered by the Warp from Celestial Heliopolis and Duat.
That's right.
This was the experiment Tzeentch was going to conduct.
If this method could truly succeed, then he could follow suit and send all the other gods sealed within the ushabti by the Nine Pillars Gods, stored in the Hall of Gods, to the Warp.
This way, once the Four Lackeys successfully devoured and digested the souls and powers of these gods, they would initially have the confidence to launch an attack on Celestial Heliopolis.
By then, the Four Lackeys' first dimensional war would officially begin!
It must be said, Karl gave Tzeentch's plan a considerable amount of affirmation.
Who said Old T's plans can't keep up with changes? Always fail at the last step?
See, this time it's quite stable, isn't it?
"Leila?!"
Khonshu immediately sensed the anomaly occurring in his temporary agent, and as her soul vanished, his power also began to rapidly weaken.
Unlike the gods of Asgard, after the Nine Pillars Gods established the rule that the Egyptian Pantheon's gods could not appear in the real World in their true forms, agents became amplifiers for their divine power.
Therefore, after losing their agents, their power would be infinitely weakened.
But before Khonshu could react, Amit had already used her tail to whip him far away.
"Khonshu, see, another one of your agents died because of your foolish actions."
Amit, like dragging a dead dog, tightly wrapped her tail around Khonshu's neck, then dragged him in front of her, mocking:
"I can give you one last chance now, join me, and we can work together to create a balanced World…
From now on, this will be our paradise, you don't need to die for a battle that is destined to fail!!"
"Never!"
Just as Khonshu struggled to resist, his massive body suddenly disintegrated, then transformed into a wisp of gray smoke and was forcibly pulled into the Hall of Gods, sealed within Leila El's dried corpse.
"What is this…?"
When Khonshu realized that his consciousness and power were sealed, he immediately roared in anger and shame:
"Arthur Harrow, how dare you imprison me, a god, in a mortal's dried corpse? I will never let this rest."
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid you won't have the chance."
Arthur Harrow grinned, revealing an evil smile, then directly released a purple energy, blasting the dried corpse sealing Khonshu into pieces.

…
The next moment, Khonshu found himself in an unknown dimensional space.
In the northwest of this World, stood an incredibly massive Brass Throne.
The base of the throne was piled high with countless corpses and skulls.
At this moment, on the throne, a colossal figure with a dog's head and a human body, clad in heavy red armor, was looking down at him.
Behind that figure, a winged giant dragon was coiled, glaring at him with blood-red eyes, watching him menacingly.
And in the northeast, a strange cloud, wrapped in lightning and constantly changing shape and color, was drifting towards him.
In the southeast, a seductive figure whose face constantly changed, yet always evoked desire, was looking towards him.
Only the green fatty in the southwest, entirely green and looking much like "Max Version Monster Shrek," was staring intently at a steaming pot in front of him, stirring it from time to time.
Besides that, he also saw a pale Sun in the "sky," as well as two infinity stones emitting yellow/red light, and two ancient parchment scrolls containing mysterious power.
Wait a minute, why are the infinity stones here?
And two of them???
"This… what in the World is this place?"
Khonshu was truly a bit intimidated by such a display.
And he also felt a very strong sense of oppression from the four "monsters" opposite him… oh no, if you count the Sun in the "sky," it should be five "monsters."
Apparently, these guys were also gods, just like him!
Wait a minute, is this a newly formed dimensional space?
"Welcome to the Warp… Now, we can let you choose who devours you!"
…
Outside the Hall of Gods, Amit, sensing the disappearance of Khonshu's soul, immediately flew into a rage, roaring at the reappeared Arthur Harrow:
"Idiot, how dare you kill Khonshu without my permission?"
Arthur Harrow, however, changed his previously subservient attitude and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, my goddess, because only by removing Khonshu as an obstacle will your next battle not be disturbed by others."
"Hmm? What battle?"
Just as Amit felt confused, a giant portal, about a hundred meters high, suddenly appeared out of thin air in the space not far from her.
Immediately after, a colossal figure wearing a deep blue Symbiote battle suit walked out from within.
Thump thump thump—
King Kong continuously pounded his chest, emitting a series of dull roars like war drums towards Amit, as if challenging her.
Come on, fight me head-on!
"Hmm? Baboon?"
Amit's face showed a hint of confusion.
And the "Baboon" she referred to was actually a violent and hostile ape Loki.
Legend has it that if a Baboon appeared when the God of Death Anubis weighed the hearts of the deceased, it meant that this person could not go to Celestial Heliopolis, but was destined for Duat.
Therefore, in the eyes of the ancient Egyptians, the Baboon was far more dangerous than Amit.
However, Amit soon realized something was wrong.
Because on King Kong's forehead, she saw a shining Warp eight-pointed star rune, and one corner in the northwest was constantly emitting red light.
