------------------------------------------------
Apparently, the green flaming arrow just now was the work of Tzeentch.
Green Fire – It can cause the enemy's mind to fall into confusion, thereby denying their original beliefs, changing their loyalty, and prioritizing attacking their teammates.
And under the instigation of Tzeentch, Toth and all the Heavenly Realm Warriors controlled by the Flame of Change suddenly turned their weapons and launched an attack on Osiris and the rest of the gods.
"What's going on? Why did Toth and the others suddenly defect?"
Osiris and the others were instantly bewildered, and several unprepared gods were even directly killed on the spot in the siege of the Heavenly Realm Warriors.
The scene once fell into extreme chaos.
But what made Osiris and the others feel even worse was that the time restraint Toth had originally placed on Khorne was forcibly broken by the latter in just a few breaths.
"Light of Charm!!!"
Fortunately, Hathor, the God of Love and Beauty, acted in time, her beautiful eyes flashing with a charming light that could deprive any creature of body control.
Under the shroud of this charming light, anyone who met Hathor's eyes would be controlled by her, temporarily becoming a puppet who was completely obedient to her.
With this power, Hathor successfully controlled a large number of Heavenly Realm Warriors, building a temporary defense line in front of the gods, thereby stabilizing the situation that was about to collapse.
"Osiris, think of a way quickly… I can't maintain control of so many people for too long…"
Although Hathor was Horus's wife, which was Osiris's nominal daughter-in-law.
But in fact, she, along with Shu, the God of Wind and Air, Tefnut, the God of Rain and Moisture, and Sekhmet, the Lioness Goddess, were all children of Ra, the Sun God.
In other words, if ranked by seniority, Osiris would have to call her great-aunt (again, sighing at this deformed incestuous system!).
However, as soon as the words left her mouth, Hathor found the scene before her eyes suddenly changed, as if she was in an incredibly huge circular palace.
The air was filled with an enchanting scent that made one's mouth dry, and the naked figures visible everywhere in the hall made Hathor's blood boil, and a certain unspeakable desire in her heart began to stir.
"Hehehe…"
From the throne deep in the hall, a charming giggle suddenly came, and then a fair and tender arm slowly stretched out from the Shadow, gently beckoning towards Hathor.
"I can feel the suppressed desire in your heart. Come… As long as you submit to me, I can let you experience the true mystery hidden behind 'Love' and all beautiful things in the World!!"
slaanesh's voice seemed to possess an irresistible magic, instantly igniting the deepest flame of desire in Hathor's heart, making her unable to resist sinking into it, unable to extricate herself.
Titillating Delusions – A powerful illusion magic created by slaanesh, capable of presenting the enemy's deepest desires in their original form. No one can resist the urge to accept this desire… Not even a "God"!
In the real World, a flush of extreme excitement suddenly appeared on Hathor's face, her body slightly bowed, her legs trembling uncontrollably, and even her breathing became shaky, as if she had experienced some unspeakable extreme pleasure in that instant.
"Hathor, you… what's wrong with you?"
Osiris and the others were instantly bewildered, looking at Hathor with confusion, but after she enjoyed the lingering pleasure brought by some sensation, a mysterious purple rune suddenly lit up on her forehead, and then she walked towards the huge Warp Rift in the distance without looking back.
"Damn it, Hathor, where are you going?"
First Toth, then Hathor. No matter how slow Osiris and the others were to react, they now understood that the abnormalities happening to the two of them must be due to someone deliberately playing tricks.
And all of this was clearly inseparable from the huge dimensional rift in the distance.
However, before Osiris and the others could come up with a countermeasure, with Hathor's divine power no longer restraining them, countless Heavenly Realm Warriors were already howling like a group of mad Beasts, charging at them again.
What made Osiris and the others even more desperate was that the dog-headed Dimensional God holding the bloody greatsword had now refocused his gaze on them.
What to do?
Fight?
Or… escape?
No one could have imagined that Celestial Heliopolis and the dignified Egyptian Pantheon would fall into such a desperate situation of impending destruction in such a short time.
Facing such a predicament, and facing such a ferocious Khorne, a ridiculous thought arose in Osiris's mind… Escape?!
No!
It shouldn't be called escaping, it should be a strategic retreat… The current retreat is only for tomorrow's victory!
Because as long as he could reach the Hall of All Gods alive, he could report everything that happened here to Zeus, the King of the Gods.
Presumably, by then, My Lord Zeus would surely send Heavenly soldiers and generals to completely wipe out this audacious demon army and this dog-headed Dimensional God who appeared out of nowhere?
Yes, that must be it!
At this thought, Osiris's heart instantly rejoiced, but then he thought of another crucial question… That is, the dog-headed Dimensional God on the other side clearly wouldn't let them escape easily.
Especially in the previous battle, the terrifying strength displayed by Khorne was clearly much higher than that of them, the members of the Nine Pillars Gods.
So if they wanted to forcibly break through the opponent's defense line by force and then escape Celestial Heliopolis through the Golden Bridge of the Path of the Gods, the success rate would be incredibly low!
What to do?
Can't win, can't escape!
Osiris couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
But then, as if he had thought of a solution, he directly cast his slightly gloomy gaze on the only remaining five gods in front of him.
Among them were three miscellaneous animal gods who had no blood relationship with Osiris.
The reason they had survived until now was not because of how strong they were, but simply because they were relatively lucky.
Osiris naturally couldn't count on these cannon fodders.
Fortunately, there were still two members of the Nine Pillars Gods who were related to him by blood: Tefnut, the God of Rain and Moisture, and Nephthys, the Guardian of Houses and the Dead.
Especially Tefnut, she was the daughter of Ra, the Sun God, and represented the power of Disorder that caused food and corpses to rot.
If she led the other four to hold back the dog-headed Dimensional God, he might still have a glimmer of hope.
As for whether the five of them would survive afterward… Osiris temporarily had no time to think about this question, because if even he, the King of the Gods, could not escape, then it would mean that the entire Egyptian Pantheon would be extinguished!
So for the safety of the King of the Gods, no matter how great the sacrifice, it was worth it!
"Everyone, attack that Dimensional God together and try to buy me some time. I've already thought of a way to deal with him."
Osiris suddenly said with certainty, and Tefnut and the others immediately showed joy on their faces, without the slightest doubt in their hearts, and all activated their divine power, actively rushing towards Khorne.
"I'm sorry…"
Osiris murmured to himself, then activated his divine power, transforming into a wisp of a ghost, and flew at extreme speed towards the Golden Bridge of the Path of the Gods without looking back.
"Osiris, where are you going…?"
"My Lord King of the Gods, please don't abandon us!"
Soon, the five, including Tefnut, realized they had been tricked.
The King of the Gods, who had vowed to them that he had found a solution, had secretly escaped alone while they were desperately fighting the enemy?
However, with just a moment's distraction, the other four besides Tefnut were directly cut in half by the bloody greatsword in Khorne's hand, their souls flying directly into the Warp to report.
"Hmph, trash as weak as you dare to call yourselves 'Gods'?!"
Khorne snorted with displeasure. He had originally thought this would be a satisfying battle, but who would have thought it would turn out to be such an easy slaughter, truly uninteresting!
"You… who exactly are you?"
Facing Osiris's 'betrayal,' Tefnut did not show the same grief as the other five; her face remained calm.
In fact, to buy Osiris more time to escape, she simply stopped struggling and instead looked coldly at Khorne, questioning him:
"We have no grievances, so why are you targeting the Egyptian Pantheon? Why are you invading Celestial Heliopolis?"
"Whether there's a grudge or not is not for you to say."
Although Khorne was bloodthirsty and warlike, it did not mean he was stupid. He naturally understood Tefnut's true intention in doing so, but he didn't care at all.
Because today, no one from the entire Egyptian Pantheon… was destined to leave here alive.
Their only choice was who would eventually kill them!
So Khorne didn't bother with Osiris, who was taking the opportunity to escape. His blood-red eyes looked at Tefnut, and he grinned sinisterly:
"But I can tell you why I invaded Celestial Heliopolis."
"The reason is simple: this World doesn't need so many useless gods… My Boss, one God, is enough!!"
"What?"
Tefnut looked at Khorne with disbelief. She couldn't quite understand what kind of terrifying existence could make such a powerful Dimensional God call him Boss?
So she quickly asked, "You… your Boss is?"
Khorne answered without hesitation: "Of course, it's the creator of us four… oh no, well, if you count that boring guy, it should be five, the creator of us five, the sole master of the Hyperspace Dimension… Karl Merks!!!"
"Warp? Karl Merks?"
Tefnut tried hard to search her mind for information related to the latter two unfamiliar names, but she found nothing. Was it a new Dimension?
But then she dismissed the idea.
After all, a new Dimension could never give birth to such a powerful Dimension Demon as the dog-headed Dimensional God in front of her, let alone the so-called creator he mentioned.
But similarly, she could also tell that Khorne's words just now were not deceiving her!
What exactly was going on?
Tefnut, who was racking her brain without success, subtly glanced into the distance. Seeing that Osiris had successfully broken through the defense line, she immediately let out a long sigh of relief.
As if anticipating her inevitable death, a look of grim determination appeared on her face, and then she righteously reprimanded Khorne:
"Although your power is above ours, and even Celestial Heliopolis might fall today, this does not mean the end…"
"You probably don't know, do you? The Egyptian Pantheon is an allied nation of the Hall of All Gods. If you dare to lay hands on Celestial Heliopolis, it's equivalent to making enemies of all the pantheons allied with the Hall of All Gods. By then, Zeus, the King of the Gods, will definitely not let you off!!"
"Heh heh, wouldn't that be perfect?"
Khorne laughed heartily, unconcerned: "Next, even if that so-called Hall of All Gods doesn't come looking for us, we'll actively go looking for them… I've already said it, this World doesn't need so many useless gods. My Boss, one God, is enough!!"
With that, as if tired of such questioning, Khorne raised his hand and brought down his blade, directly sending Tefnut's soul to report in the Warp.
Meanwhile, Osiris in the distance had already successfully reached the Golden Bridge of the Path of the Gods. But just as he was about to use his divine power to activate the Golden Bridge and teleport himself to Earth, a green figure, entirely green and looking much like a "Max Version Shrek," suddenly appeared and blocked his path. He stood with his back to Osiris, constantly stirring the soup in a large pot.
From time to time, he would pick up a spoonful, bring a little to his mouth, and then slurp it in, savoring the taste.
"What kind of monster are you now?"
Osiris, like a startled bird, was instantly shocked, but he quickly calmed down.
Because he did not feel the same powerful aura as Khorne from the green fatty opposite him; instead, he seemed rather unremarkable.
"Now, get out of my way!!"
Osiris activated his divine power, and a black mist composed of countless vengeful spirits immediately enveloped the 'green fatty' opposite him.
Mist of Vengeful Spirits – A curse from the undead, a killing move that can instantly strip an enemy of their life force!!
