  At the same time as Merh awakened her Golden Bloodline Ability, the pce where she had been trapped this eime finally opened, a blinding sword of light sshing through it, and a woman made of light, apanying Sara, appeared.

  This woman, with her glisteniy and her radiant eyes, made Merh almost paralyzed. Not in her entire life had she seen such a beautiful woman before. It was, in her mind, as if she were fag a goddess right now.

  “Are you a goddess?!”

  “Oh? Hahahah!”

  The woman ughed as she quickly broke opeire sphere of Dark Matter, freeing Ra and Merh.

  “I suppose some call me that,” she said, as the winds made her long, silvery hair flutter. “But my name is Bing Xue… o meet you, princess Merh.”

  And this was the moment that Merh’s entire life ged.

  “Merh! I’m so gd you’re okay!”

  Sara greeted Merh with her usual cheerful voice, making Merh relieved she was alive.

  “Do you think you break through this on your own?” Bing Xue asked. “It looks like you gained some rength… Or do you need a hand?”

  “I… thank you for opening the way,” said Merh. “But don’t worry! As a proud Princess of the Empire of the Sun, I hahis trifling Dark Matter sphere like nothing now!”

  FLUOSH!

  With Ra fully fueled with the Sunlight Merh emanating from her body, the giant bird-shaped mech roared, beginning to spread out its wings made of fmes.

  “CRYAAAAH!”

  FLAAASH!

  As the Meical God spread out their wings, an explosion of Psma erupted. Bing Xue grabbed Sara and quickly retreated, before the entire sphere of Dark Matter quickly exploded into pieces.

  BOOOM!!!

  The Dark Matter quickly dissipated into thin air, disappearing as if it were here, and the radiant and glorious Ra remaihere, glistening with divine brilliance.

  “Looks like she’s back at full power!” Bing Xue giggled.

  “Amazing! I think she’s even strohan before!” Sara cheered cutely as Bing Xue held her in her arms.

  “Those maes these people brought from that other parallel world seem quite amusing,” nodded Bing Xue. “They carry enough power to rival magid supernatural powers yet have no such powers themselves; it is teology so adva resembles magic, huh?”

  “Is that so?” Sara wondered. “Ah! Right! I o go heal everyone else! Bing Xue, you please help me get there?”

  “Sure, let’s go then, Sara.” Bing Xue nodded.

  Moving at lightning speed, she carried Sara around El Cairo. Sara’s healing magic was incredible, spreading through hundreds of meters around her. Even the worst-wounded citizens were rapidly recovered.

  “Her healing abilities are incredible; she’s perhaps the best healer I’ve ever met since I came back to Earth,” Bing Xue thought. “I definitely have to recruit her as my disciple!”

  As Bing Xue helped Sara heal the rest of the city of El Cairo and also gather with the Huhat had been harmed by Akhenaten, she g the fight between siblings from afar.

  “AKHENATEN!”

  “Huh?!”

  The Egyptian prince’s eyes widened as he heard the voice of his sister. He had been fighting John, Francisco, and Yahis eime, and all three of them were on a stalemate until now.

  “That’s…?!” John muttered. “Wait, is she his sister?”

  “Nice!” Francisco celebrated. “Master freed her!”

  “Nicely done, Katherine!” Yanisse nodded. “Now… Was your sister’s name Merh? Well, it looks like she’s ing to say hi.”

  “AH!”

  Akhenaten gasped as a giant humanoid fal-shaped mech emerged above Anubis. Within a split sed, two giant spears made of psma rushed down, pierg through Anubis arms, which Akheried to use to defend.

  CRAAASH! CRAAASH!

  The psma spears begaing the internal circuits of the arms, making them rapidly fall into pieces. Akhenaten screamed in horror; to see a Meical God being harmed was something almost impossible!

  “NOOO! ANUBIS!”

  “This time I’m not holding back, Akhenaten! You’ll pay for what you’ve done! So many people died, and so many almost died because of you and your army! YOU’RE A MONSTER, NOT MY BROTHER!”

  Akhenaten grew furious, gritting his teeth as he gred at Merh with utter anger, his Golden Bloodline Aura growing stronger.

  “SILENCE, YOU WENCH!”

  With a furious howl, Ma’at’s Insuraivated once more, its numbers rising rapidly because of the damage Anubis ended up taking from Merh’s opening attacks.

  Its number went to 100 immediately, and Merh quickly felt the debuff, weakening the power of her mae in trast.

  “You ’t beat me so easily as long as I have my Divine Bloodline, Merh!”

  With wicked ughter, the prince punched Ra away through Anubis arms; although its cws and half of their arms were gone, he quickly regrew new ones made of materialized Dark Matter.

  CLAAANK!

  Ra ushed away several meters as Anubis rushed forward, juring tless s made of dark matter and trying to entrap Merh in the same bubble as before.

  “That trick is not going to work a sed time!”

  However, the princess quickly unleashed her Golden Bloodline Ability, the Sky above began to tremble rapidly as a giant storm of lightning and winds desded, enpassing Ra’s body and sending a mighty shockwave around her, destroying Anubis teique.

  TRUUUM!

  “W-What?! That’s…!”

  The young prince’s eyes widened even more once he realized that his sister had developed what he feared the most! The reason he wao kill her so quickly to begin with was because she had yet to develop one.

  “A Golden Bloodline Ability?!”

  “Turns out my mother left a gift with me,” Merh’s eyes were reflected on the fiery eyes of Ra. “Not only Ra, but this Ability! It is my birthright privilege! This is the Bloodline Ability you feared so much, to the point you killed her, right?”

  “N-No…! But mother said that…!” Akhenaten muttered, quickly realizing he had to shut his mouth and not say what he was about to say.

  “Afraid of saying its name?” Merh asked with a smile. “Yeah, it’s [Horus’ Domain of the Sky]!”

  “NO!”

  Horus’ Domain of the Sky is perhaps one of the stro Golden Bloodline Abilities doted in the history of the Empire of the Sun.

  Its power was simple, yet incredibly powerful, granting the wielder the power to manipute weather within a range, and also to use the elements of the sky.

  One of such elements was also Sunlight, giving the user incredible patibility with Ra, a Meical God whose fuel was Sunlight.

  By being inside Ra, a user of this Ability could grant the mae as much fuel as they wanted, not only allowing Ra to fun even at night but even exceeding its limits.

  The power that Ra gain during the day is limited to the sun, after all. But what if a user of this ability is piloting him, giving him even more sunlight?

  FLAAASH!

  Ra’s entire body was covered in bright sunlight, with psma c through every part of its body, quickly turning its metallic body into a deep red, gold, and e color.

  Its entire mass grew twice as rge, with enormous arms and legs packed with ons; its wings spread out and were divided into four; and its helmet’s beak became longer and sharper, as did its eyes.

  And above all, a third golden eye appeared on Ra’s forehead, spreading out golden-colored circuits that empowered the mae even more.

  “This ’t be happening…! This is…!” Akhenaten screamed, gritting his teeth. “No, wait! As long as she’s not like her mother, then… I’ll just kill her before she gets a gist of that form!”

  Indeed, “that form” was what Merh had achieved—Ra’s “Awakening”!

  In the legends, it is said that every meical God has an “Awakened Form” that is only unleashed when their Pilot’s Golden Bloodline Ability is patible with them.

  Unfortunately for Akhenaten, his powers didn’t allow him to unleash Anubis Awakening, therefore, he was now at a disadvantage, even with Ma’at’s Insurance!

  “Let’s leave him to her,” said Yanisse. “Francisco, Joh’s go help Nichos!”

  Yanisse quickly flew away, bringing the two other Hunters with her. She knew Merh had this covered now; not only has she been freed, but when her brother imprisoned her, Merh came to terms with her own life, and her ideals and vis solidified.

  Although it seemed depressing that she said she would rather die than do as her father told her and bee a little princess sve to her empire, this was her resolve. She will simply never back down and never kneel ever again to those who think they trol her life.

  Her mother’s will lives within her, and so she will do as her mother told her.

  “I am free… I will not go back to that Empire, and I will not die by your hand, brother! Ra is my mift, and I will not give him back! He’s… my family!”

  “CRYAAAAH!”

  Merh spoke as Ra roared, rushing towards the fearful Akhenaten, who quickly decided to fight back using his own tricks.

  “Don’t think you approach me so easily, you fool!”

  The Dark Matter that would have formed a new Veil over Anubis was instead used differently, as shadows spread out everywhere, c the skies.

  “{Kekui’s Eternal Darkness}!”

  FLUOSH!

  Anubis spread out its arms widely as Dark Matter ed everything, quickly trapping Merh within a domain of pure darkness.

  “This is…?”

  “Hahaha! Did you think I would face you head-on, idiot?!”

  Merh could hear her brother’s voice everywhere as she suddenly noticed a meical cw rushing towards her.

  CLASH!

  She quickly blocked it with Ra’s wings, and as she aimed to grab the cw, it disappeared into the Dark Matter.

  Then another cw surged from above, below, left, and right, from every a once.

  “Aah!”

  CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

  Ra was resisting each blow pretty well, even more on its Awakening form, but the damage was going to eventually accumute.

  “Brother used the Dark Matter to create the same thing he did to trap me, but in a wide area, and with him inside!” she thought. “But how e he attack me so many times? This doesn’t make sense… Wait!”

  K! K! K!

  As the sound of metal hittial reverberated across the skies, Merh’s eyes glowed bright gold, quickly realizing what Anubis true ability was. It wasn’t just the creation and trol of Dark Matter.

  But it also had the ability to bee Dark Matter. The reason why it was so tough, why it was able to fine her and weaken her… It was because every particle of this “Dark Matter” was mixed with bck colored nanobots, making the teique even more plex.

  “It’s as if Anubis had turned into this darkness…! But that means…”

  Her eyes widened as she smiled.

  This meant ohing.

  Akhenaten was exposed!

  As Merh started searg for him while tanking the hits, her brother smiled, floating amidst the darkness, encapsuted in several yers of Dark Matter.

  “To think I had to use the Secret Ability of Anubis in such a way… only for her!” he thought, frustrated. “But no matter, there is no foe that has survived this teique.”

  By putting all his energies into trating oacks, Akhenaten believed that Merh would eventually run out of stamina, the primary force that allowed Meical God pilots to use the Maes through their Golden Bloodlines and fall before his might.

  Yet…

  FLAAASH!

  “Huh?!”

  His eyes burned as he saw a giant sphere of light emerging from amidst the eternal darkness. The shadows attempted to swallow it, but the sphere, a miniature sun, tinued growing rger and rger and rger.

  “Does she have infinite energy or something?!”

  And then, as the light burhrough the darkness, the body of Akhenaten became very clear to Merh’s eyes.

  “How is this possible! Y-You! You’re merely a novi handling Meical Gods!”

  “Maybe! But unlike your Anubis, Ra is much more special… And he loves me too!”

  “CRYAAAAH!”

  Ra roared, rushing towards Akhenaten, who hastily attempted to reform Anubis from the dark matter.

  However, he only mao materialize the torso and one arm; uo get pletely remade in time, the giant miniature sun reached him.

  “Burn, {Khepri’s Eternal Sun}!”

  The light of this small sun burned horrendously, making Akhenaten scream in agony as he was uo be fully protected by Anubis.

  “W-Wait…! WAIT MERH! I’M YOUR BROTHER! YOU ’T… DO THIS!”

  He tried to push back the sphere of psma and fire down baerh, yet the princess could only smile as she heard her brother trying to appeal to their family bonds now.

  “I used the same argument against you! Did that make you stop?! Did you try to not kill me?!”

  Merh’s eyes glowed bright red, synizing with Ra’s fiery powers.

  “YOU DIDN’T!”

  She pushed the miniature sun even further, which quickly begaing Anubis and making it fall apart into pieces.

  Meanwhile, Akhenaten was…

  Roasted alive.

  “Merh…! WAIT…! MERH!”

  BOOOMMM!!!
