Merh, the princess of another parallel timeline from Earth, who had appeared from the gray gates formed by the Grandfather of Time to hasten the destru of Earth, ended up revealing her identity and her secrets to the Hunters of the city of Cairo.
Despite her being rather shy about it, ohey opened up to her and she realized they weren’t actually bad people, she fessed to them where she came from, while the hunters also shared their opinions and views about it.
“So you truly e from a much more teologically advanced society, a parallel world.” Mohamed Khaled muttered, the association chairman of the city.
“We’ll have to keep this a secret. Other tries could try to kidnap Merh and steal her teology if more of her bees public.”
However, Ahmed Mostafa, known as “The Blood Beast Berserk”, an S Rank Hunter, ughed at the chairman’s words.
“Don’t you think that’s a bit too te now, Mohamed? Miss Princess over here ’t get away from the journalists, always showing her fa TV!”
The thug-like hunter wasn’t as respectful as the rest and often voiced his opinions and words without holding back.
“Ugh, okay, I admit I shouldn’t have dohat!” Merh sighed. “But for now, I suppose most things are cleared, right? I don’t really have iions of going back, so I hope you could let me stay for a bit more.”
“Of course, I guess there’s no helping it then,” Heba Marwa, often known as “Queen of the Dunes”, an S Rank Hunter, seemed to like Merh. “Maybe you could.”
Yet…
RUMBLE!
This civil versation filled with revetions was suddenly interrupted as something above the skies suddenly emerged.
Or, well, it seemed as if it had materialized out of thin air! The people of El Cairo poi the sky in fear and awe.
A giant golden pyramid floated above the skies as several smaller silhouettes started flying off of it, going down into the city.
They were all huge meical strus—piloted robots!
Merh looked at the se through the building’s window.
“Ah, this is bad.”
Her eyes seemed to have widened as she saw what happened.
The ghosts of her past were finally ing for her.
The other Hunters panicked.
“What’s going on?!” Heba asked.
“That’s the pyramid?!” Mohamed asked.
“Don’t tell me they’re looking for you?!” Ahmed wondered.
“Merh!”
Sara Asmaa, “The Sacred Child”, the fourth S-Rank Hunter of this city and the you, g Merh, her face full of .
“T-This is all my fault… I have to take responsibility.”
Merh gritted her teeth, grasping her hands tightly.
“Eh? What do you mean with…!”
FLASH!
She suddenly jumped out of the window, making the hunters panic.
“Merh?!”
However, as she fell, her Golden Bloodliivated.
An aura of gold and silver light surged from her body as a giant meical god materialized around her body.
Ra, the God of the Sun!
It was here to begin with, but just through a mere and, the entity made of metal emerged out of nowhere.
The Hunters couldn’t help but wonder if it was either stored in dimensional ste or if it simply materialized from magic or nanobots geed from Merh’s body; nobody knew how it even worked.
“I have to take responsibility fing them here…!” Merh thought. “I ’t let them do as they please, this city that weled me… these people that uood me…! I must protect them!”
She flew into the skies with her fiery wings, fronting the group of dozens of meical soldiers.
The group was led by a rger mech, one resembling her own iail a.
Yet this one was bd gold-colored, with its head resembling a jackal, wearing bck armor, and holding a rge, golden bance.
It emanated a powerful aura of Darkness, the plete opposite of Ra.
Ihere was only one God of Egyptian Mythology that fit such a being.
And Merh immediately reized it!
“T-That’s Anubis?!” The princess gasped. “Big brother Akhenaten... is it you?”
Akhenaten was Merh’s big brother, someone she both feared and hated.
A man ordered the princess around as if she were his sve, and he envied her for living without as many responsibilities as he did.
“Who else than me, Merh?!”
His voice echoed from ihe meical god, sending shivers down Merh’s spine all the way down to the tip of her tail.
It was indeed him.
“I have finally found you... You little brat. We’re going bae, and you’re marrying that Roman prince!”
“No… I’ll never marry a Roman!”
She roared furiously; the princess wasn’t going to let others decide her life ever again.
“I am going to be free, and I will not follow your insanity anymore!”
Hearing his sister’s bold words, Akhenaten immediately lost his cool, if he even had oo begin with.
“You’re really bold to say such bsphemy. You don’t deserve the power of the gods. The power of Ra would do much better in my hands!”
With a furious roar, her big brother rushed towards her, materializing a huge bd gold scythe.
The princess gasped, incapable of believing her brother would just e to kill her in cold blood!
“Are you really going to fight me?!”
Merh had no time to think, materializing a spear made of fmes and sunlight to defend.
CLAAASH!
An explosion of fmes and light erupted as her brother ushed back slightly. The might of Ra was greater than he had imagined, charging furiously at his sister might not have been the wisest decision.
“The fmes of Ra are to!” he thought. “Anubis Dark Aura is rapidly decreasing…!”
The Dark Aura that Anubis, the Meical God created rotective yer of dark matter that helped Akhenaten easily bee immuo most attacks, both physical and energy based.
However, it wasn’t invincible; Ra’s sunlight, in fact, was its worst match! posed of a star’s psma itself, it burhrough the dark matter, vaporizing it.
“We don’t o do this!” said Merh. “Please, let’s not fight! We’re both stranded here! We ’t go bae yet, so it’s useless to fight between each other!”
"Useless, you say?!” ughed Akhenaten. “Has the lesser beings living in these sand nds weakened your heart? Or perhaps you were always this foolish, my sister? This is the perfect opportunity for me to take Ra with me! I’ll just pretend you died in an act! Hahah!”
“E-Eh?!”
Merh was shocked by what her brother had said. Although he had never shoeck of love to her through their entire lives, at least she imagined he was still a det human being and that he wouldn’t go as far as killing his own sister.
But she was wrong; the corruption of their family had even reached the princes and princesses, and with many heirs iing the Golden Bloodlihe only way to truly obtain a Meical God was simple.
To eliminate one another!
“You already have Anubis! Why do you want Ra too?! Isn’t one enough?!”
“It’s never enough! Also, Ra is not yours! You stole him when you ran away! He actually belongs with my mother! Therefore, it belongs to me as well!”
“T-That’s not true! Ra iloted by MY mom!”
Although they were siblings sharing a siher, their mothers were different mistresses of the King. Merh’s mother had died several years ago, and Ra once beloo her.
However, after her mother’s passing, her brother’s mother took Ra as her trophy, which, unlike Merh’s mother, was barely used for battle and only used as a trophy she showcased around her pace.
“Your mother only used the Meical God as a trophy! Ra is made to fight and protect its people!” Merh cried, and her bzing spear tio pierce through Anubis dark matter veil.
However…
“Meical Gods are our tools, you foolish brat!”
With a furious roar, the Egyptian prinleashed his Golden Bloodline’s Ability, infusing it into the Meical God Anubis, whose entire body started to tremble, releasing sparks of electricity.
“{Golden Bloodline}: {Ma’at Insurance}”
RUMBLE!
Anubis exuded a white aura bined with its bck aura. Merh gasped. She realized her brother used the Golden Bloodline Ability, a power everyone who held this bloodline could unleash within Meical Gods.
Unfortunately for her, she had no idea what her brother’s power was, and to make things worse, she had yet to awaken her own!
“Insurance, what does that mean?!”
As she was fused, Anubis rushed towards her, swinging its giant scythe at the same time as its dark matter aura transformed inte jackals, barking, and trying to bite and attack Ra.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
“Aah!”
Merh panicked slightly, stepping back as she used her bzing spear and Ra’s mighty wings for prote. The barrage of blows was intense, although she noticed Anubis had not grown any stronger.
“Was he just bluffing?!”
As she thought so, she rushed forward, swinging her spear aroying the jackals oer another. Explosions of fmes and darkness erupted in the sky.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Akhenaten smiled as his rge scythe ushed bad cracks appeared over the futuristic meical on. As Anubis ushed back, its greatest power, the Dark Matter Veil, was useless against Ra’s Sun Psma.
Yet… he smiled!
“Heh! Thank you! I’ll be adding that to the insurance cost!”
“Insurance…?!”
Merh didn’t uand but quickly realized that something, a mysterious power, maed itself, enpassing her entire body and that of Anubis.
Suddenly, she felt as if Ra had bee slower and heavier, while at the same time, Anubis grew stronger, faster, and swifter.
Then, she noticed a rge number above Anubis.
[Ma’at Insurance: 1 Points]
The number kept increasing, she noticed it did based on her own attacks against Anubis.
[Ma’at Insurance: 10 Points]
[Ma’at Insurance: 20 Points]
[Ma’at Insurance: 30 Points]
[Ma’at Insurance: 40 Points]
[…]
At the end, it e a staggering number!
[Ma’at Insurance: 100 Points]
“Huh?!”
And then…
[Subtrag Insurance from target. 100 Points of Power have been taken and grao the affected party.]
FLUOSH!
And then it was when Ra’s powers weakened even further!
“Ra?!”
Merh gasped, as she had realized too te that she had fallen for her brother’s scheme all along.
The power of his Golden Bloodline allowed him to create an insurance he would have to be paid based on the damage he received.
The more damage he takes, the more insurahe attag party must pay!
It weakens his foe while granting him strength.
This was the power of Ma’at, the God of Truth and Justice of Egyptian Mythology.
“C-CRAAAHH…!”
Ra groahe Meical Gods were se beings of their own, groaning in pain. The gigantic bird god seemed to be growing weaker; its fmes turned smaller, and its radiance flickered.
“Hahaha! HAHAHAH!”
Akhenaten ughed maniacally as he saw the city of El Cairo being attacked by his troops, almost a hundred Mechs piloted by his soldiers tinued destroying buildings, the people below panicked, screaming, and running away.
“Look what you’ve provoked, Merh! This is all your fault! Now all these rats are going to die because of YOU!”
“N-No…! Leave them out of this, brother!”
Merh cried, rushing towards her brother with all her mae’s strength, which had been reduced to half. Her giant bzing spear moved towards Anubis.
“If you attack me, you’ll only make me stronger!”
“I know.”
“Huh?!”
FLASH!
Akhenaten suddenly gasped; the bzing spear Merh sent towards him actually missed him, flying towards a group of piloted mechs, resembling humanoid sphynxes and bck jackals.
And then…
BOOOMMM!!!
They blew up into pieces, the spear exploding and disiing them all.
The prince’s eyes widened.
“You dare kill your nation’s soldiers?! Are you insane? How much of a traitor have you bee?!”
“They’re not my soldiers; they’re yours!” roared Merh. “And if they dare kill these i people, then, as you said, I’ll take responsibility! Even if I must decre my betrayal against you all, I shall! These people... had been o me in these few days than any of you bastards were for years! I hold no bonds with you, brother!”
“Hah! So you’re finally showing your true colors, always hiding behind that fa?ade of a cute and i princess! You’re nothing but a snake, Merh!”
Her brother rushed towards her as both Meical Gods cshed above the skies, explosions of fmes and darkness erupting with each blow.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Both siblings cshed against one another; Merh simply defended, while Anubis stantly went on the offensive.
Her sharp eyes weren’t as foolish as her brother thought; he couldn’t trick her, making her believe his power was invincible.
With each powerful blow she received from him...
[Ma’at Insurance: 100 Points]
[Ma’at Insurance: 97 Points]
[Ma’at Insurance: 94 Points]
[Ma’at Insurance: 91 Points]
[Ma’at Insurance: 88 Points]
The insurance t went down, and she gained a tiny bit of power back!
“So that’s how it works,” she thought. “Still! It’s such a cheat!”
Thankfully, Ra was among the three toughest Meical Gods in her world, and it could withstand even the blows from a powered Anubis with ease.
She quickly flew across the skies using her fiery wings, rushing down aroying the mechs from her brother’s army, managing to stop some of the destru.
“Stop that, you snake!” With a furious roar, Akhenaten unleashed an ability from Anubis.
“{Shroudih}!”
FLUOSH!
The meical cws of Anubis jured endless Dark Matter, ing around Merh pletely.
“W-What…?!”
The princess was caught off-guard and uo escape before she was captured within a bck bubble.
“Hahaha! I got her!”
As the brother celebrated, suddenly.
CRASH!
“Ungh?!”
A giant fist made of the sands of the desert surrounding El erged, pung his gigantic meical god away.
“Let that girl go, NOW!”
A furious ban emerged; the sands of the desert were her domain.
And while being carried by her sands, several ures emerged.
The hunters in El Cairo were not going to just sit down and watch.
“Pathetic lesser ones... Your death shall be swift!”
