  Her spiderwebs extended across the world’s spiritual pne, which had been mostly unexplored sih’s “Awakening” by the arrival of the Tower. Mana permeated the world and twisted reality; Gates expanded and sometimes gave birth to Dungeons. And every time this essence was left behind, space was more distorted and transformed.

  A pne where the spiritual ahereal exist was ripe for the taking, and pletely unused by any person withiire globe. When her Primal Divinity was summoned into this world, pletely made out of Primal Power alone, a supernatural energy yet pletely tied to different ws, she felt overjoyed.

  This world, full of rid easy to absorb and wield energies, was hers, and she expanded; her spiders walked through the nd while her divinity spread across the spiritual pne of Earth, rapidly expanding her spiderwebs, creating her Domain below everyone’s noses.

  And then she answered the call of despairing souls, of corrupted, dark minds full of anger and frustration, those that were insane and evil, who had no god to call for help, those that desired revenge and to stand supreme but were always defeated by the heroes.

  She answered their call as the Queen of ingness and Treachery, Lady of the Dark Caves, and Mother of all the Despicable Ones.

  “Why… Why did I have to die?! It’s not fair! I worked so hard for this! For everything!”

  “Yes, you worked so hard, my dear. It’s unfair, isn’t it?”

  “I am the Empress! I AM THE EMPRESS!!!”

  "Yes, you are. And as an Empress, you shouldn’t let others dictate your fate. You must trol them.”

  “Yes…! Why did this happen to me?!”

  “Indeed, why? The world is so unfair for our ilk.”

  The Soul of eri was being absorbed by this Divinity, her endless frustration and hatred making her a prime vessel for her maions.

  However, there were other vengeful souls with her, not as powerful, not as vengeful, but that were good enough to plement her.

  “I should have been the pharaoh! My brother is nothing but a bastard!”

  “That’s right, my son. You should have been the pharaoh; you worked so hard…”

  “That damn kid pying being a pharaoh, why?! I even mao kill his father, yet he was able to steal the throne from me! How… HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!”

  “It’s very unfair, right? We should kill that kid and give you the throne instead.”

  “I’m so tired of all of this! Where’s my brother?! Where’s my empire! Why am I stranded here?! Why must I suffer with these useless fools that ’t do a sihing!”

  “That’s right! They’re all so useless and pathetic, my sunshine~ You’re the only perfee iire world~”

  Her tender words easily vihem to serve her, their souls pletely overwhelmed by her dark, motherly embrace.

  She was the Mother of all Corrupted after all.

  “Now let’s go, my children; it’s time for you to fight back… And for me? To take everything you possess. That teology, your knowledge, I want it all~!”

  Bd purple-colored energies suddenly started leaking from the destroyed Meical Gods across the four different cities and even from the corpses of their pilots.

  .

  .

  .

  Amon-Ra-Anubis, born from the fusioween Ra and Anubis after bining the Mana, Spiritual Energy, and Ki of Merh aa, closed his book, a divine on he could ma at will.

  His sharp crimson eyes closed, notig that his existence was already fading away. The bination of two Meical Gods was never fully developed by their makers, but it was a dormant program that awakened upon the absorption of supernatural energies.

  Mana, Ki, aa’s Spiritual Energy that allowed Anubis to reaew levels and recover quickly, was the key, and it could even be said that it was thanks to her abilities that this ossible.

  “It seems my time is limited,” he said. “Hekita, Merh. You may not be able to call for my help very soon. My powers are too extreme and create a great burden on Ra and Anubis. If there were more maes to bi might be different… However, the results of fusions will greatly ge depending on what Gods you bine. Bear this in mind.”

  “O-Okay… Thank you,” muttered Merh. “Um, are you truly Amun?”

  “That I am,” he giant mech. “Perhaps not like you imagined, but I am the tration and crystallization of Mythology and History, the Belief and Faith of people of aimes created my hypothetical existence. And through Ra and Anubis, I was able to ma briefly.”

  “Woah, that’s awesome!” Hekita said.

  “The A Egyptians khis: that their Gods could never be truly real; therefore, we Meical Gods were created, our cores, the crystallization of their faith and belief, of their history and mythology. That world cked Magic like this one; supernatural forces could never amass to create Gods.” He expined.

  “I see…” Bing Xue nodded, desding from the skies. “So that’s how the Meical Gods were created? That is very iing. I’ve visited other worlds before, and Gods are indeed created this way, sometimes. Amassing History and Mythology together to create a hypothetical existence, and through these supernatural energies such as Mana, and Divine Power which is a highly refined form of Mana, their Divinities are made. So that world had the amassed Mythology and History, Belief and Faith, but no supernatural energies to create God’s divine bodies and divinities, huh?”

  “Indeed,” nodded Amun. “Because of that, they made a special crystal, a synthesized material capable of harnessing psychiergies; this is how Faith was harnessed inside, crystalizing into the God Cores we all have. And so they built bodies for their gods, making them real even with the absence of divinity and magic.”

  “That’s really iing,” nodded Bing Xue. “Anyways, it seems you’re already dissipating? Your power is impressive.”

  “My hypothetical existence is brief, yes,” Amun nodded. “So I shall be leaving within seds from now. However, truth be told, your power is eveer. Without you helping these girls, it would have been never possible for me to ma. I am grateful to you, Bing Xue.”

  Amun bowed to Bing Xue, and as Merh gasped, her greatest of gods was bowing to someone else!

  “Now I shall leave,” Amun smiled at Merh aa, who had already stepped out of him, floating usia’s magic. “Be careful, however. The fight might not be over yet…”

  Amun quickly dissipated into particles of azure light as Ra and Anubis returo their inal forms, looking at their own bodies in disbelief.

  “Just what… happened?!” Anubis wondered.

  “Craaah?” Ra groaned.

  As the two Meical Gods separated and recovered their form, Merh aa smiled, nodding happily.

  “We did it, guys!” said Hekita. “Well done you two!”

  “That was amazing, Ra! I had no idea we could do that!” Merh said.

  As Bing Xue noticed that the battles across the four different cities finally came to an end and the threat from this parallel timeline was finally taken care of, she sighed in relief.

  “Well, finally time to rest… Or so I would wish to think.”

  She gred at the torn-apart Set, which was emanating a stant aura of bd purple, otherworldly energies.

  Primal Power.

  However, it was strawisted and transformed, enhanced, and made even strohis level of Primal Power surpassed even the Primal King.

  And it was more akin to a malevolent Divinity of its own!

  “Hmm, is this what Amu by the battle not being over?”

  She crossed her arms as she g a suddeion of this bd purple energy, resembling a deadly poisonous fog that spread out everywhere, leaving behind rivers of miasma that ihe desert.

  RUMBLE!

  “W-What was that?!”

  “Eh? That’s…!”

  The two girls panicked as they heard the tremor eg below them and then the expanding domain of bd purple fog.

  “What’s happening?! What is this cold and weird presence?” Merh asked in disbelief.

  FLUOSH!

  The fog expa an arming rate; within mere seds, hundreds of meters had been covered, turning the sand pletely pitch bd covered on purple-colored crystals as sharp as bdes.

  But that wasn’t all; the corpses of the invaders and their destroyed maes quickly began to move on their own once more, and the bd purple fog clouds, which Bing Xue immediately realized were a modified type of Primal Power, started possessing them.

  The destroyed gold and bck colored maes gained purple and gray crowing purple crystals over their bodies, somehow beginning to rapidly bine back together, f monstrous chimeric metallic aberrations in the shape of spiders.

  Hundreds of meical, aberrant spiders were born within seds, and to make things even worse, Set pieces aeri’s corpse were also back up.

  “Oh, now this is iing~”

  Belze smiled as she g the se; the monstrosities being born were overflowing with a power she had yet to fully assimite herself.

  Meanwhile, the Egyptian Hunters g the se in disbelief.

  “What the hell is going on?! Didn’t we win?!” Ahmed asked furiously.

  “Why are they standing back up as if nothing?!” Mohamed wondered. “This makes no sense!”

  “I sense an evil presence; a malevolent false god has maed within those corpses and maes!” Sara immediately could sense evil presences. “It is maing across all of them! How… How is this possible?! Where did this false god e from?!”

  “A false god? You mean the ones from the tower?” Heba asked. “But that shouldn’t be possible; they aren’t allowed to e here. Let alone influen such a direct way!”

  “RAAAARRGGH!”

  Bing Xue crossed her arms as she smiled, seeing the monstrous spider-shaped metallic giant formed out of Set’s body, covered with bd gray steel and purple crystals.

  And overflowing with an aura of malice beyond this world’s boundaries.

  “I thought I could take a little break before this other problem started getting annoying,” she sighed.

  “Merh…! MERH!!! I’LL DESTROY IT ALL! YOU AND EVERYONE HEREEEE!”

  And the voice of eri reverberated across the entire desert, her drowned corpse reanimated and infused with a malevolent and poisonous Primal Power, mutating her into an undead spider-like woman fused with Set’s steel and wires, ultimately giving them the appearance of a massive Arae.

  “Seriously, you really won’t let me have a small break, hm?”

  As Bing Xue prepared to fight and finish this, across the other cities, the same se could be seen: the maes that had beeroyed and their pilots all “came back to life” ied by this fog.

  “W-What’s happening?!”

  Mursha panicked as she saw the giant female meical goddess she had sin suddenly transform into a huge dragonfly and spider-like chimeric metallistrosity.

  “RAAAARRGHH!”

  Its painful metallic scream reverberated across the entire desert as it flew not towards her but towards Alejandria, only leaving behind the smaller spider mohat charged against the city.

  “Fiery Hair! Look!”

  “Ah?! Huh?!”

  “GRUOOOHHH!”

  Peperina and Fiery Hair noticed the giant stone-wielding meical god they fought rapidly reform itself, ied by new powers and reanimated, fused with its pilot, and turned into a massive beetle and spider hybrid monstrosity.

  It spread out its massive wings, flying away as the girls gave chase, leaving behind the other huo take care of the meical spiders.

  “What in the world?!”

  “Urbosa, don’t let him escape!”

  “SHAAAHHH!”

  At the same time, Urbosa ae gnced as a massive tipede and spider-like hybrid abomination emerged from the tless meical snake heads they had cut down, merged with the old man that died inside of the mae. The monstrosity moved across the desert seeking something.

  Bing Xue, who had spread her Doppelgangers everywhere, could clearly see that something odd was going on; instead of aiming for the cities, the reanimated giant maes all ran towards eri.

  “Is this Primal G to match my strength by merging them all together? Ridiculous…”

  However, after having seen all those fights without participating that much, Bing Xue wao stretch a bit and try her new abilities.

  “Hmm, maybe I’ll let you do that. Fiertain me.”

  She seemed expet.

  “But please, don’t disappoint me.”
