Although the crisis caused by Ammit came to an end, it didn't mean things were over.
On the contrary.
The real plan had just begun... No, it should be said that from the day Karl set his sights on the [Egyptian Pantheon], they had already entered a countdown to destruction!!
[The Hall of Gods].
Arthur Harrow arranged the dozen or so [Ushabti] he had collected in a row around him, then sat cross-legged, entering a meditative state to await the orders of his true master... [Tzeentch].
Behind him on the ground, there were more than a dozen corpses of the Shoe Cult neatly arranged.
Just like Lyra El's corpse before, these corpses were all used to seal the so-called "gods" within the [Ushabti].
After an unknown amount of time, a ball of blue [Warpfire] suddenly lit up on his forehead, and then [Tzeentch]'s voice sounded in his mind.
"Send the next one to the [Warp]..."
"As you command, great [Lord of Change]!!"
Arthur Harrow slowly stood up from the ground, then dragged a corpse into the center of the judgment platform formed by nine life-size god statues.
Then, he grabbed a lion-shaped [Ushabti] and smashed it heavily on the ground.
Crack—
The moment the [Ushabti] shattered, a cloud of black mist spread out, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a huge figure with a human body and a lion's face, wearing a golden crown, in the center of the judgment platform.
"I am [Maahes], son of [Bast], the [Lion God]... Mortal who released me, to thank you for your kindness, I will grant you extraordinary power. Are you ready to become my agent?"
Maahes, the so-called [Lion God], as usual, excitedly finished his opening remarks... However, facing the olive branch he offered, Arthur Harrow on the opposite side seemed to turn a deaf ear.
"￥#*@%*\u0026..."
Along with an obscure and incomprehensible incantation, a divine power shot out from Arthur Harrow's right hand, then passed through the nine god statues in succession.
The statues that were passed through by the divine power also began to emit bursts of strange light containing divine power, as if they had been lit up.
And these powers all came from the owners of each statue... that is, the new [Ennead].
Because [The Hall of Gods] was actually a place specially used by their mortal agents to judge those disobedient gods.
It's just that they never imagined that one day someone would use this to "exploit a bug"?!
Finally, the divine power released by Arthur Harrow reconnected to his left hand after circling around, completing the final closure.
Whoosh—
An irresistible divine power instantly dragged Maahes' consciousness and power into the dry corpse below.
When he came back to his senses, he found that he had been resealed.
Except this time, he was sealed in a human corpse.
"Damn it, you... you despicable human, how dare you seal the great [Lion God] in a mortal's corpse?"
But what responded to Maahes was Arthur Harrow's evil smile and the heavy smash of his staff.
Bang—
The head of the corpse sealing Maahes was instantly shattered like a watermelon.
...
[Detected a high-level soul that can be collected, Warp Soul +1]
...
"What kind of bullshit [Lion God]? Only the great [Lord of Change] is the only true god in the world!!"
Arthur Harrow sat cross-legged again, and muttered with a pious expression: "Great [Lord of Change], thank you for giving me the wisdom to adapt to changes..."
"I am willing to sweep away all resistance for you, and make them submit humbly..."
"Wherever there is faith in a group of false gods, I will make them obey the [Lord of Change]..."
"As long as our enemies still survive, I will bring them the deathly visit of the 'Changer'!"
...
[The Warp].
After Slaanesh successfully swallowed the last "god"—[Scorpion Goddess] Selket—into her belly, a look of aftertaste appeared on her beautiful face.
At this time, Ammit, who had already been trained to be docile, lay motionless on the ground next to Khorne's [Brass Throne] like a good baby... Beside her was another good baby, [Shou Lao].
So bloody, so cruel!!
These guys actually dare to eat "gods"?
Ammit suddenly realized that compared to the actions of the Four Chaos Gods, she was simply like a naive girl who had never seen the world.
Fortunately, the Four Chaos Gods were short of "thugs" at the moment, and Khorne happened to think that Ammit was a promising talent... The most important thing was that her strength had not reached the standard to be devoured by Him.
So Ammit was lucky enough to get her life back, and waited obediently like [Shou Lao] to be transformed into a Greater Daemon by Khorne.
In fact, besides Ammit, there were two other high-level souls who were lucky enough to escape being devoured by the Four Chaos Gods.
That was [Archangel] Michael and [Fallen Angel] Bryse.
Due to the light attribute on Michael, he was unexpectedly favored by the Emperor, so after Karl's approval, he became the first [E-Greater Daemon] under the golden big guy!
And Bryse was specially retained by Khorne to manage the demon army under his command because of his excellent combat power and leadership ability.
As for the other [Fallen Angels] and [Demon Princes], they were not as lucky as the two of them, and they all became "tonics" for the Four Chaos Gods to increase their power.
Of course, all of this was carried out under Karl's instruction.
In his opinion, the crisis from other dimensions is gradually intensifying, so the next step is to first improve the overall strength of the Four Chaos Gods in order to win better development for the [Warp].
As for the phased plan of using high-level souls to create Greater Daemons, it will not be too late to start after successfully destroying the [Egyptian Pantheon].
Anyway, he has plenty of time!
"Boss, the last one has also been successfully devoured."
The Four Chaos Gods changed back to human form and came to Karl excitedly.
"Very good."
Karl nodded with satisfaction.
After the Four Chaos Gods successively devoured the souls and powers of more than a dozen Egyptian gods and more than a dozen [Demon Princes], Karl could clearly feel an extremely powerful divine power fluctuation from the four of them at this moment.
Their strength had increased by at least two levels compared to before.
After all, calculating it, each of them had devoured at least six high-level souls... and these high-level souls all came from [Demon Princes] and [Egyptian Gods]!
Karl initially speculated that the current strength of the Four Chaos Gods should have exceeded the so-called [Skyfather-level] gods headed by Odin.
As for whether they can reach the [Single Universe] level like Dormammu, this cannot be verified for the time being.
(Note: The strength division here is based on the expressiveness in the [Movie Universe], after all, the ones in the comics are all "version gods", which is easy to confuse)
However, this power increase on the Four Chaos Gods is obviously unstable at the moment.
Just like people who have just eaten need a certain amount of digestion time to convert the food in their stomachs into their own energy, the Four Chaos Gods also need a certain amount of time to fuse these powers.
"How long do you need to prepare?"
Tzeentch pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose with one finger and said respectfully:
"Boss, we only need about a week to completely integrate the powers we just absorbed into our own."
"But if you add the time it takes to transform those ordinary souls into soldiers in the next stage... the overall calculation requires at least half a month."
The latest novels are first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!!
After a pause, as if afraid that his boss would feel impatient because of the long wait, Tzeentch thought for a while and quickly added:
"This time can be used to make the magic circle needed to go to [Celestial Heliopolis] in the next stage. I have ordered my two Chosen Ones to start preparing."
"Oh?"
Karl raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "Besides Arthur Harrow, who else did you mobilize?"
As everyone knows, Old T, who is good at planning, has the most Chosen Ones under his command.
The two Chosen Ones who were selected to build the magic circle this time will be directly ascended to daemonhood after the magic circle is completed, abandoning their bodies and returning to the [Warp].
So from Karl's point of view, this is undoubtedly a "self-sacrifice" mission.
He really wanted to know, besides Arthur Harrow, which one would Tzeentch choose to sacrifice?
After all, unlike the other three, each Chosen One under Old T means a plan in progress.
"Trevor Slattery."
Tzeentch showed a confident look on his face and replied truthfully: "Although his ability is average, his magical talent is still quite good... What's more, it's time to close the line there."
"That's not a bad choice."
Karl immediately thought of the plot of [Iron Man 3] in his mind.
However, due to the influence of "world fusion", and the inevitable changes and impacts caused by the [Warp Group] on the original plot and key figures in the process of rising, he is now a little unsure whether those scenes in [Iron Man 3] will be staged as scheduled.
But with the changes in strength and mentality, such changes are no longer a threat to Karl.
Even if the direction of the plot becomes completely different, he still has the confidence to solve and deal with any emergencies.
So, let the storm come more violently!!
"You can act according to the specific details... But there is one thing I must remind you of."
Karl said with a solemn expression: "After all, this is the first time our [Warp] has launched a war against other dimensions, so no mistakes are allowed in the middle."
"If the members of the [Egyptian Gods] cannot be resolved cleanly, I am afraid it will attract the attention and targeting of the [Pantheon], thus stealing chicken without losing rice."
"So I hope you four can work together during this period and take [Celestial Heliopolis] in one fell swoop!!"
The Four Chaos Gods heard the words and guaranteed in a firm tone: "Don't worry, Boss, this time it's all up to us!!"
"Very good."
Karl nodded with satisfaction when he saw this, "To ensure sufficient troops, this time I will reward you with all the demon souls harvested recently."
Then Karl began to distribute this month's KPI rewards.
Tzeentch won the "sales champion" of this month's KPI assessment with million [Reputation Points], overwhelmingly surpassing the other three!
There was no way, Arthur Harrow's performance in [Egypt] this month was too dazzling, almost taking care of the president by the way, so that the Chosen Ones of the other three could not reach it!
Then, Karl uniformly expanded their exclusive dimensional space for the Four Chaos Gods according to the prescribed commission method.
Tzeentch Space: cubic meters
Slaanesh Space: cubic meters
Khorne Space: cubic meters
Nurgle Space: cubic meters
After settling all the rewards, Karl went to Tzeentch's [Crystal Labyrinth] alone, listened to him talk about the specific details of the [God-Slaying Plan], and then returned to the real world from the [Warp].
Picking up the glass of red wine and coming to the floor-to-ceiling window, Karl looked at the dark and quiet night outside the window and raised his glass to the bright moon.
"Next, the good show is about to begin!!"
…………
...
[Malibu, 10880].
At this moment, in the studio on the second basement floor of the villa, Tony Stark is using the AI butler [Jarvis] to digitally reconstruct a crime scene of an explosion.
Just last night, Happy Hogan, his confidant who was promoted to the head of the security department of [Stark Industries], was accidentally injured in an explosion while tracking a suspicious target, and is still being rescued in the ICU.
Then the damn [Ten Rings Gang] announced on the Internet that they were responsible for the incident.
Tony Stark felt very guilty about this. He was a little overwhelmed and went to the hospital to visit Happy Hogan yesterday. In front of all the reporters and media squatting there, he publicly declared war on the [Ten Rings Gang], and also announced the location of his villa in public.
So after returning home, Tony Stark used [Jarvis]'s powerful search function to retrieve all the information and news related to the [Ten Rings Gang] and the Mandarin from the databases of [.], [FBI], [CIA], etc.
Soon, [Jarvis] used 3D holographic projection technology to restore the explosion scene, and also specially marked many key information related to the [Ten Rings Gang] and the Mandarin in the form of sticky notes around it.
"Okay, let's see what these villains are capable of!"
Tony Stark quickly browsed it, but when he saw an internal report related to [Kuwit Salem Air Force Base], he couldn't help but frowned.
The content of the report was very concise, roughly saying that nearly 1,200 American soldiers at [Kuwit Salem Air Force Base] were almost all killed in a terrorist attack.
Moreover, most people didn't even leave behind complete corpses.
Furthermore, according to nearby residents, this sudden attack is likely related to certain demonic creatures…
