Omega Summoner

Chapter 1450: Mastermind in the Shadows

”Using artifacts that the Sun God Ra have created against me… You people truly are evil conspirators of the Distorted God Apophis. You will never be able to subdue me! I would rather die than be under your subordination.” The Goddess Sekhmet stated.

”Why is she insisting that we are under the Distorted God Apophis?” Levin Cloud asked as he arrived at the location where the weakened Goddess Sekhmet crashed.

”I think it is because of this.” Adrian stated as he suddenly grabbed the Spirit of Apophis that clung tightly to the right wrist of the Goddess Sekhmet.

”It is not letting you get it though. It is very stuck on her wrist.” Frey stated.

”Stop! This is something that was given to me by the Sun God Ra! You must never take it away from me!” The Goddess Sekhmet shouted with her lungs as she even roared at all of them, but she was too weak to even stop Adrian.

”As expected of a spirit. It even has the ability to corrode the mind of a fully descended goddess. Can you guys hold her? This would hurt a bit and she might fight back.” Adrian stated but all of the people around were silent.

”Why are you guys not holding her down?” Adrian asked.

”You are telling us to actually touch a goddess. I do not want to get hit by divine retribution. The avatars should do it since they are closer to their patron gods anyway.” Levin Cloud stated.

”I am still very tired from using such powerful spell that I might not have the power to hold a goddess down.” Cheops stated as he acted as if his wings became flimsy.

”I feel faint! I do not have the energy to hold her down as well and might have loose hands.” The High Priestess Estet stated as she suddenly fell gracefully to the sand.

”Wimps.” Adrian stated as he suddenly kicked the Goddess Sekhmet so that she will lie down on the sand.

The avatars were horrified upon seeing what Adrian did to the Goddess Sekhmet and the High Priestess Estet almost fainted. Even the players surrounding Adrian were murmuring words that he must never hear or else he might kill all of them. Some actually gave Adrian a thumbs up because he was showing authority over a goddess.

”Sirius and Charon, hold her down to make sure that she does not flail.” Adrian stated as he used all of his nether energy onto his hands.

Adrian gripped the Spirit of Apophis with all his might and even used all his nether energy to make the coiled-up ash grey serpent to release its grip. As soon as the nether energy touched the Spirit of Apophis, the unrelenting ash grey serpent suddenly screamed in pain. The Spirit of Apophis also shared senses with the Goddess Sekhmet which means she also screamed in pain.

”No!” The Goddess Sekhmet shouted as she tried igniting her body once more.

”This will hurt you more and not hurt me so please bear with it. If you want to know who is torturing you like this then my name is Cheops, the Avatar of Horus.” Adrian stated as he knew that the Goddess Sekhmet was not really fully cognitive.

Adrian already had his doubts when the Goddess Sekhmet could not listen to reason when she calmed down a bit when fighting them. He feels as if the vision of the Goddess Sekhmet is being clouded by something and he remembered that the Spirit of Apophis is still attached to her upon awakening. He more or less guessed that the snake fragment might have been the reason why she was not calming down.

”As if she could only see us as underlings of the Distorted God Apophis.” Adrian stated as he clutched the Spirit of Apophis.

The Spirit of Apophis started losing its grip towards the Goddess Sekhmet and tried everything in its power to make sure that Adrian does not continue what he is doing. The Spirit of Apophis is not like other fragments as it was sealed with the Goddess Sekhmet and is very weak. The Spirit of Apophis had to live like a parasite to make sure that it will not go into a deep slumber.

The Spirit of Apophis knew that it will not be able to resist slumber unless it tried to absorb energy from the Goddess Sekhmet. This is very dangerous though as the Goddess Sekhmet has the power of the sun in her veins which is the antithesis of the Distorted God Apophis.

The serpent fragment had to sacrifice much of its remaining strength in order to absorb energy from the Goddess Sekhmet safely. In its desperation, the Spirit of Apophis bared its small fangs and bit Adrianʼs hands, but the latter did not even flinch. Adrian actually welcomed it as the Spirit of Apophis is now directly afflicted with nether energy.

”Did not like what you took a bite off? I am almost finished here. Sister, please command the shadow troupe to search for the origin of that dagger.” Adrian stated as he pointed towards the peculiar dagger on the ground.

”Consider it done.” Solstice stated as she handed the dagger to Awraka which then vanished.

The Spirit of Apophis could not handle the properties of nether energy and suddenly broke down. The Spirit of Apophis could be considered as a spiritual being which means Adrian will have some jurisdiction over it. If the Distorted God Apophis is in danger when exposed to nether energy, then its fragment would be in a worse state.

[You have obtained the Spirit of Apophis (Sealed).]

In the dark corners of the clouds, a being that is dressed in dark green robes is looking at Adrian. He clicked his tongue as he could not believe that his plan failed because of the Champion of the Twin Gods.

”I even helped that weak mortal in awakening the Goddess Sekhmet, but he was as useless as I thought he would be.” The unknown being stated as he vanished in a puff of green smoke with frosty air.
