chapter-1569
The Distorted God Apophis has already reached the location given to her by the Avatar of Babi. Her new form could be said as very alluring but the aura around her makes anything feel intense fear. It is said that darkness was the first source of fear for the primal living beings as it is something ancient and unknown.
The Sun God Ra and the Distorted God Apophis were such beings as they were the first born of their respective dimension. They were only known as Ra and Apophis back then as one appeared when the other came into being. No one was higher than the other as they were of equal standing.
They also fulfilled different duties as Ra was the one that wanted to create beings. In order for that to happen, one of them needed to seal away the darkness. As Apophis was the one that had the control over darkness itself, it decided that it will be the one to fulfill this duty.
When the darkness was pushed to the corners of the universe, the God Ra started the creation of the first spark of light. With the first spark of light, new gods were born, and they looked at Ra as their creator and father. With the aid of the newly born gods, the new universe of Hiero was born with the gods of creation being the Ra and Apophis.
Although Apophis made great contribution to create the universe, the beings in the universe did not ray to it like they did with Ra. Instead of prayer for protection, Apophis received warnings to not enter their domain as it rules over darkness. Apophis did not mind this as it could still view the human beings it helped create but there was a slight bitterness in its heart.The Gods of the Hiero universe called themselves the Ennead as given to them by the humans that prayed to them. Since it was humans that created the name of the group, Apophis was not given a place in the Pantheon. Still, Apophis had followers back then that would pray to it for the safe passage of night which it blessed them for safety in the cover of the night.
Apophis was fine with any number of followers as long as they prayed to him with pure thoughts. The good times do not last long though as the invading gods that prey on other universes found Hiero. The Ennead fought with all their might to protect their followers as much as they could, but the billion lives suddenly shrunk to a few thousand.
The invaders were none other than gods that were also stolen of their home or those that have been corrupted by what they call the void. Gods with their universe stolen or destroyed are called Dark Gods as they could no longer stay in their own dimension. Gods that have become corrupted by the void are called Distorted Gods as they become a twisted version of themselves.
Some gods have retained their high level of intellect of compassion but there are more that have just lost their minds. The gods that lost their minds are usually the Distorted Gods and it is said that any god that becomes one would ravish and destroy worlds to sate their pain. The one that attacked the Hiero universe was none other than a Distorted God called Raa Vaa.
The Ennead were unable to defeat the Distorted God Raa Vaa which is why they needed to flee even if they needed to sacrifice their universe to do so. They would rather become dark gods than have all of their creations wiped out. Ra and Apophis knew that they are the only ones that can have a fighting chance against the Distorted God Raa Vaa.
The Ennead along with Apophis fought against the Distorted God Raa Vaa as their remaining followers were sent to another universe. In the end, their universe had to be sacrificed as they could not defeat the Distorted God Raa Vaa. Apophis did not want to give up and did something that the other gods of Hiero did not expect.
The darkness that Apophis kept was unleased into the universe which led to a rift in the dimension. A part of the void was exposed, and Apophis absorbed energy from this powerful source but cannot easily control it. Apophis was able to become even stronger, but it also meant that it is no longer the god that they once knew.Apophis transformed into the Distorted God of Primal Darkness and unleased its wrath against the Distorted God Raa Vaa. The fight of the two distorted gods destroyed the universe entirely but Apophis managed to defeat the Distorted God Raa Vaa. One might think that it is a good thing, but everything has a price.
Apophis managed to retain its intellect when battling the Distorted God Raa Vaa but exhaustion made its divine core weak. The energy from the void is otherworldly and cannot be hoped to be controlled by gods or beings that are not born inside of it. The restricted feelings that the Distorted God Apophis kept suddenly exploded and took over its mentality.
Since the Distorted God Apophis and the God Ra was connected to each other, the God Ra also became the antithesis of the Distorted God Apophis. Ra has become the Sun God Ra and became the only one that could stop the Distorted God Apophis on its rampage. It was this time that the Distorted God Apophis has become a being that became the eternal enemy of the father of the Ennead.
The Distorted God Apophis followed the Sun God Ra to the universe of Pandemonium which was extremely big in scale. It was only at that time when the Distorted God Apophis was able to be sealed in its own dimension by the Asmodians. The Ennead which was in the hundreds suddenly became low in number as a lot of the gods perished due to the universal travel.
"We are ready to do the ritual, master." The Follower of Apophis stated which woke the Distorted God Apophis from its trip down to memory lane.
"Start as I want to greet my favorite Ennead after all." The Distorted God Apophis stated.
The followers of Apophis laid out the magic formation as they were given permission to start. The Temple of Thoth was different from the other Ennead because he was the only one that would talk to Apophis back then when the others avoided it. The God Thoth is a curious fellow which liked the company of Apophis as the latter has the knowledge of creation.
The magic formation was placed, and the Distorted God Apophis immediately filled it with her miasma. The magic formation glowed in an ominous dark golden light as a tear in the dimension appeared. The barren dark sands were suddenly split into two as if a knife tore up another layer in the dimension.
A tall spire temple that has the background of the moon appeared in the other side as the temple was actually hidden in another dimension. The Distorted God Apophis smiled as this is something that only the God Thoth could do because he is god of the moon, sacred texts, mathematics, the sciences, magic, messenger and recorder of the deities, master of knowledge, and patron of scribes.
The most intelligent and prepared god among the Ennead as he is someone the others would also not want to have on their bad side. The God Thoth was also the only other god that could equal the Sun God Ra as the former fully understands himself and everything that revolves around the world. A god that is equivalent to a Primordial God when he gets serious in fighting.
"Should we proceed, master?" The followers of Apophis asked as they were now able to open a rift.
"We do not need to proceed because the master of the temple has already shown himself to us." The Distorted God Apophis stated as a floating figure with the helmet of an Ibis appeared from the top of the spire temple.
"It seems that it is true that you have managed to revive yourself but with the assistance of foreign ones. To think that you trusted them when it was also foreign gods that made our universe suffer." The man with the golden ibis helmet stated.
"As expected of you… Already descended into your avatar or should I say your vessel. The others would have scorned you for what you did but that is all that they can do. I need my parts that are kept inside of your temple." The Distorted God Apophis stated.
The human that was flying using magic was none other than the God Thoth that has already merged with his vessel. Two gods with vessels have met with each other and the pressure in the surrounding area could be described as heavy. With a wave of his staff, the magic formation that took an hour to create collapsed.
"Let us talk." The God Thoth stated.
