“Damn it, don't let those pink demons cut off our retreat... otherwise, we'll be caught between two fronts next time!!”
The ram-headed Egyptian god waved the scepter in his hand, resisting the fierce attacks of the two Khorne Heralds in front of him, while loudly ordering the surrounding Celestial Warriors.
The Celestial Warriors, regaining their senses, rushed towards the Pink Horrors, while the ranged warriors on the city wall prioritized focusing their attacks on these pink demons that were releasing magical flames.
Before long, the group of Pink Horrors near the city gate, who were randomly releasing magical flames, fell to the ground one after another under the dense attacks.
However, for these strange warp creatures, death is definitely not the end of their lives.
Those Pink Horrors who were not blown their heads off on the spot still let out crazy laughter before they died.
Then their plump, pink bodies automatically decomposed into a mass of magical primal matter, like colorful jelly swirling with flowing light.
Then, in the astonished eyes of a group of Celestial Warriors, a group of slightly smaller [Blue Horrors] with dark blue skin exploded out with a series of "bang, bang, bang" sounds.
These vicious little demons, although they couldn't use magical flames like the Pink Horrors, possessed an astonishingly fast movement speed.
As soon as they were born, they couldn't wait to wave the sharp bone blades in their hands and pounce on the Celestial soldiers who hadn't recovered from their shock.
They began to frantically reap all life in front of them.
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a？？？
The surrounding Celestial Warriors were immediately dumbfounded when they saw this. What was going on with these ghosts? Why were there more and more of them?
However, compared to the Pink Horrors who could release magical flames that meant "death upon contact," the Blue Horrors, who could only use bone blades for close combat, were obviously less threatening in the eyes of the Celestial Warriors.
So after a brief moment of astonishment, they wiped out all the Blue Horrors in front of the city gate with overwhelming force.
However, just as they breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that they had finally stabilized the situation, the same mutation was staged once again!
It turned out that two smaller Yellow Horrors split out from the corpses of the Blue Horrors.
Their shapes looked like a burning yellow flame, and their entire bodies exuded a suffocating stench of sulfur all the time.
After the [Brimstone Horrors] appeared, they waved their arms and threw clusters of stinky, cyan-yellow fireballs randomly at the nearby Celestial Warriors.
“Damn it, what are these things again?”
The ram-headed god's eyes sharpened when he saw this, and a bad premonition rose in his heart. He quickly reminded loudly, “Ahem, everyone be careful, don't get hit by those fireballs...”
But he was still a step too late, and the next second, screams rang out one after another around him.
“Ah, help!!”
“The flesh on my arm... Damn it, why can't these flames be extinguished?”
Those Celestial Warriors who were unfortunately hit by the cyan-yellow fireballs immediately developed large patches of festering flesh on their bodies, which fell down with every twist of their bodies.
Finally, in bursts of desperate wailing, they were burned alive into piles of indescribable rotten flesh, and their souls returned to the [Warp].
Soon, the front of the city gate was shrouded in a large area of dense, stinky smoke.
The surrounding Celestial Warriors, who had no intention of fighting, covered their mouths and noses and quickly retreated into the distance before they completely lost their way.
Those slow-reacting unlucky ones were either fainted by the pungent sulfur smell, or were killed by the hidden Brimstone Horrors.
The defense line that had been painstakingly stabilized in front of the city gate once again fell into endless chaos with the appearance of a large number of Brimstone Horrors.
The stinky smoke, comparable to a biochemical weapon, not only blocked the sight of the soldiers on the city wall, but also made them dizzy.
“Ohhs——”
“Ahhs——”
The strange laughter that came from the smoke from time to time, as well as the endless screams of the Celestial Warriors, accelerated the collapse of the Celestial Legion, directly scaring those Celestial Warriors whose wills were not very firm into a complete rout.
Don't look at the fact that the Celestial Warriors have an absolute advantage in number, but in fact their combat effectiveness is very average. They are only two to three times stronger than ordinary humans in terms of physical fitness.
Their overall strength is not even as good as the Asgardian Palace Guards, so not long after the battle started, they were beaten back steadily by the brutal offensive of the warp demons.
“Nehebket, take your people and go down to help Khnum and the others... Be sure to wipe out all those fire-releasing bastards on the other side!”
Horus, who was a little impatient, pointed to the [Tzeentch Flamers Legion] in the distance, which was fiercely firing, and turned to order a female god with a vulture's head behind him.
Only by clearing out the source of the chaos first could they possibly stabilize the situation again.
“Yes.”
The [Vulture Goddess] named Nehebket immediately flapped her black wings and soared into the sky, leading a group of Celestial Warriors who had transformed into giant vultures, and rushed towards the [Tzeentch Flamers Legion] in the distance, which was constantly releasing magical flames.
“Hmph, truly overestimating yourself.”
Seeing this, Greater Daemon Bris's face couldn't help but reveal a sneer, and then he ordered the [Tzeentch Screamers Legion] and the [Slaanesh Furies Legion], which had been hovering over the battlefield but had been slow to join the battle:
“Go tear those heretics to pieces!”
In an instant, the dark mass of flying demon troops poured out, and collided with the oncoming vulture legion in a few breaths.
When the Screamers swept across the battlefield, their tails would release a burst of dazzling light, and at the same time release terrifying screams from their mouths that lingered throughout the battlefield and were enough to pierce those fragile souls.
And this... is precisely the origin of their name!!
“Roar——”
With a dragon roar, Greater Daemon Shou Lao, who had been lying prostrate in front of [Khorne], had somehow flown into the sky with his huge dragon body.
He opened his huge mouth and spewed out a stream of dark spiritual energy with an aura of decay towards the [Vulture Goddess] Nehebket.
Bang——
Caught off guard, the spiritual energy shock wave hit Nehebket's chest, blasting her far backwards, but before she could flap her wings to regain her balance, Greater Daemon Shou Lao had already approached at lightning speed, and then opened his bloody mouth and directly "crunch" bit her upper body into his stomach.
...
[Prestige Value +888, +888, +888...]
[Detected a high-level soul that can be collected, number of warp souls +1]
[Detected a soul that can be collected, number of warp souls +1, +1, +1...]
...
After easily killing a miscellaneous god, Greater Daemon Shou Lao flew back to the [Brass Throne] and lay down again with little interest.
The enemies were too weak, so that it couldn't muster any interest in fighting at all.
After Nehebket died, the vulture legion, which had just been aggressive, immediately lost its morale and fell into chaos.
They were not the opponents of the Screamers and Furies in the first place.
Now they have directly been reduced to lambs to the slaughter, and it is believed that they will be completely annihilated before long.
“Damn it, how can the strength of these demon leaders be so powerful?”
Seeing one of their gods killed, the remaining gods who were fighting bloody battles all began to retreat.
But at this moment, a light blue figure suddenly flew out from [Sun City], with a pair of huge wings made of gold on its back. It was none other than Isis, the [Goddess of Life, Magic, Marriage, and Fertility], one of the [Ennead].
She is also the mother of [God of Vengeance] Horus.
After Isis flew over the battlefield, she stopped, then urged all the divine power in her body, opened her arms and pushed outwards fiercely.
Whoosh——
A magical storm as strong as a hurricane swept out.
It directly blew away those Screamers and Furies who were besieging the vulture legion in the sky.
Of course, those surviving vulture warriors were also blown away... after all, this move was an indiscriminate attack!
The large area of sulfur smoke that shrouded the front of the city gate was also washed away by this strong magical storm, revealing the figures of the Brimstone Horrors who were happily jumping and singing mocking songs around the corpses of the Celestial Warriors!
Sizzle——
Crackling——
The figure in the sky released powerful divine power again, and lightning bolts fell from the sky like thunder punishments, directly turning the Brimstone Horrors in front of the city gate into coke.
“It's [Goddess of Magic] Isis!!”
“Great, it seems that the [Ennead] are finally going to personally take action...”
“As long as the [Ennead] are here, [Celestial Heliopolis] will never fall!!”
The Celestial Warriors, with greatly boosted morale, launched a new round of offensive against the warp demon army under the leadership of the [Ram God] Khnum.
“Mother? Why are you here!”
Horus looked at Isis in the sky and asked in confusion.
As one of the most powerful [Ennead] in the [Egyptian Pantheon], she shouldn't have personally taken action so quickly.
Under normal circumstances, only after figuring out the strength of the enemy's "king" would Horus call on the rest of the [Ennead] to take action to complete the crucial killing blow.
“Our people should not die in this meaningless slaughter...”
Isis looked at the Celestial Warriors who were constantly dying on the battlefield below, and couldn't help but reveal a trace of unbearable color on her face, but this time she did not continue to attack the enemy, but locked her eyes on the huge [Warp Rift] that seemed to span between heaven and earth in the distance.
“I will find a way to close that dimensional passage, so that we can cut off the enemy's retreat and wipe them out in one fell swoop!!”
After saying that, Isis flapped her golden wings and sped towards the [Warp Rift] in the distance.
“Master, do you want me to stop that woman...”
Bris's pupils narrowed, and his sharp eyes directly locked onto Isis. Although the other party was a member of the [Ennead], he was not much worse.
You must know that before becoming a fallen angel back then, Bris was one of the strongest [Seraphim] in [Heaven].
What's more, he has now accepted [Khorne]'s transformation and been promoted to a Greater Daemon with the [Will of Khorne], and his strength is far beyond what it used to be.
So he really wanted to test what level his current combat power could reach.
“Don't worry about her, someone will naturally take care of her over there.”
[Khorne] said lazily, and it was not difficult to see that He did not take Isis seriously at all. On the contrary, Horus, who was standing on the city wall directing the battle in the distance, aroused a bit of His expectation.
“Huh? Those demons didn't even stop my actions?”
Isis felt a burst of doubt in her heart as she successfully flew over the battlefield. Judging from the quality displayed by the enemy since the start of the war, they shouldn't be unable to guess what she wanted to do next, right?
But if that's the case, then why didn't they intercept her?
Among those powerful demon generals, there were clearly two who had the ability to fly?
However, time was tight at the moment, and Isis didn't have time to think too much. She only thought that the enemy was too busy to take care of her, so she accelerated her flapping wings and came to the front of the [Warp Rift] in a few breaths.
“Arthur Harrow, so it was you, this traitor, who did this!!”
When Isis saw Arthur Harrow's figure among the two human mages who were continuously casting spells on both sides of the [Warp Rift], she immediately understood why these warp demons suddenly appeared in [Celestial Heliopolis].
It must be this traitor who forcibly entered [Celestial Heliopolis] through the [Golden Bridge of the Path of the Gods], and then opened this dimensional passage from the inside.
That's right, it must be like this!
“It seems that as long as these two human mages are killed, this dimensional passage can be forcibly closed, right?”
After making up her mind, Isis immediately activated her divine power and released two crackling lightning pillars from her palms, blasting towards Arthur Harrow and Trevor Slattery below.
However, just as the lightning pillars, as thick as buckets, were about to hit the two of them, a cloud that was constantly changing shape suddenly flew out from the [Warp Rift] and blocked in front of them.
The two lightning pillars bombarded the cloud, but it was like a clay ox entering the sea, without causing any ripples at all.
Whoosh——
A huge eye suddenly appeared above the cloud, and then a purple magic arrow shot out from the pupil with blue flames jumping inside.
Time seemed to stop at this moment, so that Isis, who was suspended in mid-air, clearly wanted to dodge, but her figure was firmly locked in mid-air.
The next second, the purple magic arrow hit Isis's chest, and then disappeared.
Isis, who had regained her mobility, quickly lowered her head to check the injuries on her chest, but found that everything was as good as ever.
“What's going on? Was that just an illusion?”
Just as Isis was hesitant, a bewitching voice suddenly sounded out of thin air in her mind, and then kept whispering in her consciousness.
