Omega Summoner

Chapter 1347: Players to the West

The sudden world quest given to all the players rang alarm bells to those that are not from the western continent. All the players that wanted to participate in the world quest that is not of the western continent suddenly started their research. They started looking for videos or references on what the world quest was about.

The first thing that they learned is that the quest is about stopping what is called the Shadow of Apophis from collecting all fragments sealed in the western continent. They learned that Apophis was a being in the olden times that wanted to devour the world. It is also the greatest enemy of the Sun God Ra as they are always fighting every night.

They also learned that the Sun God Ra was not an active god in the western continent but they do not know the reason for it. Since they learned of the basic information of the Distorted God Apophis, all the players interested started booking ways of transportation towards the western continent.

All transportation towards the western continent is suddenly booked and people could not catch any boats towards it. Some even decided to test their luck by stowing away on the ships but they were kicked out when they were found out. Some were lucky enough but there is a vast majority that were unlucky.

The transportation problem also became profitable venture to all of the players that build machines. Players that are of the Gnome Kingdom built a massive airship that could carry ten thousand people. They are all cashing in on the fact that the players are desperate for the transportation to the western continent.

Not only transportation but also the videos regarding the western continent are blowing up. Any video that has the appearance of the Shadow of Apophis will immediately get a million views in an instant. There are even live streamers that show the path of destruction that the Shadow of Apophis is doing.

”We are now safe.” Adrian stated as he already transported all of the people that came with them.

He sent them all to the Temple of Seth first as they have the most number. He would send the priests of the Temple of Bastet later when his skill has finished its cooldown. He could see that all of them are incredibly tired while some are still ins hock about the scene that they witnessed.

They immediately escaped when Adrian could control the space around them perfectly. They also witnessed the Shadow of Apophis devouring the transformed Anipe. They also saw the divine energy from Anipeʼs body being transferred to the Shadow of Apophis as it is also the reason why they needed to escape immediately.

When Siriusʼ domain ended, all the illusions that he conjured up vanished as well. The Shadow of Apophis then looked at all of them with hunger in its eyes which is why Adrian told them to immediately leave while they still have the chance. The Goddess Bastet even used all of her remaining power to create a powerful barrier that stopped the Shadow of Apophis.

The Goddess Bastet using a powerful barrier like that costed the energy of the High Priestess Estetʼs body but they were safe. Adrian pulled all of them into the portal without delay as the barrier broke from the power of the fang of Apophis. Giving another vessel as food to the Shadow of Apophis will only make it stronger.

”Safe is an understatement. The Shadow of Apophis is released into the world, and we did not even manage to seal it back again.” Cairo stated as he is a bit frustrated.

”We cannot focus on that now as the Shadow of Apophis will surely go to the other fragments. I did see reports that it seems to be moving slowly because it takes a lot of energy to move its gigantic body. There are fragments of Apophis being sealed in the Temple of Seth and the Temple of Bastet.

We should focus our energy on the temples that are guarding the fragments. Where are the other fragments located? Fortunately for us, the Shadow of Apophis does not seem to be interested in getting human followers as it is more interested in eating them.” Adrian asked as he wanted to make sure that the other fragments could be tracked.

”The other fragments are being held by the Temple of Thoth and the Temple of Horus. The first one is a secretive temple where even I do not have a full grasp of where it is located while the second one is guarded by swirling sand tornadoes. Both temples will have sufficient power to protect the fragment.” Sadiki stated.

”Even if they are protected that does not mean that we should not warn them. We must return to the Temple of Bastet to prepare for our defense against the Shadow of Apophis.” The High Priestess Estet stated as she regained consciousness.

”I believe that you are correct but we can reach the Temple of Horus but the Temple of Thoth is another matter. Even we do not have direct connection with them as they tend to not bother with the outside world as much.” Sadiki stated as he told one of his attendants to fetch the messenger hawk for the Temple of Horus.

”I will alert the Temple of Horus as I have a way to contact the Vessel of Horus.” The High Priestess Estet stated as if she did not want to do so but is forced into it.

”I remember now! Were not in a relationship with the Vessel of Thoth? Are you already in speaking terms with him after what you did last time?” Sadiki stated a juicy bit of information which made Adrian and Cairo look at the High Priestess Estet.

”You should worry about protecting your fragment than me not being able to contact him. We, the Temple of Bastet, are proficient in defensive barriers but attacking is not something that we are strong at. I need to rally the other temples that are near us to fight against the Shadow of Apophis.” The High Priestess Estet stated.

”If only we could transport some of our resources immediately.” Sadiki stated as he suddenly looked towards Adrian hoping that he will volunteer.

”I want to help you but I am helping the Sun God Ra. If you are worried about the fact that there is no fighting force, then all of you are in luck because a lot of adventurers from the other continents are gathering here.” Adrian stated.

”To think that the proud warriors of the western continent will need help with the threat that we have been facing ever since time immemorial. If only the western continent is united as it was when the Sun God Ra was at the peak of his power. If that happened, then the serpent would have been easily defeated.” Sadiki stated in a rather depressed tone.

”Do not worry as I will tell the Daemos to allow adventurers access to the western continent. The first place that they will have access to will be the Temple of Bastet. Right now, the Shadow of Apophis is still moving slowly which means we have time.” Adrian stated to make sure that the atmosphere is still positive.

”You guys need to remember that the Sun God Ra has awakened. We just need to buy some time so that he could ascend once more. If that happens then even the Shadow of Apophis will perish.” Cairo stated with a smile.

”Unfortunately, even if you retrieve my last soul fragment… I am still not able to go back to my original power.” The Sun God Ra stated as Cairo delivered his missing soul fragment.

The two of them immediately returned after Adrian sent the priests of Bastet back to their temple. Cairo was extremely happy that his patron god was about to return to full power but he suddenly slouched when he heard the reality of the situation. Adrian consoled Cairo as he really did love the western continent and does not want him to see it get destroyed.

”I know that I am such a disappointment, my child. I have been sealed for far too long while the Shadow of Apophis has been awakened for such a long time. My last soul fragment was also extremely weakened. I cannot fight against the Shadow of Apophis in my state like this alone.” The Sun God Ra stated.

”What you need is time to stabilize. Are there any ways for it to become quicker?” Adrian asked.

”If I was still venerated by a lot of people then I might have recovered faster. A temple in my name could also help me harness the energy of the sun more but all of my temples are no longer maintained. The temples have likely been destroyed through the harsh passage of time.” The Sun God Ra stated.

”We still have a temple!” Cairo suddenly stated with great enthusiasm.
