All of the players and soldiers that came with the Goddess Bastet are clad in a translucent silhouette of a feline which symbolized that they are blessed by the goddess. The Shadow of Apophis knew that its forces would be slaughtered if it did not do anything which is why it rose its head to the sky.
"Descend upon me, my other half!" The Shadow of Apophis stated as a black pillar of light descended on it as soon as the sun has set.

The Shadow of Apophis suddenly grew larger as a result of overwhelming power surging upon its body. The monsters under it are also buffed by the power of the Shadow of Apophis as well as the followers of the dark gods that joined in the battle. Seeing the size difference between them, the Goddess Bastet immediately made herself bigger as well.
The Goddess Bastet grew to the same height as the Shadow of Apophis in order to battle with the other party on equal ground. The Shadow of Apophis hissed towards the Goddess Bastet, but she was not threatened. She bore her sharp claws and fangs towards the Shadow of Apophis. The battle between the cat goddess and the snake god is a battle of titans.
The followers of each side are waiting for the signal which was the sudden clashing of both the Goddess Bastet and the Shadow of Apophis. The whole area suddenly became covered in pandemonium as each side had different buffs. The buffs that each camp has are polar opposites of each other as one is for defense while the other is for offense.
The reason why the buffs that the allies of the Goddess Bastet are better is due to her turning the area around her temple into a divine realm. She was able to this because her temple has long been built in this area and people have already associated this place with her divine being. This is also the area where all of the prayers to the Goddess Bastet is gathered.
The Distorted God Apophis cannot exert total control of the area which is why only a domain has been set. The fact that the Distorted God Apophis could actually spread influence on an area that is considered as a divine realm means that it is more powerful than a greater god. It could send a wave of interference in a divine realm occupied by another greater god.
Adrian is watching the fight of each side with his mirrors and started to interfere more often. He even sent out all of his soulbounds to assist as monsters are also starting to reach him. Kanlaon could not kill Porom and Charon could also not kill Seam as well even if it had the power of numbers.
"Those two are more troublesome than I thought. The Avatar of Horus Cheops is also met with his match as well as he is fighting the Avatar of Shezmu Lebou. In order to tip the scales in our favor then another avatar must interfere." Adrian thought as he immediately sent a call to Cairo.
"You called?" Cairo asked as he answered the call.
"Are you busy?" Adrian asked.
"There are some monsters coming here but it seems that the Followers of Apophis did not show up at this time. Even a puppet did not come as well which means we might finish defending early. How is it going in your end, guild master?" Cairo asked.
"The situation is at a standstill. We might have bolstered defenses, but the other side has bolstered attack. We need you to summon the power of the Sun God Ra to this location. We cannot have Prince Amon be called here as he is already back in the central continent, and he is also too young to properly control the power of the Sun God Ra." Adrian stated.
"Understood. I shall hurry with the destruction of the monsters here. Please teleport me immediately once I am available." Cairo replied as he dropped the call.
"I guess it is time to spread Aether Energy then. Aether Domain! Aetheros True Form. Limit Break: Summoner." Adrian stated as his form grew by a bit, but he still kept it on the small side to not get much attention.
Adrian resummoned all of his soulbounds including Sirius, but he made sure that Frey is made aware. Adrian's Aetheros True Form: Mirror made him look like a being that is holy with demon traits at the same time. He looked more like a demon version of the Fallen as numerous pure jades, golds and white armor could be seen from his form.
"I am going to need you to protect me. Can you do that for me?" Adrian asked Frey.
"Understood." Frey replied as she boarded the newly armored Sirius.
All of Adrian's soulbound changed to their Aether Forms which had them wearing gold and jade armor while their skin tone changed to a white color. Sirius is now a mix of black and white fur with jade and gold armor stuck to him. He now matches the armor that Frey is wearing a little bit which made them look cohesive.
Kanlaon's golden scales are covered with armor made for a dragon. Saena is clad in gold and jade armor which made her look more holy. Charon turned into an undead that wore white and gold armor while the coffin behind him changed to a jade orb. Dodu looked like a slime wearing amor and its body looked crystalized for some reason, but it was still flexible.
Kimat became an armored tiger that one might see in wuxia power fantasy. Wisteria changed to a more land-based turtle that has a crystallized tree on top of her back. She also looked like a tank as her whole body looked like it was made of jade while her turtle shell became gold in color.
Adrian released the aether dust using his mirrors that are scattered in the battlefield which buffed all of their allies. They were already quite tanky because of the buff that the Goddess Bastet has given them, but Adrian just reinforced it to 200%. He is basically making their side unkillable to buy time as the other side only gets stronger as the night becomes deeper.
"Kill Equinox!" One of the Followers of the Dark Gods shouted as the could see a six-armed deity looking being on top of the cliffs.
The monsters could not reach Adrian as his soulbounds would keep them at bay, but he could be reached with the assistance of enemy players. The followers of the dark gods started to ride on the flying monsters that was gathered by the Shadow of Apophis and headed towards Adrian. He already expected this as he knows that his sudden form change will garner lots of attention.
The followers of the dark gods thought that they could reach Adrian, but they are wrong as he is now being defended by the one known as the Valkyrie. Before the flying monsters could reach Adrian's location, they are already shot down by Frey with simple toss of her spear. She made sure to perfectly hit the wings of the monsters to make them crash down with their passengers.
"Why do you always have to get in our way!?" A female voice shouted as she jumped towards Frey.
Seam and Frey's spear met with each other as the former seems to look quite different now. Seam is looking more like a doll and a shadow suddenly went pass Frey that headed towards Adrian. It was the puppet that mirrors all of Seam's skills and the scissors are aimed at Adrian's head.
