Chapter 1536 The Mysterious Man
The twenty minutes that Adrian promised vanished as a mysterious being suddenly appeared. Adrian could not believe the energy coming from this being as it was another demigod. Adrian did not sense any demigods in the area except for this mysterious man which is why he was puzzled.
This mysterious man suddenly appeared out of thin air, but Adrian believed that he was here earlier. A demigod does not just immediately pop out of the bush work. The only logical conclusion for this to happen is that this demigod being great at concealment.
The mysterious man picked up the flesh cocoon containing the Vessel of Apophis and suddenly jumped towards the hot deserts of the western continent. Adrian wanted to give chase, but he stopped himself because his body sensed the immense tearing of the fabric of reality. Adrian knew that he must do hi duty or else everything would be in vain.
"I shall give chase." Solstice stated as she immediately tried to give chase.
"I shall follow her as well." The injured Frey stated as she sensed something familiar with the demigod that suddenly appeared.
The two women gave chase to the mysterious man but that does not mean that the forces of the Followers of Apophis would let them off. Soleil and Peridot immediately met on the shores and used their elemental spells to stop any being from giving chase to Solstice and Frey.
"We can handle this. You must do your duty already, Equinox." Peridot stated as she knew that the only reason Adrian did not chase is the fact that a large crack in the sky started to form.
"I agree with Big sister Peridot on this one. We can handle the aftermath of the battle and we are just that unfortunate this time." Soleil stated as she knew that they have all failed in stopping the descent of the Distorted God Apophis.
"I will follow all of you guys when I finish. We can still win if we could stop that demigod. Inform all of the guilds that are in the western continent about the things that happened. We cannot stop such a grand scheme on our own anymore." Adrian stated as he flew towards the sky.
Adrian appreciated the things that they said to him and made sure to quickly finish up what he has promised to do. He left his guild members and flew to the skies as he needed to fix the sudden dimensional rift that appeared. As soon as Adrian flew towards the sky to fix the rift, all of the lands in the western continent suddenly became heavy.
A powerful suppression suddenly fell on all the beings inside the western continent. The suppression differs on how powerful a being's persona or strength is. Normal people that were not protected by the avatars fainted. Stronger people would just feel like gravity suddenly became stronger, but they all knew what that was.

All the players in the world received the notification which gave them a triple S ranked quest. It was not yet at a level of a world quest, but the difficulty would surely skyrocket if everyone failed this quest. Some of the players already knew what happens when a god truly descends unto the world as they change the very nature of the area that they are in.
The Distorted God Apophis is not terraforming its surroundings because it sealed its own power for now so that the repulsion from the world is not great. It plans to slowly accumulate more strength as it plans to breakthrough the upper cap of the mortal realm which is Lesser God status. The Distorted God Apophis knew that the world would try its best to repel it should it descend with the strength of a Lesser God.
The Distorted God Apophis knew that the Western Continent Gods have used some of their divine power to give the inhabitants of this world a quest to stop him, but it just laughed at the attempt. The Distorted God Apophis knew that such attempts are futile because its plan was already almost at the end. The Western Continent Gods should have done something like this when its shadow was released but now is too late.

Solstice and Frey disregarded the quest that suddenly popped up in front of them as they were chasing the being that carried the flesh cocoon. They knew that they were not the same power level as the demigod, but he was not their target but the cocoon. Solstice brandished her blood weapons and launched it towards the flesh cocoon.
The mysterious demigod just dodged the attacks instead of counterattacking. The demigod did not retaliate and just continued his travel towards the Distorted God Apophis. He did not even pay attention to what Solstice was doing as long as he could dodge the attacks.
Frey and Solstice noticed this behavior as a bit weird because demigods would have found this offensive. The demigod that they are chasing has clear intentions and that is helping the Distorted God Apophis but the two could clearly feel that he was foreign to the western continent. The demigod that they are chasing clearly looked like a person that is from somewhere north due to his facial features.
"I am locked in. Gungnir!" Frey shouted as her spear suddenly transformed into a ray of light and is hurled to target the flesh cocoon.
Frey's skill called Gungnir is a sure hit skill that cannot be dodged as her spear would follow the target once she is locked. The only way to stop her spear would be to completely nullify it or use a barrier tough enough to defend against the attack. The demigod suddenly shivered for a slight moment as he heard the name of the skill.
The demigod that only ran away from them suddenly stopped in his tracks and created a barrier enveloping him and the flesh cocoon. Frey's spear suddenly clashed with the barrier that the demigod created and protected himself with the flesh cocoon. Frey's spear returned back to her as her skill was completely deflected.
"To think that I would experience my brother's skill here in the mortal realm. And it was even from a Valkyrie which is greatly ironic. Little caged bird, do you know what happened to your matron?" The mysterious demigod stated as he is now paying attention to Frey.
Frey shivered as the mysterious demigod seems to be reading her like a book. She suddenly felt like the demigod before her has some slight affinity to her as the power coursing through her is comparable to his aura. This only happens if they are in the same faction of gods which meant that the demigod in front of her has connection to the Nordic Gods.
"Who are you and why have you come to aid the Distorted God Apophis?" Frey stated as she gripped her spear with both hands.
"I am afraid that I cannot answer that little bird because your people are no longer counted as one of us." The mysterious demigod stated.
