"Just as you have predicted master. The puppet created using the help of the Distorted Goddess of Life Manika has already been attacked. A lot of souls have been trapped inside of the barrier as well. Please prepare for a great feast once you have taken the body of the vessel." A follower of Apophis stated as he was carrying a red pillow with a black colored snake resting on top of it.
"It is only a fake, but it has greatly affected the eyes of those that wanted to strike at me. I did not think that the demons would move so fast. They have cleared the mana storm earlier than I have anticipated. Still, the mana storm that I have created would have greatly affected the entire dimension of the world.
The demons would have to use at least one week to close all of the spatial cracks that resulted in the appearance of a grand mana storm. We have a week in order for me to fuse with my vessel as those horned bastards will make sure that I return back to my dimension." The Distorted God Apophis stated as he is now in the form of a three feet snake resting on the red cushion.
"Do not worry, master. This artifact has been prepared for your arrival as it will make sure that your divine energy will not leak. We prepared a thousand years for this artifact as we collected the blood of fifteen avatars just to make this. The demons or demigods will not be able to search for you as long as you are sitting with all your glory in this artifact." The follower of Apophis stated.
"Very good. As expected of someone I blessed to live longer. You shall now resume your role as the leader as the sacrificial lambs have already died." The Distorted God Apophis stated as the previous leaders that were killed before were just substitutes for the real leader that was hiding in the shadows.
"Everything is for your will, my master." The real leader of the Followers of Apophis stated as they reached a hidden room where another large black serpent is resting.
"Greetings, my better half. Should I say my divine half?" The Shadow of Apophis stated as it greeted the black serpent sitting on top of a red cushion.
"I expected that you would have gotten our fragments, but it seems that this part of me has greatly weakened." The Distorted God Apophis stated.
"You cannot blame me for only getting our venom gland as we did not expect that demons would participate early. It seems that a blessed one has been born as a demon which is why the usual unbothered Daemos Race has become pro-active. The lies that were spread using our powers have been overturned since the one named Equinox was born." The Shadow of Apophis stated.
"We have expected some resistance, but the addition of a demon is a definite wild card. The forces of the central continent that should take weeks to arrive was no longer true as they arrived in an instant. The rebirth of the Sun God Ra was also not in our plans as well but that can be easily solved by gathering our remaining fragments." The Distorted God Apophis stated.
"We must hasten our approach as the Nordic Gods have promised full cooperation. The vessel is being sent here as we speak by Loki himself." The Shadow of Apophis stated as the Nordic Gods also became uncertain of waiting due to the actions of the demons.
"Apologies for the interruption. It seems that the God Loki would be a bit late as there were beings in pursuit of him." One of the followers of Apophis reported.
"We shall meet with Loki instead. We must also make haste as being in this form is not proper for a divine being such as myself." The Distorted God Apophis stated as both it and the Shadow of Apophis headed towards the God Loki.

"A barrier has suddenly been erected. I am afraid that even I cannot get inside easily." Adrian stated as he was actually shocked to suddenly have a barrier appear in front of him.
"Can anyone of you get inside?" Adrian asked his soulbounds.
"Apologies, master. Even my shadows cannot penetrate such a special barrier but there is one thing that I can say about this barrier. It is made using blood and many at that." Sirius stated.
"I cannot get inside as well, my master. The barrier was created using pure souls that even I cannot find any corruption to destroy a part of it." Charon stated which made Adrian shudder.
Charon said that the barrier was made using pure souls while Sirius said it has the stench of blood. The only way to create such a powerful barrier like that would be to sacrifice ten thousand lives of children. Their souls would be used as power source to the barrier while their blood as ingredient to create the barrier stone.
Adrian touched the barrier, and he felt the shock of having ten thousand souls scream at him all at once. The souls were screaming to be freed as they were trapped inside and only to be used. Adrian knew that the western continent was harsh, but he did not think that there were people capable of such madness.
"We will have a new plan. We shall destroy this barrier." Adrian stated.
"If you proceed with that plan then you will not have enough energy to search for the Distorted God Apophis. You will also lose half of your fighting potential should you want to destroy the barrier." Paradox stated.
"I am fine with that. We must free these souls first and also help those that are inside. I am afraid that the Distorted God Apophis might use these souls. Should it eat these souls then it will recover a lot of strength." Adrian stated.
"Affirmative. The master's wishes shall be the priority. Calculating the needed force to destroy the barrier. Done…
The master would need to use Netheros True Form and use Nether Explosion at full power." Paradox stated.
"That should be easy. Tell me the process while I am transformed." Adrian stated as he immediately flew towards the middle part of the top of the dome barrier.
"Nether Domain"
"Netheros True Form"
Adrian immediately released all of the nether energy from his body as the barrier was suddenly shrouded by the nether mist. The ones inside of the barrier thought that night has come but it was not darkness that enveloped them but nether mist. The Followers of Apophis and the members of the Temple of Shesmu thought that night has come but they are mistaken.

andasnovel.com "Has night finally come?" Lebou stated as he easily blocked Awraka's weapon with his scimitar.
Awraka suddenly laugh as she knew what that energy was because her whole being trembled when she felt it. Shades were very sensitive to darkness but the darkness that enveloped them is not due to the cycle of day and night. She immediately knew who the source of this darkness was as it was in the form of a triple colored mist.
"Why are you laughing? Have you finally accepted your fate of being a sacrifice for a greater purpose?" Lebou stated but Awraka immediately centered herself.
"You are wrong in assuming that because that mist is something that can only be produced by someone that all of us in the shadow unit truly admire." Awraka stated as she smiled.
It was not only Awraka that smiled as all the players knew what that mist was because they have seen videos of it in repeat for almost a hundred times. A peculiar mist that rolls in when the being knows as the Demon arrives. It also signals the arrival of the Grim Reaper of the Battlefield as all those that were inside the mist does not survive.
"Equinox has arrived!" One of the players muttered as a gigantic being suddenly rose from the mists. It was none other than Adrian in his Netheros True Form.
Adrian's form is the same, but it suddenly morphed into a vastly different being once he fused with Sirius. A powerful howl echoed in the distance as a demon wolf suddenly appeared on top of the dome barrier. This form is different from when Adrian fused with Sirius before as he usually took in a more humanoid form, but this is more beastly.
