Levin Cloud immediately tried to pull Thueban to his side by extending his arms that turned into roots. The Distorted God Apophis has already sensed that something or someone around it was lurking. Levin Cloud could have gotten Thueban earlier, but she was already being grasped by invisible parts of the Distorted God Apophis's body.
Levin Cloud knew that he would not be able to save the poor girl and attempted to kill her in that instance. It seems that the Distorted God Apophis sensed the killing intent that the hidden being has directed towards its vessel. The Distorted God Apophis defended Thueban from getting impaled by Levin Cloud but that does not mean she was safe.
With one gulp, the Distorted God Apophis swallowed Thueban as she released one last cry for help. Levin Cloud's roots was only able to pierce the body of the Distorted God Apophis which he clearly regretted. Levin Cloud immediately knew to himself that he moved to slow or else they might have a chance to stop what was bound to happen.
A powerful shockwave suddenly exploded when the Distorted God Apophis and Thueban started to merge with each other. Thueban did not necessarily lose complete control of her body but that does not mean that she was able to hold on as well. Thueban's mind has been broken but it seems that her spirit still held some sort of resistance.
Thueban cried out to any entity that might be able to help her in her time of need. She did not care at the time what entity answered her prayers be it a god or an evil entity. As long as she would be able to hold on to her own will. Since the closest being that could resonate to gods was Levin Cloud, the one that answered her prayers was none other than a Goddess of Death that was summoned in the same continent during that time.
A liquid entity in the shape of a female suddenly reached out to the hand that Thueban held out in the latter's last attempt to not be devoured by the serpent. The liquid entity was not powerful enough to drive away the Distorted God Apophis though as the former was blasted away by the mental energy of the latter. Still, the hand of the female liquid entity was able to touch the tip of Thueban's finger.
Thueban's soul which was about to be completely devoured by the Distorted God Apophis was suddenly encased in an orb of water just as it was about to be erased by the latter. Even if Thueban's soul was saved from being completely erased by the Distorted God Apophis, it does not mean that the serpent was not able to take over.
The Distorted God Apophis has completely taken over Thueban's body and mind while her soul was sealed in the depths of her subconscious. The only way to save the soul of the poor girl would be to kill her she can no longer get her mortal body as it is now in the complete control of the Distorted God Apophis.
Thueban's black hair started to turn slightly off white as a testament to the Distorted God Apophis' corruption of her body and resonance with the vessel. Her eyes were now that of a serpent instead of a human. Her light brown skin started to have some resemblance to a snake's scales as well.
The weak looking body that was not filled with nutrition started to have some shape as the Distorted God Apophis' energy nourished her unhealthy body. Her clothes that was dirty and ragged is changed to a whiter and clear silk gown. She also started to have golden bangles that were snakes biting their tails.
The Distorted God Apophis has finally fused with the vessel that it has waited for all these years. Levin Cloud and the others were unable to stop the process of the possession which disheartened them a bit. The Distorted God Apophis felt good in her new body as she now has real flesh in the mortal realm which means she can exercise control.
[The Distorted God Apophis has successfully taken over the vessel that it has planned for over thousands of years.]
The Distorted God Apophis exploded in energy once again as she tried to see what is the limit that it can draw out from its immense energy. The Distorted God Apophis could only release the strength of a demigod even if it has taken over her vessel. This was due to the fact that it was not a complete being as of yet and the world bearing its pressure towards her.
"You might be able to restrain me for the moment but that will not be true once I gather all of my remaining fragments." The Distorted God Apophis stated as her voice is now more feminine but in the deeper timbre.
The Distorted God Apophis then looked towards Levin Cloud and the others that tried to stop it from taking over her vessel. She released a powerful wave of darkness towards Levin Cloud which actually rooted him out of the cave ceiling that he was attached to. Levin Cloud was sent crashing on the ground, but he was able to buff himself just enough for the attack to not kill him.
"The noise is too much here. I must do something about it." The Distorted God Apophis stated as she left after seeing group retreat.
The Distorted God Apophis went out of the crevice, and she met eyes with her other half which is the Shadow of Apophis. The Shadow of Apophis stopped its assault on the enemies that gathered which made the players thought that it was tired but there was actually another reason. The players suddenly felt an eerie feeling around them which made them cast as much defensive magic on themselves.
"It is time to resonate with me my other half." The Distorted God Apophis stated as she placed her hand on top of the head of the Shadow of Apophis.
