The Distorted God Apophis and the Shadow of Apophis started to consolidate both their powers as it is needed to stabilize the body that was just possessed. The Distorted God Apophis has only taken over the body and mind while the soul was only partially possessed. An anchor was needed for the Distorted God Apophis to stabilize, and her shadow would be the one to do that.
The only downside is that the two must never be separated or else there might be a chance for the Distorted God Apophis to go crazy and not control her energy. The Shadow of Apophis that was a mile long suddenly shrank and curled around the body of the Distorted God Apophis. The resonance of body and shadow has completed in under a few seconds and all the gods of the western continent were the ones that witnessed it.
The Gods of the Western Continent tried to smite the Distorted God Apophis but that would mean sacrificing a lot of their own divine energy. The Distorted God Apophis could also defend itself against the attacks from the divine realm above because it will only be limited to the current restraint on the world.
The divine punishment that the Gods of Western Continent could do would be at the level of a lesser god. The Distorted God Apophis is now at the level of a peak demigod due to its resonance with the Shadow of Apophis, but it will continue to rise in the future and reach to the strength of a lesser god naturally. The damage from the smite would not that be powerful as well since there are not many followers around the area.
"We greet the great master!" The avatars that are now under the Distorted God Apophis bowed towards her.
"I shall baptize this area with the strength of my newly attained body." The Distorted God Apophis stated as the Shadow of Apophis opened its mouth while she held her hand upwards.
A powerful orb of dark energy is created using the effort of the two. The players tried to fire off attacks and spells, but a powerful pressure came upon them. This was a passive skill that the Distorted God Apophis has as all beings around it will be under powerful restriction if they are not powerful enough. Most of the players that signed up for the battle are not that powerful but just wanted the rewards.
"Distorted Dark Wave!" The Distorted God Apophis stated as it released the energy that it has gathered.
The wave of darkness took the form of numerous black snakes that rushed towards all those that are in the area. All of the players were swallowed up in the attack as numerous snakes bit them. The players that were unable to defend themselves were swallowed by the darkness and slaughtered by the Followers of Apophis that were empowered by the wave of darkness.
"We shall deal with these lesser beings, master. It seems that the Avatar of Pakhet has found a way to the hidden temple of the Moon God Thoth." The Avatar of Babi stated.
The Distorted God Apophis knows why the Avatar of Babi would say such a thing because she has yet to become full. The Distorted God Apophis is not yet able to exert perfect control of its massive energy in the mortal realm despite taking over the vessel. The testament to that would be some of the players that still standing after her attack.
If the Distorted God Apophis was at full power, then all beings would kneel before it just by the pressure that her body is emitting. She would also not need to have the Shadow of Apophis to stabilize its immense energy. Seeing that most of the enemies have been neutralized and her body starting to get stiff, the Distorted God Apophis created a door of darkness and vanished from the area.
The players were relieved of the pressure of the Distorted God Apophis but those that were affected by it are now mostly dead. The remaining avatars started their slaughter but that does not mean that the other players are going to accept their deaths. Some of the players started their retreat as well since the Distorted God Apophis is no longer in the battlefield.
The players knew that they would not get anything for staying in the area as their main target is no longer there. The three avatars would not let that go thought but three guilds that are said to possess the strength and courage of valiant people were the ones that stood in front of the three powerful enemies.

Adrian held the small conch shell and hid it back into his inventory. He was glad that everything was able to be resolved regarding the souls of the children. Just as he was about to check his accomplishments, Awraka suddenly came near him and whispered something.
"The Distorted God Apophis has descended and has taken over the vessel. It seems that Vice Guild Master also experienced something that might help us in the long run. He stated that a powerful death goddess used some of his energy to trap the vessel's soul so that it will not be devoured completely." Awraka whispered.
"Thanks for informing me. We shall teleport to the location of the battle now." Adrian stated but he was informed that the Distorted God Apophis vanished once again but that does not mean they cannot sense the immense energy that the serpent releases.
"Cairo has told us that the Sun God Ra could detect the Distorted God Apophis and it went to the Dark Sand Wastelands which is on the far opposite side of the Temple of the Sun God. Should we head over there to investigate first?" Awraka asked as all of the shadow unit members are determined.
"Sure. Go now but make sure that all of you will not get too close. The Distorted God Apophis is a god of darkness after all. You should be careful." Adrian stated as he called for all of the guild members to reconvene.
