A powerful force of swirling sand suddenly appeared before Adrian and Cairo. Adrian knew that the person approaching them was Sadiki at first, but the energy signature suddenly intensified. He more or less guess that the God Seth has descended as if he was expecting them to appear in the territory.

Adrian suddenly felt that the eyes watching them are gone as he looked around their general area. The people around them that are staying in the city are all praying. Cairo also noticed this and knew that the patron god of the city has descended onto his vessel.

Adrian and Cairo are suddenly swept up inside a sandstorm and they could not evade it. Adrian suddenly felt a powerful surge of divine energy sweep up their body. Adrian and Cairo did not even bother to resist as they heard the voice of the God Seth tell them that he is there to take them away.

The next thing that both of them knew is that they are sent to to the main temple of the God Seth located at the very center of the city. The Temple of the Storm is made of mostly glass as if the sand itself became crafted into it by intense heat. The temple guards and priests are also wearing very armored clothing as if they are always ready for a battle.

The sand swirl that carried them all the way to the core of the temple where the throne of the vessel is located. Sadiki or rather the God Seth sat down on the throne as he looked at the two people present in his temple. He had a great smile on his face because it was not only Adrian that arrived but also the Champion of the Sun God.

"I have heard the news from Bastet. The Sun God Ra has finally awakened. To think that a day such a this would finally arrive. I thought I would have to struggle for one more millennium before my father has revived. Please tell me how you managed to awaken my father." The God Seth stated as he listened eagerly to the story.

Adrian then started to recant the story as he was the one that got all of the vestiges as the God Seth told him to. He then told them about the angels kidnapping Prince Amun to the reason why that might be the trigger of the Sun God Ra's early awakening. Adrian also told him about the mission that they were given as that is the real reason why he is in the western continent in the first place.

"I always knew those winged bastards were troublesome but to think that they would even attempt to take the vessel of the Sun God Ra as hostage for their pitiful selves. I will make sure to tear any angel that I encounter in the western continent!" The God Seth stated as his eyes brimmed with a passion for vengeance.

"That is quite good an all but not all of the angels are at his side anyway. Some angels decided to live as humans and integrate in society. The ones that we need to watch out for are those that think they are high and mighty just because they are living above the clouds.

Also, we must not waste time on them right now because a part of a distorted god that is your lifelong enemy might be awakened from its seal. Will you help us investigate the Thorny Pit just as we have told you? I could even use one of the commands of my trinket in order to make sure that all of the followers will follow my command." Adrian stated as he is serious about the threat of a part of a distorted god.

A dark god descending back then leveled an entire empire and countless deaths happened in a blink of an eye. That dark god did not even want the destruction of the world but the distorted god that they will battle against wants to do just that. The Distorted God Apophis wants the world to be its meal and destroy it in the process.

"You have no need of using the token that I have given you because I already called upon about half of my best warriors. They will aid you in the threat that is to be investigated. The Sun God Ra is not one to say things just out of caution.

If he believes that the world might end, then there is a large possibility that could be true. Sun Gods have the ability to partially peer into the future after all which is why they are powerful and rare. My father does not give lies even if he is in a weakened state as of now." The God Seth stated.

Adrian and Cairo did not know that the Sun Gods can peer into the future. Adrian thought that the ability to foresee events in the future are only related to Gods of Divine Sight and those that worship them but that is not the case. Having a Sun God as an ally might have been advantageous back then which is why they must have been killed off.

The war between gods can easily be tipped off in another's favor by simple predictions. The gods that can do that were the first ones to die. Some gods that can foresee events managed to hole themselves away from the world, but they are now completely forgotten. In the end, the gods that could foresee events in the future became weakened without the faith of their believers.

"Sadiki will also come with you as I would feel much at ease for my vessel to be there. I could descend if something were to occur but make sure that it is only during the daytime should you fight. The serpent becomes much more powerful during the night, and I will not be able to descend as well." The God Seth stated.

Adrian internalized the things that were said to them as even he does not know how powerful a fragment of a distorted god is. If they are as powerful as a demigod, then they would definitely have a difficult time just trying to scratch it. He is even wary of the Vessel of Ammit as she might have been compromised as well and help the fragment of Apophis to devour the world just like it wanted.

"Should we ask for the help of another temple?" Cairo asked Adrian as he also knows some temples that have an amiable relationship with him.

"It is better that the other temples are not informed unless we have solid evidence. We also do not know if they have sided with the Distorted God Apophis. The Western Gods are not as united as you think as some have turned around one another. Some even turned a blind eye to those that need help which is why I think they are weak." The God Seth stated.

"I also agree because we do not know who our enemies are could be. There might even be some that infiltrated the other temples and are just lying in wait. We ne.ed to verify if the fragment is still sealed before going into an all-out assault." Adrian stated.

"I wish you luck in the upcoming investigation, champions. I will let my vessel handle the rest." The God Seth stated as he no longer possessed Sadiki's body.

Sadiki regained the control of his body and knew what he needed to do next. About half of the golden warriors of the Temple of the Storm began preparing for deployment. Adrian and Cairo are looking at the impressive way that the temple conducted their mission.

"We are now ready, Champion Equinox." Sadiki stated and Adrian nodded as the latter opened a portal using dimensional teleportation. He plans to send them to the nearest area where the Thorny Pit is located.

"We are still about five hours away from the Thorny Pit. Eight if we are unlucky and encounter a sandstorm." Cairo stated but Sadiki only chuckled as well as the other golden warriors of the Temple of Seth.

"Do not worry, Champion Cairo! The Warriors of the Sand does not wait for the sandstorm to be quelled because we summon it ourselves!" Sadiki stated in great bravado which made the golden warriors cheer.

"We are one hundred three in total. It will make our movement easily detected which is why we must move fast should we get caught. Ready your mounts as we will not stop running until we reach the Thorny Pit. The Temple of Bastet already got a head start on us and they might be in trouble if the fragment has already awakened." Adrian stated as he summoned Kanlaon.

The golden warriors shouted and also summoned their mounts which are Desert Jackals. With their entourage, they look like they would be people that will conquer and pillage a city.
