In fact, it wasn't just the Heavenly Palace warriors of Asgard.
Even the Hell Demons and Demon Lords like Lilith weren't protected by this mysterious power.
Therefore, Karl came to a preliminary conclusion.
Only those so-called "orthodox gods" would receive the blessing of their respective Pantheon.
If one were to make a simple analogy, these "orthodox gods" were like the God Chosen of the Four Lackeys, receiving their blessings of power and spiritual protection.
As for whether the true situation was as Karl speculated.
And whether, in addition to "spiritual protection," other aspects of these "orthodox gods" would also receive enhancements and blessings during certain moments of crisis, and so on…
Karl still needed to continuously deduce and verify in the follow-up to get a more accurate conclusion!
The topic returns to Razan.
Since she could also be immune to the invasion of psychic power… let's temporarily call this mysterious power's protection "immunity."
Karl speculated that her bloodline was very likely from an orthodox lineage.
Therefore, it could also be inferred that her father or mother was very likely one of the most powerful Nine Pillars Gods in Egyptian Mythology!
Who could it be?
Karl couldn't help but be curious about the true identity of this "demigod."
Huh?
If I'm not mistaken, Tzeentch seemed to have also developed a subordinate—ah, no, a follower—who previously worshipped a certain "Egyptian Loki."
Perhaps some useful information could be obtained from that side.
At this moment, even Karl couldn't help but admire Tzeentch's extensive networking… ahem, his ability to strategize.
The Lord of Change truly lived up to his name!
Karl also didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary "murder case," after escalating to the level of a secret game between Heaven Faction and Hell, would unexpectedly involve the Egyptian Pantheon?
This greatly aroused his desire to "see what happened"!
And just as Karl frowned in thought.
Wanda, standing beside him, seemed to have misunderstood when she saw the change in his expression.
She thought Karl was annoyed that her previous attack hadn't completely cleared out those annoying swarms of bugs.
So… she, out of love for him, also became angry, feeling the same way!
Hmph, dare to provoke my brother… ah, no, dare to provoke my man and make him angry, I'll definitely skin you all today.
Facts proved… Wanda was very angry, and the consequences were severe!
Wanda's body suddenly surged with crimson Chaos Magic.
Her reddish-brown hair floated without wind, and her eyes, originally as brilliant as sapphires, glowed with a light that mortals could hardly look at directly.
A slender and powerful arm slowly raised, and her fair and rounded fingertips pointed at the black swarm of insects surging like a tide opposite her, and she shouted like a deity:
"I command you… to completely disappear from this World immediately!"
When the last syllable left her lips, an ancient and powerful magic power swept out from Wanda's body.
It instantly enveloped the entire swarm of insects.
And then, at nearly the speed of light, it spread to every corner of the Earth.
And so…
A miraculous scene unfolded.
The black scarabs, continuously pouring out of the sand pit, seemed to have been forcibly erased from this World by some irresistible, powerful force, instantly vanishing without a trace.
Even the sand pit, under the residual effect of this power, directly reverted to its original bluestone road, as if it had never appeared before.
But the affected area was not limited to just this region!
…
At this moment, far away in an underground tomb somewhere in Egypt.
A group of archaeologists and accompanying laborers, in the process of opening a pharaoh's sarcophagus, were forced to scatter in panic by the black scarabs continuously pouring out of it.
Even though they cleverly used gasoline they had prepared beforehand to set up a ring of fire as a barrier, it was still useless.
Ordinary flames had no effect whatsoever on these undead creatures with hard carapaces.
Even the pistols they carried couldn't harm them in the slightest.
Everyone could only watch in despair as thousands of scarabs, like a tide, engulfed the fire wall, then gnawed away all their flesh and bones.
In the blink of an eye, those engulfed by the swarm were left with only shriveled clothes scattered on the ground.
However.
Just as the dense swarm of insects followed the tomb passage, preparing to attack the humans outside the tomb.
In an instant, under a strong fluctuation invisible to the naked eye, the swarm, which had just been so menacing, strangely disappeared.
…
On the other side.
A special dimensional space adjacent to Earth—Celestial Heliopolis.
This is the dwelling place of the gods in Egyptian Mythology (just like Heavenly Palace Asgard)!
Inside a temple with scarab patterns carved on its outer walls, a male deity with a scarab-shaped head sat on his divine throne, holding a staff.
He was Khepri, the Scarab God, who presided over the "Morning Sun" within the Egyptian Pantheon.
In addition, he actually had another well-known identity.
That was one of the two divine personalities split from the deceased supreme god, and also the Sun God Ra, the head of the Heliopolis Nine Pillars Gods.
And the other divine personality split from Ra corresponded to the deity Atum, the "God of the Evening Sun," who presided over the "Evening Sun."
(Note: This Atum is not the ancient god—the God Eater Atum—born from Earth Mother Gaea and the Creator.)
"Oh?!"
Suddenly, Khepri, as if sensing something abnormal, abruptly stood up from his divine throne.
A female God's Servants dedicated to serving him quickly came over, respectfully asking, "Great My Lord, do you have any instructions to give?"
"No, I feel that the scarabs I left on Earth are rapidly dying out. This situation is clearly abnormal. Quickly go and inform the Nine Pillars…"
However.
Before Khepri could finish speaking, his scarab-shaped head, like pixels suddenly losing their frame, flickered rapidly a few times before strangely and abruptly vanishing.
Thud—
Khepri's headless body heavily crashed to the ground, golden blood splattering out.
Since all the scarabs in the World had been completely erased by Wanda using Chaos Magic.
After losing its original power, the divine power remaining in Khepri's body also began to rapidly dissipate.
Correspondingly.
Without the protection of divine power, this body, which had endured for thousands of years, could no longer contend with the Law of Time.
All the "owed" time was instantly imposed upon this body.
In the blink of an eye, Khepri's headless body decayed into a handful of yellow sand.
The female God's Servants beside him was so startled by the sudden turn of events that she fell to the ground.
It took her a while to recover, then she crawled on her hands and knees to where Khepri had fallen, looking at the wisp of yellow sand left on the ground, and shrieked with a trembling voice:
"My Lord… My Lord… is dead?!!!"
...
…
The scene returns to the street where Karl and the others were located.
On top of a building less than a kilometer away from them, a strange woman, hidden in the darkness, gasped in surprise when she saw the disappearance of the swarm:
"Damn it, what's going on? Where did the scarabs I summoned go?"
The reason she was called strange was because her clothing and makeup looked out of place for a normal person.
She wore a black, tight-fitting tube dress that looked like a strapless evening gown, extending from her unremarkable chest all the way to her ankles.
Around her neck, she wore a special red and black accessory similar to a neck gaiter, which not only covered her entire neck but also most of the back of her head.
Coupled with the black armguards that covered her arms like sleeves, her completely bald head, and the thick black greasepaint around her eyes like panda eyes…
The whole person looked as strange as could be!
That's right, she was Razan, the "demigod" known as Night Jackal, as Sister Grady called her.
However, apart from the Black Wizard Necrodamus, who had once saved her life.
No one else knew.
Razan's biological father was actually Osiris, the God of Death, one of the Egyptian Nine Pillars Gods, and also the new ruler of the New Nine Pillars Gods!
His rank and authority were even higher than the widely renowned Anubis, the God of Death.
In addition, Razan's other brother was also famous, none other than Horus, the Hawk-headed God / God of Vengeance, who presided over the "Power of Vengeance"!
And Horus's eyes were the Eye of Horus, regarded by ancient Egyptians as "the protection of the gods and supreme sovereignty"!
The reason Razan appeared here was to observe for Necrodamus whether the special sin silver bullet, crafted from "sin silver," could successfully banish the "Angel Power" from Sister Grady.
If the experiment succeeded, then they could proceed to the next, even bolder experiment.
The plan had been going very smoothly.
But just as Razan was about to retrieve the silver bullet and return to Base to report to Necrodamus, the appearance of Frank and Logan Howlett caused things to gradually spiral out of her control…
"It must be that damned human mage's doing!"
Razan activated the magic in her body, wanting to summon the scarabs again to besiege Karl and the others, thereby snatching back the silver bullet that had fallen into their hands.
But who would have thought, no matter how hard she tried, not a single scarab responded to her summons?
Then she started calling out to Khepri, the Scarab God, who had granted her this power… but still, there was no response?
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
A terrifying thought suddenly emerged in Razan's mind.
Could it be that the scarabs were really banished by the magic the female mage had just released?
The reason Razan was called Night Jackal was because her original power actually came from the jackal animal.
So she possessed extremely developed hearing, sight, and smell, although far inferior to Wolverine, she could easily hear faint sounds from 1 kilometer away.
Naturally, she had also heard what Wanda had just said.
She just refused to believe it was true, no matter what.
Because it was simply too incredible.
Not to mention that the other party was just a mystic from Kamar-Taj.
Even the Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One, and her father Osiris, the God of Death, could not so easily banish all the scarabs controlled by Khepri, the Scarab God.
So… something must have gone wrong!
That's right, that's it!
At this moment, Razan had no idea.
Wanda had just, by accident, used Chaos Magic to completely erase all the scarabs in the World, along with Khepri, the Scarab God, from this World.
However.
Before Razan could think further, she saw Wanda in the distance on the street, already raising her hand towards the area where she was located.
"Damn it, I've been discovered!"
Razan immediately paled in shock. Although she was a "demigod," she was not afraid of mortals or mages.
But obviously, the magic Wanda used looked a bit scary… ahem, tricky!
Furthermore, letting these people leave, in a sense, didn't seem to be a bad thing for Razan either.
So she offered no resistance and leaped off the building.
Whoosh—
In the darkness, a giant bird mummy, its body wrapped in decaying shrouds, flapped its decaying, porous wings and silently swept beneath Razan, then carried her quickly away into the dark night sky.
"She actually scared that demigod away?"
Logan Howlett looked at Wanda with disbelief.
Even though he didn't understand magic, he could tell from the scene just now how powerful and terrifying this young girl was.
Perhaps the previous battle reminded him of a memory from many years ago.
He actually saw a bit of Jean Grey, who had successfully awakened the Phoenix Force back then, in Wanda.
Both of them possessed unparalleled powerful strength!
However, Wanda's condition was clearly much more stable than Jean Grey's back then.
Then Logan Howlett looked at Karl, whose face showed no surprise, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional: Is this the true foundation of the Hyperspace Group?
No wonder they dared to openly challenge God King Odin and S.H.I.E.L.D..
Their confidence was indeed strong enough!
Logan Howlett couldn't help but secretly compare Karl, Frank, Wanda, and others with Professor X and the X-Men members.
He quickly discovered the most fundamental and biggest difference between the two teams.
Leaving aside the difference in combat power.
Just the absolute loyalty of all members of the Hyperspace Group to Karl alone was something the X-Men could not compare to.
Although the X-Men, on the surface, all revolved around their leader, Professor X.
However, the internal unity was lacking.
Not to mention others, Logan himself was one of the most unstable factors back then.
In contrast, all members of the Hyperspace Group under Karl, whether the low-level soldiers or core cadres like Frank, fanatically worshipped Karl as a god.
That's right, they worshipped him as a god…
And they carried out his orders without any hesitation.
So much so that Logan Howlett had always believed that this was the result of Karl "brainwashing" these people.
But after today's battle, he realized he was terribly wrong.
The young man was able to gain the absolute trust of Frank and others.
It was entirely due to the charisma he slowly built up through one life-and-death crisis after another!
I ask you, who doesn't like having a boss who can come to the rescue in times of desperation?!
And this point also attracted the old-but-young-at-heart Logan Howlett.
Perhaps…
It's time to embrace a new life?!
Logan Howlett shook his head, deciding to cast aside the old memories of the past…
