------------------------------------------------

"No… that's clearly the blessing mark of a Dimensional God on its forehead!!"

But the problem was, Amit couldn't imagine which Dimensional God would bestow his power upon a super gorilla.

Wouldn't that make other Dimensional Gods laugh their heads off?!

Although Dimensional Gods are far more powerful beings than these so-called "gods."

But if the enemy was merely a "proxy ape," she wouldn't even bat an eye.

One must know, this was Egypt, her, Amit's, territory.

However, before she could think further, Kong had already charged forward.

Roar—

Amit was instantly enraged. How dare a mere gorilla act so brazenly in front of her?

I am the legitimate… Loki of Egypt!!

Immediately, Amit opened her massive mouth wide and unleashed a purple energy Impact containing divine power towards Kong.

But almost at the very instant she fired, Kong agilely leaped, dodging the fatal blow, while simultaneously making a 360-degree swing with his right hand, controlling the Symbiote Suit to form a giant flail on his fist, which he heavily slammed onto Amit's crocodile head.

Bang—

The immense force instantly halted Amit's movements, and even her brain went blank for a brief moment.

Kong seized this fleeting opportunity, landing a precise side left hook to Amit's face the moment he touched down.

The latter's enormous body immediately tilted to one side.

But Kong's attack didn't end there; twisting his waist and rotating his hips, a heavy side kick to the abdomen once again struck Amit.

Her massive body, weighing tens of thousands of tons, was sent flying backward like a cannonball.

Boom—

Amit hadn't even reacted when she found herself slammed heavily against a pyramid. Intense pain instantly coursed through her body, making her let out a series of miserable wails.

And while Kong and Amit were fighting.

Karl, Ancient One, and Wanda also emerged from a normal-sized portal.

Looking at the crocodile goddess being beaten, Ancient One said with a somewhat complex expression, "Mr. Karl, are you really prepared to intervene in the Egyptian Pantheon's family affairs? I think you should understand that this could lead to unpredictable and severe consequences."

"Family affairs?"

Karl glanced at her, a hint of disdain curving his lips, "This is Earth. When did it become their turn, these alien species, to run wild as they please?"

In Karl's eyes, whether it was Asgard or the Egyptian Pantheon, they were merely aliens with powerful magic, no different from the Dark Elves.

And they dare call themselves "gods"?

It's laughable.

"Since the so-called Nine Pillars Gods can't manage their own subordinates, then I'll manage them for them… I want to use this incident to tell those so-called gods that Earth will no longer be a place where they can run wild as they please from now on!!"

Actually, Karl had wanted to say just now: From now on, what Kamar-Taj dares not manage, I will manage. What "gods" Kamar-Taj dares not kill, I will kill!

But considering the existing alliance between them, it was best to save a little face, so he held back.

"Mr. Karl is so domineering!!"

Wanda, standing behind the two, excitedly clenched her small fists, her watery eyes full of little stars, gazing unblinkingly at her beloved's handsome profile.

"Sigh…"

Ancient One and Karl exchanged glances, wanting to say something, but ultimately held back. She raised her hand to open a portal connecting to Kamar-Taj, and before leaving, said:

"Thank you for your assistance with the demon army invasion last time."

"It was merely a matter of mutual need… Eh?!" Karl hadn't even finished speaking when Ancient One unhesitatingly closed the portal.

"Tsk, the Sorcerer Supreme is as impolite as ever!!"

But thankfully, Karl was already used to it.

At this time, the second battle between Kong and Amit had also entered a white-hot stage.

"Roar…!!!"

Facing the energy wave once again spewed from Amit's mouth, Kong dodged with a forward roll on the ground, then, as he rose, delivered a "side-body cross-arm punch" directly to her throat.

Amit, whose throat was severely injured, immediately clutched her neck in pain.

Kong seized this fleeting offensive opportunity, bending down to embrace one leg and control the head, swiftly completing a "stealth shoulder throw" in the blink of an eye.

Her massive body, weighing tens of thousands of tons, was actually lifted high above his head and then slammed heavily onto his knee.

The entire action was smooth and seamless.

Crack—

Karl and Wanda below even clearly heard the crisp sound of a spinal bone breaking.

The little handsome guy's fighting methods are getting more and more brutal.

But, I like it!

Boom…!!!

Accompanied by an Earth-shattering thud, Amit crashed heavily to the ground.

But Kong clearly wasn't going to let her off the hook.

His right hand transformed into a giant sword burning with crimson flames, which he brought down as Amit struggled to stand.

Rip—

Amit's massive body was instantly split in two, crashing heavily to the ground, and quickly burned to ashes by the crimson flames.

Game over!!!

This scene made the high-ranking officials of Egypt feel a tingling sensation on their scalps.

The Ape God truly lived up to his reputation!

This was simply an MMA master!

Not only could he handle Titans and Kaiju, but now he could even deal with the legendary "gods"?

From appearance to end of battle, the entire process only took a few minutes.

"General Ross, thank you very much for your connection with the U.S. Department of Defense."

The elderly President of Egypt still wore a look of lingering fear from the disaster, bowing deeply to General Ross's image on the big screen.

"And… please be sure to convey my highest gratitude and respect to Mr. Karl Merks."

"If it weren't for Mr. Merks's strong assistance this time, I'm afraid more people in Cairo would have died tragically… On behalf of all cabinet members, I hereby state that from now on, Sokovia, like America, will be Egypt's most important ally. This will never change."

The old President was so excited because just a few minutes ago, while he was holding a high-level meeting, he personally witnessed several high-ranking cultists who believed in Amit using their bestowed abilities to detect the sins of other cabinet members attending the meeting.

Seriously, who among those sitting in this conference room didn't have some sin on their conscience?

As a result, those cabinet members burdened with sin instantly had their souls drawn out by Amit's power, becoming hollow and cold corpses.

This scene almost made the elderly President wet his pants on the spot.

If it weren't for the Agents outside the conference room forcing their way in after hearing the commotion and then shooting those cultists, he might not have escaped death himself.

So the terrified old President immediately thought of his American daddy…

As an important ally of the U.S. in the Middle East, the Department of Defense naturally would not refuse their request.

And in the eyes of the Department of Defense's high-ranking officials, Amit was just an ordinary crocodile Titan.

So the authority to handle this matter naturally fell into General Ross's hands.

But only General Ross knew that the "monster" to be dealt with this time was not a Titan at all, but a certain "Loki" from the Greek Pantheon.

Because Karl had already told him the general details before this incident began.

The reason for going through such a big detour to eliminate Amit was simply that Karl needed a public reason to act against the Egyptian Pantheon.

After all, it's an old ancestral rule: one must have a just cause!

And the effect was obvious.

Didn't even Ancient One, that cunning bald demon king, have nothing to say when he saw it?

"Mr. President, I will certainly convey your thanks."

General Ross smiled and reminded, "But please don't forget to settle the rescue fee with Mr. Karl Merks, and please carefully verify the amount…."

"Oh, by the way, I suggest you temporarily suspend pyramid tourism in the affected area, as there are still many cultists at large, and no one can guarantee whether they will cause trouble again in the near future."

The old President quickly nodded, "I understand… General Ross, thank you for your kind reminder."

"Huh? Amit isn't a 'High-Level Soul' like other 'gods,' but a 'Special Biological Soul' like Shou Lao?"

Karl glanced at the prompt on the light screen, a hint of surprise on his face.

But on second thought, it made sense.

After all, in Egyptian mythology, Amit was essentially just a corporate monster specializing in eating the hearts of bad people.

And the farce unfolding today, in the eyes of Karl, the "businessman," actually resembled a "tearful workplace history of a corporate employee trying to climb the ranks, ultimately ending in failure."

The reason for saying this is…

Because when you delve into the relationship and origins of the Egyptian Pantheon and the supreme Nine Pillars Gods, you'll discover that these nine highest "ancestral gods" are actually one family!

That's right!

It's the literal meaning.

Simply put:

The Sun God Ra alone gave birth to Shu, the God of Wind and Air, and Tefnut, the Goddess of Rain and Moisture.

Then Shu and his sister Tefnut gave birth to Geb, the God of Earth, and Nut, the Goddess of Sky.

Then Geb and his sister Nut gave birth to Osiris, the God of the Underworld and Agriculture; Isis, the Goddess of Life, magic, Marriage, and Fertility; Set, the God of War, Desert, and Storms; and Nephthys, the Guardian God of Houses and the Dead.

It is this family of nine, born of incestuous marriage, that formed the Nine Pillars Gods with the greatest authority in the Egyptian Pantheon.

But what's even more dramatic is that the Sun God Ra actually had many other children… including Hathor, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, who recently joined the New Nine Pillars Gods.

She and Horus, the God of Vengeance and son of Osiris, are husband and wife.

However, if ranked by generation, they are actually in a "great-grandmother and great-grandson" relationship…

So, if the entire Egyptian Pantheon is simply likened to a company, then the Nine Pillars Gods are clearly the top decision-makers—the Board of Directors.

And "miscellaneous gods" like Khonshu and Amit, who have no blood relation to the Nine Pillars Gods, are like professional managers hired from outside the company.

Although they are capable and ambitious, they will never enter the core management.

And if they accidentally choose the wrong side, they will be ostracized and suppressed by other high-ranking officials.

As a result, Amit, who worked diligently but had no opportunity for promotion or salary increases, became somewhat unbalanced.

Thus, she decided to take a risk, using her Agents to carry out drastic corporate reforms in the real World.

As long as she could defeat the Nine Pillars Gods' regional managers (agents) in the real World, completely severing the Nine Pillars Gods' connection with the real World, then she would have the capital to establish her own domain.

The next step would only require her to annex the group's inherent assets (the souls of human believers who worship other gods) and then launch her new business (judging all potential criminals), and she could completely become her own queen!

And things were indeed developing as she had predicted…

But in this process, another department manager—Khonshu—unexpectedly discovered her ambitious plan.

Originally, Khonshu thought that after reporting this news to the higher-ups, he would surely be promoted and get a raise.

But who would have thought that he would be suspended and exiled by the new chairman, Osiris?

Can you believe that?

However, the equally ambitious Khonshu was not discouraged and still prepared to save the crumbling group by himself, thereby achieving an unparalleled feat!

This was the fundamental reason why he repeatedly refused to join forces with Amit.

But what Amit and Khonshu never expected was that all their efforts would ultimately become a wedding dress for others… that is, for Karl and Hyperspace!

Not only the two of them, but even the gods in Celestial Heliopolis would not be spared from this crisis.

"Handsome Guy, job done."

Working easily for a few minutes, and another nearly 10 billion US dollars in the bank, simply delightful!!

Although money is just a string of numbers to Karl now.

But the feeling of making money always makes a man happy… especially making big money.

And before leaving, Karl specifically glanced in the direction of the Hall of Gods, a mysterious smile playing on his lips, and then stepped into the portal with Wanda and King Kong.
