However, to Osiris's dismay, the green fatty shrouded in black mist on the opposite side seemed completely unaffected, with not a single change occurring on his body.
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
"Damn it, what...what exactly is going on here?"
Osiris first looked at his hands in a daze, then at Nurgle opposite him, and after a brief silence, he roared hysterically:
"You damn Loki, don't even think of defeating me...I am God King Osiris...Ah!!"
Osiris's words were cut short by a shrill scream as he suddenly found his body swelling and decaying at a visible rate.
A string of disgusting, grape-like blisters rapidly grew around his waist, and various putrid organs splattered out from his belly, which burst open like a balloon.
And from these foul organs and mucus that fell to the ground, green Nurgling soon emerged.
They giggled and played, surrounding the already putrefied and unrecognizable Osiris, emitting a series of cackling, eerie laughs.
"Impossible, I am the God of Death, I will never die..."
Osiris let out a series of incoherent roars, but soon his jaw fell off as the flesh completely rotted away.
"All things decay, but life is eternal!!!"
Nurgle slowly turned around, looked at Osiris, who had already turned into a puddle of putrid water, with a compassionate expression, shook his head slightly, and then disappeared along with the large pot bubbling with green liquid.
...
[Detected a collectible high-level soul, Warp souls + 1]
...
A few minutes later.
A huge portal suddenly opened on the ground.
The God of Death Anubis, leading his undead army, rushed over from Duat.
However, the anticipated scene of two armies clashing did not occur; instead, the entire Dimension, including Sun City, was plunged into an eerie silence.
Noticing something amiss, Anubis quickly spotted the horrific sight of corpses strewn across the yellow sand, as well as the gigantic remains of various Egyptian Gods scattered everywhere.
He even identified a few members of the Nine Pillars Gods among them.
"This...how is this possible?"
Anubis's heart sank like a heavy stone at the sight, but fortunately, he did not find God King Osiris's figure...
However, what was most baffling was that after a careful scan, he found no bodies of enemy soldiers among the many corpses.
Did the enemy suffer no casualties?
Or were all the bodies removed?
"How could this be...this war ended so quickly?!"
A hint of frustration flashed in Anubis's eyes; although he had mobilized his forces and rushed to Celestial Heliopolis for support immediately after being notified, it seemed he was ultimately a step too late.
What puzzled him, however, was what kind of powerful enemy could conquer Celestial Heliopolis in such a short amount of time?
But just as he was wondering, a group of terrifying figures slowly rose from the yellow sand behind him.
Among them were short, stout Nurglings with plump, swollen limbs, and Plaguebearers holding tattered Plague Swords, which were precisely the Nurgle legions that had not been deployed in the previous battle.
These slow-moving Nurgle Demons, with their abnormally vigorous vitality, were perfectly suited to deal with the undead army formed by the souls Anubis brought!
In mid-air, Great Demon Brias slowly descended, flapping his dark wings, and looked at Anubis, who had the body of a dog and the head of a human, saying:
"God of Death Anubis, I've been waiting for you here for a long time!"
...
A few more hours passed.
When all the dust settled, Karl finally arrived with Frank and a large contingent of Thunder Warriors.
They arrived directly in Sun City through the Portal opened by Wanda.
By this time, the Warp army had already returned to the Warp, and the massive Warp Rift had also closed.
Even the corpses outside Sun City had all been thoroughly cleaned away...How could Nurgle possibly leave such excellent experimental material here to go to waste?
After all, the forces in the Warp were Karl's trump card specifically used to deal with supernatural powers such as Dimensional Gods, Hell Lords, and various divine pantheons.
And the forces of the Hyperspace Group were purely used to handle various conflicts and external expansion in the real World.
The two were responsible for different affairs, so naturally, there was no need for them to meet at all...
What's more, the appearance of the Warp demons was a bit too striking at the moment; if they met rashly, Karl might actually be mistaken for Loki by his own subordinates...Uh, well, he already is!
"System, can I now merge this Dimension into the Warp?"
Karl placed his hand on the city wall, which was covered with various magic runes and magic circles, and asked curiously in his mind.
The system immediately gave an answer.
[Host currently does not possess the complete Devour Authority of a Dimensional God, so it is temporarily unable to merge or devour other Dimension spaces!!!]
..."Alright, I knew it would be like this!"
Karl was not surprised by this; although he had already raised his Dimension Strength to Lv5, recovering a little of his Dimension Master Authority, it was clear that there was still a considerable distance to full recovery.
But then again, Karl wanted to recover all his Authority without abandoning his physical body.
Naturally, it would take more time than simply abandoning his physical body and returning to the Warp to "inherit the legacy"!
But for Karl, as long as the ultimate goal could be achieved, he was completely willing to pay a little more time in the process.
After all, if he abandoned his physical body, he would no longer be able to experience the rich and varied life as he did now, nor how "moist" Selena and the other girls were...
Karl was not a person who had completely transcended low-level interests, so in his opinion, the greatest joy in life was precisely living the way he liked!
He didn't want to be like Dormammu, Mephisto, and Marduk, those so-called Dimensional Gods, who spent their entire lives fighting for territory or souls, living a monotonous and uninteresting life like stagnant water.
If he had to live such a dull and boring life every day, even if he could have Eternity, what would be the meaning?
[Even a divine tortoise, though long-lived, has its end.]
And at present, although Celestial Heliopolis could not be merged into the Warp, it was not a big deal for Karl.
He was not in a hurry; it would not be too late to merge it later when he recovered all his Authority, and he actually had other plans for Celestial Heliopolis already.
However, just as he turned to say something to Frank, another system prompt appeared on the light screen in front of him.
[Since the Host has currently recovered part of the Dimension Master's ruling authority, if needed, you can merge your will with the will of the current Dimension space to complete the binding of a subordinate Dimension space!!!]
"Eh? This works too?"
Karl's eyes lit up at the sight, and he quickly asked in his mind, "So, besides the Warp, I can also possess other Dimension spaces at the same time?"
The system immediately replied.
[That's right, as long as the Host's will is strong enough and soul is tough enough, theoretically you can bind several subordinate Dimension spaces simultaneously, but the scale and strength of subordinate Dimension spaces cannot be actively increased!!!]
Nice!!!
Although bound subordinate Dimension spaces could not actively increase in scale and strength like the Warp, they allowed Karl to instantly grasp all information about the entire Dimension space.
"Bind immediately."
Karl ordered without hesitation.
A few seconds later, the system prompt reappeared.
[Subordinate Dimension space 'Celestial Heliopolis' has been successfully bound.
Host can rename it at any time!!!]
"Just change it to Celestial Realm 1."
[Operation complete.
Subordinate Dimension space 'Celestial Heliopolis' has been officially renamed 'Celestial Realm 1'!!!]
Karl's face immediately showed a satisfied expression; the system's efficiency was quite impressive.
He then calmed down and carefully sensed the relevant information about Celestial Realm 1.
The space of Celestial Realm 1 was actually not too large, with a total area of only about 60 square kilometers, its scale being comparable to that of an ordinary town.
And its Dimension Strength was probably only around Level 4, which was just enough to enable its stealth attribute, but not particularly strong.
But for Karl, this was already enough.
Because ever since he officially approved the 'comprehensive plan to massively establish Thunder Warrior Battalion with the 'Youth Soldier Program' as its cradle,' he had already begun to plan on finding a suitable new Base for these super-soldiers for their daily training.
Ever since the two famous classic battles, the Greenwich Battle and the New York Demon Interception Battle, the Thunder Warriors had become widely renowned and a key monitoring target for various countries and organizations around the World.
There was no way around it; the combat power displayed by the Thunder Warriors was simply too terrifying.
Tell me, if you were in charge of a major organization, would you turn a blind eye to such a special squad where everyone had Captain America's physique...or even stronger than Captain America?
Before they could thoroughly understand all the information about the Thunder Warriors, those old schemers who were accustomed to "threat theories"...especially Nick Fury, it would be a miracle if they could sleep well!
So, at present, the skies above Sokovia are almost constantly monitored by military satellites from other countries or organizations in real-time.
Its density and frequency are the highest in the current World!
Karl had long been accustomed to this; they could watch if they wanted, as long as no foolish idiot jumped out to target him, he wouldn't bother...After all, this actually brought him a large amount of fixed Prestige value income every day.
However, the current situation in Sokovia was clearly no longer suitable as a daily training ground for the Thunder Warriors.
In addition, Samuel Sterns's team was about to conduct a comprehensive "reverse engineering" of the weapons and interstellar navigation technology carried on the "Razor Starship" captured from the Dark Elves, in order to eventually develop Starships and new energy weapons exclusively for the Hyperspace Group.
After all, the Thunder Warriors, since their inception, had always been benchmarked against the Space Marines, so they were destined not to perform missions only on Earth in the future...Once the technology matured, they could completely use Celestial Realm 1 as an anchor to directly initiate external interstellar warfare!
And because the "Razor Starship" was too massive to be disassembled and modified in relatively concealed underground laboratories, even if some coverings could be erected outside the ship during the research process, "interested parties" could still infer some clues by focusing on details such as the number of personnel entering and exiting the site daily.
Karl naturally did not want his trump card to be exposed prematurely...even if it was merely a "trump card" he deliberately placed on the table!
Therefore, based on all the above considerations, Karl launched a new round of Dimension War against the Egyptian Pantheon shortly after the New York Demon Interception Battle ended.
The deeper true intention was, on one hand, to test the current strength level of the Four Chaos Gods, so that Karl could have a clear understanding when formulating other strategic plans later.
On the other hand, it was to find a safe and secret new Base for the Thunder Warriors and the newly established alien technology secret laboratory!
It now seemed that this plan had been quite successful.
"Frank, from today on, this Dimension will be the new Base for the Thunder Warriors."
Karl smiled and said to Frank, "From now on, the Thunder Warriors' daily training and selection can all be completed here, and there's no longer any need to worry about leaks..."
"Later, I will also move Stern's Alien Technology Secret Laboratory here, so that the Thunder Warriors can use and equip those high-tech weapons at the first opportunity."
The Thunder Warriors responsible for security around them, upon hearing Karl's words, immediately became excited, their eyes shining.
Even before they arrived here, they had heard that the destination was the legendary Celestial Realm, the dwelling place of the Egyptian Gods.
But who would have thought that their Boss would actually bestow the dwelling place of "Gods" upon them as a new Base for daily training!
Can you believe this?
Looking at the whole World, perhaps only their Boss could make such a wise and brilliant decision, right?
The Thunder Warriors couldn't help but feel their hearts stir: If you round it up, doesn't this mean...we Thunder Warriors have also become "Gods"?!!
