Chapter 137 Surprise Attack? [First Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets]

For both East China Sea team and East America team, this horror movie... perhaps they shouldn't be so passive.

The East Sea team can complete the main quest before the Central Continent team arrives.

As long as the East American team doesn't let the Central Continent team obtain the Sun Scripture, it will be very difficult for them to eliminate Imhotep within seven days.

Unfortunately, all of that has vanished.

The two teams are now in the same boat, both having a negative reward of 12,000 points.

No one would engage in savings business in the Main God Space; if they returned empty-handed, only death awaited them.

Even if the East American team betrayed them and killed Park Soo-hyun, their remaining reward points wouldn't be enough to escape annihilation.

Avoiding team fights has become an impossible option.

They must inflict a heavy blow on the Central Continent team and achieve some success before they can return to the Main God Space unscathed.

"Therefore... we must form an unbreakable alliance."

Park Soo-hyun and Orlando made a vow with a high five, and Park secretly gave him the Sun Scripture.

The sensible Orendor did not keep the precious magic book to himself, but instead offered it as a tribute to the Undead Priest, thus further gaining Imhotep's trust.

Only by maximizing their combat power will they have even a slight chance of achieving victory.

To become stronger... there's nothing that can't be given up.

The mysterious Temple of Set sits atop an oasis in the desert.

The God of Storms is quite interested in uninvited visitors...

Imhotep gestured for the reincarnators to prostrate themselves before the statue of Set.

Orlando was positioned slightly forward, and Imhotep bowed towards the statue, making a gesture of introduction.

"Om~"

The statue's eyes... glowed red.

Imhotep then crawled down as well.

The deal... perhaps has been struck. Seth is quite satisfied with the loyalty of the High Priest and the Second Prince.

Of course, this does not mean that acquiring power comes without a price.

Outside the temple, the obelisk began to emit billowing, dark blue smoke, a chilling and chaotic power that enveloped the entire oasis.

Obelisks are a type of building unique to ancient Egypt.

Square columns, made from a single block of granite, are typically erected in front of massive temple gates as one of the symbols of worship.

Set's divine power began to flow into the bodies of the crawling people.

"what!!"

Apart from Imhotep and Orlando, the rest of the men began to wail and howl.

Here's the deal.

To gain power, they must give up everything.

Their life force was completely taken away, leaving them only with a shell filled with the power of the god Set.

Its effect... lasts only seven days. After seven days, all is over.

Even after death, their souls will be taken by Seth, and for all eternity, they will be reduced to mindless, unfree slaves.

Even Imhotep had to acknowledge the other side's determination and will. What exactly was driving these foreigners' actions?

When Imhotep asked the other party if he was willing to seek power and what the price would be, the other party hardly hesitated.

It seems... they don't care about the cost at all.

Orlando is different; because of the power of Thor, he possesses secondary divine power.

Even a minor divine power is still divine power.

As long as one offers sacrifices to one's own thunder god authority, and to everything corresponding to it.

He could then become Seth's servant, thereby borrowing some of the power of storms and war.

Orlando certainly knew the difference between possessing and borrowing, but he believed that the restoration by the "God" could help him resolve everything.

As long as victory is achieved, these Seth powers will be obtained for free.

The price they paid was simply to no longer enter the world of "Legend of the Gods and Demons," which is why they were willing to offer the Sun Scripture as tribute.

They will never come back here, and all the promises will no longer need to be kept.

A wisp of blue energy was drawn from Orlando's body. He felt as if something fundamental had vanished completely. Just as a profound sense of emptiness arose, the dark blue mist condensed into a deep blue sphere.

Then, it suddenly burrowed into the space between my eyebrows.

Orlando saw a ghostly figure.

Enormous, robust, a symbol of destruction, an invincible existence... it feels so familiar.

Orlando remembered, this was the [Oberist of the Colossus].

The original meaning of Obelisk is obelisk, and the Titans of Obelisk are one of the three Egyptian gods. Their prototype is indeed Set, the Egyptian god of power and storms.

The screams lasted for more than fifteen minutes.

The Lord of Power generously bestowed power.

All the reincarnators entered a peculiar state of being called "living dead".

Of course... Park Soo-hyun is a living dead, so he's less affected.

On the foreheads of all the reincarnators, a dark blue-red emblem appeared, their pupils disappeared, and in their place were eyeballs that shimmered with red light.

As for Imhotep...

He has changed, even if it is not visible on the outside.

"We have given up a lot; we gave up in order to gain something."

Imhotep's voice was low and hoarse: "Let's go, now we're going to the City of the Dead... to achieve victory, and then bring Ankur back."

This romantic soul truly gave everything to be reunited with his lover.

Sincerity, loyalty, life... now it's faith.

Neither Anubis nor Osiris would accept him anymore. Now, Imhotep became Set's servant.

So much so that... going to the city of the dead is seen as a [provocation].

No one answered him.

Olivera trembled as she pulled out a mirror and looked at her current appearance.

The smell of decay was like that of a dead man.

Only power flows within the body... This is the wondrous use of Sai's special ability; even though the reincarnators are not part of the same system, the amplification is absolute.

Grade A enhancement...

She came to this conclusion.

The improvement that Liara received was more obvious. The muscle enhancement obtained from the main god's place, Toguro-nii, did not have any [energy cycle].

Now, the power of Set has become his energy cycle... Even if it's a one-time thing, he feels four or five times stronger...

"I now feel like I can change everything."

With a deep blue jewel embedded between his brows, Orendor sensed the power of the Titan.

"Tell me the intelligence... You've faced off against the Central Continent Team."

"...The combat strength revealed by the Central Continent Team mainly consists of a girl who has enhanced her Sharingan, a Ghost Rider enhancer, and a tall man with internal energy of A-level or higher, and possesses something like a [demiplane]."

Park Soo-hyun gave a cold smile: "The remaining few are nothing special. They wear standard Mark V uniforms and use internal force and technological weapons. They are not worth fearing."

Demiplane, AA-level item.

"With something like a demiplane that accounts for a certain score, how can their combat power be so high?" Oliveira asked in confusion.

"It's an intelligence problem... As long as we don't let that Ghost Rider charge up, we have a fighting chance now."

Park Soo-hyun's words do not seem to be false.

"As long as we launch a surprise attack and kill that demiplane holder, we can win in one blow."

……

"I can't take it anymore, can I just blow them up with landmines?" Wang Xia asked through the communicator.

"There's no need to provoke the god Set... If they want to launch a surprise attack, let them. Remember to get your hands on that thing that's suspected to be [divine] when the time comes."

Chu Xuan replied calmly, "Everyone, pretend you don't know, and act convincingly."

Zheng Zha barely managed to suppress his smile: "Okay! Okay! I don't know!"

"Stop laughing." Chu Xuan took a bite of his apple.

"Hahahahaha-"
