What?! My anime figurines have all come true!

Joker, having lost three key generals in a short period, felt utterly exhausted. He didn't care how many cannon fodder died on the periphery; the most important thing was the officers with a card value of 10 or higher.

He recruited them mostly from other forces and spent a lot of money and materials to train them; it's true that every one that dies is one less to lose.

Furthermore, the Red Queen's disappearance almost became the last straw that broke the camel's back...

That's why the Joker was so anxious to contact the Black Queen.

They were afraid that she would also lose contact.

Without the Black Queen's dark magic to pull people's souls, given the organization's manpower capabilities, I'm afraid I'll really be left all alone in no time!

"The Red Queen is still alive."

Upon hearing Joker's angry outburst, the Black Queen spoke up to comfort the leader, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

"She's still alive?"

Joker's tone revealed his delight upon hearing this.

"Yes, I've also learned about the situation in Egypt from some old friends... It's quite exaggerated."

Even the Black Queen's expression faltered.

Before hearing from the Joker that the Red Queen had gone missing in Egypt, she didn't believe the information from her 'old friend,' thinking he was exaggerating.

It is said that most of Egypt has become another dimension.

The area centered around the pyramids and ancient Egyptian temples was particularly shrouded in a sandstorm that blotted out the sun, trapping those inside and preventing those outside from entering.

Compared to that, the theft of all the ancient Egyptian artifacts in the museum is a minor matter, since they can be covered by replicas.

Otherwise, why would the Egyptian government, which considers tourism its lifeblood, choose to close the museums, drive away all tourists visiting the pyramids, and even mobilize the army for this purpose?

Of course, how could an army of ordinary people be effective against such a catastrophic anomaly?

The Egyptian government's actions were naturally futile.

Therefore, they can only stubbornly maintain the information blockade against the outside world and wait for the extraordinary powers to intervene with the approval of the United Nations.

Although some extraordinary individuals braved the sandstorm and managed to break in, they too never came out again.

This included her old friend's star pupil.

At the time, she thought her old friend was praising his student indirectly, and hung up after only a few words.

Looking back now, I think the other person was probably genuinely crying and complaining...

I feel a little guilty.

“My soul connection with the Red Queen is still intact, so I can confirm that she is still alive... She was probably trapped inside during the sandstorm when the pyramid anomaly occurred, just like the others.”

"Is there any way to get her out?"

Joker's tone was urgent; he genuinely wanted to rescue the Red Queen, given the organization's immense losses and the fact that he could save even one officer.

“This will require a necessary sacrifice, Joker. For the Red Queen, you must send an officer in to inform her… hold out until the UN rescue team intervenes.”

The Black Queen had no other choice.

She knew that the Joker would never let her leave this place, and the other remaining senior officers were even more immobile, so a mid-level officer had to make a sacrifice.

"it is good!"

Joker immediately agreed.

A larger cannon fodder can be exchanged for the Red Queen.

A sure-fire way to make money.

A mid-level cadre: You think you're so great! You're so aloof!

Chapter 115 The Egyptian Divine Realm Within the Sandstorm

Nitocris is now in a bit of a predicament.

As a pharaoh, he felt obligated to take action against the people of his world for their blasphemy against him. Even if it meant not taking lives, he was determined to reclaim what belonged to the pharaohs of all time and restore peace to the pharaohs' domain (the pyramids).

Logically speaking, as a figurine, if the commotion I've made were noticed by Chen Xiao, who is far away in China, causing my plan to deceive the world to fail, then I would truly deserve to die!

This is a case of being stubborn and ending up with two blocked ends.

The main problem was that Nitocris hadn't anticipated that once the Asgard was deployed, there was 'no reason' to take it back. She had to follow the Pharaoh's instructions and punish the offenders.

But this land is full of offenders!

Egyptian government: ?

Tourists from various countries: ?

Shenzhou Construction Team: ?

Although this wording is a bit inappropriate, everyone has indeed suffered an undeserved disaster.

As for why the construction teams from China are listed separately.

That's because most of Egypt's infrastructure is now being built by Chinese construction teams, especially in tourist towns near the ancient Egyptian pyramids and temples.

They have completely transformed into the shape of the Chinese!

However, this also meant that once Nitocris's divine realm unfolded, practically none of the construction teams from Shenzhou escaped.

"Disqualified! This is a disqualification of the Pharaoh! My ally, please forgive me... Wait! He can't know about this yet! Waaaaah... What to do! What to do!"

Nitocris, feeling increasingly uneasy, uttered a shameful sound that echoed through the quiet temple.

Compared to himself, the disturbances caused by the spirits in other places maintained a sufficient sense of mystery, including the goddess Tiamat who shook the Persian Gulf to its core, and the situation quickly returned to calm afterward, leaving room for people to imagine (or speculate).

Everyone clearly knew when to quit while they were ahead.

Why is it that when it's my turn, I can't take it back?

Now, because a large number of tourists from various countries and construction teams from China are trapped, they have to fight against the 'world'.

You know, that brilliant guy who provoked five great philanthropists back then would probably have graduated from university by now.

The good news is that countries around the world have suppressed public opinion, portraying the Egyptian anomaly as a once-in-a-millennium sandstorm disaster, allowing various environmental organizations to divert attention, and explaining that the Egyptian government deployed the army to rescue tourists...

Of course, apart from the Chinese who are already used to it, people from other countries don't really believe this explanation, and various conspiracy theories are rampant on the dark web.

Therefore, the special forces and peacekeeping troops from various countries were almost immediately granted permission by the United Nations and then transported to Cairo Airport in Egypt by military aircraft.

We are currently preparing to enter the sandstorm zone to carry out rescue operations.

“At this point, we have no choice but to make the best of a bad situation, Nitocris.”

It was Morgan from the Fairy Kingdom who spoke, appearing in Nitocris's temple through a magical projection.

Besides her, there were also...

Dark Highlander Skaya, dressed in an assistant's uniform.

Ereshkigal, the mistress of the Mesopotamian underworld.

Parvati is currently the dominant figure in Hindu mythology.

AI·BB-chan, modeled in the same style as Parvati.

Finally, there's Leonardo da Vinci, representing Chaldea, making a total of six.

(Director Olga Marie and Mash are currently in a state of recuperation.)

"Make the best of a bad situation?"

Nitocris looked up, puzzled.

“That’s right. Instead of trying to eliminate the uncontrollable influence of the divine realm, we might as well use its existence to make the world have a deeper understanding of us. After all, if you, as the Pharaoh, were real, you would never show any fear of being discovered by mortals.”

Morgan's words startled Nitocris.

"But... what if our allies find out?!"

"Regarding this... the people in the Divine Realm are currently divided into two groups: one group consists of locals and tourists from various countries, as well as the construction team from Shenzhou; the other group consists of extraordinary individuals, including the Poker Organization. As long as we make the distinctions among them, we should be able to cover it up."

Leonardo da Vinci held up two fingers and explained.

"Even if the divine beasts and spirits born with the Divine Realm are witnessed by people, with Master's memory, he won't remember them for a while (it's been too long, he only remembers the girl). This way, it can be treated as an event of the revival of an ancient civilization, just like in the movie 'The Mummy'; and when facing superhumans, we can openly appear in the Divine Realm."

After all, Chen Xiao's sources of information do not involve the supernatural community.

"Distinguish them..."

Nitocris murmured the word as she looked down.

"Well~ Although the original purpose was to cover for that temperamental Tiamat, this 'test' has indeed made our respective territories more stable, which is a pleasant surprise~! As Master's personal beautiful secretary, I love the phrase 'cost reduction and efficiency improvement' the most~!"

A bright smile appeared on Dark High Skaya's face, seemingly without any thought of a solution to Nitocris's predicament.

"But we never expected that they would choose Nitocris's divine realm. We underestimated this world to some extent."

Ereshkigal sighed deeply. She had prepared herself for the world's attention to be drawn to her mother's (Tiamat's) actions, and even the underground temple was completed. But it was Egypt that was in trouble.

“That’s true. Even though Frido was threatened by Durga to burn down so many demonic temples, it didn’t cause much of a stir.”

Parvati also sighed.

To give an analogy, the consciousness of this world is like a decorator who is currently renovating a house. However, several people deliberately shake the ladder back and forth in a short period of time, which makes the decorator angry and he wants to come down and start complaining.

As it turned out, the one who got criticized wasn't the one who shook the ladder the hardest, but rather Nitocris, who only lightly tapped it, which was somewhat of a bully who preyed on the weak.

"Besides that, BB has another amazing suggestion!"

BB flashed a mischievous smile.

"Since we're going to use this divine realm to expand our influence anyway, why not let the figures from other works perform too? Just like the righteous hero who stormed into the demon king's territory to rescue the innocent who had been captured!"

"The first half focuses on rescuing ordinary people, making them the center of attention and acting as heroes who save the world. The second half involves them working with other superhumans to stop Nitocris's 'purpose.' In the end, it's a happy ending: the resurrected Pharaoh's conspiracy is thwarted by the heroes without the world's knowledge!"

The stories presented to ordinary people and the intelligence presented to the desks of high-ranking officials in various countries are two completely different things!

"How dare they make the Pharaoh the villain! That's incredibly disrespectful!"

Nitocris immediately glared angrily at BB.

"This proposal is good."

However, Morgan nodded in agreement.

Everyone, including Leonardo da Vinci Jr., thought this method was feasible.

"Why is this..."

Nitocris helplessly lowered her body.

The six projectors who came to discuss the matter also canceled their communication after finalizing the plan, presumably to go back to the display case to draw the lucky winner.

"Lady Nitocris!"

At that moment, a tall, beautiful woman dressed in extremely modern and fashionable attire strode into the temple.

The other person had long, dark green hair, wore an asymmetrical black and white jacket, black hot pants, black stockings, and knee-high boots, and was adorned with various gold jewelry, making them incredibly luxurious.

Cleopatra, the last queen of the Ptolemaic dynasty of ancient Egypt, the last pharaoh, and the Queen of Egypt.

(This character was ruined by the Ultimate High School level art style; the character designs are actually quite good, and the fan art is very beautiful.)

Chapter 116 The answer is humans! Queen Sphinx: ?

"Whoa! Ah...it's Pharaoh Cleopatra! Cough cough, how's the situation outside?"

Upon seeing Cleopatra's arrival, Nitocris immediately suppressed her panicked expression, coughed lightly, and then asked in a calm and collected manner.
