Listen While Reading:

-----

Akhenaton glared at the people who had shown up out of nowhere. His face was growing furious as he piloted his chanical God.

“I’m sorry for taking a while, but we had to take care of the trash.”

A tall, brown-skinned man with short black hair and a muscular fra, wearing a white blouse and black pants, and with a big, claw mark-shaped scar in the middle of his face.

The chairman of the association of hunters in the city of El Cairo, Mohad Khaled.

“As long as I’m here, the endless sand of the desert will be our guardians.”

A slender, beautiful black woman with short black hair and seductive, bright blue eyes, wearing a colorful dress, and many pieces of jewelry, especially rings—magic rings.

Heba Marwa, often known as “Queen of the Dunes”, an S Rank Hunter.

“I wonder how nice it would feel to cut through that scrap head of yours~”

An annoyed-looking man with long white hair and a slender figure, wearing a black blouse and jeans, looked to be in his late teens. His sharp red eyes emanated a slightly nacing bloodlust.

Ahd Mostafa, known as “The Blood Beast Berserk”, an S Rank Hunter.

“Please let go of rneith!”

And lastly, the youngest of the four, a girl no older than fourteen, wore a white cloak and black cloths that covered her hair. Her clear brown skin and adorable silver-colored eyes caught the attention of many, especially due to the bright aura she emanated.

She was the newest S Rank Hunter of the city of El Cairo, Sara Asmaa, “The Sacred Child”.

“Your humans…” laughed Akhenaten. “This is ridiculous; do you think you can actually fight against a chanical God and my army of Divine Machines, you ignorant mongrels?!”

“Divine? HAHAHAH!”

Ahd laughed out loud, and the prince’s eyes widened as the berserk pointed at a pile composed of destroyed tal covering the ground.

“It just took ten cuts each, and they went down... Did you think we were as weak as those Aricans? Unlike that country full of idiots, we’ve been fighting since everything began, nonstop. El Cairo has not been maintained by so otherworldly King; it has been maintained by its people alone.”

“He destroyed so Divine Machines?!” Akhenaten gasped. “How is this possible?! No, wait!”

His eyes glanced down below, quickly realizing there were at least a dozen more chs that were destroyed through different thods. So of them were just punched into pieces with the chairman’s signature.

Others were crushed by imnse quantities of sand, Heba’s power, and so were encapsulated into blinding light cages until they were burned and exploded, Sara’s power. And of course, those Ahd destroyed were cut down by his huge sword, made out of the bones of a dragon.

Although the otherworldly prince seed slightly surprised, he still maintained his pride. There was still almost eighty Divine chs everywhere; they were constantly fighting the other hunters down below. Civilians were mostly evacuated, but a few had already died due to the commotion.

“It looks like I might have underestimated the trash in this world. I wonder though, can you really go beyond that?” laughed Akhenaten. “Because I sure can~!”

FLASH!

With an explosion of dark matter coming from Anubis’ legs, the giant chanical God reached the closest hunter, Ahd, its giant claws moving down.

CRAAASH!

Using his large sword, Ahd barely managed to block the powerful attack, but the force it generated was enough to send him flying.

“Ungh?! Attacking head-on, you fuck?! I like that!”

The crazed young Egyptian man laughed, his giant sword overflowing with his mana, the roar of a dragon echoing from his bone sword.

“ROOOAARR!”

The illusion of a mighty red dragon erged from the sword, fusing with Ahd’s aura; his eyes turned draconic; and red scales erged around his body.

“A Dragon?!”

The prince gasped before Ahd smiled, showing him his sharp teeth.

“{Berserk Dragon Blade Awakening}”

RUMBLE!

The intensity of the dragon’s presence generated a powerful pressure, pushing Akhenaten away with trendous force, before a giant draconic claw, an illusion made reality, struck down Anubis.

CRAAASH!

The chanical God was sent flying down, but it quickly recovered and rushed back towards the young berserk, who quickly imbued his sword with flas.

“How about this, you fucking piece of shit?!” With a berserk-like attitude, Ahd roared.

“RAAAHHH!”

A storm of slashing attacks was unleashed, and flas and cutting waves engulfed the chanical God as Ahd laughed manically.

“Hahahaha! That’s what you get for attacking first, you shithead!”

Ahd laughed; the draconic powers of his sword seed to have the upper hand over Anubis chanical God's body.

However…

“Enough.”

RUMBLE!

A shockwave of black matter was unleashed, destroying the storm of slicing flas. Anubis re-erged, completely unscathed.

“{Dark Matter Veil},” Akhenaten laughed. “Anubis’ Ability. It makes it so most physical and even ethereal attacks are simply… absorbed! I am invincible.”

chanical Gods were beings made to be above all else; their strength was unparalleled in their world, but among them, Anubis might lack in terms of power but made it back in terms of Defense.

Ranking even above Ra in terms of Durability, Anubis could be said to be invincible, as long as it didn’t fight another chanical God that countered their defensive power like Ra!

“With Ra confined in the Cage of Death, I don’t have anything to worry about!” Akhenaten laughed. “Co! As many as you want! Your feeble bodies shall be crushed by the might of a God!”

With a blink of darkness, Anubis disappeared and reappeared above Ahd. The young berserk quickly unleashed a fiery dragon breath, yet Anubis swung its claws, easily blocking the beam and redirecting it into the skies.

BOOOM!

“Pathetic!”

“Ngh?!”

Ahd gritted his teeth as he felt Dark Matter quickly wrap around his body, resembling countless chains.

“{Netherworld Chains}!”

And then, at the prince’s command, the chains began to infuse destructive dark matter inside of Ahd’s body, attempting to destroy him from the inside out.

“Uuuaaaggghhh!”

“AHD!”

Heba imdiately responded. Giant hands made of sand started grabbing Anubis while another spear made of sand continued trying to pierce through his defenses. Nurous blows erged from every angle.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

“Tch!”

Anubis was perhaps the lightest of the chanical Gods; therefore, it was susceptible to blows that could send it flying away. Heba used this to her advantage, pushing him away and trying to break the chains made of darkness it was holding.

However, the chains simply extended like elastic no matter how far Anubis was sent. Akhenaten continued torturing Ahd, who began bleeding from every orifice of his body.

“Gaaaggghh…!”

“Mohad!”

“Yeah!”

Heba called the chairman, who was fighting the Divine machines coming to defeat them, and quickly rushed towards the chains.

The muscular man gathered his energies into his body, Mana overflowing and coursing through his body as his fists, his only weapons, glowed with golden flas.

“{Golden Giant Fist}”

He pushed down his two fists, pointing at the black chains and impacting them with all his force. Sparks of electricity surged, and the illusion of two enormous fists made of gold pushing down erged.

CRAAASH!

The chains began giving up, quickly shattering after Mohad thought his fists were going to be torn to shreds.

“Hahh… Hahh…”

He was the strongest hunter in the city, yet his hands were burned and bleeding, perhaps for the first ti since he awakened as an S Rank Hunter.

“That isn’t darkness magic, Heba!” he said, receiving the healing light of Sara. “It’s sothing different. Like a different matter altogether.”

“What?! They don’t work with magic?!” Heba wondered.

Suddenly, a realization ca to everyone in that mont. All the attacks, all the powers, everything these people used.

It wasn’t fueled by magic.

It was actually highly advanced technology that sohow managed to control the primary, most dangerous, and most powerful elents of the universe before Mana ever reached Earth.

Dark Matter, a speculated elent that encompasses all of the universe. It is thought to be the origin of the "black color" that the universe has.

The ever-burning plasma of stars, capable of lting the surface of planets themselves...

And perhaps what else could the other chanical Gods even wield!

It wasn’t sothing that magic alone could counter, even less elental affinities. Perhaps this was the reason why Sara’s light has yet to even affect the Dark Matter protecting Anubis.

“Ugh…”

Ahd fell from the skies, on the verge of death, but was quickly caught by Heba’s sands, Sara quickly flew there, using her angelic wings to heal the dying hunter.

“Ahd! Hang in there-”

RUMBLE!

Yet in that very mont, the skies above the little Sacred Child darkened. Mohad, Heba, and even Ahd’s eyes widened.

Anubis had appeared above her, out of nowhere.

There was only one word that erged in their minds.

Teleportation!

“So you’re the one that makes them all so resilient, a being that can heal... interesting,” said the man. “Killing you would be a waste. You’re going to beco my personal slave, little girl.”

With a creepy smirk, which Sara couldn’t see but that she could sense within the prince’s malice, the giant claws of Anubis rushed towards her.

“SARAAA!”

Mohad and Heba cried, rushing towards Anubis, as hundreds of giant hands made of sand and Mohad’s flying golden fist attacks reached the giant chanical god.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Yet, below the smoke, the unscathed body of Anubis erged. The giant chanical god glared at the hunters with its chanical, golden eyes, groaning at them like a furious jackal.

“GRRHHH… GREHEHE…”

And it laughed!

In his hands, Sara was wrapped tightly around Dark Matter, encapsulating her in a near-indestructible bubble of pure darkness.

“She’s mine now~” the prince laughed. “Thank you for the prize! I’ll make sure to use her well! With her powers, I’ll beco an immortal king! Then I’ll make her give birth to my children, inheriting her powers and my golden bloodline! I can already imagine it! She’s too good to be left in here; you trash wouldn’t know how to use her well!”

“GIVE HER BACK!”

Heba scread, her Mana erupting endlessly as it rushed around the entire sand of the desert, at the sa ti as Mohad reached the titanic cha, swinging his fists with everything he had.

“{Golden Giant Aura}: {Eight Palms of Heaven}!”

Out of nowhere, his Aura transford, revealing eight enormous arms made of gold, pushing their enormous palms against Anubis, trying to even deal a single point of damage.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

CRAAASH!

“Hah! Weak!”

Yet, Anubis remained unscathed, quickly punching the chairman down with trendous force; his arms were broken, and his hands were shredded into pieces.

“YOU MONSTER!”

With a furious roar, Heba, the last remaining of the four hunters, attacked Anubis with everything she had. The entire Sahara heard her call, shaping into titanic fists that rushed towards Anubis from every angle.

“Honestly, your powers… slightly resemble my sister.”

BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!

As Anubis was being attacked from every angle, an endless amount of sand continued trying to crush the ch with pure and sheer weight.

“Nnngghh…! Die…! Just die, you monster!”

Heba cried as she poured every ounce of Mana left within her body, beginning to vomit blood due to the backlash of overusing mana and then pushing her magic beyond her limits.

The sound of tal creaking reverberated everywhere, yet Heba’s Mana was already about to empty completely.

“Co on…! Just die…! Just…!”

Using all her force, the sand hardened to the point of becoming stone, and above the city, a gigantic mountain floated.

“RAAAH!”

With all her force, she launched the giant stone away into the deepest parts of the Sahara Desert, collapsing on the ground and shaking the entire land like a teor.

BOOOMMM!!!

The intensity of the impact made the ground below boil, and the sands of the desert crystallized into glass and broke into countless pieces.

“Hahh… Hahhh… Hahh…”

Heba glanced into the distance, hoping for that giant thing to remain in the ground and for it to simply die already!

“Did that... do it?”

Her blue eyes, however, widened as she noticed sothing approaching at trendous speed.

And then, by encompassing itself into dark matter, it skipped through space.

FLASH!

Anubis appeared in front of her, spreading out its arms, its shadows covering her body. The woman’s face quickly filled with a slight despair.

“It was incredible, but that’s how far your kind can go against the almighty Anubis... I comnd you for your efforts, woman,” the prince laughed. “But this is the end!”

Yet she smiled defiantly.

“Dammit… At least I bought ti.”

FLASH!

“Hm?!”

Akhenaten’s eyes widened as he suddenly noticed the skies above split apart, a golden portal erging, resembling the entrance to an ancient, flying pagoda.

A woman made of light appeared, smiling.

“You’ve called us, and so we are here!” she said. “Heavenly Court’s disciples, show how strong you’ve grown!”

Leading the group of disciples, a Russian woman fell from the skies with short blonde hair and eyes that glowed with purple light.

“{Void Manifestation}”

BOOOM!
