"Sand Spears!" Cairo stated as ten spears made of sand suddenly blasted from the sand and went straight towards the Goddess Sekhmet.
The Goddess Sekhmet did not even blink as the sand spears are turned into shards of glass when the ten collided to her fiery body. Cairo did not stop there as he created five sand soldiers that are archers. Each of the sand soldier fired bolts of arrows made with sun energy. Cairo thought that this would fail as well as he only wanted to buy time, but the sun arrows actually pierced through the fiery body of the goddess.
"It was effective!" Cairo stated out loud, but the glare of the Goddess Sekhmet burned the area as he was chased.
Cairo had no other choice but to circle around the area and keep the Goddess Sekhmet in place. He was already contacted by the Sun God Ra to not let her escape from the area. She has a fragment of the Distorted God Apophis which means she is a target if she leaves.
Cheops managed to free himself from the flaming cage by using his mastery of the winds. He basically created a dome above the flaming cage that made air not circulate. Without the needed gases, the flames died down in under a minute. This is possible because the fire that the Goddess Sekhmet uses is natural fire and not magical fire summoned by fire magic.

"What is happening?" One of the top guilds asked as they were celebrating when the Temple of Bastet started to catch fire and a lion headed woman burst out of it.
"The Goddess Sekhmet is rampaging. If you have nothing better to do, then search for something to do." Frey stated as she filled her body with mana and burst out into a powerful jump.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe players now realized that the Goddess Sekhmet mentioned in the notifications was the goddess before them. They did not think that they would see her this early, but the notifications are also a warning. The Goddess Sekhmet wants to burn the world as payment for the death of the Sun God Ra.
Just as the top guilds were wondering what to do, some of them started to plot something that will benefit them. Some of the top guilds thought that they will definitely be rewarded by the Goddess Sekhmet when they are the ones that calm her down. In fact, they could deduce that there is a high chance that they might become a champion, or an avatar should they calm her down.
"We must calm the goddess." One of the top guild leaders stated to their second in command.
"You are right, guild master. She might even choose you as an avatar as you are a person of the western continent and a female as well. You are also able to wield fire magic like the goddess which means she will definitely favor you." The vice guild master replied to her guild master.
The guilds that are like-minded started to move towards the Goddess Sekhmet while those that are more observant saw the pale silver snake bracelet that the Goddess Sekhmet has on her right hand. It was none other than the Spirit of Apophis which is the item that they are protecting from the Distorted God Apophis.
"If we retrieve the item from the goddess then we might get something big in exchange from the Temple of Bastet." One of the top guild's brains stated.
"You are correct. We might even get a Mythical tier item immediately upon doing so." A guild member replied.
In the end, all the guilds that were there in the Temple of Bastet decided to stop the rampaging goddess. Even if the plans are different, the good thing is that all of them are uniting for a cause. What they did not expect is that the Goddess Sekhmet is vastly different from the Shadow of Apophis.
The guilds thought that they might be able to easily handle the Goddess Sekhmet since they are able to handle the army that the Shadow of Apophis commands. The only thing that they did wrong was to overestimate themselves since the Goddess Sekhmet is fully descended unto the mortal realm which meant that she could use all the powers of a goddess. Half of the top guilds were burned to death in an instant.
Adrian reappeared back to the Temple of Bastet with the others that has just arrived. He is shocked to see that the whole place was a burning inferno. The army of the Shadow of Apophis might have destroyed the houses into rubbles, but the Goddess Sekhmet turned the whole city below into ashes.
"You guys know of the plan. Incapacitate the goddess and I will send her directly to the Temple of the Sun where the Sun God Ra will handle the rest." Adrian stated and everyone started to move.
When all of them started to move, the Goddess Sekhmet suddenly exploded into a powerful supernova which engulfed a large area into a flaming sun. Only a handful of players were able to survive, and Cheops is gravely injured as a result. The Goddess Sekhmet is no longer holding back as she is starting to become as powerful as a lesser god and is starting to break the world limit.
[The Goddess Sekhmet has turned Supernova.]
[The Goddess Sekhmet's power is rising rapidly, and it would only take three more hours before she rises in power to a lesser god.]
"We have three hours before we can no longer stop her. Everyone! There is no time to hold back." Adrian stated.
"Affirmative." The rest of the guild members stated.
Only twenty guild members are present in the Pantheon guild as the rest are either dead or left to protect the Temple of the Sun. The core guild members were in the present numbers as they are the only ones that could stop a demigod as of this moment. Peridot is the first one to set the stage as she chanted a powerful spell that created rain in exchange for a water crystal.
Creepysoo followed in her pace as he raised the all the dead that he could control. He prioritized the monsters that could fly as the Goddess Sekhmet is flying using fire. Since the blood is still fresh, Solstice started collecting all of the blood that she could get her hands on. Some of the blood already evaporated because of the heat that the Goddess Sekhmet released.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen the rain started to pour down, the flames that the Goddess Sekhmet created started to weaken. Rain is hard to come by in the desert which means the Goddess Sekhmet would have been unbeatable should the sun be up in the sky. The dark clouds that the rain brought hid the sun which also weakened the Goddess Sekhmet.
"I already used most of my powerful skills in getting the other sun stones. The best that I can do is heal the injured which is why you guys should have fun." Levin Cloud stated as he hanged out in the back healing the priests and warriors that the Goddess Sekhmet injured.
Kabrakan is also out of powerful defensive skills but a fight with a goddess is not something he could pass on. His shields are nearing their destruction which meant that a mythical tier shield is not a pipe dream. A goddess that fully descended would be the best way for his shields to get destroyed. Adrian directly sent him to Cairo as the poor guy has been running in circles and is being kept alive by Frey.
Vayu and Soleil decided to aid Cairo as well which is for the better. Vayu's storm element managed to get more powerful because of the rain while Soleil could absorb some of the fire that the Goddess Sekhmet releases. Even the Goddess Sekhmet is shocked upon seeing a being that is able to absorb her fire. The shock almost woke up the Goddess Sekhmet from her blind rage.
"To think that the sinners would even get the help of outsiders! This is proof that the west must be purified by my hands! Flaming Roar!" The Goddess Sekhmet stated as she released a powerful roar that created massive heat wave.
"Kanlaon!" Adrian commanded as Kanlaon created a multi-layer barrier that defended them from the attack, but some were not fortunate enough.
"Took you long enough." Frey stated as Adrian appeared next to her.
"Sorry about that. There was a sudden attack to the Temple of the Sun when I arrived there. It seems that the angels are also our enemy now. They really are a bunch that cannot be reasoned with. Fortunately, it was only angel players that attacked and not the archangels." Adrian replied.
"What is this tension?" Levin Cloud stated as his head suddenly sprouted out from the ground which scared those around him.
"Why are you like that?" Adrian asked.
"No time for that. I am here to tell you that the Temple of Bastet has a way to disable the Goddess Sekhmet's flames." Levin Cloud stated.
