Chapter 58 - All Choices Are Equally Bad!

Isis didn't know what to say. She never figured the lofty cat would defend her. They had a sour relationship due to her poisoning her beloved lord and putting her husband onto the throne forcefully. Her interaction with Baster ended up in her hissing at her or her menacingly sharpening her claws.

"Fix them.", was all she said. Wordlessly she turned her back towards her and fended off anyone who neared Isis.

"Thank you...", gratified by an unlikely ally she hurried to examine the frenzied gods.

Gods of all sorts were scrambling in madness and the one who relied on faith from Set were affected depending on how much they received. Only a few of the stronger gods didn't stoop to the lower gods level and didn't absorb any of the tainted faith. They all rallied to protect Isis as she concocted a cure.

"This is a vile mixture of several authorities...Just where did Set obtain this?!?!", Isis put her hand and took a sample of the faith that was running rampant inside a fallen god that Bastet knocked out.

In her hand was a flickering red mist that she examined, she invoked her faith and empowered herself and deeply concentrated on the tainted faith. It had the signature red color of Set along with other colors of foreign substances. They had various effects such as illusions, seduction, and chaos.... No wonder no-one found it strange. It was a combination of various curses that clouded their minds.

This was going to be difficult! She had to cure the curse and mend the various conditions that the tainted faith left in its traces. She had to also find various countermeasures for the other minor curses mixed in along with it.

Gods were fickle and were extremely isolationist. They care only about their own realm and refuse to coexist with others.

The dummy bird was left with nowhere to go!

He looked to the west, he saw an angry mob of crazed gods. To the South he saw a monstrous Fox being tied up by the Japanese forces. To the East he saw Horus and Set desperately tried to trip each other up and chase after it. To the North the only one unoccupied was Loki and he was hot on its tail!

"Oh crap, chirp!", its choices were all equally bad!

The fearsome Set reminded him when he nearly drove him insane during the banquet. It never forgot the state of its minds as he tried to gaze at his faith points. Horus was barely stopping him so he might hinder his big bro. So, that's a no go.

The crazed god were attacking anyone who neared them. It saw that even his mama Isis was not spared from their indiscriminate attacks and couldn't help as she was preoccupied with curing them. That's not an option as well.

He looked at the foreign warriors of the Japanese realm. They were very different in appearance with the Dark skinned Egyptians. Their skin was white and looked petite, but they were no ordinary mortals. They were the elite warriors and champions of gods in Amateseru court, who chose them personally.

"How much faith do they have?", he asked the Thoth system.

"On average 40 million per individual", responded the Thoth system.

Nearly half a billion! There were millions within that army to boot too! No wonder why they were able to restrain the fox. They worked together and formed complicated seals with their hands and chains of light were constantly being wrapped around the fox. By the way the sphinx who was still not in its right mind after being seduced in the corner was also mercilessly locked up with little resistance.....

The poor sphinx got dragged into the mess due to simply being near his captor....

It better not risk it, as he didn't know what the Japanese forces would do to it and may seal it with the same fate as the sphinx... The only option it had left was to stall Loki long enough for either Horus to defeat Set or for mama Isis to find the cure.

It braced itself and faced Loki.

"Oh? Aren't you brave~", Loki said as he finally caught up with the scummy bird.

The sound of the scummy bird's wings beating sounded silently for a bit. It calmed itself and in a flutter and it raised its spirit to the fullest. It didn't have any other choice, but to stall for time.

It's body was engulfed in 2 different colored flames and it threw all the attacks it could at Loki. Hues of sinister purple and brilliant orange-red exploded.

Loki somehow procured several daggers in his hand and held several of them so that they formed a fan shape.

"Just how many daggers does he have!!!", cried the scummy bird.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of his knives cutting air sounded as they darted towards the scummy bird.

The scummy bird tried to destroy the daggers with it's fire, but other than knocking them away, they were pretty indestructible.

Of course they are! They did come from a divine beast that was on the same level as powerful gods! Its purple fire couldn't burn it away, but the orange-red did somewhat curb the poison.

The next move of Loki's made the scummy bird despair even more. Loki signature illusions formed several clones. They all wielded daggers and formed a throwing motion.

"You got to be kid-"

They all three daggers at the same time and the scummy bird had to weave in complicated patterns to dodge them. From the viewpoint of the scummy bird all it could see was a rain of blades.

It couldn't discern which were real so he gave up all notion on finding out which was real and focused its energy on evasion. They were the same poison covered daggers that almost did him and the sphinx in! It had no time to stop and heal itself, or it might be captured!

"Someone rescue meeeeeee, quack!!", the pitiful parrot thought as it desperately tried to evade an undodgeable volly of deadly blades.
