The sunbeams clashed with the sea of fire and gradually whittled away the fire. It was a tie once again! Ra looked on with a calm face, unfazed. Amaterasu also continued her dance like nothing had happened. She had never once stoped her elegant steps and managed to repeal the devastating attacks, Ra launched. Her face always had a faint smile as if to convey that she was not even in a deadly battle, but simply preforming a carefree dance.
Ra (On the inside): Wheeze~ Holy crap! This crazy lady with stood that!!!!!
Amaterasu (On the inside): That scared me! When will that old roster drop dead?!! My feet hurt! Im tired! My arms are aching from waving the fans!
Under that false facade the sun deities where secretly in aching pain. They spent billions of faith points and neither refused to back down. Their pride won't allow it!
Ra transforms into his final form, Khnum, the god of evening! Unlike the 2 previous forms, the one he took on was more solemn and didn't really have that flashy look. He took on the form of a grey ram-headed man with dead like eyes which stared on lifelessly. His sun disk dimmed considerably as it lay between his horns, but that didn't change the fact of his ominous aura. In this form he was proficient in water, earth, and especially life. He held up a Ankh and boundless life energy seeped out of it. It was the symbol of life and with that Khnum injected his godly will into it and the Ankh turned dark and lifeless.
Each time he took on new forms it was like he was accelerating time. He was the sun god, taking on his forms forcefully changed the sun to pass through its phases. Every single planet witnessed as the sun awaken like it was morning, then rise high like it was day, then fall as it was dusk.
Mortals: Its the end of the word!!!! Almighty, Ra, is angry.
Many mortals thought the solar deity was mad and many groveled and prayed to a please him. Little did they know all they did was supply him with faith and prayers, that generate power for the gods.
This form was the one he used to created the world and formed the mortals from clay. He birthed his godly children who made up the bases of their realm, and created the nile that was the source of all life. Before man was made, his radiance was bright but none could witness his brilliance. There was nothing were he could show his glory, so he made land and created a paradise for all to worship him.
Legend had it that Khnum took wet clay from the nile and shaped man, while Ra shone his rays to harden the clay and eventually formed man. Before his names where revealed to Isis nobody knew they were the same god! In short humans were made by very advanced pottery.
(There are tons of interpretations. One where it was other gods who made man which shared alot of similarities with Ra, which is why many thought ra had different forms or thought they were separate beings all together. Another one is when his eye fell out and, bam, man was made. Yup myths are weird.)
Author: How shallow...
Ra: I was young!
Many gods were like this as they seek the embrace of praise and love from others as well as companionship. In short they were just bored and lonely....
Looking back he was really embarrassed how cocky and confident he was back then... Not only that his own creation was his downfall... He felt a lot of regret.
He gathered the influx of faith coming and condensed it into his Ankh. Almost as if all light had been swallowed deathly grey light emitted from Khnum. As if it was sign of death, as if all light had died, the grey light signified the end of day. While he may have been a creator, he could also destroy.
Amaterasu conjured countless sunbeams to form a tidal wave of blinding light. Each time she waved her fans the sea of light ripped with virtues light. The imaginary orchestra that was accompanying her performance was also reaching its climax, she formed a finish pose and unlaced the stored power. Pure and endless, she generated life energy. It was a perfect counter to the grey light that sought death!
The grey wanted to devour the life, while the life eroded the grey wanting to persevere. As the devastating forces clashed, no one would have guessed the outcome. The formless energy clashed with ensuring complexity. Like a snake thing to swallow its tail, they devoured each other.
Ra reverted back to his wither old man form and started to massage his aching shoulders and back. Amaterasu stopped her performance and immediately fell on her bottom. She started to rub her sore feet that had blisters.
Both of the sun deities loss all care for appearances and started to reveal their true nature and licked their wounds out in the open.
As their attack swirled in a complicated smoothie, a black hole emerged out of nowhere! eviscerations and tears of unstable space tore though the arae they where in! Every thing was distorted and turning blurry. Cracks started to form and reality seemed to fracture.
The two supreme gods of the celestial sun locked in deadly combat naturally sensed this disruption and it was on the cosmetic scale!
"The key....", Ra, sensed the special fluctuation the key gave off.
"What has happened!?!!?!"
Suddenly a transparent wind-like form of a human appeared before Ra.
"Shu?!?!"
It was Shu the god of air, the father and god tasked with keeping Geb and Nut apart!!!
"My lord I cannot hold them much longer... the key is fractured...", wheezed, Shu.
"Fractured!??!", before Ra could ask anymore questions, Shu dissipated into nothing as if he ran out of steam. He had wanted to warn his lord earlier, but he could not approach them in their heated battle, not to mention he expend a lot of energy in keeping Geb and Nut apart as long as possible.
Alas Nut and Geb were too strong. As punishment for defying Ra and giving birth, they were sealed and their authorities were partially controlled by the keys. All these years the lovers slumbered in their sorrow and all that time of inactivity they gained massive amount of faith power that was unused. They were now using that massive storage to break free of their bounds and meet each other once again!!!
Shu was the barrier that kept the earth and sky apart, with his disappearance, he no longer possessed the strength to stop the earth and sky form embracing in a world ending, lovers embrace!!!
"What did I pay that Sphinx for!!!", roared Ra.
"HE IS SO FIRED!"
The sphinx that was still in a love coma and being brutally bounded by the Japanese forces: Sorry I already switched camps...
Meanwhile Ra was still piecing the situation together, Amaterasu was extremely disoriented and bewildered.
"What is happening!?!?!?", she was weakened and was in no shape to stop the collapsing space.
"Wait isn't this a good chance that this realm will fall? Should I risk helping the collapse happen faster?", it was a tempting offer, but this isn't necessary a good thing. Perhaps a major shift in the divine realm of gods will happened and war will break out. Who knows who will benefit from this and it is unlikely their Japanese realm will be the ones to reap the prize and just might be swept up in a war with countless sacrifices.
She decided against it and just wanted to leave, without out impending or helping the Egyptian realm. Just as she was about to create a channel back home, it suddenly hit her. A flurry of mental notifications bombarded her mind.
"Shimatta! My forces!!!!", she totally forgot about her army... (Japanese word for crap)
"What! That slutty fox is here!?", she went through the report her subordinates gave her.
"The key was broken!?!?!", it was too much information for her to handle!
Author: Such a clutz...
The Japanese forces: Amaterasu-sama!!!! Starts to cry in distress
Amaterasu: Im coming my babies!!!!
The sun dieties were shocked out of their battle frenzy and rushed to find out what happened.
.......
"Ssssssssss, I smell chaos.... must go to Chaos", an enormous serpent like creature retina voice said. Currently in its mouth was a uncertain piece of meat. It dropped the carcass and it corroded into nothing. There were thousands of dead bodies of monsters around it.
Weird monsters started to attack it and for some reason they seemed to retreat after launching attacks. It had been resting after losing to Ra for the millionth time. These creature were weak, but numbered in the thousands. They would attack each and every single part of its long body. It was covered in scratches.
When there is light there is chaos, as Ra created, Apophis, his mortal enemy tried to destroy. They were born from nothing and where there since primordial times. From different sides of the same coin. Destined enemies.
As the key ruptured time and space, the giant serpent caught a whiff of ensuing chaos and conflict. It was drawn to the chaos as if it was a delicious meal. It ignored the monsters attacking it, and slithered to the whiff of chaos it smelled.
The monster also started to retreat as ruptures and tears swallowed their bodies. Their job was done...
