Chapter 36
Seth walked towards St. Paul's Cathedral with a bored look on his face. The Avengers were busy fighting his army lead by the every loyal Serpent Sisters. With the heroes busy it only left him to deal with the human foot soldiers of UNIT and SHIELD along with the British Army. Already he had killed fifty men and women. All of them had hoped to stop him or hold him back until an Avenger showed up to do the real damage. They had thought a rifle with a little blade was all they needed, how wrong they were. That mistake had seen all those men and women who had faced him to have an early death. He had watched as soldiers began to evacuate the citizens in London.
Coming up to the massive doors of St. Paul's Cathedral he could feel his powers bubbling underneath his skin. His long awaited desire of having all of his powers and more was about to be achieved. The Book of the Dead in his hands suddenly felt very heavy and the voices of his brothers could be heard in his ears. They were all begging him to stop in his madness and like before he choose to ignore them. A smile came across his face as he finally entered the holy place.
Walking up to the centre of the Cathedral he placed the Book of the Dead on the ground. Bending down onto one knee he opened the Book and on the first go he opened it to the page that he was looking for. Standing back up on his feet he started to speak the incantation that was written on the page.
"From the darkest part of the Duat I call upon the demons and spirits to grant me all my powers that were stolen from me thousands of years ago. I call upon the ancient darkness to give me the powers of those who had stolen my power. I call upon the demons and spirits of the Duat to come to the world of life and raid it for more souls!"
The candles that were lit in the Cathedral's hall suddenly went out as a wind that had no origin blew them out. In the sky outside dark clouds were forming and the rumble of thunder could be heard over the war cries that were coming from the city. Cracks formed on the ground starting from where Seth stood all the way out of the Cathedral. The cracks slowly got larger that red flames started to creep up from the centre of the Earth.
Seth closed his eyes as he felt power. Power was coursing through his entire body like it had thousands of years ago. Before Horus and Osiris had taken away his powers for the crimes he had committed against the other Gods and the people of Egypt. He had just been taken what they deserved. They were Gods. They deserved not just to be worshipped by humans but to rule them as Kings and Queens like they should have. But the other Gods preferred the way that they had set it up.
Raising his head up to the sky he began to transform his body. His body that years ago had been Thomas, a HYDRA soldier who thought he was going to be rewarded for something or other. His feet grew into massive paws that burst out of his boots. His suits good trousers burst as his legs became large and muscular. His suits jacket burst as his muscles of his body grew in size. Doubling in size Seth snapped his head to the side as his head snapped into a muzzle. Sharp teeth burst his gums. Bursting from his back was huge wings that had many different colours in it.
Opening his eyes they glowed a bright yellow for a second before dulling down to the normal yellow. Inhaling and holding his breathe for a moment he released the air in a great sigh.
"Time to begin!" he said to himself. He walked out of the Cathedral. His sharp claws clicking against the floor with every step he took. In a flash, golden armour appeared all over his body. He was ready for the war that was coming.
The massive cracks suddenly tore open the ground and monstrous figures leapt out.
Out in the streets of London people who were still far away from the fighting where still going about the daily lives. A man walked out of the café where he had been having his lunch when a huge crack appeared in the road. He stopped and looked down at the crack but the sound of something climbing up caused him to look. The sight that he saw made him back away as quickly as possible. A large gnarly body was climbing out of the massive hole that had formed in the road. Its right arm from the elbow had been replaced by a massive blade that looked like it should be in a butcher shop rather than attached to the arm of a giant gnarly monster. The monster grabbed the man and as quick in a blink of an eye killed the man.
All around London demons from the Underworld appeared all over London. The Avengers who were already dealing with Seth's army and his allies were stretched thin already. The sudden appearance of the demons threw them off.
