Rebranding

The woman in the chains was dismayed and full of misery. Despite being shackled she was still very prestigious and well kept. On the morbid planet where billions of ominous cult worshipers lay the beautiful woman. As if a single flower blooming from hell. She had a delicate and soft gloomy aura. She was a goddess and was no doubt beautiful. She was downed in mourning clothes and silent tears were constantly dripping from her eyes.

It was Nephthys, goddess of rivers, death, mourning, the dead, and night! As a major goddess of water she was vital to the Egyptian realm. Beside using the other half of the key, Set didn't have many followers, except a few declining gods of lesser worlds he took under his wing.

Set: I'm not Horus or a bird!!!

Author: Erm, or should we say under his scaly tail

Set: .....

He took a goddess of rivers as hostage and was able to bring in some gods to his side as many worlds need water to sustain life and especially worshipers. He has total control of her and her authorities so he has some degree of influence of the precious resources of water, and mourning rites. He also threatened Anubis, so his connection to the Duat is also solid.

"Set....", The woman gloomy said.

"What ungodly thing have you done to yourself now?", she asked after looking at him. He was already pretty ugly so even this new scaly change didn't phase her. She was used to his ugly appearance.

Set:...

Set just stares at his former wife contemptibly, wanting to tear her apart but not able to do it. It seems like each second he stared at her he would imagine killing her horribly.

"How is our son... how is Anubis...?", she asked after a certain amount of silence. She had been trapped for some time. Ever since she helped Isis revive Osiris, Set never forgave her.

"You dare still ask!!!!!!", Sets eyes flared, black and red flames erupted from his being.

"No matter what you say, I don't care if you do this to me. But he is our son. How can you treat him like this!!!", She said tearfully.

"What? So his relationship with OSIRIS won't be strained? So what!?", Set spat.

"Its too late! I already blackmailed him into causing an uprising in Duat, hah!", Set laughed.

At the mention of Osiris, Nephthys silently started to tear up like she was wrongfully accused and the world was against her.

"SHUT UP!", he bellowed, her actions simply made him swell up in hate. His anger reached an unprecedented level. His anger shook the area they were in. Even the planet gave birth to several sand storms.

"Our lord is angry!!!"Many cultists started to pray and worship Set to appease his anger, but even if this gave him some faith, Set was not in the right mind to even care about such an insignificance.

"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CRY!!!", Set was enraged. His real body that is coiled around the realm started to twitch and squirm. IF any outsiders saw this sight they would have gotten hives from the eerie sight.

"...", While set angry and fumed, Nephthys continues to silently and seemingly for all eternity sob her heart out.

Author: As expected of a goddess of mourning, she sure is a gloomy chick.

Nephthys:...

"Hmph!", Set hated her, but also still couldn't let go of her. He was constantly struggling with the love and hate entwined in his very being, he simply decided to imprison her and use her godly abilities. He left in disgust and when he came out of the temple, his subordinate gods and champions were awaiting him.

Set had an enormous amount of faith but little to use it on besides battle purposes. He also had to use his faith to rule certain authorities and laws in his territory, but it was highly inefficient. He needs some help to manage his worlds and territory to make his worshipers happy and return to earn their worship. He could share his faith points so they could use their various skills with less restrictions. Despite a very small amount of gods allying with him, his enormous pool of faith supplemented most of it .

Set didn't always want to be considered an evil god, so he was thinking of changing his image and was already starting to rebrand himself . No matter how he tried to isolate certain planets and worshipers they eventually find out the truth, and start to view him

"Hmmmmm... I should be known as a protector god and Horus should be known as the usurper!", Set gained and thought and made up a plan in his mind and was already spinning a new story that will be in his image....

"Lord Set, the slaves are here for correction.", one of his subordinates said.

In chains, droves of humans and various life forms were all changed together. They all had unrelenting expressions and iron spirits that refused to submit.

"Convert and worship the great lord Set!!!", one of the overseers whipped them, but not a single one budged.

"Do you want to DIE!?", the overseer bellowed, but the slaves were resolute with their belief. Their fear and forceful tactic had no effect on them.

Many of the slaves were leftovers and spoils of war. Most realms used them as workers and sacrifices, but Set needed a bunch of fresh minds he could mold and didn't know of his past...

Many were hardened warriors and loyal to their god and realm to a stubborn fault, but when set showed his presence they started to waiver ever so slightly

"Hehehe....", Set smiled at his soon to be new worshipers. It was the beginning of the cult of SET!

Set: Its not a cult! Its is a proper religion!

Author: Thats what all cults say.

Set: ...

....

~Somewhere in hell

"Uh! Niflheim is chilly as always.", The nine tailed fox wrapped herself in her tails to make a makeshift coat and scarf.

"Kekeke, Loki you sure have fallen!", A monkey-like man laughed next to her. His laugh was just like a monkey too. He was in traditional Chinese armor with turtle shell patterns. He held a long pole on his shoulders. His monkey tail swished back and forth.

He was the infamous monkey king that managed to cause chaos in the heaves and managed to cultivate himself into a being that rivaled the gods! Legend has it he managed to escape death and obtain immortality by stealing from Laozi. He challenged Buddha countless times and thwarted the jade emperor's efforts in catching him.

(In taoist mythology they where the top dogs and known as the 3 pure ones)

"Wu kong...", Loki said while grinding his teeth. He and the nine tailed fox made it out alive and entered the norse underworld, Niflheim. Out of the ordeal, only the fox managed to benefit from their incursion of the Egyptian realm.

"My babies better be fine!", an enchanting woman with fox tails pointed a long tail at him.

"Oh my, mistress fox, you seem to be even more enchanting!"The monkey king flattered the nine tailed fox, but his next words out of his mouth made her frown before she could even appreciate the compliment.

"If only you were a monkey, you would be perfect, KEKEKE!"

"You-!", the fox fumed.

"Relax, my monkey battalion that I have personally trained has been grouped along them as well. Our forces are ready to mobilize any time", Wu Kong waves his hand nonchalantly.

"Will we really be safe from heaven's wrath?", the monkey king asked Loki. He and the fox made a lot of enemies in the eastern realms.

"Yes my daughter will grant us her protection, but..."

"But?", both the monkey and fox asked inquiry.

"LOOOOIKKK!!!", a voice so cold it could freeze even the sun. A hellish woman who was half flesh and half bone.

Whoosh~

"Byeeeee, I got things to do....", the nine tailed fox escapes as soon as the eerie voice screeches.

"Uhhh, I gota train...", the monkey makes his escape on his nimbus cloud as well.

"Hehe... daughter, is that some way to call your father?", Loki laughs nervously as he faces the voice. His daughter was the only one of his children he couldn't control. She is Hel! The goddess of the norse underworld where Odin himself throned her!

"Won't you cut me some slack, its for your sealed brothers as well, don't you want to free them?", Loki tries the pity card.

"Our deal! I-want-him!!!", she demanded as ice started to freeze the air around him.

The pity card has failed!

"Your mother desires this as well, it's for the good of our kind!", Loki presses on.

The woman's half bone face remained chilly and the air started to freeze even more.

"Yes, yes I most certainly will...., it will take some time and countless preparations, my dear daughter...", as Loki started to say a bunch of excuses and flowery words, to try and soothe his fierce daughter's rampage.

"Hmmm you better, or your soul is MINE!!", but Hel wasn't having any of it, so she set her ultimatum. She glared at Loki and he felt like a frozen chain bringing something invisible in him.

"Ok, ok..", Loki could only smile and comply. What has he gotten himself into... ? He had to kill one of the most beloved gods in his realm!!!

"But no matter, it's for the throne, I will do anything!!!"

....

~Somewhere else in hell lay a 3 headed dog.

The former phoenix was trying to make 3 heads and a tail with its new body. Wasn't it just a cute little bird? How did it turn into a hideous 3 headed monster!?!?

This new form was quite weird. Having 3 heads meant having 3 different wills that were all him but also different. One head was the most active while the other heads were nearly decorations that acted on instinct. It also received more information and had a broader vision with its 3 pairs of eyes. It still suffered from sensory overload with his canine smell as well.

The environments in various underworlds greatly differed, and from his knowledge that professor Thoth lectured about, the mutt didn't think it was in Duat. The air was putrid and most of all it was hot! Insanely hot! It is even hotter than the desserts of the Egyptian realm! It was as if the heat was meant to eat away at ones will and torture you.

The underworld it was in was devoid of life and countless skeletons littered the ground. The earth was red and the sky was eternally dark. Screams of tortured souls screamed as they basked in a sea of fire. It was pretty sure which underworld he resided in!

It had seen some pictures and images Thoth showed it and the signature fiery style is from Christian Hell, ruled by Satan!
