“B-But…” Redeye seemed to be slowly falling into despair.

“Now, Merneith, you have two options…”

As Djet started talking, the two guards by his side, which never moved, suddenly stepped forward, receiving some strange blue and golden aura from him.

Their armors suddenly changed, becoming robust and larger, with more layers of defensive metal, at the same time as they gained the appearance of a Machine God, a small one.

Weapons resembling tridents made of water were manifested from their hands as their auras overflowed with water-like particles.

“You either come with me willingly, and I won’t harm you… Or we’ll do this the rough way, and I’ll beat some sense into you.”

The two guards stepped forward, overflowing with similar Divine Power to the one Machine Gods had, but at a lower level.

“As if I would ever go along with you…” Merneith sighed. “I would rather die than give up now.”

“I don’t mind!” Djet laughed. “Ah, you’ll be the perfect test for these new Machine Soldier Models. Did you see how they transformed? They can assimilate the Golden Bloodline Aura of a Royal Family member and transform, gaining some of the Divine Power of the Machine God!”

FLASH! FLASH!

Both machine soldiers rushed forward, moving faster than Merneith thought; the two of them surrounded her. One of them went for her left and the other for her right side.

“Ra! Wings!”

As she roared, the blazing wings of Ra materialized out of thin air, protecting her in a powerful armor; the trident’s blows from both machine soldiers slammed the blazing wings with tremendous explosions of water.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

“Hah!”

With a roar, Merneith moved her hands down as Ra’s blazing spear spun around, hitting both machine soldiers and throwing them away with an explosion of flames.

BOOOM!

“Tch, put more effort into it!”

Djet grew angry as the two Machine Soldiers released stronger Divine Auras, encompassing their entire bodies.

“{Nile’s Flood}!”

And by combining their power, they unleashed their own Nile’s Flow, as a giant spiraling wave of weakening water reached Ra!

And yet, Merneith was quite confident.

“Ra! {Blazing Wing Tornado}!”

“CRYAAAAH!”

The head of Ra manifested above her, roaring angrily, as his blazing wings moved rapidly, unleashing a giant tornado of flames, clashing against the water!

BOOOMMM!!!

An explosion of steam spread everywhere as the water rapidly boiled and evaporated due to the immensely strong heat of Ra’s flames.

“{Blazing Feather Rain}!”

Merneith didn’t stop there, as the wings of Ra unleashed several blazing feather projectiles against her foes, bombarding them with explosions of flames.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The flames were so strong that the veil of divine power around the Machine Soldiers rapidly evaporated, beginning to damage the hard armor, cracks spreading continuously.

“W-Wha…?! How is her bond with Ra so strong? She had never piloted that Machine God before!”

Djet-Ka was left speechless as he glanced at the scene, glancing behind him as the portal was still active. He began to consider escaping, but that would probably harm his pride way too much.

“No, it doesn’t matter, as long as I have Khnum…!”

He quickly summoned the entire Machine God Khnum.

FLUOSH!

A god representing the flooding waters of the Nile, which brought with the stilt and clay, he was also said to have modeled humans from clay and even other animals and the deities of Egypt.

A rather obscure god to the knowledge of most people about the Egyptian Pantheon, he was oftentimes seen as a Creator God, but never truly held as much Authority as other, stronger, and more prominent figures.

Nonetheless, his powers and the “mythology” behind him had created a powerful mechanical form and an even stronger crystallized core.

RUMBLE!

From a large golden portal, a giant machine emerged, over ten meters in height, bulky and intimidating, with enormous legs with hooves and also large arms with several big fingers, with a body mostly colored in gold and azure colors, with many embedded jewels of blue and red, and with a green-colored head shaped as a ram, the Machine God’s appearance was more than just intimidating; it was overwhelming…

TRUUUM!

As he emerged, his Divinity spread everywhere; the Saurians started choking due to the intense power coming from this machine, while Merneith and Ra prepared to battle, quickly summoning Ra in its entirety too.

The pilots of these Machine Gods were more than capable of controlling their Machine Gods even without being inside, and given the situation, both of them couldn’t afford the time to enter their machines, unfortunately.

“This is Khnum, Merneith! A powerful God that controls the Nile’s Flood and even Clay itself… Once even called the one that modeled the other Gods’ bodies! Do you truly believe Ra can go against him?!”

As he laughed, Merneith stepped forward, Ra’s aura growing stronger as he roared mightily against Khnum, who was overflowing with an azure-colored aura.

“Of course I can, and I’ll defeat you just as easily.”

“Hahaha! Keep dreaming, you stupid child!”

Djet laughed, mocking her despite being her uncle. It seemed that there were simply no family bonds between the two, as they treated one another as nothing else than enemies aiming towards each other’s throats.

RUMBLE!

Both Machine Gods stepped forward; the Machine Soldiers attempted to stop Ra midway through, getting in his way by Djet’s orders.

However…

“Don’t get in the way!”

Merneith roared angrily, her body wrapped in a blinding light, as she suddenly transformed, gaining a powerful full-body suit and armor of green and golden color, turning into the Green Dekai Gaoranger of Sincerity.

She gained a pair of blazing wings made of green flames and a pair of spears made of the same fire, which she quickly used to fly towards the Machine Soldiers, attacking them fiercely.

“{Blazing Emerald Spears of Sincerity}!”

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

“What…?!”

“She…!”

The two Soldiers inside the Machines were left perplexed, as Merneith attacked them, and not only did she do that, but she also pushed them away with an unprecedented level of strength.

“Ra, take down Khnum, but don’t destroy his core!” Said Merneith. “Arms and legs, or even the head, can be regenerated easily, though.”

As Merneith talked, she smiled, glaring at the two Machine Soldiers.

“Very well, now that things have come to this, which one of you peasants will go down first against my graceful spear?”
