Apep appeared out of nowhere, wielding the power of dark matter and springing toward the true gods.
"What?!" They were startled, not expecting Auric to have even more allies hidden.
Still, true gods were true gods. They skillfully avoided Apep before attacking him.
"Haaaa!" Apep screeched before chasing after one true god. His body was full of injuries, but those injuries were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This was one of Apep's abilities, immortality. He could die, but he never truly died. At the same time, his regeneration, which kept his immortality, was extremely strong.
Even when Apep fought Nathan for the first time, he showed signs of recovery. That was why Nathan had to crush his spirit beforehand. If not, Apep wouldn't accept the contract.
Of course, Nathan didn't intend to fully control Apep. Apep was uncontrollable, so asking him to do something was the same as provoking him.
Instead, he let Apep go on a rampage, and he focused on the rest.
