A year after having prevented the Rägnarok from destroying the Earth and the various worlds connected to the Nordic Pantheon, Echidna and her offspring are more than ever seen as heroes throughout this world which is called to change. However, the peace is only relative, because the particular family receives the visit of Anubis, the God of the Dead for the Egyptians, who warns them of the coming of a catastrophic threat against which his lord, Ra, God of the sun of this pantheon, fight. Apophis, the gigantic snake wanting to destroy the World, gains ground against the Falcon God and Anubis humbly asks for help from the family of "monsters", against the advice of his family. However, once in Egypt, our heroes realize two important things. First, the monster is controlled by Seth, the god of evil of the Egyptians, who wants to take the place of Ra, his own father. And, above all, Apophis is actually Typhon, the father of the children of Echidna, who was brainwashed by Seth ! Faced with this horrible discovery, our heroes will do everything to save this world... while also hoping to be able to save their father, whose absence in their lives has weighed heavily on them for millennia, especially for the youngest, Echidnaness, who never known him...
