Min stepped up as soon as Ephus was done with his declarations. Ephus held up his hand to stop him.

"I also wish to make sure that all of this is fair Ra." Ephus told the male with the sun disk head gear that was sitting next to him.

A wry smile crossed Ra's lips as he nodded. "I know that you are a truly honest man, now demi-god. Please proceed Ephus."

Ephus moved to Min laying his hand on him a moment. The shock that was apparent on Min's face was almost comical. "By all the females that I have yet to meet! Astonishing! I can feel the power flowing into me!"

Ephus approached Thoth who shook his head and pointed to the others. Moving on to Anhur and Apophis Ephus laid a hand on each of their shoulders watching as their eyes also flew wide in astonishment. "By all of the sky realm!" Stated Anhur.

"I haven't felt this way in a very long time!" Shouted Apophis.

Nodding Ephus moved to Khonshu and Shu repeating the same thing. Smiling, when he saw that they too were shocked, at the amount of power that they now had. Past them, Ephus saw that Horus was waiting almost like a child with a long awaited gift to open.

"I am unsure of how much you need as you are one of the older gods." Ephus told Horus hoping that he didn't piss him off.

"What you give will be a welcomed increase from what I am now!" Horus said with a wide smile. Nodding Ephus laid his hand on Horus who at first showed no sign of feeling anything. Then just as suddenly his eyes were also growing wide as he started to glow a bit. Letting go Ephus had to steel himself up as he moved toward Sobek.
