KHONSHU: Today, we begin a new age.

KHONSHU: Today, I am an Omega-God.

KHONSHU: That is, to say, a God that has slain multiple Gods and taken their powers.

KHONSHU: The sun, the earth, the sky, the storm, the desert, the moon, vengeance, writing, war, embalming, violence, and death.

KHONSHU: Today begins the new, and vastly improved…

KHONSHU: CULT OF KHONSHU!

CAPTION: NOW

KHONSHU: Before we establish the ground rules of the glorious cult of Khonshu…

KHONSHU: There’s still the matter that my head priest has yet to attend to.

KHONSHU: You have yet to tell me what you feel.

MOON KNIGHT: The desire for vengeance.

KHONSHU: Vengeance is meaningless without the spark.

KHONSHU: But… but what do you DO?

15.2

Khonshu.

KHONSHU: You kill criminals!

KHONSHU: And not because they killed your family, I get that.

KHONSHU: But because you love it!

15.3

PUNISHER: No.

PUNISHER: I do it because I need to.

FANTASTIC ENDING!

I love the argument between Khonshu and Punisher. And if I may ask, what do you have planned for your next fic?

I'm writing an ongoing fan-script for my version of Hybrid at the moment. I'm probably going to upload the first story arc soon.

As for where Moon Knight goes... I think Ghost Rider teaming up with the cult of Khonshu would be neat.
