Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator

Dinglingling——

The wind blew and the silver bells rang.

In the palace of Memphis, when Moses was stopped by armed guards at the steps of the palace, the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt, the son of Seti I, the over 100-year-old Pharaoh Ramses II, was admiring the scroll spread out in front of him.

His old body was still agile, and in fact, different from the conclusion drawn by later generations based on the records in some scriptures, as the third pharaoh of the 19th Dynasty of Egypt and one of the great rulers in Egyptian history, Ramses was a very capable king, and theoretically he was not the "villain" recorded in the scriptures.

He had mobilized troops abroad and won repeatedly, had many children and was good at poetry and architecture, and made great achievements in the fields of culture, military and politics. So much so that later generations even called him "Ramses the Great" to commemorate his achievements.

Of course, compared with these, the most inconsistent point between this pharaoh who is closest to the gods and historical records is his obviously much longer life.

After all, according to later records, when Moses met the king with his staff, this famous pharaoh should have died long ago, and his descendants should have inherited the position.

But obviously, although he is over a hundred years old now, Ramses II is still in good spirits. He is still the master of this dynasty, and his successor is still unknown.

"Huh——"

"Abu Simbel Temple is really a miracle created by mortals, and it is also one of my proudest achievements."

"And now, with the help of the Hebrews, I will create a second one."

Taping the table with his fingers, the pharaoh admired the masterpiece on the scroll.

It was a drawing of a temple, and it was also a masterpiece he made when he was young to show his achievements.

According to this drawing, he ordered people to carve out four huge statues from the rocks of the mountain, depicting the holy images of himself and three gods.

Needless to say, the one belonging to Ramses himself, and the other three, are actually one god.

Amon, Ra, and Atum, the sun trinity, the master of Heliopolis.

As a pharaoh, Ramses put his statue together with them, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Ra is the sun in the sky, and I am the sun on earth. The gods obey Ra, just as mortals obey me, and I am the only agent of God in the world.

Tap tap tap -

"Your Majesty."

There was a sound of footsteps, and Ramses II raised his head slightly.

"What's the matter?"

The pharaoh asked calmly.

Under normal circumstances, no one would disturb him at noon, and everyone knew that a centenarian's rest should not be disturbed. So if nothing unexpected happened, it should be that he encountered an unexpected incident that he had to deal with.

"Your Majesty, outside the palace, there is a man from Midian who claims to be here at the will of God and wants to see you..."

Kneeling on one knee, the guard said in a deep voice: "He wants to discuss the rise and fall of the race with you. I cannot measure the authenticity of his words. Please decide everything."

"You said, God's will?"

The expression did not change. The Pharaoh was not surprised by the experience of a hundred years.

He easily suppressed the shock in his heart, but subconsciously straightened his back and looked at the guard in front of him with sharp eyes.

"Hehe... Another messenger of God?"

This is not the first one, God's will...Although in this mythological world, Ramses II lived much longer than later records, but the way for mortals to gain power in the Hemenu world was so pitiful that his life was not that long.

The time he lived would eventually come to an end, and the world of the dead was waiting for his arrival.

Fortunately, he had been in the world for a long time, so long that he was not afraid of facing death. But what really bothered Ramses II was that when he was in power, the connection between the gods and the human world was suddenly cut off.

Was this the anger of the gods, a punishment for casting bronze statues and building temples?

He didn't know, but he thought it wasn't. Because the glory and achievements he brought to the gods far exceeded these, until a few years ago, the gods still praised his merits.

This might be because of something else, so he must restore this connection before his death, and the last oracle issued by the gods was to gather those foreigners who shed sinful blood.

So the pharaoh ordered them to build temples in order to please the gods.

"You did a good job, let him come to see me."

"I also want to hear which god ordered him to come, and what he wanted me to do."

Ramses closed the scroll and said lightly.

If it's true, then everything is easy to say.

If it was fake again, and it was another guy pushed out by a noble who questioned that he was abandoned by God...

Then he would let him know what he had the right to rule this dynasty for so many years.

...

"Sir, please come in, the Son of the Sun is waiting for you inside."

In the spacious palace, Moses walked inside under the guidance of the guards.

The scepter station made a slight sound, and looking at the surrounding environment, this was where he had lived before.

Half familiar, half strange, when Moses stepped through the door of the inner hall, he finally saw the owner here.

"Your Majesty, the person has been brought here."

The guard bowed slightly, and the Pharaoh immediately waved his hand to signal him to withdraw.

In front of the table, from the moment Moses appeared at the door, Ramses looked at this "messenger of God" who gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"I heard that you came to discuss with me at the will of the gods?"

The elderly Pharaoh went straight to the point and did not intend to be polite.

He wanted to expose the other party's lies or prove his truth, and Moses nodded in response.

"Yes, Your Majesty, that's why I came. You are the master of Upper and Lower Egypt, but God is the master of this world. I came here at the will of God to spread His glory among the world."

"Very good."

Showing a smile, the Pharaoh seemed very enthusiastic.

"So, this 'God's messenger', I wonder which god's will you follow? Which one of the nine pillars of gods is he, and what kind of power does he hold?"

Just as Chaos has twelve main gods, Egypt also has nine pillars of gods. Just as the twelve main gods in the original mythology include the god king Zeus, the nine pillars of gods in Egypt also include the sun god Ra.

In addition to the nine pillars of gods, Egypt has many gods, even the patron gods of large and small city-states, just like Chaos's regional gods. But

Obviously, the one who is qualified to issue an oracle to Pharaoh must be one of the highest nine pillars.

"Your Majesty, I am not a believer in the God you know."

With a slight bow, facing Pharaoh's enthusiasm, Moses had a bad premonition.

"I believe in the Creator of all spirits, and offer everything I have to the eternal divine. Everything spiritual in this world belongs to Him."

All spirits...

The smile became more enthusiastic. Ramses II seemed to accept this explanation easily.

The elderly monarch asked again:

"So that's it... The gods in the world are not known to mortals, and it is not surprising that there are things I have not heard of."

"Then the 'messenger of God' who came from afar, I wonder what kind of oracle you brought from the gods?"

"... Your Majesty, along the way, I saw people like the stars in the sky, suffering on the earth. They were detained nearby and had no freedom to leave."

Speaking in a deep voice, Moses' words were sincere and heartfelt.

"In the eyes of my Lord, all intelligent beings in the world are equal. The noble and the humble are equal, and the evil and the good are equal."

"So I come here to ask you to release the Hebrews trapped near Memphis. Since their existence is not accepted by the Egyptians, let my people go and celebrate the festival to me in the wilderness."

The Hebrews...

The smile faded, and Ramses II could notice that the guards around him were a little angry, but he still didn't mean to be angry.

Looking at the "messenger of God" who made the request in front of him, he finally asked:

"Messenger from afar, I understand your request, but everything you said has no evidence."

"I wonder if you have any ability beyond mortals to prove to me that you are indeed blessed by God and come here to convey the oracle?"

"...Of course."

After a moment of silence, feeling the malicious eyes around him, Moses gently held the scepter.

This is a holy object given to him by God. Only when he returns to his tribe and begins his mission will it gradually reveal its power.

And the more severe the suffering they endure, the stronger the power of this holy object.

Compared with before, from the moment he stepped into Memphis, or even when he just saved the two mixed-race children, Moses felt the extraordinaryness that began to emerge in this scepter.

So under the attention of everyone, the scepter turned into a black snake the moment it collided with the ground. The wild breath emanated from it, and the bloodthirsty eyes swept across everyone in the hall.

"This is one of the insignificant powers given to me by God, Your Majesty."

Although he had a premonition, Moses still tried his best to persuade: "Let my people go and keep the festival to me in the wilderness."

"..."

"Hiss..."

The hall was quiet for a while, with only the sound of snakes.

The guards were shocked by this scene, but Ramses II just nodded slightly.

At this moment, the last piece of the puzzle he guessed was complete.

"Moses, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Well, I remember you."

Nodding and smiling, Pharaoh said lightly: "My daughter's adopted son, a criminal who fled for murder more than 40 years ago."

"I even remember the reason why you killed people, because you learned that you were a Hebrew, and then saw your own people being bullied?"

"..."

"As the Pharaoh of Upper and Lower Egypt, I have received oracles from the gods more than once, and have also watched secret history that is not open to outsiders."

"I heard that just as the ancestor of the Egyptians is a god, the ancestor of the Hebrew bloodline is actually also a god. It's just that your ancestors were punished in front of the god Ra, so Isis, who was originally one of the nine pillars of gods, lost her eternity and has since Reduced to mortal. "

"... Your Majesty, you may have misunderstood..."

"The Creator of All Spirits," Ramses II said lightly, ignoring Moses' explanation: "There are also such tricks of sorcerers - yes, since the death of Her Majesty Isis, there have been no sorcerers in the world, so people will regard this extraordinary power as divine power, but I won't. "

"That is the pillar of life and magic... It seems that all this comes from her? Sure enough, I was not abandoned by the god Ra, all this is just a conspiracy created by another dead god. "

"... No, Your Majesty -"

Moses wanted to explain again. He had thought that the other party refused to believe in the existence of his god, but he didn't expect that the Pharaoh would have such a misunderstanding.

However, in front of him, Ramses II was no longer going to give him a chance to explain.

"Catch him!"

At the command, the guards who were waiting around immediately jumped up and surrounded Moses.

Hiss——

Bang——!

The big snake swung its body when it saw this, and knocked a guard out with its tail.

However, as the Pharaoh's guards, all the guards were willing to sacrifice their lives and had no intention of retreating.

"Your Majesty, this is just a misunderstanding. I really hope you can understand. But now, I have to leave."

Although there are still many things to say, seeing this scene, Moses has no choice.

He took advantage of the gap when the big snake forced the guards back and stretched out his hand to turn it back into a snake staff. Then he stretched out his hand and retreated from the palace.

"Chase——!"

The guards immediately chased after him, and the Pharaoh raised his hand and finally did not stop him.

They probably couldn't catch up, but it didn't hurt to try.

But speaking of it, Ramses thought he was going to be disappointed again before, but he didn't expect that this meeting would actually have such a big gain.

Not only the sinners, but also the sinner gods... Thinking of this, Pharaoh looked back at the scroll he had opened before.

He was still too kind... He actually provided them with materials to build the temple, even though they could obtain these things themselves.

And in this way, he could also see what abilities this god who should have died long ago still had.

"Guards."

Thinking of this, Pharaoh slowly said: "Pass on my order."

"From today on, all the sinners who build the palace will be borne by themselves."

······

After a short meeting, the escaped 'messenger of God', and Pharaoh's order will be passed on.

However, in a place that mortals could not see or hear, when Moses met Pharaoh, a roar resounded throughout the world.

The monarch of the Egyptians and Chaos, who was originally destined to be the king, met here, and the collision between the worlds accelerated.

Then, in the sky, a giant shadow was slowly taking shape.
