Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

"Swish——"

The huge celestial body slowly moved in the boundless darkness.

Like snowflakes under the scorching sun, the darkness quickly retreated under the light. But it was also like magma in the deep sea. No matter how much seawater was evaporated into water vapor, it seemed so insignificant compared to the vast and endless ocean itself.

Sitting on the celestial body, the eagle-like head of Ra God had disappeared. When the power in his body calmed down, he regained his human-like image again.

In the world of Hemenu, the gods in animal form tended to be more inclined to power, while the human form was more inclined to rationality. This was also the rule set since the beginning of creation.

When the power stabilized, the injury became obvious. At this moment, Ra's eyes were lowered, staring at the sword mark that almost split him in two. The power of [Death] was crisscrossed on it, and even continued to spread to the rest of his body.

It looked terrible, but in fact it was not that serious. Ra was not helpless against it.

In any case, this is the power of an alien god. When he returned to the world of Hemenu, this divine power that was incompatible with the world lost most of its power. Even if this point is not taken into account, the threat of this [death] power to Ra is not as great as imagined.

The reason is simple. Pure death has not completely entered the realm of greatness. Even if this authority is more suitable for fighting, it cannot change the gap in status. If there is no better choice, Ryan will not always use it to fight.

However, even though Ra has many ways to expel the traces left by the death power and then slowly heal his injuries, he did not react. He just silently examined his corroded body. Even if the situation continues to develop like this, he is afraid that he will experience the real "death" soon.

"I really didn't expect that our world is not the only one... Not only that, He is not even the most powerful."

Letting go of his right hand, Ra temporarily turned his eyes away from the wound and turned to look at the wings that he had torn off, which contained the original power of the alien god.

Ra didn't know that in the long years of later generations, humans had proposed the "geocentric theory" and the "heliocentric theory", thinking that the place where they were was the center of the universe - but the facts proved that they were just the smallest existence in the vast sky. However, although there is a difference between gods and humans, and there is a gap of time, at this moment, Ra did have the same feeling.

Dominating your own territory for too long will inevitably give rise to such arrogant illusions. In later film and television works, outsiders are often the ones who are eventually repelled, but Ra will not have this inexplicable self-confidence. Others can come to the door across a long distance without you knowing, which is the most obvious proof of the difference in strength.

Your own world is at a disadvantage... Fortunately, it is not the time to be defeated.

"It's a pity that there is no sun god among these foreign gods - if there is a sun in their world - if I can get the Great Japanese Source from another world, maybe I can complete my rebirth in a more perfect way."

"Now this... [Light] is just an extension of my [Sun] authority. When I analyze the foreign laws contained in it, let it go to the sun boat as a lighting tool."

"If there is really something wrong in the future... maybe it can be a way out for me."

Looking at the pair of eagle wings in his palm, God Ra made a decision.

Just like there is no god of fire in the world of Hemenu, there is no god of light here. These scattered divine powers are all attributed to the sun, and together they constitute the great power of the sun gods of all generations that surpasses all gods.

This is also the reason why Ra finally chose a foreign god of light to start with, because they do have overlapping powers - of course, among those foreign gods, there are actually more than one god with authority similar to the sun, and he finally chose the one in front of him, mainly because the other party has the true appearance of an eagle.

Apollo, the god of light, probably didn't even know that one of the reasons why he was chosen by Ra as a target was because he turned into a black eagle during the Typhon disaster. Otherwise, it would be unknown to Ra who he would eventually attack.

"Pop--"

With a sound like a bubble bursting, the sun finally passed through the endless darkness.

The four-layer structure of the Hemenu world, now presented to Ra is [Endless Space] and [Original Water]. The overlapping "water" of reality and illusion spread across the void, and the world was created from this. The legendary creator god of Hemenu, the previous sun god Atum, was born from the primordial water-of course, Ra was sure that the so-called creator god was just Atum's boasting.

Just like he is now praised by the world as the omnipotent creator, but Ra knows very well whether he has this power.

"... Thoth, my mind, you are finally here."

The sun walked on the water and slowly fell to its original position. At a certain moment, Ra suddenly turned around and looked at a stream of light approaching quickly in the distance.

Like Ra who showed the animal head when he was going all out before, the newcomer has a human body but a crested ibis head.

His curved mouth is like a crescent moon, but he has long black hair. In his palm, he also holds a pottery tablet and an ink pen.

This is the symbol of Egyptian wisdom, the incarnation of the moon, the recorder of Heliopolis, and one of Ra's most trusted confidants.

Thoth is not a respected nine-pillar god, but the glory he actually enjoys is not inferior to those of the main gods - especially since Isis was deprived of power by the god Ra and died like a mortal, he is likely to inherit the other party's magic, The part of knowledge is supplemented to become the new nine pillars of gods.

"Supreme God Ra, I don't have the supreme power like you to easily penetrate the world barrier. Even just coming to this primordial water that carries all things is already a very difficult thing."

The flow was smooth, and the endless flames of the sun made way for Thoth.

Approaching along the road, the god of wisdom lowered his hands slightly to show his respect to the god Ra.

"Supreme power... You see, I don't have any supreme power."

He spread his hands and pulled Thoth to reveal his terrible injuries. However, opposite him, the God of Wisdom did not show any contempt or surprise.

"From the moment you chose to ride the sun away and asked me to wait here, I knew you were going to face a difficult battle." Toth said with a smile, and a light and elegant sound came from under the slightly curved beak. : "I don't know what you are going to face, but since you have been prepared... I guess everything is still under your control."

Ra nodded and looked back at the darkness behind him.

Under control... maybe, at least for now.

"Thoth, tell me, if I 'die', what will happen to Heliopolis and what will happen to the gods?"

"Some of them will fight for the legacy you left behind, trying to become the new sun. And some gods will still be loyal to you. They will believe that even if the sun sets, it will eventually rise again."

Still smiling, Toth calmly explained his opinion. And La listened quietly, and finally nodded again.

"In this case...then Thoth, I'm going to die." After a pause, Ra looked at the vast primordial water: "My power as [the sun] will remain on the sun, but no one can touch it. Because I He was not killed by anyone, so no one can take away this power.”

"In the future, there will be a new god who will take over my legacy and become the new sun. When the time comes, remember to assist him in continuing to rule the world."

"Then what is his name?" Thoth's expression remained unchanged: "I will become his servant as soon as I learn of his existence and help the new sun return to his original position."

"Amon, God Amon, this is his name. In the future, he will inherit my power and become Amon Ra Atum. This is an unchangeable destiny."

"Okay," Weiwei waved her hand to indicate that Thoth could leave: "Go back to Heliopolis, and then go witness my sunset. Thoth, you won't let me down, right?"

"…Certainly, O supreme Ra, your will will be carried out."

With a slight bow, just like when he came, Thoth turned into a stream of light and disappeared, and on the vast primordial water, only La was left again.

The sun is still moving slowly. Such a huge celestial body is destined to be unable to be as flexible as a god. Seeing Thoth's figure disappear, La silently stared at it for a while, then pressed his right hand on his chest.

The next moment, an illusory and unpredictable power was pulled out of his chest. It looks different from the power of the sun. If you observe carefully, you will even find that it has some similar characteristics to the void outside the previous world.

In the battle with the foreign gods just now, the world of Hermione naturally stood on the side of its own people. He provided Ra with geographical advantages, that is, the partial blessing of the outermost layer of the world, the "Absolute Void". But looking now, although the battle is over, La still secretly left behind some of this extremely special power.

"Amon."

After whispering the name, Ra Shen knew that Thoth should understand what he meant. After all, this name is so special and so famous.

At the beginning of the creation of the world of Hermione, the world was divided into four layers: [Absolute Void], [Endless Darkness], [Endless Space] and [Primordial Water]. In those years when the gods were not yet born, that It is because of this differentiation that the great and indescribable will of the world gave birth to an incomplete personality in a short period of time.

The more powerful the power, the more difficult it is to manifest in the form of personality. The world of Hermione can briefly reveal the personality, but in fact it is a manifestation of His weakness. But this has nothing to do with Ra. He only knows that in those early years, the world instinctively tried to possess wisdom, so He gave birth to two personality manifestations in the form of a man and a woman in the four major structures. There are eight of them in total, the male god is a human being with a frog head, and the goddess is a human body with a snake head.

Of course, the act of personifying the world failed in the end. Although the personifications collectively called the "Eight Souls" and "Hermainu" had their own names, they failed to possess wisdom in the end. Even this incomplete The image also collapsed with the subsequent growth of world power. But although the result was a failure, their short existence actually brought some changes to the world.

For example, the original sun god Atum, the predecessor who was swallowed by Ra, was conceived by one of the incarnations of the world, the male symbol 'Nun' of [Primordial Water], and the power that Ra has now gained can also be It is believed to be given by 'Amon', the male symbol of [Absolute Space].

Of course, the real god Amun does not actually exist. He is just a failed creation of the world and a non-existent personality - at least before today.

As for the future... Ra looked at the power that legally belonged to 'Amon' in front of him and was given to him by the world before, and he finally made up his mind.

The gods of Hemenu would die, and even die of old age, even he was no exception. As the only god above, Ra had been thinking about how to solve the problem.

Fortunately, after a long exploration, he did find a way to change this result, because Hemenu's [Sun] was different from Chaos, and it itself had the power of [rebirth] and [rebirth].

Rebirth in some way when he was about to grow old, and then let the new self devour the old self just like he devoured Atum, so as to avoid aging and death, this was Ra's plan.

He had even made arrangements a long time ago. Thebes, a place far away from Heliopolis and outside the traditional system of Upper and Lower Egypt, was the place he prepared for his new self. The new self would be the patron saint born in this city-state, and then replace the old sun silently. The gods may not have reacted yet, and a replacement of the godhood has been completed.

But that was in the past. Now, Ra feels that he has a better choice.

If he can get the power of the foreign sun god, he actually wants to evolve a new self based on the power of another sun, and finally complete the initial integration of the concept of the "sun" of the two worlds through the ability of the gods of Hemenu to devour each other. Although this cannot be done now, the existence of [Absolute Void] will not be much worse.

The new god Amon will evolve based on this power, and then inherit the name of one of the eight gods. As the supreme of Hemenu, Ra would no longer have the idea of ​​devouring other gods, because those gods that are far inferior to [the sun] will not only not enhance his power, but will even drag him down in turn. But this does not exist in front of the world itself. The power of the eight gods... even if it is just a tiny bit, it will only enhance him instead of weakening him.

"That's why I said that the next time we meet, we will have to decide life and death, Outer God."

"It's just... you die and I live."

Fingers clenched, Ra did not rush to start reincarnation.

The sun's 'death' requires a grand ceremony... and he also wants to see what choice the Egyptian gods living in Heliopolis will make when he 'dies'?

Since he is about to face foreign enemies, no matter how he thinks, he needs some cannon fodder.

······

The soul is floating, passing through layer after layer of portals.

Wandering in the primordial water, Pallas's soul is gradually completed.

Passing through the outer layer of the world, it began to drift towards the basin of the Nile River. There are lives with similar blood to him. Although he has not really 'come back to life', he instinctively begins to approach there.

"Tsk, I really waited for it."

The white and slender arm stretched out from the side and gently pulled the soul's arm. Under the verdant skirt, the girl who seemed to be loved by all things had a smile on her lips, looking at the spirit whose exotic breath had not yet completely dissipated.

Like Io before, she was another outsider...but this one seemed to be sent in by the existence of foreign lands.

"Reincarnate ten times in the tribe with foreign blood, so as to eliminate the abnormal breath and then completely integrate into this world? This started from Io back then. It's really a long plan."

Isis smiled with curved eyebrows.

Since the sun left not long ago, she secretly left the shelter she built with magic and came to the place where the Hebrews lived the most.

The gods were all paying attention to the departure of the sun, and the all-seeing god Ra was no longer there, so no one had the ability to find her.

So silently, Isis discovered the foreign visitor for the second time, and twice...she was the only one who found it.
