Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

"Go in."

"It seems that these dead spirits still can't do anything to them, so you should also put away your thoughts."

"If there is a chance, do you think I am willing to go this far?"

Outside the Sun City, Ramses II made his final instructions.

Behind him, the Benben Stone, which looked like a small pyramid, was suspended in the center of the crowd.

It received the light from the sky, scattered warm sunlight, and also dispelled the distracting thoughts in the hearts of the followers.

In fact, in the hearts of these Egyptian dignitaries, they did not have no objection to the Pharaoh's decision.

After all, the Egyptians' enslavement of the Hebrews had lasted for thousands of years. Now someone suddenly told them that although the oracle wanted to kill them all, he advocated letting those criminals go. For a time, even those who have always been loyal to Ramses could not help but have doubts in their hearts.

However, all speculations were stopped in front of the Benben Stone. It was rumored that at the beginning of the Egyptian dynasty, the objects transformed from Mars falling from the sky had always stood on the oldest pyramid, and even the pharaohs of all generations could not control it.

They could only build similar creations on the top of their own pyramids, turning them into "capstones" and building them in the form of sundials.

The four-sided form represents the four directions, and the spire is the symbol of the sundial. It is placed on the top of the pyramid, representing the first land to float up from the primordial water. The outer circle represents time, and the central cross represents space, which is actually the embodiment of "time and space order".

Finally, they engraved their most desired inscription on it - "Build a ladder to the gods for him so that he can go from the earth to the sky."

This is the door to the sky in the eyes of the Egyptians, the ladder to the gods, and no one has ever been able to manipulate it, only Ramses did it.

So at this moment when the god Ra has not appeared for a long time, no one dares to question his ideas.

"Let's go, I have expelled him three times, and now it's my turn to see him."

"The City of the Sun... God will watch all this."

Stride forward, the ocean of the dead separated from in front of Ramses.

No matter what they were thinking, everyone followed the pharaoh at this moment.

Since Benbenshi chose Ramses, there must be a reason.

Even the most devout believers would not question his authority at this time.

…

Crackling…

The friction of bones and the collision of flesh and blood sounded from time to time. Except for a few people, the people accompanying them were inevitably a little frightened.

The rotten flesh and blood and the fishy smell spread out. If there was no light from Benbenshi, I am afraid that many of the people in the group would die of shock or be directly infected with the plague.

Fortunately, there is no if in reality. All the way inside, the sound of weapons clashing and shouting came one after another. In the center of the city, the pyramid-like temple is in sight.

With that place as the center, thousands of meters are crowded with people. Some are holding children and some are leaning on crutches, but most of them are young people.

After all, under this endless natural disaster, only the strong and strong young people have a better chance of survival.

However, in that crowd, the most eye-catching one is the old man standing in the center.

He touched the ground with the tip of the snake staff, and the divine light circulated around.

The undead that were blocked by the guards were actually just the fish that slipped through the net. Countless dead people held this small city.

Under the earth, the skeletons of wild animals crawled in the soil; in the sky, the bone birds let out a shrill howl. But they were all blocked by that layer of divine light, and even in the eyes of the Pharaoh, he could see more at this moment.

An illusory scroll stretched in the sky, and the power it exuded constantly guided the arrival of the undead. And the real enemy facing the old man holding the scepter was it. If there was no scroll, I am afraid that the undead in the whole city would be easily swept away by him.

This is the power of God, and it is also the reason why Ramses came.

At the beginning, Moses' power was not so strong, so he thought there was still a chance to fight him. But now, unless the Egyptian gods descended here directly, he could not think of the possibility of fighting.

"And this is meaningless. In the whole world, only the Nile River Basin can support the survival of a civilization from ancient times to the present. Those oases in the desert can only allow tribes to exist, and cannot give birth to a civilization comparable to Egypt."

"If they can't find a better place, I don't need to do anything. They will die on their own; and if they can still find a place to live outside of here, it proves that their gods are still performing miracles."

"And the god Ra... did not stop it."

Seeing this miraculous scene with his own eyes, Ramses reaffirmed his thoughts.

He strode forward and walked in the direction of Moses.

The living among the dead was so conspicuous that he didn't need to do anything. When the group really approached the circle guarded by the Hebrews, they were soon discovered.

"Who, stop!"

With a sharp shout, the guard in charge of guarding this area immediately shouted to stop, but the next moment, he showed an incredible look.

"Are you Pharaoh?"

"I am Ramses, now, get out of the way."

Pharaoh glanced at the guard with tattered armor and recognized that it was the equipment worn by the Egyptian soldiers.

But he didn't say much at this time, because standing here, he could already feel the center of the crowd, the gaze of Moses.

"As agreed, you built the City of the Sun. Now, it's time for me to meet your prophet."

For some reason, Ramses felt that he was a little excited at the moment and his body was in better shape than usual.

At his current age, this somewhat surprised him. Maybe this was the power of Ben Ben Stone.

Continuing to move forward, Pharaoh did not think that the people in front of him dared to stop him, and this was also the case.

I hope this can end as soon as possible and allow Egypt to return to its former peace.

…

In front of the new temple built for the god Ra in the center of Sun City, the spirit that had been tense all night gradually relaxed.

Except for the initial disturbance, the commotion in the city quickly subsided. The turmoil on the earth was severe at first, but then subsided. Although the number of undead is large enough, it is not regarded as a threat by Moses.

The illusory picture scroll in the sky is about to dissipate. In the face of the power given by God, the deceased cannot really break through his protection.

As long as the last power of the scroll is exhausted, victory will eventually fall to his side.

Disasters came one after another, but they failed to destroy them in the end. At this moment, Moses was even a little happy. Because while fighting against the projection of the artifact, he actually saw the Pharaoh in the distance who he had met more than once.

There is no army, no killing intent, and the other party obviously does not come with malicious intent.

Sure enough, his persistence was correct, and Aaron's judgment was still too subjective. His Majesty Ramesses II, who ruled Upper and Lower Egypt, did not intend to break the treaty. He was really willing to allow the Hebrews to leave after the City of the Sun was built, as he had promised.

This was the last darkness before dawn, and his goal in coming to Memphis could finally be accomplished.

"..."

"Your Majesty, you are welcome. But please forgive me for being rude. As you can see, I still need to face this sudden disaster."

A few moments later, right in front of the temple, Moses held the scepter in his hand, maintaining the power to protect the city.

When Pharaoh and his entourage came here, the crowd of onlookers blocked the water around them.

Moses even caught sight of Aaron who had arrived in a hurry. He was looking at the visitor with vigilance.

But Moses felt that he didn't need to worry so much.

"It doesn't matter, Moses, you have proven your ability to me."

"You and your people built the Sun City and offered this sacrifice to the god Ra. Your original sin may not be eliminated, but according to our agreement, I still came here."

There was still a hint of arrogance in his tone, but no one present took it to heart.

Thousands of years of tradition told them this was how the Pharaoh should speak. Even when the goddess of life was still there, there were many sorcerers in the world who had mastered various abilities, but they were still respectful in front of the Pharaoh, and no one dared to be disrespectful.

This is an inherent mindset that still exists today. So after hearing Ramesses' words, Moses finally showed a hint of joy.

"Then, Your Majesty, you mean that, as agreed, you will no longer stop us from leaving Egypt?"

“Yes, as I said, you will be expelled from Egypt.”

Speaking calmly, Ramses said: "This will become a forbidden area for the Hebrews. If you leave, you will not be allowed to come back."

"In the name of Pharaoh, I have fulfilled my promise and this ends the relationship between the Egyptians and the Hebrews."

Wow——

As soon as the words fell, the crowd suddenly became noisy.

The Egyptian Pharaoh has accumulated power for thousands of years. Even today, many Hebrews still fear this legendary god on earth.

But now, when Ramses personally promised them to leave, does that prove that they have finally achieved true liberation and no longer have to be slaves?

"Your Majesty, your character is as noble as the sun."

There is nothing better than praising loudly, and the other party is willing to fulfill the agreement.

The joy in Moses' heart could not be concealed, but in front of him, Pharaoh stretched out his hand, and the accompanying ministers handed a piece of leather paper to his hand.

He stepped forward slowly and unfolded the paper. There were densely written words on it.

"Since you have no objection, then sign this document. In the name of the ruler of Lower and Lower Egypt, I will release and expel you and never come back."

Qiang——

Pulling out his sword and cutting his finger with it, the Pharaoh left a fingerprint on it.

And Moses did not hesitate when he saw this, and he also left his mark on it.

Seeing this scene, cheers rang out from all directions, and Pharaoh's originally serious face seemed to become much gentler.

“So, Moses, I have fulfilled my promise to the Hebrews, haven’t I.”

"Yes, Your Majesty, your character of honoring your words is so noble."

Still holding the staff with one hand, Moses said with a smile.

"So, according to the agreement, the Hebrews should also leave Egypt, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, my people and I will never disturb the peace of you and your dynasty again."

"That's good."

Smiling and nodding, the pharaoh put the deed aside.

"Now, it's time for me to fulfill my duties as Pharaoh."

"Duty?"

There was some confusion. In Moses' impression, Pharaoh was the king of Egypt. He ruled the world, judged right and wrong, and was also the enforcer of the law.

However, the Hebrews had been building cities here before and there was no opportunity for them to break the law. They had been slaves before, but now they were freed and expelled, and there was no relationship between domination and being ruled.

So what are the responsibilities that the other party mentioned...

Puff——!

The sharp sword pierced through the chest, splashing blood.

The cheers in the field stopped abruptly, and no one reacted to what happened.

In the air, the light emitted by the Benben Stone shone on the snake staff, and this sacred object that was originally enough to call the wind and rain was dead silent. Only 'Ramses' seemed to be unaffected, and his smile was still gentle.

"Look, this is it, Moses."

"As a pharaoh, my duty is to uphold the laws of Egypt and punish sinful mortals."

"And according to Egyptian law, the murderer dies - I wonder if you still remember why you left Egypt more than 40 years ago?"

In the city, the divine light surrounding the Hebrew residential area began to dissipate, and those who were crushed and destroyed in an instant were still moving forward tirelessly, but this time, there was no obstacle in front of them.

In the sky, the sun's light shone brighter and brighter, as if to prove Pharaoh's words to clean up all the sins in the world.

Life is passing away. At this moment, in Moses' eyes, the appearance of the person in front of him began to blur.

He felt that the person in front of him was not a person, but a sun, the god with a golden mask and an eagle's head and human body enshrined in the Temple of the Sun behind him.

"I've always been curious about what's special about you, Moses."

"The power of the other world seems to want to protect you, the foreign gods are taking care of you, and you are the only one who has been given power by Him."

"He put the Hebrews on the gambling table while turning a blind eye to you. So what exactly does He want?"

"I don't know."

The voice was calm, and 'Ramses' looked up at the sky, and there was nothing in the vast sky except the sun.

"But I think I'll know soon."

Plop --

Drawing out the sword and looking at Moses lying on the ground, 'Ramses' waited silently. What will happen to him next?

And most importantly, if he dies, what choice will He make as the foreign god who gave him divine grace...

······

On the earth, when 'Ramses' drew out the long sword.

On the source sea, beside the sun god Ra, there are only two remaining pillar gods.

Nephthys, who was about to die, and Thoth, who has left an incarnation in the mortal world.

Thoth is not clear about the affairs of the mortal world, because at this moment, his energy is still on another side.

The light of authority flashes on his body from time to time, and no one knows what he is doing.
