Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

Wow——

Penetrating the sky, passing through the ocean, passing through the place where Amon Ra had fought with the gods before, nothing can stop Apophis.

As the world-destroying demon god born almost at the same time as the first generation of the sun god, wandering in the void outside the mortal world, Apophis is as comfortable as returning home.

It has been restrained for too long, and swallowing the sun only slightly appeased its endless desire for destruction. So another delicious super-sized "snack" is in sight, and the Chaos Snake's eyes can't help but shine.

It looks hard to mess with, but it is the hardest one to mess with! Opening its mouth again, like a python swallowing an elephant, endless chaos and destruction entangled between its lips and teeth, the implication of the end even made Ra on the side feel a little frightened.

In other words, the sun has not been really destroyed, and the symbol of the world's destruction has not yet reached its peak. Otherwise, even Ra can't be sure how powerful Apophis will become.

"Roar——"

The roar is like a dragon and a snake, and a little golden light emerges from Apophis's belly. The sun was still struggling. From the perspective of God, it was like a black snake holding the sun in its mouth and coming out of the sea.

I don’t know how high it is, I don’t know how long it is. The primordial water is raising huge waves. The snake, which is growing bigger every moment, swallows the sky and the earth, and takes the existence in front of it into its mouth.

“Roar…”

There was a little joy in the low mouth. At this moment, Apophis felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

It seemed that the meaning of its existence was about to be fulfilled, and its eternal and boring snake life had been fulfilled.

But the next moment, a tearing feeling spread from the snake head, and the biting snake heads were forced to separate. With his eyes wide open, Apophis swallowed hard. What entered his mouth, nothing could come out!

Rip——

Like a row of broken leather, a little crack began to appear along the edge of the snake’s mouth.

The big mouth that should have been closed was stretched open little by little, and then it opened wider and wider.

It was as if the gods and demons were wrestling, but Apophis was at a clear disadvantage. Even though the destruction between the worlds is constantly increasing its power, since the eight gods are still there, the world is far from the edge of destruction.

It seemed to be just a moment, but it also seemed to last for a long time. At a certain moment, Apophis finally reached his limit.

Along the gap between the upper and lower jaws, the sound of flesh and blood tearing resounded over the primordial water.

Painful roars continued to be heard, and the huge snake body was split in two.

"Roar--!"

Swish--

The sun that was originally swallowed by the snake jumped out, with black spots dotted on it. But no one cared about the sun at this moment, and Ra's eyes were completely locked on the outer gods.

Tearing Apophis' body apart was indeed very powerful, but he knew that the reason why this world-destroying demon god had made all the suns in the past helpless was never because of simple strength or weakness, but because it was immortal.

It had no such thing as a priesthood, no concept of soul, and no "Ka" and "Ba" that all Egyptian gods had.

It was the embodiment of chaos itself, the concrete form of the destruction of all things. Ra had no way to destroy it. I wonder if the world outside the domain has such ability?

"Hiss——"

"Hiss——"

Split into two, the sun that was originally swallowed escaped to heaven, but Apophis's ferocity remained unchanged.

In other words, with the decline of the world and the increase of power, it is losing even its remaining instincts.

The more powerful the existence, the more difficult it is to maintain personality; the closer to the source of power, the more assimilated by it.

Without even a pause, the two torn bodies were automatically supplemented in the rolling black air, and then turned into two black snakes to bite.

The gap between himself and the god in front of him was clearly visible, but it only wanted to destroy. Whether it was to destroy others or to destroy itself.

Boom——!

The primordial water set off a raging wave, and it seemed that a protracted fight between gods and demons would break out.

Amon Ra watched from the sidelines. It was not a bad thing to be able to sit back and watch his two biggest enemies fight each other before the final battle.

However, the next moment, Ra's eyes suddenly shrank.

The scene in front of him was really beyond his expectations.

······

The fourth level of the spirit world, the world of all spirits.

The black and white colors rotated unsteadily, and the huge Well of Samsara stood in the center of the world.

The River of Oblivion meandered, and countless souls were absorbed from the memory, experienced judgment, and then reincarnated.

As one of the three innate rivers of the underworld with partial authority in the underworld, just as Styx constantly drew strength from the oath, it also gained something from the sinking memory.

These most precious treasures of living beings constantly nourished it, allowing it to become more and more powerful like its neighbors.

Standing next to the Well of Samsara, Autumn and the end of Eirene performed their duties as usual.

Points of divine light fell in all directions, and the dead souls immediately reincarnated according to the standard. Because the memory had been washed away long ago, there was no struggle, and the scene was quiet and peaceful.

Hualla...

...

Hualla...

...

Hualla...

"Hmm?"

Erine's eyes sharpened as her expression changed.

The water of the River of Oblivion suddenly rolled abnormally, which instantly caught her attention.

In the current world of all spirits, only the River of Oblivion was connected to the outside world, and other communication channels had long been blocked.

This strange change was likely a sign of outsiders.

Hualla——!

The river water slapped the riverbed, and countless souls floated in it.

Erine made a prompt decision and tried to connect the reincarnation with her will.

In the world of all spirits, the three goddesses who have the power to control reincarnation are not afraid of any enemy. Even if the king of the outside world comes in person, he will only be suppressed by the power of the entire spirit world, and then be easily suppressed in front of the [Well of Samsara].

Of course, Erine did not think that the king of the world would be so stupid as to sneak into the spirit world secretly.

Soon, Erine's consciousness touched the reincarnation power that spread throughout the world of all spirits, which was also the place where they were born.

Every time she came into contact with this vast and endless power, she felt intoxicated. No matter what happened to the River of Oblivion, she could -

"- What's going on? Is the reincarnation 'empty'?"

With a change of color, Erine could hardly describe the situation she felt.

[The Well of Samsara] is still there, and it is still performing its duties, but in Erine's perception, it is like an empty shell at the moment.

The power in it has long been drawn away and no one knows where it has gone, and the same is true for the River of Oblivion. The reason why it is surging is actually because its power has been drained away, but it does not have the essence of great divine power.

So the countless souls in the river brought it "pressure", making it unable to maintain stability and tranquility.

"Hu——"

Take a deep breath, panic is only a moment, but Eirene reacted quickly.

This is the spirit world, and [The Well of Samsara] is a sacred object at the level of the creation artifact. Even if all the great divine powers in the world join forces, it is impossible to silently drain its power in the spirit world.

So there is no need to ask whose will all this comes from. At this moment, she only needs to fulfill her duties.

"——Suppress!"

With a light shout, Eirene stepped on the Forgotten River.

The boiling river water was immediately suppressed by her, at least on the surface, everything returned to calm.

Being in the core of the spirit world, no one noticed the changes here. Four spiritual moons hung in the sky, shining on countless dead souls in the spirit world.

·······

Hemenu, the original water.

The changes in the spiritual world were far away, but Apophis never stopped moving.

The two snakes that split into two did not hesitate at all, and they bit each other again at the moment of splitting.

The breath of destruction circulated around, which was its innate mission.

However, the next moment, in front of Apophis, a drop of extremely refined liquid appeared out of thin air.

Out of instinct, the big snake swallowed it without hesitation. This might be a trap, but it had neither the intelligence to identify the trap nor the need to identify it.

As an immortal demon, nothing in this world can really hurt it. So with a big mouth, the liquid was swallowed by Apophis.

So in an instant, under the influence of some kind of power, Apophis seemed to have forgotten where he was and what he was going to do.

It suddenly became quiet, as if there was no threat. Only in its belly, the drop of liquid began to decrease madly.

It couldn't control Apophis for long. It wouldn't take too long before the immortal demon would wake up and respond to the world with a more violent attitude.

But for God, this is enough.

He reached out and grasped the separated twin snakes, and combined them into one again. The sacred flame ignited in His palm, burning the unconscious body of the snake.

The scales gradually showed a metallic luster, and the black breath penetrated the spine of the snake. The Hemenu world began to shake, as if indignant at the actions of the outer gods.

However, watching this scene, Ra on the side was shocked and a little puzzled. It was indeed surprising that the other party could make Apophis lose consciousness, but what was He doing now?

Refining a divine weapon? It's a bit ridiculous.

If this simple method could erase the existence of Apophis, would he still keep it until today?

Apophis is indestructible, and it is only possible to destroy it by erasing its will, otherwise any action is meaningless.

But is it possible to destroy its spirit in such a simple way?

But no matter why, after just a moment of hesitation, Ra immediately raised his hand.

The sun radiated an extremely hot light, and even the black spots still lingering on it did not diminish its majesty.

The sun was thrown mercilessly towards the direction of the Outer God like a weapon.

The golden wheel crossed the sky, and its trajectory was reflected on the water.

Ra Atum was in the center of the sun, and the [Benben Stone] was hanging above his head.

The Outer God was right in front of him. This foreign visitor who had never taken him seriously from beginning to end had now trained Apophis's snake head into a 'sword handle' and the snake body into a scabbard.

But Ra knew that as long as Apophis woke up, all this would be in vain. Even if the Outer God could restrain its body, it could not limit its will and make it work for itself.

"Take it——"

Clang——

A sword split in the middle and cut into the core of the sun.

Ra Atum looked at the black sword that passed through his chest, his face without sadness or joy.

It must be said that this thing is quite powerful. The Outer Gods seem to have added the power of "death" and "destruction" from their world here, acting as the core to control the power of Apophis.

However, Ra can also find that the will in the sword seems to be awakening under the stimulation of facing the sun.

Does it make sense? No. If the Outer Gods do all this just to have a way to kill the sun with one blow, then Ra Atum said that this is probably what he wants.

Indeed, as the enemy of the sun, Apophis's power has special damage to the sun. He was also severely injured by the attack equivalent to the combined force of the Outer God and Apophis, but in terms of the result, isn't this exactly what he wants?

With a smile on his lips, La Atum stretched out his hand and grasped the black sword that pierced his chest.

His palm was easily cut, and with the severe damage to the sun, the black sword seemed to absorb more powerful destructive power from all things.

However, in the face of all this, La Atum just took a step forward.

"I have been severely injured and it will be difficult to play a role in the subsequent battles."

"Therefore, for the great world of Hemenu, as the sun of Egypt, I choose to die with the enemy!"

It seems to be persuading himself, but it is probably more likely to be said to the world.

Facing such a great enemy, it is reasonable to pay any price to win.

So in an instant, liquid slurry overflowed from the sun and ignited blood-red flames, just like the blood and fire of the sun god.

Ra Atum himself was also ignited, and the entire sun was like an explosive that was about to be ignited.

Hermeneu's tremors became more and more intense. If there were no external enemies, the self-destructive behavior of the gods would never be allowed by Him, but now He seemed to be seeing off his offspring.

At the same time, in Amon Ra's perception, a force that was much stronger than before was surging towards him, and on the contrary, the constraints of the laws of the world on him were more than reduced.

If the sun was destroyed, the world would only have the eight gods that carried all things and some scattered divine powers, which would have a devastating impact on Him.

Fortunately, he killed the mortal before, which slowed down the offensive of the alien world. Otherwise, Amon Ra even suspected that if the alien world still fought with Hermeneu's will at the same crazy and powerful rhythm as before, then when the sun fell, the world would no longer be able to resist the attack of the alien world because of the severe damage to the internal cycle.

At that time, the barrier of the world would be penetrated and the main body would be dismembered. In a very short time on the world level, Hemenu will be swallowed by the other party, and neither he nor the Outer Gods will be able to snatch it from the mouth of the foreign land again--

"Hmm?"

Ra suddenly realized something and was shocked.

From this point of view, it seems that killing that mortal is not only beneficial to himself...

If the Outer God actually predicted his prediction, then does He know that he can actually gain strength from the destruction of the world?

If he doesn't know, it's fine, but if he knows, why should He cooperate with his behavior?

Looking up suddenly, in front of Amon Ra, he saw the expanding sun, the bursting light, and the black sword with the same power surge, which completely cut the sun and corroded it with death and doom.

Apophis's will was stimulated by this, and it was only a little time away from awakening. Once awake, it will become even stronger.

His own power also began to become complete, and the power of the yin and yang sides of [Absolute Void] began to merge in his body for the final time.

The full picture of the great divine power domain has been opened in front of Amon Ra, and this power that he could not even imagine in the past is in his hands.

Even as one of the four levels of the world, once the symbol of [Absolute Void] is complete, Amon Ra can be sure that he can get some more incredible benefits.

What about Him, what can He use to defeat me?

A shadow flashed in his heart, and Amon Ra was sure that no matter how strong the Outer Gods were, they were still far from reaching the peak of great divine power.

If He now brought back the power of the foreign world, then at most he would run away with the money. Anyway, with the rigid operating rules of the world, Amon Ra did not think he would be blocked here.

What's more, [Absolute Void] itself is the outermost barrier of Hemenu. It naturally has an advantage in fighting against the "nothingness" outside the world, allowing itself to exist for a longer period of time after leaving the world.

In this case... the level of power has an absolute advantage, and the existence of the world is not enough to bring destruction to itself. Amon Ra can't think of how he will lose.

"Maybe... this is just the aftereffect of the sun's fall."

In any case, La Atum was a part of his past.

When the sun died, he was inevitably affected. Whether it was the pain of facing death or the sadness of the world itself.

After all, it was not just him. From this moment on...the Egyptian world also lost its light forever.
