The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse
Chapter 28 The Power of Sekhmet
In the funeral customs of the ancient Egyptians, the body is the lodging place of the soul, and death is only the process of the soul leaving the body. When the soul returns to the body, the dead will be resurrected.
Out of this belief, the body of the dead will still be needed and used again by the dead, so the ancient Egyptians invented mummification, a technology to properly preserve the body of the dead, and made the body of the dead into a mummy for a long time to be preserved for the next life. .
And what guides the soul of the dead to find its own body and return to the body is the symbol of the soul of the dead—the heart.
This has also led to the fact that in ancient Egyptian funeral customs, the heart must never leave the body.
Because once the heart is taken out of the body, the soul cannot return to the body, and becomes a lonely ghost, and there will be no peace forever.
But there is one exception.
In ancient Egypt, there was no such thing as a heaven or a kingdom of gods. After death, the souls of all people would be led to the underworld by Anubis, the god of death, to be judged by Osiris, the god of the underworld.
Those who pass the judge can enter Yalu to gain eternal life, and the souls of those who fail to pass the judge will be eaten.
Therefore, there was no such thing as belief in a certain god in ancient Egypt, and salvation could be obtained after death.
However, for the gods, it is not impossible to shelter the souls of one or two believers, but it is not good for the gods.
Just like a person wouldn't care about an ant, why should the gods care about a mortal?
Of course, just as some people are obsessed with keeping pets, and even regard pets as "masters", some human beings who can please the gods can also obtain the protection of gods.
And some of these people are called God's Chosen, and some are called Familiars. Although there are different opinions, they all have one characteristic in common, they are all chosen by the gods.
"In ancient Egypt, Sekhmet would choose his patrons from powerful warriors and give them great power, and these warriors would sacrifice the enemies they killed to Sekhmet, so that she Drink blood in exchange for more divine grace." Pointing to the paintings and texts on the ancient scroll, the curator explained to Chen Mo and Adebe: "Occasionally, there will be powerful women who win the favor of Sekhmet. , they will receive more powerful gifts, one of which is that their bodies will become like lions, and they will have the strength comparable to that of an adult lion."
"The ones we met before..." Hearing what the curator said, the expression on Chen Mo's face suddenly changed, and his eyes narrowed.
If it was just a high priest, Chen Mo would certainly not be afraid, but if there were gods involved, it would not be something he could handle now.
"Those should be just instant cannon fodder catalyzed by spells. The real Sekhmet lion warriors need to hunt and kill a male lion by themselves and sacrifice in front of Sekhmet's altar to obtain Sekhmet. The power bestowed is a powerful warrior transformed by divine power, not the inferior cannon fodder we encountered before." Facing Chen Mo's guess, the curator shook his head and denied Chen Mo's guess.
Hearing what the curator said, Chen Mo felt relieved, but the fear in his heart grew stronger.
It's just that the inferior imitations transformed by spells have such strong combat effectiveness. If they are real Sekhmet fighters, how strong should they be?
With awe and fear of the gods, Chen Mo also coveted the power of the gods.
But right now, he is obviously not qualified to covet these things, let alone think about Sekhmet, the famous god of war in Egyptian mythology.
For Chen Mo, it is more serious to solve the threat posed by Imerton first.
"These Sekhmet warriors have been dedicated to the gods both physically, mentally and souls. When they were alive, they fought to please the gods. After death, their souls returned to the realm of the gods and continued to fight for the gods.
And their bodies also belong to the gods, and they are the media for the arrival of the lion warriors under Sekhmet who have entered her divine domain and received the baptism of divine power. Among them, the mummies of the best fighters, and even Sekhmet himself descended shell used. "The curator told an amazing fact, and emphasized: "If Ansuna is a warrior of Sekhmet, if she is a warrior chosen by God, then her body is likely to be that of Sekhmet. Special Advent Containers!
This is why Imerton wanted to steal the Black Book of the Dead and had to resurrect Ansuna in Hamna Tower, because only here could he use the power of Anubis, the god of death, to revive Ansuna's body. The soul summoned back and was able to return to Ansuna's own body.
Otherwise, even if Imerton is the high priest and holds the Black Book of the Dead in his hands, he cannot summon Ansuna's soul back from the hands of God Sekhmet if he is resurrected in other places! "
"If that's the case, then why didn't Imerton come to Hamna Tower? I don't think he gave up on resurrecting Ansuna." Adbe, who was listening to the discussion between Chen Mo and the curator, suddenly frowned and asked road.
This problem also troubled the curator and Chen Mo. In fact, according to the original movie plot, after Imerton obtained the Black Book of the Dead and Evelyn, the sacrifice he chose, he rushed back to Hamna Tower. Relinquished control of Cairo, preoccupied only with resurrecting Ansuna.
But now he didn't rush back to Hamna Tower in a hurry, but stayed in Cairo, with a tendency to occupy the land as king.
This is really not in line with Imerton's behavior style, unless there are some changes that they don't know about.
"Curator, what do Imerton need to revive Ansuna?" Chen Mo stroked his thoughts, and decided to deduce it from the beginning to see if there was anything he missed: "Except for the corpse and the internal organs Funeral urn, are there any other necessities?"
Hearing Chen Mo's question, the curator also fell into deep thought, and after thinking for a while, he answered, "It's hard for me to answer you, because different resurrection ceremonies require different things, but what you said Both the corpse and the burial urn were indeed necessary.
In addition, as Ansuna, if Imerton wants to resurrect her in other places, he needs a Sekhmet altar, but if he chooses to be in Hamna Tower, it will be much simpler, Ham The underground of Nata is the most suitable place for the resurrection ceremony in all of Egypt. The underground springs lead directly to the River Styx, which can easily bring the souls of the dead back from the underworld. "
"Really? Is Ansuna's body buried in Hamna Tower? If so, I think we should ask Miss Evelyn to help find this body." Chen Mo didn't know that Yimo Dun wanted to do something, but he expected to get Ansuna's body, so Imerton had to come to grab the body no matter what plan he had.
