Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

Chapter 676 - 237: Inspiration and Understanding_2

Faintly opening his mouth, Kasim was quite satisfied with Aibu, at least when it came to acknowledging his responsibilities during work.

However, other aspects still needed guidance.

"Um... I understand," he said.

Hesitating for a moment, Aibu nodded in agreement. Kasim noticed his confusion but still chose not to explain. Find adventures at novelhall.Côm

Not long ago, the envoy he had sent to convey the divine prophecy to the Pharaoh returned again.

The envoy, fulfilling his duties, informed the Pharaoh of the Divine Descending’s beginning and end and conveyed the prophecy again—to annihilate those mortals with Sin Blood, then brought back the Pharaoh’s indifferent response.

Kasim was aware that Ramses would not come to the Holy City, but like the previous time, aside from delivering the prophecy, the envoy also brought back some news from the City of Memphis that had not been disclosed.

"Last time, the envoy told me that the entity opposing All Gods was called ’the Creator of All Spirits, Eternal and Sacred, to whom all spiritual beings in this world belong.’ Such a broad description still feels imprecise..."

"However, just by hearing it, He seems different from Apep, the enemy of the God La in the myths; He is a rational and authoritative deity previously unheard of... And this time, the envoy told me that those Hebrews have created a Fountain containing Life, which helped them survive the previous disaster..."

Silently noting this down, Kasim planned to do nothing. As a loyal follower of the God La, he was soon to spread the joy of Divine Descending to other believers.

Considering the Wisdom of La, the great God Thoth would surely be able to easily resolve troubles, allowing Egypt to return to the dominion of All Gods, and forever enjoy tranquility and peace.

Well... at the very least, it wouldn’t be like the God Shu, right?

Looking up slightly, Kasim gazed toward the Sky. However, at that moment, with the ritual ending, the cloud ripped apart by the Sun’s light returned to normal.

Compared to Memphis, Heliopolis was far from the core, so the heavy rain was still brewing, and had yet to fall.

"Father...High Priest, I still have some doubts, was what I saw before really just an illusion?"

The voice came from beside him, just as Aibu hesitated again before leaving to carry out his orders.

Although he had already received an explanation, he was still reluctant to believe it.

Since the disaster broke out, he frequently saw some strange sights. Like the Nine Pillars standing unyielding in the Sky, like invisible forces filling the heavens and earth, stirring up great winds and dark clouds.

And like seeing one of those pillars abruptly collapse, accompanied by a shrieking curse resounding in his ears.

Even Thoth’s Divine Descending seemed more vivid to him than to others.

Yet Kasim told him not to dwell on those, but rather to focus on doing what a priest of La should do. Those magnificent sights, they were all false.

"That was certainly an illusion, Aibu. Although the sorcerers of the old age claimed that mortals inherently gifted with high intuition could see things normal people cannot, you’ve always been interested in this. But how do you compare to me?" Kasim asked calmly.

"I am of course... far inferior."

He sighed—how could he possibly compare to his father? Unable to tell if it was disappointment or relief, Aibu gave a slight bow.

"Then I will attend to my duties now, High Priest."

"Huh—it’s right ahead."

Heliopolis was not as big as imagined, and in the blink of an eye, the city walls were before him.

Thoth stopped in his tracks, looking at that familiar figure, who seemed even more youthful and beautiful than a thousand years ago.

"Isis, long time no see."

Speaking flatly, Thoth’s power locked onto the opponent in front of him.

Divine Power was abundant, from the limit of her ’Ba’s storage of Divine Power, she still had at least eighty percent power, indicating that helping the Sin People did not drain her too much.

"You have betrayed La, betrayed the beings of Hemenu to embrace the Outer Gods."

"By La’s command, I will stop you from interfering with this war that concerns the world, and give you the judgment you should have received a thousand years ago."

As his voice fell, the legendary book used to create writing floated up beside Thoth.

Language, Wisdom, and Magic, these were always a perfect trifecta of authority.

And unlike La, who used reincarnation as an efficient means to accommodate new strength, Thoth was using this book to carry the power of magic, gradually integrating it into himself to become another ’Ka’ of his own.

The elements of the surrounding world were mobilized by him, helped trivially by some Divine Power brought down during Divine Descending, assembling into form.

Thoth appeared murderously inclined, yet on the opposite side, resting sideways on the rampart, facing the imminent attack, Isis merely smiled lightly.

"Come on, you’re just an incarnation with not much Divine Power. With your mastery of magic, it’s still not enough to use it to compete against Divine Power."

"You might disturb me, but it’s not possible for you to truly kill me. The outcome of this war is not something we can influence."

Stretching lazily, Isis looked at the increasingly heavy clouds and casually invited:

"Thoth, you are also considered to have split your ’Ba’ and descended to the Mortal Realm."

"Then you know, how I used the power of magic to sever connections, separating myself from my authority, and faking my own death?"

"..."

Without speaking, Thoth seemed unmoved.

The air around exploded with bursts of crackling sounds, as if he was fighting the other party with magic.

"It’s a very interesting piece of magic, a byproduct of my research on a ritual, originally meant to be used against La..."

Not knowing that she had successfully backstabbed La in the original mythology, Isis herself didn’t think her research would succeed.

Contrarily, she believed that this byproduct from her research was truly valuable.

"Come, let me tell you about it. The progress of magic lies in sharing, right?"

With a still smiling face, Isis drew a symbol in the air as if the person opposite her was not an opponent but a disciple seeking her knowledge.
