Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

In the material world, the lighter something is, the less force is required to move it.

In the mysterious world, the more powerful something is, the greater the force that wants to drive it to change, even time.

Sitting on the primordial water, the power of [Endless Space] and [Seven Layers of Spiritual Realm] hovered around the two chess players. Under this huge volume, even time and space were bent.

A month on earth is but a moment in the sky.

It seemed as if the order from the god Lalingshu to create natural disasters was just a moment ago. In front of him, the hand of the god had just reached out from outside the world.

However, at this moment, Ra's face had become extremely ugly. He cast his eyes towards the world, towards the hill outside Memphis.

Separated by the Origin Sea and the human world, the other nine gods' perception of everything on earth became much more blurred.

But they didn't know what was happening. In front of Ra, the aura of divine power rising from the human world was so familiar and clear.

Thousands of years ago, after that sudden dream occurred, Ra, who had received a warning from the world, issued an order.

This was the first time he executed a god, and the only true god he had killed since he devoured the previous sun god Atum.

From that day on, no new life was born in the world for three years, and sorcerers disappeared from the earth, but Ra did not regret it.

Nipping the danger in the bud is a choice that everyone would make. He just felt a little regretful about it because La always felt that Isis was the most talented and thoughtful among the nine pillars.

Perhaps magic and life can meet in her hands, blooming with more brilliant brilliance, and even breaking the restrictions of the gods, and having power close to his...

Then on that day, the world of Hermeneu will be more perfect under the rule of Ra, and there will finally be something in the world that can make him more powerful.

After all, although the Egyptian gods could devour each other's power, if the strong devoured the weak, it would only reduce his divine power in turn. So after devouring Atum, Ra never did anything similar again.

But now, what did he see?

"Isis, how dare you betray me and the world?!"

"Even now, you have surrendered to the Outer Gods!"

He spoke each word with some difficulty, finding it hard to believe.

Compared to the invasion from outside, he could not accept that someone dared to decide to betray him so long ago.

He admitted that he had had some bad thoughts, but Korah had never expressed them and had never put them into action.

As a result, before he did anything, Isis chose to betray him. After all, since she was still alive, it meant that the one who died was just a scapegoat.

This undoubtedly proves that long before Ra accepted the world's warning and decided to take action against Isis, she had already prepared to fake her own death and escape.

But right under his nose, La was unaware of it.

“…Isis, you’ve already come into contact with those foreign bloodlines!”

"traitor!"

The angry roar echoed in the void, causing ripples in the surrounding space. However, on the empty and endless water surface, there was no third person who could hear Ra's roar.

Only from a great distance away, on earth, Isis raised her head as if she had sensed something.

She didn't hear any sound, but at this moment, she smiled as if she had expected it.

Not long ago, when she finally decided to intervene in this game, Isis was ready to be discovered.

The aura of her divine power was unlikely to be hidden from the Lord of the Sun, and perhaps her former colleagues were now angrily scolding her in the sky, resenting her as a traitor. But to be honest, Isis didn't think she had done anything wrong.

The result has proved that my choice was the right one. When Ra found that someone had unstable factors, his first reaction was to eliminate them. At that time, even if I reported Io's existence to Ra, I was not sure that I could sever the fate connection between the two.

At that time, I'm afraid I will eventually die. But as a god, Isis doesn't want to sacrifice herself for the sake of the world and Ra.

What is the overall situation? Whoever survives to the end and whoever is the strongest is the overall situation. Isis knows this very well.

This was the case with the struggle between Ra and the former sun god Atum. When the power of the sun was transferred, the underground chaos serpent Apophis was no longer restrained, and it caused great harm to the world.

But did Ra give up at that time? Of course not, and the same goes for Isis. If she couldn't even figure this out, she would have become a dish, the first victim on the front line of the battle between the two worlds.

······

"traitor!"

"It's Isis, she's alive!"

One body is divided into two parts, and they are in two places at the same time. Layuan, who bears the names of "Atum" and "Amon", is on the primordial water, but his solar part is on the same level as the Ennead.

At one end of the chessboard, sitting on the sun sphere, compared to the self that carried 'Ba', Ra, who was completely composed of 'Ka', where the authority of the sun resided, was equally angry, but his emotions were not as drastic.

His expression darkened, and La felt the gazes coming at him because of his reaction.

The existence of Isis disrupted his steps, and his previous attempts might not be able to continue.

Originally, Ra planned to use the Ennead Gods as pawns, gradually testing the methods of the foreign gods, weakening the power of the Hebrews at the same time, and finally creating the sunfall himself, sparing no cost to accomplish his goal in one fell swoop.

Even if that meant he would die again, it was an acceptable price. The last time he came back from the dead, Ra successfully integrated Amon's power, and as long as he could achieve the final victory, Ra would not mind doing it again, and then assimilate the remains of the Outer God into another part of himself.

But now the plan has gone wrong, Isis is still on earth. She is on the side of the Outer Gods, with her help, the strategy of adding fuel to the fire is just a slow suicide.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Isn't Isis already dead? Why are you suddenly mentioning her?"

With a forced smile, he pulled his left side, and the panic in Shu's heart became more and more intense.

Traitor of Isis, what does this mean... In fact, he already had a guess in his mind, but Ke Shu still looked up at the figure with an eagle head and a human body on the celestial sphere, trying to seek comfort.

Even if it was really as he thought, it should have nothing to do with him... However, La did not look at him, but a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

"Nut, Set, and Tefnut, you will all work together to bring down heavy rain and sandstorms, and drive all life in the sky, and make the morning star fall to the earth."

"Thoth, you have inherited Isis's position, so it is up to you to deal with her interference. Try to reduce the chances of her interfering, and then work together to create as many deaths as possible to prepare for the next step. Don't worry, without Isis, the Outer Gods will have to protect those mortals from foreign lands themselves..."

"—Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Interrupting La's words, Shu asked loudly, regardless of his previous prestige: "You mean Isis is still alive? But you said that without her, the Outer Gods can only protect those mortals themselves--"

"So what will He do now? Will He target Pharaoh's dynasty on earth?"

"..."

There was a silence, no answer, and La didn't know what to say. But fortunately, he soon didn't need to say anything.

Because just above the world, on the surface of the primordial water, a huge shadow has enveloped the chessboard.

……

The world is shaking and the laws are ringing.

When God's hand fell from the void, the source sea seemed to have foreseen something and couldn't help but stir up a huge wave.

According to the rules of this chess game, the winner will obtain the authority of the loser. However, the bets should be exchanged after the game ends. Even if Shu loses at the beginning, his divine authority should be temporarily placed on the opponent's table as a chip, waiting for the moment to win it back.

However, God did not want to wait until that day. As an alien being, His intervention in the human world could never be comparable to that of the local gods of Hermeneus.

So He gave up the opportunity to interfere in the human world, and instead kept it in His hands to redeem in advance the harvest that should have belonged to Him.

wow——

The primordial waters that enveloped the world parted before Him, and a shadow fell over the world.

Among the nine pillars hanging in the sky above Egypt, God’s hand holds the one filled with wind.

"No!"

"La, you said we wouldn't die, what's going on?!"

Finally realizing his fate, and as if no longer harboring any hope, Shu screamed madly.

In the impression of the Egyptian gods, he has always been an elegant and calm god, often accompanying Ra and conveying his orders.

However, at this moment, he seemed no different from the lowest mortals. Just like a prisoner about to die, struggling with all his might, but to no avail.

"Save me, La, save me, you said--"

"——Wait, I am willing to surrender, I am willing to be loyal to you, let me go, let me go!"

click-

There was a slight sound, which was the breaking of the divine pillar and the collapse of the law.

Under the rules established by the two world forces, nothing can be changed.

The origin of wind and atmosphere was extracted and fell into the palm of God.

In an instant, the foundation of the entire Hemenu world trembled slightly, as if a wall was pulled out of a complete house.

Although it still stands, it no longer seems as stable as it used to be.

"what--"

The 'ka' and 'ba' of Shu were extracted, and the 'spiritual' parts were blended together by the supreme authority.

In this process, Hermeneul's scattered and chaotic spiritual essence was analyzed, reorganized, sublimated, and destroyed.

It was like being cut into pieces, the pain reaching his consciousness made him feel that death was a luxury. But everything was obviously not subject to his will, and this kind of erosion continued.

Until a certain moment, his consciousness was on the verge of collapse, and the pain gradually disappeared. Shu knew that his life was coming to an end...

Opening the "eyes" of consciousness, he seemed to see a vast world with seven layers of structure opening up before him. Its origin was cheering, leaping for joy, welcoming the arrival of nutrients, and he was that nutrient.

"…Is this, a foreign land…"

At the end of his life, looking at the source of the gods' fear, Shu's consciousness shook for the last time. He looked back at where he came from, but there was only emptiness.

"La, I curse you!"

"You will be like me. You will watch yourself die and become food for the Outer Gods..."

The sound gradually became weaker and finally disappeared.

From this moment on, Shu's consciousness completely dissipated.

……

Spiritual world, fifth level.

Compared with thousands of years ago, this once desolate place has changed dramatically.

The fifth spiritual world is divided into inner and outer parts. On the outer side, there are spaces as small as stars but as vast as continents dotted on it.

Faith and souls from the outside world continuously flow in here, becoming the cornerstone for the growth of these countries.

And between these star points, several huge interfaces composed of emotions are like stars, attracting these scattered stardust.

The Seven Hills Paradise, which gathers all the good emotions and beliefs, is the largest one among them. Perhaps because it was born the earliest, its existence is also widely known in the world.

The Celestials come and go here, and these former golden humans who have transformed into life travel back and forth between many countries. It can even be seen that as time passes, some other life forms begin to be born inside the interface.

Just like the characteristics of this interface itself, they are naturally endowed with positive emotions, love kindness and hate evil.

"Seven Hills Paradise... How could such a place exist in this world?"

In a tiny country with flickering lights, a giant bear stood on the edge and looked into the void in the distance.

As a person who had just accumulated enough faith and strength to come to this mysterious realm where the legendary kingdom of the god of faith is located, the giant bear was originally very much looking forward to it. However, as soon as he came in, he landed on the edge of the [Seven Hills Paradise].

Then an inexplicable war broke out. The native creatures accused him of gaining power through blood sacrifice, and then fought against him - this reason was so funny, I am a beast and I don't eat blood, so what do you want me to eat?

Besides, without the blood sacrifice, how could I get the strength to break free from the constraints of the totem spirit and come here?

It was incomprehensible, the two sides' thinking was simply not on the same line. Fortunately, the native life forms did not stray too far from that interface, so the giant bear only ran a short distance before escaping danger.

He couldn't stay in the place where he just came up, so he had to search in the void, and finally found this place, a place similar to the [Seven Hills Paradise], but it had just been formed, weak and lifeless.

The beliefs gathered here are more free and casual, without such strong positive emotions...so the giant bear happily gave it a name, called [Unbridled Wilderness].

With its existence, he could finally begin to weave his own territory. Now this tiny, gleaming kingdom was the result of the giant bear's efforts.

"It's still a little small, but there's nothing I can do about it. After all, I only have so much faith... But it doesn't matter. I don't need to worry about my life span anymore."

"Under eternal life, all problems are not problems, hahahaha..."

Shaking his head for a while, the giant bear felt that this place was good in every way except that it was too desolate.

There is no need to worry about being discovered by the Olympian gods, no need to deal with various dangers. In your own kingdom, you are omnipotent. This feeling is really wonderful.

For a moment, the giant bear became a little lazy...

hum-

"Ok?"

Instantly awakened, the giant bear looked around, looking for the source of the strange fluctuations.

However, after searching everywhere, it found nothing.

The fifth spiritual world had no boundaries in terms of time and space, so the giant bear had no idea where the problem had occurred. But at least he was sure it wasn't a problem in the periphery.

"This feeling, it can't be there."

After searching for a while without any results, the giant bear finally turned its attention to another place, which was also the center of this world.

When searching for a place to stay, the giant bear had approached that place before. However, it was impossible to approach that place, and it was impossible to explore it. It was as if time and space were stretched. No matter how close it was, the result would be the same.

In the giant bear's impression, that space seemed empty, with only two huge worlds emitting positive and negative energy slowly circling above and below.

This sudden change might have come from there.
