Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

Rumbling--

The thunder rumbled, as if the heaven was angry.

In the distance, the sound of the Nile River lapping could be heard faintly. In the entire Hebrew settlement, only the most central area was rarely visited by people.

This is the root system of the giant tree, and it is also the place where Moses prayed. At this time every day, Moses would pray silently to God and tell Him about his inner thoughts when he made every decision.

“…This is my choice.”

"Many people don't understand me, even Aaron doesn't understand my choice. But Almighty and Eternal Lord, when I gave up eternal life in front of you, I have seen my heart clearly."

“Although I was forced to flee Egypt for forty years ago, there has not been a day since the day I left that I did not regret my incompetence.”

"So I finally came back here... I only hope that your light will spread on earth as it spreads in heaven, so that every devout believer can be saved."

No one would disturb Moses while he was praying, whether they believed in God or not.

The mystery and nobility of the priests were ingrained in the bones of the people of that era. If not for this, as an outsider who had been away for forty years, Moses would not have been able to easily gain the trust of his people.

The person who can communicate with God is the most respected person in this era. People revere this special person as if he were God, whether they are the Egyptians or the Hebrews.

……

The sacrifice lasted for a long time, and Moses spoke for a long time under the big tree that was transformed from the snake staff.

Every time, he expected the holy fire to be lit in front of him, so that he could receive the revelation from the gods again. However, until the moment he stood up, nothing happened.

God did not respond to him, as if the previous revelations had said enough.

Moses was willing to exchange his eternal life and everything he had for the salvation of others, and God had already given His answer.

He doesn't need to say the same thing a second time.

"…Maybe this is fate."

"My choice was also within God's expectations. Perhaps when God saw me, he knew that I was destined not to choose eternal life. Because the past and the future are before His eyes."

Moses stood up silently and sighed.

The giant tree that he had planted with his own hands was right in front of him. It could not only block the rain from the sky, but also dispel most of the harsh climates, such as storms and heavy snow. It could even stabilize the earth, and its roots could prevent ground cracks and lava.

With it, the power of the Egyptian gods would be useless, and they could build the city safely and wait for the Pharaoh to let them go after fulfilling the agreement.

This is the holy object bestowed by God. Even though it is already so tall, it can still absorb nutrients and grow taller and taller...

"...growing taller and taller?"

His expression changed, as if Moses realized something.

He stared at the giant tree. It seemed to have grown a little taller than before.

But how could this giant tree, which was made up of the power of the spring and the snake staff, grow taller out of thin air? Was it the power of the spring that increased, or was it the power of the snake staff that became stronger?

"What happened? Has another disaster struck? Aaron should have dealt with it, but why didn't he come to tell me—"

boom--

Before he finished speaking, the earth shook and the huge tree trembled violently, causing Moses to almost lose his balance.

A loud noise came from the treetops, and some rain leaked through the cracks, splashing mud on the ground.

Moses raised his head to look, but the dense branches and leaves still blocked his view. For a moment, he didn't know what had hit the giant tree.

But following the connection with the snake staff, Moses knew that the attack came from the sky.

"But the attack in the sky just happened, why is it still growing... What's going on outside? Isn't Aaron out there protecting the people?"

Any change in anything has a source of power. At this moment, Moses discovered that although the giant tree was attacked, it was still growing.

A sense of joy of completion inexplicably rose from the bottom of his heart, but at this moment, Moses felt only anxiety.

He had no idea what was happening outside, but now it seemed that they were being attacked from both the sky and the ground at the same time.

This world is still unwilling to let him go.

"God has revealed my fate to me... Among the devout believers, three out of ten young men will die; five out of ten women and children will die; and seven out of ten old and sick people will die... Is this fate? Then what's the point of what I'm doing?"

"No, it makes sense. At least, I'll make more people 'devout believers'."

The confusion disappeared in an instant, and Moses' eyes regained their determination.

Looking at the growing giant tree, he stretched out his hand and tried to control its branches.

Millions of branches then began to dance, some trying to slap the meteors upwards, and some trying to attack the enemies outwards.

Moses gave it the order to destroy any approaching danger.

The miraculous creation then began to move, as if a mountain was moving its body... and at the same time, outside the shelter of the giant tree.

People around Memphis could see that the thick clouds in the sky were torn into large holes.

Meteors fell one after another, crashing onto the sinners on earth.

······

"what--"

"Let me go, I am willing to change my faith, let me go!"

laugh--

"Ra is the god of all gods, the source of everything. You will be punished by God. Stop, don't resist in vain. We are born with original sin, and the suffering we endure is just a process of atonement. When the disaster is washed away--"

laugh--

"Where is the great prophet, where is Moses, let me go, don't you always say that all Hebrews are brothers and sisters and should love each other? Liar, liar!"

puff--

"Master Aaron, why are you doing this? What good will it do for you to let us die? I can listen to you--"

laugh--

"Evil God, evil god, you will not be able to die well!"

laugh--

"...The earth will be stained with sin and blood, and you will pay the price... No one can escape, no one can!"

……

Standing on a mound, Aaron's face remained unchanged as he listened to the prayers, wails, curses and yells that came one after another.

Before the city was built, there was a moat in the city planning, but no water flow was brought in.

But heavy rain solved all this, and the moat's ditches blocked the water flowing from other places. Now, a short canal leading directly outside the city is being urgently dug by thousands of people.

After all, even if the Fountain of Life produced enough water, it would be difficult to transport it by hand. Moreover, the spring was so small that even with more water, it might not be able to stop the huge black tide.

However, no matter how terrifying those snakes, insects, rats and ants were, their individual strength was still small. Even the diluted spring water was enough to use.

"Hurry up and don't pay attention to what they say."

"If they had a sincere heart, they could have proved it long ago. God doesn't need to use killing to force them to believe. This is just a small decision I made personally."

The voice was calm. Aaron looked at the spring in front of him, which was becoming clearer and holier with the nourishment of life.

The blood of sin waters the sacred flowers, and corpses are scattered under the sacred spring that heals life.

Perhaps this is the case behind every glamorous person in this world, it’s just about being active and passive.

"At least for humans."

Walking down the slope, Aaron estimated that most of the Egyptians should be dead.

Whether his plan will succeed depends on the subsequent evidence.

Having devoured the flesh and blood of so many of their own kind, when facing alien races, they must let more of them die.

"You have been training for a while. Although the enemy is not human, we still have to take up arms to defend our lives and wealth."

After a while, when Aaron walked to the top of the city wall, the surging black tide was already right in front of his sight.

He seemed to see the figure wrapped in the black tide, a man on horseback.

He may be a priest of the Egyptian gods, or he may be the king of a country.

"Draw your sword!"

No matter who it is, it cannot change the fact that this is the enemy.

Aaron climbed up to the top of the wall and stood with the soldiers.

“God is with me.”

……

“God is with me.”

Outside the city, riding on a horse, Cash prayed softly, and then looked into the distance at the buildings that could not even be called a city.

He saw the soldiers on guard above - well, he would rather call them a mob that had taken up arms.

He couldn't see any excellence in either the equipment or the training.

"I thought the enemies in the oracle were so powerful, but it turns out they are just these insignificant sinners... I have heard of them. They are a people cursed by the god Ra. Their ancestors committed great sins. I didn't expect that the Egyptians couldn't even deal with them."

The blade was still dripping with blood, all that was left of the Egyptian nobleman that Kash had killed.

Although due to the oracle, he would not directly cause trouble for the Egyptians at this time, but since the other party was blocking the way, he might as well eliminate them.

This brief battle proved beyond a doubt that even well-trained soldiers were no match for his army. As for the sinners called Hebrews, there was naturally no difference.

"They don't even have decent leather armor, nor do they have enough weapons."

"Stone Spear... Ha, are we still living in the ancient times?"

"Hahaha……"

Kash's words caused a burst of laughter. Along the way, even though they knew that these insect ant armies would not harm them, every Nubian still had a lot of negative emotions accumulated in their hearts.

The massacre of the Egyptians just now gave them a little vent, but this venting was far from enough.

"Everyone, get ready. Complete God's mission as soon as possible, and then defeat Memphis directly. I want to use Ramses II as a sacrifice to God to prove my ability."

"By then, everything in the city will be ours!"

Kash swung his sword forward, and with a thought, a rolling black tide rolled forward.

He saw the city walls, the moat, and the vigilant guards, but all of these were meaningless in the face of sheer numbers.

No one knows how many lives there are in the desert, but to Kash, the number can only be infinite.

Salsa...

With a fine crawling sound, the front end of the tide touched the shallow moat.

The tide rushed forward without any hesitation. They didn't need to dodge, they just needed to fill it up with numbers.

Watching this scene, Cash began to wait silently.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Ok?"

His expression changed slightly, and the front end of the tide continued to pour into the shallow moat, but the clear water surface was like an abyss, swallowing everything.

If it wasn't right in front of him, Kash would even think that his army had stopped here instead of advancing.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be something wrong with this water!"

The voice came from the side, and Cash nodded slightly.

He also saw that this might be a trap. However, he was not angry about the loss, on the contrary, he was slightly relieved.

The oracle told them to destroy this group, and they seemed so vulnerable. However, if they were really so weak, the Egyptians should have killed them long ago.

And there was this giant tree that was obviously abnormal... Although Cash believed that the army given to him by God was invincible and acted very confidently, he was still very alert.

"So the first level is the moat? No problem. Let the ants build a suspended ant bridge and send other lives across."

"They have this ability. I have seen it more than once."

Issued the order, although this would greatly slow down the advance, but Cash didn't care.

His army is endless, and this small city cannot stop him for long.

······

whoosh-

whoosh-

whoosh-

……

The collision on the ground has begun, and the power of Nut, the last of the four pillar gods, the goddess of the sky, is gradually emerging.

In the sky, hundreds and thousands of stars began to fall towards the earth, aiming directly at the huge tree.

Strictly speaking, the Sky Goddess does not have the power and authority over the stars, but she gave birth to the stars and has the power to mobilize them.

So under her guidance, the meteors were like another heavy rain, bringing destruction and burning to the earth.

"Why hasn't He taken action yet? Isn't He afraid that those mortals will be slaughtered by the stars?"

Nut was feeling uneasy, but he knew that they actually had the advantage in this game.

In any case, this is the world of Hemenu after all. Since both sides are interfering in the human world, their power will be weakened, but the other side will be weakened more. And there is another problem, that is, He does not hold the divine power of Hemenu.

This was one of the reasons why he Egyptian gods chose to accept the chess game in the beginning, they believed that although the outer gods were powerful, they still had a good chance of winning when both supernatural and human forces had advantages.

However, ever since what happened to Shu, almost all the Pillar Gods began to feel uneasy, and the power displayed by Moses also puzzled them.

He did not rely on the power of the outer gods to perform various miracles, which directly overturned the balance of power in the human world. So at this moment, no one else said anything, at least for Nut, she just wanted to drag out this round and then pin her hopes on the god Ra.

"So why don't you take action yet!"

Looking at the falling stars, Nut was much more anxious than Moses at this moment.

She hoped desperately that the Outer Gods could reach out and stop them, but only disappointment awaited her.

Until the first star fell on the tree, the world remained the same. The gods from other lands did not intervene, but watched all this happen.

"..."

The stars fall on the trees, and even more on my heart.

In an instant, Nut's heart began to sink.

She forced a smile and looked in the direction of Ra, but all she could see was the golden mask covering the eagle's head.

"Don't dream, Nut, He has come..."

A deep voice came from beside him, and Seth looked at the air expressionlessly.

It was the same feeling as when Shu fell before, it seemed that he was doomed.

"...Anubis, my unborn son..."

With divine power surging, Seth did not seem to intend to sit back and wait for death.

Looking at the huge hand that seemed to cover everything, Set, as a god who symbolized the earth of Hermeneu together with the earth god Geb, soared into the sky.

The divine light flickered like an ant trying to shake a tree.
