Egyptian Mythology: Daily Life of the Desert God

While Set was thinking, Apep in the clay pot recovered somewhat.

Seth came back to his senses, put away all his thoughts, and looked at Apep.

"Tell me, why did La Shen allow you to hurt me?"

Apep coiled himself up, pressed the snake's head on the snake, and said weakly: "Because I want you to die."

"Why?" Seth didn't understand.

"Because He wants to know if you will die," Apep explained.

"If you die, it means that this era will pass peacefully like countless eras in the past."

"But you have always lived and never died."

No, the original Seth is dead.

Seth accepted these words in his mind and asked in his mouth: "I was already close to death."

"Why did Ra give me blood to save me?"

"Maybe if He waits a few more decades, I will die."

"To be honest, if it were other gods, they would have died in thirty years." Apep said with helplessness in his tone: "It's not that we haven't waited, it's that we have already waited."

"I'm still alive, what does it mean?" Seth's expression became solemn.

"It means that this era is no longer ordinary." A trace of fear flashed in Apep's snake eyes, and he said: "Everything will be subverted and the rules will be reshaped."

"Even gods will truly die."

“It is the dead that cannot be resurrected through authority.”

Seth inexplicably thought of the predetermined destiny he had glimpsed through the broken destiny authority.

It was also the last scene before his death.

Horus, who had the power of the sun, defeated him.

"Will the Sun God also die in this era?" Set asked Apep.

"Yes." Apep said in a serious tone.

"Will you die too?" Seth asked.

Apep sighed and curled up hard: "I don't know."

"I'm just a pitiful and helpless snake who wants to live."

Pitiful?

helpless?

Seth looked at Apep speechlessly.

It's really pitiful and helpless. He is obviously even more pitiful and helpless.

Seeing Seth's expression, Apep said angrily: "Don't believe it, I am really pitiful and helpless."

Seth didn't want to argue with a snake that could rival the Sun God.

"What does Nephthys have to do with you?"

"Why did she put you into the sun wine?"

"Did you instruct Nephthys to plot against me?"

Questions were asked one after another, and Seth waited for Apep's answer.

"The contract didn't say that I would tell you these things." Apep whispered.

Seth really saw a trace of pity in his low voice and huddled body.

It's a pity that the original Seth has seen Apep's true form.

Powerful, terrifying, and in a position to compete with La, I have seen them all.

With these memories integrated, Seth would naturally have no mercy for Him.

It seems that I don't plan to tell him.

Set thought of a plan to obliterate Nephthys.

To the original two questions, one more needs to be added.

Bypass Apep to plot Nephthys.

However, can Nephthys, who uses Apep's flesh and blood to plot against Apep, be able to hide it from Apep?

Will Apep save Nephthys?

These are practical issues.

When he came up with this plan, Set had no idea that Nephthys was related to the real Apep.

He only thought that Nephthys got Apep's flesh and blood, or it was venom, scales or something like that.

After thinking for a moment, Seth decided to tell Apep.

"I intend to kill Nephthys."

"No." Apep immediately retorted.

Seth sat on the throne and said expressionlessly: "She sent the tampered sun wine here just because she wanted me to die."

"I'm not dead. If I want to kill her in turn, why not?"

"Of course, if you protect her, she will definitely not die."

Can Apep protect Nephthys?

The answer is naturally no.

If He goes too far, he will be noticed immediately.

Then the things in which he has wisdom will be known to him.

Seth didn't necessarily have to use the plan he came up with.

As long as Apep takes action to protect Nephthys, it will be fine.

With Nephthys here, there are many ways to force Apep to take action.

Apep didn't care about pretending to be pitiful. He stuck his head out of the clay pot and said, "You dare to violate La's rules?"

"I didn't say I was going to break the rules." Seth sneered: "Besides, it was Nephthys who broke the rules first."

"She doesn't want you to die either." Apep muttered.

Seth's expression was expressionless. There was no difference between plotting against Apep and wanting him to die.

He, who is at the level of the Lord God, cannot compete with the demon snake Apep.

If he really drinks this sun wine, he will definitely become Apep's puppet.

Apep looked hesitant.

Seth looked on coldly.

After a while, Apep said: "Can you postpone the killing of Nephthys?"

"Delayed?" Seth raised his eyebrows.

"Well." Apep explained: "I haven't gotten her authority yet."

Nephthys' authority?

Fertility, house, protection of the dead.

Apep wants these three powers, or one of them?

While Seth was thinking, he also doubted whether Apep was telling the truth.

Nephthys' authority didn't sound like it would be of any use to Apep, after all.

Or does He simply want the essential power of authority, not its usefulness?

Seeing Seth's silence, Apep added: "I can also guarantee that she will not plot against you again."

Seth thought for a moment and said, "What will happen in this era so that the sun god will die?"

Apep shook his head: "I don't know what will happen."

"I just told you everything I know."

Hearing this, Seth felt helpless.

Without the constraints of the contract, the credibility of Apep's words is almost zero.

"What's the secret of the previous second sun?" Seth changed the question.

When Ra was solving the problem before, he obscured Him and the second sun.

"His weakness is sealed in the second sun." Apep said mysteriously.

"In other words, wanting to kill the supreme, supreme God."

"Just find the seal and open it."

Seth was shocked!

As powerful as the sun, above the gods, and able to kill the devil snake, would Ra have a fatal weakness? !

"I know where the weakness is, and I also know how to open the seal." Apep added without waiting for Seth to ask.

"Yeah." Seth suppressed the strangeness in his heart and responded.

He's not stupid.

When Apep said this, he was clearly trying to induce him to break the seal.

However, if this weakness really exists, will La not take precautions?

So what Apep said may not be true.

It is true that you want to trick him.

He and La currently have no conflict, and there is no need to fight for their lives.

What he has to do now is to weave his destiny and authority and get rid of the predetermined destiny.

As for the disasters of this era, we need to make further plans.

After deciding what to do next, Seth looked at Apep and said, "Do you want to continue soaking in it, or do you want to leave?"

"I have guests arriving in a moment."

Seth could feel that the loss of power had stopped, and Isis should be arriving soon.

"I'm leaving," Apep replied.

Set took back the power that enveloped the pot.

And Apep jumped out of the clay pot and quickly flew out of the temple.
