Chapter 691: Chapter 244: Undead Book
His eyes cast downward, facing Osiris’s seemingly casual inquiry, Ra appeared to still be focused on the Mortal Realm’s situation.
The fall of four Pillar Gods in succession brought direct, yet more potential impacts.
The Vermin Beasts summoned by Set were mostly exterminated, with the remainder scattering and fleeing. After a futile resistance for a while, with the fall of the Sky Goddess and Lake Goddess Tefnut, Henu’s climate underwent a permanent strange change.
This was unlike the natural disasters under the control of the Gods previously, which, though terrifying, were orderly and with clear objectives.
But with the death of the deities, the Origin they represented was extracted, and even the world’s cycle seed to be affected as a result.
Frogs and flies fled from the lakes and swamps, while mosquitoes spread diseases everywhere. Ra already foresaw that another kind of catastrophe would run rampant on the Mortal World, the Earth covered with corpses, indifferent to race and status.
This was irreversible unless the world replenished its missing parts and gave birth to corresponding deities anew, or if He ended in complete failure, becoming part of another world; otherwise, there was no possibility of halting all this.
However, Ra did not particularly care. The disaster appearing fearsoly in the Mortal Realm actually caused more of Henu’s Strength to gradually tilt downwards. Moreover, in the short term, these effects were not enough to collapse the core of the Egyptian Dynasty.
This was already sufficient. He had sheltered the Egyptians through long ages, helping them build a prosperous dynasty. Now was the ti for them to repay him.
It wasn’t only these mortals; even these deities should do the sa.
The world knew that Ra defeated the previous God of Sun, also Henu’s original deity, Atum, becoming the new Sun. Yet how many rembered that, in fact, most of the Nine Pillars Spirit already existed in that era? They were born because of the original deities, and the title “Nine Pillars” was passed down from that era.
In that dispute between the old and new Suns, few knew what roles the other deities played. And once Ra successfully beca Ra-Atum, no one cared about these matters.
Like in the myths of ancient tis, Shu and Tefnut were the first generation of deities created by Atum, but as Ra ascended to the throne of the Sun, myths in the Mortal Realm easily changed accordingly.
People believed the God of Atmosphere Shu was born from Ra’s breath, Tefnut from his cough, and from these two were born the sky and the Earth.
Everything seed unchanged, rely the na of the original creator had changed.
But Ra still rembered; each one of them should thank him for his rcy at that ti.
“Osiris, so you were unwilling to descend.”
“You want to stay here and pray that the Outer God will spare your life?”
Without lifting his eyes, Ra saw through Osiris’s little machinations with clarity.
Though the event of Set murdering Osiris did not occur in this world, the event itself was unimportant; what mattered was its internal logic.
Getting murdered by his brother while having the upper hand was testant to Osiris’s very average abilities.
With such little ability, he even wanted to learn from others to defect? Being deceived by Isis, Ra acknowledged her wisdom and tactics—worthy of soone he favored. But Osiris…
Without a sound, under the cover of his sleeve, a long scroll fell into Ra’s hand.
Thoth, still partly in the Sea of Origin, noticed the slight movent of the robe. At a re thought, he guessed what it could be.
Among the Nine Pillar Gods, only Osiris had once changed his primary Godhood, from the God of Agriculture to the God of Underworld. This poor fellow dared to defy Ra even at this mont…
“It wasn’t praying for Him to spare my life, God Ra; I rely thought we might have a conversation.”
“As far as I know, a thousand years ago, you suffered a serious injury, and it was through rebirth that you restored your wounds. Is that correct?”
Unaware of the commotion in the room, Osiris asked again.
“Yes, are you implying if my opponent was Him? Correct, He was indeed involved.”
Still without raising his head, Ra calmly provided the answer.
