Under the cloudless sky, the blazing sun beat down on the sweltering desert.
As Lisa and her team made their way toward the mysterious pyramid, Syd, having reached Level Five Divinity, initially considered using the black stone to test another death scenario. However, he stopped mid-motion, his gaze instinctively turning southward.
"Sothing's there..."
Syd's eyes narrowed in slight confusion.
He felt an inexplicable pull from that direction. Scientifically speaking, when he cast Divine Command, extending photons over a 1,200-kiloter radius, he sensed an anomaly in that specific area.
After a mont's thought, Syd put the black stone away and, basking in the sunlight, began flying toward the source of his curiosity.
As he flew, black liquid oozed from his right arm, and a small head ford-the familiar presence of Venom.
"Syd, where are you going?" Venom asked curiously. "What's so special about this place?"
Syd shook his head, replying casually, "Sothing there caught my attention. I'm going to check it out."
Hearing this, Venom seed even more intrigued. It was rare for anything to pique Syd's interest, given his monstrous power.
Flying at a leisurely pace, Syd refrained from using his full speed. After a while, Venom's head turned, directing Syd's attention.
"Hey, there's a group of humans over there," Venom pointed out.
Syd paused midair, turning to look.
A kiloter away, a group of people and cals trudged through the desert against the wind and sand.
Focusing his attention, Syd's divine body and mastery over light granted him perfect clarity. From a kiloter away, he could see every detail of the group, down to the strands of hair on their heads.
A band of humans in the middle of an uninhabited desert? That seed odd.
For a mont, scenes from various movies and TV shows flashed through Syd's mind. His curiosity piqued, he observed them more closely.
"Their direction..."
Syd noticed that the group was headed toward the sa destination as him.
It was too much of a coincidence to ignore. They must be seeking sothing specific- perhaps even the sa thing that had drawn him.
Deciding to investigate, Syd moved closer, floating silently above the group as he eavesdropped on their conversations.
It didn't take long for Syd to piece together their purpose.
"A pyramid..."
A flicker of curiosity crossed Syd's face.
A mysterious pyramid? Who built it? What secrets did it hold?
The pyramid wasn't far, so Syd decided to remain above the group, observing their journey like watching a live-action adventure film.
Thirty minutes later, the caravan ca to a halt.
"Are you sure this is the place?" Lisa asked impatiently, glaring at Najido. "I don't see anything!"
Before them lay nothing but sand and sunlight.
"If your map is correct..." Najido muttered, stroking his white beard as he scrutinized a brown parchnt map marked with directions.
"Then why is there nothing here?" Lisa wiped sweat from her forehead, her irritation growing. "If you've led us astray, you can forget about your million dollars, and I'll take back the advance!"
Najido panicked, mumbling, "It doesn't make sense. The map clearly marks this spot..."
While the group bickered, Syd, hovering above, observed the scene with growing intrigue.
From his perspective, the area did appear empty. Yet, his senses confird that this was the source of the anomaly.
More importantly, the light in this area seed unusually distorted—fake, even.
Red light flickered across Syd's hand as he cast Chaos Magic.
Boom!
The energy collided with an invisible force, revealing a faint golden, translucent barrier. Within the barrier stood a magnificent pyramid, hundreds of ters tall. Its listone-white surface reflected the sunlight brilliantly, while its golden capstone glead like a miniature
sun.
The group fell silent, stunned by the sudden appearance of the pyramid.
"It's here!"
"So it really exists!"
Their awe was quickly replaced by a mix of excitent and confusion. What had caused it to appear?
After a brief discussion, their thoughts shifted to the treasures rumored to lie within. Their breaths quickened, and without hesitation, they pushed forward, passing through the barrier as if walking through a sheet of water.
Syd followed silently, floating like a ghost behind them.
As soon as the group entered, the barrier faded once more, concealing the pyramid from view.
Walking several hundred ters, they arrived at the base of the pyramid.
"How do we get in?" Lisa asked, her gaze falling on a burly man with distinctly Egyptian
features.
Without a word, the man began searching for an entrance.
After ten minutes of effort, a rumbling noise echoed as the pyramid's massive doors creaked
open.
A rush of stale air greeted them, and with eager anticipation, they stepped inside.
Syd trailed behind, invisible and unnoticed.
As they ventured deeper, passing through corridors and chambers, they encountered
nurous murals.
Many depicted golden disks, figures with bird heads and human bodies, and others with ram
heads.
Najido began explaining, "The disk represents the sun, a symbol of Ra, the Sun God. The bird- headed figures also represent Ra. The ram-headed figure depicts Ra's form in the
underworld."
"These murals mostly portray images of Ra..."
The group was intrigued.
Ra, the Sun God, symbolized light and creation. His worship held a central place in ancient
Egyptian culture.
A young man in glasses nad Norbert remarked, "Interestingly, the na 'Ra' ans 'light'
in Sanskrit. In the context of Buddhism, Amitabha can be interpreted as reverence for infinite
light."
"It seems ancient civilizations all revered the sun and light in so form..."
Lisa smirked. "You're quite the scholar, aren't you?"
After so lighthearted banter, their curiosity returned.
What connection did Ra have to this pyramid?
