Chapter 257
"I made a mistake."
With a sad face, Isis looked at the direction of Ra's body torn apart in the sky.
"I tried the power to control him, but I didn't expect that he would prepare such an extra body in advance, let alone that he would give up such a precious body so easily."
His tone was still so gentle, but it was completely different from the Isis goddess Erich had seen on the small island in the upper reaches of the river.
Alixie couldn't help but wonder if it was because he was among family members that he became like this.
While speaking, Isis turned to look at the fennec fox demigod.
"you--"
Erich's heart skipped a beat. She had already guessed that the fennec fox demigod was also a member of the holy family in Heliopolis.As long as Isis calls her, she can confirm her guess based on this name.
Unexpectedly, the fennec demigod opened his mouth before Isis. He saluted Isis in an exaggerated manner, and said with a smile, "You don't have to treat me like this——"
"Ok!"
Isis really didn't call out the demigod title to the fennec fox in that gentle tone, skipped over him, and turned to Elyse.
Alicia saluted Isis as she did in the temple on the island last time, and recited the honorable name that truly belonged to Isis without hesitation: "The great mother who came from ancient history, prosperity and life The guardian of the world, the immortal queen, the bearer of authority and strength, the great goddess Isis, thank you for your rescue today."
The shaking of the rocks in the quarry has gradually stopped, and thousands of ordinary people are still lying in the mine to keep sleeping.
The catastrophe was avoided, and the youngest and most powerful ordinary people in Upper and Lower Egypt were not swept away by the cloud of war. They still had the opportunity to return home, see their parents, wives and children, and return to the land they had cultivated , manage their present world well.
Isis nodded at Erich, and responded with an unusually warm attitude: "I am destined to stand by your side—"
This answer surprised Alicia so much that she asked back on the spot: "Why?"
Isis smiled weakly: "Because I am... the old days!"
"Old days?"
Alicia felt as if her heart had been slammed, and her shock was beyond words.
However, Isis gradually withdrew her smile, her expression became serious, and the lines of her face began to harden, and she nodded solemnly to Erich.
old days—
The mere words revealed a huge secret to her, making her feel as if she was in the long river of time and history, and she could glimpse the history of this world for a short time——
When she was promoted to a demigod, she was reminded that the power of the gods in this world comes from the original.
But they are all creatures, humans, and animals that originally lived in this world——with the addition of their original power, they all became gods in the end.
In the long time, the gods are constantly being born, falling, merging, and splitting...
The authority was exchanged and integrated in the hands of different gods, and it took thousands of years before it gradually evolved into what Erich saw today.
And the old days that Isis answered directly revealed a truth to Elyse:
A long time ago, people in this world believed in the Creator, the God who created everything... was originally a goddess.
That's why Isis kept such a temple on an unknown island in the upper reaches of the river. He will have a name different from that known to the public and will be quietly passed down from generation to generation among the women of Upper Egypt——He Once possessed extraordinary power.
Perhaps, in Egyptian mythology, Atum, the first creator, was the later Isis, and Isis was Atum.
It's just that in the long years, the worship of great women and mothers has gradually shifted to males with superior physical strength. Atum's authority was usurped by the sun god Ra, and finally the god Ra replaced Atum, and Isis came to power. Become the Isis of today.
Of course, all of this is uncertain, and it is all Erich's guess.
The only thing that can be determined is the word "Old Day".
Erich's eyes were full of astonishment, and she stared at Goddess Isis dumbfounded, only to see the Goddess standing in front of her with no pretensions, smiling and letting her watch.
All of this explains many mysteries in the past, such as why the god Osiris gave up the power of abundance and turned to the underworld——
It seems obvious now that the god Osiris was a rightful ally of the goddess Isis.
However, since Goddess Isis wanted to seize power from God Ra, why did she choose to support a rising god like Amon instead of Isis or Atum?
Is it because Amon is indistinguishable between male and female, and the images of both gods and goddesses exist?
Alixi couldn't help turning her head, and looked at Senmut, who had been exempted from gigantism and returned to a normal figure like her. The latter was standing far away, looking at her talking with the goddess Isis with a smile on her face. There was no intention of stepping forward to interrupt.
Or, is it that Isis realized that the fait accompli cannot be changed, or that the trend of history cannot be overturned and changed after all?
In short, Alicia is not Isis, and it is really impossible to judge the intention of this goddess. At the same time, Egypt has an overly thick history and too many unsolved mysteries.
Since the other party refused to elaborate, Alixi had no choice but to give up.
She wants to thank Isis again, and the gods she needs to thank are Nut, the goddess of the sky, and the self-proclaimed demigod of the fennec fox——
Alicia already had a guess in her mind, but she didn't know how to confirm it.And she probably refused to believe it in her heart.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, an incredible scene happened suddenly.
The eagle-headed male god Horus, who was squatting beside Isis and drawing circles on the ground with his back to Isis, suddenly stood up, walked behind Isis, stretched out his hand suddenly, and transformed into a sharp blade in his hand——
Erich's reaction was also quick. When she saw the long knife appearing in the void, a barrier had already appeared in her hand.
This barrier is facing the long knife in the hand of Horus, protecting Isis.
But Horus's long knife seemed to be unhindered, and easily passed through the barrier that Elyse manifested, with a swipe——
Isis' head fell to the ground immediately, and rolled several times on the ground.
Horus suddenly dropped the long knife in his hand, turned around and left, and a huge eagle wing grew out of his back, which instantly became a small point in the air.
All this happened in the blink of an eye, and Alicia watched helplessly that her efforts were as useless as papyrus in front of a true god like Horus.
Coupled with the fact that Isis's body stood upright in front of Elyse, her heart was broken for a moment, and she really tasted what it's like to feel the fear that goes deep into the bone marrow-this can also become power, this world is really terrible up.
Goddess Isis...has fallen?
Alicia stretched out her hands and naturally covered her mouth.
Just now a powerful god was willing to stand by her side, and then fell immediately?
When this overwhelming fear like a wave passed, Erich suddenly remembered: she should have expected it a long time ago—when she put on the book, the second "Egyptian Mythology" that was pressed in the stack of books recorded Issy The dispute between Isis and Horus, the myth does record that Horus, in a fit of rage, beheaded Isis.
Unexpectedly, Isis bent down by itself, picked up her head, put her hand on his neck, and adjusted the direction to ensure that the neck would not be crooked and the tip of the nose would be facing straight ahead.
"I'm sorry, my child is too honest and can't communicate well."
Isis apologizes to Elyse.
"I just used a special method to try to control the sun god Ra."
Isis explains to Elyse.
Alicia knew what she knew—the name.
"But there is a side effect after using this method. I will become extremely arrogant, thinking that I am the master of everything in this world..."
Alicia finally let out a sigh of relief, thinking: The goddess is still very sober!
Indeed, when she thinks back now, before Isis was beheaded by Horus, there was indeed something wrong with the eyes and facial features of Isis, and she seemed a little proud...
Well, not only just now, but even now, the facial features of Goddess Isis are still somewhat distorted.
It seems that after Isis uses the weapon of Ra's secret name, he will also be backlashed by power.If you miss a hit, you can no longer continue to attack Ra.
"So I discussed a method with my son Horus. Whenever I tried that method and controlled the sun god Ra, he would cut off my head and make me sober."
Alicia was completely speechless about this: This method of waking up...only you, mother and child, can use it.
But this also confirms that Isis and Horus should be mother and child in the true sense.
Now that Isis has chosen to support her, Alicia thought to herself that she no longer had to worry about Horus being unfavorable to her.
Thinking of this, Isis seemed to see through her thoughts, and said with a smile: "Go and harvest your red crown as soon as possible!"
In a blink of an eye, the goddess, like a papyrus scroll that was suddenly taken away, suddenly disappeared from Erich's eyes.There is only an empty and distant sky left in front of Erich.
"Tell me, tell me—"
Suddenly, Erich heard the fennec demigod chasing Senmut behind her.
Senmut blushed slightly, and asked quite innocently: "What do you need me to say?"
"Do you know where your ability comes from?"
Alicia turned around, just in time to see the fennec fox staring at Senmut with a curious look on her face.
"What ability?"
While Senmut cast a look at Erich for help, he tried to avoid the other party's question in embarrassment.
"What ability? Do I need to say more?"
Alicia understood immediately.What made the fennec fox demigod very curious was Senmut's ability to influence people's hearts——
The corners of her mouth immediately turned up, and she stood beside the two with her arms folded, looking at Senmut with an attitude of watching the excitement, wondering how he would answer this question.
Seeing her like this, Senmut immediately showed an angry and funny expression, as if to say: "Obviously you helped me achieve this—"
The joke and playfulness in Alixie's eyes became more and more intense, she glanced at the fennec fox nimbly, and then gave Senmut a wink.
"Oh!"
The demigod fennec fox suddenly showed a dispirited expression, turned around and left.
Senmut wiped away all the curiosity in the demigod's heart of the fennec fox.
