Chapter 294 She Still Wants to Be the Queen of the Gods

In another world, 600 years later, wild lions have disappeared from Egypt.

But in ancient Egypt, wild lions have lived here since ancient times.

Even after 1000 years—the era of 600 BC, there were still wild lions in Egypt.

It is precisely because lions have always lived in Egypt that Egyptians worshiped the lion goddess in ancient times.

Sekhmet, the patron saint of Itawi City, and Bastetto, the patron saint of Bubastis City, are both lion goddesses worshiped by the Egyptians.

While Sekhmet became the guardian god and queen of the gods, Bastetto seemed to be suppressed and belittled, so the image of Bastetto changed from a lion goddess to a cat goddess.

The origin of this kind of lion goddess worship may be that in the ancient tribal era, the priestess or female leader who held the power of the tribe wore a lion head to deify herself, and participated in the war between the tribes, and eventually evolved into the lion-headed goddess of war.

Precisely because the Lion Goddess is based on a woman who wears a lion's head as a helmet, Roy was not surprised to see Sekhmet remove the lion's head as if it were a helmet.

What really surprised Roy was Sekhmet's beauty, which was completely in keeping with the identity of a goddess.

Standing on the throne of God, Sekhmet is tall and tall. She has a slender and beautiful figure, and her delicate face is like a doll. Unfortunately, her skin color is brown, which is not as brown and white as the goddesses Wajit and Nait. .

Looking at Sekhmet's beautiful face and posture, Roy quickly thought of the reason why Sekhmet is so beautiful.

In the ancient tribal era, the prototype of Sekhmet could be a priestess or a female leader wearing a lion's head to deify herself. She must be the daughter of the male leader who holds the power of the tribe.

As long as the male leader's wife is the most beautiful woman in the tribe, the daughter he gives birth to will naturally have a high probability of inheriting his mother's beauty.

An ordinary tribal woman accidentally picked up a lion's head and put it on her head, and was regarded as a goddess by the ignorant tribal people——

This kind of fairy tale-like story can only appear in fantasy novels that are divorced from reality.

After all, the struggle for power has always been bloody and cruel. How could the person in charge of the tribal power give an ordinary tribal woman the opportunity to become a goddess.

Only the most beloved daughter of the tribal leader can be deified as a lion goddess wearing a lion head and accept the belief and worship of the tribal people.

Thinking that the prototype of Sekhmet might be humans from the ancient tribal era, Roy asked excitedly.

"Great goddess Sekhmet! Can you tell me, who once ruled Egypt and became the queen of the gods, was you a real god or a goddess deified by humans? If you were originally a human being, you represent human beings After becoming a god, you can also become the king of the gods."

Hearing Roy's words, the priestesses of Nafir and Sekhmet next to her were all startled.

"Roy, are you hallucinating or talking in your sleep?"

Nafel looked at Roy suspiciously and said.

"Or—you can actually see the goddess Sekhmet?"

Facing this difficult question, Roy could only look at Sekhmet with a look of help.

Sekhmet said in a cold voice with an unhappy expression.

"If you want me to help you, you have to help me persuade Nafel to move her capital to Itawi City, and to regard me as the protector of the country and the queen of the gods like her ancestors."

Roy nodded without hesitation, and Sekhmet's body immediately burst into divine light, allowing Nafer and the priestess to see her.

"Goddess Sekhmet—"

"Great Sekhmet!"

When Nafir and the priestess saw that Sekhmet really came, the priestess immediately knelt on the ground and worshiped Sekhmet devoutly.

Nafir looked at Sekhmet at a loss, because she brought Roy to the temple of Sekhmet, she just wanted to pay homage to the patron saint of the pharaoh family 100 years ago, and did not want to talk to Sekhmet Goddesses have too much to do with each other.

"Dear Nafir, welcome to the Sekhmet Temple to meet me."

Facing Nafier, who was able to re-ascend himself to the throne of the Guardian God, Sekhmet was like a mother seeing her daughter, and said to Nafier with an amiable smile.

"I used to protect your ancestors in the past, and now I will be your patron saint. Would you like to come closer and bring us closer?"

Hearing Sekhmet's request, Nafier instinctively looked at Roy for help.

Roy gave Nafir an encouraging look, then sold Nafir directly to Sekhmet, and gave Nafir a slight push on the back with his left hand.

Nafier walked in front of Sekhmet involuntarily, Sekhmet took the initiative to hug Nafier with both hands, and said with a gentle sweet smile on his face.

"Dear Nafir, you don't have to think of me as a god like everyone else. To me, you are like my daughter. You can think of me as your mother, or you can think of me as your sister."

"Goddess Sekhmet—"

Faced with Sekhmet's overly pampering attitude, Nafier became even more at a loss.

Seeing Sekhmet's efforts to become the queen of the gods again, Roy also thought about the terms of the deal with Sekhmet.

Nafir is not a simple ignorant child.

As the princess of the Pharaoh's family, Nafer certainly knew that the goddess Sekhmet had come in person, and she loved her so much, obviously in order to regain the throne of the guardian god.

If Nafer can satisfy Sekhmet's request, she can indeed accept Sekhmet's favor with peace of mind.

But Nafir didn't help Sehmet become the guardian of the country again, so she couldn't accept Sehmet's love for her.

Seeing Nafer's indifferent reaction, Sekhmet first exchanged glances with Roy, and then said to Nafer.

"Dear Nafir, please don't be burdened to accept my favor, I won't let you do anything for me."

"Goddess Sekhmet—"

Nafir looked at Sekhmet with surprised and suspicious eyes and said.

"Although I can't enshrine you as the God of Protecting the Nation like my ancestors, you are the Queen of the Gods who has ruled the Gods for 300 years after all. I can give you a status second only to God Amon."

Sekhmet barely kept a smile on his face, and dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"Dear Nafir, do you want to hear me tell about the great deeds left by your ancestors?"

After Nafir nodded, Sekhmet continued.

"Speaking of the great deeds left by your ancestors, we must first talk about Amenemhat I, the first pharaoh of Egypt's No.12 Dynasty. The greatest deed of Amenemhat I was to convert the capital of Egypt to Transfer from Thebes City to Itawi City, and let the patron saint of Itawi City, Sekhmet, replace the patron saint of Thebes City, Amon, as the guardian god of the Kingdom of Egypt. The No.11 Dynasty was in the I only existed for 140 years under the guardianship, but the dynasty established by your ancestors was guarded by me for 300 years. It was not until the barbaric Zeus invaded Egypt with the barbaric Hyksos that your ancestors had to abandon the city of Itawi , moved to the city of Thebes in the south, and I also lost my status as the guardian of the country.”
