Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator.

Chapter 386 See the Sun
"go in."

"It seems that these undead still can't do anything to them, so you should put away your thoughts."

"Do you think I would be willing to go this far if given the chance?"

Outside the City of the Sun, Ramses II gave his final instructions.

Behind him, the Benben Stone, like a small pyramid, was suspended in the center of the crowd.

It receives light from the sky, scatters warm sunshine, and also dispels distracting thoughts in the minds of those who travel with it.

In fact, in the hearts of these Egyptian nobles, they did not completely disagree with the Pharaoh's decision.

After all, the Egyptians had enslaved the Hebrews for a thousand years, and now someone suddenly told them that although the oracle wanted to kill them all, he advocated letting those criminals go. For a moment, even those who had always been loyal to Ramses could not help but have doubts in their hearts.

However, all speculations ended in front of the Benben Stone. It was rumored that at the beginning of the Egyptian dynasty, the object formed by the Mars falling from the sky had been standing on the oldest pyramid, and even the pharaohs of successive generations could not control it.

They could only build similar objects on top of their own pyramids, turning them into "capstones" and building them in the form of sundials.

The square shape represents the four directions, and the pointed top is the symbol of the sundial. It is placed on the top of the pyramid, representing the first land to emerge from the primordial water. The outer circle represents time, and the central cross represents space. Its essence is the embodiment of "time and space order".

Finally, they carved their most desired inscription on it - 'Build a ladder for him to ascend to heaven, so that he can ascend from the earth to heaven'.

This was the gate to the sky and the ladder to the gods in the eyes of the Egyptians. No one had ever been able to operate it except Ramses.

So at this time when God Ra had not appeared for a long time, no one dared to question his thoughts.

"Let's go. I've expelled him three times. Now it's my turn to meet him."

"Sun City... God will be watching all this."

Striding forward, the ocean of the dead parted in front of Ramses.

No matter what they were thinking, everyone followed Pharaoh at this moment.

Since Benbenshi chose Ramses, there must be a reason for it.

Even the most devout believers would not question his authority at this time.

……

Click click click...

The sounds of bones rubbing against each other and flesh colliding could be heard from time to time. Except for a few people, the people who were accompanying them couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

The smell of rotting flesh and blood and a foul smell spread out. Without the light of the Benben Stone, many people in the group would have died of shock or been directly infected with the plague.

Fortunately, there is no "if" in reality. As we walked further in, we could hear the sounds of weapons clashing and shouting. In the center of the city, a pyramid-like temple was in sight.

With that place as the center, the area within a radius of several thousand meters was filled with people, some holding children, some leaning on crutches, but most of them were young people.

After all, under these endless natural disasters, only the young and strong people have a better chance of survival.

However, the most eye-catching person in the crowd was the old man standing in the center.

He touched the ground lightly with the tip of his snake staff, and a bright divine light circulated around him.

The undead that were blocked by the guards were actually just the ones that escaped the net. Countless undead held together this small city.

Under the earth, the skeletons of wild animals crawled in the soil; in the sky, bone birds let out shrill howls. But they were all blocked by that layer of divine light, and even in the eyes of the Pharaoh, he could see more at this moment.

An illusory scroll stretched in the sky, and the power it radiated constantly guided the arrival of the undead. And the real enemy that the old man holding the scepter was facing was precisely it. If there was no scroll, I'm afraid the undead in the entire city would be easily wiped out by him.

This is the power of God, and this is why Ramses came.

At the beginning, Moses' power was not that strong, so he thought there was still a chance to fight him. But now, unless the Egyptian gods descended here directly, he could not think of the possibility of fighting.

"And this is meaningless. In the entire world, from ancient times to the present, only the Nile River Basin can support the survival of a civilization. Those oases in the desert can only support the existence of tribes, but cannot give birth to a civilization comparable to Egypt."

"If they can't find a better place, then I don't need to do anything. They will perish on their own. If they can still find a place to live other than here, then it proves that their gods are still performing miracles."

"And Ra...did not prevent this."

After seeing this miraculous scene with his own eyes, Ramses once again strengthened his resolve.

He strode forward in the direction of Moses.

The living were so conspicuous among the dead that he didn't need to do anything. When the group really approached the circle of Hebrew guards, they were soon discovered.

"Who, stop!"

With a stern shout, the guard in charge of guarding this area immediately stopped them, but the next moment, he showed an expression of disbelief.

"Are you Pharaoh?"

"I'm Ramses, now, get out of the way."

With a quick glance at the guard in tattered armor, Pharaoh recognized at a glance that it was the equipment worn by Egyptian soldiers.

But he didn't say much at this time, because standing here, he could already feel the center of the crowd and the gaze of Moses.

"As agreed, you have built the City of the Sun. Now, it is time for me to meet with your prophet."

For some reason, Ramses felt that his spirit was a little excited at the moment, and his body was better than usual.

At his current age, this was somewhat surprising to him, perhaps this was the power of the Benben Stone.

Continuing to move forward, Pharaoh didn't think that the people in front of him dared to stop him, and that was not the case.

I hope this can all end as soon as possible and Egypt can return to its former peace.

……

In front of the new temple dedicated to the god Ra in the center of the Sun City, the spirit that had been tense all night gradually relaxed.
Except for the initial disturbance, the turmoil in the city soon subsided. The turmoil in the land was severe at first, but then it subsided. Although the number of the dead was large enough, it was not considered a threat by Moses.

The illusory scroll in the sky was about to dissipate. In the face of the power bestowed by God, the deceased could not really penetrate his protection.

As long as he can use up the last bit of power in that scroll, victory will eventually fall on his side.

Disasters came one after another, but they failed to destroy them in the end. At this moment, Moses was even a little happy. Because while fighting against the projection of the artifact, he actually saw the Pharaoh in the distance, whom he had met more than once.

There was no army, no killing intent, and it was clear that the other party did not come with any malicious intent.

Sure enough, his insistence was correct, and Aaron's judgment was too subjective. Ramses II, who ruled Upper and Lower Egypt, did not intend to break the contract. He was really willing to allow the Hebrews to leave after the construction of the City of the Sun was completed as he had promised.

This was the last darkness before dawn, and his purpose in coming to Memphis could finally be achieved.

"..."

"Your Majesty, you are welcome. But please forgive my rudeness. As you can see, I still need to face this sudden disaster."

After a while, in front of the temple, Moses held the scepter in his hand, maintaining the power to protect the city.

When Pharaoh and his entourage arrived here, the crowd of onlookers blocked the area. Moses even saw Aaron rushing over and looking at the newcomers warily.

But Messer felt that he didn't need to worry at all.

"It's alright, Messer. You've proven your ability to me."

"You and your people built the City of the Sun and offered this sacrifice to the god Ra. Your original sin may not be erased, but according to our agreement, I still came here."

There was still some arrogance in his tone, but no one present took it to heart.

Thousands of years of tradition told them that this was how the Pharaoh should speak. Even when the Goddess of Life was still alive, there were many sorcerers with various abilities, but they were still respectful in front of the Pharaoh, and no one dared to be disrespectful.

This is an inherent way of thinking, and it still exists today. So when Moses heard what Ramses said, he finally showed a hint of joy.

"So, Your Majesty, you mean that, as agreed, you will no longer prevent us from leaving Egypt?"

“Yes, you will be driven out of Egypt, just as I said.”

Ramses spoke calmly, "This place will become a forbidden place for the Hebrews. Once you leave, you will not be allowed to come back."

"In the name of Pharaoh, I have fulfilled my promise. From now on, the connection between the Egyptians and the Hebrews ends."

wow——

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden uproar among the crowd.

The Egyptian pharaohs have accumulated power for thousands of years, and even today, many Hebrews are still afraid of this legendary god on earth.

But now, when Ramses himself promised them to leave, did that prove that they had finally been truly liberated and would no longer have to be slaves?
"Your Majesty, your character is as noble as the sun."

There is nothing better than praising loudly and having the other party willing to fulfill their promise.

Moses could not hide his joy, and in front of him, Pharaoh stretched out his hand, and the accompanying minister handed a piece of parchment to him.

He walked forward slowly and unfolded the parchment. On it, there were densely written words.

"Since you have no objection, then sign this document. In the name of the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt, I will release and expel you and never allow you to return."

Clang——

He drew his sword and cut his finger with it, leaving a fingerprint on it.

And Moses did not hesitate when he saw this, he also left his mark on it.

Seeing this scene, cheers rang out from all directions, and Pharaoh's originally serious face seemed to soften a lot.

"So, Moses, I have fulfilled my promise to the Hebrews, haven't I?"

"Yes, sir, your character is so noble that you always keep your word."

Still holding the cane with one hand, Mercer said with a smile.

"So, according to the agreement, the Hebrews were supposed to leave Egypt, too, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. My people and I will never disturb the peace of you and your dynasty again."

"Well."

Smiling and nodding, Pharaoh put the deed aside.

"Now, I should fulfill my duties as Pharaoh."

"Duty?"

There was some confusion. In Moses' impression, Pharaoh was the king of Egypt. He ruled the world, judged right and wrong, and was also the executor of the law.

However, the Hebrews had been building cities here before, so they had no chance to break the law. They had been slaves before, but now they were freed and expelled, and there was no relationship of rulership and being ruled.

So what is the responsibility that the other party is talking about...

Pfft——!
The sharp sword pierced through his chest, splashing blood.

The cheers in the stadium suddenly stopped, and no one reacted to what happened.

In midair, the light from the Benben Stone shone on the snake staff, and this holy object that was originally powerful enough to call the wind and rain became dead silent. Only Ramses seemed to be unaffected, and his smile was still gentle.

"Look, there it is, Moses."

"As Pharaoh, my duty is to uphold the laws of Egypt and punish evil mortals."

"According to Egyptian law, anyone who kills someone must be put to death. I wonder if you still remember why you left Egypt more than 40 years ago?"

In the city, the divine light surrounding the Hebrew residential area began to dissipate. The dead who were shattered and destroyed in an instant were still moving forward tirelessly, but this time, there were no obstacles in front of them.

In the sky, the sun's light shone brighter and brighter, as if to confirm Pharaoh's words that he would cleanse the world of all sin.

Life was passing by, and at this moment, in Moses' eyes, the appearance of the person in front of him began to blur.

He felt that the person in front of him was not a person, but a sun, the god with a golden mask and an eagle's head, who was worshipped in the Temple of the Sun behind him.

"I've actually always been curious about what's so special about you, Messer."

"The power of the other world seems to want to protect you. The Outer God is watching over you, and you are the only one who has been given power by Him."

"He put the Hebrews on the gambling table, while he turned a blind eye to you. So what does He want...?"

"I do not know."

The voice was calm, and Ramses looked up at the sky, but there was nothing in the vast sky except the sun.

"But I think I'll find out soon enough."

thump--

Drawing his sword and looking at the fallen Moses, Ramses waited silently. What would happen to him next?

And most importantly, if he died, what kind of decision would He, the Outer God who bestowed God's grace upon him, make...

······
On earth, when Ramses drew his sword.

Above the Source Sea, beside the sun god Ra, there were only two pillar gods left.

Nephthys, who was about to die, and Thoth, who had an incarnation in the mortal world.

Thoth was not aware of what was happening in the human world, because at this moment, his energy was focused on something else.

The light of authority flashed across his body from time to time, and no one knew what he was doing.
