Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator.

Chapter 391: Forging the Sword

Wow——

Penetrating the sky, across the ocean, through the places where Amon Ra had fought the gods before, nothing could stop Apophis.

As the world-destroying demon god who was born almost at the same time as the first sun god, Apophis felt as comfortable as if he were back home while wandering in the void outside the mortal world.

It had been restrained for too long, and swallowing the sun only slightly appeased its endless desire for destruction. So when another delicious oversized "snack" was in sight, the Chaos Snake's eyes could not help but shine brightly.

It looks like it's not easy to mess with, but it's the hardest one to mess with! It opened its mouth wide again, like a python swallowing an elephant. Endless chaos and destruction entangled between its lips and teeth. The implication of the end even made La, who was standing by, feel a little frightened.

That is, the sun has not been truly destroyed, and the symbol of the world's destruction has not yet reached its peak. Otherwise, even Ra could not be sure how powerful Apophis would become.

"Roar--"

The roar was like a dragon or a snake, and golden light emerged from Apophis's belly. The sun was still struggling, and from God's perspective, it was like a black snake holding the sun in its mouth and emerging from the sea.

I don’t know how high it is, I don’t know how long it is, but huge waves are rising on the primordial water. The giant snake, which is growing stronger every moment, swallows the sky and the earth, and takes the existence in front of it into its mouth.

"Roar……"

There was a hint of joy in his low voice, and at that moment, Apophis felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

It seemed as if the meaning of its existence was about to be fulfilled, and its eternal and boring snake life had come to an end.

But the next moment, a tearing sensation spread from the snake's head, and the snake heads that were biting together were forced to separate. With eyes wide open, Apophis swallowed hard, and nothing that went into its mouth could come out!

tear-

Like rotten leather, little cracks began to appear along the edge of the snake's mouth.

The big mouth that should have been closed was stretched open little by little, and then became bigger and bigger.

It was as if gods and demons were wrestling with each other, but Apophis was clearly at a disadvantage. Even though the destruction between the worlds was constantly increasing its power, since the Eight Primordial Gods were still there, the world was far from the brink of destruction.

It seemed like only a moment, but it also seemed to last for a long time. At some point, Apophis finally reached his limit.

Along the gap between the upper and lower jaws, the sound of flesh tearing echoed over the primordial water.

Painful roars continued to be heard, and the huge snake body was split into two.

"Roar--!"

brush--

The sun that was swallowed by the snake jumped out, dotted with black spots. But no one cared about the sun at this moment, Ra's eyes were completely fixed on the outer gods.

Tearing Apophis' body apart is indeed very powerful, but he knows that the reason why this world-destroying demon has made all previous suns helpless is not because of his simple strength, but because of his immortality.

It has no such thing as a priesthood, no concept of soul, and no "Ka" and "Ba" like all Egyptian gods.

It is the embodiment of chaos itself, the embodiment of the destruction of all things. Ra has no way to destroy it at all. I wonder if the world outside the domain has such ability?

"hiss--"

"hiss--"

It was split into two, and the sun that had been swallowed escaped into the sky, but Apophis's ferocity remained unchanged.

In other words, as the world decays and power grows, it is losing even its remaining instincts.

The more powerful a being is, the more difficult it is to maintain its personality; the closer one is to the source of power, the more one is assimilated by it.

Without even a pause, the two torn body halves automatically repaired themselves in the rolling black air, and then turned into two black snakes that bit forward.

The gap between him and the god in front of him was clearly visible, but it only wanted to destroy, whether it was destroying others or destroying itself.

boom--!
The primordial water created a raging wave, and it seemed that a protracted battle between gods and demons was about to break out.

Amon Ra sat on the sidelines, and it was not a bad thing to be able to watch his two biggest enemies fight each other before the final battle.

However, the next moment, La's eyes suddenly narrowed.

The scene before him was really beyond his expectations.

······
The fourth level of the spiritual world, the world of all spirits.

The black and white colors are rotating, and the huge Well of Samsara stands in the center of the world.

The River of Forgotten flows in a winding manner, and countless souls have their memories sucked away, undergo judgment, and then reincarnate.

As one of the three innate Styx rivers that possess partial authority over the underworld, just as Styx continuously draws strength from the oath, it also gains something from the memory of the sinking.

These creatures' most precious treasures continue to nourish it, allowing it to become stronger and stronger like its neighbors.

Standing beside the Well of Samsara, Autumn and Eirene of the End performed their duties as usual.

Points of divine light fell in all directions, and the dead souls immediately reincarnated according to the standard. Because their memories had long been washed away, there was no struggle, and the scene was quiet and peaceful.

wow...

……

Wow...

……

Wow…

"Ok?"

Her expression changed, and Erinye's eyes became sharp.

The water of the River of Forgotten suddenly rolled abnormally, which instantly caught her attention.

In today's world of all spirits, only the River of Oblivion is connected to the outside world, and other communication channels have long been locked.

This strange change is likely a sign of outsiders.

Crash-!
The water beats against the riverbed, and countless souls float up and down in it.

Eirene acted decisively and tried to connect reincarnation with her will.

In the world of all spirits, the three goddesses who possess the power to control reincarnation are not afraid of any enemy at all. Even if the God King from the outside world comes in person, he will only be suppressed by the power of the entire spirit world, and then be easily suppressed in front of the Well of Reincarnation.

Of course, Eirene didn't think that the gods in this world would be so stupid as to sneak into the spirit world secretly.

Soon, Eirene's consciousness touched the power of reincarnation that spread throughout the world of all spirits, which was also the place where they were born.

This vast and endless power made her feel intoxicated every time she came into contact with it. No matter what happened to the River of Oblivion, she could -

"——What's going on? Is the reincarnation 'empty'?"

Her face changed, and Eirene found it difficult to describe what she felt.

The [Well of Samsara] is still there, and it is still performing its duties, but in Eirene's perception, it is now like an empty shell.

The power in it had long been drained away and gone to who knows where, and the same is true of the Forgotten River. The reason why it surges is actually because its power has been drained away, but it does not have the essence of great divine power.

The countless souls in the river brought it "pressure", making it impossible for it to maintain stability and tranquility.

"call--"

She took a deep breath, and was panicked for only a moment, but Eirene reacted quickly.

This is the spirit world, and the Well of Samsara is a sacred object of the level of a creation artifact. Even if all the great powers in the world join forces, it is impossible to silently drain its power in the spirit world.

So there was no need to ask whose will all this came from. At this moment, she just needed to fulfill her duty. "——Stop!"

With a light shout, Eirene stepped onto the River of Forgotten.

The boiling river water was immediately suppressed by her, and at least on the surface, everything returned to calm.

Being in the core of the spirit world, no one noticed the changes here. Four spiritual moons hung in the sky, illuminating the countless dead souls in the spirit world.

······
Hermeneus, the primordial water.

The changes in the spiritual world are far away, but Apophis never stops moving.

The two snakes that were split into two did not hesitate at all, and they bit each other again at the moment of splitting.

The breath of destruction circulates around it. This is its innate mission.

However, the next moment, a drop of extremely refined liquid appeared out of thin air in front of Apophis.

Out of instinct, the snake swallowed it without hesitation. It might be a trap, but it had neither the intelligence to recognize a trap nor the need to recognize it.

As an immortal demon, nothing in this world can really hurt it. So it opened its mouth wide and swallowed the liquid into its stomach.

Then in an instant, under the influence of some force, Apophis seemed to have forgotten where he was and what he was going to do.

It suddenly became quiet, as if there was no longer any threat. Only in its belly, the drop of liquid began to decrease madly.

It cannot control Apophis for long. It won't be long before the immortal demon wakes up and responds to the world with a more violent attitude.

But for God, this is enough.

He reached out and grasped the two separated snakes, uniting them into one again. The sacred fire ignited in his palms, burning the dazed bodies of the snakes.

The scales gradually began to glow with a metallic luster, and a black aura seeped into the snake's spine. The Hemenu world began to tremble, as if indignant at the actions of the Outer Gods.

However, watching this scene, Ra was shocked and a little puzzled. It was indeed surprising that the other party could make Apophis lose consciousness, but what was he doing now?
Refining a divine weapon? That's a bit ridiculous.

If this simple method could erase Apophis's existence, would he still be around today?
Apophis is immortal. It can only be destroyed by destroying its will. Otherwise, any action will be meaningless.

But is it possible to destroy its spirit with such a simple method?

But no matter why, he just hesitated for a moment and then raised his hand.

The sun emits an extremely scorching light, and even the few black spots lingering on it do not diminish its majesty.

Like a weapon, he threw the sun mercilessly in the direction of the outer gods.

The golden wheel passed through the sky, and its trajectory was reflected on the water.

Ra-Atum was at the center of the sun, with the Ben-Ben Stone hanging above his head.

The foreign gods were right before his eyes. This outsider who had never taken him seriously from the beginning to the end had now trained Apophis's snake head into a 'handle' and the snake body into a scabbard.

But Ra knew that all this would be in vain as long as Apophis woke up. Even if the Outer Gods could restrain its body, they could not restrict its will and make it work for them.

“Take that—”

Clang——

The sword split it in half, cutting into the core of the sun.

La Atum looked at the black sword that pierced his chest with no expression of either sadness or joy.

I have to say, this thing is quite powerful. The Outer Gods seem to have added the power of "death" and "destruction" from their world here, acting as the core and controlling the power of Apophis.

However, La could also find that the will in the sword seemed to be awakening under the stimulation of facing the sun.

Does it make sense? No. If the Outer Gods did all this just to have a way to kill the sun with one strike, Nara-Atum said that this might be exactly what he wanted.

Indeed, as the sun's arch-enemy, Apophis's power is particularly harmful to the sun, and he himself was severely injured by the attack that was equivalent to the combined power of the Outer Gods and Apophis, but in terms of the result, isn't this exactly what he wanted?

With a smile on his face, La Atum stretched out his hand and grasped the black sword that had pierced his chest.

The palm was easily cut, and with the severe damage to the sun, the black sword seemed to absorb even more powerful destructive power from all things.

Yet in the face of all this, La Atum simply took a step forward.

"You have been severely injured and will hardly be of any use in the subsequent battles."

"Therefore, for the great world of Hermeneus, as the sun of Egypt, I choose to die with the enemy!"

It seems like he is convincing himself, but he is probably speaking more to the world.

Facing such a powerful enemy, any price to win is reasonable.

So in an instant, liquid slurry overflowed from the sun, igniting blood-red flames, just like the blood and fire of the sun god.

Ra Atum itself was also ignited, and the entire sun was like a bomb about to be ignited.

Hemenu's shaking became more and more intense. If there were no external enemies, the gods would never allow such self-destructive behavior, but now it seemed like they were seeing off their offspring.

At the same time, in Amon Ra's perception, a force that was infinitely stronger than before was surging towards him, and on the contrary, the constraints of the world's laws on him were reduced by more than a level.

If the sun is destroyed, the world will only be left with the eight gods who carry all things and some scattered divine powers, which will have a devastating impact on him.

Fortunately, he killed the mortal before, which slowed down the attack of the alien world. Otherwise, Amon Ra even suspected that if the alien world continued to fight against Hemenu's will with the same crazy and powerful rhythm as before, then when the sun fell, the world would no longer be able to resist the attack of the alien world because of the severe damage to the internal cycle.

At that time, the barrier of the world will be broken, and the main body will be dismembered. In a very short time on the world level, Hemenu will be swallowed by the other side, and neither himself nor the Outer Gods will be able to snatch it from the mouth of the foreign land again.

"Ok?"

Suddenly realizing something, La was shocked.

If you look at it this way, killing that mortal seems to be more than just beneficial to yourself...

So if the Outer God actually predicted his prediction, then did He know that He could actually gain strength from the destruction of the world?

It would be fine if he didn't know, but if he knew, why would He cooperate with his actions?
Looking up suddenly, Amon Ra saw the expanding sun and the bursting light in front of his eyes. He also saw the black sword with the same explosive power that cut the sun completely and corroded it with death and doom.

Apophis' will was stimulated by this, and it was only a little bit away from awakening. Once awakened, it would become even more powerful.

His own strength also began to become complete, and the yin and yang forces of [Absolute Void] began to undergo final integration in his body.

The full picture of the great divine power realm has opened up before Amon Ra, and the power that he could not even imagine in the past is now in his hands.

Even as one of the four levels of the world, once the symbol of [Absolute Void] is complete, Amon Ra can be sure that he can obtain some even more incredible benefits.

What about Him? How can He defeat me?
A shadow flashed through Amon Ra's mind, and he was certain that no matter how powerful the Outer Gods were, they were still far from reaching the pinnacle of great divine power.

If “He” could bring back the power of the foreign world now, then he could just run away with the money. Anyway, with the rigid laws of the world, Amon Ra didn’t think he would be blocked here.

What's more, [Absolute Void] itself is the outermost barrier of Hemenu. It naturally has an advantage in fighting against the "nothingness" outside the world, allowing it to exist for a longer period of time after leaving the world.

In this situation... the level of power is absolutely dominant, and the existence of the world is not enough to bring destruction to itself. Amon Ra can't think of how he can lose.

"Maybe... this is just the aftereffect of the sun's fall."

Regardless, La Atum was a part of who he once was.

When the sun died, he was inevitably affected, whether it was the pain of facing death or the sadness of the world itself.

After all, it wasn't just him. From this moment on... the Egyptian world also lost its light forever.
