Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator.

Chapter 392 God Says Forty Days

Far away from the heart of Egypt, an old pastureland.

In the eternal darkness, a long snake made of torches is slowly crawling on the earth.

Occasionally a torch would suddenly go out and a small disturbance would break out, but calm would soon return.

In an open space a few hundred meters away from the Long Snake, small storms rushed left and right. In another place thousands of meters away, hail fell from the sky.

The whole world is like a game with a messed up program, and the code for simulating the climate has many loopholes.

In this situation, unless it is torn down and rebuilt, I am afraid no one can restore it to its original state. But no matter how difficult the situation is, all living things are still trying to survive on this broken earth.

There are black cats hunting in the night, and jackals hiding in the darkness and attacking by surprise.

Without light, the team cannot move forward and cannot gather together; with light, it will attract moths that fly into the fire, and they will continuously rush towards hope.

There were casualties and chaos, but over the months, the adaptable humans had gotten used to it.

They found ways to survive, just as people in ancient times had found ways to survive in the wilderness.

"..."

"Prophet, as you instructed, we are almost there."

"The road ahead...how should we go?"

Near the head of the team, a beam of fire moved from the front to the back.

After a while, Aaron saw one of the leaders he had appointed.

The migration team was still too long, and even after several casualties, there were still many people left. In this case, he alone could not control everything, so these leaders came into being.

Fortunately, Aaron's authority in the team remained. Even though Moses was dead and there was no deterrence from his power, they were still willing to follow Aaron's leadership.

After all, the more desperate people are, the more they crave hope; the more powerless they are, the more they place their hopes in gods.

The sun was dead, and Egypt's faith that had lasted for thousands of years was directly shattered. In this desperate situation, they had no choice.

Aaron had personally seen many people who initially made the choice out of helplessness, but eventually became devout believers. God’s salvation was their only light in the darkness, and even though they knew it might only be a desperate situation, they still refused to let go.

Well...actually, if you think about it carefully, Aaron himself is no different.

"Wait and see. I will personally take Moses up the mountain. You all stay at the foot of the mountain so as not to offend the Almighty God."

"Don't worry, Moses received divine revelation here and received instructions in the flames. Although he was killed by the treacherous Pharaoh, God still cared for him."

Along the way, before the sun set, the Egyptian pursuers once again made the Hebrews suffer.

The hunt did not end until eternal darkness fell.

"The sun went out. That was the main god of the Egyptians, Ra, who was high in the sky and looked around the world."

Taking a deep breath, Aaron noticed that many people around him were looking at him.

Facing the expectation in their eyes, Aaron said loudly, just like every time before: "This is God's punishment!"

"God has brought punishment upon the Gentiles, bringing suffering upon their gods and people. He is the protector of the Hebrews, and He will make the perpetrators of violence receive the retribution they deserve!"

"forward!"

"Under God's gaze, the pious will be saved."

Believe it or not, at this moment, the crowd around Aaron was indeed inspired.

In other words, they also hope from the bottom of their hearts that all this is true.

……

Boundless darkness, endless silence.

One step faster than Aaron, when his life was ended by Pharaoh's sword, Moses came to this space that seemed isolated from the world.

He didn't know where this was, the world after death, or the gap between life and death.

However, in the darkness, Moses could vaguely sense some information from the outside world.

He watched his body being carried onto the gallows, yet it remained intact; he watched Aaron guide the Hebrews southward toward the land of Midian.

He saw the Egyptians chasing him and the sun going out, but he could only watch quietly and be a bystander to witness everything happening.

In this state, Moses clearly felt the power that he once controlled. It was a power beyond the mortal world, which could easily solve all the troubles Aaron encountered. But for some reason, the power that was originally closely connected to him seemed to be separated by a layer of shackles, making him unable to touch it.

"Is this what I gave up?"

Although no one explained it to him, Moses suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

[You will give up your future, eternal life, and everything you have, and together with your people, you will suffer the disasters brought down by their gods. Those who do not believe in me will all die, and the pious will also suffer disasters.]

This was originally his glory and right. If he had followed God's will and served merely as God's messenger rather than a prophet of the Hebrews, all of this would have belonged to him.

But he voluntarily gave these up and returned them to God, so now that he is dead, they should be taken back.

So from the moment he lost his life, his first covenant with God was fulfilled.

God killed all the nine pillars of Egypt and allowed the Hebrews to continue living in this world.

He had fulfilled his promise - "Those who live on earth will be punished by earth, and those who live in heaven will be punished by heaven. Whatever they have done to you will be repaid to them and their gods" - and now it was naturally Moses' turn to fulfill his promise.

However, despite realizing all this, Moses became even more anxious, because in addition to this, he also remembered what God had said last.

[This world does not belong to you, so you must go to the place that belongs to you. You must leave here and go to the end of the sea.]

Before, he always thought this was an easy task.

As long as he could get rid of the Egyptian gods and the Pharaoh's pursuit, this journey could be easily completed with the power given to him by God.

So even though God did not promise, 'You will return to where you came from, to the place I promised you,' Moses still thought it was not a problem.

Until now, he has been killed.

It was not man who killed him, but the sun; the sun fell because of him, but he could not be resurrected.

Until this moment, he felt as if everything had been arranged from the beginning. His choice, his sacrifice, everything he had, were all in the future planned by God.

In the dark, Moses saw Aaron holding his body and starting to climb the mountain.

It was the same mountain he had climbed when he was a herdsman in Midian, hoping to find a chance to change their predicament there, but only Moses knew that his covenant with God had ended.

Aaron would not get what he wanted, this was destined, because Moses never told them that God's eyes never stayed on the Hebrews.

"..."

[So... do you regret it?]

wow——

Suddenly waking up, at this moment, Mercer felt that he had "opened" his eyes.

The darkness around him was swept away, and he seemed to have returned to the day when he saw God.

Layer upon layer of the world was undulating beneath him, and seven layers of vast light and shadow flashed in the middle. It was as if he was standing in the center of the universe, and Moses once again saw the shadow that transcended all worlds.

As if it had never changed, and as if it was changing every moment, Moses fell to the ground again, expressing his piety and humility to God.

"god……"

The words trembled as they came out of his mouth, because with just one glance, even though God did not explain, Moses already knew why he came here.

His first covenant with God ended, and he used his life and everything as a bargaining chip.

But God now told him that he was different from others. He had more than one life, so he could have a second chance at fulfilling his covenant with God.

······
Moses had always known that he was different.

After all, God never shied away from His attention, and He told Moses in person that he was different, a special case from other Hebrews.

Before today, Moses didn't know what was different about himself. Only during this period after his death, when he felt the power beyond the mortal world, did he have some guesses.

But guesses are just guesses after all, just like a blind man touching an elephant, he cannot see the whole picture.

What he could see was only a glimpse of the truth, but at this moment, when he stood here, even though God had not spoken, he just 'knew' it.

Moses was his name when he was a mortal, but he also had two names that did not belong to this world.

One is called Pallas and the other is called Horus. They are born with them and are the source of everything.

Two names, belonging to two divine beings, to two masters of the earth and the sky; although these masters are future, not present.

One died before he was born; the other should have been born, but someone else was born for him.

But no matter what, under God's will, these two names were eventually given to Moses, and also to the Hebrews through their bloodline.

In the destiny of Egypt, Horus is the offspring of Osiris and Isis, and this reflection is natural; in the destiny of Chaos, Pallas is the descendant of Zeus's 'dead', and the Hebrews are his descendants.

So as long as the rest of the Hebrews died, their physical life would end, and their bloodline would end with it.

Moses does not need to do anything, he will automatically gather all the scattered powers and become the one who inherits the fate of the future God King of both worlds.

The fate of the world would stand with him—or against him. That was why God had singled him out for attention, and why he was still here.

So at this moment, Moses understood what God meant.

He paid with his life and destiny, and paid the price for his past choices; so God let him experience it all personally and told him the ugliness of human nature.

God made him realize how powerful the power he should have been, and God made him witness the indelible gap between the Egyptian gods and mortals.

One is eternal life and honor, the other is eternal sleep on earth.

God also knew that he would be killed, but He still let Moses experience the process himself.

Until now, God asked him, 'Do you regret it?', but Moses knew that God was actually asking him, 'Have you given up?'

As long as he said he gave up, even if he only had one life and one destiny left, he could still continue to live, reborn from death. Even God would return to him what he had taken away, allowing him to have everything he had again.

As long as Moses nodded, as long as he gave up those people, God would bring disaster down from heaven. He would kill all the remaining people, regardless of whether they were pious or unfaithful.

Because in God's eyes, they never existed.

At that time, Moses will ascend to heaven immediately and inherit the noble and sacred destiny. He will become the angel before the Lord and spread His eternal glory in all the worlds.

Now, all that was left was his own will.

So Moses looked up and gave God his answer.

"... God, I... don't regret it."

click-

A flash of lightning flashed by, but it seemed to be just Moses's own illusion.

God is still there, but He seems to be more distant.

But this may not be accurate, after all, He is always so far away... God is omniscient and all-seeing, and He should know everything.

"So the decision I made today should be within God's expectations, right?"

Being in the Kingdom of God, Moses could still see Aaron on the mountain, and the Hebrew people kneeling down at the foot of the mountain praying for success.

He knew that these people were not necessarily kind or pious. If they were given a chance, they would commit sins. If they were in his position, they might even make another choice without hesitation.

But Moses did not hesitate because he chose to save them, not for their thanks.

He just wanted to do it, that's all. Even the actions of a saint are not understood by everyone, let alone he doesn't think he is a saint.

"I offer you all I have, Almighty God. I offer you everything I have, both past and future, though it all comes from you."

Chanting softly, Moses' calm voice echoed throughout the universe.

“May your way be done on earth as it is in heaven.”

"Please allow me to return to the world, guide your believers, go through trials, and return to the kingdom you promised us."

"..."

He did not look up, but at that moment, Moses seemed to see again that God standing outside of time was smiling at him.

He was making a promise to him and also giving him advice. He promised Moses a time to walk on earth and gave him one last chance to regret.

"...I will give you forty days, from east to west, from south to north. You and your people will cross the sea and return to your old country..."

"... when the last day comes, you will see it from my mountain... everyone who sees it will be able to reach it, except you."

"You will stop there, on the last day before your return. Everything I have given you will be taken back. This is your future destiny."

"You can choose to refuse, but if this is what you want, then..."

God said, "I establish my covenant with you."

······
One day in the sky, one year in the ground.

God said forty days, which is forty years on earth.

Since the fall of the first pillar god, Hermeneu's time has been disrupted.

At first, the time slowed down, and only one year passed here instead of ten years. As the end of the world approached, this slowdown became even more obvious.

But perhaps because the nine pillars of gods fell one after another and the sun went out, time on earth was no longer restricted.

It returned to its original speed, and even became a little faster. So that even though the fight in the sky had only lasted a short time, it seemed like quite a while had passed on earth.

So when Aaron began to climb the mountain, above the primordial water, the sun had not even gone out yet.

The second agreement was made, and the sun was freed. Endless light shone on the earth again, and then it was split into two, completely collapsed and disappeared in the world of Hemenu.

The devil sword that destroyed the sun seemed to become more magical under the burning of the sun's fire. Wherever the tip of the sword reached, the [Benben Stone] collided with it.

At this moment, only Amon Ra was left on the huge surface of water, and opposite him, the god holding the black sword.
