Egyptian Mythology: Daily Life of the Desert God

Chapter 34 Clearing the Curse

Chapter 34 Clearing the Curse
Seth put his heart away and sneered: "You also know that you can't fuse."

"I thought you forgot what you said."

Previously, Sobek said that the fused human authority would be replaced by Eamon, the first man in the world.

Now if he is allowed to merge with human authority, wouldn't that be harmful to him?

Sobek choked on these words, opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.

Seth didn't leave, he was waiting.

Waiting for Sobek's defense.

No, it should be said that Seth was waiting for Sobek to give him a way to safely integrate human authority.

Seth has seen the power of faith, although it relies too much on believers and is not as powerful as authority.

But the amount of faith is huge.

Especially now when increasing the number of humans.

The amount of faith power generated by human beings in the future may be equal to his current triple authority!
He wants to get these powers of faith!
At this time, Sobek also calmed down and explained: "There is a way to remove the curse on people's authority."

"You enter the underworld with human authority."

"Find the reeds in the underworld."

"Then take out the power of man, and the reeds will wash away the curse upon them."

Silently memorizing this method, Seth asked: "Is the curse on human authority cast by Hathor, the God of Love?"

"What exactly happened in Fayoum?"

"Why doesn't Ra take away this authority?"

Seth was curious, and he wanted to know the whole story.

Then go find out what Hathor has to say.

Then he threatened Keb and Nut with the power of their lives to tell them about Fayoum.

After comparing the three parties, you can find out who lied the most.

Correspondingly, whose words are the least trustworthy.

"The curse was set by Hathor and Aemon together." Sobek remembered fondly: "Their hot, strong love."

"In addition, Hathor's power of love and the power of human faith."

"Ultimately after Eamon died, this curse was formed."

"When swallowed and fused with human authority, it will be counterattacked by human authority. The dead Eamon replaces the counterattacked god and gains a new life."

The love between man and God?
Seth's mind flashed through various legends about humans and gods falling in love, which was not allowed by nature.

So Fayoum suffered divine punishment because humans and gods fell in love?
"The destruction of Fayoum was because Eamon did something that offended the current Sun God." Sobek continued to answer Seth's question.

"You fell in love with Hathor, so you offended Ra?" Seth answered.

Sobek was stunned and denied: "It can't be that."

"It's a very secret thing, even I don't know about it."

"As to why Ra did not take away the authority of men."

"For the mother has hidden the authority of men."

"The sun god should still feel that human authority has died with Eamon and has returned to human nature."

"Waiting for the day when a god with a true name and control over the world will once again materialize."

These words suddenly reminded Seth of the Book of True Names.

The Book of True Names was also hidden back then, so it survived.

So the Book of True Names was also hidden by Sobek's mother?

After thinking about it for a while, Seth still asked this question.

"The Book of True Names was also hidden by your mother?"

He wanted to get the true name of God recorded in the Book of True Names.

If we can get details about the Book of True Names from Sobek, we might be able to find the missing Book of True Names.

Hearing Set ask about the Book of True Names, Sobek shook his head: "Mother did not hide it."

"Then do you know who hid it?" Seth asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, Set watched Sobek's body lose its golden color.

The scales on its body turned pale, as if it would die in the next moment.

Seth didn't know what to do due to the sudden change and could only look at Sobek.

Sobek coughed and said, "It's time for me to come out."

"Brother, purify people's authority as soon as possible."

"Then kill Apep and take his body to Fayoum!" After saying that, Sobek's body disintegrated into a pile of mud.

Set frowned and covered the surrounding waters with divine power.

There is no hint of Sobek.

Is it the same clone as him?

After thinking for a moment, Seth couldn't think of anything.

He knew nothing about the mysterious Sobek or Sobek's mother.

However, regarding the matter of human authority, Seth planned to test Hathor first.

As for finding the reeds in the underworld, Seth was still hesitant.

Firstly, he had never been to the underworld, and secondly, Sobek might have lied.

If it hadn't suddenly disappeared, Seth had planned to make him make an oath without loopholes.

To prove what he said.

There is no way to prove it now, so I can only put it aside for now.

Seth made up his mind and left outside Fayoum.

It didn’t take long to leave Fayoum without any obstruction.

However, there was one small thing that concerned Seth more.

That is the change of the river water.

The moment he left Fayoum, he actually felt uncomfortable, as if he had left a familiar person.

Was it influenced by the power of Sobek's mother?
Thinking about it, Seth planned to take Ankh back to Heliopolis after he went back separately.

With the divine power of Ra, it should be able to purify things that shouldn't exist.

……

In front of the Yellow Sand Temple in the desert.

Shu, who was wearing a golden feather crown, confirmed that no one was in the temple and raised his hand to write a few lines of holy text.

After writing the last word, the words of the holy book turned into a breeze and left.

Shu sat in front of the temple, waiting for Seth's reply.

At this time, a little bird made of wheat straw flew in front of Shu.

"The breath of Osiris?" Shu touched the bird curiously.

The straw-woven bird disintegrates into a series of sacred words.

After reading it carefully, Shu was a little impressed.

"Unexpectedly, Osiris specially cultivated new seeds in order not to damage Seth's authority."

"You also asked me to convene a divine meeting so that other gods can follow suit."

"It's really a deep brotherhood!"

Admired as he was, Shu wrote back and told Osiris.

Not every high-level god or low-level god has the ability to increase the number of humans on a large scale while maintaining Seth's authority intact.

Moreover, Shu also asked Osiris to persuade Seth to obey the oracle of the god Ra.

……

The junction of the desert and the Nile River tributaries.

Seth, who was hiding in the desert, appeared, waiting for the clone's return.

He did not go to join the clone.

Seth's decision to stay away from the Nile was due to caution.

Although the clone possesses his consciousness, the two have nothing in common.

Therefore, Seth still does not know what is going on at the bottom of the Nile.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over, and it was Shu's letter.

Seth frowned and nodded at Shu's letter.

It said that he was waiting for him at his temple in the desert of Set.

Let Seth go back to discuss the oracle of Ra.
