I don't like the gods, I want to be a hero

【Jump. 】

'Metis' sounded a reminder, Seleus, who had been prepared but was a little uncertain, jumped up directly, and subconsciously grabbed the ceiling that was about to hit his head with both hands.

'Is something rushing over? 'Metis'. ' Serius asked inwardly.

[Yes, a huge snake, it is not clear whether it is highly poisonous.The snake opened its mouth wide and rushed towards you just now.And now, the snake's body is under you. 】

'Below me. The divine marks all over Seleus' body flashed, and he smashed his whole body down with all his strength with both hands. The legs blessed by the divine power penetrated the body of the big snake, and the rest of the body was also turned into mud by the huge force of Seleus.

[The big snake is dead. 】

'I seem to be able to sense the outside world with my five senses deprived. The easy killing of a giant snake did not cause any disturbance in Serius' heart. He just stretched out his two fingers and observed with eyes that could not see anything at all.

Although he also sensed something before encountering the big snake, but because it was too vague and there was no confirmation from 'Metis', it made it impossible for Celius to determine whether he really sensed it or whether it was an illusion due to deprivation of the five senses .

But now, before 'Metis' made a sound to remind him, Seleus had sensed the existence of the big snake, and he was confirmed by 'Metis' again, which made Seleus feel very stable.

[Note, everything here is full of variables until you find the remains of Osiris and leave, so please don't stay too long. 】

'Understood, but now it is different from the previous situation. I use my own perception to avoid incoming attacks. If I dodge, I will remind you that I am right. If my perception is wrong, I will remind you that I am wrong. 'Since he has a perception ability independent of the five senses, Seleus feels that he needs to practice well.

【learn. 】

When Seleus was running fast relying on his own perception, he suddenly realized the approaching danger, twisted his body suddenly, and dodged with all his strength to narrowly avoid the sudden attack, but even so, a slash was drawn on his body. With a deep and long wound, Seleus felt that the divine power was constantly repairing his body, and it didn't stop for a long time.

'what is that? 'Selius asked the 'Metis' who was a step behind with some shock.

[A black lightning bolt, inferred to be an attack similar to Cronus's destructive power, should have been set by Apophis himself. 】

'It's lightning!No wonder it wasn't fully dodged. 'Selius' heart sank, but one is fine, if there are a few more...Although he won't die, it's hard to say what will happen when the five senses are deprived.

【Perhaps La will have a way to fight these lightning bolts. 】

"You can't count on Ra's support. I suspect that these lightning bolts were deliberately placed here by Apophis in order to make Ra waste his strength. It's just what he wants when we go back to find Ra." 'Selius rejected 'Metis' offer.

Faced with these lightning attacks, Serius, who had been deprived of his five senses, had no good way to deal with it.If the five senses are not lost, the lightning alone will not bring him any danger at all, but unfortunately this is only if, the curse of deprivation of the five senses and the black lightning are exactly Apophis' ultimate moves.

'Fight! 'Selius yelled in his heart, if he was frightened and stopped in the face of a danger that would not kill him, would he still be the Seleus who wanted to be a hero?

Serius poured his divine power into his feet, and rushed forward with extreme speed, but as he moved forward, the frequency of black lightning appeared more and more intensive.With the unfamiliar perception, Seleus could barely avoid a part of the lightning, and he gritted his teeth to resist the rest.

That is, Serius, who has a blessing of 'immortality' comparable to the full blessing of the main god Pluto, if other Egyptian gods other than Ra came here, there would not even be a complete corpse.

Another bolt of lightning struck, and Serius, who had just avoided another bolt of lightning, couldn't dodge in time, and was struck directly.Feeling the high-speed operation in the body and the divine power of constantly repairing his body, Seleus clearly realized what kind of situation he was facing now.

'If I hadn't practiced before, I should have had to retreat by now. 'Selius is very fortunate now that the perception he practiced before in times of emergency has come into use so quickly.Moreover, as time went by, his perception became stronger and stronger, and the number of times he was struck by lightning became less and less.

'Ok? !It has changed a lot! 'Selius suddenly felt that the lightning strikes this time did not come one by one as before, but four together, blocking all his hiding spaces.

'Is it a hidden killer move? ' guessed Seleus.

'Then come on...'

Chapter 140 Seven hidden dangers

Front, back, left, and right, four bolts of lightning struck at Serius, who had been deprived of his five senses, in four directions, and it was impossible to avoid it.

Under the tremendous pressure, Seleus maintained his inner peace, and he seemed to have some strange insights after fully perceiving the lightning.

Seleus felt something extending from the depths of his heart to the outside, as if an eye had suddenly opened, and Seleus could clearly 'see' the situation outside again.

Not only that, even the extremely fast lightning seemed to be slowed down dozens of times in Serius' field of vision at the moment...

Leaning back quickly, the power of destruction poured into Efodias, and he used it to block the lightning behind him. Immediately afterwards, Seleus pulled out his battle ax and swept away, directly cutting off the remaining three lightning bolts.

Without the slightest hesitation, Seleus set off directly after cutting off the lightning that besieged him, and ran forward. On the way, the lightning still kept shooting towards Seleus, but these lightning that could make Serius suffer before are now For Seleus, who can easily 'see' them, it has no effect at all.

'Now it is easy to perceive the imminent danger. 'Running in the dark passage, after a period of exercise, Serius has fully adapted to his new abilities.

'Apophis and the others would never have imagined that such a perceptual ability could be developed in such a short period of time, that a deadly trap would give me such a big gift. 'Using the battle ax in his hand to easily chop off the lightning that struck him, Serius thought to himself.

Lightning's attack has completely lost its effect in front of Serius today. The lightning that was originally used by Apophis and the others as a killer move has become the easiest thing for Serius to deal with since entering this passage.

[From a rational analysis, the seemingly simple process is actually the result of some harsh conditions. 】

[Completely closed five senses, consciousness independent of perception, indestructible body and recovery ability, plus the powerful control over one's own body brought about by having endured enough trials...]

[So many difficult conditions are concentrated on you at the same time, which is the reason why you seem to be able to practice 'mind'. 】

'Perceptual 'eyes of the mind'? 'Selius murmured the name silently in his heart.

[Reminder again, our primary goal is to find the remnant of Osiris, the practice of 'mind eye' is just a surprise, please don't waste time because of it. 】

'Understood! 'Selius no longer communicated in his heart, and began to move forward with all his strength.

In the following journey, Seleus did not encounter more difficult difficulties than the black lightning, and soon Seleus arrived in front of a thick stone gate.

'It should be here. Stretching out his left hand, Seleus looked at the bracelet emitting bright light, and confirmed that this was where the remains of Osiris were stored.

Going forward, Serius broke open the stone door with his own strength, and a holy coffin that was exactly the same as the water monster's place last time lay quietly behind the stone door.

Seleus didn't immediately step forward to pick up the holy coffin, he knew that the cunning enemy would always use his ultimate move when people reached their goal and were most relaxed.Therefore, even though the holy coffin of Osiris was right in front of him, Seleus suppressed his restless heart and carefully observed whether there were hidden dangers around him.

But after Serleus searched carefully for some time, he found no danger.

'Am I intimidated by this deprivation of the five senses and the sudden joint lightning? Touching his head, Serius thought with some emotion. 'How suspicious. '

'This is the second holy coffin. 'Going forward to pick up the holy coffin, Seleus breathed a sigh of relief. 'The next step is to safely return the holy coffin to Ra's temple. '

......

"La, great, supreme sun, your believers pray to you, praying that you will shine light on the earth forever..." Aymanla was doing daily prayers in her room.

Since Seth's attack was repulsed that day, the sun in the sky never set again.The sun high above emits light that illuminates everything all the time, making all darkness invisible.

However, while the sun illuminates the world, it also brings incomparable temperature to the world.As long as the skin is exposed to the sun for a little longer, it will be sunburned, and the sweltering heat in the house can steam people, and there is no need to light a fire for cooking, just wrap the food and bury it in the sand...

However, in the past, these Egyptians might still complain about the sun that seemed to never set, but after experiencing the siege of Seth, they saw the endless night and the sea of ​​undead Finally, people are eager to make the sun in the sky a little hotter...

"Master Emmanla! The sacrificial ceremony is ready." A priest holding a long staff came behind Emmanla who was praying and bowed slightly.

"Are you ready?" After saluting respectfully, Emmanuel stood up slowly. "How is the preparation of the personnel? You must know that in this kind of weather, the participants must have a strong will to survive the whole process. I will never allow the sacrificial ceremony to fail because someone fainted halfway!"

"Don't worry about this. Seth has helped us a lot on the selection of candidates. I can guarantee that everyone has a strong will and physique." The corner of the priest's mouth rose, revealing a confident smile.

"Seth? What did he help?" Ayman took a step forward, staring at the priest in front of him with wide eyes.

"Do you still remember the dark red luster that covered the whole process before?" Even though Emmanuel stared at her, and the long hook in her hand was faintly aimed at his neck, the priest did not panic at all. "I choose those who have not lost their minds after being photographed."

"Huh—" Emmanla took a long breath, and the female leader realized that the priest was joking with herself, and she rolled her eyes angrily. "Don't make such a joke next time, I almost hooked your head off."

"It's just that Lord Emmanuel has been overworked recently, and the mighty power of Ra God can't make people sleep peacefully. I just want to make a joke to let Lord Emmanuel relax." The priest bowed his head slightly.

"But this kind of joke not only didn't make me relax, but also frightened me a lot." Holding her big shield, Emmanla walked out of her room. "Go down and rest. I've been picking people for the past few days. I guess you're quite tired."

"I'm really grateful for Master Emmanra's concern." The priest bowed his head again.

"I'm going to take a break now..."

Chapter 140 The eighth was cheated

Under the dark night sky, Seleus followed the guidance of the bracelet to the sky above a destroyed temple in the desert.

Seleus walked in the dark ruins, surrounded by only the light from the bracelet, but this little light was useless except to make the wrecked statues and dilapidated temples in the dark more eerie.

"Although it was destroyed, I still want to complain. The temple is built in the desert, and there is no town or oasis around it for supplies. Will believers really come to worship?" In the dark environment Next, Seleus, who was holding a battle ax and carrying the sacred coffin, moved forward cautiously.

"Egyptian gods are the same. They don't stop when building temples. You must know that even experienced walkers will die because of unexpected situations in the desert, let alone some ordinary pilgrims."

Seleus looked at the destroyed temple in disbelief. "Who was the one who decided to build a temple here with a slap in the face? In this place, many pilgrims must die every year."

[Maybe because the people who built the temple wanted to test the sincerity of the pilgrims. 】

"Test the sincerity? Shouldn't the believers be sincere? Shouldn't it be the god's own business? What is a mortal doing with this heart?" Seleus didn't understand even more.

[Maybe it's because they think they are qualified. 】

"In our Greece, Master Zeus and the others also look at people's sincerity when they face people's prayers?" Seleus was suddenly a little curious. He wanted to know that he had only sacrificed to the gods once and was "emergency" stopped. What did the gods of Olympus do when faced with the prayers of believers.

[In fact, when a believer prays for a certain thing, most of them are sincere.Moreover, Zeus and the others generally don't care whether the believers are sincere or not, but whether the mortal's prayer is "interesting". As long as it is "interesting", even if the person concerned does not pray, they will intervene in a different way...]

"Should we really be worthy of being them?" Serius shook his head helplessly at the answer of 'Metis'. "What about Lord Hades?"

[Under normal circumstances, no one prays to Hades, even if there is, Hades cannot agree to those who bring the dead back to the world...]

"Needless to say." Quickly stopped 'Metis' words, Seleus covered his head. "I probably already guessed what's going on."

Seleus, who had successfully chatted to death, began to focus on finding the holy coffin of Osiris. Although he was in a dark environment, he was still able to see the surrounding scenes clearly.

Suddenly, a gloomy cold air blew on Seleus' body, and he, who had a body made by God, trembled from the cold air.

"It's the divine power of Apophis." Sensing the divine power of the Chaos Serpent in the cold air, Seleus suddenly turned his head to a place surrounded by gravel. There is a cave under the gravel. The cold breath comes from It came from inside.

Now that he found the location, Serius rushed in without hesitation.However, to Serius' expectation, the cave was not very deep. After a while, Serius' feet touched the ground, and what appeared in front of him was a tunnel with no end in sight.

Walking in the tunnel, Celius felt that the air was a bit humid, but this should be impossible. You must know that the top of the cave is an endless desert without oases. Where does the moisture come from?

This abnormal situation can completely convince Celius that there is a trap set by Apophis, but 'Metis' did not perceive any danger from it, nor did his newly trained mind perceive any ambush.

However, he was afraid of encountering another silent trap that could be compared to the 'deprivation of the five senses', so Seleus cautiously followed the direction of the bracelet with his battle ax in hand.

"Huh?" Seleus, who had been heading deep into the tunnel, suddenly became serious, and his superhuman perception made him aware of any movement around the tunnel.It was dense, as if the sound of countless glass cracks reached his ears.

【remind!Quickly wrap the flames around your body and rush forward! 】

"Did something happen?" For the first time, Seleus could feel disgust and disgust from the words of 'Metis', which made him a little curious about what happened now.

But curiosity is curiosity, knowing that 'Metis' will not give useless suggestions, Seleus still let out the flames honestly, wrapping himself tightly.

[I don't want to explain, and I'm sure you never want to know. 】

There is a saying that curiosity killed the cat, and the same is true for people.Even though 'Metis' repeatedly emphasized not to let Seleus go to investigate what happened now, but Seleus still couldn't help but want to know.

"Is there a curse that will hurt you once you perceive it?" Even if he wanted to investigate curiously, Seleus had to make sure whether his actions would bring him any danger.

[There is no danger to you, but you will definitely be hurt and regret it. 】

There is nothing to be afraid of if there is no danger, Celius ignored the reminder behind 'Metis' and opened his mind with strong curiosity. However, after seeing the source of those sounds clearly, his face instantly turned green. It seems to be able to squeeze out oil.

Tens of millions... as if endless locusts crawled out of the ground in all directions, up, down, left, and right, and then rushed towards Serius frantically with their wings vibrating.

Even if ordinary people look at the locust swarm with the naked eye from a long distance, Seleus has just carefully observed it with the eyes of the heart, the tentacles, thighs, and the abdomen that does not know what disgusting thing is contained, and the dripping water. Suspicious juicy body...

"vomit----"

The swarm of locusts rushed towards Serius with an overwhelming momentum, and gave off a strange smell of meat under the burning of the flames. Smelling this smell, Serius, who was already disgusted and couldn't stand it, vomited directly. out.

Fortunately, Seleus didn't go back to the city to supply supplies because he wanted to bring back two pieces of Osiris' remains at a time, so he didn't eat for a long time, and what he vomited was only some saliva and gastric juice, otherwise...

"Burn everything! Everdias!"

Without caring about cleaning the slobber from the corner of his mouth, Serius roared and released the power of the battle axe. The flames wrapped around him instantly expanded, like a small sun, emitting flames that completely engulfed the locust swarm... .

【I said!You will regret this! 】

After cleaning the corners of his mouth, Serius' originally calm face darkened a lot after hearing the words of 'Metis'.

Although there is no proof, but after looking back on the beginning and end of this incident, the wise Celius always felt that 'Metis' purposely used words to arouse his curiosity after being disgusted by the locusts, prompting him to observe these locusts with his heart of.

Because she could tell Serius directly that it was the locust swarm that caused the movement, as long as she said that, Serius would never have the slightest curiosity...

"Ah!" It's too late to say anything now, the locusts have already dealt a heavy blow to Seleus's heart, Seleus sighed, and continued to search for the remains of Osiris deep in the tunnel...

Chapter 140 Conspiracy

While Seleus was looking for the remains of Osiris, Aymanla was organizing a grand sacrificial ceremony.

Thousands of believers carefully selected by the priests are walking on the streets. They wear white linen robes and shoes made of papyrus. The men have shaved heads, and the women wear complicated braids.

These believers are sprayed with perfume made of various flower petals. The mixed smell of water lily, jasmine and lily seems to be frozen in the whole city and will last for a long time.

Although because of the sudden arrival of night, the residents of the city once gave up their faith because of doubts about the death of God Ra.But as the sun rose again and dispelled the seemingly never-ending night, the Egyptians had regained their faith in the sun god Ra.

There are crowds of people on the street, and the converging torrent flows slowly like the Nile River, full of holiness and solemnity.

The soldiers wearing the recommended armor and holding weapons looked devoutly at the direction of the temple, unlike when they were always on guard in the eternal night and had to force themselves to take up weapons with great determination, at this moment they did not have the slightest You should be vigilant, and hold the weapon firmly in your hand.

This is a sacrificial ceremony dedicated to the great Ra, the supreme sun who rules everything. The soldiers who have seen light dispel all darkness believe that no one or god dares to do damage under the eyes of Ra.All heretics who violate the majesty of Ra will be reduced to ashes under the wrath of the sun.

Facing the direction of the sun, Aymanla, who was wearing thick black and very exaggerated makeup, and a group of priests and priests surrounded a small golden boat carrying a statue of Ra with a sheep's head and a human body made of gold and gems, and slowly headed for the temple.

The believers began to kneel down, singing poems praising the glory of the sun loudly, even though their mouths were dry and their voices were hoarse under the sun's rays, they would not stop for a while.
