Chapter 12: Recovery from the Underworld
Sighing silently in his heart, Seth saw Sekhmet's eagerness to try written all over his face.
"Do you want to be injured by Apep??"
Sekhmet showed his fangs and smiled: "No, I want to fight Apep!"
"I want to kill Apep with my own hands!"
" That feeling must be extremely pleasurable!"
This answer made Seth not know how to continue the conversation, so he simply remained silent.
However, he silently equated Sekhmet.
At the other end of the equal sign is the strange word "god".
After a while, Sekhmet suddenly spoke and said: "Thank you for not laughing at me for not overestimating my abilities."
"Tefnut and Hathor always ask me if there is something wrong with my authority, so they say this." Such foolish words."
Set agreed with Tefnut and Hathor's words.
Apep can fight with the Supreme God, but he still fights all night without wisdom and reason.
It is enough to show how powerful Apep is.
Such a powerful demonic snake is definitely no match for these main gods.
However, he would not laugh at Sekhmet.
"Wait until you can defeat the gods of sky and earth, then try to fight Apep."
"I'm working hard." Sekhmet said with a smile.
The game was so overdone, the lioness showed a human smile, it was really scary!
Not long after, Thoth and Matt arrived.
Then came Osiris, Isis, and Nephthys.
Then there are Kebu, Nut, and other upper and lower gods.
The empty shrines welcomed their owners one by one.
Gods chatted among themselves, like a human market.
Seth felt it was very inconsistent. The solemn temple where the gods discussed matters should not feel like this.
Although he was also chatting with Osiris and the others.
At this time, the bustling Pantheon suddenly fell into deathly silence.
The eyes of the gods unconsciously looked towards the entrance of the Pantheon.
Wearing a red sun disk on her head, she has perfect facial features, perfect Weseh, and a perfect body wearing a long golden linen dress.
It is Hathor, the goddess of beauty, the goddess without any blemish.
Set marveled at Hathor's beauty.
Hathor walked to his throne and sat down expressionlessly.
It took a while before the gods turned their attention away from Hathor.
She is like a walking sun, attracting people's attention unconsciously.
This feeling reminded Set of the origin of Hathor—Ra's left eye.
Speaking of which, I wonder if Osiris asked about Hathor's seeds.
Seth glanced at Osiris, who was joking with Isis.
Nephthys did not join in the joking this time, but looked at Hathor with envy.
Set on the side saw envy in Nephthys's eyes.
Are you envious of Hathor's beauty?
Seth took a guess and stopped thinking about these unimportant things.
Because God has arrived again.
It was the god he least wanted to see.
Wearing a divine crown woven with golden feathers and a blue and green linen skirt, her deep eyes seemed to be able to see through all lies.
The neck is made of lapis lazuli, black crystal, silver nuggets, and gold nuggets.
On the arms, wrists, and ankles are gold rings engraved with divine patterns.
The main god Shu - the god of air, order and wind.
One of the first two gods created by the Supreme Sun God.
The god responsible for convening divine meetings, settling disputes among the gods, and maintaining order.
He is also responsible for sorting out which two main gods should take turns every year to help kill Apep.
Beside him is a goddess who is as pure as rain, wearing a crown of snakes and birds, and a long white linen dress.
Around her neck was a Wesseh made of sapphire, obsidian, red crystal, and gold.
Wearing gold rings engraved with divine patterns on her arms, wrists, and ankles.
The main god, Tefnut, is the god of disorder, moisture, and rain.
The two gods walked to their respective sacred places and sat down, which was the position closest to the god of Ra.
Set stared blankly at the entrance to the Pantheon, avoiding eye contact with Shu.
It would be best if Shu forgets about him and doesn't reshuffle him into the rotation.
Not sure if it was really what Seth thought, but after Shu sat down, he chatted with Thoth, Matt and other gods.
Seth was relieved that he was not mentioned, and then he saw two annoying gods arriving.
Standing side by side at the entrance of the temple, exuding the aura of the main god, the arrogant and powerful sky goddess and earth god.
Deathly silence fell upon the Pantheon again.
The eyes of the gods turned back and forth on the sky goddess, the earth god, and the four gods Set.
The atmosphere became increasingly tense for a while.
"Take your seats, the divine council is about to begin." Thoth spoke, breaking the dead silence.
Seth looked away.
Isis, Osiris, and Nephthys also stopped looking at them.
The Sky Goddess and the Earth God Takong walked to the throne and sat down.
So far, all the gods have arrived, except for the vacant Moon Goddess and the Sun Goddess.
Thoth motioned to the gods to wait quietly.
One solar hour later.
A sun penetrated the dome of the Pantheon, fell into the vacant supreme seat of the temple, and transformed into a goddess.
Wearing a red gold sun disk engraved with the Sun God pattern on her head, and a long skirt with a red sun pattern.
The red eyes are like two red suns, which seem to burn everything.
On the neck is a red gold Vesekh engraved with the pattern of the sun god.
He holds a red gold three-section staff in his right hand and a red gold ankh in his left hand.
The High God Ra - God of the Sun.
Thoth glanced at the gods and shouted.
"The divine meeting begins."
At this point, the divine meeting officially begins.
The gods were silent, all looking at Ra on the supreme throne.
A general divine discussion is a dispute between gods.
Convened by Shu to deal with issues between gods and gods.
At that time, any god who is willing to participate can express his or her own opinions.
The difference this time was that the god Ra himself convened the meeting, and the gods had to listen first.
God Ra looked down at the gods and said: "The underworld is recovering, and it needs more undead." "
Among all things, human undead are the most suitable for the recovery of the underworld."
"Mother Goddess." Hathor suddenly said, Disbelievingly, God interrupted Ra's words: "Are we going to kill all humans to support the recovery of the underworld?"
Ra looked at Hathor and said, "Even if all the existing humans die."
"The number of undead beings born is not enough. To support the recovery of the underworld."
"The world is still incomplete since its birth."
"The underworld that stopped growing is now recovering, and it will grow into a situation like the human world." "
The world will be truly complete then."
"The gods of the underworld are now revived. will also be born in the world."
"Thus, the gods who built the temple, my children, protect mankind."
"Give them a stable and prosperous environment, and increase their numbers."
Seth said from these words I felt something bad.
The desert is not suitable for human life. There is a lack of food and water, and there are many sandstorms, beasts, and monsters.
If we want to increase the number of humans, we have to change the desert.
The changed desert will naturally no longer be under his control, and his authority will be weakened!
When Osiris saw that the god Ra had stopped talking, he said: "If you help humans, they will definitely sacrifice to us." "
The blank power of faith is a dangerous existence for the gods."
"Even if the blank power is isolated by divine power, they will If it adheres to the idol and does not dissipate, it is easy to breed evil gods."
"God Ra, how can we deal with the blank power of faith?"
