Pivot of the Sky

Chapter 218: His name is Satan

Views:

An-Ra is the oldest god in the nine-linked pantheon. In folk myths and legends, even the gods are described as his descendants. But before the establishment of the Aiju Empire, An-Ra had faded out of the world and almost never appeared. For the Aiju Empire, the most important gods have always been Isis, Osiris, Horus, and Seth.

In order to seize the position of the main god, Seth asked Pharaoh Eraht to regard the ancient Allah as the only god, while other gods and angels were called angels, and Seth became the angel who ruled all the angels Long, the actual patron saint of royal power and the main god of the nine-linked gods. Erlacht, in the name of promoting monotheism, cooperated with the reform of centralization, which has been a great success not long ago.

But Eraht's religious and political reforms have been carried out until now, but only Seth has come forward, and Allah himself has never issued any oracle. In fact, since the establishment of the Ecu Empire for a thousand years, An-Ra has never issued an oracle at all, and he seems to be a non-existent god. The appearance of An-Ra's oracle this time was the first time in the history of the Ecu Empire, and the pharaoh and all the high priests of the empire were shocked.

The content of the oracle of An-Ra is very simple. First, it tells the pharaoh and the high priests of the empire that their so-called "blasphemy demon" is the former imperial general Amon, which confirms people's speculation. Although An-La revealed Amon's identity, he did not indicate that he would perform a miracle to punish Amon, nor did he instruct the Ecu Empire how to deal with this matter in the name of an oracle. Figure it out.

The god told the pharaoh and the high priests of the empire that it was a matter between Amon and Seth, so let Seth solve it by himself. He will recall all the angels in the nine-linked pantheon, and will no longer go to various parts of Eju to chase after them. Take Amon. The Ecu Empire can announce this in its own way and decide for itself what to do.

Erlacht was at a loss after receiving this oracle. He wanted to ask the god, but An-ra stopped answering. So the Pharaoh held a small secret meeting to negotiate. The participants were all the highest-level clergy of the Eju Empire, except for the Pharaoh himself, the three high priests of the main temple of the empire, and all the elders of the Eju Theological Academy.

The elders of the School of theology analyzed the simple oracle of An-Ra. Amon rushed into the temple and cut off the statue of Seth, and the statue of Seth was next to the statue of An-Ra. The God of An-Ra should be clear about this matter, but he didn't want to intervene, even in the oracle. Dissatisfaction with Seth is also implied.

An-La meant to let Seth solve it by himself. If Seth was unwilling to face Amon, then he should bear the consequences of being cut off from the altar. The idea of the gods is indeed difficult for ordinary people to understand, but what should the Ecu Empire do? First of all, the first question is how to declare the identity of the "demon".

After discussing for a whole night, Pharaoh finally made a decision. Since An-Ra didn't order the Eju Empire what to do, there was no need for the Eju Empire to announce Amon's name in order to prevent unnecessary turmoil among the people. Erlacht's authority to rule, as well as Seth's divine prestige, are now seriously questioned. If the public were to learn that the "devil" was Amon, whom all people admired, it would be hard to explain the reason, because everyone would question one thing in their hearts—why did God Amon do that

So Pharaoh issued an order to issue an announcement to the whole territory of Eju: "The great god Allah has come to decree, and the name of the blasphemous demon is Satan. Satan is the one who descended on the Temple of Isis a year ago." The devil is trying to bring disaster to the people of Ecu. The greatest virgin Mary in history, received the oracle from the archangel Seth, and sacrificed herself to severely injure Satan with the power bestowed by the gods.

After Satan escaped, he no longer has the power to harm the Ecu, but he is cowardly, insidious and cunning. He takes revenge on the great Archangel Seth in the most despicable way. Desecrate and destroy the statue of the archangel. He disturbs people's uneasiness, shakes people's beliefs, and sows the seeds of the devil. The great god An-Ra said that as long as people are not tempted by the evil deeds of the devil, they can look up to the glory of the gods. "

The meaning of the name Satan is "resistor", which symbolizes the temptation of people who are not firm in their beliefs to fight against the gods. With the release of this announcement, the Eju Empire finally ended the half-year-long martial law in various city-states, and the magical formations in Des City and Memphis City also returned to normal. down the steps.

During this half a year, countless manpower, material resources, and financial resources were mobilized to protect the temple and hunt down the demons. Except that there were no casualties, it was no less than a large-scale war. If you can't catch Amon, you don't know how long it will last, and no one can stand it in the long run, so let's end it quickly!

If Amon still wants to chop off the statue of Seth, then go ahead and chop it down. He has already cut down twelve of the statues of Seth in the twenty-four main temples of the city-state. It doesn't matter whether the lower half is cut or not. The entire empire cannot be made to work hard with Amon and the idols. Since the god An-Ra has made an oracle, this should be the consequence of Seth himself, so let everyone else breathe a sigh of relief.

The city-states of Ecu have returned to normal life, but some changes have taken place forever. The envoys of the Gods in the Jiulian God System also returned to the Jiulian Temple under the call of An-La, and they were all relieved. In fact, all the envoys of the gods are aware of the cause and effect of the matter. From a selfish point of view, they can actually understand why Amon did that.

Many of them once opposed Amon under the order of Seth, and used various methods to prevent Moses from leading his people to leave Eju. Some of the envoys who had personally experienced that incident sympathized with the people of Duke Town, and even had to admire Amon. Especially when Moses walked through the Red Sea, the goddess Best suddenly appeared, and the gods later learned that the cat next to General Amon was Beth who fell in the "question of fate, judgment of the end" special.

It can be said that Amon saved and treated a distressed envoy in the nine-linked god system well. From a purely personal point of view, the envoys of the gods have more affection for Amon. As for being an enemy, it is only for the sake of completion It's just a mission. When Amon rushed out from the Jiulian Shrine, many divine envoys only made a symbolic move, and did not try their best to chase and intercept him. Because those people didn't receive Seth's order at that time, they had nothing to do with themselves but just dealt with it.

Amon broke into the Jiulian Temple and damaged Seth's palace. This was also an offense to the Jiulian Gods. Later, his crazy actions in the main temples of the city-states in Eju once angered many envoys. But the envoys of the gods gave up training in the comfortable palaces and went to the thankless task of guarding the main temples of city-states in various places, and there were complaints in their hearts.

These complaints are not mainly aimed at Amon. Anyone who is not a fool can understand why Amon did that, but Seth's performance is deeply dissatisfied. The entire Jiulian Shrine and the Eju Empire are about to be turned upside down, but Seth just can't shrink back! This archangel should have the courage and responsibility to face the consequences of what he did, instead of hiding and letting everyone else have peace.

The envoys of the gods only complained about Seth in their hearts, and no one would say it publicly. The long, almost forgotten god of the sky, An-Ra, spoke at last, and his oracle was just as the angels wanted.

It's also interesting to say that after the Ecu Empire's announcement was made, that demon Satan never appeared again. People flocked into the temple to pray and offer sacrifices to An-La. This god restored the peaceful life of the people of the entire empire with a single word. As for the statue of Seth next to him, just cut it into pieces. An inexplicable culmination of the empire's thousand-year history.

The priests took the opportunity to proclaim that the only true God, An-Ra, was so majestic that even the devil Satan dared not offend. God An-La only used one oracle to restore the peace and tranquility of the entire Eju Empire from the chaos that lasted half a year.

Amon, who was dubbed "Satan" by the Eju Empire, did not receive the oracle from An-La, but when An-La sent the oracle to the Eju Empire, he saw it on the distant island. Another god, the one who came to him was the former chief god of the Jiulian Gods, the winged Horus.

It was an early morning, when the sun rose over the sea, and the flowing clouds that had been rolling for half a day were covered with a layer of golden brilliance. The breeze blew over the waves, and the little rays of light shone on the top of the waves. Amon got up from the sitting position, walked out of the forest, and went to the beach to watch the rising sun. The sunlight left a turbulent and narrow strip of light on the sea surface, and a few crabs crawled across the shallows not far away, leaving shallow footprints on the sand, and then the waves rolled gently, and the traces disappeared again.

Amon was watching the sunrise by the sea, while Gabriel was looking at the background of Amon from the top of the highest mountain on the island, with a thoughtful expression.

Gabriel has been following Amon for the past six months. She is just a watcher and guardian, and she will not appear in public unless necessary. So far she has only shot twice, one was the original Cape city-state, and the other was the last Rosetta city-state, both of which were to escape Amon.

In fact, Gabriel did not expect Amon to do that. In her opinion, when he was in the cape city-state, Amon may have vented his anger for a while, and the impact of doing that continuously was too serious and the situation was too dangerous. . However, Amon later cut down the statues of Seth in the main temple along the way one by one city-states. Obviously, there was a clear plan, but it was crazy and unbelievable.

If Maria could foresee what Amon would do, she would be extremely worried, and there would be comfort in her worry, but in any case, Amon should not lose his mind. He was in a seemingly calm impulsive state, which was like creating a top-down earthquake in the Ecu Empire. This behavior also put himself and Gabriel who followed him in danger.

Gabriel's responsibility is to protect him and not let Amon continue to go crazy in a seemingly calm state. After passing through the seven city-states on the east bank of the Lower Aegulonian River, if Amon wanted to enter Memphis City to die, Gabriel would definitely stop him. But at that moment, Gabriel finally breathed a sigh of relief, because Amon didn't go to Mengfeisi, but went south along the Roni River and went straight to Eju, catching everyone who was waiting for him by surprise.

Gabriel could see that as the statues of Naset were chopped off one by one, bringing more and more shocks to the Ecu Empire, Amon regained his true calm, or it was a kind of look Impulsively calm. He didn't stop his crazy behavior, but on the other hand, he regained his wisdom and calmness. Although he was alone with his sword for thousands of miles, he still seemed to be commanding thousands of troops to fight against an empire.

The encounter in the city-state of Rosetta was already very dangerous, and Gabriel made a second shot. If Amon wants to continue, it is actually meaningless. He wants to force Seth to show up. What he has done is enough, and even the envoys in the Jiulian Shrine are alarmed. Amon has to think clearly about one thing. He is doing all this for Maria, not Seth. If he stubbornly deviates from one starting point to another direction and cannot be relieved, it will go against the original intention, and it is not what Maria wants to see of.

Some things cannot be forgotten, and people must do something, but it does not mean that they should go further and further in the way of venting. Up to now, if you continue to go to Eju to harass the temple, it is meaningless to Maria and Seth, and it becomes a self-entanglement in Amon's soul.

At the beginning, Gabriel herself was also in a state of anger, but following Amon along the way made her soul gradually calm down. Now she was looking at the back of Amon looking towards the sea, he seemed to be thinking, is he getting farther and farther away from the real source of divinity, or is he getting closer? Maybe just in one thought.

Amon faced the sea and stretched out his arms, as if taking a deep breath and embracing something. At this moment, his movements suddenly paused, he lowered his arms and raised his head to look in the direction of the sunrise. The sound of the surrounding waves seemed to quiet down in an instant. In the brilliance of the sunrise, on the surface of the golden sea, there is a person walking slowly on the waves.

This person appeared out of thin air, and Amon's detection magic did not sense his existence at all. When he saw him, the figure of this person was in a trance for a while, and he had already stepped onto the beach at an incredible speed, and stood quietly a few dozen steps away.

Looking at his appearance, he was in his early twenties, very handsome, but a little pale. He was wearing a golden robe and a high white crown. The red feathers adorning both sides of the crown hung down on his shoulders. One sleeve was fluttering in the sea breeze, obviously missing an arm.

As soon as this person stood still on the beach, Amon waved his right hand and secretly stopped Gabriel who was about to come with his tomahawk, and then looked at him and asked in a deep voice, "Horus?"

It was Horus who came. There used to be a temple of Horus in Duke Town, and Amon had seen his statue since he was a child. There are usually two kinds of statues of Horus, one is the statue in the center of the main temple of the city-state, which looks like an eagle-headed man with wings on his back, and the other is a statue that shows people with a normal face on other occasions, which is basically the same as the one in front of him. The gods are no different, except that they are taller and have an arm missing.

Amon recognized him, Horus was not surprised, nodded slightly: "Yes, I am Horus, I have seen you in the crowd of the temple, and I have seen you on the battlefield , but never thought that we would meet in such a way today. Please don’t be afraid, I have no malicious intentions, and I am here to guide and help you. God Amon of Salem City, you really have the temperament of a god, and you are still in front of me. I appreciate you being so calm!"

While speaking, Horus showed a solemn and kind smile, and his figure was gradually shrouded in a golden circle of light in the morning light, appearing mysterious and noble. However, Amon frowned and said, "Horus, the God in distress. If you need to find me, please put away the demeanor of that god. You don't need to be like this in front of me."

Horus just launched the coercion of the gods secretly. Normally, creatures who have not yet transcended immortality will be involuntarily intimidated by this kind of coercion. This is also a kind of magic that affects the mind, and only the gods can perform it. But Amon has seen more than one deity who transcended immortality. The first was the girl Yin Nanna on the grassland, and now even the statue of Seth dared to be chopped off, so he didn't accept this at all.

Horus was slightly taken aback, his smile was a little stiff, but he still asked with a smile: "A god came with good intentions and is willing to provide you with help and guidance. Don't you welcome it?"

Amon said indifferently: "I just want to ask you to talk well. Since you are here, just talk about anything."

Horus waved his hand, and two large chairs appeared on the beach, with luxurious umbrellas behind the chairs. He made an elegant gesture, signaling Amon to sit down. Amon sat down, and Horus asked again: "Don't you want to ask me where I come from?"

Amon replied: "Actually, I want to know where you went after you lost the position of the main god. I still know too little about the affairs of the Jiulian God. I do have a lot of things to ask you for advice. If you can tell me how to find Seth, I would like to express my sincerest thanks!"

Horus finally couldn't help but feel a little sad. He looked down at a crab crawling by his feet and said, "I went to An-La's Kingdom of God, and that's where I came from. I've been healing in the Kingdom of God some time ago. , until Seth also entered the Kingdom of God, and I returned to the human world. I know what happened, and I know everything you have done. I just had the chance to meet you today."

Amon couldn't help but leaned on the back of the chair and straightened his upper body: "An-La's kingdom of God? Where is that place? Seth also went there, why did you leave again? Did you have another fight there?"

Horus shook his head helplessly, reached out and stroked the empty sleeve, and said, "In the kingdom of An-ra, you must obey the will of An-ra, and An-ra does not allow the gods to fight there, but we But I don't want to see Seth, so I declined An-La's persuasion, and I can only go back to the world to heal my wounds... You should be able to see that my injuries have not recovered. If we are enemies, if you fight with all your strength regardless of life and death, I'm afraid I can only flee back into the endless void."
