Egyptian Mythology: Daily Life of the Desert God

Chapter 18 Hathor’s Request
Logically speaking, avoid the trigger.

Even if Nephthys did hook up with Osiris, Set would be an outsider.

How to deal with this matter is a matter for Isis, Osiris, and Nephthys.

In short, it was impossible for him, an outsider, to repeat the fate of death.

After thinking about this, Seth breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems you are sure to prevent your nephew from killing you." The thick voice laughed.

Seth subconsciously wanted to explain the reason, but he realized that something was wrong with this subconscious.

He is not a big-mouthed person, so it is impossible to get an answer from him just by asking.

"I've finished listening to your prophecies, please let me go."

Skillfully, Seth began to change the subject.

"I have never prevented you from leaving." The thick voice laughed: "At the same time, I also want to tell you."

"The outcome of the prophecy is not irreversible, as long as you kill your nephew's father and mother."

"Then the nephew who kills you and seizes power will never appear again."

"Yeah." Seth responded with a strange expression.

The next moment, the golden sun hanging high in the sky burst into dazzling light!

Even Seth, a god, couldn't bear it and could only lower his head and close his eyes.

After a while, the light faded and Seth opened his eyes.

A room engraved with desert patterns and yellow sand divine patterns comes into view.

Seth sat up and looked around the room.

Everything was quiet, and the protection formed by Ankh was still intact.

All this shows that Seth did not leave the temple.

Nor does anything enter the temple.

But he clearly remembered everything he saw and heard just now.

It was not a false memory, nor was it a hallucination, nor was it a dream.

God does not dream.

Was there any manipulation done to her when she came into contact with the bloody river?

Seth thought of this and called his true name in his heart.

The divine power brought by the triple authority constantly washes away his divine body.

This process continued a thousand times before Seth stopped.

During the flushing process, Seth did not feel anything unusual.

There are two possibilities, one is that his guess is wrong.

The other is a problem with his body that he cannot detect.

After pondering for a moment, Seth decided to go back to Heliopolis.

No evil force can exist in the city of Heliopolis!

Getting up from the bed, Seth walked quickly to the main hall.

Anka floats quietly in the air, exuding the atmosphere of the desert.

Set waved to Ankh.

It slowly floated into Seth's hand.

After injecting his own divine power, Set began to open the divine door to the city of Heliopolis.

While opening the Gate of God, Seth also thought of Bloody River's way of dealing with the prophecy.

He could feel the strong malice.

Just like the popular fable Oedipus the King.

God made a prophecy to the king, telling him what would happen in the future.

The king was so convinced of God's words that he abandoned his son.

In the end, the tragedy happened that the son killed his father and welcomed his mother.

If the king had not abandoned his son, the result would not have been tragic.

God made prophecies and caused things to come to pass in the future as He predicted.

The bloody river is the god, and Seth is the king.

It's a pity that a fable is a fable after all, and Seth is not stupid. In addition, what he is more concerned about is, what is that bloody river?
While thinking, the door of God opened, revealing the sun behind the door.

Set put away the Ankh and stepped through the Gate of God.

He saw the city of Heliopolis again.

However, it was different from the last time he came.

The road to town was deserted.

Seth did not sigh too much, but opened his hands and faced the red sun over the city of Heliopolis.

The sun containing the breath of Ra shines.

Suddenly, Seth felt a lightness in his body. What was being stripped away from his body?
Before Seth could find the thing, he heard a scream!
Then there was a strong smell of blood!

He still didn't know what it was, but he was sure that the dirty things attached to his body were gone.

After settling this matter, Set planned to return to the temple immediately and send a letter to Beth.

She asked herself to find the bloody river.

Bethet must know something about that unfortunate river.

However, when Set took out the Ankh, he saw Hathor.

As soon as she walked out of the city, she saw Seth with a surprised look on his face.

Smiling at Hathor, Set opened the divine door and left.

"Wait a minute." Hathor suddenly shouted to Seth.

Seth couldn't pretend not to hear, not to mention that it would take time to open the God's Gate.

So he stood there, waiting for Hathor to come.

After a while, Hathor came over with a smile on her face.

"Set, can I ask you to do something for me?"

"What's the matter?" Seth wanted to sigh. He was not a helpful god.

Just as she was about to say something, Hathor's expression became serious. She twitched her nose and looked at Seth and said, "You accepted a human blood sacrifice?"

"Blood sacrifice?" Seth looked confused: "I did not accept human sacrifice."

"But you have a very strong smell of human blood." Hathor looked suspicious.

Seth didn't know how to prove that he had not accepted a sacrifice, so he could only reiterate: "I have not accepted a human sacrifice."

Hathor came close to Seth, sniffed it vigorously, and then said: "I misunderstood you."

"In addition to the smell of blood, there is also the power of the evil god."

"It was the evil god who accepted the blood sacrifice of humans. You killed it, and its breath was contaminated with you."

Seth was still confused, Evil God?
He has never killed an evil god recently, so how could he be contaminated by the evil god's aura...

Wait, the bloody river!
Could it be that the bloody river is the evil god! ?
Seth thought of this and felt that there was something wrong with Bethet.

But he didn't show it, he just said: "Is there anything you can help me with?"

Hathor took out a clear crystal, which was full of seeds.

Seth did not have agricultural authority, so he naturally did not know what these seeds were.

However, judging from its appearance, it should be exactly the same as the one Hathor gave to Osiris before.

"Can you help me give the seed to Osiris?" Hathor asked.

"Okay." Seth nodded.

"Thank you." A smile appeared on Hathor's perfect face.

Seth found it pleasing to watch, although he didn't know why Hathor didn't go himself.

However, compared to this, Set wanted to know why Hathor took special care of humans.

It stands to reason that her authority does not depend on the strength of humans.

Asked the questions in his heart.

Hathor suppressed his smile and said bitterly, "Because they are my children."

"I can't help but worry about my children and help them."

children?
Set raised his eyebrows, what is the relationship between humans and Hathor?
Just when Seth wanted to continue asking, Hathor said: "Go to Thoth, he will tell you."

After saying that, Hathor returned the same way.
