Egyptian Mythology: Daily Life of the Desert God

Chapter 32 Ruined Platform
After comparing the position given by Hathor again, Set quickly rushed forward.

However, Seth soon stopped.

The surroundings changed again, but it was not the river water, but the scenery at the bottom of the river.

The dilapidated city wall is covered with green water plants. A human-looking white skeleton is surrounded by broken clay pots and animal bones.

These made Seth realize something and he came to Fayoum.

Seth looked at the ruins at the bottom of the river and sighed for a moment. The once prosperous city was buried under the bottomless river.

In addition to sighing, Seth was also wary of Sobek who might appear around him.

After all, according to Sobek, he was in Fayoum.

As he walked, Seth saw more ruins.

Stone bricks that were mostly covered by river mud, collapsed stone walls, obsidian spears, colorless gems, a large number of bones...

There are even traces of magical inscriptions.

Set was surprised, not by magic.

After all, magic has existed since the creation of the world, but magic did not gain power until the birth of Isis.

But Isis bound the power of magic.

What surprised him was that the luminous stone slab made by magic was still emitting a faint white light.

In the dark river bottom, this light is particularly strange.

Seth frowned, walked around the glowing stone slab, and continued walking forward.

Slowly, Seth felt something was wrong.

Because, leaving aside the various ruins, pottery, weapon remains, etc.

Those who have relatively complete bones left behind still maintain their movements as they were during their lifetime.

Like what he just saw, several bones were sitting and resting against the wall. Next to the bones on the left was a broken clay pot with an unknown thing rotting into a ball inside.

There are also adults and children walking on the street, two skeletons holding hands.

The bones patrolling with weapons, the bones selling things, the bones playing around...

In addition to human bones, there are also bird bones.

It seemed as if they died instantly, so that they maintained the same movements as before they were alive, instead of running away in panic or being killed by weapons.

At least Seth didn't see the remains of weapons remaining in the bones of that white skeleton.

"God's punishment." Seth expressed his thoughts.

Only God can kill these people in an instant.

It seems that Fayoum was destroyed by divine punishment.

Seth became more and more curious. Why did God's authority exist in the ancient city that was destroyed by divine punishment?

What connection does Hathor have with this city?

Various speculations appeared in Seth's mind, and then Seth suppressed them all.

Now is not the time to think about these things, it is better to get human authority as soon as possible.

Seth quickly rushed to the center of the ruins of the ancient city.

A high platform made of gold and engraved with countless complicated divine patterns made Seth stop.

There were reasons why Seth stopped on his own initiative, and there were also reasons why he felt blocked.

It was the power emanating from the divine pattern on the golden platform, which was preventing him from moving forward.

Seth controlled himself to float up so that he could see clearly what was happening on the high platform.

However, there was a layer of fog covering the high platform, and nothing could be seen.

Seeing this, Seth mobilized his divine power to merge into his eyes.

The golden pupils shimmered.

If it were his real body, Seth wouldn't have to go through so much trouble, but this is a clone.

With the blessing of divine power, the fog slowly dissipated in Seth's sight.

A corpse appeared without concealment.

Just when Seth wanted to see the condition of the corpse clearly, the fog suddenly erupted, covering the corpse.

Then no matter how much Seth activated his divine power, he could not clearly see the situation on the high platform again.

He couldn't see it, and Seth didn't intend to see it, but walked to the high platform.

Anka's divine power exploded, and the surrounding river water was forced back, revealing a vacuum zone.

Seth walked forward, but within two steps, he could no longer move forward.

The golden platform burst out with powerful power to stop him!
What worries Set is that the power of the golden platform contains the breath of the sun!

No, it should be said to be the breath of Hathor! Set had touched the seeds cultivated by Hathor, and those seeds contained the breath of the sun.

The force blocking his progress now also contains the same aura.

If his true form comes, he can break this power.

Thinking about it, Seth planned to take out the pottery statue of the girl given by Hathor.

Both of them have the aura of Hathor. If the Golden Platform senses it, it should not stop him anymore.

"You can't get in."

Suddenly, a voice sounded.

The ankh in Seth's heart blooms with the aura of triple authority!

The powerful force once again forced back the surrounding river water.

A larger vacuum appears.

"My dear brother, don't be so nervous."

The voice sounded again, the voice calling himself Sobek.

Seth quickly found the source of the sound.

A palm-sized golden crocodile was swimming slowly towards me.

With his true form in hand, Seth raised his hand and slashed through with divine power!
The crescent-shaped divine power split the golden crocodile in two.

However, the golden crocodile quickly connected again.

No bloodshed, no death.

Seth frowned.

"Brother, why are you hitting me? It hurts!" the golden crocodile said dissatisfied.

The word "brother" made Seth's mouth twitch.

The next moment, a hand transformed from the mud at the bottom of the river grabbed the golden crocodile and squeezed it hard!
The crocodile turned into flesh and came back to life the next moment.

Seeing this, Seth did not believe in evil and changed his method to kill the golden crocodile.

"You can't do this to your brother!" The golden crocodile was dissatisfied and protested.

Seth simply ignored this and continued to kill.

elder brother?

He doesn't have a crocodile brother.

His skin is green all over his body, and he has an older brother who has authority over plants, agriculture, and fertility.

"It hurts!" the crocodile shouted after being crushed by divine power and resurrected.

The response was that he was cut into pieces again.

After repeating the process of death and resurrection five hundred times, Seth looked ugly.

At this moment he felt a little sympathetic.

Facing a deadbeat with resurrection, no matter how you kill it, it's useless.

This feeling is really powerless.

However, after the resurrection of the underworld, Ra was able to kill Apep completely.

How should he kill the golden crocodile?
The golden crocodile who had already arrived in front of Seth shouted angrily.

"Annoying brother, are you stupid?"

Seth looked at the crocodile and asked him seriously.

"Are you Apep's child?"

The only one who can be resurrected continuously is Apep.

"Bah!" The crocodile was very excited after hearing this: "You are Apep's child!"

"Then who are you?" Seth asked when he saw it rejected.

"Sobek, your brother." The golden crocodile replied angrily.

Seth was immune to this answer.

I also understand that this golden crocodile will not tell the truth.

Then there is no need to ask further.

Moreover, just now he was killing it while testing its power.

The final conclusion is that the golden crocodile is useless except for possessing an unknown power that can make the golden crocodile immortal.

However, corresponding vigilance must still be maintained.
