Egyptian Mythology: Daily Life of the Desert God

Chapter 74 Betrayal
The top of the mountain.

Nut and Kebu under the sky also received letters from Shu.

After a short discussion, the two decided that Kebu would go to the desert to protect mankind.

Nut stayed with Metes.

The reason for this decision was that Meters had been having nightmares recently.

I dreamed that my own body, that is, the stars, were completely destroyed by the demon snake.

Therefore, Nut and Keb were worried about Meters staying alone under the canopy.

Wait for Kebu to leave through the Gate of God.

Nut sang a hymn to Metes, a hymn to the sun.

"Mother Goddess, is there no hymn to praise the stars?"

Nut heard Meters ask.

This question made Nut laugh and said, "You haven't become a god yet."

"So there is no hymn for you."

"When you become a god, there will be countless hymns belonging to the stars."

"So that's it, I know."

Listening to Meters' voice, Nut's brows and eyes were filled with tenderness as he continued to sing the praises of the sun.

He wanted to use the supreme and omnipotent sun god to dispel the haze caused by Meters' nightmare.

However, a moment later, Nut heard Mettus ask.

"Mother Goddess, since the Sun God is omnipotent, why not seek help from the Sun God?"

"Let Him give me life and become the God of the Stars."

"That way, Mother God and Father God can meet me."

A trace of resentment flashed in Nut's eyes, and he said: "The Sun God cannot help us for some reasons."

"In addition, the god of life is your sister Isis."

"We can just ask for your sister's help."

After speaking, when Nut wanted to change the topic, he heard Meters shouting excitedly.

"Mother Goddess, God Amun asked you to return the goose feathers to him."

"He has a new way to awaken the moon god!"

"Really?!" Nut was overjoyed.

"Really, Mother Goddess, go quickly!"

Nut listened to Meters urging.

She took out the Ankh and was about to leave, but she was worried about Meters: "Can you stay by yourself?"

After hearing Meters say it was okay, Nut drew the door of God and left.

Desert, red grass oasis.

This is also an oasis for desert gods.

However, by the time Seth arrived, a god had temporarily removed the black spot disease.

It's Lolos, the fruit god.

"I have not changed their belief." Rolos said, "They still believe in the Desert God."

Seth naturally knew that they could feel the power of his faith from the oasis in front of them.

"I will protect them. Thank you, Rolos."

Existing believers were important to Seth.

Rolos protected his followers, and Seth would naturally thank him.

"It's just a trivial matter. The Desert God is serious." Lolos waved his hand and said, "The oasis is protected by the Desert God. I'll leave first."

"Okay." Seth nodded with a smile.

The lower god Lolos turned around and ran away.

In fact, when he started clearing the oasis, he learned that the humans here believed in the desert god.

At that time, Rolos' first thought was to run.

However, he also thought about what if Seth knew about this matter.

There is a high probability that he will end up like Tequila God Mulan.

So he stayed to take care of this oasis obediently, and said that the desert god asked him to come and save them.

Seth naturally didn't know what Rolos was thinking, so he summoned a giant yellow sand bird with his magical power to protect this oasis.

Then, head to the nearest oasis that believes in him.

He remembered that the oasis was called the Duckweed Oasis.

The high priest among them is an interesting person. As the high priest, he controls every move of the clan leader.

Somewhat similar to Damses, but different.

Damses will respect and listen to the patriarch's actions, and in most cases will not interfere with the patriarch.

The biggest difference is age.

One is a young man, and the other is like a candle in the wind, and may die at any time.

The junction of desert and plains.

Isis and Osiris flew across the junction.

Then he saw corpses covered with black spots in the distance, an oasis without any living creatures.

"It's melasma." Isis stopped, her expression solemn.

Osiris frowned slightly: "It has already reached here."

"Shu's letter mentioned that this black spot disease was discovered only a few days ago."

Isis felt something strange: "When we changed the landscape yesterday, everything was normal in the oasis."

Hearing this, Osiris shook his head and said, "A few people may have gotten sick yesterday."

"Then all humans in the oasis will be infected."

"Indeed." Isis agreed with Osiris's speculation.

She looked at the oasis full of corpses and couldn't help but feel a little troubled.

The sudden death of life on a large scale without the birth of new life will have a certain impact on her authority.

It might affect her plan.

"Let's search for other oases along this oasis." Osiris suggested.

Isis looked back at the plain behind her and said worriedly: "At the current speed, the plain will soon be covered with black spot disease."

Osiris comforted Isis: "Don't worry, Sekhmet will heal everything."

Another junction between desert and plains.

A gust of wind swept the three people down to the plain, and then slowly dissipated.

The middle-aged men, elderly women, and young children who were taken to a strange land and left behind a familiar tribe were frightened and wanted to run away.

But all they could do was fall to the ground and wail in pain.

They were infected with Melasma and were in unbearable pain all over their bodies!
In mid-air, Shu and Sekhmet stood side by side.

Sekhmet mobilized his healing power and easily healed the three.

The body suddenly recovered, and the three of them were stunned for a long time. Then thank the Sun God and pray to the Sun God.

Shu stared at the three of them closely.

He could tell that Sekhmet had only healed three people.

There is no divine power attached to them.

According to previous experience, these three people will soon be infected with black spot again.

No more than one solar hour.

Thinking about it, Shu used his divine power to block their return to the desert.

After the middle-aged man recovered, he really wanted to take the two tribesmen back to the desert.

They still have relatives alive in the tribe.

However, no matter how hard we walked, we couldn't walk into the desert.

In addition, thinking that all the people in the tribe have been infected with black spot disease.

If they go back, they will definitely get infected again.

In this case, it is better to walk into the plain.

After expressing this idea, the old woman agreed.

"None of us know which direction the tribe is."

"It is better to seek survival on the plains than to die in the desert."

After speaking, the old woman took the child's hand and looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man found a wooden stick on the ground to defend himself and walked in front.

In mid-air, Shu and Sekhmet followed.

However, with an old man and a young child, they stopped and went.

After one solar hour, they had not gone far.

"Melasma has not returned." Sekhmet looked at Shu.

Shu naturally sees it, but the desert will kill all humans with black spot disease.

This is a serious matter and they must wait a little longer to prove that they will not be infected again.

"Wait a moment." Shu said.

Sekhmet said nothing.

Duck grass oasis.

Set stood above the oasis.

Looking at the empty oasis, I just feel confused.

Where have the people in this oasis gone?

Were they all killed by Melasma?
If so, the body should have been left behind.

While thinking about various possibilities, Seth perceived the entire oasis.

The next moment, he appeared in front of a temple engraved with complex patterns in the center of the oasis.

According to his perception, there were several corpses and a living person in the temple.

Seth walked into the temple.

The walls on both sides are painted with murals of the sun and humans.

Most intelligent races believe in the sun.

However, this is not the point.

In front of the sun-shaped statue, dozens of old people with black spots all over their bodies lay.

In front of these corpses, there was an old man leaning against the statue and breathing heavily.

He is the only remaining living person that Seth perceives.

Seth wants to know from him what happened to the Duckweed Oasis?

Was it invaded or something else happened? Why is the oasis empty?

However, Seth's eyes are now focused on the slightly smaller statue of Osiris next to the statue of the Sun God!
Yes, it’s the statue of Osiris!
Surprised, Seth looked around the two statues.

But I didn’t see his statue! ?
Doesn’t this oasis believe in him? !

Feeling betrayed, Seth's thoughts became scattered.

Negative emotions also came flooding back.

However, Seth quickly suppressed these.

Duckweed Oasis didn't necessarily betray him.

Maybe they were attacked by other oases, everyone was kidnapped, and the idols were replaced.

Or maybe they were captured by some evil god and made to perform blood sacrifices.

It's also possible that their entire tribe went out to play.

While imagining various possibilities, Seth walked towards the old man who was breathing heavily and was about to die of melasma.

Hearing the footsteps, the old man reluctantly opened his eyes.

Seeing Seth, he wanted to say something.

Unfortunately, he was tortured by Melasma and could no longer speak.

He could only utter some syllables with unclear meaning.

Seth mobilized his power and authority, and a divine power was given to the old man.

In the blink of an eye, the dark spots on the old man's body faded away, and his complexion became rosy.

Curing Melasma is very simple for any god.

The difficulty is that Melasma cannot be completely removed.

It takes God to expend energy and divine power to heal over and over again.

After the old man recovered, he looked at Seth with wide eyes, and then asked: "Who are you?"

Set was not surprised that the old man did not recognize him as a desert god.

After all, when he revealed his divine power, he was in his true form with the head of an animal and a human body.

The people of Duck Grass Oasis should only know his human appearance from the statue he gave him.

Associating the idol with him also embarrasses the elderly man.

"Where have all the people in Duck Grass Oasis gone?" Seth looked at the old man coldly.

The old man felt that the handsome and mysterious man in front of him was as scary as a monster.

He swallowed and said, "They moved away."

"Moved?" Seth raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, we moved." The old man explained the reason for fear that the man in front of him would be dissatisfied.

"The chiefs and priests decided to move the tribe to the plains."

"And no longer believe in desert gods, but instead believe in noble gods of agriculture."

"Dozens of us old guys couldn't make it in the desert, so we were left behind."

"They all died of weird, horrible diseases except me."

After speaking, the old man tried not to make any noise.

Because he felt anger and murderous intent from the man in front of him!
