【Temple of Osiris】

The kobold guards were also relieved after confirming that Han Dong was sent to the underworld normally.

Because of the primal fear that was hooked, this kobold completely lost his original solemn appearance.

Sitting on the ground, recalling the boiled egg head he had just seen, a chill rose from his heart.

Click~

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps.

The kobold, who was the caretaker of the temple, immediately made a battle look.

However, his scepter was completely shattered in the sudden incident just now, and his strength was greatly reduced...... Just as he was about to report to the company's top management, a familiar voice came.

"Don't be nervous, it's us."

"Mr. Kurosawa! and the high priest of Tutramon...... My lord, this is the most important area of the Osiris Company, and no one is allowed to enter it without the permission of the chairman or the pharaoh.

Please leave. ”

At this moment, one of the high priest's hands placed on the kobold's shoulder, and the primal fear hovering in the kobold's heart was dispelled.

"Thank you, High Priest of the Source of Terror."

"We were just curious about the [Journey to the Nine Gates] and came over to take a look...... After all, Nicholas was my apprentice priest.

And this time the assessment is also a little strange, it is actually carried out in the real underworld.

In other words, shouldn't all assessments be conducted in the imitation space of the Black Pyramid? ”

This is the direct meaning of the pharaoh and the chairman.

After all, we had already completed the production of [Netherworld] ten years ago, and five years ago, we had completely achieved the "Netherworld Transfer" of ordinary residents.

Although it is the first time that it has been used for assessment, there is definitely no problem with the stability of the underworld. ”

At this moment, the high priest showed a strange smile.

"I didn't think it was a problem at first, so I didn't refute anything.

Afterwards, under the reminder of Chief Engineer Kurosawa, I still thought of a rather serious problem, so I came to take a look. ”

The kobold guard hurriedly signaled, "Please rest assured of this.

Since Mr. Kurosawa personally instructed me, I will stay here and examine the state of the underworld the whole time.

If Nicholas encounters unfair treatment or additional trouble caused by the instability of the underworld during the assessment, I will intervene immediately. ”

"No...... I'm not worried about Nicholas.

What I'm worried about is the [Netherworld] that your Osiris Corporation spent a hundred years building with the help of the White Giant's biospace technology.

After all, the completion and normal operation of the underworld maximizes the "value" of the slaves of the Divine Capital, which is conducive to the overall development of the Divine Capital...... I don't want it to be gone. ”

"What does the high priest mean? The underworld is bound to our Osiris Company, how could it be that it is gone for no reason. ”

The kobold looked puzzled and continued, "We have tested the stability of the [Netherworld] countless times, and even the pharaoh himself has set foot on this land to personally verify the stability and reusability of the dead.

I don't quite understand what you mean. ”

"On the surface, Nicholas's entry may take the underworld out of control.

You should feel it, right?

There is a true god aura hidden in this young man's body, although it only exists in one arm and is not strong enough, which is fundamentally different from the "false god" we created.

As the high priest corresponding to the examiner, I naturally have to bear this responsibility.

Let me in, if Nicholas makes any unusual moves, I'll stop it in time. ”

As the high priest said this, the kobold also remembered the corpse mutation just now.

"[Netherworld] is a milestone in our expansion of the Divine Capital, and there must be no problems.

I'll have to report this to the chairman...... I appreciate the high priest's kindness, but you can't directly interfere in matters involving the underworld, which is against the company's rules. ”

"Hey, that's really rigid......"

See persuasion is ineffective.

The high priest gestured with his eyes to Chief Engineer Kurosawa beside him.

The latter, as the former chief manufacturer of Osiris and the physical designer of the kobold, naturally knows very well where the kobold's weakness lies.

Sou...... A nerve instantly connects to the back of the neck and gains control.

"Tutramon, once this thing is discovered...... Are you sure that you and I will be judged by Pharaoh? ”

"Nothing to hesitate about.

Pharaoh actually arranged the assessment of this journey of the Nine Gates directly in the real underworld, and he must have smelled the threat from Nicholas.

Knowing that he carries the true god attribute of [Anubis], he wants to get rid of the hidden danger in advance.

I estimate that the difficulty of this assessment is no longer nine doors, but the final weighing.

Other than that.

I've found out what happened in the [forbidden area], this kid can really pretend, every time he returns with a gray face, and even broken limbs, and deliberately comes back with a bunch of useful and useless garbage.

In fact, he must have somehow established a connection with the White Giant, and it was a relatively deep connection.

I've never seen such an interesting "stranger...... Since the current pharaoh is also ascending to the throne as a "stranger", it is better to support him.

Kurosawa, you must have made your choice early, right? Otherwise, he would not take the initiative to give up his identity as a chief engineer and hide in a civilian area. ”

Boss Kurosawa nodded, it was undeniable that he had a big opinion about the current pharaoh's power management.

"Then let's get started.

As the head of Nicholas, I naturally have to be 'responsible' for this matter as well...... Nothing [fair] can happen to him. ”

Let's talk about it.

Kurosawa took control of the kobold and stabbed the dagger into the high priest's chest.

In the same way, the high priest was placed in a coffin and sent to the world of the dead.

……

Hades.

Keep an eye on the ships carrying the dead away, and then follow the hints of the fate system and what you have seen and heard along the way.

Han Dong also roughly speculated about the nature and purpose of the underworld.

"I didn't expect that Shendu's biotechnology had reached this level and could create the 'underworld' by itself.

In other words, this [Netherworld] is essentially a consciousness space.

The so-called ritual is the removal of my soul.

In the absence of soul defense, through the consciousness device at the bottom of the coffin, my consciousness was transported to the consciousness space of the [Netherworld].

Design such an underworld.

On the surface, it seems to follow the gods of ancient Egypt.

In fact, it should also be a 'screening mechanism'...... After all, after a human dies, the brain will continue to survive for [five minutes]. With such a time, it is completely possible to extract the consciousness of the deceased alone and transport it to the underworld.

Through the experience of the journey in the underworld, it is determined whether the consciousness of the deceased is valuable to God.

If there is value, it can continue to be used by God...... The deceased will be granted 'eternal life' status at the final "weighing judgment".

In fact, it is to 'export' their consciousness to the underworld, and then 'import' their consciousness into a physical body through Shendu technology, and continue to contribute to the development of Shendu.

If it has no value, the subject will die in the judgment, and the corpse will be mummified and stacked in the [Great Burial Area] to suppress the contents below, which is considered to be the final value after death.

It is worthy of the development of biotechnology and the anti-devouring creator's divine capital.

Even the value of the dead must be completely drained...... It's such a 'wonderful' country, and I'm going to take it over." ”
