Chapter 8: The Dark Forces I

The space inside the secret door was not large, and there were not many strange things placed inside, just a large dark golden pharaoh's coffin-like metal base.

But the familiar seven grooves on it made Atum exclaim.

"What is this? Do you say ......"

"You guessed it right," Amon walked in first, "This is the base of the seven thousand-year-old artifacts, which were originally cultivated together with the seven thousand-year-old artifacts, although it is only a base, but it also has great power. It took me a lot of work to move it completely from the village of Kruelna. ”

"The village of Kruerna? So what? Also, wasn't the thousand-year-old artifact made by our father? Why didn't I know there was a pedestal? ”

Atum walked in casually, stretched out his hand and stroked the base, and indeed sensed the power of the same origin as the Millennium Building Block.

"Well, maybe in the eyes of our father, this is not a particularly important matter, plus he is ashamed of this matter, so you naturally don't know." Amon replied with a hint of sarcasm.

"Then how do you know..... Yes, after all, what can be hidden from your wisdom! ”

Atum praised Amon a little, and then asked, "Then my royal brother, can you tell me the secret behind all this?" ”

Amon did not sell his son, but replied, "As you wish, my brother." The thousand-year-old artifact is the creation of dark alchemy, and its manufacturing process is extremely bloody, and the blood sacrifice of hundreds of people in the village of Kruelna is communicated with the power of the [Underworld], which is why our father is reluctant to tell others about these secrets. ”

"I see!" Atum bowed his head and said, "However, only a few hundred people were sacrificed in blood, and such a powerful thousand-year-old artifact could be obtained, thus defending Egypt again and again, this village of Kruelna really deserved to die, is there anything to feel guilty about our father?" ”

Amon was a little speechless when he heard this, but in retrospect, this was the era of a primitive slave society, coupled with the power of a thousand-year-old artifact, the power of the pharaoh was infinitely powerful, and it was nothing to die a few hundred people.

Even on Earth, didn't Pharaoh Khufu send 100,000 slaves to build his pyramid for twenty years? The number of people who died during the construction of this project, even a fraction of the number of people who made the thousand-year artifact sacrifice!

"Maybe it's because my father doesn't want others to know about it, so he can find out how to make the thousand-year-old artifact!" Amon thought about it and suggested another possibility.

"Well, that's right, I remember that before you were born, one day, my father suddenly sent someone to destroy all those alchemy-related books, thinking that it was also to prevent other villains from snooping on the secrets, so as to copy the thousand-year-old artifact." Atum agreed.

, it's true, what the "plot" is really unreliable, but fortunately, I didn't plan to follow any "plot" at the beginning.

Think about the original work, the author of [Yu-Gi-Oh] Takahashi Sensei wrote in the manga that Atum's father would become ill because of this guilt, and he died soon after.

But in fact, there is a bug in this plot, because Atum's father (I know you won't want to know the name of this thing, but I also want to say, you think I don't know, this unlucky ghost who died and was dug up by someone to dig up the corpse is called Akkanan, and the name has the meaning of the sun god of the morning Atum, which complements his son the sun god of twilight, Atum. )

Because in the plot, it is said that Atum's father died of illness soon after because of the sin behind the thousand-year-old artifact, and after his death, Atum succeeded to the throne, and then Atum faced the King of Thieves, the Dark High Priest and the Dark Great Evil God.

In other words, when Atum took the throne, he was probably already a teenager, that is, fourteen or fifteen years old, the age of our junior high school.

But in fact, in Atum's recollections, in the plot where he was with his father when he was a child, his father had a thousand-year building block around his neck.

Therefore, this illness caused by guilt and died "soon" later, and how long this "soon" was is very debatable.

Of course, if you want to know that the king of a slave dynasty will feel guilty for sacrificing hundreds of people, is it too much to think about it.

The average life expectancy of the ancients was short, and isn't it normal to live a hiccup in your sixties?

Therefore, the original "plot" has actually been "artistically processed and beautified" in many places, which does not conform to the actual logic at all, and can only be referred to but not fully believed.

Amun's mind was full of thoughts, but the reality was only a few tens of seconds later, and he spoke again.

"Well, in short, and then our father used the power of the thousand-year-old artifact to destroy the enemy army many times, although he has been invincible, he doesn't know the hidden dangers behind it."

"Every destruction of the enemy army is a grand blood sacrifice, and in this blood sacrifice of more than 100,000 people, a terrifying and evil being was conceived by the [Underworld]."

"He is the Lord of the Underworld, the Great Dark God, Zoke Nelofa."
