211. The examination has finally arrived
When Amon faced his other self, he raised his foot and stepped over the other side of the scale, and the two Amon fused together, feeling a throbbing of body and mind, as if he had been summoned by some irresistible summons. This was not the place he was supposed to be, Amun, who already had a ninth-level achievement, did not need to enter the underworld, and passing through this portal was actually a kind of realm seal, and he suddenly had a premonition that a test was coming.
At this moment, the surrounding scenery changed, and he entered a palace. The palace is on a large boat that floats down the river, and on both sides of it is a beautiful fertile land. There was a person sitting in the center of the palace of the high shipbuilding, just a cloud of light and shadow information that could be sensed by the detection of divine magic, hazy and distangible, he was the Osiris that Amon had seen in Schrödinger's soul imprint.
Amon found that the invisible ship under his feet was gone, turned into a rib and was collected by Osiris in front of him, and a voice sounded in his soul: "Whoever has come here, which god are you guiding the divine envoy? What is the purpose of driving the ship of the gods I left behind to meet me? I didn't see you carrying the token of the gods, did you trespass into Hades?"
Amun replied, "I have come to you to return your ribs, and to express my gratitude for the ship of the gods that you left behind, which has saved my life and helped me a lot." As he spoke, he bowed to Osiris.
Looking at his salutes and listening to what he said, it is obvious that he is not a divine envoy of the Nine Divine Systems. Osiris was shocked, "Who are you, how did you come to see me in the Ark of Hades!"
Amon was also puzzled, and hurriedly replied: "Don't you know, the goddess Isis is no longer there! The holy relics enshrined in the temple of Isis have long been lost, and I obtained this rib under the guidance of Schrödinger." He imprinted a complex and long message into Osiris's soul, the cause and effect were so complicated that Amon used almost the greatest force to explain Osiris in a single thought.
Then he heard Osiris's long sigh, filled with shock, regret, sorrow, and so on, and at the same time a message from Osiris was imprinted in his soul, explaining why the god of the underworld was so shocked.
Osiris was defeated by Seth, and the two agreed to hold a duel, and the loser would lose the main god position of the Nine Gods. At that time, An-la tried to stop the duel, saying that if he participated in the duel, the loser would not be allowed to enter the kingdom of God to recuperate. However, Osiris accepted Seth's challenge, and Seth struck a particularly heavy blow, nearly destroying the immortal deity.
There is a reason why Seth is ruthless, and if Osiris wins, he will not be polite to Seth either. Mortally wounded, Osiris could barely recover, but as a god, he wandered the world like an undead and became weaker and weaker. In order to reshape the gods, An-la allowed him to establish and control the Underworld of the Nine Divine Systems, and to attract the souls of the devotees of the human world.
Osiris's best skill is necromancy, so he became the god of the underworld in the nine-link god system, the only god who remained in the human world. Amon had seen the Book of the Dead that he had passed on to Best, and the experience of entering Hades today was like turning page after page in the Book of the Dead. A god who is about to dissipate wants to reshape the physical anomaly unless he can reach the realm of the "Creator" before he can fully recover.
However, becoming a creator is also extremely difficult for the gods, and it is not something that can be achieved by cultivating, it requires all kinds of chances and luck, and it also needs to be realized and confirmed over a long period of time. Void creations come from the insight of the soul, which comes out of nothing, but for the gods they cannot be accomplished out of thin air. Osiris observed in the underworld to observe the soul traces of the living beings in the world, which is also his cultivation.
It took him a long time to completely refine his soul and the underworld a hundred years ago, and he entered a very important stage of cultivation, and since then he has not been able to leave, and all the information from the outside world can only be known from the souls who have entered the underworld. To this day, he didn't know that Isis was gone, that Hades' rib had been stolen, or that Best had left.
What happened in the Eju Empire, such as the death of Isis's patron saint in battle with the demons who descended to the temple, the implementation of monotheistic reform by Pharaoh Elahet, the recent transformation of the temple of Isis into the temple of Seth, and the fact that a demon named "Satan" beheaded the idol of Seth everywhere, etc., Osiris is clear.
Amon was surprised and asked, "Is it true that no one in the soul of Hades knows these things?"
Osiris asked, "You have come to find the soul of Mary, but did you know that the soul of the Great Achiever can disperse without entering Hades?"
Amon had been prepared before he came, he knew that there was little hope of finding Mary's soul here, and he thought that in the underworld of Anunaki, he had seen the spirits of the miners of Durk, including Mayor Dattis and his own father, but there was no old madman. Those of the Great Achievers in the Divine Realm who have clear aspirations and beliefs, and whose bodies and souls merge can resist the call of Hades when they pass away, unless they voluntarily accept the judgment of Hades.
Naturally, the old madman of the year was reluctant to enter Hades after death, and it seems that Mary was not willing either.
Amon nodded and replied, "I've thought of this for a long time, but I still need to come here to feel at ease." I wonder if you haven't heard of the theft of the ribs of the god Hades, didn't even Pharaoh know about it back then? I have met Pharaoh Lassis II himself, he did not achieve great things, and his soul should have entered Hades after his death. ”
Osiris replied, "It was a scandal in the temple, and it was very secretive, and it was only natural that the high priests did not want the pharaoh to know about his dereliction of duty. I know that there was a great magician who took the Holy Maiden, and the Eju Empire did not officially announce the truth, but I did not know that he also stole the ribs of the god of the underworld at that time, and the pharaoh did not fully know. The soul of Lasis II did come to Hades, the pharaoh himself who had died in the murder of a usurper, and who did not know everything about the kingdom during his lifetime. ”
Amon was amazed: "Lassis II died in the murder of the usurper! Who killed him?"
Osiris said in a deep voice: "As a god of the underworld, I know too many secrets in the world, but the god of the underworld has the principles of the god of the underworld, and these secrets only belong to the deceased. I will tell you so much because of your challenge to Seth, but I will never tell you the buried secrets of the deceased. You are not here for Lasis II, take advantage of the opportunity I am willing to talk to you, and speak quickly if there is anything!"
Amon brought quite shocking news to Osiris, and one can imagine how shocked Osiris would be, but listening to his tone, after a brief moment of surprise, he became unfazed. It is no wonder that as a god of the underworld, he has already seen through too many things in the world, including all the secrets that he wants to see and what he does not want to see, and all kinds of ulterior or appalling experiences, the heart of this god of the underworld will no longer be easily moved by anything, let alone show too many emotions in front of Amon.
Amon bowed again and said, "I want to ask for the secret of the soul, can I find Mary?"
Osiris replied unhurriedly, "You know enough, as a ninth-level great magician like her, the deceased soul can dissipate directly into heaven and earth without coming to me, and may still have some kind of wish." That wish may not be fulfilled in the new life, and the new life will not be as she imagined, but it will have a wonderful connection.
Even if a new creature appeared, it would no longer be her, or even a person again! I don't know the point of your search, but I don't think it's meaningful. You have that tear of the gods with the imprint of her soul, but only Maria herself can open it, so that's a guide.
If you have this desire, you may be able to see that new creature one day, and if you can open the soul traces in the tears of the gods with your magic for her to see, then you have found the right person. But I can make a hypothesis, if somebody showed you a life experience and told you that it was what they were looking for you, what would you think? ”
Amon was stunned for a long time, he didn't get more answers from Osiris, only clarified what Horus had said, but Osiris's last question made him figure out a lot of things, and after a long time, he sighed: "I understand, thank you for the question, I don't deliberately force this matter anymore." ...... Great god of the underworld, why can't I see your face clearly?"
Osiris asked, "Why do you close your eyes? ”
Amon has always had his eyes closed until now, and it makes no difference to him whether he opens his eyes or not, with his eyes closed, he can see everything around him clearly with his soul, and he can see things that mortals can't see. The Osiris he saw was in the form of an undead spirit, and did not reshape the form of the gods.
When he raised his head and opened the eyes of mortals, he finally saw the god of the underworld on the throne, his face was young, he had a long wavy beard, a high white crown on his head, a club-like scepter in his left hand, and a jar in his right hand. This is the image of Osiris, which Amun had seen in the temple.
Osiris' eyes were as calm and undisturbed as the abyss, as if leading to the unforgiving darkness. Seeing Amon raise his head and look at him, Osiris said again, "I have already given you the answer, do you have any questions?"
Amon looked him in the eye and asked, "Why did you treat Best like that?"
Osiris's expression was slightly excited, and he said in a mocking tone: "Is it necessary for me to answer such a question of yours? What do you want to ask me? What kind of reproach should I receive for guiding a stray cat to become the goddess of Best? As for the final question of her mission and what happened to her, you yourself were once the general of Eju, and have anyone ever asked you why you let your soldiers go to war?"
These are beyond reproach, Amon sighed and asked, "Best should thank you, but she is also the most outstanding divine envoy in the Nine Divine Systems, and has completed all the difficult missions. It's just that in the end, when she fails in the 'examination of fate, the judgment of the end,' why did you do that to her?"
Osiris replied coldly, "I gave her a choice, and you know better than me the choice she made in the end. ”
Amon said, "What she can do herself, and what you can't stop, doesn't ask you to give her a choice." You've had her give her soul to merge into your own soul, or to cultivate in a state like yours that resembles an undead soul, providing another kind of confirmation for your exploration. I wanted to ask why, but seeing the way you are now, I understand a little bit. ”
Osiris's voice became agitated again: "This is my cultivation, do you think it is so simple to have the achievements of the Creator? You need to have almost infinite insight in your soul, and how many long years do you need to leave the imprint of all things! You need to refine your soul in this world in order to open up another world in your soul."
I have refined my soul with Hades, and integrated it into the experiences of so many people, do you think it is a good thing, and I have endured it for so long! I had asked Best to give her soul imprint, but it was not an order, she made the choice to refuse, but she was trapped in the oath of the Nine Divine Systems, until she finally gave up and left. ”
Amon looked at the god of the underworld and suddenly shook his head: "Osiris, I have nothing to blame for you, and Schrödinger has nothing to complain about, she did make her own choice. In fact, I also know some gods who are truly beyond eternal life, they only enjoy eternal life in the kingdom of God, and do not force themselves to do anything more, and you are still cultivating hard in the underworld.
I have also been to the Hades of Anunnaqi, and it is indeed inferior to your Nine Links Hades, and the Hades King Erebi is not as good as you. But I want to say that your cultivation may not be as good as the choice made by Best, and even less than Isis's wishes. While Best isn't a transcendent deity, I think her final choice may be more meaningful than your original choice.
If, as you said, there is a new life, why not choose a new life? The most valuable thing to increase one's knowledge in the world is one's own personal experience and confirmation. While that might have left you lost forever, it seemed like a fall, it seemed like you had given up on eternal life, and the god named Osiris might never be there, but it might be closer to the true origin of the gods. ”
Osiris was stunned, and was stunned for a long time before he said in a low tone: "Do you think?
Amon shook his head again: "Although I am not a god who is truly beyond eternal life, this does not prevent me from thinking about what kind of existence a god is. At least in my eyes, Mary is more representative of the splendor of the divine surname than you, Bisset, and Horus, even though she is only a mortal. ”
Osiris frowned, and was about to ask something when his expression suddenly changed. Amon's expression also changed, and he felt that some terrifying power was locking his breath, and even this magical underworld space could not block it. I saw Osiris wave his staff and say, "I don't know whether to congratulate you or sympathize with you, but you can't stay here any longer!"
Everything in front of him suddenly disappeared, and the space shifted to form a persecuting force, forcing Amon out of his foothold. By the time he saw everything around him again, he had reached a desolate tidal flat deep in the Ronnie Delta. Half submerged by the river, this large tidal flat is a seasonal island between the fan-shaped tributaries of the lower Ronnie River, with knee-high soft-stemmed grass growing on all sides.
Amon entered the underworld twice, the first time he was almost detained by Anunnaqi's Hades King Erebi, risking life and death to forcibly escape; It seems that Osiris still has something to ask Amun, but the unexpected situation came too suddenly!
Amon appeared on the tidal flats between the rivers, and before he had time to think about anything else, he looked up and saw a large gray whirlpool appear in the sky. It was not a wind-swept cloud, but a gap that seemed to lead to the depths of the infinite unknown, full of great fear of the unknown. As soon as he stood still, he was firmly locked by a terrifying aura around him, and he couldn't dodge it no matter what.
The examination of fate and the judgment of the last day have finally arrived!
Amun had witnessed the fall of Enqidu and understood the process from Schrödinger's soul imprints, but he did not expect that this final test would come so quickly today. Amon swung the blade of order towards the sky for the first time, and the silver arc light cut open a spatial rift, as if he was in another space that was divided, if this was a fighting method, it was the most clever dodge.
At the same moment, a black lightning bolt slashed out from the gray vortex, spiraling with countless forks and instantly arrived in front of Amun's eyes, ignoring the barrier of the spatial rift. Amon only felt that his whole body was hot, and his clothes instantly turned into flying ashes, revealing the soft armor of the scorpion shell that he was wearing. The shiny scorpion shell shards emitted a blue smoke light, and soon there were traces of shattering.
In the smoke and light emitted by the scorpion shell, Amon actually felt the breath of the poisonous smoke of the desert, from those black lightning entanglements. The battle axe in his hand had already danced into a ball of silver light, and countless spatial rifts spread out like spider webs, as if he was experiencing the fiercest battle in his life. The opponent is invisible but can be felt, as if it were another Amon on the other side of the great scales in Hades.
The power contained in the black lightning was as powerful as his, and every emissary facing such a test should feel that way. But the black lightning didn't have any fighting or attacking skills, it was up to Amon to bear it. If that's all there is to it, there is no need to be afraid of Amon, he is more than just powerful.
However, there are countless forks in the black lightning, each of which contains a familiar attack, the strength of which is uncertain, and it is not issued at the same time, but it is constantly attacking, there is no direction and angle to speak of, Amon has to use a strong body and excellent reaction to resist.
In the gray vortex of the sky, there was a tremor that continued to hear, penetrating deep into the soul and causing an irresistible resonance. It was the rebellion of the creatures encountered in Amon's life against his desires, a diffuse spiritual attack.
