276, a deflated cat
Typhon grinned at Artemis, and after a long time exclaimed, "Beat, it's you?......! How did you become a goddess again, this can't be!"
Best imprinted a message directly into Typhon's soul, explaining the cause and effect of the incident. Typhon said in a tone of disbelief: "It turns out that you have long been the goddess Artemis of the Olympian god line, but you have cultivated and verified the achievements of the creator by re-entering the human world?
Artemis sneered: "Where is he a penance, he is running away! Do you think that hiding in the underworld is the god who owns this world? Typhon, you said that Osiris must want to see me, is this an excuse to open the door to the underworld for me?"
Typhon smiled bitterly and said, "Even if Lord Hades doesn't want to see you, the main god Amun is here, can I stop it?" After speaking, he turned around and waved his hand, opening a mysterious portal, and Amon and Artemis walked in side by side.
Osiris is a god guided by the Nine Gods, and he created Hades to attract the undead who believe in the Nine Gods, and he is also showing the existence of the gods to the undead in some way. When you enter Hades, a message will be imprinted into your soul: "The horizon that can only be seen forever has finally come to your feet." ”
Amun had been here before, and just before he ushered in the "examination of fate and the judgment of the last day", in the darkness he watched a round of red screams in the distance, in which a cat was fighting with a snake, symbolizing the creation and creation of the world and the establishment of the Nine Divine Kingdoms. The two of them walked into this round of red talk, and a world of heaven and earth unfolded in front of them, demonstrating the various scenes of the birth of the Nine Divine Systems.
After passing through the portals, at the end of this path, a sentence can be heard in the soul: "Enter the world of the god of the underworld, please give your eyes and heart!" At this time, the actions of all the dead in their lives are clearly reproduced in the soul like a river of repetition, and no one can deceive themselves, let alone the god of the underworld.
The undead will then walk up a great scale, and on the other side will come another self, symbolizing both all the world's impressions of him and all the traces he has left on the departed world.
This balance is actually made of an artifact, and it is also the center of the entire Osiris Hades, supporting the enchantment space of Hades. When Amon and Artemis stepped up to the scales, they were greeted not by two other identical gods, but by the god Osiris who was holding a staff.
The appearance of this god of the underworld has not changed, wearing a high white crown and a long wavy beard, he did not salute Amun, but nodded slightly: "We meet again, congratulations on your achievement!"
Amon asked, "How do you know about my accomplishments?"
Osiris replied, "I have no difficulty guessing what has happened since the collapse of the idols of Seth in all the land of Eju, and the oracles of the kind have been issued by the city-states, and the spirits of the dead have brought the news to Hades. It's just a little bit of a wonder why the oracle says that Allah is Amun's name, and that you really killed Seth?"
Artemis suddenly interjected: "Osiris, no wonder you came here to greet you, you have a question and want to ask. Seeing that the Lord God was still putting up such a big shelf, he didn't even salute!"
Osiris replied, "Goddess, are you a new deity to the kingdom of God? I have been away from the kingdom of God for too long, so please forgive me for not knowing you." I used to be the main god of the Nine Divine Gods, why do I have to salute this new main god when I see him?"
Amon smiled: "What you said is that I just killed Seth and became the main god for a few days, and you were already the main god of the Nine Divine System thousands of years ago, judging from this experience, it should be me who salutes you." Hades-sama, okay?"
As he spoke, Amon bowed to Osiris. And Osiris knelt down and prostrate on the ground to return a very grand gift. Artemis asked, "Hades, what are you doing so solemnly at this moment?"
Osiris stood up and replied, "Because Amon has killed Seth, he has just confirmed the news himself, and Seth is my enemy. Then he said to Amun, "Lord God, why did you come to Hades?"
Amon smiled again: "You can't hide here, if I want to see you, I can only come in by myself." ”
Artemis seemed to have come to find fault today, and suddenly interjected: "Osiris, you are really pathetic! You still remember that you are the main god of the Nine Links a thousand years ago, and you don't bow to the current main god. And you are very pitiful, and you bow down because Amon has killed Seth, and you have to thank him for the gift he brought you. You only have hatred for Seth in your heart, and even if you defeat Seth, you will not be able to get rid of it, which shows that you will never be as good as Seth!"
Osiris said with an angry face: "This goddess, I don't know you, and I'm not interested in your identity. But be careful when you speak in front of me, and say that I will never be as good as Seth!"
Artemis pouted: "Am I not right, I used to think that you were a high and mysterious god of the underworld, but now it is clear that you are nothing but a pathetic and pathetic fellow! He's a tragedy, and you?
You shut yourself off in the underworld to escape the outside world, drawing on the power of the undead to heal your wounds. Do you think you're okay with this? You don't even want to go out of Hades to face Seth, you don't even know anything about what is going on in the Kingdom of God, and you can only get specious news from the undead who have come to Hades. ”
Osiris shouted angrily: "At that time, An-la demanded that if there was a duel between Seth and me, the losing side would not be allowed to return to the kingdom of God to heal his wounds, so I stayed in Hades. Those gods in the Nine Divine Kingdom, they also do not set foot in the human world, but only stay in the eternal world of the Divine Kingdom. And I have been contemplating the soul traces of everyone in the world, is this also a tragedy?"
The sneer on Artemis' face was even stronger: "O god of the underworld, are you angry or are you justifying yourself? It is true that there are gods in the Nine Divine Kingdoms who no longer set foot in the human world, but their desire is to enjoy eternal life. And what about you? You want to be the Creator, you want to defeat Seth again, and you seem to be trying all the time in Hades, but there is no hope for this so-called effort, and you know it best in your own heart! This is not a tragedy, what is a tragedy?"
Osiris pointed his staff at Artemis and said to Amun, "Who is she, why did you bring her here and talk to me like this? I don't know this goddess, and I'm not interested in her words!"
Amon smiled bitterly: "You didn't recognize it, since she didn't say it herself, I can't tell you, otherwise it will make her unhappy." In fact, why do you care who she is, just listen to what she says to make sense?"
Amon didn't tell Osiris who Artemis was and why he had come to Hades to scold Hades so much, he didn't want to upset her, but he didn't care if Osiris was happy or not.
Artemis's eyes were even more sarcastic, and he pointed at Osiris and asked like arrows, "Who am I, does it make a difference to you? Do you feel very relaxed now, and you have a feeling of finally being liberated? Because Seth has fallen, and the main god of the Nine Divine Sect has also changed." The thousand-year-old shadow that weighed on your heart is gone, and you can finally come out of the underworld to meet people. But I want to ask, you have become a god of the underworld for a thousand years, you should know what you are doing this for? Don't you think all this is ridiculous now, what is the point of your existence?"
Osiris shouted angrily: "I am still the god of the Nine Divine Systems, I don't need you to point fingers here!"
Artemis burst out laughing, and a message was imprinted into Osiris's soul, she did not say who she was, but introduced a series of changes between the gods after Amon left Hades last time, focusing on Amon's achievements and An-La's request to Amun, which was also an answer to the question that Osiris had raised when they first met.
Her laughter was like a sharp blade, and her voice pierced Osiris's soul, and she asked coldly: "The god of the Nine Divine Systems, you still don't know the situation, don't you know that the Nine Divine Lines are about to cease to exist? An-la is the name of Amon, and the Nine Divine Kingdom will be integrated into Amon's heavenly kingdom, where do you go?"
Osiris was shocked on the spot, and after a long time bowed to Amon and said, "You have done what I have not done, you have done it, An-La has not broken through the realm, you have broken through, Isis has not verified the achievement, you have verified." It all happened after you left Hades, and when you say goodbye, you will have inherited the promise of the creator god to the nine gods. ”
Amun's purpose was to persuade Osiris to accept his guidance and become an angel in heaven. This is not a surrender of allegiance between mortals, it requires a true vow in the soul, which can neither be forced nor disguised. And listening to Osiris's words, he seemed to have already moved, and it was up to Amun to give him new guidance.
Artemis stopped his words and shouted: "Osiris, what kind of guidance do you want to receive? Your soul is at a loss in this underworld, and what have you been seeking for years of so-called penance, have you figured it out? It was in this underworld that Amon ushered in the final test, and it was you who sent him out of the underworld with your ** force, and then do you know what happened?"
When Seth came, he stood at the mouth of the Ronnie River, waiting for Amun's chance to return to earth and kill him. And Enril of the Anuna Enlightenment Department also came, and he was in a state of embarrassment with Seth. What were you doing? They are just outside your Hades, and you shut yourself off in this so-called world of the Underworld.
I sensed that it was not good to find Amun in the immortal eternity, protect him and heal him, and the goddess Mu Yun tried the method of summoning and summoned Amun to the plain of Duke. You retreat in the underworld, absorbing the soul traces of the dead, thinking that you are cultivating, thinking that you have everything under control, but in fact you are running away from everything.
Now that Amon has killed Seth, is it really your relief?An-la asked Amon to merge with the Nine Divine Kingdoms, and the gods needed to be able and willing to accept Amon's guidance. Seth has been cut down, but the only obstacle has become you, because you are hiding in this underworld and know nothing. All living beings in the world may have a meaning for their existence, but you, who have transcended eternal life, have become a superfluous god!"
Osiris finally couldn't help but ask directly, "Who are you?"
Amun interjected an inexplicable sentence next to him: "Hades, what kind of gods we will become depends on how we look at living beings. ”
Osiris seemed to be awakened, looked at Artemis and said in amazement: "Best, you are Best!"
Artemis imprinted another message into Osiris's soul, explaining what had happened, and glaring at him, "I'm Best, what can you do? Don't look at me like that, please look at Amon and look at yourself." A mortal challenged Seth on earth and came here on the Ark of Hades.
He's gone out of here, he's back, and what are you doing? Your existence is meaningless, and you're even more redundant today. Your illusory vow to establish Hades has come to an end, and you want to know how all this happened?
Amon asked Osiris why he treated Bester like that in Hades, and once said something to Hades: "Osiris, I have no reproach against 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. ”
At that time, Osiris asked Amon contemptuously: "You actually want to instruct a god in his cultivation?"
Now this conversation resounded in the soul again, as if it were the voice just now, but the situation has changed. Amon beheaded Seth, and Osiris became a redundant existence in the Nine-Linked Divine Kingdom, and needed to be guided by Amon. And what kind of guidance Amon can give him, in fact, it was said at the time, it depends on whether Osiris obeys and how can he follow?
Artemis came to Hades without starting a conflict with Osiris, but the question just now was tantamount to forcing the existence of a god to be questioned again. Osiris let out a long sigh, and his body turned into a cloud of black smoke that dispersed in all directions, and the invisible black smoke also passed through the figures of Amon and Artemis.
Amon shook before he stood firm, he felt Osiris's soul imprints, including all the cultivation seals before and after Osiris became a god of the underworld, as well as what he thought in his life, and he heard Osiris's last voice: "I don't know where I will go, and the soul imprints will also be dispersed, leaving only this last state of mind." I don't want to go to your heavenly kingdom, and I don't want to be a superfluous existence among the gods of the Nine Alliances. If there is still a possibility of becoming an unknown, I don't even want to see you again. ”
Osiris departed like this, and the result may be stunning. He is the god of the underworld, and he is also the god who knows the soul the most among the nine gods, and his last words express a very complex meaning - the death of mortals, there may also be a new rebirth of the soul, and when the new beings are fortunate enough to survive the endless trials of life, they will also glimpse the traces of the past souls and feel all kinds of mysterious causes and consequences. But the gods are different, because they are already beyond eternal life, and once they fall, there will be no more gods in the world.
There may be a new life in the world, or it may never be, but in any case, the soul of that god no longer exists. If a new creature appears, it may only be vaguely aware of the state of mind when it was first lost. Even if this creature could once again attain transcendence from eternal life, it would be a different god entirely.
Osiris's situation was different from Artemis' back then. Artemis did not fall, she only came to earth as a new soul and became a cat, and when her sealing was fulfilled or the cat's life ended, Artemis would return to the kingdom of Olympus. Osiris was gone, and the deity ceased to exist.
Amon turned his head to look at Artemis and asked, "Are you relieved?"
In the eyes of the world, it is unbelievable that Osiris, the god of the underworld, was scolded by Artemis for "death". Artemis's expression at this moment was quite like Schrödinger's, and he puffed out his cheeks and replied: "That is his own choice, and when he faces my questioning, it is like my original situation." I'm just paying him back, and I don't mean to persecute him!"
Amon sighed, "I did not intend to persecute Osiris, but only to persuade him to accept another kind of guidance and attain true liberation. And you're good enough, and he was killed by a few words. But from the source of grievances, it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong. ”
Artemis shrunk his shoulders, half-turned and buried his face in Amun's chest and said, "How can Schrödinger be so powerful? You came to solve the problem, didn't Osiris kill himself to solve the problem? Now that the god of the underworld has fallen, what are you going to do with this underworld?"
Amon stretched out his right hand and patted her on the back and said, "You only cared about getting angry, but you didn't pay attention to the changes around you. ”
