The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 513: Heavenly Punishment
After hearing the rustling sound, Ryan and Hermione stood on the altar and looked towards the depths of the ruins where the sound was coming from. They saw bulges appearing one after another on the sand, which grew bigger and bigger until they reached waist height. Then they burst open, and countless palm-sized black scarabs poured out from these places like a tide.

"Wither." Hermione decisively recited a spell in High Valyrian, and the black mist that had been released from her fingers quickly formed a thick wall of mist around the altar.

Although those scarabs had been sealed for many years, they were still living things. Even though they could get into people's bodies and bite them, they were still just insects, and the life force contained in each of them was very weak. In this case, they quickly lost their lives after breaking into the fog wall full of death power set up by Hermione. In a few minutes, a wall made of scarab corpses was built high around the altar.

Just as the scarabs began to slowly reduce their attacks on the defense line, a heavy sound of footsteps was heard. A large number of mummies swarmed out from the various exits of the ruins and ran towards the altar. Among them were ancient monks with fat bodies and clumsy movements. There were also guards wearing rusty armor and holding shiny weapons.

Because they were already dead, the outer defense line was not effective against these mummies. After watching them break through the black fog of death, Ryan said in Quenya: "The sun is shining."

Under the stimulation of magic, eight large pits filled with sunlight crystals released dazzling sunlight at the same time. This was the power of the sun, which had absolute control over these mummies, not to mention that it was noon in the desert. Taking advantage of the weather, these sunlight formed an indestructible golden barrier around the altar. Every mummy melted into this sunlight at the fastest speed after entering it, and no mummy could touch the edge of the altar.

Finally, the sun reached its highest point. Ryan looked at the scarabs and mummies that were still attacking the defense line relentlessly, shook his head slightly, and then stood in the center of the altar and chanted a spell.

"The spirit of Jiao Ji, the gods Jia and Yi. Raise the waves and encourage the clouds and thunder to rise quickly..." As Ryan raised his hands and chanted the spell, black clouds appeared out of thin air in the sky, and finally slowly gathered into a large area above Hamunaptra that completely blocked the scorching sun at noon.

There was a rumbling sound coming from the clouds, and at the same time, purple light could be seen appearing and disappearing in the clouds. Even standing on the altar, Ryan could feel the powerful energy contained in the clouds.

When the last word of the spell was uttered, Ryan felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him. At this time, Hermione, who was in tune with him, had withdrawn the outer circle of fog composed of the power of death, and at the same time activated the eternal fire in the ring to form a protective shield with white light on her body.

Seeing that everything was ready, Ryan slowly lowered his right hand that had been raised high, and then stretched out his index and middle fingers to point at the mummy Imhotep lying in the coffin.

Boom boom... In an instant, the clouds in the sky took shape. In the next moment, the sky above the entire Hamunaptra Ruins was covered by the lightning of heavenly punishment. In the vision of Evelyn and her brother not far from the gate of the ruins and the guards standing on the distant cliff who were attracted, everything they saw was now covered with golden purple lightning.

"Is this a wizard?" Jonathan exclaimed as he looked at the ancient ruins that had turned into a sea of ​​thunder. "This looks like the power of a god. Can a human really do this?" However, he did not receive any response, because at this time, his sister Evelyn was also looking at the ruins filled with thunder in front of her with a shocked expression.

In the perception of everyone outside the ruins, every time they looked at the dark thunderclouds, they felt an instinctive fear from the depths of their souls.

With a bang, a ball of shining light burst out from the sea of ​​thunder in the sky. This meant that the punishment from heaven had truly begun. Unlike the fake punishment from heaven that Ryan had created in his second year, this real punishment from heaven was very powerful even at the beginning. Soon, the sea of ​​thunder in the sky gathered the first wave of attacks and locked onto the mummy on the altar, followed by dozens of thunderbolts pouring down.

In the coffin on the altar, Imhotep, the target of the thunderbolt, also felt the impending disaster. However, without being resurrected by the Black Book of the Dead, the power he could use was very small, but even so, the power of the resentful souls accumulated over 3000 years should not be underestimated.

Ryan only felt a shrill roar coming from his soul, and then a human face made of black smoke suddenly flew out of the coffin and directly met the thunder from the sky. Then a series of rumbling explosions rang out in the sky. When the sound stopped, both the thunder and the human face disappeared, and the mummy of Immorton in the coffin was safe and sound. "This--" Hermione looked at this scene in amazement, but Ryan soon comforted her through the mental connection: "It's okay, this kind of heavenly punishment is 7749 times, and the power is constantly increasing. I don't believe this mummy can withstand it all."

Sure enough, while they were talking, the thunderclouds in the sky began to slowly rotate, and soon more lightning flew out of the vortex in the thunderclouds and headed straight for the mummy lying in the coffin. Naturally, this time Imhotun still mobilized the surrounding death aura to block the lightning. However, a very small part of the extra power of heavenly punishment directly hit the mummy. Ryan discovered through his sky eye that part of the black fog of death that originally wrapped around the mummy was directly annihilated by the power of heavenly punishment.

It seems that the punishment from heaven is indeed the nemesis of this evil force! Ryan thought as he waved his left hand in the air and drew a few runes. The sunlight crystals that were previously arranged around were collectively activated. Then the wall of light that originally surrounded the altar began to rise continuously, and finally directly connected to the low black clouds. From a distance, it looked like a golden pillar of light like a pillar of heaven.

Under the effect of these sunlight crystals, the black mist around Imhotep's mummy was constantly dissipated. When the sixth heavenly punishment fell, Imhotep's face made of black mist was directly shattered by the thunder of heavenly punishment, and part of the thunder directly hit the mummy.

The place where the mummy was hit by the thunder of heaven's punishment turned into charcoal in an instant. Although the power of death restored part of the body to its original state, the fist-sized area around the point that was directly hit could not be restored no matter what.

Gradually, under the continuous attack of the thunderbolt of heavenly punishment, more and more parts of the Immorton mummy became like charcoal, and finally even the whole body was completely turned into ash under the thunderbolt. Only a ball of thick black smoke like solid material floated above the altar, resisting the attack of heavenly punishment.

From time to time, a human face would emerge from the thick black smoke and roar loudly. As he roared, the fish that had escaped Hermione's summons just now swarmed out. But in the face of heavenly punishment, both the mummies and the scarabs were too fragile. Just a little bit of the aftermath of the thunder completely wiped these things out of this world.

Finally, as the last three thunderbolts of heavenly punishment fell, the thick black smoke and the last traces of Imhotep in this world were completely destroyed, along with the holy urn and the coffin. When the thunderclouds dispersed, the ruins of Hamunaptra became quiet again, with only a thick layer of black ash on the ground and the bare rammed earth altar indicating what had just happened.

Just when Ryan thought everything was over, a golden ball like the sun and a black ball as black as ink rose from the Sun Golden Scripture and the Dead Black Scripture placed on the altar. The two balls spun a few times on the altar and disappeared into the sky. At the same time, Ryan heard a grand and cold voice in his mind: "Thank you for removing the evil spirits from this land, and let dust return to dust, and earth return to earth. Purple Immortal God's Blessing, all the wealth here is now yours."

"What is that?" Hermione asked, looking in the direction where the two balls disappeared.

"These are the divine powers contained in the two scriptures. It's a good thing that they left on their own initiative. Otherwise, we really can't use these things that contain the power of other gods with peace of mind." As someone who has seen the power of gods, Ryan immediately recognized what the two light balls that flew away represented. This also made him finally understand why Evelyn and Jonathan in the movie could cast magic just by reciting the spell even though they didn't have any magic power.

The last voices that Ryan heard were probably those of the sun god and the god of death. After discovering that Imhotep had completely disappeared, they quickly took back the divine power used to suppress him. However, Ryan had the scent of Rose Crystal after becoming a god in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, so as a respect for the same level of power, they gave him all the worldly property in Hamunaptra as compensation for taking away the divine power.

"We made a lot of money this time." Ryan muttered softly as he looked at the two scriptures on the ground.
