I'm starting a mythical revival in Tokyo

Chapter 192 Babylon

The Oasis Religion was derived from the Zoroastrianism of the ancient Persian Empire, but unlike Zoroastrianism, which already had the embryonic form of monotheism, the Oasis Religion was an absolute polytheistic religion.

In order to unify Persia politically, Darius I, the king of ancient Persia, revered Ahura Mazda as the sole god in Zoroastrianism.

But after Alexander the Great conquered Persia, the polytheism in Zoroastrianism rose again due to the introduction of Greek civilization. Until later, after thousands of years of theocratic struggle, a new religion, Oasis Theology, defeated Zoroastrianism.

What followed was crazy childbirth and fighting. The Oasis Cult started later than the Christian Church, but because it was a religion born in the desert, it was better spread than the Christian Church in the deserts of Central Asia and Africa.

When you are walking in a deserted desert, do you want your God to lead you by the hand to find an oasis, or do you want to endure the test and walk in the desert?

The teachings of the Oasis Cult are more suitable for the desert, and even Christ cannot shake them.

Like all polytheistic beliefs, the gods of Oasis Cult are divided into different levels of status.

The best ones are Ramon, the sun god, and Muffat, the moon goddess, who was beaten by Zeus and gave up his position as moon goddess.

All other gods are their subordinates or descendants.

They were also the ones who exploited their subordinate gods most severely. Their doctrines clearly stipulated that all incense and worship offered to the gods of the Oasis Cult must pay a fixed amount to Ramon or Muffat every month.

The amount to be paid depends on one's rank, and who one is paid to depends on who the god is subordinate to. This is the most peculiar rule among all polytheistic beliefs in the world.

Ramon and Muffat do not have their own exclusive temples, but they have eyes in the temples of every Oasis Cult god to collect their half.

It's like a lump-sum tax system. As long as you pay the above, the rest is up to you.

The target chosen by Osiris and his men was a minor god at the lowest level of the Oasis Cult. After the god was resurrected, the religious territory assigned to him was a marginal town like this.

The population is small and the faith is sparse, but fortunately, as a subordinate of the sun god Ramon, his faith tax is also low.

Muffat is in a terrible situation. Having lost his position as a moon priest, he urgently needs a large amount of faith to enrich his strength. The faith tax under his command has increased exponentially, and the gods who cannot pay have been executed one after another recently. This is really bad luck for him.

Because Ramon's eyes were in the temple, when he decided to do bad things with the disguised Isis, he blocked those eyes in order to avoid being discovered by his boss.

When Osiris and his companions rushed into the temple, this guy had been sucked half of his life away by Isis. The only resistance he could do was to scream with his remaining divine power before he died and inform the other gods.

“The Egyptians are back?”

"Those disgusting mummies? Where do they get their believers from?"

The bearded Ramon looked at Ishtar, the goddess of fate, who was dressed in black with only her eyes visible.

"Great King of Kings, God of Gods, destiny has been disturbed. My eyes cannot see the path of the stars. The moon has blocked my view."

Ramon was so angry that he threw his wine glass and cursed: "Weak Muffat, if he hadn't lost his position as the Moon God, his fate would not be so unclear!"

When he said this, he probably forgot that he was the one who was unwilling to rescue Muffat, and he also prevented Muffat's subordinates from rescuing him.

Reason? Looking at Zeus's fierce look at that time, did he need a reason?
Preserving strength is reason enough!

There is no need to explain the real reason. Just look at how Ishtar addressed him. How could the King of Kings, the God of Gods, tolerate the existence of a god who stands shoulder to shoulder with him?
Christ, there was nothing Zeus and the others could do, that person was not his family, but Muffat was, so when he was skinned and dismembered by Zeus, he laughed happily.

"Marduk, take the people and let's go!"

You're just some Egyptian trash. Now that you're back, don't leave!
Ramon randomly selected a few powerful subordinate gods and rode on Pegasus to kill towards the town.

With Ramon's departure, the banquet came to an abrupt end, and the gods who were not named to go to war returned to their own territories. Territory is the foundation of survival!
Fighting back against the Egyptian gods is just a small problem, but if someone takes advantage of the situation, that would be fatal!

The conflict between Ramon and Muffat is very serious now. In order to make up for the loss of the Moon Goddess's priesthood, the other side has killed several minor gods. God knows whether he will take action or not.

Ramon did not go into battle with a big fanfare for this reason, otherwise he would not have gone without his most important adviser, Ishtar.

The purpose of letting her stay in Babylon was obviously to deal with Muffat. If it weren't for Christ and Zeus watching closely, the Oasis Cult would have started a civil war the day after the gods were resurrected.

After all the gods left the banquet, Ishtar looked around vigilantly to make sure that there were no gods or god servants present.

Her robe moved slightly and a wisp of green smoke seeped out of it. It was obvious that she had just destroyed something.

"We have received the news. Ramon has led his men to Egypt to surround and kill Osiris and his men."

Athena held a long feather in her hand, which was a pure white eagle tail feather. On it was clearly written a text from the ancient Babylonian era. Now only gods with the ministry of wisdom could understand its meaning.

Athena is one of them.

In fact, she could understand it without theocracy, because Greek civilization and ancient Babylon had intersections. The gods of the new generation needed theocracy to be understood, but she didn't.

The smoke coming out of Ishtar's robe was not destroying things, but writing words on her skin. She was naked under her robe. The one who received the text message was Athena. She was contacted by Athena and buried in the Oasis Cult.

From the fact that she can write ancient Babylonian characters fluently, you can tell that her existence is much older than that of the Oasis Cult.

She is the ancient Babylonian goddess of Venus and the patron saint of the city of Babylon. Now she is the goddess of fate of the Oasis Cult. The entire ancient Babylonian pantheon has been absorbed by the Oasis Cult.

Marduk, the main god of the Babylonian pantheon, has now become Ramon's personal thug.

Originally, it was impossible for Ishtar to betray the Oasis Cult. She was completely resurrected by the faith of the Oasis Cult, and it was impossible for her to know that her origin was ancient Babylon.

But who let her be in charge of destiny? The unpredictable fate made her understand herself deeply in order to see the direction of fate, which in turn awakened her oldest consciousness!
The patron saint of ancient Babylon, the Babylonian witch who created the Babylonian captivity and imprisoned Yahweh, the god of the squid sect.

She was once above Yahweh, how could she be willing to serve Ramon!
As the goddess of fate, she has no clothes under her black robe, only a naked body. This is because she must allow Ramon to explore the depths of fate at any time. Is she also considered a goddess?
Even the bitch Venus in the Greek pantheon would not dress like this, but she, the goddess of fate, can only dress like this!

Not only her, but all her female priests and believers dressed like this. Rather than being priests of God, they were more like holy prostitutes for the enjoyment of the powerful!
But this is not without benefits. Her title of the Babylonian Temptress is not false. She has already sent messages to her believers and priests, asking them to use their beauty to exchange for power, and she herself has done so.

Just wait, Ramon, my deadly scissor kick will crush your head sooner or later!
When Athena received the message from Ishtar, the performance at the Moulin Rouge had been suspended, and Zeus, who heard the scream, had already held a meeting at the Moulin Rouge.

Although the stage was sticky, the theater was perfect for meetings.

The news has been confirmed that Ramon has left Babylon, so the only thing left is the choice.

Ares immediately suggested: "Since Babylon's defense is now empty, let's attack Babylon directly and plunder them!"

"No, my people told me that Ramon only brought a small group of people to Egypt. Now most of the gods of the Oasis Cult are defending in various places. The possibility of successfully attacking Babylon is too low."

Poseidon was not only cruel and lustful, he was also a good fighter. His mortal descendant, Julian Augustus, was promoted to demigod by him. He was given a pair of real eyes and used his shipping company to monitor the movements of the Oasis Cult along the Red Sea and Mediterranean coast.

"But if we support Egypt as originally planned, we will have to fight Ramon head-on, and possibly even the entire Oasis Cult. There will be almost no benefits in the short term."

Persephone is a very careful person now, and she will never do any job that does not bring her income.

The income from the war can be used either to sell arms or to rob!

If you want to support Egypt, you cannot rob, otherwise it will directly expand the war. The Egyptian gods have nothing now. You can either buy on credit or give aid. It is still unknown whether you can do so and when you can pay it back.

As the god of commerce, Persephone is now firmly opposed to doing this. It is more cost-effective to directly grab a deal and force Ramon to return to defense!

"Let's rob Babylon!"

"But what about the gods along the way? If we let them go, we will be alone!"

"Don't let them go until you reach Babylon. The gods of the Oasis Cult will have already arrived. Do you want to attack the city?"

The losses in the siege were outrageous, and so were the wars between gods.

Especially when the city to be attacked is a city like Babylon, it would take more than a day or two to take it down.

The gods in the theater were arguing fiercely. War is never started by a single move. The war among gods is also accompanied by the fighting among their believers. Even if these gods will not really die, getting injured will harm themselves.

If it can bring huge profits, then it’s fine. If you get nothing, then just eat too much and go to war!
The gods are quarreling, and their followers in modern times are too few to take risks.

"Quiet!"

Zeus' words drowned out the boiling argument, and the eyes of the entire theater were focused on him.

"Athena, if you follow me to support Egypt, just say it's for the sake of maintaining regional peace."

"Hades, Poseidon, take your men to attack Babylon."

If he wants to make money and avoid being beaten, he has to pretend to be internally divided. Although there is no need to pretend at all, Poseidon wants to usurp the throne at any time.

This plan is good, as it captures both ends, but the problem is that both hands must be strong!

Most of the gods, including Ares and Enyo, have come to Mogui and Poseidon. If they can follow the two kings of gods to rob money, why would they follow Zeus to engage in verbal attacks?
Zeus was so angry about this that he said, "You bastards, at least give me half of it. Otherwise, what else can I do?"

It takes strength to talk big. If you don't bring enough people with you and go to talk big with Ramon, and then you keep stealing from other people, he will kill you on the spot if you are weak!
