Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 184 Father Says Goodbye, Son Smiles
Ujat, who emerged from the Tomb of Horus, did not leave the Underworld, but instead walked deeper into this forest of stelae.

Behind these ancient obelisks that buried the gods of annihilation, there is an even larger stone tablet hidden in the distance. However, unlike these obelisks inscribed with the names of gods, there are no words on this giant tablet. As for the giant tablet, there are no skeletons to be seen. Only an empty tomb remains there, as if waiting for someone to move in.

Now, three legendary giants reside there, and according to them, they can comprehend the mysteries of life and death within that tomb.

"I hope my elders will not disappoint me."

With that thought in mind, Ujat had already stepped into the tomb.

As soon as he entered, Ujat saw the enormous lion with a blue face and fangs. This ancient blue-faced lion god was the first of the three giant gods. If it were anyone else, they might think that this blue-faced lion god, who was in the lead, was the strongest of the three giant gods.

But Ujat, being one of his own, knew very well that his eldest uncle, who held the highest position, was actually the weakest of the three giants.

Starting with the weakest one is exactly the way to get stronger.

However, just as Ujat was beginning to show his killing intent, the blue-faced giant lion opened its eyes—but just as the blue-faced giant lion was about to look at the source of the killing intent, the familiar eagle-headed human body made it pause for a moment.

"why you?"

The blue-faced giant lion couldn't even understand it for a moment.

"You little brat, could it be..."

boom--

In that brief moment of hesitation, the blazing sun flames that shot out had already burned through the neck of the blue-faced giant lion.

The enormous lion head fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

This time it was Ujat's turn to be stunned.

"It turns out that my uncle is actually so weak."

Indeed, if they were to face each other head-on in a fight, even if he had the determination to become stronger, the blue-faced giant lion in front of him would still give him a hard time—but right now his uncle hesitated because of his identity.

Between life and death, a moment's hesitation is enough to cost you your life.

Ujat felt he had grasped something, and he sincerely thanked his uncle, the blue-faced lion, for it was through this life-or-death teaching that he learned this extremely important lesson.

After that, Ujat immediately put his newfound knowledge into practice in battle.

Because, without warning, an elephant trunk was silently sweeping towards him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ujat immediately unleashed the Solar Flame in his hand. The blazing light, as intense as a sword, was so overwhelming that the attacking elephant trunk had no choice but to retreat and temporarily avoid its attack.

It was at this moment that the enormous figure of the six-tusked white elephant finally emerged from the shadows in Ujat's line of sight.

"Judging from your appearance, you should have fully accepted the power from the stars."

The six-tusked white elephant had a sinister look in its eyes, and its gaze toward Ujat was full of murderous intent.

“The three of us warned you to use that power with caution. These gifts that seem to come out of nowhere must have come with a price tag... Clearly, you didn’t listen.”

The answer to the six-tusked white elephant was the sunlight that lashed out at it.

Ujat didn't hesitate for a moment, nor did he want to waste any words. At this moment, he only wanted to kill this second uncle to prove his strength.

Yes, to prove one's strength.

At this moment, Ujat truly understood everything.

He might not truly be no match for that evil ancient serpent, even if that serpent was a deity that the three giants of old could hardly resist. However, that ancient serpent had been stagnant for an unknown period of time, while he had grown far too much. The difference between him and the ancient serpent now was likely not a difference in strength, but rather that his aura had been suppressed.

A defeat in battle led to his downfall, and it was this defeat that made him feel that the ancient serpent was invincible. When he himself felt that the ancient serpent was invincible, even with all his skills, he was ultimately unable to unleash even a fraction of them.

So he needs to gain experience, so he needs to level up, so he needs to defeat the three giants of the past and use their blood as a stepping stone for his next challenge against the ancient serpent.

"Therefore, I will not lose."

Just as the elephant trunk was about to pin him to the ground, Ujat's entire form suddenly transformed into a sun.

The scorching light instantly burned the elephant's trunk to ashes, along with the shadow in which the giant elephant had hidden, completely extinguishing it. Although the ancient tomb itself was made of an unknown material, and even the sun's heat could not destroy it, the six-tusked giant elephant itself could not withstand such burning.

In just a moment, the body of the six-tusked white elephant turned into dust, leaving only its head, which had been deliberately spared, lying on the ground alongside the blue-faced lion's head.

"I knew it, I'm really strong."

With two of the three giants eliminated, Ujat had more confidence in his strength than ever before.

However, the third of the three giants is the most troublesome.

That was the third of the three giants, and also the wisest and most powerful.

Although he is indeed ranked third, in terms of true strength, this Golden-Winged Eagle God is the first among the three giant gods.

"All I can say is that he is still my father after all."

Thinking this, Ujat raised his head, and a blazing beam of light shot straight into the sky.

Just then, the shadow in the sky flashed by and then swooped down, landing in front of Ujat.

Before he could even come to a stop, the beam of light, carrying intense killing intent, was already hurtling towards him. The Golden-Winged Roc, who had landed on the ground, frowned deeply.

"Ujat, have you gone mad?"

The Golden-Winged Roc angrily rebuked its offspring.

"I told you long ago not to use the evil magic from the stars! But you were still bewitched by that power... The power within this divine tomb is the orthodox one, why don't you understand!"

"You are wrong, my father. This is the way to become stronger."

Despite saying this, Ujat showed no mercy in his attack. A blazing beam of light swept across and instantly severed the Golden-Winged Roc's wings, sending them crashing to the ground.

After picking up the pair of wings, Ujat aimed his palm at the head of the Golden-Winged Roc.

“I have understood everything, I have grasped the essence of this world... and you are outdated.”

boom--

The blazing beam of light shattered the head of the Golden-Winged Roc.

It also shattered the last vestige of confusion in Ujat's heart.

“The old gods should be buried in their graves, whether it be you or that ancient serpent.”

Looking at the three corpses on the ground, Ujat wore a confident smile.

"Now is the age of the new gods, our age."
