American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

....... . .......

But Dane couldn't get much information about the invader from the shattered magic crystal.

"Who are you anyway?"

He suddenly realized that the world was full of disasters and was like a sieve, allowing anything to slip in.

There are Gray and Raven in front, and the Three Palace Demons behind, as well as an equally powerful person whose identity is unknown.

Dane even reflected on whether it was because he changed the fate of the universe that was supposed to be destroyed that so many disasters were brought about.

Just like those who practice Taoism have to go through three disasters and nine difficulties, the universe also has to go through a disaster before it can be reborn from the ashes.

But no matter what, he has taken over this world and even Jesus cannot stop him!

However, the most urgent task now is not to find out who the invader is, but to stop Gray's continued march.

The demon-like creature is a very useful biological weapon. Although its intelligence is not as high as that of the demon, its basic combat power is still good. The most important thing is that it has air combat capabilities, and its manufacturing speed is much faster than that of the demon.

Under the influence of the power of dreams, the small divine realm has gone through twenty years, but during these twenty years, Ceci has only gathered less than five thousand elite demons, which has consumed all the resources in the small divine realm.

The native magical creatures in the small divine world, the beast soldiers that look like gorillas, have almost been consumed and have now become protected animals.

The demon-like army can make up for the shortage of demon manpower, which is one of the reasons why Dane has been able to tolerate Grayer until now.

He set his sights on this group of cannon fodder.

Chapter 659 Identity Suspicion

In Cairo, Horus finally successfully joined forces with Set and formed an alliance.

The demon-like army wreaked havoc not only in Cairo and the cities of Upper Egypt, but also throughout the entire Nile River basin.

In front of the humanoid locust demons, no large creature can escape their clutches. Such plundering will naturally inadvertently invade Set's territory.

As one of the nine gods, Set has two most important powers: desert and storm.

These two things are the embodiment of the two things that the ancient Egyptians feared the most, because they took countless lives.

"Fear" is one of the most primitive emotions of human beings and a memory deeply engraved in our genes.

Therefore, Set was very powerful most of the time. In the history of Egyptian gods, if it were not for his bad reputation caused by killing his brother and usurping the throne, and then being stigmatized by the people, his power would have been weakened.

If things continue to develop normally, Horus might not be enough for him to defeat with one hand.

Before the birth of Horus, Set was the absolute military power among the Egyptian gods, equivalent to the status of Thor among the Aesir.

The sun god Ra once had a mortal enemy, the dark serpent Apophis, who represented chaos and destruction. The two had been entangled for countless years and could never determine the winner.

But Set once killed Apophis alone, which shows how powerful he was in his heyday.

At that time, he was almost a symbol of "strength" and synonymous with "invincibility".

Some conspiracy theorists have speculated that Ra was afraid of Set's power, so he deliberately gave the power to govern Egypt to Osiris instead of the stronger Set.

He also handed over the barren desert to Set to rule, which naturally caused his strong dissatisfaction, but because of this, he trained one of the most cruel and powerful army in the world in the harsh living environment of the desert.

There are many different opinions on the reason why Set killed Osiris. Some say that he had long coveted Egypt and had planned it for a long time; others say that Osiris had fallen in love with Set's wife Nephthys and was retaliated by him.

But no matter what, killing blood relatives is a serious sin in any mythology. Even Zeus was warned that "he will be killed by his own son" because of his patricide. Most other gods also have similar curses.

Set's act of killing Osiris turned him from a glorious and great god of power into an evil god, and his divine power was greatly weakened. However, Horus launched a decisive battle against Set in the righteousness of revenge for his father, which was a positive bonus.

This is the main reason why the most powerful god was successfully killed by a young boy.

Horus came to power by stepping on Set's corpse, so Set naturally had a deep hatred for him.

But this hatred seems so insignificant in the face of Egypt's survival.

In the new divine realm, Set has seen many pantheons that have gradually disappeared due to the dissipation of real civilization. Set does not want to be one of them.

Therefore, when he learned that Horus was in a critical condition, he took the initiative to approach him to seek cooperation. When the two of them worked together, they learned about Anubis's disappearance.

"But how is this possible? Anubis can enter and leave the afterlife freely!" Horus was extremely surprised. He had never thought that Anubis would have an accident.

Seth, who had a jackal head, had a gloomy face and a rough voice: "But this is the fact. Can you still contact him now?"

"You can't do it either?" Horus looked grim. If even Set couldn't contact Anubis, it would undoubtedly increase the credibility of the other party's murder.

But who can do this?

"Could it be those wizards who hunt gods?" Horus said hesitantly.

He was unwilling to believe that even a god like Anubis would be hunted. As the god of death who extradited the dead, ordinary people would be killed if they just touched him, and wizards were of course no exception.

Seth also didn't believe it: "Have you ever thought about whether the woman you fought with is a suspect?"

"You mean..."

"We all know that the Parademons are Darkseid's weapons!"

Anyone who can command demons must be from Apocalypse. Following this line of thought, the enemy must be from Apocalypse, and that woman is just a vanguard.

"Is it so difficult to deal with just one vanguard?" Horus pinched his brow, feeling the wound on his shoulder seem to be aching slightly.

The woman with whom he had fought a great battle was one Horus had never seen before, so she must not be a very famous New God.

Although his strength has not recovered to its peak, the fact that he was forced to this extent is enough to prove that the other party is quite powerful.

and......

Horus recalled the scenes of the previous battle in his mind and suddenly discovered a detail.

"Seth, do you remember what Darkseid's most powerful move is?"

"Omega effect?" Seth replied with a frown.

"Yes, it's the Omega effect. To be more precise, it's the Omega rays. That madman emitted this energy through his eyes... You should remember that this thing can turn, right?"

There aren't many species in this universe that can emit energy through their eyes, but there are quite a few. However, Darkseid is the only one who can actually turn the energy beams he emits.

And this ability of his is achieved by relying on the characteristics of the Omega Effect. As we all know, Darkseid is the only New God in the known universe who can use the Omega Effect.

But Horus felt that the woman who attacked her was most likely using a much weakened Omega Effect.

"That's impossible!" Set immediately questioned, "The Omega Effect originated from Apocalypse. Only the Lord of Apocalypse can control it, and it is unique."

During the period of conflict between the New and Old Gods, the Old Gods conducted in-depth research on Darkseid's abilities, and the tricky ability of the Omega Effect was of course a top priority.

You must know that during the war between the two sides, Darkseid often used the Omega effect to kill and plunder the power of the old gods in order to make himself stronger.

Therefore, the old gods actually knew about the Omega effect. It was precisely because of this that Set disagreed with Horus's speculation.

But Horus did not dispel his doubts, because he also thought of Gray's skin color and the rock-like texture he felt when the two fought in close combat.

So he had a probing guess: "Do you think she could be a descendant of Darkseid?"

Seth subconsciously wanted to say it was impossible, but then he paused, as if thinking about the possibility.

The divine power of gods can be passed on to the next generation, even the godhood can be passed on. The Omega effect can essentially be regarded as an alternative 5.7 power, and theoretically it is possible to be inherited.

Set turned to look at Horus and found that his nephew's face was a little gloomy. He almost understood the meaning of Horus' expression in seconds.

"This is just your guess."

"But it's worth a try, isn't it?"

Although the mysterious nature of the world has increased with the frequency of divine descent events, the ones who benefit the most are not the gods.

After all, this was no longer their era. Human beings were not as reverent to the gods as before, and Zeus did not send another flood to destroy the world.

Therefore, if the gods want to restore their ancient power, they must think of other ways. The method of the new god of Apocalypse is very good. Now only "plundering" is the royal road for them to become great again.

If Greer's origin story is really as Horus thought, then her Omega Effect would be a perfect piece of fat meat.

Chapter 660 Planning

If it was the complete version of the Omega Effect, Horus and Set would naturally not dare to covet it.

Because this thing recognizes its master, if you are not the real master of Apocalypse Star, you will never be recognized by it.

However, Gray's Omega Beam was a weakened version, which Horus knew from the fact that he survived after taking the hit of the beam.

His eyes met Set's in mid-air, and both of them saw ambition and greed in each other's eyes.

"cooperate?"

"no problem!".

Then Horus began to ask other questions: "Who else has come besides us?"

"As far as I know, Osiris has also come, but he can only stay in the underworld." Set said this with a hint of gloating.

Although Osiris was resurrected by Isis in the form of a mummification, because he took on the position of the god of the underworld, he could only stay in the underworld or the afterlife and could not touch the real world.

Seth suspected that this was Isis's doing. He had long felt that this woman was very cunning and not a good wife and mother as ordinary people thought.

He glanced at Horus, who was looking down in thought, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

As early as when Horus was still a child, Set knew that Isis04 had once used a trick on the sun god Ra in order to help him gain the throne, turning him from the original immortal god into an old man who would age.

Generally speaking, gods are immortal, but the gods of Egypt are a little bit strange because they are subject to birth, aging, sickness and death.

The Egyptian gods viewed birth, aging, sickness and death as cyclical phenomena, just as the sun goes through the stages of rising, noon and sunset, the climate has four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and so does life.

When people die, they go to the afterlife and continue their new life, and those who die in the afterlife will be resurrected from this world at some point in the future, and the cycle will repeat itself.

This is what the Egyptians believed in reincarnation, and it is also why the Egyptians were keen on making mummies, because they really believed that they could be resurrected in the world one day in the future and have the same spiritual immortality as the gods.

The root of all this is because of Ra, the Egyptian creator god, who has the cycle of birth, aging, sickness and death that humans experience, and the gods that come from him also have such cyclical changes.

According to legend, Isis once collected the saliva of the great sun god Ra, mixed it with clay to create a deadly serpent, and designed it to bite Ra.

Because it was mixed with La's saliva, the snake venom had the power to restrain La, causing him to be instantly paralyzed in bed.

At that time, Isis was the only one in Egypt who could heal Ra, but she put forward a condition, that is, she wanted to know Ra's real name.

In the Egyptian magic system, the true name is extremely important, and most spells require the true name to work.

Ra was well aware of this, so he rejected Isis's unreasonable request.

But Isis made this request for bargaining purposes. After Ra rejected her first request, she turned to her second request, which was to let Horus inherit the throne.

Some people may find it strange that Horus, as the only son of Osiris, is naturally the legal heir. Why would Isis bother with this?

This is because before Ra gained life, old age, sickness and death due to snake venom, the Egyptian gods were effectively immortal, which meant they also could not die naturally.

If the father doesn't die, how can the son have the chance to ascend the throne?

At that time, Osiris had ruled Egypt for nearly a thousand years, and his prestige was deeply rooted in the people's hearts. No one knew whether he would refuse to abdicate because of his greed for power.

Besides, for a period of time, Isis did see that bastard Osiris flirting with Nephthys.

Isis is still as beautiful as ever, but no matter how beautiful a face is, it will become boring after looking at it for thousands of years, and it will not be as fragrant as wild flowers.

Of course, she was worried that Osiris would develop an affair with Nephthys, and if they gave birth to a child, who would get the throne?

Therefore, for the sake of Horus's future, Isis must help him take the throne before the above concerns become reality!

The most important factor influencing Horus' ascension to the throne was Ra. Only the god recognized by Ra could sit firmly on the throne. Isis saw it more accurately than Bethe, and Osiris and he were never real obstacles.

Because the snake venom caused Ra unbearable pain, and Isis's request was not too excessive, he finally agreed to this condition.

But as a punishment, from the day Ra God recovered, gods were subject to birth, old age, sickness and death just like humans, and had to go through reincarnation in the next life.

Thinking of this, Set suddenly realized that the reason why he was able to kill Osiris successfully was probably because of Isis, right?

And after he cut Osiris into eight pieces, why was it such a coincidence that only the two ounces of meat at the bottom were missing?

It's hard not to suspect that this was the intentional result of Isis...

The resurrection ceremony of Osiris was presided over by Isis. After the resurrection, Osiris' skin turned green, and the thing below was replaced by a wooden substitute.

But the ruler of Egypt could not be a mummy, nor could he have such an indecent image, so in the end Horus ascended the throne as he wished.

If you think about it this way, the entire process of Horus becoming king was actually completed under the control of Isis, and she also obtained a higher position than the queen by virtue of her identity as Horus' mother.

The only thing she hadn't expected was that she had pulled a trick to cut off the source of the problem, making the gods have the defects of birth, aging, sickness and death, thus forcing Horus to pass the throne to the demigod pharaoh with half divine blood when he entered the afterlife due to old age.

Thousands of years passed after that, and the pharaoh's divine blood became weaker with each generation, and finally he became completely mortal.

Horus seemed to notice Set's gaze and looked up, but Set had already shifted his gaze, making him think it was just an illusion.

"It won't be enough if it's just the two of us," Horus reminded 820. "That woman has a large number of demon-like creatures. Those little creatures are troublesome. We need an army of equal size."
