……

When the sun's rays set, a complex of ancient Egyptian architectural ruins emerged from nothingness on the vast sand sea of ​​the Sahara Desert.

At the same time, beneath the ruins of this ancient Egyptian building, a hoarse voice roared in the darkness.

"*Ancient Egyptian* (Enough is enough. Without the will of the gods, the prayers and poems on the obelisks, and the statues of the gods, can no longer imprison me. The entire Hamunaptra has surrendered to my will and control)"

"*Ancient Egyptian* (The Golden Book of the Sun and the Black Book of the Dead are also completely under my control. I blasphemed Anubis in my lifetime, and now I blaspheme the Almighty King and steal the sun light of the god Ra... I have no way out.)"

"*Ancient Egyptian* (Then, O disk of the sun! Rise up! Help me to reunite the Ka of the god Imhotep, and reunite it with my own immortal Ba, gather my soul in the sunlight, and let me—)"

"*Ancient Egyptian* (——Ascension!)"

The words fell.

Throughout the ruins, whether located on the surface or beneath the yellow sand, all the obelisks, with prayer patterns and poems praising and glorifying the sun, glowed with golden light.

The small amount of light and heat that had mysteriously disappeared from the Sahara Desert in recent days now gathered in the obelisk and was continuously released at this moment, gradually filling and covering the entire City of the Dead, Hamunaptrah.

Then, amid a violent earthquake, the buildings on the surface of Hamunaptra collapsed one after another, and a rift appeared in the ground that split the entire ruins. A huge disk symbolizing the sun slowly rose from the depths of the cracked ground and climbed into the sky in an anti-gravity suspended state.

"*Ancient Egyptian* (Egypt, your gods—are back!)"

The third instance: 99. Ascension, Falling, Nuclear Explosion (5k+)

In the murals of ancient Egyptian mythology, the sun god Ra is often depicted as a human with a falcon head and a sun disk on his head.

Therefore, the sun disk became the most important symbol of the sun god Ra, and frequently appeared in artistic images and mythological descriptions related to the sun god Ra.

In addition, since the sun god Ra is a god with many composite images and was worshipped in ancient Egypt with different images and names, the sun disk is also equivalent to the name "Ra", representing the sun at noon.

Of course, the above knowledge about ancient Egyptian theology is generally not useful to anyone except artists, historians and archaeologists.

But in the occult, especially in the magical traditions that are truly supernatural, those that involve the knowledge of ancient Egyptian mysticism, there is theological knowledge that must be kept in mind and understood at all times.

And it is Imhotep, the former high priest of ancient Egypt, who is undoubtedly the person most familiar with the ancient Egyptian gods and their symbols.

So, when the entire City of the Dead, Hamunaptrah, was torn apart by the earthquake, and when the disk symbolizing the sun slowly rose into the sky against gravity, even though it was deeply punished by the curse of insect bites and would forever wander the world as an undead without rest, it felt a burst of fear from the bottom of its heart.

It is blasphemy.

It was not the kind of blasphemy that could not be tolerated when he was alive, where he used the Black Book of the Dead, through his identity and authority as a high priest, to secretly steal the power of Anubis to resurrect Princess Ansuna, with whom he had an illicit affair.

Instead, it completely trampled upon the faith in the sun god Ra.

Even the great sin of attempting to touch the sun's glory.

By analogy, it is probably like a Catholic Pope who suddenly abandons his faith in Jesus Christ and publicly announces that he wants to be the next Jehovah, and shows his plans and the process of his ascension to God to the world in broad daylight.

Even in the 21st century, when there were hundreds of branches of the Christian faith, some legally registered and some illegal, in North America alone, it was not so abstract.

However, this fear of his former 'master' did not linger in Imhotep's mind for long before it was burned to ashes by another flame.

"Ancient Egyptian (Ansuna, my Ansuna, I will find you. I will find the gods and the Almighty King who have left this world)"

As the sun disk rises higher and higher, and is about to overlap with the sun that is now hanging in the sky and approaching noon, I realize that the bow has been drawn and there is no turning back. On the left and right ends of the scale in my heart, the side with the weight called "love" finally presses down on the other end with things like "faith".

"*Ancient Egyptian* (I will return to Hades, even in the most blasphemous form and with the most blasphemous methods... Even if I am doomed to eternal damnation, I will see you again)"

A hoarse roar echoed in the darkness beneath the ruins.

With the last trace of retreat and regret completely extinguished in the bottom of its heart, it controlled the sunlight collected and stolen through the Sun Obelisk in recent days, and continued to operate the entire ritual.

A ritual he designed for King Zoser during his lifetime, which allowed the soul to be resurrected from the dead with the help of the light of the sacred sun and ascend to godhood after the death of the mortal body.

This ritual utilized all of his magical and mystical knowledge from his lifetime as the High Priest of Ancient Egypt, and combined it with everything available within Hamunaptra, the City of the Dead. Whether it was the insect-eating curse that entangled his soul, or the mummies and sacrificial victims sent to Hamunaptra for various reasons throughout Egypt's dozens of dynasties, including the Third Dynasty, during his lifetime, including the remains of more than a dozen pharaohs...

…it will use everything it can.

It also included the special venue of Hamunaptra, the City of the Dead.

I barely managed to complete the ascension ritual.

If the ascension fails.

It knew very well that there was probably no need for the sun god Ra and the other gods to bring down divine punishment in anger for its blasphemous behavior.

Regardless of success or failure, Hamunaptra, the City of the Dead, will be destroyed. And if it fails to ascend, without the protection of Hamunaptra, the City of the Dead, its Ka and Ba will be forever annihilated in this completely dry and decayed environment outside.

Since: the soul is scattered.

But knowing this, it still did not choose to live under the protection of Hamunaptra, the City of the Dead.

Love makes people blind.

But love also makes people fearless.

After a while, the sun disk rising from Hamunaptra, the city of the dead, rose high into the sky, exactly overlapping with the sun at noon.

The area centered on Hamunaptra, the City of the Dead, was covered by terrifyingly high temperatures that were hot enough to cause dehydration to the human body in a short period of time. The entire sea of ​​sand became scorching hot and boiling under the scorching heat.

Then, pieces of golden light like gauze fell from the sky, from the sun disk that coincided with the sun at noon, and cast onto the rift that divided the city of the dead, Hamunaptra, into two.

In the center of the Eye of Ra symbol on the surface of the sun disk, there is a scripture with a gold cover.

At the same time, beneath the cracked ground of Hamunaptra, the City of the Dead, on a coffin beneath the statue of Anubis, the god of death, lay a black scripture bound in an unknown leather. The mummies originally in Hamunaptra, whether they were guards, servants or slaves buried alive, or pharaohs of noble status... were now animated and manipulated by some force, surrounding the coffin in an orderly manner and worshipping, emitting rhythmic hisses from their throats with destroyed vocal cords.

at this moment.

The sun disk hanging in the sky, coinciding with the midday sun, and the mummies worshipping around the coffin underground;

The golden scripture embedded in the center of the Eye of Ra symbol on the surface of the sun disk, and the black scripture on the coffin under the statue of Anubis, the god of death.

Together they formed two distinct poles.

At this time, golden rays of light were cast from the sun disk and fell directly onto the coffin under the statue of Anubis, the god of death.

Then, the black scripture floated into the air and automatically turned its pages. Large amounts of wriggling black mist suddenly seeped out from the words written on it, engulfing the coffin below and drowning the group of mummies that were worshipping around the coffin.

Then, with a click, the coffin was pushed open, and a withered arm struggled to push the coffin lid open a crack from the inside, allowing the wriggling black mist seeping out of the black scripture to flow back into the coffin.

A hoarse scream followed.

It was as if someone was being tortured by being cut into pieces.

Soon, the hoarse screams grew louder and louder, until there was a dull thud of something heavy falling to the ground, and a dry, rotten mummy slowly stood up from the coffin with the lid lifted off.

The wriggling black mist also enveloped the mummy's entire body, flowing into its body along its facial features and the broken parts of its body wrapped in yellow bandages, causing it to emit bursts of hoarse wails.

For the ancient Egyptian high priest Imhotep, this is undoubtedly the most painful moment in his life and death. It is more painful than being bitten by scarabs while his consciousness and senses are clear during the execution of insect bites.

It was a thousand cuts from the soul.

With the help of the Black Book of the Dead, it stripped away from its soul the curse of worm-eaten punishment that prevented it from resting in peace and from truly dying and entering the underworld.

Then, the curse stripped from its soul combined with the wriggling black mist that enveloped it, eventually transforming into a giant black snake, hissing and spitting out its tongue, coiling around its body and tightly wrapping around it.

So it began to struggle, waving its dry and rotten arms, unable to resist the entanglement of the black snake.

At this moment, golden rays of light hanging from the sky pierced through the black fog that enveloped it, and reflected on the body of the black snake as it roared.

Under the light, its body changed, from a dry and rotten corpse to a plump one again.

In the blink of an eye, the mummy wrapped in bandages turned into a burly, strong, bald man in the light.

"what--!"

After "resurrecting" his body, Imhotep roared angrily and broke free from the entangled black snake. Then his whole body seemed to be weightless, bathed in the falling golden light, rising slowly into the sky, and flying slowly towards the disk that coincided with the sun. Only the black snake was left, roaring and howling in the black fog underground.

It became.

Looking at the black snake moving away from him, Imhotep's heart was filled with joy. He raised his head and looked upward, opened his arms and arms, closed his eyes, and made a cross gesture to welcome the last step of the ascension ceremony.

Through the Black Book of the Dead and the site of Hamunaptra, the City of the Dead, it sheds its own curse, the sins it committed in life as an ancient Egyptian high priest that transformed it into the dark serpent symbolizing Apophis.

Apophis is the embodiment of destruction, chaos, and darkness in ancient Egyptian mythology. He is also the twin brother and mortal enemy of the sun god Ra, but he is also the opposite of Ra, the symbol of order. For all the sins and evils in the world, the sun god Ra must ride the sun boat into the deepest part of hell after sunset every day to fight to the death with him. Only by defeating Apophis can the sun rise the next day, and this process is also regarded as the rebirth of the sun.

Relying on this ascension ritual, Imhotep replicated the process, stripped off the curse rooted in his soul, and condensed it into "Apophis", which naturally became the opposite "Ra", and was "resurrected" and ascended to heaven under the light cast by the sun disk embedded with the Sun Golden Sutra.

Therefore, this is not a ceremony for Pharaoh to ascend to heaven and become a god after his death, but rather it is a usurpation of the name and existence of "Ra".

Bathed in the light cast by the sun disk, the process of ascending to heaven is not only its path to 'resurrection', but also its way of engraving its own will into the sunlight until its consciousness and soul are completely transformed into light.

It will become light.

In this world where gods and the Almighty King no longer exist, I have become the only will in the sun...

Soon, Imhotep ascended and completed most of his journey. The sunlight condensed into a set of golden armor on his body, and his head changed from a human head to a golden falcon head. When he rose to the center of the sun disk, he would become Him.

……

……

At the same time, in the distant sky, Xia Yan, who was flying at full speed on a low-profile version of the somersault cloud, also had a changed expression.

[The Fallacy of No Return] In the map unfolded on the virtual projection screen, the temperature in that area has undergone a drastic change, from the original strangely low temperature to the highest temperature ever recorded in the Sahara Desert.

In fact, there was no need for a virtual projection screen to display the map; Xia Yan and Irena could already see the changes in the distance.

After all, no matter who it is, at the high altitude where they are, they can clearly see the sun at noon, which is emitting a light so dazzling that it is impossible to look directly at it, and they can also see a light track hanging straight down from the sun.

"Divinity?!"

At this moment, Xia Yan also sensed a power similar to the [Sun Armor] from a distance in the light track where the sun was setting.

Almost in an instant, he vaguely realized something. Even though he didn't know what was going on, he reacted and understood how to deal with it.

"Irena."

"what?"

"Prepare the space transfer spell. Look at my eyes later and teleport me as close to the coordinates of that light track as possible, and then transfer me back."

"Hmm? Okay, I get it."

Irena, who was also standing on the cloud, responded immediately. Her witch costume was instantly replaced with a white robe, and the wand in her hand turned into a white staff inlaid with sapphires. In the blink of an eye, a magic circle expanded outward with her as the center.

Then, Xia Yan threw up the [Great Holy Grail] and summoned the [Conceptual Gift - Divine Whip].

As the nine-story stone pagoda grew larger in the wind, spell formations for summoning heroic spirits appeared in the air. In an instant, phantoms of gods and immortals appeared, arranging thirty-six rows vertically with the center of the nine-story stone pagoda at the center.

Xia Yan also summoned the divine whip, which emitted brilliant rays of light. Together with the talismans that appeared in front of the phantoms of the gods, it formed a network of rays of light.

As this network of rosy light spread out, thousands of auspicious auras descended, and the shadowy figures of immortals stood tall within thirty-six layers of golden clouds. Furthermore, magnificent scenes such as palaces, ceilings, golden lamps, jade dew, necklaces, and multicolored rays of light appeared one by one. Celestial music floated in the void, and ethereal Buddhist chants filled the air...

[Privileged Area of ​​Thought Disk - Heavenly Law], expand.

At this time, Xia Yan cancelled the magic power that maintained [No Return Error]. Even after recalling this humanoid mecha, he could no longer secretly hijack and control the satellite, nor could he conceal the changes here from the outside world, but he could no longer care.

Then, when the form of [No Return Error] disappeared, a dragon roar suddenly resounded through the nine heavens.

[Magic Weapon: The Sound of the Year Lord's Horn] manifested and took shape. A forty-meter-long dragon swam out from the void and hovered around Xia Yan.

"Pardon and seal, the Seven Stars of the Eastern Azure Dragon, the Star Lord of the Jiao Star and the Tianmen Star."

Then, Xia Yan grasped the magic whip and pointed at the dragon, and incorporated the dragon summoned by this magic weapon (Sound Corpse) into the [Privileged Domain of Thought Disk - Heavenly Law], and gave the dragon the concept of the immortal corresponding to the first of the seven eastern constellations, Jiaomu Jiao, and temporarily conferred it as the 'Jiaoxu Tianmen Star Lord' of the Heavenly Law network.

next moment.

The dragon roared towards the sky, and golden light shone from under its scales. The phantoms of the gods connected to the entire network of [Privileged Domain of Thought Disk - Heavenly Law] all unified their power and blessed the dragon that had transformed into the 'Star Lord of Jiao Su Tianmen'.

Then, a dark light spread out from the dragon as the center, and the entire sky lost its original color wherever it passed.

The fierce winds in the sky subsided, the rolling clouds solidified, and even the sunlight froze at this moment...

The prototype was originally the Jiaomu Jiao dragon. With the blessing of the entire [Privileged Domain of Thought Disk - Heavenly Law] network, its power instantly increased to a level beyond the "Sound Corpse".

In the three years before that, in the Inuyasha copy world, in order to refine this magic weapon (Sound Remains), Xia Yan even took out the corresponding resonants of other Sound Remains, except for the [Error of No Return], all the light wave level and huge wave level, and another raging wave level that he had never used and could not use, from the storage space of the magic weapon page, melted them all into pure spirituality, and integrated them into the Sound Remains of the [Year Lord 'Horn'].

Therefore, he who was beaten by the divine whip was temporarily pardoned and named the 'Star Lord of Jiao Su Tianmen', and was also blessed by the [Privileged Domain of Thought Disk - Heavenly Law] and the energy supply of the [Holy Grail (a low-profile copycat version of Haotian Tower)].

The dragon, no, the dragon of time... finally showed some of its true abilities, releasing its own diffraction energy to forcibly harden the space-time of a large area of ​​the surrounding airspace, creating a brief time stagnation field.

Immediately afterwards, the Dragon of Time opened its mouth, aimed at the sun in the sky, and spewed out a torrent of light.

In an instant, a dazzling light as bright as daylight, like a sharp blade, slashed towards the sun in this world that was briefly stagnant.

……

Boom!

The roar of the explosion echoed in the sky.

Imorton, who was sitting in a cross posture, bathing in golden light with his eyes closed and ascending to heaven, was suddenly awakened.

But before it could react, a terrifying scene appeared in its awakening eyes.
