Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 779: The enemy and I have the same origin is already an old setting
A dark and ferocious snake-shaped disc descended, and the lifelike snake statue on it came to life.

The shadows that turned into thousands of snakes fell on the ground and gradually merged into human figures among the snakes. This scene seemed somewhat familiar.

Hermes, floating on Horus' shoulder, looked at the figure gradually emerging from the snake group, and gradually felt something was wrong.

It's not because it is so scary, but because this scene is very similar to Atum's appearance under the sun disk during Heka's competition.

If you look closely, doesn't this snake-shaped disk in the dark pyramid look very similar to the sun disk of Heliopolis?
From this perspective, this continuous group of temples corresponds to the holy city of Heliopolis, or the temples on the entire earth.

The figure that emerged from the shadows of the snakes had a face exactly the same as Horus, except that his skin color was darker and the golden seal on his face had turned into a snake seal.

"You are...Atum?!"

Horus had a look of vigilance and confusion on his face, and he had already grasped the sword in his hand.

The way the other person spoke, and the feeling he gave her, were no different from Atum's.

But the opponent was filled with a dark aura that was almost tangible, and suddenly appeared in this dark temple, almost writing the label of the final boss on his face.

"Ah, it's indeed me. No need to be so defensive."

Atum, whose face was full of suspicion, had no intention of making trouble, but instead remained easy-going.

"But you brought in some people who shouldn't have been brought in. We only need the two of us to handle things here."

With a wave of his hand, a dark snake shadow rose from under Atum's feet and swept Hermes on Horus' shoulder away.

"This way, there are only two of us left."

After Atum sent Hermes out, the passage of the dark pyramid instantly closed downwards, as if there had never been a passage in or out.

"So what is the purpose of this trial? What's the point of going through so much trouble to get me here?"

Although Atum said this, Horus had no intention of letting down his guard.

There are too many questions here. I thought it was a normal trial against a strong enemy, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

"Don't worry, I don't mean to fight you, but I need to be here so that I can reveal some secrets to you."

As Atum raised her hand, the shadow disk also swirled around in her hand.

"The snake outside has been restrained now and cannot interfere with us for the time being. Let us cherish our time."

"I know you have a lot of questions in your mind. Don't worry, I will explain them to you bit by bit."

The disc fell into Atum's hands, and the originally black disc suddenly faded away and emitted golden light.

The ferocious snake-like statue on it also turned into gorgeous and complex golden patterns.

But this transformation only lasted for a short while before it turned from light to darkness again, transforming into its original pitch-black disc.

"First, let's start with the issue that you are most concerned about. This final trial itself is a ceremony to inherit the throne of the Sun God."

"It's not that you can only inherit it after completing the trial, but the trial itself is the ritual itself."

"Only by coming here and knowing these secrets can you become the new Sun God."

Here? Horus looked up, thinking. "Yes, just as you thought, this is the place where the sun was born and fell, and it is indeed closely related to the Chaos Serpent Apophis."

"The interweaving of light and darkness, the strong light of the sun will inevitably breed shadows, and the sun and the snake of shadow have such a companion relationship."

"The brighter the light, the stronger the shadow. It cannot be completely destroyed. No matter what, the shadow side is also us, the other side that we cannot control or harness."

"So, if you want to inherit the position of the Sun God, you must also completely inherit this shadow side."

As the solar boat moved along the sky, the light cast by the sun shone on the towering temple above the earth.

The shadow cast by the pyramid-shaped temple is reflected on the desert, forming a winding and twisting snake shape.

The Chaos Serpent Apophis was born from this. It itself is the embodiment of the sun's shadow. When its shadow is stretched to the extreme, it becomes the dark serpent that devours the world.

It is not wrong to regard it as the two sides of the sun god Ra. In many legends, it is indeed Ra's twin brother.

but……

"No...something is wrong."

Hermes, who was thrown out of the temple, was now sitting on the ground, thinking quickly.

Although it was just a glimpse, but combined with the existing information, Hermes was able to deduce most of the content with his intelligent brain.

It is not difficult to deduce that the sun god Ra and the chaos serpent Apophis are two sides of the same coin.

However, something is not right.

Hermes kept pondering in his mind that it was impossible to just do this. If the two conflicting deities were weak, they could still be forcibly integrated by force.

But because Ra's light was too dazzling, the shadow it cast was also extraordinary.

Rather, under normal circumstances, the shadow projected by the sun god would be integrated into the category of the goddess of darkness or night, rather than like it is now.

The reason why it has become the current level is probably because the sun, which never sets, is continuously lengthening its shadow above the horizon which is infinitely close to sunset.

In short, even if this guy is the other side of Ra, he should be impossible to integrate and control.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Typhon and Bastet to restrain the giant snake born from the shadow of Horus at this moment.

After some thought, Hermes came up with a rough answer in his mind.

This thing is simply the uncontrollable violent side of Ra, fighting against Apophis day and night to prevent the world from being destroyed.

In fact, it's nothing more than constantly restraining one's own dark and violent heart to avoid destroying the world by oneself.

But why are we here now? There might be some conspiracy. Should we inform Eros?
Even so, once we arrived in this kingdom of darkness, the news couldn't get out at all.

Let’s just ignore it for now, it doesn’t matter anyway.

While Hermes was outside thinking about the whole thing, Horus in the temple asked another question that he was more concerned about.

"What does it mean to inherit the Sun God? Isn't it just a walking human body?"
