The Growth of a God

Chapter 798 Alien Intruder

The world of mountains and seas, the city of Cloud Palace.

A huge golden beetle lay on top of the clouds, basking in the warmth of the sun.

Since the City in the Clouds is a city floating in the clouds, and the golden beetle's current location is the highest point of the Cloud Palace City.

Therefore, the warm sunlight felt by the golden beetle is like a scorching sun that can kill every cell of other creatures.

Even Batis, the genie of the magic lamp, could not withstand the burning sun for long.

At this moment, he was hiding listlessly under the shell of the golden beetle, enjoying the remaining coolness of the shadow.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Batis was born in the Dark Lantern and naturally rejects sunlight.

However, the master she chose was a golden beetle who naturally loved the sun. It can only be said that this was fate.

"How long are you going to stay here?"

Looking up at the golden shell above his head, Batis' voice was full of regret.

"Well, I've rarely had any free time recently, shouldn't I take a good rest?"

The golden beetle...or rather Atun's tone teased with a hint of smile.

"If you really don't like basking in the sun, go and stay with my parents!"

Hearing this, Batis seemed even more annoyed.

"Do you think I don't want to? Your parents want to spend their time alone together and won't let me go with them."

"Besides, where are they going?"

"Primitive forest? Deep mountain valleys? Or some undeveloped nooks and crannies?"

"What era is this? What kind of society is this? Do they actually hate cities?"

Batis's complaint is actually what most of the people of the mountains and seas think of the Beetle Couple.

Thanks to Atun's outstanding contributions over the years.

Most people in the mountains and seas know about the great achievements and life experiences of the "Father of Sun Gear".

According to some gossip and rumors, a considerable number of research institutions studying life genetics and bioengineering are planning to borrow some genetic cells from the beetle couple for their research.

Unfortunately, these research institutions often fail to find the specific whereabouts of the beetle couple and have to give up this promising plan.

"They don't hate cities, they just prefer the environment of mountains and forests."

After simply correcting Batis's statement, Atun continued calmly.

"It's just like I like to bask in the sun, and you prefer to hide in the shade. It's just a simple matter of choice."

After a slight pause, Atun suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"Come to think of it, it's been a while since you found your real name. Aren't you going to tell me your name?"

With Aten's identity and status in the mountain and sea civilization, he had long known the truth about the genie in the magic lamp.

Therefore, a long time ago, Aten made a wish to let Batis remember all his memories before he became the genie of the magic lamp.

Aten originally thought that Batis would stop bothering him and free himself from the constraints of the magic lamp to live the life he wanted.

What he didn't expect was that Batis, who had regained his memory, didn't change at all.

Still hiding in the dark lamp...

Still entangled with myself and unwilling to leave...

Even still insisting on making a third wish...

"Oh! My name is Batis, that's my name!"

First, he shook the six pairs of cicada wings behind him.

Then Batis grabbed the golden shell on his head in anger.

Batis, who is open-minded and cheerful, is very satisfied with his current life and doesn't want to remember his past as an ancient Egyptian god at all.

To be honest, if Atun hadn't made this damn wish when she wasn't paying attention, Batis wouldn't have so many more troubles now. At least, that's what Batis thought.

She would rather not recall her memory as an ancient Egyptian god, but live in this new world full of vitality and vigor with a brand new identity and personality.

"Sorry, I was negligent."

"I didn't consider your personal feelings when I made this wish. I took it for granted that all the genies in the magic lamps wanted to regain their memories."

Being able to admit mistakes and correct them has always been Atun's greatest strength, so he chose to apologize without hesitation.

This is true.

Atun never thought that there was a genie in the magic lamp who was unwilling to recover his past memories.

"Don't apologize for this kind of thing too often, otherwise your apology will seem cheap."

Reaching out and patting Aten's golden shell again, Batis sighed helplessly.

My master is good in every way except that he is too gentle.

Well, it might not be quite appropriate to say gentle, it would be more accurate to say indifferent and nonchalant.

Apart from science, Aten didn't pay any attention to normal interpersonal relationships and how to deal with people.

Therefore, Atun's apology was more of a sign of bother than an apology.

——As long as I apologize, will you forgive me?

This is the underlying logic behind Atun’s apology.

If it were an ordinary person, such an apology would not only be insincere but would also easily make people dislike it.

However, when the same thing happened to Atun, you couldn't see the slightest hint of perfunctoriness.

Because Aten did realize his mistake, but he didn't know how to make up for it.

"How about I use my third wish to make you forget the past?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Batis' helplessness instantly turned into anger.

"You guys, do you really like to waste your precious wishes on such trivial matters?"

"Even if you wish to rule the world, it would be ten thousand times better than this!"

If Batis didn't know Atun's character well, he would have suspected that the other party was deliberately trying to make him angry.

boom!
Just when Batis was about to discuss further with Atun, a loud noise suddenly came from above them.

In an instant, a dark light suddenly flashed across the clear sky above the clouds.

It was as if time and space were torn apart, and a huge bird between existence and non-existence flew out from the rift in time and space.

call!
It was a bird with a red head and a black beak.

His body structure is more like that of a predatory bird like a pterosaur than a bird.

The moment He emerged from the rift in time and space, His originally illusory body quickly became substantial, and an icy and chilling aura emanated from it.

"I finally found you, Bastetto!"

With its eyes fixed on the golden beetle below, the big bird made a sound that only gods could understand.

"Bastetto?"

He raised his head calmly, and the two tentacles on Aten's head trembled unconsciously.

“He came to me.”

Slowly flying out of Aten's golden shell, Batis' expression suddenly became silent.

No, "silent" might not be the right word.

At this moment, Batis seemed to have suddenly changed his personality, his expression seemed unusually gloomy and arrogant.
