Miss Heber is fighting her way out of the Lostbelt!

Even she herself could hear the weakness and paleness of these words.

——To the Egyptians three hundred years later, the Red King was no different from the Ennead Gods.

"I see. Your Majesty is protecting Egypt... by destroying it."

After a long silence, Heber said softly.

Volume 25: Who else wants to tell a story? (Please read and collect)

After renounced all belief in gods, Ozymandias ascended to become the Red-Crowned God-King.

He unified the royal power and divine power in the world. Upper and Lower Egypt regained vitality under the rule of Ozymandias, and all things were developing steadily according to the grand plan of the Red King.

Until a hundred years later, Ozymandias lost control.

His desires became increasingly twisted and alien, forcing him to bring disaster upon his people and use their spirituality to appease his own hungry desires.

To this end, Ozymandias rediscovered his faith in the old beast gods, such as... Best.

Bethel, this name first appeared during the Second Dynasty.

She has been worshipped since 3000 BC, when she was the war goddess of Lower Egypt, battling with Sekhmet of Upper Egypt across the sands, oases, and wastelands.

They had fought with sword and claw and sinew and courage, and she knew every secret under the sun, and secrets meant power.

Until the gods representing kingship and revenge came and cast them all down from the wasteland.

——Scar Father, the ruler of February.

This one-eyed, old and cunning god seized their power of war, and as time passed, the glorious twins took the sun's place.

The former was in the land of Egypt and was called Horus.

The latter were respectively regarded as Aten, the rising sun of light, and Atum, the setting sun of dusk.

——Mr. Day, the ruler of January, and Mr. Dusk, the ruler of November.

Their arrival made the beasts that were once gods become increasingly dwarfed. Because of her close relationship with her family, Best still retained some of her status, but Sekhmet fell again and again and was finally regarded as a pure beast.

Ozymandias values these old beast gods.

He believed that although these beast gods were defeated and dwarfed, they had at least ruled the wasteland and the human world for an extremely long time, and these beast gods could, to a certain extent, fight against the Nine Pillar Gods.

Then....

—Sekhmet’s name was salvaged by Ozymandias and reshaped into the image of Sheshfenhe.

The same relationship existed between Anubis and Hermanubis.

Khnum, the King of Rams; Thoth, the King of Parrots; Sobek, the King of Crocodiles.

These three still retained some wisdom at that time, but the remaining few former beast gods had mostly become monsters with only power.

Ozymandias re-endowed them with the status of Twilight, reshaping them with his immense desires and wisdom. Their existence greatly relieved Ozymandias of his wear and tear, allowing his uncontrolled desires to return to normal.

In Ozymandias's vision, this could last at least a thousand years.

But in just a hundred years, except for Khnum who was still holding on, the rest of the wise gods had all been lost.

Only three hundred years passed from the time Ozymandias ascended with his glorious dreams to the time he was forced to resort to destruction to alleviate his loss of control.

"The people of Thebes, they are the people of Ozymandias. From birth to death, they are under the rule of the great king of Ozymandias...but you have destroyed all of this.

Pepe said softly: "Even if you sacrifice your life, how much can you repay?

"How long can the whole of Thebes share the Red King's crazy desire?" Hebe suddenly spoke.

"Less than five years," Pepe replied.

"How long can the new Nine Sages last?"

"Depending on the power they hold on to, it will take at least twenty years. The Three Kings will hold on even longer..." Pepe's eyes were complicated. "The King of Rams is an exception among exceptions."

She already knew what Heber was going to do.

"I understand." Hebe bowed respectfully. "Then please shelter these exiles for a while. I will go to Memphis to meet His Majesty the Red King."

Her expression was one of relieved joy, like a lamb about to step onto the altar.

Pepe stared at her blankly, his mouth full of bitterness.

The sunlight around them suddenly became so bright that it was blinding. Pepe nodded silently. She watched Heber turn around and walk on the lonely road to the audience.

The golden purple twilight has filled the entire sky. The girl with beautiful green eyes and flaxen hair is walking away and will never come back.

Pepe gently closed her eyes, and her figure disappeared like yellow sand.

The illusory cat walked with light steps, blending into the wind, catching up with those who were traveling far away, and protecting them as they walked freely in the burning wind.

……

"what."

As Heber walked on her way north, she waved and opened the information panel.

The tiny grains of sand on the road gathered into words that only she could understand.

Daytime, often referred to as the "heroic" rank.

It is because of their actions that the marks they receive are different.

No two marks are exactly the same. Even if they are all "position creation" or "prop production", they have different levels and different emphases.

Take the Knights of the Round Table as an example. Even though they all possess similar "leadership" marks, some are good at commanding large troops, while others are suitable for fighting alone. Some can boost morale under the sunlight, while others are good at night battles and sneak attacks.

"My performance was so impressive, I'm sure the second mark must be quite unique." Heber's lips curled slightly. "Will it combine multiple effects, or simply specialize in one aspect? Maybe it will directly obtain a mark of 'divinity'."

Just thinking about it, Heber couldn't help but hum a little tune.

Heber Stanton/Eamon Hetep

[Path: Priest (Loudbelt Only). Priests are scribes of silence, inscribing silent inscriptions and honoring the approaching doom.]

[Principle: Winter (Lootbelt-only). Represents the principle of silence, ending, and not-quite-fading.]

[Rank: Daylight (Lootbelt-only). The second level of the Path of Ascension, the sun is moving on the correct celestial path.]

[Mark held: First Mark, God of Medicine. Trauma and disease, healing and healing; the study of the soothing of death with knife, medicine, and music. What we will heal is the world itself, and our last great enemy to remember is death.]

The God of Medicine, a symbol with complex effects, was condensed when Hebe traveled south, dispelling darkness with his twin snake staff and resurrecting the "dead."

Its effects can be roughly divided into three types.

The first thing is to treat illnesses, whether they are internal injuries, external injuries, or mental trauma.

However, it should be noted that treatment is not a cure. Severe injuries are irreversible, and even those who are treated will still be left with permanent "scars" in their body or spirit. If they encounter similar situations in the future, they may re-injure the old injuries.

Secondly, it is to dispel unfavorable factors and negative influences.

This isn't much to say. A top-tier divine skill can remove negative effects at daylight level and below, and even dusk-level effects can be dealt with appropriately. The prerequisite is having the corresponding "medium."

Finally, it is to appease death.

It is not about victory, but about comfort; it is not about conquest, but about remembrance. Unlike its name, this mark does not advocate unlimited "eternal life", but requires people to accept their own "death".

Then comes the problem.

Since Mark of the God of Medicine requires people to die naturally, why does it show a therapeutic effect?

Because the meaning of "deadline" is: life span naturally reaches its limit, and one dies with an optimistic attitude.

The so-called illness and suffering are actually against the limit - they shorten lifespan and make people begin to fear death, and even cannot find peace after death.

To this end, various means are needed to enable patients to calmly face their final days, and even, when necessary, to quiet the restless souls of the deceased.

If quantified with specific numbers, the effect of this mark should be: large-scale recovery of health + removal of weakening + limited-time battle continuation... and painless death after the effect ends, perhaps with special attacks against the undead.

With the success of the first mark, Hebe's expectations for the second mark naturally increased.

Heber read on with a smile.

The next moment, her smile froze.

Second Mark: "The Demon King." Silence and endless pursuit: the Sarkaz begin their arduous journey, three hundred years late. They revere the sun, the flame, and the forger, but they always have a moment for you, the original pioneer, the uncrowned Demon King.

"Is this still Egypt? What's the point of this?"

Volume 26: I agree!

"Devil King", although this mark is named "King", it does not focus on the rule of reality, but is stronger in the royal power of spirit, faith and spirituality.

The effects of this mark can be roughly divided into two categories.

First, the "Law of Silence" was established. Within the scope of the commandment, everyone except Hebe would be suppressed, but Hebe could "pardon" the target, and the pardoned person could act freely within the scope of the commandment.

Once someone violates the commandment, it will turn into punishment, depriving the punished person of a random ability for a short period of time, but not including the mark. This skill will be invalidated for those with higher status.

It reflects both the suppression of the superiors on the authoritarian path and the prohibitions of the priestly path. In other words, it is a large-scale area of silence and weakness.

It's simply a magical skill of mowing down enemies in broad daylight, a perfect anti-military-level special attack.

Secondly, they hold "special powers".

This power allows Hebe to acquire an ability no higher than his current status for a short period of time.

It seems very simple, but it is actually very advanced because this ability includes "marking".

It can be said that Heber is fully capable of forcibly simulating the third mark through the "Demon King", and then combining these three marks to form "achievements" within the duration.

Is this a fantasy? No, it is actually possible and the success rate is not low.

Sister Morgan once used the "kingship of the island" as collateral to forcibly take the future, and became the "dusk" of the road to disaster in advance!

"It really deserves to be the mark of the emperor's privilege. It's simply cheating in a blatant manner." Heber thought.

Putting aside the embarrassing name "Sarkaz", the effect of this mark can be said to be extremely powerful, worthy of being a mark that spans the paths of the three major principles of light, winter, and blade.

The power of this mark was far greater than anything Heber had ever seen before.

When necessary, it may be used to reverse the inevitable situation.

The gathered sand and gravel gradually dispersed, and the girl stood up again, gazing far away at the end of the horizon. She seemed to see the God-King hanging high in the sky, eternally ruling over all living beings.

"It is time to stop keeping Ozymandias waiting."

Heber smiled calmly, relaxed and comfortable.

As if sensing her "provocation", the calm clouds surged like a tide.

The blazing light poured down from the clouds and landed on her toes.

Let's go.

......

Seven days later, Hebe saw the three magnificent pyramids on the horizon again.

After so many simulations, no matter how amazing the spectacle was, it couldn't move her at this moment.

The eagle-feather-crowned warrior, a military noble named Sekanahat, was now kneeling on one knee at the gate of Memphis. He had been kneeling there since the day before yesterday, waiting for the arrival of the new "Hermanubis".

On the other side is the priest wearing a cylindrical hat. He is more pious and humble. He kneels on the ground with his hands opened and raised, even his forehead touching the ground.

Their surrender represented the withdrawal of the two major factions, the military aristocracy and the temple priests, from the competition for the seat of Hermanubis.

It was because three days ago, the King of Rams walked out of the pyramid with a message.

It was a mark solidified on the stone slab, as if burned by lightning and fire.

The thin figure, dressed in black robes and wearing a crown as blazing as flames, lowered his head with spiral horns and cast an indifferent and contemptuous gaze at them.

"Please stop this endless and boring quarrel. Your Majesty is tired of you."

Krum, the King of Rams and Prime Minister, gently lifted the slate in his arms.

"According to His Majesty's decree, the new Hermanubis has arrived. His name is Imenhotep. You may prepare for the ceremony."

Just like that, the conflict that affected two major factions and dozens of families was put to an end without any hesitation.

No matter what complaints they had or how much they refused to obey, they all submitted to the Red King's order.

In the middle of the road where the two major factions of nobles and priests were kneeling, the thin and slender figure of the Ram King quietly appeared. He still held the burnt stone slab in his arms, and his burning pupils stared into the distance.

Finally, light footsteps were heard at the end of the road under martial law.
