Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

Samael gasped, his mind racing, and stared in horror at the area.

hum!

At the same time, the heavens and earth resonated, and three blue-white beams of light pierced through the chaotic mist, striking the sky like heavy hammers, tearing open the Egyptian sky, and forming mirror-like cracks in the fragile world wall under the chaotic storm.

In an instant, a bright star of the Demon Broom fell from the dark void. Within the blazing white flame at its tail, thousands of tear-like star crystals scattered in all directions, illuminating the approaching dawn in the dim world.

The tenth day, the end of humanity, Ragnarok, came as prophesied!

Chapter 199 The Afterglow of the Nile

"I am the commander of the Greek army and an ally of Ramses II. I have already sent out messages for help to the surrounding areas, and someone will be coming to pick up this ship soon! Follow me!"

Seeing the urgency of the situation, Samael immediately invoked divine will to set up a protective barrier, and then, without further ado, picked up the female pharaoh and swiftly flew towards Egypt.

A moment later, a jet-black dragon emerged from the Chaos Sea, its claws ripping up the wrecked Dark Sun Ship, and flew towards Thermopylae amidst the screams of the survivors inside.

In a corner of the hold, a graceful woman with long black hair and a flower hairpin adorned her head, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, praying repeatedly.

At this moment, once Nitocris and Cleopatra were certain that their mission had been taken over and they were completely at ease, Samael immediately severed the projection onto that area of ​​air. His eyes were sharp and cold, and his pair of metal wings vibrated rapidly, shedding dozens of feathers. Driven by divine power, they shot forward into the vast sea fog.

Tsk tsk tsk!

Amidst the dull ripping of fabric, one after another, giant deep-sea serpents were pierced through their cores, hissing as they fell into the sea.

Looking down through the thin mist, one could see a black tide gradually spreading out, surging violently, with marine creatures tearing and biting wildly, their bodies twisting and swelling rapidly, their limbs deformed, transforming into hideous and terrifying shapes.

As three figures floated through the air, the mutants, smelling the delicious scent of their prey, leaped out of the sea and pounced on Samael and his companions.

Roar!

Just then, amidst a hundred roars, countless spell bullets, some as small as pigeon eggs and others as large as washbasins, of various colors, rained down, their fierce firepower washing over the surrounding sea.

chi chi...

However, the pieces of flesh floating in the sea did not lose their vitality; instead, they stuck together and coalesced into new, twisted entities.

"Spell: Blazing Heaven! Spell: Dense Heaven! Spell: Icy Heaven! Spell Layer: Broad Sunlight! Spell Layer: Dark Heaven Cave! Tamamo Heart Bullet!"

But in an instant, urgent divine incantations echoed all around, and dense magic arrays formed on both sides of Samael's path. Like a storm of spells, amidst the shouts of a fox spirit, they rained down, clearing the way for the three figures ahead.

"My dear, go ahead and do whatever you want. Leave things to Tamamo! Your beautiful and gentle wife will always be your strongest support."

She gracefully descended from mid-air, landing on the back of the hundred-headed dragon Ladon, before turning around and making a delicate gesture with her fingers.

Samael nodded in agreement, and then decisively accelerated.

"You bunch of ugly monsters, get out of my way! I'll show you what divine punishment is! — The Great Slaughtering World of the Shattered Realm! Tamamo Heart Bullet!"

But as Tamamo-no-Mae saw Samael off and turned to face the swarm of deformed creatures below, the scoundrel immediately changed her expression to one of disgust.

It seems like something's not right in there...

Hearing the shouts and cries, the ancient serpent twitched its lips, calmed itself, and finally found an opening to turn to the two female pharaohs and ask them questions.

"Let's talk about what happened as we go."

Nitocris composed herself and, with a slight pursing of her lips, began to describe the situation in Egypt.

Just three days earlier, as Pharaoh was preparing to assemble his army and march on Thermopylae as agreed, an uninvited guest arrived on the Red Sea—Moses, the prophet of Israel and brother of Ramses II.

Originally, Ramses II and Moses had long been at odds due to various reasons related to their positions and ideologies, and the two sides would never see each other again.

However, Moses brought something and a condition that the Pharaoh could not refuse.

The sacred object of Judaism—the Covenant!

If, on that stone slab, a new covenant is made with God, and the Radiant Composite Temple is transformed into a divine tower to welcome the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven, Ramses II's eldest son, who died during the Ten Plagues of Egypt, and his wife, Queen Nefertari, who died in sorrow, will be granted the right to be resurrected.

When his wife truly emerged from the light and stood alive before him, Ramses II had no more hesitation. He ultimately betrayed Ra, severed the connection between the Egyptian divine kingdom and the earth, and made a pact with the gods of a foreign land.

Once the ceremony was complete, the figure that had been plotting for so long emerged from the darkness, revealing its sinister intentions.

He will use Egypt as a sacrifice to dissolve all things, gather spiritual particles, and carve through the wall of the world to welcome the arrival of other gods.

Everything thus reached a point of no return.

Cyrus?

Samael's pupils contracted slightly, his voice was hoarse, and the two female pharaohs nodded with pursed lips.

No, it wasn't just Cyrus; the one who could dissolve the whole of Egypt was definitely not the Persian tyrant he fought on the land of nothingness.

In an instant, an answer seemed to emerge in Samael's mind.

Then, the ancient serpent recalled the wrecked sun ship and Apophis, the world-destroying serpent that stretched across the sea. Its eyes flickered, and it frowned as it asked, "How did you escape?"

Nitocris and Cleopatra were silent for a moment, then slowly gave Samael an answer he had not expected.

Moses was initially in charge of pursuing them.

However, no one expected that this prophet of Israel, the apostle of God, would turn against his own side at the crucial moment, shattering the vast magical barrier that sealed off the entire Egypt, and finally joining forces with Ramses II to secure a glimmer of hope for the escape of the Dark Sun Ship.

Meanwhile, in Egypt.

Cities are collapsing, the world is burning.

The once mighty Nile River has long since dried up, its riverbed crumbling to reveal dark voids, and the fertile land on both banks is melting away inch by inch under the onslaught of red and black ethereal storms.

A raging sandstorm swept across the land, obliterating all greenery and life. Torrential torrents surged from the cracks that tore the earth apart, causing landmasses to sink one by one. The wailing corpses of humans and livestock floated aimlessly, torn apart and devoured by increasingly mutated monsters.

Looking out, the whole of Egypt had become a desolate ocean, and the only remaining magnificent complex temple was like an isolated island in the deep sea. A few Egyptians who had managed to escape into this only refuge trembled as they looked at the impending apocalyptic catastrophe.

Puff puff puff!

In just a moment, the dozens of scorching sand sphinxes that had been resisting the descending blazing white beams of light at the four corners of the temple platform burst into clouds of blood mist and were crushed into a pulp. One by one, the temple guards wearing jackal god masks turned into dust.

The outcome before them was equally despairing; even within the Radiant Composite Temple, they had only a few more minutes to eke out a living.

As the three blazing white pillars of light in the sky converged, the temple's light layer was disintegrated inch by inch. People exposed to the outside world instantly dissolved into the halo and were decomposed into pure ether.

Even so, the figure on the high platform of the temple, its back bent under the weight, still roared and stood tall.

His body supported the last rays of the setting sun over the Nile.

Chapter 200 The True Culprit Who Wiped Out the Egyptian Gods

"Heh heh, give up struggling, beg for mercy, utter your cowardice, and you will ultimately drown in this boundless sea of ​​suffering. This is your only salvation!"

Under the dense, cascading white light, the towering figure spread its arms and laughed maniacally.

"On the earth... Pharaoh is omnipotent! All things and phenomena are in my... hands!! To expect me to kneel before you is futile..."

Ramses II's teeth chattered as he roared and struggled to his feet amidst the groans of his bones straining under the weight.

"It's noisy!"

However, the Pharaoh was slammed down by an invisible force, his body bursting into clouds of blood mist, his voice blocked in his abdomen and chest, and his figure under the white light bent his fingers forward, coldly pressing down as if crushing an insect.

boom!

At the critical moment, the silver fist, like a sharp sword cleaving through waves, forcefully sliced ​​open a hundred-mile-long waterfall of blazing white light, crashing into the majestic light and shadow, causing the surrounding space to shake violently.

At the same time, a crisp knocking sound rang out, and the silver-haired youth, leaning on a cane and carrying a square box on his back, staggered up the steps to the platform, helped up the exhausted Ramses II, and stood facing the light and shadow from afar.

"I'm sorry, I've been looking for a way to make amends, and I thought this time..."

Moses glanced at Ramses II, his lips moved for a moment, and he murmured something.

In order to lead the Jews out of Egypt, he betrayed his foster mother, turned against his brothers, and even allowed the god before him to bring down the ten plagues to torment the Egyptians.

This led to the death of Ramses II's eldest son and the tragic death of Queen Nefertari, who had grown up with them.

For many years, Moses never set foot on Egyptian soil again because he felt guilty and could not face it.

The Pharaoh was silent for a moment, then replied calmly, "At least Nefertari survived and successfully boarded that ship. I should be thanking you..."

Although the resurrection of the eldest son has become a pipe dream, leading to the annihilation of Egypt, fortunately, the queen whom he first used to shake his mind was truly given a body and her soul was liberated.

However, this may also prove that the Jewish exodus from Egypt was actually a setup.

No wonder that even after being deified, he was never able to find the souls of his wife and eldest son in the underworld.

It seems that their souls had long ago been secretly seized by this Jewish God.

Moses and everyone else were merely pawns on the chessboard.

But then Ramses II withdrew his hand, turning his back to his former brother, friend, and enemy, his voice cold.

"The solar boat has escaped. This is Egyptian soil. You have no right to stand here. Go away, the farther the better!"

The silver-haired youth casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, turned to look at Ramses II, his gaze clear.

"The prophets of Israel may not be qualified, but what about the adopted sons of a mother?"

Thousands of years ago, the prophets of Israel led their people back to the Promised Land and established a nation.

The one who returned this time was the adopted son of the Egyptian princess, a man who should have been born and raised there.

"I'm home, I'm not going anywhere..."

Moses smiled and extended his hand to the proud Pharaoh. His weathered murmur seemed to be both an answer to the other and a response to himself.

"..."

Ramses II remained silent for a moment, then slowly raised his hand and clasped it tightly with the arm he hadn't seen for a thousand years. He turned to look at the phantom in the blazing white pillar of light, and a relieved and hearty smile appeared on his lips.

"Alright, let's go again, don't fall behind, Moses!"

"As you command, my king!"

The Egyptian prince Moses bowed in respect, and then two figures met the blazing white light that crashed down from the sky, launching their final charge.

In the Tanbei Canyon, Martha, who was busy treating the wounded, suddenly felt a strong pang of fear. Instinctively, she reached into her clothes and took out the buzzing Star of David.

This is a metal creation, not a wooden gift from that foreign king, but an accessory given to her by the person who blessed her before she became a saint, led her out of the countryside, and guided her to follow divine revelation.

Click!

With a crisp sound reaching her ears, the purple-haired saintess froze, and the "Star of David" in her hand shattered into pieces.

Prophet!

Martha's pupils contracted sharply, and following her inexplicable intuition, she looked up in horror at the blazing white light band that broke through the chaos.

Meanwhile, Nitocris, who was flying over the Sea of ​​Chaos, looked blankly at the Eye of Horus pendant on her chest, which had several cracks. Cleopatra, who had realized a certain answer, also had a look of sorrow in her eyes.

"Your Majesty has fallen..."

"Laaa——"

Just as Samael's mind trembled violently, a familiar and high-pitched hymn came from the huge triangular prism-shaped band of bright white light that broke through the world wall, and the heavens and earth resonated with it.

In an instant, the surging red and black etheric tides stirred and raged on the chaotic sea, with towering waves rushing outwards and sweeping across the sky.

The ancient serpent gazed at Egypt, bathed in a halo of light, and stood tall in the air. The etheric tides seemed to encounter an invisible barrier, splitting off on either side of it.

"Horus of the Horizon, you are the master of the sky, the shield of life, and you bring protection upon this place! — Wall of the Sky!"

"Daughter of the Sun, Eye of Ra, the setting sun of Egypt, revealing the serpent of the end, my guardian Vajit—ending the dawn, forging the cradle of life!"

Seeing the all-consuming tidal wave still sweeping towards both sides, Pharaoh Nitocris and Cleopatra gritted their teeth and flew into the air, chanting divine incantations at high speed to activate the divine power within their bodies.

However, the phantom of the eagle flying above Nitocris's head and the golden cobra coiled around Cleopatra appeared dull and lifeless. As soon as they came into contact with the forming chaotic storm, they shattered into specks of light and dust, which drifted away with the wind.

The two were struck dumb, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, their faces pale as they crashed onto the deck of the Dark Night Sun Ship.

Is this really the end for us?

The two female pharaohs struggled to get up and fight against the etheric storm, but the Egyptian magic they used to do with ease was now completely unresponsive. The divine grace they had forcibly activated was also extremely weak. Their faces were ashen, and they closed their eyes in despair.

But the next moment, the raging tide of ether melted away instantly, like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun.

Samael glanced at the two female pharaohs behind him, their faces showing signs of relief, and his heart, which still held a sliver of hope, plummeted to the bottom.

The appearance of Apophis, the serpent of destruction and the enemy of Ra, was enough to prove that something terrible had happened in Egypt, but the ancient serpent still couldn't help but have some doubts.

Now it seems that the Ennead of Egypt has truly fallen!

As far as he knew, the nine pillars of Egypt were, in order:

Ra, the sun god, is the supreme god in Egyptian mythology.

Shu, the wind god, son of Ra, fathered Geb and Nut with Tefnut;
