Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

Suddenly, Ritsuka, who had followed Novia in, found herself in a completely different place.

The enormous sun was about to disappear at the horizon of the desert, and the majestic Nile River flowed by as if it were nestled against the sun.

Soon, a strong sandstorm surged above the boundless sea of ​​sand and the benevolent river. Ritsuka instinctively covered her face, only then noticing the stone around her neck. It was because of the stone that the sandstorm could not get her lost.

Soon, the sandstorm disappeared.

At the center of the dissipating storm, spiderweb-like threads appeared, intertwined like sand-colored cocoons, from which life then emerged.

A humanoid creature emerged from it, but due to the intense sunlight and rising heat, its exact appearance was obscured.

Although it is in human form.

However, Ritsuka felt that this person's head resembled both a dog and another animal.

"You are……"

"Ah, that's right."

He admitted, "I killed my brother Osiris, locked him in a coffin, cut him into fourteen pieces, and threw them into the Nile to float away. Was I happy then? Very happy."

He was once revered as the king of the gods, but he was also accused of possessing great power from his demonic identity. Although he was regarded as a demon, he could not be ignored as the god of war, so some people secretly worshipped him. His name was the god of war, Set.

"Humans, you have trespassed into the abode of the great Pharaoh and deserve to pay with your lives."

The god who killed his brother sneered and stretched out his hands, which immediately turned the color of mud and sand, with seven white jewels inlaid on each side. These exquisitely engraved symbols meant life in Egypt.

Set is indeed the Egyptian god of war, but there are some differences. Simply put, it is a fantasy version based on the Egyptian god of war. After all, even a completely new mythology has traces of the original mythology. In general, he is indeed a deity.

"A divine shell surrounds: The God-King slaughters fourteen coffins."

The full-force attack, equivalent to a Noble Phantasm, was unleashed in this way. This god was too powerful to bear the 'evil' of Egypt. Moreover, because he had the feat of killing the chief god Osiris with his divine power, this attack was something that no Servant could escape, let alone Ritsuka, who was just an ordinary person.

"...How hateful! How despicable! How loathsome!"

However, before Ritsuka could even witness the attack, Seth suddenly barked and roared.

Following the direction the God of War was looking, Ritsuka noticed that the majestic Nile River had turned blood red, and there was a faint "waaaaaaa" sound. It seemed that many small dots had appeared on the God of War's body, colliding fiercely with divine power. The aftershocks were very weak, but because there were so many of them, cracks appeared on Set's body. Slowly, slowly, the cracks grew fatally larger.

The next second, hail began to fall on the desert. The all-encompassing white landscape made Ritsuka feel as if her retina had been burned. The wails of the Egyptian gods were deafening. In the horror born from the aftershocks of the violent collision, the raging hurricane made the darkened world teeter on the brink of collapse.

Soon after, as her vision and hearing gradually returned, Ritsuka heard Novia's voice.

“Osiris Sands, your subordinates cannot stop me.”

When the orange-haired girl looked up again, she realized that everything just now seemed to be an illusion. She and the others were still moving forward in the Library of Alexandria at the bottom of the sea, and they were about to reach the last floor. Moreover, she looked at the second prince, Mashu and the others, and they had the same look in their eyes as she did.

What just happened might have been somewhat bewildering for Ritsuka, but for the Second Generation, who was well-versed in history and mythology, this was clearly a widely circulated scene of the desecration of Egyptian gods—

The Ten Plagues... can also be seen as the powers of the one true God of the Church.

Indeed, as the Second Emperor had thought, Novia used the Ten Plagues. Although the Ten Plagues had never actually occurred in the world, there were too many records of them and they were very famous. So, just as Ptolemy used culture to create a new mythology, he could also use this to create a power specifically for Egypt.

In fact, it was through this means that Novia was able to easily defeat the countless Egyptian gods by only using the power of the Pope. In this library, there is not just one god; just as the initial symbols emerged like sand, hundreds or even thousands of Seth could appear.

However, faced with this power specifically for Egypt, especially the Egyptian gods, no matter how many gods appeared, the result would be the same, since they were like sand, only able to rely on the sun.

Reveal your divine punishment.

Look up to everything in Egypt.

Kneel down, gods of Egypt.

This was the greatest terror in the history of the Egyptian gods, aside from the invasion of the giants; its name was—

The ten calamity deities were extinct.

"I'll handle it myself."

Novia's voice sounded distant, but to Ritsuka, no matter how terrifying the mystery or how powerful the deity, it was all easily penetrated by her ability, just like a dream that no matter how powerful a god or human was, they could not reach.

...No one can keep up with the speed of dreams.

However, in a daze, after Novia walked in alone, the girl blinked and noticed that there was a pillar or a very large stick not far away. A human figure leaned out from behind it, looking at the direction Novia went in with interest. Finally, after making a Buddhist gesture of putting his hands together, he seemed to be about to leave.

Finally, as if sensing Ritsuka's gaze, the humanoid figure turned around, smiled at Ritsuka, and then disappeared.

"..."

Ritsuka was momentarily speechless, because it was a monkey face—not a metaphor, but a monkey face that looked very friendly.

Are there monkeys among the Egyptian gods?

The girl couldn't help but ask, puzzled.

……

The moment they entered, the purple lightning storm that had been violently reverberating deep within the room, visible in Novia's azure eyes, intensified, encircling the two coffins. Simultaneously, the outline of one of the coffins, located on the inner side of the storm, began to vaguely appear, its surface adorned with a unique portrait—

A young girl dressed as a pharaoh.

"What, I'm already here, aren't you going to meet me?"

A creaking, grinding sound arose, accompanied by a tiny, continuous, and chilling vibration. Although no one touched it, the coffin lid opened by itself, instantly exposing the inside of the coffin to the air. Purple miasma then began to spread throughout the room along with the etheric lines.

Within this purple miasma spreading from etheric lines, Novia saw a large number of light particles gather together, forming a shape resembling the sun. Each particle of light was knowledge, an equation, specifically the spiritual equation of the Dean of the Atlas Academy.

And then, we saw the 'Sands of Osiris,' whose skin had become somewhat dark and whose hair had even turned black—the supreme god who ruled over all things in Egypt in this new mythology.

"It really is you. I was a little dazed when I saw you. I'm sorry."

The Sands of Osiris murmured softly, their eyes closed.

"...Speaking of which, why did you do all this—"

Will what I'm doing affect you?

Novia was interrupted mercilessly by the Sands of Osiris before she could finish speaking.

"...No, it's just that you are the dean, right? As the dean, shouldn't you be trying your best to avoid a future of destruction, or acting as a driving force? Your current actions are affecting human history."

"Is that so? According to my calculations, the permanent closure of the Library of Alexandria will not have any impact on human history, because the Atlas Academy will not do anything about it, whether it gains or loses, it's all the same."

The Sands of Osiris remained with their eyes closed. "You came as Chaldea for the Holy Grail, didn't you? Now that I have succeeded through Ptolemy's ritual, I give it to you."

Having said that, a Holy Grail appeared from the etheric lines extending from the sands of Osiris and was handed to Novia intact.

Novia glanced at the Holy Grail and then at the Sands of Osiris, where the God-Eater plan had already succeeded, and couldn't help but sigh.

As we all know, once the singularity is repaired, everything that happened there will be presented in a way that is acceptable in 'human history'. Therefore, the 'ideal king' who was never recorded on the planet should also disappear, since his recent cultural influence will also be erased.

However, since it is located in the Library of Alexandria, once the Library of Alexandria closes and disappears forever from the human world, the 'Sands of Osiris' that remain in the coffin and become the 'King of Ideals' will also be engraved on the planet.

After all, she was just staying here, and no one would affect her, nor would she affect anything. She would simply inscribe Ptolemy's new mythology on the planet in a way that only she herself would remember.

This could be considered a clever trick, since the next time the museum opens will likely be the day this planet faces its end.

In this way, having obtained the Holy Grail, the matter of the Roman singularity has been resolved smoothly, and what follows will not affect human history in the slightest. Therefore, leaving in this way seems to be the best solution.

Just as in the first century, it was enough for the two to simply exchange benefits with each other.

"Oh right, I remember I asked you to send that guy Albion back, didn't I? If you just leave like this now..."

Novia continued the conversation, "So what should she do next?"

“Nero will handle this matter, and I have already informed the Atlas Institute that this is a commission from our institute.”

The Sands of Osiris answered calmly.

"I still don't quite understand why you've become like this—"

"Do you think you understand me very well?"

The eyes of the Sands of Osiris opened.

With a whoosh, she stood up as if floating, her eyes gleaming with a color completely different from that of the Egyptian gods up to this day.

Pure white.

But it seems to be the same Supreme Eye as the Supreme God Ra.

“Listen, I am the Sands of Osiris, I am the Philosopher's Stone that stains the earth red, I am the Memorial Stone, I am limbs, I come from the crimson sky—”

"Hermes the Spirit Particle Verifier!"

Instantly, the Trident Hermes, the largest recording medium of the Atlas Institute, which collects, distinguishes, and records a great deal of information on Earth, and which can provide answers simply by inputting a question, appeared behind the Sands of Osiris like a piece of armor, and quickly transformed into a giant robot that stretched out its hands to protect the Sands of Osiris.

Normally, the power of the Sands of Osiris alone can surpass the power of the Twenty-Seven Ancestors. In just one day, it would be enough to completely rewrite the world into a different future, that is, the scene after the world is truly destroyed. It is not a mental landscape of the inherent barrier, but a fragment of the real future, somewhat similar to the power of the Smoke Mirror.

This is merely the result of the ultimate calculation of the Sands of Osiris, cutting off a piece of the future and permanently storing it in the present.

Therefore, the Sands of Osiris, which is now both the Sands of Osiris and the Sands of the Great God of the new mythology, can completely achieve the magical theory of the world egg. By spending computation, the inner and outer sides of the egg, that is, the inner and outer sides of the world, can be alternated and cover the real world.

The Sands of Osiris not only signify Hermes' power, but also demand that Novia leave. In other words, it's a threat that if you continue to obstruct me, I will recklessly cover the world.

"Although what you said makes a lot of sense, however..."

Novia shook her head, squinting her eyes. "But since I've come to you and chosen to take you away, in order not to disappoint my expectations, let's do it the old way."

As usual, just like when we first met at the Library of Alexandria, whoever wins gets to do what they say.

"as you wish."

Thus, in the instantaneous surge of the River Styx, behind the Sands of Osiris protected by the robots transformed by Hermes, endless Egyptian gods displayed their majesty, as if standing in the universe, remaining motionless for a long time.

It was as if he was still demonstrating his current strength to the first pope of the Holy Church and his 'enemies'.

In the deathly silence, Novia gazed intently at the Sands of Osiris, who had closed her eyes once more. Looking at the girl, whose figure remained unchanged despite the changes, she murmured softly, "Anything that exists on Earth will be seen through by Hermes, but even so, I still intend to face you in this way."

Not the Hun king, not the sun UO, not the god of divination, but the Pope, the 'enemy' most familiar to him.

Therefore, countless burning points of light emerged in the room, mingling with the vast power of the gods. Amidst the endless movement of sand, these lights were taut like strings, as if they were eroding the flowing River Styx, replacing everything in Egypt.

Meanwhile, in order to deal with the seemingly endless Egyptian gods, hundreds of figures appeared on the River Styx, reflecting the fields and everything in the world.

Based on the Noble Phantasm 'Possessor of Mystery' and the skill 'Holy Pope', which are automatically activated by consciousness, the figures of all the popes who have existed since the founding of the church are revealed. Each pope has an EX-level magic resistance, a minimum level of A-level territorial construction, and all members are judges. In addition, there are illusory shadows of angels and demons.

Thus, in order to deal with the enemies of the first pope, all the beings that were called upon faced the Egyptian gods above with ruthless killing intent. In the instant that they were locked onto by countless rays of light, even the gods who appeared as gods of a new mythology were stunned for a moment and fell into a daze.

With just a single thought, everyone in that camp spontaneously exerted their strength to carry out his orders, transform his ideas, and draw upon boundless power to create this astonishing spectacle. The sharp edge tore through the River Styx of Egypt, and wherever it passed, everything was cleanly and decisively sliced ​​into a straight line.

Pointing towards the gods, countless traces intertwine with the sands of Osiris.

Moreover, the ten calamity gods have been severed at this time, so the Church is receiving a boost, while Egypt is receiving a negative boost.

To this, the Sands of Osiris simply nodded slightly, unsurprised.

Yes, I believe in your power. Even though I used the plan to rewrite the world since the Age of Gods and achieved the technology to bring wild fantasies into reality, I believe that the dreams that humanity places on you are no less powerful.

Even though that's what she thought, her hands didn't slow down at all, and countless ether threads began to extend towards Novia.

The power of all the gods, including Ra, Tefnut, Nut, Set, and Osiris, was carefully and gently picked out like grains of sand, and gathered one by one in the hands of the Sands of Osiris, which became a towering mountain.

Completely unified, this is the Sands of Osiris at this moment.

By constantly adjusting and ensuring cyclical calculations, all power is channeled around the same axis and the same will, converging in one's own hands. With this will, one can change everything before them. Moreover, with Hermes' strategy, everything on Earth can be observed...

"In the beginning, God said, 'Let there be light.'"

Hearing that familiar voice and those familiar words made Osiris Sands feel a little disoriented.

It was just a brief moment of distraction, a fleeting instant that passed in the blink of an eye.

Now, with Novia's will, the Egyptian gods have fallen, for the destructive power of the Ten Plagues is far too terrifying for Egypt if given non-existent illusions, and countless mournful cries have already spread.

"Hermes still has the strength to fight."

"The Holy Spirit arose from the words of Revelation."

To this, Novia simply smiled, spread her arms, and listened to the countless voices from among the stars.

Countless crisp sounds echoed, and countless powers extended from within. Even the three Apocalyptic Beasts, which were originally intended as the first food source, did not appear in their enormous form, but instead merged into it with an inclusive attitude.

At this moment, the first step of the Book of Revelation is complete.

In the Library of Alexandria, far beneath the sea, the vast light of countless stars completely pierced the darkness, and terrifying power poured in continuously. The power from the boundary record belt also resonated through this, transforming into a rainbow-like bridge that crossed infinite space and time to reach this library.

Shall we proceed to the second step?

That shouldn't be necessary.

The sword held in Novia's left hand, manifested by the power of angels floating in the sky, is transformed from the staff once possessed by Jesus Christ. It is not a holy sword created from a planet, but a radiant weapon that, through numerous legends derived from the Book of Revelation, brings together the concepts of many legendary and even non-existent weapons.

Amidst the infusion of infinite miracles and power, a majestic throne emerged behind Novia.

It was as if we were being welcomed into a sky full of stars.

Amidst the roar of the ten plagues from Egypt, countless concepts drew this throne, causing it to rise slowly.
