Chen Ang did not choose to show up in Cairo. After all, Cairo was his territory now. Even if the Egyptians died, they were not worth much. However, without blood sacrifice, soul extraction, and corpses to refine into undead, Chen Ang's heart would ache if he let them die for nothing.
The people in Cairo were his property now. If they were alive, he could turn them into vampires, and if they were dead, he could turn them into mummies.
Therefore, Chen Ang chose the Great Pyramid of Giza, which was located about ten kilometers southwest of Cairo, the capital of Egypt. The Great Pyramid of Giza was probably the most famous and largest pyramid in Egypt. It was so famous that it had even become the symbol of Egypt. It was called the Great Pyramid of Giza because it was the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu of the Fourth Dynasty. It was also the largest and tallest Egyptian pyramid in the world.
Under the endless yellow sand, under the illumination of the setting sun, the shadow of the stone tower was constantly elongated. Chen Ang walked under the famous Sphinx and watched the sun sink below the horizon little by little. The red sunset shone on the earth and disappeared little by little in the western sky.
The four corners of the pyramid faced north, south, east, and west. The body of the pyramid was made of 2.3 million stones, each weighing 2.5 tons. It was magnificent. Together with the Great Pyramid of Khafre and the Great Pyramid of Menkaure, it formed a strange layout.
As the sun gradually sank into the darkness, Chen Ang slowly climbed the stone steps to the top of the pyramid. The Blood Guards in black stood by his sides solemnly. The moment the last ray of the setting sun sank into the ground, Chen Ang also reached the top of the pyramid. He held the Dark Scripture of the Dead in his hands. The hieroglyphs in the scripture glowed with an indescribable light.
This process symbolized the transfer of the rule of Atum, the god of twilight, to Ofir. Under the setting sun, the pyramid's shadow twisted like a snake. It was called Apib, the Serpent of Darkness!
Chen Ang's actions were not meaningless. Although the Great Pyramid of Giza had been plundered by countless invaders in the past three thousand and five hundred years, its location near Cairo had caused it to suffer from human activities. In the end, all the treasures inside the pyramid had been lost. Perhaps there used to be all kinds of mysterious ancient Egyptian artifacts inside, but now, it had been plundered by the invaders.
However, that didn't affect Chen Ang at all. All he needed was the pyramid itself.
Although all the cultural relics had been looted, the most important thing, the general structure of the pyramid, was still intact. When the sun set, the distorted shadow of the pyramid could be seen in the afterglow, symbolizing the threat of the Sun God Ra, Apib, the Dark Serpent. Chen Ang could still draw a lot of power from this ritual that happened every day.
Chen Ang softly chanted the mysterious incantation in the Dark Scripture of the Dead. The twisted shadow of the snake did not disappear after the sun set. Instead, it became darker and darker under the moonlight. The snake's head coiled around Chen Ang's body. Starting from Chen Ang's shadow under his feet, Chen Ang's shadow at the top of the pyramid turned into the shape of a snake's head, controlling the power accumulated in the great altar.
Standing on the pyramid, the blood clansmen in black lined up neatly. The shadows under their feet merged with the enormous Great Pyramid of Giza's shadow. Their faces were covered with shadowy snake tattoos, and their energy began to connect with the Great Pyramid of Giza.
As Chen Ang's tone slowly deepened, the pyramid's shadow that twisted like a snake's shadow finally calmed down. The huge mana was gradually absorbed into Chen Ang's shadow. One could still see that Chen Ang's shadow was projected on the pyramid. Because of the layers of stone steps, it was twisted like a snake, but this was already a normal optical phenomenon.
Zhang Ziqiang came to Chen Ang with a strange look on his face and said in a low voice, "The rest is almost ready! But will this ritual really work? "
"The pyramid is an altar, and this Great Pyramid of Giza is probably the most powerful altar in Egypt, or even in the world." Chen Ang closed the Dark Book of Necromancy and smiled. "In occultism, symbols, rituals, spells, and runes are the cornerstones of any magic. In other words, they have shaped the entire system of spellcasting."
"Now, I have used the world's largest altar, the Great Pyramid of Giza, and the most powerful source of magic, the power of the sun and the moon, to project the power of the shadow, which represents the opposite of the light of the sun and the moon. Using the pyramid as a ritual, I have opened the path to the great power of Apib, the Dark Serpent, which represents the shadow. I have used one of the two books that contain all the secrets of ancient Egyptian spells to absorb the power that Apib has accumulated for three thousand and five hundred years."
Chen Ang turned around and looked at Zhang Ziqiang. "Is it going to work?"
"In Egyptian mythology, after sunset, the power of Ra, the god of the sun, will be greatly weakened, but he still has to travel to the underworld on a boat under the protection of Seth and Mehen in the form of Auf Ra or Efu Ra. At that time, he has to be on guard against the attack of Apep, the Dark Serpent, which represents the opposite of the power of the sun."
"Its essence, to put it bluntly, is that after the sun sets, there is a conversion of positive energy and negative energy between heaven and earth, a process in which one waxes and the other waxes and wanes. The Dark Serpent Apib was actually imagined by the Pharaoh when he saw his shadow twisting like a snake on the pyramid when the sun set. Because the Pharaoh's power came from the sun, his shadow was naturally the embodiment of darkness."
"After knowing the origin, we can use these symbols cleverly and use rituals, spells, and runes to open the path to the power of the law."
Zhang Ziqiang listened with a blank face, but the power he felt was real. He could clearly feel the changes that had happened to Chen Ang, who was standing at the top of the pyramid, and the surrounding vampires who had assisted in completing the ceremony. They seemed to have merged with the shadow under their feet, like countless swimming snake shadows, worshiping the sacred snake at the top of the pyramid.
A deep and distant magic power lay dormant in their bodies.
At this time, Chen Ang looked up at the stars in the sky that were gradually becoming clearer. The clear sky of the pre-industrial era with low pollution made the stars in the sky bright. The starlight clearly projected down and shone on Chen Ang. He bowed his head and said, "It's almost time! Let's start! "
Zhang Ziqiang's face turned serious. He nodded slightly and turned on the communicator. "Hong, you can start now!"
At the other end of the communicator, Hong Fan looked at the dozens of vampires wrapped in black robes around him and ordered, "Begin the operation. Team 1 and Team 2 are responsible for Team Incubus in the Suez Canal Company. Team 3 and Team 4 are responsible for Team Taotie in Cairo City. Team 5 is directly under me and is responsible for Team Scarlet Blood. Yinglong, you are responsible for Team Wings of Light. "
