At this time, Edward could already see the truth hidden by the swarm of insects. Spears were as sharp as a forest, and arrows were like rain. The tall jackal-headed men had a dull metallic luster, and their muscles were bulging. These were the guards of Anubis, the god of death, who wielded sharp heavy weapons. The long time in the Underworld had honed their martial arts skills to perfection.
Under the cover of the swarm of insects, an army of nearly a thousand people silently arrived at the foot of the pyramid. Edward was on the verge of despair. He blocked the front with his sword and scanned from left to right. Even the weakest Death God's werewolf guards were at the level of a vampire knight.
Edward said in despair, "Damn it! Imoden clearly hasn't killed the Scorpion Emperor yet. How can he use the bracelet of death? "
"Because the Egyptian gods are taking sides!" Chen Ang's voice came from behind him. He turned around in surprise and saw Chen Ang walking down the steps of the pyramid. He held two scriptures across his chest and looked at the guards with interest. "It seems that my several lies have provoked the Egyptian gods," he explained casually. "Otherwise, they wouldn't have forgiven Imoden so easily.
"However, if they see me as an enemy, then Imoden, who has already ignited the godfire and has the potential to become a god, is a great target to rope in. After all, he was the high priest of ancient Egypt, and the most outstanding one at that. He has a bit of a relationship with the gods. Now that Egypt is in a slump, if Imoden can expand his faith and restore Egypt's glory, then why not give him a god's position?
"Although the laws of this world have changed, like a dry beach after the tide recedes, the gods can only rely on the holes they dug in advance to survive in this little bit of seawater. The process of Imoden becoming a god is like a land animal standing on the beach, trying to transform into a fish. He doesn't know that the sea is far away in the timeline, and he will suffer the pain of drying up thousands of years later.
"But it's not the gods who bear this risk, so why should they care? As long as Imoden doesn't kill one or a few of them and take their precious seawater resources, the Egyptian gods won't mind helping him."
Chen Ang slowly descended and faced the countless jackal-headed army. "Am I right? Imoden, and Anubis? "
"Although you will not be able to unleash the full potential of the Death Bracelet before you kill the Great Emperor Scorpion, with Anubis opening the back door for you, it will not be difficult for you to summon these Death Guards." Chen Ang shook his head and sneered. "Are they not afraid of losing everything?"
Edward's eyes flashed as he asked in a low voice, "You said that this world is a world where the 'sea' ebbs, and the gods are the fish left on the beach when the tide ebbs, relying on the water in the puddles to survive … Then what is the sea? Faith? "
Chen Ang shook his head slightly. "The composition of the 'sea' is very complicated. It's a side of the Origin Force. You can understand it as an environment that has affinity for souls and spirituality. It's a side of the tide of the Origin Force. The truly powerful gods have already retreated with the tide, such as Fuxi, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and Brahma. The ones that remain are all abandoned by this world.
"Faith is a resource, but it's not what the gods rely on for survival. The Origin Force is. It's not that they don't need faith now, but the cake left behind is no longer a real scarce resource! "
Chen Ang looked at the guards of Anubis and sneered. "It seems that enough people have died in the First World War. Otherwise, you wouldn't have the leisure to interfere with the human world. A large number of souls dying in a short period of time will create a relatively small tide, just like the rain from the sky. It can nourish the 'stupid gods' left on the beach, allowing them to temporarily recover their energy. However, they are too active, and they are still consuming their life force."
Chen Ang glanced at the guards of death surrounding the Great Pyramid of Giza and sneered. "Interfering with the real world on such a large scale will rapidly consume the dividends left by the First World War. This will harm the interests of all the gods. If the Egyptian gods were not the origin of Judaism, and Judaism was split into Christianity, Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Truth Judaism, which make up the majority of the world's faith, and the only religion that can compete with them, Buddhism, has no gods at all, how could they possibly reach an agreement?"
Edward's expression became serious. He suddenly understood. "Is this the deep background of the mummy world? In this world where the gods have shown their divinity, the background story is not mentioned at all. The truth about the gods? This Professor Chen of the Nine States Team is indeed unfathomable. I'm afraid he is already close to the level of a ten-star god. That's why he can sense part of the laws of this world so keenly. "
Chen Ang continued, "The First World War has just ended, and you people want to start a second full-scale war like this. Greedy and shameless gods! You people have done this again and again, using the large-scale deaths of humans as a temporary change in the Origin Force to replenish your water source. Although the Origin Force absorbed by this change is like the difference between fresh water and seawater when you are born, when you are in such a desperate situation, you don't have to hesitate to drink poison to quench your thirst, do you? "
There was a small commotion among the jackal-headed Death Guards. Suddenly, these tall jackal-headed men opened up a path, and the handsome former high priest of ancient Egypt, now a demigod, Imoden, appeared in front of Chen Ang in a black robe. Surrounded by the Death Guards, he looked straight at Chen Ang.
Imhotep said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, my immortal enemy, thank you for telling me all this, so that I would not be momentarily lost on the path of eternity. You have pushed me onto this path, stripped me of everything, left me with nothing so that I could pursue it. With hatred and venom, you have forced me to pick up what I once feared and despised."
"In order to take revenge on you, I have killed my former soul!"
"How much do the gods in the sky fear you?" Imoden suddenly looked up and pointed at the stars in the sky. "They should fear you because you are more ruthless and cruel than them. As a mortal, you are more divine and awe-inspiring than the gods. There used to be darkness in front of my eyes, until I accepted it with my heart. "
"I always remember that this darkness was given to me by you. The flames of hatred burned in it, and it was by relying on this flame that I was able to avoid being lost in the darkness."
"The gods gave me the power of revenge because of their fear, but I know it is not enough. This power is not enough, and the fear and fear of the gods is not enough! If they do not use all their strength to fight against you, then in the end, you will make them die without a place to be buried! You will step on the bones of the gods and announce everything you want to create … "
Imoden's eyes seemed to be burning with flames. He looked up at Chen Ang's eyes and said in a low voice, "And my soul will forever burn with the flame of revenge, until death!"
