In Elwyn's imagination, he had been embarrassed to enter the temple of Ramesses II with the others to obtain the treasures he had left behind. However, Ramesses II had told him that he did not need to care about it at all. Not only did he not mind, but he also wanted Elwyn's help to destroy the entire relic …
This was crazy. Was there anything wrong with the guy in front of him?
Elwyn even had the thought that the Ramesses II he saw was an imposter.
Otherwise, why would he say such a thing?
"Why do you want to destroy this place?" Ramesses II repeated before slowly saying, "I don't want to scare you, Elwyn, but this building is not a temple to worship the gods. It is a cage."
"A cage?!" Elwyn asked. "Who is imprisoned here?"
"The gods!" Ramesses II said. "Or rather, those foreign beings that the world calls gods."
"Who are they?"
"Many. You can go to the antechamber and have a look. The statues of the gods imprisoned here are all there. I ordered people to build it."
Elwyn was silent. If he was not mistaken, the antechamber that Ramesses II mentioned should be the God's Vault.
He had just visited that place yesterday. There were more than 200 statues of the gods in that hall. Other than a few important gods, almost all the ancient Egyptian gods had been captured in one fell swoop. This was really a huge and crazy move.
Who would have thought that this pharaoh would actually imprison all the gods of his own country here?
The magicians, scholars, and archaeologists were still speculating about the purpose of Ramesses II building that hall. All kinds of speculations and conjectures sounded absurd, inconceivable, and impossible. But this time, the truth was far more terrifying than they had imagined.
"I hope you can understand that the gods imprisoned here are not friends, but enemies!" Ramesses II said. "According to my original intention, they should all be destroyed, but unfortunately, I am unable to do so. Their individual strength is nothing, but together, they are enough to compete with my magic. And those believers of the gods are also very troublesome … "
"Enemies?" Elwyn did not know about the grievances between the gods and Ramses II, but he recalled the latter half of the conversation he had with the Titan of Time. After the End War, the ancient gods and their creations were sealed by the Titan, and the entire planet entered a long dark age.
The Titans obtained flesh and blood and began to evolve naturally. More and more species appeared on Earth.
During this process, many outsiders also arrived on Earth.
Some of them were very weak. They were brought here by meteorites and had blended with the environment to become a part of the creatures on Earth.
Some were very powerful and had their own thoughts. They became gods and demons in the eyes of later humans. Among them, outsiders who were willing to communicate with humans began to teach magic to their believers through various methods. These spellcasters gradually developed into ancient warlocks.
When magic went out of control and developed to a certain extent, a terrible disaster followed.
In Kronos's description, it was the greatest crisis the planet faced after the Final War. The environment that had just recovered was destroyed, magical civilization regressed greatly once more, and the sealed Ancient Gods were stirring. Even the remnant will of the Titans that was left on the planet paid a great price.
Calculating the time, it should be before the disaster, which was the era when the power of the ancient warlocks was at its peak.
In this era, gods were slaughtered from time to time, and the ancient warlocks used this to prove their power.
The gods and demons who lost their believers also gradually fell.
In the lost city of Aoinya, near Sicily, such an evil existence was sealed.
Elwyn could understand all this, or rather, he used to think he understood, but now it seemed that it was not the case at all. Something like Ramses II imprisoning more than two hundred gods here in one breath was really beyond his imagination, and it made him have a clearer understanding of the madness of this era.
Those ancient warlocks were simply a group of powerful madmen.
Since ancient times, no one had ever heard of anyone who could do something like imprisoning gods.
But thinking about it, in every civilization in the world, there seemed to be stories like the Twilight of the Gods and the destruction of the gods.
Not only in Egypt, but also in the far east and the European magic civilization itself, the end of the previous era was the fall of the gods.
"In the past, these gods helped us. As long as enough sacrifices were paid to satisfy them, they would teach magic or fulfill other wishes of their believers. But with the excavation of the ancient ruins, especially the secrets left by the creators, it made us understand that these outsiders called gods are actually very dangerous, "Ramses II said. Ramesses II said, "They are actually a kind of burden. It seems that the feared divine power and the overflowing magic energy are like coordinates, guiding the evil in the void and leading them here continuously. Not to mention, many of the so-called gods themselves are the minions of those evil existences, a member of their evil army. I have confirmed with the three creators that if this situation is allowed to continue, destruction will be the only ending."
His words were consistent with what the Titan of Time said. Elwyn did not have much awe for the so-called gods.
Although he was amazed and shocked by Ramses II's approach, he was not opposed to imprisoning these gods.
"The signs are already very obvious. In the prophecy of the prophet, we have repeatedly seen the terrible disaster that is coming," Ramses II continued. "Just like how you came here, that disaster is also an established event. It is bound to happen. I hope that this time can be pushed back as much as possible. The most direct way is to kill the gods."
"This is why you imprisoned them here?"
"Yes. Spellcasters should rely on their own strength to use magic instead of listening to the guidance of the gods. A new era is about to begin. Although my kingdom and I will eventually perish, it is better than humans being completely destroyed." Ramses II nodded and continued, "According to my plan, I originally wanted to kill those gods directly, but these guys are very difficult to deal with. Their combined strength is enough to compete with the strength of me and my allies. In the end, I could only imprison them here. At this point, you should understand why I want you to destroy this building, right? "
Elwyn nodded. It was necessary to destroy the ruins of the sun. He did not want more than two hundred ancient Egyptian gods to suddenly appear, especially when many of them were related to the evil gods. The difference in strength was already very great. If such a group of ancient evil gods with unimaginable power appeared, then things would be completely out of control …
