Chapter 580 Entering the Underworld for the First Time
Since the underworld is the shared territory of many gods related to death, even though Osiris is dead, there are still other gods present. At this critical juncture, some gods may be watching the situation here.
Therefore, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to the gods, Li Wei and the others kept a low profile and did not use flying or other magic, but moved forward on foot.
Despite this, based on their strength, their movement speed was still very fast. In addition, they had a very clear goal and the teleportation point was very close to Osiris' territory, so it actually didn't take much time.
But they weren't the fastest yet. When they arrived, the pyramid in the distance was already in flames of war.
On the periphery of the pyramid, many structures with the characteristics of beetles, as well as King Kong battle beetles, etc., are fighting with an army of mummies numbering more than 50,000, including many special beings with human falcon heads or giant bears.
Seeing this, Li Wei also roughly understood the identities of the two warring parties.
The divine servants or divine attendants who serve Osiris can often take the form of a falcon or a bear. There are at least hundreds of divine attendants of Osiris, none of whom are lower than level 6.
Those beetle constructs obviously have little to do with the Scarab God, and are more likely to be a Tomb King from the overworld.
Li Wei turned her head and glanced at Hathor. When she saw the other party nodded, indicating that her contact person should still be alive, Li Wei felt a little relieved.
He immediately activated a certain magic item for emergency communication that the Beetle Prince had given him before.
So with the sound of carapace colliding, a small piece of black cloud floated out from the pyramid, and finally gathered into a rough human shape. If it wasn't the Beetle Prince, who else could it be?
Although Levi is still unable to determine the relationship between the Beetle Prince and Osiris, it is obvious that after Osiris was killed by Seth, the Beetle Prince noticed this immediately.
He also had the same idea as Levi, that is, to benefit from it, and he really took practical action for it immediately.
It's just that he obviously underestimated the resistance of the defenders. With so many troops on the outside, there must be more inside the pyramid. Even if Osiris is dead, his divine army will not be completely disintegrated so quickly.
After seeing Li Wei, the Beetle Prince was also very surprised: "Li Wei, I didn't expect it to be you. It seems that you really got a lot of things from the nine volumes of Nagash."
"Apophis, time is limited. In order to avoid long nights and endless dreams, how about we join forces?"
Osiris has been the god of the dead for more than a thousand years, how could he only have so many tens of thousands of troops?
More armies were scattered in the underworld controlled by Osiris.
The underworld is not safe either. Ordinary zombies or skeletons are enough. How many of the slightly more advanced undead with independent intelligence are willing to be bound to this desolate world with few resources forever?
At the same time, otherworldly evils such as demons and demons are also likely to invade the underworld to plunder the souls of mortals.
For them, going to the main world is the most difficult, but going to the underworld is relatively easy.
Therefore, every god related to death will deploy a large number of troops in the underworld under his jurisdiction.
They usually shoulder very important tasks, but after realizing that their god has passed away, they may be able to endure it at first, but if there is still no response after several contacts, what they are most likely to do is, of course,
Back to the pyramid to confirm the truth.
But the Beetle Prince didn't appreciate it. He waved a large group of beetles and swallowed up the three giant bear mummies before responding to Levi:
"Why? I am the illegitimate son of Osiris. After his death, I am the most qualified person to inherit his inheritance!"
Although the Beetle Prince revealed another secret, this was originally one of the answers that Levi had speculated on, so he was not moved by it and just waved his right hand:
"Please allow me to formally introduce to you the two goddesses, the scorpion goddess Serekite and the moon goddess Hathor."
Although the two goddesses were somewhat surprised, compared to the fact that Osiris cuckolded his brother and gave birth to the son of God, the identity of the Beetle Prince was nothing, so they just looked at each other with serious faces.
And showed a little bit of his divine power.
Only then did the Beetle Prince realize the true identities of the two women in front of him. Based on the huge gap in strength between them, he had only thought that the other was mysterious, but he never thought that the other would be a real god.
Because both of them are slightly behind Li Wei, this is an attitude in itself.
But now seeing this look, he immediately realized that these two goddesses might have had different intentions for a long time, otherwise they would not have reacted so quickly.
But he was really unwilling to give away the trophies he was about to get so easily, so he just gritted his teeth and said:
"So what if I am a goddess? I am the divine son of Osiris, and I am destined to inherit his divine throne. Being an enemy of me will completely offend the entire Egyptian pantheon!"
Looking at the beetle prince who still refused to give up, Levi couldn't help but sigh: "Apophis, it seems you still don't understand the whole story. Osiris and Nephthys gave birth to the real son of god - Anubi.
Si, this is why Seth killed him."
"Now that Nephthys and Anubis are missing, what do you think Set will do if he knows your true identity?"
In fact, with one's own strength, it is not difficult to defeat or even kill the Beetle Prince. However, considering the identity of the opponent, it might be useful in the future, so Li Wei did not come up and just shouted to kill him.
.
And the other god Levi is not sure yet, but Tefnut, who once had a relationship with him, may also know the identity of the Beetle Prince.
After all, in addition to the ancient gods, she is also the grandmother of Osiris.
"Wha, what?"
The Beetle Prince was really confused this time. He was essentially just a shady illegitimate son who never had the chance to go to the kingdom of the gods. He only knew that Osiris was dead and knew nothing else.
After a brief silence, he looked at the two goddesses again. No matter how unwilling he was, Prince Beetle could only choose to compromise: "Okay, let's join forces!"
As for how to divide the spoils, he didn't say anything at all, because at this point, facing two real goddesses, he had no negotiating capital at all.
But Li Wei couldn't help but say that he proposed to distribute the spoils according to the credit of everyone's subsequent actions. If it is knowledge that can be copied, then everyone should share it.
No matter how much unwillingness and resentment he still had in his heart, the Beetle Prince could only agree.
Because he is also in a hurry now. If he delays a little bit of time and allows Seth to find this place, then it is not a question of how much he will gain. He may even lose his life.
Without Osiris as a backstage, facing the more powerful Seth, he, the beetle prince, would not be able to play any trick of immortality!
With the addition of the Beetle Prince, the next thing will be relatively simple.
The troops he brought were responsible for holding back the guards on the outside, while Li Wei and others drove straight in and broke into the interior of the pyramid.
Here, the same battle was taking place, with more divine attendants blocking the core area of the pyramid.
However, facing the cooperation of the two goddesses, they certainly could not resist. After killing hundreds of divine attendants in one go, several more divine attendants came to rescue them within a few steps.
But this time it was not the enemy who came, but the guys who had been in contact with Hathor before.
Seeing this, the Beetle Prince couldn't help but sigh again, and he gave up completely.
The other party is so well prepared, and there are two goddesses accompanying him, so what can you compare yourself to?
However, Li Wei took a few more glances, because there were both men and women among these divine servants, but the eyes they looked at Hathor were exactly the same with admiration, admiration, and a hint of admiration.
Hathor's charm seems to be for men and women alike.
However, there is a very obvious difference between Hathor's love and Bastet's love. The wanton cat god is more inclined to satisfy his own desires, while Hathor is more inclined to a kind of motherly love.
This is understandable, after all, her priesthood was originally related to her mother, which is probably one of the reasons why she is called a "people-friendly person".
Unfortunately, these divine attendants are not omnipotent. When they passed through the long and winding passage and came to a palace, several divine attendants stopped and signaled that the front was the real core area of Osiris in the underworld. As the divine attendants
There was nothing they could do.
No matter how noble their status is in the outside world, to Osiris, they are just humble servants.
But they did provide some information. In addition to the Scales of Judgment of Osiris, there were also countless powerful undead creatures sealed in the walls on both sides of the temple.
When Osiris was still alive, they were just decorations, but after Osiris fell, they became the most dangerous sentinels.
The beings that can be used as decorations by a medium-level divine power are, at worst, level 7 beings, and among them there are hundreds of legendary beings.
As for bone dragons and the like, they are not qualified to join them at all.
After hearing this, Prince Beetle was a little bit ready to act. He felt that his chance to show off had come, otherwise when the two goddesses took action, there would be nothing wrong with him at all.
If he has no value, how much loot can Levi give him later?
Although the divine servants say that the other party is very powerful, how much power does the other party still have after being sealed for so many years?
Moreover, as a beetle prince, he can transform into millions of people at any time. He is born with an extremely powerful ability to deal with magic such as the finger of death of the high-level undead. He is quite sure of saving his own life.
So after saying hello to Li Wei, before Li Wei could make any response, he turned into a swarm of scarabs and slipped in through the gap in the door.
It is originally a good thing for someone to take the initiative to be cannon fodder, but if you take too much initiative, it will inevitably make people think too much.
Especially apart from some noisy roars at the beginning, a few seconds later, the temple was silent, which made Levi think about it no more.
Li Wei decisively signaled Elegy and others to open the door.
So after a series of "ding-dong" noises, they forced open the temple door, only to find that there was no fighting inside.
Hundreds of strange-looking undead, like stars holding the moon, surrounded the beetle prince holding a scale in the center.
Well, in fact, the title Beetle Prince may not be suitable for him anymore, because the balance is constantly emitting dark golden light, shining on the body of the Beetle Prince.
Wherever the light passed, the densely packed scarabs began to be slowly but surely transformed into pure energy, which was then used to reshape the body of the Scarab Prince.
If this continues, I am afraid that within a few minutes, the Beetle Prince will transform into a completely new form. He may be able to realize his thousands of years of dream and regain his human form.
Just looking at the scales blooming with light in the hands of the Beetle Prince, and looking at the undead that were slowly turning into sculptures again, Levi felt that something was wrong.
Even if the Beetle Prince is the illegitimate son of Osiris, is it too easy?
He is just a legend, but with his bloodline alone, can he tame the balance, which is at least a semi-artifact, and many powerful undead?
There were quite a few of them that made me feel threatened, but the strength of the Beetle Prince was not necessarily stronger than my own.
Perhaps, this is some kind of back-up plan for Osiris, the god of the dead, to be resurrected in the body of his son?
Levi quickly looked at the few divine servants who had taken refuge in Hathor, and then he found that they had already knelt on the ground, kowtowing to the Beetle Prince while counting their sins.
Even after noticing Li Wei's sight, one of the divine attendants suddenly showed a fierce look in his eyes, swung the sickle blade in his hand and killed him. After hearing the movement, the other divine attendants immediately chose to follow.
Even though Hathor warned and scolded him immediately, it was still to no avail.
Obviously, they don't have the guts to retaliate against Hathor yet, but they have the guts to attack Levi, perhaps thinking of using his life to atone for their sins?
At this moment, the fear in their hearts and the desire to atone for their sins had already surpassed their love for Hathor.
This further confirms Levi's guess. If Osiris has a back-up plan for resurrection, will Seth, who possesses a series of clerical powers such as evil, betrayal and murder, be prepared for this?
The answer is of course yes!
So he immediately ordered Elegy, Penthesilea and others to evacuate this place immediately, and then looked at Hathor and Serekite.
Even if he didn't say anything, the two goddesses could certainly understand what he meant, so they all took action.
Several shock waves purely condensed by divine power flashed through. Even if one of the divine attendants was a legendary level, he was still defenseless against the goddess's attack and was killed on the spot.
Hathor, who is slightly weaker, is the one who strikes faster and heavier.
She had sworn to Li Wei that these divine servants were absolutely reliable, but within a few minutes, she messed up. This made it really difficult for her to face Li Wei, and she had to use practical actions to express her position.
But now she didn't say anything. Instead, she joined forces with Serekite to create a black silk scarf-like magical ribbon to eliminate all these residues and their divine power fluctuations.
Then, together with Li Wei and others, they disappeared out of thin air.
The Beetle Prince saw all this, but he didn't care because he felt a steady stream of power and the submission of many undead creatures and divine servants.
Even silently, the two sides who were fighting outside had stopped their movements, because from now on, they would be loyal to the same existence.
Further away, dozens of mummy legions also expressed their surrender.
The Beetle Prince had hated his origin countless times and hated Osiris's cruelty, but now he suddenly felt that this bloodline was of some use, and the hardships he had experienced were all worth it, because he was about to become an Egyptian god.
A new generation of Death!
As for the escape of Levi and even the two goddesses, although it was a bit unexpected, it can be considered decisive on their part. Otherwise, after they have mastered all the power left by Osiris, they may have a taste of its power first.
The birth of a new god also requires sacrifices!
As for now, I can only find other goals. For example, how about the Immortal Emperor?
Just when the Beetle Prince began to dream about a better future, and even imagined what kind of goddess he should find as his wife, he heard a loud noise, and a big hole suddenly opened in the temple.
Then a giant black python hundreds of meters long fell from the sky, and before the Beetle Prince could make any reaction, he was swallowed in one gulp.
Then there was a frightening chewing sound, and the Beetle Prince yelled a few times in panic at first, but within one or two breaths, he completely stopped moving.
Even though he has inherited many powers from Osiris, he can barely be called a demigod now, and the gap between him and his opponents is really too big.
But the movements of the jet-black giant python did not stop there. Many divine servants and powerful undead people who came around after hearing the news were all quickly swallowed by it one after another.
First he burped, then shook his head and tail, smashing the temple of Osiris into pieces and killing the guards of the temple to pieces. Then the black python disappeared in a ray of light, leaving only a proud smile.
The sound echoed endlessly.
After a few more minutes, Levi, Serekite, Hathor, etc. reappeared.
Looking at the ruins around them and feeling the remaining fluctuations of divine power, they could easily restore what had just happened.
Serekite said very seriously: "Levi, it is indeed the fluctuation of his divine power. It seems that the snake of darkness - Apep should be some kind of incarnation of him."
Hathor's face looked even more embarrassed. This was supposed to be an opportunity for her to show off her abilities, but now it was a mess from beginning to end.
If Li Wei hadn't reacted in time just now, she and Serekite's incarnation, as well as Li Wei and others, would all have died here.
Seth even killed Osiris. At this special moment, how could he care about himself?
So she felt a little guilty and said: "Levi, I'm very sorry, I messed up."
Li Wei smiled gently: "It's not your fault. He holds the priesthood of murder and evil. His level of divinity is so high. He doesn't know how long he has been planning for this. Of course he will consider it very comprehensively."
Seeing what Hathor wanted to say, Levi waved his hand: "Okay, now that we are partners fighting side by side, don't worry about this matter anymore. This is also my responsibility. I didn't think it through in advance.
.”
Now that the incident has happened and it has not caused any serious consequences, rather than pursuing who is responsible, Li Wei believes that we should seize the time and do something truly useful.
Serekite also laughed. She patted Hathor's shoulder, comforting her who was still a little worried:
"Looking on the bright side, at least this time we are all safe and sound, and he has achieved his wish and eliminated the last threat, so he probably won't notice this place for the time being, and our next actions will be much safer.
.”
She is not stupid either. By now, everyone can see that Seth has known about the existence of Prince Beetle for a long time and used this place as a trap.
But now the life or death of the Beetle Prince is unknown, and the place is being ravaged by the snake of darkness. Seth has obviously given up on this place completely.
Levi also smiled and nodded: "Yes, Serekite is right. Now let's see if there is anything valuable here."
Hathor nodded vigorously, and at the same time he secretly made up his mind that such a fatal mistake would be enough once!
After making the decision, the first thing Levi had to do was naturally to receive the many constructs from the Beetle Prince.
The giant snake that Seth had transformed into before seemed to spit out some poisonous sand, which completely killed all the divine attendants and mummies present.
But there are still some remains of the non-living constructs themselves, and after the Beetle Prince was devoured, they seemed to have lost power, maintaining various postures and staying still. It seemed that
It also explains the fate of the Beetle Prince.
Although Levi has looked down upon most of them for their combat effectiveness, there are several special models among them, as well as the King Kong War Beetles among them, which are still very valuable.
Recently, Levi has almost completely mastered the manufacturing methods of many constructs recorded in the Death Ceremony, and his abilities in related aspects have been greatly improved. If he can obtain more Vajra War Beetles as experimental subjects, maybe he will also have the ability to do so.
It's possible to work backwards to figure out how they're made.
Then there were some sealed undead, and Seth killed most of them, as well as all the legendary ones among them, but there were still a dozen corpse dragons, ghost dragons, and the like that survived.
Li Wei himself has no use for the time being, but when he becomes the God of Death, even if it is just used for appearance, it will be good.
Elegy and others began to check whether there were survivors and avoid any possible danger.
The two goddesses used their divine powers to search for other relics of Osiris.
Everyone moved quickly because they knew Seth was not the only threat they needed to face.
Even if we don't mention the divine army that Osiris left in the underworld, Seth's movement just now was quite significant, and it might have attracted the attention of the surrounding gods, so they must hurry up.
Under this pressure, they all performed exceedingly well, and soon they really gained something. They discovered a small study room of Osiris in the collapsed side hall.
Perhaps it was precisely because it had been there so clearly that Seth didn't pay any attention to it.
But after careful inspection, Hathor discovered that in addition to some poems about the ancient gods and some crystallizations of divine power, there were also things similar to essays, recording some of Osiris's insights on death and nature.
This was normal. Levi would only be happy that he had gained knowledge about another god of death. This was also the most important reason for him to take the risk.
But after casually flipping through it, Levi discovered that something was wrong, because there were even some confusions and doubts about his priesthood from Osiris.
He possesses both death and nature priesthoods, but the former requires more deaths to strengthen the priesthood, while the latter symbolizes growth. There is a strong conflict between them.
In addition, many farmers in the main world also have similar worries, fearing that when they pray for crops to grow, Osiris will misunderstand them as praying for death. As time goes by, even Osiris begins to doubt himself.
Seeing this, Li Wei was a little speechless. People are born, old, sick and die, and plants wither and decline. This is a very normal thing.
The withered flowers and plants will also turn into spring mud to support the new generation of plants and trees. This is a cycle.
As a god, Osiris can't even see through this?
Well, maybe it's not that he is really that stupid, but that other beings misled him.
Because the rumor that he was confused about the content of his followers' prayers was first spread by Seth on his own initiative.
Now it seems that Seth's strategy is undoubtedly very successful. Osiris has questioned his own priesthood. What good ending can there be?
In addition, in the territory of the Tomb Kings, the number of living people was far less than the number of mummies. Set, who had the desert priesthood, had to adapt more to the current territory, so he finally succeeded in murdering Osiris.
Seth's success does not depend on luck, but on careful planning and strong strength.
And he is also very good at forbearing. If Osiris hadn't gone too far this time and directly cheated Seth and gave birth to a child, I'm afraid Seth would have continued to wait for a more suitable time.
Now that this situation has arisen, even if he becomes the God King, he will only be a polished commander for the time being. This is definitely not the outcome Set wants most.
After a moment of emotion, Li Wei decisively took all this knowledge into his pocket, and then distributed the crystallization of divine power to the two goddesses.
To the gods, they are similar to recovery potions. Although Li Wei can use them after becoming a god, he can't let the two goddesses go in vain, right? These crystallizations of divine power are more or less a piece of his heart.
After spending a few minutes rummaging through the ruins to make sure there was really nothing useful, the two goddesses began to eliminate the traces left by everyone.
Even if no other people or gods arrive for the time being, they will definitely come in the future as time goes by. Li Wei doesn't want everyone to know that he has been here. Keeping a low profile is the way to get rich.
After taking care of this, Li Wei and the others evacuated the temple, but did not leave the underworld. Instead, they found a secret place and lurked quietly.
The knowledge of Osiris is Levi's first goal, but there may still be other more valuable things later!
