"These mummies should be the remains of saints, but all the power on them has dissipated." After reading the words engraved on the signs under several mummies, Nora figured out what these things were about.
"Perhaps because this place is far away from the River Styx, all the power inside these mummies has disappeared, but these bodies can still remain and remain intact to this day."
"That is to say, the power that led us here before did not come from the remains of these saints." Lawrence muttered, looking at the golden light emitting from the top of the mountain above his head.
"Yes, these mummies now are no different from the wood carvings around them. If you insist on saying it, this thing only has some historical value." At this point, the little doll shrugged.
"As for the power that has been guiding us before, I think it should be entrenched on the top of the mountain. In other words, as long as we reach the top of the mountain, everything will be clear."
When they climbed more than 1/3, some entities similar to ghosts or broken mummies finally appeared on both sides of the road, blocking the way for the two of them.
However, the level of these guys was so bad, and they obviously had some very fresh wounds on their bodies. Even Nora didn't have to take action and all these monsters were cleared away by Lawrence.
Finally, after killing nearly a hundred monsters whose extraordinary level was no higher than Silver, Lawrence and the others finally climbed the last step to the platform at the top of the mountain.
What appeared in front of the two people now was a hall composed purely of corpses, exuding a strong aura of death and decay from the inside out.
But unlike the pure death in the River Styx below, this power of death clearly carries a certain aura of evil and chaos, which also made Lawrence and Nora suddenly vigilant.
"It feels like something is wrong." Looking at the mummies stumbling around the skeleton hall, the little doll suddenly frowned.
"It's indeed wrong." Lawrence also showed a serious expression. "The god we are looking for should at least be a good god, so even if only the corpse is left, he will not mutate into this ghostly state."
There are naturally huge differences between gods and ordinary creatures. For example, after the gods die, everything they leave behind will have a certain degree of activity.
For example, this is the case with the great god Pangu in the legend of Lawrence's previous life. Even if he died directly after the creation of the world, his legacy could even turn into a world.
And this situation is not just a legend in today's world. At least according to the information Lawrence found before, there are indeed certain astral planes that were transformed from everything left after the death of a powerful being.
However, under normal circumstances, what happens after a fallen god disappears is often related to the priesthood that the god held before his death and the tendencies of his existence.
Therefore, according to this theory, Amun-Ra, the god who controls the sun, life and creation, should not form such a dead area even after his death.
"I think there must be something wrong with the information we collected before, but to be honest, this type of word-of-mouth information is too easy to cause problems in the dissemination of information when it is circulated."
Nora spoke to Lawrence in a low voice while grabbing Lawrence's left arm and using him as an intermediary to cast spells to detect the surrounding situation.
"And for us, the biggest problem is that we don't know whether this kind of circulating information was actively inquired by the Jackals, or whether it was some smoke bombs deliberately released by that group of people in the hope of changing some of the pursuers' minds."
"Mortal, come in with your pet, and I will grant you unprecedented glory and power." Just as Nora and Lawrence started to investigate the situation in front of them, a thick voice came from the palace.
"Good news, the power of the Styx should have limited the power radiation range of the being in the palace." Nora happily said to Lawrence through soul contact, "So the other party should not have recognized my true identity. This is a matter of fact.
Good thing."
"Then shall we go in directly now?" Lawrence asked Nora. "I feel like this palace is in another world. If we go in, it may be detrimental to us."
"You are right, but the problem is that if what we are looking for really exists, it should be in this palace." Nora shrugged, "So there is only one way left for us."
After realizing that they had no choice, Lawrence and Nora walked into the palace together. As soon as they entered the palace gate, Lawrence and the others clearly felt as if they were trapped in a desert.
When the golden mummy sitting on the Skeleton Throne saw Lawrence and Nora entering, he quickly condensed a pocket tornado made of golden dust in his hands, and then threw it at Lawrence and the others who had just entered.
The flying speed of this golden tornado is not very fast. Even ordinary people can get out of the way. But when Lawrence and Nora were about to get out of the way, they felt that the whole palace seemed to come alive and wrapped around them, making them unable to move.
."
Soul attack?" After seeing through the core power of this attack, Nora suddenly broke through the constraints on herself, and then directly stretched out her hand to help Lawrence block the tornado.
"Mortal, your little pet is indeed beyond my expectations." After seeing Nora easily catching the golden tornado, the golden mummy showed a slightly surprised look on her face.
Then with a gesture, it catalyzed the power of the entire palace, turning the purple-black magic power into chains made of bones to bind the little doll.
"But this is just a small mistake, because I underestimated those non-flesh and blood beings, and my next attack -" After seeing the chains floating in the air on Nora's body, the mummy started to talk endlessly.
"It seems that there really is such a nonsense enemy in reality!" Seeing the monster in front of him start to make some declarations, Lawrence looked surprised and said loudly to Nora who was pretending to be restrained.
.
"I think this is normal, because when the ancient Nile people made mummies, they needed to remove the perishable brains from the skull cavity first." Nora also said in a teasing tone.
"In other words, the guy sitting at the top right now has an empty mind, so it's understandable that he does some stupid things."
"You are really irritating me." Seeing that Lawrence and Nora not only did not show any expressions of fear, fear or despair, but instead started laughing and joking, the golden mummy showed an angry look.
Although the head wrapped in bandages showed no expression, the green flames emerging from the gaps in the bandages made everyone present feel the anger inside the mummy.
Then, the mummy, whose whole body was covered in green flames, walked directly down from the throne. Then he walked towards the little puppet tied in the air.
At the same time, clouds of strange green sand and dust leaked out from the gaps in his bandages, slowly forming a chain of sand trailing behind him.
"You are not the ancient sun god." After this period of close contact, Nora quickly sensed the specific power of the mummy in front of her, and then analyzed some things.
"If I guess correctly, you should be Set, the evil god and desert god of the ancient Nile civilization, but you are just wearing a shell with the power of sunlight."
"Is it just a layer of power outside?" After listening to Nora's words, the mummy became even more angry. "I am obviously the new Sun God!"
