At this point, cries of fear and pain echo throughout Egypt.
We moved with unidentified unmanned weapons commanded by Menes.
“Wow… That’s so cool!”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
Whether or not Miro was a stickler, these robots were definitely cool.
One robot resembled a giant pharaoh statue sitting on a chair, while another resembled a giant bird.
In addition, there were things that resembled a leopard and giant swords floating in the air.
Although they came in various forms, they all had one thing in common: they radiated golden light in all directions.
The teacher muttered as he looked at the robots with interest.
“It’s not a form that only pursues efficiency.”
The teacher’s words are easy to understand.
Even though I know nothing about robotics, it was strange even when I looked at it that way.
In the first place, there’s no need for a combat robot to resemble a pharaoh or an animal sitting on a chair, right?
The same goes for a flying sword.
Wouldn’t it be easier to fly if it had a shape that resembled an airplane more?
If you think about it, emitting a golden light is also a waste of light and energy.
but!
“But isn’t it cool?”
“Yes, and that’s the goal.”
A golden statue of the Pharaoh comes to life and wards off demons.
What would the ancient Egyptians have thought when they saw such an outrageous sight?
He must have knelt down on the spot and pledged his allegiance to Menes.
Menes didn’t need any supernatural powers to create charisma.
“I think we’ve almost reached our destination.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Until we arrived, Menes and I did not exchange a single word, but simply explored each other endlessly.
Perhaps because he had awakened from the sarcophagus after hundreds of years, Menes’ physical condition was still not normal.
Because he had difficulty walking, he received help from his descendant, Aidia.
Additionally, Menes occasionally manipulated a device that resembled a remote control.
Every time, unmanned weapons that had been sleeping here and there in Egypt gradually joined in.
We finally arrived at a vast plain amidst the gradually rising tension.
At that moment, the teacher stretched out his hand, pointed into the air, and spoke to Menes.
“What is that?”
Menes also answered obediently.
“It’s the Skull Tower.”
“…”
“The beautiful city of Memphis is in trouble, but it’s just a ploy to cover up that skull tower.”
“Can I destroy it?”
“Aha! Are you asking if destroying that tower will stop Malkab?”
“…”
“I’m sorry, but you’re wrong. That tower has already served its purpose. Malkav will soon appear in this realm.”
“I guess we’re going to have a tough fight.”
“Right. So, shouldn’t you be preparing now?”
“We are always prepared. So -”
“No, no.”
Menes’ firm denial surprised not only the teacher but also me.
Are we ready to do something special?
It’s not that the teacher lied, there really isn’t anything.
“Haha, you bastard. Are you trying to escape like a snake? Shouldn’t God stop you with God!”
“What is that -”
God is blocking with God?
Surely Menes is now –
“Of course, I believe that the great Horus will save Egypt. However, I am old and old men are naturally suspicious.”
“No, that’s, that’s… .”
“I am very uneasy. I feel that you are trying to induce my and Malkab’s mutual destruction.”
— Mate!
As Menes lightly clapped his hands, the nearby robots began to surround us!
Hey, what should I do with this?
If the opponent is a robot, Songi’s bracelet or Yumi’s magic are useless!
What would happen if Miro used the time zone well?
Or if the teacher shoots a flash and shoots Menes!
No, that’s a stupid idea!
If we kill Menes here, Malkab will be stopped by us?
How to resolve this situation –
“good.”
A clear and refreshing voice rang out, and the tension was instantly relieved.
“If you want to see our, um, Horus so badly, I’ll let you meet him.”
The teacher and Songi looked at Miro’s sudden actions without any prior notice and made expressions like, “Is this right?”, but they did not stop Miro.
Rather, Aidy just opened her eyes wide and looked confused.
“Mi, Mi-ro! What does this mean? You, you are so-”
What is that princess thinking now?
A friend I’ve been close with since childhood turns out to be a saint from an unidentified religious group?
— Clang!
The hands on the pocket watch point to noon.
‘Horus’ appeared.
*
The first words of Cain, who appeared on the desert plains, were as follows.
“Oh, so you were able to use the inheritance?”
Even though he was Ga-in, it seems he wasn’t sure whether the hotel would seal a blessing or a legacy during the first trial.
Immediately afterwards, a light flashed from Songi’s wrist.
He must be conveying the situation to Ga-in hyung through welcome.
From the outside, it looked like a mystical sight of ‘Horus’ appearing out of thin air, looking into the sky and reading fate.
and.
— Hwarurur!
A tiny sun appeared in the sky.
Cain stood with his back to the sacred sun and looked at Menes.
It’s a bluff.
Now, the sacred sun has no power left, and the power of the grimoire is nothing compared to the soulless robot.
However, this is a possible thought since we know Gain hyung inside and out.
What about Menes’ point of view?
An unidentified being appears out of thin air and walks with its back to the blazing sun.
Even the intense charisma radiating from the sun suppresses Menes’ spirit!
Menes couldn’t even breathe deeply.
“You… . What the heck! The sun, the sky, these are your symbols?”
The sun and the sky, perfection and wisdom, abundance, vengeance and protection – Egyptian mythology itself governs all of these.
At this moment, the being approaching Menes was not a human, but the mythical Horus himself.
“… ah.”
A sigh is heard from behind.
Miro muttered absentmindedly, as if he had realized something.
“no way…!”
“What? Why?”
“They’re so similar!”
“uh?”
“The symbol is the sun, the transcendental appearance resembles a bird. It can take many forms!”
“what -”
“It’s the same…! The power of Horus in mythology is the same as Cain and -”
— Bam!
The teacher’s strong hand touched Miro’s shoulder.
“Let’s be quiet. There are many ears listening. Of course, Menes can’t pay attention to us right now.”
“I, I! I think I know the gist of this ordeal! So -”
“Let’s talk later, later. After we take down Malkab.”
You want to know the true nature of the ordeal?
It seems like even the teacher and Miro have realized something after seeing the current situation!
Am I the only one being stupid?
I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Fortunately or unfortunately, when Menes’ voice was heard, everyone’s attention turned to him.
“Horus! With this much majesty, you can definitely restrain Malkab! To you -”
“Menes, have you ever heard of such a thing?”
“Are you going to teach me?”
“Heaven helps those who help themselves.”
“…”
“I will intervene, but, great Menes, was it not you who founded this country?”
To put it simply, it is a country founded by Menes, so you, Menes, are to protect it.
The logic was sound, but he refused Menes’ request for direct help.
Just now, Menes surrounded us with robots and even threatened us.
I never showed that kind of attitude towards Gain hyung.
“…I have one question.”
“Try it.”
“That child, I heard from Aidia that you have the power to read the future.”
“…”
“Can you see my future now?”
It seems impossible now that the blessing has been sealed.
Can a colleague summoned here by any chance ignore the hotel’s blessing seal?
I don’t think so.
Bypassing the hotel seal by using this time zone seems like too much of a trick.
I don’t think the hotel would allow something like this… .
“curious?”
Gain Hyung smiled brightly and met Menes’ gaze.
I was confused myself whether he was really reading Menes’ fate or simply ‘imitating God’.
How burdensome would it be to be under the gaze of a being who surrounds himself with the divine sun like a halo?
Even Menes seemed like he would not be able to endure it and would turn his head away.
…
No it wasn’t.
The one who united Egypt, the great pharaoh, the master of knowledge that transcended the ages – Menes literally clenched his teeth and held on!
“Yes, great Horus! Have you read my future now? Have you seen the miserable death of a poor old man?”
“Want to hear?”
“Foreknowledge…! Fate…! To rely on such things is a sign of weakness!”
“…”
“I will decide my fate in my own hands from now on! The answer is right here with me, so why should I ask someone else for it?”
At this moment, everyone’s mouths, including mine, dropped open.
I have confirmed many times how powerful the charisma created by the sacred sun is!
Even before you build up your soul, the average person in room 206 would fall to the ground and pray, right?
I was genuinely amazed that he could display that level of authority while under that much pressure.
Menes deserved to be heard as the great Egyptian, the progenitor of mankind’s ancient civilization.
It seems that Ga-in hyung felt the same way, as his unique ‘god cosplay’ momentarily broke and a human expression was revealed.
It seemed like he was amazed by the being in front of him, but also felt a bit of a sense of crisis.
“… Yes, Pharaoh. I respect your answer. Write your own future.”
Immediately afterwards, Gain looked back at the maze and nodded.
Once again the hands of the pocket watch turned and Horus disappeared.
*
The plain where Horus disappeared.
The conversation with Cain must have been quite a burden to Menes, as he leaned against Aidia and panted for a long time.
If possible, I hoped the fight would start after Menes had regained his energy.
Of course, Malkab had no reason to care about us.
— Gooooo!
The evil spirit’s evil roar that shakes heaven and earth resonates.
For a moment, there was an optical illusion that the dark sky seemed to brighten.
Because countless white bones began to fly in from all directions!
I heard Malkab’s voice.
Yes, Menes.
It looks like negotiations with the new god didn’t go well?
The old man, who had returned to his dignified demeanor as if he had never been staggering, shouted.
“Malkab! So, the sun god seemed quite threatening to you too? You showed up right after he left!”
It’s even a threat.
I just thought it would be wise to reduce unnecessary conflicts.
“Didn’t you negotiate with me a long time ago? We agreed not to cross the line!”
Line? I think there’s a misunderstanding. I didn’t cross the line.
How could it be my fault that your descendants longed for eternal life?
“Ha! That’s not even funny! Alright, let’s decide who will be the owner of this land today.”
Yeah, that’s right.
To borrow the expression of that show-off bird, let’s decide our own destiny.
— Gulp!
Lightning struck the clear sky.
This was the signal for the outbreak of war.
