Chapter 1835: Old Grudges

?

And behind Horus there is legions of Army of Ra and Army of Horus and others gods and deities all riding a chariot or their familiar or floating ships, following the lead of Ra

Like a procession.

And it alarms not only the Duat but also Sekhet Hetepet.

What do Sekhet Hetepet looks like?

The region itself is beautiful and idyllic.

There is lush greenery, there is beautiful fields, clear waters, hills and mountains each one is beautiful and invoke the feeling of peace when one reaches this place.

This is also a place governed by Osiris.

It is not always like this but when Osiris become the Lord of the Underworld, he not only take control of the Duat, he also take control of Sekhet Hetepet.

But here, he mostly act as more of an overseer than a direct ruler.

There is Hathor and Ma'at here.

Hathor the wife of Horus, the goodness of life, joy and music among others. And Ma'at, the goddess of truth, justice and harmony among other things.

Just like the deities in the Duat, they also look at the skies.

And they frowned

There is no Great Darkness coming from the Chaos, so why does Ra brings out His family out of the Horizon?

And why so warlike?

The killing intent from everyone seems to be rising and all the divine beings in all the realms of the Eternal Horizon could feel it.

Ra then stops.

He then looks at the realm below him. And he spoke, his words echoing all over the countless realms under the Eternal Horizon.

"Olympus is attacked by Qarthans. The Seven Intergalactic Power is now in a war. There is a chance that this would lead to the disbandment of the Seven Intergalactic Power alliance. I call to all my sons and daughters to journey beyond the Chaos"

"I call to all the dark creatures"

"I call to all the bizarre, the strange and the unusual. I call all of you. Today, we avenge our fallen!"

Ra spoke and his words are Divine Words. And his Word is an order.

And all gods, deities, the dark things, the bizarre, the strange and the unusual would think twice before defying his Will

And then the first one come out.

Osiris flew out from the Duat.

He brings with him the darkness of death and when he passes the realm of the living, the dead arisen from their graves.

Life and death order was overturned and chaos and evil fills the mortal realm of the Eternal Horizon

He flew further and further until he reaches the Sun, reaches the host of the Sun Parade

This time as he flies toward the sky and reaches Ra, there is no restriction around him

Osiris arrive at Ra chariot.

The Sun of Ra should burn him, a creature of the Dead. Yet, the Sun did not burn him and this is because Ra permits him coming here

Osiris looks at Ra. And his eyes burns before he averts his gaze. He kneels

"Oh, Great Ra, Bringer of Light, Lord of Life and Day. I am Osiris, Son of Geb and Nut, Keeper of the Afterlife. I stand before you, as the humble Shepherd of Souls, to seek your wisdom and blessing. May your radiance guide me and may my deeds honour your eternal light."

And below, in the Temple of Osiris, the priest sings the song of Osiris

Oh Osiris, Eternal King,

Lord of the Sacred Land beyond,

We call upon you in awe and reverence,

Great Shepherd of Souls,

Guardian of the Beyond.

You who conquered death, who rose anew,

Who brings the light where shadows dwell,

In your name, the earth is reborn,

And life springs forth where silence fell.

Green Lord of the Divine River gentle flow,

Fertile Spirit of the fruitful fields,

Grant us harvest, grant us peace,

As we honour you with hearts that yield.

Protector of the soul's last path,

Guide us through the western gates,

Where stars like jewels crown your throne,

And everlasting life awaits.

Great Osiris, Son of Earth and Sky,

Judge of hearts in scales divine,

In life, in death, we honour you,

Immortal king, forever shine.

The Song echoes and fills the heaven and earth and every deities of the Eternal Horizon could hear the song and they could not help but sing it.

Osiris heard it and his head still bows

"Raise your head, Osiris, Son of Geb and Nut" Osiris raise his head and look at Ra. And no

longer his eyes burns

He then ask

"Who is our ally and who is our enemy?"

Ra did not hesitate to name their enemy

"Attack Olympus. Aid Qarthans. Today, we resume the battle that has been stopped around

nine thousand years ago"

Osiris nodded and he flew to his son chariot

Horus see his father, smile and let his father held the reins of his chariot. Isis flew from the Earthly Realm and join her family.

Horus wife Hathor ride a gigantic red cow that turns the sky into dark red. Harsomtus, the son of Horus and Hathor flew from his temple and join his mother sitting on the red cow

The gods and goddesses, the deities and the strange and bizarre powerful beings flew toward the skies, all of them following Ra

The Sun Parade with ten thousand divine beings once again rides in the sky.

Today, the light of Ra shall shine in Olympus!

Today, the war that started nine thousand years ago started again!

Those who lived at that time knew what war this was.

It is the War for the All Source.

To some it is a war that started five thousand years ago.

But to Ra, it started nine years ago for him

Because even before the battle for the All Source, their people and Olympus people have always been rival intergalactic civilization and fought against each other

They were patron gods of Egyptians and Olympus was of Greek.

And as mortals fight against each other, the gods also fight against each other during that era

Most of their stories is now treated like myths.

And most of their existence has been erased by themselves so that they would not be tainted

by too much cause and effect.

But there is still some of their traces in the mortal world especially on the Blessed Land that is

Earth

For Ra, the pyramid is one of his signs.

And for Olympus, there is still their temple there on Earth.

Even after the world changes with the power of the All Source, the pyramid is still there and the Temple of Zeus, Juno and Ares and Mars, all of it is still there.

Some melded with the world and some was transformed by the magical power of the All

Source.

The rivalry between them started long ago and the war for the All Source only gave them a reason to start this war.

And as Ra lead his people to Olympus, the pantheon of Olympus all flew out. The Qarthans is attacking with their Battlestar filling the skies of Olympia

And all the gods and goddess of Olympus make their own stand

Qayali is now attacking Olympus and he is fighting with Zeus.

Thunder and lightning fills the skies, the roars of the sky split apart the ground

The two divine beings split the sky and cracked the earth with each blow.

His familiar, the eagle flew up into the sky and turns into a titanic eagle that swallows

Battlestars

Hera on the other hand is in her realm.

But when Olympus was attacked, she did not immediately help Zeus

Instead, she waited.

And then the Qarthans invaded her realm and she too had to get up and fight

Her maidens wore armours and they flew up toward the sky, fighting millions of Qarthan and

the Tamed Erthens.

Hera shouted and she rides a cow the size of a mountain and this cow head collide itself with

one of the Battlestar causing the Battlestar to disintegrate into ashes

Many of the gods fights the Qarthans that suddenly invaded.

And they are winning.

The only powerful one amongst them is Qayali.

And Qayali is not deterred by the death of his men

Because he also master a very powerful method of resurrection. Even more so now that he is

only a similar realm like the Sovereign realm

He is not afraid.

Instead, the more he fights, the stronger he became and the braver he became.

But, it is clear that today, Qarthan attack would not destroy Olympus.

But it would surely damage it.

But before the Olympians could heaved a sigh of relief, there is a sound of drumming that

echoes throughout all heaven and earth

And then a heat like no other sweeps across the entire realm of Olympus.

Then a deity dressed in golden armour, holding a whip jumped into a chariot and some other

deities followed this chariot

And the Oracles begins to sing the Hymns

"And next, sweet voiced Muses, daughters of Zeus, well-skilled in song, tell of the long-winged Moon.

From her immortal head a radiance is shown from heaven and embraces earth; and great is the beauty that ariseth from her shining light.

The air, unlit before, glows with the light of her golden crown, and her rays beam clear, whensoever

bright Selene having bathed her lovely body in the waters of Ocean, and donned her far-gleaming raiment, and yoked her strong-necked, shining team, drives on her long-maned horses at full speed,

at eventime in the mid-month: then her great orbit is full and then her beams shine brightest as she

increases.

So, she is a sure token and a sign to mortal men.

Hail, white-armed goddess, bright Selene, mild, bright-tressed queen!"

There is Selene the Goddess of the Moon.

And then there is another goddess, with rosy fingers and rosy forearm

This Godden is crowned with a diadem and has large white feathered wings of a bid.

Wearing saffron coloured robe woven with divine flowers.

She has delicate and fragile beauty

That brightest of stars appeared, Eosphoros, that most often heralds the light of early-rising

Dawn

And the Oracles sings

Hear, O goddess, you bring the light of day to mortals

resplendent Dawn, you blush throughout the world

messenger of the great, the illustrious Titans
