Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

Chapter 370: Chapter 98 Hebrew_2

"Even the world itself must submit to my power!"

Rising from his throne, supreme power surged around him. Ra's golden eyes emitted a glow, bringing everything in the world into his view.

Mortals kneeling on the ground, gods celebrating a marriage, plants and animals, and even the serpent, slowly reborn amidst the tumbling chaos on the flip side of the world.

Everything was under his control; there were no exceptions. Having defeated the previous sun, he naturally wouldn't give successors a chance, and now, in this world, there was no existence that could stand against him; he was the sole master of all worlds.

"Hmm?"

His gaze swept across the land, and Ra was quite pleased with the human realm that belonged to him. Even though his power had reached such heights, this world seemed a bit too small for him, but that was a regrettable limitation.

However, at that moment during his inspection, Ra's gaze suddenly paused.

In Heliopolis, he saw the celebrating gods; he saw their jubilation at the forthcoming wedding feast. This was a matter Ra himself had arranged, so it didn't surprise him. What made Ra pause were 'Isis'.

The daughter of sky and earth gods, one of the few powerful deities in this world. Even though her appearance seemed to have changed, that wasn't what caught Ra's attention. What truly drew him was another life force within her.

She was with child, and although Isis's divine power had fooled the other deities present, it couldn't escape Ra's scrutiny. He keenly sensed that the unborn infant possessed something quite unusual.

That was a distinctly different bloodline presence.

"Self-conceived... As the Goddess of Life, that might make sense?"

Narrowing his eyes, Ra didn't think the matter was that simple, but for the moment, he couldn't pinpoint the cause of the issue. As for why he hadn't noticed 'Isis's' irregularity, that was understandable.

Isis had long existed, so she was able to share her fate and power with the princess of a foreign realm. However, Horus, the son that the Goddess of Life should have borne, did not yet exist. Therefore, although the child within Io had successfully usurped a part of Horus's fate, it had inherited none of his power.

Without power, the bloodline presence that didn't fit with the world naturally exposed itself before Ra.

"Dreams... omens... and this newborn?"

His deep voice echoed in the empty hall; Ra's face remained expressionless. He was arrogant, but not foolish, just as he had never really needed the aid of other gods in his battle against the Chaos Serpent Apep.

That serpent was another manifestation of the weakness of the Hemenu world—its order was unstable, chaos had not been suppressed, and unlike the quiet Abyss Tartaros of Chaos, the chaotic forces in this world materialized as the serpent Apep, also known as Apophis.

It lacked intelligence, with its sole instinct being the destruction of the world, and it was immortal and indestructible. No matter how many times it was destroyed, it would always be reborn after a period.

Therefore, to maintain the stability of his dominion over the world, Ra had to delve underground every so often, into the chaotic aspect of the world, to kill and disperse this undying serpent so it couldn't threaten the Mortal Realm. And in all the previous encounters, the reason he allowed those so-called mighty deities to accompany him was also calculated.

Having the gods witness his strength, as well as the might of Apep, would help them understand the indispensability of Ra and the insignificance of the gods; at the same time, he could gauge the strength of the other gods in battle, not giving them a chance to surpass him.

The gods of Hemenu aged, even though Ra had already touched upon a higher boundary. He grasped the essence of the sun's [rebirth] [renewal] and could avoid aging in other ways, but that wasn't a reason for him to be careless. So, whether the newborn had issues or not, he had to ensure it would be a non-issue.

So now, it was time for him to make a choice.

"Kill him, or consume him? No... that's pointless."

"He's still too weak, I can't even see the potential for him to grow strong—two mighty Pillar Gods giving birth to an entity without authority, that is indeed laughable... But perhaps, that's what makes him special?"

Still expressionless, Ra did not wish to resort to such a simplistic manner of eradicating this menace, because although Hemenu's gods could devour each other, there was also a trait: devouring a weaker being would only diminish one's own power. It was better to maintain one or two of the most powerful godhoods rather than assimilate all into one.

Therefore, in the current world, there were virtually no deities left worth Ra's consumption because, in this world, apart from the Primordial Water symbolizing the Origin of All Things, the sun was the supreme and only.

Moreover, Ra highly doubted that if this unborn child truly symbolized a threat, consuming him might not avert the disaster. He needed another solution, one more appropriate. Your next journey awaits at m v|l-e'-NovelBin.net

"Perhaps I can consider the issue from another perspective, he can die... but this threat, it still needs a 'successor'."

"I need a visible 'threat,' not one that's hidden. And his uniqueness... it comes from his bloodline."
