Pa——
At the instant the [Ushabti] shattered, a faint purple light swept out.
Then, it frantically gathered, flew around the temple a few times, and finally transformed into a massive figure over three meters tall with the head of a crocodile on the high platform.
That's right, she is Amit, the [Devourer] regarded as an evil god by Khonsu and other gods.
Perhaps her name is not well known, but when it comes to her job, she is definitely a household name in [Egypt].
According to legend, in [Egypt], after the followers who believe in the gods die, Anubis, the [God of Death], first places their heart and a feather symbolizing "truth" on opposite ends of a scale.
If the heart is heavier than the feather, it means that the deceased committed many bad deeds during his lifetime.
Then Anubis will throw his heart to Amit to devour.
In this way, the souls of those whose hearts are swallowed can never enter [Heavenly Realm·Heliopolis].
They can only fall into [Underworld·Duat] and never find peace.
Conversely, if the heart is lighter than the feather, then this person can successfully pass through the [Field of Reeds] and enter [Heavenly Realm·Heliopolis] to serve the gods, and the soul will be at peace from then on.
Therefore, in the Egyptian mythology system, Amit has always been regarded by human scholars as the embodiment of truth, fairness, and order.
The truth is just like that, Amit has the power to judge a person's good and evil.
As her believers, they will have a scale with a two-headed crocodile on their arms, which can be used to detect the honesty and evil in other people's hearts.
"Very good, I'm finally released."
Amit looked at the crowd kneeling below and said, "So... who is the one who released me? I want to thank him properly."
"It's me."
Arthur Harrow raised his head with a pious expression and said, "My goddess, I am your most devout believer, so you don't need to thank me at all."
Amit slowly walked to the steps, circled around Arthur Harrow, and said with some doubt, "It's strange, your scale is clearly not balanced, but you can still use that staff to unleash my power."
"Yes."
Arthur Harrow explained without concealment, "I once tried to restore the balance of the scale through repentance, but in order to successfully release my goddess, I have done many things that cannot be forgiven, so it has never been able to restore its balance... but no matter what the result is, I am willing to accept your judgment."
"Very good, you are very devout."
Amit was obviously very pleased with this statement, stretched out her big hand and pressed it on the top of his head, and said meaningfully:
"The imbalance of the scale is only because you have too many undone things."
Arthur Harrow immediately said like a warrior ready to die generously, "I understand, great goddess, in order to prevent the world from suffering the pain I bring, I am willing to accept any disposal from you."
But who would have thought that Amit shook her head, "No, you misunderstood, the undone things I am talking about actually refer to serving me... a dead person cannot serve me, so your death is postponed."
"My former servant, his scale was able to achieve perfect balance, but I was imprisoned for a full two thousand years..."
Before she could finish her words, Arthur Harrow raised his head and looked directly at her, "My goddess, now my believers are all over the world, they are all carefully selected by me, people with perfect balance, they are always ready to serve you."
"That's right, but the one who really released me... is you."
Amit said in an unquestionable tone, "So you are the incarnation I need now, serve me, and your soul will be at peace... don't let the pain of the past become the shackles of your progress."
Immediately, a divine power was directly poured into Arthur Harrow's body.
At the same time.
Leila El-Faouly, who had been following Arthur Harrow all the way with her flying ability, finally found the [Ushabti] belonging to Khonsu in the tomb chamber on the other side of the [Court of the Gods], which was specially used to store seals.
Pa——
After smashing the [Ushabti], along with a cloud of gray smoke rising, Khonsu's huge figure gradually condensed out.
"Huh? What's going on, I can't feel Marc Spector's aura in this world?"
Although Khonsu's head is a bird-like skull, his surprise can still be judged from his voice.
In the first moment of being released, he felt that his agent was gone.
So he slowly lowered his head and looked at Leila El-Faouly, who released him from the seal, and said, "There is no doubt that Marc was killed... and it was the kind that was completely destroyed both in body and spirit."
"Damn it, he died because of you."
Leila El-Faouly suppressed the anger in her heart and said with a face full of grief and indignation, "You must find a way to revive him."
"No, no, no, I'm afraid you haven't really understood what I just said." Khonsu shook his head slightly, "Didn't Taweret tell you that Marc's soul is gone?"
"Even I can't revive him without a soul... but his death is not the end, I now need another avatar to help me stop what is about to happen."
Khonsu aimed his dark eye sockets at Leila El-Faouly, "I feel Taweret's power in you, but that's just a temporary blessing... Leila El-Faouly, are you willing to become the [Moon Knight] who protects the safety of night travelers?"
"By the way, my power is much stronger than Taweret's!"
"Hey, Khonsu, your behavior of openly robbing my avatar is expressly prohibited by the [Ennead]."
Taweret protested through Leila El-Faouly's body, but then the latter regained control of her body and questioned Khonsu with a face full of disbelief:
"Are you kidding me? You personally turned Marc's life into a nightmare-like farce, and now he's dead... died because of you, instead of thinking about how to revive him, you want me to work for you?"
"No, you are wrong, Marc actually died because of you." Khonsu immediately threw the blame, "The reason why he fell into crisis is all because of you, it was you who distracted him that led to his being killed."
"Now that what's done is done, even I can't reverse the ending, so if you really love him as you said, then take action to avenge him... and I can give you the power of revenge."
It has to be said that Khonsu's words are extremely bewitching, and he is also good at throwing the blame.
"No, I don't care about your power."
Leila El-Faouly retorted hysterically with red eyes, "Marc doesn't trust you, and I don't trust you either... I will avenge him, but with my own strength."
"Poor thing, your plan is doomed to failure, because with your strength and Taweret's power alone, you can't compete with Harrow and Amit, Taweret once told you this, believe it or not."
As soon as Khonsu's words fell, Taweret's voice rang out, "Leila, although this guy's words are disgusting, I have to admit that if we talk about fighting, Khonsu is indeed stronger than me."
Leila El-Faouly suddenly fell into silence, and after a long silence, she slowly said, "Okay, we can cooperate temporarily for revenge, but don't even think about enslaving me like you treated Marc!"
Khonsu was quite satisfied with this result, after all, the current situation is very critical, and he has no time to find other agents besides Leila in front of him.
"Next, you have to become my avatar first, and then we can work together to imprison Amit again."
After saying that, he poured his power into Leila El-Faouly's body, and the surface of the latter's body was immediately covered by a layer of gray-white shroud.
But the magical thing is that the pair of golden wings symbolizing the [Power of the Scarlet Scarab] behind her did not disappear with it.
Obviously, Leila El-Faouly successfully accommodated the power of two gods and became a double god choice.
It's just that, due to her own physique, and she didn't really believe in Khonsu and Taweret, the power she can use is also very limited.
"Now, how are we going to stop Amit?"
Leila El-Faouly felt a majestic force filling her whole body, which greatly increased her confidence.
"Don't worry, it's not that simple."
Khonsu reminded in a heavy tone, "Only by borrowing the remaining power of the other agents in the [Court of the Gods] can we have a chance to seal Amit again... but this time, I'm afraid we need to seal her into a mortal body."
"You mean using a real body instead of a statue?"
Leila El-Faouly asked somewhat uncertainly, "No problem, I think that bastard Arthur Harrow is the best candidate, but what should I do next?"
"Wait for my signal, I will try my best to weaken her power first, and then it will be your time to appear."
Immediately, Khonsu's figure directly turned into a wisp of smoke and appeared in the tomb chamber on the other side where Amit and a group of believers were, blocking their way.
"Oh, look who's here?"
Amit teased with a playful expression, "Khonsu, it seems that you are not having a good time here?"
"You're right."
Khonsu heavily slammed the scepter with a crescent-shaped front end in his hand on the ground, and said in a stern tone:
"But after the gods retreated to [Heavenly Realm·Heliopolis], [Egypt] became my territory, and I will not allow you to act recklessly here!"
That's right, the reason why Khonsu didn't hesitate to bet on being sealed up to stop Arthur Harrow from resurrecting Amit was not because he cared about the life and death of human beings.
But only because he was afraid that her appearance would take away the territory he had worked so hard to build up in [Egypt].
After all, nowadays, without the constraints of those old-fashioned [Ennead], Khonsu is living a very comfortable life in [Egypt].
When nothing happens, relying on his agent to kill people can get a lot of souls and beliefs.
Now suddenly a more powerful and more aggressive god jumps out and wants to get a share of the pie, no one can agree to this.
"Act recklessly?"
Amit slowly walked towards Khonsu and said in a calm tone, "No, my destiny is destined, like everyone else, I will bring a rare balance to this world..."
However, before she could finish her words, she was directly interrupted by Khonsu angrily, "Although you keep saying that you want balance, you have chosen a butcher as your agent."
Khonsu pointed the scepter in his hand at Arthur Harrow, who had a calm face on the opposite side, and said word by word, "Your incarnation is an out-and-out sinner!"
"Butcher? Sinner? These are all very serious accusations."
Amit shook her head with a playful expression, "If I remember correctly, the person who chose him as an agent should be you, right?"
"Khonsu, in my opinion, all your slander against him now is just jealousy of his loyalty to me..."
"Hehe, loyalty?"
Khonsu, who was exposed to his little thoughts, was somewhat broken, but he was still trying his best to suppress his anger.
"Then I want to ask you, what kind of price does such loyalty need to pay? Do you want to create an empty world? And... I'm sure, he is much more cunning than you think!"
Faced with the accusations, Arthur Harrow's face was still the same unhurried look, and he said lightly:
"My goddess, don't listen to this mad god's words, his eyes have long been blinded by jealousy and anger, he is just deliberately delaying time now, trying to find a way to seal you up again."
Compared to Khonsu, Amit obviously trusted Arthur Harrow more.
After all, one has been constantly hindering her from being released, and the other has tried her best to successfully release her.
"Khonsu, I know what you are thinking, but as a high-ranking god, your beliefs are too unswerving."
Amit's tone gradually became cold, "In fact, in my opinion, there is not much difference between you and me in our expectations for this world."
"It's just that you always like to punish those who have already committed evil deeds, but I prefer to completely kill the evil in the cradle before they commit evil deeds, so that no one will suffer."
"We two can obviously cooperate, but you always hinder me..."
But Khonsu obviously didn't like Amit's statement, and interrupted unceremoniously, "No, the things we two do are completely different, I judge sinners, but you attack people who haven't committed crimes yet."
"Amit, even after being locked up for two thousand years, you still don't know how to repent, I won't give you the chance to get involved in [Egypt]."
Amit sneered, "Is that so? It seems that there is nothing to talk about anymore!"
At the same time as the voice fell, Amit directly slapped Khonsu away with a tail.
