Chapter 322

Suddenly, Ritsuka, who had followed Novia in, found herself in what felt like an unexpected new place.

The enormous Sun was about to disappear below the horizon of the desert, and the majestic Nile River flowed by as if it were nestled against the Sun.

Soon, a fierce sandstorm surged above the boundless sea of sand and the benevolent river. Ritsuka instinctively covered her face, only then noticing the stone around her neck. It was because of the stone that the sandstorm could not obscure her.

Soon, the sandstorm disappeared.

At the center of the dissipating storm, Spider -like threads appeared, intertwined like a sand-colored cocoon, from which a new life would emerge.

A humanoid creature emerged from it, but due to the intense sunlight and rising heat, its exact appearance was obscured.

Although it is in human form.

However, Ritsuka felt that this person's head resembled both a dog's and another animal.

"Who are you..."

"Ah, that's right."

He confessed, "I killed my brother Osiris, locked him in a coffin, cut him into fourteen pieces, and threw them into the Nile to float away. Was I happy then? Very happy."

He was once revered as the king of the gods, but he was also accused of possessing great power from his Demon identity. Although he was regarded as Demon, he could not be ignored as the War God, so some people secretly worshipped him, and his name was the War God Set.

"Humans, you have dared to trespass into the abode of the great Pharaoh; you deserve to pay with your lives."

The god who killed his brother sneered and stretched out his hands, which instantly turned the color of mud and sand, with seven white jewels inlaid on each side. These exquisitely engraved symbols meant life in Egypt.

Set is indeed the Egypt War God, but there are some differences. Simply put, it is a fantasy version based on the Egypt War God war. After all, even a completely new mythology has traces of the original mythology. In general, he is indeed a deity.

"Divine Shell Enshrouding: The God-King Slaughtering the Fourteen Coffins."

This attack, equivalent to Noble Phantasm, was unleashed with such full force. This god was far too powerful to bear the 'evil' of Egypt. Moreover, given his Deity power in killing the chief god Osiris, this attack was something no Servant could escape, let alone Ritsuka was just an ordinary person.

"... How hateful! How despicable! How despicable!"

However, before Ritsuka could even witness the attack, Set suddenly barked and roared.

Following the direction the War God was looking, Ritsuka noticed that the majestic Nile River had turned blood red, and there was a faint "waaaaaaa" sound. It seemed that many small dots had appeared on the War God's body, colliding fiercely with Divine Power. The aftershocks were very weak, but because there were so many of them, cracks appeared on Set's body. Slowly, slowly, the cracks grew fatally larger.

The next second, hail began to fall on the desert. The all-encompassing white landscape made Ritsuka feel as if her retina had been burned. The wails of the Egypt gods were deafening. In the terror born from the aftershocks of the violent collision, the raging hurricane made the darkened world teeter on the brink of collapse.

Soon after, as her vision and hearing gradually returned, Ritsuka heard Novia's voice.

"Osiris's Sand, your subordinates cannot stop me."

When the Orange-Haired Girl looked up again, she realized that everything just now seemed to be an illusion. She and the others were still advancing in the Submarine Alexandria Library, and they were about to reach the last floor. Moreover, she looked at the Lord El-Melloi II, Mash and the others, and they had the same look in their eyes as she did.

What just happened might have been somewhat bewildering for Ritsuka, but for the Lord El-Melloi II Generation, who was well-versed in history and mythology, this was clearly a widely circulated scene of the desecration of the Egypt gods.

The Ten Plagues... can also be seen as the Authority of the one true God of the Church.

Indeed, as the Lord El-Melloi II had thought, Novia used the Ten Plagues. Although the Ten Plagues had never actually occurred in the world, there were too many records of them and they were very famous. Therefore, just as Ptolemy used culture to create a new mythology, he could also use this to create Authority specifically for Egypt.

In fact, it was through this means that Novia was able to easily defeat the countless Egypt gods by only using the power of the Pope. Within this Library, there is not just one god; just as the initial manifestations appeared like grains of sand, hundreds or even thousands of Set could appear.

However, faced with this Authority specifically for Egypt, especially the Egypt gods, the appearance of many gods would have the same result, since they were like sand, only able to rely on the Sun.

Reveal yourself, God's punishment.

Look up at everything in Egypt.

Kneel down, gods of Egypt.

This was the greatest terror in the history of the Egypt Age of Gods, aside from the invasion of the Giant God; its name was --

The Ten Plagues Deity Severance.

"I'll handle it myself."

Novia's voice sounded distant, but to Ritsuka, no matter how terrifying the mystery or how powerful the Deity, it was all easily penetrated by her ability, just like a dream that no matter how powerful a god or human was, they could not reach.

... No one can keep up with the speed of dreams.

However, in a daze, after Novia walked in alone, the girl blinked and noticed a pillar, or rather a very large stick, not far away. A human figure leaned out from behind it, watching with interest in the direction Novia had entered. Finally, after making a Buddhist gesture of clasping hands together, it seemed to be about to leave.

Finally, as if sensing Ritsuka's gaze, the humanoid figure turned around, smiled at Ritsuka, and then disappeared.

"..."

Ritsuka was momentarily speechless, because it was a monkey's face—not a metaphor, but a very endearing monkey's face.

Are there monkeys among the Egypt gods?

The girl asked, puzzled.

The moment they entered, the violent purple lightning storm that had been raging deep within the room, visible in Novia's azure eyes, intensified, encircling the two coffins. Simultaneously, the outline of one of the coffins, located on the inner side of the storm, became faintly visible, its surface adorned with a unique portrait—

A young girl dressed Pharaoh.

"What, I'm already here, aren't you going to see me?"

A creaking, grinding sound arose, accompanied by a tiny, continuous, and chilling vibration. Although no one touched it, the coffin lid opened by itself, instantly exposing the inside of the coffin to the air. Purple miasma then began to spread throughout the room along with the Aether Lines.

Within this purple miasma spreading from Aether Lines, Novia saw a large number of light particles gather together, forming a shape resembling the Sun. Each particle of light was knowledge, an equation, specifically the Spiritrons equation of the Director of the Atlas Institute.

And then, they saw the 'Osiris's Sand,' whose skin had become somewhat dark and whose hair had even turned black—the Supreme Being god who ruled over all things in Egypt in this new mythology.

"It really is you. I was a little dazed when I saw you. I'm sorry."

The Osiris's Sand murmured softly, their eyes closed.

"... Speaking of which, why did you do all this—"

Will what I'm doing affect you?

Novia was interrupted mercilessly by the Osiris's Sand before she could finish speaking.

"... No, it's just that you're the Director, right? As the Director, shouldn't you be doing your best to avoid Future of destruction, and shouldn't be acting as a driving force? Your current actions are impacting Human History."

"Is that so? According to my calculations, the permanent closure of the Alexandria Library will have absolutely no impact on Human History, because the Atlas Institute will not do anything about it, whether it gains or loses, it's all the same."

The Osiris's Sand remained with their eyes closed. "You, as Chaldea, came for the Holy Grail, didn't you? Now that I have succeeded through Ptolemy's Ritual, I give it to you."

Having said that, a Holy Grail appeared from the Aether Lines extending from the Osiris's Sand and was placed perfectly in Novia's hands.

Novia glanced at the Holy Grail, then at the Osiris's Sand, where the God-Eating Plan had already succeeded, and couldn't help but sigh.

As we all know, once the Singularity is repaired, everything that happened there will be presented in a way that is acceptable in 'Human History'. Therefore, the 'Ideal King' who was never recorded on the Planet should also disappear, since his recent cultural influence will also be erased.

However, since it is located in the Alexandria Library, once the Library of Alexander closes and disappears forever from the human world, the 'Osiris's Sand' that remain in the coffin and become the 'Ideal King' will also be engraved on the Planet.

After all, she was just staying here, and no one would affect her, nor would she affect anything. She would simply inscribe Ptolemy's new mythology on the Planet in a way that only she herself would remember.

This could be considered a clever trick, since the next time the museum opens will likely be the day this Planet faces its end.

In this way, having obtained the Holy Grail, the matter of the Rome Singularity has been resolved smoothly, and what follows will not affect Human History in the slightest. Therefore, leaving in this way seems to be the best solution.

Just as in the first century, it was enough for the two to exchange benefits with each other.

"Oh right, I remember I asked you to send that guy Albion back, didn't I? If you just leave it like this now..."

Novia continued, "So what should she do next?"

"Nero will handle this matter, and I have already informed the Atlas Institute staff that this is a commission from our institute."

The Osiris's Sand answered calmly.

"I still don't quite understand why you've become like this—"

"Do you think you understand me very well?"

The eyes of the Osiris's Sand opened.

With a whoosh, she stood up as if floating, her eyes gleaming with a color completely different from that of the Egypt gods up to this day.

Pure white.

But it seems to be the same Supreme Being Eye as the Supreme Being God Ra.

"Listen, I am the Osiris's Sand, I am the Philosopher's Stone That Stains the Earth Red, I am the Memorial Stele, I am limbs, I come from the crimson sky—"

"Spiritrons Calculation Device Hermes!"

Instantly, the Hermes Trismegistus, Atlas Institute's Greatest Recording Medium, which collects, distinguishes, and records a great deal of information on Earth, and which can provide Answer simply by inputting a question, appeared behind the Osiris's Sand like a piece of armor, and quickly transformed into a giant Robot that stretched out its hands to protect the Osiris's Sand.

Normally, the power of the Osiris's Sand alone can surpass the power of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors. In just one day, it would be enough to completely rewrite the world into a different Future, that is, the scene after the world is truly destroyed. It is not a mental landscape of the Reality Marble, but a fragment of the real Future, somewhat similar to the Authority of the Tezcatlipoca.

This is merely the result of the ultimate calculation of the Osiris's Sand, cutting off a piece of the Future and permanently storing it in the present.

Therefore, the Osiris's Sand, which is now both the Osiris's Sand of the Chief God of the new mythology, can completely achieve the Magecraft theory of the World Egg. By spending computation, the inner and outer sides of the egg, that is, the inner and outer sides of the world, can be alternated and cover the real world.

The Osiris's Sand not only signify Hermes' power, but also demand that Novia leave. In other words, it's a threat: if you continue to obstruct me, then prepare to unleash my full power to conquer the world.

"What you said makes a lot of sense, but..."

Novia shook her head, squinting her eyes. "But since I've come to you and chosen to take you away, in order not to disappoint my expectations, let's do it the old way."

As usual, just like when we first met at the Alexandria Library, whoever wins gets to do what they say.

"As you wish."

Thus, in the instantaneous display of the River of the Underworld's turbulent waves, behind the Osiris's Sand protected by the Robot transformed by Hermes, endless Egypt gods displayed their majesty, as if standing in the Universe, remaining motionless for a long time.

It was as if he were still demonstrating his current immense power to the First Pope of the Holy Church and his 'enemies'.

In the deathly silence, Novia gazed intently at the Osiris's Sand, whose eyes had closed once more. Looking at the girl, whose form remained unchanged despite the changes, she murmured softly, "Anything that exists on Earth will be seen through by Hermes, but even so, I still intend to face you this way."

Not the King of the Huns, not the Sun UO, not the Aspected God, but the Pope, the 'enemy' most familiar to him.

Therefore, countless burning points of light emerged in the room, mingling with the overwhelming power of the gods. Amidst the endless movement of sand, these lights were taut like strings, as if they were corroding the flowing River of the Underworld, replacing everything in Egypt.

Meanwhile, in order to deal with the seemingly endless Egypt gods, hundreds of figures appeared on the Egypt River of the Underworld, reflecting the fields and everything in the world.

Based on the Noble Phantasm 'Owner of Sacred Secrets' and the skill 'Holy One Pope', these are the figures of all the Pope who have existed since the founding of the Church, manifested through the use of their automatic consciousness. Each Pope has an EX-level Magic Resistance, a minimum level of A-level Territory Creation, and all members Ruler. In addition, there are illusory shadows of Angels and Demons.

Thus, in order to deal with the enemies of the First Pope, all the beings that were called upon faced the Egypt gods above with ruthless killing intent. In the instant that they were locked onto by countless rays of light, even the gods who appeared as gods of a new mythology were stunned for a moment and fell into a daze.

With just a single thought, everyone in that camp spontaneously exerted their strength to carry out his orders, transform his ideas, and draw upon boundless power to create this astonishing spectacle. The sharp edge tore through the River of the Underworld of Egypt, and wherever it passed, everything was cleanly and decisively sliced into a straight line.

Pointing towards the Deity, countless traces intertwine with the Osiris's Sand.

Furthermore, the Ten Plagues Deity Severance at this time, so the Church receives a boost, while Egypt receives a negative boost.

To this, the Osiris's Sand simply nodded slightly, unsurprised.

Yes, I believe in your power. Even though I used the plan to rewrite the world since the Age of Gods and achieved the technology to bring wild fantasies into reality, I believe that the dreams that humanity places on you are no less powerful.

Even though that's what she thought, her hands didn't slow down at all, and countless Aether Lines began to extend towards Novia.

The power of all the Deity, including Ra, Tefnut, Nut, Set, and Osiris, was carefully and gently picked out like grains of sand, and gathered one by one in the hands of the Osiris's Sand, which became a towering mountain.

Unity of All Gods, this is the Osiris's Sand at this moment.

By constantly adjusting and ensuring cyclical calculations, all power is channeled around a single axis and a single will, converging in one's own hands. This allows one to alter everything before them with their own will, and with Hermes's strategies, everything on Earth can be observed...

In the beginning, God said, "Let there be light."

Hearing that familiar voice and those familiar words, Osiris's Sand felt a little disoriented.

It was just a brief lapse in concentration, a fleeting moment that passed in the blink of an eye.

Now, with Novia's will, the Egypt gods have fallen. Because if they were given non-existent illusions, the destructive power of the Ten Plagues would be far too terrifying for Egypt, and countless mournful cries have already spread.

"Hermes still has the strength to fight."

"The Words of Revelation Holy Spirit."

To this, Novia simply smiled, spread her arms, and listened to the countless voices emanating from the Stars.

Countless crisp sounds echoed, and inexhaustible power extended from within. Even the Three Beasts of the Apocalypse, originally intended as the first food source, did not appear in their enormous form, but instead merged into it with an accommodating attitude.

At this moment, the first step of the Book of Revelation is complete.

In the Submarine Alexandria Library, the vast light of countless stars completely pierced the darkness, and terrifying power poured in continuously. The power from the Ghostliner also resonated through this, transforming into Rainbow -like bridge that crossed infinite space and time to reach this Library.

Shall we proceed to step two?

That shouldn't be necessary.

The sword held in Novia's left hand, manifesting the power of Angel floating in the sky, is a transformation of the Walking Stick once possessed by Jesus Christ. It is not Holy Sword created from Planet, but rather a radiant weapon that, through numerous legends derived from the Book of Revelation, embodies the concepts of many legendary and even non-existent weapons.

Amidst the infusion of boundless miracles and power, a majestic Throne emerged behind Novia.

It was as if we were being welcomed into a sky full of Stars.

Amidst the roar of the Ten Plagues from Egypt, countless concepts drew this Throne, causing it to rise slowly.
