The King of Ancient Egypt, Beckett in the Pyramid

"Wh-what?"

Staring at the savior before him, Menis was momentarily stunned, unsure of what to say.

He thought he must have misheard, but Beckett's expression told him he hadn't.

"As a savior, isn't it your duty to cleanse those demons from other dimensions?"

Beckett's smile widened, while the vengeful orange cat on his shoulder clenched its pink paws and meowed righteously.

It's as if it's saying, "That's it, meow!"

"I see, no wonder you are the savior!"

Recalling Beckett's Kami performance six months ago, Menis clenched his right fist and slammed it into his left palm, suddenly realizing the truth.

"In that case, please follow me."

"To meet the otherworldly demon god Orphie, we must use the treasures of our tribe."

"Treasure?"

"Yes." Menis stood up, seemingly finally remembering Hela, and bowed respectfully to her before turning to lead the way.

Before this, Hela seemed to have been completely forgotten, becoming a spectator along with The Other Woz, sitting on the sidelines the whole time.

"Pay attention to follow the Savior."

Beckett turned his head, and the provocative look in his eyes made Hela grit her teeth in anger.

[Keep pretending! You know absolutely nothing about magic, I'll see how you die!]

Hela smiled, kicked over the sand pot that Woz had been bending over and sweeping for most of the day, and followed after him, swaying her hips.

Woz had just pulled a bottle of engine oil he'd brought back from Sakaar from his belly pocket to replenish his energy, stared blankly at the sand canister on the ground. He blinked and looked in the direction Hela and Beckett had left. "????"

"Let's go, Woz." The Other sighed, gripping the scepter inlaid with the Mind Stone in his arms. He patted Woz's puzzled head, sighed again, and jogged after him, looking extremely obsequious. "Your His Highness Beckett, wait for me!"

"???" Little Woz was holding the oil can in both hands, with a few drops of dark oil still on his lips, completely bewildered.

Forty minutes later, Beckett and his companions, who had walked into the magical teleportation point, vanished instantly into the icy landscape.

Shortly after Beckett and his group disappeared, Cuba, who had previously met Beckett and claimed to be a disciple of the Sorcerer Supreme, quietly appeared next to the teleportation point.

His handsome face was full of confusion.

"This power..."

"Is it Horus, Lord Dormammu's enemy?"

On the other side of the teleportation array, under the blazing sun, Beckett and his group, following Menis, appeared in a settlement that was clearly more developed than other tribes.

"Here it is..."

"This is the new tribe I established under the guidance of the Savior."

"I will be here to build a civilization powerful enough for our Midgard."

Menis's eyes shone with confidence as he spoke of this.

He believed that the power he obtained from the corpse of that otherworldly demon god was enough to overcome all the difficulties and obstacles on his path.

In fact, he has been on this path for nearly half a year now. Having taken over the position of leader of Upper Egypt from his father, he is about to conquer Lower Egypt, and the unification of Egypt is just around the corner.

If he hadn't been invited by his former organization to handle some business in Northern Europe, where he encountered someone attempting to break down barriers and guide a demon from another dimension to descend, he might have already completed his unification efforts and freed the people under his rule from the suffering of war.

"That is...?"

"My statue?"

With sharp eyes, Beckett looked into the distance and spotted a huge statue of himself inside an unfinished building, and, well, Hela's too.

"Yes, those are statues I personally crafted for the two saviors. And, in order to better protect the statues of the two saviors, I designed and began constructing this unique building."

Menis, who answered respectfully, pointed to a giant stone tablet standing not far from them, covered with writing that Beckett and Hela could not understand at all.

However, although he couldn't understand the text, Beckett could understand the pictures.

On the stone tablet is a picture of a building that is pointed at the top and wide at the bottom, and looks like a triangle when viewed from the front.

"That is the place of worship that I built for the statues of the two saviors."

Menis' eyes were filled with fervor and pride.

This was the only thing he could do for His Savior.

He built statues, he wrote books and biographies.

To protect the statue from wind and rain, he even designed this unique building to shelter it from the elements.

He wanted his descendants, the descendants of the kingdom, and all his descendants to remember the unparalleled heroism of the Savior, who descended like a god to help defeat the vanguard of the Nine Realms Alliance and save them!

Most importantly, he wanted to be placed in this unique building after his death, to rest in peace beside his beloved savior.

This was his personal desire as a king, and it could also be considered a small act of willfulness on his part.

"You..."

A flicker of surprise crossed Beckett's eyes.

Even he found the construction of this unique building to be both whimsical and stunning.

Furthermore, Beckett could foresee that it would be extremely difficult for the Midgard, with their limited technological capabilities, to construct such a building.

However, the man did not give up, and in less than half a year, he had already completed two-thirds of the building.

All I wanted was to express my gratitude and respect for him.

For the first time, Beckett's face showed a complex emotion because of the presence of someone who was not an enemy.

He didn't understand what was driving Menis to do this.

But...

Surprisingly, this feeling is not bad...?

Hela, who had expected Beckett to say "utterly boring," glanced at him with surprise, as he remained silent. She had no interest in the statue.

There are countless myths and legends about her and her father Odin in that icy, snowy land of Midgard. She has long been so used to them that she feels nothing for them anymore.

But,

"What, are you very moved?" Hela raised an eyebrow, walked forward with a playful expression, and teased the expressionless Beckett with the emotion welling up in her eyes.

"Boring."

Beckett gave Hela a cold glance and turned around. "Tell me how to see that Orphie, Menis."

"Yes, Savior."

Menis hurriedly caught up with Beckett and took out a solid gold pendant from his residence.

The pure gold pendant, like the building, was triangular in shape, with a strange eye pattern engraved on its surface. The surging magic stored within it caused the smile on Hela's face to gradually disappear.

"This is a magical container that I obtained from a demon god from another dimension named Horus."

"If it is, it should be able to allow you, Savior, to meet the otherworldly demon god Orphie."

P. S.: A little science lesson: Menis, a king of the Ancient Egypt dynasty, was the man who unified Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt.

PS2: According to the encyclopedia, the time when Menis unified Egypt was around 3100 BC, which happens to be related to Beckett's timeline, so I used him and Ancient Egypt civilization to make some modifications.

After all, the pyramids and such are unsolved mysteries of Ancient Egypt civilization (laughs).

PS3: Actually, I initially wanted to use Gilgamesh as the subject of my writing, since I could write about how Gilgamesh's personality was influenced by Beckett Beckett became arrogant and conceited. However, I was worried about being attacked and taught a lesson by some Gilgamesh fans and being maliciously reported, so I gave up on that idea. I was even accused of insulting Misaka Mikoto when I used the Misaka Mikoto meme before. I'm not going to touch Gilgamesh anymore. I can't afford to mess with Gilgamesh fans. I'm scared.

PS4: Don't ask me why I don't write about the ancient civilization of China. The reason is that the civilization of China has a long history and has never been interrupted, so it's not easy to handle.

The Ancient Egypt civilization has all become dust of history; it will be easier to deal with when Beckett returns to Earth (just kidding).

PS5: Actually, I didn't initially plan to write about Ancient Egypt civilization; I just wanted to modify a religion. However, due to well-known reasons, I was forced to abandon the project, changed the outline and plot, and all ten chapters I had written were scrapped...
