In Egypt, a massive pentagram array had appeared without warning, blanketing the sky and throwing countless people into a panic.

If the Grand Ritual had not been imminent, prompting Egypt's combined military and police forces to impose military control over its major cities, with countless troops patrolling the streets in tanks and armored vehicles to maintain order, people would already have fled en masse.

Even so, chaos was inevitable.

"Tour guide! You said only Milo City was dangerous and the rest of Egypt was perfectly safe? What's that in the sky? Fuck you!"

A tourist was arguing with a guide in the street.

"Where's the consulate? What's our country's consulate in Egypt doing? Shouldn't they be arranging a military escort to get us tourists home? Why haven't we heard anything? Why can't we even get through on the phone?"

"The pentagram array symbolizes the womb of the Underworld, and the Key of Life symbolizes a god's rebirth... Ra, is Osiris's arrival inevitable now?"

An elderly Hamite stared at the pentagram array in the sky in terror.

As descendants of the ancient Egyptians, the older Hamites knew a great deal about the culture bound to the blood in their veins.

The pentagram array and the Key of Life, symbols of Pharaohs and gods dying and being reborn, were not the symbols he encountered most often, but they were the ones he understood best.

After he died, both symbols would become part of his corpse.

And that was precisely why he was terrified.

After all, what had happened in Milo City was no longer a secret in Egypt.

"Why is this happening? Why must it happen? Why is God of the Underworld Osiris coming? Didn't Ra decree that the dead must not interfere with the living?"
