Chapter 563 8.81 City of the Dead (2)
Chapter 563 81 City of the Dead (2)
After the "malicious" Sieg retreated,
the next person to stand in front of Osiris was Loki. Read
Loki at this time was no longer the young man he used to be. Since he robbed Old Walder, a member of the Illuminati, from the land of the Slavs, he had seen too many strange things in this world.
He had killed ancient monsters, killed the Outer Gods, and killed the Old Ones.
He even killed an Illuminati leader with his own hands.
Facing the 10-meter-tall Egyptian Hades, Loki looked at him as if he was looking at a clumsy elephant. His eyes were calm, without any fear hidden in them.
"Although I don't know what means you, old man, have used to survive in this shitty place for so many years, I sincerely hope that you don't think that I will surrender just because you teleported me here."
"Haha"
Osiris looked back at the lizard man standing on the armrest of the throne, and both of them smiled with contempt and a little mockery.
"Lord Loki."
"I want to thank you!"
"Five years ago, you not only brought me Nefertiti who was on the run, but also brought me Sophie, a capable assistant."
"She really knows you too well!"
"If it weren't for her advice, we might not be able to catch you again."
Osiris stood up, stretched out his big hand and carefully put the golden-faced man standing on his shoulder, "Lord of Dusk" Sardin, to the ground.
"Even in this situation, there is still a flame of resistance in your eyes!"
"You don't think you still have a chance to turn the tables at this point, do you?"
Sardin slowly took off the mask on his face. This is a lizard man without any human skin.
Compared with "Lord of the Earthsea" Mutu, his scales are light gold. A pair of strange golden vertical pupils looked at Loki's eyes, as if looking at a dead fish on a chopping board.
"I call you Lord because you have repeatedly challenged my perception of mortals."
"First of all, as an ordinary Viking village chief, you have risen like a star in just 8 years and become a dominant overlord."
"This already makes me respect you."
"Under such circumstances, you can still kill the old stubborn Mutu with a mortal body. This has never happened in my tribe!"
"The 12 leaders of the Illuminati were created by my great Father of Light. My compatriots have lived on this planet for 200 million years and have experienced nearly a hundred rounds of Different civilizations."
"Countless gods descended on this planet, they survived, prospered, and destroyed."
"Humans are by no means one of the most powerful races on this planet. But we never expected that after all the ups and downs of our 12 brothers, one of them would die in your hands!"
"Even Leviathan, who has a longer lifespan than ours, died under your butcher knife."
"I really want to know how you killed our Ark."
Since Loki became the emperor, bards on all continents have been compiling legends about him. They all attributed the credit for killing Leviathan to him.
Little did they know that Loki was only a Sequence 8 under the "Red God Path" at that time. The power of science can hurt Leviathan, but the one who really gave it a fatal blow was Feng Huzi, a pre-Qin Qi-refining master who had been swallowed by him for a thousand years.
It's a pity that this secret became an unspoken secret after Feng Huzi's death and Youm's departure.
"Five years ago, when we successfully captured you, we sealed you in the 'Sealed Temple' in the underworld."
"I have seen people escape from here, but most of the strong can only escape in the form of spirits and try to re-enter reincarnation."
"After they left, all they could do was to escape as undead bodies. He never thought about looking for his physical body."
"Because he knew he couldn't find it."
"You are the only one who can successfully return to the human world with a physical body after the Illuminati entered the underworld.
I am very curious, how did you do it?"
"Or to put it more bluntly, who is helping you?!"
Sardin stretched out his pale golden lizard claws, pulled Sophie next to him, and buckled the sharp lizard claws on her neck. He looked into Sophie's eyes, and a pair of vertical pupils instantly became sharp.
"Have you been plotting against me since 5 years ago!"
"Lord Loki, you are doomed today. I hope you can tell me who helped you escape from the Sealed Temple before you die!"
"Not only have you regained your consciousness, but you have also got your own body and even weapons!"
"You can't do this without the help of the Illuminati members!"
Sadin looked at the hundreds of Illuminati members standing silently on both sides. At this moment, he felt that everyone was a traitor.
"Who is it?!"
"Which one of you betrayed me!"
"Is it you?"
"It must be you!"
"You started the plot 5 years ago, right?!"
Sophie did not struggle, but shook her head gently.
"Master, you have to think it over."
"If I hadn't opposed the opposition and brought the 'Abyss Lurker' into the Temple of Anubis 3 years ago, I can guarantee that no one in the temple can survive the broad axe of my adoptive father."
"I am a priest under your command!"
"You should believe me."
Sadin blinked his eyes and regained his sanity from his momentary rage. The Illuminati has a strict rate for peripheral members, and has zero tolerance for traitors.
Thinking carefully about what Sophie has done, if all traitors act like her, they can tie up an evil enemy like Loki in front of him.
It's okay to have more traitors like this.
"Forget it"
"Let me do it myself!"
The 12 leaders of the Illuminati each have their own specialties. For the Lord of Dusk, Sadin, he is the most powerful illusionist among the 12 leaders, second only to the leader in the field of magic.
Letting go of Sophie, Sadin grabbed the back of Loki's head.
He performed the "Soul Search Technique" and quickly flipped through the memories in his brain like flipping a book.
However, Loki's memory in the past ten years is blank.
Sadin couldn't help but feel more worried.
"Duke Loki, I don't know who is helping you. But now I have to admit that you have sentenced yourself to death!"
"I will not continue to seal you.
I would rather take a gamble and send you to the underworld!"
"Perform the 'Weighing the Heart Ceremony'!"
Stretching out his right hand full of ancient curses, he raised it to the ceiling, and a huge golden scale and two groups of "Abyss Lurkers" with scarlet eyes slowly appeared from the void behind him.
This is the "Weighing the Heart Ceremony" that must be performed to enter the underworld.
According to the "Death Process" written in the "Book of the Dead", entering the Hades Palace to meet Hades is only the first step of the death ceremony. The "Weighing the Heart Ceremony" performed in the next step is the basis for evaluating whether mortals can enter the underworld.
Mergwen summarized two reasons through continuous comparison of ancient scrolls.
1. Not all mortals can enter the underworld.
The strongest in human civilization, such as the Spartan King Leonidas I, the Whip of God Attila, or the pre-Qin God of Killing Bai Qi, are all demons who have committed a lot of killings in the human world.
Their appearance will cause an imbalance in the population of the Yin and Yang worlds.
On the one hand, the death of a large number of mortals will cause the number of undead in the underworld to expand greatly. At the same time, the continuous war has reduced the population of the human world, and the number of women available for childbearing will also decrease.
On one hand, it is overcrowded, and on the other hand, it cannot be consumed.
This will cause great trouble to the operation of the two worlds.
It is very dangerous to let such dangerous elements enter the underworld and reincarnate again. Therefore, after discovering such individuals, Osiris usually responds by sending them to the "Sealing Temple" to seal them up.
Avoid reincarnation forever.
2. Not everyone is qualified to enter the underworld.
The underworld is similar to the human world, both of which are self-proclaimed planes. For thousands of years, many foreign gods who landed from the outside world have wanted to mix into the underworld.
For example, ‘malice’ Sieg. He originally came to this plane to devour spirits.
In this case, the most effective method is to perform the heart-weighing ritual.
After the scale landed intact, the “Lord of Dusk” leaped and landed lightly in front of Loki.
Behind him, the “heart-eating beast” Amin, who was as huge as a wild elephant, also followed in time.
Under the red gaze of the abyss lurker, Loki’s meridians were sore and numb, and he was completely unable to put up any effective resistance. He could only watch the lizardman leader in front of him stretch out his right palm, his palm like a knife, and instantly pierced his chest.
However, at this moment, the calm lizardman’s eyes flashed with a hint of doubt.
He touched a hard object!
All organs in the human body should be made of flesh and blood. Humans are not Mohist puppets. How could there be hard foreign objects in the body?
Especially growing in the position of the heart!
Hesitantly, he slowly pulled his hand out of Loki's chest. A large amount of blood gushed out from the wound and fell to the ground, immediately forming a thick scarlet blood mist.
In the blood mist, the Lord of Dusk brought the beating heart to his eyes.
When he saw clearly what the foreign object in his hand was.
His eyes shrank.
