Thoth is walking in the temple of omniscience. He is the god of knowledge and wisdom, and he values knowledge very much. At the same time, this guy is also very conceited, thinking that he is the smartest and most knowledgeable god in the world.
In fact, it's pretty much the same.
But smart people have always had a shortcoming, that is, they tend to look down on others.
Thoth happens to be this kind of person. He always thinks very highly of himself, but his force value is not strong... In fact, the gods of wisdom in all civilizations in the world are almost like this, well, except for Athena of Olympus.
This sister is not only the god of wisdom, but also the goddess of war and the goddess of art. She has many vocations. This is also a special case.
Coupled with Thoth's chatty nature, this guy always offends others for no apparent reason.
Because he can't control his mouth.
After the Egyptian pantheon left the earth, it also began to deteriorate rapidly... There was no way, life was too good. What was the living environment of the Egyptian protoss like when they were on earth? Next door was the Sumerian civilization, and across the sea was the Olympus protoss.
, further south, we talk about various African pantheons.
There are competitors ahead, left and right.
So when Kai met the Egyptian gods, they were still very worried, and overall the atmosphere was very good. But after coming to the universe, each of the gods has a larger territory and more believers than before.
.
For example, the Egyptian gods are very prosperous, and they have hundreds of worlds who believe in them.
This caused the Egyptian gods to start degenerating rapidly starting from Horus. They began to indulge in pleasure, and Thoth was very dissatisfied with this. He believed that the current policy implemented by the gods was wrong, and the gods should embrace more knowledge and more knowledge.
Lots of changes.
Instead of following the ancient and backward system like now.
He doesn't like to stifle inventions and creations, he prefers to see the emergence of new ideas, and he also wants to see believers able to use their ingenuity to live a better life.
As for believers who began to despise the gods after developing technology... he felt that this was the gods making a fuss out of a molehill.
Belief in gods should be integrated into the daily lives of believers, and their teachings should be changed, instead of still using the fear of believers to force believers to believe. This is useless! You know, the Pantheon still cyclically changes to this day.
Let believers experience the 'Apocalypse'!
The so-called Revelation was written by Saint John, a disciple of Jesus. He saw a series of visions about the end of the world given to him by God on the island of Patmos.
In the Book of Revelation, there are two very special symbols - lambs and angels. The lamb represents Jesus Christ, the "Lamb of God" in the Bible. Jesus washes away people's sins through his own sacrifice.
. Angels represent God’s messengers, carrying out God’s will and judgment, and appear frequently in the book. In this book, the Lamb has the power to open seven seals. Whenever the Lamb opens a seal, it will
A series of natural disasters or disasters occurred, such as the Four Horsemen who brought conquest, war, famine and death. These are very intuitive and shocking descriptions, which make people reflect on human behavior and the final consequences. Next, the seven angels
Seven trumpets will be blown, and each time they are blown, different disasters will occur in the world. These disasters include natural disasters or man-made disasters and other forms of catastrophic punishment, which means punishment corresponding to disrespecting God. Then, there are
The seven angels each held seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of God. They poured out these bowls in turn. Each time they poured out, they would bring new disasters, such as sea water turning to blood, fresh water turning to blood, scorching heat caused by the scorching sun, and
Darkness, drought, great earthquakes, etc. Through these actions of the Lamb and the angels, the Book of Revelation runs through God’s authority, judgment, and ultimate redemption and hope for mankind. The combination of these symbols and complexity makes the Book of Revelation
It has become a diverse object of interpretation, in which everyone, whether religious leaders, scholars or ordinary believers, can find profound meaning.
Although there is no such thing as a Bible in the Pantheon.
But the principles are the same, which is to let mortals experience the pain of doomsday, and then let them understand that only by believing in gods can they obtain salvation.
To put it bluntly, it is to use periodic disasters to cleanse mortals so that they cannot resist the rule of gods, let alone shake their belief in gods. Just like what is described in the Book of Revelation, only those mortals who truly believe in gods can survive.
As for those mortals who blaspheme and do not believe in gods, they will be killed!
It is through this periodic disaster that the gods can continuously strengthen their faith.
This seemingly glorious and almighty city was actually built using the lives and sufferings of countless mortals.
Thoth was disgusted with this approach. He believed that gods were only guides for mortals, not rulers, and they should not directly rule mortals.
Although Thoth's ideas are still very immature and idealistic, it has nothing to do with wisdom, but only has to do with vision. After all, the world he sees has always been like this.
But it has to be said that he is indeed a rare reformist among the pantheon.
But like almost all smart people, they think more and do less. People always like to be narcissistic. Those who "think they are smart" always like to hold conferences in their minds, debate endlessly, and make things difficult.
It's like an international summit. In the maze of thinking, we build a lot, but we don't know that this "maze of thought" actually has no exit. The more we think, the less we do, and in the end we can only become a "connoisseur of internal friction"
”, trapped by oneself in the web weaved by oneself. Do you think this is practicing an advanced form of “home meditation”?
Smart people are encouraged everywhere, how can they become smart people. But you will find that smart people often fail to accomplish great things, and the ones who laugh in the end are often honest people who seem to be a little "stupid". A person who thinks he is smart,
We often fall into a state of feeling good about ourselves, which is a sign of arrogance and arrogance.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Kazuo Inamori said: "I don't think highly of smart people because they are self-righteous, eager for success, like to find shortcuts in everything, and lack the spirit of hard work and hard work."
It is difficult for people to achieve anything great.
That's what Toth is.
To put it bluntly, he just likes to talk, but if he is really asked to do it, he becomes timid again and doesn't know where to start.
You can call this kind of person a loudmouth.
Because of this, Thoth was actually not popular in his own pantheon, so he was sent to the Almighty City. Don’t you like to talk about it? Then go to the Almighty City and talk freely at the meeting of the gods... Anyway
No one listened.
The power of the Egyptian gods is still very great, at least they are a very powerful branch of the pantheon.
However, unlike many pantheons, their main gods do not like to stay in the Almighty City. For example, the core of the Egyptian pantheon, the Sky God Horus, prefers to stay in the headquarters of his pantheon rather than the Almighty City.
.
Instead, it was unpopular dissidents like Thoth who were sent to the Almighty City.
He is also not very popular in the Almighty City Thoth.
So he was sent to the Temple of Omniscient... Thoth, who had always been disliked.
Of course, Toth is not exclusive of this position.
I'm just a little depressed, feeling that my intelligence is not understood by others.
At this moment, a divine attendant came to Thoth.
"The great god Thoth and the god Eros send you an invitation, hoping that you can come to his banquet."
This kind of thing is very common.
The Almighty City is a city of great communication. Banquets are a necessity here. Almost every moment of the day, gods hold banquets. Some banquets are pure enjoyment. God knows what will happen at such banquets...
There are all the ways you can think of, or you can't think of, here, and they are even more excessive and indulgent!
There are also some banquets that are more like some kind of political ceremony. The atmosphere of the banquet is not crazy, but it is full of various exchanges of interests and private transactions.
There are also some that do both.
However, Thoth rarely accepted such invitations. Firstly, because Thoth believed that wise men should not indulge in that kind of physical pleasure, which was too vulgar. Secondly, Thoth had few friends.
He prefers to be alone and think.
Very personal.
Although he didn't understand why Eros invited him, Thoth still planned to refuse out of habit.
But after seeing Thoth's intention to refuse, the god's attendant immediately said: "This is not a banquet sponsored by the god Eros, but an old friend of yours... He left you a message, he asked you,
Do you remember the Sphinx in Quicksand Prison?"
Thoth's expression became very strange, and then he looked down at the Divine Attendant: "Who told you this?!!"
The divine servants became frightened. As divine servants, they were naturally lower than the level of gods. Even the most powerful divine servants could not compare with the weakest gods. This was not a gap in strength, but a gap in status.
It's a bit like the Asan family's caste system. No matter how rich you are in the lower caste, don't even think about dancing in front of the upper caste, it will kill someone.
Other gods are one family. Although the servants of gods are said to be on the same level as gods, in fact... this class cannot be crossed.
"I don't know...it was said by the messenger of God Eros."
He also couldn't figure out why God Thoth was so excited.
In fact, this is related to a past event.
Do you still remember the rebellion started by Seth before?
When Seth rebelled, all the Egyptian gods were actually present. However, except for Horus, everyone was intimidated by Seth's power and did not dare to intervene in the rebellion.
Thoth watched helplessly as Set killed Osiris and witnessed the duel between Set and Horus. Horus was defeated and had his divine eye gouged out by Set.
The Egyptian gods are very interesting. They are twice as tall as ordinary people, have gold flowing in their bodies, control the reincarnation of the world, sit in majestic palaces, and are respected by thousands of people... Their appearance is similar to that of mortals, but their bodies are taller than ordinary people, which makes them very special.
Conspicuous and unmistakable.
But this is not the original image of the Egyptian gods. They also have a second form.
In this form, they will transform into their true self.
Kai's transformation into the King of Knights is essentially like this.
After they transform into their original image, they will become taller, their bodies will turn into metal, and their heads will change into animal forms.
Take Seth, for example. The image of Seth is usually a god with a jackal head and human body, with rectangular ears and a long, curved and protruding mouth. Some people believe that this actually depicts a native pig, or another type of animal that has not yet been discovered.
Discernible beast. In addition to the animals mentioned above, Seth is sometimes depicted with the head of an antelope, donkey, crocodile or hippopotamus.
Each god has his own unique artifact. Based on the beliefs of civilians, the god's power comes from this piece of equipment. The god of the sky is the eyes, the god of wisdom is the brain, and the ex-girlfriend of the desert god is the wings...
The God of the Desert not only wants to rule the world, but also wants to make his abilities unmatched by anyone, including the Sun God, so he constantly hunts other gods to obtain more powerful divine power to make up for his own shortcomings. Even if he is a god
There were also times when he was helpless. Horus, the god of the sky, lost his divine power after his eyes were gouged out by Set and hid in his father's tomb. Seth kept building his own palaces, launching wars, and robbing other gods of their divine powers.
He took the eye of Horus (one) and placed it on his forehead. The left eye of the "Eye of Horus" represents the moon, and the right eye represents the sun, which can see through everything.
He took Thoth's brain and placed it in the back of his head to make himself smarter.
He took the wings of Nephthys so that she could fly freely. (Nephtis, the patron saint of houses and the dead, is also the god of fertility, the daughter of Geb, the earth god, and Nut, the sky goddess, Osiris,
The sister of Seth and Isis, the wife of Seth, the god of desert and war, and the mother of Anubis. As the patron saint of the dead, she often appears behind Pluto Osiris with her sister, the goddess of life Isis. By the way, Ah
Nubis is the illegitimate son of Osiris and Nephthys, which makes it easy to understand why Seth rebelled)
Let’s go too far and let’s talk about Thoth.
Thoth witnessed everything at first, but he did not dare to openly resist Seth. He could only kneel down to Seth with others and express his surrender.
But Thoth was unwilling to be ruled by Seth, because Seth was a madman.
So he secretly supported Kai and Horus in their resistance, and Quicksand Prison was an important node in their resistance.
Seth's power comes from the desert. If they want to defeat Seth, they must go to Seth's temple in the desert, a prison surrounded by quicksand. There is nothing there except the desert, the source of Seth's power.
fire.
As long as the water of the Styx is used to extinguish Seth's desert fire, Seth will be rendered powerless.
However, Seth also left a backup force there.
In addition to the extremely unstable quicksand, there is also a Sphinx.
The Sphinx is what people often call a sphinx. It will ask visitors questions, usually riddles.
If the answer is correct, then it will satisfy the requirement.
If the answer is wrong, it will eat the visitor.
This Sphinx was created by Seth using his divine power to be very powerful.
