Chapter 190 The Walls of Thebes

Chapter 190 · The Walls of Thebes

Jiang Yu still remembers the beginning of The Mummy 2.

It was a story from five thousand years ago, a very old story. In that era, the era of the pharaohs had not yet begun, and there were many city-states that failed to unify scattered on both sides of the Nile.

They fought and attacked each other. Many kingdoms rose and fell from time to time, and all places that could be called "civilized" could become the most tragic battlefields at any time.

It was a chaotic era - it was also an era when heroes and ambitious people emerged in endlessly.

And in that era, there was a person whose name was particularly loud.

The name of that person was Mosius. He was the last Akkadian and the most powerful warrior at that time. He rose in that era, for peace, or for ambition. The people who gathered around him because of his strength and deeds soon formed a large army, and he was immediately honored as the king.

The Scorpion King - the Scorpion Emperor.

He had the ambition to unify the world and declare his own hegemony. He led his army to attack all directions, and powerful city-states surrendered one after another at his feet. Finally, he and his army arrived at his last obstacle - Thebes, the sacred city. As long as he could completely take down this city, he would be able to become the true king of the earth.

However, he failed - he led his army to attack Thebes for seven years. But in the end, he and his army were driven into the Amshe desert, enjoying the despair of being gradually roasted into mummies under the scorching sun.

One by one, his loyal soldiers fell in the desert. And soon, he was the only one left. And when he was dying, this powerful warrior made a wish to Anubis - if Anubis was willing to spare his life and defeat his enemies for him, then he was willing to offer his soul.

Anubis fulfilled his wish - He created the Amshe Oasis for him and gave him the power to command the army of the dead. With the help of divine power, Mosauus successfully crossed the high walls of Thebes and put this great city under his feet by relying on this cursed army that mortals could not compete with.

He won, and he became the real king who unified the land of Africa.

At the same time as his victory, Anubis could not wait to execute the contract between man and god. The warrior's soul was directly dragged into hell by the god of death and turned into the eternal servant of the god. The army of the god of death led by Mosauus also disappeared from the earth, leaving the holy city of Thebes, which was full of war, and all returned to the Pyramid of the God of Death in the Oasis of Amshe.

This is the full picture of the story, the full picture of The Mummy 2.

However, Jiang Yu, who knows the derivative movie Scorpion King series, knows that the story of Mosauus is far more than that.

This is a very powerful, brave and amazing warrior with amazing command ability. However, no matter how powerful it is, it can't resist the tricks imposed on the warrior by fate.

In the first part of Scorpion King, Mosius overthrew the rule of an evil dynasty, and was honored as king by his subjects under the expectation of the people. However, in the plot of the third part of Scorpion King (the second part has nothing to do with him), his prophet wife died unfortunately, and the kingdom was destroyed for unknown reasons. He was left alone and stepped onto the battlefield again.

He crossed countless legendary challenges and won the favor of another princess of the kingdom. In the end, he returned to the new kingdom with the glory of victory, and the crown was naturally given to him again-by the way, the name of this king is very meowing Horus. In theory, this Horus is the same as the one in the temple.

However, even with Horus as a father-in-law. In the plot of the fourth part, his wife died again, and his kingdom was destroyed again. He was alone again and stepped onto a new battlefield.

Of course, there was a new princess and a new kingdom. The Scorpion King became the new king again. Then... in the fifth part, the same plot came again.

Mosauus's kingdom was destroyed again. His princess wife died again. Then he was alone again, embarking on a journey to an unknown land, and then another princess favored him.

It was outrageous, but this was not the end.

Mosauus had not yet formed an army to attack Thebes. It was unknown how many unlucky princesses had taken a fancy to him before he embarked on that fateful war, and how many unlucky kingdoms were waiting for him to rule - he was undoubtedly a capable, generous, kind and fair king. And his fate with the gods... that was really not bad at all.

Horus was his father-in-law, and I don't know why he appeared here, but anyway, Ishtar, who appeared, also set his sights on him. As for Anubis, the god of death... this younger brother really needs to be mentioned later. His soul undoubtedly had the weight of a demigod at that time. If copyright issues were not taken into account, he and Hercules next door were equally matched.

In short, it was outrageous.

And why would the god of death Anubis agree to his empty wish in the Amushai Desert, and couldn't wait to take his soul away the moment the contract was reached... Under this premise, it became very clear and even natural.

After all, this guy's soul is so precious. It can even be said that Anubis can accept this contract and he has to smile in his heart.

After thinking back and examining all the information that only the foresighted know. A bold guess quietly emerged in Jiang Yu's mind-Is it possible that Anubis played a trick at the beginning, so he was able to snatch the soul of this warrior from the eyes of many gods who had a connection with Mosius? And the reason why the plot of the second part of the Mummy was opened was because He was forced to go through a process to release the soul of Mosius under the strong pressure of the angry gods?

This is very likely. After all, the standard process of "the challenger needs to visit the Nine Pillars Temple one by one and obtain the blessings of the gods" will inevitably have to fight Hercules in a different mythological system. Considering the overlapping myths in this world view, Troy is theoretically in North Africa, and in Greek mythology, Troy was actually conquered by Hercules long before the Helen incident, but this small achievement is only worthy of being mentioned in the legend of Hercules... A terrible idea suddenly appeared in Jiang Yu's head, which was finally working.

——Oh my God! Is it possible that in this world view with overlapping myths, Mosius and Hercules are really the same person!

——We are going to attack the Scorpion King, and we are really going to form a team to fight this Hercules alone!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu was not feeling well. Although he did have a feeling of eagerness to try in his heart, he did feel that the idea that came out of his mind was not good.

Not good, very not good.

And what's even worse is... Even if the second step of the task has been completed and the reward has been issued. Even if the reincarnations have entered the dark pyramid of Anubis. However, the third stage of the main line, the duel mission with the Scorpion King, has not been issued by the Lord God yet!

It was as if he was telling the reincarnationists - 'Young men, think carefully. If you give up the mission and run away now, at least your life will not slip away from your hands! '

And at this moment -

……………………

"Hmm?" Zheng Zha looked at his companion in confusion. He was a little surprised to find that his reliable comrade-in-arms was absent-minded after entering the Anubis Pyramid. Although his steps were still stable and his movements were still swift, he had a feeling that there was only a mess in Jiang Yu's head at this moment.

Why is it a mess? - I don't know.

What is in this mess - I don't understand.

The third-stage gene lock could not simulate Jiang Yu's thoughts at all at this moment. And Zheng Zha had to be bored and briefly scan the interior decoration of the black pyramid.

A little unexpected.

The interior of the Anubis Pyramid is not the same as that shown in the movie. In the movie, the interior of the pyramid is a huge and elaborate maze, and the challengers will strike a large gong with a scorpion pattern at the front door. Then, you can enter the weapon preparation room, and then go to the inner hall of the pyramid to face the ancient king whose lower body is completely scorpionized.

This is the normal process. Although the reincarnationists are stronger, there should not be much difference. However, in Zheng Zha's eyes at this moment, the interior of this pyramid is extremely empty.

There is no maze.

There are no numerous decorative statues.

The interior of the entire Anubis Pyramid is surprisingly shabby. In addition to a huge Anubis dog-headed statue, there is only a one-person-high scorpion-patterned bronze gong, which is placed alone in this empty inner hall.

Only the gong! There is no shadow in the weapon preparation room. Zhan Lan's mental power can finally be released after entering the pyramid, but the answer she gave can only make the reincarnationists question.

"There's nothing nearby?" Zhan Lan rubbed his forehead, with a look of disbelief. "There's only the statue and the gong in front of us... And the strange thing is, why haven't we been able to activate the third stage until now? Shouldn't this kind of thing be linked together?"

She didn't mention the Lord God directly, because the reincarnations were under the Temple of Anubis.

And the Lord God's hint was naturally revealed by the truly smart people in the team.

"That gong." Chu Xuan pushed his glasses. "By ringing that gong, we should be able to trigger the next step of this trial, which is also the last step of the battle. But... um."

He snorted softly.

"The owner of this temple doesn't seem to expect us to win... Everyone, get ready. Don't put all the props in the storage ring. It is possible that they are restricted from use."

Zheng Zha nodded, accepted Chu Xuan's advice, and then shifted his sight.

"Jiang Yu?"

"…………"Jiang Yu tilted his head slightly.

"I have a feeling... the Scorpion King may be even more powerful than we expected. I even suspect that he is the Hercules of this world... because the blessings bestowed upon us by the gods have not completely disappeared. And I really don't think that a cursed ancient king deserves the pomp and circumstance of the Nine Pillars of God surrounding him."

If the Indian team had not visited the Temple of Set, and if the reincarnationists had not made enemies with Set. Then this trial would still be run. The protection of the Nine Pillars would still be valid, which means that no matter what the identity of the person who finally visited this pyramid is, he will represent the will of the Nine Pillars of Egypt, or the nine most powerful gods on the entire planet.

The Nine Pillars of Egypt will visit the Temple of Anubis and defeat a monster in Anubis's hand. And if Anubis's divine affinity is not worse than Set, it can only prove that this monster is not an ordinary monster.

The reincarnationists looked at each other.

Then...

"That makes sense." Zheng Zha nodded, and then said: "But we have come here."

...Yes, we have come here.

Nine ren of the mountain, only one rudder is left.

Then...

"I just want to tell everyone that you should be prepared."

Jiang Yu walked in front of the bronze gong. His eyes swept across the faces of each companion.

No one retreated, no one hesitated.

Since the reincarnationists were willing to come in, they naturally didn't care whether they had to face Hercules or Mosasius. It was nothing more than a slightly bigger name. When the fight really started, the brave would naturally win in the end.

So, Jiang Yu punched.

'Dang--! ! !' A muffled sound.

And the next moment, the eyes of the huge statue of Anubis suddenly lit up!

——[Trigger a special mechanism...temporarily suppress the bloodline and enhanced attributes exchanged by the reincarnationists. Some high-tech creations stop running. 】

It was the Lord God who made the announcement, but it was Anubis who took action. Whether it was Jiang Yu and others in the temple, or Zero Point and Zhao Yingkong who were waiting and lurking outside the temple. The bloodline enhancement and attribute enhancement purchased directly from the Lord God were all suppressed to the bottom by the power of the gods at this moment!

It was just suppression, not erasure. Ordinary guns jammed directly, but the divine weapons shaped by the guardian's legacy can still play a role!

It was much better than expected.

However, the next moment, thick white fog rose from the feet of the reincarnationists!

The sound of shouting and killing came.

The warriors' roars and the friction of weapons!

When the fog cleared, the reincarnationists of the Zhongzhou team were shocked to find that they were on an ancient... no, on a towering city wall in legends and myths!

Behind them was a prosperous and classical city, and in front of them was a dense and orderly army like an ocean. The hot blood seemed to turn into substance and rushed straight into the sky, and on the city wall, there were also a large number of ancient warriors of their own!

Among the army, a particularly burly and majestic warrior with sharp eyes glared at the defenders on the city wall.

"Thebans! Surrender, or be destroyed!"

This is five thousand years ago!

This is Thebes attacked by the Scorpion King!
