Death is a topic that all humans cannot escape. Humans are born with a fear of death. Once humans develop self-awareness and also become aware of the people around them and the people in their living groups, they will have this fear of death because humans are social animals. The emergence of consciousness can be traced back to the early stages of species evolution. Danton described consciousness as "primitive emotion." It is this emotion that awakens a series of feelings in animals: when this emotion prompts animals to develop complex behaviors, the resulting hunger, thirst, and search for sexual partners are various states of consciousness.

Since the emergence of humans, the size of their brains has gradually increased during the evolution process, from 400 to 500 cubic centimeters in Australopithecus to 1400 cubic centimeters in Homo sapiens. Humans have since understood that others are people like themselves, and that all people will disappear one day. This awareness immediately triggered fear and anxiety about death in humans, because in the face of this sudden and incomprehensible phenomenon, humans are completely speechless... Therefore, people began to look for another form of survival in another world, in other words, they instinctively refused to accept death.

For the purpose of self-protection, human consciousness created various myths, imagining that human life will continue in the afterlife. In order to allow the dead to continue to live in the other world, human society has long appeared burial rituals, which can be seen in prehistoric relics in the Middle East and can be traced back to 100,000 years ago. The dead were buried in the cemetery, with the necessities for his life in the other world placed around him. There are also many such tombs found throughout the European continent (50,000 BC-30,000 BC). These burial rituals developed with language and writing when early human civilization emerged. Homo sapiens is the only animal that can use an articulated language, rather than communicate through roars and grunts, which allows them to pass on their learning, thoughts, and emotions from generation to generation.

The earliest record of death in human history is the legend of Gilgamesh, a king in Mesopotamia. He once believed that he was immortal, but after seeing his brothers disappear, he realized that he would die one day. Fearing death, he set out to find something that would give him immortality. After a long journey, he finally accepted the reality that he would die. The point emphasized by this legend is that humans cannot understand death by experiencing it themselves, but only understand it after witnessing the death of others. Then humans will anxiously discover that they will disappear completely one day, so they imagine that part of themselves - such as souls or spirits - can continue to exist after the body disappears.

Ancient Egyptian civilization intensified the human mentality of worshiping the dead, and the worship of dead pharaohs, queens, and dignitaries reached a peak. Every Egyptian had a cemetery after death, because they were guaranteed to survive in the afterlife, which was the original purpose of the mummification process to preserve the body. The long corridor leading to the tomb was decorated with murals telling the life and good deeds of the deceased, and the tomb was filled with various offerings for the deceased to use in the afterlife.

Most ancient Greeks and Romans believed in polytheism: the world under the ground was hell, and a terrible river, the Styx, separated hell from the world of the living. The sky above was the kingdom of the gods. The three monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam - also followed these legends and claimed that the body can be reborn, the soul is immortal, people who do good deeds in their lives can go to heaven after death, and those who do evil will be punished and fall into hell after death.

The theory of the Orientals is completely different, and I feel that I agree more with the Eastern theory than the monotheism. The latter believes that there is no only God, but only the ethics of harmonious life and the wisdom of the two great wise men - Confucius and Sakyamuni. These two wise men lived in the same period, the fifth to sixth century BC. In Eastern religions, the body will perish, but the soul will continue to be reborn through other bodies forever, which is called "reincarnation".

In short, no matter how you tame, distort, or even avoid it, there is one fact that cannot be concealed.

That is fear!

Atlantis is no exception.

They will die too.

But their souls do not belong to the Styx, but to the ocean.

This is the deal reached between Poseidon and Hades.

The people of Atlantis belong to the ocean.

They got life from the ocean, and naturally, their death also belongs to the ocean.

So in the Atlantean culture, they have no burial culture.

After they die, their souls will return to the ocean, and their bodies will be thrown into the abyss and become nutrients for the ocean, and then the ocean nourishes Atlantis and the thousands of creatures living in the ocean together.

It has always been like this.

But the Dark Trident broke this cycle.

The earliest holder of the Dark Trident was Triton. In mythology, he was the messenger of Poseidon, the son of Poseidon and Amphitrite. In the culture of Atlantis, he was always portrayed as a mermaid, with a human upper body but a fish tail. Like his father, he also carried a trident, but his unique appendage was a conch shell, which was used as a horn to raise or calm the waves and rivers. After Zeus destroyed the world, he calmed the flood with Poseidon. When he blew the conch shell hard, it was like the roar of a ferocious beast, and even the giants with divine power were moved.

In the mythology of Atlantis, Triton also has a very important position. He has always been placed in an important position in the temple. Right next to Poseidon, only below Amphitrite.

But whether it is official records or myths and legends, the description of his trident is very, very rare, as if it is just like an ordinary Atlantean warrior.

The trident is a very important symbol in the culture of the Atlanteans.

Any family with the conditions will prepare a trident for the child after he/she is born.

They may not use it, but they must have it.

From here, we can see how important this thing is, but such an important god has never been described with his trident.

Only the royal family and a very small number of nobles know the horror of this weapon.

According to legend, this trident is not the masterpiece of the god of fire, but forged by Hades, who is rarely mentioned.

Hades may be the most low-key god among all the Olympian gods, and the most unpopular god. Because he is always combined with death. There are only two most famous stories about him, one is the seizure of the seed goddess Persephone (that is, the Queen of the Underworld), and the other is "Orpheus and Eurydice", the unlucky guy who turned back in the process of returning to the world from the underworld...

This trident was made by Hades.

And the reason is the agreement between Hades and Poseidon.

The underworld does not accept Atlanteans.

So this trident is the so-called Trident of Death.

Its function is also very simple, Hades's main business. Control the dead souls.

But it is limited to the ocean.

Of course, myths are myths, and this thing is not feared by the Atlanteans.

What really frightened Atlantis was the last owner of this trident.

The great fame of this black trident itself comes from the ancestor-level "king" of Atlantis, the "King of Death" Atlan! Atlan was the king of Atlantis several centuries before the sinking of Atlantis, and was the greatest king in the history of Atlantis.

Under Atlantis's leadership, Atlantis became increasingly powerful and developed into seven different kingdoms. Atlan had a wife and a pair of children. As Atlantis developed, Atlan allowed foreigners to enter the country, and Atlanteans and non-Atlanteans began to intermarry. Atlan had a younger brother named Orin, who was an extreme nationalist and believed that it was a shame for Atlanteans to intermarry with other races. In the end, he killed Atlan's confidants and assassinated Atlan.

Atlan was injured and escaped, but his wife and children were killed by Orin. Orin and his wife usurped Atlan's throne.

The next is a very old-fashioned plot.

Atlan pursued the legendary artifact and finally found the Dark Trident, which was called the Scepter of Death.

Atlan returned to Atlantis with the artifact and killed Orin and his wife... But in the process, his revenge brought a little side effect, that is, countless dead were manipulated to resurrect, causing huge casualties to the entire Atlantis!

I don't know whether it was the effect of the Dark Trident or Atlan was too stimulated, which made him completely crazy. He didn't care at all and only wanted revenge.

This made this tragic king the biggest demon.

Then he was killed by a prince and the people of Atlantis... The funny thing is that this prince was the son of Orin.

Now the usurper has become a positive character... It can only be said that fate plays tricks on people.

And now the blood of the Kingdom of Atlantis and other kings comes from this prince.

Although such a nonsensical thing happened, the people still felt sorry for the king. After all, he was a qualified king at the beginning. Of course, his brother was not that bad, at least not bad to the people of Atlantis. It was just a little cruel to Atlan.

So everyone thought that the reason why Atlan became like this was actually because of the Dark Trident, which was an evil artifact.

In order to prevent anyone from using this evil artifact again... The Dark Trident said it was very bad, it was just a weapon... All the survivors unanimously decided to hide it and never spread its power, and even not mention Atlan and his experience. (The prince probably said this to defend his father, after all, his father was the one who was most responsible)

As a result, very few people know about the Dark Trident now.

And Orm happens to know, and also knows where it is.

…

"You can control the dead..." The Archangel was moved when he heard it.

After all, how could such a person not have played Warcraft or Resident Evil?

When I think about it, I am a little excited.

The Brotherhood lacks this kind of thing. They have few people, which is a fatal disadvantage. But if they have this thing, wouldn’t they be invincible? The dead don’t need supplies, wages, or logistics. Anyway, they can be replenished at any time if they are lost. Is there any better cannon fodder than this?

What’s more, the people they killed are also excellent soldiers.

The newly dead can be dragged to the battlefield while they are still warm!

Great!

But seeing Nick Fury’s half-smile expression, the Archangel immediately woke up.

Yes, since this thing is so powerful, once the Brotherhood gets it... I guess no country in the world can sit still. At that time, it is estimated that those major countries will clear their nuclear bomb stocks and let the Egyptian people suffer a little. The Brotherhood will bear the blame.

Everyone has a bright future.

What?

Why do you say the Brotherhood has to bear the blame... Damn! Don’t you watch the news?

There are also people who blow up their own hospitals!

It’s strange.

As for news, the pen is in your own hand, so you can write whatever you want.

The Egyptian people have become barbecued, who can refute it?

So the Archangel woke up from his dream immediately.

Nick Fury was right!

The Brotherhood went to find that thing, just to seek death!

"Besides, if it was really that easy to get, we would have done it long ago, why bother to cooperate with you?"

Nick Fury said disdainfully.

"Why? That place is dangerous?"

The Archangel asked solemnly.

"Of course!" Nick Fury said as a matter of course: "This terrible weapon, do you think the Atlanteans will not hide it well? In fact, even Orm doesn't know what kind of mechanism is hidden in the place where this weapon is hidden. Anyway, there are also crazy guys in history who have gone to find the Dark Trident, but according to Orm, those people never appeared again. And some of them took an army to find it, but they disappeared in the end. Think about how dangerous it is."

The Brotherhood can indeed find it.

But if there are too few people, it will be useless. If there are too many people, it will leak.

Then it will be the same.

In comparison, the little tyrants have it much easier. These people are very prestigious in many countries. They can handle it!
