Originally, the three of them were going to challenge the level. This kind of question that requires thinking as soon as you hear it, naturally let Thoth go, and Thoth also showed full confidence.
"I don't exist in the past, but I will always exist in the future. No one has ever seen me, and it will be the same in the future. All living things have their hopes in me. What am I?" Just one question.
As a result, Thoth went to answer the question, and he got it wrong three times in a row!
Almost killed the three of them.
The first time, Thoth answered "order".
Wrong, Sphinx slapped Horus away with one claw.
The second time, Thoth was still confident and answered: "purity".
The result was wrong, and Kai was slapped away!
The third time, Thoth didn't remember it when the time was up, and he was slapped away himself.
If they continue like this, not to mention finding the source of Set's power, the three of them will either be swallowed by the quicksand or killed by the Sphinx.
There is no other way. In order to ensure that Thoth can give the final answer, Horus and Kai act as meat shields and let the Sphinx beat them very badly!
Finally, Thoth finally gave the answer...
Tomorrow!
The answer is correct.
Three people
In fact, Kai has no idea why this thing is tomorrow. Kai is not very good at guessing riddles. However, Kai has heard of the Sphinx, and he heard about it before he crossed over. Because there are also stories about the Sphinx in ancient Greek mythology. There is no other way. When Kai was a child in his previous life, the myths of ancient Greece were widely circulated, at least much more widely circulated than Norse mythology.
Kai remembers that at that time, there was a cartoon of Hercules, which was played by the Little Dragon Club.
The Sphinx was widely distributed at that time. It was not only in Egypt, but also in ancient Greece. At the same time, the legend of the Sphinx was also circulated in West Asia. The Asian Sphinx added wings, and then the female Sphinx appeared. The Assyrians and Persians described the Sphinx as a winged bull with a human face, a beard, and a crown.
In Greek mythology, the Sphinx is a female demon with a lion's body and a human face and wings, one of the daughters of the giant Typhon and the serpent monster Echidna. Although the Sphinx patterns in ancient Egypt and ancient Greece in different periods are different in expression, they are all human-animal combinations composed of humans, lions, bulls, and eagles.
In Greek mythology, the Sphinx became a female evil thing, representing the punishment of God. "Sphinx" comes from the Greek word "Sphiggein", which means "tighten", because the Greeks imagined the Sphinx as a monster that would strangle people to death. Legend has it that the Queen of Heaven Hera sent the Sphinx to sit on the cliff road near the city of Thebes and ask passers-by a riddle. The riddle was: What animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night? The answer to the riddle is "human". Morning, noon, and evening refer to childhood, middle age, and old age of a person respectively. Legend has it that this riddle was later answered by the young Greek Oedipus, and the Sphinx jumped off the cliff to commit suicide (some say it was killed by Oedipus). According to Apollodorus, the Sphinx was born to Echidna and her son, the two-headed dog Otysius. The human face of the Sphinx symbolizes wisdom and knowledge.
Regarding this matter, Kay and Horus had a lot of opinions about Thoth.
Originally, Kay and Horus could not answer such a difficult question at all. If they simply answered it wrong, it would be fine. After all, who doesn't have a chance to fail?
But the problem is, when Kai and Horus went to find him, this grandson was full of confidence, and with his foul mouth, he actually belittled them both... You are so smart, I admit it! But why do you look down on us?
In fact, the whole plan was made by Thoth. But along the way, Horus and Kai were all hard laborers, and this guy was foul-mouthed and hypocritical. He made no contribution except screaming along the way.
Finally encountered the Sphinx, it was his turn to perform.
What was the result?
Kai and Horus got beaten.
The most important thing is that this damn plan failed.
Set had known that someone would come up with this idea, and the desert prison was a cover from beginning to end. His divine fire was indeed placed there, but it was a bait in itself, and there were very sophisticated mechanisms around it.
The reason why there was quicksand and Sphinx outside was so tight.
It was just to let them relax their vigilance when entering the temple.
So the three were killed in one pot.
Thoth's grandson was taken away by Set from his artifact - Thoth's brain.
As for Kai and Horus, they were thrown into the underworld...if it weren't for their good luck and the self-sacrifice of the goddess of beauty.
The goddess of beauty Hathor is one of the most important gods in ancient Egypt. Legend has it that she is the last daughter of the sun god Ra. As the sun god Ra was old, people began to neglect the king of gods, which made Ra very unhappy. So he decided to put the "eye of God" symbolizing the majesty and burning power of the sun in Hathor's body, so that she could destroy these profit-seeking villains. After Hathor got the "eye of God", she transformed into the tyrannical female war goddess Hathor and began to kill these people. The world suddenly became a river of blood. After seeing that the number of dead and wounded was enough, Ra tried to stop her. In order to stop Hathor from killing humans, Ra used wine made from pomegranates to irrigate the earth. The bloodthirsty Hathor mistakenly thought that the bright red pomegranate wine was blood, so she drank it drunk, stopped the atrocities, and returned to the beautiful goddess Hathor. Later, drinking beer and red pomegranate juice also became part of the activities of worshiping the goddess Hathor.
In addition, there is a close connection between the goddess Hathor and the goddess of the sky Nut. Nut was seen as the creator and mother of the universe, while Hathor was seen as one of Nut's incarnations. This association emphasizes the importance of Hathor as a force of fertility and motherhood.
Hathor was also associated with death and the underworld. She was seen as the queen of the underworld, able to protect and guide the souls of the dead. She played an important role in the funeral ceremonies of ancient Egypt, and her image and name were used to pray for happiness and peace in the afterlife.
But she was unwilling to go to the underworld, because once the gods entered the underworld, they could never return to reality. Except for the sun god Ra, who had the power to bring others back from the underworld, no other gods had this authority.
But the underworld always wanted to return its queen to where she should be, and always wanted to find her.
So Horus and Hathor asked Ra together to let her stay in reality. Ra agreed to their request and made a golden bracelet for Hathor. As long as she wore it, the underworld and death could not find Hathor.
As long as she took off the bracelet, she would be taken away immediately.
In order to save Kay and Horus, Hathor summoned Anubis. Anubis came to the world immediately after hearing Hathor's voice, but she was wearing a golden bracelet and he couldn't take the goddess away. So Hathor and Anubis made a deal.
She asked Anubis to put Kay and Horus back, and she took off the bracelet.
Because Kay and Horus were not dead, they were just thrown into the underworld by Set. Logically, they could leave the underworld. But they were in the underworld, and people who went to the underworld could not come back, so it became a bug.
The gods in the underworld were unwilling to take care of them, but they were also unwilling to let them go.
But if it was Hathor, then they could let them go, after all, they were living people. Letting them go was not a violation.
So the deal was reached.
Hathor went to the underworld, and Kay and Horus returned to the world.
Of course, things were completed successfully later. Horus and Set had the final battle, defeated Set, and fished the sun god out of the Styx. Ra was resurrected immediately, and then Ra went to the underworld to release Hathor.
A perfect ending.
But from beginning to end, Thoth did not contribute at all, and almost made them all die together.
His contribution was negative!
Especially Horus was very annoyed with Thoth. He always said that Thoth's brain was actually good with Set, at least an idiot would not talk all day long.
Kai didn't know what happened later, he left.
It's just that Thoth owed Kai, this is beyond doubt.
You know, at the beginning, Thoth answered wrong three times, and it was Kai and Horus who resisted. If they hadn't been meat buns, he would have been beaten to death.
...
"My friend! It's really you! Oh, my God, I thought you were gone a long time ago."
Thoth did not refuse the invitation to the banquet.
The moment he saw Kai, he immediately hugged Kai passionately... so hard that Kai was almost suffocated.
"Those things are in the past, you must never tell them!" Kai heard Thoth whispering.
This is Thoth's dark history. This guy thinks highly of himself and has always claimed to be the savior of Horus. It is said that this guy also changed the original story without authorization, describing himself as a wise man who saved Horus.
By the way, Kai also has a role in this story.
However, he set Kai as a stupid human who knows nothing and can only drag his feet. It's just that he is lucky to be able to adventure with the two gods.
In his version, it was he who answered the Sphinx's question correctly, allowing them to extinguish Set's desert fire, and then Horus could defeat Set in the final duel...
I don't know how much benefit Horus received, but he actually acquiesced to this version.
So no one knows Thoth's embarrassing appearance at the time.
Especially after this guy's head was removed, he became another idiot, which made a lot of jokes at the time. Egyptian gods all have their own artifacts, which are symbols of their power. If they are taken away from their artifacts, they will not die, but they will lose their power and become useless.
It’s okay for Thoth to have his brain removed, he will just become an idiot.
The kind that can’t control their bowels and bladders… It’s a common practice to put their own poop into their mouths.
For Thoth, this is a complete black history.
He didn’t expect that after so many years, he could still see the person involved.
“I’m glad to see you again!”
Kai emphasized word by word.
He didn't want to spread the dark history of this grandson, after all, he needed help.
"Friend! How did you become like this? You are nothing like before." Thoth asked immediately.
In short, it was obvious that he didn't want Kai to say something he shouldn't say.
"Well, after some things happened, I fell asleep for a long, long time, and just woke up recently." Kai didn't say much, there was no need.
"Okay, okay, everyone has their own secrets. Although I am very interested in what happened to you, you know, I like secrets the most, and I like wonderful stories more. But who makes us friends? I can not ask."
In addition to being the god of wisdom, Thoth is also the inventor of writing (ancient Egyptian writing). At the same time, he is also the secretary of the gods, recording all related things, a bit like a historian, but he likes to inquire about some little secrets very much, and he also likes to secretly write down these little secrets... This is also one of the reasons why everyone doesn't like him very much.
Who likes to play with a wife and gossip?
After a while of greeting, Thoth took the initiative to ask about business.
"So, what do you want me to do? I know about your little things with Zeus. You risked so much to go to the City of the Almighty. You wouldn't just come to me to reminisce about the past, right?"
As a gossip, this guy knew the grudge between Kai and Zeus very well.
So he didn't think Kai came to see him specially. After all, he didn't have to come to the City of the Almighty to see him. He could go directly to the headquarters of their pantheon. He would naturally rush over when he got the news. He didn't need to risk being discovered by Zeus and run to the City of the Almighty to see him.
Their relationship was not that serious.
"Yes, we came here to seek answers, so I hope to enter the Temple of the Omniscience! There are the secrets I want there."
Kai also directly stated his purpose.
"The Temple of the Omniscience... Well, this is not a good idea. It will take a lot of time to rebuild the temple."
Thoth's words made Kai's heart tighten. Did he really have to go to Zeus?
No?
But then Thoth said: "But you can ask me directly! All the knowledge of the Temple of the Omniscience is in my head!"
Do you know how annoying this guy is?
But this guy might be really good. Thoth has always been proud of his wisdom, but in fact, Kai has always felt that he has definitely chosen the wrong priesthood. He has no wisdom at all. Anyway, Kai doesn't think he is that smart.
But this guy is indeed knowledgeable and has a strong memory. He is indeed very knowledgeable. His brain can remember everything he has seen and heard. He will never forget it.
It's like a computer that records information all the time.
Very strong!
"I want to know about the matter of the God Slayer Gel. He has set his sights on the earth. What is there on the earth that is worth his attention? Also, why is he looking for the Eternal Altar? What is there in the Eternal Altar?"
"Huh?" Thoth was immediately interested when he heard it.
"Interesting, Gel, this madman, has set his sights on the earth? Interesting, interesting." Thoth likes this kind of unexpected question.
"Let me think about it, let me think about it, the earth... the earth..." Thoth touched his chin and began to search for knowledge about the earth.
Then Kai and others saw that this guy's face was getting uglier and uglier.
It doesn't look good!
