Godslayer: A random filename extension?
Chapter 256 Nephthys is plotting a rebellion.
The perspective shifts to the battlefield between Wen Qimo and Nephthys.
At this moment, the scenery in this area resembled an endless, desolate desert.
However, in this desert, there are countless tombstones, as well as exposed and scattered bones or mummies.
Whenever Wen Qimo walks by, ghosts or zombies always launch surprise attacks on her, using various methods and bringing with them the memories of the other party's entire life.
One or two would be fine; with Wen Qimo's current level of strength, he could completely ignore them. At the same time, he could also wipe out those enemies with a wave of his hand.
But the difficulty lies in the fact that these enemies are endless.
“The souls that return from past lives are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, endlessly departing and inexhaustibly returning.”
"At the end of the path of all living beings, nothing more than this, ultimately nothing more than sleeping on the desert of death..."
Nephthys's voice echoed in Wen Qimo's ears from time to time, and together with the thoughts of the endless creatures, it tempted her that if she felt that life was bitter and tiring, she might as well sleep peacefully.
Wen Qimo remained silent, focusing solely on killing.
One, ten, a thousand, ten million...
A moment, a day, a year, a hundred or a thousand years...
The sense of time in this space seemed to be distorted to the extreme, to the point that Wen Qimo could no longer remember how long he had been killing.
As the Egyptian goddess of the dead, Nephthys's abilities seemed to undergo a tremendous transformation after her husband, the god of the underworld, perished completely, and she regained her full power and was empowered by the sun god.
All the dead in the history of the Egyptian divine kingdom can be used by her to create an impact on enemies in this realm.
This includes not only humans or deceased divine servants, but also birds and beasts.
Therefore, even Wen Qimo, who had reached the strength of a quasi-supreme god, gradually lost ground in this war of attrition.
Fortunately, her raging fire could burn away all the dark energy, and her laws could purify and protect the mind, which is why there was no sign of defeat.
"What a powerful soul! The weariness of all living beings cannot make you feel tired?"
However, even the greatest power has its limits. When Wen Qimo slayed a certain number of souls in the domain, the world gradually faded, and the desert, tombstones, skeletons, and mummies all vanished.
Nephthys's figure reappeared before Wen Qimo's eyes.
She had to withdraw her domain of the Law of the Dead; otherwise, if she continued, her divine status would be damaged, and the other party might be forced into a desperate counterattack.
Mutual destruction or mutual annihilation is not the goal of this protracted war.
Wen Qimo's condition was naturally not good either. She felt a headache coming on and tried her best to forget and erase everything that had happened before.
At the same time, their own strength is also running low, and it is clear that they have basically lost the ability to support other battlefields.
"Ha, what do I care about the suffering of the Egyptian people?"
Wen Qimo said that even if he watched their suffering of life and death again, he would not feel much.
She's not that sentimental.
"I'm actually curious why you don't hate me, after all, your father and husband both died at my hands."
During the clash of their domains, Wen Qimo also wanted to use their own methods against them, such as using her own power to suppress their emotions.
Logically speaking, hatred is the easiest emotion to be aroused, especially when one has a blood feud with the other party for killing their husband and father.
However, the actual situation left Wen Qimo somewhat troubled and puzzled, as the other party did not show any emotional fluctuations in this regard from beginning to end.
Are all the gods in the Egyptian kingdom so cold-blooded?
Moreover, Wen Qimo could also sense that the other party was not good at controlling or concealing their mental activity; there was simply no feedback in that regard.
Nephthys simply shook her head upon hearing this.
"All living beings must pass away, and even the gods are not eternal. I guard the dead, and have witnessed the suffering of all living beings. I mourn for the departed, but I do not bear the hatred of the deceased..."
Nephthys felt sadness at the loss of her father and husband, but not so intensely, as a god and an invading force.
If you die on the battlefield because of this incident, and then hold a grudge against the so-called murderer.
Isn't that just being completely unreasonable?
Nephthys was not an unreasonable and domineering goddess; on the contrary, as the guardian of the dead, she was a very gentle deity.
However, being gentle does not mean being weak.
Another reason is that, in the Egyptian divine kingdom, the relationship between husband and wife is not as eternal as that between the two parties in the Great Xia divine kingdom.
Often, even goddesses tend to be merely appendages to male gods, existing only to prove and highlight their strength.
In normal times, despite their supposed equal status, their voice is extremely weak.
Just like in the previous invasion, they were given the tough and tiring tasks such as resisting bombs.
However, in a battle to divide the spoils, not a single goddess was among the armies that had previously gone to war against the gods.
Moreover, especially for the original deities like them, their so-called love partners were simply marriages arranged by fate with no other choice.
Isn't it the same now? If the plan goes smoothly, after this battle, she will return to Egypt and, for the sake of the stability of the Egyptian kingdom, welcome her new husband. No one will object to this.
This divine relationship is less a result of deep affection between husband and wife, and more a destiny and responsibility that is difficult to escape.
Her grief stemmed more from the sense of loss and vulnerability that came with the deaths of her colleagues and family patrons.
"Tsk, that's interesting. I see now. So you two are actually not getting along? I've actually done you a big favor?"
"But isn't there a lot of information in what you just said?"
Wen Qimo almost laughed. He hadn't expected that this was the reason why the other party didn't hate him at all.
However, Nephthys seemed so confident that the plan would go smoothly that she involuntarily leaked some key information.
And she didn't care about her slip of the tongue.
"Although the battle is over, this place is still my territory, and you cannot send any information out here."
"After this battle, the Egyptian kingdom will completely close itself off for a long time to recuperate, so I'm not afraid for you to know the specific plans of our trip..."
The other party seemed to be having a smooth ride, and although there was nothing wrong with what they said and their behavior was very logical.
But Wen Qimo always had a feeling that this Egyptian goddess was deliberately revealing these messages to him.
If this conjecture is true, then things get interesting. It seems that the Egyptian kingdom is not a monolithic entity.
At least some of the gods actually have "rebellious intentions".
