"Please, great Ra..."
Carina's voice of prayer was shattered and desperate, "Guide us to the eternal shore."
The dagger was raised high, flashing cold light. Other priests made the same motion, pointing the sharp tip at their hearts. At this critical moment.
Ian also did not act.
Yet.
"Boom——!!!"
A sudden mutation occurred!
The sky was suddenly torn apart.
It wasn't a physical tear, but an opening on some dimensional level. The twisted sky was torn open like ragged cloth by invisible hands, and the sky that was twisted into a gigantic diseased eye by the Evil God was like fragile glass, pierced by a pure, warm, and holy white beam of light, as if wielded by a Divine Sword cleaving the heavens and the earth!
It enveloped the entire high platform area where Carina was located with precision!
Within the beam of light, a figure slowly descended. She was dressed in a complex and magnificent gown, wearing a double crown symbolizing the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, with two tall ostrich feathers inserted on the crown. Her face was a perfect blend of maternal kindness and divine majesty, and she emanated a soft but incredibly resilient green-gold light.
Wherever the light passed, the sticky purple-red radiance of the Evil God melted away like snow.
Isis.
Isis was Osiris' wife, Horus' mother.
The divine spirit finally manifested, and she was also one of the most revered goddesses in Ancient Egypt. Known for being the goddess of motherhood and magic, she was famous for her powerful magic ability and as a guardian.
"Your Majesty, Isis..."
Carina murmured, as the dagger in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.
The goddess descended into the Human World.
She didn't speak but simply raised her hand gently, palm facing upwards.
A vast and unstoppable green wave full of life energy radiated from her, like a gentle tide, sweeping through the entire city assimilated by the Evil God in an instant!
Witnessing.
Those civilians whose bodies were mutating, growing tumors and tentacles, their expressions of pain instantly relaxed.
The writhing flesh on their bodies quickly calmed down and faded, the skin returning to normal human hues, and the madness and emptiness in their eyes were replaced by bewilderment and the relief of salvation.
The wizards who had fallen into madness and were on the verge of self-harm, whose faces were stained with blood tears, saw the redness in their eyes retreat, and their chaotic mental barriers were rebuilt and stabilized in the green light.
They collapsed to the ground, gasping for air, like drowning people regaining breath. Though extremely weak, they at least regained their human shapes, a stroke of fortune within misfortune.
The faint gold light at Carina's fingertips, which was about to bring self-destruction, instead of extinguishing when touched by Isis' green light, flared up brightly like kindling ignited! That light was no longer desperation's self-destroying but filled with gratitude for salvation and the fervor of rekindled faith! The divine power in her hands and those of all the priests received purification and revival under the blessing of Isis, the "Goddess of Life and Magic!"
"Huh? This Divine Authority." Ian's crow-like eyes flickered with a hint of surprise. He could sense the essence of this healing power—it wasn't merely a restorative spell but some conceptual "reversal," negating and eradicating the "mutation" imposed by the Evil God. This power level far exceeded ordinary magic.
Indeed, it was powerful enough, and divine art had its merits. Keep in mind, this goddess could even revive the gods; reversing the evil god's influence was not a challenge.
Just as Isis' healing light had not entirely dissipated,
space underwent intense distortion once more.
A pitch-black fissure opened at the center of the plaza, and from it poured the cold water of the Nether River. Accompanied by the sound of flowing water, a towering figure slowly rose from the fissure.
His skin was a dark blue-black shade, crowned with a white crown, holding a crook and scythe—Pluton Osiris himself. The mighty master of Ancient Egypt, second only to the Sun God Ra.
