Chapter 512: Hardcore Ruthless Man Steals the Boat
Egyptian mythology, a mythological system that is not well known in modern times, although specific details are rarely mentioned, many of its characters are famous, such as Anubis.
Many Egyptian gods often appear in games, but many people don't know they come from the Egyptian pantheon. But in fact, the best way to distinguish this type of character is to see if they have animal heads, or if they represent a natural phenomenon.
Egyptian gods are mainly divided into two categories: one is born from natural phenomena, such as the sun god, wind god, fire god, moon god, etc.; the other is animal gods, such as beetles, leopards, lions, vultures, etc.
In addition, the mummy, which is most well-known in Egypt, also has an inseparable relationship with Egyptian mythology. And Schiller also gained inspiration from the mummy's backstory, which is well-known to everyone, and then formulated this bold death plan.
Many people may have heard of mummies, and some have even seen mummies in museums, but in fact, this magical culture comes from the understanding of death in Egyptian mythology.
Ancient Egyptians believed that the body was just a container for storing the soul. After death, the soul travels to the Underworld under the influence of divine power, but they still have the opportunity to be resurrected. If the soul returns from the Underworld, it must have a good container to be resurrected.
So, in order to preserve the bodies of the dead, ancient Egyptians used various methods to make them into mummies, praying that when their souls returned from the other shore of the Underworld, they could be resurrected.
In terms of the understanding of death, the ancient Egyptian and Chinese civilizations, which are thousands of miles apart, have surprisingly similar points. They both believe that the dead will go to a magical world after death, and they will still be worshipped there, so the living must build luxurious tombs and offer burial objects to make them live better in that world.
So, there were the pyramids of the Egyptian pharaohs and the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.
However, Schiller, who is in Marvel, knows clearly that in this world, myths are not just myths, not just empty talk. There are real gods here, so there should also be an Underworld.
But he also knows clearly that this world has the existence of the five creation gods of death. All creatures must eventually go to the kingdom of death. If they want to be resurrected, they must borrow special power.
One relatively well-known example is the Valhalla possessed by Asgard. Asgardian gods will go to Valhalla after death and have the opportunity to be resurrected from Valhalla.
After asking Loki, Schiller learned that Odin can resurrect warriors with the help of Valhalla, precisely because death has reached a deal with him.
The slaughter and death caused by Odin's conquest of the universe are countless. Death doesn't mind him resurrecting a small part of people and then going to kill more people. And even so, Odin needs to consume a lot of energy to truly resurrect a god.
Then, what exactly do the Egyptian gods, who are not famous in the Nine Realms, rely on to resurrect their believers at will?
Schiller once asked Khonshu this question, but he didn't answer. Of course, Schiller also understood that Khonshu had no responsibility to answer every question for his believers. Therefore, he decided to explore the answer to this question himself.
However, the specific location of the Underworld cannot be found. If you want to enter, you must use special methods.
Schiller happened to know a method that could allow him to enter the Underworld, and that was to replicate the encounter of Moon Knight in the Moon Knight TV series.
In the Moon Knight TV series, Moon Knight's body was killed by Ammit's believer Arthur, so the two personalities in his body came to the Underworld and successfully left the Underworld, resurrecting from reality.
After the battle in the town, Schiller took away the scarab on Marc's chest during the gap when Marc switched personalities. During the journey from the town to the German-Austrian border, Schiller had already discovered that Arthur was awake, but he not only didn't expose Arthur, but also deliberately left the scarab he had taken from Marc on the seat.
Sure enough, after Arthur took the scarab, he used the power left by Ammit to go to the seal, released Ammit's seal, and let him out.
Ammit bestowed power upon Arthur, letting him take revenge on Schiller and Marc. And just when the purple thunderbolt composed of Ammit's power fell, Schiller withdrew all defenses, letting Ammit's divine power kill his flesh.
Actually, with the gray mist, Ammit's divine power was not enough to destroy Schiller's flesh, but Schiller let the gray mist slack off, simulating a state of fake death where heartbeat and breathing stopped, and by this, let the soul be drawn to the boat that Moon Knight came to in the show.
This part of the TV plot is also very interesting. Moon Knight, who has multiple personality disorder, had a weird dream after death. Marc dreamed that he came to a mental hospital. The attending doctor here was Arthur, who killed him. Arthur told him that he was actually a mental patient from beginning to end, and things like mercenary, archaeological team, etc., were all his fantasies when his illness broke out.
And what interests Schiller most is that in this spiritual world, Marc's two personalities appear as two different people, and when they come to the boat, they are also two people.
This is indeed a bit strange. If the Underworld is real, then Marc's soul that was guided over should only be one. Even if he split into two personalities, there should only be one soul. But instead, on the boat, there are two people, Marc and his other personality, Steven.
Based on this, Schiller inferred that this so-called Underworld should be similar to the dream kingdom in the DC world, a world connected to the human consciousness world.
Since Marc can bring his two personalities to board the boat, then according to reason, Schiller can also bring his countless personalities to board the boat, and this boat can sail in the dream world.
After listening to Schiller's narration, Marc's mood at this time was very complex. He took a deep breath, let it out, and then said: "I really don't know whether to say you have an inquiring spirit, or are completely crazy?"
"Just for a vague guess, you dared to let yourself die. Have you ever thought that if all this is just a fantasy produced by your mental illness, you would really be dead."
"Are you afraid of death?" Schiller asked.
"Aren't you?" Marc asked back. Suddenly he was stunned, and then said: "Oh, indeed, the KGB I've met are not afraid of death."
"Essentially, this is my confidence in my professional level. In terms of separation identity disorder, spiritual and consciousness world, dream, etc., my research level is still good."
While speaking, Schiller walked to the side of the boat. As the boat moved at full speed, the sand sea under the hull became thinner and thinner, and the skeleton heads surging up and down became fewer and fewer.
Marc reached out, raised his head and looked around the sky. He found that the originally clear and bright starry sky began to become a bit blurry. The breeze brushed his fingertips, and what also passed through his fingertips was the faint white mist.
Marc turned his head urgently, and then he saw the huge bow of the boat facing the thick white mist, like a sharp sword cutting through a piece of white jade. The hull wrapped in thick mist floated on the sea of clouds. Marc lowered his head and looked under the boat. There was no sand sea below, but nothing. The whole boat seemed to be floating in the air.
"Woo—woo—"
The low horn was blown, the mast rang, the sails were in place, Marc saw the layers of sails being blown full by the invisible wind, the full arc like several rising new moons.
He walked up and asked Schiller: "Where are you going to drive it?"
"I'm going to pick up a friend of mine, and then take him to see the scenery outside the dreams of ordinary people." Schiller smiled, and then said.
"Then what about resurrection? Don't you want to resurrect?" Marc obviously couldn't accept the fact that he was already dead. He appeared very impatient, full of worry between his eyebrows.
"You said it yourself, KGB are not afraid of death." Schiller turned to look at him. Marc was very angry. He just wanted to speak, when he saw the young Schiller slowly raising the umbrella knife behind the white-coated Schiller.
Schiller asked with a smile: "Are you afraid of death now?"
Looking at the cold light on the blade of the umbrella knife, Marc swallowed, took a step back, and then shook his head hard.
The big boat sailed in the white mist. The scenery around remained completely unchanged, so it was impossible to judge how fast the boat was flying. Jake and Schiller stood at the bow together. Jake asked: "What name do you plan to call this boat?"
"Flying God, what do you think?"
"Not good, it's better to just call it Flying. Why do you have to bring God?"
"I... oh, we are here." Schiller just wanted to answer Jake's question, when he saw the shadow of the building in the thick fog. He turned back to order the crew Schiller to lower the sails, letting the huge boat descend slowly.
As the boat fell, the shadow of the building became clearer and clearer. The first thing that appeared in the field of vision was the Gothic spire. Looking down, one could see that it seemed to be a British school?
Charles, standing at the gate of the dream school, opened his mouth wide, watching the huge boat shadow slowly descend.
Just a few minutes ago, he was still wondering in his office in the real world why Schiller called him to enter the dream now, and now, Charles knew, because he had already seen Schiller standing at the bow.
After that boat landed, it was even bigger than what Charles saw in the air, and even bigger than any boat he had ever seen. It couldn't be called a sailing boat anymore, it should be said to be a flying aircraft carrier wearing a sailing boat's coat.
"My God, what is this?! Did I see it wrong? Is that the sun pattern in the Egyptian tomb??"
"Professor, you deserve to be you. You are the most knowledgeable person I have ever seen." Schiller walked off the boat, shook hands with Charles, and praised sincerely.
"After the Tower of Babel, you built an Egyptian boat in your dream again?" Charles asked puzzled: "But why do you want to do this? Are your personalities finally unable to live in it?"
"You misunderstood." Schiller turned to look at the boat, and then turned back, saying to Charles: "This was not built by me, I don't have such skills. The story is very complex, but in short..."
Schiller turned back, pointed at the boat, and said firmly: "This is a gift from nature."
"Okay, I understand, you don't have to say it." Charles said immediately. Obviously, in the process of working with these people in the Radiant Alliance, he also knew what style these people were. Asking too much had the risk of lowering his moral bottom line.
"Then, what do you want to do when you come to find me?" Charles asked.
"Professor, since many young mutants went to the Andromeda Galaxy for cosmic colonial development, because the distance is too far, it is difficult to let them come back for class, right?"
Hearing Schiller mention this question, Charles nodded and said somewhat helplessly: "Although I can contact them here, I can't let their consciousness return here for class."
"I said before, the so-called heart connection is actually related to brain waves, and brain waves must be limited by physical distance. If I am too far away from them in physical distance, the signal will be bad." ===== CHAPTER 513 =====
