Chapter 512: Hardcore Ruthless Man Steals Boat Plan

Egyptian mythology, a mythological system that is no longer well known in modern times. Although specific details are rarely mentioned, many of the 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., and 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 the Egyptian mythological system. 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 the Egyptian mythological system.

Ancient Egyptians believed that the body was just a container for storing the soul. After death, the soul was affected by divine power and went to the Underworld, but they still had the opportunity to be resurrected. If the soul returned from the Underworld, it must have a good container to be resurrected.

Therefore, 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 understanding death, the ancient Egyptian and Chinese civilizations, which were separated by thousands of miles, had very strange similarities. They both believed that the dead would go to a magical world after death, and there they would still be worshipped, so the living must build luxurious tombs for them and offer burial objects so that they could live better in that world.

Therefore, there were the pyramids of Egyptian pharaohs and the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.

However, Schiller, who was in Marvel, knew clearly that in this world, mythology was not just mythology, not just empty talk. There were real gods here, so there should also be an Underworld.

But he also knew clearly that this world had the existence of the five creation gods of death. All creatures eventually had to go to the kingdom of death. If they wanted to be resurrected, they must borrow special power.

One relatively well-known example is the Valhalla possessed by Asgard. Asgardian gods would go to Valhalla after death and had the possibility of being resurrected from Valhalla.

After asking Loki, Schiller learned that Odin could resurrect warriors with the help of Valhalla precisely because death reached a deal with him.

The slaughter and death caused by Odin's conquest of the universe were countless. Death didn't mind him resurrecting a small part of people and then going to kill more people. And even so, Odin needed to consume a lot of energy to truly resurrect a god.

Then, what exactly did the Egyptian gods, who were not famous in the Nine Realms, rely on to resurrect their believers at will?

Schiller had asked Khonshu this question, but he didn't answer. Of course, Schiller also understood that Khonshu had no responsibility to answer every question for believers. Therefore, he decided to explore the answer to this question himself.

However, where the Underworld was specifically could not be found. If he wanted to go in, he must use a special method.

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 the scarab from Marc during the gap when he switched personalities. On the way 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 previously 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 and lifted Ammit's seal, releasing him.

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 physical body.

In fact, with the gray mist, Ammit's divine power was not enough to destroy Schiller's physical body, but Schiller let the gray mist release water, simulating a fake death state where heartbeat and breathing stopped, and by this, let the soul be drawn to the boat that Moon Knight came to in the play.

This part of the TV plot was also very interesting. The Moon Knight with personality splitting had an eerie dream after death. Marc dreamed that he came to a psychiatric hospital. The attending doctor here was Arthur who killed him. Arthur told him that in fact, he had always been a mental patient, and things like mercenary, archaeological team, etc., were all his fantasies when his illness broke out.

And what interested Schiller most was that in this spiritual world, Marc's two personalities appeared as two different people, and when they came to the boat, they were also two people.

This was indeed a bit strange. If the Underworld was real, then the soul of Marc who was guided over should only be one. Even if he split into two personalities, there should only be one soul. But unexpectedly, on the boat, there were 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 could board the boat with his two personalities, then according to reason, Schiller could also board the boat with his countless personalities, and this boat could sail in the dream world.

After listening to Schiller's narration, Marc's mood was very complicated. He took a deep breath, let it out, and then said, "I really don't know whether to say you have a spirit of inquiry or are completely crazy?"

"Just for a vague guess, you dared to let yourself die. Have you ever thought that if all this was 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 aspects like separation identity disorder, spiritual and consciousness world, dream world, etc., my research level is still quite good."

While speaking, Schiller walked to the side of the boat. As the boat moved forward at full speed, the sand sea under the boat became thinner and thinner, and the skulls rolling up and down became fewer and fewer.

Marc stretched out his hand, raised his head and looked around the sky. He found that the originally clear and bright starry sky began to become somewhat hazy. The breeze brushed his fingertips, and what also passed through his fingertips was the white mist that could not be seen.

Marc turned his head hurriedly, and then he saw the huge bow facing the thick white mist, like a sharp sword cutting a piece of white jade. The boat body surrounded by thick mist seemed to float on the sea of clouds. Marc lowered his head and looked under the boat. There was nothing under it, and the whole boat seemed to float in the air.

"Woo—woo—"

The low horn was blown, the mast sounded lightly, the sails were in place, Marc saw that the layers of sails were blown full by the invisible wind, and the full arc was like several rising new moons.

He walked forward and asked Schiller, "Where are you going to drive it?"

"If I guessed correctly, after their exchange, that goddess should take us to her former hometown."

"Former hometown, she is a hippo, is she going back to the African savanna?" Marc sneered and said.

The voices of Schiller and the Hippo Goddess sounded simultaneously inside and outside the cabin: "... If you have heard of Egyptian mythology, then you should have some understanding of the heavenly realm. It is lush with water and grass, full of vitality, and inhabited by countless ancient gods, but it is not as calm as it looks on the surface..."

The sails were raised again, and the giant ship sailed into the thick white mist. After the last shadow disappeared into the hazy white mist, the mist began to gather, condensing into tiny raindrops, floating down from the sky. In the real world, the night rain still hadn't stopped.

At the moment the blood gushed out, no one at the scene realized the seriousness of the problem until Schiller's corpse fell to the ground. In Iron Man's battle suit, a voice slightly different from Jarvis sounded:

"Locking target status scanning... scan complete... target is dead... lock released..."

"Lock again, scan again." Stark said.

"Locking... lock complete status... scanning... scan complete... target is dead... lock released..."

"Scan again!"

"Sir, the scan result error rate does not exceed 0.002%. If there is a need to reduce the extreme error rate, higher output can be provided for the scanning equipment..."

"Set output to maximum!"

The magic energy source on the chest of the steel battle suit lit up with dazzling light, like a lighthouse in the rainy night, but this light only maintained for a moment before slowly dimming. Everyone was watching Stark, and he walked toward Schiller's corpse somewhat stiffly.

It was not difficult to judge that it was indeed a corpse, because almost the entire chest cavity together with the heart had disappeared, there were scorched marks near the wound, no pulse, no heartbeat, no breathing, the whole body's blood had stopped flowing, and the body temperature was gradually losing.

Iron Man squatted down halfway. He touched Schiller's arm with his finger. The data sent back by the sensor had no surprises. Like the conclusion of the high-power scan just now, this was a corpse, and there was no possibility of anything else.

"Professor, as expected of you, you are the most discerning person I have ever met." Schiller walked down from the ship, shook hands with Charles, and praised him sincerely.

After he walked over, he also knelt halfway beside Schiller's corpse, but his movements were not as careful as Stark's. Strange directly patted Schiller's shoulder, but the moment he touched his shoulder, Strange was stunned.

Afterward, he showed a somewhat flustered expression, and then put his hand on Schiller's forehead. Magic light flashed on his hand, but just like the energy source on Stark's chest just now, this light quickly extinguished, and Strange stayed there.

"His soul... the soul is gone!

!" Strange shouted anxiously: "I don't know what kind of ghost he is playing, now lying here is just a corpse, and his soul doesn't know where it went..."

(Note: This line is a website name, not part of the narrative)

"Hahahaha!

!" A series of laughter came. Arthur, holding the scepter with both hands, laughed loudly. His long hair was soaked by the rain, sticking tightly to his face, and purple light flashed in his eyes, like an evil ghost crawling up from hell.

"You group of stupid ordinary people! Physical death, soul disappearance, what else can it mean? Of course, it means he is already dead!"
