Then, in Xia Li's sight, Novia smiled happily. "The age of the gods is long over, Osiris." 011: The Age of Gods and Men This other Library of Alexandria seems to have been forgotten by time. This relic has existed for more than hundreds of years, sleeping in the lightless darkness, never changing. It can be said that the technology of the Atlas Academy in the Age of Gods was so outstanding. Now, change has happened. This room, located on the last floor and where the coffins are placed, had very small changes at first. It's sand, one grain, two grains. The sand gradually emerged, and then the number increased. Ten, twenty, one hundred, two hundred, one thousand. Countless sands filled the room as if it had turned into a desert.
Presumably, this is a fragment of power that comes with the remains of Osiris. Even the power of the fragment is comparable to the highest level of barrier magic. Novia had just stood in front of Osiris' body, but now she was standing as if a huge sun was about to disappear at the end of the desert horizon, and then, as if leaning against the sun, the majestic river flowed by. The coexistence of the boundless sea of sand and the bountiful river water is the reason why ancient civilization sprouted on this land. In the past, such a cruel land also needed a powerful god, otherwise people would not be able to survive in such a harsh environment. He was revered as the king of gods, but was assassinated by his brother. Even so, countless people worshipped him until the end of the Age of Gods. Although he was regarded as the god of the underworld, he symbolized people's hope for eternal glory after death. So the essence has not changed, he has always been there. "oh........ The body of Osiris, which was originally like a machine, suddenly squinted and looked at Novia, as if those eyes were looking at something strange. "You mean, the era of God is over? Ah, yes, it is over, and I am indeed dead." As if recalling these words, Osiris smiled as he stood in the strong sunlight with the sun flames rising all around him. His humanoid body suddenly leaned forward and stretched out his hand, thrusting it into the sand as if to lift Novia up. "I was killed by my brother Set, locked in a coffin, cut into fourteen pieces, and thrown into the Nile. Was I sad? No, on the contrary, I was very happy." "you......." Novia correctly caught it with his sword, but the bones in his shoulder were wailing. The direct attack seemed to shake the power of space. After a moment, the pressure around him was released. Even Shiali at the side almost couldn't help but end the binding formula immediately. At the same time, he was also very confused. It was clear that this divine body Osiris had no consciousness at all. It was just a divine body given to Ergo, and it didn't even have any abilities. But now, it actually spoke? ! And he even said that he was happy to be killed by his own brother? This is totally different from the loving image in the legend. When the divine body Osiris said this, the scene where he was killed by his relatives and what Set did at that time all reappeared in Novia's mind. "Yes, thanks to you, I am able to remain conscious." The divine body admitted. Me? Could it be because of the dove? Because of the Ten Plagues? That’s why Osiris’ consciousness was able to return with the help of the divine body?
"....Yeah." The silver-haired boy was thinking, leaving behind his words, trying to distance himself. With the help of the protection of wind, he could teleport at a speed beyond human reaction. However, the divine body approached him at an impossible speed. Although Novia managed to protect himself in time, his wrist was numb and he could not feel it. "You don't seem... afraid of me." Novia looked into the eyes of the divine body Osiris quietly, and then said: "Why should I be afraid?" The silver-haired boy's hand lightly touched the fist that was pointing at his chest. "Must I be afraid of the incompleteness of a god, even if it is God himself?" "No matter how much you insist, it won't have a big impact on the final outcome. It's better to say that it's over. Kill the human who is hindering me. I'll make a contract and let you go. I'll rule the world and you'll be second to none... If I say that, what will you do?" The body of the Lord God and the words of the God of the Underworld, word by word, all entered Novia's heart. Looking sincerely into those angry eyes, Novia answered. "It's a very tempting suggestion, but the choice is the responsibility of those who live in this era. The era guarded by the god Osiris is already a distant past." Calmly and steadily, as if speaking to a good friend whom you have known for many years. “I’ll do what I can to do that.” If it is really caused by yourself, no matter what, you should not leave it to others to solve. It is very clear what should be done, so even if the opponent is the Lord God, even if it is beyond one's expectations and the possibility of winning is slim, one will not be afraid, there is no way one will be afraid. "Haha, after being killed by Set, I realized that humans are not born naked into the world." The God of the Underworld sneered, "Because after being born, what you see with your will is your own fist. That is your own power, and there are too many unnecessary things in your power." The god Osiris turned around and stepped on the rising sand wall. Not only that, it seemed as if gravity had been reversed, and countless sands were covering the sky that had just appeared. "Throw it all away, throw away everything that binds you!" Barking and growling. "Then, use all your strength to atone for your sins to me!" "bring it on!" Along with the cold words, a blow like the embodiment of the word "strong" came. However, Novia's sword moves were not as sharp as they were at the beginning, and he gradually lost the upper hand in the battle with the unarmed god Osiris. In the eyes of Shiari, who was using the formula left by the Atlas Institute to deal with the dark miasma, this was undoubtedly a one-sided battle. The continuous punches made it seem to her that the hands of the god Osiris had disappeared, leaving only their tracks in the air. Within a single breath, the number of punches had swelled to countless, and each one was enough to break a person's spine and rupture their internal organs. Naturally, Novia took all the punches with his sword and used magic to protect his body as much as possible. He didn't scream, perhaps because the pain was bearable.
'Hiyali' "Let's stop talking nonsense and retreat quickly. You and I cannot be a match for Osiris. According to calculations, if I lose one hand, it will be enough to close the museum before he comes out." Communicating in her mind through magic, and feeling the slightly anxious thoughts, Novia couldn't help but smile. "Don't hinder the miasma. He wants to connect to the library's system and use your formula to guide me in. My body is too strong to make a breakthrough. By the way, he is not Osiris at all. At most, he is a ghost born from his remains." Because his fighting methods were too immature, and he couldn't control his inherent power well, he was a person who used strength purely. This was what Novia understood from the battle and his reaction. Moreover, the only emotion of this god Osiris seemed to be anger. If the real Osiris was like this, how come there were so many believers in him after he was killed? "I think you can see that I am the candidate for the next president of Atlas College." 'Of course, I was just about to tell you that the miasma is no longer a hindrance to me, and what to do next is entirely up to you. I will help you gain access to this place.' The moment she heard Novia's words, Xia Li suppressed her instincts and carefully observed the divine body of Osiris. She found that the soul was indeed too weak. It did not seem like it had returned from the inside, but more like a soul that had just been born. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. 'Thank you, it's great to have you here.' "What do you mean? Let me make it clear that I have no intention of running away because there is no such thing in the contract." For some reason, Xia Li suddenly panicked, because from the beginning, Novia had not exchanged words, only a kind of calm warmth seemed to remain in her heart. At this moment, Novia let his consciousness dive down, and used his spirit to feel Shiari's formula, and entangled with the god Osiris who was trying to seize the library system. One of the purposes of building the Library of Alexandria under the sea was to transform Alexander IV, who had swallowed the fragments of the three gods, into the ultimate verification device to find a way to avoid world destruction. And now, two thousand years before the plan began, here, Novia, which was not in the plan, is competing for the authority of the library with Osiris, a god who did not appear in the original plan but gave birth to a malicious god. You have to understand that pain at the soul level far exceeds physical pain. The souls of the two people fell all the way in the darkness of the struggle for power. Falling is the process of being torn apart. The howling wind in my face and the heavy pressure on my limbs were like gradually peeling the flesh from my bones. With every collision, fresh blood splashed in the wind, nerves cried and screamed, and even the bones inside were being scraped away. Unlike the god Osiris who was trying to get all the research on human extinction from the Atlas Institute, Novia didn't care about these ghosts at all and just kept attacking the enemy. "You're a lunatic! You're a horrible human being!" The god Osiris couldn't help but curse. He regretted that he shouldn't have controlled the system in the first place, which led to the current predicament. Indeed, as Novia speculated, he was not the consciousness of Osiris himself, but a part of the soul born from the god's anger towards his brother Set. However, he was born successfully because he encountered the basic foundation of magic that was slowly being established in Novia. The howling wind fell in the darkness, as if unaware of the fierce battle, always remaining calm and almost cruelly cold. That light revealed a figure fighting fiercely with the divine body Osiris. "Terrible, huh? Is this how I look to you?" Novia sneered as he easily lifted the long sword with his right hand and placed the sword on his shoulder. With his freed left hand, he pointed at the divine body in the nerve-tearing wind. "Now, everyone on earth is just a fragile human being, not a god. Even if you have the power to rule the earth and are sure that you will live forever, you can't change this."
The silver-haired boy declared with a deeper smile, closing the distance between them in the blink of an eye. The divine body Osiris wanted to escape, but was restrained by Shiali outside with an ether line, and Novia did not give him a chance to escape and launched an offensive with all her might. "What a joke - this is nothing, just a human being, just a human being! How can it possibly compare to my body! I am Osiris, the god of the underworld! I am the main god of Egypt! I came back to this world to let Set know that I am the master of Egypt!" At a gap in Novia's attack, the god Osiris performed a magic trick. His body radiated purple light, and the surroundings were instantly filled with death. The creepy howling of wild beasts filled the air. Those were the howling of dog-headed men. Countless dark dog-headed men surrounded Novia and attacked him like a tsunami. The silver-haired boy was neither surprised nor anxious about this. It's just that, she closed her eyes slightly and opened her lips slightly. "Is that so? But——" A powerful flash of light gushed out, not physical, but a huge magical power that could burn space. Darkness is dispelled by light, and light spreads all around. Just as the law of nature has revealed, wherever the dark space reaches, it is filled with scattered and surging light, scattering and rippling, devouring everything with all its might. This same dazzling power is undoubtedly created by starlight. This was brought down by the magical power of the largest base that was being born. It should have been a destruction. This blow was not a purification, nor a forced ascension, but it sent the dog-headed people back to the world they came from. The evidence was in Xiali's eyes that, although the battle for the library's authority had not yet reached a final result, Novia and the divine body Osiris had already withdrawn from the battlefield that was damaging to their spirits. And, lying on the ground with an expressionless face, the body of the god Osiris was falling apart. "The Age of Gods has ended. From now on, the human world will no longer need the great power of the Age of Gods." He smiled proudly. "However, this statement is not correct. In fact, there has never been a time when it is not needed. If there is still a threat to stability and tranquility, it is sometimes still needed, just like now." "Oh, and I think that it doesn't matter what happens, no matter what the restrictions are, because the choice is yours, so as long as you don't regret it and don't suffer, it's fine." Novia waved his hands downwards, and red blood dripped from his arms onto the ground. Did his expression change as he watched the blood continue to flow out? Xia Li couldn't tell because there wasn't any subtle change on the silver-haired boy's face. He just kept walking forward, letting the blood drip along the way. Just as the dark miasma finally faded from sight, Novia stood outside the coffin and reached out to completely shatter the disintegrating divine body. "Novia!" Hiari ran up to him. "The contract is complete... Shialee." Then, his knees bent and he fainted on the spot as if all his strength was exhausted. 012: Dean Atlas: The hot-tempered daughter is finally saved There was a hint of dust in the air of Alexandria, and the central square was bustling with people.
But all this changed with the arrival of a silver-haired young man. The atmosphere suddenly became very lively. Passers-by who saw the newcomer stopped and gathered in twos and threes, gradually forming a semicircle with him as the center.
