Chapter 42: The Thief Crying "Catch the Thief" and Taking Out His Anger on Others
After planting in everyone the memory that "the old butler traveled all the way and finally found the missing young master and brought him home", Lin You left the Temple of the Sun and temporarily left the mummy world and was taken back to the Garden of Eden in the big world.
He spent three or four days in the mummy world, but he didn't know how much time had passed in the big world; the god Amon was no longer there, but an unexpected visitor appeared.
Lord of the Pantheon, king of the ancient Roman pantheon, Jupiter.
He was standing side by side with Chronos and God, as if they were here to welcome Lin You's return.
"Your Majesty the God King, I didn't expect to see you here." Lin You was surprised and confused, and didn't know what to say next.
Jupiter's body was taller and stronger than what he had seen in the dream, much taller than Chronos and the personal image of God; his muscles were full of the muscular lines that the ancient Greeks and Romans admired.
Jupiter smiled indifferently, looking as if he was unfamiliar with Lin You, and said in a deep voice: "The gods of the Great World are preparing to put pressure on the Mummy World. I just came earlier."
"So you have been waiting here for a long time? That really troubles you." Lin You laughed dryly twice.
"Now that you're back, there's no trouble. At least the gods of the two worlds haven't fallen into an all-out war, and I don't have to stay here any longer." Jupiter's face was stern without any fluctuation, and it was impossible to tell whether he was speaking the truth or sarcasm.
After saying that, he left without caring that Lin You was still confused. Before leaving, he said to the other two supreme gods in a pointed way: "You may not be able to trust all of Set's words. He took all the blame on himself, but no one knows if he is deliberately protecting someone."
Chronos responded coldly: "Your words are dangerous, Jupiter."
"Words are far less dangerous than a conspiracy that is put into practice." After saying this, Jupiter left heaven without giving Chronos a chance to continue speaking.
Lin You listened to the conversation between the two gods with a bewildered look on his face. "Did I miss something? Why can't I understand what you are saying at all?"
"Just now, before you came back, Horus from the Mummy World had already sent Set here." God explained, "He admitted that it was He who bewitched Anubis and other gods from the Mummy World, trying to abandon our great world and carry out their own world fusion plan."
Lin You laughed dumbly: "They also want to merge the world? To create a 'Big World Plan' version 3.0? What's their basis?"
"With you," God said, "He made the gods of the Mummy World mistakenly believe that they could control and manipulate you to work for them. With the quill pen and the 'truth factor', they can certainly start their own 'big world plan'."
"The gods are so easy to fool." Lin You was speechless. "Then what was the quarrel between Jupiter and Chronos just now about?"
"When Set was deceiving the world, he hinted to the mummy world that there were deep contradictions among the gods in the big world. Some gods did not want to see the ancient Egyptian gods grow stronger, so they also deliberately prevented the mummy story from being integrated into the big world. Set said that when necessary, he could get support from the big world."
Lin You was stunned: "The pantheon he is talking about is the Olympus pantheon?"
Chronos said angrily, "Jupiter thinks so."
Isn't this the thief's cry to catch the thief?
Lin You, who knew who was Seth's supporter, sighed secretly. He thought about telling him that Jupiter had come to him for cooperation, but the idea only crossed his mind once and was rejected in less than two seconds.
From what Jupiter had just said, Seth had taken all the blame. Moreover, Jupiter responded to God's call as quickly as possible after the accident and appeared in heaven, which was equivalent to asking God and Chronos to prove his alibi.
Looking at myself, apart from a meeting in a dream, I have no substantial evidence, so words are not enough.
Jupiter himself doesn't even need to show up, Set can easily mock and refute himself: "You are just a mortal, how can you tell the real Jupiter from the fake Jupiter? How do you know that the one you saw in the dream was not me?" The identity of the author requires Lin You to maintain a neutral position as much as possible. In the absence of evidence, unilaterally accusing a god-king of a pantheon will only lead to more suspicion and disputes, which will undermine his neutral and fair position and is not in his own interests.
Moreover, the past year or so was enough for Lin You to see the conflict of interests in the Great World Plan and basically understand the true relationship between the gods. It was simply a pipe dream to expect these gods to work together to find out the truth, or even temporarily damage the Great World Plan to find out the truth.
I am a small person and cannot currently carry the banner of upholding fairness and justice in the virtual dimension.
You guys are a bunch of great people, do whatever you want.
At this time, God continued, "The rebellious gods in the mummy world will be handed over to Amon to deal with. This is an internal affair of the ancient Egyptian pantheon. The most important thing now is to complete the integration of the world as soon as possible and put an end to this turmoil."
"I'm fine." At this time, even though he was already physically and mentally exhausted by the previous incidents, Lin You could only pat his chest and make a promise.
After all, he is the employer.
The portal opened again, leading to the time point of the third movie in the Mummy series. This time, no accidents happened, and Lin You crossed the portal safely and went to the predetermined location - the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang - where the final battle took place.
Just after Lin You disappeared from heaven, God's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said to Chronos, "Do you know the punishment measures that Amon will take against the gods who launched the rebellion this time?"
"Yes, Set cannot be killed, but he will be sealed and suppressed in the underworld forever. Osiris, the king of the underworld, was killed by Set when he was alive. He will definitely keep a close eye on Set until he dies."
God sighed: "I am not concerned about Set, but the gods who originally belonged to the world of mummies."
Chronos was puzzled. "They? Didn't they say that after the fusion of the worlds, all the gods who participated in the rebellion, from Anubis on down, would no longer be recognized as the gods and avatars of the Nine Pillars, and would only be given a lower standard of treatment? This is a joint agreement among all of our pantheons."
"Yes. But the result of doing so is that the ancient Egyptian pantheon will suffer the greatest loss." God reminded, "Six of the nine gods in the mummy world participated in the rebellion. Depriving them of their divinity will in disguise weaken the strength of the ancient Egyptian pantheon."
Chronos said indifferently: "All causes and consequences are attributed to Set. It is a problem within their ancient Egyptian pantheon."
"Do you really think so, Chronos?" God said earnestly, "I have been observing your world of classical mythology since the day I was born. I think I have a relatively good understanding of your ways."
"What did you learn?"
"From what I understand, the vast majority of gods in each of your pantheons have the habit of taking their anger out on humans."
"..." Chronos didn't speak for a long time.
On the other hand, Lin You didn't know about the conversation between the two supreme gods in heaven. He was now looking at the Terracotta Army, the funny skeletons and mummies, and the desire to complain about this movie, which had been dormant for many years, surged.
Which idiot wrote this script?
Second update
Today, the second update was deliberately put after midnight. I don't understand the rules of Qidian's recommendation promotion based on follow-up reading, but several authors of the same period only updated once today. After asking, there were various answers. So I followed the trend and only updated once before midnight, and put the second update after midnight.
In addition, continue to seek to read the data.
