Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality-Chapter 712 - 253 Devouring the Sun_2

Chapter 712: Chapter 253 Devouring the Sun_2

It had now become the last existence that had a chance to influence the situation, even Ra had noticed that the opponent’s strength was also rising.

If the Sun was the beginning of all things for Hemenu, a positive, masculine manifestation, then Apep was the end of all things, a negative, feminine manifestation.

Its purpose of birth was to destroy the world, to reset all things. Even though the world did not favor it during this critical moment, as the destruction of all things intensified, it was still growing stronger.

Crack—

Even separated by the vast Void, the sound of the chains breaking on the serpent’s body was heard by Amon-Ra.

If he wished, he now had the spare strength to continue suppressing it.

But he did nothing, instead withdrawing the power of the seal, as if he were already too weak to maintain the seal under the pressure of the Outer God.

Soundlessly, the light emitted by the Sun grew stronger, its trajectory continually making subtle adjustments.

At one moment, under the shroud of the Endless Void, Ra gave a slight smile.

“For tens of thousands of years, you’ve always wanted to swallow the Sun.”

“Now, you have your chance.”

Below the earth, in the darkness of the Void lit by light.

Apep opened its eyes.

······

Hiss—

In a chaotic darkness where there was no light.

But as the God of Sun exerted his full force, even on the dark side of the world, light finally broke through.

The pale golden sunlight seemed to contain the will of Ra-Atum, merging the might of two generations of Sun Gods. It brought life to everything in the world, dispelling all dangers and calamities.

But Apep disliked this light, for it was inherently danger, inherently calamity.

Its sole purpose of existence was to destroy the world, and to destroy the world, it had to destroy the Sun first.

Ever since the ancient Atum was born beside the Benben Stone from a stone egg, it was born under the darkness where the Sun could not shine. When it first saw light, it knew that only one of them could exist in this world.

Thus, even without Wisdom, without rationale, for millions of years, Apep still remembered one thing.

Destroy the Sun!

Hiss…

Its chaotic, perplexed eyes opened, and the giant serpent had long forgotten what had happened before.

Its archenemy had suddenly become so strong that it was no match at all. But Apep didn’t remember these things, it only knew that it was time to fight again.

Rattle—

The sound of sliding chains echoed with the twisting of the serpent’s body, those chains that had once tightly bound it now didn’t seem so terrifying.

As one chain after another broke under its movements, clearing away these bindings, Apep finally began seeking out that uncomfortable thing…

The Sun!

A deep roar emanated from the snake’s throat, filled with excitement and the intent to kill, but distinctly devoid of fear and hesitation.

Previously, whenever it awoke from its slumber, the gods ruling the Mortal Realm would steer the Solar Barge here to battle it, never giving it a chance to surface on the land.

But this time, there was nothing obstructing Apep!

“…It’s the Sun…”

“… The Sun…”

“—The Sun!”

Even inferior to Typhon, the demon god of Destruction had no ability to communicate, ‘The Sun’ was the only word it understood.

The serpent’s body shuddered, and with a “crack crack” sound, the remaining shackles turned into dust.

Even across a great distance, Apep’s chaotic eyes immediately noticed the source of light shining on him. It was the Sun, and it was right above him!

“Roar—!”

The endlessly winding body first coiled, then suddenly lunged upwards.

The world after Egypt’s death was easily breached, and Laru, where the gods had once secured the souls of believers, crumbled one after another.

A crack opened in the earth, and the giant serpent poked its head out. Above it, the Sun moved at a seemingly slow but actually swift pace. It attempted to smash its body into the realm of darkness, scattering the Outer God’s power cast into the Mortal Realm.

Then, the next moment, Apep opened its massive jaw, and the sky seemed to gain another crack.

Then, with one bite, Hemenu’s source of light, the beginning of all life, turned into its meal.

…

Above the Primordial Water, Amon-Ra’s face changed drastically as he stepped back in a defensive stance.

However, sensing his strength rise again, his heart was as stable as Mount Tai.

This was not enough, Apep swallowing the Sun did not mean the Sun was destroyed. In fact, in the long history, it had also been victorious in its struggles with the Sun before.

The so-called ‘Solar Eclipse’ among Mortals originated from this, showing that being swallowed temporarily does not truly lead to the Sun’s destruction.

But this was unimportant, for overlooking the Mortal World, Amon-Ra clearly saw that when Apep swallowed the Sun, its body seemed to expand once again.

In its chaotic pupils flickered black gleams, first looking at the ground beneath and then at the sky above.

Yet, what Apep could not understand was that the powers corresponding to these two places had long since dissipated; whether they had been destroyed held no significance anymore.

In today’s world, those once delectable ‘snacks’ had vanished without a trace, leaving only a few scattered remnants. Only above the sky, it seemed there still existed two grand feasts.

“Hiss—”

The Sun burned in its stomach, the pain only made Apep more excited.

For any rational being, what it should do now was silently digest the Sun within until it was utterly destroyed, or bring destruction to the Mortal Realm and let its symbolic annihilation ascend.

But Apep did not think so; it lifted its snake head again, its crimson tongue swaying in the air.

In its eyes, there was no fear, only greed facing things.

Amon-Ra… that was the power of the Void, not conflicting with the Chaotic Serpent. Even if it wanted all things to return to chaos, it still required the Void to carry everything.

Therefore, in Apep’s instincts, Amon-Ra was automatically relegated to the last priority, and it targeted the existence on the other side.

At this moment, the Mortal Realm was shrouded in darkness, driven by the instinct of life, it could sense the terrible power of the opponent, which was stronger than its current strength.

But this was not within Apep’s consideration, it only knew, if it destroyed that being, then it might enjoy the true joy of annihilating the world!

“Hiss—!”

“Roar—!”

The body moved again, Apep’s body expanded a million times.

Its head slowly emerged from the Mortal Realm, poked out of the world, reached above the Primordial Water, and then charged at the target without hesitation.

Success? Failure? That was not within its concerns.

For millions of years, it had failed countless times, but as long as it was alive, it would never stop!

“Heh, just as expected.”

He stepped back, as if eager to watch two enemies fight each other, joy surfacing on Amon-Ra’s heart.

The last two, I’ll deliver them to you in one package.

Then I will stand atop the world, and send you to meet them.
