Chapter 310 Sekhmet, Queen of the Gods
After Sekhmet bestowed blessings and divine power on Nafir, he no longer showed his dazzling divine light.
Although ordinary humans could not see Sekhmet's divine form, Sekhmet did not leave the temple directly, but declared in a majestic voice.
"Gods of Egypt, I have once again ascended the throne of the protector of the country. Now I want to re-create the temples belonging to Sekhmet, and the gods who are willing to surrender to me will come to me immediately."
With the blessing of the protector god, Sekhmet's voice resounded throughout every land of Egypt and reached the ears of all Egyptian gods.
The next moment!
The crocodile god Sobek, the patron saint of Crocodile City closest to Itawui City, came to the Sekhmet Temple.
Sobek, the crocodile god with a crocodile head and body, knelt respectfully in front of Sekhmet and shouted.
"Great Mother Goddess, Sobek congratulates the Mother Goddess on becoming the Queen of the Gods again."
Hearing Sobek's name, Sekhmet stared at Sobek fiercely like an angry lioness and said.
"If you dare to blaspheme my reputation as a virgin again, I will kill you."
Faced with Sekhmet's threat, Sobek hurriedly changed his words.
"I shouted wrong! My mother goddess is the goddess Knight. Please forgive me for my mistake, the kind queen."
"Sobek, who do you think is your mother goddess?"
Following the embarrassed question of the goddess Knight, the goddess Knight, with her wings spread out from behind, also arrived at the Sekhmet Temple.
Seeing the goddess Knight, Sekhmet said in surprise.
"Nate, do you want to join my pantheon too?"
Goddess Knight immediately shook her head and said.
"My city of Sais now belongs to the Kingdom of Athens. Even if I want to join, I will join the pantheon of the Kingdom of Athens. I am just here to observe and learn from you about your experience in creating the pantheon."
"You want to learn the experience of creating the pantheon -"
Sekhmet teased with a smile.
"Do you think you will become the Queen of the Gods in the Kingdom of Athens?"
"Do you think I don't have the strength and qualifications to become the Queen of the Gods?"
After asking Sekhmet, Knight looked at Roy.
Because whether Knight can become the protector of the Kingdom of Athens is not decided by Sekhmet, but by Roy.
After Roy avoided Knight's gaze with a guilty conscience, Knight looked at Sobek with cold eyes and said.
"Sobek, who do you say is your mother goddess?"
"Mother Goddess..."
Sobek looked at Knight with aggrieved eyes and said.
"Do the two mother gods not want my son? Although I, Sobek, don't like Seth [Zeus] to be my cheap father god, I obviously like both mother gods very much."
The crocodile god Sobek is a newly rising god.
Four hundred years ago, Nafir's ancestors moved their capital to Itawui City.
Influenced by Itawui City becoming the capital, Crocodile City, which is located in the same area as Itawui City, developed rapidly and regarded the crocodile god Sobek as its patron saint.
As a newly rising god, Sobek voluntarily became the cheap son of Sekhmet, Queen of the Gods, in order to increase his authority and popularity.
Later, the Hyksos came to dominate Egypt, and the city of Sais became the capital of the Fourteenth Dynasty. Sobek became the convenient son of Set [Zeus], the patron saint of the Hyksos, and Knight, the patron saint of the city of Sais. The cheap son of the goddess.
Because Sobek is a new and weak god, so being a son to those ancient and powerful gods has more advantages than disadvantages for Sobek.
But for Sekhmet and Knight, they obviously did not want to have an unrelated son and tarnish their reputation as virgin goddesses.
Just when Sobek complained that the two cheap mother goddesses did not accept his cheap son, more and more gods descended on the Sekhmet Temple.
The patron saint of Hermopolis - Thoth, the heron-headed god in charge of wisdom and the moon.
The patron saint of the city of Nicob - Nekhbet, the queen of the gods of southern Egypt before the establishment of the First Dynasty.
The patron saint of the city of Heracleopolis - during the Ninth Dynasty, he became the protector god Khryshev.
The patron saint of Kawu City - Kawu Keite, one of the eight gods.
The patron saint of Hu City - Hu, one of the eight gods.
The patron saint of Asyut - the war god Upuot with the head of a wolf and the body of a man.
The patron saint of Ahmeim City - the protector of travelers and children.
The patron saint of Abydos - Anubis, the god of death in the underworld with the head of a wolf.
Hathor, the cow god and sun goddess, is the patron saint of Dandara.
The patron saint of Hierakonpolis - Horus, who became the protector of the country in past history.
The patron saint of Aswan is Satit, the elephant goddess who presides over war and hunting.
The patron saint of Elephant Island is the ram god Khnum, who is in charge of the source of the Nile.
The patron saint of Sehel Island - Anuket, the goddess of the Nile.
In addition to these city-state patron saints, gods such as the scorpion goddess Serket without a patron saint seat, the plant god Nefertum, the war goddess Mut, the moon god Kongs, the scarab god Kebli and other gods also came. Temple of Sekhmet.
After these gods stood in two rows according to their strength, the sun snake Wajit, the patron saint of Butuo City, came belatedly and walked up to her sister god Netbet.
Although Wadjet and Nekhbet are the patron saints of northern Egypt and the other is the patron saint of southern Egypt.
But before the establishment of the First Dynasty, Wadjet and Nekhbet had become the protector gods of northern Egypt and the protector gods of southern Egypt respectively.
After the unification of Egypt, the two goddesses often appeared together as "Double Women".
Their names were also added to the name of the Pharaoh.
"Nehbet!"
"Wajit!"
After the two goddesses greeted each other, Wadjet sighed.
"We haven't seen each other for a hundred years since the invasion of the Hyksos. I didn't expect that not only would Amon lose the throne of the Protector God, but he would be able to ascend the throne of the Protector God again with the help of the Hyksos invasion. Even Sekhmet can ascend the throne of the Protector of the Nation again. My dear sister, when will you ascend the throne of the Protector of the Nation again?"
Nekhbet said with a wry smile.
"Dear sisters! Every patron saint here has had a glorious history. But how many gods can return to glory like Amon and Sekhmet? Don't expect me to become a patron again. National God, because I am also counting on you to return to the throne of the National Protector, and then I will increase my authority and popularity as your [double female] sister.”
After saying that, the two goddesses looked at each other and smiled.
Although they had a glorious history in the past, like most gods, they have completely given up on rising again.
Because it is almost impossible to rise again, unless they are willing to be wives, sisters or daughters of the newly risen gods.
Not only Wadjet and Nekhbet, but other gods with good relationships were also whispering to each other.
Horus, the eagle-headed man, even spoke enthusiastically in front of the sun goddess Hathor.
"Dear Hathor, just marry me and become my beloved wife! I was once the protector of the country who was above all the gods. Am I not worthy of you?"
Hathor glared at Horus impatiently and teased.
"Do you think I can't see it? You want to marry me just because I am confused with Sekhmet. Now that Sekhmet has become the protector of the country, my authority and popularity will also increase. You just want to use me Increase your authority and visibility.”
