Chapter 380: Chapter 380
Chapter 380: Chapter 380
Under the cloudless sky, the blazing sun beat down on the sweltering desert.
As Lisa and her team made their way toward the mysterious pyramid, Syd, having reached Level Five Divinity, initially considered using the black stone to test another death scenario. However, he stopped mid-motion, his gaze instinctively turning southward.
"Something's there..."
Syd's eyes narrowed in slight confusion.
He felt an inexplicable pull from that direction. Scientifically speaking, when he cast Divine Command, extending photons over a 1,200-kilometer radius, he sensed an anomaly in that specific area.
After a moment's thought, Syd put the black stone away and, basking in the sunlight, began flying toward the source of his curiosity.
As he flew, black liquid oozed from his right arm, and a small head formed-the familiar presence of Venom.
"Syd, where are you going?" Venom asked curiously. "What's so special about this place?"
Syd shook his head, replying casually, "Something there caught my attention. I'm going to check it out."
Hearing this, Venom seemed even more intrigued. It was rare for anything to pique Syd's interest, given his monstrous power.
Flying at a leisurely pace, Syd refrained from using his full speed. After a while, Venom's head turned, directing Syd's attention.
"Hey, there's a group of humans over there," Venom pointed out.
Syd paused midair, turning to look.
A kilometer away, a group of people and camels trudged through the desert against the wind and sand.
Focusing his attention, Syd's divine body and mastery over light granted him perfect clarity. From a kilometer away, he could see every detail of the group, down to the strands of hair on their heads.
A band of humans in the middle of an uninhabited desert? That seemed odd.
For a moment, scenes from various movies and TV shows flashed through Syd's mind. His curiosity piqued, he observed them more closely.
"Their direction..."
Syd noticed that the group was headed toward the same destination as him.
It was too much of a coincidence to ignore. They must be seeking something specific- perhaps even the same thing that had drawn him.
Deciding to investigate, Syd moved closer, floating silently above the group as he eavesdropped on their conversations.
It didn't take long for Syd to piece together their purpose.
"A pyramid..."
A flicker of curiosity crossed Syd's face.
A mysterious pyramid? Who built it? What secrets did it hold?
The pyramid wasn't far, so Syd decided to remain above the group, observing their journey like watching a live-action adventure film.
Thirty minutes later, the caravan came to a halt.
"Are you sure this is the place?" Lisa asked impatiently, glaring at Najido. "I don't see anything!"
Before them lay nothing but sand and sunlight.
"If your map is correct..." Najido muttered, stroking his white beard as he scrutinized a brown parchment map marked with directions.
"Then why is there nothing here?" Lisa wiped sweat from her forehead, her irritation growing. "If you've led us astray, you can forget about your million dollars, and I'll take back the advance!"
Najido panicked, mumbling, "It doesn't make sense. The map clearly marks this spot..."
While the group bickered, Syd, hovering above, observed the scene with growing intrigue.
From his perspective, the area did appear empty. Yet, his senses confirmed that this was the source of the anomaly.
More importantly, the light in this area seemed unusually distorted—fake, even.
Red light flickered across Syd's hand as he cast Chaos Magic.
Boom!
The energy collided with an invisible force, revealing a faint golden, translucent barrier. Within the barrier stood a magnificent pyramid, hundreds of meters tall. Its limestone-white surface reflected the sunlight brilliantly, while its golden capstone gleamed like a miniature
sun.
The group fell silent, stunned by the sudden appearance of the pyramid.
"It's here!"
"So it really exists!"
Their awe was quickly replaced by a mix of excitement and confusion. What had caused it to appear?
After a brief discussion, their thoughts shifted to the treasures rumored to lie within. Their breaths quickened, and without hesitation, they pushed forward, passing through the barrier as if walking through a sheet of water.
Syd followed silently, floating like a ghost behind them.
As soon as the group entered, the barrier faded once more, concealing the pyramid from view.
Walking several hundred meters, they arrived at the base of the pyramid.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"How do we get in?" Lisa asked, her gaze falling on a burly man with distinctly Egyptian
features.
Without a word, the man began searching for an entrance.
After ten minutes of effort, a rumbling noise echoed as the pyramid's massive doors creaked
open.
A rush of stale air greeted them, and with eager anticipation, they stepped inside.
Syd trailed behind, invisible and unnoticed.
As they ventured deeper, passing through corridors and chambers, they encountered
numerous murals.
Many depicted golden disks, figures with bird heads and human bodies, and others with ram
heads.
Najido began explaining, "The disk represents the sun, a symbol of Ra, the Sun God. The bird- headed figures also represent Ra. The ram-headed figure depicts Ra's form in the
underworld."
"These murals mostly portray images of Ra..."
The group was intrigued.
Ra, the Sun God, symbolized light and creation. His worship held a central place in ancient
Egyptian culture.
A young man in glasses named Norbert remarked, "Interestingly, the name 'Ra' means 'light'
in Sanskrit. In the context of Buddhism, Amitabha can be interpreted as reverence for infinite
light."
"It seems ancient civilizations all revered the sun and light in some form..."
Lisa smirked. "You're quite the scholar, aren't you?"
After some lighthearted banter, their curiosity returned.
What connection did Ra have to this pyramid?
