HCB Chapter 177 Osiris
Chapter 177 Osiris
after an hour,
With a face full of excitement, Yiyu pulled out an exquisite glass bottle from his pocket. The glass bottle contained the spiritual energy refined and condensed from the massacre of the 008 squad a while ago. Then he slowly guided the spiritual energy into the yellowish-brown [Source Conductor].
At this moment, the [Source Conductor] emitted a faint spiritual light.
As the [Source Conductor] repaired the damaged altar of the Underworld God, a towering black beam of light suddenly appeared from the altar.
Excitedly, Yiyu said to the chief of the Church of the Ancient Gods, "Haha, our era has arrived! Rejoice! I will share this glory with you all."
In the sky,
The world of the dead appeared increasingly solid, and the entire city of Lintang was plunged into darkness. Although it was midsummer, the temperature quickly dropped below 0 degrees Celsius.
Baili Pangpang sneezed and let out a strange cry.
"Old Wang, the weather's getting cooler so quickly!"
"Nonsense, that's the aura of death from the underworld. Even if you're wearing ten down jackets and covered in hand warmers, that aura will still seep into your body, making you feel chilled to the bone and your heart soar!"
Lin Qiye said with some worry, "When should we make our move? We don't want to make a mistake!"
Wang Teng narrowed his eyes, a golden light flashed, and then he said with an inscrutable expression,
"It'll be soon, almost there, Zhou Ping. I'll set an example for you; you'll be the one for the next battle!"
Zhou Ping, who was inexplicably dragged into the fray: "(▼ヘ▼), I feel like swearing, but my teacher said that swearing is wrong!"
"They're here!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a withered, bald man wearing a pale white coat and a gold belt slowly emerged from the towering black pillar of light.
His bald head had deep-set eyes and his skin wasn't smooth and watery, but rather a bluish-green color, making him look like a Smurf—mysterious yet evil!
In his left hand he held a cane and a flail, and in his right hand he held a scepter symbolizing the god of the underworld, the top of which was inlaid with several gems that shimmered with an evil light.
As the bald man stepped completely out of the pillar of light, a powerful and complete divine pressure filled the entire world.
"I, the god of the underworld, who holds the power over immortality and death, the great Osiris, I came, I saw, I conquered!!!"
"Hahaha, so what if there's a national guardian stele? I've still stepped into the Great Xia Kingdom! Tremble, subjects of Great Xia, obediently become lambs in my divine kingdom, and offer your bodies and souls to the great Osiris!"
Just then, a finger poked Osiris in the back.
Osiris was startled. He had just arrived in Great Xia, so who could suddenly appear behind him?
Thinking of a certain possibility, Osiris didn't dare to turn back. He transformed into a streak of black light and fled into the distance. He quickly turned his head to look at the spot where he had just been standing, but saw nothing.
He poked Osiris with a finger again, then said impatiently, "Hey, idiot~, how are you? Why are you all green? Is your girlfriend too in love with you?"
Upon hearing this, Osiris disregarded his fear and angrily cursed at Wang Teng, "You ant, you're courting death! I will cast you into the Land of the Dead, mummify your body, let countless evil spirits tear your soul apart, and then roast your soul over an eternal lamp for three thousand years before I can quell the hatred in my heart."
Wang Teng blinked, never expecting that Osiris, that idiot, would fly into such a rage when he simply went up to say hello in a normal way.
However, when Osiris's entire divine body was revealed to the world, Wang Teng's voice was not loud and not many people could hear it, but Osiris's curses were like thunder and could be heard throughout the entire Lintang City.
Baili Pangpang looked at Lin Qiye curiously: "Qiye, what exactly did Old Wang say that made this big oaf so furious!"
"It's nothing. Old Wang just gave Osiris a 'friendly' greeting. It's just that Osiris, that big oaf, is too sensitive."
Shen Qingzhu and Cao Yuan, who also heard Wang Teng's greeting, looked at Lin Qiye, whose buttocks were tilted to one side, in disbelief, wondering how he had the nerve to say such a thing.
Shen Qingzhu looked at Lin Qiye in disbelief: "Qiye, you've changed. For Wang Teng, you've lost your principles."
Jialan pouted again.
Fatty excitedly exclaimed, "Shut up, shut up~"
"Osiris was the eldest son of Geb, the god of the earth, and Nut, the goddess of the sky, in Egyptian mythology. According to legend, before Osiris became a god, his brother Set and his wife Nephthys used lightning to create a fire in the earth and gave him a hat that said 'I love you and forgive you.' Then the two of them tricked Osiris into a coffin and threw the coffin into the Nile River, where Osiris drowned."
Fatty clapped his hands in sudden realization: "Got it! This big oaf not only had his woman slept with by his own brother, but he was also drowned by his brother and wife working together. Seriously, are the stories between gods in foreign countries this melodramatic? It's almost as ridiculous as a rotten persimmon!"
"That's pretty much it, Fatty. Stop reading about rotten persimmons. We're a special team now, so you need to read more about the legends of various pantheons."
The gods listen to the world.
Although Lin Qiye, Shen Qingzhu, and Baili Pangpang spoke softly, Osiris still heard them.
Osiris broke through his defenses and roared, "No! That bitch Nephthys is not my wife! My wife will always be only Isis! Mortals, you who do not worship gods, you have already deserved to die!"
As Osiris roared, a strange, eerie light swept towards the members of the Sky-Covering Squad.
When the members of the Covering Heaven Squad smelled the scent emanating from Osiris's roar, their vision went black. This scent was even more terrifying than that of the Ghost-Faced Man!
Zhou Ping drew the Dragon Elephant Sword and appeared before everyone, his massive sword energy directly meeting the eerie light emitted by Osiris.
The sword energy clashed with the eerie light, like a needle pointing at a wheat awn, neither giving way to the other.
Ultimately, both shattered and vanished without a trace.
"Idiot, calm down! Your opponent is me!"
Looking at Wang Teng standing in mid-air before him, Osiris's face revealed a cautious and wary expression.
It was so strange; in his eyes, Wang Teng was still standing in the same spot.
However, Wang Teng's figure could not be seen at all in the mental sea.
"Sir, if you step down, I will not hold this matter against you."
Wang Teng didn't respond, but instead asked curiously, "Osiris, I have a question I'm very curious about. Why did Anubis help Isis? What price did she pay? Was it a favor or something else? Also, according to legend, your lower body was eaten by fish. So how exactly did you and Isis give birth to your son Horus that night?"
