Decapitating God's Authority

  Decapitating God's Majesty

  A'men'g also noticed the reaction of Gilgamesh and Enkidu in the distance, who were astonished. Suddenly, Gilgamesh waved his hand and gave an order. The divine officers of Uruk's army gathered around the high platform, raised their staffs, and a huge light shield rose to protect the platform. Gilgamesh held his staff horizontally and closed his eyes.

  Another "divine spirit" appeared in the sky above the battlefield, with a 'naked' and 'exposed' beautiful physique wrapped in a hazy seven-colored light, its body was taller than the city tower of Red Cliff Town, but it was Gilgamesh's face. This is also a manifestation of divine signs, Gilgamesh transformed into a "divine form" in mid-air, not an illusion, but a physical body that transcended the constraints of the flesh and condensed into a shape by abstract consciousness.

  It is said that only divine beings can display the incredible miracle, but Gilgamesh has achieved it. In the previous battle, he had revealed his divine form, but Amen was in a fierce battle with Enkidu at the time and did not see it. Witnessing it with his own eyes this time, Amen couldn't help but feel dizzy and bewildered. As a great magician and warrior, and unlike other magicians or warriors, Amen has always sought to become a divine being, so he feels differently.

  The form presented by Gilgamesh is the true and pure self-consciousness that has been condensed in the long-term spiritual meditation. When cultivated to this realm, what is awakened may not be just the power bestowed by the gods, but another kind of free existence after the body and mind transcend their bounds, possessing the magical powers cultivated in this life, close to the 'abstract' eternity.

  A'men' recalled the old madman's words, a 9th-level achievement can possess the power to fight against divine spirits, and is even called a demigod. Some of the so-called divine spirits that appear in the mortal world may just be demigods after all.

  Seeing Gilgamesh, A'men understood one thing - not all ninth-level achievers can be called demigods. To appear as a divine being, there are two possibilities. The first is to possess the power of both sides, becoming a ninth-level divine technique master and a ninth-level martial artist at the same time, and the secret to becoming a divine being lies within. The second possibility is to cultivate to the peak of the boundary, touching the end of human achievement, just like Gilgamesh and Enqi in front of him.

  Gilgamesh was so arrogant, not even putting the gods in his eyes, he indeed had the capital to be proud. If you don't know who he is, just seeing the heavenly signs in the sky, who dares to say that it's not a god? This person either already understands some secrets of the gods or is an unparalleled genius.

  A'men'g was deep in thought when Gilgamesh, who was floating in mid-air, pointed diagonally at a large cloud eagle with his hand. A golden light flew up from the high platform under his feet. It was a golden flying dart, and on the flying dart stood Enkidu, holding a giant shield and a broadsword. Gilgamesh himself was not on the flying dart, but he could control it remotely to send Enkidu to the clouds.

  The giant eagle formed by the gathering of white clouds also "saw" Enqi and others riding the flying arrow towards him, slightly flapping his wings, opening his huge beak, and emitting a strange whistle.

  The whistling sound came out with a strong impact, but nothing could be heard. Moreover, the soldiers on both sides of the battlefield couldn't hear any sound at this moment, as if a mysterious force had pierced their eardrums and entered their brains, making their bodies go soft all over. The fierce battle had unknowingly stopped, and people were staring blankly at the sky, with some even dropping their weapons to the ground without realizing it.

  People on the battlefield felt this way, and the blessings in the air were directly facing the divine eagle's attack. The golden light on the flying arrow was trembling non-stop, as if it would be scattered at any moment. His giant shield emitted a white glow under the sonic impact, becoming semi-transparent. Gilgamesh's figure continued to point at the giant eagle, controlling the flying arrow to penetrate the blockade and fly high into the sky.

  A silent roar suddenly became sharp, like an unstoppable force explosion, Gilgamesh's body light trembled, Enkidu's flying arrow and the giant shield in his hand could not withstand this impact, and suddenly burst at the same time. The warrior let out a deafening roar, using the power of the bursting arrow to jump high, holding a broadsword to slash towards the giant eagle.

  Enqi's majestic figure looked tiny in front of the massive cloud eagle, but the golden sword he swung out was dazzling to the extreme, with a length of over 100 feet, like a giant blade slashing through the sky, cutting towards the cloud eagle's head.

  On the city wall, Ah'mene felt an inexplicable heart-pounding excitement. Although he knew that Enlil and Gilgamesh were enemies, he couldn't help but think of another person - the old madman Nietzsche. Song Lei had once shown Ah'mene the magnificent scene of Nietzsche's final moment, where the old madman wielded his staff and charged towards the clouds, a scene eerily similar to what was unfolding before him now. The old madman was already dead, but had Enlil also gone mad? He and Gilgamesh seemed to have been waiting for this moment all along, just like the old madman had always been waiting for the appearance of the gods.

  The giant blade slashed through the cloud eagle, but the cloud had no physical form. The sword's edge passed through it as if nothing had happened. However, the entire sky was shaking, and the struck cloud eagle dispersed before a massive storm suddenly rolled in, making everything invisible. Many people on the ground stumbled and struggled to stand upright due to the turbulent winds.

  He stood very steadily, and his eyes were also very clear. Gilgamesh's figure that appeared in the air disappeared into the storm, and he opened his eyes again on the high platform, raised his staff to the sky, and a violent wind rose, just wrapping up Enkidu who was falling from the sky, and landed steadily on the high platform again. Looking at this number one warrior of the mainland, the right hand with the boxing glove only held half of the incomplete broadsword, and the snake scale armor on his body also had terrible cracks.

  A furious and majestic voice came from the sky: "You are crazy, dare to offend the gods!" Then the storm dispersed, the huge cloud eagle disappeared, the sun shone again, and this battlefield where thousands of people were killing each other was suddenly quiet.

  Only Enki was laughing loudly, his laughter hoarse and tired, but unable to conceal the excitement and frenzy, shouting towards the sky: "Horus, why don't you come down from the clouds to the battlefield? Are you, the great god praised by all people, also afraid? You have already been defeated by us, haven't you?"

  Horus' voice echoed again in the sky above the battlefield: "A person on the verge of extinction, what qualifications do you have to fight a decisive battle with me? You are just a manifestation of a god who has been beheaded, but you will face the most miserable fate. No matter how strong you think you are, you cannot escape the curse of this fate." Then there was no sound, and the god had already left.

  Everyone was silent, and no one knew what to say. It seemed that Enkidu had dispelled the divine signs that Horus had shown, but Horus himself did not truly appear before leaving, yet he said a few words to save face as he departed, and it was unclear whether his intimidation was true or false.

  The horn on the castle wall sounded a long, mournful note, and the soldiers of Ergo suddenly stopped in their tracks. The two legion commanders, Longteng and Burez, came to their senses, shouting orders to gather their troops and withdraw from the battlefield before the enemy could fully react, they quickly retreated, their mission accomplished.

  The Uruk army did not pursue or continue to attack the city, but instead retreated slowly. Today's battle was exceptionally brutal, with both sides suffering heavy casualties, and the appearance of the gods at the end was a shocking climax. At this moment, all the soldiers were unwilling to fight again, they felt too shocked, and had not yet fully recovered.

  A'meng walked down the city wall and returned to the general command hall, where the generals beside him were all silent, each with various questions in their minds, but no one dared to speak up. An invisible heavy atmosphere enveloped everyone's heart. A'meng ordered Hongxiaozhen and the two large camps on either side to be vigilant, then had someone write a battle report to present to Fa Lao, before retiring to rest.

  The war report of the battle should be written by the military secretary, who is good at wording. It must reflect the reality of the battlefield, but also cannot dampen the morale and prestige of the army, nor can it damage the dignity of the gods. The clerk was very skilled in his words, and this war report vividly described how Ameng led the army to repel the fierce attack of the Uruk Corps, and how the two corps commanders launched a heroic counterattack that severely damaged the enemy.

  The war report specifically mentions that the Eg army was protected by Horus, and the great god unfolded his body to appear in the sky above the battlefield, inspiring the Eg generals to repel the powerful enemy. When the god disappeared, he also cursed the leader of the enemy, who would suffer the most terrifying punishment in the world, and the Eg army would usher in the final victory.

  Carefully reading this battle report, it really is the case that Pharaoh attached great importance to it because Horus appeared, and everyone on the battlefield was a witness. Ramses II immediately convened his ministers and people in the temple of Cape God to hold a grand sacrificial ceremony, and sent an envoy team to the front line to reward the soldiers in the name of the gods.

  As the commander-in-chief, Ah'men'g was naturally rewarded with the heaviest rewards. Before the war was over, he was granted the title of "Great Divine Spirit Horus's Blessing, Guardian of Upper and Lower Egypt, Defender of Imperial Dignity, Inheritor of An-Ra's Glory, Renowned General of the Nations". The title is very long, it is a noble title, he also obtained a large territory in the suburbs of Heracles City State south of Dream Flying Si, and the residents of the territory all became his slaves.

  This was not just due to his military prowess, but because he had undoubtedly received the favor of the gods, not through some symbol, but with Horus appearing directly on the battlefield. The pharaoh had to reward Amun greatly, whose rank already exceeded that of a normal city lord. But in doing so, Amun also fell into the predicament of being bound by the glory of the gods, and he could only win in battle, unless he died on the battlefield, otherwise he would not be allowed to retreat, let alone fail.

  He didn't have the luxury to worry about these things, and on the night he returned from the battlefield, he ordered everyone not to disturb him, and sat quietly under the starry sky in the backyard of his residence, meditating. Having witnessed the miracles displayed by Horus, and the divine form shown by Gilgamesh, especially the sword that Enkidu cut towards the Griffin, something deep within his soul was stirred, and a thread of epiphany seemed to be on the verge of being grasped, yet still hazy and unclear.
