Chapter 49 The world is changing

1334 BC

The ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaton secretly went out alone after observing the astronomical phenomena at night, and was discovered by a farmer in the early morning of the next day. Akhenaton suddenly died in the wilderness and his body was separated. According to the priests of the dynasty, it was a stormy night. It is impossible to see the stars. The cause of Pharaoh's death must be controlled by mysterious forces.

In the same year, Akhenaten's son, Tutankhamun, succeeded to the throne. This pharaoh showed his ability to govern the country at the age of nine. During his reign, he modified the belief system of his father, Pharaoh Akhenaten, and included the worship of gods. He changed the god Aten back to the god Amun, and regarded Pharaoh Akhenaten as a sinner in Egyptian history. Some people think that his decision was due to the pressure from the old believers, or maybe the pressure from the people in power, but The real reason is only known to Tutankhamun himself. In the Pharaoh's secret chamber, he has always kept a golden badge. The pattern on it is a symbol that has never appeared in Egypt, an inverted triangle and seven eyes.

1193 BC

The Trojan War broke out. The Greek army led by Achilles and Agamemnon launched a massive attack on Troy led by Paris and Hector, starting a ten-year siege. The common goal of both sides was a famous man. A woman named Helen. It is said that this woman was born to Zeus and Queen Leda of Sparta. She was born with divine power. She could exert countless powers and was given by God the ability to imitate any woman. But what people didn't know was that Helen was cruel by nature. Insatiable and bloodthirsty, under her secret rule, the Trojan people were influenced by magic and brainwashed on a large scale, so a siege war turned into a war against the evil witch.

But at the final moment of the decisive battle, Helen cast a forbidden spell and tried to drag the dark dimension into the earth. Affected by the powerful magic, the supply of divine power received by the Greek heroes from Zeus was cut off. Although the Greek heroes once soaked their bodies in the River Styx, Achilles resisted bravely and fought his way into Troy with his immortal body, but in the end Helen found the weakness in his ankle and used evil parasitic magic to kill the nearly invincible warrior.

Just when the heroes were desperate, two strangers dressed in strange clothes strolled into the battlefield, seemingly not taking the serious situation at hand seriously. They were a man and a woman. The man had gray-blue skin and the tall horse covered a few parts of his body. The woman had black hair and black clothes. She was thin, but her temperament was calm but dangerous. They were Apocalypse and Selene. Just as Odysseus was about to step forward to question, he saw the strange man spread out his dark blue hands. Colorful energy waves shot into the newly opened dimensional door. He squeezed inward with both hands, and the energy scattered in the door was absorbed bit by bit.

Afterwards, black mist filled the hands of the woman beside him, and an inexplicable force carved out a seven-pointed star array under her feet. Standing in the array, the woman waved her hands, and the black smoke shattered the real space, expanding like a mirror-like wall. , covering the entire battlefield including the city of Troy.

Seeing this, Helen shouted, "Witch, everything in this world will belong to Lord Dormammu, I will not allow you to organize me."

"Dormammu." Selene raised her lips, "He is indeed on our list." She held up the bracelet to absorb the huge life energy. Even the dead bodies on the battlefield had blue souls entering her body, filling her body with energy. The electric Selene grows to about ten meters in size and her skin is crystal blue. This is the new form she has been developing, the "God of Souls".

"The dimensional magic that adults have been asking me to learn can finally be put to use now."

Selene summoned the Dark God Book in her hand. Only in the form of "god" could she use this book with confidence. She opened the book and read the spell on it, and in an instant, another wave of black magic filled the entire space.

Feeling the power in it, Helen was surprised to find that this magic power far exceeded Dormammu. With Selene's thoughts, the dimension door was closed little by little, Helen's magic power was cut off, and the magic shield shrouded the sky over Troy. It just disappeared.

"You...what have you done?" Helen followed the spit with fear in her eyes.

"You disturbed the gatekeeper, stupid girl. Even if you use black magic, you shouldn't summon Dormammu. Remember, someone is watching this world, but I guess you won't have the chance to remember it."

Selene turned and left. Without waiting for Helen's reaction, Apocalypse beside her clenched her right hand, and countless stone thorns stretched out from the ground and tore Helen into pieces.

"Don't mention this to anyone. Just find any excuse, like you used Trojan horses to install soldiers to attack the city. You should be able to understand this rule. Heroes, there are some things that are better not to be known to ordinary people."

After Selene gave instructions to Odysseus and Agamemnon, she and Apocalypse teleported away from the space gate.

"Do you... do you know who they are?" Odysseus stuttered, "No, I don't know. From her tone, she should belong to some mysterious organization."

“There are so many things in this world that we don’t know yet.”

"do not know."

August 30, 8 BC

A dark and heavy atmosphere pressed on everyone's heart. Electric snakes and dark clouds danced, roaring on everyone's nerves. Today an empire fell, and today a new king rose.

The Egyptian dungeon, unlike other places, has no damp water stains or scurrying rats. The room is magnificent, with a large bed in the center. The last pharaoh of the Ptolemaic dynasty, Queen Cleopatra, is imprisoned here. Petra VII, later known as Cleopatra.

"Tatatata", accompanied by heavy steps, two groups of aggressive soldiers entered the cell. Surrounded by this imposing man, he was the first emperor of the Roman Empire, Gaius Octavian Augustus. .

"Legendary queen, so many kings have fallen under your skirt, including the two Roman monarchs, and even the great Caesar." Octavian touched her face, "This face has never changed, but It is too late, your king, no one can protect you now from your tomb, and tomorrow you will be paraded through the streets and executed in front of your Egyptians.”

"No, Octavian, you can't do this, you can't insult me ​​like this. For the sake of the past, even if you annex Egypt, you won't reach this point. Please..." Cleopatra bitterly He begged but Octavian was unmoved, "There is nothing to talk about anymore, queen, this is the cruelty of royal power. You must understand it very well, just like your brother. Stop pretending, you can't deceive me." "

"Humph," the Queen snorted coldly, and then sat on the edge of the bed. Her expression was no longer panic, but calm and desperate, "I have guessed it a long time ago, I just want to struggle."

Will the queen accept the insult so calmly? No, no, she is Cleopatra VII, the queen of Egypt. She guessed this day not long ago, so she studied many suicide methods. It is really sad. Choice, but she must do this, someone will bring the fruit with the poisonous snake tonight, and she will never be executed.

Octavian locked the door tightly, and before leaving, he took one last look at the seductive queen, "This is the end of the Ptolemaic dynasty."

But at this moment, the temperature of the air suddenly dropped, and the summer night suddenly returned to winter temperatures. The cold air spread from the legs to the heart. "You can kill anyone, Octavian, but she cannot die."

A low, deep voice lingered in everyone's ears, like a devil's whisper, and a terrifying scene occurred. The red and black mist gathered from all directions to the center of the cell, and then stood beside each soldier, condensing into a human figure. The vampires have arrived.

"Who are you"

Octavian and his soldiers quickly drew their swords and pointed them at these uninvited guests, "tell them by name."

"You are not qualified yet, human king," Aldridge said with a smile. He held Octavian's sword between his two fingers and crossed it up and down easily. The sword that had been with Octavian for many years broke.

The dagger was like a signal, and the vampires standing around the soldiers quickly disarmed the soldiers and subdued them.

"What do you want to do?" Octavian barely controlled his excitement. He tried to think calmly. Is this person here to steal my empire? Or is he Cleopatra's last resort?

"Don't think too much," Aldridge looked at Octavian's shocked eyes, "I have seen the rise of countless empires, and I have also seen the fall of the most glorious empires. I am not interested in your country's territory because it In the end, it will only be a moment in my life, I just want to take her away, the rest is up to you," Aldridge pointed at Cleopatra and said, at this time, the queen was also full of doubts, she was very sure I have never invited these unimaginable creatures.

"No, it's impossible. Tomorrow she..." Before Octavian could finish speaking, Aldridge grabbed his neck. "Did I say I asked for your opinion? Or did you think you were outside?" The army can resist us. Let’s not talk about whether they can save you in my hands. From my personal point of view, those more than a thousand people can’t even touch the door.”

Shaking Octavian aside casually, Aldridge ignored him and walked straight to the cell. The three-finger-thick iron bars were like soft plasticine in his hands. He pulled them open and said, "You are such a lucky girl. ,Queen."

Seeing that Cleopatra still hadn't figured out the situation, Aldridge continued to explain, "You didn't know that the Ptolemaic dynasty was going to be secret in the end, right?"

"Secret, what secret, who are you?" The queen looked at the vampires. She had never heard of Ptolemy having such a mysterious army.

"Oh, that secret is about your bloodline, queen. You are the last pharaoh of the Ptolemaic dynasty. Because of an ancient existence, we cannot let Ptolemy disappear completely. You are the last seed of the dynasty, although you are It has nothing to do with him, but it is still nominally his descendant. His bloodline must not disappear, but there is bad news. Your children are not within the scope of our service, because part of them already belongs to Rome. "Aldridge spread his hands.

"An...an ancient being"

"That's right," Aldridge nodded, "an ancient and taboo existence. No one can know his name, but maybe you can be excluded. So, Her Majesty, are you ready to accept the protection of your ancestors?"

The queen was silent. She nodded her head and acquiesced to the matter. As for her child, the other party's attitude seemed to have nothing to talk about. What made her more curious was who the legendary ancestor was.

"By the way," the Queen paused, "What will happen to Egypt? Can you..."

"It's impossible. As long as we don't violate the regulations, we will never interfere with the change of political power. The change of the king's flag on the top of the city means nothing to us. You will understand."

"Okay." The Queen took a deep breath and followed Aldridge out of the dungeon. Before leaving, Aldridge looked at Octavian and said, "Look for an excuse. Don't expose this matter. Just tell the Queen You committed suicide tonight. Don't try to leak the secret, otherwise the empire you have built over the years will be destroyed overnight. I think you are a smart person and will not try this, right?"

Aldridge's eyes turned red, and the blood vessels around his eyes bulged ferociously, "You have no idea what you are fighting against."

After that, the vampires left, leaving only a king with trembling hands and dozens of soldiers with broken spines in the dungeon.

The next day, the Roman Empire announced a shocking news. Queen Cleopatra of Egypt committed suicide in her cell last night. The cause of death was a poisonous snake bite.

A grand and spectacular underground city unfolded before Cleopatra's eyes

"Welcome to Seele, you will get used to it, Queen."
