5th Rated God - Volume 1 Chapter 44 Suspicious..
After healing the little turkey Ra ,still had to reine in the situation. He knew not why of the presence of Set, but he is bound to have some ploy in mind. Smiling Ra pushed the little turkey towards Isis. When his eyes landed on her she could do nothing but hid her shame. She quickly retrieves her Little Sun within her arm and backs away into the crowd.
Shortly after that Set tries to gain back his momentum.”I implore you again! We can’t let the other realms keep trampling on our territory! We have been too passive for too long!”, Set faces the supreme deity and the rest of the crowd.
While many knew that war has done much damage to their realm and they were exhausted, they first have to mend themselves and defend pasivly, they felt secretly stifled inside. Currently the ground they held was slowly being occupied by the Norse god, Loki and his faction and their mortal enemy the Japanese goddess, Amaterasu!
As legend has it, the 2 hegemon gods had a very similar position in their relme. As gods known to be from the primordial beginning, they were also leaders of their realm and reside over the sun. As gods they had their own pride and were fiercely competitive especially from other realms, naturally hearing of another god who rules over the sun, both Ra and Amaterasu became extremely competitive with one another.
Ever since he was tricked by Isis and addicted to his throne, it became known to Amaterasu she started to slander him with no mercy! With such a god sent chance why not send her bitter rival to hell? Not only was he tricked by the bastard children he fordabe to be born (ill get into to that later), shortly after relinquishing his throne, civil war erupted in his realm shortly after! Not to mention it was between Set and Horus, who he never wanted to be born in the first place! It was endless humiliation for him!
When the smug goddess mentioned this in the daily gathering of the sun god event, he was so furious that he emitted a light so bright that even the other sun affiliated gods were blinded. Not willing to be out done, Amaterasu engaged in a shining contest over who had a bigger flashlight with him. Their little battle blinded several other deities for months.
Thus it is to this day that Amaterasu and Ra quraled whenever they see each other.
Basset sneered within. “This bastard only thinks what will benefit him!” She believed that her lord would not agree to such an outrage.
This was not the first time he tried to convice Ra.
The atrocities of war are a great benefit towards an evil god. He could use the chance to breed misery and fear, and all that animosity is usually directed at Set, supplying him with faith. As a god hailed to be evil, he was bound to be hated, so he cares not for the mortals, unlike the righteous gods of Horus and Isis. one wrong move he would gain to much power and just might steal the throne once again!
“Set. surely we have a chance at winning if we bet on your powers but”
“WHY SHOULD WE?”, Ra’s chilling words at the end had a hidden meaning. If they really did go to war the chaos and evil will overflow and the one who benefits the most will undoubtedly be Set. Under no circ.u.mstance should he be in control. While Set is not totally innately evil he would not make a good ruler as his rien from before was already proof of how much of a tyrant he is.
He had a vital role to control certain laws and forces of the world, so he can’t kill him either. Some gods must take care of the water, or the land, but the most unappealing position to take care of is something as negative as chaos, evil, and other forces. If he did not, all the power might go to that dame snake he always fights.
“No worries, no worries, I am a fair person”, Set smiles.
Nobody believed him.
“I promise on my hidden name that I will share my faith equally”, however at that statement all the gods gasped with surprise.
The true name of a god in the Egytian realm holds great meaning. Once told they can be commanded by anyone who knows the name. In fact legend has it Isis poisoned Ra and tricked him into telling her his name to cure her and then forced his to give up his throne. Shortly after her hasty craving for power, karma snapped back at her like a b*tch as Set killed her husband and took over and her plan was all for nothing.
While Ra was retired after Isis forced him to edict he still holds a lot of power and Set had to convice him for his plan to work…
“Look at the faith I have amassed! This is the profit of WAR!!! Join me brother and sisters!”, suddenly a thick red mist overflowed from his devilish body.
It was faith! It infused throughout the room and this generous offer of his made many gods tempted. Many didn’t think he would be this generous and greedy absorbed it. After all the war they were engaged in, left them severely depleted.
“I’m not the only one who agrees.”, said Set confidently, as several figures started to gather near him.
“That’s Babi, the fierce baboon god!”
“Look it’s, Serqet, the feared scorpion goddess!”
“Shesmu, the god of wine! Legend has it that he likes to pickle evil mortals’ heads in wine!”
Many of the deities remembered these big shots and clamored in discussion. They quickly activated their Thoth system and amazingly saw their faith values.
“Oh my Ra! They each have a billion faith points!”
“How did they get so much, they are only second class gods!?”
Many asked how they get so many faith points, but he merely laughed softly.
“My lord, for you!”, Set politely pushed a ball of faith towards Ra and he gently absorbed it. In fact Ra slightly sighed in satisfaction, his daily battle with the stupid snake took alot out of him. That amount of faith Set lended was impressive even in the opinion of Ra, but there seemed to be something suspicious in the faith, but nobody noticed it. (dun, dun, dun!)
As Set watched the foolish, power hungry gods absorb the faith, his canine face had a slight grin, but his face was so ugly, nobody noticed.
Set: …..
Horus and Isis along along with a few other gods were smart enough had refused to take anything from him. Just what was he up to?
