Chapter 338 - 335 Princess, Do You Think I\'m Suitable?

The tomb of Princess Ahmanet in Egypt was actually a huge underground cave.

It wasn\'t as magnificent and large as a Pharaoh\'s pyramid. Rather it was very gloomy and horrible.

Luke entered first, followed by Dr. Henry and his \'archaeological team\'.

Lucian, the werewolf, and his compatriots had now become dispensable and unimportant.

Because of Superman\'s existence, the magical journey that was originally frightful and full of dangers was turning into an outing and a leisurely trip.

Everyone looked relaxed as they slipped down the strong nylon rope.

The hollow underground chamber was filled with the sound of the wind, emitting a shrill howl like a wolf\'s cry.

"Mercury …"

Dr. Henry followed Luke as if he felt safer this way.

A muddy drop of liquid hit his shoulder, slid down, and rolled onto his palm.

Just as Emperor Qin\'s tomb used mercury to simulate rivers and lakes, the ancient Egyptians also used this chemical element called \'mercury\' extensively to build their tombs.

In their perception, mercury could suppress the souls of the dead and also serve as a means to prevent tomb raiders from breaking in.

Because it was a neurotoxin, it could damage the brain and nerve system.

Many tomb-raiding teams who entered a Pharaoh\'s mausoleum and accidentally inhaled too much mercury vapor would go insane and die of madness.

This was also the reason for the frightening rumors such as \'Pharaoh\'s curse\' and \'evil spirits\'.

In that ignorant era, people often attached mysterious and grotesque explanations to unknown things they didn\'t understand.

"Mercury drips from above and then falls into these holes."

Dr. Henry turned his flashlight to the ground. At regular intervals, a square hole similar to the entrance of a sewer was arranged.

"This means that there\'s a complete pipeline system in the tomb of the Egyptian Princess. We can follow it to find the sarcophagus."

The corners of Luke\'s mouth twitched slightly as he listened, thinking that Prodigium was a tomb raiding organization with extensive experience in committing crimes.

Those archaeological team members who came with him -- some were arranging lighting equipment, while some explored the terrain.

It seemed that it wasn\'t their first time committing grave robbery in the name of archaeology.

Even more shameful was that according to Dr. Henry, their harvest would eventually be turned over to the country and placed in the Natural History Museum of London -- a place that originally belonged to Prodigium.

It was the same as insider trading!

Luke could not help but feel that in terms of shamelessness or capitalism, they had a good method.

"This is the antechamber of the tomb, where Ahmanet\'s mummified body is located."

For a while, he studied the huge statues and simple paintings that had a primitive touch.

Dr. Henry rubbed his hands and pointed to a black hole.

He had a hunch that this was a big discovery.

Luke\'s vision, unaffected by the environment, scanned through the thick rocks to determine the exact location of the Egyptian Princess\'s sarcophagus.

"Do you have the Dagger of Set?"

He turned his head and asked.

That was a key item.

As an ordained Sorcerer Supreme, Luke\'s knowledge of magic wasn\'t too bad. He knew a little about the application and execution of contractual spells and transfer rituals.

Set signed a contract with the Egyptian Princess Ahmanet, and the ruby-encrusted dagger was an important medium.

One only needed to choose the right body and then stab the dagger into the body.

Set, the God of Death could be brought to life in a human body and still retain his full divine power.

This was an opportunistic way to bypass the rules of the material world. In Luke\'s recollection, the old devil Mephisto had done something similar.

The latter united with a mortal and gave birth to an heir.

Then, by taking possession of that body and switching from a father to a son, he was able to use the full power of a Hell Lord in the material world.

Otherwise, every time he came to the human world, he would be suppressed by the rules.

"We found the gem. It fell into the hands of the Crusaders and was later placed in a casket as a funerary object."

Henry replied.

"During the Crusades, they invaded Egypt. Perhaps, they got the ruby at that time."

If Prodigium hadn\'t discovered the ruby and found some clues about the Egyptian Princess…

Dr. Henry wouldn\'t have launched this expedition, asking the werewolves to act as bodyguards, leading to the series of subsequent events.

Luke frowned and continued, "So, only Ahmanet herself knows where the dagger is?"

Dr. Henry nodded; otherwise, he wouldn\'t even think of unsealing the Egyptian Princess\'s sarcophagus.

Only when the dagger and the ruby were combined could the final ritual be completed.

Fighting monsters with monsters was the policy that Prodigium was founded on.

If they could study the power of death or control Ahmanet, they could use it for themselves.

Prodigium had taken a big step on the road to darkness.

What?

Consequences?

We couldn\'t expect a senior with serious psychological problems and an evil personality to make a wise decision.

"From the structure of the tomb, we can assume that Ahmanet was imprisoned here as a sinner."

"A large amount of mercury was poured over the opening of the shaft, suppressing her soul and preventing her from resting in peace or being reincarnated for eternity."

"Generally speaking, where the sarcophagus is located, there should be a dog-headed guardian to warn intruders."

"The six guardians were looking at the mercury shaft to suppress the dead mummy, nothing else."

Dr. Henry, in his customary academic style, concluded, "Underneath, there\'s an evil spirit that had suffered a thousand years of darkness, torment, and resentment."

The Prodigium crew heard this and moved closer to Luke\'s position.

The latter acted as usual. He had been to Hell and bargained with the old devil.

If any evil spirits and demons appeared in front of them, he could instantly send out a set of demon removal spells and send them on their way.

"Take out the sarcophagus."

Luke ordered.

Dr. Henry observed for a while and found the opening mechanism.

Rumble rumble!

With a violent sound, the underground cave started shaking.

A bronze sarcophagus slowly rose and was pulled out of the mercury well by some chains.

Then came the densely packed camel spiders, which felt strange, as they moved like a layer of black \'carpet\' covering the rock walls.

"Fortunately, they aren\'t scarabs."

Luke curled his lips. \'Those things were the standard for Egyptian tombs.\'

The bio-force field suddenly opened up and isolated the camel spiders that were crawling over.

"Get a helicopter and pull the sarcophagus up."

Dr. Henry deserved to be a senior member of Prodigium. He was able to get a helicopter in Iraq in no time.

After thousands of years of darkness, the sarcophagus used to seal Ahmanet was finally revealed.

Large flocks of crows hovered in mid-air, seemingly attracted by some mysterious force, like a gathering of dark clouds.

"Set\'s power is beginning to show."

Dr. Henry looked solemn. The crow was a symbol of death and a messenger of death.

"Ahmanet completed the summoning ritual and signed the contract, so she has immortality and can only be sealed."

"It looks like it won\'t be long before she comes back to life."

Luke didn\'t care.

Not to mention the dead Egyptian Princess, even if Set appeared in front of him, it wasn\'t a threat.

The strength of those Egyptian gods was probably similar to those dimensional demons.

What Luke was actually interested in was the conceptual power of \'Death\'.

Although Set was only the God of Death of Egypt, he couldn\'t control other boundaries.

Asgard, Olympus, Heaven, Hell, all had nothing to do with him.

But getting that power was equivalent to having a part of Death\'s authority.

"I wish she could wake up sooner and lead me to the dagger."

Luke saw yellow sand on the horizon and heavy smoke rolling in.

A huge sandstorm was coming for the helicopter.

Set, seemingly unable to come down, wanted to stop Prodigium from taking away the sarcophagus of the Egyptian Princess Ahmanet.

"General, Sir, then I will return to London."

Dr. Henry glanced at the coffin and felt a little worried.

They landed at a nearby airport where a transport plane was ready to take off.

Luke was about to nod when the rusty sarcophagus with its coils of chains shook violently.

The sharp sound of fingernails scratching abruptly sounded.

In the distance, one could also hear a woman\'s crying and shouting voice.

"Leave him alone."

An archaeological team member with empty eyes leaned toward the coffin-like a puppet, and Luke stopped Dr. Henry.

The latter was thinking of bringing Ahmanet back to London, then conducting research to find out the dagger\'s whereabouts.

But in Luke\'s opinion, it was all the same.

Waking up the Egyptian Princess as soon as possible seemed to be a little less work.

The archaeological team members near the sarcophagus appeared to have fallen into a hallucination and were deprived of their consciousness.

They uttered awkward, odd syllables and sliced through the dark chains that were wrapped around the coffin.

The large murder of crows hovering in the sky was like thick clouds covering the sky, blocking the blazing sunlight overhead.

A withered hand grabbed the edge of the coffin.

The slender figure, wrapped in tattered cloth, slowly sat up.

The mummified Egyptian Princess, Ahmanet, came to life.

She turned her head somewhat mechanically, the pair of dark eyes staring at the people there.

Before Ahmanet could say anything to create a more frightening mood, Luke said, " Princess, do you think I am suitable?"

"Can you be the God of Death, Set\'s, human form?"

…
