Chapitre 743: Chapter 507 Hardcore Tough Guy Steals Ship Plan_1
Egyptian mythology, a mythological system not well known in modern times. Although the specific details are rarely mention, many of its characters, such as Anubis, are renowned.
Many Egyptian gods often appear in games, but many people do not realize they are from the Egyptian pantheon. Actually, the best way to identify these characters is to see if they have animal heads or represent a natural phenomenon.
Egyptian gods are mainly divided into two categories: those born from natural phenomena, such as the sun god, wind god, fire god, moon god, etc.; and animal gods, such as the scarab, leopard, lion, vulture, etc.
Additionally, the mummy, which is well-known to many, has an inseparable relationship with Egyptian mythology. Shiller drew inspiration from the widely known background story of the mummy and conceived this daring death plan.
Many people may have heard of mummies, and some have even seen them in museums. However, this miraculous culture originates from the Egyptian mythology's understanding of death.
The people of ancient Egypt believed that the body was merely a vessel for the soul. After death, the soul, under the influence of divine power, went to the netherworld. However, they still had a chance for resurrection. If the soul returned from the netherworld, it must have a good vessel for revival.
Thus, the ancient Egyptians preserved the bodies of the deceased by mummification in the hope that their souls could return from the netherworld and be resurrected.
In terms of understanding death, the ancient civilizations of Egypt and China, separated by thousands of miles, have remarkably similar views. They both believe that the dead will go to a magical world where they will still receive offerings. Therefore, the living must build luxury tombs and offer funeral goods to ensure a good life in the other world.
Hence, we have the pyramids of the Egyptian pharaohs and the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.
However, Shiller, who is in the Marvel world, knows that in this world, mythology is more than just a myth, more than just empty talk. There are actual gods here, so there should also be a netherworld.
However, he is also aware that in this world where five great creator gods of death exist, all beings should ultimately go to the realm of death. To resurrect, they must use special power.
One well-known example is Valhalla in Asgard. The gods of Asgard will go to Valhalla after death and may be resurrected from there.
After asking Loki, Shiller learned that Odin could resurrect warriors from Valhalla because he had made a deal with Death.
The countless killings and deaths caused by Odin's wars in the cosmos does not bother Death. Death doesn't mind him resurrecting a small portion of people to kill even more. Despite this, Odin needs to expend a lot of energy to fully resurrect a god.
So, how could the relatively obscure Egyptian gods in the Nine Realms casually resurrect their followers?
Shiller once asked Khonsu this question, but he didn't give an answer. Of course, Shiller understood that Khonsu had no duty to answer every question for his followers. So, Shiller decided to explore the answer to this question himself.
However, there was no trace of where the netherworld was. If one wanted to go in, they must use special methods.
Shiller happened to know of a method that would allow him to enter the netherworld — to replicate the experience of the Moon Knight from the Moon Knight TV series.
In the television series of the Moon Knight, the Moon Knight was killed by Arthur, a follower of Amit. Thus, the two personalities in Moon Knight's body went to the netherworld and successfully left the netherworld. They resurrected in reality.
After the battle in the small town, Shiller took the scarab off Mark during the interval of his personality switch. On the drive from the small town to the Deao Border, Shiller had noticed Arthur waking up but didn't expose him. Instead, Shiller intentionally left the scarab he got from Mark on the seat.
Sure enough, after Arthur took the scarab, he used the power Amit had left, went to the seal, and released Amit.
Amit gave Arthur power so he could seek revenge on Shiller and Mark. As the purple thunder constituted by Amit's power fell, Shiller withdrew all defense, allowing the divine power of Amit to kill his flesh.
In fact, with the gray mist, Amit's divine power wasn't enough to destroy Shiller's flesh. But Shiller had the gray mist hold back, simulating a state of clinical death with a stopped heartbeat and breath, thus allowing his soul to be drawn to the boat where the Moon Knight in the TV series went.
This part of the TV series was also interesting. After death, split-personality Moon Knight Mark had a bizarre dream. Mark dreamed that he came to a mental hospital where the chief doctor was Arthur, the one who killed him. Arthur told him that he had always been a psychiatric patient, and everything about being a mercenary or archaeologist was his illusions during his illness.
What interested Shiller the most was that in this psychic battlefield, Mark's two personalities appeared as separate individuals. When they came to the boat, they were also two different people.
This was indeed strange. If the netherworld truly existed, then only one soul of Mark, who was brought over, should exist. Even if he split into two personalities, there should only be one soul. Yet, on the boat, there were Mark and his other personality, Steven.
Based on this, Shiller speculated that this so-called netherworld was similar to the Dreamworld in the DC world, a world connected to the human consciousness.
Since Mark could board the ship with his two personalities, then by the same logic, Shiller should also be able to board the ship with his numerous personalities. And this ship could sail in the Dreamworld.
After hearing Shiller's story, Mark was very confused. He took a deep breath, sighed, and then said, "I really don't know whether to say you're exploratory or outright mad."
"Just for an elusive assumption, you dared to let yourself die. Have you ever thought that if this is all the illusion produced by your mental illness, you would really die."
"Are you afraid of death?" asked Shiller.
"Aren't you?" Mark countered, then he paused for a moment and said, "Oh, right, indeed, every KGB agent I've met wasn't afraid of death."
"Essentially, it's a confidence in my professional skills. In the areas of Dissociative Identity Disorder, mental and conscious worlds, dreams and so on, my research level is pretty good," said Shiller, as he walked to the edge of the ship.
Even as the ship moves forward at full speed, the sand sea beneath it is getting thinner and the skulls that were tumbling up and down are getting fewer and fewer.
Mark reaches out his hand and looks up at the sky. He finds that the previously clear and bright stars are becoming blurred. A breeze brushes over his fingertips, along with an almost imperceptible white mist.
Mark turns his head in a panic and then he sees a huge ship heading into dense white fog, its hull enveloped by the thick mist like a boat floating on a sea of clouds. Mark looks down below the ship, there is no sand sea anymore, but nothing, as if the whole ship is floating in mid-air.
"Woo—woo—"
The deep horn is blown, the mast rattles, the sails are set, Mark sees layers of sails getting blown up by the invisible wind, their full curve resembling several rising crescent moons.
He walks forward and asks Shiller, "Where are you taking it?"
"I'm going to pick up a friend of mine, then show him the scenery beyond the common dreams." Shiller smiles, then replies.
"What about resurrection? Don't you want to resurrect anymore?" Mark apparently can't accept the fact that he is dead, he looks very agitated, full of worries.
"As you've said, the KGB isn't afraid of death." Seeing Mark getting angry, Shiller looks back at him. Just as Mark is about to speak, he sees the young Shiller behind white-robed Shiller slowly raising his umbrella knife to him.
Shiller smiles and asks, "Are you still afraid of death now?"
Mark swallows his saliva, looking at the cold glow on the blade of the umbrella knife, he takes a step back and shakes his head vigorously.
The large ship sails in the white fog. With the surrounding view remaining completely unchanged, it is hard to tell how fast the ship is flying. Jack and Shiller stand at the bow of the ship, Jack asks, "What do you plan to name this ship?"
"Flying Deity, what do you think?"
"No, I'd rather call it the Flying Ship, why does it have to involve a deity?"
"I... Oh, we've arrived." Just as Shiller was about to answer Jack's question, he saw the shadow of a building in the dense fog. He ordered the crew to drop the sails and let the huge ship slowly descend.
The building's outline became clearer as the ship descended. The first thing that appeared in the view was a Gothic spire, and looking down, it looked like a British school?
Standing at the entrance of the Dreamland School, Charles opened his mouth wide in shock, as the massive shadow of the ship descended slowly.
Just a few minutes ago, he was still puzzling in his office in the real world about why Shiller asked him to dream. Now he knows why, because he saw Shiller standing at the bow of the ship.
The ship was even larger after touching the ground than when Charles saw it from the sky. It was larger than any ship he had ever seen. It was more than a sailing ship; it is more like a flying aircraft carrier in the guise of a sailboat.
"My God, what is this thing?! Am I seeing it wrong? Is that the sun pattern from the Egyptian tombs??"
"Professor, you truly never fail to amaze. You're the most discerning person I've ever met." Shiller walks down from the ship, shakes hands with Charles, and sincerely praises him.
"After the Tower of Babel, you built an Egyptian ship in the dream?" Charles asked puzzled, "Or have your personalities become too much to handle?"
"You misunderstand." Shiller turns to look at the ship, then turns back to Charles, "I didn't build it. I don't have such skills. The story is complex, but in short..."
Shiller turns back and points at the ship, "This is a gift of nature."
"Okay, I understand. You don't have to say any more." Charles immediately says, apparently, from working with these people of the Luminous Alliance, he knows their style and understands that asking too many questions runs the risk of lowering his own moral standards.
"So, what did you come to find me for?" Charles asks.
"Professor, since many young mutants have traveled to the Fairy System Nebula for space colonization, it's quite difficult to get them back to class due to the great distance, isn't it?"
Upon hearing Shiller mention this issue, Charles nods and says with some helplessness, "Even though I can connect with them here, I can't get their consciousness bodies back here for class."
"As I mentioned before, mental connections are actually related to brain waves. And brain waves are bound by physical distance. If I'm too far away from them physically, then the signal will be bad."
"Exactly, I always believe that mutant education is of the utmost importance. If it's interfered with by internships, then that's putting the cart before the horse."
"Even amidst poverty, one must never be poor in education. For the shared future of humans and mutants, I hope this boat, capable of sailing in dreams, becomes a school bus for mutants. A Noah's Ark for them to ride the wind and waves on the sea of knowledge..."
