21st Century Necromancer

Slashing off the jackal head of the Statue of Anubis and pulling out the spear thrust into the chest of the Statue of Horus, only then did the Angel Statue controlled by Chen Yu cease its battle.

At this moment, the battle among the three giant statues had ended, concluding with Chen Yu's victory.

The Statue of Anubis had its head severed by him, and the Statue of Horus had its chest pierced by his spear. Although the two giant statues from Ancient Egypt still had residual Divine Power and tried to struggle, they were already beyond saving.

However, the Angel Statue had also suffered; fighting against two, its wing was pierced by the spear in the Statue of Anubis' hand, its Shield was knocked away by the Statue of Horus, and its surface was severely damaged.

Nevertheless, the victory still belonged to Chen Yu.

"Profaner! You cannot defile the Shin'i of Osiris!" The Statue of Horus, with a pierced chest, uttered its final words, reaching out to grasp the Angel Statue.

But with its chest pierced, the Statue of Horus could no longer pose any threat to the Angel Statue. Chen Yu detached himself from the Angel Statue's body, appearing on its top, looking down at the struggling Statue of Horus. His gaze carried a sense of reflection, along with a hint of disdain that he himself didn't notice.

"Why make a fool of yourself with futile struggles, just remnants of the past?" Chen Yu lamented, controlling the Angel Statue to withdraw the spear from the Statue of Horus, and reversed it into the chest of the decapitated yet struggling Statue of Anubis, destroying its internal core.

For such giant statues, the head is not the vital point; it is the core inside.

Although severing the head could inflict severe damage, to completely destroy it, the core must be ruined.

With Chen Yu's actions, the two giant statues finally lost their last breath of life and collapsed entirely onto the ground.

Chen Yu shook his head without saying much, leaving the Angel Statue there as a precaution. He withdrew the summon of the Nether River's power, allowing the Waters of the Nether River to recede, before jumping down from the Angel Statue and heading towards the Temple of Osiris in front.

During the prior battle, the two giant statues constantly diverted their attention to protect the temple behind them from artillery, providing Chen Yu with ample opportunities to defeat them. Hence, the temple remained unharmed, unlike the square in front, which was reduced to ruins.

Reentering the temple, there were no changes compared to before. The stone coffin of Osiris was still placed at the center, surrounded by exquisite burial goods.

Yet, looking at the stone coffin containing the corpse of Osiris, Chen Yu unexpectedly sighed for some reason.

This is probably the last deity of Ancient Egypt, and a deceased one at that. The other deities of Ancient Egypt have presumably long fallen, right?

Ancient Egyptian mythology is very peculiar, as during its later stages, God Ra, as the Supreme God, replaced or integrated almost all other deities, nearly shifting Ancient Egyptian Pantheon from polytheism to monotheism.

Chen Yu did not know what exactly happened during that era, but observing the state of several deities in this temple, he could roughly infer the current state of the Ancient Egyptian Pantheon.

The Underworld King Osiris lay in the coffin awaiting resurrection, Anubis had only a wisp of Divinity possessing a statue, while Horus had none at all. The Horus statue earlier was entirely being driven by Anubis's Divinity accumulating Divine Power within the statue.

If these deities were present, such situations would certainly not occur.

Anubis could directly perform Divine Descent with that wisp of Divinity, unleashing the true power of a deity, instead of merely relying on that wisp to drive the two giant statues.

If Anubis had truly descended in essence, there was no way Chen Yu would have easily won one against two.

As for Horus, as the son of Osiris, having not a trace of Divinity here is inexplicable, which can only prove that he was entirely annihilated or devoured by other deities, with no remnant of Divinity left.

Even the three most prominent and widely worshiped deities among the Nine Pillar Gods are in such states, the fate of the Ancient Egyptian Pantheon can be imagined.

However, Chen Yu wasn't here for archaeology. Knowing that the Ancient Egyptian Pantheon was essentially extinct, even if he emptied the Temple of Osiris, as long as he didn't trigger the resurrection of Osiris, there was no need to worry about any ancient Egyptian deity troubling him.

With this in mind, Chen Yu once again summoned soldiers from the Undead Legion to continue their unfinished task from before.

Only this time, as they lifted those burial goods, no person or god came to stop them anymore.

Although the burial goods were still shrouded with the residual Divine Power of Osiris, the Divine Power was completely inactive, dead, and unresponsive. Even as the soldiers of the Undead Legion emptied the entire temple, leaving only the stone coffin of Osiris, the Divine Power in the temple showed no further reaction.

Gazing at the emptied temple and the stone coffin remaining inside, Chen Yu approached the coffin again, somewhat expectant and excited, and said, "Now, the stone coffin is all that's left."

At this time, Major General Claire also reentered the temple. Looking at the stone coffin before her, although she knew it was probably the greatest reward from their journey to the Garden of Osiris, she dared not discuss the ownership of the stone coffin with Chen Yu at all.

Joking aside, outside on the square were swarms of Undead Legion soldiers and seven Ship-girls of Demigod Level. Major General Claire did not intend to battle them.

"Sir Chen Yu, how do you plan to handle this stone coffin?" Major General Claire inquired of Chen Yu upon reaching him.

"No hurry, this stone coffin sustains the existence of the entire Garden of Osiris. We should leave it till last. Empty this place first," Chen Yu, seeing the temple's contents already moved out, explained to Major General Claire while telling her: "General, you can have my soldiers help open those tombs; the findings are all yours."

"Those tombs? Can we really? Thank you so much, Sir Chen Yu!" Major General Claire had thought she'd return empty-handed this time, but Chen Yu's promise filled her with overjoyed surprise.

Although the contents of those tombs might not match Chen Yu's haul from the temple, considering she had only subdued a resurrected Pharaoh to seize a Demigod Artifact Level Sun God Amulet, the rewards from these intact tombs could be imagined.
