Chapter 323
323 – [Theatrical Version] Conclusion
Immediately after defeating Set, I came down the step pyramid with Mahes, who had lent me his strength until the end, and asked Abdul (who was not dead), who had woken up after fainting due to exhaustion of strength, about the whereabouts of Aisha and Ryuji.
“If you are a benefactor, I rushed you to a hospital in downtown Cairo in a car driven by Salman.”
“Did you contact me later?”
“Yes. Fortunately, he received blood transfusion after first aid. It looks like there were doctors at the hospital.”
“Phew… I’m glad.”
As I sighed in relief and patted his chest, Abdul asked with a nervous expression.
“Rather… “Did you defeat Set?”
“Yes. Thanks to Ryuji giving us time, Mahes and I worked together to take it down.”
When I said that and held out my fist to Mahes next to me, Mahes laughed and thrust his fist in her.
[No matter how strong Set is, he is no match for our sun warriors.]
“Oh…!”
Abdul’s eyes sparkle like a child after hearing Mahes’ words.
Because those stares were burdensome, I quickly changed the topic.
“Where should we go now?”
When I asked Abdul, supporting him from the side, Abdul scratched his head and said with a troubled expression.
“How about we go to the National Nasser Hospital first? Since my benefactor went there too.”
“Nasser? Is it far from here?”
“Originally, it takes about 10 minutes by car, so it’s quite far on foot.”
“That’s enough gum. Let’s get on your back.”
When I said that and willingly held out my back, Abdul said thank you and obediently put me on his back.
Then he said with an apologetic expression.
“I’m sorry, you must have been very tired after fighting just a moment ago.”
“This is okay. “I recovered quite a bit of my stamina after coming down the pyramid.”
As I said that and held his thigh, Abdul quietly surrendered.
***
This is the story after that.
When I arrived at the National Nasser Hospital carrying Abdul, I met Ryuji, who was receiving treatment there.
Fortunately, Ryuji did not suffer any serious injuries thanks to Mahes protecting his body as much as possible, and it appears that the incident ended with him applying medicine and bandages.
I thanked Aisha for moving Ryuji, but she said that she had done nothing and that she was lucky that she was able to play this role, and she expressed her gratitude to me.
Afterwards, we made a video call to Ryuji’s parents and Yuika, who were waiting for news from the gravedigger clan’s village.
“Brother!” Are you hurting a lot?!”
“This is nothing.”
Of course, Yuika, the bracon, was the first to make a fuss, and Mr. Ryusuke and Mr. Sumire, who were standing behind her, also sighed in relief when they saw that her son was safe.
The two said they would return to Cairo as soon as the sun rises tomorrow morning, so it feels like the incident has largely come to an end.
“Oh, by the way, I didn’t mention this. Mahes’ real name is Horus.”
And Ryuji suddenly dropped a bombshell.
“What?!”
It has been revealed that Horus, who until now was thought to be only a mythical being, was in fact a real-life pharaoh.
For some reason, Set kept calling Mahes Horus.
“W-is this really?! Mahes is actually Horus?!”
“I’m sure because I said it myself. And the recently resurrected Set called it that himself.”
It is more common than you might think for a being who made great achievements during his lifetime to be revered as a god after his death.
In some ways, Horus may also fall into that case.
However, if the story goes like this, the tomb of Mahes hidden in the Valley of the Kings is in fact the tomb of Horus, making it truly the great discovery of the century.
It is the tomb of Horus, the pharaoh of the early pre-dynastic period of Egypt, built thousands of years ago.
Even though I don’t know anything about archeology, it’s a topic that makes my mouth water.
“This is not the time to be like this! Go back to the grave immediately… !”
“Ugh, does that mean I can run away from the grave? “Stop making a fuss.”
Mr. Ryusuke said that and hurriedly tried to grab his tools, but when Mr. Sumire, who was watching him from behind, scolded him as if he was pitiful, he became sullen.
Anyway, there was such a commotion, but the actual person involved was Mahes… No, Horus said with a calm expression.
[It’s all just past glory anyway. Now I am Mahes, so please feel free to call me Mahes.]
He said he was like that, but he didn’t feel the need to change his familiar name, so we decided to keep calling him the pseudonym Mahes from now on.
“Still, it looks like you didn’t come up with an alias without thinking. Mahes is the son of Goddess Bastet, who is believed to be the female form of Ra. Was she conscious of it when she made it?”
[It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t conscious of it. Since the Sun Warriors basically served Atum Ra, they naturally had no choice but to also believe in Goddess Bastet.]
Mahes said so and pointed to the headdress of Goddess Bastet, which was the beginning of all this.
It is now hanging around Ryuji’s neck in the form of a necklace for easy carrying, but it is said that it was originally an item that was in his grave.
“Anyway, I’m glad everything ended well. I want to lie down and rest well for a day or so.”
As Ryuji said that and stretched out, Yuika, who was on a video call, hurriedly finished the story.
“Oh, I’m sorry. You must be tired too, but I held you back for too long. Yes, sleep well.”
Then Ryuji smiled and waved his hand at his family on the screen.
“Thank you for your concern. See you tomorrow.”
That’s how the call ended.
The hospital room suddenly became quiet, as if the noise just a moment ago was a lie.
Feeling awkward for no reason, I stood up and said, “Then I’ll just go. Get some rest.” Ryuji nodded and was about to lie down on the bed, but then suddenly stood up again as if he remembered something.
“Yuseong.”
“Huh?”
“Thank you for finishing it for me.”
I didn’t expect to suddenly hear Ryuji’s thank you, so I massaged the back of my neck with a sheepish expression before answering.
“You’re welcome.”
Like this, the whole incident ended.
***
Three days later, thanks to Set, who led the mummy soldiers and occupied Cairo, information about people with supernatural abilities was made public around the world.
Until now, occult beings had existed only in the form of legends, myths, and urban legends, but with this incident as an opportunity, the Illuminati, feeling the limits of information control, simply threw out all their cards.
Since information about Set’s legion, the pyramid that suddenly appeared, and the artificial sun that had been floating in the air for a long time had all been spread around the world through social media, it is correct to say that the Illuminati could not have done anything.
If it were possible to manipulate the memories of humanity around the world in the first place, the Illuminati would have taken over the world long ago.
At the point where this is not possible, the Illuminati’s abilities are said to have limits.
Thanks to this, it appears that there has been a huge uproar in all kinds of religions, businesses, and organizations, but it has nothing to do with me, so let’s just ignore it.
Since this world is fundamentally a cartoon world anyway, it felt like big news such as superpowers or magic would pass by loosely.
This is an extension of the story I told earlier, but many Cairo people who witnessed the strange weather phenomenon that occurred on the night of Set’s death thought it was God’s grace, and even people who did not believe in God suddenly began to believe in God .
Thanks to this, controversy poured in from many theologians around the world, but since direct evidence was shown, they said he was riding a burrow or something.
There seemed to be a possibility that it could develop into a quite interesting story in the future.
“Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention Yoosung-kun.”
“Huh? “You forgot?”
“It seems that the President of Egypt would like to meet Yoo Seong-gun and Ryuji. I don’t know how he found out, but he contacted me directly through the hotline.”
“… The President of Egypt?”
“If you don’t want to go out, I will refuse. To be honest, I am extremely grateful to be getting help with the excavation like this.”
“No, of course I should do this. There is no harm in building up connections in the first place.”
And actually, I didn’t say anything back, but I was kind of hoping that they might give me something like compensation.
Should I at least give him a medal?
It was when I was thinking like that.
“Dad! Eat your lunch!”
Yuika personally came down to the basement to deliver lunch to us who were in the middle of excavation work.
“Bob!”
Ryusuke and Ryuji’s eyes lit up, and Sumire, who was closely examining the relics next to them, smiled bitterly.
“The men in our family are.”
I guess I’m already familiar with it.
It was awkward to join in on family conversations, so I was quietly shoveling alone when something cold suddenly touched my cheek.
“?!”
When I turned around in surprise, Yuika was holding out ice water to me with her back slightly turned.
“Yuseong, please eat too. “I brought enough food.”
“Ah, thank you.”
I couldn’t ignore her advice, so I thanked her, put down the shovel in her hand, and climbed up the hole.
“Now that I think about it, Yuika, it seems like your attitude towards me has become kinder these days.”
Then Yuika, who was walking next to her while humming, pointed to herself with her finger and asked.
“Me?”
“Yes. Unless I’m mistaken.”
Then Yuika laughed and stabbed me in the side.
“I like people who are good at keeping their promises. Yoosung oppa kept his promise to bring that idiot oppa back safely. That’s all.”
There’s no need to argue any further if you say that’s the case.
I said to Yuika, putting my hand in her pants pocket.
“So what’s on the menu today?”
“These are pollack roe rice balls and mushroom miso soup that I made.”
“Oh, that sounds delicious.”
“Hehe, you can look forward to it. It’s my own work.”
So, I gathered together with Ryuji, his parents, and Yuika to have lunch.
