Hyper-Dimensional Player-Chapter 534 - 93: Your Majesty’s Old Friend, Athena’s Secret Whisper

The Great Temple of Isis.

In the pitch-black night, an owl appeared from the distant horizon, hovering and landing on the roof of the Divine Hall, silently watching the people below conducting their rituals. These people were praying for blessings from the divine spirits, and as the great goddess who governed the power of life, she was also the goddess of magic in ancient Egypt, revered by many.

No one knew how much time had passed.

As the worshippers departed, the owl flew into the Divine Hall and landed softly on the shoulder of the foremost statue.

At this moment, the priests of the Divine Hall quietly withdrew.

An intangible, hazy spiritual light appeared, and a gentle figure emerged from the mysterious goddess statue. She turned to look at the owl on the statue’s shoulder and said softly, "What should I call you?"

"Athena? Minerva? Or Suliss?"

The owl descended, not transforming into a human form but instead moving as an animal, indicating it was not the true body, merely an inconspicuous avatar.

Even Athena would not risk entering the domain of other divine spirits.

The owl spoke in human language, slowly saying, "Suliss."

"I am neither Athena nor Minerva."

This indicated that her core personality originated from Suliss of Celtic belief, which was the essence, with Athena and Minerva being just parts of her.

The darkened Athena.

The great goddess’s apparition before her understood everything and sighed, "I thought you would come sooner, seeing as we are old friends."

They were indeed old friends.

After the pantheon of ancient Egypt collapsed, the worship of Isis entered Greece, blending gradually with Greek culture.

In the 1st century BC, the worship of Isis entered Rome, spreading widely during the Roman Empire, where Isis was often associated with Love God Aphrodite, Huntress Goddess Diana, Goddess of Wisdom Minerva, and Harvest Goddess Demeter in Roman religion.

In Egyptian mythology, she was the embodiment of cosmic energy and savior, in Roman times, she was seen as the goddess of fertility and reproduction, with roles in maritime guidance, granting linguistic ability, and was revered as a maritime protector who helped devout followers find sanctuary.

After the ancient Egyptian pantheon fell, most divine spirits’ aspects shifted elsewhere, yet the faith in the Goddess Isis did not perish, even thriving for a time within the Roman Empire’s system.

This was the divine spirits’ change of appearance tactic.

As ancient Greece waned, its gods directly transformed into Roman gods under a new guise, and after Rome conquered Egypt, most Egyptian godly faiths were severed by the Greek gods, but the worship of Isis was preserved.

The owl gazed at the Goddess Isis before it, saying slowly, "I’ve been searching for someone."

Upon hearing these words.

The Goddess Isis appeared quite surprised, hesitantly asking, "That Majesty? He has come?"

Although considered half-mortal and half-god, in the eyes of many divine spirits, that man was already one of their own, just without shedding the final fig leaf.

No mortal who could mobilize a hint of the World Law ever existed, it’s just he thought himself to be a mortal.

You are actually willing to call me Your Majesty.

The owl’s expression turned subtly, thinking of something, as that man indeed had a peculiar sense of humor.

The Goddess Isis certainly knew Duncan, but in that era, she was no longer a core deity.

Like Sifanass, she had gradually hidden within the secular world.

The earliest Egyptian divine spirits to enter this world were among the first ancient Egyptian beliefs to be extinguished. After monotheism wiped out the Main God of Thebes, Amon, his remains became one of the Seventy-two Pillar Demon Gods, and Thebes’s three main gods entered this world, beginning to battle the ancient primordial divine spirits.

But at that time, the Goddess Isis was still doing well in the Roman Empire, embraced by faith, thus becoming the last of the ancient Egyptian deities to enter this world.

By the time she arrived, a new pantheon of fusion had already been born, merging the aspects of ancient Egyptian gods with native divine spirits. However, due to her extremely unique status, she became one of the golden coast’s important goddesses, albeit with little real-world influence.

As for the Greek gods, they entered only once during the Dark Ages but were driven out by the native gods.

After all, their foundation then was the Root World, with monotheism as their greatest competitor.

In the Dark Ages, many native gods of this world perished, and the remaining native gods merged with the otherworldly gods, forming numerous new pantheon alliances, of which the Furious Gods were composites. Some were native gods defeating and devouring the otherworldly gods, while others were otherworldly gods possessing certain conceptual laws of the native gods.

Kod, the God of Strength, was an external god, not originally from the Root World, but devoured the God of Barbarians of old.

Over nearly a thousand years, otherworldly gods have evolved into this world’s native deities.

The owl nodded slowly, calmly saying, "Indeed."

"That Majesty has also come."

The Great Goddess Isis, upon hearing this, nodded slowly and said, "No wonder you would take the initiative to reveal yourself."

Without a powerful ally, even the darkened Athena must cautiously bide her time for growth.

It’s just uncertain if that Majesty who has arrived is his true form.

If it’s his true form, it’s indeed quite tricky, and the gods would feel a tinge of apprehension.
