Chapter 27 – The Second Punishment

Chapter 27 The Second Punishment

Upon hearing this, the originally proud Set’s pupils shrank.

The next moment, he suddenly felt a pain that almost killed him descending on his body!

“Ah!”

Feeling the terrible pain in his body, Set arched his body and cried out.

His eyes were filled with anger and killing intent.

Set’s face was twisted in pain as he looked at Tan Weili. His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice trembled as he asked fiercely, “Horus! What did you do to me!”

However, the only response Set got was Tan Weili’s cold eyes.

Time returned to the moment when Set was about to escape.

Upon the reminder of his mother, Isis, the God of Air, Shu, and Anet, the boatman of the Sun Ark, tried to stop Set. Tan Weili realized that they could not stop this guy with their own strength.

Therefore, Tan Weili also wanted to help!

However, what could he do with his own strength?

Just as Tan Weili was feeling confused, he instinctively checked his own power.

It was fine if he didn’t sense it, but once he did, he was shocked.

Tan Weili was surprised to find that the divine power in his body was much stronger than it had been during the battle.

However, Tan Weili quickly reacted. The increase in his divine power was within his expectations.

Just now, he had convinced Twelve River Goddesses who had originally been neutral, and had them send a message for him.

And Anet, who was driving the Sun Ark, had gone from standing on his side verbally to really fighting for him.

As one of the Nine Pillar Gods of Ancient Egypt, Shu, the God of Air, had gone from his original appreciation and recognition to the point where he would sacrifice his life to protect him.

With the help of his mother, Isis, and his half-brother, Anubis, the number of gods united around Tan Weili suddenly increased.

As the God of Royalty, Horus’ power would naturally rise as a result!

After the sudden increase in power, Tan Weili was keenly aware that he had gained an additional power to issue laws!

As the God of Royalty and Law, Tan Weili, who was in the form of Horus, could use his legal authority to issue a law to the gods.

Under the influence of this law, once a god broke the law, they would be punished accordingly.

At the same time, because the gods and the collective consciousness of humans were inextricably linked, after Tan Weili promulgated this law, the humans within the scope of his beliefs would have the idea of establishing this law and would soon enact it in the future!

In other words, Tan Weili could use the power of the law to attack and restrict Set!

However, Tan Weili was keenly aware that this ability was not omnipotent.

First of all, because this law would affect the collective consciousness of human beings, the power of law would also be devoured by the collective consciousness of human beings!

Under this principle, if Tan Weili announced to Set that the law forbade deserters on the battlefield, it would be impossible for him to escape.

This law would not take effect and would restrict Set from leaving.

Tan Weili, who had announced this law, would instead be devoured by the collective consciousness of the human race and hurt.

As for the reason, it was obvious.

After all, in the era before nationalism was truly awakened, the general public rarely had the idea of collective sacrifice because of a certain ideal.

Even in some battles in the ancient times and the Middle Ages, the Spartan warriors had been completely annihilated, or the crusaders had fought to the death without retreating.

This spirit of sacrifice was only passed down from the citizens of the city and the knights of the fief.

For the slaves and serfs, sacrifice? Why would they sacrifice themselves?

Therefore, it was absolutely unrealistic to expect Egypt in the 28th century BC to directly ban deserters from the battlefield by law!

The laws issued by Tan Weili had to be accepted by the mainstream of this era!

In addition, Tan Weili’s legal authority would also be restricted by another factor.

As the person who had announced the law was Tan Weili, who had taken the form of Horus, the effect of the law could not exceed the limits of Horus’ power!

In other words, if Tan Weili promulgated a law that stated that he would be sentenced to death if he killed his elder brother, he would be sentenced to death.

Even if this law was accepted by the mainstream people of Egypt and was approved, it would not kill Set.

After all, the current Horus did not have the power to kill Set.

Therefore, Tan Weili had to use the law to influence Set within the range that he could achieve and at the same time, within the range that mainstream thinking in Egypt could accept!

After thinking about it for a while, as he looked at Set who was about to disappear, Tan Weili realized that he did not have the power to keep him here.

Hence, he decided to cause Set some trouble before he escaped!

He began to mobilize the power of royalty and law.

The moment Tan Weili mobilized his authority, the power of Egypt’s national will and order instantly descended on him.

With the addition of power, Tan Weili’s temperament changed.

His image began to rise infinitely, as if he were the emperor of the eastern world, Persia, India, and China, sitting at the top of power, like a loner.

In this lonely power at the top, he began to issue laws.

“I hereby, in the name of the God of Royalty and Law, Horus, announce a law to disdainfully dismiss all deserters on the battlefield. They must be punished!”

An intense pain suddenly struck Set’s body!

Facing Set’s questioning, Tan Weili turned a deaf ear.

He just continued to announce, “The first time you violate this rule, you will be caned ten times!”

From Tan Weili’s point of view, in theory, he could indeed cane Set.

However, this was only something that could be done in theory.

In actual hand-to-hand combat, Set would not let Tan Weili do that.

However, at this moment, Set was trying his best to use his authority to escape from this place.

He couldn’t split himself up, so he naturally couldn’t counter Tan Weili’s attack.

In addition, Tan Weili used the authority of the law to directly attack Set, saving him the trouble of taking action.

Therefore, it was even more impossible for Set to defend against Tan Weili’s attack.

So, this possibility, which had only stayed in theory, instantly became a reality under Tan Weili’s legal authority!

As soon as Tan Weili finished speaking, two sticks made of order and power appeared beside Set.

Under Tan Weili’s will, the two sticks began to wave and hit Set with great force!

Pa!

The hard stick hit Set’s body and instantly broke three of his ribs.

His ribs were broken and his internal organs were displaced. Set screamed in pain again.

Looking at this scene, the gods were shocked.

Just two simple sentences had caused Set so much pain. It was no wonder that Horus was able to force Set to retreat!

If Horus was able to grow, one day, he would definitely be able to trample on Set!

The attack of the rod continued.

Tan Weili could also clearly feel that his divine power was being consumed rapidly as the stick hit Set.

When Tan Weili finished beating Set ten times, he could clearly feel that more than half of his energy had been consumed!

Looking at his body that was about to be completely covered by the wind and sand, Set, who was exhausted and weak from the caning, could only kneel on the ground and gasp for breath. Suddenly, he revealed a sinister smile.

“Horus,” he said to Tan Weili, “that’s all you can do!”

“I’ve already endured these ten beatings! If this is your strength, I can only say that a weak guy like you can’t beat me!”

“Hahahaha! How is it? You’ve worked so hard for half a day, but you still can’t make me stay. Are you very angry?” “Hmph, hmph! Don’t worry, Horus! This failure was just a moment of carelessness on my part! The next time we meet, I’ll definitely trample on you and kill you!”

“And you guys!”

He looked at the gods standing next to Tan Weili and threatened them with a malicious tone,”Sooner or later, I will send you to the netherworld to be Osiris’ company!”

However, just as he was about to be teleported away, Tan Weili’s words made his heart sink.

The God of Royalty and Law said in a cold voice, “Did you forget something?’

“I only announced the punishment for running away for the first time… As for you, you’ve already tried to escape from me once.”

“This means that you, who are running away now, will once again suffer the punishment of a deserter!”
