Chapter 24 - Connections

The system immediately responded to Tan Weili's question.

[Answer the host. The host's strength has increased because you have activated your authority as Horus -- royal authority!]

[The so-called royal authority and power are to unite the people around you as much as possible and reasonably distribute the power of the benefits obtained by each individual in the group.]

[With this authority, you only need to gain the approval of others and make them willing to help you. Your divine power will then increase!]

[Also, the stronger the strength that acknowledges your existence, the higher the degree of acknowledgment toward you, and the stronger the divine power that you gain with a single increase!]

'I see!'

After hearing the system's explanation, Tan Weili was suddenly enlightened.

It was no wonder that in Egyptian mythology, Horus had to go through trials and tribulations everywhere to gain the approval of other gods.

He had also received help from other gods on his adventure.

It turned out that this was not only because Set was unpopular, but also because Horus' royal authority was reflected.

Horus's series of actions had even given him the power to defeat Set!

After realizing this, Tan Weili began to recall his various experiences after coming to Egypt.

Ever since he was born, Tan Weili had been acknowledged by Osiris and received the help of Isis, Anubis, and Bastet.

After that, he had a good conversation with the God of Air, Shu, in the palace of God Ra, and was recognized by the Twelve River Goddesses for his wisdom.

In the end, he even got the support of Sobek and Anet on the Sun Ark.

Among these gods, there was no lack of famous existences among Egyptian gods. Even his parents, Osiris and Isis, and Shu, the God of Air, were one of the Nine Pillar Gods of Egypt.

With the recognition and support of these existences, Tan Weili's royal authority had reached a rather powerful level.

Even though he was still no match for Set, at the very least, even if he did not rely on Sekeheim's human body and threatened Set with a method that would cause both sides to suffer, he would not be killed by Set in one move as he was Horus!

After realizing this, Tan Weili began to think about what kind of power could strengthen his power.

There was no hope for Bastet and Sobek.

The two of them had already risked their lives for him against Set.

Tan Weili didn't think he could squeeze much more power out of them.

As for the Twelve River Goddesses, they had been riding on the wall all this while, taking the position of a fence-sitter.

However, they were weak and could not intervene in the battle between the group and Set.

Even if he made them pledge their loyalty to him, the power he obtained would not be able to change the current situation of the war.

But...

These river goddesses were not completely useless.

Tan Weili looked at the intense battle in front of him, turned around, and said to the Twelve River Goddess, "Everyone, the situation is urgent. I hope to receive your help!"

"Your Highness Horus, with our strength, I'm afraid we won't be able to help you much. Set is too powerful. Weak river goddesses like us can't resist his attacks at all."

"Compared to this, perhaps you should contact those powerful gods and ask them to help you."

Tan Weili shook his head. "I'm not asking you to charge into the enemy lines... You're right, I do need some powerful gods to help me at this time."

"So, I hope you can help me pass on the message and summon my allies!"

Tan Weili's tone was very polite, as if he was treating the wise with respect.

Hearing his request, the river goddesses looked at each other. After thinking about it, they felt that this matter was not difficult.

So they asked, "Who does Your Highness want us to invite?"

Tan Weili said, "I hope you can call God Anet who just left."

"Then, if possible, I hope that you can go to the Pharaoh's Palace and find my mother, the Goddess of Magic, Isis, and tell her about my current situation."

"After that, it was the God of Air, Shu... All you need to do is to tell him about the situation here. I believe he should know what to do."

Tan Weili already had some guesses as to why Set would appear at the border of the Evernight Kingdom.

Therefore, he felt that there was a certain probability of success if he invited the God of Air to help.

After hearing tan Weili's request, the Twelve River Goddesses felt that it was not difficult to run an errand for him and do him a favor.

So they turned around and left, flying toward their respective targets.

After making all these arrangements, Tan Weili turned his attention back to the battlefield.

After careful observation, Tan Weili realized that the situation on the battlefield didn't look good.

Although Bastet's offensive was still fierce, and her sharp cat claws often hurt Set, Set had obviously learned his lesson.

In the face of Bastet's attacks, he didn't blindly seek to avoid, but often used his limbs to resist Bastet's attacks.

Although this would leave cat claw marks on his hands and feet, these wounds were harmless to Set, who was the God of Power and War.

In exchange for an advantage, Set's defensive power was greatly enhanced.

Bastet's attacks, which were aimed at his weak points, were also resolved one by one.

However, compared to Bastet, who only attacked but did not achieve anything, Sobek, who was using his mouth to restrain Set, was in a much more difficult position.

After being pulled by Set, his physical strength had reached a state of exhaustion.

As the God of Crocodiles, he had an amazing bite force.

However, with his physical strength depleted to this extent, Sobek's masseter muscles were clearly trembling.

In such a situation, Set, who had keen battle instincts, would not let go of this opportunity.

Therefore, every time Sobek's strength fell to a low point, Set would withstand Bastet's attack and slowly struggle to break free from Sobek's bite!

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a scream came from the battlefield.

The one who screamed was Sobek!

After a hard battle, Set had caught his weakness.

Set aimed at his heart and elbowed him several times.

After a round of attacks, Sobek's heart was paralyzed and he lost all his strength. Even his masseter muscle was completely loosened after a scream.

Seeing this, Set decisively broke free from Sobek's restraint and grabbed Bastet, who had attacked him.

Fortunately, Bastet was the Goddess of Cats. Although her attack power was slightly weaker, he reaction speed was definitely top-notch.

Facing Set, who had immediately attacked her after breaking free from Sobek's control, she decisively retreated and escaped from the other party's attack range.

"Hehe! Dumb cat, without Sobek's restraint, let's see how you can attack me!"

"Come on, dumb cat! Come and attack me if you can!"

Seeing Set's malicious intent, Bastet's face turned ugly.

"Horus, I'm afraid that Sobek and I can no longer continue to exhaust Set's strength."

"If you want to deal with Set, then do it now!"

"If we wait too long, I'm worried that Sobek will be in danger..."

However, even though Tan Weili was able to exchange two moves with Set, he was still unable to defeat him.

However, if he wanted to fight Set one-on-one?

With his current strength, he was still a little short.

Thus, Tan Weili could only say, "No rush, wait a little longer!"

Bastet was puzzled.

She asked Tan Weili, "Sobek and I have already reached our limits. What are you waiting for?"
