Chapter 031: The Sacrifice

Hela stood at the entrance of the suction force. The rolling quicksand did not affect her; she remained steady.

At this entrance, she sensed the aura of the underworld. If she followed this entrance, she could reach the underworld and meet another death god, Anubis.

As long as she killed this deity and seized his power, Hela could become even stronger.

But Hela hesitated repeatedly and ultimately did not enter.

Because she felt she could not defeat a death god in the underworld; challenging a deity on their home turf was undoubtedly foolish.

Just then, Hela seemed to notice something. She gently waved her hand, and a black book flew up from the entrance, landing in her hand.

Wang Bo also noticed it. To him, this book was all too familiar.

It was the Book of the Dead.

It contained a vast number of spells related to death and darkness, as well as language praising the god Anubis, and it was not lacking in methods to please Anubis, such as performing sacrifices.

Of course, the most important thing was the spell that could bring the dead back to life.

Although this spell could only be used in this world, it was still a resurrection spell, worth Wang Bo's study.

So Wang Bo planned to find time to learn it.

Hela seemed very interested in this book and began reading it as if no one else were around.

Before long, the anomaly in the desert finally ended.

The entire oasis of Ahm Shere was sucked into the underworld and vanished, replaced by a barren desert.

Wang Bo led the others down, his feet landing on the sand. He casually opened a portal to the manor and said, "You go back first."

Evelyn glanced at Wang Bo, said nothing, nodded, and stepped through the portal. She had been of no help in today's battle and felt somewhat withdrawn.

Jonathan, eager to comfort his sister, followed her.

O'Connell looked at Wang Bo, signaling him to help resolve the magic on Anck-Su-Namun.

Wang Bo nodded and cast a spell at Anck-Su-Namun.

Obliviate!

This was a charm from the world of Harry Potter that could erase memories, either specific ones or all memories.

Wang Bo certainly did not erase all of Karen's memories, only those of her past life.

In fact, when Anck-Su-Namun saw Wang Bo make his move, she wanted to resist, but she was just an ordinary person and had no right to resist.

In just over ten seconds, Karen completely forgot all memories related to Anck-Su-Namun from her past life, including the memories of helping Imhotep resurrect in this life, all erased.

For Karen, it was just a momentary daze.

When she came to, she could no longer recall anything about Anck-Su-Namun or Imhotep. She only remembered following her husband to the desert and witnessing what could be called a battle of gods.

Now, everything was over, and it was time for them to go back.

"Let's go back too, O'Connell. Alex is waiting for us." She naturally took O'Connell's arm, just as before.

O'Connell looked into Karen's eyes, and the full love in them made him realize that his Karen had returned. He couldn't help but sigh in relief and said gratefully, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Wang Bo waved his hand and sent the two back as well.

Then Wang Bo walked up to Hela and asked, "How's the book?"

He had read this book before and was thoroughly familiar with its knowledge, but unfortunately, because he had refused to become Anubis's Keeper of the Dead, the knowledge from this book had long been erased.

Even now, Wang Bo could not restore those memories.

Because this knowledge had completely ceased to exist.

"Not bad. It gave me some inspiration." Hela said while flipping through the Book of the Dead. She was the goddess of death, no less than Anubis; this book only expanded her knowledge, not greatly increased her power.

"Let me have a look when you're done."

Wang Bo wanted to learn the means of resurrection from this book.

Hela nodded.

"Then shall we go back?" Wang Bo asked.

Hela closed the book and said, "I still have some things to do recently. You go back on your own."

Wang Bo shrugged and did not insist. The two had agreed not to interfere with each other's actions. Since Hela was unwilling to return with him, Wang Bo did not force it and directly stepped through the portal back to the manor.

Then Wang Bo closed the portal.

But this matter did not end there. After returning to the manor, Wang Bo decided to use the Moonlight Box to travel back to the time when the Scorpion King was still alive, to find the Saint of Scorpio, Milo, who was still alive at that time.

Then send Milo back to the Saint Seiya world.

Without the Moonlight Box, Wang Bo might not have been able to do this, but the reality was that he did have a treasure that could freely travel between worlds.

However, before the era of the Scorpion King, he had to determine the specific time of the Scorpion King's era.

This was not difficult for Wang Bo. He remembered from the plot that the Scorpion King attacked Thebes in 3061 BC.

Then, after seven years, the Scorpion King was defeated and eventually made a deal with Anubis.

That is, the world Wang Bo needed to return to was at least before 3061 BC.

But the exact year, Wang Bo was not sure.

So Wang Bo thought for a moment and asked Evelyn if she knew in which year BC the Scorpion King met Milo.

"I don't know."

Evelyn shook her head without hesitation upon hearing Wang Bo's question. "The Scorpion King's era is too far from ours. There is no clear record in books of when the Scorpion King met the mysterious maiden."

Wang Bo thought for a moment and said, "Then we'll have to ask the Scorpion King himself."

Evelyn was taken aback and said, "You plan to go to the underworld?"

"No." Wang Bo shook his head. He certainly wouldn't go to the underworld; that was Anubis's territory. "I plan to summon the Scorpion King to the mortal world. You know the spell to summon the dead, right?"

Evelyn was the Keeper of the Dead, a follower of Anubis, and had read the Book of the Dead, so she naturally knew how to summon a spirit. She nodded and said, "To summon a spirit from the underworld, we need a sacrifice, especially since we are summoning the Scorpion King. We need a perfect sacrifice, or we will anger Anubis."

"I have a sacrifice, as perfect as can be!" Wang Bo said with a smile. Before his power surpassed Anubis's, Wang Bo did not intend to have a falling out with Anubis. A few sacrifices meant nothing to Wang.
