Lin Ke looked at the green bandage on his arm. He knew very well that it was the power of Osiris, the god of the underworld, that could revive all things and eliminate the fatigue in his body.
As the sun rose higher, the temperature in Jerusalem began to rise gradually.
The two supreme gods of Holy Egypt were now suspended in the air again.
As for Anubis, the god of death, he has turned back into his skeleton-like jackal appearance.
As a main god, his divine power is almost exhausted.
When it turned back into the appearance of a jackal skeleton, Lin Ke could still see the bones on its body reflecting the sunlight.
There wasn't even a trace of black smoke, which meant that it had indeed consumed too much of its divine power.
Not only that, even outside Jerusalem, the holy Egyptian gods in sarcophagi also encountered similar situations.
You know, before Lin Ke summoned them, these sarcophagi filled with the aura of gods would occasionally emit bursts of colored smoke.
That is about the breath of God, something about the power of God.
However, at this moment, the sarcophagi had completely lost the colorful smoke.
This also shows that the gods in the sarcophagus were also affected.
Because they were drawn into Satan's space, too much divine power had been consumed.
Therefore, now, Lin Ke can no longer summon them. If he summons them by force, their power will be very weak.
It is precisely because the divine power of the gods of Holy Egypt has not been restored that Lin Ke did not recall the two supreme gods of Holy Egypt.
The Supreme God is different from ordinary gods. The upper limit of their divine power is much higher than that of ordinary gods. Moreover, they recover faster and their bodies are tougher.
As long as they are given some time to stabilize their divine power, they will be able to launch powerful attacks or magic again.
However, these all come at a price.
Every time the supreme gods recover their divine power, the upper limit of their divine power will gradually decrease. In a sense, the attacks and divine spells they unleash will become weaker and weaker each time.
Not only that, this "decline" in the upper limit of divine power will make it take longer for the Supreme God to recover his divine power after leaving the human world.
Generally speaking, a Supreme God who has used a large amount of divine power will need about a month to recover all of his divine power.
And because of this drop in the "upper limit", it will take them more than a month to recover.
But even so, Lin Ke can only let the Supreme God stay here. After all, the other gods of Holy Egypt can no longer be summoned, and he must take precautions before it happens.
The scenes of the Battle of Sun City were still engraved in his mind, and he still remembered how the Greek coalition forces appeared at the last moment.
Therefore, he needed the gods to guard here until he was sure that everything was safe.
"Elder brother."
Ramses came to Lin Ke at this time. In addition to ordering the soldiers to prepare things for fire, he also asked several leaders of the Holy Egyptian Alliance.
Leaders who can call upon the gods.
"Their gods will soon regain all their power."
"When that time comes, you can call back all the Supreme Gods so that they can recover their divine power as soon as possible."
When Lin Ke heard this, he just nodded.
"That's good."
"Tell the leaders of civilizations to be ready tomorrow."
"Let them have a good rest today. I will call back the Supreme God tomorrow."
"How are the preparations going?"
What Lin Ke is asking now is about the burning of corpses.
Ramses nodded and pointed in another direction.
"I'm ready, brother."
"We'll be starting soon."
On the other side, the soldiers of the Holy Egyptian Alliance quickly built a simple firewood pile in the center of the high ground.
The body of the Supreme Ruler King was carefully carried up.
The once majestic body was now lifeless. Looking from afar, his broken body actually looked a bit lonely.
But no one can explain that feeling.
After a while, the surrounding Holy Egyptian soldiers spontaneously formed a huge circle. Their faces were full of fatigue, but they still maintained a somewhat solemn posture.
After all, once the flame is lit, all traces of this enemy of Holy Egypt will be wiped out from this world forever.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
The soldiers knelt on the ground, handed the torch to Lin Ke, and waited for him to light the pile of wood with his own hands.
Lin Ke took the torch and lit the first torch himself.
Then he gently threw it onto the woodpile.
The firelight fell, and fierce flames instantly jumped up, making people's faces brighter under the dazzling sunlight.
People looked at the flickering flames, and a peculiar expression appeared on their faces.
Not joy, not sadness, but a kind of calmness as if a heavy burden had been lifted off my shoulders.
Years of war, countless sacrifices, and countless sleepless nights.
All this finally came to an end at this moment.
The flames quickly shot up into the sky, turning the once powerful emperor into smoke and ashes that drifted away in the wind.
The woodpile began to collapse, and something in the soldiers' hearts began to loosen.
People breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. It was a farewell and also a relief.
In the distance, the besieged Hebrew crowd watched the ceremony in silence.
Unlike the warriors of the Holy Egyptian Alliance, most of their faces were filled with despair and confusion.
Their king is dead.
Their city was destroyed.
Their future, like that of the holy Egyptian cities that were invaded and occupied by the Hebrew Empire in the past, became an unknown.
So, people sobbed, "What do we do now?"
"My home is gone... everything is gone..."
"We have nothing left. We may even become slaves of Holy Egypt..."
In addition, some Hebrew soldiers stood in the crowd, some of their eyes were empty, some were numb, and most of them watched the cremation ceremony like zombies.
They have lost their fighting spirit, their direction, and even the ability to cry.
On the edge of the group, a few officers stared at the flames with gritted teeth.
Tears rolled down the corners of their eyes, that was anger, that was powerlessness.
Also, hatred.
Lin Ke was not immersed in the ceremony itself. His eyes were always moving among the crowd, observing the emotions on people's faces.
He saw the exhaustion of the winners, the confusion of the losers, and the complex undercurrents of emotions hidden beneath the calm surface.
This made him realize more clearly that after the war, how to deal with people's emotions and the ruins of Jerusalem was also a very important issue.
Finally, his gaze fell on the farthest place, on those Hebrews.
He took a deep breath.
