"That's too strong. In the Cthulhu mythology, Amon is one of the ancient gods who expelled the Old Ones. He is absolutely powerful. What's the point of fighting with this substitute?" Masha complained.
The League Secretary: "You can fight back and forth with someone whose stand-in is Cthulhu."
Baiquan: "Although you seem to be talking about JOJO, why don't I understand?"
——Oh? So Cthulhu is the little guy's blind spot?
——Alas, he is only a ten-year-old child. No matter how smart he is, he does not have enough time to accumulate knowledge.
Baiquan: "Isn't Cthulhu a tentacle monster as big as a mountain? The Stand User must be in human form, right?"
——Do you know?
——Little boy, you know a lot!
Shelley probably felt that if things continued like this, the chat would turn into an "anime chat" again - Masha and the others always managed to turn serious topics into this kind of rambling, off-topic chat filled with a lot of ACG and movie memes.
So Shelley forced the topic back to the point: "I'm confused. If this is an illusion device specially left by the ancients, what is the purpose of setting it up?"
"The mausoleum is on the ground after all. If you are far away, even if you have good eyesight, you will not be able to see the mausoleum because of the curvature of the earth." Masha spread his hands, "Maybe the pharaoh wanted the entire Lower Egypt to see his magnificent mausoleum? You see, we are still some distance away from Cairo, and if we can see it, the citizens of Cairo can definitely look up and see this thing floating in the sky."
At this time, Masha could already see the Step Pyramid of Djoser standing in the desert. Other pyramids could be vaguely seen on both sides of the Step Pyramid. As the distance got closer, he could also see other ruins remaining in the desert.
Saqqara, the Egyptian "City of the Dead", is officially translated into "The Underworld" in "Assassin's Creed Origins".
However, there were no other pyramids in the illusion in the sky - obviously, when Pharaoh Joe built the pyramid, the parents of the owners of other pyramids were not yet born.
After approaching the pyramid, Masha said, "Before the people from other forces arrive, I want to do an experiment. Fang Fang, follow me!"
"Why do you call me Fang Fang too?" The league secretary muttered in dissatisfaction, stood up and followed Masha back to the world in the car, passed through the random door and arrived at the planet wonderland.
Masha glanced at the Stonehenge in the planet's wonderland.
"It's time to put it to use," said Masha.
He glanced at the League Secretary, who immediately activated his ability.
Masha opened the portal of the planet's wonderland and brought it to Joecel's step pyramid.
The moment the door opened, Stonehenge began to glow.
Masha: "Sure enough, there is a considerable amount of spiritual energy gathered in this place. There is something fishy going on with this thing."
League Secretary: "Is the Pharaoh going to be resurrected? Is Egypt going to be awesome?"
"No, Egypt was already more awesome than last year when IG won the championship," Mashapi said.
Then he discovered that Pharaoh Joe's tomb seemed to begin to glow.

It's twelve o'clock, a new day, time to vote! One person, one vote is fine!
See you tomorrow morning at 7:30
Chapter 526: Second in Command, Use Your Cleverness (Part )
Masha immediately grabbed the league secretary and jumped out of the door and quickly closed it.
"Is this okay? We might be seen by a drone, and then by someone who can see through my abilities." said the League Secretary.
"I'm wearing a straw hat, so it's fine if I don't look up." Masha paused and pointed to the pyramid in front of him. "It's still glowing, which means that this glowing phenomenon is not caused by us."
Masha opened the door to the island wonderland and jumped in with the league secretary.
Xue Jianmei was startled: "Huh? Why did you come in suddenly... Uh, didn't you come from the car?"
"Sister Xue, feel this wind. It's the hot wind from Egypt." While saying these incomprehensible words, Masha picked up the optical equipment and aimed it at the pyramid from inside the door.
"That's right. You can't see it with the naked eye, but in fact the brightness of the pyramid is slowly increasing. This means that the spiritual energy or spiritual pressure in this place is increasing - no, if the spiritual energy increases, the spiritual pressure will naturally increase as well."
“But when we first arrived…”
Masha interrupted the League Secretary and said, "Regarding this, I guess the pyramid was glowing when we appeared, but the light was weak and we didn't notice it. Then the brightness became visible to the naked eye as the spiritual energy increased."
League Secretary: "So, Stonehenge is more sensitive to spiritual pressure than the pyramids?"
"I'm not sure yet. It's also possible that the pyramid is gradually increasing its brightness due to the increase in spiritual energy." Masha was shocked. "Damn it, our unit measurement is not complete yet, otherwise we can let Hanaya Shuang monitor the changes in spiritual pressure, and then-"
Masha suddenly stopped talking: "Wait a minute!"
The optical instrument readings, which had been rising steadily, suddenly began to fluctuate.
Masha quickly concluded: "The pyramid is glowing because of the spiritual pressure, because our spiritual energy cannot leave the random door. But the spiritual pressure can leave.
"Our spiritual pressure disrupted the distribution of spiritual pressure, causing the orderly increase in brightness to be interrupted. However, when we opened the door to the island wonderland, the brightness of the pyramid was still increasing steadily, which means that at that time, at the location of the pyramid, the spiritual pressure had not been affected by us."
League Secretary: "What is the principle behind this?"
Masha thought to herself, your intelligence must be pretty good, how come you can’t think of such a simple thing?
This thought made him look slightly impatient.
"Yes, I am stupid. Master Ma, please explain it to me." The league secretary seemed to have long been accustomed to Masha's "contempt from the academic master" and said so.
Masha: "This means that spiritual pressure is a wave rather than a field. The transmission of waves can be fast or slow, but the expansion speed of the field is basically close to the speed of light."
——In order to verify the hypothesis that spiritual pressure is a wave, we should use Stonehenge to design experiments to see if we can observe the diffraction and interference of spiritual pressure.
Masha took a last look at the readings on the optical device and closed the door.
Xue Jianmei: "So, where is Cleopatra? Didn't she say she was going to sneak into the enemy base? Was that a pyramid outside the door just now?"
“Sister Xue, this is very complicated to explain. I will explain it to you later.”
"You've just conquered Petra, and now you want to conquer the Pyramids?" Xue Jianmei asked.
Masha turned around and smiled: "Sister Xue, modern society is a fast-paced society."
He opened the door and returned to Planet Wonderland.
The girls are waiting over there.
"What happened?" Chihiro asked.
"The pyramid also appears to glow due to the spiritual pressure. Right now, where the pyramid is located, the spiritual pressure is gradually increasing."
Qianxun smiled and said, "It shows that your idea of using light brightness to relate spiritual energy and spiritual pressure is correct. So, the spiritual energy under the pyramid is increasing?"
"That's right." Masha nodded, then corrected Qianxun and said, "It may not be below. Although I also think that something is pressed under the pyramid, which causes the spiritual energy to slowly increase, but we must be rigorous in our expression."
Chihiro shrugged nonchalantly.
"So," Xiao Shi looked at Masha, as if she was convinced that Masha had seen through the answers to everything, "what is buried underneath?"
Baiquan: "It's a thousand-year-old building block!"
Xiao Shi hit Bai Quan on the head with a knife.
The little girl knelt down and held her head in her hands in an exaggerated manner.
Xiao Shi said seriously: "Don't joke around at this time."
Then she continued to look at Masha with absolute trust.
Masha was in a difficult situation because he had no idea what was underneath, which made him feel a lot of pressure facing Xiao Shi's unconditional trust.
He finally decided that it would be better not to let Xiao Shi have such high expectations of him, so he told the truth: "I don't know. Who knows what kind of awesome burial objects Pharaoh Qiao has."
Masha glanced at Baiquan again and added, "Maybe it really is a thousand-year-old building block. If so, after I get this treasure, I will participate in this year's Yu-Gi-Oh Tournament."
Shelley: "Haven't you ever thought that it would be the Pharaoh who would be resurrected? Look, since your ability can revive me, it's not surprising that the Pharaoh would be resurrected, right?"
Cai Shi: "Wow, that... it really feels like the revival of spiritual energy."
——That’s right. If the Pharaoh is resurrected, it will be a complete fantasy story.
Masha thought so.
"Suppose it is really the Pharaoh who has been resurrected..." Masha followed this line of thought and said, "Then there is a problem. My resurrection coin can revive people, but this refers specifically to living people. For example, I still have a resurrection coin now, and one of you dies and I use the resurrection coin, and then another person dies, and I get the resurrection coin later, but I can't revive the person who died when I didn't have the coin.
“This is equivalent to the resurrection coin acting as a temporary storage place for the soul. As long as the things used to create the body are prepared, the resurrection coin is used to inject the soul into the body, and the resurrection is complete.
"So, if the Pharaoh is really resurrected, it means that the Pharaoh's soul has always existed in this world, but the spiritual energy has been suppressed for thousands of years. Will the soul, as a concentrated spiritual energy, be affected?"
The girls looked at each other.
League Secretary: "How can we know if you don't know?"
Masha continued, "Moreover, the souls of ordinary people cannot exist without the body. The death of the body means the extinction of the soul. Although the Pharaoh mummified the body, can that thing preserve the soul?"
The girls looked at each other and no one replied.
"Third, if Pharaoh Qiao was powerful enough that his soul could leave his body, then he would not die. It is hard to imagine that he sealed himself in a tomb. In that case, Pharaoh Qiao should have established an eternal empire in Egypt..."
Masha looked at the girls, obviously wanting to see what creative ideas everyone had that could inspire her.
However, the girls remained silent. It was unclear whether they were not smart enough to come up with any creative ideas, or whether they had lived under Masha's super high intelligence for a long time and were accustomed to leaving such things that required intelligence to Masha.
At this time, Baiquan said: "Then, there is only one answer! The truly powerful person is the one who built the tomb for the pharaoh!"
Masha glanced at Baiquan, and suddenly, inspiration came!

It's 7:30, vote! Recommend vote!
Recommendation tickets! I really need recommendation tickets!
The pit tree is coming to explode my ass!
Chapter 527: These are gas tanks?
"Everyone... think about what we have been doing these days?" Masha asked the girls.
Chihiro: "Occasionally he becomes like a teacher. Just ignore him and he will continue talking."
"Do you really have to ruin my show?" Masha looked at Chihiro with a resentful face.
Baiquan: "Qianxun obviously feels threatened by me as the second in command, so she deliberately uses this method to emphasize her special status!"
Qianxun snorted, "Humph, I have Kamen Jiqi after all, which is the proof of my tacit understanding with Masha. Why do I need to use this method to emphasize my status? When you start to use Kamen Jiqi, I might feel a little threatened."
Baiquan pouted: "Just wait, Ah Sha and I have such a high synchronization rate, we will be able to drive the Masked Princess Rider soon!"
Cai Shi: "I want to face the wall, please don't disturb me."
Masha coughed and said, "Do you still want to listen to me?"
"Look, when our attention is not on him, he will show a little wife's expression because he wants to show off but is ignored." Chihiro continued to sabotage.
Masha ignored Qianxun and continued, “Sacrificing bad guys and extracting their souls can replenish the spiritual energy of the fairyland. We have been doing this these days.
"Let's assume that during the Third Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, the spiritual energy in the world was still enough to support a 'wizard' who could truly use witchcraft. This wizard became the king's doctor, high priest, and top think tank in Egypt..."
League Secretary: "The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors existed before the Third Dynasty of Egypt, right? Theoretically, the spiritual energy should have been suppressed by then."
Masha glanced at the league secretary with approval and said, "That's right. I personally think that people like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and Nuwa should be from the same generation as the gods worshipped by ancient Egypt, such as Amon. The original primitive beliefs of China, India, ancient Babylon and ancient Egypt, these four ancient countries, should all have worshiped true superpowers."
"Then..." The League Secretary looked confused.
"Is the suppression of spiritual energy really an instantaneous process? Does the gradual recovery now indicate that the suppression back then was actually a slow process?"
In response to Masha's question, the League Secretary shrugged.
Masha continued, "Moreover, according to my speculation, the human soul is actually concentrated spiritual energy. In other words, the spiritual energy is not completely blocked, it just becomes thinner. If the spiritual energy is completely blocked, then newborns should only have animal instincts."
Chihiro: "That makes sense, but why does this remind me of the Pillars of Eternity that you were obsessed with for a while?"
Baiquan: "Is this really another plot from the game?"
"Don't interrupt." Masha glared at the two girls seriously, "This is my speculation based on the current clues. Although scientific exploration is a process of continuous trial and error, I have not found any evidence to deny my speculation, so just treat it as the 'current reality'.
“So, during the Third Dynasty, although it was already the ‘End of the Dharma Era’ and spiritual energy was declining, people with super powers probably could no longer defeat thousands of enemies alone like they did in the mythological era. So people with super powers became gods in everyone’s minds, and those wizards who could still use some minor spells became servants of the gods.
"We assume that the guy who archaeologists believe presided over the construction of the Djoser Pyramid was such a wizard. This wizard was keenly aware that this is the end of the Dharma Age. He wanted to prolong the end of the Dharma Age so that his descendants can still use witchcraft..."
Masha paused. He liked to stop at places like this and look at everyone's expressions.
However, the girls have seen this behavior of his many times, and now they don’t like to pay much attention to him.
There was one exception.
