Chapter 24: Secrets of the Ancient Papyrus - Part Two

Ibrahim laughed, feeling both annoyance and bitterness, then turned to Hussein and said:

"I wish you had never found the ancient papyrus!"

Silence fell for a few moments before murmurs rose among those present, reflecting mixed feelings of astonishment, concern, and anxiety.

One of them sighed regretfully and sarcastically said:

"This is what we inherit from our ancestors... They commit disasters, and then their descendants come to fix everything!"

Amidst the tension, one of the leaders spoke calmly and wisely, seeking permission from the President of Egypt before speaking. Once granted permission, he firmly said:

"There is no time for regret now; it won't help us. We are now faced with a great responsibility, and we must bear it. We also need to devise a precise plan to solve these problems."

He glanced at everyone present. Due to his high status in the country, everyone listened attentively and agreed with his words.

Analyzing the Papyrus and Its Secrets

The leader continued after seeing everyone's agreement:

"First, we must summarize the contents of the papyrus and determine our goals and priorities."

Then, looking at the ancient manuscript, he added:

"The papyrus tells us that the Egyptian gods were not truly gods but rather Egyptians who used the 'Heka' energy in a unique way."

The leader sighed, then continued firmly:

"For us as Muslims, this is not important because we do not believe in polytheism or these ancient Egyptian gods. We believe only in the One Allah, so we did not concern ourselves with this part. But at least now, we understand what is happening."

He looked at everyone seriously and said:

"The strange energy that erupted from the pyramid is 'Heka' energy. As for the barrier that appeared around Earth, it protects us and makes our planet invisible to enemies."

He paused for a moment before adding worriedly:

"But the problem is that this barrier will not last long... It will break! And this exposes us to great danger."

Then, looking into the eyes of those present, he continued:

"Even more dangerous than that is the presence of mysterious beings with the power of Ra and his children, who vow to exterminate humans, especially Egyptians."

Tension rose in the hall, but he continued:

"We must unite with other nations and strengthen ourselves quickly."

Protecting the Heirs of Power

The leader continued explaining:

"But there is another problem... Who will fight these mysterious beings? According to the papyrus, the only ones capable of confronting them are the descendants of the humans who used 'Heka' in the past—those who were once called gods. But they are at risk of extermination. They will all be killed, so we must protect and save them."

He paused briefly before adding seriously:

"And I believe this extermination will be at the hands of humans themselves... At the hands of sorcerers, shamans, and immortal trainees, because they will fear the emergence of this new power."

Taking a deep breath, he firmly stated:

"Therefore, I propose establishing an organization to protect them and find them before it's too late."

One of those present hesitantly interrupted:

"But... what if we fail to protect them? What if many of them die?"

Another person, who seemed to have a scientific background, responded seriously:

"We must also protect their children."

Everyone looked at him questioningly, so he clarified his idea:

"Since they are the descendants of the ancient humans who used 'Heka'—or as people called them, the 'old gods'—it is certain that the power of their ancestors will reappear in their descendants if not in them now."

He paused for a moment before continuing:

"Even if some of the children do not inherit their ancestors' powers directly, the mere fact that they carry the blood of these ancients means that, over generations, this power may resurface in one of their descendants. They now represent the future of this power."

The attendees nodded in agreement, then the leader spoke again:

"So, the organization will be responsible for protecting these humans who will inherit the power of the ancient gods, as well as safeguarding their children."

The Final Warning of the Papyrus

He stopped for a moment before adding in a more serious tone:

"But there is one last warning in the papyrus... A symbol indicating diseases... Surely, this symbol warns of a disease that will spread and is directly linked to 'Heka' energy. This disease will cause massive casualties among humans, so we must prepare well to face it."

Ibrahim, astonished, sighed before saying:

"But how will we spread this information? No one will believe us! Even though the world has changed, they will think we are making up a story to exploit the situation for political or other gains!"

The leader shook his head in agreement and said:

"And who said we will spread this information?"

Then, in a firm tone, he continued:

"If we reveal this secret now, we will weaken our position and appear to the world as if we are begging for help, as if we are weak and asking for the world's assistance."

He added sharply:

"Even if we publish the contents of the papyrus, it will be completely denied because it would expose to the entire world that they have been living in a lie!"

Then he looked at everyone seriously and said:

"Magic is a weak part of science, and mana and spiritual energy are just small fractions of 'Heka.' 'Heka' is purely and entirely scientific energy. This means that sorcerers, shamans, and immortal trainees are weaker than they think and will not be able to confront the mysterious beings."

He concluded by saying:

"We are not just destroying their history; we are revealing that their entire civilizations were built on lies! The ancient humans who used 'Heka' falsified history to conceal the true source of their power."

"And humans hate the truth... They even fight against it."

He paused for a moment before continuing firmly:

"More importantly... Our real enemies are above our heads, and we know nothing about them. They want to exterminate us. Do you think anyone will believe that?!"

Everyone fell into a serious silence, then the leader said:

"That is why we will reveal nothing for now. We will build our strength silently, move at the right time, and disclose only what we want—not everything."

Everyone showed serious expressions and agreed that the most important thing now was to keep Egypt strong and wisely seize opportunities for its benefit.

Preparing for the Coming War

A heavy silence filled the room before everyone seriously turned to the President of Egypt, who had been silently analyzing everything.

Finally, the President of Egypt asked:

"Does anyone have anything to add?"

Hussein raised his hand, seeking permission, then said:

"With all due respect to the leaders, especially Commander Abdel Rahman, who devised a solid plan, you have overlooked an important point... How will we train these humans who will inherit the power of the ancients? How will we ensure their loyalty? And how will we make them strong enough to face this threat?"

He sighed and added realistically:

"We are not in a fantasy world, but in a harsh reality. If we tell them they are merely tools to protect humanity, they will lose the will to fight. We are talking about people who can actually die, and there will be no second chance for them!"

Ibrahim frowned at him and said:

"You're always like this, dragging us back to the harshness of reality!"

Commander Abdel Rahman laughed and said:

"I apologize, Hussein. I know you like focusing on pessimistic possibilities... It seems I was too tense and overlooked this issue."

Then, becoming serious again, he said:

"Thank you. If you hadn't pointed this out, we might have lost control.

Then he firmly suggested:

"We must build an academy to train and educate them. We will establish laws to protect them, and we will make them work and earn by exploring and adventuring into other worlds and facing dangers. But we must study this matter separately."

He finished his speech and looked at the President of Egypt to begin implementing the decisions.

At that moment, everyone realized that the meeting had ended, but they looked at Hussein, as if wondering whether he had more discouraging things to say!

Hussein thought for a moment, then decided to postpone what he had in mind and said:

"We will study the papyrus carefully, as new words have appeared on it that were not there before. This is strange, so we will inform you if we find anything later."

And so, the meeting ended, and everyone began executing the plan.

One month later...

Events started accelerating:

The first event occurred—the appearance of the "gates," and the sorcerers, shamans, and immortal trainees revealed themselves, but they were unable to enter the gates.

The temples suddenly appeared in Egypt, and Egypt concealed any information about them, as they might contain the knowledge of the ancient Egyptians.

Then the second event happened—superhuman individuals began to emerge, prompting nations to fight and kill them along with the sorcerers, immortal trainees, and shamans.

At this moment, the organization moved to protect them.

The third event took place—a mysterious disease began spreading across the world.

But in the critical moment when the third event appeared, Minister Hussein came requesting an urgent meeting, carrying shocking new information...

→ Next stop: New secrets are revealed. Will the plans change or not?
