Set was staring at Abdullah, who was writhing in pain, unaware of anything else or the presence of another voice in the room.
The Pyramid Soul looked at Set, who showed no concern, but the Soul could do nothing—fearful that Set might kill him—so he remained silent, waiting calmly.
A few seconds passed before Set spoke again:
> "So, Thoth is the one who created you?"
The Pyramid Soul System replied:
> "Yes, Lord Set. Lord Thoth created me to help you and your heir."
Set continued with a sarcastic tone:
> "Help my heir? Well, since it's Thoth, he does as he pleases without asking anyone.
But since he knows the secrets of the universe, will my heir survive?"
He looked at Abdullah thoughtfully. He didn't know whether the boy would survive—but deep inside, he believed it was impossible.
The Pyramid Soul quickly responded:
> "I honestly do not know, Lord Set, whether your heir will survive or not.
But Lord Thoth told me his chances of success have became to just 1%, and even he is uncertain.
Still, he hopes your heir will succeed, Inshallah."
Set nodded in thought and said:
> "Because of his father...?
No matter. It's all in the hands of Allah."
Then he continued questioning:
> "So, how will you help my heir?"
The Pyramid Soul replied:
> "Lord Thoth designed me as a system—similar to the ones in modern human technology or fictional narratives.
Therefore, I will merge with Abdullah's system and become one with him. I will support him with the knowledge Lord Thoth left behind."
Set was slightly surprised:
> "Thoth will leave behind his knowledge? The very knowledge he didn't even share with Ra?
He'll leave it for my heir?
Is my heir fortunate... or something else?"
He turned toward the Pyramid Soul, who began to feel threatened, a massive pressure surrounding him as if standing on the edge of death.
But Set kept speaking, indifferent to the Soul's suffering:
> "Is my heir merely a game?
Or is there a divine plan set by the other Egyptian gods?"
Trying to hold himself together under the weight, the Soul replied:
> "I do not know, Lord Set.
But there is a message from Lord Thoth, which says:
> 'Trust me, Set. You know I've helped you more than anyone else.
I am the one who wants you to have an heir.'
> Also, Lord Thoth held a meeting with three other gods to help your heir."
Set calmed a little, releasing the pressure he was emitting, then said:
> "Tell me in detail."
The Soul replied:
> "As you wish, Lord Set. But first, I must merge with Abdullah's system.
My time and energy are limited. I need to help him, even just a little.
I wanted to merge earlier, but I didn't want to offend you."
Set understood, looked again at Abdullah, and gave the Soul permission.
The Pyramid Soul moved quickly, beginning the merge with Abdullah's AI system.
Before the system could respond, it detected an anomaly—almost triggering an alarm.
Set immediately intervened, isolating the AI system. In the dark space, a system interface appeared, flooding with warnings:
---
[Warning: System breach attempt in progress]
[System executing protection protocols... Connecting to internet and primary AI system...]
[Warning: Connection failed—No internet or main system access]
[Merge progress: 10%... 20%... 30%]
[System lockdown initiated to block intrusion]
[Lockdown failed due to unidentified force... Initiating self-destruction to protect citizen data]
[Destruction halted by an unknown entity]
[System requests citizen Abdullah to intervene and protect data]
[Merge progress: 70%... 90%... 100% — Merge complete]
---
Set observed the rapid alerts with no reaction.
Then the Pyramid Soul spoke again—now fully merged with the system:
> [Thank you, Lord Set, for assisting with the breach and integration.]
Set replied:
> "It doesn't matter. All of this is for my heir.
How do you feel now?"
> [I feel balanced, Lord Set. I can now use my abilities more efficiently, and I've already scanned Abdullah's condition quickly and accurately.]
Set said:
> "Show me Abdullah's condition."
The Soul System responded:
---
> [Command confirmed… Displaying host status]
---

Set looked at Abdullah's status and smiled when he noticed the Egyptian ethnicity percentage had increased by 1%.
But a hint of concern and care showed in his eyes.
The Pyramid Soul said:
> "I tried to help, but unfortunately, there are things I cannot read due to the inheritance being incomplete.
Any reckless attempt may result in the heir's death."
Set's cold expression returned, and his eyes lost their warmth again.
Then he asked:
> "Tell me in detail about the meeting Thoth had with the other three gods.
Who are they?"
The Pyramid Soul answered:
> [As you wish, Lord Set. Let me tell you in detail...]
---
In the distant past…
Inside a temple suspended in a sky unknown to all…
A round table stood in the center, with Thoth sitting alone—calm, patient, and smiling.
The temple's beauty, its decorations, and geometric patterns were all inspired by ancient Egyptian civilization.
Less than five minutes later, three powerful, mysterious gods arrived.
They looked at Thoth and took their seats.
One goddess spoke—her sharp intelligence and quick temper evident:
> "Is your goal truly to help Set, Thoth?
Or is this just another one of your games?"
Thoth replied with a gentle smile:
> "You know I don't lie about this.
I called you here for the matter of helping Set.
And I know that everyone here has the will to help."
