Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 412: The Goddess

Around this period of time, the political atmosphere and situation in Egypt wasn't exactly the best, rather, it was in extreme turmoil.

For dozens of years, Egypt had gone through numerous revolts and infightings among its own citizens, which in return caused the instability in its society.

The main problem was the social inequality that was happening in the society. The Egyptians at that time were divided into different castes; from top to bottom were the nobles, the artisans, the soldiers, the farmers and the lowest of all, the servants.

While the people of a high caste were spending their lives in extravagance, the lower castes generally lived in constant hunger and poverty.

This phenomenon became increasingly apparent with the emergence of a grave problem with the Nile River and the weather, in general, being very unreliable. These two factors led to constant crop failure, which no doubt added to the suffering experienced by people from the lower castes.

Despite all these problems, Egypt was very rich in resources, hence always being pressured by the neighboring kingdoms. These led the previous pharao to made certain allies.

Within years Egypt became dependent on the country across the ocean to support them against their many foes. Said country, their main supporter, was none other than the Roman Republic.

Klea's father, the previous pharao, had made a severe mistake by being too dependent on outsiders. He had brought the outsiders in, letting all those people involve themself Egypt's policies for mere convenience, such as support against Egypt's enemies.

His other mistake was fighting for power against his own family, killing his eldest daughter and

coronate the young Klea as the new queen of Egypt and force her to marry her own brother to receive the blessing of the people.

Now that Klea's father, the king, had suddenly died, the Romans had decided to send one of their generals to overlook the matters in Egypt once again. The giant supporter needs to ensure Egypt's stability and also their future investment.

…

Today, the royal palace of Egypt was visited by an important guest, a leading Roman general and statesman, a middle-aged man named Pompei Magnus.

The main objective of this Roman general was to see if the two young rulers to be capable leading their biggest investment.

This would lead to putting their card into one of them whether it was Ptolomy, the 12 years old boy, or his sister, Cleopatra the Seventh.

Although Klea never likes her brother, she doesn't wish to be put against each other. Even more, being in favor would also mean being controlled by the general just like it was with her father.

Klea never liked the fact her father crowned her as the new queen, as she disliked those responsibilities that came with the position. She felt they were just unnecessary burdens and definitely weren't things she wanted to fight over with her brother.

In doubt, she remembered the advice of someone who held dear to her.

An encouragement to do whatever she wanted to do and to not let other people decide things for her. Therefore, Klea thought of the arrival of this Roman general as an opportunity. An opportunity to resolve things, once and for all.

The moment the Roman general had an audience with her, Klea swiftly used her [Enchantment] spell to make the former be favorable of her brother, approving Ptolemy to be the ruler of Egypt, despite his young age.

She also made sure all the Egyptian advisers showed their unprecedented support for the decision to make her brother the ruler of Egypt.

As for her, to make sure Egypt remained undivided, Klea gave herself the identity of an outcast and let her other sister Arsinoe become the queen of Egypt.

Therefore, at the end of all things, Klea had successfully freed herself, and completely broke the restraint her father placed upon her.

Before leaving, Klea decided to use her newfound power and prepared a special ceremony, as a gesture of present to her former subjects.

…

Near the river of Nile,

Klea brought her hand up to the air. She concentrated her mind, focusing on the three different colors of her elements that flowed throughout her body and into her spirit core.

[Storm Haze]

Klea slowly opened both her clenched palms. Swirls of water were dancing on her left hand, looking like raging streams and torrents. While erratic sparks of blue-colored lightning appeared just above her right hand. The extraordinary energy that came with the activation of her spell caused Klea's body to slowly levitate, furthering away from the ground.

Up above the sky, numerous clouds could be seen gathering, before congregating together into a massive thundercloud. When the storm reached its peak build-up, Klea added an extra layer of water element. In the next instant, the sky was covered by drops of water that gushed down like crazy.

[Rain]

Klea continued to cast the spell for a few moments every day for the next 10 days and, in the end, the nearly dried Nile River magically flooded with water again.

With it, the long period of drought the Egyptians experienced had finally come to an end.

Klea might not be the queen of Egypt, but she was afterward known as the Goddess of Egypt, the daughter of Iris, due to her godlike actions.

During these ten days, Constantly using her spells to the maximum, she finally felt a new understanding of her spirit core. After a few days of close door meditation, finally, a notification abruptly popped into Klea's mind, bringing unexpected surprise.

[Congratulations! You have reached a breakthrough in the Water Element]

[Congratulations! You have reached a breakthrough in the Wind Element]

[Congratulations! You have reached a breakthrough in the Lightning Element]

[Congratulation! You have reached rank 8]

[Battle power 44 (35)]

[Spirit force 251 (176)]

[Wind spirit - high foundation]

[Water spirit - high foundation]

[Lightning spirit - high foundation]

[Acolyte rank 8]

All three elements breakthrough simultaneously and pushed her to the next acolyte rank. Seeing the information on her hand, all her previous worries were gone instantly. It was now filled with a wish to show her progress to her friends.

Now that she already did everything she planned to in Egypt, Klea chose a dozen royal guards and took one of the best ships to facilitate her upcoming journey.

Just like a bird out of the cage, she was finally free.

"Time to visit the others. I wonder how they are..." Klea murmured, as her eyes gazed into the vast ocean.
