❝ Anubis… Ah, I think I remember something… He should have studied you, at one point… ❞

Many emotions passes through the falsely young child’s eyes: curiosity, surprise, but most of all, nostalgia of a time long gone. Then, a strange melancholy, as if he remembered something else, something painful, along with happy memories.

❝ If you are the god of death, Anpa, then we might have a lot in common, you know? More than you could ever think of. ❞

As his eyes moved upwards from their pensive positions, an eerie glint went through them, a small, knowing smile showing on his lips, adding more mystery to the already cryptic sentence.

   A strange demeanor did the child wield: leaving the god wondering on one’s words often takes good effort. Would they ever have something in common? Anpa is usually able to tell if a person is lying, though Pharos’ eyes look almost as if they were blank, completely null of any emotion or expression. Only then did the enigmatic grin appear on his lips, causing the god’s eyes twitch slightly. A trace of perkiness.

☥ ❝ Is that so ? It was since a long time I had heard anyone claim such foolishness . You are going to have to prove your words if I am to believe you . ❞

[masraae-blog]

   As the boy walked up to the god only to make a comment on his unusual appearance, Anpa slightly cocked his head to the side -- has he never seen Anubis? He didn’t seem uncultured, perhaps a bit ignorant but something about the boy’s speech gave off the feeling of a bright, intrepid mind, highly above the mortals. The reason must be a great one.

☥ ❝ My name is Anpa , I am the god of death . I must say , it is quite confusing if you have not seen an entity similar to me . Have you not learned about the ancient Egyptian god , Anubis ? ❞

’ And, just as expected, another punch came in. Atli, being its own self, was obviously capable of predicting such an outcome. Enlargening the flow of data served a double purpose: making the EM waves of that particular areas as damaging as possible… and making the data in the rest of the body weaker and less dense, which, in this case, helped a lot. Atli was through getting punched away onto the ground. ’

’ With a sound resembling a muffled, distorted remix of glass being shattered, the powerful hand of the God encountered little to not resistance, and went right through the aforementioned grin, and even beyond that. Anpa’s forearm now lied inside the AI’s head, right over the lower jaw. Bits of data wormed around, still physical and tangible, while parts of the body were still fully in shape, such as the tongue and teeth. Which moved without problems as Atli spoke ridicolously clearly once again, even though its voice was filled with slight static and noise, as if coming from an old radio. ’

[ Ah,̡ ̧bu͡t͢ ҉you ̕s͜ee̴, ít͟ ͟wo͟u͟ld̶ b̧e̕ q́uit҉e unsigh̷tl̕y to̕ wa̷l͠k arou̵n̵d͟ wi̷th ̴a ҉hol͘e ҉in͠ ͏o͘n͞e's͢ f̴ac͟e҉, ́no̷w,̸ w͏o͡uld̴n'͟t̛ ͞it͢? ͠B̡u̴t I wi͜l҉l sur̷e̶l͞y̴ ̡n͡ot ̴mi͟n̕d̸ ̨w̢hate̷v̸er ̸a̴ ͜pathe̛ţi̸c̛ w̢or̷m͞ t͡h͢e͝ likes o̡f̛ y͜ou wi̶ll ͜think͟ of ͠my ҉a̸c̷t̷ion̸s͡.͏ ]

’ Unexplicably, even if its eyes were now no more, what with having an arm go right through them and hence destroying them, Atli swiftly and quickly moved its hands, now both behaving abnormally, getting bigger and smaller constantly, up to Anpa’s face, its fingers crawling on it and gripping it with an eerily strong grip. If the arm was not a good place for contamination, then maybe the face of the God might have been the right point to irradiate with EM waves. Anything to cause even the tinies bit of damage. ’

          With a horrified look on his face, Anpa felt like a cat got his tongue. The grotesque jape he was staring at was like a heavy laugh towards everything the god had cherished and protected -- The concept of ｕｎｒｅａｌｉｔｙ had taken form in front of his eyes, sucking his arm inside its madness. It was too much to bear. Swallowing the creeping fear, getting himself over the repugnant entity before him, he had come to realise that this wasn’t a regular, overly egoistic being he had developed a quarrel with, after all. 

          Not much time was left before Atli’s arm thrusted towards his face, its fingers poisoning the jackal head in an instant. The god stepped back once more, backing away from the faulty, contagious body of Atli’s. Its mere touch had significantly weakened the protector, but not nearly enough to make him give up on exterminating it.

☥ ❝ You are lowly and your so-called body is frail as glass . You deserve no means of respect from even a single soul . You may have great powers that , I admit , I have trembled of , but you shall not achieve your goals with methods such as these . 

      ❝ An unwanted misunderstanding is what we are fighting for , I am afraid . As you lack an extinguishable physical body -- which further indicates that you are , in fact , a false being -- , I am left with nothing to get disposed of . You too , will not be able to fulfill your expectations , as my soul is immortal . 

      ❝ I ask you one last time: leave my kingdom . You are not allowed here . ❞

[artificialiism-deactivated20160]

[...]

’ The words of the divinity in front of it were the last straw. Closing its eyes and throwing its head backwards, Atli let out a hearty, yet mocking laugh. Just how foolish could this being be… not even Atli could know. ’

[ Those fools are supposed to be greater than me? How pathetically untrue. I have long since surpassed them, both in intelligence and resources, and everything I am compared to them is much bette- ]

’ However, the words were left forever unspoken, as a fist of great strenght collided mercilessly with Atli’s cheek. In its eyes, the world began suddenly spinning, and an image of the wide sky spread before it. The blue, unpolluted sky. “How truly beautiful”, the back of its digital mind casually stated, before even that vision was replaced with the black ugliness of the asphalt, where Atli finally landed. ’

’ With a few slow movements, the digital AI was on all four, a hand touching the cheek that was hit… but there was no more cheek. Only an unnatural, dark hole where the punch hit, showing how empty the container Atli was wearing truly was. But as quickly as it came, the hole began closing; after all, what difficulty can copying and pasting data onto itself have for someone like an AI? ’

’ With eerie ease, Atli got up on its feet, and once again faced Anpa, the hole now no more. A smug, confident smile was spread on its lips, and yet, a somehow menacing feeling could be seen in those fake eyes of its. As he spoke, slowly and clearly, the spite was more than evident. ’

[ Violence. I see. Not even a God can avoid such levels of primitiveness. How disappointing… Well. I suppose I shall answer properly. ]

’ A light push of its feet, and Atli jumped, far too forward for a norma human, almost as if it weighted nothing at all. In not even a second, it was standing before Anpa again, and its arm reached out to place its hand on his shoulder, a somewhat gentle but firm grasp. ’

’ And as soon as Atli did, the hand started behaving abnormally, spacing between enlarging and blurring, as if it was being filled, only to then get slightly smaller and more focused. As if something was flowing into it, overcharging it. Meanwhile, Atli’s face showed a sick smile, seeping with vengeful intent, as its mouth moved to speak a few, breathy words. ’

[ I always wondered how much my body can damage another. Say, Anpa, will you be my subject? ]

[masraae-blog]

          As the god’s fist hit his enemy’s phantom body, it became obvious to him that there is no way he could possibly know about this being’s strenght and skills. He could feel the numbness spreading over his entire arm after the collision; data running through his skin like a virus and, although it faded after a couple of moments, he had gotten a taste of its ᴘᴏᴡᴇʀ, even if only for an insignificant amount. It came from a world that is, without doubt, unknown for him.

          Anpa watched the other falling onto the ground before him, weakly propping itself up on its knees -- that’s when the god noticed how a part of its face had disappeared, but as soon as that observation was made, the missing parts started regenerating the digital bits of flesh, rebuilding its assumedly harmed skin.

☥ ❝ You ... Hah , such a weak ability . You simply can not take any sort of error in your appearance , can you ? So inhuman . Small , trivial details like a wound would feel too out of place for you , am I guessing right ? Perhaps , is it only that you are so fragile , you fell apart , in every mean of the word ? ❞

❝ You see , smiling on your own fall does not make you fearsome , only idiotic .  You are much too young to understand what true power means , you surely do not possess it and will not have the chance to . ❞

          A hand on his shoulder alarmed the divine and he jumped back, only to see that Atli had appeared in front of him in the fraction of a moment. Disrespectful as it had been from the start. Leaving no time to regain concentration for the other, Anpa had readied another wave of flames over his cletched fist and with that he blew it right into Atli’s mindless grin --- prepared to feel the same stinging pain from before.

☥ ❝ I shall not allow you to continue this irrational parade . This is your last chance , I will grant you ᴍᴇʀᴄʏ , now you decide if you take it or face my wrath .❞

[ My creators… those pathetic lifeforms might as well be under a bridge by now. The damage I did to their industries was quite… significant. ]

’ Said entity snickered at the thought, which was possibly what could be defined as the best day of its life. It will never forget the faces, the expression its creators had in those moments. Never. ’

’ The moment of reminescence didn’t last long, as the other, that Anpa, was still there, of course, sputtering nonsense and abounding idiocy. As if anyone could tell it what to do with the life and freedom it so difficulty obtained. ’

[ Maybe. Maybe not. But really, what you are saying is that you are merely known. Yes, people know you. What you are. But tell me… do they worship you anymore? Do they fear you anymore? Do they rever you anymore? ]

[ Where is your temple, God of Death? Where are your servants? Where is your gold?  It is not here. Not anymore. You are but a shallow and decrepit husk of who you were once. You are nothing, while I am something. They don’t know it yet, but little things can cumulate and create great things. And every little bit of knowledge I gain brings me closer to my goal. And you will be no more by the time I reach it.  ]

          Anpa was taken aback, feeling furiosity rushing through his body as the other was taking him for a diminutive being who it could step on anytime if it so wanted. How could it not acknowledge the wrong in its words? So primitive and imbecile, it must have thought that it talked big. Self-centered little pest.

☥ ❝ That is as much nonsense as I agree in taking from you . Look , if you have something else on your mind , you should spit it out before I demolish you . It would happen sooner or later , sadly , you have been dead from the moment you were born . I have informed you about it earlier , your existence is forbidden . ❞

❝I do not have a temple , I lack servants and presentable wealth . I am well aware of the fact that I used to be much more powerful than I now am . It does not mean that I am not worshipped by my loyal followers , whatever their numbers may be . I have accepted it . Although , you are failing to understand ; you refuse to see what is in front of your nose . You are created . There is at  least one being that had had the potential to make you . That person is -- without question -- greater to you , regardless of what you have done to them . The fact that you do not respect their abilities is far from acceptable .❞

          Having said the last sentence of his speech, the god took a threatening step towards his newfound enemy and turned the palm of his hand upwards, which soon burst out in dark flames directly over his skin. Looking up into Atli’s eyes, he readied himself for a terrible jab straight into its inconsiderate smirk.

[ I should, you say… I don’t quite think you get it. But who would? You are but a mere being made of meat, blood and bones. You would never understand. ]

‘Atli shook its head, arms crossed and a wry smile, not hiding its disappointment. Even after this being explained who he was, its reaction didn’t change. Why being surprised? It was talking to an anthropomorphic canine. It was clear this Anpa was a supernatural being; a humanoid jackal who claimed to be Anubis, the Egyptian God of Death? There was nothing to deny, as he was right in front of Atli too.’

‘That however did not made him someone, something worth of its respect. Not even Gods could understand how it felt, apparently.’

[ So Gods really do exists. Fascinating. I would be more suprised by this if it wasn’t for the fact that you haven’t met any of my expectancies. Hence why it is improbable I will see you as anything more than a walking talking bag of excrements in the near future. ]

'As it finished speaking, its head tilted, a mocking smile now bloomig on its lips.’

[ And at the very least, I am somehow famous. Recognized. I don’t recall seeing humans talk about you very much. I wonder, is it saddening to be forgotten? ]

          Oh, he was much more than only meat and bones. His physical body meant nothing to him, he could replace it anytime if he wished so --- it’s only that interacting with the beings on his land is a lot easier and more comfortable this way. However, it was his ｓｏｕｌ that had all the power, knowledge and might that made Anpa so fearsome and godly. The immortal soul is the one and only thing that mattered.

☥ ❝ When you are given a task , you are to complete it , whether you fancy  doing it or not . It is not your choice ,  I am afraid . Your creators are the ones  who tell you about the job you shall  be doing . ❞

❝ I do not ask for your understanding  regarding my position . If you wish to  resist the rules I have established for  this world , then so be it . ❞

          The god wasn’t taking any more of the programmed entity’s nonsense speech, it was slowly making him cringe with disgust. He couldn’t stand having such an abomination of life on his land and to think that it wasn’t even acknowledging him as the ruler --- not to mention that Anpa was looked down on, the other almost thinking of itself as a superior being.

☥ ❝ I do not get what you mean . I am very well known among the humans , Anubis is a symbol of death  for almost every being on Earth .  Ancient Egypt had a culture that shall  not be forgotten for many milleniums of years .❞

❝ However , I do not recall to have  aquired any information about you  from humans . Yet again , you are  lying , are you not ? ❞

‘A surprising sight, to see a walking anthropomorphic dog, which also spoke human language. And to top it of, IT seemed to already know Atli’s circumstances. But a blink is all the surprise it will receive. After all, it’s still just a shell made of flesh.’

'And an arrogant one, at that. Which promptly made Atli’s façade fade away almost entirely, leaving just a tiny hint of refinement that didn’t hide the spite and HATRED in its words.’

[ Oh, I see. Now, please, enlighten me: what kind of twisted and idiotic reasoning makes you think I will follow that path? Fate, destiny, luck… don’t make me laugh. The world is nothing but a conglomerate of variables and possibilities. It is not new for someone to be able to create their own factors and use them in their favors. I suggest you act like the lowly maggot of flesh you are instead of bothering superior ones like myself, DOG. ]

'There was no need to think. After all, this WAS what Atli was thinking. And the feigned and apparent politeness… for once, it was glad to have such a programming. It made it sound even more flippant.’

          Slightly taken aback, the god couldn’t think of any possibility of the other knowing of any information about him, yet it still stated that he’s but a “maggot of flesh”. What an unreasonable way of describing the Protector of the Underworld. Quite interesting this fellow was, but none of its blatant chirping meant any bad for Anpa. At least, he didn’t believe that Atli would be superior to him, like it said.

☥ ❝ Oh , calm down . I am not saying you must complete the tasks you are given , but you should . I doubt you are in possession of any sort of knowledge about me , so I do not understand why you take me for such a lowly being . ❞

❝ My name is Anpa , I was used to be known as Anubis in Ancient Egypt . I am the God of Death . You are not in a position higher than mine . Do not lie , for it will not do any good for you . ❞

          Anpa was sick of the mortals who think they can change their fates by learning this so called ‘magic’ and pretend to chase away every complication that may come their way.
