Alex glanced at those people who were clearly an archaeological team, then didn't pay them any mind and went down from the other side of the pyramid.
A moment later, he found the main entrance and flashed inside.
After entering was a passageway. On both sides, the towering walls were covered with characters Alex didn't recognize.
Going a bit deeper, there were some murals.
In the murals, countless people were kneeling and worshipping a woman.
Judging by her clothing and appearance, she was clearly dressed in an Egyptian style.
She held a scepter high, with a crescent moon behind her.
Alex only glanced at it a few times before continuing forward.
Soon, he saw another mural.
In this mural, several planets were depicted at the highest point. Judging by their arrangement, it seemed to be some kind of celestial chart.
Unfortunately, Alex didn't understand astronomy.
But he could see that beneath those planets, objects resembling spacecraft were depicted.
From those spacecraft, all kinds of strange beings descended.
These alien creatures erupted into a great battle with the humans on the ground, while behind the humans stood the Egyptian woman from the first mural, holding a scepter, backed by a crescent moon.
It looked as if that woman was leading humanity in a fight against alien life forms that were clearly from outer space.
"Really interesting."
Alex continued exploring forward. At that moment, his ears twitched, and he caught voices coming from the entrance.
"Look, the isotope data shows that this pyramid was built five thousand years ago. This matches up with some records I found in the Egyptian Book of the Dead."
"Professor Nick, look here. These are ancient Egyptian."
"Let me see."
"Mm, it says here that a great deceased one dwells here, and only those who are chosen can see her."
"Look, it says her, not him!"
"That means the one dwelling here is female."
"Most likely the 'Queen of the Night' from the Book of the Dead."
Alex found it quite interesting. It really felt like visiting a museum while listening to a tour guide's explanation.
So he simply stopped and listened to see what other information Professor Nick would reveal.
Footsteps sounded.
Then Professor Nick said with a trembling voice, "It really is the 'Queen of the Night.' Look at this mural."
"The Book of the Dead records that Princess Lily Ankarine was tempted by the god of death and became the embodiment of evil."
"She used many unbelievable abilities and nearly overturned the ruling regime."
"She could turn day into night, bring the dead back to life, and possessed a large number of servants."
"But in the end, she was subdued and expelled from Egypt."
"After that, as my research progressed, more and more clues pointed to the fact that after leaving Egypt, this Egyptian princess came here."
"And I suspect that this 'Queen of the Night' was not tempted by any god of death at all, but that her genes mutated."
"She may have been the world's first superhuman."
Alex froze for a moment.
'That doesn't seem right.'
'The entire series of The Boys clearly shows that superhumans exist because they are injected with Compound V.'
'They aren't naturally occurring superhumans.'
However, even after watching three seasons of the show, Alex still hadn't seen where Compound V actually came from.
The show never traced it back.
So it really was hard to say whether, in the universe of The Boys, naturally awakened superhumans could exist.
At this time, Professor Nick exclaimed again, "What is this?"
"Aliens?"
"A war?"
"This is impossible!"
"This is too absurd. Could it be that this pyramid is just a prank?"
"How did the 'Queen of the Night' end up leading humanity against aliens!"
"But Professor, isotopes don't lie, unless people five thousand years ago built this pyramid specifically for a prank."
"But is that possible?"
Alex didn't find it all that strange. Since the 'Queen of the Night' could be assumed to be the first superhuman, then why couldn't alien civilizations exist?
He himself could transmigrate.
'What is impossible anymore?'
Professor Nick seemed to calm down. He said, "Let's go. We'll continue deeper."
"Remember, don't touch anything."
"Although I don't believe the so-called pyramid curse exists, there's no guarantee the ancients didn't poison their artifacts."
"You should know that Egyptians five thousand years ago could already make mummies, which shows they had their own system of chemical knowledge."
"Brewing poisons wouldn't be difficult for them."
When Alex heard the footsteps starting to come in his direction, he flew deeper into the passage first.
In the blink of an eye, a large door appeared before him.
On the double stone doors, there stood a statue on each side. They were Anubis, the jackal-headed god worshipped by the Egyptians.
"It's just like a gate of the dead."
Alex scanned the scene inside the stone doors and found that inside was a hall. In the center of the hall were stone platforms, and on each lay a dried corpse.
It had the feel of a sacrificial hall.
He extended one finger and gently pushed the doors open.
———
While Alex was carrying out his archaeological expedition, far across the ocean, in New York City, the entire city had boiled over because Homelander failed to appear at the hearing on time.
"He didn't come!"
"He didn't come!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is now two o'clock in the afternoon!"
"The hearing regarding Homelander has already been underway for half an hour, yet our protagonist, our hero, Homelander, has not appeared!"
"What does this represent!"
"Does this mean that Homelander doesn't take the entire federal system seriously at all?"
"Does this mean he simply doesn't care about these things?"
"This is far too arrogant, far too outrageous."
"And up to now, Vought's spokesperson has made no explanation regarding this matter."
"In fact, they've shut down Seven Tower!"
"Don't let me guess it right. I bet Vought has already lost control of Homelander."
———
On the streets of New York, on a massive electronic screen, a news host was spitting saliva and speaking excitedly.
["I think that through today's incident, it's necessary to sound the alarm for our country and for the military."]
["We must carefully and seriously reexamine these superhumans."]
["Today, Homelander can do whatever he wants and ignore a summons from the Supreme Court."]
["Then tomorrow, other superhumans will be able to disregard the law."]
["And the facts have already proven that Vought can no longer control every superhero as they promised!"]
["This is a crisis!"]
["An unprecedented, once-in-a-lifetime crisis!"]
As the host screamed himself hoarse.
On the street, a white woman shook her head, "I don't believe Homelander is that kind of person."
At that moment, her phone rang.
A close friend sent her a video.
As soon as the video began, a title appeared on the screen in red letters, [Protest! Strong protest! Protest against the military for concealing the truth, protest against politicians taking things out of context to smear Homelander, to smear a true hero!]
