I lowered my head and let out another quiet laugh. "...I really am an idiot."
Thinking about all the possibilities, a question quickly arose in my mind.
'Would I lose if Isis becomes an Outer Goddess, Amunet?'
There was a long silence from her side before an answer came. "Yes."
'...Of course.'
I had spent so much time trying to understand Amun-Ra's plan that I had failed to notice the most obvious possibility.
He didn't need to kill Osiris himself. All the plans for Set and everything else were just a decoy.
It was always his plan to kill Osiris himself...it was the only way to obtain his Authority.
He had already arranged everything.
If Osiris died, Isis would complete the eight pillars willingly.
If I tried to stop her, I would become her enemy who was trying to stop her from reviving her husband.
And if I had killed Osiris myself, I would only make things worse.
'...And now Isis has a reason to complete the eighth pillar.'
I looked at the woman sitting in front of me.
