Nope, Seth only thinks Ra instigated everything because he doesn't know Ra's real goal for wanting to overthrow Osiris, which was to stop Osiris from basically destroying Egypt but reducing it to nothing but a desert. Ra was the only one who noticed Osiris using his position as ruler of Egypt to secretly destroy Egypt: Osiris was secretly turning Egypt into a desert (leaving humans with less and less food) just in order to be able to keep Seth close by.
NO WAY, wow thank you for telling me this!! would you happen to have the chapter references for this content? it’s been so long since i last reread and i don’t remember such major and important details
i love that there’s readers like you who are able to retain key information after 150+ updates, doing community service for others who may miss it (me)
The part about Osiris turning Egypt into a desert and making Seth the god of war, etc, to keep him close is in chapter 35. It also says Ra had originally cared for Egypt like a garden, so he was basically destroying her garden.
Then in chapter 47, when Sekhmet arrives after Seth's rape, puts Osiris to sleep and helps Seth restore Anubis, she says: "I thought we would finally get rid of him (Osiris), but there's been a strange turn of events. How many steps ahead of us is that bastard anyway?" The "we" she talks about here definitely includes Ra: I think she meant that she told Seth about Nephthys infidelity because she and Ra had hoped Seth would be able to defeat Osiris, since Seth was Osiris' weakness and Osiris would never harm him, but they hadn't expected Osiris to realize about their plan in advance, kidnap Anubis and take him hostage to threaten Seth.
So, when Sekhmet saw what Osiris was doing to Seth, she intervened to help Seth (but note she was only able to intervene because Osiris was... distracted... Osiris was still "the stronger god" after all). She helped Seth restore Anubis' body. Then she gave Seth the clue to let Isis see the truth about Osiris ("throw him in the river") and it was while trying to follow her advise and get Osiris in the river, that Seth finally discovered the way to successfully kill him (mostly because Osiris in a way told him how, just like Ra and co. had hoped, since Seth was Osiris' only known weakness).
you also gifted me context paired with specific chapters and then provided so much analysis/observation with explanations ?? you are amazing. your kindness has reached my heart. i love you so much please don’t die.
Haha, you're making me blush lmao. But I actually forgot to mention on last but important reference: chapter 153 where Sekhmet lets Anubis see a flashback of one of Ra and Osiris' old secret conversations. That conversation shows not only how Osiris was also the one who started wars (same as it was said in chapter 35), but that he resented Ra for VERY illogical reasons that were out of Ra's control (whereas Ra's secret anger towards him was completely justified, given how Osiris was not only NOT fulfilling his divine role, but even causing chaos by manipulating his people and his surroundings to turn however he one-sidedly wanted, not caring about the destruction he saw that this was slowly bringing to those around him, and to Egypt).
it’s confirmed ra instigated or played a role in the start of all wars in egypt and seth was always the one to clean up the mess by quelling it and protecting his people for thousands of years??? and the one time he had a weakness, his son, ra RAN it to the ground getting him raped, beat, feel used, and all bad things under the sun… instead of punishing ra and orisis everyone turned their backs on seth because he showed human emotion towards being betrayed and getting sa’d??
im sick to my stomach
