I wander if her beef is with the gods like Ra that replaced and maybe even erased the ancient gods like the frog and serpent statue we saw in earlier chapters
Sekhmet wants to defeat Osiris, plain and simple. It's only that any other gods that step one milimieter out of line also get punished by her in the meantime, because, well, that's what she exists for: Sekhmet is Ra's law enforcer that punishes gods and humans alike by bringing hell on them, if they take one single half step out of line. She is the embodiment of divine punishment that spares no one.
Nope, Sekhmet works for Ra, and Ra isn't against the ancient gods, it's just that Ra and the ancient gods now just have different (but complementary) functions: Ra is the chief overseer of creation, and the ancient gods oversee chaos and nothingness, which means their realms are separate but cant exist without each other.
So wait... Is HTE an ancient god then? How is Ra not one of them?? Sekhmet is referring to herself as the ancient god in this case. Her powers are back all the way.
By that definition I would guess she
1. Doesn't want a boss
2. Likes chaos cuz it's fun
3. Something else we dk yet cuz she talked about wanting revenge
Doesn't want a boss?
2nd: That's literally her god job. She gives them what they deserve. She makes karma happen, yo.
3rd: she's wanting revenge on Osiris. She literally said in this chapter.
No, Ra's not an ancient god, it's just that she was *born* from the very darkness and chaos in the ancient gods' realm, they mention it's her birthplace (she's the god ofthe sun and her birth meant to beginning of light, and the separation of light from the darkness, according to real world mythology). Her daughters' mirror *connects* to the darkness in the ancient god's realm, because that darkness was Ra's birthplace.
3. Those were Isis' thoughts, not Sekhmet's. Isis is the one who wanted revenge, and she's refering to her persisting feelings from season 1, where she was an emotional time bomb so bent on revenge that she'd go for it even if the only way to get it meant everyone's destruction (like, when she was about to flood Egypt). Those thoughts signify she understood that what Sekhmet means to do now is finally let her way (her revenge) by wrecking destruction, but *only on Osiris*
That really makes so much sense. I'm still new to the whole mythology aspect. It's kinda hard to fully grasp! So was Sekhmet's powers stuck in chaos because of Osiris??
Omg I love how much more involved real mythology is in al this! I thought the mirror wasn't a real myth object??
I don't know what Sekhmet wants anymore
