Didn't they at the beginning of the story said it was bc Seth cursed him thinking it was his son? And since he loves Seth doesn't want to break the curse that is preventing him from becoming a proper god.
Also, when Isis gave birth to him she was very weak, so maybe that's a factor too(?
I thought he could not be come a god because of orisis the same thing with Anubis. I thought Orisis was the one controlling their growth. I thought Horus doesn't want to become a god because he will forgot everything but I thought he could not control it.
Yep, in chapter 144 it says Anubis and Horus' stunted growth was because of Seth's unconscious wish, and that *even Seth* had to awaken as a god once (which means this is Seth's *second* time as a demigod, not the first one). In chapter 144 Horus says to Seth: "when you cast the 'curse' it opened my Eye of Truth (...) what I saw saw was just out of reach of your consciousness, the sound of your soul (...) your experience of awakening as a god, which you'd long forgotten
That explanation continues in chapter 145, when Horus says: "Haven't you ever wondered why I never became a god? (...) This entire tragedy was caused by gods trying to live like humans do. (...) As gods form families and raise children (...) gods will become more like humans". This complements what Horus explained to Anubis in a flashback of chapter 62: "Gods began to live like humans, make mistakes like the humans, and love like the humans. But by doing so, the gods ended up becoming weak. We (Horus and Anubis) are unable to become gods because we're weak like they are (weak like they have become)"
Thank you for the explanations! Its been a while since I’ve read the previous chapters, seems like I forgot
Yeah, totally. I remember the curse of Seth on Horus bc the fact that he isn't getting rid of his curse and not becoming a god just so he doesn't forget Seth is so romantic to me. I fr love Seth and Horus as a couple.
And the fact that Horus has been down bad since he was a little kid is just sooo good
Nah, we got you. Tbh I don't have those explanations that fresh either, I just remember the essential, but it has totally been a while since those chapters hahaha
Horus is the son of Osiris (a god) and Isis (a god), how come he himself is a demigod? What else godhood is related to
