The Gods continued their battles while Set asked his army to use the shields and show the rays of light to Horus who was momentarily blinded by it and Set quickly took the opportunity to attack hos nephew again and again and managed to knock him out.

As Set approached Horus and said that he was not worthy to be King while he quickly grabbed the God’s eyes and took them causing Horus to scream in agony while everyone around helpless and before Set kills Horus, Hathor stops him and promises to make him happy in exchange for the life of his lover and after Set became the new King of Egypt the people were made slaves and all the Gods who stood against him were killed one by one.

While a young man Bek refused to be enslaved and managed to escape from his masters. It continues into the City and reaches a palace where his girlfriend Zaya is held captive as a slave by the chief architect who works for Set. Bek surprises him when his master leaves and plans to run away with his girlfriend but Zaya tells him that it’s not a good idea because their whole country is suffering. Zaya wants Bek to steal the eye of Horus away from Set because she believes that their God is the only one who can free the people of Egypt.

She shows the man the architect’s library and sees a drawing of a pyramid where Set hides the source of his power. Zaya also showed him plans for the Vault where the architect had palced many traps to prevent any humans from stealing the treasures inside.

At the night, Bek follows the treasure Wagu from the top of the buildings and manage to jump onto the pile of gold inside the car. A large amount of these treasures were deposited inside a tunnel and eventually Bek reached an underground chamber and it collapsed right in front of Horus eyes.

The traps that guard the treasure are very dangerous because any mistake will cause someone to die or in an undesirable way. As Bek reached the last bridge but it started to collapsed quickly forcing the man to run fast and jump the magical eye and he got it at the last moment.

Bek quickly went back to his girlfriend to tell her the good news but he noticed something was wrong and apologized to him. Zaya’s master discovered their plan to steal their God and immediately surrounded Bek with soldiers and demanded his immediate capture.

However, Bek quickly made a move and used the eyes to blind the enemies giving them a chance to flee and quickly took the horses leaving the palace as he showed Zaya the eye of Horus but their fun is cut short when Zaya is hit by an arrow in her chest which kills her quickly in front of the man and with no other choice Bek quickly goes to a temple where Horus resides and enters the dark palace and he tries to ask God for help in saving his girlfriend.

As Horus quickly felt the presence of her eye and asked Bek to return it to him immediately but he refused unless he could save Zaya and with no choice Horus began to pray to the woman’s body and called Anubis that took Zaya’s soul to the Underworld.

Bek starts to get angry after seeing that he did the opposite of saving his girlfriend but Horus catches him and forces him to restore his eye and after Horus regains his sight he plans to finish off Bek for his disobedience but it stopped when Bek found out the way to the inside of Set’s pyramid.

Horus decides to use the man’s help and promises to restore Zaya’s life when he becomes the King of Egypt again and at the same time Set knows that the eye was taken from its hiding place and blames the architect for the absence this ability ans Set sends his men to fin the mortal responsible for the theft.

While Horus arrived at the top of a mountain with Bek where he prayed to his grandfather Rah, the Sun of God to regain his ability to fly temporarily, while he transformed and quickly flew away from Earth and eventually they reach what appears to be a spaceship above the world and they see the Sun of God Rah fighting a huge demon called Aphopis who wants to consume everything created.

God used his power and attacked the big monster and forced it to destroy the planet Earth. While Rah returned to his grandson an said that he knew the reason why Horus went to him and refused to be involved in against him and his uncle. He also considered all life equal because they were all created by him and he allowed Horus to take magical water from the ship capable of withdrawing Set’s power from within the pyramid.

The two flew back to Earth and crashed to the ground but before they could leave the area they were suddenly attacked by Set’s men. The God Horus easily resisted them even though he could not use jis full power yet and began to finish them off with his weapon.

However, one of the humans Set managed to escape and quickly returned to his master Set and told him the location of the two and about Horus promise to the mortal that he would bring the woman back to life which Set was happy to know he said it was not impossible. Set tells his army lieutenants to follow his nephew and orders them to kill the mortal Bek as well.

At the same time Hathor secretly watches over her lover and sees that Horus is no longer in her father’s temple but her treachery is discovered by Set who follows the women’s every move. Set planned to finish off Hathor for treason but she took off her braccelet and was quickly taken by the demon while she appeared in a safe place after putting back his bracelet back on and began to look for Huros knowing that she was the last one man’s ally.

Meanwhile, Bek noticed a storm coming from behind them and Set’s men came out riding on huge snakes. The two began to flee as Horus was not strong enough to fight the large creatures while the large snakes destroyed everything in their path as the two were desperate to save themselves. The big creature started to emit fire, luckily the two hidden in the big statue and quickly entered inside the rocks.

Horus tried to attack the black snake with his weapon which managed to trap the creature as it pierced his jaw but the soldier quickly attack him causing him to retreat and hide among the rocks. Horus realized they couldn’t hide forever and told Bek to lure one of the snakes while he dealth with the other. Bek quickly ran towards the temple and caught the creature’s attention causing it to chase after him. As it spews forth strong flames. While Horus managed to follow behind the snake and quickly climbed went straight to the cliff and Horus managed to escape before it completely fell.

The two managed to escape away from the rolling building just in time and there are surprised to see Hathor managed to locate him. Hathor walked towards the giant snake fearlessly while the soldier ordered him to burn it but the creature did not obey because Hathor had hypnotized him. The Goddess ordered the beast to set itself on fire and the creature began to breathe fire upon itself and it also killed its master.

Horus tells Hathor that he plans to break into Set’s pyramid and destroy his power by killing it in the desert fire and Hathor said that his plan will not work because the evil God has placed the Spinx inside the building to prevent those who want to enter inside and the only way to enter without dying is to answer the creature’s questions and Horus realizes that Thoth the God of wisdom can help him.

The three went to a forest and eventually reached a giant tree where they saw many copies of God working together. Horus wants the God of wisdom to help him defeat the Spinx but Thoth refuses and says his work is more important than solving some riddles. However, Bek began to use God’s nonsense against him by saying that he was too afraid of getting the wrong answer and because God was willing to risk his reputation agreed to accept the challenge while Horus praising Bek was shocked because he was quick to think a way.

The four went to the desert and reached the front of the pyramid where the stone was moving in unison luckily Bek was able to remember the new print from the library and was able to choose the right tunnel to the mysterious building. He quickly ran towards the center as the sands continued to move under his feet and he managed to stop the mechanism in place by turning a large wheel. As the group managed to get inside the place and reached a tunnel where a monster started to emerge from the ground.

The monster tested the group by asking a complicated riddle but the God of Wisdom was able to answer the question immediately. However, it turns out that God’s answer was wrong and caused the creature to attack and was able to hit Horus and splash against the wall, While God tried to answer several times but the creature became more aggressive but eventually it got the right answer and caused the monster to retreat.

As they reach the center of the Earth and plan to destroy Set’s power with magical water but there are quickly caught in a trap that separates the group Set wails on the spot and takes the brain of the God of wisdom while everyone and nothing to do. Bek tries to throw the water into the well but Set stop him and says that Horus lied to him about resurrecting Zaya because no one has the power to revive the dead.

Bek hesitated when he realized that he been tricked and God quickly took the water from him and threw it on the ground while Set laughed at their futile efforts and walked away and luckily Horus did escaped the trap of the last moments and managed to protect everyone from the falling rocks but Bek was very angry with Huros for deceiving him with a false promise.

Hathor saw this and tried to make amends by removing her bracelet and gave it to Bek so that he would have the treasure for Zaya to pass through the gates of the Afterlife. Huros tries to stop his girlfriend but she gives him a last kiss and is taken by the demons seeing Hathor sacrifice herself. Horus falls to the ground and eventually gives the bracelet to Bek so that he can save his girlfriend soul and before Zaya is judge Bek arrives just in time and reunites with her girlfriend who plans to save her.

At the same time, Set combined all the power he gained from the other Gods into himself giving him wings and extra ordinary power. He went to his father and revealed his plans and Set wanted to become an immortal and the only way to make that happen was to destroy the afterlife by having Aphopis devour the entire Kingdom.

Rah opens up and stops her son with her enhanced powers but Set manages to survive after combining the powers of God. It managed to stab Rah and took the old man’s spear and finished Rah with his own weapon.

Meanwhile,Bek notices that the door to the Afterlife begins to malfunction as Anubis tries to use his power to save the Kingdom. Zaya tells Bek that it’s back to Horus because only God has the power to stop Set and restore order to the world.

Bek returned to Horus again and the two decided to go to Set before he destroyed everything and fortunately a flaying chariot appeared in front of them prepared by the Gods to fight against the evil God and they quickly went to the location of Set.

Set arrives with Rah’s spear and lure the Aphopis towards the Niles and lets the monster devour everything in its path.

However, Bek manages to take Horus eye as Set throws it onto the roof. It quickly cast its eye towards Horus to regain its power and fell at the same time. While Horus decided to save his friend and they both fell from the giant tower to the ground.

Fortunately Horus was able to transform one last time and was able to save Bek before he fell. Bek was amazed when Horus regained his power even though he was still missing one eye, but God realized that he was not weak because of what he lost eyes but his hear is not in the right place.
