Chapter 793
Episode 196. Big Snake, Ameris (2)
When Jin suddenly lowered his head and showed his respect, Ameris cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed for a moment. Hedo followed Jin and bowed his head to Ameris.
[Hmmmm, yes. Also, my eyes weren’t wrong. They’re not very bad quality guys.]
“I will formally introduce myself again. I am Jin Runkandel, the head of the Bamal Union and the minor head of the 59th Runkandel.”
“I am a member of the Bamal Union… … Cadre? Jin, am I an executive?”
“If Sir Hedo is not an officer, who else would be an officer?”
“but. yes. What is the correct job title?”
“Well, to the extent of Chief of Staff.”
“It’s okay. I am Hedo, the chief of staff of the Barmal Union and the butler serving Lady Sandra. As I said before, there is no last name.”
Ameris smiled as if the two were cute.
[Sandra seems to be pointing to one of the kids outside the pit. A somewhat eccentric child and a calm child. Which one are you? Surely it’s not a cat?]
She was clearly aware of the existence of Valeria and her party, who were stationed ten miles away.
“The former.”
[It must have been a lot of trouble. However, thanks to that child, you didn’t fall even though you had that kind of power.]
Hedo couldn’t figure out what that meant, but he just nodded.
A moment of silence passed. Ameris seemed lost in his thoughts, as she rummaged through the faint memories of her own.
[…] … Then you should tell me who this body is. It took me a while to recall my memories. This body is Ameris, an immortal born with an unfortunate fate. When I was awake, mortals called me a great snake.]
“You are not a dragon.”
[Not very unrelated to dragons. They are like my distant descendants.]
“… … Did you say distant descendants?”
No one knows exactly when dragons appeared in the world. Even the dragons did not know their beginnings. They only know that ‘they were created by their own gods’.
According to Ameris, Jin and Hedo just learned an old secret of the world.
[Yes. Now that we’ve introduced each other, I’d like to ask you a question. You said you were in a position to stop the resurrection of the sun god, so why did you covet the underworld that this body protects?]
“Currently, in Inse, a monstrous group called the Sunsin Church is in full swing. We’re at odds with them, and we recently learned that there may be a gate to the Pandemonium here. Can I explain the situation you are in right now?”
[Let’s listen.]
For a while, Jin told Ameris about royalties.
It was about the ‘monster’ that started appearing in the Geomhwang Temple. After the disappearance of Gleec, the story of the birth of the god of blood, and the explanation of the Sun God, which is presumed to be behind the incident, continued. Naturally, the composition of the great powers was also included.
Ameris groaned, occasionally experiencing severe headaches as she listened attentively to Jin’s story. It was a headache caused by her memories rising, sinking, jumbled together.
“… … So, the excavation was just to confirm the reality. There is too little information about the sun god, so I thought I would be able to respond more flexibly to enemies if I knew something. To be honest, I didn’t expect it at all, but this is how I met Ameris-sama.”
After the explanation, Ameris slowly nodded.
[Right… … . I roughly understand your position. It’s nothing compared to before this body goes to sleep, but the ground is in a pretty dizzy situation.]
“When did you fall asleep?”
[I don’t remember the exact time. However, earlier you said that it is now 1803, and that the Myungwang family, who made great contributions to defeating the evil spirits, perished 50,000 years ago. Solderlet managed to seal the 77 and keep them alive.]
“That’s right.”
[It is clear that I fell asleep much earlier than 50,000 years ago. Because when this world was divided into two halves, I was given the fate of guarding the boundary and fell asleep while fighting.]
The ‘fate of guarding the boundary’ that Ameris said was not just about blocking those who seek the underworld.
Her destiny was to keep the underground and the surface from mixing.
[It was after the death of Kingelo, the sun god, that this world was divided into above and below ground. At that time, those who were sent to the underground are what you call demons, and those sent to the surface are humans and other creatures.]
“Why shouldn’t the two mix?”
[Because that is the new order. The sun god died, and the perfect world he controlled disappeared.]
perfect world.
The Sun Gods that Jin had seen so far had the belief that the world would become perfect once the Sun God was resurrected. Jin and Hedo thought about that and continued to listen to Ameris.
[However, there were those who could not bear the sense of loss given by the world that had passed from perfection to imperfection. Naturally, they couldn’t accept the new order. Birth and death, beings who deviate from their given destiny, damage to the causal law caused by it, and the old order that goes astray the more you try to restore it. because of those factors. Such people naturally gathered in one place and began to pray for the resurrection of the sun god.]
“That must be the beginning of the Sun Godism. Ameris-nim was to prevent such people from finding the underground.”
[Yes. But not all of me was like that. Even those who were the head of this body dreamed of reviving the sun god.]
Ameris revealed that she originally had nine heads. A large nine-headed serpent, a mysterious being that can often find similar elements in the mythology of any continent.
[I had to fight those heads too. I remember killing one out of a total of five, and one was killed by the Myungwang family. I don’t know about the other three. There has been no activity so far, so it must have already disappeared or is below this body, but I can’t feel any energy right now.]
“Then, how do the rest of the heads who oppose the resurrection of the sun god… … .”
[Four heads, including mine. This body is in front of you, and two of the other three were also killed by the Myungwang family at that time. I hope the one remaining head remains underground somewhere.]
From Ameris’ point of view, her head was kind of divided into good and evil. The five who want to resurrect the sun god are evil and the opposite is good. There were three heads for evil and one for good.
[What mortals call dragons was formed from the death of my heads. With that fragment, the immortals who were born at the time formed dragons.]
“A newly born immortal? Wait, then Ameris-sama… … Didn’t he exist longer than the beings now called gods?”
[Recite the names of the gods you know.]
When Jin said the names of all the gods he knew, Ameris shrugged.
[Except for Solderlet and Clam, all of them are immortals I don’t know about. However, my memory is not perfect, so there may be people who know me among them.]
“We have awakened such Ameris-sama… … .”
[Whoops, that’s by swinging a weapon on the top of my body without fear. And to talk a little more about Solderlet, he is the immortal who taught me swordsmanship.]
As soon as Jin heard those words, he could understand why Ameris’ swordsmanship was oddly familiar.
As Solderlet’s contractor, she subconsciously sensed his traces. Looking at Ameris’ swordsmanship.
“Solderett personally mastered the swordsmanship… … Were you close to him?”
[He was an immortal who conformed to the new order of the world. He must have been very close to me. When he reminds me of the joy of the object called the sword, he has clear memories of the very fun. You said you were his contractor.]
“That’s right.”
[Perhaps it is not a coincidence that you met this body today, but fate.]
“I hope so. In the first place, we and Ameris have the same intention, so in the future we will have to help each other. By the way, Miss Ameris.”
[Say.]
“There is one part of the story that is difficult to understand. It’s about the Myungwang family.”
[Do you wonder why they murdered all my heads of different minds?]

“That’s right.”
[Simple story. The Ming Dynasty at the time… … From your point of view, you can call it the ancient Myungwang clan. The ancient Myungwang clan, like all other mortals, was divided in power. Those who want to resurrect the sun god and those who want to stop it.]
“Of course it seemed so.”
[The ancient Myeongwang family were the only beings who could cross the ground and the underground by their own will at the time. Of course, every time that happened, I had to risk fighting this body, but sometimes even I had to avoid fighting. They were mortals endowed with too much power.]
Although Ameris did not directly explain her own inaction, Jin clearly assumed that the woman in the past had powers that were on a different level than she is now. In the first place, even now, she only had a ‘swordsmanship sparring’ with Jin and He, and her true identity was not revealed.
“Give me… … . Is there someone else who shared power with the ancient Myeongwang clan?”
[Kingelo, the sun god. The reason why the ancient Myeongwang clan was so strong was because the sun god’s biggest thought dwelled in them. Because of this, they were divided into those who wanted to resurrect the sun god to have greater power and those who wanted to accept the new world.]
It was a secret secret that even the Myeong royal family in Lapla Rosa did not know. There was a disconnected and obliterated history between the ancient Myeongwang clan, as Ameris said, and the current Myeongwang clan.
[Perhaps the Myungwang clan, who became brothers with you, are the descendants of the latter. If the electrons had remained so far, the ground would have already been reduced to ashes. Mortals imbued with the thoughts of the sun god naturally tend to destroy the earth. Hedo, there are beings like you who can withstand temptation without falling.]
“Ameris. Are you saying that I also have the thoughts of the sun god?”
[Where did the monstrous strength you must have had from birth come from? If you grew up wrong, you would probably have become a great villain whose name will remain in the history of the earth. The sun god’s thoughts lead the target to the fate of falling into madness and destroying the ground. To find the altar in the underworld and beyond.]
