Chapter 795,
Chapter 196. Big Snake Ameris (4)
“I don’t know what you mean.”
When Valeria spoke, Jin explained to her the conversations he had had with Ameris for a while.
“…Ah, so you’re saying that I also have the thoughts of the sun god?”
[Yes. The thoughts of the sun god that this body has seen so far have always been of two kinds. The thought to deny death and the thought to maintain it. But in your case… a more complex will is permeated. It’s such a will to observe and record something.]
Suddenly, Jin remembered what Orgal said in the past when he gave information about the Holy Land.
-[Yes, the Holy Land of Zipple. The fully magical bodies that have almost been opened are no different from half immortals as long as they can use that space. All wounds can be healed just by staying still in the Holy Land.]
-Is there a special reason that only the perfect magical body reacts to the remaining energy?
-[Well, I don’t know why either. I’m just guessing that it’s because a certain will of that existence dwells among the possessors of the perfect magical body. Maybe the perfect magic body is a blessing that was only granted to beings with the will in the first place.]
Valeria also remembered going to Ziple’s ‘Holy Land’ and recovering from a fatal wound.
“Observation and recording…”
Those are the words that represent the mission given to Valeria as a Hester.
[Yes, Valeria Heister. It may be difficult for you to understand, but to me, meeting you and confirming that peculiar thought is very meaningful to me.] “
What is the relationship between my mission and Ameris-sama’s fate?”
[I’ve always had doubts about the sun god’s thoughts. Because I don’t know why he died. At least as far as I know, there was no one in the world who could kill him. If so, he would have committed death himself, so why did the lingering desire to deny death remain as a thought?]
That was the question Ameris pondered over for the longest time.
She was the one who suffered the most when the sun god died, but she had to take on the role of protecting the new ‘imperfect order’.
Enduring the weight of an unwanted fate, she always had no choice but to think about the death of the sun god.
If the sun god ceased to exist on his own, why did his thoughts remain and if someone killed him, how was that possible?
If it is the former, only the thought of maintaining death should remain; if it is the latter, only the thought of denying death should remain.
Ameris had no choice but to continue the tough fight without finding an answer.
But now Ameris was getting a clue through Valeria.
[This body still does not know the whole story of the death of the sun god. However, the meaning of the special thought left to you is not clear. He wants to watch this world through you. What happens in a world that has lost its integrity, what kind of wind blows, what kind of lives are born.]
“Ah.”
[Also, it would be a gaze full of affection for creatures, not madness or resentment. Since it’s your will to examine the existence you don’t love, your thoughts are transparent and full of brilliant feelings, as if they would reflect anything.]
Ameris was shedding tears. The long agony that was so painful is finally coming to an end.
“But I have never felt the will of the existence of the sun god. Although he once recovered from his wounds at the holy ground of Ziple, where his residual energy is
said to have remained…” [What he wants through you is to look down on the creatures, not to change this world. The sun god wanted to leave this world and remain as a silent observer. It gave freedom to the creatures… so that immortals like me would not be bound by fate.] The
theme of why God gave humans free will is not commonly found in many religions on earth. It was a hot topic. Ameris seemed to have her own answer to the question.
A moment of silence passed.
“hmm! Anyway, you mean that the red hair has the will of something great? I don’t know why I entrusted it to such an unlucky kid.”
[You, a mortal, don’t have to know everything about his will that even you can’t understand, Sandra Ziple.]
“Oh, but it’s strange. Okay, that’s right, I chose red hair. Or maybe you chose the whole family of fairies and redheads. Because record magic can only be used by fairies and histers. But why does the thought of denying death exist?”
[I don’t know that. But the important thing is that out of the thoughts left behind by the sun god, the one to maintain this world is bigger.]
“The sun god must have been a god with a fairly ambiguous personality. If it is maintained, it is ruined if it is destroyed. Or are you not looking at the liver? Watching the world through the red-haired family, and if you feel like you’re not young, you’re going to resurrect and create a perfect world again. Destroy everything here.”
Ameris was at a loss for words at Sandra’s outspoken remarks.
[This is a rough story to hear. But it’s not without reason. According to what you said, the sun god faced an unwanted death, and in the process good will…]
“That’s strange too! Then the thoughts of maintaining death are inexplicable. And they said there was no existence that could kill the sun god.”
[I said it just now, but that’s not what’s important. Either way, what we have to do is to keep this world alive by preventing the resurrection of the sun god.]
“Well, that’s agreed.”
It is still unknown whether the sun god’s death was a suicide or a homicide. It is because, like Sandra’s logic, the remaining thoughts conflict.
However, Ameris only found clues that could comfort her in her unjust fate.
[They say you’re Sandra Zipple, but you’re a mortal who’s not only fierce, but also cute.]
“I’ll take that as a compliment.”
[Hedo must have had a lot of trouble.]
“Then Ameris-nim. What are you going to do now?”
Jin looked around and said.
Otterium was literally smashed. If left alone, sooner or later the enemies will discover this landscape and naturally investigate this place. Ameris was also conscious of that.
[Enemy flying ships or dragons may accidentally pass by this place, or they may detect a problem and investigate. First of all, I will fill the pit again through this body’s authority.]
The explosion that occurred while Jin and Hedo were digging was of a scale that could be observed from a very long distance.
Jin has already assumed the case where the enemies recognize that ‘something happened in the etherium’.
“It will be a stopgap. You can smell it and come back anytime. Especially since Beradin Ziple can use a power similar to record magic. There are also Sanna’s unknown abilities.”
[What were you planning to do?]
“To be honest, I started excavation in a half-doubtful state. However, if the enemies came, I would kill them all. We will have to keep people waiting here for the time being.”
[Whoops, there’s no need for that. This body will continue to be here. Try to confuse the enemies as much as possible. Then, if you are discovered or in a situation where the enemy can escape while acquiring information, you can immediately ask for support.]
“Is it possible to teleport?”
[No, that power was lost along with the head.]
“Then I have no choice but to put the red owl on standby with the people.”
[There is no need for that. My alter ego will follow you and live together from now on. The human form must be convenient in many ways, right?]
“Did you say it was an alter ego?”
[okay. It’s been a long time since I’ve mixed with mortals. It can be said that it is the best entertainment that I can enjoy as I am bound by the fate of guarding the boundary. I’m looking forward to it. I can just make this as an alter ego.]
Ameris sat upright and looked up at Jin and her colleagues.
[For reference, this body is at its weakest when creating an alter ego. So, if the enemy comes to me while I am making my alter ego, I will have to protect myself. Conversely, if you want to kill me, there will be no better opportunity than now…]
Even though they had only just met, Ameris had complete trust in Jin and his colleagues. It was because of the conviction that their inner world was not in danger.
“I will accept that you have revealed a secret in the sense of trusting me. Make it with confidence.”
[No. It’s been a while, so I guess I’ll need some time. It is possible to have a conversation while creating an alter ego, so there is no need to be like a wooden stone.]
“Okay.”
Ameris closed her eyes, and a strange gray aura spread around her.
‘It’s the first time I’ve seen a gray-tinted power.’
The gray power soon wrapped around Ameris and swayed like water.
[I feel it every time I make an alter ego, but I feel like a snake is a snake. Snakes are also most vulnerable when they shed. It is to create a kind of moving skin.]
Ameris’s body could be seen growing scales through the gray aura. The party looked at it curiously and talked with Ameris.
“I heard that snakes often die while shedding their skin.”
[Sandra Zipple: That’s not a good word to say with such an innocent face. It seems that this body has a lot to tell you while you’re together.]
The clone creation went smoothly.
Just 10 minutes later, something unexpected happened.
At the same time, the three of them, Jin and Ameris Hedo, felt an obvious murderous feeling rising from somewhere underground.
“Ameris-sama, it seems there was something more underground.”
While Hedo was talking, Jin focused on reading the life he was just beginning to feel once more.
‘This energy…’
It was because I felt strangely familiar with that life.
[Oh no… I really didn’t expect to be attacked. It seems that these are the guys who fought before this body went to sleep.]
Agh!
Suddenly, a ray of red light soared from the seat where Ameris was sitting. No damage was caused thanks to Jin quickly moving Ameris aside.
And in the chests of the enemies that appeared with a flash of light, there was a red heart. The overall appearance was similar to that of the Myeongwang family.
“Ameris… have you forgotten us? I didn’t know you would create an alter ego on the spot without fear.”
Jin and his colleagues recognized their identities at a glance.
It was an ancient royal family.
