CHAPTER 794

[My ko-fi link:- https://ko-fi.com/punisher87 ]

In this world, there are beings who are born with inexplicably strong powers.

The most famous ones are Runcandel, known for their "blessed body," and Zipfel, the pureblood with exceptional affinity for mana. These two clans have ruled over this world as the victors for a very long time, based on the traits of their blood.

And then there are those who possess potential that far surpasses the average of such clans, emerging into the world.

In other words, humans who are born with bodies clearly different from others.

Most of them come from humble lineages and suddenly display their prowess without receiving any special education.

Vanessa Olsen, who awakened her powers while trying to rescue her abducted younger brother.

Smarion Proch, who was born as the child of ordinary farmers but suddenly turned into a killer.

Hedo, who lived a monstrous life due to his incredible strength, detached from human society.

According to Ameris, the source of the mysterious power possessed by these individuals is the essence of the Sun God, Kinzelo.

[T/L:- 사념 :- Essence/ideals/principles/thoughts]

[The essence of Kinzelo, the Sun God, is the will to deny its own death and annihilation. Therefore, those who possess the essence unconsciously destroy the Earth and seek to awaken the Sun using the altar.]

Hedo nodded his head indifferently, as if finding it fascinating. Even if Ameris's words were true, he had already decided on the direction and purpose of his life, so he had no reason to be shaken.

"Are you saying that by merely reaching the altar, anyone can resurrect the Sun God?"

[Merely reaching it is not enough, but the resurrection of the Sun God is indeed possible. And when he returns, it means that this world will vanish without a trace. All the order of this world, which you and I enjoy, will be destroyed, and all coincidences and inevitabilities will disappear.]

"A god named Sheenu said that the outcome depends on how the Sun God is resurrected."

[Regardless of the outcome, when the Sun God is resurrected, the world as you know it will cease to exist. Mortals will once again be bound by fate, and immortals will all converge and become the part of the Sun God. This world will be complete again... But well, is that truly the right form? A world filled with nothing but obedient and dry fulfillment.]

Jin and Hedo couldn't imagine such a world because they had never experienced it.

Furthermore, they were not curious about it. The world they had to protect was the land they were standing on right now. There was nothing they wanted to gain by discarding their loved ones, the land they grew up on, and all the memories of this world they fought for while pursuing their dreams.

Only those who have no attachment to this world can desire the resurrection of the Sun God.

[That's somewhat fortunate. From what I've heard from you, it seems that the followers of the Sun God are not as active on the surface as they used to be. Back then, there were too many of them. I had to face them every day.]

"Were there no other allies apart from Ms. Ameris and the good heads?"

[There were, but I don't remember them well. Solderet was someone who complied with the new order, so he probably cooperated with me. Klam was also a compliant individual, but he... he was destined to destroy the surface with the power he controlled, his mana.]

[T/L: Changing Kallum to Klam]

-[I was once a god who governed all the mana in the world. However, unable to withstand my own power, I nearly brought about the world's destruction. With Solderet's help, I sealed myself within this mirror.]

-[What this seal is blocking is the source of infinite mana, my very essence. And the endlessly expanding mana can erase this world in its entirety at any time...]

Suddenly, Jin recalled what Klam had said at the ancient ruins of Colon.

"Klam was sealed by Solderet, but could it be that he also possessed the essence of the Sun God...?"

[That's correct. The power he possessed can annihilate the entire surface world and extract the netherworld if he became prey to the essence of sun god. He, too, is an unfortunate immortal, bound by an unwanted fate.]

Unwanted fate.

The "weight of immortality" that Ameris mentioned meant that they could not escape that fate. Ameris had to safeguard the boundaries of the world until she died.

Jin and Hedo briefly pondered her role and felt a sense of melancholy. Her solitary battle was still far from over.

Ameris smiled as if she could read their minds.

[Haha, the more I see you, the more adorable you look. It seems you find the fate bestowed upon me excessive.]

"Yes."

[Someone has to do it. And sometimes, you can receive gifts from destiny. Meeting mortals like you is one such gift to me.]

Ameris had gained companions whom she could "remember" from now on. She spoke as if Jin and Hedo, strong humans like them, would prevent the resurrection of the Sun God.

[Jin.]

"Yes, please speak."

[Fortunately, the essences of the Sun God are not exclusively filled with the denial of their own death. The opposite case also exists.]

Essences that uphold death.

Four out of Ameris's nine heads, including herself, possessed such essences. Among the essences left by the Sun God, she was convinced that the largest will was embedded within her.

[Not only me, but most of those who aim to prevent the resurrection of the Sun God are like that. And in my opinion, your clan, the Runcandel, seems to have a connection to the power of the Sun God. Something about the 'blessed body'? The traits of your clan that have continued for over a thousand years. It's not something a mortal can acquire on their own. Of course, the potential of mortals is infinite, but... it remains within the realm of individual capabilities. No matter how remarkable a mortal may be, they cannot single-handedly strengthen an entire lineage for over a thousand years.]

Ameris believed that the blessing inherent in Runcandel was related to the Sun God or something equivalent.

"Could it be Solderet's blessing? After all, my clan did not exist when the Sun God was around."

[The blessings of the Sun God can exist beyond space and time. However, even if it's not from him, Solderet would be capable of bestowing a similar blessing. In any case, immortal beings who are capable of giving blessings that sustain for over a thousand years are limited such as the Sun God, myself before slumbering, and Solderet and Helluram. But it is not the witch, and I doubt I am one either, so it must be one of them. It could be both.]

"Whichever it may be, my clan will not stand against you, Ms. Ameris."

[Indeed, perhaps those Zipfel fellows who possess similar blessings are already my enemies. Even if their goal is not the resurrection of the Sun God but rather the reproduction of the Origin Orb, it seems no different. Moreover, they utilize the residual energy of the Sun God and even the shrine maiden, so their crimes are quite severe.]

"Ms. Ameris, in that case, what do you think about joining our alliance?"

Surprisingly, it was Hedo, not Jin, who made the sudden recruitment proposal.

[Do I need any special blood oaths or such for joining?]

"No, there's no need for that."

[Then let's join forces. It seems like it'll be an enjoyable game.]

Ameris readily accepted the offer. It was a moment when a reliable ally was added to the Vamel alliance.

[But Jin, you mentioned that someone brings demons from the nether to the surface. It was Orgal, right? I am unfamiliar with this demon.]

Since earlier, Ameris had been feeling a sense of curiosity about that aspect.

As far as she knew, the guardianship of the boundaries had never failed since she fell asleep. Jin and Hedo were the first to awaken her on the surface after her slumber.

[There is only one entrance to the netherworld, and it is only here. But someone, without my knowledge, is pulling mortals from the nether to the surface... That's quite devious. I don't know what trick he has used, so I'll have to find him, ask for his methods, and deliver punishment. How many demons has he summoned?]

"We cannot know for certain, but we estimate that it doesn't exceed ten thousand. However, there are fewer than ten who pose a real threat."

[Seems like they gathered dust. Did he avoid my watch like a sneaky thief? Using that steel dimensional portal ability you mentioned.]

"Most likely."

[Hmm... If he possesses the ability to connect the surface and the nether through dimensional travel to such an extent, it's unlikely that I would be unaware. I need to regain my memories quickly.]

"By the way, Ms. Ameris, about 500 years ago, there was a war called the Holy Kingdom's Protection War on the surface. Countless demons appeared during that time, and it was the largest war in human history until the Evil God War. We were able to find this place thanks to the memories of my ancestors who were active at that time."

[At that time, the witch was involved in the war, so anything could have happened. Since there was even an item of Immortal Zito, the witch may have used it to secretly bring mortals from the netherworld to the surface. But they themselves didn't directly open the door.]

"I see. Do you have any recollection of Immortal Zito? Our alliance is currently investigating Zito as well."

[Zito was an immortal who desired to become a new order. Perhaps he tried to control the world through suffering... I would say he is a lunatic whom you should get involved with. When I had nine heads, back then, I couldn't guarantee victory against that monster. I don't remember how he died.]

As the conversation grew longer, Jin felt that things were getting clear.

Although her memories were incomplete, he was certain that as Ameris's memories returned, it would become easier to grasp the intentions of their enemies.

"Honey!"

Suddenly, they heard Sandra's voice. She had come here first out of curiosity while waiting from a distance.

"Oh? Honey, who is this woman again? She keeps acting like a flirtatious person..."

Hedo instinctively covered Sandra's mouth, and Jin introduced his companions to Ameris.

"Valeria Hister and Sandra Zipfel from the Vamel alliance, and Shuri, the ruby cat."

[Valeria Hister. You're the record mage that Jin mentioned.]

"Yes, from now on, Valeria will be of great help in finding Ms. Ameris's memories."

When Valeria slightly lowered her head, Ameris felt the intense energy of the Sun God that still remained within her. It was an energy that none of the followers of Sun, including Orgal, had been able to recognize.

[Oh... You possess a type of essence that even I have never encountered, Valeria Hister.]
