<h4>Chapter 76: Vol1 Ch76: The three Gods that came from the first me</h4>
Ellis wasn’t weak, but she simply didn’t have experience fighting with supernatural abilities.
After all, she was originally just a noble girl with a quirky hobby, even though she had absorbed the memories of many experienced knights and warriors, they too were only normal people with no contact with the supernatural.
Negary was greatly superior to Ellis in both overall control of power and the grasp of timing in battle, furthermore, Negary was indeed stronger than Ellis, so once he seized the opportunity, Ellis was swiftly defeated. Most of her soul form had already been destroyed, leaving only a small part behind.
〖 It seems there will be another Ghostmen soon 〗looking down at Ellis in his hand, Negary handed her over to Granny Seal’e before his bodypletely broke.
The Ghostmen troops hadn’t been expanded on arge scale over the past few years for a few reasons. Firstly, not everyone was suitable for being imnted with a secondary soul. Secondly, Negary had been conducting another research on remnant souls in recent years, so resources were more inclined to that research. The Ghostman were also fine as they were currently, so there hadn’t been any expansion.
At the present, there were a total of 9 official Ghostmen who were imnted secondary souls. Aside from two or three of them remaining in Reya to maintain order, most of the others had been sent to perform various tasks. Which usually involved travelling to various ces to obtain documents regarding the ancient era, or infiltrating other organizations to obtain intelligence.
〖 N has arrived at Colomier and officially joined in their counterattack. I need you to help her in secret 〗 Negary ordered the three Ghostmen, and then turned to Granny Seal’e: 〖 Granny Seal’e, bring Ellis back to Reya 〗
“Understood, My Lord” everyone responded.
Negary’s dragon body gradually copsed and turned into a pool of blood without any glow while Negary had left this ce. Originally, it could have supported the form for a bit longer, but after he used [Dracotongue], the inherently unstable body could only copse ahead of time.
The so-called [Dracotongue] wasn’t just anguage, it was also a great power. The normal human vocal cord was simply unable to produce the sybles of [Dracotongue]. Even if one could somehow imitate the sound, they wouldn’t be able to use the power contained within those sybles.
There were strict conditions to using [Dracotongue], so much so that each of them was an obstacle on its own, unless one fulfilled all of them, it would be impossible to use [Dracotongue].
The first crucial condition was [Dragon’s Pressure], the spiritual weight of [Dragon’s Pressure] created a type of harmonization with the world. If [Respiratory Art] was to change one’s own rhythm to harmonize with one’s surroundings, then [Dragon’s Pressure] was to coerce the surroundings to harmonize with oneself.
And the second crucial condition that must be fulfilled for those who sought the power of [Dracotongue] was that their soul must be biased towards the ‘dragon’ attribute. Furthermore, the user’s spirit, or rather the quality of their soul must at least reach the first stage of release.
Otherwise, if you used [Dracotongue] forcibly without having a qualified soul, you would either be oppressed by the power of [Dracotongue] and be an irrational lunatic like the Bizarre Scales, or your soul would bepletely drained, you would die and your True Spirit would leave.
Even Negary need to activate the dragon factor within Soul’s blood to form the dragon body before he could use [Dracotongue]. As for his soul attribute, if he really wanted to point out a clear bias, it should belong to the ‘maniption’ attribute.
The ability he obtained from his pseudo-release was Germ Maniption,ter became Virus Control, while Jack who was imnted a part of the soul derived from him as his secondary soul obtained Animosity Maniption.
However, among the Soul Essence that Negary absorbed, there were those who had the ‘dragon’ attribute. It was through manipting this ‘dragon’ attribute that Negary became qualified to use [Dracotongue].
As for why [Dracotongue] was so powerful, the reason came from how this world first originated.
At first, the world originated from the ck Abyss, the White Light cut through the ck Abyss and broke off a part of the ck Abyss. The light brought mes, and the mes burned this corner of the ck Abyss which brought about most of what currently existed.
And the nature of ‘God’ that originally existed within that corner of the ck Abyss was changed by the mes. In total, there were three of such creatures, and one of them was the Dragon. It could be said that the Dragon was one of the ancestors of all life in this world.
The Dragons then continued to breed and multiply, during the era of the First Empire, dragons could be said to bemonce, but unfortunately as the level of the world constantly deteriorated, dragons gradually became unable to survive. During the age of the Third Empire, when thest dragon [Versace] passed away, true dragons no longer existed, only wyverns of impure blood.
And at this point, even wyverns had be creatures that were difficult to run into and could be regarded as natural disasters in certain areas. The wyvern that Chris killed was one of the few remaining dragons left in this continent.
As for the other two creatures from the ck Abyss whose nature were changed during the first me, one of them became the New Deity. The New Deity created the Divine race, who hadn’t fared that much betterpared to the Dragons. Only very few impure dragons still exist in this world, while the one that the Church of Divine Grace hails as ‘God’ might be thest remaining member of the Divine race, or it could also not be one.
The final one was the Giant. ording to legend, the original Giant had cut off his own flesh to create the creatures of this world. When his meat fell in the water, it became a fish; when it was thrown to the sky, it became a bird; and when it fell on the ground, it became various animals.
In the end, when the Giant didn’t have much flesh left, he made the final creatures – the humans – in his own image. If there were no errors, the ‘Progenitor of all things’ in the Cauchy mythos most likely referred to the Giant.
After all, the Cauchy people were the Fourth Empire to exist, and most of what happened in the ancient times had already been gradually morphed and warped or simply lost to the ages. The Cauchy people also wanted to cement their rule, so they hailed the Giant as the Progenitor of all things, and since the Cauchy people were the Giant’s spirit, that made them natural-born leaders.
Naturally, there were various ims of how the Giant ultimately ended up. In the Cauchy mythos, the Giant was the Progenitor of all things and had died after deriving himself to form the creatures. After all, they imed to be the spirit of the Progenitor of all things, but if a Progenitor actually showed up, it would be the Cauchy who were the most unhappy.
In another mythological biography, they imed that the Giant, who only had his skeleton left, travelled to an unknownnd and became the one that governed the death of all things. There was also a im that said the Giant never left the first me brought about by the White Light and instead remained to guard it.
In short, none of the original three Gods had ever appeared again. This world eventually fell to be a low-magic world, while the mes would soon be extinguished. The world created by the White Light was slowlying to an end.
...
But regardless, life continues. And for N, although she didn’t like war, her fight must continue.
At this point, this young girl was no longer what she used to be. Early on, she was simply the final straw that many chose to grasp at. Many others regarded her support as nothing but throwing her life away, quite a few evenughed at her, regarding her as an oblivious country bumpkin.
But now, slowly but surely, very few actually made such ims anymore, the reason being that she had actually brought the people hope.
Just three days ago, the troops she led managed to arrive at Colomier in time to save it from Royas’ siege. Using her instincts alone, when the Royas army made a risky move, she nked and ambushed them from the side, earning Interkam victory in what was thought to be a long-lost battle.
