Mortals cannot come into contact with divine power for long, otherwise they will be irreversibly eroded.

The limited container is not enough to bear the huge force, and it will be squeezed and deformed, the body will be alienated, and even shattered.

But there are a few, extremely few lucky ones who, after direct contact with the divinity, will awaken the divinity in their bodies that originated from Mother Earth.

This underground tomb, and even the entire Pure White Mausoleum, is haunted by powerful puppet divinities. They gather in deserted and quiet places, manifesting as deep darkness.

This divinity originated from the Book of Nimo written by the Mother of the Basilisk. It has been accumulated here for a long time, intending to transform every successive Nameless King into its puppet.

This continues the concept of [Aminimo].

But why did the mistake happen with Lingna?

When Lor watched the name-stealing ceremony in The Book of Nimo, he felt something very out of place.

Why would it take so much effort to transform a holy object left by a god and a ritual he created into a puppet of the girl?

The entire ceremony was full of loopholes and was mostly fraud. For a god, this method was ridiculous.

It is obvious that such a ritual with so many loopholes could not have lasted for thousands of years. The only problem should be with the girl Lingna.

In Lor's perception, she was clearly just a mortal, but she could come and go freely in the tomb immersed in divinity.

Then the answer is obvious. The girl is not ordinary. She is far more special than she imagined.

This specialness is not because of who she is the reincarnation of, but because of herself.

"Lingna, you are a natural wizard. There may be a powerful force hidden in your body. Even if you are not aware of it, it is still protecting you spontaneously."

Lor told the girl his opinion.

"The name-stealing ceremony you experienced was far more cruel than you imagined. The book tried to make you its puppet, but it could not override your will. It could only deceive you and make you walk into its trap voluntarily."

"Lingna, did you feel its eagerness and desire at that time? It was longing for you, and the power left by the gods was also drooling over you."

The girl looked down at her hands, and could only see them clearly with the faint light lingering around Lor beside her.

This pair of fair hands looked ordinary, and the lines and veins on the palms were not unique.

No different from any of the guards and priestesses she had ever seen.

How ordinary.

Lingna thought, deep down in her heart, she was just such an ordinary girl. If she hadn't been chosen, how could she sit on the throne?

She had been glad for this, but also annoyed by it. When Yu Lan revealed the truth, it was like the sky falling for the girl.

Because she was so ordinary, she was so pious and believed so much in the protection of Ouroboros.

But suddenly one day, someone tells you that you are extraordinary, you have extraordinary talents, and even the power left by the gods is longing for you.

The girl's eyes became wet again, she choked and burst into tears once again.

"Lingna, you have always been extraordinary. As long as you want, you can do anything and become anyone."

"Come on, let's get out of here, your life has just begun."

Lor said softly.

"You can enjoy a free life and see the forests, deserts, mountains and oceans that I once told you about."

"You can also choose to become a wizard. Your talent is extraordinary. I can assert that you will become a very powerful wizard."

"...The mysteries of the world will be revealed to you. Perhaps you will be able to reach the end of the road and meet the great gods."

"Of course, you can also try to be a real king and protect a real country and its people. I will teach you how to do it, and your personal guards will also help you."

Lingna choked and spoke intermittently.

"I can't do it. I, I have made a mistake. I, I killed An Nan. No one will forgive me..."

She was still a girl after all, and the hope that had just risen sank again. The regret in her heart ate away at Lingna, making her cry even more miserably.

However, she heard the man in front of her chuckle.

"No, Lingna, An Nan is not dead. She is waiting for you. She is waiting for you outside the tomb."

The girl raised her head in surprise, with a light shining in her tearful eyes, and asked hopefully.

"Really, really?"

"I never lied to you."

Lor spoke softly, his eyes as calm as a lake.

……

"An Nan! An Nan, I'm sorry——"

"Wang, no, it's my fault for not protecting you well..."

The two very young girls hugged each other and cried. Lor watched quietly and felt much calmer inside.

The influence of divinity on himself seemed to be alleviated. His eyes moved slightly and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He now knew why the legendary incarnation of Amor was so keen on tragic love.

Because only in tragedy can mortals burst out with the most intense emotions.

To the God who controls love, everything in this world is gray and dead to Him. Only ardent love and emotion can bring Him fleeting light.

Is it the gods who control the divinity, or is it the divinity that controls the gods...

Lor was lost in thought, and the girl Lingna was already walking towards him. When he came to his senses, the girl was already in front of him.

An Nan was a little further away. She knelt on one knee, her head lowered, looking at the ground, and her right hand on her chest.

This is a sign of loyalty in the Snake Kingdom, meaning I am willing to give you my heart.

Looking at the girl Lingna's determined and nervous look at this moment, Lor said with a smile.

"It seems that you have made your decision."

"Yes...Lore."

The girl said to the boy solemnly.

"I want to continue to be the king of Tasan, but not as Aminimo, but as Reina, an ordinary girl, Reina."

"Of course, I will not rush to break up with the priests and nobles. Instead, I will accumulate strength first..."

The girl said, then mustered up the courage to ask.

"You said you would help me, right?"

"Yes, I will help you. I will awaken the divinity in your body and help you deal with the priests..."

As Lor spoke, the girl's eyes were filled with joy, but she became quite disappointed when she heard the rest.

"But I cannot stay here. Just as you have found your path, I have mine to find."

In the girl's lost look, Lor spoke to her again.

"Perhaps we can make a pact—

If you really become a qualified king, and if I also accomplish my mission by chance, I will come back to see you, Lingna."

"Then you must come back to see me."

The girl said softly.

"It's a word."
