Chapter 52: Worship the Serpent

And at the bottom of the endless deep sea, the Great Snake is not interested in all this.

For him, Mona, the daughter who has mixed his strength, is just a pawn with a lot of potential, and she is not the only candidate for it.

In fact, although the "Dark Years" are long gone, the great impact of the "Dark Years" has led to the great snake having a large number of adherents and followers in the human world.

These devotees often longed to gain the favor and power of the serpent through sacrifices, but the serpent never responded to them because he was afraid of the gods who were watching him from above the heavens.

Even after hundreds of years, the serpent's prestige has faded, but it is still remembered by witches and prophets, soothsayers, mages, scholars, etc., and is recorded on the parchment scroll as a powerful evil god in the universe.

Although there is no longer a group dedicated to worshipping the Great Snake, and more people worship and sacrifice the Great Snake and other evil monsters together, if you just want to find a few people who can establish a cult for the Great Snake to worship him, expand its power, and use it as the tentacles and minions of the Great Snake in the human world when he is trapped in the depths of the sea at the moment, there are still a large number of objects that can be used.

However, the reason why Orochi chose Mona was for another reason......

"Norn ......"

That girl's body was mixed with Norn's strength.

What is Norn?

It's hard to tell, not even the gods who created this world.

Norn is not inherited based on blood, but rather like some kind of underworld power, and the objects of its possession are often women, and these women, after awakening the Norn power in their own bodies, will gradually have all kinds of prophecy, even the power to interfere with fate, and curse others.

As a result, Norn is often seen as a prophetess, a prophetess.

However, even if a wisest prophetess has devoted her life to learning all kinds of spells and incantations, she is as childish and ridiculous as a naughty child in the face of a newly awakened Norn.

When this talent is awakened, fate will become extremely clear in the eyes of these Norns, and time and space will not be able to block their sight.

The powerful Norn can even prophecy and divination, as well as revelations for those gods, and the crowning of the apex of Norn are the three sisters of fate.

Their strength can even distort the fate of the gods and compile the fate of all human beings at will, and even the god king Odin will have some respect for them.

And this former mute girl is a Norn who has not yet awakened his talent.

Because of this, the entire tribe was crazy and irrational, but she was able to stay awake until she faced the appearance of the big snake, and then became a slave of the big snake under the huge mental impact.

Because of this, she has such a powerful prophetic power, although she thought that it was given to her by the serpent, but the serpent would not correct her misconception, because it was too troublesome to do so.

It is precisely because of this that Mona is so valued by the big snake, and even enters her dream to guide her, otherwise, according to the big snake's character, how can she be so long-winded, and where are these motes worthy of talking to it and forcibly giving a revelation and will.

The only thing that surprised Orochi was that Mona did not accept his blood, but instead tried to exchange the name Orochi had given her.

What does it mean to give a name?

People give names to mounts, pets, weapons, and even children, and the person or thing that is given a name invariably means a very intimate relationship with people.

The girl does not crave power, on the contrary, she dedicates herself to the big snake, and what she pursues most is to be able to get closer to the big snake and get closer to it...... Even if it is swallowed by the great serpent, it will not hesitate to merge with his flesh and blood.

This infinite worship and belief in the serpent, the ultimate crazy and perverted pursuit and desire, is the whole meaning of her life.

And the amazed serpent, though a little angry at her little temptation, also praised her for her great courage and gave her the name Mona.

Mona, which means loneliness, desire.

The name is not chosen randomly, but has its meaning.

Norn can glimpse fate and fulfill the wishes of others, but he is also feared and rejected by others, while Norn, who can guide others, cannot guide himself.

The fate of the Norn is often rejected by people and gods, and because Norn, who can see the end directly, does not like to contact humans, he often lives in seclusion until he dies alone.

......

And when Mona traveled to the East, in that swampy world, every day, her traces and actions would be accompanied by her pious prayers, reaching the ears of the serpent.

Where did she subdue some three-headed or nine-headed serpent, or where did she slay some beast that would not obey her?

Whether it was the hard work in the swamp to attract those indigenous tribes to become worshippers of the Great Serpent, or the treatment of which believers......

Whatever Mona could say, whether joy or trouble, she would pour out to her father in prayer.

The serpent, on the other hand, tends to just listen coldly, rarely responds to her, and only gives her a little guidance on rare occasions.

Although Mona does worship the serpent with all her heart, it is not without her own will, on the contrary, she has her own likes and dislikes, is not as cruel as the serpent, has her own philosophy, and is tolerant of believers.

They often go to great lengths to find the magic grass in the swamp to make potions, expel the poisonous miasma and plague that pervade the swamp, sweep away those poisonous snakes and beasts, drink them so that they must not invade the territory of the believers, and even let those poisonous snakes and beasts feared by the natives serve as helpers to help the development of the sect.

And those native tribes who are often infested by poisonous snakes and beasts, and suffer unspeakably, often quickly fall into the arms of the sect after coming into contact with the sect and become followers of the great snake.

Without him, with her own talents, Mona can often easily find a safe and clean source of water and expel those poisonous gases, for these natives, Mona's figure is simply as great as a goddess, and they can't help but have a longing heart.

In this way, a sect that worships the Great Serpent and is called the Snake Worship Cult begins to slowly expand in this poisonous and dangerous swamp world with the name of Mona, the daughter of the snake.

And with the expansion of the Snake Worship Sect, this small sect has gradually begun to attract the attention of certain people and forces......
