After the divine possession ended, Charlotte's consciousness returned to the spiritual world of the Dark Night Castle. This time, the long-distance divine descending took a lot of energy from her, and even the brilliance of the divine power on the Blood Sacred Scripture dimmed.
Charlotte sensed it, and based on the standard of 1 divine power point per second released by the True Ancestor, her divine power value dropped from almost 60 points of divine power accumulated in the recent period to 25 points.
However, it is not without gain. Charlotte gently stretched out her right hand, crimson light condensed in her palm, and gradually, a blurry statue appeared in her hand.
The face of the statue could not be seen clearly. At this moment, it was only as big as a palm in her hand. It was shining with a dense light, as if it contained some kind of strange power.
This was the mysterious statue that the Blood Demon Priest had forcibly implanted into the black dragon for the Grand Duke of Blood Demon's descent. It was also the thing in the ruins that caught Charlotte's attention.
No, not just in the ruins. Even holding it in her hands now, Charlotte can feel a strong sense of calling and closeness.
It seems...this is something that belongs to her. Not only that, Charlotte could sense the great power contained in this little statue, or rather... divine power.
Although she hasn't explored it carefully yet, relying on the Blood Sacred Scripture's perception of divine power, she can clearly sense that the power within it is definitely divine power!
"The ancient temple, the mysterious temple left by Lilith, the ancestor of blood, enshrines the mysterious idol..."
"There is no doubt that this statue is the core of the Ancient Palace. The reason why the Blood Demon Order chose the Ancient Palace as the location for the ceremony is essentially to use the divine power in this statue."
"Yourst said that the ancient temple was probably built by the True Ancestor of Blood in order to return, or to resurrect a certain elder."
"Regardless of whether the 'travel' I was sleeping in before was true or false, since the ancient temple was established by the True Ancestor of Blood and also stores a certain amount of divine power, it must be that the divine power of blood is stored there!" He looked at the small statue in front of him. , Charlotte mused.
After thinking about it, she closed her eyes and carefully extended her perception to invade the inside of the statue. At the same time, she also increased her vigilance and was prepared to end the investigation in time if something happened... After all, she didn't know the details of this thing. Although she felt that it was quite close to her, she still tried to be as careful as possible. It's better to avoid any accidents.
For example... if there is still any true ancestor's will left in it, just wait for her to come and seize it or something.
However, it turns out that Charlotte thought too much. After her consciousness entered the statue, she quickly understood the nature of the statue.
In her perception, inside the statue, the viscous red liquid was like blood, exuding a dense brilliance.
No, that is not real blood, but the embodiment of the power of blood. That is divine power, the purest divine power, and... it is the divine power of blood that Charlotte has dreamed of!
Charlotte finally understood why this statue made her feel a strong sense of calling and closeness. The divine power of blood is stored in this statue, and she is the successor of the Blood Scripture. If she can't feel the closeness, then there is something wrong with her.
Looking at the huge divine power filled inside the statue, Charlotte was almost stunned. She almost subconsciously calculated how many times such divine power could enable her to liberate her true ancestor, and the result after calculation shocked her.
The divine power stored inside this statue could probably enable her to completely liberate her true ancestor, and she could sustain it for half an hour!
It can be said that even if she does not replenish her divine power, Charlotte does not have to worry about the consumption of blood divine power in a short period of time, but can spend it as much as she wants.
"Fortunately, the ritual of the Blood Demon Order did not succeed. If they really succeeded, with the divine power of blood on this scale, they might really be able to summon the Blood Demon Archduke to the present world." Charlotte couldn't bear it. Live with emotion.
The answer is already obvious. If her judgment is correct, the Blood Demon Order's infiltration of Castel may have been to use this statue to perform a divine subjugation ceremony and summon the Blood Demon Archduke!
No, or to be more precise, it was to help the Blood Demon Archduke quickly regain his strength after summoning him.
After traveling so far, Charlotte has learned a lot about the mysterious side of the world of Miria. As far as she knew, most of the gods in the world of Miria were currently asleep.
This is true including the God Lord Harald, the God of Contract Mithra, and even the stargazer Cosi of the Ness clan.
However, there are some exceptions. According to the records in the classics, the Blood Demon Archduke completed his recovery, and it was his recovery at that time that allowed the Dark Clan Sherdit to overturn the rule of the Crescent Kingdom.
Of course, recovery is recovery, and recovery and full restoration of strength are two different things. Otherwise, the Crescent Kingdom would not return to the rule of the Holy Royal Court in the future.
If Charlotte's guess is not wrong, the Blood Demon Order plans to use the statue of the Ancient Temple to quickly restore the strength of the Blood Demon Archduke when he comes to the world, so as to avoid the mistake of being driven out of the world by the Holy Royal Court last time.
Of course, this is just Charlotte's guess.
"The Blood Demon Cult has attempted divine descent more than once. Such frequent divine descent is impossible without the inspiration of the gods. The Blood Demon Archduke is so eager for divine descent and wants to invade the world. Could it be that Mi What's going to happen in Rhea's world?" Charlotte thought thoughtfully.
It's a pity that Charlotte is not a god after all, and she doesn't know much. Although she vaguely sensed the hint of a storm coming, she couldn't fully stand at the level of a god, and she couldn't judge the truth clearly.
"Let's take it one step at a time. It's useless to think too much. Let's continue to hunt down the Blood Demon Cult. They must know something."
"In addition, since this statue has no owner, maybe I can try to leave my own mark on it..." Thinking of this, Charlotte gently raised the statue.
She took a deep breath, mobilized the divine power of blood that she had controlled in the Blood Sacred Scripture, converted it into the mark of thorns and roses, and then covered the blurred statue.
The next moment, a strange scene appeared. After being covered with the mark of thorns and roses, the vague statue suddenly burst into crimson light, and its appearance gradually became clearer.
And when the light dissipated, its appearance was no longer blurry, but turned into the appearance of Charlotte.
Of course, it’s not Charlotte’s current
The "youthful" version, but
"Adult Royal Sister" version. Charlotte was stunned, and then she felt that she seemed to be connected to something.
She followed that connection and soon discovered that it was this statue that was connected to her. A strong throbbing came to my mind, carrying a mysterious call and guidance.
Charlotte was surprised to feel that the statue seemed to have become a part of herself, becoming like an incarnation outside her body.
With a movement in her heart, the statue flew up on its own and integrated into her body just as it had integrated into the black dragon's body.
But unlike the black dragon, after integrating into her body, the idol quickly disintegrated, just like the clone integrated into the main body, and the wanderer returned to his hometown.
In Charlotte's perception, the statue quickly turned into a ball of crimson light. After flowing through the limbs of her body, it finally converged on her heart, bursting out with unprecedented brilliance.
A warm feeling spread from her heart, and Charlotte felt as if she had turned into a ball of blazing fire, or... it seemed that she had begun a new transformation!
Dots of brilliance spread and swirled around Charlotte. But in the real world, Charlotte's body flew up on its own, and the heart shone brightly. A golden-red radiance burst out, quickly wrapping her body... In an instant, Charlotte's body turned into an ellipsoid-shaped light. cocoon.
An obscure energy wave spread out with the light cocoon as the center, passing through the Earl's Palace, past Castel Square, and finally spread to the entire North Port... At this moment, all the extraordinary people in North Port felt an inexplicable feeling. His heart was palpitating, and the extraordinary blood in his body seemed to be ready to stir.
"Plop..." A heartbeat resounded in everyone's hearts. The extraordinary people looked puzzled, not knowing where the voice came from.
"Plop..." Another heartbeat sounded, much more powerful than the one just now. The extraordinary beings in the North were surprised to find that when the heart beat, their own hearts also echoed, and the rhythm was almost unified.
"Plop..."
"Plop..."
"Plop..."
"..." The sound of the heartbeat became clearer and clearer, like a drumbeat. The extraordinary people were completely in a commotion: "What happened?"
"Did you hear the heartbeat?"
"What's the movement? Where is it?" The extraordinary people looked puzzled and couldn't find the source of the heartbeat. They just felt that with the heartbeat, their own blood and strength were also trembling.
At the same time, across the North, some children who had not awakened the power of their blood suddenly felt as if some kind of shackles were broken in their bodies, and summons for extraordinary awakenings appeared one after another... In the underground liaison office of the Ness clan in Beigang.
The vampires on duty had already prostrated on the ground following the heartbeat. Every heartbeat that sounded like a drum to the ears of other transcendent beings was like thunder in their perception.
At this moment, all the blood descendants in the North felt a strong throbbing of their blood, and a pressure that seemed to come from their souls continued to strengthen with the sound of their heartbeats, shrouding their hearts.
This kind of throbbing was felt even by Sebastian and Yurst who were far away on the border. They looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
In the Castel mining area, among the demihuman tribes that had restored their faith in the True Ancestor, the thorns and roses symbol placed on the altar also suddenly changed.
The crimson radiance spread, and the enshrined Holy Emblem was seen quickly
"Melt" again
"Cohesion". And when the light faded away, what appeared in the eyes of the demi-humans was no longer the Holy Emblem, but a lifelike statue of a god!
Her appearance is exactly that of adult Charlotte! Looking at the reunited statue of the god, feeling the pressure and throbbing in the dark, the demihuman priests showed excitement and joy: "It's my Lord! My Lord's glory! My Lord's heartbeat! My Lord's Idol!”
"My lord's strength...has been partially restored again!"
"Praise you! The supreme true ancestor! The incarnation of darkness and shadow! The source of all blood descendants!"
"..." Visions appeared all over the Northland, and even the divine bell in the Crescent Parish of the Holy King's Court once again sounded a warning bell, causing chaos in the Royal Capital Cathedral...
"Master High Priest! The god-suppressing bell is warning! The power of the evil god has revived again!" the priest said in a panic.
In front of the statue of the god, the chief priest of the diocese, dressed in gold and red robes, slowly opened his eyes: "Which direction?"
"It's the northwest!" the priest said quickly.
"Northwest..." the archpriest of the diocese murmured to himself, then closed his eyes and stroked the sacred scepter in his hand. After a while, he opened his eyes again, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "It's the Northland..." After pondering for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Go and invite the presiding judge of the trial court. We have work to do again."...Charlotte still didn't know how much noise her fusion of the statue made.
After the fusion lasted for almost ten minutes, the light cocoon shattered and she was free again. Opening his eyes, he saw himself naked again in the small mirror on the desk, and his previous clothes had turned into ashes.
Charlotte picked up the spare clothes from the hanger and put them on her body, then checked her physical condition.
After merging with the statue, her strength did not increase significantly, but she could feel that something was different about her body.
The most obvious thing is the skin. Her body was already as smooth as skin, but at this moment it looked even more perfect, so delicate that she no longer looked like a mortal, but like a creature created by the gods.
And when Charlotte closed her eyes and felt it carefully, she was even more surprised to find that her heart was no longer the normal red color, but turned into gold.
It beats powerfully, and every beat seems to match a certain rhythm. And from a higher perspective, Charlotte
"Seeing" a slowly rotating crimson crystal appeared in the area of his heart, like an image of his heart.
The crystal was engraved with the symbol of thorns and roses, and there seemed to be a flame beating in the center, which seemed to be connected to something in the dark.
However, the crystal looked a bit illusory and seemed incomplete. Following some kind of instinct, Charlotte established communication with it, and soon discovered that she could manipulate it like the Blood Scripture.
The power of "heart". And after she mobilized her power, her consciousness spread instantly. Charlotte was surprised to find that she had established more direct connections with the idols enshrined by the demihuman tribe one by one, like a huge network!
The Holy Book of Blood bloomed with brilliance, and the title page opened on its own. In Charlotte's perception, the chapters belonging to the Chapter of God flickered brightly, and new words also emerged... [Book of Blood·Chapter of God] [I am the looking up to the mortal world] [I am the light of miracles] 】【Faith ignites the divine fire, and the flames create the throne of God】【Eternity is with me, divine grace is also a shackle】【Unlocking the ability of God's chapter——】【Web of Faith】...
