Tome of Blood

  Chapter 337-187-Charlotte's "Metamorphosis"

  After God's possession is over, Charlotte's consciousness returns to the spiritual world of Dark Night Castle.

   This time, she spent a lot of time in the long-distance divine descent, and even the brilliance of the divine power on the Holy Tome of Blood dimmed.

  Charlotte sensed it for a while, and based on the specification of the true ancestor's liberation per second/1 divine power, her divine power dropped to 25 points from the almost full 60 divine power accumulated in the recent period.

  However, it is not without gain.

  Charlotte gently stretched out her right hand, and the crimson light gathered in her palm. Gradually, a blurry statue of a **** appeared in her hand.

  The statue couldn't see its face clearly. At this moment, it was only the size of a palm in her hand, and it shone with dense light, as if it contained some kind of strange power.

   This is the mysterious idol that the blood demon priest forcibly implanted into the black dragon for the descending of the blood demon prince, and it is also the thing in the ruins that attracted Charlotte's attention.

   No, not only 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 can perceive the mighty power contained in this little statue, or... divine power.

  Although she hasn't investigated it carefully yet, relying on her perception of divine power from the Holy Tome of Blood, she can clearly perceive that the power in it is definitely divine power!

   "The Temple of the Ancients, the mysterious temple left behind by Lilith, the ancestor of blood, enshrining mysterious statues..."

   "There is no doubt that this statue is the core of the ancient temple. The reason why the Gorefiend Cult chose the ancient temple as the ceremony location is that it intends to use the divine power in this statue."

   "Urst said that the ancient temple was probably built by the True Ancestor of Blood for his return, or for the revival of a certain elder."

   "Regardless of whether the 'time travel' I slept on before is true or not, since the ancient temple was built by the True Ancestor of Blood and also stored a certain amount of divine power, it must very likely be the divine power of blood!"

  Looking at the small statue in front of him, Charlotte thought deeply.

  After thinking for a while, she closed her eyes, carefully extended her perception, and invaded the inside of the idol.

  At the same time, she has also increased her vigilance, and is ready to end the investigation in time if something happens...

   After all, the details of this thing are still unclear. Although her perception makes her feel quite close, it is better to be careful as much as possible to avoid any accidents.

  For example... If there is any real will of the true ancestor left in it, just wait for her to send it to the door to seize it or something.

  However, it turns out that Charlotte is overthinking.

  After her consciousness entered the statue, she quickly understood the essence of the statue.

  In her perception, inside the statue, the viscous red liquid was like blood, exuding a dense brilliance.

   No, that's not real blood, but the embodiment of blood power.

   That is divine power, the purest divine power, and... it is also the divine power of blood that Charlotte dreams of!

  Charlotte finally knew why this idol made her feel a strong sense of calling and closeness.

  The divine power of blood is stored in this idol, and she is the successor of the holy scripture of blood. If she can't feel close, then there is a ghost.

   Looking at the huge divine power inside the statue, Charlotte was almost stunned.

  She almost subconsciously calculated how many times she could liberate her true ancestors with so much divine power, and the result after the calculation shocked her a lot.

   The divine power stored inside this idol may allow her to completely liberate her true ancestors, and it will be no problem to support it for half an hour!

   It can be said that even if the divine power is not replenished, Charlotte does not have to worry about the consumption of the blood divine power in a short period of time, but can spend as much as he wants.

   "Fortunately, the ceremony of the Gorefiend Cult was not successful. If they really succeeded, with the power of blood on this scale, they might really be able to summon the Gorefiend Grand Duke to this world."

  Charlotte couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

   The answer is already obvious.

  If her judgment is correct, the Gorefiend Cult has been infiltrating Castel for a long time, probably in order to use this idol to perform the god-fall ceremony and summon the Gorefiend Grand Duke!

  No, or to be more precise, it was to help the Grand Duke Bloodfiend recover his strength quickly after summoning him.

  Through traveling so far, Charlotte has learned a lot about the mysterious side of the world of Myria.

  As far as she knows, most of the gods in the world of Miria are currently asleep.

  Including the Lord Harald, the God of Contract Mithra, and even the stargazer Cauchy of the Ness clan, this is the case.

  However, there are some exceptions.

  According to the records in the classics, the Grand Duke Gorefiend completed his recovery, and it was his recovery at that time that caused the dark clan Shedete to overthrow the rule of the New Moon Kingdom.

   Of course, recovery is recovery, and recovery and full strength are two different things.

   Otherwise, the New Moon Kingdom would not return to the rule of the Holy Royal Court later.

  If Charlotte’s guess is correct, the Gorefiend Cult intends to use the statue of the Ancient Temple to let the Gorefiend Grand Duke come to the world and quickly recover his strength, avoiding the mistake of being kicked out of the world by the Holy King’s Court last time.

   Of course, this is just Charlotte's guesswork.

"The Gorefiend Cult has tried to perform divine surrender more than once. It is impossible to conduct such frequent divine surrender without the inspiration of the gods behind it. What's going to happen in Rhea World?"

  Charlotte was thoughtful.

  It's a pity that Charlotte is not a **** after all, and doesn't know much.

  Although she vaguely sensed the smell of a storm coming, she couldn't fully stand on the height of the gods, and she couldn't judge the truth clearly.

   "Let's take a step and look at it. It's useless to think too much. Let's continue to hunt down the Gorefiend Cult. They must know something."

   "Besides, since this idol has no owner, maybe I can also try to leave my mark on it..."

  Thinking of this, Charlotte gently raised the statue.

  She took a deep breath, mobilized the divine power of blood that had been controlled by her in the Holy Tome of Blood, converted it into the imprint of thorns and roses, and then covered the blurred statue.

  The next moment, a strange scene appeared.

  After the imprint of the thorn rose was covered, I saw that the indistinct idol suddenly burst into crimson light, and its appearance gradually became clear.

   And when the radiance dissipated, its appearance was no longer blurred, but changed into the appearance of Charlotte.

  Of course, it's not the current version of Charlotte, but the version of "Adult Royal Sister".

  Charlotte was startled, and then felt that she seemed to be connected to something in the dark.

  Following that sense of connection, she soon discovered that it was this statue that had established a connection with her.

  A strong throbbing surfaced in my heart, with a dark calling and guidance.

  Charlotte was surprised to perceive that the idol 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 by itself, and merged into her body just like it had merged into the body of the black dragon back then.

  However, unlike the black dragon, after merging into her body, the **** statue quickly dissipated, as if the avatar merged into the main body, and the wanderer returned to his hometown.

  In Charlotte's perception, the idol quickly turned into a mass of crimson light, which flowed through the limbs of the body and finally gathered in her heart, bursting out with unprecedented brilliance.

  A warm feeling spread from the heart, and Charlotte felt as if he had turned into a ball of blazing fire, or... it seemed that a new transformation had begun!

   Little bits of brilliance spread, revolving around Charlotte.

  In the real world, Charlotte's body flew up by itself, the heart was shining brightly, and the golden-red light burst out, quickly wrapping her body...

  In an instant, Charlotte's body turned into an ellipsoidal light cocoon.

  A hidden energy fluctuation spread out around the light cocoon, passing the Earl's Mansion, passing over Castell Square, and finally spreading to the entire North Port...

  At this moment, all the extraordinary people in Beigang felt an inexplicable palpitation, and the extraordinary blood in their bodies seemed to be about to move.

   "Plop..."

   A heartbeat resounded in the hearts of everyone.

  The transcendents showed doubts on their faces, not knowing where the voice came from.

   "Plop..."

   Another heartbeat, much stronger than the previous one.

  The transcendents in the Northland were surprised to find that when the heart beat, their own heart also echoed, and the rhythm was almost unified.

   "Plop..."

   "Plop..."

   "Plop..."

   "..."

  The sound of the heartbeat became clearer, like a drumbeat.

  The Transcendents were completely in turmoil:

"What happened?"

   "Did you hear the heartbeat?"

   "What's happening? Where is it?"

  The superhumans showed doubts on their faces, and they couldn't find the source of the heartbeat, but felt that their blood and strength were also vibrating with the heartbeat.

  At the same time, in various parts of the Northland, some children who have not awakened the power of their blood suddenly felt as if some kind of shackles were broken in their bodies, and there were calls for extraordinary awakening one after another...

  In the underground liaison office of the Ness clan in Beigang.

  The vampires on duty had already crawled to the ground following the heartbeat, and every heartbeat that sounded like a drum to the ears of other extraordinary people was like thunder in their perception.

  At this moment, all the blood descendants of the Northland felt a strong blood throbbing, a pressure that seemed to originate from the soul, with the continuous strengthening of the heartbeat, enveloped 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 trace of surprise in each other's eyes.

  In the Castel mining area, among the demi-human tribes who have restored the faith of the true ancestors, the symbol of thorns and roses placed on the altar also changed suddenly.

  The crimson radiance spread, and the enshrined holy emblem quickly "melted" and "condensed" again.

  And when the brilliance faded away, what was presented to the demihumans was no longer a holy emblem, but a lifelike statue of a god!

  Its appearance is exactly the adult Charlotte!

  Looking at the re-condensed statues, feeling the coercion and throbbing in the dark, the demihuman priests were excited and ecstatic:

   "It is my lord! My lord's brilliance! My lord's heartbeat! My lord's idol!"

   "The power of my lord...has recovered a part!"

   "Praise you! The Supreme True Ancestor! The embodiment of darkness and shadow! The source of all blood!"

   "..."

  Visions appeared everywhere in the Northland, and even the god-suppressing bell in the Crescent Parish of the Holy King's Court rang again like a warning, causing chaos in the Royal Capital Cathedral...

   "Master Chief Priest! The god-suppressing bell warns! The power of the evil **** has recovered!"

  The pastor said in a panic.

  In front of the statue of the Lord God, the parish priest in a golden and red robe slowly opened his eyes:

   "Which direction?"

   "It's Northwest!"

  The pastor said hurriedly.

   "Northwest..."

  The head priest of the diocese muttered to himself, then closed his eyes, stroked the sacred scepter in his hand, and opened his eyes again after a while, with a slight surprise in his eyes:

   "It's the North..."

   After pondering for a moment, he said in a deep voice:

   "Go and invite the chief judge of the court, there is work to be done."

  …

  Charlotte still doesn't know how big a commotion she has caused by merging the idol.

  After the fusion lasted for about ten minutes, the light cocoon shattered, and she also regained her freedom.

   Opening his eyes, the self in the small mirror on the desk became naked again, and his previous clothes had turned into fly ash.

  Charlotte picked up spare clothes from the hanger and put them on, then checked her physical condition.

   After merging with the statue, her strength didn't increase significantly, but she could feel that something was different in her body.

  The most obvious thing is the skin. Her body was already skin-like, but at this moment it looks even more perfect, so delicate that it is no longer like a mortal, but like a creation of a god.

   And when Charlotte closed her eyes to perceive 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 vigorously, and every beat seems to fit a certain rhythm in the dark.

  In a higher field of vision, Charlotte "sees" a slowly rotating crimson crystal appearing in her heart, like an image of the heart.

  The crystal is engraved with the logo of a thorn rose, and there seems to be a flame beating in the center, and it seems to be connected to something in the dark.

  However, the crystal looked a little illusory, and seemed incomplete.

  Following a certain instinct, Charlotte established communication with it, and soon discovered that she could mobilize the power of the "heart" like manipulating the holy scripture of blood.

  After she mobilized her power, her consciousness spread instantly.

  Charlotte was surprised to find that she had established a more direct connection with the gods enshrined by those sub-human tribes one by one, like a huge network!

  The Holy Tome of Blood bloomed with brilliance, and the title page opened by itself.

  In Charlotte's perception, the chapters belonging to the chapters of God shone brightly, and new words also emerged...

  【Sacred Code of Blood · Chapter of God】

  【I am the lookup of the common people】

  【I am the light of miracles】

  【Faith ignites the divine fire, and the flame makes the divine seat】

  【Eternity is with me, grace is also a shackle】
