Tome of Blood

Chapter 337 -187- Charlotte's "Metamorphosis"

After ending the possession of the gods, Charlotte's consciousness returned to the spiritual world of the Dark Night Castle.

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

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

However, it is not without gains.

Charlotte gently stretched out her right hand, and the crimson light condensed in her palm, and gradually, a blurry idol 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 brilliance, as if it contained some kind of strange power.

This is the mysterious statue 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 that caught Charlotte's attention in the ruins.

No, not only in the ruins.

Even holding it in her hand 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 great 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 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 Blood Demon Cult chose the ancient temple as the ceremony location is because they intend 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 'traversing' I slept on before is true or not, since the ancient temple was established by the True Ancestor of Blood and stored a certain amount of divine power, it must be very likely that what is stored is the divine power of blood!"

Looking at the small statue in front of her, Charlotte was thoughtful.

After thinking about it, she closed her eyes, carefully extended her perception, and invaded the inside of the statue.

At the same time, she has also increased her vigilance by 12 points, and is ready to end the investigation in time if something happens...

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

For example... in case 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 was thinking too much.

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

In her perception, inside the statue, the viscous red liquid is 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.

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

Charlotte was almost stunned when he saw the enormous divine power inside the statue.

She almost subconsciously calculated how many times she could liberate the 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 Duke Gorefiend to the present 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 to use this idol to perform the divine descending ceremony and summon the Gorefiend Grand Duke!

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

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.

This includes Harald, the Lord of God, Mithra, the God of Contract, and even Cauchy, the stargazer of the Ness clan.

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 recovery of strength are two different things.

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

If Charlotte's guess is not wrong, 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 driven out of the world by the holy royal 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 thought about it.

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

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

"Let's take one step at a time. It's useless to think too much. Let's continue hunting down the Blood Demon Cult. They must know something."

"Besides, since this statue 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, and 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, the indistinct statue suddenly burst into a crimson radiance, and its appearance gradually became clearer.

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

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

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

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

A kind of strong throbbing came to my heart, with the summoning and guidance in the dark.

Charlotte was surprised to perceive that the idol seemed to 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 it also merged into her body just like it had merged into the black dragon's body back then.

But unlike the black dragon, after merging into her body, the idol quickly dissipated, as if the clone had 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 his heart, and Charlotte felt as if he had turned into a ball of fiery fire, or...it seemed that a new transformation had begun!

Bits of brilliance spread, revolving around Charlotte.

But 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 wave of energy spread out around the light cocoon, passed over the Earl's Mansion, passed over Castell Square, and finally spread 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 supernatural beings in the Northland were surprised to find that when the heartbeat was beating, their own hearts 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 your heartbeat?"

"What's the movement? Where is it?"

The supernatural beings showed doubts on their faces, they couldn't find the source of the heartbeat, but felt that their blood and strength were also trembling 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 that some kind of shackles in their bodies were broken, and there were calls for extraordinary awakening one after another...

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

The vampires on duty had already prostrated themselves on 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 in the Northland felt a strong throbbing of the blood, a coercion that seemed to originate from the soul, with the continuous strengthening of the heartbeat, shrouded in their hearts.

Even Sebastian and Yurst, who were far away on the border, could feel this throbbing. They looked at each other, seeing a trace of surprise in each other's eyes.

And in the Castel mining area, among the sub-human tribes who had 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 appeared in the eyes of the demihumans was no longer the holy emblem, but lifelike statues of gods!

Its appearance is the adult Charlotte!

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

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

"My lord's power... has recovered part of it!"

"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 Cathedral of the King's Capital...

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

said the pastor in a panic.

In front of the statue of the god, the priest of the diocese, who was dressed in a golden and red robe, slowly opened his eyes:

"Which direction?"

"It's the northwest!"

the pastor said hastily.

"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 little 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 much commotion she has made by merging the idol.

After the fusion lasted for about ten minutes, the light cocoon shattered and she was free again.

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 casually 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 improve 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 god's creation.

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 vigorously, and every time it beats, it 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 symbol of the thorn rose, and there seems to be a flame dancing 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.

And 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 Chapter of God shone brightly, and new words also emerged...
