Tome of Blood

Chapter 565 -64- The First Princes of the Blood Clan

They should have been mentally controlled by the sun god Helios before.

Looking at the somewhat dazed expressions of several demigods, Charlotte made such a judgment in her heart.

This is also obvious. The myths are more proud than each other. If they were not controlled, they would not have surrendered to a "sky-dropped" myth in just three years.

What's more, this god is the main elf god who is definitely an enemy of the old gods of Miria.

However, even so, this cannot erase the hostile relationship between the old gods of Miria and Charlotte.

After all, as early as when the "sun god" Helios followed Charlotte back to this era, the old gods and the free city-states were already enemies.

Of course, now that the Free City-State Alliance has won a great victory, swallowing more mythical power has no effect on Charlotte now.

From this perspective, it seems that there is no need to kill them all.

But how to deal with these old gods is also important.

Charlotte estimated that it would not be long before she would return to the afterlife. She was not sure in what state "Lilith" would continue to exist after she left, or whether she would simply fall into "sleep". Considering that she was the only one in the Free City Alliance who could suppress these demigods, it was better not to leave any trouble.

Thinking of this, Charlotte looked at these demigods:

"I will give you three choices."

"First, fall as a myth and fall into a sleep from which you may not return."

"Second, voluntarily be deprived of the divine fire by me and become a mortal, and you will be free after the successor of the divine fire appears."

"Third, accept the power of blood and swear allegiance to the blood clan with your own soul, and never betray forever."

The first option is the simplest and most brutal treatment, and it is also Charlotte's usual practice for three and a half years.

She can't erase the existence of the myth, so at most she kills it and devours a wave of divine power.

However, even if the existence is not erased, it is unknown when these fallen old gods want to return.

They are just demigods, without godhood and a stable cult. The possibility of returning after falling is very low, which is not much different from complete "death".

The second option is to seek survival.

The price is to give up the identity of mythology. For the "immortal" mythology, in a sense, this is not much different from death.

The only hope is that they are mythology after all. Even if they are deprived of divine power, they have more possibilities to become gods again than ordinary mortals.

As for the third option, it is to exchange freedom for life and power.

Charlotte didn't know what kind of attitude "Lilith" would continue to exist in this era after she returned to the future, so she emphasized that she was loyal to the "blood clan" instead of herself.

Of course, accepting the power of blood itself means that these demigods will become her vassals.

After listening to Charlotte's words, the remaining old gods looked at each other.

After a period of silence, they all expressed their submission to Charlotte:

"We... are willing to become your vassals."

Charlotte was not surprised by this result.

Even if they were controlled by the mind, they would have to be willing to bow their heads to reach the level of mythology. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Helios, the "Sun God", to turn so many myths into his puppets so quickly in just three years.

In other words, these surviving demigods were originally spineless.

However, Charlotte had never seen the names of these demigods in the history of the blood clan. Even if they became vassals of the blood clan, they would probably end up destroyed.

No...

Wait.

Maybe... their end is not destruction.

Charlotte thought about it and looked at these surrendered old gods, and then said:

"Becoming my vassal means that you will abandon everything in the past, accept the power of blood, and you will continue to exist as the princes of the blood clan."

"Of course, before proving your loyalty, all you have is the identity and power of the princes."

After hearing Charlotte's words, the old gods suddenly became agitated.

But facing Charlotte, who had two true gods as "guardians", they all possessed themselves in the end.

Having made her choice, Charlotte looked at the two true gods beside her.

Artemis's gaze had been fixed on the depths of the mountains, where the glory of "Sun God" Helios rose, while Oceanus's attention was almost entirely on the former.

Noticing Charlotte's gaze, Artemis said:

"Leave them to you. I sense some concerns and need to go and see them later."

"Hehe, we are just here to help."

Oceanus also laughed.

Obviously, the two true gods did not care about the fate of these old gods, and their minds were not here.

Charlotte took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and then manipulated the Holy Book of Blood to separate some True Ancestor Blood from her own divine fire and blood.

Unlike the original blood given to the three generations of blood clan, these True Ancestor Bloods do not contain too much energy. Their main function is to transform the "identity" of these old gods and leave a backhand on them.

This process... can't even be called "First Embrace", because Charlotte only used the power of the Holy Blood to "transform" the identities of these old gods who surrendered.

After three and a half years of growth, the strength of Charlotte's bloodline power is no longer what it used to be.

With two true gods as guardians, her "transformation" went smoothly, and soon, the aura of the old gods who accepted the "blood of the True Ancestor" changed.

Their eyes were either complicated or gray, and finally they all bowed in front of Charlotte:

"Prince of Blood... pay homage to His Majesty the True Ancestor."

Charlotte nodded slightly and accepted the loyalty of these demigods.

If it goes as she expected, perhaps... these demigods who surrendered and had their "bloodlines" transformed are the first batch of princes among the many demigods of the blood race that she knew in another time and space.

If history will develop along the inherent route, they will become the key force for the rise of the blood race after the peak of the mythological era, and follow the True Ancestor of Blood to finally reach the top of the world.

However, their fate was also destined by history. According to the development of history, they will be deprived of power or re-sealed by the "True Ancestor of Blood" one day.

Charlotte still has no idea what the reason will be. Maybe they betrayed again in the end, or maybe other situations have occurred, but at least now, for the current blood race, this is the best choice.

And the backhand she left in these demigod fires with the help of the "True Ancestor's Blood" is enough for him to completely control the survival of these demigods.

After subduing these demigods, Charlotte fell from the sky with Artemis and Oceanus.

They landed in the core temple of the Temple of the Sun, which was also the center of the former Old God Alliance.

This is the largest palace in the mountains.

Even after experiencing the devastating war of gods, it is still well preserved.

The entire temple is empty, with only corpses on the ground.

There are priests and extraordinary people dressed as guards.

Charlotte noticed that the wounds on their bodies were like a sudden mass death. Not only that, she didn't even feel any trace of the existence of these people's souls.

Her heart moved slightly, realizing that these people might have been turned into "puppets" by "Sun God" Helios long ago. After Helios "disappeared", they also "died".

After entering the temple, Artemis's pace was much faster.

He didn't pay attention to other things, but went straight to the deepest part of the temple.

Charlotte's sight also fell on the deepest part of the temple.

When she was in the sky, her perception was not so strong, but after entering the temple, she felt a chaotic, huge, obscure, and dead breath coming from the depths of the temple.

Obviously, Artemis sensed this breath early.

The three myths passed through the temple and came to the starting point of the breath.

What came into their eyes was a huge altar, and around the altar, there were ring crosses.

Seeing the cross, Charlotte was stunned, because she was too familiar with it. In the later era, this symbol was the symbol of Harald, the God of Creation.

On the cross, Charlotte saw "crystals" imprisoned by chains.

Those "crystals" were beautiful, but the brilliance was dim. The chaotic, huge, obscure, and dead air that Charlotte felt was emanating from them.

When seeing these "crystals", Artemis and Oceanus's expressions changed at the same time.

"This is... Godhead!"

The Sea King widened his eyes.

Godhead?

Charlotte's eyes were also sharp in an instant.

Godhead, only the true God has it.

Godhead, in a sense, also means the existence of the true God itself.

However, although these godheads exude a powerful aura, they are also full of dead silence and grayness.

This only means one thing, that is, the myths corresponding to these godheads have fallen.

In addition, Charlotte also felt some familiar auras from these godheads.

That is the breath of the original power.

"Wait... this breath of divine power, is this the godhood of Uranus, the Lord of the Sky?"

"And this... these two breaths... these are the godhoods of the God of the Earth and the God of Fertility!"

"This is the God of War and Wisdom..."

"This is the God of Seasons and Springs..."

As he recognized the identities of the owners of the godhoods, Oceanus gradually widened his eyes.

He looked at these stripped godhoods in disbelief, and in disbelief, and with anger, he looked at the "weak", "pitiful" and "helpless" demigods who followed the three myths in:

"This is... what you did? You guys actually killed the main god you protected?!"
