-187- Charlotte's "Metamorphosis"
After the descent of the gods, Charlotte's consciousness returned to the spiritual world of the Night Castle. This time, she consumed a lot of money, and even the brilliance of the divine power on the Blood Sacred Book dimmed.
Charlotte sensed it, and based on the specifications of the True Ancestor's liberation of \/1 divine power per second, her divine power value has almost dropped from almost 60 divine power points accumulated in the recent period to 25 points.
However, it was not without its gains. Charlotte gently stretched out her right hand, and the crimson light condensed in her palm, and gradually, a vague idol appeared in her hand.
The statue couldn't see the face clearly, and at this moment it was only the size of a palm in her hand, shimmering with a misty light, as if it contained some strange power.
This is the mysterious idol that the Blood Demon Priest forcibly implanted in the black dragon's body for the Blood Demon Grand Duke's descent, and it is also the thing in that ruins that attracted Charlotte's attention.
No, not only in the ruins. Even when she held it in her hand now, Charlotte could feel a strong sense of calling and closeness.
Seem...... It's like it's hers. Not only that, but Charlotte was able to sense the power contained in this little idol, or rather...... Power.
Although she hadn't explored it carefully, with the Blood Sacred Scripture's perception of divine power, she could clearly perceive that the power in it was definitely divine power!
"The Ancient Temple, the mysterious temple left by Lilith, the ancestor of blood, enshrines the mysterious gods......"
"There is no doubt that this idol is the core of the Ancient Temple, and the reason why the Blood Demon Order chose the Ancient Temple as the ceremonial location is that it intends to use the divine power in this idol."
"Jurst said that the Ancient Temple was probably erected by the True Ancestor of Blood for the purpose of returning, or for the revival of a certain elder."
"Regardless of whether the 'crossing' I was sleeping before is true or not, since the Ancient Temple was established by the True Ancestor of Blood, and it also stored a certain amount of divine power, it must be very likely that it is the divine power of blood that is stored!" Looking at the small statue in front of her, Charlotte was thoughtful.
After thinking about it, she closed her eyes and carefully extended her senses, invading the inside of the idol. At the same time, she also raised her vigilance and was ready to end the investigation in time if something happened...... After all, this thing is still unclear, although the perception makes her feel quite close, but it is better to be as careful as possible to avoid any accidents.
Like what...... In case there is still some real True Ancestor's will left in it, just wait for her to send it to the door and take it away.
As it turned out, though, Charlotte was overthinking. After her consciousness entered the idol, she quickly gained insight into the nature of the idol.
In her perception, inside the idol, a viscous red liquid glowed like blood.
No, it's not real blood, it's the embodiment of the power of blood. It was divine power, the purest divine power, and it was ...... Or the power of blood that Charlotte dreamed of!
Charlotte finally knew why the idol made her feel a strong sense of calling and intimacy. This idol contains the power of blood, and she is the successor of the blood tome, if you can't feel close, then there are ghosts.
And looking at the huge divine power filled inside the statue, Charlotte was almost stunned. She almost subconsciously calculated how many True Ancestor liberations she could use with so much divine power, and the result of the calculation startled her a lot.
The divine power stored inside this idol may be able to allow her to completely liberate her True Ancestor, and it will be no problem to support it for half an hour!
It can be said that even if she does not replenish her divine power, Charlotte will not have to worry about the consumption of blood divine power in a short period of time, but she can wave to her heart's content.
"Fortunately, the ritual of the Blood Demon Sect was not successful, if they really succeeded, with the blood divine power of this scale, I am afraid they can really summon the Blood Demon Grand Duke to this world." Charlotte couldn't help but sigh.
The answer is already obvious. If her judgment is correct, the Blood Demon Order's infiltration of Castel all this time is probably to use this idol to carry out the divine descent ritual and summon the Blood Demon Grand Duke!
No, or more accurately, to help the Blood Demon Grand Duke quickly regain his strength after summoning him.
Through the past to now, Charlotte has also 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 of Harald, the god of contracts, Mithra, the god of contracts, and even Cauchy, the stargazer of the Ness clan.
However, there are some exceptions. In the texts, the Grand Duke of Blood Demon completed his resurrection, and it was his resurrection that allowed the dark clan of Shadit to overthrow the rule of the Crescent Kingdom.
Of course, recovery is recovery, and recovery and full recovery of strength are two different things. Otherwise, the Crescent Kingdom would not have returned to the rule of the Holy Court in the future.
If Charlotte is not wrong, the Blood Demon Order intends to use the statue of the Ancient Temple to allow the Blood Demon Grand Duke to quickly recover his strength while descending into the world, so as to avoid the mistake of being expelled from the world by the Holy Court last time.
Of course, this is just Charlotte's speculation.
"The Blood Demon Sect has tried to descend more than once, and it is impossible to do so frequently without the instructions of the gods behind it, the Grand Duke of the Blood Demon is so eager to descend and invade this world, could it be that what is about to happen in the Miria world?" Charlotte was thoughtful.
It's a pity that Charlotte is not a god after all, and she doesn't know much. Although she vaguely sensed the smell of the coming storm, she couldn't fully stand at the height of the gods, 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 to hunt down the Blood Demon Sect, they must know something."
"Also, since this idol is ownerless, then maybe I can try to leave my mark on it as well......" Thinking of this, Charlotte gently lifted the idol.
She took a deep breath and summoned the blood divine power that she had already mastered in the Blood Tome, transforming them into the sigil of the Thorn Rose, and then covering the vague idol.
The next moment, a strange scene appeared. After the mark of the thorn rose was covered, I saw that the vague idol suddenly burst into crimson brilliance, and its appearance gradually became clear.
And when the light faded, its appearance was no longer blurred, but Charlotte's.
Of course, not Charlotte's now
"Youthful and childish" version, rather
"Adult Royal Sister" version. Charlotte was stunned, and then she sensed that she seemed to be connected to something.
She followed that sense of connection, and soon realized that it was the idol that connected her. A strong throbbing came to my heart, with a call and guidance from the underworld.
Charlotte was surprised to perceive that the idol seemed to be a part of herself, becoming like an arm, as if she were an incarnation outside her body.
Her heart moved, and the statue flew up on its own, as if it had been integrated into the black dragon's body, and it had also merged into her body.
But unlike the black dragon, after integrating into her body, the idol quickly dissolved, as if the doppelganger was integrated into the body, and the wanderer returned to his hometown.
In Charlotte's perception, the idol quickly turned into a cloud of crimson light, flowing through the limbs of her body, and finally converging on her heart, bursting with unprecedented brilliance.
A warm feeling spread from her heart, and Charlotte felt as if she had turned into a fiery fireball, or rather...... It seems that some kind of new metamorphosis has begun!
A little bit of brilliance spreads, swirling around Charlotte. In the real world, Charlotte's body flew up on its own, her heart shone brightly, and the golden red light exploded, quickly enveloping her body...... In an instant, Charlotte's body turned into an ellipsoidal cocoon of light.
A faint wave of energy spread out in all directions centered on the light cocoon, sweeping over the Earl's Court, past Castel Square, and finally spreading throughout the North Harbor...... At this moment, all the transcendents in Beigang felt an inexplicable palpitation, and the transcendent blood in their bodies seemed to be ready to move.
"Puff ......" a heartbeat resounded in everyone's hearts. The transcendents looked puzzled, wondering where the voice was coming from.
"Puff ......" another heartbeat, much more powerful than the sound just now. The transcendents of the Northland were shocked to find that when their hearts were beating, their hearts were echoing, and the rhythm was almost one.
"Puff ......"
"Puff ......"
"Puff ......"
The heartbeat of "......" became clearer and clearer, like a drumbeat. The transcendents were in a complete commotion: "What happened? ”
"Do you hear your heartbeat?"
"What's the movement? Where? The transcendents looked puzzled, unable to find the source of the heartbeat, but felt that with the heartbeat, their blood and strength were also vibrating.
At the same time, all over the Northland, some children who did not have the power of awakening bloodlines suddenly felt as if some kind of shackles had broken in their bodies, and there were actually extraordinary awakening calls...... In the Nice Clan's underground liaison office in Northport.
The Bloods on duty had already crawled to the ground with that heartbeat, and every heartbeat that sounded like a drum in the ears of other transcendents was like thunder in their perception.
At this moment, all the bloodlines of the Northland felt a strong throbbing of their blood, a coercion that seemed to come from the soul as the sound of their heartbeat intensified, enveloping their hearts.
This throbbing was felt even by Sebas and Yurst, who were far away on the border, and they looked at each other, and they saw a hint of surprise in each other's gaze.
And in the Castel mining area, in the subhuman tribe that has restored the true ancestor faith, the thorn rose symbol placed on the altar has also suddenly changed.
The crimson brilliance spread, and I saw that the enshrined emblem was fast
"Melt", and again
"Cohesion". And when the brilliance fades, what is presented in the eyes of the subhumans is no longer a holy emblem, but a vivid statue!
Her appearance is that of Charlotte as an adult! Looking at the recondensed idol and feeling the coercion and throbbing in the underworld, the subhuman priests were excited and ecstatic: "It's my lord!" The splendor of our Lord! Our Lord's heartbeat! Idol of our lord! ”
"The power of our lord...... It's back to some of it! ”
"Praise be to you! Supreme True Ancestor! The embodiment of darkness and shadows! The source of all bloodlines! ”
The "......" vision appeared all over the Northlands, and even the bell of the town god in the Diocese of the Holy Court Crescent once again sounded like a warning bell, causing chaos in the royal cathedral......
"High Priest! The town god bell warns! The power of the evil god has been revived again! The pastor said in a panic.
In front of the statue of the god lord, the parish priest in a golden and red robe slowly opened his eyes: "Which direction?" ”
"It's northwest!" The priest said hurriedly.
"Northwest ......" The diocesan priest muttered to himself, then closed his eyes, stroked the sacred scepter in his hand, and only opened his eyes again after a while, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "It's the ...... of the Northland" After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "Go and invite the presiding judge of the Inquisition, there is work to be done again." ”…… Charlotte didn't know what a stir she had made with the Fusion Idol.
After a fusion that lasted almost ten minutes, the light cocoon shattered and she regained her freedom. When I opened my eyes, I was naked again in the small mirror on the desk, and my previous clothes had turned to ashes.
Charlotte picked up spare clothes from the hanger and draped them over her body, then checked her physical condition.
Fusing with that idol, her strength didn't increase significantly, but she could sense that something seemed to be different in her body.
The most obvious thing is the skin, her body was already like cream, but at this moment it looks even more perfect, so delicate that it no longer looks like a mortal, like a divine creation.
And when Charlotte closed her eyes and carefully perceived it, she was even more surprised to find that her heart was no longer normal red, but turned golden.
It beats vigorously, and every time it beats, it seems to fit into a certain rhythm in the dark. And in a higher view, Charlotte
"See" a slowly rotating crimson crystal appear in the part of his heart, like an image of the heart.
The crystal was carved with the emblem of the Thorn Rose, and there seemed to be a flame dancing in the center, as if it was also connected to something in the dark.
However, the crystal looked somewhat illusory and seemed incomplete. Following some instinct, Charlotte established communication with her, and soon found herself able to mobilize as if she were wielding the Blood Codex
The power of the "heart". And after she mobilized her strength, her consciousness spread in an instant. Charlotte was surprised to find that she had established a more direct connection with the idols worshiped by the subhuman tribes, like a huge network!
The Holy Book of Blood bloomed brightly, and the title page opened on its own. In Charlotte's perception, the chapters belonging to the Chapter of God shone brightly, and new words also appeared...... [Blood Sacred Text: Chapter of God] [I am the Hope of the Mortal] [I am the Grace of Miracles] [Faith ignites the divine fire, and the flame casts the divine seat] [Eternity is with me, and divine grace is also a shackle] [The Chapter of God ability unlocked-] [Web of Faith]......
