There is a force that is preventing itself from connecting with the believers in the North!

Charlotte was quick to come to such a judgment.

She was sure that with Sebas's help, Ben had established a path of faith with her named Astrid.

But now, this channel is no longer working.

Of course, Charlotte can still vaguely perceive her connection to the other party.

But as when she had not yet established contact with the other party, she returned to a state where she could only "see" and not "contact".

No, it's not just that you can't "get in touch".

Charlotte keenly sensed that even the ability to "see" seemed to be fading rapidly.

Her original weak connection with these northern believers was being further weakened.

This subtle feeling made Charlotte feel very strange.

If I need a description and metaphor, it is that there seems to be an invisible barrier between these believers in the north and her.

This barrier seems to act on the beliefs of these Northerners, and ...... Quite resilient.

"Acting on the faith...... Is it a faith network? The descendants of these free city-states have formed some kind of totemic network of beliefs after years of belief in the 'Savior'? ”

"No...... It doesn't seem to be, not only the faith of these believers in the North, but even Sebas...... The connection with me also seems to be weakening. ”

"No, it's not just a force against believers in the North, but it seems to be a force that has a wider reach!"

Charlotte was thoughtful.

Thinking of this, she sank into consciousness again, intending to once again set her eyes on those believers in the north through the connection in the dark.

She wanted to see what was stopping her power.

Charlotte sank into consciousness and came to the Night Castle again.

She sat high on the throne of blood and once again summoned the sea of faith.

This time, she used more of the divine power of blood to cast her "gaze" to the north.

The light representing the believers of the North flickered slightly, and Charlotte found the "star" representing Astrid, and lowered her gaze again.

This time, she brought up the spirit of the twelve, wanting to see what the power to isolate herself was.

The divine power of blood bloomed, and Charlotte's vision changed again.

However, just when she was about to successfully descend on the "sight", the feeling of rejection in the dark came again.

"That's right, that's what it feels like...... That's the power! ”

Following her faith connection to Astrid, Charlotte finally finds the distraction.

This time, with the blessing of more divine power, she finally saw the essence of this power clearly.

It was a spell.

No...... More precisely, a ban.

"Forbidden? It turned out to be artificial? ”

Charlotte was a little surprised.

She narrowed her eyes, and then she manipulated her divine power, changed her goal, and no longer tried to establish contact with the believer, but aimed at the prohibition that blocked her power, and rushed straight over!

Crimson brilliance bloomed, and Charlotte's divine power collided with the forbidden in the dark.

Then...... Charlotte finally saw what it was.

It was an incomparably large magical prohibition that enveloped almost the entire North.

"What a powerful ban! And...... It seems to be specifically aimed at the gods, and it can cut off the connection between the gods and the believers......"

"Could it be...... Is this the reason why the missionary faith of the major orders in the north has been frustrated over the years? ”

Charlotte looked surprised.

She looked at the forbidden in amazement, unable to imagine what kind of being could create such a vast amount of magic.

"Could it be...... Is it a god? ”

"No, it shouldn't be a god, if it's a god, it will definitely use divine power, then it's not a ban, it's a divine technique."

Divine power is a power that is more "advanced" than magic.

It's much easier to cover the North with Divine Magic than it is to cover the North with a ban.

Apparently...... I am afraid that this prohibition is not from the hands of the gods, but from the transcendent.

There are transcendental beings who are preventing the power of the gods from descending on the North.

Charlotte was quick to make such a judgment.

And at this time, the "ban" also seems to be aware of the intruder.

In Charlotte's perception, she only felt a powerful magic force surging down the prohibition.

The magic quickly collided with Charlotte's divine power.

Although the quality is far inferior to Charlotte's divine power, it is far greater than the divine power projected by Charlotte by relying on the prohibition.

Not only that, this magic power is quite strange, although it is not a divine power, but it has a certain quality similar to divine power, and it seems to be able to merge with spiritual power.

"I see...... Is it relying on the prohibition, weaving a magical network that interferes with spiritual power with huge magical power, and isolating the exploration of divine power? ”

"The gods project divine power through the void, but the divine power they can project is still too limited, and without a fulcrum, they can't descend too much power."

"So...... Even if it is a god, its power will be blocked by lower levels of magic. ”

Charlotte looked surprised and saw the principle of this prohibition.

The gods need a fulcrum to project their divine power, and the so-called fulcrum is actually the believer.

This prohibition can cut off the connection between the gods and the believers, and prevent the gods from projecting power through the fulcrum of faith.

At the same time, isolating the power of the gods can prevent the gods from further strengthening the fulcrum, and if the gods cannot strengthen the fulcrum, they will not be able to resist the huge magic power that relies on the prohibition to gather.

It's a closed loop.

"It's a very clever technique, but ...... It's still too underestimating the gods. ”

Charlotte narrowed her eyes.

This is indeed a very clever technique.

However, this technique may only be used when the gods are unable to walk on the earth, or when they have just been revived.

When the gods are not walking on the earth, the connection with the believers is already weak, and the faith is easily blocked.

And when the gods recover not long ago, their strength is relatively weak, and they will also be blocked by the huge magic power of the ban.

But alas...... Charlotte is no longer the "god" who has just recovered.

As a demigod who walks on the earth and has accumulated a lot of divine power, Charlotte and Sebas have a very close connection.

While the connection between her and Sebas has been affected, it is far less intense.

In other words, with Sebas as the fulcrum, she is completely capable of directly casting the Divine Descent.

Charlotte wasn't going to do that, though.

At least, not now.

Sebas is visiting the Grand Duchy of the North, and if he performs a divine surrender at this time, it will almost directly expose the existence of the gods behind Castre.

Although Charlotte knew very well that the existence of gods behind Castell's could not be hidden for long, after all, it was a day to drag on.

However, although she didn't plan to use Sebas to cast a divine descent immediately, she was still quite curious about the transcendent who could cast this ban.

She couldn't break this ban for the time being.

But she can see who the transcendent is behind the control.

Thinking of this, Charlotte turned her divine power into a needle, wrapped her spiritual power, and traced back along the prohibition.

As the divine power went upstream, Charlotte clearly felt the pressure of the ban.

Fortunately, she did not aim to break the ban, and the "infiltration" went much smoother.

The divine power was rapidly consumed, and Charlotte's spiritual power also penetrated into the prohibition.

Following the forbidden magic circuit, Charlotte went all the way backwards, and soon located the source of the magic.

"Found you!"

Charlotte was in good spirits.

She immediately increased the output of her divine power and rushed towards the source of the magical power.

The next moment, her spiritual power entered the "source", and her vision changed suddenly.

She saw a quaint temple, and the huge magic array in the temple.

In the magic array, there were many mages in black robes.

The moment she "saw" those mages, Charlotte only felt that her blood throbbed almost instantly.

She certainly knows what that means.

"Bloodline......?"

Looking at those "mages", Charlotte was surprised.
