Gospel of Blood-Chapter 566 : The Second Embrace

As if by fate, history seems to have returned to its “proper” place after a full circle. But Charlotte appears to have no other choice.

No…

To be precise, Charlotte doesn’t dare to gamble.

History that has already happened cannot be changed. Charlotte knows that even if she does nothing, Harald will probably still survive due to historical inertia.

But a variable has already appeared.

Her own time travel is a variable, and Helios time traveling with her is also a variable.

Charlotte knows the history that has already happened cannot be changed, and it is clear that Helios, who traveled with her, knows it too.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

But even so, Helios still attacked Harald.

This indicates that the opponent has other purposes.

An obvious fact is that although the history that has already happened cannot be changed, the future that has not yet happened… can most likely be changed.

Charlotte doesn’t know what Helios’ purpose is, but clearly… she absolutely cannot let the opponent leave some kind of future-affecting “hidden danger” on Harald.

This is not just about Harald’s safety but also about her own return to the future.

“So… to completely counteract the power Helios left in him, my power is necessary, right?”

Charlotte asked.

Artemis nodded.

“Exactly, only the origin power… can counter the origin power.”

“I understand.”

Charlotte also nodded.

Looking at the closed-eyed Harald, she didn’t hesitate anymore, and her eyes turned red again.

Sensing the change in her aura, Artemis and Oceanus took a step back.

Silver hair quickly spread, the crimson eyes with a golden glow became deeper, and Charlotte gently leaned down, biting Harald’s neck.

Crimson light radiated from Charlotte’s body.

The light gradually spread… soon enveloping both her and Harald.

This was Charlotte’s second embrace.

Since she decided to “follow” history and become a part of it, she needed to do everything perfectly.

So, at this moment, Charlotte adopted the same method as when she embraced Lilith for the first time, which was the most complete spiritual blood pact.

This also contained a bit of Charlotte’s personal intent.

After all, this method of embracing creates descendants with the greatest power and the closest connection to their ancestor, making them the most susceptible to their ancestor’s influence.

Unlike Lilith’s blood, Harald’s blood was extremely hot.

The moment the embrace began, Charlotte deeply felt the fervent holy power within him.

No…

To be precise, it was another form of “origin power.”

This was not Charlotte’s first encounter with “holy power”, but bypassing the divine power counter of the Gospel of Blood to directly contact this power through an embrace was a first.

When that scorching “holy power” entered her, Charlotte once again felt the agitation of the phantom Gospel of Blood in the depths of her consciousness.

The blood divine power circulated on its own, and Charlotte sensed that her power soon achieved a mysterious fusion with the holy power.

No, this was not the first fusion.

In fact, she had encountered this once before when she checked Harald’s body last time.

In Charlotte’s perception, Harald’s blood quickly merged with hers, and the holy power and blood divine power attracted each other, becoming one.

A faint white mist reappeared, even spreading from Charlotte’s body.

A vast and ancient aura spread from Charlotte and Harald, radiating an indescribable heaviness and depth.

Where the faint white mist spread, flowers bloomed, grass sprouted, the soil shimmered with a strange glow, bursting with colorful magic, and rocks transformed into beautiful gems and various rare minerals.

Seeing this, Oceanus’ eyes widened in astonishment.

“Goodness! Granting life, evolving everything… Is this the origin power?!”

“No…”

Artemis looked solemn, equally filled with surprise and shock.

“This is… creation power.”

“Creation power?”

Oceanus was stunned, then looked at Charlotte and Harald, bathed in crimson light, in disbelief.

“Damn! Are they… no, are they really not methods of That One returning?”

Charlotte did not know the phenomenon her second embrace had caused.

She only felt that she had entered a wondrous state, as if she had unlocked a switch.

She sensed the “righteous white mist”, different from the “strange white mist”, quickly growing within her, soon surpassing the amount of “origin mist” she had accidentally obtained while checking Harald’s body.

Eventually, these “origin mists” seemed to be drawn and all surged into the divine flame in Charlotte’s heart.

The crimson-gold divine flame burned fiercely, and beneath the flame, a hint of misty white seemed to faintly emerge.

Charlotte was surprised to find that her divine power, which had not grown for three and a half years… suddenly began to grow again!

A phantom crystal silhouette faintly appeared within the divine flame, the prototype of a divine core.

In a trance, Charlotte seemed to understand that the missing piece of her Godhood had inadvertently been found.

It was the holy power…

The final piece she was missing to ascend was an immense amount of holy power!

But at the same time, another inexplicable thought flashed through her mind.

Once she absorbed the immense holy power and fused the blood divine power and holy power to ascend, would she… still be the “True Ancestor of Blood” in the literal sense?

The crimson-gold divine flame burned endlessly, but… ultimately did not condense into a divine core.

The reason was simple, Harald’s holy power was far from enough for Charlotte to take that step.

Meanwhile, the blood fused with blood divine power was reintroduced into Harald’s body by Charlotte.

Platinum light radiated from Harald, the light of holy power, unprecedentedly dazzling.

When that light burst forth, Charlotte suddenly sensed the rhythms of similar blood from the depths of her bloodline. Those were the emotions of other bloodbornes.

Confusion, panic, pain…

Charlotte was instantly startled.

She cast her “gaze” along the bloodline connection, and then saw the expressions of pain on the other bloodbornes under the light.

It was a familiar expression.

The expression bloodbornes had when being “burned” by holy light.

Fortunately, the sacred light quickly subsided and returned to Harald’s body.

The embrace… was completed.

Charlotte could feel the bloodline connection between Harald and herself and sense Harald’s state.

The erosion of the “origin power” had stopped.

In Charlotte’s perception, two types of “origin power” in Harald’s body had formed a subtle balance.

One was grayish-white, Helios’ power, and the other was crimson, Charlotte’s power.

In addition to the strange white mist and the blood divine power, the third power Charlotte was familiar with, the clear and righteous “origin mist”, also flowed continuously within Harald’s body.

Harald had become her descendant.

But… he did not seem to have become a bloodborne in the usual sense.

Charlotte could sense that Harald did not inherit the “curse” of the bloodborne. His power remained holy, but he gained the ability to suppress and command other bloodbornes.

That was the power possessed by the so-called “Royal Bloodline.”

Sensing Harald’s stable aura, Charlotte exhaled softly. Then slowly opened her eyes.

At this moment, she felt a strong sense of fatigue.

The embrace drained not only the bloodline power but also the mental power.

Although Charlotte’s consumed bloodline power achieved a peculiar energy compensation through the fusion of blood divine power and holy power, even further enhancing Charlotte’s divine power, the soul fatigue was unavoidable.

But the results were also evident. Charlotte could almost foresee that when Harald woke up again, even if he couldn’t ignite the divine flame, he would become the strongest among her descendants.

He had fused two mythological-level powers, and igniting the divine flame was only a matter of time.

At this point, even if she had any previous hesitation, Charlotte had to admit that Harald… was indeed likely to be the future Creator God Harald.

Exhaling lightly, Charlotte looked at the two Gods who had been “protecting” her throughout the process.

However, when she looked at Artemis and Oceanus, she found that both Gods were gazing at her with a strange look. Charlotte was taken aback.

“Your Excellencies Artemis, Oceanus, do I… have something on my face?”

Oceanus’ gaze grew more complicated.

He glanced around and couldn’t help but said,

“Eternal Night… do you want to see what has happened around you?”

Charlotte was slightly taken aback.

She instinctively looked around and was instantly stunned.

She saw that, at some point, the land ravaged by divine battles had turned into a dense forest, with towering trees blocking out the sun, and lush flowers blooming.

In the air, the agitated magic had long subsided, replaced by an incredible concentration of elemental power.

In the forest, one could vaguely see countless flitting photons… energy beings that only appeared when magic reached a certain density and purity, elemental spirits.

On the ground, it was even more astonishing.

Various precious minerals were everywhere, including fine gold, mithril, various gems, and magic crystals… radiating from Charlotte and Harald in a circular pattern.

“What… is going on?”

Charlotte was utterly bewildered.
