Gospel of Blood

“Eternal Night… Monarch!”

A brilliant silver phantom giant appeared in the sky, its face, formed from divine power, full of resentment and anger.

Charlotte slightly raised her head, a faint smile brushing her exquisite and beautiful cheeks.

“Sir Bartos, we meet again.”

Bartos, the God of the Sky.

He was the second-ranked Demigod in the Old Gods Alliance and a staunch follower of the Sun Temple.

According to Charlotte’s knowledge, his relationship with the creator of the Old Gods Alliance, the God of Secret Contracts, was not harmonious, making him a major force in the faction aligned with the Sun Temple.

Three and a half years ago, Charlotte had fought against him once. He was a Demigod capable of controlling the celestial phenomena and wielded an artifact called “The Balance of All Things”, which could amplify divine power.

Among the Demigods Charlotte had faced, he was one of the few who could confront her alone.

In the past two years, Charlotte’s strength had greatly increased.

Although her accumulated divine power had not yet transformed, her reserves and mastery of divine power had far surpassed before.

Two years ago, when Charlotte battled him, he hadn’t even used his artifact.

Now, even with his artifact in play, he was still forced back by Charlotte’s divine power in their first clash.

And this, without Charlotte using the power of the Gospel of Blood.

“Your growth rate has exceeded my expectations. You are the most outrageous myth I’ve ever encountered. No Demigod can stand against you alone.”

This was the sigh of Oceanus, the Sea King, who had trained Charlotte in divine power six months ago.

Of course, this was to be expected.

With the Gospel of Blood as a cheat, Charlotte carried tutoring books and nutritional supplements at all times, and with the guidance of a true God like Oceanus, her growth was inevitable.

Now, the outcome was clear.

Even one of the top myths in the Old Gods Alliance could no longer stop Charlotte.

However, despite losing the initial clash, the God of the Sky, Bartos, did not retreat.

His brilliant silver divine power burst forth again. With a roar, he charged at Charlotte once more.

Charlotte glanced at the bloodbornes on the ground protected by the artifact, and her body erupted with crimson divine power.

She quickly ascended, controlling her divine power to battle Bartos.

The fight between myths was no longer something mortals could interfere with.

In the Mythic Era, magic was more active, and the power that Demigods could utilize and the destruction they could cause far surpassed later eras.

Therefore, after the initial clash, Charlotte took the battle high into the sky.

Crimson light soared into the sky, and the silver light followed.

Faintly, the silver giant’s roar could be heard.

“Eternal Night Monarch, do you look down on me?! You will pay for your arrogance!”

Charlotte was not surprised by Bartos’ reaction.

Gods were arrogant, and Demigods were no different.

The sky was Bartos’ domain, and Charlotte’s ascent and transfer of the battlefield to the high heavens was a form of contempt and provocation.

Enraged, Bartos’ silver light became even more dazzling, and the shadow of his artifact reappeared.

Soon, a more intense battle broke out in the high sky.

“Boom—!”

Thunder continuously echoed in the sky.

Protected by the artifact, the bloodbornes raised their heads.

They looked at the sky, unable to see their Progenitor’s figure, only the collision of crimson and silver divine powers in the clouds.

The rolling clouds were like a boiling sea, red and silver lightning intertwining with deafening thunder, and terrifying divine power constantly erupted in the high sky.

The mere aftershocks of this battle formed terrifying magical storms, causing chaos on the ground.

Fortunately, at least it wouldn’t cause mountain-crumbling, earth-shattering destruction.

But even so, looking at the ever-changing celestial phenomena in the sky, the bloodbornes’ eyes were filled with awe and longing.

As high-level extraordinaries, they could feel the terror of each divine power collision.

They only dared to look up in awe, not daring to release their mental power.

A slight mistake could have their dispersed mental power torn apart by the magical storm stirred by the divine power aftershocks, directly injuring their souls.

But even from a distance, they could roughly see the direction of the battle between the two myths.

After withstanding the first wave of silver light, the crimson light burst forth again, sweeping the sky with overwhelming force, and shattering the silver light.

Evidently, even in Bartos’ domain, Charlotte still held the upper hand.

The bloodbornes looked up in awe, seeing the blood moon in the sky growing more red and dazzling, and the silver light swaying like a lone boat in a storm.

Despite being a renowned myth in the northern regions, and despite being revered by mortals, the “God of the Sky” now seemed like a child before the crimson divine power.

“Our Progenitor… is so powerful!”

This was the unanimous thought of all the third-generation bloodbornes, including Abaddon and Harald.

As the crimson and silver lights intertwined for about three minutes, a second myth finally couldn’t hold back.

From the mountains, another divine light burst forth, joining the battle.

A green light with totem shadows and beast roars.

Even with the addition of the second divine light, the crimson light didn’t weaken, maintaining a significant advantage even against two opponents.

One against two!

The bloodbornes’ eyes grew even more fervent.

Though not their first time seeing their Progenitor take on two opponents at once, watching the divine battle in the high sky still filled them with awe.

However, this one-sided battle didn’t last long.

Soon, a third myth joined the fray.

A grey-blue divine power soared into the sky, adding a third Demigod to the battle.

Shortly after, a fourth, then a fifth…

The bloodbornes on the ground were numb.

The battlefield in the sky had clearly risen higher, and the divine lights were becoming more distant.

But the crimson light remained steady, even against the simultaneous assault of five myths.

Until the sixth divine power pillar appeared, the crimson light began to be suppressed.

“Progenitor!”

Seeing Charlotte starting to fall behind, the bloodbornes’ expressions changed, becoming tense and worried.

But in the next moment, a more dazzling crimson light exploded in the high sky.

“Origin Power?!”

They heard an exclamation from the sky. The six divine lights retreated as if avoiding something.

But they didn’t retreat far, forming a surrounding stance, enveloping the crimson light.

The battle paused, and the light dissipated.

In the high sky, Charlotte’s silver hair fluttered, divine power swirling around her, while six myths slowly appeared around her, taking human forms and surrounding her.

The silver giant, the God of the Sky Bartos, also shrank in size.

He transformed into a two-meter-tall, silver-haired man in a white robe, seemingly the leader of the six myths, facing Charlotte from a distance.

With a solemn expression, he looked at Charlotte, especially at the deep, devouring blood divine power around her, his handsome face filled with complexity and dread.

“Unexpectedly, after two years, your strength has grown so much.”

“No wonder that snake was so easily slain. If you continue to grow, you might indeed become a God who truly wields the ‘Power of Creation.’”

“As the Lord said, you are an anomaly for the Gods, a variable that shouldn’t exist. An anomaly like you, who steals the power of creation, should be strangled in the cradle!”

“However… luckily, you are still too confident, too arrogant to dare come alone to the heart of the Dragonspine Mountains!”

“Eternal Night Monarch, you are a worthy enemy, but… today will be the day of your demise!”

With that, he roared towards the distant land.

“What are you waiting for! Act together and capture her!”

Before his voice faded, another six divine lights soared into the sky.

All the Demigods hidden in the Dragonspine Mountains… made their move.

Twelve lights rose, forming a massive divine cage.

Different lights intertwined, forming complex, mysterious divine runes, creating a huge divine net that enveloped Charlotte.

The divine net tightened, isolating Charlotte from heaven and earth, imprisoning her like a cage.

Simultaneously, Charlotte felt her connection to the Gospel of Blood severed.

The crimson blood divine power dimmed, and she sensed her “devouring” ability was “sealed”, even her divine flame wavered.

Charlotte raised an eyebrow slightly.

She reached out to touch the web-like divine cage, feeling the stinging in her heart and fingertips, and said with interest.

“This is… a divine technique that can seal divine flames and origin power?”

The God of the Sky Bartos looked at her indifferently.

“Indeed, a divine technique tailored specifically for you, capable of sealing your unique divine flame.”

“If you had ascended to a true God, perhaps we couldn’t do anything to you, but unfortunately, you are not a true God.”

“Eternal Night Monarch, we know you can’t ascend to a true God now, you… can’t escape.”

With that, the divine net rapidly contracted, transforming into chains to bind Charlotte.

Just as the chains were about to entangle her, the necklace on Charlotte’s chest suddenly emitted a deep blue light. A presence far deeper and more vast than any present myth spread out instantly, shredding the weaving divine chains.

Along with this profound presence came a rough, teasing voice.

“Tailored for ‘Demigods’, huh? What a coincidence!”
