Gospel of Blood-Chapter 584 : The Plea of the Divine Artifact

The golden radiance continued to spread, alarming the entire Holy Palace.

But for Charlotte, the center of this “miracle”, the experience was entirely different.

In the depths of her consciousness, the Gospel of Blood shimmered, and the Ring Cross symbol above it radiated brilliant light.

In an ethereal sense, Charlotte’s consciousness followed her rising “vision” and once again stood before the golden door in the divine palace.

This time, however, the door was open.

Charlotte looked at the open door, or more accurately, at the supreme artifact of the Holy Court, the Genesis Arbiter, beyond it.

The divine flame burned within her chest, and the stirring in her soul grew stronger.

Following the sense of calling from the ethereal realm, she walked towards the magnificent Ring Cross artifact.

As she approached this legendary artifact, the rhythm within her soul intensified, and the prayers from all directions became clearer.

Until… Charlotte stood before the artifact.

The Ring Cross in her consciousness shone brightly, resonating with the Genesis Arbiter.

At that moment, Charlotte understood that all the calls and stirrings since entering the Holy City originated from this artifact.

It resided in the divine kingdom of the Creator God Harald.

Yet, its projection was in the Holy City, the Holy Capital of the Theocracy.

It was the highest core of the Holy Court’s faith network, and the Ring Cross symbol in Charlotte’s consciousness, floating above the Gospel of Blood, was not just a symbol of the Holy Court but also a projection of this artifact.

It called to Charlotte, yearned for her, and desired to establish a permanent connection with her.

This might seem absurd, at least… to those who knew Charlotte’s true identity.

As the highest artifact of the Holy Court, it desired to connect with the True Ancestor of Blood, an enemy of the Holy Court!

But Charlotte knew why.

The blood divine power and holy power were two forms of origin power, like yin and yang, negative and positive.

These two forces were naturally both attract and repulse each other.

Now, it was showing “attraction.”

Charlotte didn’t know if this was Harald’s doing, but at least… she didn’t feel threatened by it.

On the contrary, she could sense the eagerness of the Gospel of Blood, its desire matching that of the Genesis Arbiter.

The divine flame burned ever more fiercely, and in an ethereal sense, her unique mythical intuition hinted at a revelation—Now was her chance to ascend to a true God!

If she could achieve the perfect fusion of blood divine power and holy power, she could take the step Lilith mentioned, not only becoming a true God but possibly surpassing Gods themself!

With the increasingly clear call and stirring, a strong desire and longing rose within her, and Charlotte unconsciously reached out her hand.

“Your Majesty, are you sure you want to take this step? Forgive my boldness, but now… is not the time. If you insist, you might tread the same path as before.”

An ancient voice echoed, like a bell ringing in Charlotte’s heart.

Charlotte suddenly awakened, her extended hand stopping in mid-air.

The longing in her eyes gradually cleared, and Charlotte calmed down.

Indeed.

How could she forget her original plan, which was to consider the fusion of the two powers only after becoming the real True Ancestor of Blood?

Now was indeed not the time.

Both blood divine power and holy power were evolutions of origin power, extensions of the creation power.

She had received complete inheritance from Lilith, who hoped she would replace her as the real True Ancestor of Blood. Thus, becoming a God as a True Ancestor of Blood first, and then seeking the fusion of the two powers to elevate divine power to origin power, was the most stable and secure approach.

Conversely, if she fused the two powers now, then… who knows if it would be Charlotte or the resurrected Creator, or some other strange entity that would become a God.

Thinking of this, Charlotte’s expression turned serious, and she felt a surge of fear.

This was already the second time.

The last time, in another era, she had felt the same impulse to fuse the two powers, almost on a whim, as if some force in the void was urging her to do so.

Whenever there was an opportunity, it would happen.

Could this be a characteristic of origin power?

Charlotte pondered.

Exhaling lightly, she gathered her thoughts and then looked behind her.

Holy light flickered, and at some point, the ornate scepter on the throne had transformed back into Hafdan, who bowed respectfully to her.

The recent warning had come from him.

Charlotte’s expression softened as she looked at the humanoid form of the wisdom artifact behind her.

“Thank you.”

The ethereal wisdom artifact bowed slightly, as respectful as always.

“This is what I should do, it is my duty.”

Charlotte’s heart stirred.

“So, the last time you said it wasn’t the right time, you were referring to the fusion of the two powers?”

The wisdom artifact nodded slightly.

“Everything is as you surmised.”

“What’s your name?”

Charlotte asked.

“The Lord calls me the Guardian Scepter.”

The wisdom artifact replied.

The Guardian Scepter?

It was a name she had never heard in the church’s records, and the appearance of the artifact didn’t match any in the Holy Court’s records.

So… was this guardian wisdom artifact an artifact that had never appeared outside the divine kingdom, specifically designed to protect the Genesis Arbiter?

Charlotte pondered.

“Just now… you mentioned a similar path. Have you seen me before?”

Charlotte asked again.

“Your Majesty, that question… I cannot answer. Only you can ultimately find the true answer.”

The Guardian Scepter replied respectfully.

Charlotte frowned slightly.

She hadn’t expected the Guardian Scepter to refuse to answer.

“Is it that you don’t want to answer, or you can’t?”

She asked.

The Guardian Scepter remained silent.

“So, it couldn’t answer.”

Although the other party didn’t say anything, Charlotte had some guesses.

Perhaps… the similar path referred to Lilith. After all, Lilith had also attempted to surpass the Gods.

But this brought up a new question. Lilith was a true God, so did becoming a true God still require certain conditions to safely fuse the two powers?

“So, when is the right time to fuse the two powers? Are you here, guarding, waiting for me?”

Charlotte asked.

“When the time comes, you will naturally know. As for me… if you are following the guidance of fate, then… indeed, I have been waiting for you.”

The Guardian Scepter answered.

What a mysterious answer…

When did Harald become such a mystic? Arranging such an artifact to wait here…

“Since it’s not the right time, why didn’t you stop me from entering this time like you did before?”

Charlotte asked.

The Guardian Scepter paused before answering.

“Because… you need the holy power, and the holy power… needs you.”

I need holy power?

Charlotte was taken aback.

It seemed she realized something, and she asked.

“You… know what’s happening in the Theocracy?”

Before waiting for a reply, Charlotte continued.

“Wait, were you the one who passed the message to Albrecht, going in circles?”

The Guardian Scepter sighed slightly.

“The corruption has spread to the core of the holy realm. Only you can stop it, only you can change everything.”

That was a tacit admission.

Charlotte quickly understood.

If this wisdom artifact had somehow conveyed the message to Albrecht, then everything made sense.

Indeed, her relationship with Albrecht was a secret, but to this wisdom artifact, it might indeed be known!

Before she became the Queen of Starfall, Charlotte had been blessed by the Genesis Arbiter, the supreme artifact of the Holy Court.

At that time, Charlotte had thought it was Harald who had given her a grand gesture, but now it seemed it might have been this Wisdom Artifact guarding the Genesis Arbiter.

Albrecht had also been in Starfall at the time, and Charlotte had just ascended to Demigod status.

It wasn’t impossible for a Wisdom Artifact and a supreme artifact to detect her connection with her contract servant.

“So, tell me, what do you want me to do?”

Charlotte asked.

She didn’t ask what she would gain from it. In fact, it was an unnecessary question.

She now knew that Harald of the Holy Court was indeed her disciple from another timeline and that this wisdom artifact harbored goodwill and expectations for her.

That was enough.

“Helios” was her enemy, helping the Holy Court meant helping herself.

Not to mention, from the Guardian Scepter’s words, it seemed the slumbering Harald was also waiting for her to accept the holy power and surpass the Gods.

In other words, in some sense, the Holy Court could be considered her own people.

“Though it may sound presumptuous, I hope you can help the church as the ‘Saintess’, help us expel the corrupting forces…”

“The corruption has already started to taint the core of the church, altering doctrines and authority, even attempting to pollute our slumbering Lord and other subordinate Gods. You are the only clear-headed mythological being in this era, and this task… only you can accomplish.”

“When you came here last time, I should have told you everything, but unfortunately… the corrupting force was too strong. To avoid detection, I had to wait until you came to the Holy Palace to truly speak with you.”

The Guardian Scepter explained.

“The Holy Court was established by Harald. As his artifact, you should know my relationship with him. I’m willing to help the Holy Court and even more willing to help Harald, but you should also know I’m not truly a Saintess, and my power is opposed to the current church.”

Charlotte said.

“No.”

The Guardian Scepter shook its head.

“The Holy Court our Lord established has never deemed your power as evil. All current issues stem from the Holy Court’s corruption. As for the identity of the Saintess…”

The Guardian Scepter looked at the holy power surrounding Charlotte.

“Since you formally established a link with the Genesis Arbiter, you… already are the Saintess.”
