Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel

Chapter 42: Divine Names


The thunderous roar echoed continuously, and the swirling clouds were pierced by dazzling light.

In the forest, beneath the thickets, birds and beasts each curled up, trembling with fear.

Meanwhile, in the villages of the northern border, the trembling villagers prostrated on the ground, praying and worshiping the raging clouds and radiance in the sky, beseeching the deities' wrath not to descend upon them.

The wrath of the deities...

No, more accurately, it should be the mighty force of the God War.

Scarlet, silver, and purple radiance swirled within the clouds continuously, coiling and intertwining.

One chased, two fled, emanating an aura of world-ending destruction and oppression, where only the external divine mighty at these places made all spirits tremble.

Occasionally, divine light broke through the clouds and fell to the ground, instantly severing rivers, collapsing mountains, creating a scene of apocalyptic devastation.

This... is the power of myth.

After an unknown duration of pursuit, the scarlet glow finally caught up with the silver and purple glows, and an endless darkness abruptly engulfed the sky, obscuring the blazing sun, replaced by a rising blood moon.

Deafening rumblings echoed in the dark clouds, accompanied by the ancient urgent exclamations:

"No... How could you possess such power... How could you possess such power!"

"Who are you? You... no, who exactly are you?"

"We surrender, we're willing to cease fighting!"

The exclamations... fearful, puzzled, horrified.

And after the exclamations, a mysterious, majestic female voice emerged:

"Cease fighting? Sorry, I do not accept a ceasefire."

The scarlet glow instantly erupted, crimson radiance descended from the blood moon, illuminating the entire sky.

Terrified and painful wails echoed in the sky as the silver and purple glows grew increasingly dim and weak under the scarlet glow, eventually fading completely.

The rolling clouds gradually calmed, the restless magic power slowly subsided as well.

The boundless darkness gradually faded away, and the blood moon hanging high in the sky also dimmed, allowing sunlight to shine on the earth once again, returning the world to tranquility, as if everything that had just occurred... was a mere illusion.

Of course, the collapsed mountains, cracked earth, severed rivers, and the devastated forest sufficiently evidenced that the recent events were not illusions but a true terrifying God War.

With the terrifying majesty gone, birds and beasts regained control of their bodies, fleeing in panic, still apprehensive about the recent events.

In the dense forest, a red glow descended from the sky, the light scattered, revealing Charlotte's figure.

She remained in her adult form, her entire body subtly surrounded by scarlet blood divine power, while a silver and a purple phantom orb floated in her hand.

Under the forest wind, her silver hair danced, golden-red eyes scanned the devastated ground, flashing a hint of regret:

"Seems... the commotion caused was somewhat too large."

"No choice, the magic power and elements in this era are far more active than in the afterlife, the transcendent force in the air is easier to mobilize as well, making the destruction power at times of God War far stronger than in the afterlife..."

"Such destruction power, if it were in the afterlife, perhaps only true 'deities'... could achieve it?"

"Looks like, during future battles with other myths, I should keep further away from the ground."

With a heartfelt decision to keep further away from the ground during future fights, Charlotte then looked at the two orbs in her hand.

No, or more accurately, it was the "spoils of war" she just captured, the divine fire of two Old Gods.

The battle with the Old Gods was far easier than Charlotte imagined.

As it turns out, the increasingly perfected Blood Holy Scripture holds ever stronger suppression power against the "Old Gods".

Although the surprise attack from two Old Gods caught her off guard initially, but once the fight began, Charlotte was astonished to find that battling Old Gods of the same demigod stature in this era felt like a parent fighting a child, way too effortless.

Her blood divine power was practically a nemesis to the Old Gods, not only could it constantly devour the opponent's divine power, but also suppress the power outbreaks of their divine power, so after a few engagements, the two ambushing Old Gods began to feel off.

After several rounds of combat, realizing the adversary was tougher than expected, the two myths unanimously decided to turn and flee.

Of course, Charlotte, who had already amassed considerable divine power, they did not escape Charlotte's grasp, but were instead chased by her, and after a round of combat, their bodies were easily obliterated, their divine power devoured, and their divine fire seized.

Unlike the last battle with Adora, the God of Hatred and Deformation, this time the two demigods encountered were much weaker, which was also another key reason she could quickly conclude the fight.

Moreover, while she was fighting the two demigods, she faintly seemed to sense a familiar aura from them.

Or more accurately, a similar aura to the gray-white mist behind those two eerie stone doors in her subconscious.

"Previously in the village, the bloodline girl I rescued looked identical to the Royena I have seen, likely the afterlife's Royena."

"At that time... the Old God Priest before her also carried this familiar aura."

"Now, these two demigods similarly possess this aura, perhaps... I can 'interrogate' them to figure out what this aura truly is, whether it indeed relates to the so-called Primordial..."

Thinking of this, Charlotte once again looked at the two orbs in her hand.

Divine fire is the foundation of a demigod, also the prototype of a divine position.

A demigod's divine power comes from the divine fire, and similarly, the demigod's divine soul origin resides within the divine fire.

It can be said, the divine fire does not extinguish, the demigod will not fall, only when the divine fire extinguishes will the demigod truly die, until someone reignites the extinguished divine fire, can the demigod return.

In other words, these two demigods, though they lost their divine bodies, and their divine power was devoured by Charlotte, they still weren't dead.

No, even the divine power devoured by Charlotte is only the divine power within their divine bodies. The divine fire is the true source of a demigod's divine power, with 90% of their divine power residing within the divine fire.

However, when Charlotte carefully observed the two clusters of divine fire in her hand, she discovered that the divine fire of these two demigods was different from her own.

Her golden-red divine fire burned in her heart, with a faintly visible phantom of a crystal carved with thorns and roses, which was her still-unformed divine position.

But the divine fire of these two demigods was different; theirs was much smaller than Charlotte's, appearing as if it had just been ignited.

Moreover, there was no phantom of a divine position in their divine fire, only two fragmented crystals.

The crystals were not illusions but actual entities, continuously rotating within the divine fire, with a very profound aura. Charlotte quickly realized that these should be genuine divine fragments.

Even more surprisingly, on these two divine fragments, Charlotte could also sense a familiar gray-white misty aura.

This made Charlotte quite curious—curious about the identities of these two demigods and even more curious about the power within them.

"I don't seem to have seen any information about you in the records. You seem to be demigods never recorded in any city-state. Who are you? Where do you come from?"

Charlotte asked.

Silence.

The two clusters of divine fire did not respond, even though Charlotte could still sense the divine souls of the two demigods hiding within them.

"No answer? It seems... I'll have to ask differently."

Charlotte said lightly.

After speaking, crimson brilliance blossomed in her palm, transforming into golden-red flames that burned on the two clusters of light.

Screams soon echoed, and weak yet terrified voices came from the two divine fires:

"Ahhhh... I will tell... we will tell..."

"My name is Caterno!"

"My name is Clairau!"

"We come from the Sun Divine Palace!"

Caterno?

Clairau?

Charlotte frowned slightly.

In the two days since she crossed into this era, besides completing Lilith's work, her main task has been perusing the records of the Old Gods active in the Northern Border, for the upcoming "hunt" plan.

However... she had never heard these two names among the Old Gods.

Furthermore...

Sun Divine Palace?

Is that not the domain of the Sun God Helios, one of the two Main Gods of the Elves?

Are these two demigods sub-gods of the Sun God?

But they... don't seem to be Elf demigods, and according to historical records, at this era and time, the Sun God Helios should have already fallen, and the Sun Divine Palace should have faded into history.

Moreover, even if it hadn't become history, shouldn't the remaining forces of the Sun God still be struggling to survive on the shattered West Continent? How could they appear in the Northern Border and become the "harbingers" of the Old God forces?

Could it be... that the Elf Clan and the Old Gods have already reached a collaboration?

Charlotte was somewhat puzzled.

"What are your divine names?"

She continued to ask.

"We... we... we don't have divine names yet..."

The two clusters of divine fire stammered.

No divine name?

Charlotte was stunned.

A myth cannot exist without a divine name.

Even a demigod cannot be without one.

Because a divine name is the medium through which a myth exists, just like the symbols of deities, belonging to the anchor point of a deity.

Divine names, symbols... these are the two major anchor points of a myth. Only with anchor points can a myth be "remembered" by the world.

Among these two major anchor points, symbols are not essential, but a divine name is always present.

After all... having a divine name is originally a prerequisite to igniting the divine fire.

Even a demigod like Charlotte, who walks a wild path, has the Dark Night God as her divine name, and after her bloodline further awakened and "altered" history, she even directly possessed the divine names of Blood Ancestor and even Blood True Ancestor.

But these two demigods claim they have no divine names?

That's impossible!

Without divine names, how could they ignite the divine fire and become demigods?
