Yabaton did not respond to Charlotte's words.
He just stood there silently, those crimson-black eyes fixed on her like a lifeless puppet.
Charlotte did not avoid the gaze, calmly meeting it.
The two demigods' eyes locked, intertwining scarlet and dark red divine powers, with flashes of platinum and pale light appearing and disappearing.
Above the sky, clouds swirled, lightning and thunder roared.
In the Holy Capital, magic power raged, space trembled.
At this moment, the entire world seemed to be drawn by the two deities.
In this instant, Charlotte and Yabaton seemed to be the center of the world.
With a sudden peal of thunder, red lightning split the sky.
In the next instant, Yabaton vanished.
No one saw how He disappeared.
The Transcendants hiding in the distance only saw the black figure in the sky suddenly disappear, and at the same time, Charlotte naturally raised her hand.
The void was torn, a giant scythe appeared out of nowhere, attacking from behind, striking towards Charlotte's fair neck, but as if it had been foreseen, was caught gently between Charlotte's raised fingers.
Tremendous energy waves spread outward from the scythe and fingertips, forming a gigantic, expanding ripple that brought down houses, broke trees, like a typhoon rampaging.
The Transcendants on the ground were blown away like ants by the storm fueled by divine power.
The Legendary Clergy's faces changed dramatically.
They collectively released Holy Power, joining forces to construct protective Divine Arts, barely managing to block the terrifying storm, preventing further destruction in the Holy Capital.
And this… was merely the aftermath of the clash of two mythical beings.
Is this the power of a demigod?
Looking up at the figures in the sky with shock and awe, the Legendary Clergy couldn't help but swallow hard.
Myth hasn't appeared in Mireya for too long.
And even the "Evil Gods" that have resurged in recent years were generally sealed or destroyed by the Church during their weak phases, never becoming a real threat.
But today was different, the clergy felt the terror of a mythical being at the peak of its power for the first time.
Indeed, at the peak of its power.
Feeling the terrifying power of the two deities, comparing it to records of myths, the clergy could deduce that the two deities in the sky above the Holy Capital had definitely regained their mythical level strength!
Meanwhile, in the sky.
After blocking Yabaton's ambush, Charlotte assessed further.
The technique of that strike was indeed reminiscent of what she remembered of Yabaton's style, the force of the strike indeed at demigod level.
However… it was too rigid, lacking fluidity, allowing her to sense and predict it in the moment it was executed.
Could it be…
Charlotte pondered as she looked at her opponent.
Simultaneously, Yabaton, having missed with one strike, disappeared again.
Charlotte naturally shifted her body, and the next instant, the scythe reappeared, imbued with dark divine power, slashing down, but missing Charlotte's slightly turned form, slicing past her chest only to hit air.
Like black lightning, divine power struck, leaving a bottomless crevice on the ground.
Accompanied by an ear-splitting roar, the mountains on the outskirts of the Holy Capital, the Saint John Mountain with an elevation of over a thousand meters, erupted like a cascade of fireworks— the Divine Skill Barrier enveloping this "Holy Mountain," shattered like paper in an instant, and then... the entire mountain range was cleaved in two, collapsing in an avalanche of dust.
"Gulp…"
Staring at the collapsed Holy Mountain, the clergy couldn't help but swallow again, their eyes in awed bewilderment.
Saint John Mountain was the preaching ground of the Holy Royal Court's first Chief High Priest, and one of the Holy Land's prime sanctums, protected by layered, legendary Divine Arts.
It was a Divine Skill Barrier that hadn't been breached even when the Holy Royal Court was under siege by Evil Gods, yet it was nigh non-existent now.
The Blood Demon Duke's power… could it be this terrifying?
Is He really just a demigod?!
This thought resonated among all the Legendary Clergy.
The Blood Demon Duke was undoubtedly a demigod.
Glancing at the destruction caused by the divine power's aftermath, feeling the increasingly active Blood Divine Power within her, Charlotte's heart stirred.
The magic power activity in Mireya World… seemed to have suddenly increased significantly with the descent of her and Yabaton.
It was like opening a switch, like meeting a criterion, breaking through a barrier.
This surge wasn't something mortals could sense in a short time, but as a demigod, Charlotte could clearly feel the change.
Although it couldn't compare to two thousand years ago when she first crossed, it wasn't on par with the energy level when she had just crossed to Mireya.
In other words, while myths across the millennium could at most unleash combat prowess infinitely close to demigod level, the myths now... could indeed wield the genuine power a demigod possessed in Mireya.
"I see, so it calculated that a demigod's power could currently be wielded? But unfortunately… a puppet with a manipulated divine soul can't defeat the current me."
Charlotte said calmly.
A… puppet with a manipulated divine soul?!
Feeling the pressure of the Blood Demon Duke, Albrecht's eyes widened.
Charlotte snapped her fingers lightly, platinum Holy Power descended from the sky, illuminating the Holy Capital with her at the center.
The radiance spread, lighting up the darkened streets like a wave of illumination, and within seconds, the paralyzed Divine Arts defenses of the Holy Capital restored themselves.
Not only that, the Holy Power enveloping the Holy Capital was even more dazzling, as if personally cast by the Creator God.
The clergy were already numb with shock.
"The… Dark Night God, is it truly the sub-god of my Divine Lord?"
The supporting Legendary Clergy murmured incredulously.
The platinum Holy Power enveloped the Holy Capital, protecting the entire city like a sturdy shield.
Simultaneously, crimson divine power similarly spread from Charlotte, extending across the sky.
As the crimson power extended, the thick clouds gradually dissipated, revealing a looming Blood Moon in the sky.
The firmament remains shrouded in darkness.
Yet, it is no longer the oppressive clouds, but an eternal night descending like the arrival of the dark night.
The high-hanging Blood Moon appeared behind Charlotte, bathing her in a mysterious and hazy radiance.
Every mythical figure possesses their own Divine Domain.
Charlotte is no exception.
In the past, her Divine Domain was the Dark Night Ancient Castle manifested in the spiritual world.
But now, as a Demigod, she has long been capable of externalizing her Divine Domain, and as the Blood True Ancestor, she possesses the "Blood Moon Night" as her domain.
"Alright, now let me see exactly how strong your power is."
Charlotte said.
The next second, her figure disappeared.
And when she reappeared, it was beside the Blood Demon Duke.
With a swift kick, the Blood Demon Duke flew out like a meteor, crashing into the distant mountains, causing a chain of peaks to collapse.
The dark light rose as the figure of the Blood Demon Duke flew up from the collapsed mountains, looking much more disheveled.
He looked expressionlessly at Charlotte, then swung his scythe and charged towards her once more.
Gazing at the Blood Demon Duke flying towards her, Charlotte was intrigued:
"Not bad, still standing. Come on!"
Soon, she also turned into a streak of crimson light, flying towards him.
On the ground, mortals including the Legendary Clergy could no longer clearly see the battle between the two mythical figures.
They only saw the Blood Moon piercing through the clouds, while the clouds attempted to cover the Blood Moon again.
Crimson and dark forces intertwined and clashed in the sky, each confrontation erupting with heart-stopping waves of energy.
The Holy Capital, under the protection of Holy Power, was safe for now, but outside the Holy Capital, the nearby mountains and forests were ravaged by the battle between the two myths, almost suffering annihilative devastation.
Mountains collapsed, rivers changed course, and merely the aftermath of their battle created a scene akin to timeless transformation.
Under the might of world-ending power, people could only cower like ants, shivering under the divine barrier granted by the deities, continuously praying.
And after a full twenty minutes of rampaging divine power, the battle between the myths... finally concluded.
The clouds in the sky were completely scattered, and in the eternal night, the bright Blood Moon hung high like an imperial presence, shedding hazy light.
In mid-air, a black figure descended like a meteor, slamming into the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
It was the Blood Demon Duke.
His armor was almost shattered, even the scythe in his hand was broken in two, looking beaten beyond recognition.
The crimson radiance descended, and Charlotte landed in the divine light, arriving before him.
Her condition was much better than the Blood Demon Duke, with no visible injuries, though her aura had diminished slightly from the start, indicating that defeating the Blood Demon Duke had also consumed her significantly.
"After all this time, I suppose the confinement can be broken now?"
Charlotte said calmly.
After speaking, she approached the Blood Demon Duke and remotely pointed at his forehead.
The crimson glow spread, soon enveloping the Blood Demon Duke's body, which began to tremble violently.
Shortly thereafter, a pale glow appeared on his forehead, revealing a sun symbol.
However, that sun symbol looked much dimmer, as if it had consumed a considerable amount of energy.
"So it was you."
Charlotte sneered, then suddenly exerted force, causing the sun symbol on the Blood Demon Duke's forehead to fly out.
With a slight grip, Charlotte crushed the sun symbol to fragments like a bubble.
The Blood Demon Duke's body trembled violently once more.
After a moment, it gradually calmed down.
A hint of ancient and worn aura rose from his body as he opened his eyes once again.
No longer were they pitch-black sclera and crazed blood-red pupils.
Instead, they were the amber demon eyes with vertical pupils from Charlotte's memory, bearing the bloodline of a demon.
Seeing those eyes, which revealed a hint of foolishness and daze amidst the confusion, Charlotte smiled:
"Oh, Yabaton, you finally woke up."
"Savior... Your Majesty?"
Yabaton's voice was somewhat hoarse.
But the next second, Charlotte saw his expression turn pained, his body trembled violently.
A pale light reappeared on his body, hugging his head as if enduring immense pain, while he growled lowly:
"Run... run now!"
As soon as the words fell, a blood-colored radiance erupted from his body, transforming into a large and intricate Sacrificial Array, enveloping both Charlotte and the Blood Demon Duke.
Simultaneously, a silvery moonlight rapidly spread, shrouding the high-hanging Blood Moon.
The radiance faded, the Blood Moon concealed, replaced by a dreamy and ethereal Silver Moon.
The Silver Moon hung high, encircled by complex and mysterious runes, illuminating the entire Holy Capital.
Seeing the high-hanging Silver Moon, Nisi, watching from afar, showed a slight change in expression:
"This power... it's the Moon Dream Heart!"
Dark divine power erupted again, the eyes of the Blood Demon Duke transforming back to pitch black and crimson.
He stood up once more, but the aura around him became vast and unfamiliar under the Silver Moon's illumination.
A pale divine force spread around him, his lips curling slightly, speaking with a hoarse voice tinged with slight mockery:
"Dark Night, we finally meet again."
