Gospel of Blood

The barrier over the Northern Grand Duchy has been lifted, and the reclamation of faith within the Free Tribe Alliance is progressing smoothly.

As the masses bowed in reverence before the statue, Charlotte, who was observing from the sky in concealment, felt the faith network in her consciousness suddenly expand, revealing a radiant node and countless shimmering “stars.”

In that moment, Charlotte sensed a tremendous power crossing the void, merging into her faith network, and subsequently integrating into her consciousness and soul.

It was an energy akin to divine power.

More accurately, it was the “totem power” accumulated over a thousand years by the Free Tribe Alliance, which had revered the faceless statue as a “totem.”

This “totem power” was remarkably similar to the power accumulated through the worship of Gods, as the faceless statue symbolizing the Savior’s totem had drawn extraordinary power from generations of Savior’s devotees.

After a millennium of sedimentation within the statue, its quality had nearly reached that of divine power.

Charlotte discovered that with just a slight manipulation, this power could be easily absorbed and converted into her blood divine power.@@novelbin@@

After some contemplation, the concealed Charlotte pointed slightly at the statue on the altar.

This was a feat of the bloodborne talent, a shadow spell within the Dark Path, involving the manipulation of space and shadow laws.

Having successfully reclaimed the Faceless Statue, Charlotte flicked her fingers, causing her blood divine power to surge, and a more lifelike statue appeared on the altar.

This was the statue prepared by the Nightshade Cult for her.

However, it depicted Charlotte in her adult form.

Under the shroud of mental magic, no one noticed the switch of statues on the altar.

In the eyes of the believers, the statue on the altar simply radiated light, with its facial features becoming clear, as if once again recognized by the God.

The praises grew more fervent, and the prayers intensified.

Seizing the opportunity, Charlotte imprinted her divine image into the minds of the devotees through mental magic.

“Your prayers… I have heard them.”

She conveyed this to their hearts.

Thus, faith was restored, and Charlotte successfully merged with the Savior totem of the Free Tribe Alliance.

The Faceless Statue, worshipped by the Free Tribe Alliance for centuries, had completed its faith node task and was successfully reclaimed by Charlotte.

Holding the Faceless Statue, Charlotte could clearly sense its immense power.

The statue, already containing the blood divine power left by the True Ancestor of Blood, had accumulated significant energy from centuries of worship by the Free Tribe Alliance.

Charlotte roughly estimated its overall strength had already surpassed the divine power she had converted while “purifying” the fallen bloodbornes in the Harcos Sanctuary.

Moreover, perhaps due to a thousand years of worship and her fusion with the Free Tribe Alliance’s totem faith, Charlotte found it effortless to absorb the statue’s accumulated energy. R𝐀𝐍оʙƐṠ

Even the statue itself, drawn by Charlotte’s power, began to integrate with her without any effort on her part.

Soon, the statue was completely assimilated…

This time, despite assimilating a Faceless Statue, no other phenomena occurred.

Charlotte realized this was because her Demigod status had become increasingly stable, and a single Faceless Statue no longer held as much significance or power as before.

Although there were no outward phenomena, Charlotte felt her understanding of divine laws deepens once more.

Additionally, whether it was an illusion or not, she sensed a subtle change in her blood divine power.

Having absorbed the statue, Charlotte retained about seventy percent of its accumulated energy, channeling the remaining thirty percent to the believers of the Free Tribe Alliance through the faith network.

Using her blood divine power, she selected nearly three hundred devout believers and elevated them to the rank of priests.

Furthermore, Charlotte bestowed a small and a large amount of pure divine power upon Astrid, the “God’s Favored One”, and Sebastian who led the Free Tribe Alliance in welcoming her.

With her status and power constantly rising, and the Nightshade Cult expanding, bestowing enough divine favor upon devout followers was no longer a burden for Charlotte.

Those who perform meritorious deeds should be rewarded.

As the blood divine power descended, enveloping Astrid and Sebastian, their auras surged.

Divine power flowed into Astrid, transforming her body swiftly.

She felt her extraordinary bloodline awakening and evolving rapidly, and her understanding of faith and totem power usage increased.

Her aura soared past the Starry Sky tier, entering the Silver Moon tier, and only stopped rising upon reaching the peak of Silver Moon.

Surrounded by crimson light, Astrid became a true “God’s Favored.”

Sebastian underwent a similar transformation. Crimson light enveloped him, and his aura skyrocketed!

Within moments, his extraordinary power rose from the bottom of Blazing Sun to its peak, almost reaching Legendary.

His appearance also changed, becoming more handsome, with his blood-red eyes tinged with golden-red color.

The skeletal mark left by the Pure White Witch on his wrist also vanished instantly.

Feeling his transformation, Sebastian first expressed shock, then immense gratitude.

“Great Master, Great Lord, your loyal servant Sebastian thanks you for your grace!”

Seeing the transformed Sebastian and Astrid under the divine power, Charlotte also showed surprise.

She realized the change in her blood divine power.

Her divine power… could now directly elevate a being’s status.
