Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel

She smiled and said,

"You are... called Roman, aren't you?"

"You're correct, I am indeed searching for the Faceless Divine Statue, planning to absorb the Blood Divine Power to enhance my own strength and awaken your true purpose, which is exactly so."

With his worries relieved, Roman Sword was suddenly astonished,

"You... no... you know what I think?!"

Charlotte looked at it oddly,

"Didn't you already know this is Dark Night Ancient Castle?"

Does Dark Night Ancient Castle also have this power?

To pry into the Spirit of souls?

Is this the only God in history that wanted to surpass "Gods" mentioned in inherited memories...

Feeling more reverent and trembling, Roman Sword said,

"So it is true, your knowledge of Dark Night Ancient is merely from inherited memories... Well, let's see, it's almost time. Half-Elf Romannus lived a thousand years ago, even if you appeared at that time, it must have been after the Blood Moon Era."

Listening to Roman Sword's thoughts, Charlotte muttered to herself.

Roman Sword was almost numb.

This was truly a terrifying experience; in the presence of this legendary terrifying being, it couldn't hide its thoughts!

"Blood... Bloodline Ancestor, great Eternal Night and Dark King, you... you summoned me here, are you planning to destroy me to reclaim the Blood Divine Power and God Building Law?"

"God Building Law?"

Charlotte's interest was piqued.

She knew what reclaiming the Blood Divine Power meant; Divine Artifacts are named such for they are imbued with Divine Power, powered by it.

So was Roman Sword. At the ceremony site, she hadn't felt it deeply, but now that she had brought it into Dark Night Ancient Castle, she could distinctly feel the considerable Blood Divine Power within it.

However, most of the Blood Divine Power in it served as the "base" of its "existence," and the actual "power" that could be released was very limited.

But what about the God Building Law?

Charlotte was curious.

This was the first time she had heard of the term, and she wanted to ask about it, but felt that asking so directly might not align with the role she was "playing" at the moment.

Although she could explain using the "memories" that hadn't yet recovered after her resurrection, in front of Albrecht who seemed respectful but could seize any opposition opportunity, and Roman Sword which was still frantically pondering ways to escape, she didn't want to appear "weak."

"Is it not so? You... you aren't here to reclaim the God Building Law to restore strength and seek further breakthroughs to become an existence like the Creator God?"

Roman Sword cautiously asked.

Meanwhile, its leaky inner thoughts automatically provided an explanation about "God Building Law." This is a s^amp!le! fr&om* My Vi.rt.u&al L+i%b-r@ar+y^ Em!pir+e. Rea@d# the re+st on M%-@V+L*E%M^P%Y^R*.

Apparently, although it seemed to have repaired its damaged Spirit with her blood, the repair was limited.

At least, in shielding its true thoughts, it was far inferior to Yulster.

'So, the God Building Law is the Power of Laws stored within the Faceless Divine Statue.'

'The Power of Laws is the key to igniting a Divine Position, the foundation of a Divine Position, and the real source of a God's power...'

Listening to Roman Sword's thoughts, Charlotte pondered.

This meant that when she had merged with the Faceless Divine Statue and ignited the Divine Fire, the real reason must have been that she had merged with the God Building Law and then ignited the Divine Fire!

Faceless Divine Statue... actually related to Divine Enthronement!

Indeed, these secrets of Gods should be asked from Mythical sources; though Roman Sword isn't a real Mythical, but as a Mythical-level Divine Artifact, in a sense, it knows as much as Mythical ones!

Charlotte was quite pleased with the various pieces of information inadvertently revealed by Roman Sword's inner thoughts.

However, during Charlotte's contemplation, Roman Sword was struggling immensely.

Watching the "silent" Blood True Ancestor, it became increasingly nervous, increasingly afraid.

It wondered if it had inadvertently said something wrong, upsetting the terrifying being before it.

It couldn't help but indulge in wild thoughts, and correspondingly, Charlotte heard its mind-voice replaced by various imagined scenarios.

Imagining smashing its Artifact Spirit and completely reclaiming its power; imagining pulling out its Artifact Spirit to torture it, satisfying one's own cruel hobbies; imagining putting its Artifact Spirit into a puppet for endless whipping and punishing... Charlotte couldn't listen anymore.

It was unclear whose memories of the Divine Artifact Inheritance were, and who had shaped the Artifact Spirit, as the imaginings were plentiful.

Charlotte didn't want to listen anymore, seeing the even more terrified demeanor of the Roman Sword than Nisi's and Yulster's before, so she chuckled lightly and spoke again,

"I am indeed interested in the power within you, but... whether to reclaim the God's power also depends on the specific circumstances."

"After all, there are more than one Ancient Hall and Faceless Divine Statue scattered around the world, but a Divine Artifact with an Artifact Spirit, this is my first real encounter."

Upon hearing Charlotte's words, the blade of the Roman Sword suddenly brightened.

A tender voice carefully rose up, carrying a hint of trepidation and a strange excitement,

"Do you... do you mean to say, you are not planning to destroy me, but intend to spare me?"

Charlotte smiled,

"As I said, it depends on the specific circumstances, more precisely, on your choice."

The Roman Sword wasn't that foolish, it understood Charlotte's implication.

As if fearful that Charlotte might regret, it quickly exclaimed,

"I... I am willing! Great Eternal Night King! The embodiment of Blood Moon and Dark! Supreme True Ancestor! The Roman Sword wishes to submit to you, to become your power!"

Having said that, the blade of the Roman Sword once again emitted a faint light, a vague yet intricate mark that slowly emerged atop it, looking somewhat like a lilac flower.

That was the physical manifestation of the Artifact Spirit's True Spirit Mark.

And showing its own True Spirit Mark was an indication of the Holy Artifact's willingness to submit.

The same was true for a Divine Artifact with an Artifact Spirit.

As for why the True Spirit Mark of the Roman Sword took the form of a lilac flower, that naturally was because its original owner had been the Half-Elf Romannus.

The lilac flower was Romannus's mark, and it was also the crest of the Roman family.

Watching the Artifact Spirit displaying its True Spirit Mark, Charlotte slightly smiled.

Though the process was somewhat convoluted, in the end, the Roman Sword had chosen to submit to her.

Of course, she had anticipated this.

After all, the power of the Roman Sword was originally linked to her, and as someone increasingly approaching the origin of the "Bloodline," the Roman Sword was utterly incapable of opposing her.

Charlotte leaned forward slightly and gently touched it.

The Blood Divine Power spread, and in the next moment, the mark on the blade of the Roman Sword suddenly changed, quickly transforming from a lilac flower into a thorny rose symbol.

Simultaneously, Charlotte felt something subtly added to her own Spirit world.

The experience for the Roman Sword was even more profound.

It felt an irresistibly powerful will descending upon its soul, easily overshadowing the contract it had with Romannus and the Roman family.

Its True Spirit was drawn out, swiftly establishing a certain connection with that awe-inspiring will.

Its form gradually faded and ultimately disappeared.

Deep within Charlotte's Spirit world, a silver radiance slowly converged, transforming into an exquisite Elf-style one-handed great sword, precisely the form of the Roman Sword.

Feeling the gradually stabilizing contract, the Roman Sword breathed a sigh of relief.

Having established a contract with the Blood True Ancestor, it had become the Divine Artifact of the Blood True Ancestor, with no need to worry about being destroyed by the Blood True Ancestor.

At least... not for now, as long as it could demonstrate sufficient value.

However, just when the Roman Sword had relaxed, it suddenly tensed up.

It saw the incredibly dazzling radiance beside it.

That was... the glow of the Blood Holy Scripture...
