Gospel of Blood

"The Bloodline of Royal Clan... Could it be that the reason I became so powerful after advancing to the Starry Sky is because my bloodline as a Bloodborne has changed?"

Charlotte pondered.

Charlotte was well aware that her previous bloodline was not from the Bloodline of Royal Clan, but rather from the Bloodline of Shedite, the Dark Clan.

That was the bloodline she awakened after seizing the power of the crazy grandmother.

After becoming a Bloodborne, Charlotte specifically studied the bloodlines of the Bloodborne.

It is said that there are six major clans among the Bloodbornes.

However, in the internal struggles over thousands of years, the vampires had long declined, and only five of the six major clans remained.

From what Charlotte understood, the current five major vampire clans are:

Wild Clan, Vadállat, specializing in the resonance of the wild path, is mainly active in the Coria Kingdom and the Eastern Yunette Blacklands.

Mental Clan, Szellem, specializing in the resonance of the mental path, is mainly active in the Kingdom of Coria and the Western Yunette Empire.

Flesh and Blood Clan, Harcos, specializing in the resonance of the flesh and blood path, is mainly active in the Western Yunette Empire and the Northlands Grand Duchy.

Insight Clan, Néz, specializing in the resonance of the insight path, is mainly active in the Fallen Star Kingdom and Luna Island.

And, the Dark Clan, Shedite, specializing in the resonance of the dark path, is mainly active in the Crescent Kingdom and the Luna Island Coastal Cities.

Besides these, there was the last Bloodborne clan that had already gone extinct.

That was the clan that once ruled over all Bloodbornes, also known as the Royal Clan, or the Royal Bloodborne Clan—the Kirali.

Because the Royal Clan had long disappeared, not even Charlotte could find out what was special about the Kirali clan.

But now, Charlotte's bloodline had become Kirali, and her strength far exceeded that of ordinary Starry Sky individuals. This made her guess—

Perhaps her current strength, far surpassing those of the same tier, was due to the enhancement of the Bloodborne Royalty bloodline?

Royalty...

This bloodline might also be related to the Bloodborne True Ancestors?

Charlotte pondered.

At the same time, Charlotte remembered a detail when she advanced. At that time, when she advanced to the Starry Sky, the Gospel of Blood had once erupted with a mysterious force that surged into her body.

Under the influence of that mysterious force, Charlotte's physical body in reality also underwent a transformation, and only then did she advance to the Starry Sky.

And after awakening "True Ancestor's Liberation," Charlotte knew what that mysterious force was.

It was divine power.

More accurately, it was the divine power of blood.

The source of the divine power of blood still originated from the Gospel of Blood.

However, it was not simply from the Gospel of Blood anymore, but rather some kind of wonderful chemical reaction produced by the fusion of Charlotte's soul with the Blood Codex.

Charlotte then focused her attention on "True Ancestor's Liberation."

Information about True Ancestor's Liberation once again surfaced in Charlotte's mind—

【True Ancestor Liberation (Activatable)】

【As a descendant of Bloodborne royalty, the master of the gospel will possess the ability of True Ancestor's Liberation, capable of consuming divine power to temporarily gain the power of the True Ancestor.】

【The strength and duration of True Ancestor's Liberation are limited by divine power. The current highest output level is Saint, with a maximum duration of one minute.】

【After the liberation ends, the ability needs to cool down, and can only be activated again once divine power has recovered.】

"Only Bloodborne royalty descendants can awaken the ability of True Ancestor's Liberation... So, when I advanced at that time, I should have triggered some mechanism of the Gospel of Blood, and the surging divine power transformed my bloodline."

"And after having the Royal Bloodline, I unlocked True Ancestor's Liberation..."

Charlotte quickly sorted out the relationship between them.

And with it came another bizarre thought.

Only Bloodborne royalty could master "True Ancestor's Liberation."

In that case, the Gospel of Blood seemed to have been tailored for Bloodborne Royalty descendants.

"Gee... Could it be that the extinction of the Bloodborne Royalty was not caused by the other five major clans working together?"

Charlotte's expression was somewhat strange.

Of course, she hadn't entered the Bloodborne society now, and the Bloodborne internal affairs had nothing to do with her. But she had a faint feeling.

After she steps into the Bloodborne society in the future, her bloodline might become a big surprise, or... big trouble.

As for now, the Bloodborne society in Borde was only the group of lunatics from the Blood Demon Cult, and Charlotte had no intention of mingling with them at all.

Not only that, but she also wanted to get rid of them.

Putting aside her scattered thoughts, Charlotte continued to study "True Ancestor's Liberation."

She carefully communicated her consciousness with the divine power hidden deep in her body around the Gospel, and the feeling of the leap in perspective she had when she advanced came again.

However, this time, Charlotte was prepared. She did not activate "True Ancestor's Liberation" but repeatedly probed its edge, sensing the specific information about this ability.

With Charlotte's perception, a crimson light radiated from her body, its brilliance flickering intermittently, exuding an ancient and profound aura.

After a moment, Charlotte opened her eyes again.

In the repeated probing, a vast amount of information poured into her mind, and she finally gained a further understanding of the power of "True Ancestor's Liberation."

"True Ancestor's Liberation can allow me to temporarily possess the power of a Saint. Saints are the form taken by the Gods when they descend to earth."

"Currently, the power of a Saint is almost equivalent to that of a Demi-God, but it cannot reach the level of a Demi-God because the world of Myria is currently in a period of low magic and cannot withstand Demi-God-level power."

"The current highest output level is Saint. Under the highest output level, divine power will be rapidly consumed, and the time to maintain the True Ancestor's Liberation state may be further shortened..."

"If the power of the Saint is completely erupted, it may not be able to last for 58.5 seconds, or even only last for a few seconds..."

"The power of 'True Ancestor's Liberation' must be used cautiously!"

"The Gospel of Blood is an artifact. Inside the cover, there used to be a lot of divine power of blood, but most of it is sealed and must be continuously unlocked through completing the Gospel or the owner advancing in tiers..."

"Other than that, if the divine power is depleted, it can only be replenished through other means."

"There are two ways to replenish it."

"One is to absorb the power of other Gods, similar to absorbing the holy light of God from God Harald when countering divine ritual. This is an 'upgraded version' of the Bloodbornes' 'bloodsucking' power."

"And the other is to use belief conversion..."

"Belief conversion? Belief can also be converted into energy? Does it mean... faith?" Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.

"Wow, does this mean I have to go preach?"

Charlotte instantly rejected the option of preaching.

She was currently deep inside the Crescent Kingdom, within the territory of the largest religion, the Holy Court. Preaching here would be like inviting death upon herself...

Not to mention, she was not a God. She couldn't respond to believers and couldn't bestow divine ritual.

Even if she preached secretly, she would have to wait until she returned to her own territory to figure out how to do it!

Castell's territory was far from the reach of the Holy Court's faith, and it was perfect for causing trouble.

"So... if I want to gain divine power now, other than advancing or completing the Gospel of Blood, I have to leech other religions!"

Charlotte quickly turned her attention to the Holy Court.

Of course, she currently didn't lack divine power for the next 58.5 seconds... but it was better to be prepared.

Understanding the power of "True Ancestor's Liberation," Charlotte became more excited.

Undoubtedly, this would be her biggest trump card!

Suppressing the joy in her heart, Charlotte focused her attention on the newly acquired cursed page.

In the ocean of consciousness, the Gospel of Blood opened again and soon flipped to the back of the Dark Chapter, where the extra page appeared.

Golden characters slowly appeared on the Gospel, and new information about the Gospel emerged in Charlotte's mind—

【Gospel of Blood · Dark Chapter】

【In the darkness we wander,】

【Darkness embodies us, we are its essence】

【Commanding the power of blood, our spirits find their origin;】

【Under the veil of night, shadows become our armor;】

【Unveiling the mysteries of life and death, death becomes our limbs.】

【Dark Chapter · Necromancy (Unlocked)】

【Discovered Magic: Undead Resurrection】

【Undead Resurrection: Fundamental necromancy magic within the Dark Path bloodline, capable of awakening the resurrected undead; the duration and quantity are inversely proportional to the magical energy expended and the strength of the undead.】

【Would you like to inherit it?】

Undead Resurrection?

Charlotte was slightly stunned.

She recognized it. This cursed page... was actually the one that was taken away by the Demon Hunter Knights from the crazy old lady!
