Tome of Blood

Chapter 645-144- The Fall of the Gods
Following a mysterious inspiration, Charlotte walked past the sun believers around her and slowly entered the temple.

No sun believer noticed her. Even the priests standing guard at the temple gate, whose aura was as strong as that of the blazing sun, were unaware of her presence.

She walked in with swagger as if she had returned to her own back garden.

Unlike outside the temple, there are no sun believers staying inside the temple.

This seems to be the "forbidden area" of the Temple of the Sun, with a huge circular altar.

Of course, rather than calling it a temple of the sun, it is more like an ancient elven relic.

The marble columns covered with moss and vines, the broken crystal dome, and the ancient statue with a broken head all tell of the vicissitudes of this temple.

Charlotte could even sense the magical restrictions still in effect in the temple.

That should be a magical restriction left behind by the elves in ancient times, and it is very likely that it can be traced back to the heyday of elven civilization.

Although it has long been in ruins, it still retains powerful magic, and its power has at least reached a quasi-legendary level - this is probably the reason why this temple has not been repaired to this day. While the magical restrictions protect the ruins, they also prevent external interference. Only wild vines and mosses grow rampantly within the restrictions.

As for who this temple belongs to...just look at the holy emblem on the marble column.

It was a holy emblem that Charlotte had never seen in real life. It was slightly similar to the ringed cross holy emblem of the Holy Court. It was also a "cross holy emblem", but it incorporated the elemental symbols of the sun and the moon.

Charlotte had seen this kind of holy emblem in the books of the elves.

"It is the holy emblem of the God of Creation worshipped by the elves."

Summer season.

God of creation!

Regarding the title of the God of Creation, there is no relevant record in the official scriptures of the various churches on the continent of Miriam. There are only some legends that seem true or false and cannot stand up to scrutiny.

No, it should be said that He has no name at all. The God of Creation refers to Him, and He is the God of Creation.

Of course, for many races on the continent of Miriam, due to the existence of the Holy Royal Court, they often equate the God of Creation with "Lord Harald, the God of Creation."

But Charlotte, who had traveled through history, knew that this was not the case at all.

The Creator God is the Creator God, and Harald is Harald.

However, when Charlotte's eyes moved to the huge and complex altar in the center of the temple, her expression changed again.

It was an altar in typical sacred royal court style, with intricate inscriptions carved on it and the holy emblem of Helios, the sun god, carved on it.

This is exactly the altar where the elf believers summoned the God of Creation that Charlotte saw in the "prophecy fragment".

Of course, what made Charlotte change color was not that she finally saw the altar in the prophecy, but the things enshrined on the altar.

There were hundreds of transparent crystals of various sizes.

Those crystals were like balls of light, flashing with glowing radiance of different colors, transforming into illusory symbols of various imagery, emitting a faint aura of divine power that made people dizzy at the sight of it.

Even though it was sealed by the golden chains on the altar, the energy intensity it exuded was so intense that even Charlotte, who had become a true god, could feel the trembling of his soul and divine fire.

Those divine powers… came from different sources, some were complex, some were mellow, some were strong, some were gentle, some were hot, and some were cold… But at this moment, these divine powers with different origins were connected together by the altar.

Stimulated by these divine powers, the brilliance of the Holy Book of Blood in the depths of Charlotte's consciousness became more and more dazzling.

The mysterious call that Charlotte felt came from this altar, or more precisely... from the large and small crystals on this altar.

Of course, compared to "crystals", they have a more formal name -

"godhead……"

Feeling the looming fluctuations of divine power, Charlotte murmured in disbelief.

godhead!

The hundreds of crystals enshrined on this altar are actually the forbidden godhead!
As for who these godheads belong to...when Charlotte saw clearly those various illusory symbols, she already had the answer in her heart.

Those symbols are the holy emblems of the Miria gods. Many people on the Miria continent are familiar with these holy emblems, and the holy believers can recite their true names one by one.

The harp emblem symbolizing the goddess of beauty Aphrodite...

The scale emblem symbolizing the god of judgment, Galimo...

The seal of the book symbolizing Mithra, the god of secrets...

Symbolizes...

These holy emblems... every single one of them is registered in the Holy Book, and they belong to the holy emblems of the gods of the Holy Royal Court!

The dense glow of divine power swirled above these godheads, but Charlotte did not feel the fluctuations of divine soul power, nor did she feel the burning of divine fire.

Obviously, the owners of these holy emblems, the gods belonging to the Holy Royal Court, have long since fallen.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many deities to be imprisoned by just one altar.

"I see... Are you planning to sacrifice the divinity of the gods to awaken the will of the God of Creation..."

Charlotte felt that she had vaguely grasped the key to the Sun Temple plan.

But this brings up another terrifying thing.

The fall of the gods in the Holy Royal Court was probably due to the "Creation God" who had taken control and swallowed up their godheads. But if these godheads were still there, then... who was the one who killed the gods and took away their godheads?
How did the Temple of the Sun, or the sun god Helios, obtain these divine titles?
Everything she saw confirmed the various secrets Charlotte knew, and combined with some bold guesses she had vaguely made before, it gradually pointed to a guess that was both absurd and somewhat reasonable.

But Charlotte didn't jump to conclusions.

There was a faint light flashing in her pupils, and she had already made up her mind.

She took a deep breath, and then suddenly burst out with divine power, grabbing towards the divine powers on the altar.

A blood moon slowly rose, and its crimson light spread to the earth, instantly covering the entire broken continent.

And Charlotte's divine power quickly enveloped the entire altar.

The light on the altar began to flicker, and the deity being enshrined flew towards Charlotte on its own.

However, just as Charlotte was about to seize dual control of the altar and the godhead, the sun... came out.

The golden sun slowly rises into the sky, illuminating the world with its brilliant light.

The crimson light was quickly forced back, and high in the sky, the sun and the moon shone together, competing against each other in the sky.

While in the temple, Charlotte was also blocked by a golden light.

The void shattered, and a golden spear suddenly stabbed out, bursting out with an incomparably dazzling light, and stabbed towards Charlotte's chest when she was restrained by the altar!

The timing was so perfect.

Just when Charlotte was trying her best to seize the godhead, the sun and the spear appeared almost at the same time. At that moment, the Blood God's Domain was instantly suppressed by the sun's light, and Charlotte's power was mostly restricted by the altar and the godhead. The spear was almost unobstructed!
The target...is directly aimed at the divine nature and divine fire in Charlotte’s chest!

But Charlotte moved almost at the same time.

The scarlet divine power that enveloped the altar shattered in an instant, and the shadow of a delicate and small shrine vaguely emerged. Charlotte herself looked in the direction of the spear as if she had foreseen it.

It's the Shrine of Mirek.

The illusion created by the shrine dissipated, revealing the reality behind it. The girl in front of the altar was not using her full strength at all. Only the light of the sacred artifact Moon Dream Heart enveloped the altar.

Charlotte...actually did not seize the godhood from the beginning to the end, but merely used the Heart of Moon Dream to seal the altar, and used the Shrine of Mirek to create the illusion of her own actions, giving the illusion that she was trying her best to seize the godhood!

The illusion dissipates, the false image is broken, and everything returns to reality.

The girl in front of the altar was seen holding the golden Roman sword, with her blood power ready to go. It turned out that she was well prepared for the sudden attack.

"caught you."

A crimson light burst out, instantly covering the spear. Roman's sword connected with the golden spear, and a terrifying force erupted.

The ancient temple was shattered in an instant, and the remaining legendary restrictions evaporated like paper. The sun believers standing guard outside the temple were instantly reduced to ashes. Only the altar in the center remained intact under the protection of divine power.

The crimson divine power surrounded the sword, transforming into a red sword light, and the sword slashed on the spear.

The spear paused slightly, and the owner behind it uttered a muffled sound and quickly retreated.

The light of divine power dissipated, revealing each other's figures.

Charlotte held the Roman Sword in her hand and looked at the figure who attacked her with a complicated expression.

A platinum-colored robe, a golden sun mask, and in his hand he holds the sun artifact, the Sun Sword.

That was the sun god Helios who had been "killed" by her.

The light of the Moon Dream Heart spread, covering Helios and completely sealing off this world.

Looking at the pair of light golden eyes behind the golden mask, Charlotte was silent for a moment before speaking:

"Should I call you Helios, the God of the Sun, or Harald, the God of Creation?"

Tiny cracks spread across the golden mask, the result of Charlotte's sword strike.

With a slight sound, the mask was completely shattered, and the face of the sun god Helios appeared in front of Charlotte.

Long golden hair.

Golden eyes.

The handsome and majestic face is exactly the same as the main statue enshrined in the Holy Royal Court.

That familiar yet unfamiliar face gradually overlapped with a figure in Charlotte's memory. Even the real soul fluctuations emanating after the mask was removed were exactly the same as the soul fluctuations in Charlotte's memory.

But the admiration and intimacy in those golden eyes had long disappeared, replaced by coldness and resentment.

He... is Harald.
