Tome of Blood

Chapter 648-147- It's too late

The memory of "Helios" is a little vague, as if there is some mysterious force covering something, as if covered by a layer of fog, making it hazy and unclear.

But Charlotte could still roughly deduce what happened in that era from the changes in light and shadow and the vague images.

The golden sun slowly rises, and wherever its light reaches, all things wither and all life is gone.

A brutal war of gods broke out, and the sun god "Helios" fought against many enemies alone, defeating and devouring many besieging myths one by one, until... the last silver god.

Silver, that is the power of the moon.

Moon goddess - Artemis.

Charlotte saw Helios raise the sword, and saw Artemis kneeling on the ground, looking up at the sky, and seemed to say something.

The sword fell and pierced Artemis' chest, but Artemis turned around and embraced "Helios"...

Silver light burst out, and the two gods fell into endless darkness. Then, a bright silver moon rose and gradually turned blood-red. The high-hanging blood moon looked down at the earth like a cold eye, and a red beam of light descended from the sky!

Boom——!
The sun god "Helios" was hit directly.

The horrific aftermath spread out in all directions, and everything around was instantly reduced to dust.

The land was shattered, the sea water poured back, and the entire Western Continent was directly destroyed by this blow from the sky!
……

"Blood Moon..."

Charlotte's eyes narrowed slightly as she watched the scene flash by in the blurry picture.

Although it was just a blurry picture, she felt as if she felt a familiar power from the familiar blood moon.

"Is it Lilith in real history... or is it..."

Charlotte was confused and fell into deep thought.

As we went deeper, the images on both sides of the stairs became increasingly blurry.

Of course, the years are getting older.

Charlotte could vaguely make out that it should be Helios' memory during the heyday of elven civilization.

She saw the prosperity of elven civilization and the rise of elven gods.

And finally, the memory fragments on both sides of the stairs stopped in front of an ancient picture.

It was an ancient altar, painted with symbols representing the "God of Creation" in elven culture.

The devout elves prayed towards the altar, and a golden light shone from the altar. Finally... the light fell on the young elf brother and sister at the end of the crowd...

……

The memory of "Helios" ends here.

And Charlotte reached the end of the stairs.

What appeared before her was a majestic and solemn temple.

She was not unfamiliar with that temple. It was the sleeping place of the gods of the Holy Royal Court, the "Eternal Temple" that Charlotte had visited before.

The door of the temple slowly opened, Charlotte put away her chaotic thoughts and stepped in.

The temple is magnificent and golden.

In the majestic and sacred hall, the thrones are arranged in a fan shape like a conference room.

Gods in different costumes sat on it, and their robes were painted with various holy emblems and patterns. They were all the subordinate gods in the history of the Holy Royal Court.

But Charlotte paused slightly.

There is no other reason. Although these "gods" have different costumes and represent different laws, their faces... are the same face.

The face of Helios.

They didn't seem to notice Charlotte's arrival. No...it should be said that they were not independent individuals at all.

They...had already been assimilated by "Helios".

The gazes of all the assimilated gods were focused in the same direction, which was the center of the temple. The highest point in the front represented the throne of the "Lord God".

There, the God of Creation "Harald", wearing the robe of the main god, was sitting quietly.

However, there is another figure behind the throne.

It was a beautiful silver figure, standing behind the throne, with his eyes closed, his back slightly bent, and his white arms gently embracing "Harald"'s neck.

That is...Artemis, the moon goddess.

"Harald? And...Artemis?"

Summer is beautiful.

Hearing Charlotte's voice, "Harald" on the throne slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of golden eyes.

Those were a pair of indifferent, cold golden eyes.

But when His eyes met Charlotte's, they soon became tinged with a touch of humanity, and revealed a bit of complexity:

"teacher……"

Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.

What she was most worried about was that Harald's self would be completely taken over by "Helios", but fortunately, Harald still had his own self.

However, He did look different from what Charlotte remembered.

Combining everything she saw after entering the soul space, Charlotte was able to roughly determine the reason - he... had recovered the memory of "Helios".

Honestly, after reading those memories of "Helios", Charlotte had a lot of questions that needed to be answered.

But she knew that now was not the right time, and Harald might not be able to answer the doubts in her heart.

As for now, the most important thing is to let Harald regain control of his body from "Helios".

As for Artemis behind Harald...

Charlotte could tell at a glance that it was just a body without a soul.

He...had fallen long ago.

Charlotte felt a little sad.

Strictly speaking, she and Artemis were not particularly familiar with each other. Although they met each other when they traveled through history, she always felt that the other party was avoiding her.

Charlotte even always felt that Artemis must have some big secret.

But no matter what, He can be considered Charlotte's friend from another era.

Although the Moon God in the memory was powerful, he was not arrogant. Even towards Charlotte, the demigod at that time, he was always polite and respectful.

But now, He, like the Sea King Oceanus, has fallen into eternal sleep.

Taking a deep breath, Charlotte suppressed the sadness in her heart.

She looked at Harald and said:

"Harald, now that you are awake, come with me and take back control of your godhead."

But Harald did not act.

"Harald?"

Charlotte repeated doubtfully.

Harald let out a light breath, his expression somewhat complicated:
"Eternal Night... Teacher, it's already... too late."

Charlotte was slightly startled.

As if she had thought of something, her expression changed slightly and she quickly looked at Harald.

The red-gold eyes shone with light, and illusory chains were looming on Harald's body. Those chains extended from the many "assimilated" gods, wrapped around Harald's body, and fixed him firmly on the throne.

The platinum-colored holy power surrounded the chains, and beneath that holy power, there were streams of pale mist spreading. Most of it was blocked by the silver light surrounding Harald, but there was still a part that had successfully connected with Harald.

This is... the original power!

Summer solstice.

She realized almost instantly what had happened to Harald.

Harald had long been eroded by the original power, and was suppressed here by "Helios" using other mythological figures!

As for Artemis... judging from the remaining power of this moon goddess, He probably chose the latter between the crazy "Helios" and the rational reincarnation of Helios "Harald".

He, in the end, stood with Harald and took on the role of protector.

And now, He sacrificed His own spiritual power, and used the divine power of the moon, which also possessed the original aura, to isolate the original erosion and Helios' suppression outside!

But even the Moon God cannot isolate everything.

He has already fallen, and even if he sacrificed his remaining power, it would only allow Harald to remain conscious.

In other words, there are only two options waiting for Harald now.

One is to be completely devoured by the original power, and the will of creation is completely revived in Him.

The other one is that "Helios" completely takes control of the soul, and then Helios embraces the origin and ascends to the so-called "Supreme".

Both of these roads lead to dead ends.

Harald could not resist the primordial will, and neither could Helios.

Whether the will of creation is directly revived or the mad Helios ascends to the "Supreme", the final outcome... is actually the return of the Lord of Creation.

This is how Harald persisted and procrastinated.

Until... until Charlotte arrives.

Looking at Harald's calm expression and feeling the original power constantly accumulating in His body, Charlotte looked a little dazed.

She had a bad feeling in her heart.

She had a feeling...

This doesn't seem to be the first time I've encountered a similar scene.

Although Harald hadn't spoken yet, Charlotte had a feeling that she... seemed to know what he was going to say and do.

And she instinctively resisted such a development.

It was a development that seemed like fate, as if someone was deliberately pushing it forward, leaving her no choice.

"Eternal Night...Teacher."

Harald spoke up.

"No, it's not time to give up yet. Cheer up!"

Charlotte interrupted Him.

After she finished speaking, she burst out with crimson blood power, and at the same time mobilized the primordial power that she had already mastered, transforming it into sharp swords, which slashed at the chains that were trying to erode Harald.

But she didn't succeed.

The chains were easily cut, but they would reconnect the moment the divine power dissipated.

Unless Charlotte continues to maintain the input of divine power, but that would only be a temporary solution. The original power is constantly converging towards Harald, and in the end, not only will it be unable to stop everything, but even Charlotte herself may be pulled in.

"Teacher Yongye, stop. This is my destiny, our destiny, and also... the destiny of history and the world."

It's the way to go.

Charlotte had a complicated look on her face.

And Harald finally uttered those nightmare-like words:
"Your Majesty, please...devour my power."
