Gospel of Blood-Chapter 561 : Descent of the True God

The power of the deep sea erupted, shattering the divine lock that had imprisoned Charlotte in an instant.

High above, an ancient, vast, violent, and profound aura burst forth.

The sea-blue radiance suppressed all lights except for the crimson.

“T… true God?”

The Old Gods exclaimed upon seeing the sea-blue power.

Immediately after, a towering God with octopus tentacles for hair and beard, wielding a divine trident, appeared beside Charlotte.

“The Lord of the North Sea… Oceanus!”

The God of the Sky Bartos’ expression turned solemn.

Oceanus’ gaze swept over the Old Gods with disdain. He sneered and said,

“I’ve always wondered what this so-called Old God’s Alliance was. Turns out it’s a creation of you lot.”

“Bartos, Bolst, Windes… What, have you all, who once served Uranus, betrayed your original intent and found a new master?”

Oceanus’ voice was mocking, and Charlotte’s heart stirred upon hearing his words.

She knew that the Old Gods of the Northern Frontier weren’t all the “Old Gods.”

Moreover, the current Old Gods of the Northern Frontier were almost all Demigods, and beyond them, there were true Gods from the mid to late Mythic Era who would gradually awaken from their slumber.

These true Gods were the real leaders of the “Old Gods” of Myria, who once contended with the elves of the Western Continent.

However, according to Charlotte’s knowledge, there were no records of these true Gods’ names in later documents, only speculations by some historians.

The only possibility for this situation was that these true Gods had all fallen, and their very existence had been erased.

After traveling to this era, Charlotte had sought information about the Old Gods of Myria from Oceanus.

And Uranus… was indeed a God Oceanus had mentioned.

He was the leader of Myria’s Gods during the struggle between the two continents, a true God known as the Sky Lord and King of the Gods.

He was also one of the first Gods born in Myria after the fall of the Creator God.

With this in mind, Charlotte looked at the many Old Gods before her again.

The alliance of Old Gods was formed to deal with the Free City-State Alliance and the elves “invading” Myria.

However, during her three and a half years of battle with them, Charlotte noticed that many Old Gods had been trying to awaken even more ancient Gods.

Clearly, the Sky Lord Uranus was one of them, and the Old Gods named by Oceanus had once been his followers.

Various thoughts raced through Charlotte’s mind as she looked again at the manifesting Oceanus.

The “God of the Sea” was surrounded by violent divine power, the deep blue power so turbulent and terrifying that even Charlotte, as an ally, could feel its restlessness.

This was the first time Charlotte felt such a tsunami-like fury from him.

Though Oceanus had always seemed like a temperamental deity to her, he was also one she remembered as passionate and exuberant.

It was the first time she saw him so indifferent, looking down on the present Old Gods.

“I heard you call yourself the God of the Sky. Ha, times have changed indeed if any Tom, Dick, or Harry can claim such a title. Let me see if you can bear such a name!”

With a cold laugh, Oceanus’ divine power surged.

The sea-blue divine power exploded, reversing the heavens, with lightning and thunder.

The vast divine power surged toward the Old Gods like a tidal wave, turning the sky into a vast sea.

The Old Gods’ expressions changed immediately. They were either fearful or terrified, and some weaker ones even had the impulse to flee.

Only Bartos and a few others roared angrily.

“Don’t panic! Join forces against him! His aura is unstable, he hasn’t fully recovered from his slumber!”

With these words, brilliant light burst forth among the Old Gods, even more dazzling than when they fought Charlotte.

At that moment, the Old Gods began to burn their divine power, unleashing their full strength.

Twelve Demigods simultaneously erupted with divine power, their lights intertwining and clashing with the oceanic power surging like a tsunami.

A primitive clash of divine powers ensued.

At the level of mythology, fancy spells had limited effectiveness.

When facing a “true God” with a condensed divine core, Demigods could only confront them with divine power.

The collision of divine powers caused the sky to tremble, the swirling clouds to be shredded instantly, and a vast vacuum of emptiness to appear in the sky.

Charlotte keenly noticed that as the divine powers tore through the high sky, the familiar stars in the firmament seemed to change, replaced by an unfamiliar constellation.

However, this scene was fleeting. Soon, the stars she knew in Myria replaced the unfamiliar ones.

Charlotte’s heart stirred, recalling some secrets she had heard from Albrecht.

The starry sky of Myria had two constellations: one that had always existed, and another that was the projection of the Gods’ divine realm.

Apparently, Oceanus’ powerful divine power had just torn through the starry sky’s projection, revealing the real sky beneath the Gods’ divine realm.

“Eternal Night! What are you waiting for? Join the fight!”

As Charlotte gazed at the sky, Oceanus’ urgent and frustrated voice echoed in her mind.

Charlotte gave him a strange look.

“You need my help to deal with a few Demigods?”

“Bullshit! How long have I been awake? My power hasn’t fully recovered! Besides, this is the material realm, not the boundless void. I can’t fully unleash my strength here! If you don’t help, how can we force the other one to make a move?!”

Oceanus roared.

This brief exchange happened in an instant, a conversation carried by their divine powers.

Simultaneously, the clash between Oceanus and the Old Gods reached a conclusion: the twelve Demigods were fully suppressed by his erupting power.

However… it was only suppression.

Just as later myths could only display power close to Demigods on Myria, even though the magical density was high in the early Mythic Era, the destruction of the Western Continent, which disrupted the balance of the world’s extraordinary forces, meant Gods couldn’t fully unleash true God-level power.

Mythological figures could only fully unleash true God-level power during the brief period of divine resurgence in the late Mythic Era and during the ancient times of continental strife.

Charlotte deduced this from various records.

Witnessing the disparity between true Gods and Demigods, Charlotte decided to join the fight.

She mobilized her divine power again, her aura rising.

The crimson divine power burst forth, soon matching the sea-blue divine power.

The moment Charlotte joined, the tide of divine power raised by the Old Gods collapsed instantly.

The blood moon reappeared, and beneath it, the tidal waves surged like a tsunami.

The manifestations of the blood and sea divine powers quickly covered the sky, swallowing the twelve Demigods!

In the high sky, the Old Gods’ auras withered under the dual assault of blood and sea divine power.

The blood and sea divine powers shattered their protective divine powers, tearing their divine bodies apart.

Under the violent divine powers, cracks appeared on their bodies, and fear reappeared on their faces.

The Sky God Bartos’ expression changed dramatically. He gritted his teeth and shouted in a certain direction.

“Honorable One, if you don’t intervene now, we will abandon our contract with you!”

As his voice fell, a distant sigh echoed from the mountains.

Golden radiance tore through the darkness, and another divine power slowly rose in the Dragonspine Mountains.

No… it wasn’t ordinary divine power but a golden “sun.”

The dazzling light illuminated the darkness as the “sun” slowly rose, dispelling the surging waves and overshadowing the high-hanging blood moon.

Charlotte felt her blood divine power retreat, driven back into her body by a mysterious force.

Oceanus’ eyes widened.

“This is… sun divine power?!”

The sun’s light continued to spread.

As if determined to illuminate all darkness, the entire Dragonspine Mountains soon became as bright as day.

Meanwhile, Charlotte felt like she was exposed to flames, experiencing the rare burning sensation akin to an ordinary bloodborne walking in sunlight.

An aura no weaker than Oceanus’, perhaps even stronger, rose and locked onto Charlotte and Oceanus in the high sky.

Charlotte felt the illusory Gospel of Blood in her consciousness begin to stir frantically, as if sensing a familiar power.

The next moment, the blazing sunlight erupted, and the damaged divine ritual circle below the Old Gods reactivated.

Golden light filled the gaps in the ritual circle, and golden chains appeared, rushing toward Charlotte and Oceanus.

But just as the golden chains were about to ensnare them, silver light exploded in the high sky.

Divine power spread like water, with green leaves unfurling and flowers blooming, shattering the reformed divine chains again.

The sun’s light dimmed instantly, and the world returned to darkness. However, in the darkness, a bright silver moon illuminated the world.

Soft light gathered around Charlotte, forming a tall, beautiful figure.

A celestial sigh, tinged with complexity, echoed.

“Brother… long time no see.”
