Gospel of Blood-Chapter 549 : Origin Power

There is a holy power within Harald’s extraordinary bloodline.

Charlotte discovered this during her second time travel.

Of course, at that time, Harald’s “holy power” was still very weak, so weak that even Charlotte only felt that its aura was similar to that of a priest from the Holy Court.

But now it was completely different.

After Charlotte delved into sensing Harald’s condition, she felt that the divine power within him was as vast as a great lake. The immense power even made Charlotte suspect that she was examining the body of a Bishop from the Holy Court.

At the same time, the Gospel of Blood within her consciousness resonated intensely, its rhythm no less powerful than when Charlotte discovered “Lilith’s” consciousness in Rowena.

Charlotte could clearly sense the “desire” of the Gospel of Blood, just like when it faced that peculiar grayish-white mist.

Combining the information about the “Origin” from “Lilith”, Charlotte had a further hypothesis about the “holy power” within Harald.

Clearly… Harald’s power is also related to the “Origin.”

No, more accurately, this “divine power” that spread across the continent in later generations is similar to the blood divine power that Charlotte possesses, both derivatives of the Origin power.

“The religious texts of the Holy Court often exalt the power of the Creator God as the source of all divine power. Although this might be the church glorifying their God, one thing is indeed noteworthy: since the ‘return’ of the Creator God, no God has been able to rival Him…”

“When I read the texts, I didn’t pay much attention to this detail, thinking it was merely due to the Creator God’s immense power. But now, reconsidering, could it be that the ‘holy power’ and ‘blood divine power’ are similar, both derivatives of the Origin power, and thus have an almost genetic suppression over other divine powers?”

As she sensed the aura of “divine power” within Harald, Charlotte had this thought.

Once this thought emerged, it was impossible to suppress.

In Charlotte’s perception, she found more and more similarities between the “holy power” within Harald and the “blood divine power.”

Although the former is not divine power, it has some similar qualities to the blood divine power, such as the ability to “convert” into extraordinary power and the ability to absorb other extraordinary powers.

However, for blood divine power, this absorption is “devouring”, whereas for holy power, it is “purification.”

At the same time, the external manifestation of the blood divine power is “darkness”, while the holy power manifests as “light.”

From a certain perspective, they felt like two sides of the same energy to Charlotte.

However, the holy power within Harald at this moment had subtle differences from the holy power of the Holy Court known to Charlotte in later generations.

The most noticeable difference was that Charlotte didn’t feel any pain when touching Harald’s “holy power.”

Harald’s “holy power”… did not have the same purification-like threat to the bloodborne’s power as the divine power in later generations.

This was not because Charlotte was the Bloodborne Progenitor. It was because the “holy power” at this moment did not inherently have the same near-purification threat to the bloodborne’s power.

Moreover, when Charlotte’s blood divine power encountered the “holy power” within Harald, she was astonished to find that they began to attract each other and gradually merge.

Then, an even more surprising scene unfolded.

She was shocked to “see” that at the point where the diluted blood divine power and holy power intertwined, a strange, pale mist began to spread…

Or more accurately, the fusion of the diluted blood divine power and holy power transformed into that white mist!

But unlike the white mist spreading behind the stone door, this fusion-created white mist seemed purer and more righteous.

Charlotte did not feel the same deadly seductive “threat” from this mist as she did from the mist behind the stone door.

On the contrary, the Gospel of Blood within her body trembled uncontrollably, and even without consciously sensing it, she could feel the Gospel’s “hunger” for this pure white mist.

Clearly, this white mist… was likely the origin power.

However, the levels of blood divine power and holy power were vastly different.

Although the blood divine power had been diluted by Charlotte, divine power was still divine power.

In Charlotte’s perception, the holy power within Harald was almost instantly “absorbed” by her blood divine power, transforming into several wisps of white mist-like “origin power.”

Charlotte immediately reacted and quickly interrupted this strange “fusion”, retracting her blood divine power.

But even so, she sensed that the vast holy power within Harald had been drained by more than half in an instant. If she had been any slower, he might have been completely “drained.”

Looking at Harald’s face, she saw that he had turned quite pale, appearing severely depleted.

Charlotte felt a bit embarrassed.

She hadn’t expected this to happen.

However, Harald showed no reaction to his power being “absorbed.”

He still obediently kept his eyes closed, waiting for Charlotte to “finish the examination.”

Clearly, this student trusted her more than Charlotte had imagined.

Fortunately, although she had almost “drained” Harald’s holy power, Charlotte took the opportunity to complete the examination of his body with divine power.

There was no “pollution” within Harald, and his soul was also very clean, without any signs of control or influence.

Harald… had no problems.

At least, with Charlotte’s current abilities, she could not detect any issues.

This made Charlotte even more puzzled.

If Harald had no problems, why would Lilith not remember him?

It was known that Harald had not perished. Even in later generations, he still existed.

So… if the problem wasn’t with “Harald”, then it was likely with “Lilith.”

Besides, Charlotte also had a hypothesis that while the current Harald had no issues, it didn’t mean that the later “Harald” would be problem-free.

Perhaps… these memory disruptions were also related to history distortions.

Thinking of this, Charlotte sighed inwardly and ended the “body examination.”

Harald timely opened his eyes, his expression showing fatigue.

Charlotte felt a bit guilty. She had indeed “drained” him too much.

Clearing her throat, she said,

“Well, your body has no problems, but… you are quite drained. Can you manage?”

“Yes, it’s no problem. I just need a couple of days to rest.”

Harald said.

It seemed this wasn’t his first time “exhausting” his holy power, as he appeared calm, without any worry.

Charlotte had a sudden thought and asked.

“I remember you mentioned before that your current power was gained by making a contract with some being in the elven magic laboratory, right?”

“Yes, teacher. My sister and I obtained our powers by making a contract with a mysterious will. We suspected it might be an ancient God.”

Harald said solemnly.

Charlotte nodded slightly.

She had heard him mention this before and had initially thought that perhaps Lilith and Harald had inherited the power of some God.

After all… during the Mythic Era, such protagonist-like dragon characters were almost everywhere. But now, it seemed it wasn’t that simple.

She now had a guess that perhaps the entity Lilith and Harald made a contract with was the will of the “Origin.”

The bloodborne’s power and the Holy Court’s power are both legacies of the origin power.

If not for her existence, Lilith, who inherited the blood divine power, would eventually become the Bloodborne Progenitor.

And Harald would ascend to Godhood with the holy power, becoming the “Creator God.”

Of course, this was likely the earliest and most original history.

After Lilith reversed history countless times and after Charlotte’s traversal, the history of Myria had already been messed up.

Fortunately, after this body examination, Charlotte could at least rule out the possibility of Harald having any remnants of the entity behind the door.

Lilith’s forgetting of Harald should not be a conspiracy of the entity behind the door but for some other reason.

Although Charlotte couldn’t draw further conclusions yet, this was enough for now.

Her next step was to proceed with her original plan, quickly launch a war, and use the opportunity of this era to “devour” the Old Gods’ power and rapidly strengthen herself.

The Gospel of Blood is the supreme artifact of the bloodborne, and theoretically, it should have no problem aiding Charlotte in becoming the True Ancestor of Blood. What she lacked was probably “energy.”

She had limited time and must seize as much divine power as possible to strive to become a true God soon.

Only then could she contend with the entity behind the door.

Of course, if she could take this opportunity to catch the entity behind the door off guard, take advantage of history gaps to suppress their forces, and obtain some of their information, it would be even better.

As for the few strands of “origin power” formed by the fusion of blood divine power and holy power, Charlotte thought for a moment and ultimately decided not to devour them.

Based on the resonance of the Gospel of Blood, she knew this was a great supplement for the Gospel, but she had a faint feeling that if she directly fed it to the Gospel, it might be a waste.

Charlotte had a premonition that keeping these few strands of “origin power” might have other uses in the future.

Thinking this, Charlotte pondered and said,

“Alright, then take the next few days to rest. The army also needs a few days to reorganize. Once the main force arrives, we will launch an attack on the Old God Alliance.”
