Gospel of Blood-Chapter 600 : The Secret of the Bloodbornes
Chapter 600 : The Secret of the Bloodbornes
The truth revealed by the Guardian Scepter left Charlotte in shock.
Although she had a vague premonition, when it admitted that the time and space she was in now was not her first “round,” she still felt a bit flustered and confused.
Of course, Charlotte quickly regained her composure.
She started to think more deeply.
During her third time traversing history, she had been convinced that she could not ascend to a True God within history, so she naturally believed that her chance for ascension lay in the “future” of reality.
But now it seemed that was not entirely the case.
History and the future, the past and the present, are intrinsically linked.
If everything was indeed as the Guardian Scepter said, perhaps her return to history to fill in its blanks was the key to changing everything.
As for breaking the predetermined future, that would be a logical development once all the necessary conditions were met.
History cannot be changed, but history… can be created!
Filling in the blanks of history was the opportunity Lilith left for Charlotte to create history and change the future.
As for reality…
According to the Guardian Scepter, it was the period of preparation before everything was ready and the crucial blow to reverse the end after history was filled.
However, the Guardian Scepter’s cautiousness and its fear of the backlash from failing to “deceive” history raised more questions for Charlotte.
If the Guardian Scepter was so fearful, was her enemy really just the crazed Sun God Helios, who sought to become the Creator God?

“Sorry, Your Majesty, I cannot say. When you complete the puzzle of history, you… will know.”
The Guardian Scepter said respectfully.
It did not answer the question Charlotte posed.
But that was enough.
Because the Guardian Scepter’s attitude, in a sense, was an answer.
Charlotte’s eyes flickered as her thoughts cleared.
It seemed that the fall of the Gods and the destruction of the world were not caused by Helios obtaining the power of creation…
In retrospect, it made sense.
Helios had already become “abnormal.” He was tainted by the Origin Malice and had lost his sanity.
Faced with a mad True God, the Guardian Scepter, a wisdom artifact of the Creator God, should not be so terrified and apprehensive. Even if Helios was among the top mythical beings in the world.
But if the Guardian Scepter did not fear Helios…
Then the final culprit could only be one thing—the source that polluted Helios, or rather… the source of all life in the world of Myria.
The origin of all extraordinary beings, the Creator God whom all beings referred to as father and mother!
Thinking of this, Charlotte’s expression gradually became serious, and she felt a chill down her spine.
If everything was as she guessed, then things were indeed dire.
The Creator God was the source of all extraordinary beings and life.
Everything in the world of Myria, every flower, every tree, all the magic in the world, everything depended on their power.
Creation meant creating the world, which also meant they were the world itself.
Perhaps… the term “deceiving history” used by the Guardian Scepter was not entirely accurate. The more accurate term would likely be “deceiving the world.” Ȑ𝖆Nȏ฿Ёș
“So, Helios wanting to master the power of creation is just a facade, and the truth behind it is… the mythical being wants to resurrect through its chosen proxy?”
“Helios was not simply ‘fallen’ or ‘polluted,’ but chosen by some will to act as their proxy, is that right?”
Charlotte asked.
The Guardian Scepter sighed.
“Your Majesty, the extraordinary is everywhere, and this topic… we cannot delve further into.”
Charlotte fell silent.
After a moment, she spoke.
“What about Harald? Is Harald… still normal?”
Harald was born with holy power.
And holy power… is an evolution of the power of creation.
In other words, Harald could also be a chosen proxy of the Creator God. Not only that, his rapid growth and being crowned as the “Creator God” suggest he might be a means for the Creator God’s resurrection.
The Guardian Scepter did not answer directly but said,
“This is why my master chose to slumber.”
Charlotte’s heart sank.
She understood the implication of the Guardian Scepter’s words.
Harald chose to sleep, likely because he knew the truth and wanted to resist the Creator’s will.
At that moment, Charlotte thought of herself.
“What about me? Aren’t you worried about me? My power… is also an extension of the origin power.”
Charlotte asked again.
“Your Majesty, the ‘birth’ of bloodbornes is a miracle, and the supreme artifact of Bloodborne is the same. As for your question, I think it can be answered with a few other questions.”
The Guardian Scepter replied.
The Guardian Scepter looked at Charlotte meaningfully and said,
“Your Majesty, the True Ancestor, aren’t you curious?”
“There are so many beings in the world, so many extraordinary creatures, but why is it that only the bloodbornes bear the curse of their bloodline?
Why do bloodbornes have eternal life, something even dragons do not possess?”
“Why… is the power of the bloodbornes restrained by my master’s holy power?”
“Why… was the supreme artifact of the Bloodborne damaged?”
Charlotte was slightly taken aback and then fell into deep thought.
After a moment, she nodded.
“I think I understand.”
Bloodbornes are indeed different.
Only foreign objects are rejected, only foreign objects are repelled, and only threats are destroyed!
Perhaps… to the world, bloodbornes themselves are “foreign objects.”
At the same time, only “foreign objects” have the potential to create miracles.
In other words, the blood divine power she possesses, the Gospel of Blood she holds, are powers beyond the control of the Creator’s will.
The bloodbornes never carried the blessings of the power of creation but rather the curse of the Creator’s will.
The endless life of bloodbornes is proof of their transcendence from control, their “reward,” and the curses they bear are the cost of transcending the world’s will!
This… is probably the greatest secret of the bloodbornes!
Of course, this is also why the Guardian Scepter, Harald, and Lilith have placed their hopes on Charlotte!
“Guardian Scepter, when did I become a true god in the last cycle?”
Charlotte asked.
“If you mean after your resurrection, then… it’s not far off. What you need, your enemy has already ‘prepared’ for you.”
The Guardian Scepter answered.
Already… prepared?
Charlotte was momentarily stunned.
Then, she realized this referred to the Sun Temple.
One of the reasons Charlotte came to the Holy City was that Pope Gregory XII lured her with various bloodborne treasures.
Since the Guardian Scepter said so, it seemed that this lure wasn’t simple.
Charlotte had a faint sense of this too. Since arriving at the Holy City, her bloodline power had started to stir.
Her crisis was here.
But likewise, her opportunity for ascension was probably here as well.
Opportunity often coexists with crisis.
The Sun believers in the Holy City likely gathered enough cursed pages and faceless statues to achieve their goals.
When she resolves this crisis in the Holy City, it will probably be the moment she ascends to become a True God!
“Alright, I’ll play along with this act.”
Charlotte said.
She already knew what to do.
She would cooperate with the Guardian Scepter to play out “history,” and then… as a True God, traverse back in time to seek further opportunities in the blanks of history.
Since the Creator’s will is the ultimate boss, then… as long as she becomes a being like the Creator God first, everything will be fine.
Of course, the “polluted” Helios will undoubtedly try everything to stop her.
The next phase will be a battle of wits and courage between her and her adversary.
“Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty, the True Ancestor. I will do my utmost to assist you until the arrival of the Divinity Descent Day!”
The Guardian Scepter said respectfully and solemnly.
Charlotte nodded slightly.
The Divinity Descent Day… Divinity Descent Day…
Judging by the Guardian Scepter’s expression, it’s likely not just the day of the Gods’ resurrection but also the day the Creator’s will awakens.
That will also be Charlotte’s day of final confrontation.
In that case, it is indeed not far off.
However, Charlotte still had one last question, or rather… concern.
“Guardian Scepter, in the Sun Temple, is there anyone aware of the last ‘cycle’? Does Helios know?”
She asked.
The Guardian Scepter shook its head.
“Only those who transcend the will of the world can step outside the cycle of history and observe everything, and they… have not transcended.”
Charlotte frowned slightly, deep in thought.
“Your Majesty, the True Ancestor, this is all I can tell you. I have stayed too long, any longer and… I fear it will attract the divine power sensing of the Sun believers.”
The Guardian Scepter bowed.
Charlotte glanced at it.
Actually, she had one more question, a new one that arose naturally after the Guardian Scepter answered her previous doubts—
Since only those who transcend the will of the world can know about the last cycle and observe the changes in the world lines, how did this wisdom artifact manage it?
It was not a myth of the bloodbornes.
Or did it also once transcend?
Clearly, the Guardian Scepter had more secrets.
But judging by its demeanor, it was unwilling to explain further.
“Understood, you may go. I hope that one day, you will reveal all your secrets to me.”
Charlotte said.
She did not press further.
Everyone has their secrets, the Guardian Scepter has its secrets, and so does she.
Since the Guardian Scepter was chosen by Harald to be the “guide,” it must have its special attributes. Harald and Lilith are siblings, so perhaps its power is also related to Lilith.
Of course, this isn’t important.
What she needs to know, she will know eventually. There’s no need to dwell on it now.
As long as she is certain of its sincerity, that is enough.
