Charlotte acted on her thoughts imdiately.
She instantly tapped into the bloodline network to contact the Falling Star bloodline she had arranged to care for Kraken before she left.
Even myths can perform Divine Descent, so naturally, Charlotte could too in due ti; with the Guardian's Staff as cover, seizing a mont of negligence by the Sun believers to perform Divine Descent and leave was no difficult task.
Moreover, the holy power she wielded through the Faith Network in the Holy Royal Court did not disappoint her either; with an imnse pour of holy power, Kraken, whose soul injury would have taken half a year to heal at best, recovered completely in less than a quarter-hour.
Of course, its mory was restored as well.
"Great True Ancestor, Your Majesty! Thank you for your aid! I rembered! I rember everything! I have an important report for you!"
The colossal beast Kraken bowed reverently, speaking with utmost respect.
Charlotte nodded:
"Speak."
Kraken hesitated for a mont and said:
"True Ancestor, Your Majesty, everything... happened as our master predicted, as though our master knew today would co, He told , if the day cos that I can't contact Him, He instructed to co seek you!"
"He said... you will be my new master, and I... must assist you in fulfilling your mission!"
"Mission?"
Charlotte frowned slightly.
Thinking back to Oceanus's nonchalant deanor, she found it hard to associate such words with him.
Moreover, Oceanus was different from her; he didn't possess the authority for prophecy, even as a True God, his Spiritual Sense was even less sensitive than Charlotte's.
But Kraken could not betray him, nor would it lie; there was only one possibility left—perhaps during a ti she did not experience, Oceanus encountered sothing and learned so things...
Of course, this wasn't Charlotte's concern now. Right now, she had to deal with Helios's ambush.
After a brief contemplation, Charlotte asked:
"I indeed need your assistance; do you know the whereabouts of the Sea King Trident?"
Kraken's tentacles clenched tightly, teeth grinding:
"The Trident... has already fallen into the hands of a mysterious deity who imprisoned ."
"Just as expected..."
Charlotte's expression beca tense.
Seeing Charlotte's expression, Kraken hurriedly said:
"But you need not worry; now that I am healed, I can summon it back at any ti!"
"You? Summon it back?"
Charlotte was taken aback.
This ti, it was Kraken's turn to be bewildered:
"Huh? You... have you forgotten?"
"I? Forgotten?"
Charlotte was even more confused.
Kraken nodded:
"It seems... your mory hasn't fully recovered either; you've forgotten that I... am the Artifact Spirit of the Sea King Trident!"
...
Platinum and azure divine power interwove, converging at the tip of the Sea King Trident.
The storm surged, waves roared, and the "sea" summoned by "Helios" had, at this ti, turned into His own enemy. The entire ocean-covered world emanated strong hostility towards Him.
"Helios" felt himself locked by an imnsely powerful aura.
The vast ocean transford into the Ocean Divine Domain enacted by the Sea King Trident, forming a prison wider than the range of the Moon Dream Heart.
A dazzling brilliance burst forth, and the Trident instantly aid at "Helios's" chest.
"God said... let there be light!"
"Helios" roared angrily.
Platinum brilliance radiated from His body.
Eye-catching holy power erupted, creating a platinum barrier in front of "Helios".
anwhile, Charlotte suddenly found her mastery over Holy Power becoming sluggish, almost as though there was another presence vying for control over Holy Power with her.
Moreover, this presence's mastery over Holy Power... seed faintly stronger than hers!
The platinum barrier ford, colliding with the Trident, igniting an earth-shaking explosion:
"Boom——!"
The sea water erupted in all directions like a tsunami; the clouds in the sky were shredded into pieces, and even the Holy City on the ground, protected by Holy Power, was shaken as though struck by an earthquake, presenting a doomsday-like scene.
As everything cald, the form of "Helios" beca visible; He appeared much more disheveled, the Sun Runes on His body shattered, and His aura sowhat diminished.
Platinum brilliance swirled around Him, constantly repairing His injuries; His eyes glowing crimson, glaring venomously at Charlotte, his gaze almost devouring.
Observing the holy power around "Helios," Charlotte's expression subtly changed.
She leapt back, clutching the Trident, her deanor slightly tense:
"You... actually possess control over Holy Faith as well..."
Yet swiftly, her expression returned to an icy indifference:
"But in the end, things stolen... will never truly belong to you!"
With that said, she raised the Trident again, her body channeling crimson divine power.
That was Blood Divine Power.
The Trident's Ocean Divine Domain had already blocked the lock of the Moon Dream Heart. Now, Charlotte could once again wield the power of Blood Divine Power.
Crimson, platinum, azure... the three divine powers interwove, forming a dreamlike color; eventually... as if undergoing a subtle chemical reaction, transforming into pure white.
The appearance of white divine power made the aura more terrifying.
"This... this is... the original...!"
"Helios's" expression finally changed.
He took a deep look at Charlotte, then gritting his teeth, said:
"Dark Night, this ti, you win!"
"However, there won't be another ti; next ti... I will surely strike you down! Reclaim all that should have been mine!"
After speaking, golden brilliance erupted from His body.
Just then, "Helios's" body began to convulse, and then... a golden phantom detached from the body!
It was a phantom clad in a golden Divine Robe, wearing the Sun Mask, or rather... a Divine Soul!
Seeing that semi-transparent Divine Soul, Charlotte instantly understood why Helios never directly acted.
Sothing must have happened to Him, leaving only a Divine Soul, hence resorting to possessing other bodies for descent.
"Trying to escape?"
Charlotte squinted her eyes, then raised the Trident to strike at the golden Divine Soul.
"God said... let there be light!"
Helios roared again, gathering a platinum barrier to obstruct Charlotte.
Charlotte casually tore the barrier apart, chasing forward.
However, the barrier's mont of pause allowed Helios to successfully detach from the body.
"Haha! Dark Night! Next ti... you won't be so lucky!"
Helios laughed heartily before his form transford into a stream of light, swiftly fleeing.
Yet, just as He was about to escape, a pair of sinister arms suddenly erged, clutching His lower body.
Helios's expression was astonished.
Dark red divine power spread, chaotic, dark, and wicked, tightly intertwining with the golden stream of light, forcibly pulling the nearly escaped Helios back.
Only to see the "Blood Demon Duke's" body trembling, face contorted, and on the terrifying demonic visage, amidst the scarlet eyes, the pitch-black sclera had faded, revealing a hint of clarity beneath the madness and bloodlust.
"True Ancestor, Your Majesty! Please... strike!"
A hoarse, frenzied, yet fiercely resolute and fanatical voice roared from His throat.
Helios's expression turned furious and shocked:
"Aba—don—!"
