The gray-white mist subtly shifted, with light gray streams continuously swirling.
In the divine power cage, the “ghost face” suddenly transford into a blurred male visage.
The phantom face looked at Charlotte, its expression ever-changing. A deep, ethereal voice slowly echoed within the cage.
“I thought I hid well. How did you discover ?”
Charlotte glanced at the reminder of the divine ritual counter in her vision and chuckled, “Experience.”
The blurry face fell silent.
It gazed deeply at Charlotte and said, “It’s been a thousand years, and your blood divine power… seems to have weakened considerably.”
Hm?
Is this… soone Lilith knew?
Charlotte’s heart skipped a beat.
She glanced at the blurred face in the cage, not denying it, but instead chuckled and taunted,
“Even weakened, I’m still stronger… than so who get caught by .”
The blurred face was silent again.
It looked at Charlotte and said,
“I don’t wish to argue with you. We… are not enemies.”
“eting an old friend in this era is a fortunate thing. After all, there are fewer and fewer of us ancient beings who still linger.”
“Release the restraints. You should know that you’re only confining one of my consciousnesses. Even if you destroy it, my true self will still guess that the presence behind the Starfall Kingdom is you.”
“I won’t reveal your whereabouts to him, and you don’t need to interfere with my actions on Luna Island.”
Listening to the blurred face’s words, Charlotte fell into deep thought.
She roughly understood the other’s aning.
Clearly, this mysterious myth was hiding on Luna Island. If she wasn’t mistaken, it was likely her directive to the Nez Clan to investigate that alard him.
Considering the similar aura in his power to the white mist behind the eerie stone gate, Charlotte even suspected he might be related to those elven bloodbornes turned into “puppets.”
The other seed to know Lilith, or rather… the “True Ancestor of Blood” from history, and now obviously mistook her for the returning True Ancestor of Blood.
Moreover, he didn’t want his actions on Luna Island exposed. Though Charlotte didn’t know what he was doing there, she discerned the implied deal and threat in his words—’You pretend you didn’t see , and I’ll pretend I didn’t see you’…
Charlotte’s gaze shifted slightly.
She didn’t know who this God conversing with her was, but… definitely not Artemis, the Moon Goddess.
Though the gender of Gods is sowhat Schrodinger-like, the Moon Goddess… is undeniably a “Goddess.”
From his tone, he seed quite familiar with the “True Ancestor of Blood.”
That tone was of equality, without fear or trepidation, only so apprehension.
That’s a tone that only appears when beings of the sa level communicate.
Considering various records from the Mythic Era and her understanding of the Gods of Myria, Charlotte had a vague guess about its identity.
There weren’t many entities historically on par with the True Ancestor of Blood, and they were all well-known.
After much consideration, there were only a few possibilities.
Of course, Charlotte’s thoughts were just conjectures, requiring further verification.
With that in mind, her gaze turned cold, and the blood divine power subtly flowed within her.
Charlotte looked down at him, her clear voice tinged with authority.
“Regarding recent events at sea, shouldn’t you give an explanation?”
“Explanation? What explanation do you seek? The changes in the elven bloodbornes on Luna Island? Or Kraken’s attacks? If it’s the latter… my pet was quite frightened by you. As for the forr… those elves brought it upon themselves, having nothing to do with .”
The blurred face said indifferently.
As expected, it’s Sea King Oceanus!
Charlotte’s eyes flashed.
In the era when bloodbornes dominated the continent, only two Gods could compare with the True Ancestor of Blood.
One was Moon Goddess Artemis and the other… was Sea King Oceanus.
Given that he referred to the Legendary Sea Behemoth Kraken as his pet, his identity was now clear.
It was Sea King Oceanus, the God of the Ocean and Storms! But why is Sea King Oceanus on Luna Island?
Moreover, the changes in those elven bloodbornes seed to have more to them?
Furthermore, Sea King Oceanus seed unwilling to reveal his status. Is it because he’s in a weakened state of recovery? Or is he avoiding so danger?
Regardless, he didn’t seem to recognize her true identity.
If he indeed mistook her for the returning “True Ancestor”, it ant she might glean so secrets about Luna Island, or even beyond…
After thinking it over, Charlotte asked.
“What’s the situation with the elven bloodbornes on Luna Island?”
The blurred face shook his head.
“You should know better than . After all, they ended up like that by doing exactly what you did back then. They couldn’t withstand the origin power and were ultimately eroded.”
He glanced at Charlotte again, aningfully.
“You’ve truly weakened a lot. If this were the past, you wouldn’t converse with so calmly, you’d act directly.”
“But still, it’s not bad. At least… you’re back.”
“Those elven bloodbornes on Luna Island… give up on them. They’re beyond saving. At least… when I encountered them, they were already beyond saving.”
“You should thank . If not for , those things would have spread to Starfall Island long ago.”
“Let’s make a deal. You don’t interfere with Luna Island. Those elven bloodbornes are no longer your descendants, they now serve .”
“In exchange, I can persuade the Pope of the Holy Court’s Theocracy to turn a blind eye to Starfall Island.”
“In the end, we’re both targets of ‘Him.’ We don’t have any real conflicts of interest. Our goals are the sa. We… are natural allies.”
“His” target?
Charlotte’s heart skipped a beat.
Inexplicably, she thought of the records in the Crimson Queen Rowena’s diary.
‘Could this “Him” be related to the enemy Lilith faced? Or is it the real cause of Lilith’s madness?’
‘Origin power… could it an the power of creation? The Creator God?’
Thinking this, Charlotte took a deep breath and, without revealing her thoughts, calmly asked.
“How much do you know about ‘Him’?”
Hearing Charlotte’s question, the blurred face’s expression finally changed.
His eyebrows raised slightly, his voice enigmatic.
“Oh? The mighty ruler of the bloodbornes, the Eternal Night Monarch, the God closest to the Origin, would actually ask about the ‘Origin’?”
