Charlotte did not linger in the Crescent Kingdom for long.
As she truly stepped into the rank of a true God and gradually realized what she would ultimately have to confront, she found that many of her thoughts had changed as well.
The things she once cared about no longer held her attention, and the various developnt plans she had originally conceived were almost all left untouched.
The needs of a God are different from those of mortals.
Especially for a true God who had already reached the pinnacle.
Charlotte had no real interest in ruling the continent. No, it should be said that after becoming a true God, she didn’t even involve herself much in the affairs of Starfall anymore, almost entirely handing them over to the council, only occasionally overseeing the general direction.
So… the task of handling the aftermath in the Crescent Kingdom was left to the Holy Court.
In a sense, the reason the Starfall nobles supported her so fervently, aside from her revealed identity as a true God, was largely due to her willingness to delegate power.
After dealing with the threat from the Crescent Kingdom that she had seen in the "future," Charlotte returned to the Starfall Red Palace.
Dismissing the knights and maids, she sat high on the throne, a flash of light in her hand revealing a translucent soul.
The soul struggled as soon as it appeared, faintly showing the face of Louis V, his expression alternating between fear and resentnt, as if he possessed multiple personalities.
Seeing the soul’s gaze, which was almost identical to the madness of the Sun God Helios, Charlotte’s heart stirred.
"Planning to return using Louis V as a vessel, huh…"
She snorted lightly, exerting a slight force with her hand, and the struggling soul was completely crushed.
A faint sun emblem flashed within the shattered soul, releasing a surge of sun divine power that was all too familiar to Charlotte. The divine power flickered and then vanished into the void, streaking like a beam of light toward a certain direction.
Charlotte did not stop it. Instead, the mont the sun emblem appeared, she imprinted her own divine mark into it.
Her consciousness followed the sun emblem, and Charlotte "saw" it traverse the void, instantly crossing most of the ocean and landing on the shattered Western Continent.
She morized the coordinates but did not act imdiately. Instead, she summoned all her followers through the blood covenant.
Ti was running out for her, and before leaving, she had to make her final arrangents.
"True Ancestor/Great Master!"
Below the throne, many followers bowed respectfully.
Sebastian, Nice, the werewolf Luff, and the black dragon Eudoxia were all present. Even the Guardian Scepter stood with them, bowing slightly to Charlotte to show its submission.
But this was not the end.
The light of the blood summoning flickered, and soon, the leaders of the various blood clans who had sworn allegiance to Charlotte were also summoned to the castle. Ȑ𝐀Ν∅฿Ɛ𝙨
This included General Bardock and Grand Duke Ron of the Nez Clan, the Great Prophet Margo of the Harcos Clan, the Pure White Witch Ancia of the Vadallat Clan, Grand Elder Dorado of the Szellem Clan, and… Albrecht, who had regained control of the Shedite Clan with Charlotte’s support.
"We pay our respects to the True Ancestor/Savior!"
The many bloodbornes also bowed in unison.
Looking at the followers bowing before her, Charlotte nodded slightly to herself.
Aside from the nobles of Castell and Starfall, almost all the core mbers loyal to "True Ancestor Charlotte" were now present.
Aside from the black cat Nice and the werewolf Luff, almost everyone else present was at the Legendary tier.
Any force witnessing this scene would surely tremble… Not to ntion Charlotte’s unparalleled divine status, even just considering her followers and the forces they represented, it was enough to sweep across the world.
The hall was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. All the followers were waiting for the "God’s" instructions, their postures extrely respectful.
Seeing the cautious deanor of everyone, including Sebastian and Nice, Charlotte suddenly felt a sense of boredom.
Of course, this feeling was fleeting, and she quickly adjusted her mindset, asking,
"Are the preparations for war… complete?"
Hearing Charlotte’s words, the Guardian Scepter stepped forward first and said,
"True Ancestor, the Holy Court is ready to wage war against evil at any mont. The ultra-long-distance teleportation array to Starfall City has been completed, and the Holy Legion is ready to deploy. We can initiate teleportation operations and respond to summoning battles at any ti!"
Charlotte nodded slightly at the Guardian Scepter’s report.
Although the Guardian Scepter held many secrets, it was also the one who understood Charlotte’s enemies the most and knew exactly what they might be facing in the upcoming war.
As for the others, they didn’t know as much.
However, Charlotte did not intend to reveal everything to her followers.
So things were not better known by more people. The power of Gods far exceeded mortal imagination, especially the God Charlotte was planning to deal with next. Even in their dormant state, their status was still higher than hers.
Sotis, rely "knowing" ant being "marked," and potentially becoming a "puppet."
Just like… Helios.
So, Charlotte only used "legends" to inform all her followers that the "Divinity Descent Day" was approaching, that true evil would awaken, and that the entire world might fall into turmoil or even war. Everyone needed to be prepared for battle at any mont.
This was enough.
"Savior, the Nez Clan is also ready for war. The Nez Legion and the Nez Fleet are ready to march at any ti!"
Bardock said with fervor.
Following this, the others also expressed their readiness.
"The Shedite Clan’s shadow network has been activated, and we have gathered fifteen rcenary groups secretly controlled by the clan in the Eastern Yunette Blacklands. They are ready to fight for the Progenitor at any ti."
"The combined forces of the Vadallat and Szellem Clans have been assembled and await the True Ancestor’s summons!"
"The Harcos Clan’s guard is ready for battle."
Even Starfall Kingdom, represented by Nice, declared,
"ow! The entire kingdom is ready for war. All the nobles have completed their mobilization."
"Very well!"
After hearing everyone’s reports, Charlotte nodded slightly, feeling satisfied.
"Savior! Who exactly is our target this ti? Where are we conquering?"
Badak asked excitedly.
Charlotte, however, shook her head.
"No, Bardock, this ti… our goal is defense."
"Defense?"
Badak was stunned.
Charlotte nodded slightly and said,
"That’s right. A powerful God is about to awaken. It will see as its greatest enemy, and those who follow , those who could beco my ’anchors,’ will also be seen as its enemies."
"Not only that, but all extraordinary beings may be seen as sources of power by them. So… the extraordinary forces of the entire Myria Continent may beco their targets."
"Therefore… your task is to protect yourselves and everything around you. When the God’s followers launch their attack, you must rise up and repel them!"
A God that even the True Ancestor fears?!
Seeing Charlotte’s serious expression, the many followers were montarily stunned, exchanging glances.
But soon, they bowed again, their voices respectful and resounding,
"Everything… shall follow your divine decree!"
Only Sebastian and Nice looked complicated.
Unlike the others, Sebastian had been to Luna Island and had followed Charlotte the longest. He understood her the most and had so idea of what was coming.
As for Nice, he had been by Charlotte’s side almost every day, witnessing everything.
The two of them… actually knew who Charlotte’s enemy was.
"True Ancestor, what about… you?"
Sebastian couldn’t help but ask.
Charlotte looked to the west.
"I will be heading to the Western Continent."
"After I leave, all matters will be coordinated by Sebastian, Nice, and the Guardian Scepter, with Sebastian in charge, and Nice and the Guardian Scepter assisting."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of many bloodbornes changed instantly.
"True Ancestor? You… you’re going to the Western Continent?!"
The Great Prophet Margo of the Harcos Clan asked nervously.
"True Ancestor… will you… will you return?"
Grand Duke Ron also asked anxiously.
Seeing the bloodbornes’ panicked expressions, Charlotte understood their concerns.
Fifteen hundred years ago, the "True Ancestor of Blood" had also disappeared not long after heading to the Western Continent.
Now that the True Ancestor had returned, reuniting all forces, and the bloodbornes were showing signs of revival, the followers naturally didn’t want Charlotte to disappear again.
"Don’t worry, I will return. I just have to go to the Western Continent to deal with a problem."
Charlotte said.
Hearing her words, the bloodbornes gradually cald down. Though they were still worried, they had at least received a promise from their God.
"Savior, is there anything we can do for you?"
Bardock asked.
"This is a conflict between Gods. There’s not much you can do to help. Your greatest contribution will be to protect everything."
Charlotte said.
A conflict between Gods…
The bloodbornes’ expressions grew even more worried.
Finally, it was the Guardian Scepter who spoke.
"True Ancestor is likely going to deal with the remnants of the Sun Temple. The Sun God Helios may not have perished but is lingering in the Western Continent. True Ancestor’s journey to the Western Continent is to handle this matter."
Hearing this, the bloodbornes felt sowhat reassured, and Charlotte glanced at the Guardian Scepter.
Feeling the God’s gaze, the Guardian Scepter respectfully said,
"True Ancestor, knowing this should be fine for them. The corruption of the sun is not enough to mark them through this knowledge."
Charlotte then looked away.
"I hope to see all of you in this hall when I return."
She said.
A crimson light gradually emanated from her body, and her form began to grow transparent and illusory.
Watching the figure on the throne slowly dissipate, the many followers bowed respectfully.
"We bid farewell to the True Ancestor!"
