Gospel of Blood
Chapter 75: Advancement

Charlotte only felt the Gospel of Blood in her consciousness suddenly burst into crimson radiance, with golden inscriptions on it lighting up one by one, as if coming alive...

She felt she could hardly suppress a force rapidly rising from the depths of her spiritual world.

With the Ascension Tree in her consciousness as the starting point and the artifact "Gospel of Blood" as the medium, a vast and majestic force surged, and swiftly began to reshape Charlotte's spiritual world.

In Sebastian's astonished gaze, the crimson mist boiled incessantly, the ancient Dark Night Castle collapsed suddenly, then swiftly reformed, only to collapse and reform again...

Only the Dark Night Lady sitting high on the Blood Throne remained unchanged throughout eternity.

In Sebastian's sight, her expression was incredibly calm, as if she had everything around her under control.

Seeing her like this, Sebastian gradually felt reassured, as if he had found his idol.

At the same time, sensing her increasingly terrifying aura, a joyous thought arose in Sebastian's mind —

Could it be... the Lady of the Night has regained some power?

Charlotte didn't know if advancing in ranks counted as regaining power, she only knew that the changes in her spiritual world had slipped from her control.

She wasn't calm. Rather, under that mysterious power, she had lost some control over her facial expressions.

Fortunately, the force ravaging the castle world subsided after about a minute.

But that vast force did not disappear. Instead, it followed the connection between Charlotte and reality, surging into her physical body.

Charlotte could clearly feel her physical body in reality starting to undergo a transformation.

In her perception, she could distinctly feel her power skyrocketing...

In the depths of her mind, she felt as if she had broken through an invisible barrier, and her entire life seemed to have undergone sublimation in an instant.

At the same time, Charlotte's consciousness suddenly began to rapidly expand...

She still sat high on the Blood Throne, yet "saw" the real world, saw beyond the study, saw the bustling activity in the Castell Manor, saw the streets outside.

Her consciousness quickly ascended, seeing the entire Borde City, seeing it gradually shrink, seeing the plains, mountains, rivers... She saw the stars.

No, they weren't ordinary stars.

They were planets, enveloped in radiance, emitting dazzling light, yet they were not stars.

Charlotte's gaze quickly fell on the nearest star.

The radiance of the star seemed to emanate from the great power shrouding it. Through the radiance, Charlotte could see countless beings seemingly living on it, their expressions devout, bowing towards one grand temple after another in worship.

In the center surrounded by numerous temples on the star, a towering colossal temple stood.

Through that towering temple, Charlotte seemed to see a giant of light seated on a throne.

The light giant was so immense that Charlotte could sense its incomparable power and its terrifying and vast aura with just one glance.

At the moment she cast her gaze, the figure also cast its gaze towards her.

Charlotte couldn't see the figure clearly, everything about it was hidden in the radiance. But a voice, old and gentle, came through.

"My dear child, peering into the Kingdom of the Gods is not a good habit."

The voice was calm.

Charlotte even detected a polite tone within it...

Damn!

This is a God!

Charlotte was startled.

She couldn't maintain this strange state in an instant, and her consciousness fell rapidly.

In a daze, her consciousness returned to the dream world once again.

The castle was still the same castle, everything seemed unchanged. But Charlotte soon noticed the difference.

Looking at the castle walls, her gaze slightly condensed.

She saw vivid paintings appearing on the walls.

In the painting, a mysterious woman wearing a divine robe sat high on a throne, accepting the bow of an elf wearing a tailcoat...

It depicted the scene where Sebastian had just pledged allegiance to her.

Sebastian also saw the painting on the wall. He was immediately excited, tears filling his eyes.

Charlotte could even hear his inner joy.

It's a painting!

Praise the Lady of the Night, I, Sebastian, can actually appear in a painting!

I am the Lady of the Night's first vassal!

SHE... truly acknowledges me!

Charlotte: ...

Watching Sebastian's excitement, she felt it would be better if he didn't know she wasn't the one who had created the painting...

Perceiving her own state again, Charlotte could feel that her power had changed.

Her senses were sharpened many times more than before, and she felt as if she had endless power.

She felt that her current self, even if encountering an elephant, could easily tear it apart like crushing an ant...

She seemed to have regained the power she had that night of her blood frenzy.

Charlotte knew this was advancement.

She had advanced to the first-tier Starry Sky.

However, she could clearly feel that the mysterious power awakened by her advancement had not disappeared, but still existed, lingering deep in her consciousness.

Charlotte could perceive them.

They seemed to have merged with her, yet seemed to be everywhere, making her feel as if her consciousness were enveloped in an invisible energy.

Charlotte also sensed their source, the "Gospel of Blood" as always.

However, it wasn't simply emanating from the Gospel, but seemed to have undergone some strange chemical reaction with her soul, giving birth to it on its own...

At this moment, new system window information slowly emerged in Charlotte's consciousness —

[Condition Met]

[Gospel of Blood · Genesis Chapter, Ability Unlocked —]

[True Ancestor's Liberation (Activatable)]

[As the descendant of royal blood, the master of the Gospel will possess the ability of True Ancestor's Liberation, temporarily gaining the power at the level of the True Ancestor by consuming divine power.]

[The intensity and duration of True Ancestor's Liberation are limited by divine power, with the current maximum output level being equal to the Legendary level and a duration of one minute.]

[After liberation ends, the ability goes on cooldown and can only be activated again after divine power has recovered.]

...

True Ancestor's Liberation?

Divine power?

Charlotte was stunned.

But soon, she forcibly shifted her attention.

"Alright, let's return to reality, first solve your trouble."

The girl said calmly.

Her advancement took about a minute from start to finish.

Although she really wanted to study her newly acquired power and see the new abilities unlocked by the Gospel of Blood, she was also curious about the 'starry sky' she had just seen... but Charlotte knew it wasn't the right time now.

Now, she had to save Sebastian first.

After signing the contract with Sebastian, she could 'see' his situation if she wanted to, and she knew that the flame elf was being 'assaulted by fire'.

The fire was about to burn his butt.

If she waited a little longer, he would probably turn into a roasted elf.

"Obey your divine commandment!"

Sebastian exclaimed excitedly and respectfully, bowing once more.

With that said, his figure disappeared from the Dark Night Castle.

As Sebastian returned to reality, Charlotte also planned to summon him and rescue him through the summoning of the servant contract.

However, sensing the mysterious power that could be summoned by her at any time deep in her consciousness, she suddenly paused.

After pondering for a moment, she decided to conduct a small experiment first.

Instead of immediately summoning Sebastian to her side in reality, she connected to his vision through the contract.

In the next moment, Charlotte had Sebastian's perspective.
