In Haral's transcendent bloodline, there exists a holy power.
This was something Charlotte had already discovered during her second crossing of history.
Of course, at that time, Haral's "holy power" was still very weak, so weak that even Charlotte felt its aura was only similar to that of the Holy Royal Court's priest.
But now it was completely different.
After Charlotte deeply sensed Haral's state, she only felt the divine power inside him surging like a great lake, that mighty force even made Charlotte suspect she was examining the body of a Great Priest of the Holy Royal Court.
Meanwhile, the Blood Holy Scripture in the depths of her consciousness also resonated strongly, the intensity of which was no less than when Charlotte discovered the "presence" of "Lilith" on Royena.
Charlotte could clearly sense the "yearning" of the Blood Holy Scripture, similar to when it faced that grayish-white eerie mist.
Combining the intelligence gathered from "Lilith" about the "primordial," Charlotte vaguely speculated further on the "holy power" within Haral.
Evidently, Haral's power is also related to the "primordial."
No, or more accurately, this holy power that spread across the continent in later generations, is perhaps similar to the blood divine power Charlotte holds, originally a derivative of the "primordial power."
"The religious texts of the Holy Royal Court often regard the Creator God's power as the source of all deities' powers. Though there's a tendency for the Church to embellish their deity's reputation, one thing indeed raises suspicion, that is since the 'return' of the Creator God, no deity could match Him..."
"When I first read the texts, I didn't pay much attention to this detail, only thinking it was simply because of the Creator God's great strength, but now looking back, could it be because 'holy power' and 'blood divine power' are similar, both being derivatives of the primordial power, thus also suppressing other deific powers akin to blood lineage?"
As Charlotte felt the aura of "holy power" within Haral, such a notion inexplicably arose in her mind.
And once this thought emerged, it couldn't be stopped.
In Charlotte's perception, she found an increasing resemblance between the "holy power" within Haral and the "blood divine power."
Although the former is not divine power, it carries some similar traits to blood divine power, such as also being able to "transform" into extraordinary power, and similarly... being able to absorb other extraordinary energies.
However, for blood divine power, this absorption is "devour," while for holy power, it is "purification."
Simultaneously, the external manifestation of blood divine power is "darkness," whereas that of holy power is "light." From a certain viewpoint, both give Charlotte the feeling of being two sides of the same energy.
However, the holy power within Haral at this moment has some subtle differences compared to the holy power known to Charlotte in later generations from the Holy Royal Court.
Most notably, upon contacting the "holy power" inside Haral, Charlotte did not feel a sting.
Haral's "holy power" seems not yet to have the overwhelming restraint on the Bloodline's power as the later generation's "holy power" does.
This is absolutely not because Charlotte is a Blood Ancestor, but because at this moment, the "holy power" does not inherently have a near "purification" threat against Bloodline power.
Not only this, but when Charlotte's blood divine power came into contact with the "holy power" within Haral, she was shocked to find that the two actually began to attract each other and gradually merged.
Then... an even more astonishing scene appeared to Charlotte.
She was shocked to "see" that where the diluted blood divine power and holy power intertwined, that eerie pale mist began to permeate...
Or more accurately, after the fusion of diluted blood divine power and holy power, it transformed into that white mist!
However, unlike the white mist spreading from behind the stone gate, this fusion-produced white mist appeared purer and more righteous.
Charlotte didn't sense the kind of deadly seductive "threat" resembling the mist behind the stone gate; instead, the Blood Holy Scripture within her trembled incessantly, and even without intentionally sensing it, she could perceive the Holy Scripture's "hunger" for this pure white mist.
Evidently, this white mist is likely the primordial force.
However, ultimately, the level of blood divine power and holy power was too vast a difference.
Though the divine power had been diluted by Charlotte, divine power is divine power, after all.
In Charlotte's perception, the holy power inside Haral was almost instantly "fused" by her blood divine power to a great extent, transforming into wisps of "primordial fog" like white smoke.
Charlotte immediately realized and quickly interrupted this peculiar "fusion," withdrawing her blood divine power.
But even so, she sensed that the massive holy power within Haral was nearly emptied in an instant; if she was any slower, he might have been "drained."
And when she looked at Haral's face, she also saw that his complexion had become quite pale, looking rather depleted.
Charlotte was immediately embarrassed.
She did not anticipate such a situation occurring.
However, Haral showed no reaction to his power being "absorbed"; he still quietly kept his eyes closed, awaiting Charlotte to "finish the examination."
Clearly, this student trusts her even more than Charlotte imagined.
Fortunately, although she nearly "drained" Haral's holy power, Charlotte also took the opportunity to complete the examination of his body using divine power.
Inside Haral, there was no "polluting" force, and not only that, his soul was clean, with no trace of manipulation or influence.
Haral... was without any issues.
At least with Charlotte's current abilities, she couldn't detect any problem.
This only made Charlotte more confused.
If there was nothing wrong with Haral, why didn't Lilith remember him?
It's important to note that Haral had not fallen; even in the afterlife, He still existed.
Then... if it's not "Haral" who has the problem, perhaps it's "Lilith".
Besides this, Charlotte also had another speculation that just because there is currently nothing wrong with Haral does not mean there's nothing wrong with the "Haral" in the afterlife.
Perhaps... these "memory" disorders are also related to historical distortions.
Thinking of this, Charlotte sighed softly and ended the "physical examination".
Haral also opened his eyes in time, his expression weary.
Charlotte felt a bit embarrassed; she indeed had "drained" the other party in one go.
She lightly cleared her throat and said:
"Hmm, your body is fine, but... you've consumed a lot of energy, are you holding up?"
"Hmm, it's fine, I just need to rest for two days."
Haral said.
It probably wasn't his first time "running out" of Holy Power, his expression remained normal, without a hint of worry.
Charlotte's heart stirred, she suddenly remembered something and asked:
"I remember you once said that your current power was obtained by signing a contract with some kind of existence in the Elf Clan's magic laboratory, right?" (Note 1)
"Yes, teacher, the power my sister and I have was obtained after we signed a contract with some mysterious will. We guess it might be an ancient deity."
Haral said solemnly.
Charlotte nodded slightly.
She had heard him mention this before, at that time she only thought that perhaps Lilith and Haral had inherited from some deity, after all... in the Mythical Era, protagonists like the Arrogant Man were almost everywhere, but looking at it now, it was obviously not that simple.
Now she had a speculation that perhaps... the existence that signed a contract with Lilith and Haral was very likely the will of the "Primordial".
And the Bloodline's power, the Holy Royal Court's power, are inheritances of the Primordial Power.
If it weren't for her existence, Lilith, who inherited the Blood Divine Power, would ultimately become the Bloodline's Ancestor.
And Haral would ascend to godhood with the Holy Power he obtained, becoming the "Creator God".
Of course, this should be the earliest and original history, after Lilith reversed history for countless reincarnations and after Charlotte's crossing, Mireya's history had long been ruined.
Fortunately, after this physical examination, Charlotte could at least rule out that there was any trap left by the existence behind the door on Haral.
Lilith forgetting Haral should not be a plot of the will behind the door, but should be due to some other reason.
Although Charlotte could not come to a further conclusion yet, for now, this was enough.
And what she needed to do next was to continue according to the original plan, quickly start a war, and take advantage of the era's opportunity to "devour" the power of the Old Gods, rapidly enhancing her strength.
The Blood Holy Scripture is the Supreme Divine Artifact of the Bloodline; in theory, helping Charlotte become a true True Ancestor shouldn't be a problem, the only thing missing is probably "energy".
She was limited on time and had to seize as much Divine Power as possible, aiming to become a True God as soon as possible.
Only in this way could she contend against the existence behind the door.
Of course, if she could take advantage of this opportunity to catch some weakness of the existence behind the door in this era, suppress their forces with the historical blank, and capture some of their information, it would be even better.
As for those few strands of "Primordial Power" produced by the fusion of Blood Divine Power and Holy Power, after some thought, Charlotte ultimately decided not to devour them.
According to the rhythm of the Blood Holy Scripture, she knew that these things were indeed a great supplement to the Scripture, but she had a vague feeling that if she directly fed them to the Blood Holy Scripture, it might be a waste of resources.
Charlotte had a premonition that saving these few strands of "Primordial Power" might have other uses in the future.
Thinking of this, Charlotte pondered and said:
"Hmm, for the next few days, you should rest for a bit, the army's reorganization will also take a few days, and once the army arrives, we will launch an attack on the Old Gods Alliance."
