Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel
Chapter 402: -150- "Divine Grace

Chapter 402: -150- "Divine Grace

Charlotte realized she had always overlooked an issue.

In Mireya’s world, high-order Transcendents were by default not allowed to actively participate in frontal battlefields or massacre mortals, which had almost become humanity’s most famous acknowledged "rule" since the Holy Era.

However, not being allowed to actively participate in the front lines did not mean high-order Transcendents could not intervene in wars at all.

Indeed, if high-order Transcendents couldn’t even protect their own affiliated powers, then what was the purpose of their existence?

The high-order Transcendents who formulated such war rules, how could they agree to a "rule" that disadvantaged them?

Correct.

Not being allowed to participate actively on the front lines did not actually mean they could not participate passively.

For example... maintaining a large-scale Magic Defense System.

When Charlotte learned that her father had personally maintained the Magic Defense Shield of North Port during the Star Moon War, protecting the entire city, she realized this point.

It was just like the nuclear deterrence on her former world, Blue Star.

As a force that could influence the entire course of a war, conventionally, everyone would almost never choose to play this ace, but when facing an invasion, they would not rule out using this ace for a passive defense...

Applied to the current Bold-Castel war, that meant Charlotte actually could use high-tier powers to maintain the defense of North Port, combating the Allied Forces of the two Duchies!

Of course, North Port ostensibly did not have any high-order Transcendents.

But in reality, it was not so.

With the Blood Holy Scripture present, she as a temporary cheat code carrier could actually be considered a high-order Transcendent.

In a state using Blood Divine Power, Charlotte could even briefly confront a Legendary, not to mention Blazing Sun Strong ones!

Maintaining North Port’s Magic Shield required powerful spiritual power and an immense amount of Magic Power, demanding a strong control over Spell Defense.

Perhaps the usual Charlotte could not do this.

But having activated the Blood Divine Power and obtained a "deity"-like power boost, she very likely could.

And the only thing that needed explaining was why she could use such formidable power.

Charlotte’s solution to this was simple and brutal.

Since she had already been establishing her "Saintess" persona, she might as well blame all the inexplicable phenomena on the "deities."

After all, a certain Divine Lord seemed to be in a deep slumber and could not possibly jump up to expose her.

And if she could establish such almost "Divine Miracle" phenomena as fact, it would not only mean that Charlotte could use Blood Divine Power to protect North Port legitimately.

If executed properly, it could even tag the Third Prince, who attacked Castel, with the "evil" label, because... "only evil power would draw God’s wrath."

Charlotte thought so and did so.

Of course, she couldn’t really "borrow" the Divine Power of Divine Lord Haral, and the so-called plea for the Divine Lord’s power was just her implication and disguise...

In the "vision" of the spiritually drained Chairman Layton and other Spellcasters, the moment the girl’s prayer ended, holy radiance descended.

The deity answered Charlotte’s call, bestowing Divine Grace’s Blessing.

But in reality, that was not the case.

In Charlotte’s view, as her prayer concluded, a scarlet radiance suddenly radiated from her as the center, enveloping the entire Control Magic Cube.

That was the power of the Blood Divine Power she had activated.

And at the same time, all spellcasters enveloped by the Blood Divine Power found their gazes growing hazy...

"Illusory Perception."

This was an Illusion Magic System Spell of the Spirit Path that Charlotte mastered through the Holy Scripture Fragments after becoming a Bloodline member. It was also one of the Bloodline’s famed blood magic spells.

Its effect was to manipulate spiritual power to create illusions for the Infected One.

At this moment, Charlotte’s use of it aimed to craft a "Divine Miracle" scene in the eyes of all Transcendents who witnessed her power.

Such a large-scale illusion, covering dozens of Spellcasters at once, was actually very difficult to achieve if Charlotte had only relied on her own Silver Moon-tier strength, which would probably be insufficient.

But with the use of Blood Divine Power, it was different.

Bolstered by Divine Power, "Illusory Perception" also gained further enhancement. Right now, all mortals in the Mage Tower were drawn into the illusion of "Divine Grace Descending upon the World."

Of course, this illusion was confined within the Mage Tower, and the Divine Power that Charlotte released was also limited to the interior of the Mage Tower.

But that was enough.

Charlotte could neither achieve, nor did she need to actually display, "the Divine Lord’s Miracle" throughout the entire North Port.

She only had to make a portion of the people see and believe in everything they saw. This in itself was enough to explain her "sudden" surge of immense strength.

In the eyes of all who were present, a dazzling Holy Light erupted from Charlotte’s body. This Holy Light gradually merged with the core of the Magic Energy Center of the Mage Tower, and the Magic Energy Center was soon bathed in a sanctified glow.

In an instant, the originally faltering Magic Shield suddenly stabilized!

"God... Divine Grace... This is Divine Grace! Count, she has received a response from the deity!"

Witnessing the dazzling Holy Light, Chairman Layton was first stunned, then shocked, and finally fell into great excitement.

The other Mages and apprentices felt similarly.

Their pupils, dominated by the illusion, reflected astonishment, confusion, awe, and disbelief.

Naturally, exhilaration was most prominent among their emotions.

As for Charlotte, the "instigator," while she used illusions to dominate the perceptions of all Transcendents who witnessed her taking control of the Magic Defense System, she also officially intervened in the entire magic defense of North Port through the Blood Divine Power.

In the depths of her being, Charlotte felt a connection to a vast network that covered the whole of North Port.

As Divine Power kept circulating, covering the entire North Port’s magic defense network with a strength comparable to that of a Blazing Sun, Charlotte’s perception also spread with the release.

It was a very peculiar feeling.

To her amazement, Charlotte discovered that by leveraging the entire magic shield of North Port, she felt as though she merged with the entire city.

She could "see" every corner covered by the magic defense, she could "feel" every bombardment from the Duchy Fleet on North Port, and she could "clearly see" every action of the Bolder-Violet Alliance around North Port...

With a single intent from her heart, the magic shield enveloping North Port suddenly lit up!

Silver-blue brilliance blossomed, and the ethereal shield gradually solidified.

The extent of solidity was almost tangible, such that even those who knew nothing of magic could tell that the originally close-to-shattering Magic Defense had not only become stable but even more robust and powerful.

Meanwhile, through the magic defense network spread across the whole of North Port, Charlotte felt like she "saw" a world filled with speckled starlight in the unknown.

That was an innumerable array of brilliant stars.

The stars dotted the firmament-like magic network, and through those twinkling stars, Charlotte seemed to hear all sorts of voices...
