The moment Charlotte "descended," the fate of the Judgment Knights was already sealed.

Dazzling Holy Power erupted, illuminating the entire underground cave, and the Judgment Knights composing the Magic Energy Formation didn't even utter a scream before turning to ashes in the radiance.

Charlotte didn't even need to further use her Blood Divine Power; just by borrowing the Faith Network of the Holy Royal Court, she swept the entirety of the Sun believers from the underground cave.

In the platinum light, only Great Judge Francesco, holding high the Holy Codex, struggled to persist.

Legendary is indeed legendary; merely relying on borrowed Holy Power was insufficient to end his life.

But even so, crimson blood continuously flowed from the corners of his mouth and nostrils, evidently he was heavily wounded in the confrontation with Holy Power.

Charlotte was somewhat surprised.

Through the link with the Faith Network of the Holy Royal Court, she could also sense the Great Judge's link with the Faith Network.

These veteran Sun Divine Palace believers truly had a way to connect to the Holy Royal Court's Faith Network and steal Holy Power!

It's no wonder the Guardian's Staff was cautious. Facing these Sun believers capable of using Holy Power, were it not also a "transmigrator," it would be hard to detect.

Charlotte's gaze naturally fell upon the heavy codex in the Great Judge's hand.

She could feel the powerful Divine Power within it.

That was also a Divine Artifact.

At this moment, she saw the Great Judge's expression of terror quickly turn into a grimace, yet within that grimace, there was madness and determination:

"God says! All evil shall be purified under the sun's brilliance!"

He raised the Holy Codex high, screaming a new Holy Word Decree.

Vast platinum Divine Power erupted from the codex, then... condensed into a symbol of the sun.

Soon after, that platinum Divine Power transformed into an incandescent light like sunlight, but within that incandescent light, it seemed to carry an eerie pallor.

With the appearance of this incandescent Divine Power, a vast ancient aura spread out centered on Great Judge Francesco.

More blood splattered from the Great Judge; blue veins bulged on his face and arms, as if his blood vessels would burst in the next moment.

Clearly, the Divine Arts he was casting had vastly exceeded his capability.

But similarly, that incandescent Divine Power grew unprecedentedly vast, its ethereal pressure even surpassed the Divine Mighty of Charlotte's descent!

"God says... all evil shall be purified under the sun's brilliance!"

The Great Judge roared again, and the incandescent Divine Power transformed into a fiercely burning Divine Sword which then slashed towards Charlotte!

Boom—!

Amid the earth-shaking tumult, Charlotte was engulfed by the incandescent Divine Power.

"Master (Lord Charlotte)—!"

Sebastian and Nisi couldn't help but exclaim.

Yet in the next moment, the incandescent Divine Power which ought to have spread and destroyed everything suddenly contracted, just like smoke being sucked in, swiftly retreating.

Charlotte's form reappeared, unharmed, while the Divine Sword formed by the incandescent Divine Power continually shrank at her extended fingertips, eventually... vanished.

"I see, it's about stealing Holy Power to transform into Sun God's Fallen Divine Power..."

Charlotte opened her palm, thoughtfully observing the rotating incandescent Divine Power in her hand.

It had lost its fury, circulating like the most docile lamb in her palm.

Then, scarlet flames burned in Charlotte's palm, and when the flame-like Blood Divine Power flowed onto the incandescent light sphere, it quickly devoured it.

When the scarlet subsided, her palm held nothing visible.

The great Judge Francesco's summoned Divine Power had been absorbed by Charlotte.

"This... can't be!"

The Great Judge widened his eyes, full of disbelief.

He trembled slightly, then directly collapsed onto the ground.

"Nothing is impossible."

Charlotte lowered her hand, looking down at him, her voice as calm as ever:

"You can use the Divine Artifact to convert Holy Power into Sun Divine Power; I can naturally transform your Sun Divine Power into my Divine Power. After all, these three powers fundamentally have the same origin."

The Great Judge opened his mouth as if wanting to say something.

But in the next moment, the sparkle in his eyes gradually faded.

However, as the sparkle faded, his lips suddenly curved slightly, revealing a peculiar arc.

At the same time, Charlotte sensed the life signs of Great Judge Francesco also disappeared.

Charlotte frowned slightly.

As a demigod, her perception of life had become vastly different.

In her perception, at the instant of Great Judge Francesco's death, his soul also shattered.

A chilling breeze blew from the depths of the cave; the Great Judge's body trembled slightly, then turned to ashes like sand.

Just like... the Bloodline Elves on Moon God Island.

Charlotte's expression immediately grew solemn.

With a slight gesture, the ashes on the ground flew into Charlotte's hands, and gazing at the ashes, she fell into contemplation.

"Meow! Lord Charlotte! You arrived just in time! I really thought I was going to meet my end here just now!"

Seeing Charlotte take down the enemy, Nisi joyously came over, flamboyantly praising her.

Charlotte smiled but didn't offer much explanation.

She naturally arrived on time, as she had been following since the two infiltrated the Judgement Court.

Indeed, Charlotte hadn't relied on the two's summoning to descend.

After learning the truth from the Guardian's Staff, she decided to hide her form and follow the pair to uncover the truth.

The Charlotte that went for rescue above ground was actually a decoy, impersonated by the Guardian's Staff through Holy Power.

This was because Charlotte worried about Nisi and Sebastian encountering unexpected situations and being unable to promptly summon her.

Since it was essentially a distraction, upon closer consideration, she realized she didn't need to use herself as a bait.

And facts proved her hypothesis was correct.

"Master, he..."

Sebastian's gaze fell on the ashes on the ground, his expression showing a hint of surprise.

"He's dead, he, like those Bloodline Elves of Moon God Island, is... some kind of 'puppet.'"

Charlotte said.

"As expected... is that so."

Sebastian murmured thoughtfully.

"Like the puppets of Moon God Island's Bloodline Elves?"

Nisi was stunned for a moment, his expression turning solemn.

"Indeed, I think... the Church Authority Country, like Moon God Island, had been infiltrated by the Sun Divine Palace years ago, and many of the Sun believers there might unknowingly be 'puppets.'"

Charlotte said.

"That's right! Meow! Lord Charlotte! We've found out what they're up to! They're summoning Blood Demon Duke! They're planning to use him against you!"

Seeming to recall something, Nisi quickly said.

As he spoke, he pointed with his cat paw toward the distant altar:

"That's their summoning altar!"

Charlotte's gaze fell upon the distant summoning altar, then she softly shook her head:

"That's not their true altar. The altar they intend to summon... should have been relocated."

"Not the true altar?"

Sebastian was taken aback.

Charlotte walked to the altar, her gaze passing over the emblem of the demon eye belonging to the Blood Demon Duke, saying:

"Summoning the Evil God requires having a container, but there's no container here, so... it's not the true altar."

No... container?

Nisi couldn't help but glance at Charlotte, remembering the night years ago at Bold Castel Manor.

In his knowledge, it was that night's 'Evil God Summon' that allowed the Blood True Ancestor to 'possess' Charlotte's body.

Sebastian's expression mirrored his, apparently thinking likewise.

"So, it's not the summoning altar of myths, but if it's not the true summoning altar, then what's its purpose?"

Sebastian frowned, asking.

Charlotte's gaze fell upon the groove extending into the darkness beneath the altar, finally settling on the thousands who lost their minds, transformed into Blood Demon bloodlines, and sighed:

"There're many types of summoning arrays for Blood Demon Duke, and there's one that forcibly absorbs the bloodline power of other bloodlines."

"If my judgment is correct, the real purpose of this altar is probably to absorb the bloodline power of the imprisoned bloodlines here."

Nisi's expression slightly changed:

"I'm aware of that array; it's said to require sacrificing soul power... and, preferably, the power of the offerings!"

As he spoke, his gaze couldn't help but fall on those cages imprisoning Blood Demons.

Charlotte nodded, sighing:

"Indeed, these bloodlines... their souls have been destroyed; though still alive, they have become irreversible monsters, essentially akin to death."

The bloodlines transformed into Blood Demons through Bloodline Frenzy Charlotte could still appease, allowing them to regain sanity.

Not to mention Bloodline Rage, even if polluted by Primordial Power, Charlotte can find a way to reverse it.

But the bloodlines in this cave cannot be saved.

The soul is an area where even myths struggle to work miracles; in Charlotte's perception, many of these 'Blood Demons' have lost their souls, merely living as a mutated body relying on strong bloodline power.

And judging by these 'Blood Demons' clothing, they seem to be bloodlines from the Yonette Peninsula, and likely many from the Eastern Yonette Black Land and Coria Kingdom.

"Master, how should we deal with these bloodlines then?"

Sebastian couldn't help but ask.

Glancing at the bloodlines completely transformed into monsters, Charlotte sighed:

"Let them... rest in peace."
