Honestly, Charlotte didn't like Yabaton.

First impressions really do matter.

When Charlotte crossed into the Mireya World, the first crisis she encountered was related to this Blood Demon Duke, and the Blood Demon Church repeatedly became her enemy. For a long time, she always considered Yabaton as a formidable adversary to deal with.

This perception even continued into Charlotte's crossing through history.

Even when she saw Yabaton in another time and space two thousand years ago, she still found it difficult to see him as just an ordinary follower. Even granting him Bloodline Power was a decision made after intense hesitation, worried that it might have too great an impact on history.

Charlotte knew that Yabaton had always admired her.

At least two thousand years ago, he greatly admired her.

He always pursued her, always longed for her acknowledgment. In that era of battling the Old Gods, Yabaton continually charged forward, fearlessly fighting the enemy, all in pursuit of her approval and praise.

But Charlotte found it really hard to get over that hurdle in her heart.

Especially every time she thought of when she first crossed over and was nearly killed, and that moment when she locked eyes with him during the bloodline sacrifice.

Charlotte couldn't forget the chaotic, evil, and violent aura she sensed that time, even though she has now become a Demigod.

Moreover, Charlotte found it hard to forgive everything that the Blood Demon Duke and the Blood Demon Church had done over the millennia; it was pure evil and chaos.

So... she had almost never responded to Yabaton.

But now, she felt she might have been wrong.

Everything people see isn't necessarily true.

Looking at Yabaton, who had become more seasoned and mature compared to two thousand years ago, but still maintained a look of admiration, Charlotte realized that the current Blood Demon Duke... had not changed much from the young demon she met during her historical crossing.

At least, now the Blood Demon Duke was like that.

As for why he had fallen over these two thousand years, especially in the past thousand years, the reason was quite apparent.

Yabaton... like Royena and Cosy, was contaminated by Primordial Power.

Moreover, he was likely controlled by Helios, who had long mastered the Primordial Power.

Not just the Blood Demon Duke, the Blood Demon Church was the same.

As the cult organization that the Holy Royal Court most wanted to eliminate, the Blood Demon Church always managed to thrive in the core dioceses of the Holy Royal Court, which was a point of confusion for Charlotte.

Previously, Charlotte believed it was because the Blood Demon Duke was the only Demigod among all the Bloodline Princes who hadn't completely slumbered, capable of offering protection to the Blood Demon Church. But now, considering recent events, this too seemed to be the handiwork of the Sun Divine Palace.

The Sun Divine Palace... needed the Blood Demon Church to collect Bloodline Power and simultaneously weaken the Holy Royal Court's strength to facilitate Helios's seizure of power from the Holy Royal Court.

Of course, it's all over now.

Yabaton... ultimately regained his self at the most critical moment, aiding Charlotte in slaying Helios, and all the scheming of the Sun Divine Palace fell through in the end.

However, Charlotte still couldn't be pleased.

"What if you sink into the dark? Even if you are devoured by the Primordial, I can pull you back from the abyss."

Looking at Yabaton, who refused her rescue, Charlotte said in a deep voice.

A milky white radiance emerged, spreading a palpable aura.

Meanwhile, the ground beneath Charlotte erupted with vibrant life.

New grass budded, flowers blossomed, even the demons around could feel their Life Force suddenly seeming to be greatly nourished, rapidly increasing.

This was Charlotte's greatest trump card, purified Primordial Power.

It could devour all powers, including the Primordial.

The milky white radiance spread, enveloping Yabaton.

However, when this power made contact with Yabaton, the Fallen Primordial Aura upon him not only wasn't uprooted, but instead deteriorated further at an even faster rate.

Watching Yabaton's aura turn instantly chaotic and evil, Charlotte's expression changed completely.

She quickly withdrew the Primordial Power and then looked at Yabaton with shock and uncertainty:

"This is..."

"This is the purest evil... belonging to Him... the purest evil..."

Yabaton said.

His voice grew weaker, his deep gaze lingered slightly on the few followers behind Charlotte, and then said:

"True Ancestor, I... heard His voice, felt His aura..."

"The one who polluted me... wasn't Helios... nor was it the forces I devoured... but... Him who wants to awaken from the dark..."

Charlotte's expression changed slightly.

She knew whom Yabaton was speaking about.

The only thing that could be deemed the purest evil was the Primordial Evil.

Yabaton... wasn't simply eroded by the Primordial Aura, nor was he merely controlled by Helios.

He, like the Sun God Helios, was "polluted" by the Primordial Will, or rather... the will of the creator!

Thinking this, Charlotte's heart grew heavy.

This was already beyond the scope of what she could "purify" at present.

"He will not awaken. Helios has already fallen, so His awakening will be delayed. And I will reach that position before His eventual awakening."
