The surging divine power transformed into a dream-like radiance, and under its unstoppable might, the ancient elf relic completely turned into a barren land.

Only within the storm of divine power, two deities surrounded by platinum and crimson glows stood in confrontation.

The crimson blood divine power flowed around Charlotte, her eyes, long turned to golden red, reflected the figure of the platinum deity, her beautiful face full of complexity.

Charlotte had envisioned many scenarios of her reunion with Haral.

But she had never thought it would unfold in such circumstances as now.

Although she had vaguely suspected the "Sun God Helios" identity before, when everything was truly revealed at that moment, she couldn't help but feel a shock within her heart.

The Sun God "Helios" who had always been opposing her... was actually "Haral"!

Had "Sun God Helios" devoured and stolen "Divine Lord Haral's" identity?

No...

Appearances can be disguised and deceived, but the soul cannot be.

Divine power can be seized and used, but the bloodline cannot be.

At the moment when the sun mask shattered, in Charlotte's consciousness the crimson star sea representing various bloodlines almost simultaneously fell into upheaval, and one of the only remaining two "suns" representing the "demigod bloodline" exploded with dazzling radiance, deeply linking with the platinum deity before her.

This was something Charlotte could never mistake, because whenever a bloodline resonance occurred with her, it would be just the same.

And now, the one resonating with her bloodline was none other than the "Sun God Helios" right before her!

Or more accurately, it was Haral who had removed his mask and no longer hid the fluctuations of his divine soul and bloodline origin!

This was also the point that caused shock and even confusion within Charlotte.

She had guessed about Haral's position being taken by Helios, and conjectured about "Creation Will" intending to resurrect from Haral.

But regardless of whether it was position seizure or ancient god's resurrection, it would inevitably disrupt her bloodline connection with "Haral"—that was the blood oath she made when saving Haral back then, a dual contract established on a soul dimension and bloodline dimension.

Yet Haral before her was the same in both divine soul aura and bloodline fluctuation as she remembered; Charlotte could even feel her own bloodline suppression over him—that symbolized the blood oath between them still existed.

If she wished, she could at any time wield the power of her bloodline to suppress the "sun" representing him in the crimson star sea and thereby suppress his power!

In other words, the deity before her was never seized of his position by Helios; He was who He was, He was Haral!

But… why would Haral look at her with such hatred?

Moreover, why hide his identity and proclaim himself as Sun God Helios?

No, this isn't merely a self-proclamation.

Charlotte recalled that last time when she crossed history, she forced "Helios" out of that era in that god war.

"Sun God Helios" pursued her into that era, eventually was defeated by her and Moon God Artemis, Sea King Oceanus's joint effort.

Neither Oceanus nor the Sun God's sister, Artemis, ever doubted his identity as "Helios."

A deity cannot mistake another deity's identity, let alone with one of them being Helios's sister.

This unavoidably led Charlotte to another absurd and bold conjecture—

Could it be... Haral himself, in truth, was Sun God Helios?!

The Sun God Helios was never suppressed like described in ancient elven scriptures within the shattered West Continent but rather reborn in some manner akin to resurrection in the Mireya world?

And furthermore... reincarnated as the little boy she knew who followed Lilith around and called her teacher, Haral?

Charlotte's divine fire burned fiercely, divine position operated at high speed, quickly computing and deducing everything currently, soon pointing to a possible scenario.

This was not entirely impossible.

Especially since Charlotte herself had always been confused by one point—

Holy Power is an external manifestation of Primordial Power, and Haral'd already possessed Holy Power long before he deified, before his acquaintance with Charlotte, but back when Charlotte traveled through time, he already had such power.

An ordinary child from an ordinary tribe controlling primordial power was not coincidental at all.

In the world where deities exist, every coincidence is a necessity, every miracle... has the shadow of a deity behind.

And this also stirred another thought within Charlotte.

Meeting with Haral and Lilith after traveling through history was also some form of "coincidence"?

Of course, the above were all guesses Charlotte made combining past doubts amid her shock.

These guesses were not flawless and even contained things difficult to explain.

For instance, if Helios and Haral were the same person, then according to Charlotte's "homologous substitution" principle while traveling through time, he should have substituted Haral's position as she substituted Lilith's position.

But in reality, "Helios" and "Haral" appeared in the same time-space, and Artemis did not consider Haral beside Charlotte as her elder brother Helios's "reincarnation."

Charlotte's thoughts were in turmoil.

However, her musings soon ceased under Haral's nearly "conclusive" words:

"Long time no see, my dear teacher. You seem calmer than I expected, or is it... you had already anticipated this moment today?"

It was a tone filled with sarcasm and banter, faintly even carrying an air that seemed infused into his bones—transcendence and arrogance.

The tone was no longer like Harald's, but rather high and mighty, indistinguishable from that of "Helios."

Besides, there seemed to be some kind of suppressed wariness and dread as He looked at Charlotte, with not only hostility but also vigilance in those golden pupils.

Charlotte could roughly guess what the other was wary of.

She exhaled lightly, connecting her divine power to the Crimson Star Sea, with her crimson-gold eyes tinged with a deep scarlet:

"Harald, you've changed."

The Blood Divine Power subtly activated, quietly triggering the Bloodline Suppression.

At this moment, Charlotte's voice also became vast and ethereal, just a sigh seemed to carry a peculiar force—majestic, solemn, and not to be lightly defied, like a sovereign questioning its follower.

This was Charlotte invoking the Bloodline Suppression of the True Ancestor.

The brilliance on "Harald" visibly dimmed.

And faintly, Charlotte sensed herself seemingly connecting with a familiar will in the invisible realm.

It appeared to be the "Harald" across from her, yet it wasn't "Harald."

"Harald's" expression slightly changed, but quickly returned to normal as the divine power ignited—something that Charlotte was very familiar with, the Holy Power, but layered with a blazing intensity akin to sunlight.

The Holy Power dispelled the Bloodline Suppression, severing Charlotte's perception almost instantly, and "Harald's" demeanor changed almost immediately, as if becoming another person.

"I merely regained my true self; thanks to you, all my plans have been severely impacted... wasting away thousands of years."

He said coldly.

The true self?

A dual personality?

Or perhaps... Primordial Pollution?

Charlotte's heart stirred.

She was quite sure she had just communicated through the bloodline link with something.

Not another soul or consciousness, but a kind of suppressed, hidden will of the same origin as the current "Harald."

Like the other side of a mirror, although it was fleeting, Charlotte sharply sensed the change in "Harald's" aura.

This discovery made Charlotte's heart skip a beat:

The "Harald" before her seemed unstable; perhaps... she could utilize the link from the Bloodline Contract to use the impact of the Blood Divine Power to retrieve the "Harald" she was familiar with!

'I need an opportunity, a moment to inject massive Blood Divine Power into His Divine Soul swiftly. If it is indeed personality pollution, perhaps I can awaken the persona within His Divine Soul belonging to Harald!'

Charlotte thought to herself.

This idea was risky and challenging.

No other reason than the fact that the "Harald" before her was not less powerful than her.

No.

He had devoured many sub-gods of the Holy Royal Court; His true strength could only be greater than Charlotte's!

Moreover, Charlotte could feel that the other was stripping away the Bloodline Power from herself, and her connection with Him was rapidly weakening...

She had to act quickly before the bloodline link was severed, and... had to hit the mark in one strike!

With this thought, Charlotte swung her divine power, causing the light of the Moon Dream Heart to explode further, once again enveloping "Harald"!

However, at this moment, the divine artifact Moon Dream Heart suddenly flickered, bursting out with an unfamiliar silver divine power.

In just an instant, the control of the Moon Dream Heart was stripped away, while simultaneously, a silver moon-like divine form appeared in "Harald's" hand.

Charlotte's gaze narrowed.

It was the Moon God Artemis's divine form!

With the reveal of the Moon God's divine form, the control over the Moon Dream Heart was instantly taken away, and the light originally enveloping "Harald" immediately shifted to Charlotte.

In an instant, Charlotte felt her power being suppressed by more than half, and the surrounding time and space were sealed and immobilized.

"Harald" remained expressionless.

He held the Moon God's divine form, looking down at Charlotte with mockery in His tone:

"Eternal Night, did you truly think I couldn't break your sensing of the Bloodline Power?"

"I've been waiting for you here for a long time, not for you to find me, but because I need you to come."

"I've told you many times, even if you can cross time and space and alter history repeatedly, you cannot change the destined outcome."

"Just like my Sun King Court, even if you redo it once, even if you twist it, twist me, it will ultimately belong to me, and I will inevitably return."

"This is a conclusion that has already happened, and it is the destined conclusion."

"And you, my dear 'teacher,' you will ultimately become my final piece of the puzzle, helping me ascend with the power of all myths to reach the true pinnacle!"

After speaking, the robust Holy Power erupted from "Harald," while Charlotte sensed her control over the Faith Network of the Holy Royal Court being directly severed by an irresistible force.
