Tome of Blood

Chapter 674-21- Making History

From the ambush that destroyed the western continent, Charlotte had been thinking about how to defeat the Primal One.

The primordial power is omnipresent. As the extraordinary origin of the world of Miria, its aura has long been integrated with the world of Miria. That omnipresent magic can be seen as the primordial power diluted countless times.

Unlike other deities, the Creator God still possesses divinity and divine fire, but these are no longer the foundation of the Creator God.

Charlotte, who has already attained the status of a creator, deeply understands this point.

Once one enters this rank, the existence of the gods themselves becomes a fundamental law governing all things in the world.

As long as a trace of a deity's existence remains, and as long as the laws of the deity still exist in the world, even if the divine essence is shattered and the divine fire is extinguished, a god of the creation status can use this trace as an anchor to return directly.

This trace includes not only divine power, but also the memories of the creator god held by other intelligent beings.

This thread of law refers not only to the power of the gods, but also to how the gods use the law to transform the world.

In other words... unless the world of Miria, which was modified by the original, is destroyed, Charlotte has no way of killing the original.

So, another question arises: if the world of Miria is destroyed, can Charlotte kill the Primal?

Of course not.

Because even the Primordial One can flee, and no one can stop a Creator from escaping.

So... Charlotte only has one path left to choose from.

That is to separate the original power from the world of Miria, and then... imprison it in a cage from which it cannot escape, suppress it, and obliterate it!

From this perspective, Charlotte has indeed come up with an excellent cage!

That was her own body.

Or in other words, her "physical body" that stepped into the realm of creation, merging the power of the primordial and the power of the blood god!
This is not Charlotte's wild idea.

Back in her previous life, her physical body had already been targeted by the Primordial One.

Charlotte's body, having received the soul from another world, had long since acquired the same creation characteristics as the primordial power through the continuous transformation by the power of the Blood God, making it the best divine body for the primordial.

In addition, the power of blood, a creation law of the same level, is an excellent supplement to the primordial laws.

Therefore, given the opportunity, the Primal One would never have let go of the immense temptation to devour the power of the Blood God and possess Charlotte's body.

That's what was done in the beginning.

This time, observing her own growth from the perspective of the Blood Codex, Charlotte discovered a problem.

Even before she arrived, the Primal One had already noticed her and left the primal power on her.

In other words, it was inevitable that she would be devoured by the primordial and have her body taken over.

But this is not enough.

As I said before, the primordial power is everywhere.

Simply destroying the primal power that invaded the body is not enough to defeat the primal force.

She must make the Primal bet everything, make the Primal completely abandon the power that Miria once possessed, and make the Primal gamble everything to gather all its power into one place before she can obtain the opportunity to completely kill the Primal.

But how could the Primordial One possibly give up everything?

No.

There is still a possibility.

Charlotte's gaze fell on the grayish-white light that was gradually coalescing into a human shape in her sea of ​​consciousness, her crimson-gold eyes filled with icy coldness.

The unwillingness to give up everything, the unwillingness to gamble everything, is simply for the sake of stability, because there is still a way out.

So... all Charlotte needs to do is destroy the other party's escape route, and that will be enough.

As for this method...

Watching the primordial god gradually taking shape within her sea of ​​consciousness, Charlotte chuckled softly and said:
"Yuan Chu, if I'm not mistaken, you're actually not good at the laws of spacetime at all, right?"

"No, it's not that you're not good at it. It's more that... the laws of spacetime are not the foundation of your laws. 'Creation and destruction' are."

The foundation of laws!

If Charlotte's status was merely a forced accumulation when she first achieved the status of a creator, then... after thousands of years of accumulation, Charlotte has now completely mastered the power.

Indeed, the power of the creator god is omnipotent.

However, the power of the creator gods also varies.

This difference lies in the foundation of the laws established by the gods when one enters the realm of creation.

This fundamental law can be considered the creation law possessed by the creator being, which is more powerful than other laws controlled by the creator god, and at the same time... it is also the core law possessed by the creator god.

The primordial god possessed the power of creation and destruction.

And what about Charlotte?

What is the foundation of the laws that Charlotte possesses?

It's [space-time]!
That's right, the law that Charlotte used to elevate her to the status of a creator was not [devouring], nor [vampires], but [space and time]!
That was the foundation left behind by Lilith through countless cycles of reincarnation, the final gift that "Lilith" left to Charlotte from those now-vanished "historical" events!
Charlotte's repeated time travels laid the foundation for perfecting the ritual of ascending to higher rank!

Charlotte only gradually realized these things after she disguised herself as the Blood Codex.

This was the last gift left to her by the original Lilith in that initial history, in order to fight against the original Lilith.

And this will be Charlotte's strongest sword against the original!
Charlotte's gaze fell upon the grayish-white light that had condensed in her sea of ​​consciousness, her crimson-gold pupils frozen in ice.

She chuckled softly and revealed the key to victory:

"Yuan Chu, you're actually... afraid of me, aren't you?"

"You fear my ability to traverse history and overturn cause and effect. That's why you spared no expense to forcibly lock down the river of time."

"However, space and time are not the foundation of your laws; your foundation is creation and destruction."

"It is precisely because you are not skilled in this art that the forced locking caused the River of Time to shatter!"

“Now, although you have barely managed to mend the long river, I have already ascended to the realm of creation. We... have all reached the end of this river, reached the point where all of 'Lilith' and 'Charlotte' have fallen time and time again.”

"For you to end this endless cycle, you must completely take over my body and seize my [space-time] position."

"However, your deep connection with the world of Miria has also trapped you here. The characteristics of the [Space-Time] Law are 'transcendence' and 'infinity,' and you, who have confined yourself to one world, will never be able to meet the conditions to seize it."

"If you want my position, you must first gather all the power scattered throughout Miria and 'liberate' yourself, so—"

Charlotte's voice was resolute, carrying an all-knowing mockery:

"You must fight me inside my body. This is not your best option, but the power I displayed in the battle on the Western Continent has instilled true fear in you."

"You're afraid. You're afraid that if I travel through time again, I'll create variables that you can't control. So you had no choice but to come, no choice but to... step into this cage I've prepared for you!"

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the primordial god, formed from grayish-white light, spoke once more, carrying a chilling and ruthless will:

"so what?"

The radiance suddenly expanded, emanating a pressure that made the entire sea of ​​consciousness tremble.

"Charlotte Castells, how do you know this wasn't my own plan and expectation?"

boom--! ! !
An indescribable power surged instantly, surpassing the limits of imagination!
The primordial god no longer held back, unleashing all the extraordinary accumulation He had made over thousands of years in the world of Miria!

The pale divine light surged instantly, and its immense power, like the weight of the entire world condensed into a single point, crashed fiercely into Charlotte's will!

In an instant, the crimson sea of ​​consciousness let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain, collapsing and annihilating in large swathes, swallowed by the pale.

The battle was almost a one-sided rout.

With a wave of his hand, the cycle of creation and destruction gave rise to countless phantom worlds, which were then reduced to nothingness the moment they were born. The power that erupted between creation and destruction easily tore apart the divine power barriers that Charlotte had constructed.

Charlotte's figure was repeatedly repelled and torn apart in the pale light tide. Although she could instantly reassemble herself with her Creation Rank, her aura visibly weakened rapidly.

Her counterattack was like water splashing against a reef—futile and powerless.

"You have a good idea."

The figure of the Primordial God hovered high above the shattered sea of ​​consciousness, looking down at Charlotte, who was struggling to reconstruct her form, with absolute indifference and a hint of mockery in his will.

"Unfortunately, in the face of absolute power, all calculations are futile. Having integrated the accumulated power of the vast material world of Miria over thousands of years, I am far beyond the reach of a newcomer like you."

"You have no idea what true creative power is. No matter how many times you struggle or how many times you reincarnate, you cannot escape this difference in power."

The pale primordial power coiled upwards, beginning to penetrate and erode Charlotte's core soul, aiming to completely cover and erase her will, her memories, and everything about her.

However, at this seemingly final moment, Charlotte, who should have been in despair, suddenly... smiled.

That smile carried a hint of relief, and a hint of the satisfaction of a successful plan.

"Hehe, getting impatient."

She raised her head, her crimson-gold pupils reflecting his unparalleled figure. A slight smile played on her lips as she softly said:
"The beginning..."

"As expected, you don't understand [time and space]."

Om-!
A portal, indescribable in color, opened without warning behind Charlotte.

Behind the door lies a long-sealed river of time!
"History cannot be changed, but it can be created."

Charlotte's voice became ethereal and grand:
"You say my repeated reincarnations are in vain? No, each reincarnation is actually a strengthening, a... coordinate."

"Now, the cycle of time has come to an end, and you have opened the final cage with your own hands... From now on, it's my turn to shine."

"It is time to create... a history that belongs only to me, Charlotte Castel!"

After speaking, Charlotte opened her arms.

The river of time behind him suddenly expanded and became incredibly clear.

And in the rushing river, one identical figure after another emerged—

Golden hair and crimson eyes, he sat on the throne, a blood moon hung high, and divine power surged!
They are all Charlotte.

Charlotte, who, through different historical fragments and countless possible branches, overcame numerous dangers and ascended to the status of creator!

In the past, the history of Miria was locked in the original form, and these possible branches of history were thus obliterated.

But now that the Primal Ones have returned to their rightful place and their power has been withdrawn from the world of Miria, they have reappeared!
At this very moment, Charlotte directly opened a portal to space and time, bringing all of her "parallel universe" counterparts over!

One, two, ten, a hundred...

Countless dazzling streams of light were forcibly extracted and drawn from the depths of the void of history.

Each of them carries their own unique divine power of creation and thousands of years of accumulation. At this moment, under Charlotte's guidance in the present world, they transform into the purest laws and torrents of power, transcending the boundaries of time and space, and briefly merging with her!

With each figure she merged with, Charlotte's aura surged even more!
Her power level increased exponentially, instantly breaking through a certain limit and reaching a level that even the Primordial One felt a chill!

In an instant, the overwhelming pale divine power was pushed back and compressed by the even more vast and profound crimson radiance!
"This is impossible!"

"History is already set in stone, and you've already transcended the river of time, so how can so many 'possibilities' still arise?!"

For the first time, an emotion called "horror" appeared in the previously indifferent will of the primordial god.

But soon, He realized something and stared intently at Charlotte:
"I...I know, it was just now! It was the 'you' you sent back to ancient times just now!"

"You...didn't close the time portal immediately, you were waiting for me...to escape from Miria!"

Charlotte smiled:
"It seems you're not entirely ignorant about [time and space] after all."

"But unfortunately, it was too late."

The first sign of panic appeared.

He wanted to retreat and sever the connection, but found that the primal power that had invaded this place was tightly bound by countless invisible chains of time and space, like a flying insect trapped in amber, unable to be pulled back!

"Time and space mean infinite possibilities, but also a single end point."

Charlotte stood in the center of her mind, her aura now completely overwhelming the original.

She looked down at the struggling, pale light and delivered her final verdict:

"Now……"

"You can't escape it, it's you."
