"Indeed, the Crimson Queen herself had already fallen."

"Quiet! Charlotte de Castel, I respect you as a Favored of the deity, but that doesn't mean I can tolerate your blasphemy against our Lord!"

Upon hearing Charlotte's words, the Great Prophet Margo's expression changed drastically, her face showing anger as she scolded loudly.

"Blasphemy?"

Charlotte paused slightly.

Her gaze swept over the blood-drenched altar and various offerings in front of the tumor, and with a light sigh, she said,

"Offering the residual power of the Old Gods as sacrifices, and merging the bloodlines of various Mythical creatures..."

"Great Prophet, do you truly understand what you are doing?"

"If we're talking about blasphemy, the ceremony you are preparing for the deity...is the real blasphemy, isn't it?"

Great Prophet Margo stepped in front of Charlotte and said coldly,

"I am merely carrying out the Oracle of our Lord. It is the path our Lord has chosen, the most arduous path. You cowardly deserters could never understand our Lord's hardship."

"Blasphemy? Hmm, if we must speak of blasphemy, your intrusion is the real blasphemy against the deity. By acting this way, does the Holy Royal Court intend to declare war on our Lord?"

Charlotte shook her head:

"Great Prophet, please don't be angry. I bear no ill will towards Harcos, and I do not represent the Holy Royal Court either. I admit my spying was impolite, but I simply do not wish to see you, nor the Harcos Clan, walking down a mistaken path."

That said, she looked towards the tumor, saying,

"This... must be what they call the Crimson Queen, right? Forgive my bluntness, but I can no longer sense any divine will from it. If it truly is Crimson Queen Royena, then I think... it must have been 'once'."

"I can guess what you intend to do; if I'm not mistaken, you want to use the 'Laws' of other deities to help Queen Royena refine her Laws, or perhaps... to help Queen Royena 'resurrect'?"

"Leaving aside whether the Laws of the Gods can really complement each other, merging forces from various origins, in my view, is just a meaningless accumulation."

"Great Prophet, forgive my directness, but the plan you have in mind is useless for God Ascension, and it certainly cannot resurrect a Fallen God. What it can do, at best, is to create a 'Monster' with a power akin to that of deities."

"Quiet!"

Great Prophet Margo replied with anger:

"You are merely a lackey of the Holy Royal Court, ignorant of everything; do not spout nonsense here!"

"I must emphasize again, our Lord has not Fallen; this is merely a part of our Lord's plan."

"Our Lord has not turned Fallen; our Lord has willingly transformed into this form, a process of being broken before being established."

"Being broken before being established?"

Charlotte showed surprise.

She looked unexpectedly at the pieces of flesh on the Divine Throne, becoming somewhat startled:

"Are you suggesting that these pieces of flesh are truly the original form of the Crimson Queen?"

Great Prophet Margo subconsciously nodded, then frowned and scolded:

"What pieces of flesh? Mind your words!"

"This is the Holy Body of our Lord! It is also a stage that our Lord must go through for Nirvana!"

"The power of the Bloodline comes from blood, but it is also limited by blood."

"As a True God, the Blood True Ancestor created the Bloodline, bringing transcendent power to the Bloodline, but also limiting the power of the Bloodline."

"No member of the Bloodline can truly reach the Rank of a True God, not even a Prince with the most extraordinary talents."

"Only the True Ancestor can reach the Rank of a True God!"

"It is for this reason that our Lord chose this arduous path and transformed into this form."

"But this is only temporary..."

"After the God-Conferring Ceremony concludes, after my Lord ascends to become a true Mythical being, my Lord will naturally end this unique state and return to His original form!"

Having said this, the Great Prophet Margo then turned toward Charlotte, saying,

"Lord Charlotte, I do not know by what means you entered my Lord's Holy Hall. If you truly bear no ill will toward my Harcos clan, please cease this blasphemous intrusion immediately!"

Charlotte shook her head:

"Intrusion? Sorry, but I am actually observing openly right now."

"Um… don't look at me with such an angry expression. I really mean no harm. Otherwise, I would have already taken action to disrupt your ceremony."

"You are Legendary, you must understand that to sabotage something is always much easier than to facilitate it."

"Rather, my direct conversation with you is in and of itself a gesture of sincerity."

"After all… if I really bore any hostility, would it not be more meaningful for me to disrupt your ceremony at its critical moment than merely revealing myself before you now?"

"You see, you haven't expelled me yet. I think I should assume that you really can't do anything about me, can I?"

"Since that is the case, why can't we continue this discussion?"

"After all, even the deity you worship hasn't expelled me. Could this be another form of recognition toward me?"

Hearing Charlotte's words, the Great Prophet Margo slightly furrowed her brow.

Though reluctant to admit it, she indeed had not detected the other's intrusion before.

Rather, even now, she had not figured out how the other's projection appeared inside the Divine Hall.

She didn't even know which power the other side was using.

Moreover, although the state of Her Majesty was not good, a deity is still a deity.

This Divine Hall was Her Majesty's home ground, also marked by Her Mythical prohibitions, which are Divine Arts transcending all spells in their permanence and intensity; not even Legends could probe it.

No, not even a Demigod would suffice.

Even for a Demigod, rashly intruding into the Holy Hall would undoubtedly cause a commotion.

In other words, without Her Majesty's permission, other forces cannot infiltrate.

From this perspective, the fact that the other party could project from afar and boldly talk big here might indeed be with Her Majesty's "tacit consent"...

Of course, his actions, which could well be termed profane, also truly infuriated her.

Thinking this way, the Great Prophet Margo calmed her emotions and regained some tranquility:

"Queen Charlotte, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Just want to understand the real situation a little, and incidentally, prevent the Harcos Clan from making a grave mistake and tidy up any potential mess," Charlotte said.

Having said this, she looked toward the altar and continued:

"To be honest, although I do not approve of the ceremony, if you truly wish to proceed, I will not stop you."

"There's an old saying from my homeland: 'One won't see the light until they hit the coffin.' Although I can almost foresee what you will 'create' after performing the ritual, I know I cannot persuade you right now."

"After all... you have been preparing for so many years."

"In that case, please allow me to observe from the side."

"If everything goes as you wish, and the divine ascension is successful, naturally everyone will rejoice; but if something does go wrong, perhaps I can still be of some help."

"I wonder, what do you think of my suggestion?"
