Chapter 52

"Your mother didn't tell you who your father is, did she?"

Little Mo shakes her head. Although she had some guesses, she didn't dare to confirm. Seeing this, Lin Ye also says to her:

"Actually... your father... this is really awkward. Alright, let's put it this way: you are an artificial human cloned by Morgan using her own genes and King Arthur's genes, so... King Arthur should be considered your father?"

"What!"

In an instant, Mordred's face is filled with surprise!

Really! She is actually the child of the King she admires most! Although she is an artificial human, the blood of King Arthur truly flows in her body!

"I am King Arthur's child! Hehe! I am King Arthur's child!"

Little Mo is excited beyond measure. She immediately looks at the simulation screen.

Upon learning this, you are immediately excited and want to rush over to ask King Arthur, but Lin Ye grabs you.

At this moment, you see Lin Ye saying to you:

"You're just going to go find her like this? Have you thought about whether she knows about you?"

"Ah?" You are stunned, because you have never thought about this question.

Seeing you like this, Lin Ye tells you. Actually, Artoria does not know of your existence. If you go find her now, she will definitely be caught off guard. Moreover, in the eyes of others, Artoria is alone and pure. If you go find her and force her to acknowledge you, what kind of blow will that cause her? Are you willing to see a stain left on King Arthur's name because of yourself?

"This..."

Outside the screen, Mordred is indeed hesitant. At first, she really thought about going directly to King Arthur to acknowledge her parentage, but she really hadn't considered how Artoria would feel.

Immediately after, Lin Ye tells you again.

"Actually, Artoria and I are lovers, and Artoria doesn't care about this throne. What she wants to see is for the people of Great Britain to be happy, and when the time comes, she will retire with honor.

If you learn to govern the country from me now and make great contributions, you will be famous and loved by the people. When the time is right, we will let you be crowned King, and then reveal your identity. At that time, with the whole country united, will you still be afraid that Artoria won't accept you?"

Hmm?

Little Mo is suddenly stunned. This... sounds really reliable.

Of course it's reliable.

Lin Ye's thinking is very simple. Although Mordred was born for various reasons, she is indeed Artoria's bloodline. Moreover, little Mo is so cute... no, little Mo is currently so ignorant, like a blank sheet of paper.

If Morgan draws on her, then little Mo might become a black sheet; if he draws on her, then she remains a blank sheet.

As for what the King Arthur of Pan-Human History said, she was right—little Mo at that time indeed lacked the capacity of a King. But just because little Mo at that time didn't have it doesn't mean the little Mo of the future won't!

If he cultivates her, it will be just right for Artoria to retire gloriously later.

Mordred is clearly tempted.

"It's a simulation anyway, why not... give it a try?"

Just as you are about to agree, your mother Morgan suddenly appears beside you.

She tells you loudly:

"Don't believe this man's words. Follow the method I taught you. Defeat Artoria and you can become King just the same!"

Looking at the mother who appeared, you now choose:

Option 1: Believe in Lin Ye. From now on, work diligently and study constantly, striving to become King.

Option 2: Believe in Morgan. Aim for rebellion, overthrow King Arthur, and become King yourself.

"This..." Looking at the two options in front of her, Mordred continues to struggle. And at this moment, she also sees a sentence Lin Ye says to her in the virtual screen:

"Don't you want Artoria to say to you personally, 'My child, I am proud of you'?"

Seeing this sentence, Mordred's eyes light up, and then she shouts loudly and decisively:

"I choose one!!!"

At this moment, Morgan, who is also watching the simulation screen, suddenly collapses to the ground. Seeing her last child also join Artoria's camp, she finally says helplessly:

"Just destroy it, I'm tired, really."

(PS: Anyway, I feel that in little Mo's eyes, the King's recognition is more important than the throne of Great Britain.)

Morgan is truly tired. What kind of things are these children of mine? If you help me properly, you will be above everyone else later!

But following my useless sister, you can only be a knight charging into battle; what's so good about that!

Morgan looks directly at the virtual screen.

Seeing Mordred make her choice, you are so angry you want to leave. But seeing you turn around, Lin Ye suddenly stops you.

"Wait a moment."

Seeing Lin Ye stop her, Morgan glares at him angrily. "What do you want? You want to keep me here?"

Morgan believes that in Great Britain, she cannot beat Lin Ye, but if she wants to leave, no one can keep her.

And at this moment, Lin Ye looks at you and says, "Great Britain is ultimately ruled by King Arthur. You are Artoria's sister and also Mordred's mother. Your plan will inevitably lead to Great Britain being bathed in blood. Is this what you want to see?"

Lin Ye knows that Morgan's love for Great Britain is very deep. In FGO 2.0, Bedivere once summoned Morgan, who was of the Ruler class. But because Morgan loved Great Britain and did not want to see it become a ruin, she gave her memories to the Morgan of the past in this parallel world through time jumping.

If she loves the Great Britain of a parallel world so much, how much would she love this real land beneath her feet?

You listen to Lin Ye's words and then tell him directly:

"You're right. If so, why don't you let Artoria give the throne to me?"

"She has more experience than you."

"Experience can be cultivated. Isn't it just because she is your woman that you help her so much?"

"This..."

Lin Ye is truly a bit speechless. After all, what Morgan said is the truth; he is helping her precisely because Artoria is his woman.

If his woman were Morgan, he might really help Morgan overthrow King Arthur's rule.

That's right, Lin Ye is just that double-standard. But you can't really admit it!

Thus, from Mordred's perspective, the scene between the two is like this:

Seeing Morgan accusing Lin Ye, Lin Ye says to Morgan:

"You should know about the parallel world, right? If I tell you that in one parallel world you did indeed become the ruler of Great Britain, would you believe me?"

"Of course I believe it." Morgan is very confident; she truly believes that if it weren't for Lin Ye's interference, according to her plan, this Great Britain would have been hers long ago.

Thus, you see Lin Ye telling Morgan a story about Morgan ruling Great Britain.

Lin Ye uses illusion to project for you and Morgan what he calls the FGO Lostbelt. Thus, you see that in this world, fairies rule all of Great Britain!

You see the young Vivian/Morgan simply wanting to build a fairy-tale kingdom where everyone can live in harmony, but she is resisted by those fairies. Countless fairies are killed, and Vivian/Morgan is also killed. The sky of Orkney sheds blood-like tears, and all of Great Britain is turned into ruins by the subsequent Great Calamity.

"Impossible! This is fake!" Morgan subconsciously wants to deny everything Lin Ye projected for her; she wants to say this is all illusion and not real at all!

However, this illusion is too real, even detailed to a terrifying degree. If Lin Ye could conceive and construct such a world himself, wouldn't his illusion surpass Merlin's!

"No! This is because the Morgan of that world was too naive! Yes, that's it! If it were me, I would definitely do better than her!" You retort loudly, as if to tell Lin Ye that his example is incorrect.

"Yes, that's it."

Morgan constantly comforts herself. The Morgan of that parallel world clearly cannot compare to her; how could that naive fool build Great Britain so well!

But if it were herself, the result would definitely be different.

"Is that so?"

However, Lin Ye suddenly interrupts your words. He continues to use illusion to show you what happens next in this world.

Then you and Mordred see:

A man named Beryl descends into this world. He summons the Morgan from the Pan-Human History, which is you... You see this devastated Great Britain, so you decide to pass your memories to the Morgan of the past in this world.

"This... this is real..." Morgan completely believes that what Lin Ye said is true. This is her trump card; she even thought that if she failed in the end, she would use this move to project what happened in this world to her past self, thereby changing everything.

But she didn't expect Lin Ye to even know about this trump card of hers.

"But this time it will definitely be fine. The Morgan of that world not only knows the future of this world but also knows everything that happened in my world. With two experiences, she will definitely be able to change this world and build a perfect Great Britain."

Thinking of this, Morgan immediately looks at the later part of this simulation.

Thus, everything about the Great Britain Lostbelt appears directly in front of the four people.

That's right. Lin Ye, Mordred, Morgan, and... Merlin, who has been peeking with Clairvoyance.

Merlin, watching this scene, keeps sighing:

"The Vivian of the parallel world is also very cute."

Alright, Merlin is worthy of being an old simp. Unfortunately, Vivian truly doesn't look down on you.

You see that after obtaining the memories, Vivian/Morgan successfully escapes when the Rain Clan is wiped out. Subsequently, Morgan takes the name Tonelico and works hard in this world for a full two thousand years!

She successfully helps the fairies of this world escape the Great Calamity; she becomes the savior of this world.

But subsequently, these fairies begin to hate Morgan, because they believe that only a dead savior is a good savior; a living one will only become a shackle that points fingers at them.

Helpless, Morgan has no choice but to choose to sleep in a coffin, only waking up to save the world when a disaster occurs, and then repeating the cycle...
