Chapter 218

~7 min read 1,292 words

A big shot is thoughtful, suddenly shocked, looking at the massive world map hanging on the wall, looking toward the direction of the Japanese islands.

Then, the one in reality shouldn't be...

He gasps, feeling that he has guessed some terrifying truth; no wonder after that Pacific Black Cavity incident was resolved, Merlin threw the Sword of Selection to Japan.

It turns out the King is in the Far East!

Besides him, I'm afraid no one in this world can control that giant sword that reaches into the clouds, right?

……

【On the battlefield, Gawain's eyes are dazed, thinking of the legend that has been sung in ancient Great Britain for a long time.】

【That is a legend, but also a legend belonging to the King.】

【Also known as the King of Ideals, the King of the Age of Gods.】

【The King who crusaded against gods with his own strength, annihilated giant gods, the first Holy Sword wielder.】

【The true owner of the Holy Sword of Stars, the true King Arthur!】

【It is rumored that the King of Knights known today is just his mapping, molded by his father, King Uther, using him as a template.】

【Arthur Pendragon, also translated as Arthur Pendragon, commonly known as King Arthur, is the most legendary and great king in the legends of ancient Great Britain.】

【People's understanding of him comes more from Celtic mythological legends and medieval unofficial historical documents.】

【Legend has it that he is the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, a legendary figure close to myth, known as the "Eternal King" (the Once and Future King).】

【I don't know when, Arthur Pendragon in later legends became Artoria Pendragon...】

【The two gradually became confused.】

Luo Shu in the sky refutes calmly.

【"The Eternal King is me, but I am not the Eternal King."】

"What does that mean?!"

The Earth audience, who thought they had guessed the truth, are now suspicious.

……

【"No matter who you are, even if it's that king in his prime, so what?"】

【"In the end, just a mortal."】

【"Nii-san, now I have no rivals."】

【The corner of the crimson dress flutters on the battlefield, Kaguya looks at Luo Shu with a sense of loss; she seems to be sighing, sighing for her mortal self who has gone far away.】

【Sighing that in this lonely sky, only she remains.】

【Sighing that no one is qualified to see the same world as her anymore.】

【In her world, the composition of the world, the posture of the world, are unimaginable to mortals, like 0 and 1 in mathematics, existence and non-existence; that is no longer a qualitative change... but a gap transcending the chasm.】

【Then, Kaguya raises her hand, as if just touching it casually.】

【Slender fingers just... a little bit.】

【Clang!!】

【In an instant, the "lines" connecting all things seem to break strangely.】

【Everyone present trembles in their hearts, all hearing the clear sound of snapping.】

"Holy crap, they are disappearing...!!"

Someone is shocked.

Many people look, pupils shrinking, all gasping.

【The Heroic Spirits watch blankly as their bodies turn into light spots and scatter.】

【Even if some of them are close to their prime.】

【It's useless.】

【"In my eyes, the conceptual connection between you and the Throne is as glaring as reality."】

【Her tone is very calm.】

【But everyone knows that what she says is the truth.】

【Then it also means.......】

【The strength and quantity of Heroic Spirits are meaningless to her, who can cut off the connection at any time.】

【There is only one answer.】

"`Just playing around?"

In reality, Kirigaya Kazuto is desperate, watching the Heroic Spirits' struggle seem meaningless, everything empty; then what was the tragedy before for?

"No... perhaps, among Kaguya's many personality residues, some hope to see humanity's courage, crusade against the Beast, fight for their homeland, indomitable, nine deaths without regret......"

"The anthem of humanity is the anthem of courage!"

His friend sighs, answering silently.

Of course, this is just his speculation; perhaps the Beast-fied Kaguya didn't think so.

But having witnessed one Heroic Spirit after another generously going to their deaths, he, and many viewers on Earth, are deeply shocked by this trace of courage.

……

【"The annoying ants have exited the stage, it's your turn, brother."】

【Kaguya looks straight ahead, the pupils on her forehead flashing with eerie blood light, mixed with a trace of sacred gold, countless disaster auras spreading on her body, raising her hand, as if wanting to wield the authority of a Star God!】

【"Yes... it's our turn, Kaguya."】

【Luo Shu smiles faintly, then looks at the corpse of the Earth that still retains a trace of instinct, "Alaya, give me back my things."】

People are stunned.

What things?!

【"Boom!!"】

【On the land of western England, the earth is cracking, shaking, strands of brilliant light seeping from the ground, instantly turning into meteor fire rain like a blue light rushing into the sky, breaking through the void.】

【Almost instantly, it breaks through the stratosphere, enters outer space, turns into a stream of light, flies across the sky of one country after another, falling from the sky!】

It's coming!

People hold their breath, seeing the silver Holy King calmly extend his right hand, naturally taking it; it is a crystal-clear, flowing, colorful crystal sword, the blade imprinted with golden divine patterns like dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, emitting various immortal auras.

【In Kaguya's belly, among the many Heroic Spirits capable of threatening the "Beast," Saber looks at him complicatedly, feeling mixed emotions for a moment.】

【If the one in front is the genuine article, then she is just a counterfeit molded because of longing for the Eternal King.】【If it were him, he would definitely be able to save Great Britain!】

【She herself was born with such a wish.】

【The reason Saber has always wanted to return to the past and refuse to pull out the Sword in the Stone.】

【There is also a part of the reason that she feels she has tarnished the glory of the Eternal King, bearing the name of Arthur, but watching the Holy City Camelot destroyed helplessly and desperately, making the name of Arthur a symbol of a loser.】

【"Retreat, just leave it to me here."】

【Luo Shu is calm, walking toward Kaguya slowly, dispersing the remaining Heroic Spirits.】

【With every step, a strand of gentle golden light overflows from the soles of his feet, nourishing the earth, making the soil under his feet suitable for farming, and the wind begins to manifest, losing resistance, helping him walk more lightly.】

【Meeting water, it scatters; meeting fire, it extinguishes; meeting thunder, it doesn't sound; meeting darkness, it gives birth to light...】

【As if the whole world owes him, doing its best to be close to him, favoring him!】

【At this moment, all European Heroic Spirits feel that this scene is happening as a matter of course, all looking with longing, kneeling on one knee, right hand covering their hearts, bowing their heads: "As you command, my King."】

【Because the Eternal King is a master of the world, the king defaulted by all nobles!】

【And he never died in myth.】

【"Still want to be my enemy, Nii-chan, now I........"】

【Kaguya's body, surrounded by black and red colors, rises slowly, standing high in the sky and overlooking.】

【"... is invincible!"】

【Heaven and earth change color, violent clouds churning under her feet, purple thunderbolts winding down across tens of kilometers, ten thousand thunders galloping, surrounding her like a god and a demon, as if the master of everything!】

【No response.】

【The silver Holy King just calmly holds the long sword in front of him.】

【Come, fight...】

【There is no victory or defeat...】

【Only life and death!】

……

127. Sword that tears the planet, three thousand mind reincarnations!
