~7 min read 1,329 words

【Yemen and Anchises also knelt on one knee at the same time, offering the horn of the Sky God Baal Hammon and the head of the chief god—Tinia.】

【(Both come from Carthaginian mythology and (Etruscan mythology) respectively.)】

(The previous Muertea is actually Venus, but it was an earlier name.)

【"Raise your heads!"】

【The youth turned around to look at him, curling his lips into a smile, his eyes gratified: "This is your glory, to kill the rampaging gods with the bodies of mortal kings.】

Your names will be tightly bound by the people.】

Your stories will be sung on the earth.】

A thousand years.】

Ten thousand years.】

Though life ends, it will be eternal with the stars!"】

【Finally feeling something.】

【The European kings who arrived one after another wept bitterly.】

【My King, are you finally going to leave us and go to your hometown, wherever it may be?】

【My King, the earth is already broken, the gods have moved to the high heavens, your ideals have not yet ended, and your story must continue.】

【My King, who ended the tyrannical Age of Gods and drove the gods to the sky, your dear friends, where shall we, the lost, go?】

【The youth still smiled, looking at them with expectation.】

【"Yemen, Sargon is your brother, he has become a star in the sky, so you should help his son build his kingdom.】

Let his story be sung on this earth."】

【"As you command, my King."】

【Yemen covered his heart with one hand, bowing his head and choking up.】

【The youth looked at the beautiful youth: "Anchises, Elam has no descendants, so let his kingdom be named Elam."】

【"Your wish is my life, my King."】

【Anchises' face was the most feminine, but he was the strongest and proudest among the kings.】

【Finally.】

【The youth looked at Arthur, who was silent and speechless, and smiled.】

【"Hahaha, how truly immature..."】

【The youth smiled and patted his shoulder: "How can you become my successor like this, Arthur, you are already the King of Britain."】

【"A king is a burden, Arthur."】

【Just like in the past, it made Pendragon, who was already a father of three, feel as if he had returned to that twilight when he killed the High Priest.】

【The youth was also patting his shoulder like this, smiling and saying these words.】

【But at this moment.....】

【The perfect knight crawled on the ground and wept bitterly.】

【"My King, after you leave, where shall we go?"】

【"My King, without you, it is like the stars without the moon, the migratory birds in the sky without a leader, unable to find the way forward and direction."】

【"My King, my father, my dear friend, after you leave, who will understand me, I am as lonely as one person on the earth."】

【The youth was a little helpless, looking at him gently; this gentleness even stung the hearts of the kings.】

【"Arthur, the sword represents pioneering, it is to break through thorns and thistles, it is the pioneer who opens the way forward.】

But the time for driving away the pantheons and pioneering the dawn has passed.】

The era of kingship has arrived."】

【He easily drew Arthur's holy sword and buried the vessel that defeated the gods from beyond the sky and the enemy of civilization into the sword.】

【The fairy's holy sword bloomed with radiance, shining like a lighthouse on the ruined earth.】

【He placed the sublimated King's Holy Sword on Arthur's shoulder in the eyes of the shocked kings.】

【"The sword is a burden, it is protection."】

【"Arthur, this is the reverberation of the lives of the Age of Gods, the blooming of the radiance of celestial bodies. It is the holy blade entrusted by the planet when the White Giant descended.】

【This is the glorious sword that saves the planet, the golden blade made to defeat the destruction of the planet, capable of repelling all evil.】

Too dangerous, and too terrifying... so, Arthur..."】

【The youth's voice was solemn: "Swear to me, swear to humanity.....】

【"Must fight for honor."】

【"Must fight for survival."】

【"Must fight with the strong."】

【"Must fight for truth."】

【"Must fight against evil."】

【........】

【"Must not fight for private desire."】

【"It is to fight to save the world!"】

【The successor's voice followed the Eternal King, overlapping with him, as if it were the intersection of the past and the future.】

【Looking at this scene with gratification, the youth turned back to look at the jealous kings and dug out his own right eye.】

【"Yemen, I entrust my eye to you, it will help you see through the hearts of men and handle kingly affairs justly."】

【Saying this, he smiled: "By the way, look at this earth for me after the gods have left."】

【He dug out his own heart and placed it in Anchises' chest, which had been hollowed out by the gods.】

【"Alright, don't cry, Anchises, my heart will beat in your chest, and my blood will be continued by you.】

Bring the blood of courage and undying fighting spirit to your descendants."】

【Giving his left arm to Arthur, who had a severed arm, and sharing his blood with the descendants of Sargon and the sacrificed kings, he looked at Arthur, who was silent and unwilling to accept, and shook his head.】

【"Arthur, language is like a blade, excessive honesty is not suitable for a king."】

【"You must learn how to be a good king, speak what you are bound to, and entrust what you wish to the sword."】

【Looking at the dear friend who walked with him, the King was so worried, preaching the King's Way and King's Affairs for seven days on this sacred mountain.】

【Until the chariot of the Sun God Apollo drove across the sky for the seventh time.】

【"Finally, I want to advise you, your descendants are born bearing nobility and flowers."】

【"But too much vision will ignore the grass at your feet."】

【My dear friend, we who drove away the gods, the descendants who inherited our will have become new gods, how cruel this is."】

【"You should allow them to walk among the people, smell the fragrance of the soil, and cherish this earth snatched from the hands of the gods."】

【"My King, we will remember."】

【The youth looked at the sky, turned back and smiled, the slow breeze stroking his silver hair.】

【"After I leave, my kingdom will sink into the shadow of the world; the current world can no longer support a King of Kings."】

【"Let the endless ghosts wandering on the earth today inhabit it; Scáthach will become the new king of the kingdom, guarding the portal of the Land of Shadows."】

【"After I leave, send my body to the distant fairy land of Avalon; I will awaken there, find the mirror that contains the connection to all ages, and return to my hometown."】

【"No need for sadness, no need for farewells, I have not died, I am the Eternal King, and I will surely watch over this human earth eternally."】

【The Eternal King.】

【The Holy King of humanity.】

【Their dear friend, their father... walked to the end.】

【Dissipating like foam in the twilight sunset.】

【The crying echoed on the sacred mountain of the past.】

【The pure white king crawled on the ground, unable to stop crying.】

【The conversation from that return from the crusade against the evil god seemed to echo in his ears.】

【"My King, why are you sad, is it the sadness of a dear friend's departure?"】

【"My dear friend's story will be sung on the earth, and will turn into a heroic spirit on the throne, eternally guarding the fragrance of the earth."】

【"Then you....."】

【The King sighed, looking into the distance: "I am missing my hometown, which I do not know where it is, I am missing my other half, which I do not know where it is."】

【The immature knight faintly understood that the King's hometown might be in that unreachable foreign land far away.......】
