Chapter 242: The Supreme King Arthur Is About to Return to His Loyal

The residence of Duke Gaodeding.

Patricia Ericsson held a stack of documents, pushed up her thin-rimmed glasses, and walked into the mansion with a heavy expression.

The person she was to meet was the former chair of the Council of Sages, the highest-ranking witch in Europe who currently intervened in the Council's operations as a special advisor.

She was also the daughter of Duke Gaodeding, a willful woman known as the 【White Princess】.

Her full name was Her Highness Princess Alice Louise of Navarre.

Passing through the luxuriously decorated hall filled with an aristocratic atmosphere, Ericsson went straight to the bedroom door and opened it with a key.

In an exceptionally spacious room filled with European-style decor, a white woman in her twenties with shining golden hair and a beautiful face was leaning against the headboard, sighing softly.

"Miss Ericsson, please don't tell me another troublesome matter has been sent to me?"

"For someone who possesses the highest-ranking Spirit Vision, isn't this something you expected?"

Ericsson pushed up her glasses and said in a stiff tone.

"It's precisely because I expected it that I know it's a big problem."

Alice muttered, then looked at her secretary and tutor.

"I have a premonition that this is definitely a matter related to gods."

"Your premonitions are always accurate."

Ericsson calmly handed over the documents and said at the same time.

"A Heretic god has appeared, preliminarily estimated to be within the United Kingdom, with authorities related to darkness and death."

"And it is very likely there is more than one; the Royal Factory discovered an abnormally dense fog appearing in Greenland."

"It is highly probable that two Heretic gods are clashing."

"Fog, darkness—this is not good news."

Alice exclaimed, picked up the documents, and frowned.

"Then is there no news from Alec?"

Aren't Godslayers the most bellicose? How could they possibly remain calm when facing a Heretic god?

Normally, after receiving this news, shouldn't the Black Prince, Alexander Gascoigne, be rushing off to fight?

"The King seems to have found information about the Holy Grail and has gone to search for it."

Ericsson pushed up her glasses and said with some helplessness.

"Are you asking me to use Spirit Vision to identify the Heretic god?"

Alice asked.

"The current chair did not specify."

Ericsson stood straight beside Alice and pushed up her glasses.

"Of course, given your current physical condition, I do not recommend such an action."

It seemed that the White Princess Alice's frail body was insufficient to support her powerful witch bloodline.

Consequently, Alice had been unable to leave her bed for a long time.

This was also the reason why she had stepped down as chair of the Council of Sages and was directing things remotely as a special advisor.

However, a woman's curiosity could not be stopped; since childhood, Alice had yearned for information regarding the relationship between gods and Godslayers.

Otherwise, the Council of Sages would not have been bold enough to secretly collect information on Godslayers, or even name the other party's authorities.

"Just quietly confirming it won't hurt."

Alice said in a low voice, as if trying to persuade herself.

"Hmm, let me see, who exactly is the other party?"

Alice's eyes gradually began to grow hollow.

The next second, she saw an unfamiliar room and saw several blurry figures.

And a Knight sitting cross-legged at the door, seemingly guarding the existence inside? No, it was a Valkyrie with honey-colored hair.

In that instant, the Valkyrie raised her head and looked at Alice.

Like a sparrow stared at by a dragon, Alice's expression froze in that moment.

Seeing this, Ericsson's expression changed; she hurriedly put on her Magic Gloves and forcibly pressed down on Alice's head, compelling her to exit the state of Spirit Vision.

Exiting Spirit Vision, Alice immediately gasped for air, her delicate and beautiful face covered in dense cold sweat.

"Thank you, Ericsson. A moment longer, and I would have been caught by that Valkyrie."

"A Valkyrie?"

Ericsson looked at Alice in astonishment and asked in surprise.

"You identified the identity of that Valkyrie?"

Alice calmed down a little before explaining with lingering fear.

"I identified her; that Valkyrie's name is Lancelot."

"And she seems to be guarding the door..."

Alice said in an uncertain tone.

"I'm afraid the Heretic gods that have descended may not be just two, but a group."

"Of course, it is also possible that the other party possesses a Summoning authority."

"This..."

Hearing this, Ericsson said, dumbfounded.

"You don't mean to tell me that Lancelot is guarding King Arthur?"

"From what I can see, this is very likely."

Alice said with a wry smile.

If this is true, then this is truly terrible.

Everyone knows the status of King Arthur in the United Kingdom; at the very least, it is similar to the status of Sun Wukong in a certain Dongfang great power.

Just imagine, if one day, your ancestor crawled out of the ground, what should you do?

Given Alice's understanding of the Council of Sages and the nature of the royal family, she would likely defect the moment she learned that the descending Heretic God was King Arthur.

She would probably defect the very next moment.

"If it is that King, isn't this a good thing?"

Ericsson said in an uncertain tone.

"I suppose..."

Alice remained in that uncertain state.

No one knows if King Arthur, who descended as a Heretic God, would be as perfect as in the Mythology.

However, at this moment, Alice's eyes suddenly lost their focus.

At this instant, she clearly saw a handsome young man with golden hair and blue eyes looking at her with great amusement.

"So you are the ones who have been chanting my name?"

Alice's expression instantly stiffened.

It felt like things had gotten a bit out of hand... she had just casually mentioned that King's name and received a response.

Is there anything worse than this?

"Alice, Alice..."

Following the calls, Alice opened her eyes, then looked at Ericsson beside her and said in a panic.

"How long have I been dazed?"

"Three minutes."

Ericsson looked at his watch and answered quickly.

Alice's face turned pale instantly.

"Notify the royal family and the Council of Sages to prepare to welcome the King. Also, be careful not to casually utter that King's honorable name."

"Huh?"

Ericsson's expression changed drastically.

——

In the hotel early in the morning, Su Nian stretched comfortably and then said with a smile.

"It's still a bit unusual to be a god for the first time; I was actually woken up."

Although Su Nian is currently using the Spirit Status of Arthur, absorbing the faith accumulated in the United Kingdom for a thousand years, transforming into an Acquired God, and condensing his Divinity and Divine Position.

Yet, the characteristics belonging to a god have already appeared on him, such as "if one thinks of it, there will be an echo."

Because it was explicitly directed at him, he sensed the conversation Alice and the others were having.

"This kind of thing will be fine once the Divinity is condensed; the Divinity will accept these information-based faiths."

Algol muttered softly; she had also been a Divine Spirit for a period of time and was relatively proficient in this.

Only Athena, on the side, had her mouth twitch slightly.

She always felt that the god you are talking about is not the same species as the god she knows.

Anyway, she had never heard of any god capable of doing this to such an extent.

"Just set up a feedback system on the condensing Divinity and it's done."

Su Nian said with a smile.

"In passing, it can also allow Guinevere to restore her Divine Position."

Although the faith in King Arthur accumulated in the United Kingdom over a thousand years is but a drop in the bucket compared to what Su Nian needs to condense his Divinity, it is not difficult to help Guinevere condense her own Divinity as a Subordinate God.

Throw a peach, return a plum.

Although the Halloween Queen's personality is somewhat nasty, overall, she has helped Su Nian quite a bit.

Su Nian has not repaid her much either.

Taking this opportunity, Su Nian is looking to see if he can, while making his Arthur avatar reach the Three-digit level.

Elevate Avalon into a God Group and revitalize the Halloween Queen's base, which is left with only a few stragglers.

As one of the important sources of Merit for a God Group, Human History always sends it over on a regular and fixed basis.

But if the corresponding God Group is wiped out by Humanity's Final Trial, it means it has been deregistered.

Even if that God Group has a lot of faith and influence in Human History, not a single bit of Merit will be sent over.

That was how the Halloween Queen cultivated Arthur back then; in order to raise a new God Group, she even spared no expense to hire countless Poets to sing his praises, all to revitalize her base.

It's just that Arthur was eventually smashed by Dystopia, and all the resources invested back then went down the drain.

And with the help of this world, Arthur has already become a god; as for the Round Table Knights becoming gods, that is also quite normal.

Then, as long as Su Nian works hard to manipulate things, he can condense the Divinities of the other Round Table Knights in Avalon.

And then carve out a piece of territory in the Divine Realm, and the base of the God Group will be established.

The rest depends on how the Halloween Queen operates; Su Nian does not believe the Halloween Queen cannot handle even this much.

Even later, using Avalon and Camelot as a foundation, he could integrate the Nordic God Group, the Canaanite Pantheon... and other already destroyed God Groups she has on hand.

It would even be possible to build the foundation for a large-scale God Group.

In this way, in less than a few thousand years, a large-scale God Group under the Halloween Queen would appear in Little Garden.

Of course, Su Nian will definitely not lose out either.

After all, he is the one who built the foundation; it is estimated that Arthur's Spirit Status will reach the level of those top God Kings.

And then... become the Halloween Queen's third-in-command?

Emmm...

Hiss, why do I feel like I'm a bit of a scumbag?

Su Nian felt as if he could already see the bloody kitchen knife.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

How could someone as loyal as him be met with a kitchen knife!

It's only one, two, three, four... of them, that's all.
