Chapter 244: The Despicable Demon King Has Stolen Your Britain

"If one were to ask what the Divine Realm is?"

Athena pondered for a moment, organized her thoughts, and spoke.

"The Divine Realm could be called a mythological world located quite far from the ground, could it not?"

"The primordial gods, the Earth Spirits, all became gods within the Divine Realm."

"As for the time before that, when I was still an Earth Spirit, I do not have many memories; by the time I developed self-awareness, I was already in the Divine Realm."

"After that, there were the wars that occurred within the Divine Realm, the defeat of the Earth Mother Goddess, the shifting of mythology, and so on."

"However, we are not certain whether the shifting of mythology influenced the Divine Realm, or if the changes in the Divine Realm influenced the shifting of mythology."

"But I suspect it is very likely the latter."

The strength of a Divinity is not determined by the gods themselves, but by faith; generally speaking, gods with more faith tend to be more powerful.

Su Nian listened as Athena introduced what the Divine Realm was like, as well as the origins of the gods as far as she knew.

At the same time, he was also pondering how he could take away all the gods located within the Divine Realm at once.

Destroy the mythology of this world, and then replace it with a mythology of his own Fiction.

"In short, we still have to start from mythology, right?"

"My wisdom tells me that is how it should be understood."

Athena nodded; if one wanted to reduce the impact caused by this world being observed, starting from mythology was more convenient.

"King, a white Witch requests an audience."

Just as Su Nian was deep in thought, the door opened, and Guinevere poked her head in to say this.

At this moment, Su Nian was holding the 【Unofficial History of the Ages】 and the 【History】 and 【Record】 Authorities he had swindled from Heitian.

"Tell her to wait a moment."

After Su Nian finished speaking, he looked down at the Unofficial History of the Ages and the two Authorities and said.

"I just feel like something is still missing."

Generally speaking, one is enough to forge an Authority Artifact, but a single Authority truly could not satisfy Su Nian's ideas.

But even adding these two Authorities, Su Nian still felt something was missing.

"I perhaps think it is missing 【Mythology】."

Athena reminded him in a low voice.

Objectively speaking, mythology is a part of history, but that is under the worldview of an ordinary, magicless world.

Yet under a worldview where mythology truly exists, a single history cannot encompass everything.

Just like how Little Garden's observation and convergence of history is divided into Divine History and Human History.

Human History is ordinary history, while Divine History is mythology.

"Looks like you have quite the ambition, don't you?"

Su Nian looked at Athena with interest; he recalled an interesting theory.

Namely the theory of the omnipotent Zeus, which claims that everything in Greek Mythology was born and occurred under the will of Zeus, whether it was the birth of Chaos, Uranus becoming the God King and issuing the Curse, or Cronus defeating Uranus.

Everything they did was under Zeus's arrangement, for the sake of Zeus's birth.

It is said that this possibility of the Little Garden Zeus was snatched away by Yahweh, becoming the Only God Divinity.

Is Athena trying to become the Only God?

"Not as much as you; I just think that since you can already create Fiction mythology, why not control mythology?"

Athena said with a smile; in her view, Su Nian crudely destroying mythology was a bit too wasteful.

It would be better to use the 【Mythology】 of this world as material for Su Nian to forge his Artifact.

"Good idea."

Su Nian said with considerable appreciation.

Afterwards, Su Nian put away the Unofficial History of the Ages and the two Authorities, and said toward the door.

"Guinevere, let her in."

The door closed, and then not long after, the door opened again.

"Greetings, Heavenly Lord King Arthur."

With brilliant blonde hair, wearing a proper white gown, the White Princess walked in slowly, looking pure and beautiful despite being over twenty-five years old.

Su Nian raised an eyebrow and recited the visitor's name.

"Alice Louise of Narfa."

He said this, looking at Alice with a playful expression.

"I wonder what business the Princess has visiting me? Are you planning to bring the entirety of Britain to welcome the return of this old king?"

Although in this world, King Arthur is a purely fictional mythology, and the history of this world, aside from Heretic gods and Godslayers, still leans toward ordinary Human History.

Moreover, this world also possesses Historical Correction Force, and history and Pan-Human History are roughly the same; it is not like Type-Moon where mythology and Human History are mixed together.

This was, of course, a teasing remark; after all, both Alice and Su Nian knew that the Britain of this world did not have a king named Arthur.

Alice walked gracefully to Su Nian's front and bowed slightly.

"Due to the impatience of some gentlemen, I am forced to meet with you in this form; I hope you will forgive me."

This was also one of the reasons Alice did not want to come; after all, meeting with a Soul Clone was too impolite.

It was just that those insects would rather have her meet Su Nian in the form of a Soul Clone than send their own daughters.

Are they that afraid of taking the blame? Or perhaps of being implicated?

Alice did not believe they were all doting fathers.

"It is fine, I have a partner who often meets me in this way."

Su Nian waved his hand casually and said.

Nangong Nayue sometimes runs out of stamina and falls into a deep sleep, yet even in her dreams, she will manifest a clone to continue battling Su Nian.

The sensation of a clone is still a bit different from the original body.

"It is truly wonderful that you can understand."

Alice said with great gratitude, while also letting out a sigh of relief; it seemed Su Nian did not feel he had been slighted.

"Then, Princess, have you come to welcome the return of this old King?"

Su Nian asked again with a playful tone; he was somewhat curious about the reason Alice had come to find him.

From the perspective of a Divine Spirit, the ambition of this Princess Alice is truly not small.

A Divine Spirit can easily see through a person's soul, their thoughts, and so on; everything about a mortal is laid bare before a god.

However, ambition is just ambition; in Su Nian's view, these little thoughts are quite interesting.

For example, Alice is frantically complaining in her heart about the other high-ranking members of the Council of Sages.

Accusing them of having no integrity or the like, and ultimately making her come out to take the fall.

Of course, the most interesting thing is Alice's confirmation of Su Nian's identity; things like the Last King are truly too interesting.

Su Nian has not even started acting yet, and as a result, she has almost confirmed that Su Nian is the Last King.

But who can blame Su Nian when his current disguise is indeed so suggestive.

Alice suddenly stopped talking, or rather, she did not know what else she should say.

Who negotiates by getting straight to the point like you? Shouldn't there be some polite pleasantries first, then throwing out conditions, then them being tempted, and bargaining for a while?

Alice complained in her heart.

"You do not have the qualifications to bargain."

Alice's expression suddenly stiffened; she shouldn't have spoken just now, right? She was just complaining in her heart, right?

Why did she get a response from Su Nian?

Mind reading! From the moment I came in, I have been read; the Witch's Spirit Vision did not react at all.

Thinking of this, Alice looked at Su Nian with some despair, and Su Nian just blinked innocently.

As a god, isn't it normal to be able to see through a mortal's thoughts?

And Alice's soul fluctuations are really very easy to read.

At this moment, Alice was completely certain.

"What are you saying? I don't quite understand..."

Alice tried to quibble, and at the same time, she used the Witch's methods to suppress her mental fluctuations, avoiding being read.

In terms of the Witch's methods, Alice has infinitely approached a God Ancestor, which is the strongest tier just below the Godly Power of a Heretic.

That is to say, unless Su Nian has the corresponding Godly Power, it is absolutely impossible to continue reading her mind so easily.

Afterwards, Alice pulled herself together again and said with courage.

"King, we have come here only to tell you that a despicable Demon King has stolen your Britain."

Yes, the one being spoken of is none other than the Godslayer Alexander Gascoigne, also known as the Black Prince.

Does anyone really think it is a good thing to have a Godslayer in the country? That is purely having an extra ancestor on top of one's head.

Although there is strategic deterrence, the internal pressure is often stronger than the external.

The losses caused by a willful Demon King are far greater than what they can scrape together.

Otherwise, Godslayers would not be called Demon Kings.

A Godslayer like Kusanagi is truly a once-in-a-millennium occurrence.

Heaven knows how envious the international community was at the time that the Island Country had picked up such an easy-to-handle Godslayer.

"In other words, as long as I execute the Black Prince, this Godslayer, I can take back my Britain?"

Su Nian looked at Alice with interest.

"Oh, right, before the battle, what is the most important thing? I believe you should understand what I mean, right?"

Alice's complexion changed instantly.

She understood all too well what Su Nian meant; what is most important before a battle? Naturally, it is intelligence.

And as it happens, the Council of Sages has collected intelligence on both Heretic gods and Godslayers.

And what this Last King wants is certainly not intelligence on Heretic gods.

So, I actually guessed right back then.

The Last King really does intend to collect intelligence on Godslayers.

But is this something that can be said explicitly?

It's just, how did this King know?

Once could be considered a coincidence, but twice is hard to explain away.

Alice does not believe Su Nian will forgive her a third time.

Therefore, the only plan now is one way.

Cannot fight, cannot understand, can only submit.

Alice put away all her little thoughts and lowered her head slightly, saying.

"That is natural, King. The people of Britain yearn for your return and look forward to you driving away the despicable Demon King once again; we will do our utmost to provide you with help."

"Only do your utmost?"

Su Nian asked in return.

"If it is your will, we will do everything to help you."
