Chapter 1254: The Shell of King Uther
Scabbard?

Chiron narrowed his eyes in confusion, [Aries Derivative: Double Horns], a horn attack that simulates the speed of Aries. The speed of this move is just like a galloping Aries, so fast that it can even destroy his own body, and in exchange it has the highest destructive power among the [Eighty-Eight Stars in the Sky].

Even if there is a shield that is not pierced by the [Double Horns], the shield itself will be knocked away, and the person holding the shield will be shattered.

However, this scabbard absorbed all the power of the [Double Horns], and it did not simply absorb the damage after being attacked, but continued to absorb power when approaching the scabbard, until the power was reduced to zero when it touched the scabbard.

After hesitating for less than 0.01 seconds, Chiron immediately changed direction, still using [Aries Derivative - Double Horns], but this time the target was not Merlin protected by the scabbard, but the mechanical worms around him.

Merlin understood Chiron's purpose after a pause of 0.03 seconds. He immediately gave orders, and all the mechanical worms dispersed and regrouped into a giant mechanical worm.

"Unfortunately, I only completed 30% of the 25% I expected to scrap." Chiron used the sigh function again, exhaled, and the heat energy accumulated in his body was also exhaled.

"This is... I didn't realize you had any friends."

Chiron's sight fell on the person holding the scabbard. The scabbard did not appear for no reason. This person rushed in holding the scabbard.

This was a blond young man with emerald green eyes. He was holding a scabbard and blocking Chiron's fist. But he looked extremely weak, with empty eyes and some cracks on his body, with strange light patterns flowing through them.

"According to the facial analysis, there is an 85% chance that he is related to Morgan. His structure is actually a cyborg."

"No need to analyze, this is King Uther, the father of Morgan and Arthur, but he was bred using genes."

"It's amazing." Chiron's expression was indifferent. If it were Blaze, he might have been amazed, but he had seen all kinds of people, and he was just King Uther.

What really surprised him was that this body was so badly preserved that it actually needed to be remodeled to keep it from collapsing. But considering the situation in the wreckage of the Ark and the requirements of the maker... it was not bad to be able to turn out like this.

"The Ark Engine alone is not enough to complete my plan, and it gave me inspiration. Faith is a new kind of energy, and this may be the only value of human beings in this degenerate era." Merlin's huge metal body disintegrated, and countless light bodies emerged and floated around.

That "he" is undoubtedly the Pope, and it was Teresa who researched the energy of faith.

The ball of light that Merlin decomposed into slowly entered King Uther's body, and then a red light lit up in King Uther's eyes.

"I have conducted tests on the Eternal King. The people in this area have an unusual admiration for the Leader, and they are the perfect target for harvesting faith energy. For this reason, I specially kept King Uther's genes for cultivation and transformed them into a receiving station for faith energy."

King Uther twisted his neck, and Merlin's violent voice came out from his elegant appearance.

"I didn't want to be exposed so soon, but I didn't expect you to develop your body's functions so well. If I don't get serious, I'm afraid I'll lose."

"The scabbard?"

Chiron's gaze fell on the scabbard in Merlin's hand. For him, a robot from the Age of Gods that had existed for a long time, the story of the Eternal King was just like the story of the neighbor's child. There was nothing surprising about it, and the records were rather vague. But he couldn't help but remember that Blaze had told him about it.

That's most likely the scabbard of the Broken Steel Sword.

To be honest, if he hadn't had to guard the laboratory and wait for his successor, he could have ensured that he would be the protagonist of every legendary story that Blaze longed for.

As Chiron possessed the soul for a longer time, his emotions became richer and richer.

"It seems that the mystery of the story has been solved. It was you who took away the scabbard, causing the Eternal King to lose his protection." The mystery of the lost scabbard of the Eternal King is a story that many people talk about with relish. Most of them believe that it was caused by Morgan's conspiracy, but this statement has been denied by the parties involved.

Morgan said that even without the scabbard, she couldn't defeat the Eternal King. If she believed in the metaphysical saying that the Eternal King would be doomed without the scabbard, it would be more effective to make a voodoo doll or draw a circle to curse.

The scabbard in Merlin's hands was unexpected but reasonable.

"I once had some expectations of the Eternal King, and asked him whether the sword or the scabbard was more important." Merlin clenched the scabbard in his hand, his expression gloomy and angry, like a dark cloud containing thunder.

"He chose the sword, but was unwilling to point it at the world's greatest enemy. So I took away the scabbard. He is no longer qualified to possess this power."

"Do you want him to choose the scabbard..." Chiron nodded as if to confirm, and then took a stance, "So, do you think this cyborg body can win me over?"

"Can't win? This is my first metal assimilation experiment, which took me more than a thousand years to cultivate and transform." Merlin sneered. He put the scabbard on his waist, and then countless mechanical worms drilled into his hands to form a twisted mechanical sword.

The mechanical worm sword was put into the scabbard, he lowered his body, and pointed the hilt at Chiron.

"You'd better not underestimate this body."

【Uther Pendragon LV250】

【Faith Z/Split Z/Red Dragon Z/…/】

Merlin disappeared from the spot in an instant, and then the sound of a high-speed sonic boom was heard.

"Isn't it a bit of a waste of the power of this receiving station?" Chiron turned around suddenly and punched down, and Merlin appeared there just as if it was agreed.

But Chiron's hammer was once again blocked by the scabbard. Legend has it that the scabbard has the ability to protect the holder from harm, and this is not a rumor.

And its capabilities are not limited to just that.

"Idiot, this is the only way this receiving station will be safe and will not be persecuted. This is common sense."

Merlin slowly pulled out the mechanical worm sword, and the dark and twisted sword blade was stained with a beautiful bright silver color as if it had been polished.

"See the true power of Avalon."

The mechanical worm sword was completely pulled out, and an invisible arc of light spread out silently.

It was not a powerful sword pressure, it seemed just a breeze.

A leaf fell and suddenly broke into two.

“This is truly amazing power.”

Chiron tilted his body, and as the mechanical worm sword in Merlin's hand collapsed, his shoulder armor and the environment behind him tilted and slid down, as if the whole world was cut in half.
