Moreover, whatever this "King" does next, his incredibly confident attitude and the formidable strength he previously displayed are undoubtedly a shot in the arm for her and the Council of Sages.

Princess Alice probably never imagined that her initial intention to seek help through an exchange would ultimately lead to her and the Council of Sages being dragged down with her.

After Princess Alice's visit, Shirou did not rush to the Council of Sages.

He first rested for a few days at his villa in Naples. After the two Noble Phantasms that constituted the "Godslayer Spear" were forged, he went directly to outer space and incorporated Mercury, which is 2.5 times smaller than Earth, into the materials for forging the "Excalibur".

Shirou can now travel from Earth to the Moon in just 1.3 seconds, and traversing the solar system is naturally a piece of cake.

Although Excalibur is a star-forged holy sword, it doesn't specify the size of the planet.

Given the power levels of the gods in the Type-Moon world, only a handful can reach the level of exploding planets, and the one who forged this sword is not among them. Therefore, the planet that could be used to forge it must be a planet much smaller than Earth.

However, once completed, this holy sword is still quite powerful.

After finishing all that, Shirou checked the time required to forge the Star Forged Holy Sword.

["Excalibur" forging progress: 0.1% (Estimated time: 215:49:11)]

It will take about nine days and will consume more magic power.

Now that we have the God-Slaying Spear, there's no need to waste any more time here.

On Monday morning, Shirou took Erica and Liliana directly by plane to London.

London, the capital of the United Kingdom of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, is the largest city and the largest economic center in Europe.

As a leading world-class city, London is undoubtedly one of the world's wealthiest, most economically developed, most commercially prosperous, and highest-standard-of-living cities.

As the world's largest financial center, London also controls 45% of the world's foreign exchange transactions and the pricing power of commodities such as gold, silver, and crude oil. It is also the world's largest center for banking, insurance, futures, and shipping.

The sheer power and wealth of the Council of Sages, which has taken root in this city, are self-evident.

That's why, apart from the Demon King, probably no one else in this world has the ability to look down on them.

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Entertainment Circle is Truly Chaotic

With the financial resources of a magic society, they do have private jets, but in reality, there is no need for them, and Shirou doesn't consider himself any superior.

When facing other Demon Lords or rebellious gods, Shirou naturally displays his 'king' side, but when facing ordinary people, he appears gentle.

Like many others, at first glance he is just a handsome young man, and no one would associate him with an existence like a 'godslayer'.

As the passenger plane soared through the sky, the clear blue sky above the clouds could be seen through the window, a region that could almost be described as one of the most breathtaking places in the world.

At this moment, Shirou was sitting in a first-class seat, propping his cheek up with his hand, looking at the mythology book in his hand with a bored expression.

In his hands were books and materials about Greek mythology.

After all, he had recently killed Hephaestus, one of the twelve Olympian gods of Greece, and learned from him that other gods would also appear in the world. So Shirou is now basically certain that he will be fighting more Greek gods in the future.

Excluding the minor deities, Shirou was certain that he would be facing mostly the Twelve Olympian Gods.

"Hephaestus and the others are third-generation gods, which means that one of the third-generation gods will appear, or perhaps all of the rest?"

Shirou pondered this with some curiosity.

Of course, for him now, it doesn't matter how many gods come or how strong they are.

Shirou was more interested in what powers these gods would possess.

As he looked at it, Shirou suddenly remembered the portrait of Zeus he had seen in a hotel in Thessaloniki, Greece's second-largest city.

"'God King'... I wonder how strong he is..."

The materials naturally contain a great deal of stories about this renowned 'God King'.

For example, when Zeus's advances to his sister Hera were rejected, he forcibly took her as his wife. Even after Hera became Zeus's wife, Zeus still coveted the daughters of mortals or demigods, using sweet words to deceive them into his hands.

Knowing all this, Hera, consumed by jealousy, dared not retaliate against Zeus. Instead, she vented her anger on the women Zeus had deceived and their children, trying every means to kill the children and, if she failed, to turn the women into beasts.

After learning of Zeus's ways, the other gods followed suit and began to descend to earth to harm innocent young girls, and even some handsome young men were not spared.

After reading this story, Shirou was speechless.

"Your entertainment circle is really messy..."

As the story unfolds, Shirou finally discovers some useful information for himself.

Zeus was the son of Cronus, the second generation of the 'king of the gods'. Cronus became the second generation of the king of the gods by overthrowing his father, Uranus. When he overthrew Uranus, the angry Uranus made a prophecy to Cronus that was like a curse: Cronus would also be overthrown by his own son.

Cronus was terrified of this prophecy, so for every child he had with his sister and wife Rhea, he would eat one of them, swallowing his own child whole.

Zeus was the sixth child. When he was born, Rhea could no longer bear it and managed to save him.

When Cronus grew up, Zeus drugged him, causing him to vomit up all his brothers and sisters.

In gratitude to Zeus, his brothers and sisters gifted him their most powerful weapon, the thunderbolt.

Then, Zeus united the people and launched a war against his father.

That terrible war lasted for ten years and nearly destroyed the world, but it was never able to determine a winner.

Later, Zeus followed the advice of his brother Prometheus and went to rescue the imprisoned Cyclopes and Hecatoncheires.

To repay Zeus's kindness, the Cyclops and Hecatoncheires who were rescued gave Zeus the "lightning bolt," Poseidon the "trident," and Hades the "helmet of invisibility."

With the end of the second generation of gods, the world came into the possession of the third generation of gods.

However, Zeus and his brothers were at odds over how to divide the rule of the world, leading to numerous conflicts.

Ultimately, they decided to use a lottery to determine the world's ruler.

Zeus received the sky and became a god.

Poseidon received a share of the sea and became the god of the sea.

Hades was assigned to the underworld and became the King of the Underworld.

……

Shirou couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

"Compared to Jiangnan, the gods in Western mythology are closer to human in character. This epic story eventually begins to depict the seven emotions and six desires."

After finishing reading, Shirou closed the book in his hand and looked out the small window of the airplane.

The plane is currently crossing the Strait of Dover between London and Lille. From the window, you can see a vast expanse of blue sea below, which is reflecting fluorescent light under the sunlight.

“Your Majesty, we will be arriving in London soon.”

First class is all single seats, and Liliana and Erica were sitting in the back seats.

At that moment, a flight attendant slowly walked towards them and handed Shirou some wine and food.

Compared to economy class, first class isn't actually that much more comfortable. After all, the size of an airplane is limited, and a large number of passengers need to be crammed into a limited space. So, the area of ​​first class is also limited; it can't be like a luxury hotel suite.

I'll arrange something for you.

However, the various perks still make it worthwhile for first-class passengers to spend their money.

Shirou, of course, enjoyed the wine and food without any hesitation, while admiring the sea view outside the window.

Just then, a patch of white clouds visible from the airplane window was suddenly covered by dark clouds, turning the entire sky gloomy and plunging the airplane into darkness.

The staff immediately turned on the plane's lights, which calmed the somewhat agitated crowd down.

However, just as everyone was barely calming down, as dark clouds continued to gather outside, a strong wind suddenly rose, and the overcast sky was suddenly filled with thunder and lightning. Lightning bolts kept moving among the dark clouds, while also carrying their own unique flames that scorched the clouds.

Rumble!

A clap of thunder sounded, and the passenger plane, which looked like a fragile little bird in the sky, suddenly began to shake violently, causing the passengers inside to scream in alarm.

"It's over, we're dead!"

"Did we encounter a thunderstorm!?"

"God, please protect me! My girlfriend is waiting for me in London!"

"I don't want to die! I don't want to die in the sea!"

Passengers inside the cabin screamed and cried. The flight attendants, equally panicked, tried to maintain order, but it was difficult for them to stand still in the turbulent cabin.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Zeus, the King of the Gods!

The captain, who was in the cockpit, also looked completely bewildered.

"What happened? Why was it sunny just a moment ago, and then suddenly turned into a thunderstorm?!"

After inquiring with the air traffic control center, the captain did not receive a specific answer; no one could have predicted this sudden disaster.

Moreover, the scene in the sky was far beyond the limits of what the captain could imagine. The lightning bolts floating in the clouds were not like messy lines, but rather thick bolts of fire.

The deafening thunder and howling winds transformed the sky into a terrifying spectacle far exceeding the intensity of normal severe convective weather.

While everyone else was in a panic, Shirou and the others remained remarkably calm.

"Your Majesty, what should we do? It seems we've been caught in a thunderstorm?"

Erica asked with some concern.

As witches whose strength is among the best in the world compared to ordinary people, Erica and Liliana both possess magic that allows them to fly, which is why they are completely unconcerned about the possibility of their plane crashing into the sea.

But Liliana was more worried than Erica.

She wasn't worried about herself, but about these ordinary people.

However, the situation doesn't seem to be that serious yet, so Liliana can only stay quietly and hope for a good outcome.

Compared to Erica and the others, Shirou's gaze towards the window carried a hint of surprise.

"The realm of the sky... could it be..."

Just then, Shirou suddenly saw a human-shaped figure flash across the dark, stormy sky, where a moment of daylight was created by the spreading lightning.

Upon seeing that scene, Shirou's pupils contracted instantly, and he stood up without hesitation.

The flight attendants, who had also noticed Shirou's actions, quickly spoke up.

"Passenger, please return to your seat and fasten your seatbelt. We will..."

Before the flight attendant could finish speaking, Shirou reached out and grabbed the cabin door.

Under the somewhat stunned gazes of the others, Shirou exerted a little force, and the hatch shattered open, falling directly into the sea with a gentle push.

In that instant, the change in pressure between the inside of the plane and the outside world caused everyone to feel a tremendous suction force. If they hadn't fastened their seatbelts, they would have been pulled out by that suction force.

Just when everyone in the cabin thought they were doomed, Shirou cast a spell at the cabin door, and the pressure inside the cabin instantly returned to normal.
