Anime Crossover: Unparalleled Comprehension, Shocking the Star God

If she remembered correctly, the other party had already perished along with the other members of the Knights on the eve of the final battle.

Even if the person in front of him is the real King Arthur, he is definitely not the child he raised.

So, after a few seconds of silence, she finally spoke.

"I am the Halloween Queen, just call me Queen."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Artoria looked up at Su Mo...

She only accepted the title after Su Mo nodded.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. I am Master's Servant, named Artoria Pandoragon."

"Hmm, good boy, I'll give you a little gift later."

The Halloween Queen smiled, a rare occurrence, and spoke to Artoria with unusual gentleness.

After she finished speaking, she looked up at Su Mo and finally guessed what Su Mo was thinking.

"Does Your Excellency Su Mo intend to have this child stir up trouble, attract the attention of the mastermind behind the scenes, and thus expose the enemy?"

Given her intelligence, it wasn't difficult for her to guess Su Mo's plan.

"Yes."

Su Mo nodded slightly.

"A hero who should have been killed by a demon king controlled by the gods suddenly appears in the Garden of Bamboo. At this moment, whose reaction will be the strongest?"

"Wonderful!"

Having said all that, even White Demon understood Su Mo's plan.

"At this moment, the most anxious people are definitely the masterminds behind the scenes. They are worried that the survivor might say something that cannot be said."

"So, all we need to do is observe the movements of the gods to find out who's up to no good!"

The white-haired loli became more and more excited as she thought about it.

They almost thought they were about to uncover the enemy's identity.

At this moment--

"No!"

The Halloween Queen shook her head, indicating that she was not optimistic.

"If it were simply King Arthur's return, the mastermind might not act immediately. They might think that I summoned King Arthur again. If that's the case, they might only choose to wait and see."

As mentioned before, the Halloween Queen is a being capable of summoning any Celtic god group.

This naturally includes the Knights of Avalon, who have been completely wiped out, as well as King Arthur.

However, after the existing gods die in battle, the individuals summoned through mythology, although they have the same spiritual status as the original individuals, do not have the same memories and are not the same people at all.

The reason why the Halloween Queen has never used this trick herself is because of point 5.6.

The King Arthur summoned again is a completely new knight, with no memory of the attack, and naturally unable to identify the culprit.

Knowing this, the mastermind behind the scenes is unlikely to react excessively.

Su Mo's strategy naturally failed.

"This still doesn't work?"

White Demon stared wide-eyed, feeling extremely disappointed.

"Does that mean this move is completely useless?"

If the gods believe that Artoria is King Arthur newly summoned by the Halloween Queen, they are very likely not to take the risk, making it difficult to determine who the mastermind is.

"From a generally rational point of view, this seems to be the case."

Hearing what the two said, Su Mo shook his head slightly.

"But what if we make a slight change, so that the gods believe that King Arthur could not possibly have been summoned by the Queen this time?"

"Make a slight change? To make it seem absolutely impossible that King Arthur was summoned by the Queen? How is that possible!"

White Night Demon scratched his head, wondering how Su Mo would do such a thing.

The Halloween Queen looked puzzled, unsure of what to do.

"it's actually really easy……"

Su Mo smiled slightly.

223 Black Saber, Demon King Artoria

"What if King Arthur appeared in his demon form this time?"

Su Mo casually uttered words that slightly surprised the three of them.

"Demon King?"

Artoria tilted her head, not quite understanding what her master meant.

"In this world, anyone who abuses the authority of the organizer will be branded as a demon king. However, it won't be that troublesome for you."

As he spoke, Su Mo reached out and placed his hand on Artoria's head.

"Just bear with it a little longer."

"Master!"

Feeling the warmth of her Master's palm, the golden-haired girl relaxed slightly and rubbed against Su Mo's palm obediently, like a large cat.

Just then, Su Mo grabbed Artoria's ahoge (cowlick) and gently plucked it.

At the same time, the power of Zoroastrian cosmology—the dualism of good and evil—was activated, and a black and red wheel appeared within the flames.

Like a sovereign above good and evil, Su Mo, who had devoured Angra Mainyu and the entire Zoroastrian pantheon, gently shifted the balance of good and evil, transforming Artoria's originally radiant soul of light into a state filled with darkness.

In an instant, good and evil reversed, and spirituality changed.

Along with the change in her aura, Artoria's entire appearance also changed.

Her originally golden hair turned slightly pale, her bright silver armor and white battle skirt switched to black and red, and her clear, holy blue eyes transformed into intimidating vertical pupils like a dragon.

His originally beautiful appearance remained unchanged, but his temperament changed from that of a wise king to that of a tyrant. The clear light that once shone in his eyes disappeared, leaving only a slightly arrogant and sinister aura.

In the blink of an eye, Artoria switched to Black Saber mode, and the aura of all 23 people became much colder and sharper.

Even the way she looked at Su Mo, although her loyalty remained at max level, revealed a burning passion in her eyes that she couldn't hide. Unlike the calm and self-controlled Saber who knew how to restrain her emotions, Black Saber might not adhere to knightly etiquette in this regard.

Given the opportunity, she might try to retaliate or overthrow her superiors physically.

If the previous Artoria was an upright and honest knight king, then her current appearance would make anyone who sees her think she is a demon king.

"There's even this form? So cool!"

Upon seeing the Black Saber before him, Shiroyasha's first thought was still somewhat absurd.

"I see, so this is how you draw a line..."

In contrast, the Halloween Queen quickly understood Su Mo's meaning and nodded thoughtfully.

"If I were to stand in the eyes of the gods, and if I were to summon King Arthur, I would never allow her to embark on the path of the demon king in order to revive the Celtic gods."

The mere abuse of the organizer's authority by the demon king is no big deal to beings of their rank (in the hundreds or even thousands).

In the dawn of the miniature garden era, who wasn't a demon king?

Even Indra, the current leader of the heavenly army, was once an evil god and demon king who carried the banner of Zoroastrianism. He killed many gods. Who would dare to bring up this past now?

Not to mention the Halloween Queen, a notorious problem child, and the White Demon, the former human's final trial.

As long as those who choose to cooperate with the gods after the dawn of the Little Garden ends, even the Demon King will be tolerated or even redeemed. This is basically an unspoken understanding. Only those like Argel, who are clueless about the situation and still act recklessly, will be punished.

However, times have changed, and so has the tolerance for demon kings.

In this day and age, let alone the terrifying existence of the Final Trial of Humanity, even an ordinary Demon King is enough to cause widespread panic.

The tragedy of the vampire clan in the past is proof of this.

It was merely the birth of a demon king, yet he was stigmatized by poets and feared by everyone.

In the end, the entire race transformed from Little Garden Knights into lowly monsters.

While the lack of powerful backing was one reason, the biggest reason was that times had changed. The vampire clan's protection was too effective, and people hadn't seen a real demon king for too long, yet they still retained their fear of demon kings. As a result, any organization that gave birth to a demon king would be viewed with suspicion.

Under these circumstances, an organization that gave birth to a demon king would almost certainly not gain people's approval, let alone revive the divine order.

Therefore, in the eyes of the gods, Black Saber could not possibly be an entity summoned by the Halloween Queen.

Then the problem is coming.

If Artoria wasn't summoned by the Halloween Queen, then how did she end up in the Little Garden?

"When they attacked the Knights of Avalon back then, were there really no survivors? Could the Demon King who dispatched them on that mission really be trusted...? The mastermind behind it all must be thinking that!"

Su Mo said with great interest.

“Once suspicion arises, they will definitely take corresponding actions.”

The Halloween Queen's eyes lit up slightly.

"As long as we keep an eye on the God Group, we can find clues about the mastermind behind it all!"

This was the closest she had ever been to the mastermind behind it all, so it was impossible for her not to be excited.

"The only side effect of this plan is that if the news of King Arthur's fall into darkness spreads, it may be detrimental to the Celtic pantheon."

Seeing the Halloween Queen's excited expression, Su Mo reminded her.

"Are you willing to take such a risk to retaliate against the gods?"

"risk?"
