This knowledge would prevent them from appearing too out of place in that era.
"Appear beyond the wheel of suppression, guardian of the scales."
Magic formed his body, and the knight buried by history reappeared in the glorious hall. Fujimaru Kyoya opened his eyes and finally saw clearly who was summoning him.
“Artoria? No, you are… Rungomminiad.”
Above the magnificent and sacred hall, a woman sat on a throne, her eyes cold and indifferent as she surveyed Fujimaru Kyoya, whom she had summoned.
As for the figure standing beside him.
"It's been a long time."
Gawain, Tristan, Lancelot, Agravain... and a female knight who looks a lot like Artoria, could she also be Artoria's sister?
"Vortigern's blade, I need your strength."
Rungomminiad reached out his hand, seemingly hoping that the knight before him would offer his loyalty.
This time, the destruction of humanity was irreversible. She needed to preserve enough human specimens to prove to future civilizations that "humanity" had once existed.
To accomplish this, she needed powerful knights, and the Knights of the Round Table were the best choice. However, the moment they were summoned, they turned on each other due to their differing ideologies, and now only half of them remain.
She longed for a knight of absolute loyalty, and so she remembered the man who fought to the last moment before the sacred tree.
Lloyd, Vortigern's blade, was the only man worthy of entrusting everything to.
really?
"Before this matter, could you please leave my friend's sister's body, Holy Lance Rungomminiad?"
Stepping forward, drawing the sword, and slashing—all in one fluid motion.
Fujimaru Kyoya's sword showed no mercy, slashing directly at Rungominiad's face, and at that instant, all the Knights of the Round Table sprang into action.
Agraven stood in front of Rungomminiad, shielded, where he could exert the least amount of power in such a battle.
Gawain and Lancelot immediately raised their knight swords to intercept Chang Qingyongche's sword strike.
Tristan's silk threads spread out all around, restricting Fujimaru Kyoya's range of movement as much as possible.
Mordred swung her sword down, and in that situation, Fujimaru Kyoya had no choice but to retreat.
"Boom!"
A violent red magical energy filled the air, and Fujimaru Kyoya realized that the youngest female knight in front of him was already a force to be reckoned with, just like Artoria back then.
“Lloyd, you must not be disrespectful before the King.”
"King? Gawain, are you blind? This guy has the Holy Lance Rungomniad inside him, and your king is Atolis, not Artoria, right?"
Although Fujimaru Kyoya knew that Gawain was a gorilla with muscles growing into his brain, this time even his eyeballs had degenerated into muscles.
Even though the Atolis siblings look alike, they are still a pair of jujubes, snow-white jujubes.
Is this guy just going to ignore it?
"Although it is incredible, the king himself was a woman, a fact that the king has confessed to us, so it is normal that King Arthur was a woman."
Lancelot, being the first Knight of the Round Table to learn of this, offered an explanation, only to be met with...
"So you stole his wife?"
"This matter has been tacitly approved by the king."
Seeing that Fujimaru Kyoya had calmed down, Agranovich intended to use his domestic affairs skills to ease the situation, but he also received a remark...
"Weren't you the one who led the way in catching adulterers? Stop pretending."
In that instant, the Knights of the Round Table felt their blood pressure rise, and they were once again certain that the person before them was their enemy.
Let's stop here.
Even Rungomminiad, whose divinity surpassed his humanity, sensed the tension.
"Back then, King Arthur revealed his identity as a woman to the Knights of the Round Table in batches. As for the later events involving Lancelot and Guinevere, they were just part of a pre-arranged script."
Artoria understood back then that she couldn't hide her identity as a woman forever, especially after she got married.
The Knights of the Round Table were loyal beyond question. Artoria not only revealed her identity as a woman, but also truthfully told them about the crisis of the decline of the Age of Gods at that time.
With the collective wisdom and efforts of the Knights of the Round Table, a series of actions began.
Instead of exterminating the Anglo-Saxons, who were the invaders, the Anglo-Saxons were allowed to assimilate into the Celts, thus perpetuating the Celtic bloodline through interbreeding.
Then came the collapse of the Camelot dynasty.
The original plot was simple: the queen had an affair with Lancelot, and King Arthur, driven by love turned to hate, started a war. In the midst of the war, King Arthur became tyrannical and was eventually overthrown by his illegitimate son Mordred, who had a change of heart.
However, an unexpected turn of events occurred in the end. Mordred, unwilling to let Artoria bear a bad reputation, took it upon herself to rebel and assume the role of the villain.
King Arthur remains a shining figure in history, a flawless king.
Chapter 120 Offering Loyalty
"I see."
Fujimaru Kyoya finally understood everything from back then; it turned out that this group of movie stars were just performing according to a script.
Lancelot went berserk and killed a bunch of Knights of the Round Table?
It's fake, just ketchup.
Was Agguwen instantly killed?
It's fake; he just faked his death and infiltrated behind the scenes.
As for Mordred, she abandoned her own "protagonist script" and took over the "villain script" that originally belonged to Artoria, ultimately ending her life as a rebellious knight.
During this process, there were knights like Tristan who could not accept the ending of Artoria as a "tyrant" and ultimately chose to leave.
There are also knights like Mordred who give everyone a "surprise" at the end.
Although the tragic ending still exists, it is the best ending that everyone chose together, and it is an era that the Round Table has created together.
This is probably why Artoria pursues the Holy Grail; because the ending wasn't good enough, she hoped for a better one.
An ending worthy of these Knights of the Round Table.
"Now that your doubts have been resolved, I will ask you one more time: can you offer your power to me, Lloyd, the blade of Vortigern?"
Explain with emotion and reason.
Rungomminiad extended the invitation once again, harboring a deep-seated desire to save humanity, a desire that stemmed not only from humans but also from this very body.
It is for this reason that many Knights of the Round Table regard him as "King". Because of the regret of not being able to walk together in the past, the Knights of the Round Table are destined to stay together this time.
“I understand. You want to save the world, and you need my power. But things are different now. We are all dead. There’s no need to hold grudges over things from our past lives.”
Fujimaru Kyoya breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, Rungominiad not only explained the disintegration of the Camelot Dynasty in great detail, but also made the current situation of humanity crystal clear.
The Noble Phantasm of a Grand Servant: a great halo that burns away all reason.
Faced with such a crisis, humanity has no chance of winning, so it is necessary to select outstanding humans, make them into "specimens" to prove that humans once existed.
Like amber.
"So, did you agree?"
“I refuse. My favorite thing in life, Lloyd, is saying ‘No’ to those self-important guys.”
Fujimaru Kyoya refused. That "Human Specimen Project" was even worse than the "Human Orange Juice Project." He really didn't know what was wrong with these guys' brains.
Or is it that Gawain's muscle skeletal disease is contagious these days?
"Back then, you were a loyal knight who protected the Age of Gods. I originally thought you would support me, but I never expected to be betrayed."
A hint of disappointment appeared on Lungominiad's face. She possessed an extremely high level of divinity, and it was difficult for anything to move her. But Fujimaru Kyouya was different.
He was the last knight under the sacred tree, which had blessed him, and he had done his utmost for the tree.
The "betrayal" brought about by such a person must have had a significant impact on her.
"When I was summoned, I was given the knowledge of this era. Humanity has not completely lost hope, has it?"
Chaldea, humanity's last Master.
Fujimaru Kyoya understood that humanity was still striving in this apocalyptic world, so what kind of thing would it be to give up so hastily?
"Vortigern did not back down when faced with the decline of the Age of Gods, but you have not learned even a little of Vortigern's good qualities. Who is the real traitor?"
"Those were those days, and now is now."
If Vortigern faced the entirety of Britain back then, then Rungomminiad now faces the world-destroying magic of the Burning of Humanity.
"And you lost back then."
Indeed, Vortigern and Fujimaru Kyoya lost back then, and lost cleanly and decisively without any suspense. Under Artoria's sword and sheath, it seemed that no force could stop her.
No one loses forever.
Fujimaru Kyoya is neither afraid of losing nor being defeated. As long as humanity still has "hope," then humanity has infinite possibilities.
"I don't understand."
Rungomminiad is a goddess, and although she is merciful, this mercy is an unbearable burden for mortals.
Her compassion had reached the point of cruelty.
As for whether Chaldea can defeat this Humanity Burning Style?
This is almost impossible.
"It's incomprehensible; humans are such wondrous creatures."
Fujimaru Kyoya's answer silenced Rungomminiad, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually grew cold and heavy, as if Rungomminiad would be filled with murderous intent at any moment, and the Knights of the Round Table would kill their nemesis in the first instant.
“An interesting answer. Are you willing to gamble on the possibilities of humanity? Then Lloyd, pledge your allegiance to me now.”
Rungomminiad seemed to have figured something out. The usually stern woman showed a rare smile as she stepped down from her throne and demanded that Fujimaru Kyoya pledge his loyalty.
"The mastermind Chaldea is facing is more powerful than all of us combined. If they can't even defeat us, how can they continue to advance?"
Rungomminiad was, after all, a goddess, and her wisdom was by no means lacking. Since Fujimaru Kyo wanted to give humanity a chance, then so be it.
But if you give someone an opportunity, you also need to put them through a test, right?
