Or, why don’t you find another savior?

Xi Jian was surprised, and slowly realized a horrifying fact.

Cu Chulainn's appearance at singularity F and handing over the magic wand to him was undoubtedly arranged by the great god Odin.

It is said that the great god Odin hung himself upside down on the world tree for nine days and nine nights as a sacrifice, and after losing an eye he gained supreme wisdom.

The remaining eye has the power to see through many dimensions.

What did Odin, the great god outside the world, see with that eye that made him want to hand over "this weapon" to him?

Let a mortal wield God's weapon?

Just like Artoria who was entrusted with the divine weapon holy sword?

Just like every heroic spirit that possesses divinely created weapons?

This magic wand is not some top-level magic item made from branches of the World Tree, but a gun, a weapon that is perfectly suited to Shiomi's fighting style.

"Gungnir".

It is above the prototype red spear held by the master, the prototype among prototypes.

The magic wand was just a way to deceive people. Odin disguised his gun so that it could appear as a magic wand in Shiomi's hands.

The true face is revealed only when necessary.

Shiomi no longer had the energy to think about why the "Okami Declaration" revealed its true form at this time.

But in any case, it is impeccable as a weapon.

The Lion King stopped summoning the Holy Spear, and she returned to her previous state of silently watching the battle, but there was a fleeting change in the depths of her emotionless jewel eyes.

This battlefield no longer needs her mercy and interference.

Shiomi tightly grasped the golden-glowing "Okami's Declaration" and slowly stood up.

Above the dim battlefield, a ray of light suddenly emerged in the storm, making Vortigern feel an emotion called fear.

The white dragon struggled and roared, trying to break free from the magic power blocked by the red spear.

It's too late.

"The Great God's Declaration" is the spear of destiny. Once thrown, it will definitely hit the target and can penetrate any object.

"This is a blow that speaks of fate, bestowing upon all things in the world their destined death—" Shiomi decisively raised the spear of light and aimed at Vortigern's heart, "Be buried here, 'Declaration of the Great God' (Gungnir)!"

With the release of his real name, the spear of light flew out from Shiomi's hand without the need for throwing or exerting any force, and pierced through Vortigern's body and the heart of the white dragon with unstoppable momentum.

The roar stopped in an instant.

The huge body, which was as big as a fortress, collapsed in the heavy rain, and the white dragon gradually disappeared.

Shiomi slowly walked across the mottled battlefield and came to the place where Vortigern fell.

There was no longer any white dragon. All there was was a man whose body and hands were pierced by two red spears, and whose heart was pierced by a spear of light.

The man knelt on the ground and had stopped breathing.

Xijian stared at King Bei silently, recalling the legend about Vortigern.

His death marked the end of civil unrest in Britain.

After that, King Arthur conquered Rome. The ten-year journey finally came to an end, and he and the rebellious knights perished in the sunset of Camlann.

"It's really creative of you to deliberately make me experience your past battles backwards." Xijian sighed in a low voice.

The battlefield did not change anymore. Whether it was punishment or trial, it seemed that this was the end.

Xi Jian raised his hand and the three guns disappeared. The king, who had lost his support, fell to the ground, and his body was swallowed up by the muddy land bit by bit.

He raised his head, looked at the sky, and slowly fell down, not even noticing that the Lion King had come to him.

After raising his hand to wipe the blood off his face, the Lion King picked up Shiomi.

The dim battlefield disappeared in an instant, replaced by the palace of Camelot.

The Lion King went there from the throne and naturally returned here.

Neither the heavy rain nor the traces of mud had any effect on the pure white lion king. Only the scars on his body told him that everything that happened before was not an illusion.

She lowered her head and looked at the wounded Shiomi who was slowly walking towards the bedroom in the inner hall after a day and night of hard fighting.

"Well done. In this case, I can listen to what you have to say."

It doesn't matter whether Xijian can hear it or not. The Lion King said this and disappeared into the gate. He didn't even pay attention to Aguiwen who wanted to report the situation but was unable to speak in the end.

Behind him came Tristan and Gawain.

"The king is about to rest. Please report again tomorrow." Aguguiwen turned around and said to the two of them indifferently.

Gawain also saw the king leaving, but did not refute: "I understand."

"Sir Agguiwen, you don't look optimistic." The attentive Tristan noticed something strange and asked in a low voice, "Did something sad happen?"

"No, don't worry about it. Maybe it's just my illusion." Agguiwen said, "The king has already given up the human heart. It is impossible for such a stupid mistake to happen."

"What does this mean?" Gawain asked seriously.

Aguguiwen seemed to feel that once he said this, it would become a very serious accusation against the king and an act of extreme disloyalty.

But in order for the king's plan to be completed, he finally thought that he should tell Gawain and Tristan about this speculation:

"The king is a woman," he said.

"We all know this now." Gao Wen felt that this was unnecessary.

Aguguiwen walked out of the hall:

"So I'm just worried that the king might be bewitched by that man."

After hearing this, Gawain and Tristan fell silent to varying degrees, and they understood the sensitivity of the matter.

Even if I advise him in person, the king will deny it.

Chapter 31 'Round Table Meeting'

Lancelot was surprised by the Lion King's order to change guard, but he completed the handover with Mordred without complaint.

However, not long after Lancelot assembled his army and set out, someone from the Holy City came with a message, asking him to return to Camelot first.

This time the order did not come from the Lion King, but from the assistant officer Aguiwen.

Lancelot didn't know whether he had to return to the holy city to report on his duties or the Lion King had new orders waiting for him.

However, Lancelot still led a large group of people back to Camelot and went to the meeting hall where the Knights of the Round Table held discussions.

"What's going on, Agrawen? According to the king's order, shouldn't I go to the wilderness where Mordred was previously stationed and explore in the direction of the mountain people from there?" Lancelot asked Agrawen.

He also noticed that besides Agrawen who gave the order, Gawain and Tristan were also sitting at the long table in the meeting room.

"I have something for you to discuss, Sir Lancelot," Gawain said, "Please take a seat first."

Lancelot noticed that in addition to Gawain, Tristan, who was also present at the table, had some subtle expressions.

"What happened?" Lancelot thought that an unexpected serious situation had occurred while he was away from the holy city.

Tristan then spoke up: "We are worried that the king has been deceived. We are now in a state of hesitation, wondering whether we should advise the king to be too lenient in dealing with a certain matter."

"Bewitched?" Lancelot habitually looked at Aguiwen with suspicion.

During his lifetime, he always distrusted Agrawen and regarded him as an assassin sent by Morgan to the Round Table to compete with the king for the throne.

Moreover, whether in his lifetime or in the Holy City, Aguguiwen was in charge of all internal affairs.

"I called you all together this time because among the Knights of the Round Table, you three are the ones who understand women the best," Aguwen said, "so I have to discuss with you a topic that is somewhat disrespectful to the King."

If this is not done, sooner or later new rifts will arise between everyone and the king, hindering the king's great plan.

Every Knight of the Round Table who stayed behind understood that even if they helped the king complete his plan, they were not qualified to stay in Camelot and would be the last to be abandoned.

Even so, the knights did not hesitate or delay.

In order to protect the humans who remain, they believe they should sacrifice their second life.

"It doesn't matter whether the king is male or female. You should have known that you didn't choose to follow the king because of his gender, right?"

Realizing that the topic was not serious, Lancelot felt relieved but still asked seriously.

“But will a king who has never lived as a woman be bewitched by a man?” Gawain’s face was solemn, as if this question was very important.

Lancelot thought he had heard wrongly: "The Knights of Justice are all beings created by the king with the power of the Holy Lance. They have no independent consciousness. The only men left by the king are us. Who will——"

"Have you forgotten? Sir Lancelot... In this chalk city, there is a man who does not submit to the king." Tristan reminded Lancelot.

"...The Master of Chaldea?" Lancelot's eyes widened, sweat oozing from his forehead.

From the perspective of a knight and a man alone, Lancelot has a high opinion of Shiomi Tianxi.

Although he is a human, he can use the cursed red spear and can fight against the Knights of the Round Table. If the other party did not just want to warn and negotiate, Aggguiwen's head would have been pierced by Shiomi's red spear.

Besides, his appearance and demeanor were quite impressive, so Lancelot would not doubt if such a man had any romantic affairs.

It would be better to say that if you are with your companions, you can even discuss some women's topics.

But now, it is said that the king was bewitched by the captured man?

"Impossible. Even if the other party is indeed an outstanding man, how could a king who has abandoned his human heart and determined to practice the way of the lion be bewitched by such a person?" Lancelot slammed his fist heavily on the long table, and the armor and the table top made a dull sound.

Gawain frowned deeply: "You are right. Generally speaking, there are people who can bewitch the king... We also firmly believe that the king will not be bewitch by a mere man..."

"But Sir Lancelot, do you remember another thing?" Tristan said, "The Master of Chaldea is that man Morgan..."

"What—" Lancelot remembered.

Agguiwen, who was scratched by Zhu's spear, was because he spoke rudely to Morgan and called her a vicious woman.

They had all heard Morgan call Shiomi "my husband", and the meaning of this title was self-evident.

"He is Morgan's man, and he is Morgan's man who seems to be mentally normal and considerate of the overall situation..." Tristan sighed poetically, "Ah, I am very sad. If he is a man who can deceive Morgan, my king will only imprison him and will inevitably be deceived by his sweet words..."

"After all, we all decided to kill the Master of Chaldea there, but Lord Agguiwen brought the king's secret order, saying that he should be captured alive." Gawain turned around and questioned Agguiwen, "Why did the king make such an arrangement?"

The knights have realized one thing, that is, the Lion King had a reason from the beginning that he wanted to be captured alive if possible.

That man was even taken by the king to watch the "Holy Punishment", and even interfered during the "Holy Punishment", and attempted to escape with Morgan.

Although Shiomi failed in the end, the king did not publicly announce any punishment.

The most important thing is that the king made a forced contract with that man even though he didn't need a Master.

"The king's order is absolute." Agguiwen had a blank expression on his face, making it impossible to tell what he was feeling. "I asked Lancelot to return to Camelot just to discuss this issue..."

"I understand your concerns." Lancelot crossed his hands and rested his forehead on his gauntlets in pain. "If the king is bewitched by the Master of Chaldea... then everything the king has led us to do so far will be in vain."

He never dreamed that one day he would have to worry about the king being bewitched by a man.

Lancelot would rather worry that his heart would not be able to bear it all one day, and he would have to choose to beg his comrades to kill him like Gareth did.

"But what should we do? Is the king really bewitched? Should we advise him about this..." Gawain looked at the others, "If it is just our misjudgment——"

"Although it is sad, we should fulfill our duty as knights and remind the king when he may make mistakes."

Tristan expressed his thoughts.

This could also be said to be the voice of everyone at the moment, and the Knights of the Round Table saw the same determination on each other's faces.

Chapter 32: Mordred, close combat

Mordred, the only one who did not attend the "Round Table Meeting", was now leaving the wilderness and heading into the desert.

She had heard from Aguguiwen that there was a place called Atlas Court in the desert, which was an important fortress for human magicians.

Although there was no one inside, Chaldea would most likely investigate the place.

"But I didn't expect that Lancelot would secretly shelter those refugees who escaped the holy punishment. What a soft-hearted man!" Mordred rode on a horse and looked at the junction of the desert and the wilderness from the cliff.

There is a hidden village there. Although it is full of tents, it is undoubtedly a temporary shelter built with the supplies from Camelot.

"Excuse me, should we report this matter to the Holy City?" the Knight of Respect asked from behind.

Mordred raised his hand: "No need, just leave those refugees alone."

The Knights of the Round Table are all intelligent puppets who can understand orders and think about problems, but they are absolutely obedient to their Knights of the Round Table.

To Mordred, he is indeed a very useful soldier.
