Anime: Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon, picked up by the Knight King

"do not come!"

“This is my fight!”

"From now on, no matter if it's a god or a king, there will only be one white dragon in this world—and that's me!"

The White 19th Dragon roared proudly with an attitude of looking down on the world.

but--

"ridiculous!"

"You stupid guy, don't you understand?"

"This island no longer needs a king, let alone a god!"

"Destruction—now it just needs complete destruction!"

After hearing his domineering declaration, the British dragon that he suppressed was also unwilling to be outdone. It raised its ferocious dragon head and spewed black breath in all directions.

It was the most evil, filthy thing in the world. It was the despair and rage accumulated over the 46 billion years since the island's birth.

No holiness can resist such filth; no hope can overcome such despair.

As the world stands on the brink of destruction, this island cries out, and no one can comfort it.

——But, so what?

"victory!"

"No matter what, I still long for victory!"

Faced with the curses coming towards him, Shirataki did not dodge at all, and chose to use his body to bear the despair and anger from the island.

Standing thousands of meters away, Artoria looked at the white dragon standing on the ground with a panicked expression.

Black mud stained its sacred body and climbed onto its pure white wings. Its body no longer radiated a shining white light, but instead a deep blue light, as deep as the ocean.

"See, your curse can't do anything to me!"

"Even your anger cannot stop my desire for victory!"

Bai Long lowered his head and looked down at the dragon that he had pressed to the ground.

He opened his mouth slightly, and purple lightning flashed around him. The dark clouds in the sky were also dyed a chaotic purple - together with the blazing flames on the earth, they formed a composition resembling the end of hell.

"The outcome is decided, Demon Dragon!"

[Ding, you killed: British Dragon.]

[You gained: Growth value +10000.]

[Current Growth Value: 14500/10000 (Unable to Evolve)]

[You have obtained a new concept: Royal Power (activated)]

[You have acquired a new concept: Destruction (activated)]

[You have acquired a new concept: Despair (activated)]

……

The fire burned for seven days.

It burned down the city, turning the original chalk city into a real white land; it also burned the body of the dragon, causing it to disappear from the island along with its ambition to dominate the world, leaving no trace.

"The only thing left is to rebuild this city and deal with those alien races at the same time."

The white dragon transformed into a human form again and stood beside Artoria and said with a smile.

But looking at his current appearance, it was difficult for Altria to laugh again.

The shimmering youth from before vanished, replaced by a handsome, somewhat quiet young man. He wore a dark blue robe and a black crown entwined with thorns. His once sparkling blue eyes also vanished, replaced by a deep, dark blue.

——At that moment, Artoria suddenly understood why Shirataki had deliberately transformed into a human to meet her before the final battle with Vortigern.

"Please remember me as I am now."

That was what Bai Taki wanted to say to her at that time, but she was just grinning foolishly and marveling at it.

"Is it okay?"

Looking at Shirataki who suddenly became like this, Altria asked with some concern.

No matter how stupid she was or how little she knew about mysticism, she knew that this was definitely not the correct posture of the young dragon after evolution.

"It would be a lie to say it's okay."

"There's always some whispering noise in my ears, which is very annoying."

"But it's just a little annoying."

Shirataki pointed to his ears, looking indifferent.

At the same time, when he saw that Artoria seemed to be showing disbelief, he gave an example of an old woman who had already graduated from this world:

"Scathach, Scathach, you still remember."

"The price she endured was actually much more severe than mine—the curse of stepping into the divine realm as a mortal still causes her unbearable pain."

"But so what? After all these years, isn't she still alive and well?"

It must be admitted that Scathach held a very high position in the hearts of the Celts. Even Artoria, the Chosen King, nodded in conviction upon hearing the name of this brave teacher, no longer dwelling on the curse.

Then again, how many "curses" are there on your body?

In Artoria's understanding, the so-called "throne" was a curse. Anyone tainted by it must forsake all personal feelings and happiness, dedicating their lives to the prosperity of their nation. But even so, to protect the smiles on the faces of the British, she resolutely embarked on this thorny, doomed road, and became the King of Britain.

"But fortunately, these sacrifices are worth it."

"The humble king is dead, and the island's wrath has subsided."

"Next, it will be the real rule of the world, right?"

Looking at the gradually dispersing dark clouds and the grace of the sun emerging from the gaps in the clouds, the girl's face was filled with hope.

——Next, it was the era known as "King Arthur".

Chapter 53: The Final Glory of the Age of Gods

【Cret City】.

A month after Vortigern's death, Artoria officially launched the reconstruction plan of the fortress city.

Because the original buildings had been burned to the ground, the reconstruction of the city went surprisingly smoothly - it took less than three months to build a true "royal city".

Of course, eighty percent of this achievement should be attributed to Shirataki, or the fantasy species under his rule.

【Earth Fairy】.

This type of goblin is exceptionally skilled in construction, possessing the uncanny ability to conjure square marbles from thin air and even enchant them. Buildings constructed with these special marbles will have built-in defensive barriers and evil detection abilities, making them both aesthetically pleasing and practical.

This city, built jointly by humans and fairies and also called the symbol of this era, stands on this island that has escaped the crisis of world destruction.

"Look, what a magnificent city!"

Everyone who sees this city will sigh from the bottom of their hearts:

"Only a city this magnificent is worthy of our great king and our great god!"

They sang praises to this great era and great country.

Then, we can enjoy the peace that lasted for more than ten years with peace of mind.

……

Cretaceous City, the Temple of Light.

This was a slightly unusual day.

Altria, who had just celebrated her 30th birthday and could no longer be called a "girl" in terms of age or figure, walked into the transit station connecting the surface side of the world with the inner side of the world.

"Hello, Sister Wang—"

She immediately saw Morgan sitting in the side hall of the temple, doing something unknown.

And Vina, who was sitting next to Morgan, scratching her head and ears, as if she had encountered some difficulties.

Morgan snorted coldly when he heard Altria's call, as a response, and then turned to look at the two bottles of turbid potions emitting a strange smell placed in Vina's hands - then, as expected, Altria heard a burst of scolding like a storm, and Vina's silly laughter of "Hehe. Hehe".

"It seems she doesn't have any special talent for magic."

Artoria continued walking forward and finally found Shirataki teasing Fufu in the garden behind the temple.

Unlike Altria, whose appearance has changed drastically with age, Shirataki's appearance has remained unchanged, still looking the same as it did over a decade ago.

——This made Altria's heart, which had been hanging in the air, feel a little relieved.

She had been a little worried that Shirataki wouldn't be able to withstand the curse and anger of the island, but judging by his current condition, her worries were completely unnecessary.

Shirataki is in very good condition right now, or even very good.

As the Kingdom of Camelot continued to expand, so too did his power. Today, the divine power reaches almost every corner of the island—both divine and royal authority have reached their peak.

This is also one of the reasons why Vina suddenly wanted to learn magic.

As the "ether" content in the air gradually recovered, the island gradually returned to the level of the middle Age of Gods: crop yields increased, the number of fantasy species increased, and humans' perception of magic became easier...

Morgan, who holds the mysterious dominance over half of the island, is the first person to enjoy this "Benefit of the Age of Gods."

She became acquainted with the fairies of the lake and learned the goblin magic from them. Having finally found the right track, her strength improved by leaps and bounds, and in just a few years she became the second [Great Magician] on the island.

As for Vina's sudden urge to learn magic, but her lack of talent kept her from getting started, ultimately leading to Morgan's scolding... Shirataki could only say that the Blue-Eyes lineage didn't start out with magic. Quite the opposite, in fact. The Blue-Eyes White Dragon specifically criticized magicians!

"Let her be."

"She found something for herself to do, and it also gave me some peace and quiet."

"By the way, why did you come to see me? What slander did that magician tell you?"

Looking at Altria standing at the entrance of the garden, Shirataki picked up the little white animal rolling on the grass and asked her the purpose of her visit in a very firm tone.

——Although he didn't know why Altria came, he was sure that it must have been Merlin's idea.

Otherwise, Artoria would never have acted in such an "awkward" manner, standing at the entrance of the garden and not coming in.

"It was Merlin's idea. I asked him about it myself."

"Well... although Merlin did provide me with relevant information."

"It's the Holy Grail!"

A word that sounded very extraordinary came out of Artoria's mouth.

Shirataki had to admit that the moment he heard the word "Holy Grail", his mind was slightly dazed.

But then he realized that the Holy Grail that Altria mentioned was not the "Cup of Heaven" made by the three major families in Fuyuki City - but the real cup that once carried the blood of the Messiah.

It is said that this cup, which possesses great divine power, was scattered everywhere after the Messiah's crucifixion and ascension, and was eventually brought to the British Isles by a saint and hidden there.

"I asked Merlin, although the harvest has returned to the level of the Age of Gods, the population of this island is far greater than it was during the Age of Gods. Is there any way to make the crops more abundant again?"

"Merlin told me that it was an impossible task—and since it was impossible, there had to be a miracle of the same scale to match it."

Altria briefly explained the cause and effect.

"So, you want to find the Holy Grail? Do you want to send someone to look for it? Or do you want to look for it yourself?"

After listening to Altria's description, Shirataki nodded - although he didn't know where the Holy Grail was, since it really existed on this island, it should not be difficult to find it.

"No, there's no need to look for it anymore."

"???"

"Merlin said we're lucky. The current situation on this island has met the conditions for the Holy Grail to manifest itself—but from what he said, it seems he wants me to go to the Tower of Radiance and perform some kind of magical ceremony."

"By the way, do you know what that ceremony is?"

"...".
