No one knows King Arthur better than I do

As for being both a god and a human being, Karl also has some ideas of his own—anyway, his purpose is not to kill the ancestors of the gods. Under such circumstances, he feels that his idea is very feasible.

After all, half of the matter he had already seen in Artoria's future.

At first, he wanted to change Artoria's past in that future after seeing the future—that is, let Artoria make changes at this point in time, thereby disrupting the future.

But after seeing Arturia make a decision, he knew that Artoria's thoughts might be similar to his.

Although he didn't know exactly what Artoria saw, her actions were obviously similar to what he had done at first—but she was planning to do something in this era to disrupt Karl's future.

Now that Artoria did this, Karl also made targeted changes.

——Since Artoria intends to disturb my past in my past, then I will destroy Artoria's future in her future!

So, Karl needs this gun!

The knockoff version of Gungnir is more than enough.

But the real Gungnir is clearly better.

only…

"If I pull out the World Tree itself—that is, Gungnir from the Hanging Garden, then the World Tree will disappear, and will the embers of the gods in Ireland begin to dissipate, and eventually it will become impossible for you to even survive. Is there a problem?"

Hearing what Karl said, the goblin shook his head.

"No, king, the embers are following the branches of the world tree, that is, Gungnir - in other words, when you pull out the gun, the flames will rest on you. As long as you don't die , then the Age of Gods will not come to an end, but what comes with it is that when the time comes, you will no longer be able to escape.”

These goblins are very smart.

They have seen from a long time ago that Karl actually does not want to be the king of kings.

He just wants quiet days.

That's why the goblin didn't tell Karl about Gungnir before.

It is because the title "King of Kings" is not just a name. If you really wear this crown, you will bear the burden and responsibility of the survivors of the Age of Gods.

By that time...

"You probably won't be able to live the leisurely life you want again."

"So you'd better think about it carefully. This matter itself is not enough to break off the branches. After all, the branches in the Hanging Garden are essentially Gungnir. They are either completely destroyed or they are continuous. There is no way to break them like you said As I said, it’s just a single branch—even if you really break off the things that seem to be branches, what you get is actually something that has no effect.”

"I'm not forcing you to do anything—even if you don't pull out this gun, we live in a land of ten thousand races, and the races that have enjoyed the blessings you have brought will firmly believe that you are our king. The savior of the world—so if what you are talking about is not so important, then maybe we can think of other ways."

Hearing what the goblin said, Karl suddenly seemed to know what Arturia had seen.

So he laughed.

——If Arturia saw something like this, then it wouldn't be surprising what kind of decision she would make.

——After all, that person is always so accurate that people are speechless only when he thinks about other people.

Since that is the case...

"no need."

Carl raised his head and looked at the hanging garden far above the clouds, his eyes gradually became firmer in about a minute.

"—Send me up!"

……

24. Draw the gun!parallel lines converging

According to Karl's request, the goblin sent him to the Hanging Garden.

When he got here, Carl felt the air around him - what a hot eye!

If Scathach hadn't prepared a lot of equipment engraved with runes for him in advance, Karl felt that he might be fainted by the flower before he could walk in front of the World Tree!

No wonder the Viking king was so proud of being here for 10 minutes.

——He is really strong!

After bringing a variety of equipment, Karl walked through this small hanging garden and came to the World Tree in the center.

He hadn't actually thought about it before coming here.

draw guns...

If it was a gun stuck in the ground, then you might pull it out easily.

But this guy is a tree!

Do you want him to hug the tree and pull him out?

With this in mind, Carl walked slowly in front of the big tree, stretched out his hand, and let his palm touch the body of the tree in front of him.

In an instant, flames rose in Karl's chest.

——that was his flame.

And he can also feel that there is a flame burning in the core of the world tree.

Along with Karl's hand came into contact with the branches of the world tree.

The two groups of similarly awakened flames began to resonate.

Under such circumstances, Karl still has room to refuse.

This kind of resonance is not mandatory. If Carl gives up at this time, then he can return to his original position and his comfort zone.

——Just as Karl has always imagined.

In this life, I live in my comfort zone, and never take even a step outside.

But in his comfort zone came Morgan, Artoria, Scathach, Lancelot, Knight Kai, King Burino, those survivors of the Age of Gods, and even Caesar, Merlin, and the ancestors who didn't have much contact with them. Nero...

These guys either stood by his side, or stood on the opposite side of him.

But in short, I move with their movement.

The comfort zone is opened unconsciously.

What appeared in front of him was a road that he didn't know where to lead.

Should we move forward?

Karl didn't know it himself.

If it was him alone, then he would probably step back at this moment, at most he would stop, and he would never take the initiative to take a step forward.

This is his shortcoming.

It's his immaturity.

But things are different now...

It wasn't him who was walking on this road. If he looked to the side, he would find that Arturia was actually here, and even stood in front of him, helping him to block the unknown from the frontmost position. with fear.

——She must have seen her own shortcomings and immaturity in the future, so she made a decision and planned to do something by herself.

Thinking of her like this, Karl took a deep breath, and then took the initiative to extend the flame in his body towards the position of the World Tree, directly connecting with the flame at the core of the World Tree!

The retreat has since disappeared.

Then...

——From now on, we can only move forward!

☆

"Arthur, are you really thinking about it?"

Merlin brought Arturia to the Holy Lance Rungomigniad.

Fortunately, this gun was transferred to this position by Merlin before, otherwise, if it wasn't in the secret realm of the fairy in the lake, then Merlin really couldn't help it.

But after arriving here, Merlin, who had been silent from the beginning, finally couldn't help but speak.

"After pulling out this gun, the result may not be what you want. Even so, do you have to pull out this gun?"

"Ok!"

"Your decision to pull out this gun may not necessarily be the right one. Even so, do you want to pull out this gun?"

"Ok!"

Merlin asked the question twice, and after Artoria affirmed twice without hesitation, Merlin finally sighed and stepped aside.

At this moment, Artoria thought of the future she saw, and slowly walked in front of the holy gun.

She originally thought that she might hesitate when she came here, but in fact, after she came here, she found that her hand had already held the handle of the holy gun unconsciously.

And Carl is also doing this.

The flame burned in the center of the hanging garden, and after the two flames merged into one, the huge world tree became a golden spear inserted into the ground.

Carl's hand was on the spear.

The same goes for Artoria's hand.

Before they arrived, both of them felt that they might still hesitate, but in fact, they both held the guns in front of them without hesitation.

——If the god ancestor can only be defeated with a gun!

Carl's hand began to work hard.

——If only a man and a god can defeat him!

Arturia increased her strength.

"Then it's up to me to break it!" ""

At this moment, their thoughts finally came together.

Karl directly pulled Gungnir out of the hanging garden, and the flame ignited the entire hanging garden in an instant.

The flame that he carried, the burning flame, even directly ignited the embers of the Age of Gods, and made the embers of the Age of Gods burn even more vigorously.

This kind of flame devoured the surrounding flowers, devoured all the concepts of life of these flowers that would basically never die, and then penetrated into Karl's body from all directions.

The cold energy originally in Karl's chest was completely burned, and the power belonging to the white dragon was perfectly integrated into Karl's body.

His hair grew longer, his eyes turned into golden dragon pupils, and black horns grew on the top of his head, extending from his chest to his chin. Red runes emerged from under his skin and flickered.

——That is the scale armor that belongs to the dragon!

After the scales emerged, Karl's heart completely turned into a burning flame.

At this moment, he is a man, a dragon, or a god——

It is the Guardian lit by the last embers of the Age of Gods!

The last glory of the age of gods.

If he exists, the Age of Gods will not end.

He is Karl, the Age of Gods itself, the king of the survivors of the Age of Gods, the King of Kings!

The same changes did not occur only here.

After Arturia pulled out the holy spear, countless rays of light poured into her body directly.

In the light, her body shape gradually changed.

He has grown taller, his hair has grown longer, his armor has changed in the light, and the parts that Karl has always criticized have also changed. .

Such Artoria turned around after the light ended.

At this moment, her originally tied hair was completely loosened, and her long golden hair was freely scattered behind her.

Now she has only Merlin by her side, and next she will go to the outside of the secret land to find those knights waiting for her.

And then—it's time for her to wage war on Rome!

After she walked out for a while, Merlin's voice was heard again.

"Arthur, if you go to Rome this time, this country may be destroyed-do you really think that your current behavior is correct, or necessary? Don't you think about it before you actually do something, in case What happens if you fail?"

Hearing Merlin's words, Artoria spoke with her mature voice.

She has long since stopped hesitating.

So now she is much calmer than her original self.
