After leaving the world of all NPCs

"Aizi, it's time," Lancelot whispered.

Guinevere nodded, held up the cup with both hands, and chanted softly: "Holy Grail! The fountain of life left by the White Goddess! Please respond to the daughter of the goddess!"

The virtual golden jar slowly emerged.

——The Magic Holy Grail.

It was once the supreme artifact dedicated to the Last King, forged with the life of the Earth Goddess Guifefar.

The Holy Grail has the property of absorbing the life force of Mother Earth and storing it.

The vitality stored in it was once lost because of Alec, but fortunately, the [Pillar of Hera] that gathered the power of the earth veins was discovered in Naples not long ago. With the help of the [Pillar of Hera], Guinevere slightly recovered some of the cursed power.

"King of Crete, father of the Minotaur, priest of the sacrifice..." Guinevere's voice echoed like a ballad, "Please listen to the girl's request and send her fragments to the earth!"

The Holy Grail burst into dazzling golden light, and its shape gradually expanded, transforming into a ten-meter-tall bull-headed giant god - Pseudo-Minos.

The majestic human-shaped body is covered with bronze muscles, with a ferocious bull head and red eyes. It steps on the void and walks side by side with the divine horse.

"Roar--!"

Pseudo-Minos roared to the sky, and the sound waves dispersed the surrounding fog.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Lancelot's eyes: "Go forward, use it as a guide, and break through this maze!"

Just as they were about to approach the island, something strange happened.

call--

The invisible thick fog suddenly condensed, and the strong wind cut like a knife. Shenma's body suddenly stopped and was blown back dozens of meters!

"The maze is rejecting us!" Guinevere gritted her teeth.

Pseudo-Minos roared, and stomped his hooves heavily on the void. The magic power spread like ripples, temporarily dispelling the obstruction of the fog.

But the next second, the sea surface suddenly exploded, and several water columns shot up into the sky like giant spears, almost piercing through the divine horse.

"There's no end to this!" Lancelot said coldly, "Minos, break through with all your strength!"

Pseudo-Minos roared to the sky, his body suddenly twisted, and he completely turned into a violent giant bull, rushing into the depths of the maze like a meteor!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Every time it advanced a certain distance, its body broke apart a little, and blood spilled into the sky.

But it still charged forward regardless.

boom!

The power of the maze completely collapsed!

The body of Pseudo-Minos also exploded at the same moment, turning into golden light and dissipating.

The Holy Grail reappeared, suspended in the air, its light much dimmer.

"Success!" Guinevere said happily.

Lancelot suddenly pulled the reins, and the divine horse stopped with a neigh.

"wrong……"

Before he finished speaking, the sea surface below suddenly caved in, and a pitch-black sphere with a diameter of tens of meters slowly emerged, and the terrifying gravitational force instantly enveloped the two of them!

"The Devil's Ball of Greed?!" Guinevere's face suddenly changed. "It's the power Alexander usurped from Behemoth!"

The Shenma struggled frantically, but was stuck in a quagmire and couldn't move forward.

Lancelot's whole body was filled with magical power, but even so, he could not escape the terrifying suction!

"Gascoigne... you planned all this!" Lancelot growled through gritted teeth.

At this moment, a black shadow slowly walked out of the fog. It was a giant beast with the head of a bull and the body of a human.

It is the incarnation of Alec's power and the manager of the [Great Maze].

Holding a giant axe, it approached step by step, with cold murderous intent flashing in its eyes.

Guinevere gripped the Holy Grail tightly, her fingertips turning white. "Uncle...we've fallen into a trap."

Lancelot was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"That's all right." He slowly drew out his magic spear, pointing the tip directly at the beast. "Since he's set up a killing trap, then—break it!"

hum!

Lancelot's silver-white armor trembled slightly under the gravity of the magic ball, but the tip of his spear was as steady as a rock. He suddenly exerted force, broke free from the restraints, and rushed towards the bull-headed beast like a meteor.

The gun flashed.

The Minotaur didn't even have time to wail before the divine spear pierced its head. Its huge body fell to the ground with a bang and turned into black mist and dissipated.

but--

At this moment, the magic ball's gravity suddenly disappeared.

Lancelot's strength was instantly wasted, his body leaning forward slightly due to inertia, and an unnatural stiffness leaked out from the gaps in his armor.

"Oops!"

Bah——!

Lightning tore through the sky.

Alec's figure flashed like a ghost, and his arms wrapped in lightning grabbed Guinevere's waist.

Before the girl could even scream, she was swept up in the [Super Speed].

The scene before my eyes instantly blurred into a pale blue.

When her vision cleared again, Guinevere found herself standing on a deserted island.

call!

The salty sea breeze blew in my face.

The dilapidated lighthouse in the distance cast a long slanting shadow in the setting sun.

Alec loosened his hand, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Guinevere, we finally have a chance to be alone together."

Guinevere's blonde hair was disheveled in the wind, and the hem of her black dress rustled in the sea breeze. She raised her eyes coldly and responded surly, "That kind of statement is only suitable for lovers. You are completely unworthy of the title of 'Prince' and have no idea how to treat a noble lady."

"I was so close to meeting the 'King of the End', but you brought me to this place..."

"You even separated me from my uncle. What on earth do you want to do?"

Alec shrugged, his tone casual but sharp: "Given our relationship, some things don't need to be said explicitly."

"How much trouble have you caused by clinging to your past master?"

"I'm tired of it. I don't want to keep you company any longer."

"Among those who died because of your conspiracy with the God Ancestors, many were my friends and subordinates."

"Now, it's time to settle this debt..."

He seemed to have thought of something and added, "Oh, and the lady whose health has been deteriorating since she sealed Arthur, her debt will also be attributed to you."

Guinevere's pupils contracted slightly.

Memories of eight years of struggle came flooding back.

If she was just a nagging witch, perhaps Alec wouldn't be so obsessed with destroying her, just like he did with the princess...

However, if you want to release the Last King, the nature of the matter will be different.

Although other godslayers knew of the existence of the Last King, they would surely be excited and release themselves voluntarily so as to have a satisfying battle.

Alec believes that he is different from other godslayers and is a rational person...

Therefore, he should prevent the Last King from being released.

"Even if you are the Witch King, you must repay your debts." Alec smiled, but there was no warmth in his eyes. "Today, please accompany me to finish this debt collection drama."

Guinevere's antique doll-like beauty now shone like a demon. "You found the 'master's' resting place before us, set a trap, and separated my uncle and me. Now you dare to accuse me with such pretense? Alexander Gascoigne, you are truly disgusting!"

"I'd like to continue admiring your ugliness, but time is precious." Alec turned a deaf ear to her rebuke and just smiled sarcastically: "Now, make your choice."

"Are we going to abandon the 'King of the End' who is right before our eyes and run away with our tail between our legs?"

"Or are you going to risk your life and use your last trump card?"

Under normal circumstances, Guinevere would choose the former and wait for Lancelot's rescue.

But at this moment, she is standing on the edge of the cliff, what choice will she make?

Just as Guinevere gritted her teeth and hesitated—

“No need to choose.”

A flat voice came from behind the ruins.

Ye Zuochen walked out slowly, his black hair ruffled by the sea breeze, and his eyes swept over the two of them calmly.

"This island is not the resting place of the 'Last King' at all." He looked at Alec, his lips curled slightly, "It's just a trap you set."

Alec's expression changed: "Why are you here?"

Ye Zuochen looked at the island and said leisurely, "The Duke of York has a familiar named 'Orion Flying Lion', a satellite that needs to be launched into space and then produce derivatives to form a skynet. The entire sea area is under my constant surveillance."

Alec frowned and said, "You shouldn't be able to see the scene inside the Great Maze."

"More than that..." Ye Zuochen added, "The God Slayer's anti-fate force and the God's destiny gravity will interfere with the Orion Winged Lion's reconnaissance. However, this place is not within your Great Maze. Similarly, as long as we can determine where the 'unobservable' phenomenon occurs, we can determine your location."

Guinevere came back to her senses and looked at Ye Zuochen in disbelief: "This isn't Avalon? Impossible! I sensed the spiritual energy of the Savior Sword from that island!"

Alec said calmly, "I found a decayed fake of the Savior's Sword in Indonesia and gave it to Chen to keep."

In other words, the previous island was just a trap set by Alec.

Ye Zuochen added, "To be honest, if you hadn't gone to the trouble of stealing my broken sword, you would have probably succeeded by now."

"Really? I don't believe it." Alec said noncommittally.

Ye Zuochen said bluntly, "I've said it before. I'm a godslayer traveling across the multiverse. I use different worlds as hunting grounds, summoning disobedient gods and enjoying the thrill of duels. If it weren't for your interference, I would have already returned to my chosen hunting grounds."

Alec: "..."

Ye Zuochen continued, "It's too arbitrary to make inferences based on excessive experience. You should know that I'm a very easy-going person. I even teamed up with the Marquis to duel, and gave the chosen witch, the one you threw into the South China Sea, to Tony."

Alec's cheek twitched slightly, and his tone was a little unhappy: "What do you want to say?"

Ye Zuochen said directly: "Return the broken sword of Tian Congyun to me, and I will end this feud with you."

Alec said, "I never give back what I have obtained."

"Out of your dignity as the world's number one phantom thief?"

"of course."

"That dignity might as well be flushed down the toilet."

Alec straightened his neck, showing his willfulness as a godslayer... He was wrong, but he refused to change!

Guinevere blinked and suddenly revealed an innocent smile: "Since that floating island is not Avalon, and my Lord is not on it, then I will take my leave first~"

The air solidified instantly.

Ye Zuochen and Alec turned their heads at the same time, their sharp gazes piercing the Divine Ancestor Girl like knives.

Bah!

Alec's body burst out with dazzling lightning, and his body instantly turned into a bolt of lightning and went straight to Guinevere

No matter what, this nagging witch must be completely wiped out today!

Just as the lightning was about to touch Guinevere.

Gulu!

A strange blue-black light appeared in Ye Zuochen's throat.

"—This throat is where the Great Freedom Heaven melts the poison. Your life is like a mayfly on the morning dew, all will return to the blue flame in my belly—"

A dark crack suddenly appeared in the space beneath Guinevere's feet, like a huge mouth of the abyss, swallowing her in an instant.

"Eh?"
