I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Unfortunately, she could only return the collected essence to the land of Great Britain, and had no way of returning it to this land.

Considering that the ley lines on this planet are connected, if she gave her essence to the ley lines of Great Britain, this side should... also recover, right?

Headache……

Artoria was really worried that if one day she absorbed all the essence from other places and put it into the veins of Great Britain... would it cause Britain to return to the Age of Gods and destroy all places outside Britain?

This has brought out the British Anecdote Zone. I wonder if Chaldea will come to chop down the trees...

Oh, I'm from Chaldea, that's okay.

Altria was about to leave, she also wanted to go see Liliana.

The death of the oldest godslayer, Marquis Vauban, will probably cause quite a stir in this world... but that has nothing to do with Artoria.

"Before leaving, there are some minor troubles to deal with."

Black flames once again emerged from the Sword of Promised Victory.

A torrent of black light erupted, swallowing up the light and moving straight forward.

Artoria raised her head and stared in the direction where she had just fired the light cannon, with no emotion in her bright golden eyes.

"You're running so fast... Is that the power of divine speed? How troublesome."

Besides the protagonist of the original work, Altria only remembers one person who possesses the power of super speed.

Artoria withdrew her gaze and turned her head to look in another direction.

"But there's one more..."

……

On a mountain far away from the battlefield where Artoria was, a young girl was kneeling.

Her long golden hair, delicate doll-like features and frail body all evoke infinite pity.

She was gazing into the distance, watching the mythical battle unfold.

Suddenly, she seemed to sense something, and there was hesitation and panic in her eyes.

"Not good! I've been discovered!"

The blonde girl tried to escape, but faster than her was a meteor burning with dark flames.

"Oh!"

The "meteor" fell beside the blonde girl, and a knight's sword stretched out from it and was placed on the blonde girl's neck.

It's as if it's saying "If you dare to move, you will die."

Amidst the smoke and dust, a figure covered in hideous armor slowly emerged, with a pair of vertical pupils staring intently at the blonde girl in front of him.

It should be the first time they met, but... Altria felt that the other person was so familiar.

The other party must be feeling the same way, right? Altria saw a strong sense of hesitation in those amber eyes.

Realizing this, the smile on Altria's face turned malicious.

"Guinevere? What are you doing with such a ridiculous gesture?"

The moment she saw Altria, Guinevere felt a certain throbbing in her heart.

Something that the other person possessed was attracting her so deeply that she wanted to drop everything and go to the other person.

This is not normal!

This is so abnormal!

What on earth is wrong with me?!

She bit her lips hard, and the pain made Guinevere's thinking a little smoother.

"Who...are you?"

"What? Don't you recognize me?"

Altria's tone was a little playful.

"My name is Altria Pendragon, Arthur the Disobedient."

“This is impossible—!!”

The rebuttal was so decisive that it was almost a roar.

Guinevere stared at Altria with eyes that seemed to be burning, a bit hysterical.

"Whether I'm lying or not, you should know better than me...my princess."

"..."

What the other party said is very true.

The woman in front of me... is indeed King Arthur.

In mythology, the name "Guinevere" belongs to King Arthur's queen.

Although she was King Arthur's queen, Guinevere betrayed King Arthur and eloped with Lancelot. During the escape, Lancelot killed several of his fellow Knights of the Round Table. This incident was one of the important reasons for the disintegration of the Knights of the Round Table.

Looking at Altria, Guinevere's body, divinity and soul were all telling her that the woman in front of her was the real King Arthur.

but……

"The king can't possibly be a woman!!"

Otherwise...what exactly is this feeling in my heart?!

Guinevere, who had lost her mind and become crazy, even forgot that Artoria's sword was at her neck, and she was about to collide with the blade.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed Guinevere's shoulder.

"Calm down! My beloved daughter."

Behind Guinevere, a person covered in white armor, whose gender could not be identified, suddenly appeared.

"Uncle..."

"My beloved daughter, do not give up thinking. Your wisdom is your most powerful weapon. Do not throw it away!"

The White Knight's persuasion worked, and after taking a few deep breaths, the madness in Guinevere's eyes became much less.

"...Thank you, uncle. Guinevere almost lost her composure and caused irreparable consequences."

Artoria on the side looked at the white knight who suddenly appeared and smiled slightly.

"Sir Lancelot...are you going to raise your weapon against me for Guinevere?"

"...I am truly terrified. I cannot do such a ridiculous thing."

Lancelot bowed his head towards Artoria, the piety in his tone moving.

Guinevere turned to look at Lancelot, "Uncle! She is not..."

"I know very well that she is definitely not the king..."

After a pause, Lancelot spoke in a low voice, "But... she is indeed the real King Arthur, completely different from the disobedient Arthur who was born not long ago. Even if we don't want to admit it, we can't change this fact."

"Gu..."

Guinevere squeezed out an unwilling sound from her throat.

And Artoria showed some interest in what Lancelot had just said.

"Has there been another disobedient Arthur before me?"

In this world, myths are extremely confusing. Some gods have several prototypes and several sides, so even the same god may be summoned in several different forms.

For example, the Persian god of war Veleslana. Veleslana is his Greek name, and his Persian name is Bahram. In Armenia, he is called Vahagn. He is regarded as the same existence as the great hero Hercules in Greek mythology, and he is the same divinity as Indra in Indian mythology.

Chapter 378 Do you want to stay with me?

"Yes, my king, a few years ago, there appeared a disobedient Arthur."

Lancelot humbly answered Altria's question, "It's just... he was just an imposter whose very self was in disarray, so he was easily defeated by those godslayers."

The strength of the God of Disobedience does not depend entirely on its appearance in mythology or how widely the belief is spread, but on whether it has an unshakable self.

The strength of God is directly proportional to the strength of self-seriousness.

Therefore, Arthur the Disobedient, whose own self is in chaos, can be said to be the weakest god of disobedience.

Looking at Artoria, whose expression was calm in front of him, Lancelot pondered for a moment and then spoke bravely.

"My king, I would like to know... the powerful power fluctuation that suddenly appeared in the British situation not long ago and affected the entire world... is it yours?"

"Hmm? Well... because I had just arrived in this world, I had a little trouble controlling my power."

"Really? Thank you, King, for being willing to help us."

After getting Altria's answer, Guinevere's eyes became a little more sad.

The reason why Lancelot asked this question was that after sensing the powerful fluctuation of power, Guinevere was very sure that the Last King had arrived.

Even though she didn't know why the Last King suddenly appeared without any warning, Guinevere, overwhelmed by the joy of reunion, didn't care.

However, before Guinevere could reach the source of that power, the other party disappeared.

Only the land that was severely devastated by the battle between the gods remained.

Guinevere had been searching for her all these days, until she met Altria, only then did she realize that the one she had been thinking about was not the king...

Broken expectations result in equal amounts of loss.

Artoria looked at Lancelot and Guinevere.

"You are indeed 'Lancelot' and 'Guinevere'... However, you are very different from the Lancelot and Guinevere I know."

"How about it? Do you want to stay with me? Sir Lancelot, Guinevere."

Guinevere suddenly raised her head, as if shocked by what Altria said, especially when she heard the other party calling her name, her expression showed strong hesitation and struggle.

Although Lancelot's expression could not be seen, he must be feeling uneasy inside.

The silence lasted for a long time.

"…I'm sorry, King."

A dull sound came from the helmet, and one could feel the pain of the person who made this choice.

"Really? Then there's nothing we can do."

There was no surprise on Altria's face, but her eyes were slightly lowered.

Guinevere is not "Guinevere" and Lancelot is not really "Lancelot".

In the distant past, they had another past, but their present is distorted by myths.

After being distorted, they forgot their previous names and memories, and only remembered that they were subordinates of the Last King and their duty was to awaken the Last King.

Loyalty to Artoria has been engraved into the godhood of both of them, because Artoria is the true King Arthur recognized by the world and destiny.

Guinevere was okay, as in the myth she had betrayed King Arthur once... but Lancelot was different. In the myth his loyalty to King Arthur never wavered from beginning to end. After sending Guinevere to a safe place, he returned to Camelot as a sinner and asked for the king's punishment.

Influenced by the legend, Lancelot must be in pain at this moment... He rejected the king's invitation because he still had a mission to complete.

Lancelot and Guinevere still needed to work on awakening the Last King, so Altria let them go.

The two of them will not be his enemies...and Artoria actually wants to awaken the last king Rama.

As far as she knew, the Last King Rama had actually been tired of it for a long time. The reason why he had not woken up yet was because he was unwilling to wake up. He no longer wanted to fight.

Therefore, whether for the sake of preventing this world from being destroyed or for the sake of the last king Rama, Artoria hopes to defeat Rama.

In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to wake it up first, which requires Lancelot and Guinevere to do.

Of course, Artoria did not intend to tell Guinevere where the Last King was sleeping, because Artoria now had no chance of winning against the Last King.

She hoped to kill more [Steel] to strengthen herself, and if possible, kill a few more God Slayers, because the God Slayers strengthened Rama more than hers, and reducing the number of God Slayers could help her narrow the gap.

However, that is something to do later.

As for now...

"After such an intense battle, my stomach is almost empty."
