From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 453 The Curtain Falls on England
Yes, even though Sunak rallied the already decrepit Great Britain, rousing them to their full courage and strength, and unleashing a powerful barrage of firepower in front of the entire world.

However, this firepower still seems insufficient when facing extraordinary opponents.

Or rather, it's not good enough at all!
After all, Gareth, the Knight of the Round Table, could summon the red dragon with a single gesture, and summon dragon breath with another.

The cone-shaped flames raged through the Thames River, shattering the superstition of all modern nations about "modern weapons"!

"This is an attack no less powerful than a thermobaric weapon, and it's clearly more effective against this kind of monster!"

Almost all modern weapons experts have conducted a complete analysis of this attack and have made more speculations about the attack power of a red dragon.

"This red dragon's combat strength should be slightly lower than that of a complete battalion-level unit. Its firepower is about the same, but its defensive capabilities are significantly stronger!"

"So what should we do if we encounter each other?" Macaron's question was very direct.

Those who control a country are very suspicious. The first thing they think about when they see this kind of existence is how they should deal with it if war breaks out.

As a long-time friend of Great Britain, France is naturally the most likely target for such a reaction.

Do you even understand the true value of the century-long friendship between Britain and France?
"We might need to use armor-piercing rounds to directly attack the Red Dragon's heart or head!" The staff's answer didn't offer Macaron much new information; instead, it made him even more irritated. "If we could hit it, would I need you to tell me?"

The most striking impression this red dragon left on them was its terrifyingly fast flight speed in the sky. Its Mach-level speed, combined with its completely unscientific biomechanical properties, made it a true monster of the sky.

They also calculated the possibility of air combat, and then sadly discovered that unless they launched multiple missiles in advance to track the enemy, they would have no chance of hitting them. If they were to engage in dogfights within their field of vision, they would have no chance of winning.

The immense pressure made each of them look somber.

"There's no need to worry too much. After all, our enemy is the English, represented by the Windsor family, not Great Britain, represented by the Celts—and they have no enmity with us!"

Someone said something that made Macaron breathe a sigh of relief.

That makes some sense. The British Empire of the Windsor family is a thing of the past. These bandits who have occupied Britain are about to be driven off the island. What am I worried about?
Will the new king make France his primary target as soon as he ascends the throne?
Absolutely impossible. He felt that the proportion of the Commonwealth that the other side would actually nationalize was higher than the proportion of the war with France. Besides, if a supernatural war really broke out, he didn't believe that the Papacy would stay out of it!
After all, the Gaul region is now almost entirely occupied by Catholic churches, and the reputation of being a Catholic's devoted son is not just empty words.

The Papacy's influence in France was second only to Italy and America, so the macarons changed quickly. Their country had very few myths and legends, and it was basically the Papacy's territory. Since they were all believers, they naturally chose to embrace the Papacy.

Thinking of this, he relaxed. "It's a pity I can't send messages to the British political scene to mock them anymore. None of my old friends are left. It's too tragic!"

This remark drew nods of agreement from those around them. Compared to their successful cooperation with the Vatican, their British counterparts were in a much worse situation.

Although the Papacy also emphasizes "discipline" and will purge certain nobles and officials who have done too terrible things, it is generally reasonable.

Unlike the Irish gods, who, because they were not of their own kind, directly engaged in great revenge, cleaning up everything that had been tainted by them!

The mass deaths of high-ranking officials and nobles even prompted many high-ranking officials in Commonwealth countries to flee in an emergency.

They dared not gamble on whether the Celtic gods would turn their attention to them. In their eyes, these little-known Celtic gods were synonymous with murderous intent. Despite having only appeared recently, they were far more ferocious and violent than the Papacy and the Aesir!
Therefore, they also brought Bai Yang a batch of willpower sufficient to sustain all his current plans. Of course, the outcome was tragic; the willpower of the entire Commonwealth region was completely harvested, and it may take more than a year to slowly recover.

"Mr. President, the other trial participants are approaching Tintagelburg!" Right there in the operations room, everyone who heard this immediately turned their attention from the Thames River, where the battle was still raging, to the large screen.

At this moment, on the light screen created by Merlin, everyone could see that before Tintagel Castle, the former King Charles was welcoming the trial participants. "Welcome to Tintagel Castle. Here, the final trial participant will be chosen. The sole victor will, under the watchful eyes of the gods, walk into Buckingham Palace and pull out the sword in the stone, the symbol of royal power!"

"But I must warn you here that what lies before you is not a smooth road, but a bizarre place filled with death and nightmares! Those who enter it, except for the true king, will never come out!"

"This is a one-way street where it's either death or becoming king!"

Hearing this, Edwin looked curious and asked King Charles, "Was it worth it for so many people to die for a throne?"

"It's worth it for the future of Britain!" Charlie said somewhat indifferently, "because if this selection doesn't continue, it will be the entire nation of Great Britain that dies!"

"The gods will not think there is anything wrong with this, nor will they have pity on humans; only humans will have pity on humans!"

He faced the crowd and, in the capacity of a former king, offered them this advice: "The druids have won us the chance to survive and have secured a new future for this kingdom!"

"I hope you can be kinder to the people of this country. We failed to do so, so we left—you can, and they shouldn't let you down!"

This message reached the entire Commonwealth, bringing tears to the eyes of many elderly people who still held the Commonwealth in their hearts.

"Your Majesty... thank you for still thinking of us..."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, we cannot help you..."

"The king has left, perhaps it's time for us to leave too..."

This great empire naturally still had its loyal followers, so this statement was less of a king's advice to them and more of a special farewell.

The government's demise was orchestrated by Sunak, who used a battle with superhumans to establish a new military name and, with that power, laid the foundation for the nation's future military and political future.

To complete this preparation work, he almost reverse-engineered the administrative and mobilization system of a certain country, giving that country a powerful ability to mobilize!
But this also means that the parliamentary and civil service systems that the British Empire was once most proud of have been completely destroyed.

Instead, the military mobilization and civilian deployment system emerged—which is more like the system of the former Principality of Ireland and the Principality of Wales.

The same applies to the national system. Wasn't King Charles's appearance and final words a farewell speech?

After issuing that special "All-Federal Proclamation," Charlie had already stepped down as king, and he could no longer speak in that capacity, nor did he theoretically have the opportunity to appear in public discourse in this world.

Isn't this appearance a special kind of farewell?
If his disappearance left people around the world who still revered the British monarchy feeling a sense of loss, then...

His reappearance, and the undisguised sense of loss and entrustment in his words, are telling the whole world that the former world hegemon, the troublemaker in Europe, the empire on which the sun never sets, the philanthropist, the world ruler, the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the Emperor of India, has completely abdicated.

The flag that once stood as the British flag will be completely lowered.

This nation, which has influenced the world for over five hundred years, and whose influence may not be completely eradicated even in the next five hundred years, has truly come to an end!
The world was truly shocked at this moment. This was extraordinary influence. Could such a great empire really have come to an end like this?

This is an extraordinary era, truly remarkable!
