After taking a deep breath, Saber looked at the radiant God of Disobedience before him and called out the other's name.
"Gao Wenqing."
"Gawain, the Sun Knight?"
Erica was slightly surprised to hear Artoria's words.
Even within the entire Knights of the Round Table, Gawain, the Sun Knight, was among the most powerful. As King Arthur's right-hand man, mythology even claims that he possessed strength no less than that of King Arthur.
Thinking of the knight's legend, Erica couldn't help but look up at the sunlight overhead. Considering the conditions, this kind of terrain seemed somewhat disadvantageous.
However, the thought of Su Mo's overwhelming strength immediately dispelled her slight worry.
On the other side, seeing that Artoria had indeed recognized him, Gawain no longer had any doubts.
He immediately knelt on one knee, showing submission to Artoria before him.
"My king! It really is you!"
Even though he could tell that the other party was in a worse state than a god, Gawain did not hesitate at all.
For him, who adhered to the eight virtues of chivalry, as long as the person in front of him was King Arthur, no matter if the other party was not a god, or even if the other party had become a mortal with no power to kill a chicken, he would still be his lord.
When facing one's lord, one should naturally offer the utmost loyalty.
“Gao Wenqing, stand up. Although I am indeed King Arthur, I am probably different from what you think.”
Even Artoria was stunned for a few seconds when she saw a god-level being kneeling before her.
However, thanks to Wang's experience, she quickly adapted.
Although their strengths are completely different, Gao Wenqing, regardless of which world he is from, seems to be equally loyal and righteous.
"Yes!"
Gawain naturally wouldn't refuse Artoria's orders.
After getting up, he also expressed his doubts about what Artoria had mentioned.
"The king is indeed quite different from what I remember. Putting aside the height issue, why are you wearing a battle skirt? And your hair looks a bit androgynous?"
Although Gawain phrased this statement very tactfully, his core message remained the same.
—My king, why are you acting like a woman?
In his memory, King Arthur was incredibly tall and had a much more rugged appearance; he was a large, muscular man.
The man in front of me was petite, and his clothes and hairstyle didn't give off any manly vibes.
If it weren't for the familiar fluctuations of the other party's spiritual core and their imposing aura, he would never have guessed that this was his master.
Hearing this question, Artoria almost choked.
"Ahem! I am a woman by nature, but I have been disguising myself as a man to inherit the throne!"
"what?"
The disobedient god before them was somewhat dumbfounded.
Is this how it was in mythology?
Having resolved this doubt, Gawain glanced around, his gaze lingering on Su Mo and Tony for a moment, before speaking to Artoria.
"If I heard correctly, the king just addressed this god-slayer as Master."
"It is a knight's duty to be loyal to his lord, and I have no intention of admonishing you on that point... But what are you here for, to execute this fool's son?"
When he said that last sentence, he was clearly referring to Tony.
No matter how you look at it, this guy looks like a sacrificial offering about to be made.
"...This disobedient god, can't you say something nice? Stop reminding my best friend to kill me!"
Tony was utterly speechless. (247)
They finally encountered a disobedient god, but not only could they not fight, they were also mocked by him.
If he weren't incapable of fighting, he would have definitely given this disobedient god a good beating with his sword.
"No, Master doesn't intend to execute him yet."
Artoria shook her head and immediately added a sentence after answering Gawain's question.
"There's something you seem to have misunderstood: I'm not from your world—"
Just as she was getting to the crucial part of her explanation, a chilling roar suddenly echoed from the sea, interrupting Artoria's voice.
"Gao Wenqing, what are you doing? It's still broad daylight, yet you've already lost sight of your king?"
Apart from Su Mo, who had already noticed, the others immediately shifted their gaze to the direction from which the roar came.
Not far from the port, atop the surging waves, a rebellious god clad in full knight's armor charged towards the port.
This disobedient god was not wearing a helmet, so Gawain saw his appearance and sensed his divine nature immediately.
"Arthur...King?"
Having confirmed that the disobedient god in the distance must be his queen, Gawain turned around in confusion to look at Artoria, who, although she did not possess a godhood or a spirit core fluctuation, was exactly the same as the king.
Why are there two kings?
The unparalleled loyal Sun Knight was somewhat bewildered.
059 The God-Slaying War Was Too Short
Standing in front of the port of Sardinia, with two King Arthurs on either side of him not far away, Gawain was unsure which one to believe.
"You're saying you're King Arthur?"
"Are you King Arthur of this world?"
The two King Arthurs looked at each other across the distance, both with expressions of curiosity.
At first, Arthur thought someone was impersonating him, but once he got inside, he realized he was wrong.
Under his spiritual senses, he could perceive that the other party possessed the red dragon bloodline, the elven blessing, and the Excalibur sword, all of which seemed to be genuine.
Even he himself couldn't detect the problem with the other party's spiritual core fluctuations, let alone others.
Gawain, standing to the side, keenly noticed the problem with Artoria's statement.
"Your Majesty, what you just said about this world?"
"Yes."
Artoria nodded, and only then did she have the opportunity to introduce herself.
"Although I am King Arthur, I am not King Arthur of this world."
"Parallel worlds, I understand."
Arthur and Gawain nodded, revealing expressions of knowing full well.
The world of Godslayer also has a vast number of parallel worlds. The divine realm is located outside this world, and the existence of parallel worlds is not a secret to the gods.
After clearing up the misunderstanding, Gawain suddenly looked at Arthur, who was refusing to comply.
"Your Majesty! Although I find it unlikely, I'll ask anyway: are you also a woman disguised as a man?"
"of course not!"
Arthur replied, slightly speechless, "No."
"it's a pity."
Gao Wen shook his head.
"?"
A big question mark appeared above Arthur's head.
"I apologize, king of another world. The god before me is my lord."
After confirming each other's identities, Gao Wen made his choice without hesitation.
"It doesn't matter, we're just serving our own masters!"
Artoria shook her head and looked at Su Mo.
She never intended to bring Gawain from the other world under her command; to her, the Knights of the Round Table had been completely destroyed with the fall of Britain.
Hearing her words, Arthur, who had been resisting, finally turned his gaze to Su Mo.
After a brief explanation, Gawain realized that the god-slayer before him was the very lord he served in the other world.
So, Arthur, who refused, raised his longsword, pointing the tip at Su Mo, his smile sharp.
"To gain the approval of King Arthur of another world and become the master of the Knight King, one must be a brave man who would not shy away from battle, right?"
In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere changed from reminiscing to a tense standoff.
"Is your fighting spirit so strong, my lord? But I don't really want to attack a king, even if he is a king from another world."
Gawain sighed, but still followed behind the defiant Arthur, drawing his holy sword from his waist.
"What a stupid thing to say!"
When faced with his subordinates' outdated ideas, Arthur reprimanded them on the spot for not following them.
"If a god encounters a god-slayer, would he really expect to escape unscathed?"
"Besides, the one who truly wants to fight may not be me... Rakshasa King, am I right?"
When he said that last sentence, his eyes were fixed on Su Mo.
For some reason, seeing the other person's calm demeanor made him instinctively feel uneasy.
Su Mo immediately nodded in response to Arthur's question.
"Although your appearance was unexpected, I really don't intend to let you go."
