Chapter 159 The Divine Sword Chooses Its Master! The New King Arrives!
Waking up from his life-and-death struggle with the King of Gods, Arthur immediately sensed the drastic changes within his body.
The Magic Conduction circuits that had once been engraved all over his body were gone, replaced by a more profound and savage curse power, surging and roaring within him than magic power.
His keen senses reminded him that deep within this surging curse power, there was still a terrifying great power waiting to awaken.
At this thought, he immediately closed his eyes, following the most primitive instincts of his body, and a trace of divine radiance ignited on his back.

...
Perhaps it was due to some damage to the ring of usurpation, or perhaps because Arthur himself possessed the Divine Grace.
Mekal's Authority was completely devoured by him, merging with his original power and completing its transformation together.
Using curse power as fuel to ignite divine radiance, what he now wielded was an Authority that only gods could master!
This was a mystery that transcended magic, a concretization of natural laws.
But thinking about Loki possibly throwing a tantrum and rolling on the ground, pointing at the changed divine pattern on his back when he returned, Arthur couldn't help but laugh wryly.
He quickly shook his head, gathered his scattered thoughts, and looked at Epimetheus, who had been waiting for a long time.
"In any case, having gained this power, I must thank you for your help."
Epimetheus shook his head calmly: "Please don't say that; you came to eliminate the evil in this world, and what I did was trivial."
Arthur nodded slightly, surveying the shattered Underworld, which was gradually being re-shrouded by gray mist, and asked.
"Then, how do I leave here?"
Epimetheus spread his hands helplessly: "For certain reasons, I cannot leave the Underworld. However, for your journey ahead, the will of this world will provide guidance."
As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Arthur's left palm.
...
Italy, Sardinia region.
On a remote overseas island, two figures, following a streak of platinum light, descended from the sky.
"Phew—it finally stopped."
The blonde girl, no more than twelve or thirteen years old, lightly patted her chest, her delicate, doll-like face carrying an unsuited mature charm.
"Uncle, can you determine the authenticity of this God Sword?"
The knight in shining silver armor shook his head indifferently, his reverse-thorn lance held high, his voice like metal and stone.
"My dear, the memory of this shadow has long been shattered. To verify its authenticity, one strike will tell!"
Guinevere quickly waved her hand: "Uncle, no! If it's genuine, this act will surely backfire, and the gain won't be worth... Huh?"
Before she finished speaking, the stream of light plunged into the ground suddenly receded, revealing a steel sword with two-sided blades and a thick spine.
The sword body was covered in rust, but in the next moment, a platinum destructive lightning erupted, and the soul-freezing pressure solidified the surrounding air!
Guinevere's delicate body trembled violently, not from fear, but from a deep stirring within her soul.
"My King... Guinevere... I finally found you!"
Lancelot, on the other hand, dismounted cleanly, knelt on one knee, and urged.
"My dear, do not be distracted; quickly awaken our negligent liege!"
Guinevere nodded heavily, suppressing her emotions, and clasped her hands in front of her chest.
As soft light bloomed, a cup-shaped container filled with shining curse power appeared out of thin air, pushed by her above the steel sword, its mouth slightly tilted.
Nectar as substantial as reality dripped down, soaking into the sword body, and a star-bright radiance erupted from beneath the mottled rust!
Guinevere dared not delay, chanting the ancient spell with a clear voice.
"O steel of the King, awaken from your long slumber!"
"More dazzling than gold, more flawless than silver, the sun, moon, and stars shall lose their luster!"
"Your handmaiden yearns to see your glory again! Salvation God Sword! The Last King! The Ancestress of Witches humbly implores you to bow your head!"
Boom—!
The Salvation God Sword completely erupted under the anointing of the Holy Grail, platinum light soared into the sky, the entire uninhabited island crumbled inch by inch, and raging waves surged!
As the vortex of light receded, a figure stepped out from its center, as naturally as if he had always been one with the light.
Arthur appeared here, guided by the will of this world, his right hand already grasping the reborn God Sword, facing the two astonished individuals.
"Let me state this beforehand," he held the blade horizontally in front of him, the cold blade reflecting his playful gaze, "I am not your King."
At these words, Guinevere and Lancelot were struck as if by lightning.
The former burst into tears, knelt on the ground, and cried out anxiously.
"How can this be! You came in accordance with the principle of salvation, a hero destined to slay the God-Slaying Demon King! You are our only King!"
"Sigh..." Arthur rubbed his temples, his head aching, "What you said, it's both right and wrong, and I can't really refute it."
He turned to look at the silent Lancelot: "What about you? Do you also think I'm the one you're looking for?"
The guardian shadow, with shattered memories, fixed his gaze on Arthur's perfect posture, holding the Salvation God Sword, and nodded steadily.
"To meet you again, I am deeply honored!"
After repeated unsuccessful persuasion, Arthur instead smiled.
He raised the God Sword, looked at his reflection on the blade, and chuckled softly to himself, the smile on his lips growing more intense.
"King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot... A salvation alliance made up of three imposters?"
"Heh, that's interesting. After all, to deceive a true hunter, you always have to put on a decent skin first."
