116 The Possible Extinction Of Humanity

:

Athena's wrathful scoldings set in the surroundings with the manifestation of the anger of the darkness incarnate.

"Master Athena, that is already a thing of the past, I'm no longer Gwenhwyfar, as a divine ancestor my name is now Guinevere. Moreover, even if there was no me, the fate of the mother goddess is already doomed."

"In fact, when I saw you, I was thinking about whether you should also become the one who will revive the king with your earthly nourishment."

After a moment of silence, Guinevere kept smiling politely, but the words she said were extremely harsh, she was not afraid of Athena, because–

"Even if you kill me here, I, who possess the immortality of the white dragon of England, will still be resurrected. At most, it will take a little longer to resurrect."

"Gwenhwyfar, you-!"

Athena's angry flared up, her fists clenched tightly and her body trembled slightly, but Guinevere was right.

The witches who have fallen from the mother goddess's position to become divine ancestors, unless they give up willingly, they will be like snakes shedding their skin for a new stage, entering the cycle of reincarnation, they will reincarnate again.

Roy gently cradled Athena's shoulders, making her relax, and then raised an eyebrow at Guinevere and inquired with an amused expression:

"Miss Guinevere, I am a godslayer, and the last king, my archenemy. Why should I help you wake up my enemy from his slumber?"

"Please forgive my disrespect from beforehand, Mr. Roy. After learning about your magic eye, I have been stalking your left behind scent secretly from the netherworld, but you have never been to the slumber grounds of the 'king'."

"If you were really wary of the 'king', after seeing his records of killing so many godslayers from the past, you should have atleast tried to impose some seals to make his slumber last longer.... which I think may not really work, but still just in case.″

"…But you didn't do this, so I ventured to guess that your purpose is same as mine. You want to wake him from the deep sleep. Mr. Roy is truly like a hero, even knowing that it might kill you, Mr. Roy is waiting to challenge a strong enemy to resist your own death bravely."

Guinevere talked eloquently, soundly and logically, she did correctly guess a part of Roy's thoughts.

He indeed didn't impose a seal on the rest ground of the Last King, because any type of seal made with his current strength will not able to hold against the force of destiny.

"I once promised Athena to break the last steel with her, whether we actually cut the last steel in the end, or are killed by it, I will not violate this agreement!"

Roy's voice passed by, crisp, sonorous and powerful, with a heartbreaking domineering feel.

Athena glanced at him with a beautiful smile and praised:

"Roy, this goddess has decided with just this sentence, even if you really fall into the underworld in the end, this goddess will be there to be the queen of the underworld. The identity is there to accompany you, so that you will not be alone and rule the realm beyond mortality!"

"It is an honor, the Godslayer who defeated this Athena, even the heroes of the Greece Mythology were just treated as mere puppet to exist only for the enjoyment of the Gods residing in Olympus, but you, only you, this goddess will treat you differently."

The goddess, like a proud phoenix, uttered such words that flowed like a confession, her cherry-colored lips rose upwards with a reserved and proud smile, and her beautiful purple amethyst eyes blinked like the stars in the dark night shining with brilliance of divine.

"I am a little envious of you, Lord Roy. Haah, to have the ability and charm to be so close to Goddess Athena is an achievement in itself, no lesser than becoming a Godslayer, all heroes and braves throughout the ages haven't had the feasibility to blessed with such a privilege."

Guinevere exclaimed with unexplainable emotions.

"Ara~ Ara~ I'm already going away from the topic, please forgive my offense."

"So, Mr. Roy, our goals are ultimately the same, you want to break the last steel and for that you definitely have to confront with the 'Last King' and to do that you have to meet him first. Please, Lord Roy, tell me where the 'king' sleeps, I'm begging you."

Guinevere once again requested sincerely again as she bowed her head deeply.

"What's the rush? Such sensitive topics are advanced slowly and steadily~ So, uhmm, how do we talk about my compensation, Miss Guinevere?"

"You should understand the principle of equivalent exchange, since, you want me to pinpoint the slumber grounds of the Last King, then what can you give me in return?"

Roy discoursed leisurely as he leaned on the lamp post next to him.

"...It depends on what you need, Lord Roy."

"It's better to use youself in exchange."

Roy suddenly stretched out his hand and presented his palm to Guinevere.

"Me?"

The queen of divine ancestors was taken aback for a moment, she pointed at herself with her index finger, a glimmer of sluggishness flashed across her face, then she smiled like a flower blooming in spring and nodded:

"I didn't expect Mr. Roy to be interested in a fallen Earth Goddess like me, you deserve to be an overbearing demon king. But as long as Mr. Roy tells me the location, Guinevere is willing to offer you her body for you to enjoy to your heart's content."

The Ancient Goddess who has now fallen as a divine ancestor spoke softly and glamorously, revealing an unblemished seducing temptation that a common man's innocent PP couldn't and wouldn't refuse but to rise in full glory.

Athena gave Roy a light look, her face was showing she wasn't in a good mood.

She just made a bold statement to share her life and death with this man, and even that in front of someone!

But, in a blink of an eye, the same man 'confessed' to another woman. As a proud goddess, she only felt that this was an insult to her feelings.

But Athena will not throw a tantrum like a normal woman 'cheated' by her man would, nor will she act hysterically.

Her wisdom tells her that Roy must have some deep meaning in doing such, his own disguised purpose to pull off something she couldn't comprehend, but only for the time being, she is the noble goddess of wisdom after all.

So, smart women with sharp intuitions can make men afraid, but sometimes they can just do the same, and make you able to do somethings just more efficiently.

"I didn't expect, Miss Guinevere, that you would be so generous, to my surprise, your feelings for the Last King run so deep."

Roy sighed as he complimented.

For the sake of the last king, the former proud goddess was willing to even commit herself to the bitter enemies of the Gods.

Regardless of Guinevere's personality and individuality, this sacrificial spirit alone is enough to make people take her loyalty in other light.

"If it hadn't been for me to know beforehand that Miss Guinevere, your feelings for the Last King is not love but pure friendship, I would have had to say that this is the truest of love that is too difficult to find, either in past, present or future."

Roy, whose gazes can go back to the past, can naturally see and know about what happened between Guinevere, who was once a goddess, and the Last King.

His 'clairvoyance' can make his gaze go back to the past, but it does not mean that he can know everything that happened in the past in advance. The past that has passed since the world was formed is too huge.

He does not have the ability to look at the past records in detail all at once and store them in his brain. He only needs to search for the specific past he wants to find. Only then will his gaze go back to that specific past, and present the secret of the past in front of him.

"The last king is too pitiful. He is in constant repetation between the execution of the demon kings and his deep slumber."

"Every time he wakes up, he will lose his strength. The powerful Devil Kings on Earth are the last king's destined enemies, the wandering on the way to recover his strength is too long and lonely, and before the 'king' has not recovered his strength, he has been defeated many times by the godslayer and suffered uncountable gruesome ends."

"I don't want him to continue to suffer like this, so I sacrificed myself to become a container to be able to store the essence of the earth mother goddesses for him."

"So that he can regain his full strength when he wakes up, and be able to kill all the demon kings of the era as soon as he can, so that he does not need to keep wandering, lonely..."

"....because, as the "king" wakes up, his own heat will trigger the activity of the volcanoes all around the globe, if he is active for too long the magma under the mantle will gradually continue to surface and the king will become the reason for the extinction of humanity."

"It will destroy every living creature on this planet. The king is very kind. He does not want the earthly creatures to suffer, so he can only silently accept my sacrifice so he can go to rest early and relieve the ordinary masses from the painful sufferings and possible destruction."

Guinevere said softly, and a touch of pity for the Last King kept flashing in her eyes, like the flame of a candle flickering in the turbulent breeze, swaying together with the shadows stretched far away in freeze.
