In this world, the Roman Empire was in decline, invaded by foreign enemies. The Britannian Isles, once Roman territory, naturally fell into a state of division and conflict. Uther Pendragon (King Arthur's father), one of the lords of Britannia, was defeated by the Usurper Vortigern fifteen years ago. He placed his hopes on the next new king, and thus, he and the great sorcerer Merlin conceived a bold idea: they would create a new king who was born inherently superior to mortals. They combined the bloodline of the King of Britain, the bloodline of the Red Dragon (the incarnation of Britain), and the bloodline of a noble female, used to perfectly fuse the two, to create the maternal womb. Thus, the great King Arthur—Artoria Pendragon—was born silently.
This was the historically famous King Arthur, who was currently an eleven-year-old girl. To keep her out of public sight during her growth, she was brought into the home of the old knight, Sir Ector, at around 5 years old. She lived a simple life in her adoptive father's home, serving as a squire. Ector trained her in swordsmanship and etiquette, and she also participated in farming with her adopted sister.
Most of her day was spent on education befitting a king. Even during her mere three hours of sleep each day, the sorcerer Merlin instilled in her the teachings of a king. She also became acquainted with her childhood friend, her 'adopted older sister,' Kay, from a young age.
You read that right, it was an adopted older sister. Unexpectedly, this King Arthur's brother suffered a cruel fate, having her gender changed.
"Boom!"
"You continue studying. I'm going to check, Arthur."
The white-haired girl said to the golden-haired loli who was diligently studying beside her. After hearing the loli's childish reply, she walked out of the house expressionlessly, took out her staff, and headed towards the source of the loud noise.
On the other side, in a lush green forest, a valiant girl stood in a thirty-meter-wide giant pit.
"This transmigration is really something; I actually encountered a spatial storm."
This was Honda, who had just left the Dark World. She hadn't expected the usually stable spatial passage to suddenly collapse. The dense spatial cracks, like the end of the world, scared her so much that she almost gave up on escaping.
Finding the nearest world, she quickly used the power of her earrings to open a small hole and squeezed in, looking extremely disheveled.
"It seems this body can't be used for now; it needs to be repaired."
Honda looked at the huge wound on her body. It was caused by a spatial crack, which directly ignored her defenses and almost cut Honda in half. Thinking of this, Honda slowly closed her eyes, and a white-haired goddess emerged from behind Honda.
"The aura of Gaia and Alaya is so strong in this world."
Zeus caressed her slightly bulging lower abdomen, sensing two familiar auras.
"This time, I've really walked into a wolf's den."
Zeus smiled bitterly, looking at the blue daytime sky. Then, she placed the 'Honda' she was holding into her earring space. She took out her Staff of Thunder and made a crazy decision.
"Even the strongest person has blind spots. So, let's see if this gamble pays off!"
Thinking of this, Zeus plunged her divine artifact into the ground, pouring massive amounts of divine power into it.
"Seal the space! Then, cover it with a disguise."
While contacting the spirit within the divine artifact, Zeus took out an 'Identity Insertion Card' from her earring. Sealing the space alone wasn't enough; she also needed a suitable identity as a disguise, because this might be an area under the jurisdiction of Gaia and Alaya. Without a proper identity, Zeus would quickly be discovered in this world, as she shouldn't exist here, like a small black dot on a white paper. She now needed to whitewash herself.
"Starting activation, scanning current world."
This sentence made Zeus a little confused. Shouldn't she choose between protagonist and antagonist? Or does this world have no distinction between good and evil?
"Scan complete: Current world, 'The Legend of King Arthur.' Insert?"
"Insert."
"Starting insertion."
Knowing the name of this world, Zeus couldn't help but show a slight smile. She hadn't expected to encounter 'acquaintances.' Then, Zeus forgot what Artoria had said at the banquet during the Third War.
Without hesitation, Zeus chose to confirm. As she spoke, she continued to pour divine power into the Staff of Thunder. Sealing the space of a world was no small matter. By the time Zeus felt her body was hollowed out, the Staff of Thunder was finally saturated. However, the little one in her belly had shrunk due to her mother's actions. Moreover, to maintain the power of the sealed space, her divine power was constantly being drawn by the Staff of Thunder. It was estimated that the child's birth would be delayed by a few years, or even more than ten years. But treating this as a vacation in this world was also a good experience. Zeus couldn't even imagine prancing around under the noses of two great powers. Thinking this, Zeus even felt a hint of smugness. If the two of them knew she thought this way, she would probably be in for a lot of trouble.
"I'm sorry, child, we can't let others know we're here."
But touching her now flat abdomen, which had been slightly bulging just a moment ago, Zeus felt a little guilty. If she hadn't sensed the vitality of the small life within her, she would have thought she had killed her child herself!
"Hasn't it finished inserting yet? This is taking a bit long. Never mind, this world is really too special. I don't even know if it will succeed."
As the Staff of Thunder plunged into the earth's core, sealing the entire world's space, Zeus waited for most of the day without a reply. She shook her head in disappointment. Just as she was about to leave, a sudden message made her face turn dark.
"Insertion successful. Future Queen of Great Britain, Guinevere."
"Damn it, you tricked me again."
Zeus directly struck the huge pit with a bolt of lightning, adding a bit more depth to it.
"Never mind, I'd better leave!"
Zeus looked around at the deep forest, deciding it was better to find a human settlement first.
"Who's there?"
At this moment, a white-haired girl dressed like a mage appeared before Zeus.
"Guinevere?!"
The white-haired girl's voice and title instantly made Zeus stop and observe her. She was a beautiful girl, but what did that have to do with her identity in this world?
"Don't you recognize me? That's right, you were just born then. I am Merlin, your mentor when you were little."
The white-haired girl... oh no, Merlin's introduction instantly stunned Zeus. What was going on in this world? Even that old Merlin had been gender-bent into Merlin.
"Ah, sh*t!"
Zeus, feeling uncomfortable from the suppressed desire to spit out, couldn't help but utter a network phrase from her previous life.
