"Are you sure this news is true?"
Leah looked seriously at the messenger in front of her. The message made Leah feel speechless for a moment. She hadn't expected to be betrayed by her own people as soon as she came out, and the one who betrayed her was her own child.
"My King! I guarantee with my life that every word I say is true."
"You, go down first!"
Looking at the messenger who was almost exhausted, Leah ordered him to rest and then fell into thought.
"What exactly happened? Why did that child Mordred usurp the throne? But the main thing now is to rush back."
After thinking silently for a while, Leah came to a conclusion: she must take down Mordred before she completely controls Great Britain, otherwise, everything Leah had done so far would be in vain.
"Notify the entire army, we are returning to Great Britain to purge the traitors."
Leah said as she mounted her beloved horse and led the way in the opposite direction from which they came, with the mighty army following close behind.
"Listen, my knights, we will ambush King Arthur here and depose the King who does not understand people's hearts and cannot lead us. I will become everyone's new King and lead everyone to the peak of victory."
"New King, New King."
Having studied with Zeus for so long, Little Mo had long learned how to win people's hearts, stir up the atmosphere, and boost morale.
Looking at the knights at the peak of their morale, Little Mo nodded in satisfaction. She surveyed the place she had chosen for her Father King's demise and nodded with great satisfaction. "Father King, sleep forever in this golden land. I will take good care of Mother Queen."
On a small mountain a hundred kilometers from the battlefield, in a huge cave, Zeus lay painfully on the bed, not because of prenatal contractions, but because her almost non-existent divine power was being forcibly absorbed. Now Zeus felt that all the power in her body was draining away, and the divine blood in her veins was also being frantically evaporated into energy similar to divine power, which was absorbed by the fetus in her womb.
"This child, if you keep pulling, you'll kill me."
Her hands tightly gripped the quilt beneath her, and golden veins bulged beneath her fair, transparent skin. Zeus's entire body's meridians and blood vessels were pulsating. If it weren't for her powerful divine heart and the support of her divinity, Zeus would have died long ago.
"It's already the final stage, and still more!?
Perceiving the fetus's restless movements, Zeus, who had already given birth to Athena, knew that this child had fully developed. It now had the strength to move on its own and began to crawl out through the exit. And every time the child moved, it would draw away Zeus's power, with a greater intensity than before.
"You damned child, hurry up and come out! Otherwise, you'll kill a God with pain."
Zeus, with tears streaming down her face from the pain, roared in frustration towards her belly. This was ten times more painful and uncomfortable than giving birth to Athena, as if her body was being torn apart piece by piece, making Zeus wish she could faint immediately.
Just as Zeus was in 'deep distress,' the destiny-bound troublesome child and the magnificent Father King began their first and last confrontation. Corpses lay strewn around them. Both were now covered in wounds, light or severe, dripping onto the ground from their armor or splashing in the air.
"Why? Answer me, Mordred, why did you betray me?"
As the two clashed again, Leah's sword met Red Lightning. While the two were locked in a power struggle, Leah suddenly asked.
"Why! Haha, such a simple question, and you still don't understand. At that time, I obtained everything in this world, my most cherished treasure."
Although she didn't know what the 'treasure' the other party was talking about was, Leah could understand that since it was the most precious treasure, her 'Father King' probably couldn't give it to her, which was why she launched a rebellion to seize it back with her own hands.
"Since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything more! But you must pay the price for your decision."
"Haha! Since I've already done it, what more is there to say, Father King (emphasis)? I've found you very annoying for a long time. Why are you the King of Great Britain? Why did the beautiful Mother Queen have to marry you?"
"But now, it's different. I will be the 'King' (emphasis) of Great Britain."
"And you, be buried here! King Arthur, yo!"
Saying this, Little Mo raised Red Lightning, which Zeus had created for her earlier. Leah launched a fierce attack, and the two began another intense clash, even drawing in the surrounding knights who were fighting. Unfortunately, not being the protagonists, they were all cut down with a single sword stroke.
Little Mo, relying on the defense of her armor, abandoned all defense against Leah, only attacking again and again. Finally, in Little Mo's fierce assault, she knocked Leah's sword flying. Little Mo, seeing such a good opportunity, quickly moved in to deliver a finishing blow.
"Just a little more, just a little more. After this fight, it's over, and Mother Queen will be mine."
Thinking this, the young Mordred, who didn't know what a death flag was, was frantically setting death flags in her heart, and so fate played a joke on her. Unbeknownst to her, Lihua had taken out the gun from behind her and thrust it at the wide-open Mordred. If Zeus had been there, she would have seen the thick, nauseating power of fate tightly entanglement around the two of them. The defensive magic array carved on the armor on Mordred's body was weakened by more than half at that moment, and both Lihua's gun and Mordred's Red Lightning were significantly strengthened.
A sound like a hot water bottle being punctured reached Mordred's ears. She looked at the person in front of her with a bewildered expression, then at her own chest, where the opponent's weapon was plunged.
"How is this possible? I'm not reconciled."
With blood trickling from her lips, Mordred glared at Lihua with resentment. Anger gave her strength from an unknown source, and she swung her Red Lightning, thrusting it towards Lihua. For some reason, Lihua also failed to dodge this attack.
"King!"
Bedivere, who was closest to the two, saw the sword pierce through the chest. She screamed heartbreakingly, simultaneously dispatching the surrounding enemies with a single sword, and advanced towards the King. After reaching the King's side, she quickly embraced her King and headed towards the deep forest. She intended to take the King to Avalon Island, for only there would the King not die.
"Sir Bedivere, throw my sword into the lake."
Because the gun was still embedded in Mordred's body, Bedivere only picked up the King's sword before fleeing with the King.
"King, you…"
"Don't say anything more. Go!"
While Lihua was on the verge of life and death, Zeus successfully gave birth to her child.
"I'm sorry, I can only let Alaya take care of you."
Putting the necklace Alaya had given her from her earring onto her newborn child, Zeus couldn't help but kiss the baby's forehead. Although she had threatened to spank the baby during the agonizing birth, seeing the cute, chubby little baby, Zeus's maternal instincts surged, making it impossible for her to lay a hand on it. She crushed the gem of the necklace, and a ball of light enveloped the baby. The current Zeus was incredibly weak and couldn't protect her own child, so entrusting it to Alaya was the safest option.
Picking up the lightning bolt plunged in the center of the room, Zeus had relied entirely on her intrinsic divine artifact during childbirth to sustain the entire barrier. Now that the child was born, she had to quickly leave this troublesome place. Using the last trace of divine power stored in the lightning bolt, the lightning completely dimmed. Over a decade of high-load operation had left it somewhat overwhelmed.
"You've worked hard, Lightning. Rest well!"
She lovingly stroked the gem on the lightning bolt, then retracted the lightning into her body. Zeus, holding the fully charged earring, silently apologized to Lihua in her heart and left without a word.
Accompanied by the glow of the earring, Zeus vanished from this world.
"Eh! Why do I feel a sense of familiarity? Never mind, getting people in is the most important thing."
"Damn Gaia, she stole several of my capable employees. This time, I can't let her get ahead of me."
A woman in the void was muttering endlessly. As she spoke, a ball of light flew towards her.
"This is!?"
Embracing the ball of light and feeling the familiar aura, Alaya said with surprise.
"My dear child, you have finally come into the world. Thank your mother Zeus for her hard work in bringing you forth!"
Happily holding and kissing the child, Alaya gently poked the baby's little nose and said.
"Oh, right, he needs a name."
"Let's call him 'Adam'!"
Alaya joyfully held little Adam and flew in Lihua's direction. She hadn't forgotten her main purpose for coming here, which was to recruit a fighter.
