The Majestic King Arthur Has Arrived in Her Loyal Great Britain

Seeing World Devourer Calamity Star’s actions, everyone realized they had likely made it through this ordeal.

After hearing Its words, Lu Su did not reply. He merely stared quietly at the black-and-red figure.

The youth did not believe talking to the other party would yield any useful information.

World Devourer Calamity Star did not mind.

It merely gave Lu Su a deep look before a voice rang out across the scene. "In the end, I was careless."

"Otherwise, It could never have come this far."

"Don’t you agree?"

"My kind."

The moment those words were spoken, the entire place fell silent.

George VII and Apache were both stunned, unable to understand what the black-and-red figure meant.

Louis XXIV, however, gave Lu Su a thoughtful glance, as though he had guessed something. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

As for Lu Su himself, he furrowed his brows and silently thought, Tsk.

That guy did it on purpose.

If possible, Lu Su did not wish to expose his identity as a fragment of the World Consciousness before advancing to Hall of Fame Grade. After all, in his estimation, breaking through from Hall of Fame Grade to a level beyond it was more or less connected to this.

Wasn’t that why Adley had stood by and watched the Four Calamity Gods invade?

If the other side learned that he was a fragment of the World Consciousness, who knew what might happen.

And there was Motiān as well.

Despite his intense displeasure, Lu Su maintained his basic composure.

He cast an imperceptible glance at the motionless Emperor of France beside him, then said expressionlessly, "I don’t understand what you mean."

Hearing this, World Devourer Calamity Star laughed soundlessly and shook Its head slightly.

"We will meet again."

As Its voice faded, before anyone present could react, the black-and-red figure had already dissipated into the air.

A moment later, George VII’s dazed voice rang out. "It… left?"

He felt as though he were dreaming. Great Britain had actually been saved.

To be honest, His Majesty the King had already prepared himself to become the ruler of a fallen nation. After all, even Louis XXIV had been unable to do anything against that being.

He had only agreed to Lu Su’s request with the mentality of treating a dead horse as though it were alive.

Who could have imagined that the youth, also a Master Card Master, would truly pull it off?

At the side, Lu Su suppressed his heavy thoughts and let out a long breath. "It’s over. It has left."

What had happened today had undoubtedly exceeded his expectations. He had never imagined that he would suddenly encounter the mastermind who had destroyed his hometown.

Or rather, according to the Blue Star World Consciousness, the original "Lu Su" had died at the other party’s hands.

Fortunately, the other party had not descended in Its true body this time. Otherwise, he probably would have died here.

Thinking of this, Lu Su could not help sighing inwardly. The situation is getting worse and worse.

His concern was understandable. The Blue Star World Consciousness had not appeared at all until the very end, and what that represented went without saying.

Still, there was a silver lining amid the misfortune. World Devourer Calamity Star clearly could not descend recklessly through Master Grade Demons. Otherwise, Blue Star would have long since been riddled with devastation.

Lu Su also knew what made the Seven-Colored Dragon that had enabled Its descent different from the other Demons: it had once devoured a World Consciousness.

Such beings were surely exceedingly rare. There might even be only one of them.

I’ll ask the Blue Star World Consciousness after this is over.

While Lu Su was sorting through his thoughts, a faint smile appeared on Louis XXIV’s handsome face. In a gentle tone, he said to George VII, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. You no longer need to become a Stray Dog."

The Near-God’s words were unpleasant, but George VII did not take offense.

That was simply how the nations of Great Britain and the Europa continent interacted. You disgusted me, I disgusted you. In fact, George VII had already been quite surprised that France had been willing to set aside an area to resettle Great Britain’s people.

After casually needling George VII, Louis XXIV turned to Lu Su with great seriousness. "Lord Lu, once matters have concluded, I hope you will visit France."

"Rest assured, I am not Adley."

Apache’s expression darkened at those words, but he did not dare refute him.

As for Lu Su, he could roughly guess the French Emperor’s intentions.

After some thought, he neither agreed nor refused. He simply said calmly, "I need some time to consider it. I hope Your Majesty will understand."

"Then I shall await good news from you, Lord Lu."

Louis XXIV smiled slightly before vanishing from where he stood.

The French Emperor’s departure made George VII let out a great sigh of relief. He had truly feared that the other party might refuse to leave.

But when he saw the Tower of Radiance still standing upon the land in the distance, his heart began to ache.

Great Britain was undoubtedly going to bleed heavily.

First came the twenty portions of Master Grade Material that had been promised to Lu Su and Apache before World Devourer Calamity Star appeared. Then there were the "any conditions" George VII had promised Lu Su not long ago. Finally, there was the gift needed to thank Louis XXIV for his assistance.

Although Louis XXIV had not demanded payment from Great Britain, George VII understood such basic social etiquette.

Taken together, these expenses would be enough to severely damage Great Britain’s foundations.

Who knows how long it will take to recover?

With that thought, George VII considered his words before asking Lu Su, "May I ask what reward Lord Lu desires?"

"So that I may have my subordinates prepare in advance."

Facing his question, Lu Su thought briefly before shaking his head. "I haven’t decided yet. I’ll tell you in a few days."

Lu Su had actually already decided, but there were too many people present, making it inconvenient to say. He intended to inform George VII later.

However, upon hearing Lu Su say this, George VII’s heart sank. He felt that the youth was preparing to demand an exorbitant price.

But there was nothing he could do. After all, he himself had said that any condition was acceptable.

Of course, George VII could choose to go back on his word, but the problem was that he could not defeat Lu Su.

Thus, after a moment of silence, His Majesty the King of Great Britain said somewhat reluctantly, "Then tell me once you have decided, Lord Lu."

As he spoke, he looked toward the Pillar of Light in the distance. "By the way, since this matter has ended, I ask that Lord Lu put away this tower."

After a brief silence, George VII stiffly turned to look at Lu Su, who had not moved at all.

With a growing sense of unease, he called again, "Lord… Lord Lu?"

Only then did Lu Su slowly speak. "This tower’s ability is single-use. Once it has been used, it cannot be retrieved."

"And even if it could be retrieved, I would not do so."

George VII froze on the spot, thinking Lu Su was trying to threaten him with this.

Before he could ask, Lu Su explained, "A large portion of Great Britain’s territory has already turned into a secret realm. The only reason it can retain its former state is entirely due to my card’s ability."

The Pillar of Light Altria had unleashed had merely interrupted World Devourer Calamity Star’s erosion and nailed Great Britain to Blue Star. It had not reversed the British territory that had already turned into a secret realm.

Therefore, even though World Devourer Calamity Star had departed, Great Britain would still become a secret realm without this tower.

As for whether it would later be expelled from Blue Star or undergo some other change, even Lu Su did not know.

After all, nothing like this had ever happened on Blue Star before.

George VII appeared half-convinced and half-doubtful at Lu Su’s explanation.

If possible, the King of Great Britain certainly did not want such a wonder, created by the intervention of a foreign Card Master, standing within his nation.

No matter how one looked at it, it would threaten the rule of Great Britain’s royal family.

What was more, this wonder had been created by a card named King Arthur.

But there was no choice. If Lu Su truly could not retrieve it, George VII could only grit his teeth and accept it.

He sighed and said in a complicated tone, "Lord Lu has worked hard today. Once I have dealt with the aftermath, we can discuss the rest."

Lu Su could roughly guess what George VII was thinking, but honestly, whether the man believed him or not had little to do with him. In the end, George VII had no other choice.

It was already merciful enough that Lu Su had not made him bow twice in repayment.

Though if bowing twice could settle the debt, George VII would probably agree.

Meanwhile, Apache, who had remained silent ever since World Devourer Calamity Star appeared, wore an exceptionally gloomy expression.

The Master Card Master from the Indo-American Federation had never expected events to develop in this direction.

The mastermind appeared, Louis XXIV arrived, and Lu Su stepped in to resolve the crisis.

Every single step had gone beyond Apache’s expectations.

I can’t let him keep advancing. Otherwise, Sakaja may be in danger.

And those words just now…

Recalling the conversation between the mastermind and the youth beside him, Apache’s gaze flickered. He keenly sensed that there was definitely something wrong here.

Seemingly noticing Apache’s hostility, Lu Su glanced at him before saying to George VII, "Once everything is settled, you can come find me here."

"I’ll be staying here for the next few days."

As he spoke, he pointed toward the distant tower.

Now that Altria had nailed it to Great Britain’s land, Lu Su no longer needed Great Britain to provide him a place to rest.

George VII nodded slightly. "Then I must trouble Lord Lu to wait peacefully for a few days."

With that, he and Apache vanished from Lu Su’s sight.

After watching the two depart, Lu Su turned and headed toward the tower.

The moment he entered, he arrived on a broad platform. The most eye-catching things there were the throne at its center and the golden-haired king seated upon it, her expression calm.

"How is it?"

Lu Su casually asked the question, then summoned the Ghost Shadow Soldiers and had them begin preparing dinner.

The Shadow Kingdom always stored a tremendous amount of supplies. Even if Lu Su were stranded on a deserted island, he could still live quite comfortably.

As curls of smoke rose, the aroma of food quickly spread through the air.

Altria sniffed lightly. Her expression softened for a moment before turning serious again. "Without my support, this Pillar of Light’s abilities will be greatly weakened."

"So I will need to guard this place from now on."

Lu Su was immediately stunned. "There’s such a thing?"

"But across half of Blue Star…"

Lu Su was about to say that maintaining Altria’s existence across half of Blue Star would be difficult, but he voluntarily shut his mouth.

Then he nodded in agreement. "All right."

In Lu Su’s perception, the Pillar of Light he was within had now become an anchor point.

Put simply, if Lu Su were a signal base station, then the Pillar of Light was a second base station. From now on, he could summon cards with the Pillar of Light as the center.

Furthermore, no matter where he was on Blue Star, he could instantly arrive inside this Pillar of Light.

If George VII learned of this, he probably would not sleep peacefully. Of course, Lu Su would not tell him.

Still, without Altria at his side, Lu Su’s combat strength would decline considerably. Fortunately, after receiving Great Britain’s compensation, he should be able to create new Master Grade cards.

At that moment, the Ghost Shadow Soldiers had finished preparing dinner.

Seeing this, Lu Su released all of his surviving cards.

Since things had come to this, they might as well eat first.

Three days later.

Great Britain had gradually settled the effects brought by the secret realm mutation, provided one ignored the golden streams of light that flickered intermittently through the veins of the land like breathing.

Lyon and Charlotte stood before the towering Tower of Radiance, unconsciously swallowing.

Earlier, they had not felt much of its reality. But now that they were truly standing before this tower, the two could finally sense its power.

A moment later, Charlotte spoke first. "Let’s go. We’re here to see His Excellency Lu Su."

With that, she entered the tower.

Looking at his sister’s back, Lyon felt deeply puzzled.

The prince did not understand why George VII had sent Charlotte along as well. Clearly, he was more familiar with Lu Su.

With some confusion, Lyon followed Charlotte into the tower.

The next moment, the two discovered that they had arrived on an enormous platform.

Then, when they saw Lu Su playing video games in the distance, Lyon and Charlotte hurried forward, bowed slightly, and called out, "Lu Su."

"His Excellency Lu Su."

Hearing them, Lu Su hit the pause button and turned around. "Has everything been handled?"

Lyon had just been about to speak when Charlotte beat him to it. "Yes. His Majesty sent me to invite you to the King City."

At this, Lyon nearly ground his molars to dust. He could not help cursing inwardly, Bitch!

He had sensed something was wrong several days ago when they were suppressing the secret realm, and what had happened today undoubtedly confirmed his suspicions.

Lyon was now as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, yet there was nothing he could do.

Lu Su, however, did not care what this old acquaintance was thinking. He merely said flatly, "I understand. Let’s go."

With that, he stood up, ready to see what price George VII was offering.
