Chapter 149: It's going to be sunk
Arthur smugly exclaimed that his identity was not the Arthur King of Celtic mythology that was adapted by the monks, but the last king who was constantly praised by the people as the hero born from the continuous evolution of the deeds of Wales.
The image of heroes and gods is so close and so ambiguous, for example, Hercules in Greek mythology eventually became a god, but the great hero Hercules is not special, and many heroes who are loved by Zeus or other gods are ascended to the constellation in the sky, accepted by the world to commemorate and worship, and become similar to gods.
Siegfried's summoning is not a hero who slays a dragon, but a god whose appearance has been changed by mythology, based on the dragon slayer.
"Well, you look like you're getting a lot weaker! Take out your domineering, can you be called King Arthur like this? ”
King Arthur staggered a few steps, this kind of sudden sneak attack was something she didn't expect at all, or because she was also King Arthur, she automatically ignored the other party.
"It's terrible and bad!" King Arthur looked at another self, another world, and through his own oral legend of King Arthur in the world, he showed disgust.
No matter which version of King Arthur or which world King Arthur is, he is a hero, a righteous king who practices knighthood and leads his army to resist aggression, he is both a knight and a king, and in the case of Christian priests polishing the legend, King Arthur is regarded as a devout disciple of God, a warrior of God, and a saint.
For example, the preservation and circulation of contemporary Celtic mythology was collected and organized by Christian clergy, so the greatest god in Celtic mythology was not the good god Danu, but God.
Only the disobedient Arthur in front of him was so bad that he actually violated the spirit of chivalry and carried out a sneak attack without declaring a war.
Aren't you afraid that your sword in the stone will break because of this?
King Arthur thought to himself, then looked at the sword that resembled himself, and realized that Arthur was holding the same weapon in his hand as the sword in the stone and the sword in the lake.
Then there is only one reason, King Arthur in front of him reversed.
Princess Alice once said that the strength of the disobedient god does not depend solely on the legend and breadth of the myth, but is directly proportional to the strength of the god's self-knowledge.
For example, even a well-known god such as Zeus or Odin, once the strength of self-knowledge is not enough, then it will be defeated by a second-rate god with strong self-knowledge but no name.
Theoretically, once the intensity of self-awareness is higher, he will care about his own feelings, and his self-esteem will be extraordinarily strong, and he will generally not behave despicably, showing the extraordinary spirit of a god and a hero, unless such despicable behavior is considered reasonable by him.
However, King Arthur is a knight king, since he is the embodiment of chivalry, how can he make such an action.
No, it is because Arthur is disobedient that he can do such an act.
The god of disobedience, it is precisely because of the rebellion against the myths woven by human beings that he can come to the world, the so-called disobedience, is rebellion, is the so-called perverse body.
The concepts of light, justice, and protection are all given to the gods by human beings through mythology, so when it is obvious that the gods are in the world and they are contrary to the myths, they will naturally act diametrically opposite to their own mythological images.
William felt that he was weaker than ever, and at the age of 12, he was just a fledgling hero who drew a sword in the stone, and did not experience the adventures of the world in the future, so that he could be elevated by legend.
The deposition of King Arthur from the throne meant that he lost his prerogatives as a king and lost his status as an angel.
Suddenly, he understood why, the Celtic gods preferred to hide in the underground world, to relegate themselves from the status of gods to elves and fairies, rather than to become angels or saints of the new world.
If in the old world, the relationship between the gods and the king of the gods was only equivalent to the relationship between the emperor and the king, or the relationship between the king and the lord, then in the new world, the gods have completely become state officials under the centralized system, and the power can be withdrawn at will.
William can naturally claim the title of king and ascend to the sky in one step, but this power, William is only the holder, and he can only use it because he is authorized, and once the authorization is withdrawn, he will naturally lose his power, Lingge.
It is precisely because of this that in William's world, the gods rebelled so badly.
"Wang, are you alright?" Erica and Alice hurriedly stepped forward to support the injured William, with worried expressions on their faces, and then were forced to stay away from the scene of King Arthur's confrontation with Arthur who did not obey.
Although William and King Arthur had infighting with each other, listening to the conversation between the two, it was more like King Arthur had deposed William from the throne.
This is unpredictable.
At the same time, even Erica has a hidden worry in her heart, if the king is no longer the king, then who will be willing to accept William's rule.
Just as William summoned the magician Prospero to make the Marquis of Woban lose his power as a godkiller, even the famous and peerless murderer Marquis of Woban can only flee in embarrassment.
Now the Marquis of Woban doesn't know where to hide, maybe it's to escape from the pursuit, maybe it's to find a new god of disobedience, and then try to kill the gods, seeking humans to kill the gods again and become a miracle of the godslayer.
If William's power is gone, then William is no longer king, can he still calmly accept the allegiance of the All-Italian Magic Society?
You must know that in Italy it is a double monarchy, not only William, but also the king of the sword, Tony, once William loses his strength, the power led by Tony will be established immediately, and it will not drag the mud and water at all, under the pressure of survival, even William's iron-clad bronze black cross and bronze black cross will instantly turn against him.
Political matters are incomprehensible to the magicians of the magic world, they cannot be involved in the struggle between kings and kings, they can only obey whoever is stronger and who is more fierce.
The Marquis of Warban is even more brutal, so when everyone is forced to step aside, they will always choose the Marquis of Warban instead of supporting William, just because William is a good person, so in the current situation, the huge organization under William's command is now showing signs of falling apart.
"It's fine, it's just a loss of strength." William watched as he pulled out his sword in the stone, the originally intact holy sword had lost its original brilliance at this time, and there were even traces of fracture in the sword body.
"My power is all dependent on the sword in the stone, from the royal power, if the magic comes from the world, then as long as the magic is constructed, you can use its power, and now my throne has been deposed, and the sword in the stone has been broken. The so-called power is really just a more powerful magic trick to imitate the Son of God, relying on the concept that the King is the Christ on earth. ”
William spoke quite calmly, stating the shocking facts of those present, although there was no shortage of sensible people who had speculated about the source of William's power, but it was still shocking enough to say it to his face.
"You can give up following me, it doesn't matter, I'm just a magician like you now, and I'm not much stronger than you."
"No, O king, allow me to remain loyal to you, not on behalf of my association, but on my own behalf, and I want to be loyal to you, and that's all, not because you have power or lose it."
Liliana stepped forward and said, it was not easy for her to say this at such a difficult time, and Erica saw her friend take the lead, and she followed suit.
Even Yuri Mori, who was on the side, also followed, but even so, the knights led by Paul Brontree were silent at this time, they were not ordinary knights, and they were responsible for the fate of the entire association.
When William looked at Princess Alice, she said, "Whether you are my king or not, you are my husband." ”
In a sense, William said with a wry smile, "My relationship with King Arthur is very special, I will not take the initiative to kill the other party until the last resort, so even if I lose my strength, she will protect you." ”
The premise is that King Arthur can defeat Arthur, who is not obedient, but looking at the weakness that King Arthur is visible to the naked eye now, it is also enough to choke.
William's ship is sinking.
