Become a Fool! Showdown with Perseus (5/5) / The Gap Between Dimensions

"I never imagined that the legendary King's Sword of kings still exists! You wouldn't happen to be a descendant of King Arthur, would you?"

Arthur didn't answer, but walked over and asked, "Do you remember what I said before the battle?"

"Ah, of course!" Salvatore Doni stood up and said straightforwardly, "One request, right? What do you want me to help you with? Just say the word!"

"That's good... Let's leave here first."

Arthur smiled with satisfaction after hearing Salvatore Doni's words.

Just as he was about to say something, Arthur suddenly frowned, grabbed Salvatore Doni's arm, and vanished in an Inazuma.

Almost immediately after they left, a figure in a suit ran up the steps.

Italy is brightly lit at night.

Garibaldi Square in Naples.

An underground temple imbued with the atmosphere of a long history.

"Hey... Arthur, why did you bring me here?" Salvatore Doni, carrying a long box on his back, lazily followed behind Arthur with his hands behind his head, asking in a languid tone, "Is there something you need here?"

"Ah... less talk, just follow along." Arthur put his hands in his pockets, responded at first, then, thinking of Salvatore Doni's personality, he scolded him again.

· ······Requesting flowers· ·······

"Oh! My dear friend, don't say that, it's too hurtful!" Salvatore Doni said from behind, feigning sadness.

"When did we become best friends?" Arthur said helplessly as he used his Observation Haki to search for his target.

Salvatore Doni gave a thumbs-up and grinned, "From the moment you beat me, I considered you my best friend."

The only person who could withstand his own 'magic sword' and create such realistic illusions, allowing him to enjoy fighting to his heart's content without fear of being scolded afterwards, was Arthur.

With such a formidable opponent, how could Salvatore Doni not seize the opportunity?

He had only known Arthur for a few hours, but he already considered him his 'best friend'.

"Arrive--"

Arthur suddenly stopped and said calmly.

"Where? Let me see what you're looking for?" Salvatore Doni quickly walked to Arthur's side. In front of them was a stone wall with a badge on it, like some kind of seal.

"Is this a witch's seal? It seems so..." Salvatore Doni murmured uncertainly, stroking his chin.

"Ara ara..."

At that moment, Arthur reached out and pushed Salvatore Doni against the stone wall.

Caught off guard, Salvatore Doni crashed directly into the stone wall.

But instead of a sound of impact, the stone wall turned into a crimson light and disappeared after being touched.

Even the witch's seal is nothing to the God Slayer.

Hidden within the stone wall are stone pillars radiating a jade-green light.

That thing was Arthur's target— the Hera Pillar!

"Wow... this thing, I feel the power of a god in it." Salvatore Doni stared wide-eyed at Arthur in astonishment, then exclaimed in Satori realization, "I understand, you want to kill a god! My dear friend!"

Chapter 326 Becoming the Fool! Showdown with Perseus (5/5)

"My request is... cut it open for me, Doni," Arthur said in a deep voice, gazing into Salvatore Doni's excited eyes.

"Oh, leave it to me!" Salvatore Doni agreed without hesitation, adding with anticipation, "Once you become one of my kind, remember to find some time to fight me again."

After speaking, Salvatore Doni turned to look at the Hera Pillar in front of him, which was emitting a bright green light. He slowly put down the box on his back, opened it, and took out the sheathed knight's sword.

"--I hereby swear that I will not allow anything I cannot cut to exist. This sword can cleave and sever everything on earth; it is an invincible blade--"

Salvatore Doni drew his sword, the "667" sword, and a powerful magical energy emanated from his body, covering him like a fluorescent glow. His right arm, which held the sword, gradually turned silver.

After chanting the Word of Power, he raised his knight's sword high with both hands and slashed it down at the Hera Pillar.

'Whoosh--Boom!'

A silver light flashed by.

Without encountering any resistance, the Hera Pillar, radiating a bright green light, was directly split in two, falling to the ground and shattering into countless pieces.

'Boom--'

Immediately afterwards, an even thicker beam of emerald green light smashed through the ceiling of the underground temple and rose into the sky.

"It's here..."

At this moment, Arthur and Salvatore Doni both narrowed their eyes slightly and looked in one direction.

Salvatore Doni is extremely sensitive to the aura of his 'natural enemies' because of his God Slayer physique.

Arthur, on the other hand, was constantly using his Observation Haki and had a deep understanding of the original story, so he sensed the aura of the 'Heretic God' the moment it appeared.

'Call out--'

Arthur transformed into a bolt of Inazuma and vanished from the underground temple.

"Hey--wait for me, my dear friend!" Salvatore Doni quickly jumped up and left through the collapsed ceiling.

At the same time, the soaring emerald green beam of light transformed into a divine dragon, a spirit of the earth, high in the sky.

On the rooftop of a building, a few miles from Naples Garibaldi Square.

A man dressed in a white suit jacket and white trousers, with a pure white cloak, not only had similar attire to Arthur, but also had blond hair. A confident smile graced his handsome face, and his eyes held a predatory look as he gazed at the dragon high in the sky.

He was Perseus, the 'Steel Hero God' who descended to earth after being drawn by the dragon born from the Hera Pillar, the dragon-slaying hero.

"Young man, are you going to stop me?" Perseus didn't rush to cause trouble for the dragon. Instead, he looked to the other side of the rooftop and asked with his confident smile undiminished.

'Call out--'

As soon as Perseus finished speaking, a bolt of Inazuma appeared out of nowhere, revealing Arthur's figure.

As soon as Perseus finished speaking, a bolt of Inazuma appeared out of nowhere, revealing Arthur's figure.

"Young man, I am Perseus." Perseus introduced himself, then asked with interest, "I don't sense the aura of the 'Fool' on you. Do you, with only a human body, intend to hinder my duty to slay the dragon?"

"No..." Arthur shook his head and said with a smile, "I want to be the 'Fool'!"

"Reality Marble-- "

The surrounding environment has been completely transformed.

Daylight replaced night, and the brightly lit Garibaldi Square transformed into a large island with fresh air and beautiful scenery.

"A barrier that materializes mental landscapes? It's already very close to the Authority of gods."

Perseus, who had seemingly teleported to this location, showed no panic. Instead, he looked at Arthur with interest and said, "For a mere human to have achieved this, I acknowledge your skill."

"State your name, young man!"

Arthur Pendragon--

Arthur answered directly this time, and golden light appeared in his hand, forming the magnificent Excalibur, which he held firmly.

"Impossible!" Upon hearing this, Perseus, who had been completely calm, widened his eyes in shock. "How could you possibly be the 'Steel Hero God'? You clearly don't have... wait!"

Before he could finish speaking, Perseus's pupils contracted, and his gaze towards Arthur was filled with shock. "There is indeed a divine aura within you. Though very faint, I have certainly sensed it."

"Oh? We've been discovered? Impressive, as expected of a god!" Arthur said, slightly surprised.

He truly possessed the aura of a deity.

That's because of the 'aftereffects' of using 'Rhongomyniad,' which gradually turned him into an existence close to that of a god.

In fact, this scent is quite easy to notice.

Because it's a kind of aura, anyone with Spirit Vision can perceive it.

However, due to 'Attribute Concealment)' and 'Avalon', Arthur's attributes, past, and future will not be known to anyone.

Even abilities and Noble Phantasms of the same level, such as Clairvoyance (EX) and Sha Naqba Imuru (EX), have no effect on him.

In addition to their physical attributes, their overall demeanor was also affected.

If Arthur were to take off his pure white 4.8 knight's uniform and wear ordinary clothes, no one would ever realize that he is a powerful figure.

Even Salvatore Doni did not sense his divine presence.

Therefore, Arthur was somewhat surprised that he could detect Perseus's divine aura.

"It's certain that you are not that great king of ancient Britain..." Perseus produced a longsword, pointing it at Arthur. His handsome face regained its confident expression as he laughed, "No matter who you are, if you are my enemy, then I will still show you the martial prowess of Perseus!!"

"So... you humans who desire to become 'Fools,' you humans who aspire to bathe in my divine blood, then try to create that impossible miracle! Young man!"

Chapter 327 The Dimensional Gap

'Mana Burst (A)--'

'Armament Haki--'

With the power systems of both worlds fully activated, Arthur raised Excalibur, its tip pointing at Perseus, and said softly, "Then, I'll go!"

'Zzzzz... whoosh!'

The moment he finished speaking, a burst of electricity began to crackle around Arthur's feet, and his figure vanished like Inazuma, transforming into a blue-white beam of light that shot towards Perseus.

"Well done!" Perseus flung his white cloak back, unleashing a powerful divine force that transformed into a fluorescent glow that enveloped his entire body. Holding his longsword, he charged toward the oncoming beam of light.

'Clang--'

The sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the area, and the shockwave from the collision kicked up a cloud of dust.

Arthur's charge, enhanced by the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, was steadily blocked by Perseus's ordinary sword strike.

"A wondrous power, but useless against me." Perseus saw through Arthur's power at a glance and stated it as if stating a fact.

And indeed, just as he said, Arthur's power was naturally restrained by them.

If it were an ordinary person, even a so-called Grand Knight or witch, Arthur's power would be on par with that of God Slayer.

Because they are all human beings!

Arthur's power is such that he can unleash island-destroying attacks with ease, making him a force to be reckoned with for humans, comparable to Demon King on earth.

But in the eyes of the 'God Slayer' and the 'Heretic God', they are nothing to fear.

Even if Arthur used an island-destroying technique to directly strike the 'God Slayer' and the 'Heretic God', it would likely be nothing more than a painless attack to them.

Because of their physical constitution, they have a unique advantage.

To harm or kill 'Heretic Gods' and 'God Slayer', one must use ancient Forbidden Spells against the gods, or Divine Artifacts capable of harming the spirits.

Arthur's trump cards that could potentially harm the "Heretic God" and the "God Slayer" are likely only the True Name Release of "Excalibur" and "Rhongomyniad," as well as the Conceptual Enchantment "Divergence of Heaven and Earth, Star of Creation."

This is the difference between dimensions!

The difference between low-level and high-level martial arts worlds!

'Swish--'

Upon hearing Perseus's words, Arthur remained silent, then, as if teleporting, instantly appeared behind him, Excalibur down in his hand.

A golden sword, as tall as a skyscraper, roared out at near-zero distance, engulfing Perseus.

'Snap--'

However, before the sword could successfully strike, a hand wearing a white glove blocked it.

"A powerful strike, but still useless." Perseus exerted a little force with his hand imbued with divine power, and the sword pressure that had carved a deep trench in the ground was instantly crushed into a shower of light.

Looking at Arthur, who had suddenly appeared in the distance, Perseus smiled confidently and said, "These pointless tests are unnecessary! Young man, if you wish to bathe in my divine blood, you don't need to waste your energy on such tricks."

"Indeed!" Arthur agreed. The earlier test had shown him that the Sea Spirit was useless against either God Slayer or Heretic Gods.
