Monkey God / Great Sage Equal to Heaven ...

"Heretic God," "God Slayer," "Demon King" --

After hearing all this, Saber was incredulous and almost turned on Arthur.

It turns out this guy had been hiding it from me, going to fight such a dangerous enemy all by himself.

If Arthur hadn't been prepared and apologized to Saber immediately after his explanation, the little lion would probably have been furious for a long time.

"What? Do you perhaps want to kill a god?" Upon hearing Saber's words, Arthur shook his head, mercilessly retorting, "Don't even think about it. In your current state, you're not qualified to become God Slayer at all."

"Hmph!" Saber snorted coldly, retorting defiantly, "Even if I could kill a god, I'm afraid you wouldn't allow it!"

"That's right..."

Arthur reached out and pulled Saber, who was standing beside him, into his arms. He pinched the ahoge (cowlick) on her head, a symbol of royal authority, with two fingers and chuckled, "What if something happens to you and I can't summon you back?"

The words, seemingly carrying a hidden meaning, caused a blush to rise on Saber's usually cool and aloof face.

"I... I'll go cook..."

In a moment of confusion, Saber forcefully pushed the unprepared Arthur off the beach chair and onto the ground, then fled into the villa as if in a panic.

"Oh dear... It's rare to see my owner in such a sorry state. It's a real shame I didn't capture this moment on camera."

Just as Arthur reluctantly got up, he suddenly heard Erica's voice in his ear.

Just as Arthur reluctantly got up, he suddenly heard Erica's voice in his ear.

Turning my head, I saw Erica, wearing the same red dress she wore when we first met, walking towards me with a brown book in her hand. Her beautiful face wore a smile that seemed to be a mixture of regret and teasing.

Is everything ready?

Perhaps it was Erica's boldness and her gluttonous nature, which rivaled Athena's, that brought Arthur and her master-servant relationship to a new level.

Arthur didn't care about his image. He dusted himself off, sat back down on the beach chair, and reached out to Erica, asking her a question.

"Yes, this is what you needed, Master." Erica placed the book in Arthur hands with a serious expression and said solemnly, "This contains information about the Monkey God... By the way, Master..."

Erica's sentence was cut short before she could finish.

Arthur, who had been looking down at his book, looked up at her with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong?"

"I've already read the whole book before giving it to you." A blush crept onto Erica's beautiful face, but she still boldly looked directly at Arthur and said softly, "Actually, Master, you don't need to spend so much time reading it. I could have sent it to you in another way."

Other methods?

Arthur was slightly taken aback, then his expression turned somewhat strange.

Seeing Erica's flushed face, Arthur suddenly smiled slightly and said, "Alright! Then it's yours to handle."

"That's wonderful! Then please close your eyes, Master..." Erica subconsciously revealed a hint of joy, then a rare touch of feminine reserve appeared as she whispered.

Upon hearing this, Arthur did not expose him, but slowly closed his eyes.

In less than a few seconds, a warm touch pressed against me, and a saliva-covered lilac wafted in.

Instantly, information about the Monkey God appeared in Arthur's mind.

After a long while, Erica finally parted ways with reluctance.

Looking at Erica, who seemed drunk, Arthur jokingly remarked, "This doesn't look like you at all."

"I promise I won't let you down in the future," Erica said, giving Arthur a flirtatious wink.

Arthur smiled but didn't answer. Instead, he asked with a puzzled look, "Where is Athena?"

Erica pinched her chin with her slender fingers, pondered for a moment, and then shook her head. "I don't know either. After that goddess went out with me this morning, we parted ways."

Hearing this, Arthur didn't pay it any mind. Instead, he stood up and said, "Take good care of Artoria..."

"The king's will is supreme."

Erica instantly understood, her face serious as she knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice.

A hand rested on hers, gently rubbing it a few times as if petting her cat.

When Erica looked up, Arthur had already vanished.

Chapter 359 Monkey God

Tochigi Prefecture, Nikkō Tōshō-gū.

Nikkō Tōshō-gū was built by Tokugawa Ieyasu as an incarnation of a god protecting the country. It is a building similar to a religious structure, and then Western Heaven Shrine was secretly built there.

Western Heaven Shrine is a shrine dedicated to the "Monkey God"Dragon Slayer who vanquishes demons.

The Western Heaven Shrine is just a shrine, not occupying a large area, but it is surrounded by a peach forest, and you can vaguely see the straw ropes that maintain the barrier.

This barrier was a seal specifically used by Tenkai from Nikkō Tōshō-gū, to bind the "Monkey God," a creature known as "Bimawen."

Only the Hime Miko can weaken the seal on "Bimawen".

"--Fear those who possess wings! The wicked and the powerful alike fear me, with my wings! My wings will bring you curses! The wicked cannot strike me--"

A phantom, indescribable even by afterimages, entered the Nikkō Tōshō-gū, swiftly traversed the road leading to the Western Heaven Shrine, and entered the Western Heaven Shrine directly.

Even the young master of the Kuhōzuka Family, who guards the Western Heaven Shrine and will one day sit on the Kuhōzuka 787 Takehiko of the family, was unaware of this process.

The phantom stopped at the entrance of an ancient temple, where Arthur's figure appeared.

Around the temple, there are numerous straw ropes connecting all four directions, radiating a strong magical power.

Avalon--

A soft voice sounded, and Arthur's body was enveloped in a transparent white light shield. He ignored the barrier connected by straw ropes in front of him, walked to the lattice door of the shrine, and pushed it open to enter.

The scene inside the lattice door resembled a dark world.

Stepping onto the ground, which still felt solid, Arthur deactivated the transparent white light shield around him.

A strange feeling instantly washed over me.

It was a feeling of time standing still, but as soon as the feeling appeared, Arthur could no longer perceive it.

Perhaps it was ruled out because of its God Slayer or "Immunity) " characteristics.

The dark environment is a corridor, a corridor connecting the present world and the Hidden World.

The corridor wasn't very long. After walking for a while, a white light appeared in the darkness before Arthur's eyes.

After passing through the white light, there was a stable similar to the one we had passed before.

There are only stables here, but no horses are grazing in the stables.

It was, no... a monkey with golden fur.

Upon arriving before Mascher, Arthur sensed a peculiar power.

Before he could even peer inside, a monkey face that wasn't red appeared before him. The monkey, only 80 centimeters tall, sized him up and chuckled, "I sense the aura of my 'natural enemy' on you! God Slayer, are you here to find me?"

"Me? You refer to yourself as 'me'?" Arthur frowned slightly, looking at the monkey with a complicated expression.

"Oh? Looks like you know me pretty well?" The monkey instantly understood Arthur's meaning and said nonchalantly, "The person who locked me up here calls me 'Monkey God,' you can call me that too."

"If you want to kill me, you're in for a disappointment." The monkey lay down on the hay in the stable, stuffed a straw into its mouth, and said with utter boredom, "The people who built this place sealed my divinity with Anti-God Spell. Now I'm Heretic God's who has broken away from the Mythical Garden, but just a monkey who plays with people."

"If you want to kill me completely, you must first break the spell that seals me, the one called 'Bimawen'! However, breaking this seal requires meeting three complicated conditions!"

"First, the divine nature of our enemy, the Dragon Serpent, has manifested."

"Secondly, a precious sword with a 'weakening' design."

"Thirdly, there are Hime Miko with Misfortune Purification abilities who wield treasured swords and use their powers."

"This seal isn't an ordinary Anti-God Spell; it's a binding of divine power. Even you God Slayer, without fulfilling these three conditions, cannot break through this Immunity- to-spell constitution," the monkey said lazily. "So, if you've come to kill me, then go and fulfill these three conditions! Otherwise, please leave!"

After listening to the monkey's words, Arthur looked at the ordinary stable in front of him, which was even more shabby than the outside.

"--With the power of my Word of Power, let justice be revealed in the world!"

Suddenly, Arthur reached out and grabbed at the air, and golden light condensed out of thin air. His body also emerged with a shimmering white light, exuding the aura of a wise man.

"Oh? This aura..." Sensing the power of that Authority, the monkey raised its head with interest, looking at the Golden Sword in Arthur's direction, a hint of anticipation appearing in its eyes.

"--These incantations are powerful and eloquent, the Sword of Wisdom of Victory-- "

Golden light coalesced into a Golden Sword engraved with mysterious runes, which Arthur held in his hand.

Holding Golden Sword capable of severing godhood, Arthur looked at Mascher before him and began weaving Word of Power in a cool, detached tone.

"--The 'Bimawen' seal was created by Tenkai, the monk of Nikkō Tōshō-gū, who used a monkey as a guardian of the gates of Tenkai. The magical power gathered from Sacred Grounds throughout Japan became the Tōshō Daigongen, binding the Heretic God 'Monkey God'! This seal embodies the wisdom of the ancients, accomplishing what was originally impossible--"

The incantation materialized from the Golden Sword, its mysterious runes swirling around its Golden Sword.

'Swish--'

A horizontal slash was delivered and landed on the stable.

'Click--'

Like the crisp sound of shattering glass, it resounded throughout the area.

In an instant, endless white cracks, like the shattering of space, spread across the entire stable.

The monkeys trapped inside were instantly petrified.

A crack also appeared on his petrified body.

Chapter 360: The Great Sage Equal to Heaven

"Bang--"

On the petrified monkey, as the first crack appeared, more cracks, some thick and some thin, continued to spread.

Before long, the monkey, which had been like a stone statue, suddenly began to tremble.

A terrifying divine power seeped out through these cracks, causing the entire earth to tremble violently.

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light shone out.

The entire stable was instantly blasted away by a terrifying gust of wind, and a golden beam of light shot into the sky.

"Reality Marble-- "

The moment he saw the golden light shoot into the sky, Arthur immediately activated his domain.

The surrounding scenery changed instantly!

The earth was golden, and the sky had turned into the starry night sky.

The stables, now in ruins, have vanished, replaced by a victorious battlefield steeped in a long history.

"The Victory's Golden World".

The change in environment did not affect the monkey.

Or rather, he is currently indulging in the enjoyment of regaining his power.

A golden beam of light shot into the sky, exploding into a dazzling firework beneath the starry sky.

The monkey, whose appearance had drastically changed, then hovered high in the sky.

Standing on a golden cloud, his short stature of only 80 centimeters has grown to about 1.6 meters, and he holds a cool-looking stick in his hand.

Monkey, no...

"I am Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven Bikou the Mount Huaguo, Water Curtain Cave— " Having reclaimed his divine status, the monkey, now known as the Great Sage Equal to Heaven to Heaven, stood atop a cloud. His red eyes, gleaming with golden light, no longer held their previous dejection but instead radiated a profound Kamui as he gazed down at Arthur. He spoke in a deep voice, "State your name, God Slayer!"

The fact that Arthur wasn't called 'The Fool' clearly shows that he had the respect due to an adversary for this 'natural enemy' who helped him break the seal.

"Arthur Pendragon-- " The Golden Sword in Arthur's hand disappeared, replaced by the magnificent Excalibur. His pure white knight's uniform also emitted a white light, transforming into a pale silver armor and a dark blue robe and cloak.

An aura of holiness and nobility permeated the air.

"Is it the same name as the 'King Arthur' from Celtic Mythology? That sword must be the Holy Sword Excalibur ', right?" Even with his Fiery Golden Eyes of Authority, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven couldn't see through Arthur's true nature under "Attribute Concealment) ". Like other "Heretic Gods ", he only regarded Arthur as a descendant of the 'King Arthur'.

On the contrary, he also saw through the true nature of Excalibur, and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven couldn't help but exclaim, "I never thought that legendary Divine Artifact would still exist in the world."
