I NTR'd Myself? (Continued)

Because of the Endless War God skill and the constant barrage of random skills he used on the Lion King, Rovey's mana bar was almost depleted. He needed to catch his breath before he could continue fighting, while Artoria's Holy Lance was being suppressed due to compatibility issues.

Only the golden starlight on Bedivere's arm was constantly clashing with the storm released by the Black Lion King. The dazzling golden light naturally reminded Rovey and Artoria of the starlight that the Sword of Promised Victory once possessed. Rovey stopped in his tracks and looked at the strange scene before him.

"What exactly happened... Mr. Crowley? The Lion King's Spirit Origin hasn't changed at all!"

Gritting his teeth and enduring the excruciating pain that felt like his soul was being torn apart, Bedivere freed the Sword of Promised Victory with his arm and shouted out with great difficulty.

"There has been a change, this guy has definitely changed. I've already instilled everything I wanted to convey into her. The Lion King has indeed changed, but it will take some time for it to take effect." Rovey's answer was very certain. He looked at the Lion King in front of him, who had frowned and whose expression had changed, and shouted, "That's enough, Artoria. You've finished fighting and vented your anger. It's time for you to come back."

"I did look a bit bad in the fight just now, but your face is the most vulnerable part of your body. If I don't hit your face, I can't break through your defenses at all."

"——"

After Rovey finished speaking, the black Lion King before him seemed to grow even angrier. His guess was correct; after venting the Lion King's remaining magic and resentment, Black Lancer Artoria gradually regained control of her body and no longer intended to attack Rovey. At the same time, the light surging within her dark red Holy Lance contracted, and the released magic power visibly began to slow. Simultaneously, her black armor began to change.

"[A change in the Lion King's Spirit Origin has been detected. This scale, this scale—ahhh, the screen is so bright, I can't see anything!] "

"What is this light? What has happened this time?"

Artoria and Bedivere, who were facing the beam of light at close range, raised their arms, unable to see what was happening. Rovey, whose eyesight was the best and whose cultivation was the highest, paused slightly before speaking with utmost seriousness.

"Cast off".

"Huh?"

The two were slightly taken aback.

"Hemisphere."

"Ha?"

Both of them wore strange expressions.

After venting his final emotions, the surge of magical power stored in the Holy Lance finally ended. Bedivere knelt down, clutching the arm that shouldn't have been his, and frowned as he looked at the Lion King, who had completely merged with the All the World's Evil, Spirit Origin had undergone a dramatic change and whose entire body had begun to glow.

"Hmm..."

Amidst the mingled light, the Lion King let out a soft roar, and as the storm gradually subsided, the chaotic battlefield finally came to an end.

"The Lion King?"

Aside from Rovey, who had anticipated this, everyone present was stunned. Although the Lion King in front of them had not changed her appearance and still had the standard Takeuchi Face of the Artoria, her aura and magic had undergone a tremendous transformation.

Artoria, in particular, was filled with disbelief. The "Lion King" before her was displaying a side of her that she had never seen before, one that was even more imposing and powerful.

The jet-black armor, the light golden hair, the imposing and angular head ornament, the "Holy Lance" resembling Demon God Pillars with alternating red and black patterns, and Bedivere and Artoria suddenly understood what Rovey had just meant by "Cast off" and "the hemisphere has changed".

She turned around and saw that Rovey's gaze was indeed fixed on the hemisphere.

It's hardened; its fists have hardened.

"You're not allowed to look at her!"

Artoria, like a lioness with her mane bristling, reached out and slapped Rovey across the eye, then turned her head back and said seriously, "Look at me if you want to see!"

"Ah..."

Rovey was startled by her shout. He couldn't help but glance at the pair of huge human hearts revealed behind the Black Lancer Artoria's armor, and then at the white human hearts in front of him, which, although somewhat developed, were nowhere near as large as those of Artoria.

"Tsk..."

Rovey couldn't help but smack his lips.

"You scoundrel! You like big ones, don't you!"

His response was naturally Artoria's Whale Slaughtering Fist.

However, after carefully observing her other self's abnormally large, even wildly grown, human hearts, Artoria couldn't help but rub her own human hearts, and then—

"Um... darling, is there any Black Mud left?"

She pinched her heart, then asked Rovey somewhat shyly.

"Black Mud? Gone... I've banished it all. All the All the World's Evil has been used to corrupt the Lion King's Spirit Origin; there's nothing left. And I don't think it's because of the Black Mud... it seems to be an individual difference... and if you were to come into contact with the Black Mud, it would only..."

"Cough cough, it's nothing."

Rovey instinctively wanted to explain, but when he thought of the vivid scene from that night when Artoria was covered in Black Mud and Nitocris pinned him down on the bed and raped him, he immediately stopped himself from recalling that strange memory.

"So... is this considered a great success? It seems the spread of the Holy Lance has stopped, but why do I feel that her aura is even more terrifying? And what exactly is the Lion King's attitude in this state?"

Artoria looked warily at the Black Lancer Artoria in front of her, who was clearly an Artoria like herself, but whose heart was almost twice that of hers. Her face was full of displeasure, especially at the subconscious focused gazes of Rovey and Bedivere just now.

Bedivere is one thing, but as for Rovey, in the Mirror of Illusions, she spent their honeymoon and marriage with Rovey. She was a devoted wife and mother, sharing a loving bed. If it weren't for ensuring Mordred's successful succession and preventing her from having a younger brother before she matured, she would have had countless children. Therefore, Artoria subconsciously felt uncomfortable seeing someone paying attention to another woman's situation right in front of her, even if that person was another version of herself!

"Um...?"

Black Lancer Artoria had completely synchronized with her body and perfectly mastered the Lion King's body, raised her head at this moment. But after that, she just stood there silently, staring blankly in the direction of everyone with her pupils that seemed to reflect something indistinct.

"Mr. Crowley, what exactly is The Lion King...?"

"Don't rush, Bedivere. I can't guarantee anything else, but she definitely has feelings now. All her emotions and desires, as well as my memories and experiences with Artoria, have been injected into her body. It seems like it's all done."

Rovey stated definitively that when he transformed from the Lion King into Black Lancer Artoria, he kept reciting in his mind, "Shariputra, form is emptiness, emptiness is form," attempting to distract himself. However, his eyesight was too good, his Perfect Realm too high, and he couldn't help but look where he shouldn't have.

Then Rovey was stared at by Artoria's angry gaze, while the Lion King met his eyes with a smile, making the scene extremely strange.

The Lion King has become Black Lancer Artoria, Tower of the End has come to a complete end, but neither side has made a move, both fearing that things might suddenly take a turn for the worse.

The enemy didn't move, and neither did I; the situation was very strange.

However, while the other party remained still, Rovey was also trying his best to recover the magic power he had consumed, so that if a situation really occurred, he wouldn't be unable to play a role.

So the scene became: Black Lancer Artoria looked at Rovey thoughtfully, Artoria looked at Black Lancer Artoria with envy, jealousy and hatred, Rovey was admiring her while trying to catch his breath, and Bedivere didn't dare to go up and acknowledge her.

After all, this was not just somewhat different from the capital city he remembered; it was practically a completely different person.

"You're still watching!"

"Ahem, I'm just keeping an eye on her to prevent her from doing anything rash. I really have no other intentions. You have to believe me, Lily."

"I don't believe you!"

Before Rovey could finish speaking, Artoria angrily grabbed his chest and gave him a quick, intense hug. The love from both worlds was relentlessly tormenting her head, seemingly intent on a chest-killing incident.

"Have you seen enough now?"

"Ahem, I've seen enough, yours is even better—Ouch, don't bite my ear!"

Just before Rovey was about to be drowned by Artoria's face wash, Black Lancer Artoria had only been watching and thinking all along, finally took action.

"It's not simply the All the World's Evil, but rather a collection of the purest [emotions] and [desires] that has been filtered through the characteristics of the Child of God. Thanks to you, the divinity within the Holy Lance has indeed been suppressed, and I have been freed from my cage. This is something I did not expect. You truly surprise me, Child of God."

Having completed its transformation, Black Lancer Artoria slowly extended its palm to observe, then strode towards Rovey and the others.

"Sir Bedivere."

She softly called out that most familiar name, then came to Bedivere and gently placed her palm on his head.

"You've had a tough journey to get here, and I've seen all your efforts. Now I remember you, you were the knight who stayed with me until the very end."

Instead of attacking Bedivere, Black Lancer Artoria offered the knight words of comfort and heartfelt thanks.

Almost instantly, the moment Bedivere heard the king call his name, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Lion—no, King Arthur!"

"I am not the Lion King, but I am also clearly different from the King Arthur you remember."

Black Lancer Artoria shook his head, looked at Rovey standing next to Artoria, and said, "It is he who has made my current situation so strange."

"Cough cough cough... It's a misunderstanding, it really is just a misunderstanding, I really didn't do anything to wrong you Lily!!"

While Rovey was being interrogated by Artoria, the Black Lancer Artoria in front of him took another step and slowly approached Rovey.

"Your Majesty... what are you going to do!?"

Seeing that Black Lancer Artoria had regained his humanity and emotions, and accepted him, Bedivere was naturally incredibly excited and happy. With that comforting word, his thousand-year-long suffering and journey had finally come to an end. Moreover, Black Lancer Artoria now seemed very rational and composed, and should be able to resolve the current problem peacefully.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Rovey, whose head had been pulled out of Artoria's chest, watched Black Lancer Artoria approach and prepared for another FGO-style battle—[although there was no need to fight, it was still necessary to play for time-consuming and card-selling purposes]. Artoria was also ready to have one last showdown with this version of herself.

Despite not fighting for it, her intuition told her that this matter was not over, and that the Black Lancer Artoria in front of her might become her biggest opponent.

And her Instinct was indeed correct.

"Rovey Crowley, you Child of God who dragged me down from the throne of heaven—"

Black Lancer Artoria looked at Rovey, and then, without any killing intent, unleashed a speed that no one had imagined—

They kissed!

As expected of the Black Lancer Artoria, she easily accomplished what Artoria could not.

"Hmm—wait, wait, wait?!?"

Since the Perfect Realm didn't issue any danger warning, Rovey didn't dodge, and Artoria didn't react in time either, because Black Lancer Artoria truly had no killing intent.

"What... what are you doing!?"

"Isn't it obvious? I'm proposing to you..."

"Huh? What kind of logic is this? Shouldn't you be taking the opportunity to retaliate because you're still unhappy after I beat you up? Why..." Rovey pulled away from Black Lancer Artoria's lips and looked at the Artoria in front of him with some disbelief. The Artoria's thought process was quite different from what he had imagined.

"Why should I hit you? You freed me? You let me regain my body and shared your memories and emotions with me. I'm so grateful to you."

Black Lancer Artoria tilted his head slightly, then spoke with a calm gaze that left no room for criticism.

"And as I said before, you are the partner I chose, and even though we no longer need to reach the ends of the earth, that will not change."

"Ha?!"

It seems that after the Black Mud devoured the Lion King's divinity, it amplified some of the special attributes of Black Lancer Artoria!

Looking at Black Lancer Artoria's face so close to his own and feeling his warm breath, Rovey broke out in a cold sweat.

But it was too late to escape. Black Lancer Artoria was right in front of him, and Artoria, who was beside him, wrapped her arms around his waist and tightened her fingers slightly.

If he tries to run away, he'll definitely be caught today.

"Child of God, the chosen one, Crowley ... I agree with your emotions and ideals, and because of what you did to me before, my soul and body resonate with yours, so..."

Black Lancer Artoria grabbed his arm, looking intently into Rovey's eyes.

"Marry me, Rovey... become my concubine. From this moment on, I will become your spear. Please use me without hesitation or pity."

"—?!!"

Rovey Wei was dumbfounded. "This, this isn't appropriate, is it? I have a family..."

"It's alright, I don't mind."

"Don't you even know what 'first come, first served' means?!"

Artoria shouted alarmed, finally understanding where that ominous premonition came from—it was another version of herself trying to steal her man.

Moreover, she was an Artoria type, and also possessed four special attributes that overlapped with her own, including corruption, large breasts, and great strength. She was the strongest opponent she had ever encountered.

After all, there was a useless doctor in Chaldea who loved cake who once explained to her—[Men all like darkness].

So this guy really can suppress himself in every aspect!

To avoid the terrible situation of me cheating on myself, Artoria immediately joined the battle.

At the same time, the topmost gate, closest to the palace, was kicked open from the outside.

"Mr. Crowley, Senior Artoria — Camelot has been breached, and the energy response of the Tower of the End has stopped. We've come to help you, eh? Eh... Ah!!"

Ritsuka, whose wounds had just been bandaged, was helped in by Nitocris, who rushed over. Beside them were Mash and Lancelot, as well as Agravaine, who was tightly bound by Mash.

Following behind, Gaheris, Bors, Percival, and the other Heroic Spirit were also stunned. They watched as Rovey's head kept moving between the two hemispheres, the Southern Hemisphere and the Northern Hemisphere, and the helplessness on his face seemed to materialize.

Meanwhile, Black Lancer Artoria and White Lancer Artoria were staring intently at each other, ignoring the feelings of the person in the middle, sparks flying everywhere.

Not far away, Bedivere looked at the group of people who had entered with a pleading gaze.

Everyone: "..."

At this moment, the complex and strange scene caused the minds of the people who had just entered to completely shut down.

The crowd standing at the door were in extremely complicated feelings. After hesitating for a moment, they took a step back, and then Lancelot closed the thick iron door again.

'Bang--!'

This situation must be because they're doing it wrong.
