I Created the Holy Grail War and Shocked the World Chapter 48

This sudden turn of events left everyone present utterly stunned.

The old curator, bewildered, took off his glasses and wiped them, his face a mask of disbelief.

Damn it, my antiques grew legs and ran off!

"That... that's King Arthur..."

Mashiro Shiina murmured, trembling uncontrollably, lost in a daze.

Ever since the Glastonbury incident, she had seen that beautiful light again...

Shining with the knight's ideals, An immaculate radiance.

Chapter 55: Merlin the Magician of Flowers Makes a Shocking Entrance!

Inside the British Museum, the deathly silence was finally broken by a gasp.

Some Englishman smacked his head, realizing what a world-shattering event this was.

His eyes bulged with bloodshot veins, staring intently at the old curator, and he roared at the top of his lungs, "What are you waiting for? Report it quickly!!"

"Oh, oh... Right, right."

The old curator shivered and quickly instructed his subordinates to arrange for the museum's closure.

Damn it all!

To have such a miracle appear during my tenure, I don't know if it's good or bad.

My comfortable retirement might be ruined.

The blonde girl was dazed as she was ushered out.

She stood in the center of the crowd outside the museum, gazing at the sky.

She still hadn't recovered from the Sword in the Stone flying through the air.

Yet, she instinctively took out her paintbrush and began to draw, her focused expression incredibly cute.

Like a maiden as brilliant as flying blossoms.

The surrounding tourists chattered amongst themselves, trembling with excitement that was palpable.

They had missed the miracle at Glastonbury last time.

But this time, at the British Museum, they had luckily stumbled upon a miracle.

Sonoko Suzuki, the chaebol heiress, clicked her tongue, her expression incredibly excited, completely abandoning any pretense of ladylike behavior as she burst into laughter, "This trip was so worth it! Hehehe, I'm going back to show off to Ran."

"She'll definitely be envious that I got to see the Sword in the Stone fly away with my own eyes."

"If only... if only I could share it with her."

Suddenly, her mood dipped.

If it were local delicacies, Sonoko could spend money to share them with Ran.

But a miracle related to King Arthur was an almost impossible situation to replicate.

This matter quickly exploded on the internet.

Numerous unedited photos from the British Museum circulated, causing the entire world to erupt in shock, billions of people stunned into an uproar.

This wasn't a joke.

Nor was it like the phantom image from the Glastonbury incident.

It was a Holy Sword that truly existed in reality!

It had been buried in ancient history, submerged by the long passage of time, its divine nature gradually concealed, a pearl hidden in dust, now blooming its brilliance tonight, illuminating thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!

Most importantly...

The Holy Sword was a tangible object, meaning it could be obtained, wielded, and used by someone.

Many Englishmen's eyes burned with fervor, their breathing quickening at the thought.

That was the legendary "Sword of Selection," the sword King Arthur drew to become king. If they themselves could gain recognition from the Sword in the Stone in reality, wouldn't that be destiny's calling, making them the prime minister of the empire on which the sun never set?

The entire world descended into chaos in an instant.

America, France, the British Empire... Major media outlets vied to report it, fearing they'd miss out on a single drop of fresh "soup," and even high-level officials in various countries were shaken, politicians harboring greedy desires for the Holy Sword.

That was a path to transcendence.

No need to transform into a vampire, diligently practice demon-extermination arts, or undergo cruel human modification; it could elevate a mortal to the heavens in an instant.

Countless old monsters lurking in the shadows were also alerted.

So, that sword had finally appeared!!

……

"Shuu, where do you think the Sword in the Stone will land? Judging by its direction, it seems to be heading for Japan."

In Tokyo, a blond boy grinned widely, bantering with his companion beside him.

"Maybe it'll fly to me! After all, I have the gentle 'King's Qualification,' eheh."

The brown-haired boy, a little shy, took a small bite of takoyaki and chuckled good-naturedly.

The blond boy sneered, "How is that possible? If you truly have the so-called King's Qualification and are chosen by the Sword in the Stone, I'll chop off your right hand holding the sword and take the Sword in the Stone for myself to become king!"

"Wow, don't be so cruel, Gai," his companion wailed in complaint.

"Just kidding."

Under the blond boy's teasing smile, the two figures gradually walked away.

……

Soon.

Led by the British Empire, supersonic fighter jets were dispatched to track the Sword in the Stone.

Onboard was a beautiful female radio reporter serving as commentator, trembling with excitement, her face contorted by the strong airflow.

Shortly after, flying at an altitude of ten thousand meters over the vast Pacific Ocean, they discovered the beautiful "white comet," and the holy sword seemed to be excitedly flying towards the Far East.

In an instant.

People all over the world watching the live broadcast on TV erupted!

"Sword in the Stone!!"

Countless Britons were moved to tears, shouting the true name of the miraculous sword.

Many Asians were also overjoyed, as the holy sword was flying towards them.

Could it be that the other party intended to choose a man in Asia to become king in the British Empire?

But strangely, The ancient and majestic holy sword suddenly faltered, floating in the sky above the Pacific Ocean, hovering in place.

As if encountering a roadblock while driving?

No…

This was not difficult for it; if there was an obstacle, it could simply cut through it.

The holy sword was raised high, like an excited child, instantly unleashing a snow-white radiance that engulfed everything, and fiercely slashed down towards the vast Pacific Ocean…

"Hiss~"

Many people watched this scene, their hair standing on end, a sense of foreboding rising within them.

It felt as if a great disaster was about to occur along with the Sword in the Stone's attack.

"Yamete—!!"

All over the world, countless leaders of demon-extermination organizations suddenly reacted, crying out in unison, letting out despairing groans, their bodies trembling.

Damn it!

As the long years passed, that earth-shattering event had become so distant that people were almost forgetting.

If that terrifying thing were truly released, no amount of human lives would be enough to fill the void!

What are you doing, Holy Sword!

Have you betrayed humanity?

But no matter how unwillingly they roared, it was too late to stop it.

"Rumble…!!"

The ocean trembled violently, erupting in a deafening roar, and trillions of marine life instantly perished.

The blood dyed the water red, filled with the despairing cries of countless beings before their deaths.

"What, what is that?!"

The female reporter in the fighter jet looked on in horror, unsure how to explain.

On the sea surface ahead, a massive blood-red vortex instantly formed, its terrifying suction pulling in countless aircraft carriers, like a bottomless, dark abyss, exuding a chilling aura…

——

Japan's Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.

"Black Hole… Why is it so big…"

Isayama Yomina's teeth chattered, and her body uncontrollably slumped in her chair.

Her rich experience as a demon slayer allowed her to recognize the nature of that thing at a glance.

It was precisely because of this that she felt fear engulfing her entire body, the coldness from her spine shooting straight to the crown of her head, preventing even the desire to fight from arising.

A black hole, in simple terms, is a "teleportation gate," which could very likely allow some demons and monsters to come through the passage, and occasionally visitors from other worlds, but 99.99% of the time, it's vengeful spirits and evil spirits that emerge from it.

She usually dealt with black holes a few meters or tens of meters across, with the strongest being B-class evil spirits.

She had also encountered black holes tens of meters wide, and Isayama Yomina would choose to lead a team there. Basically, these black holes either spawned a large number of low-level evil spirits or a single terrifying A-class evil spirit, putting immense pressure on her.

The larger the black hole, the stronger the monsters that could emerge from it.

This was a consensus among exorcists.

And the black hole before them, by rough estimation, was at least a thousand meters wide.

Heh...

Isayama Yomina suddenly laughed and, lounging on the sofa in a "Ge You lie" pose, completely gave up.

The next moment.

As if to confirm her understanding.

Over the Pacific Ocean, a sound like the sky tearing apart erupted with a roar.

"RUMBLE...!!"

A pair of鬼神 (oni-god) hands reached out from the black hole, stirring up monstrous waves. A terrifying aura ravaged the heavens and earth, instantly covering the sky with dark clouds, and countless pale lightning bolts struck down.

A ten-thousand-ton aircraft carrier was like a mere toy in its presence.

The camera shook violently as fighter jets flew erratically, and the reporter, a young lady, was too panicked to stand steady.

If it weren't for the sheer number of people watching the live broadcast, she would have involuntarily wet herself from fear.

What the hell is this?!

A deathly silence.

All living beings trembled in fear.
