"We obey our King's command!"
Receiving the order, Lancelot and Gawain raised their weapons and responded.
In the very next moment, the two Divine Servants moved at the same time.
Lancelot leapt high into the sky, a massive crack appearing behind him, followed by the White Horse charging forth from the distance.
Riding the White Horse, Lancelot rushed forward.
Gawain was unwilling to fall behind. He drew his rapier and fixed an icy gaze upon the enormous Prometheus.
"God of another race, prepare for death."
The moment the words fell, Gawain's body transformed into a beam of light and shot toward Prometheus.
That was Gawain's ability.
Among the Twelve Knights of the Round Table, Gawain's story was the most myth-like, the noblest and most glorious.
Gawain was King Arthur's nephew, a powerful being blessed by the Sun and three fairies.
Honestly speaking, it was already deep into the night, and Gawain's power was not at its peak.
Blessed by the Sun and the fairies, Gawain's strength was divided according to the time of day.
Every morning, Gawain would gain the strength of the world's strongest knight, and during morning prayer that power would increase two or three times or even more. At noon, his strength would return to its morning level. In the afternoon, it would be cut in half, and late at night Gawain's power would return to normal.
Because of that, Gawain was not at his maximum right now, but it was enough for Yu.
However... Gawain was not riding a horse.
Gawain was the handsome knight known as the origin of the term "Prince on a White Horse." His fame and noble character were obvious among all the Knights of the Round Table.
After all, Gawain rejected the confession of the Green Knight's wife and instead married the ugly woman, the fairy from another world mentioned earlier.
"Now isn't the time to think about that."
Yu murmured quietly, then looked toward Gawain and Lancelot, who were already entangled in battle with Prometheus.
Although Gawain and Lancelot were Divine Servants, they would still be instantly killed before a Heretic God and a God Slayer.
Rather than saying the two knights were stopping Prometheus, it would be more accurate to say they were taking advantage of his current condition, in which he could not move freely, to harass him.
However, Yu knew that Prometheus was not using his full power. After all, the difference between a Heretic God and a Divine Servant was not small. Even if Prometheus could not move freely, he was still not someone Lancelot and Gawain could truly match.
Quite some time had passed, yet Yu still had not seen Prometheus use the lightning that had struck him earlier to attack the two knightly Divine Servants.
"If that's the case, then it's my turn."
Yu did not pay too much attention to it. He grasped Excalibur's hilt with both hands, and his expression became serious.
"Oh sword that with a single swing can pierce through all enemies, shine with glory and deprive all life!"
The young man's Spirit Speech echoed out.
The moment the words fell, Yu's hand transformed into a silver hand radiating the brilliance of steel. The instant the silver hand appeared, silver steel spread across Excalibur.
In the blink of an eye, Excalibur completed its transformation into a demonic sword.
After turning Excalibur into a demonic sword, Yu did not immediately swing it to attack Prometheus. After all, he still had abilities he had yet to use.
Thinking of that, Yu smiled, stretched out his silver hand toward Prometheus, and murmured:
"Fall!"
The moment the words fell, at the same time, the fragments of lunar rocks orbiting around the materialized Moon suddenly shone with silver light, then, as if summoned, transformed into magical swords and shot toward the distant blue planet.
"Hm? Is it time?"
Prometheus, who had been toying with the two Divine Servants, raised an eyebrow. Feeling the aura of Steel and Sword behind him, a smile appeared on his cloud-shaped face.
"Alright, all of you move aside!"
Looking at the two Divine Servants, Prometheus finished speaking, and a gigantic hand made of dark clouds stretched toward Lancelot and Gawain.
Seeing that, Lancelot and Gawain wanted to evade, but unexpectedly, another gigantic hand suddenly appeared and directly grabbed the two knightly Divine Servants.
Prometheus acknowledged that Lancelot and Gawain were fast, but no matter how fast they were, it was useless before fate and the future. He already knew where these two Divine Servants would appear in the next second, in the next moment, which was why he caught them so easily.
"Return."
Prometheus finished speaking and with a wave of his hand directly flung Lancelot and Gawain away. The two Divine Servants were thrown from the high clouds and crashed heavily into the sea.
Seeing that, Yu glanced over, then used Wind to pull the two knightly Divine Servants out of the sea.
After taking care of the two Divine Servants, Yu flew into the sky riding the powerful Wind.
Seeing Yu charging toward him, Prometheus roared. His face and gigantic hand formed from clouds suddenly scattered apart, and Prometheus's hundred-meter-tall body appeared before Yu's eyes once more.
Under Prometheus's control, the dark clouds mixed with lightning and fire parted, revealing the night sky hidden behind them.
However, the night sky no longer held stars, but only countless meteor-like magical swords, hundreds of them at a glance.
"Is that the Sword of Steel, the sword that can cut through everything?"
Feeling the aura coming from every meteor-magical sword made from lunar rocks, Prometheus looked at Yu and asked.
"You'll know if you take the hit, won't you?"
Faced with Prometheus's question, Yu did not answer. Instead, he clenched his fist, and the hundreds of meteor-magical swords suddenly accelerated, reaching Prometheus in an instant.
"Very powerful, but not enough!"
Prometheus finished speaking and waved his hand, causing the scattered dark clouds to suddenly unleash an enormous amount of lightning and fire. The lightning and fire mercilessly struck toward the meteor-magical swords.
To Yu's surprise, the lightning and fire actually stopped the meteor-magical swords.
It should be known that [Torn Silver Hand] was an extremely powerful Authority, a terrifying ability said to be capable of cutting through everything.
But now it had actually been stopped by Prometheus's lightning and fire?
"Boom boom boom!!!"
The meteor-magical swords violently collided with the lightning and fire, unable to advance even an inch, and began exploding one after another, turning into a sea of flames that illuminated the entire night sky.
Watching this scene, Yu's thoughts sank.
Ordinary lightning and fire could never stop the magical swords of [Torn Silver Hand], unless the origin of that lightning and fire was on the same level as [Torn Silver Hand]!
Thinking of that, a smile appeared on Yu's face.
If that was the case, then he knew which mythology Prometheus truly came from no, more accurately, he knew another powerful mythological system this guy was connected to Indian Mythology!
"Campione, the Sword of Steel cannot harm me. Are you still unwilling to draw that Holy sword Joyeuse created from Authority?"
Blocking the meteor shower of magical swords with lightning and fire, Prometheus still maintained an arrogant posture. In his Prophecy, Yu could only defeat him by relying on that ever-victorious Holy sword Joyeuse, created from countless Authorities, capable of cutting through Authority, and even Divinity itself!
That was Yu's only way to defeat him, or even kill him!
"You'll see that sword, but before that, I need to confirm one more thing..."
Yu said with a faint smile. After finishing his words, powerful Winds rose around him, and the scattered dark clouds gathered once more under the influence of the Wind, covering the moonlit sky that had just appeared.
"Hm?"
Noticing Yu's strange behavior, Prometheus frowned slightly.
In his Prophecy, Yu should have used Authority at this moment to sever his Prophecy ability, then kill him with the White Horse of the sun. But why had this young man still not acted?
Could it be that he was merely trying to dramatize things to prove that his Prophecy was wrong?
But did this young man not know that although fate was changeable, the fruit of fate was already determined?
Prometheus was confused, but he did not wish to understand. He had expectations for Yu, hope that the young man could defy fate, something he himself could not understand, nor could the gods.
However, Yu did not know what Prometheus was thinking. He only needed to confirm one more thing: the stone nail of the sinner that had earlier fallen into the sea together with Prometheus.
If his guess was correct, then before falling into the sea, the stone nail of the sinner, whose flames had been extinguished, was now burning amidst the sea!
"Sword of Nuada, grant me power!"
The Authority of [Torn Silver Hand] echoed out once again, but this time Yu no longer pointed the sword toward the Titan god among the clouds. Instead, he raised the sword, and the magical sword erupted with the silver brilliance of Steel.
When the Authority was activated, Yu's sword violently descended.
The sword light burst forth from the magical sword, instantly splitting apart the dark clouds in the sky, cleaving the earth, and cutting through the ocean.
The flow of the endless sea was severed, and the seabed was exposed to the air, revealing a long and narrow fissure.
And beside that fissure, a bronze pillar deeply embedded into the seabed burned with fierce flames.
Although seawater surrounded the bronze pillar, the flames showed no sign of extinguishing.
And that bronze pillar was none other than Prometheus's divine weapon the stone nail of the sinner!
Seeing the divine weapon burning, an expression of "just as I thought" appeared on Yu's face.
Standing high in the sky, Prometheus, who had no intention of stopping it, naturally also saw the stone nail of the sinner, but he was somewhat confused as to why Yu was doing this now.
But it did not matter, Prometheus would soon learn why.
Putting away Excalibur, Yu looked at Prometheus. Golden light spread beneath his feet, covering the land, enveloping the sea, and even illuminating the entire sky. Immediately afterward, Holy sword Joyeuse appeared out of nowhere and stabbed into the golden light.
"So it's finally coming?!"
Seeing Yu finally use the Sword of Authority that would kill him, Prometheus revealed surprise. Before he could react, dozens of Holy sword Joyeuse suddenly appeared, piercing through Prometheus's arms and legs, violently dragging him downward.
"Boom!!!"
With a loud explosion, Prometheus's hundred-meter-tall body crashed onto the surface of the sea, but because of the Holy sword Joyeuse, he did not sink, instead standing upon the sea.
Looking at the young man not far away, who looked more like a god than a god, Prometheus's face was filled with excitement. However, Yu's next words completely stunned Prometheus:
"Prometheus, no, more accurately, I should call you Bhrigu, one of the Seven Ancient Sages of Indian Mythology!"
