Chapter 1158: A Dream Like a Bubble
At the border of the British Lostbelt in the Fairyland, there is a ship docked that no one has discovered.
This ship is the final destination of the Chaldean retreat.
Just as Liger thought, since Chaldea was able to come to the British Lostbelt, they must have their own methods.
This ship is Chaldea's mount, able to freely travel between pan-human history and the Lostbelt. It is even equipped with a spirit particle transfer system that can enter singularities. It is an indispensable and important partner in Chaldea's operations so far.
It is the dimensional border drilling ship - [Storm Border].
With the entire land of Britain being cursed and filled with fire and Morse, this is the only safe place in Chaldea.
Only by boarding this dimensional boundary drilling ship can they escape from the polluted earth and endless Morse and fly into the sky.
By then, it would be easier to leave Britain and head for Pan-Human History, or rush back to Camelot from the air to meet Liger.
So, when they started organizing the retreat, Mash and Da Vinci immediately contacted the Dimension Border Drilling Ship and asked the remaining personnel in Chaldea to start the ship and rush to their side.
Everyone stood and retreated, and went to rescue the Allied Forces on the battlefield, taking away the humans and northern goblins in the round table.
Altria also held Morgan and followed behind everyone, casting spells on everyone while protecting Her Majesty the Queen who had fallen from the altar.
However, at a certain moment, a voice sounded in her ears.
"...Put me down."
This was the sound coming from her arms.
"You, are you awake?"
Altria stopped and subconsciously looked into her arms.
There, the queen who had been in a deep sleep had indeed awakened, opening a pair of eyes as cold as winter.
Although her complexion still looked a little bad, there was nothing abnormal other than that.
"The poison has been removed by that man, and my injuries have been healed by him. If that's the case, why can't I wake up?"
Morgan broke free from Altria's arms and fell to the ground alone.
"Snapped!"
Perhaps because of excessive movement, the crown on Morgan's head slipped off and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Morgan was about to reach out to take it, but she stopped halfway through.
Glancing around, all I saw was either the red of the blazing flames or the black of the gathering Morse. Apart from that, there was no trace of what Britain was supposed to look like.
As more and more Mors gathered, Percival, Gareth, Mash, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Noknaree and others had no time to pay attention to the coalition army composed of fairies and humans who were resisting the attacking Mors, and the battle situation was very stalemate.
Da Vinci also controlled the mechanical arm carrying the unconscious Bagster and Habertlot, occasionally launching a few missiles into the dense group of Morse, and he also had no time to pay attention to what was behind him.
Therefore, no one noticed that Morgan had woken up, and no one noticed that Altria had stopped.
Morgan looked at this scene, and seeing Altria's surprised expression, obvious strong emotions appeared on his face for the first time.
That emotion is called sadness.
"you……"
Altria immediately understood why Morgan was like this, and wanted to say something, but found that she could not say anything.
"I'm not so destitute that I need you to worry about my emotions, Altria." Morgan seemed to see through Altria's inner thoughts, and his voice became cold. "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Since I have already lost, I can only accept Britain's fall to this point."
Morgan suppressed his sad expression, as if he had adjusted his mood.
But how can one let go of the obsession that has lasted for thousands of years?
Morgan probably didn't even know when the emotions surging in her heart would finally calm down.
But... she knew very well what she should do next.
Morgan turned around and left silently.
"Where are you going?"
Seeing this, Altria hurriedly followed.
Morgan did not answer this question, nor did he turn around to look at Altria. He just talked about another topic indifferently.
"That man went to fight Cernunnos, didn't he?"
Hearing this, Altria was stunned for a moment, then nodded silently.
Morgan was not surprised by this and spoke calmly.
"Leave that to him, I'll go deal with the other one."
As soon as these words came out, Artoria's steps suddenly stopped for a moment.
Morgan didn't care about Altria's reaction. As if he had sensed something, he quickly left the main group and walked away alone.
Altria glanced at Morgan's back, then looked at her companions behind her. After a while, she gritted her teeth and followed Morgan.
"Altria...!"
It seemed that someone finally noticed Altria's departure, but Altria ignored the exclamations behind her and quickly caught up with Morgan.
She could probably guess what Morgan was going to do.
In that case, she needs to go there.
…………
This is a high mountain some distance from Camelot.
On the top of a high mountain, a figure stood facing the wind, gazing into the distance.
"boom--"
A roar that shook the earth and sky came from the direction he was looking, and there was also a faint gust of air formed by the shock wave that rushed over like a strong wind, blowing to where he was, blowing all his clothes up.
"How could a mere human being fight to such an extent against an ancient god who had transformed into a cursed disaster, all alone..."
Standing in the wind, Naraku no Mushi said these words leisurely, with a sarcastic smile on his face.
"This is like a dream, don't you think so?"
Behind this person, a space became transparent like a mirror, and ripples appeared like the surface of water, allowing two similar figures to appear together.
It was Morgan and Altria who used [Combined Mirror] to penetrate the space.
Morgan was no longer wearing the crown, but he still held the black gun in his hand with a cold look in his eyes.
Altria also held the Staff of Choice, looking at the figure standing in the wind in front of her, her eyes somewhat complicated.
"Oberon..."
Altria called out the other person's name in a low voice.
"Oberon Vortigern, that's what you should call me, Altria."
Oberon turned around and looked at Altria with a half-smile on his face.
"Looking at you, you must have suspected my identity a long time ago, just like Liger Brihaut, right?" Oberon said as if he had been defeated by Altria, "I thought I was disguising myself very well, but it turns out that facing something as unreasonable as the Fairy Eyes, no matter how good your disguise is, it is impossible to keep doing it flawlessly."
"...I just have doubts." Altria said in a deep voice: "Although you have always been careful to tell the truth when I am around, your truth sometimes "sounds fake"."
Some words, even if they are not false, are not necessarily true.
When Artoria was present, Oberon would often do this, saying things that were not lies, but were not true either.
Although Artoria did not tell that Oberon was lying, this ambiguous statement was still quite unnatural for Artoria, who was very sensitive to malice.
So, although unlike Liger, who knew Oberon's background from the beginning, after spending a long time with him, Altria still discovered some clues.
Of course, these were just some clues that made Altria feel a little confused, but not enough to make her doubt Oberon.
The time when Artoria really began to doubt Oberon was when Liger returned again and chose to confess Britain's secrets to everyone.
"From that time on, you have been avoiding Lige and me, intentionally or unintentionally, and you don't want to have too much contact with us." Altria stared at Oberon and said, "But you have been secretly paying attention to Lige and me, as if you really want to know if he will say something to me that he shouldn't."
Because she is very sensitive to malice and has the ability of [Fairy Eyes], Altria is able to discover these psychological changes in Oberon.
"Now it seems that you really don't want to help us, Auberon."
In response to Altria's words, Oberon shook his head and refuted.
"No, I really want to help you." Oberon glanced at Morgan, who was emitting a cold and murderous aura, and sneered, "At least, we are united in our goal of defeating Morgan."
"In order to achieve this goal, how could I not sincerely help you?"
"If I don't help you defeat Morgan, or if you don't help me defeat Morgan, then I'll have a headache."
The sneer on Aoberon's face became more and more intense, until it looked a bit like he was mocking himself.
"I just didn't expect that monsters from outside this world would intervene in this war, leading to so many accidents."
Neither Morgan nor Altria asked who the "monster from outside this world" was that Oberon was talking about.
Because it is not necessary.
How could they not have noticed what Oberon had discovered?
Although Li Ge's performance has always seemed particularly mysterious, he has also been extremely frank. He has never thought about hiding anything, but he just feels that there is no need to make it so clear.
In this case, as fairies of paradise who were born with [Fairy Eyes], how could the former savior Ash and the current savior Altria not have guessed something?
Perhaps, they had already vaguely guessed that Lige was not from this anomalous zone, nor from pan-human history, but was a person from another world.
Both Morgan, who is shrewd and good at strategy, and Altria, who seems unreliable but is actually very sensitive and troublesome, have some speculations about Lige's origins.
But at this moment, it is no longer important.
"Vortigern, Britain's own desire for self-destruction, the embodiment of the Doomsday Device." Morgan said coldly: "Your existence itself is the source of Britain's decline to this point today. You must be eradicated."
Auberon even laughed at this.
"Lige Brihaut told you everything, didn't he? No wonder you came here!"
Auberon was right.
Lige had actually told Morgan about Oberon's affairs a long time ago.
No, it’s not right to say earlier. Lige told Morgan about this the night before the war, which was last night.
He didn't want Morgan to be tricked by the old bitch hiding in the dark in the end, so he gave her a heads up.
Lige himself did not expect that Morgan was so concerned about this matter that he had been using magic detection since last night in an attempt to find Oberon.
She cared too much about Britain. Since she had learned about the existence of "Oberon Vortigern" from Lieg, it was naturally impossible for her to let go of this person who was deliberately trying to destroy Britain.
Unfortunately, Morgan never found Oberon. This bug was too good at hiding and camouflaging. Even if Lige came to look for it, he might not be able to find it as it was hiding.
Until recently, Oberon attacked the clan leaders of the Wind, Earth, and Wing clans, and brought them to the big cave, revealing some traces. Only then did Morgan, like Lige, find him.
After finding Oberon, it would not be difficult for Morgan to find him again.
In terms of magic ability alone, Morgan is stronger than Liger. It is easy for him to find Oberon whose whereabouts have been confirmed.
Auberon was not surprised by this, but he wanted to laugh at it all the same.
"Your Britain is finished, Your Majesty. You still want to deal with me at this time?" Oberon said sarcastically, "You were a fairy from paradise, but you turned into the protector of this garbage dump. You still do this at this time. Is there really nothing wrong with your brain?"
"After all, you've said it yourself. I am the embodiment of Britain's desire for self-destruction. In other words, Britain itself wants to be destroyed."
"You're still going to deal with me for this? Even if the thinking circuits of fairies are completely different from normal ones, you are the most incomprehensible one among them."
Oberon's blunt sarcasm made Morgan fall into silence.
After a long while, Morgan finally spoke.
"This is the last thing I will do for Britain."
These words made Aoberon want to be shocked.
Suddenly, Altria spoke.
"You are Merlin, right? Auberon?"
At these words, Auberon remained silent.
"I understand."
Altria took a deep breath and showed a determined expression.
"Let us fight it out, Auberon Vortigern."
Artoria realized that this was her final battle in this world.
This time, it was not because of the mission, nor because of wanting to save something, but for myself.
Sensing Altria's intentions, Oberon showed a malicious smile on his face.
"Okay, come on."
"Let me destroy your illusory dreams."
