But having promised Bedivere, how could Mo Li possibly stop? Facing the sweeping silver magic, Mo Li made no attempt to dodge and charged straight at it.
"Saber, I've come to rescue you!"
"The Sword of Victory (Excalibur)!"
Countless golden rays converged into a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky, its power no less than that of the Holy Lance.
Looking at that familiar aura, the Lion King suddenly felt a splitting headache, and countless memories flooded his mind.
"09 is...Excalibur..."
"That's right, this is your sword, Saber. I've come to take you home!"
"I can't remember, you are..."
The Lion King's tone became less solemn, and instead sounded somewhat weak.
At this moment, she didn't seem like a queen at all, but just someone who had lost her way on a journey.
Mo Li, holding the holy sword, slowly walked up to the Lion King, his eyes filled with doting affection.
This was her first familiar, and the one who truly accompanied her from the very beginning to the very end. Mo Li had a special affection for Artoria.
"It's alright, Saber. I'm sorry. Let me reintroduce you now..."
Golden light emanated from Mo Li's eyes, and black wings sprouted from his back, enveloping the two of them.
"I am a demon lord from another world, who came seeking a servant. I ask you, Saber, are you willing to raise the holy sword for me once more?"
Mo Li held the Excalibur sword to his chest, its blade flashing as if celebrating the return of its master.
Suddenly, a silvery-white light emanated from the Lion King's heart, and her spirit foundation quietly changed.
The Lion King's spirit is fading, and Artoria has regained control.
In the instant the Lion King disappeared, Mo Li seemed to vaguely hear her say:
"Thank you!"
By the time Mo Li realized what was happening, Saber was standing in front of him again.
Although her image has changed a lot from before, since Mo Li still spends more time with Black Saber, they are both the same person, so Mo Li is at ease.
"Servant Saber, I have been summoned!"
Artoria, holding the holy sword, knelt on one knee and solemnly performed a standard knightly salute to Mo Li.
Mo Li nodded and stepped forward to hug Artoria.
The sight of the two embracing tightly shocked Bedivere, who was lying on the ground. It seemed that the King was happier to see Mori than to see him.
"Ahem, how long are you two planning to stop hugging?"
Gudako pouted, her eyes fixed on the two of them, interrupting their meeting at an inopportune moment.
This familiar feeling made her somewhat immersed in it. Since Mo Li had more followers, she hadn't enjoyed Mo Li's embrace for a long time.
Although Mo Li had never mistreated anyone, which of his relatives wouldn't want to have him all to themselves?
"King Arthur, on behalf of the Knights of the Round Table, I thank you for bearing the burden of that dark age alone. You are our shining star, my king! My sovereign!"
After hearing Bedivere's monologue, Artoria slowly walked up to him.
Former subjects, now enemies.
But Artoria felt no resentment; all she felt was immense heartache for her dearest friend.
"Lord Bedivere, I have never forgotten the face of that knight who worried about me until the very end, his eyes swollen from crying. To erase the regret in your heart, have you been wandering through countless hardships?"
“Excellent! My last and most loyal knight, you have successfully returned the Holy Sword. So raise your head, Bedivere, you have indeed fulfilled the command of your king!”
Artoria slowly extended a hand and placed it on Bedivere's forehead.
Bedwell wore a relieved expression, and Mo Li saw ease in his face.
He has finally completed his mission and can finally rest.
"Mo Li, if we ever meet again, please let me fight for you!"
After saying that, Bedivere's body turned into streaks of starlight and disappeared before everyone's eyes.
The battle is over, and the outcome seems to be moving in a positive direction.
From Gudako, Mo Li learned that Sanzo, Tawara Tota, Osmandis, Cursed Arm, and Shizuka had returned to Valhalla, and couldn't help but sigh.
They are Servants summoned to this world, and after completing their mission, they will naturally return to Valhalla.
Artoria and Mordred had already been expelled from Valhalla because of Mordred.
Mo Li couldn't help but think of those two little lolis, Alaya and Gaia. They had stolen so many top-tier heroic spirits; would they come looking for revenge?
"Fujimaru, Mashu, Da Vinci, the time-space transfer is ready. You can come back at any time!"
Gudako turned her gaze to Mo Li, wanting to speak but unsure of what to say.
Seeing this, Mashu immediately stepped forward and extended her hand in invitation:
"Senior Mo Li, could you please join Chaldea? I... and you both hope you can come!"
Mashu stared intently at the expression on Mo Li's face, afraid that he would refuse her like last time.
Gudako was also nervous, her hands clenched into fists, her palms sweaty.
Looking at their earnest eyes, Mo Li smiled and spread his hands, as if he had no other choice.
Morgan had said she could help him return, but their cooperation had broken down, and getting her help would be harder than climbing to heaven. Now, the only way forward was to cooperate with Chaldea.
"Sure, I have nowhere to go right now anyway, so please take care of me in the future!"
Mo Li reached out and shook hands with Mashu.
"Great! Cough cough cough, I meant welcome to the team, Senior Mo Li!"
Gudako couldn't contain her joy and jumped up happily.
"Alright, the spirit transfer device is ready. Target: Phineas Chaldea, the Humanity Survival Preservation Organization in 2016 AD. Six personnel. Transfer commence!"
Dr. Roman's voice appeared out of nowhere in Mo Li's ears, and a blue beam of light enveloped him.
The next second, Mo Li and the others disappeared.
In the ruins not far away, Morgan's figure suddenly appeared, his eyes filled with complex emotions as he looked in the direction where Mo Li had disappeared.
"We'll meet again soon, Demon King!"
Chapter 489 First Arrival at Chaldea, Reencounter with the Great Dog Cú Chulainn
With a flash of bright light, Mo Li felt dizzy and disoriented, as if he were in a weightless space, unable to exert any strength in his hands and feet.
When he opened his eyes again, a white figure stood in front of him.
As the appearance of the person in front of him gradually overlapped with the image in his mind, Mo Li shook his head, trying to dispel the discomfort.
Dr. Roman then extended one hand and solemnly said:
"Welcome to Chaldea. I'm the person in charge here. Just call me Dr. Roman!"
"Hello, Mo Li!"
Mo Li also extended a hand and shook hands with Dr. Roman.
Through simple physical contact, Mo Li could not sense any magic from him.
However, Mo Li dared not underestimate him because of this. After witnessing Merlin's miraculous magic, he dared not underestimate these Grand Servants.
Even though Dr. Roman is no longer in the coronal position, he still needs to be cautious.
"Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu, congratulations on your safe return!"
"Confirmed: The foundation stone for Humanity has been repaired, and the sixth crown position has been designated. Thank you for your hard work!"
Gudako nodded, then stretched. This time, she felt different from before. Usually, she would be exhausted every time she came back, but this time she felt exceptionally relaxed.
Perhaps with Mo Li's addition, the burden on Gudako's shoulders has been greatly reduced.
It seems that as long as Mo Li is there, all problems will be solved.
"This time it was really tough, but now there's only one singularity left!"
"Speaking of this, I have a special discovery to show you."
As he spoke, Dr. Roman pressed a few buttons on the control panel, and an image appeared out of thin air.
"This is the seventh singularity I've identified, predating even the era of the Magic King, meaning it's from a time even older than 1011 BC..."
After Dr. Roman performed another procedure, the scene shifted to a plain.
"A singularity was observed in ancient Mesopotamia around 2600 BC!"
Upon hearing Dr. Roman's words, a glint of light flashed in Mo Li's eyes. Uruk culture, Gilgamesh, an era in which gods still existed.
Perhaps this will contain information about his return to the other world.
"No problem, with Senior Mo Li here, even the most powerful enemy will not be a match for him!"
Gudako was blind to Mo Li's strength; her eyes would light up whenever he was mentioned.
Faced with Gudako's praise, Mo Li gave a wry smile. He was completely clueless now, and the situation seemed to have spiraled out of his control.
Just like this time, according to the original storyline, Morgan doesn't even exist.
Her appearance disrupted Mo Li's plans to some extent. Although the outcome was good, Mo Li had a premonition that she would definitely meet her again in the future.
"That's true. Mo Li's combat strength is an unprecedented boost for Chaldea. If we take that factor into account, it doesn't seem so difficult to defeat him!"
Dr. Roman clearly agreed with Gudako's point of view, and the way he looked at Mo Li changed slightly.
Mashu had changed into her usual clothes, wearing a white coat and black-rimmed glasses, looking exceptionally quiet, a complete contrast to her battle persona.
"Senior Mo Li, there are many rooms here. Let me take you to find one you like!"
"Okay, Mash, please. Also, Saber and Mordred, you two should find a room too. We'll be staying here for a while."
Since he had decided to cooperate with Chaldea, Moli was happy to stay here.
Led by Mashu, Mo Li and his group walked through a long corridor, with snow covering the outside of the windows.
According to Mashu, the world outside Chaldea has been destroyed, the sky is white, and time has frozen in 2016.
"Da~da~da~la~la~la!"
Perhaps because of Mo Li's addition, Mashu hummed songs all the way, and her mood became cheerful.
Just as everyone was walking through the kitchen, Mo Li suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Why is it curry rice again today? Damn it, are you targeting me, you bastard?"
"People who waste food have no right to point fingers here. It's good enough that we have food to eat."
"Huh? You want to fight again?"
Mo Li raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips. How could he possibly forget that voice?
This is Cú Chulainn, Scáthach's disciple, who has been with him in battle for several months.
Pushing open the dining hall door, one sees Cú Chulainn holding a scepter, poised to launch an attack.
Red A across from him didn't even glance at him, but just kept stirring the curry in the pot with the spoon in his hand.
"Damn it, are you underestimating me?"
"Boring. Master and Mash just got back recently, and I heard they brought new companions with them. I'm very busy and don't have time to waste with your nonsense!"
"I'm serious, you bastard!"
Cú Chulainn yelled, but Red A was completely unaffected. He picked up a spoon, tasted it, and nodded.
Seeing this, Mo Li couldn't help but step forward and mock:
"I didn't expect you to still have such a bad temper after all this time, big dog!"
"Which bastard called me by my nickname behind my back?"
Cú Chulainn couldn't stand the word "big dog," and he immediately flew into a rage, turning around angrily.
At first, Cú Chulainn didn't recognize Mo Li. But after taking a closer look, his mouth suddenly opened wide and his whole body trembled as a familiar feeling washed over him.
"You...you are..."
