No matter what the Celtic Pantheon had intended to do, no matter what they had sealed within the name of Morgan le Fay, as Chen Yu called out her true name, all the bindings were undone.

The so-called return of the age of gods, the reappearance of King Arthur in the world, the unstoppable catastrophe—all descended after Chen Yu called out her true name.

It was just that, compared to Chen Yu's expectation of heaven collapsing, stars falling, and gods descending... the commotion was rather small.

The land that bore the city indeed cracked open, floodwaters gushed forth from the crevices, quickly submerging the city, the populace who could not escape in time were swept away by the raging currents, houses were destroyed, countless people were displaced... It was undoubtedly a huge disaster. But compared to the descent of gods Chen Yu envisioned, the shattering of this space affecting the real world, and the return of the age of gods as spoken by Morgan le Fay, a flood that destroyed a city really wasn't much.

However, she wasn't entirely lying. As her name was spoken, the Seal was broken, and King Arthur did reappear—only the manner of reappearance was quite surprising.

As the floodwaters rose, the London within this space was swiftly destroyed, mountains rose, and the earth collapsed. Amidst the wailing of countless people and the burning and crumbling of the entire city, the whole space turned into a vast lake, and in the center, where The City of London once stood, there appeared an island.

On this island, a deserted city lay in ruins—Avalon, the legendary utopia, the final resting place of King Arthur, was finally exposed to the light of day after Chen Yu broke the Seal.

Yet now, all that was left of this ideal realm from Celtic mythology was nothing but a pile of broken walls.

And King Arthur, the legendary figure slumbering here, sat on a high-backed stone chair amidst these ruins, one hand propping his head, his delicate eyes tightly shut, a hint of relief on his handsome face, as if after a day's toil, he could finally rest.

A sky-blue cloak with white fluffy trim, which looked very warm, covered the sovereign, and a long sword leaned against the side of the throne.

Hundreds of knights knelt before the throne. Although their bodies were decaying, they were still loyally awaiting their queen, waiting for her to awaken, to return, to lead them into battle once more, to new victories and glories.

Unfortunately, the queen was sealed.

Together with her knights, they were sealed within this shattered utopia, along with the remnants of the once-existing kingdom.

And now, the Seal was undone, and the queen was about to awaken.

"Damn it, are they trying to destroy the whole of London?" Professor Moriarty's expression was not pleasant aboard Lord Nelson's flagship.

Sherlock Holmes, too, furrowed his brows at this moment, his stern gaze like that of a hawk, beholding the mountains rising from within The City of London and the shattered city atop them, and spoke with a grave voice, "With the city looking like this, it can be said that London has already been destroyed."

Having spoken, Sherlock Holmes shook his head and turned towards Lord Nelson, who had an equally grim expression, and asked, "My Lord, please dispatch the Royal Navy to rescue the surviving citizens of London."

"Rest assured, the Royal Navy has already been deployed, rescuing the citizens of London is our duty," Lord Nelson replied to Sherlock Holmes's request, but his eyes were filled with worry, "However, more crucial than rescuing the people, is discovering what caused all this, for we must prevent the situation from deteriorating further."

Surrounding HMS Victory, Royal Navy ships had already set out in full force, using small boats to continuously rescue the citizens of London from the water.

HMS Victory itself, following a broken river course, headed towards the rising mountains.

"Is this the result of the battle between the demigod and Bloody Mary?" Professor Moriarty also approached Lord Nelson, watching the mountains before them along with the others.

Sherlock Holmes shook his head; despite the scant clues, he still felt that this was not caused by a battle: "No, my friend. This disaster was not caused by battle but from something originally sealed beneath The City of London that has been released," he said.

"A seal? What kind of thing would be sealed beneath The City of London? Mr. Holmes, do you know what this mountain range actually is?" Lord Nelson asked as he looked at the immense mountains and the remnants of a city within them, unable to fathom why the ruins seemed to hold some awe-inspiring presence that made him feel an urge to kneel.

Sherlock Holmes shook his head; the relics before him were in ruins, yet still imposing, and possessed an enticing and comforting Magic Power, making it clear to him it was no ordinary relic, but without enough information, even he, Holmes, couldn't speculate about the true nature of this place.

However, considering the situation before him, he still surmised quite a bit of information: "I fear this is the true appearance of this place, only it had been sealed. When The City of London came to be, it was built over the seal, so when the seal was broken, The City of London was destroyed," he speculated.

"If it's so, then there's only one way for us to find out the answer," Professor Moriarty said, agreeing with Sherlock Holmes's statement after some analysis.

Sherlock Holmes smiled in relief and gave a slight nod to Professor Moriarty, then took out his beloved pipe, lit it, and drew a puff, "To know the answer, indeed there is only one method."

Lord Nelson naturally knew what method Professor Moriarty was referring to, and after nodding in agreement, he instructed his adjutant, "Have The Sovereign take over as flagship, HMS Victory will go to Hampton Court to join the battle. Raise the signal, England expects that every man will do his duty."

That famous signal rose on the mast of HMS Victory, and every Royal Navy warship that saw the signal raised the same.

After witnessing another warship raise the flag indicating it was now the flagship, Lord Nelson ordered HMS Victory to the location where Hampton Court once stood, knowing that that was the origin of the chaos.

But when they sailed through the ruins of The City of London and arrived at the site of Hampton Court, what they saw left them dumbstruck.

Queen Mary and Chen Yu, husband and wife, remained in a standoff, and apart from them, a Knighthood led by a girl wearing a crown and clad in armor also occupied a corner of the battlefield.
