The existence of Transcendents, in a certain sense, was actually no secret.

Although everyone maintained a low profile and secrecy, in reality, there were quite a few people in the world who knew about the existence of Transcendents.

Governments and government officials and aristocrats around the world were more or less aware of some facts about the existence of Transcendents, while there were also some related stories that circulated among the general populace.

However, according to the covenant signed by Transcendents from various countries after World War II, Transcendents were forbidden from publicly displaying their Supernatural Powers before ordinary people.

This was partly to conceal the true nature of the existence of Transcendents, to avoid unnecessary social panic and unrest, and partly to maintain the mystique and transcendence of the Transcendents themselves.

After all, for the governments of various countries, although the power of Transcendents had become less and less awe-inspiring with the advancement of technology, the combination of Transcendents and technology still manifested as a sharp and powerful blade.

Under such circumstances, for Transcendents, the best choice to maintain their unique status, and not be treated as dogs by the government, was to preserve their own mystery, rather than letting Transcendents become a group of ordinary people with some special abilities.

So even though many people knew about the existence of Transcendents, in the eyes of ordinary people, Transcendents still did not exist.

This was a lie jointly maintained by all Transcendents and governments of various countries, a silent agreement that everyone adhered to.

But now, Hood, displaying her aura and majesty on the Thames River and flying into the sky, had broken this silent agreement and lie, even without doing anything.

However, at this very moment, the Transcendents belonging to the British Government on Tower Bridge had no way to stop any of this.

The United Kingdom was no longer the British Empire that dominated the world, its glory having faded with time into the sunset of yesteryear, and even the once mighty Transcendent powers that could Seal Demigods and kill indigenous deities during the Victorian Era had declined to a pathetic state where only a few were left to uphold appearances.

It’s not that the Royal Family didn’t hold the last resources guarding the empire, but those, after all, were not something that could be easily used.

While a group of Transcendents was at an impasse, unsure whether to show the last courage of the British Empire and stop the advance of HMS Hood, and then possibly be killed by the woman who clearly exhibited Demigod Strength, several warhorses suddenly charged along the Thames River from the other side of Tower Bridge.

The warhorses trod across the waves, and the people on their backs were dressed in a way that exuded a classic charm, almost like a group of knights who had run out of a pile of papers from the Middle Ages.

Yet, nobody found them laughable, for among these knights, the one leading was a young girl, and she too radiated an aura of Demigod Level that could oppose Hood’s.

Caught between the auras of two Demigod Level beings, the Transcendents affiliated with the British Government felt that today was simply the most tragic day in British history.

Two Demigods in London were at full display of their powers, one even controlling a battleship that seemed to be HMS Hood.

If they were to fight, Buckingham Palace, two kilometers away, would be effortlessly swept away by the aftermath of their battle, as simply as mischievous children destroying a house built of blocks.

In the group of knights charging over, there were actually more than one demigod, for it was none other than Joan of Arc and Artoria Pendragon who had left Avalon and were preparing to go to Japan to find Chen Yu.

Artoria didn’t bring the Knights of the Round Table with her, but still a few knights loyally followed their sovereign, despite the fact that the sovereign didn’t need any protection.

Naturally, Joan of Arc and Gilles de Rais were accompanying Artoria.

They had all agreed to look for Chen Yu together, so they were of course going to leave together.

However, while on their way to the airport, both Artoria and Joan of Arc sensed the aura emanating from Hood, and this worried Artoria, who still cared deeply for the United Kingdom.

Consequently, she summoned her warhorse and charged straight in this direction.

The knights naturally followed their king, and although Joan of Arc and Gilles de Rais felt indifferent towards the British people, they were curious about who would demonstrate such unmasked demigod majesty in the capital of the United Kingdom, so they followed as well.

However, due to her reluctance to aid the British, Joan of Arc merely watched and did not display her own power.

Though Gilles de Rais and the other knights were slightly less powerful, they all possessed legendary-rank strength.

Hence, as they galloped along the Thames River and arrived beneath Tower Bridge, the group did not hesitate to leap onto their mounts and jump onto the surface of Tower Bridge.

The sudden appearance of this group of knights took the transcendent beings of the British Government aback; they wanted to step forward and ask questions but were overwhelmed by the aura radiated by Artoria.

They found it difficult even to stand in front of her, let alone to question her.

Joan of Arc, seeing the embarrassment on the faces of these people, flashed a hint of schadenfreude but said nothing.

Instead, she turned her gaze towards Hood, still hovering in the air, her expression growing grave, as she felt a threat emanating from Hood.

Although Hood was somewhat less powerful than the nearly divine Artoria and Joan of Arc, as a demigod, and as a ship-girl summoned based on the concept of a warship, she concentrated the might of an entire naval vessel into her being, and her soul was forged by the faith of people.

All of Hood’s abilities as a demigod were focused on warfare.

Therefore, in terms of combat power, she was not inferior to Artoria and Joan of Arc.

“I am Artoria Pendragon!

Who are you?” Artoria did not announce her title.

Having resolved to lay down her crown, she no longer called herself a sovereign.

But the name Artoria Pendragon was still well-known throughout the United Kingdom. frёeωebɳovel.com

If a mere mortal claimed this name, it might not invite much speculation, but when a demigod claimed it, it inevitably made people doubt her identity.

Hood was no exception.

After scrutinizing Artoria, she couldn’t help but ask, “The legendary King Arthur?”

“There were those who once called me by that name, but Camelot is no more, and I am no longer the ruler of the Celts.” King Arthur readily admitted her identity, but she kept her eyes firmly on Hood.

“Who are you?

Why have you caused such a commotion in London?”

“I am the flagship of the battlecruiser squadron of the Royal Navy’s Home Fleet, the Admiral-class battlecruiser HMS Hood.” Faced with the interrogation of a demigod, whether she was the mythical King Arthur or not, Hood gave her own name.
