Chapter 1693: Chapter 1153: You Have Already Lost

...

Camelot Royal City, Jade Throne Hall.

The moment the black storm collapsed, everyone who had been sucked into the alternate space here returned.

Reiger appeared for the first time above the throne hall, holding Matthew in one arm and a black blade flickering with dark sparks in the other, and returned to the current world.

"Boom..." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Bloody and ragged, Beryl, who had turned back into human form, fell from the sky like a piece of trash, landing on the ground, dying.

"What, what...?"

"We... have returned?"

"Is it over?"

Altoria, Noconalay, Gareth, Pasival, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Da Vinci, and others appeared one after another in the Jade Throne Hall, some kneeling on one knee gasping heavily, some holding weapons with bodies covered in wounds, and some standing shakily, as if they might collapse at any moment, clearly at the end of their strength.

"Master! Da Vinci dear!"

Seeing this scene, Matthew finally came to her senses, quickly stepping away from Reiger and ran toward the group.

"Matthew...!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka’s worried expression turned into relief upon seeing Matthew safe and sound.

Only heaven knows how concerned Fujimaru Ritsuka was when, upon being swept into the black storm, he realized Matthew had disappeared from his side.

Now, seeing Matthew unharmed, everyone, including Fujimaru Ritsuka, felt relieved.

"Cough cough..."

Altoria coughed a few times, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, unable to hold on any longer, she sat down slowly on the floor using the chosen staff for support.

However, someone at the scene was in a more wretched and miserable state than Altoria.

That person was Morgan.

"Ugh..."

Morgan, who had previously been dominant, overwhelming Altoria and others, now showed a horrifying blood hole in her abdomen, as if it had been pierced through, and blood was oozing from it, staining her clothes a deep red.

Undoubtedly, this was a fatal wound.

Dealt such heavy damage, not even Morgan could remain standing, she directly collapsed onto the ground, barely managed not to fall entirely, using her black spear as support, she sat on the ground.

...

Reiger, dropping from mid-air and seeing this scene, was momentarily stunned before falling into silence.

"Master?" Matthew saw this too and looked startled at Fujimaru Ritsuka she was supporting, saying, "Did you defeat Queen Morgan?"

The answer to this question wasn’t given by Fujimaru Ritsuka, but by the heavily injured Da Vinci nearby.

"No, it wasn’t us who defeated her," Da Vinci said with a complex expression, "The wounds on her were caused by the fairies in the royal city."

It turned out that while Matthew was deliberately taken into the core area of the alternate space by Beryl, and when Reiger broke into the alternate space, Morgan and Altoria along with others did not separate but instead became embroiled in a standoff in that alternate space, starting to battle immediately.

It wasn’t that they wanted to continue fighting under such circumstances, but Morgan who initiated the aggression first.

"Upon realizing she had left the throne hall and there was no throne nearby, Morgan panicked."

Da Vinci’s voice not only reached Matthew’s ears but also Reiger’s.

"She wanted to leave that alternate space and return to the throne hall, but found no way, prompting her to attack the entire alternate space."

In other words, Morgan at that time attempted to break that alternate space through large-scale attacks.

Holding the "Mirrors" magic capable of manipulating time and space, as well as "Gardens" magic similar to alternate spaces, she surely had the confidence to attempt such an act.

However, her violent method that did not take into account others present naturally provoked retaliation.

Alongside Morgan in that alternate space were not only Altoria and others but numerous fairy nobles and officials originally in the royal city.

To protect themselves, Altoria and others had to desperately resist Morgan’s attacks, weakening Morgan’s magic, affecting her magic, ultimately failing to break the alternate space.

Especially Altoria, with Matthew absent, only she could protect everyone, thus she released her magic power at full force, exerting enchantment to the utmost, protecting every individual.

As fellow Paradise Fairies possessing enchantment abilities, Altoria’s magic power seemed to have a greater impact on Morgan than imagined, delaying Morgan’s precise actions to destroy the alternate space.

Morgan, desperate to return to the throne hall and reclaim the throne, displayed the first noticeable emotional disturbance, repeatedly launching large-scale attacks intending to obliterate everyone and destroy the alternate space, returning to the current world.

This act angered not others but those fairies sent into the same alternate space, ignored yet treated as nuisances by Morgan, facing mass extermination through her large-scale attacks.

"You witch... You’re entirely unqualified to be queen!"

"Die, witch!"

"Hateful witch!"

"Disgusting foreign species!"

"Die!"

Long accumulated dissatisfaction and hatred erupted, fairies once again showed their ugly side, launching a sneak attack against Morgan.

History astonishingly repeated itself.

Morgan, eager to return to the throne hall and overly consumed her magic power, focused entirely on Altoria, ultimately was heavily damaged amidst the fairies’ attack.

Like the original story, Morgan, who always claimed she wouldn’t save fairies but watch them perish, faced retaliation.

Unlike the original where Morgan, due to lack of power to resist, was beaten to death by fairies, the current Morgan, despite significant consumption and heavy injury, still had the power to retaliate.

Thus, before returning to the current world, Morgan used the black spear in her hand to pierce through nearly a hundred fairy bodies, sending them all to hell.

"This..."

Knowing the entire course of events, Matthew was rendered speechless.

Everyone was staring at Morgan, with complex emotions in their eyes.

Morgan ignored them, using the black spear to support herself, clutching her blood-soaked abdomen, she staggered towards the throne.

"I... cannot leave the throne..."

The driving force allowing Morgan to persist was merely this thought.

She knew very well what would happen once she left the throne.

That was the last thing she wanted to see.

She had to return to the throne.

"That’s why you were plotted against."

A detached voice reached Morgan’s ears.

"Knowing your obsession with Britannia, your attachment to the throne, Vortigern planned all of this."

"You’ve long fallen into his script."

"From the beginning of this war until now, your every response has matched his predictions perfectly."

Perhaps that was why he let Beryl cause chaos here instead of targeting Morgan but aimed for Matthew?

As long as Beryl sent Morgan and others into the same alternate space, his conspiracy succeeded.

He knew that once away from the throne, Morgan would panic and desperately try to escape.

He knew that Morgan’s subsequent actions would unquestionably infuriate those fairies, turning them into her death sentence.

No one understood the fairies’ ugliness and evil more than he did.

The outcome inevitably became this.

"Enough."

Seeing Morgan persist in moving towards the throne, Reiger couldn’t bear to watch anymore.

"You’ve lost, Morgan."

Reiger appeared by Morgan’s side, grabbing her, preventing her further movement.

...

Morgan didn’t turn around, straining to reach her blood-stained hand towards the throne.

Soon, that hand drooped downward...
