Chapter 361: Lamentation for the King of Horizon!
The fall of Oracle King's Excalibur into the hands of the soul realm of Britain was a grave issue, with far-reaching consequences.
First, Excalibur was an immensely valuable artifact. More importantly, the loss of such a treasure signified a profound crisis for Oracle King, hinting at the severity of the battle he faced beneath the sea. There was a ninety percent chance that Oracle King had perished. Even if he had somehow survived, he would likely have been left disabled.
The top leader of the US solemnly declared that Excalibur belonged to King of Horizon and the United States, and no foreign nation had the right to lay claim to it. He demanded that the soul realm of Britain return the sword.
However, the senior leaders of Britain responded with defiance, claiming that this was a matter for the martial world, not the mortal realm, and that they had no authority to force the soul realm of Britain to relinquish Excalibur.
In other words, Britain refused to return it. If the US wanted it back, they would have to engage in battle for it, themselves.
Furious, the US leader convened an urgent high-level meeting aboard an aircraft carrier to devise a solution. The foreign affairs department also worked tirelessly, applying diplomatic pressure on Britain. If Oracle King was truly dead, then Excalibur, along with the dragon head mask, would be his relics. The mask had been secured, but Excalibur...
They couldn't allow it to fall into the hands of another nation. The guardian saint of the United States couldn't die without receiving justice!
In response to the growing tension, the thirty-six guardians of Oracle Palace stood united, swearing to retrieve Excalibur.
Just as war seemed imminent, the guardians received a top-secret message that shook them to the core. Upon reading it, the thirty-six powerful men burst into tears.
