Zhang Yi and Yang Xinxin speculate about the nature of supernatural powers and the potential for humans to harness life energy through mass slaughter. They prepare to interrogate Babu, a captured Round Table Knight, to gather intelligence on Britannia. Using Yang Xinxin's abilities, they extract information from Babu about the Nakar Stone Tablet and the "Day of the Fall."

Babu was no scholar, and all the intelligence he had came from fragments of information gathered from others.

But even these fragments were enough to spark infinite imagination in Zhang Yi.

"The power of a nation is truly formidable! Even though I'm now a Black Chariot-tier Transcendent, I'm still far behind them in this regard."

Zhang Yi let out such a sigh.

Unfortunately, the Shengjing district wasn't likely to open up this intelligence to him anytime soon.

However, Yang Xinxin said to Zhang Yi, "In this field, Huaxu Nation should be far behind Britannia. After all, many ancient artifacts and documents have already been lost. Quite a few are even preserved in the Britannian Museum."

Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow and sneered at Babu, "Looks like if I get the chance, I might take a trip to Britannia and take back what belongs to us!"

Babu continued to obediently answer Yang Xinxin's questions.

Britannia's national power could not be underestimated. Though its land area wasn't large, its foundation ran incredibly deep.

Because they had prepared relatively well, their losses after the apocalypse remained within an acceptable range. The dead were mostly the commoners that their upper class had intended to eliminate anyway.

As for their stockpile of Love of Death, they weren't even weaker than Huaxu Nation.

This old world power now had the strength to stand tall in the world. Even if it couldn't match Huaxu Nation, it could still rank among the top few.

"So, what about the Round Table Knights? The Deputy Commander is Lancelot. Now, give up all the information on the other members of your team!"

Babu began introducing the information on the other members of the Round Table.

The Round Table Knights had a total of thirteen members.

Only six had come to the Snowy Highland this time. Besides them, there were seven others:

The Captain, **King Arthur**, Arthur Pendragon;

**【Sacred Knight】** Percival;

**【Steel Knight】** Kay;

**【Sun Knight】** Gawain;

**【Mourning Knight】** Tristan;

**【Violet Silver Knight】** Bedivere;

**【Loyalty Knight】** Gaheris.

Additionally, the kingdom had a powerful existence who wasn't affiliated with the Knights, with a status second only to King Arthur.

**【Court Magician】** Merlin.

These individuals, along with the six in the Southwest Region, were the most powerful Transcendents in Britannia today!

Zhang Yi asked seriously, "And what are their strengths like?"

Babu replied, "As for the upper six knights, excluding the Deputy Commander Lancelot, their overall strength is greater than ours."

"As for Merlin, his strength surpasses even Lancelot's. I've only heard rumors about this, because a few months ago, Lancelot challenged Merlin and ended up losing."

Zhang Yi noticed that Babu hadn't mentioned anything about King Arthur, and his brow furrowed.

"So, what about your King? What level is his strength at?"

A look of reverence appeared on Babu's face.

"The King's strength has already reached a level I can't even imagine!"

The captain, **King Arthur**, Arthur Pendragon;

"Once, during an operation, Lancelot wanted to spar swordsmanship with the King. As a result, the King defeated Lancelot with just a single strike!"

Zhang Yi's gaze grew deep.

The strongest in Britannia, backed by all the resources of a powerful kingdom, was definitely terrifying.

Back then, Lancelot hadn't yet obtained the Essence of Enkidu, and King Arthur could defeat him with one sword strike. Setting aside attribute suppression, his ability index would need to be at least 25,000 points to accomplish that.

Just as Zhang Yi was pondering how to deal with King Arthur if they ever met, Babu's next words stunned him.

"King Arthur is the pride of our Levantine family! He is the brother I am most proud of!"

Babu's expression was especially excited; mentioning King Arthur's name was like a pilgrimage.

Zhang Yi's head shot up as he looked at him. "Oh? You're King Arthur's brother?"

The twelve Round Table Knights, including King Arthur and Merlin, weren't actually born with those names.

They were all named after legendary figures, much like Zhang Yi's codename **Chaos**.

Babu nodded, explaining that he and King Arthur both came from the Levantine family.

"No wonder, no wonder!"

Zhang Yi recalled the strange look in Lancelot's eyes when he insisted on taking Babu away, and he instantly understood what that meant at the time.

Zhou Ke'er gently asked, "Since his brother is the strongest in Britannia, should we send him back? After all, provoking someone like that could cause a lot of trouble later."

Given Zhang Yi's past personality, he wouldn't easily provoke someone he wasn't sure he could handle.

But this time, Zhang Yi didn't hesitate for a moment before shaking his head.

"No, I'm not sending this guy back."

Zhou Ke'er looked at Zhang Yi with some surprise.

Zhang Yi's gaze was calm as he looked at Babu. "This time, it's the Britannian guys who ran onto Huaxu Nation's turf! If I send him back, I'd be losing not just my own face, but the face of our ancestors too."

Babu looked at Zhang Yi with a pitiful expression.

Zhou Ke'er and Yang Xinxin both nodded in agreement.

Some things couldn't be compromised on. That was a basic principle.

The last question was about what secret realms Britannia had discovered.

On the other side of the planet, Zhang Yi had no idea what was happening in Europe.

Babu replied, "We discovered the ruins of Atlantis, and the King personally led the team to investigate the corpse cave of Notre Dame de Paris."

"And the result?"

Babu sighed. "Humanity's current strength is still too insignificant when facing those unknown existences."

He further admitted that the Nash Kingdom beneath the Southwest Region was the weakest underground civilization he had ever encountered. Even with a terrifying existence like Prince Anrit, they could still see a sliver of hope for victory.

But the previous two times, even including King Arthur, they had almost perished within.

That feeling of helpless despair was something he never wanted to experience a second time in his life.

However, those two near-death experiences also earned them generous rewards, including God Essence.

"God Essence... the underground civilizations don't seem to care much about this stuff. The Nash Kingdom even used it as decoration. They couldn't possibly be unaware of the special power it contains. Is there a reason for that?"

Zhang Yi murmured curiously.

There was no more useful intelligence to squeeze out of Babu's mouth.

Zhang Yi waved his hand at Zhou Ke'er. "Perform the surgery on him! I only need a human-shaped sword."

Zhou Ke'er smiled and nodded.

"I promise to keep him alive with normal physiological functions, aside from losing his self-awareness. I can even let him keep improving his ability level like before. That way, your weapon can keep getting stronger too."
