Random Dude: Oh.

------------------

Arthur's POV.

Then we returned to the Yujing Terrace and it seems like they're about to take the corpse of Rex Lapis.

Arthur: We're back.

Ningguang: Oh, it seems you're back. Did you caught the assassin?

Elaina: He escaped but he said he'll return for Arthur.

Artoria: That harbinger is sure hungry for battle.

Ningguang: A what!? A Fatui Harbinger!?

Arthur: Yeah.

Ningguang: So that's why, a Harbinger.

Arthur: Let's not worry about that now, we need to give a proper send off to Rex Lapis.

Ningguang: The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor are already taking care of the preparations for the Rite of Parting. While we, the Liyue Qixing will seize the Exuvia.

Elaina: The Rite of Parting?

Ningguang: When an adeptus die, we will of course give them a grand funeral and burial. But this time it's different, it's Rex Lapis, the Prime of the Adepti. We know that this day would come but we didn't expect that it would go this way.

Arthur: Burying a god..............

Elaina: Is something the matter Arthur?

Arthur: If I'm not mistaken, the goal of the Tsaritsa is to collect the power of the other Archons? Why kill a god? If a god is dead, then no one wouldn't be able to get it's powers.

Artoria: Collect the power of the gods?So this is what Merlin discovered years ago!

Elaina: What is it?

Artoria: The Seven Archons possess something that is the definition of their godhood. It's like a vision but this one is what the god's use to resonate with Celestia and their godly powers.

Arthur: Resonate their powers to Celestia?

Elaina: I heard a story that Celestia is the home of the gods or let's say former home of the gods.

Artoria: Oh yeah that's right, Celestia was destroyed years even before the Archon War and the Foundation of the Kingdom of Camelot.

Arthur: That is because, Camelot is founded from the ruins of Celestia itself. That is what mother used to tell us in bed time stories.

Elaina: Wait, so Camelot was once that floating island above the sky!? The one they talked about in the legends!?

Arthur: Yes, that is why no wonder why the Tsaritsa wanted to declare an all out war to Camelot, that is because Camelot still radiates with the divine magic of Celestia.
