The Rescue (血酒天牢)

Are you determined to go?

Yes.

Even if God himself stands in my way, I'm going.

You sure are committed. What pushes you this much?

I hate it when you beat around the bush.

Loki, are you going to get in my way?

You're the one beating around the bush, Arthur.

Just spit it out.

What are you going to do when you reach the Gate?

Let's head to the Divine Gate!

Some time ago, a gate called the Divine Gate opened, merging the three worlds.

Now, a king is headed toward the place where it all began,

to do what he must do.

There's one thing I want to say to everyone.

I'm headed to the Divine Gate, but I don't care about the world that lies ahead.

My goal is to destroy the Gate completely.

Destroy the Divine Gate?!

What do you mean?

Everything started from that Gate.

The three world merged, bringing chaos to the world,

creating a world that only the rulers understand.

Covering up the dirty secrets of the city,

the peace being maintained is merely an illusion.

That's why I decided to return the world to its true state, from before it changed.

Nontron in position. The Divine Gate will now be opened.

Ready to move on!

Is this...?

Where are we?

A place leading to the Divine Gate. We still have a long way to go.

It was inside the zone?

It's the other way around.

The zone was just a by-product of the research to reach the Divine Gate.

The Gate...

Is it the Divine Gate?

What?!

No, the Divine Gate is further ahead.

Yes, it's many gates ahead.

Get ready!

What?!

Draw!

Autonomous Drivers?! Why?!

Loki, this is something you'd think of.

You didn't think you'd get there so easily either, did you?

Wait!

They're...

This is your fault, Arthur.

The gods watch over the Earth from a high place,

never descending to where the humans are.

And while they test them, they do not help them.

Humans have no choice but to endure it.

Gods? That's what you were talking about?

Norse gods, huh?

Can we beat gods?

Of course not.

But we can buy some time.

Enough time for Daddy to reach the Gate!

I suppose we can do that much.

Gods or not, bring it on!

Go.

I...

I don't have time to listen to things that aren't like you, so just go!

You guys come with me.

Okay...

We're up, too!

Don't get the wrong impression. It wasn't me that brought the Norse gods.

What's going on? Are they seriously gods?

They are the Norse gods.

Why are they here?!

Against gods, even the Knights of Round doesn't...

That's what it means to head for the Divine Gate.

Knowing that, they are still here.

So you're throwing them to the dogs?

Ginji!

Did you think you could get away?

Now!

Stop bullying Daddy!

Gawain!

Palamedes, get over here!

You have to get to the Gate!

Pops!

Looks like it's time to work.

I'm sorry, Daddy. My treasure you gave me broke.

Gawy...

We need to keep moving.

We can't let their efforts go to waste.

The knights were prepared to die.

They were prepared to risk everything

for the time they'd gain in exchange for their lives.

At this rate, it'll only get worse.

Jeez, I won't be satisfied until I land at least one blow.

Incoming!

Didn't think it'd be like this. This sucks, huh?

Hey, wake up. I can't...

This really blows. Go home and make some soup, Grandpa.

Only an old man with his days numbered is entitled to die.

Brace yourself.

You're annoying!

Let go! We'll both...

Take care of our boss.

Breunor!

What pitiful creatures you are.

Even pitiful humans have backbones.

Why are you standing in our way?!

That Gate is not something humans should easily get to.

Besides, it's your friend that told us to protect the Gate!

Why? Why won't they fall back?

Why would they go against gods?!

I never thought it'd end up like this!

That's enough!

Huh? Who are you?!

A king.

Can't the people defeat their king?

Are you making a fool out of me?

If it's the people who rely on their king, then the king relies on God.

And if it's the people who rebel against their king, then the king rebels against God.

I will kill God and become king.

Prove that by becoming the people that kill their king.

I hate people like you.

So, sure, I'll kill you.

Then I promise I won't be killed by anyone else until then.

That's why I can't die until I kill him!

Tris!

The others?

I'm not sure... They're probably...

Please get to the Gate.

I will.

Tris!

Why?! Why sacrifice so much for this?

This is a sin that someone has to bear.

I am the sinner.

Arthur...

You strongly wish to change this world, to go this far.

Let's go... for everyone that entrusted everything in me.

That is what we must do!

Seeing this, they understood the king's commitment,

that he'd push through, even when he was crying inside.

It looks like we're finally ready.

You should save your trump card for last, Arthur.

What's this?!

My body's...

The Divine Gate is past here!

The king moves forward, standing up against the weight pushing him down.

It was the final test for the human to acquire God.

Kay, Gareth...

Percival, Ywain...

Lamorak, Mordred, Bedivere...

Palamedes...

Gawain...

Tristan...

Hey...

Hey, you look pathetic. Are you hurt?

I don't even feel the pain anymore.

Man, to think it's your face I get to see last...

You all did a fine job clearing the king's path.

Now, who's first?!

I'd like to play with you a little more, but our pact ends here.

I see. That means that he's reached the Gate, huh?

We win.

How foolish. That gate is not something to be protected.

You really are clueless.

What?

This is the Divine Gate.

What was that?!

Why is the Replica...?

I'm the only one that should...

...walk the path they opened!

It's no good!

Don't give up!

Dammit.

Hey.

What's all the ruckus?

Did you have fun...

...with the Replica Burst?

Loki.

I never thought you had the Geniuse of Divine working under you.

I didn't think you'd pay such a high price to destroy the Gate.

You were close, but too bad!

You don't have the strength left to wield a sword.

I win.

So for my final proposition, I'll give you two options.

Reach for this sword and become my personal king,

or die here.

Which do you prefer?

Sorry, but I'm not going to be manipulated by you.

Of course. You're not afraid of death. I figured that's what you'd say.

Then I guess I'll replace you with a different king.

I'm not going to be manipulated by you.

He's past this Gate, right?

Yes, but...

He's not the type that'll die easily.

Arthur!

Arthur...

Hey.

You've finally become my Arthur.

Like I said, I hate you.

Lancelot!

What?!

Hey, the Gate's...

Oh no, it's falling apart!

Will you entertain me again?
