Galahad came from a world with the legendary mage Merlin. The power ceiling in that world is very high. Ethan has not even touched the ceiling of that world yet.

But this does not mean it is a world where demigods are as common as dogs and true gods walk everywhere.

In reality, the general strength level of that world is not very high. Many of the Knights of the Round Table are just ordinary humans who have undergone rigorous training.

A few people have special talents, such as being able to train magic power and use this mystical force to increase their strength, gaining combat power beyond ordinary people.

Or through some fortunate encounter, they gain special abilities or blessings. Gawain possesses strength far beyond human limits when bathed in sunlight.

Although Galahad is known as the purest of the Knights of the Round Table, his combat strength is only considered upper-tier among them. He is just a trained human knight. What is more, the current Galahad is still very young, far from reaching his peak.

So it is completely normal that he could not beat Selene.

How could an ordinary person, even one with great fame, possibly defeat a vampire who has lived for over six hundred years, possesses extensive combat experience, and is proficient in almost all types of weapons, both melee and ranged?

Furthermore, after Selene left the Underworld world with Ethan, she not only gained more new knowledge and learned to utilize Holy Light and Shadow, but she also used enhancement potions to further strengthen her already far-beyond-ordinary physical abilities.

With strength, speed, and experience all on her side, the fact that Galahad was not instantly killed was due to Selene showing him some consideration.

As for Mordred...

The Mordred before him was different from any Mordred Ethan knew. This was a completely new Mordred from a new timeline, appearing due to his influence.

A crazy girl who possessed an extremely powerful magic talent, joined the Knights of the Round Table at a very young age, and had already been baptized by the fires of war.

But no matter how strong her talent, she had not truly converted it into strength yet. In fact, because her talent was so good, she had somewhat neglected basic training. Before, she relied on magic power to bully ordinary human knights and soldiers. Facing Ethan's companions, her talent was not enough.

"Who did this?"

Ethan also walked over and stood beside the two men, Logan and O'Connell.

Logan always had a cigar in his mouth, and for this reason, he usually found a relatively secluded corner to stand by himself, as not everyone liked the smell of smoke.

O'Connell, however, did not mind this, so after joining Ethan's team, O'Connell became quite close with Logan, often smoking, drinking, and talking about things from the battlefield together. The most update n0vels are published on NoᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt

However, Logan had not lit his cigar at the moment. He usually controlled his craving in crowded environments. Hearing Ethan's question, he simply nodded his head towards O'Connell beside him.

"Oh?" Ethan glanced at O'Connell beside him, genuinely surprised. "You have improved very quickly."

As the latest addition and an ordinary person with no special talents, O'Connell had always kept a low profile in the team. Even in the Mummy world, he did not appear as prominent or outstanding as in the original plot. He was just like a regular guide, leading Ethan and the others to Hamunaptra, and then did not do anything special to highlight his presence.

Although he was a soldier who had been on the battlefield, he was ultimately just an ordinary person. His physical fitness was merely decent, and his combat skills were rough. Even if his relationship with Logan was good enough for Logan to mentor him, he could not significantly increase his strength in a short period.

Few of the potions Ethan created directly boosted someone's strength significantly. They primarily enhanced the user's potential, requiring the user to realize the potion's effects through training. This made it impossible for O'Connell to achieve a massive increase in strength in a short time.

At the same time, Logan, Selene, and others were constantly improving their strength. Their foundations were much better to begin with, and after multiple enhancements, the gap between them and ordinary people widened even further.

Therefore, although O'Connell trained diligently, he could still only do odd jobs on the ship, and it was impossible to assign him any relatively dangerous missions.

It now seemed that O'Connell had not chosen to just coast along because he was not highly regarded in the team. Instead, he quietly and diligently worked on improving himself. This man still had some aspirations.

Ethan liked people with aspirations who were willing to work hard. O'Connell's performance like this could definitely earn him more and better resources.

"It seems you have fully activated the potion's effects. Has your strength and speed increase slowed down recently?"

"Yes."

There were only so many people on the ship, and everyone basically knew the specifics of the potions. People like Logan and Selene were not stingy with sharing their experience, so O'Connell knew this meant his enhancement was complete. To continue improving his strength afterward, he would either need to get a set of powerful equipment to arm himself or diligently practice and master some special ability or simply improve his physical fitness.

As of now, no one on the Prinz Eugen was solely focused on improving physical fitness. Even Logan had abilities and had learned some Druidic knowledge, allowing him to use some Druid spells.

By all accounts, the best option was to learn how to use some kind of energy. O'Connell was currently thinking about what he should learn.

It was precisely while he was discussing these things with Logan and Selene that the passing Mordred overheard them. The crazy girl, with a loose tongue, said some things that led to the subsequent competition.

It turned out that after spending two days on the ship, Mordred gradually realized how unlucky she had been that day, having coincidentally picked the strongest being on the ship and Logan, who had incredibly powerful regeneration and was practically unkillable.

If she had chosen a little more accurately that day, she would not have lost face so badly in front of many colleagues.

Out of a desire to regain face and also to ensure these people did not underestimate her too much, Mordred decided to have a manly showdown with O'Connell: no weapons, just a test of fists and feet.

Then, O'Connell, who had not mastered any special energy, relying on pure physical strength and the combat techniques he learned from Logan, gave the magic-wielding Mordred a good beating, severely damaging Mordred's confidence.

As for the match between Selene and Galahad, it was purely a spar. Galahad also wanted to know how big the gap was between his strength and that of the people on this ship. The result was that he found the gap was even larger than he had imagined.

Unlike Mordred, in these few days, he had gotten a pretty good grasp of the situation with everyone on the ship. Because the people on board did not deliberately avoid him, Galahad could easily ask about things he wanted to know.

Diana was the strongest being on this ship. The only one capable of contending with her was the captain, Ethan.

However, considering their current relationship, it seemed Ethan could only be handled by Diana.

Galahad already knew that Diana was actually the daughter of Zeus, the King of the Olympian Gods, a genuine deity. Besides her formidable combat strength, she also possessed a large number of divine artifacts.

These were beings on completely different levels. Galahad could only look up to her and could not even entertain the thought of comparing himself.

However, Diana had her own responsibilities and would not permanently reside on the ship, at most staying for a while occasionally. Therefore, she could not be considered a regular combatant of this team.

Under normal circumstances, the ship's top combatant was their captain, Ethan.

Ethan was a mage. Galahad had known this for a long time.

What surprised him, however, was that Ethan's close combat strength was equally formidable. He learned this from Logan.

Because in his early years, Ethan did not master many spells (he could only create water), and living in this dangerous world while venturing to multiple dimensions, he had to possess sufficient self-preservation abilities.

So, in his early years, Ethan systematically studied various weapons including long and short swords, daggers, greatswords, short staffs, long staffs, and unarmed combat, and had extensive experience in close-quarters fighting.

According to the information Galahad gathered from everyone, their mage captain, even without using magic, could fight against a fully exerting Diana for a while, in a balanced match with mutual offense and defense, not just being unilaterally beaten.

Galahad did not believe it at first, because how could a human possibly contend with the power of a god? Even if Ethan was a powerful mage.

Only upon asking further did he learn that their captain had long since transcended the human level and was, strictly speaking, now also a demigod.

This sounded much more reasonable.

A demigod captain. Galahad suddenly felt incredibly fortunate to have been chosen by His Majesty the King to accompany Mordred to this ship.

After Ethan, the strongest in terms of combat power was the First Mate, Logan.

This burly man, who held the title of First Mate but actually did not manage anything, possessed extremely powerful regeneration, a nearly immortal body, and could extend indestructible metal claws from his hands.

Galahad only learned after asking that Logan's entire skeleton was made of this special metal called Adamantium.

Incredibly hard and nearly indestructible, combined with terrifying regeneration, Logan was simply an unkillable being.

Just hearing about these abilities, Galahad listed Logan as the person he least wanted to make an enemy of. Such an enemy was truly a headache.

Furthermore, Logan had also learned Druidic spells and could generate high temperatures himself, though he seemed to use this ability more for lighting his cigars. He did not know what effect it would have in combat.

In addition, Logan was a veteran who had participated in countless wars, possessing rich combat experience and fighting techniques.

O'Connell, who had soundly beaten Mordred, was trained by Logan.

So Galahad initially wanted to spar with Logan, but unfortunately, Logan had no interest in it and instead threw him to Selene.

This is what led to the scene Ethan witnessed.
