No, because once you have exited at Kings Cross you will have reached "London Terminals". As your ticket will not have the Maltese Cross it won't work the gates on the Underground.
On the other hand if the previous poster changes trains at Stevenage and Finsbury Park to reach Moorgate, and has the appropriate London Terminals ticket valid at Moorgate, can they exit at Liverpool Street, having walked through the Elizabeth Line station?

Isn't there interavailability for London terminals tickets at Kings Cross, Finsbury Park, Highbury & Islington, Old Street and Moorgate, but not at intermediate underground stations?

Certainly at Moorgate, i use it regularly from Kings Cross using the Circle line. This is my point; i can travel to Moorgate so can i then exit at Liverpool Street after walking through the Elizabeth line tunnel?

Provided the ticket isn't TOC-restricted or specifically issued to Kings Cross, it's still valid beyond Kings Cross, because of the Underground interavailability between Kings Cross and Old Street / Moorgate (though not intermediately).

Therefore @greyman42 is perfectly entitled to exit at Kings Cross and use the Underground to Moorgate (even if their ticket might not automatically work the barriers).

The question is whether they are entitled to walk to Liverpool Street and exit there, and I cannot see any legal grounds for saying that this is not permitted; the Routeing Guide etc. limit the trains you can take, not the station entrances or exits you can use.

This answer is wrong if the ticket is issued to London Terminals. Tickets from York to London Terminals have validity between Finsbury Park and London Terminals, which additionally allow travelling on the interavailable tube route between King's Cross and Moorgate, just like a ticket from Welwyn Garden City.

For specific London Terminals tickets from the East Coast main line.

How does that work south of the Thames when you can travel through numerous 'London Terminals' on a London Terminals ticket?

You can continue to travel as long as you travel only to another London Terminal.
