Boom!
In the silent forest of Einzbern, Iskandar's body plumted from the sky, slamming into the ground and raising a cloud of dust.
Zuke stood comfortably on the ground, a satisfied expression on his face as he gazed at Iskandar.
He had never exerted himself so fully to release his "ki" before. With his synchronized battle power of 3,000, its destructive force was formidable in any world.
Think about it—Nappa's battle power wasn't much higher than his, yet a re wave of his hand could unleash enough destructive ki to obliterate an entire city, with the light from the explosion visible from space.
If Zuke were to release all his ki at full force, the Earth's surface would likely suffer catastrophic damage.
This ti, Iskandar's "Ionioi Hetairoi", functioning as a Reality Marble, provided an ideal space for Zuke to unleash his Kahaha.
Although the Kahaha shattered the Reality Marble upon impact, it gave Zuke a rare opportunity to go all out.
"Rider!"
Still perched on the Gordious Wheel Waver cried out in alarm as Zuke and Iskandar suddenly vanished and then reappeared. He hurriedly ran over.
Clad in Iskandar's crimson cloak, Waver reached Iskandar's side, clutching his hand with an anxious expression.
Iskandar's injuries were not too severe; most of the damage ca from the residual ki released when the Kahaha detonated, leaving nurous slashing wounds across his body.
If Zuke hadn't suspended him in the air with the Chains of Heaven, that Kahaha would have likely disintegrated him completely.
"Rider, I'll heal you right away!"
Waver prepared to use healing magic on Iskandar, but before he could begin, Iskandar stopped him.
"No need, little Master... I lost, and without a shred of suspense."
Iskandar wore a complicated expression. He had envisioned many outcos but never anticipated witnessing a scene so apocalyptic.
During his short ti in this world, he had seen many military weapons on the invention known as "television." One weapon, in particular, had left a deep impression on him: the "nuclear bomb."
Zuke's Kahaha likely far surpassed the destructive power of a nuclear bomb. Were it not unleashed within the confines of a Reality Marble, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Although I lost, it broadened my horizons. Ha! It was worth it!"
Soon enough, the Conqueror King laughed heartily, sitting up with difficulty and looking at Zuke.
"Zuke, if you wanted to, you could have wiped out my army and from the start. You must have had another reason for sparing until now."
"You could say that. I need to borrow your body," Zuke admitted without hesitation.
"I see... I understand. As the defeated, it is only right for to comply with your demands."
As a Conqueror King who had subjugated many nations, Iskandar accepted his position as the conquered with a calm smile.
"Is it over?"
A few minutes later, Waver erged from the nearby woods.
The sight of Iskandar being consud was too much for him, so Zuke had temporarily sent him away.
After all, Zuke hoped Waver would later beco a lecturer at the Clock Tower and support Matou Sakura, ensuring she wouldn't be bullied there. Naturally, he treated Waver with extra care.
"Yes, it's over," Zuke nodded. Earlier, the Black Bird had consud Iskandar without causing him any pain, swallowing him whole.
Zuke now possessed Iskandar's abilities. He could even summon the Divine Bulls and the Gordious Wheel, though they weren't as fast as his own legs.
The most notable acquisition was the "Ionioi Hetairoi". As expected, he couldn't summon Iskandar's army through it.
Unlike "Gate of Babylon", which stored nurous treasures, the "Ionioi Hetairoi" required Zuke to supply the troops himself.
As a Reality Marble manifesting personal ideals, the soldiers Zuke summoned through the "Ionioi Hetairoi" could only be warriors he rembered vividly.
After consuming Iskandar, Zuke tested this imdiately and found that the only summonable warrior was Nail. So far, Nail was the only fighter who had left a lasting impression on him.
Zuke had also attempted to summon characters from Dragon Ball based on his mories of the series, hoping for figures like Beerus, Whis, or even Zeno. If successful, Frieza would be no problem.
Unfortunately, the attempt failed. It seed the summoned warriors had to be individuals Zuke had t and even fought in person.
"What will you do next?"
Zuke turned to Waver. With the Holy Grail War concluded, Waver couldn't stay in Fuyuki City.
"Next... I suppose I'll return to the Clock Tower."
Waver looked resigned.
"Actually, I had thought if Professor Kayneth participated in the Holy Grail War, I might travel the world first, then return to the Clock Tower after he cald down."
"Kayneth did participate. He was Lancer's Master."
Zuke realized Waver didn't know Kayneth had co to Fuyuki City—an omission due to the absence of Lancer's earlier provocations in this tiline.
"I killed him. When you return to the Clock Tower, you'd best prepare to explain Kayneth's death."
Both Kayneth and Waver had participated in the Holy Grail War, but only Waver survived. Naturally, the Clock Tower would question him.
"What?! Professor Kayneth was really here? And he's dead?!"
Waver's reaction was imdiate. He jumped up in panic. He had assud Kayneth hadn't co, aning the professor's anger might not have been that severe. A simple apology might suffice.
But now, knowing Kayneth had co and died in Fuyuki City, Waver realized his situation had beco far more precarious.
As Zuke watched Waver fret, a voice suddenly echoed in his ears.
It was Tohsaka Rin, using her Master's communication ability to call out to Zuke in alarm:
"Berserker! Sothing's wrong! Irisviel... her body is suddenly changing!"
