Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

"I met a great opponent in my previous life, and although I was defeated by him, I was satisfied! Now that I'm living again, I only want to challenge someone even stronger!"

Alright, another character with a satisfying combat style! Even more purely satisfying combat style than Sukuna!

"That formidable opponent... is it Thor?" Waver, rubbing his throbbing head, shakily raised his hand.

"Ah, that's the name. He swung the hammer really hard. I deserved my defeat!"

This candid answer left everyone present speechless—Lu Bu directly challenging Thor felt strangely out of place, but if it were true, then he might truly be a Servant comparable to a 'god'.

"Kiritsugu, what should we do? Should we try to set up a plan to assassinate the enemy Master?"

Hisayuu Maiya's voice came through the communicator, while Emiya Kiritsugu shook his head after a moment of silence and said softly.

"The opponent's Master is most likely Caster, who is also a Servant from another world. Our methods are ineffective against him. Let's abandon this dangerous target."

The Magician Killer wanted to stay calm, but what happened tonight left him no room for composure.

Such a flaw and change has occurred in the Holy Grail War, which was originally going to be a great success. It can be said that the rules have been completely changed!

All previous preparations are likely to be in vain. If we are rational, the best option is to retreat from Fuyuki City immediately.

Kiritsugu remained silent. Did he not also want to withdraw? At this moment, he truly had such thoughts, but before that…

Where did Alice and the others go?!

Could it be that we were attacked by so-called 'otherworldly servants' halfway through?

"Logically speaking, I should eliminate an enemy like you, but—what do I care about the life and death of Alaya and Gaia?"

Looking at Lü Bu, who was brimming with fighting spirit, Tsurugi laughed.

"I wish to satisfy your thirst for battle, but unfortunately, fighting to the death here is not my goal. How about three moves? We'll each make three moves, and if we're still alive, we'll leave."

"Tsk, not bad!"

Lu Bu agreed very readily, and he didn't care about anything else, he just wanted to enjoy the thrill of battle!

At that moment, the streets in the distance were already a sea of ​​red and blue police lights.

It's clear that the Fuyuki City Police Department, having received the report, has already dispatched officers.

They should leave, for worldly people are about to arrive, and the principle of concealing the mysterious dictates that they should avoid them.

who cares?

At this moment, Tsurugi only wanted to satisfy the person in front of her who was eager to fight, and also to satisfy her own fighting spirit.

He had already experienced the joy of battle in his own struggles. The feeling of teetering between life and death, struggling in danger, and fighting with all one's might in silent defiance—this was a completely different kind of pleasure from simply slaughtering bastards.

Moreover, he also needs to demonstrate sufficient power in order to establish his status as a arbiter.

The most important thing about a referee is not fairness, but power. Only someone capable of killing either side is qualified to be a referee!

At this moment, the Holy Church should have come to warn them to leave, but the Kotomine father and son dared not utter a word.

Who would dare to speak arrogantly before such a sacred being? Facing an existence that is even older than the entire history of the Church.

"Let's begin." Tsurugi looked at Lü Bu, grinning maliciously, and then activated his destructive power.

Steel, eternal and immortal!

In the void, a colossal steel giant nearly a hundred meters tall slowly emerged; it was the mobile suit that Tsugumi had slaughtered and forged in the Gundam world.

The souls of hundreds of millions of the dead died in his hands. Even though it was nothing more than a fragile Zaku, it was covered and forged into an incomparably strong spiritual metal!

Countless wailing souls roared and surged onto the iron giant's warhammer, its eerie green light making it shine like a lighthouse in the night!

Is this a saint?!

Countless people stared at the colossal giant, haunted by countless terrifying and vengeful spirits, their heads filled with questions.

"Punishment is the will, slaughter is the will, destruction is the will; heaven and hell are one!"

A clear, ethereal sound echoed from within the armor, reverberating across the battlefield. Facing Lü Bu, Dongjiang raised his warhammer.

"But all this nonsense is meaningless. As the arbiter, I have the right and the power to punish all mistakes!!!"

"Come, Servants from another world, let's fight to the death!"

"Alright!" Lu Bu responded without hesitation, leaning back as his halberd reappeared between his two fingers.

Meanwhile, Tsurugi raised his warhammer high, and at that moment, he poured the remnant souls of 15 million people into this metal body!

And this is also the limit that this metallic body can withstand.

A mournful wail and a shriek filled the air as thick, soul-like energy coiled around the warhammer, nearly causing Webber to faint! Meanwhile, Lu Bu, who was facing him, had also completed his power accumulation!

"The Hammer of Destruction!!!"

"Oh my god!!!"

Two incredibly powerful attacks, despite their impressive names, were essentially just powerful basic attacks, and they collided together in that instant!

There are no exquisite techniques or mysterious concepts; here, there is only the most direct and direct attack and collision of real men.

A streak of aurora shot into the sky, like a lighthouse piercing the darkness. Webber opened his eyes; before him floated Iskandar's cloak.

—What was the result?

Weber hurriedly pulled back his cloak to look, but all he saw was a battlefield that had been completely cleared out.

The entire port warehouse, spanning thousands of meters, and all buildings above ground, whether factories or apartment buildings, were completely destroyed. No one knows whether the people and familiars hiding inside are dead or alive.

This was merely the aftershock of the clash between the two sides' attacks.

What was the outcome of this attack for both sides?

The enormous steel giant was now mostly crippled; one hand and half a leg were missing, its entire torso was broken, and the warhammer in its hand was headless.

On the other hand, Lü Bu's condition was also dire. Half of his skeleton was shattered, and his legs were deeply embedded in the concrete.

But in the blink of an eye, as the halberd disappeared, the effect of "One Lotus Rebirth - Heavenly Devouring Strike" was activated, and all his injuries vanished as if time had reversed.

"...Did the Lu Bu from another world win?" Waver murmured.

The next moment, the eerie green steel giant shattered completely, seemingly confirming his statement.

but--

"Not bad, you've got the upper hand in the first round. Let's begin the second round!"

Tsurugi leaped unharmed from the steel giant, shattering it completely with a backhand. Amidst the swirling storm of metal, he looked at the eager Lu Bu and laughed loudly.

Tsurugi's [Destruction Power] is the 'King of Life and Death,' which is essentially the enslavement, manipulation, and alteration of the soul.

In fact, the true combat mode of this power should be like that of a necromancer, commanding an endless army of the dead. However, the combat mode chosen by Tsugumi is a case of putting the cart before the horse.

He chose to use his soul to harness powerful metals for his own purposes, and to enhance the power of his attacks.

This usage isn't entirely wrong; a commander who possesses an incredibly powerful army should also be a strong individual capable of moving freely among thousands of troops.

However, such a use would require a sufficiently strong metal shell to contain his soul, and he currently does not have much of that metal.

The metal giant was based on the Zaku's frame, and then the original super-tensile steel was gradually replaced with the Luna titanium alloy from the space battleship. It was strong and powerful, but completely lacked magic-conducting properties.

275>>>>

Even if it can be nourished by the magic of the soul, its essential properties cannot be changed. However, as a technological creation, it also has its advantages, at least in terms of saving effort.

The best container would be a magical metal like Orichalcos or Uru metal, which is both tough and has good magic conductivity. Unfortunately, Tsugumi has not been able to find a suitable material.

So, during the battle with Lü Bu, after the machine suffered structural damage, Tsugumi simply decided not to repair it.

After all, his current physical condition is no longer up to par with his current combat standards.

Since it's useless, just discard it!

In the second round, let's fight using the dragon's body!

Tsurugi reached out and gently grabbed the Mind Cube from the power reactor, tossing it into his own Netherworld. He then looked at Lu Bu, whose injuries had healed, and smiled.

"You had the upper hand in the first round, can we have a second round?"

"Again, I have no problem at all!" Lu Bu grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp shark teeth as he laughed wildly.

He didn't care what tricks the person in front of him would use to deal with him; he only knew that there were few strong opponents who could withstand his attacks!

"Alright, let's move on to the second round."

Tsurugi took a deep breath and gently placed her palm on her left chest.

Pfft!Pfft!Pfft!

The heart of Albion within his chest pounded rapidly. Then, as he absorbed a large amount of black mud from Pandora's Box, his flesh began to writhe and transform. Countless surging black mud began to change under the drive of the power of jealousy!

To imitate, to modify, to delete, to reshape.

To mold this body and flesh into a stronger, faster, and more satisfying form!

Suddenly, Tsurugi felt his Dragon Heart beating, and an ancient memory belonging to this heart was reviving and echoing—a memory belonging to the heart of Albion itself, a memory of the dragon's ancient past.

At the same time, all the 'BUFFs' that Tsurugi possessed, which were added by Vottigeng, were activated.

Echoes of the Age of Gods, Yearnings of the Age of Gods, The Principle of Return

I want to go to that world, I want to leave this barren and suffocating world, I want

The dragon Albion is dead, but its heart, which exists within Tsurugi's chest cavity, beats so vividly.

Memories from this ancient dragon heart are constantly sending signals to Dongjiang, yearning to return to being a 'dragon'.

—Is there really such a good thing?

So Tsurugi decisively abandoned his plan to create a colossal body according to his own ideas, and instead followed the throbbing of his heart to reshape the dragon's body according to his memories!

"You might have to wait a while? Is there enough time?" Dongjiang looked at Lü Bu and said with a smile.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm waiting for you!"

"Ugh, it feels so bad, I can't breathe..."

Weber was deathly pale and gasping for breath, but like a fish out of water, he was having extreme difficulty breathing.

Iskandar was also somewhat at a loss; such magical matters were indeed difficult for the Conqueror King to solve.
