A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

Shirou murmured to himself.

If that's the case, then Rama, the 'Last King,' would naturally be unparalleled in power after his appearance, and even the 'Godslayer' would only be killed if he were to face him alone.

At this moment, Pandora shifted her position in his arms, finding a more comfortable sitting position.

"In order to contend with the 'Final King' Rama, the Demon Kings of the past could only wage civil war against each other. The Demon King who ultimately won would then face the 'Final King' Rama. However... all the Demon Kings who won in previous generations were incredibly powerful, yet they all fell to Rama."

Shirou listened attentively to Pandora's story.

"Even so... my battle with him is already inevitable."

Upon hearing Shirou's answer, Pandora's beautiful face immediately revealed a touching smile full of trust, exuding a mature and charming aura despite her youthful appearance.

“Then, I will now bestow upon you the powers of those two disobedient gods that you defeated.”

Pandora smiled gently, then lifted her face slightly and kissed Shirou.

"Woo..."

It was at this moment that Shirou truly appreciated the benefits of twin tails.

From then on, he fell in love with the wonderful feeling of riding a horse.

……

Shirou 'successfully' obtained the powers of the two 'disobedient gods', Vereslana and Mekal.

As expected, one was Vereslana's ten incarnations, "Eastern War God," and the other was Mekal's power to control storms and lightning. Shirou did not reveal them, but instead categorized them under the power of "Wrath of the Sky," since they were both in the same domain.

Even so, Megal's power still enhanced Shirou's "Sky Fury" to some extent, especially in the areas of storm and lightning, allowing him to create more combo attacks.

Shirou, one of the ten incarnations of Vereslana, has personally experienced this power, but the power he obtained is somewhat different from the original work. However, this is normal, as powers vary depending on the person who obtains them.

As for Mechar's domain of power, it was comparable to that of Zeus, after all, He was the king who ruled over the ancient Phoenician pantheon.

In Christian culture, Mekal is also the Demon King of Gluttony, one of the Seven Deadly Sins; Milton's Paradise Lost portrays him as a demon king comparable to God; he is also Beelzebub, the Demon King; and Baal, the Dark Emperor, the leader of the Seventy-Two Demon Kings.

When Shirou woke up, the great battle had just ended.

He was only gone for a few minutes, but he stayed in that 'realm of life and death' for at least an hour.

In the end, if Pandora hadn't given him a warning, Shirou would still have lingered inside, reluctant to leave.

"Your Majesty! Are you alright?"

After confirming that the commotion caused by the 'disobedient god' had subsided, the three witches ran towards Shirou.

The reason they kept their distance was because they were worried about causing trouble for the "King".

Intelligent and beautiful, that's what Shirou loves most about them.

"Let's go back."

Shirou stood up and led the three witches back to the capital of Sardinia.

The purpose of coming here has been achieved.

After resting for a few days in the capital of Sardinia, Shirou completed the forging of "Excalibur" and "Golden Armor". He then added "EA" to the forging process.

"Forge several copies of all the EX-rank Noble Phantasms that I still remember and that I can forge."

In this way, even if an EX Noble Phantasm is destroyed, he can remain completely worry-free.

Sitting on a deck chair on the second-floor balcony of the Sardinian capital, Shirou checked the progress of the forging while planning his next steps.

"Next is Japan. Go there and investigate, and while you're at it, look into information about the 'Last King' Rama."

At the same time, Shirou also ordered the magic societies in Southern Europe and the Council of Sages to begin a worldwide investigation to confirm the extent of their control over the intelligence.

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. To fight against an enemy without any knowledge of them is undoubtedly an act of arrogance.

dong dong dong...

The sound of slightly hurried footsteps came from the stairs, attracting Shirou's attention.

Soon, Erica rushed up and, slightly out of breath, reported to Shirou.

"Your Majesty, we have received news that Marquis Voban, the Demon King who leads the Norse Magic Society, has boarded a plane bound for Japan."

"Marquis Voban?"

Shirou narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly figured out why Marquis Voban had gone to Japan.

Since they were able to obtain clues about the existence of 'rebellious gods' in Japan, the other demon lords were not fools either, and naturally they would have their own ways of obtaining such information.

As for the 'disobedient god' that will appear in Japan, Shirou can basically guess which one it will be.

To get to that place, what is needed is a powerful priestess...

"'Wonden Miko' Yuri Banriya!"

On the surface, she is an excellent student, but in reality, she is a high-ranking shrine maiden who protects the spiritual power group in the Kanto region. She belongs to the rare high-ranking shrine maiden "Hime Shrine Maiden".

She possesses the crucial ability to gain divine revelation from the underworld and see through the nature and origins of disobedient gods, a quality similar to that of Princess Alice.

Based on the current timeline, she should be around fourteen years old and a middle school student. Although her spiritual power is not as strong as it will be two years later, it is still quite powerful now.

However, since Shirou now has Princess Alice, the 'White Priestess,' Yuri Mariya doesn't care at all.

Both Shirou and Marquis Voban's goal was to obtain the 'rebellious god' that appeared in Japan.

"It seems we have similar goals, Marquis Voban."

Muttering to himself, Shirou stood up.

Chapter Fifty-Four: Voban's Attention, the Official History Compilation Committee

A garden in the Kanto region of Japan.

The spacious gardens of these old aristocratic villas, covering tens of thousands of square meters, contain many natural landscapes.

The lush green trees were trimmed very neatly, and the water flowed along the stream into the pond.

Deep within the waterfall, there appear to be ancient pagodas and altars.

However, Voban seemed completely unmoved by this exotic courtyard, and didn't even show the slightest interest in appreciating it.

Having decided on her residence in Tokyo, Sasha Dejansdar Voban immediately went to her lodging.

Voban's bedroom is in another building constructed within the hotel's courtyard.

It is a small Japanese house with a traditional style.

However, compared to its traditional exterior, the interior is very modern, a house full of Japanese style with tatami mats and screens.

"Is this the only kind of bland food available in such a small place...?"

Until yesterday, the old man still didn't understand Japanese at all.

However, both the 'Godslayer' and the high-ranking magician possess exceptional language learning abilities. After listening to some of his subordinates speaking Japanese, he quickly mastered it.

Looking at the menu, which listed typical but unoriginal Japanese dishes like tempura and sashimi, Voban picked up his sake glass filled with sake and drank it all down, muttering in perfect Japanese.

“'Black Dragon' Nidhogg, 'God of Fire and Craftsmen' Hephaestus, 'King of the Gods' Zeus, 'God of the Sea' Poseidon, 'God of the Underworld' Hades, and 'God of War' Veleslana and Mekal... This kid has only been a 'Godslayer' for less than two months, right?”

This

The old man's eyes were very sharp, like those of a lone wolf in hunting mode.

"Has that kid arrived in Japan yet?"

The moment Voban asked the question, a female corpse wearing a large black hat and with eyes sunken into their sockets—one of the "Servants of Death"—reported to Voban.

"It's already on the plane and will arrive around noon."

Upon hearing the other party's reply, Voban nodded in satisfaction, then a glint flashed in his eyes.

"The seventh 'Godslayer,' Orihara Shirou... If I could kill him and turn him into my servant of death, that would be quite good. A Godslayer with such talent and ability, if I could use him..."

For Voban, if the other party bowed down to him immediately, it would only make him feel incredibly bored. He preferred a wolf that was sometimes defiant and full of domineering spirit to a dog that would only wag its tail at its master.

After a moment's thought, Voban made up his mind.

He possesses the power to turn those he kills into his servants—the "Cage of Death's Servants"!

This is the power he usurped from Osiris, the Egyptian god of harvest and the underworld.

It preserves the humans, mythical beasts, demons, and artificial creatures with souls that it has killed as living corpses (the living dead) in the world, making them its loyal servants who are absolutely obedient.

Servants whose souls are imprisoned by power can be reborn after a period of time even if their physical bodies are destroyed. The Marquis can make them teleport to his side instantly.

The servants were a diverse mix of people from different eras, nationalities, and races.

Besides those of the rank of Grand Knight, there were also many famous magicians, who were valued as brilliant minds by the Marquis, who had no knowledge of magic whatsoever.

Because the soul of the deceased is subject to the power of obedience, its dominion is not absolute.

The servants also lost their judgment as they had in life, making them unable to carry out tactical actions or make predictions.

In addition, the divine beasts that the Marquis slaughtered and subdued were too powerful to move instantly, so they slumbered in his base in the Balkans.

In places like ancient battlefields and cemeteries, marquises can see the lives and destinies of those who die there, and can even force the dead to answer questions.

As a god-slayer who has killed many "disobedient gods" and possesses ten powerful abilities, Marquis Voban is very confident in his strength.

He doesn't believe that a single newcomer can defeat his centuries of accumulated experience.

Even if this newcomer kills seven 'disobedient gods' within two months.

"I will definitely make good use of a god-slayer with such talent and ability."

Marquis Voban revealed a sadistic smile, picked up a knife and fork, and began to savor the dishes served by the servants.

As he spoke, Marquis Voban's voice gradually became filled with murderous intent. He picked up his chopsticks, took a slice of raw fish, dipped it in sauce, put it in his mouth, and chewed it vigorously.

Although he didn't like the taste, perhaps due to a change in mood or the way it was eaten, he actually tasted a hint of fishiness and sweetness.

"good."

Voban gave a compliment, then picked up his glass and drank it down like water.

……

One hour after Shirou boarded the plane to Japan with two knight princesses and Princess Alice.

It is 1 a.m. in Tokyo, Japan.

The Official History Compilation Committee is the largest organization in Japan, jointly established by the government and numerous prominent families in the magic world. It is the largest institution specifically responsible for managing the order of the Japanese magic industry.
