Chapter 246: My Servant is stronger than I have thought

Item: Steal.

It was an item that made him able to steal everything that was owned by his target.

Whether it was memories, treasures, experiences, skills, abilities, and all other things, they would be stolen.

This item was amazing since it could be done instantly, and he didn't need to kill it so he could devour it.

Nevertheless, while this item was amazing, it wasn't omnipotent, as those who were stronger than him could resist the effect of this item.

Frankly, if it wasn't because of this limitation, he might use this item on the being that chased and almost crashed him in the world of One Punch Man. After all, if he got the power of that being, was there even a need for him to walk around this journey or even use the system?

By becoming a God, he was invincible.

Nothing could defeat him.

He was everything.

Suddenly, the longing in his heart grew, and his ambition became hotter.

If it was before, he only thought of staying alive, defeating Nurarihyon and all the troubles in his world, but now, after his journey in various worlds, his view had already expanded.

In front of that being, whether it was, Nurarihyon and everything that wished for him to disappear from this world, was nothing but an ant. They were weak and could be crushed anytime.

Everything aside, that being was nothing but a weakling, including him.

The next time he was going to meet that being, he wasn't going to run away.

He was going to devour it and truly become the highest existence within the universe.

The one above all.

The only one.

However, such an existence was still distant. It was almost impossible to reach, yet it wasn't impossible.

Nevertheless, his focus was on this world.

His goal was to devour everything within this world.

Still, it didn't mean he was going to destroy everything since, if so, he was going to be targeted by all the higher beings in this world.

However, due to being chased by that being, whether it was his camouflage was almost perfect.

He was only any other human unless he was about to destroy this planet.

Still, the higher beings in this world, the Servants in this Holy Grail War, also couldn't be underestimated, especially Gilgamesh.

Depending on the situation, if he couldn't take it down instantly, then he would use the "Item: Steal" without hesitation as he was afraid Gilgamesh might destroy the world with his Noble Phantasm.

This world was beautiful, after all, and there were many heroines that he hadn't taken down.

"But Scheherazade, with your skill, facing a King shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

"Facing a King and defeating one is two different things, Master..."

Scheherazade sounded so helpless.

With her skill Counter Hero (Rank A), it was possible for him to stay alive against all the King types of Servants no matter how capricious they were, but if she was asked to defeat it, then it might be hard.

She wasn't an Assassin, nor was she a warrior, so fighting directly was impossible.

If she was asked to defeat a Servant, then she could only manipulate by using schemes, tricks, and body.

Yet, if possible, she didn't want to face a Servant.

She just wanted to stay as a logistic and supported him from backstage.

"That's true. Sorry for asking."

"No, it's okay, but if I use my Noble Phantasm, then it might be possible."

Yes, if she used her Noble Phantasm, she had a chance to fight against the other Servants. Moreover, with unlimited support from Prana from her Master, it was even possible for her to create a fictional world.

"Tell me more about your Noble Phantasm."

"Yes."

Alf Layla wa-Layla.

This was the name of her Noble Phantasm.

This Noble Phantasm gave her the ability to turn fiction into reality.

"A Reality Marble?"

"Yes." Scheherazade nodded. "Reality Marble is a projection of one's inner world onto reality. Everything in my story, stories that I have read and or created now, all of them can be created into a reality with my Noble Phantasm."

Because One Thousand and One Nights were never a fixed set but a malleable collective that grew over time, and as Scheherazade is the originator of the said collection of stories, Scheherazade has the right and ability to choose what she decides to be the "One Thousand and One Nights" where the female storyteller can choose stories, completely unassociated with the original One Thousand and One Nights, that came after her time or fiction and nonfiction that she simply read from books.

"If I give you a story, then you can make it into reality?"

"That's possible, especially with the unlimited energy that you have given to me."

Then to show her power, she showed her palm to him, and a cute miniature figure with Middle East-like clothes appeared on the top of her palm.

"What is this?"

"Aladdin."

"....."

With this power, he had to say; they were practically invincible, especially when she had a supply of energy from him.

As for feeling afraid the energy from the world would be drained by him, he didn't have it, as there were more than 200 billion galaxies in the universe. Even if one of the two disappeared, no one cared, right?

"Do you want to create a planet, so we can have a safe haven?"

"Is it possible?"

Tamazuki looked at Scheherazade, who was looking at him with shining eyes.

"No, let's not do that since our safety is currently enough. Moreover, against Gilgamesh, your world will be destroyed."

"Huh?" Scheherazade became scared and asked, "Is Gilgamesh's power more than that, Master?"

"Yes, among all the Servants that are summoned in this Holy Grail War, Gilgamesh can be said to be one of the strongest."

He didn't lie since Gilgamesh was the one that gave him the greatest threat among all the Servants summoned in this Holy Grail War, yet it wasn't to the point that he would run away like before.

After all, no matter what, Gilgamesh is a human.

No matter how special they are, in the end, it can't change the fact that they are fragile beings and die in the end.

"One of the strongest? Is there a Servant that can match him?"

However, Scheherazade caught this one more important point. She didn't doubt him since she felt like he was omniscient as if whether it was the past, present, or even future were clearly seen by his eyes.

Still, Tamazuki didn't answer her question and peeked into fate.

Even with the disappearance of Ryuunosuke from the board, it didn't change the end of the Holy Grail.

Whether it was the beginning or end, they remained the same.

If there was a difference, it would be the middle, but none of those didn't include him within the equation.

Fate didn't have the power to turn him into a piece of the board like others.

"Well, you will see her in a few days."

"Her? Servant that can match Gilgamesh is female?" Scheherazade was surprised.

After all, was there a female figure that could even match Gilgamesh?

It might sound unfair or unjust, but besides bearing a child and taking care of the house, such as the role of a woman in the past.

So, the fact that there was a woman whose existence could match Gilgamesh stupefied her.

"Well, no hurry. I will buy bookstores and publishing houses. Let's stay quiet since everything is still within the curtain."

"Yes, Master."

"Oh, right!"

"What's wrong, Master?"

"Let's get you less slutty clothes."

"....."

Scheherazade was a little speechless, but she couldn't do anything since her dancer-like clothes were a default costume when she was summoned, but she also knew her clothes were rather slutty, so she agreed.

"Yes, Master."

She linked her arm against his and leaned her head, thinking that his side was the safest place in the whole universe, but then she asked curiously, "Do you hate such clothes, Master?"

"I love it."

She chuckled and thought that it might not be bad to be summoned.

While they made their preparations, the Volare Italia charter coming from Germany landed on the F lane of the airport neighboring Fuyuki City.

"So this is Japan."

Two fair figures stepped into the runaway race as they came to this country for the first time, and the appearance of the two figures was the prelude of this Holy Grail War.
