They arrived at the enemy's location where Jing Ke reported the place where Boudica was held standing in front of the gates. Nexus used his eyes to scan for any threats behind the walls. He could see a dozen guards at the camp and could see the image of Boudica but there was a yellow circle around her that are somewhat restricting her movements making him lift his eyebrow in curiosity. Fortunately, she was alive, just unconscious. Not only that, he could sense two Servants near their location.

"Boudica! Can you hear me!?" Nero abruptly calls out.

"Hey, are you trying to expose our location to the enemy?" Nexus retorted, "Didn't you say we have to attack with caution?" causing her to flinch.

"O-Of course, I remember!" Nero panicked trying to cover up, "I'm making a call to create a diversion to our enemies away from her so that we could sneak in."

"Heeeehhh, Is that so…" he slurred with a deadpan face, "I didn't you'd think this through your plan. As expected of the Emperor."

"Gnrnrnrnrnrnr, if you're going to praise me then stop looking at me with that face!" Nero pouted knowing that he was being sarcastic. "Praise me with a face of glee!"

"Heh, so that's how she planned before arriving here, huh? I'll commend you for that." A young voice said coming behind them as everyone turned to the two figures. The one with the young voice came from a boy probably in his fourteen on his physique with a face that olmost looking like a woman with red eyes and red hair braided on the end. Another was a tall, old, mature man that is probably in his thirties with long black hair, squared glasses, and a stern face that wears a black tuxedo and a tie almost resembling the boy's color scheme.

"Rest assured, she's safe." The young boy assures Nero that nothing harm come to her, "She's fast asleep thanks to his spells." referring to the tall man.

"It's a Restraint Spell." he corrects the young boy which doesn't sound like that he's scolding at him due to age difference. It's more likely that Nexus was seeing the tall man looking at the boy with high regards, "It's not like being fast asleep."

"But it looked like she was sleeping."

"Restrain Spell, huh?" Nexus confirmed from what he say around Boudica, "That explains the bands around her." he mutters.

"You bastards. I'm surprised that you'd show your faces." She growls, "I assume you're both leaders of this fort. I shall allow it, tell me your names."

"Heeeeehhh, you're making us give you our names?" the boy questions trying to think what names he could give her, "Hmmmm, how should I put this? I have several, so I guess its Alexander. Yes, Alexander III."

"And he's…" he motions towards the tuxedo man but answers for him.

"Lord El-Melloi II." The man introduces, "Due to certain, or fate perhaps, I'm his strategist."

"Is that your real name?" Nexus asked to the man.

"Yes. I'm not a true Heroic so I probably have another name as a Heroic Spirit. But doesn't matter. You can forget it." El-Melloi stated.

"That doesn't work." Alexander scolds him, "We are the enemy generals to her. Right, Roman Emperor?"

"Of course. Now that it's come to this, you don't intend to fight, do you?" Nero cautiously held her sword.

"Nope." Alexander stated as nobody expected to hear that response from him.

"You aren't going to fight? You aren't the enemy Servants?" Mash was perplexed asking why he wouldn't attack despite stating themselves as enemy generals.

"You could say I'm a "drop out," I don't have a Master." El-Melloi states, "Alexander, on the other hand is different."

"Guess you could say my Master and I weren't on agreeable terms so I came out of here on my own will. I've been wanting to talk to you, Emperor. Yes, here, in the middle of the battle." The Roman emperor was confused to what the young boy was saying until Nexus sensed the soldiers' movements coming at the front gate.

"Senpai! Your Majesty! Enemy soldiers are coming, their target is your Majesty!" Mash reported to Nero.

"Ugh, a pincer stack!?" she grunts being in this complicated setup.

"Don't worry. We won't do anything." Alexander assured that they wouldn't attack them on their own leaving to the soldiers. "But the United Empire won't stop. Once they notice you, they'll attack automatically."

"Aren't these your men? You could've given them the order." Nexus said.

"True, but these forces are linked to my Master. Besides, even if I did control them. I wouldn't order forces that were given to me. I would rather gather forces at my own way. El-Melloi is more than enough worthy as my subordinate." Alexander explained that the person next to him acknowledged to be at his command.

"You don't need to bring that up." El-Melloi spoke modestly, "Also this isn't a good time since they need to fight them."

"Intercept them! Don't let them get Nero!" Nexus prepares everyone to intercept the enemy forces behind them with small amounts of soldiers they can muster.

The enemy were all defeated showing no signs of engaging on the Emperor as the two generals were standing doing nothing keeping their words. They had a few casualties but most of them were picked off from Nexus and his Servants.

"Is it over?" Alexander confirms as everyone stopped fighting.

"Not yet." Nexus stops them for a moment, "I need to check on her to see if she's okay."

"That's fine. I was going to talk to the emperor so I don't mind." to which the young boy complies ordering El-Melloi to release the spell and continues their talk as Nexus enters the fort.

He gets in looking where Boudica is inside the tent seeing her laying unconscious on the ground.

"Hey, wake up, Boudica." Nexus lifts her trying to wake her up slowly opening her eyes.

"Ah, it's Nexus, right?" she mutters with a half-hearted smile, "Sorry, I got slipped up after the Berserkers left. I should've saw that coming, my bad."

"Hey, could be worse." Nexus casually said seeing that there's not much damage on her which is good, "At least it wasn't Nero in front of you like this to save your ass."

She chuckles weakly, "True, I would've have the urge to kill her rather than being humiliated if you weren't there. But I don't feel like I could do that as of now…"

"Meaning?" Nexus could expect what her next line would be.

"It just feels like the emperor is feeling gloomy lately. If she keeps up like this, her soldiers' morale would go down and it'll be difficult to see through this battle." Nexus wasn't surprised hearing this. For a while, he could see several occasions that Nero was putting upfront to her soldiers' but it wasn't wholehearted and radiant as she was.

'What a pain…' he grumbled, 'If it come down to this then I'll have to handle this. That's the last thing I would want to do…' thinking that she needs to pull herself sooner or later or else he would have to clean up and finish the job. Which will leave a bad taste since nobody would be satisfied winning a battle on his own.

'Just how long is she gonna get over this?' referring to Nero if she could get over her gloominess any time.

"Also, shouldn't you mind your choice of words?" despite Boudica in an exhausted state she still scolds him, "Didn't your parents tell you to mind your language?"

"It's not like it matters how I speak or not. Since I never have one." he puts out casually like that Boudica seeing that he isn't lying at all.

"Could it be that you're…" before Boudica could ask but was cut off by a sudden explosion.

'So much for the talk' he expected something would happen outside from the wall turning to her.

"We don't have much time. For now, you need to get somewhere safe."

"Commander." Jing Ke jumps in at the right time easily passing through the enemy fort thanks to them, "Nero requested me to retrieve Boudica."

Nexus nods knowingly giving Boudica to her, "Take her somewhere safe so that she could recover."

"Yes." the Assassin responds knowingly and disappears carrying the red-haired queen. Nexus returns to everyone that the battle has currently started. Roman gives the sitrep of Alexander questioning Nero of why she fights and join the United Empire. Nero's pride refuses to back down and to not let of some fake emperors to take over and they both ended up fighting.

As for Nexus, he told his side and Boudica is alright and that Jing Ke is taking care of it. Once she recovers, she'll be back in the battlefield. Nexus could see Nero's sword clashing against the young boy's short sword along with Mash and Saber Alter fighting. While Medusa and Jeanne were handling El-Melloi attacking them with various element spells.

Just as he was to go after Alexander, Nexus backs off from the earth wall in front him that was casted shifting towards El-Melloi with his fan.

"Sorry, but that's far enough, Magus. I can't let you go any further on Alexander."

"You seem to have high respects on him, hearing the fact that he's your loyal subordinate. Did he really mean that much to you?"

"That's right. He's the person, or perhaps the other one that's him, that changed my life."

""Other one?"" Nexus asked.

"Yes, although it's not actually him. Probably in his old days. But it's no doubt that he's the King of Conquerors, Iskandar. He's the man that impacted my life and made me one of his legion. That's why I won't let you through. You'll have to get through me." El-Melloi declares the young magus on defending his king even if he's a dropout.

"As you can see, I'm not particularly of what you call a "genuine" Servant." he starts to explain, "I'm what you called a Psuedo-Servant, whether Divine or Heroic Spirits summoned with a human body as a vessel possessing their powers and abilities. The consciousness may take place depending on the situation but I am my own self as I can utilize the power of Zhuge Liang."

"Zhuge Liang!? He's widely known as an excellent strategist during the Three Kingdoms Period in China. No wonder we were outmatched by their forces." Roman shocks from hearing the name of the Chinese strategist.

"I'm sure that the consciousness on this El-Melloi guy might also be a strategist himself." Nexus pondered in thought.

'Guess it works on certain individuals to be Psuedo-Servants. Perhaps a rare occurrence?'

"Be careful, Nexus. If he's the one who made the plan on attacking us then we may be at a disadvantage here."

"You don't have to be so doubtful, Roman. You know what they say, when you lose a battle, you learn something so you can beat them in the next round." Nexus speeds through him swinging his leg. The strategist reacted fast to block his kick skidding him sideways. Rider aims at his unguarded side throwing her chain at him but uses his fan letting out a strong gust lose the chains' force. Several boulders come into play falling above them continuing to dodge then Caster erupts flame pillars at them.

Nexus rushes in at the Caster at an open spot.

He clicked his tongue, "Don't overestimate yourselves!" then a mirror appears behind his head firing a light beam aiming at Nexus dodging and several other beams at the others spreading out.

"So he can create fire, make rocks fall from the sky, use a fan to blow winds strong enough to dry wet clothes at an instant, and use a mirror to shoot laser beams." Nexus mused analytically to what he was seeing how the long haired dude was fighting. To be fair, he is using range attacks to keep Nexus's side at bay preventing them to get any closer.

"But we do know that he's limited to close range but with those attacks could be troubling, Master." Jeanne comments.

"We could engage on him consecutively if possible. However, it is unsure when he will let up from his magic attacks." Medusa calmly admitted that they're in a pinch of facing a skill of the Great Tactician.

"So how are we going to get close to him?" Nexus thinks to come up with a solution, "It's true that this guy stays away from enemies farther away with his magic. But if we don't know how to deal with it, it's going to be a pain."

"Hey!"

"However, it'd be convenient to have someone with enough mana to counter it…" he thinks to himself ignoring the voice from afar. "I could handle his range but that's make me need to multitask of what I'm doing leaving me a blind spot."

"Can you hear me!?"

"Should I create a feint? But wait if he's a tactician, he might expect this and create a counter force to it. Should I create two feints then? No, that's too obvious…if there was someone to manipulate magecraft would make it easier enough."

"I'm here!" the mysterious voice was still shouting getting the black-haired man's nerves turning around.

"SHUT UP! CAN'T YOU SEE I'M TRYING TO THINK HERE!?" he shouted at the voice coming from the guy standing there for who knows how long.

"Y….Yeah, I was saying….that I could handle his magic since I'm a Caster. But I don't think I could top him but I could handle a few of his magics…." the guy said.

Nexus looks at him for a moment and realized who he is, "Oh, it's you, Cu Chulainn." he states blankly at his presence

"Don't "Oh, it's you, Cu Chulainn" me! You've completely forgotten about me. The guy who formed a contract with you!" the druid exclaimed.

He thought about it for a moment and then remembers, "Oh yeah, sorry. I forgot you were with us."

"Is that all you have to say!?"

"Hey, if you said you can help then get to it. I don't you go dying in a crossfire so let's finish this quick before you end up dead."

"It's like you expected me that I'll eventually die, right!?"

"Shut up and help already." Nexus demanded.

"You're really cruel than Mentor, Aniki." He mumbled running over to them creating fire runes at the long-haired guy.

"I'll be sure to remind her what you said once I meet her."

"Please don't. I'm sorry. I don't want to suffer anymore from the both of you." Cu was doing a dogeza position being so desperate not wanting to feel the wrath on him and his mentor.

"So, can you cast protective runes?" Nexus putting that matter aside by asking.

"Uh sure. I do have the basic spells on runecrafts." Cu said drawing protective runes on Jeanne and Medusa, "Do you need one."

"No, I can handle it on my own. Just focus on handling Caster's attacks after you cast runes for the both of them."

"Thought so." as he knew Nexus didn't need protective runes for the first place that he could go without protection rushing to El-Melloi once again as he waves a gust of wind at him jumping over following up with several light beams shooting above to Nexus dodging them all and deflect it aside. El-Melloi didn't notice the beam until he saw where it was aiming at the red-haired king before he could call out to him, Alexander reacted quickly holding up his dagger aside negating the attack.

"You're mine!" Nero proclaims dashing towards to the young king executing her next slash. Alexander couldn't react fast enough so he uses his free arm barely avoiding a fatal blow.

Nero clicked her tongue not getting his opponent as Mash and Saber Alter follows up on Alexander.

"Nero!" Nexus called out to her, "If you're going to make an attack, you shouldn't shout out like that!" while he was dodging several more light beams doing a sweep kick projecting a low arc-shaped razor wind at the Caster forcing him to jump.

"I know that!" Nero calls back before mumbling, "I was sure I had him…." she fights once more joining Mash and Saber to defeat Alexander.

While El-Melloi is in midair, he casted rocks shooting them as they avoid getting hit and others get smashed once he lands on the ground.

"So this is the Master that commands these Servants, huh? For a mage, he can handle himself quite well." El-Melloi talks to himself to get hold of who he's facing. He can assume that this magician is more of an elementalist although not like any other element users that can enhance elements through martial arts.

'Witnessing that kick he threw projects a wind blade in a composite size that it's aiming at my foot…he didn't attempt to blow me off with a strong force.' he saw the grass that was completely shaved from his kick. 'To think that he could manipulate the air flow into a cutting edge of mana. Wait, did that blade carry mana at all?' for him to think that, he didn't sense any mana at all from the blade. Before he could think more, El-Melloi was interrupted by Nexus doing a spinning axe kick as he barely blocks it.

'Such strength coming from his leg!' which strained his forearm blocking his kick forcing himself to move aside. Nexus continues his attacks and his Servants to completely leave him overwhelmed trying to avoid and counter every attacks they throw.

'Alright, that got him thinking for us to move.' Nexus confirmed in his thoughts while continuing the assault, 'If what Roman said him being a strategist is true then he must have been analyzing that kick I've thrown at him. If possible, he could be thinking right now while we're in the initiative. It's only a matter of time before he could act so we should prepare for the worst.' Nexus thought out for this plan and discussed Jeanne, Medusa, and Caster Cu.

They thought out for his plan and asks if there's anything they would have trouble complying this, he'll change it. Which they comply that they can approach this and that if anything goes wrong, Nexus can handle it. He would admit saying that is overconfident of him but they paid no mind and said they would leave it to his commands.

Their assault was stopped once the Caster Servant threw his fan down creating a wide blast of wind pushing away from him straightening himself. "Handling the four of you is becoming more difficult than I imagined. I've got no choice, I'll make sure to end this for all of you." he takes a stance gathering magical energy within.

"Large mana has been detected! Nexus, he's about to use a Noble Phantasm!" Roman warned them.

"I know." Nexus said to everyone to brace themselves what kind of Noble Phantasm he'd be using.

"This is the ultimate formation of the Great Tactician!" El-Melloi casts his mana at the air above them. Nexus sees several pillars falling from the sky surrounding the four of them and a polygon shape similar to the disk he was using but bigger topping on the pillars.

"Unreturning Formation:Stone Sentinel Maze!" the light brightens as they found themselves in a middle of walls with intricate designs spreading all over the area. Nexus scanned the area that all of the area is contained with magical energy.

"Looks like we're smack down in the middle of a maze." Nexus assume with an unfazed expression as with everyone else wondered where they are.

"It must be this Caster's Noble Phantasm." Roman explains, "The great formation when Zhuge Liang's troops retreat, he has a trump card to trap his enemies. A stone sentinel maze never finding their way out until death."

"Strength isn't the only thing that are fought in battles. One would need a great mind to think and find their way around facing overwhelming odds. Enemies like you should be dealt with quickly. It's now settled." El- Melloi lighting his cigarette assured that the match is over.

"I wonder….dealing with an enemy like me should be dealt with quickly, you say? Wouldn't make it a bit hasty? You sure do like underestimating them." Nexus comments walking towards the maze wall placing his hand with his Servants diverts their attention to him, "I do admit that trapping us is a fair tactic for you. But if you think hastily, your mind is tunneled not knowing which alternative to take. Not knowing the cause and effect, nor the events that could be beneficial or not. Quick thinking is effective, but you should spare every second of time you can give into your mind and look thoroughly on anything."

"And if you find it…" as Nexus continues talking detecting the focal with his eye pulling his arm back aiming through piercing through the walls to the pillars shattering much to the Caster's shocked appearance that his Noble Phantasm was broken through and the maze dissipates everything now that Nexus and his team were free from the maze.

"You'll be sure to see the light that shouts victory all over your eyes but you can't bother to see it." he clenches his fist as they follow his lead dashing towards the long-haired dude phasing past him as he was critically hit in several spots on his body falling down.

'I figured…guess beating him is far from it…' El-Melloi thought in his mind flat on the ground turning around to lay his back, 'To think I'd be lectured from a newbie magus like him. No, it's likely that he has experience in battles more than me.' he slowly inhales his cigarette and then exhales all of it, "So that's how it is….sorry Rider, I guess I underestimated my enemies a bit too far…" he said his words disappearing into gold dust.

"Smoking a cigarette in your death doesn't make you cool, long hair." Nexus retorts as he looked back at where he was, "It's overrated." he hears a sword impaled looking aside to the red emperor holding her sword that was plunged at Alexander as she pulls it out causing him to fall both knees down.

"Amazing. As expected of the Roman Emperor. Your pride never wavers against all odds." Alexander mutters to Nero panting her breath.

"I have one more thing to say to you." Alexander states before he starts to disappear, "That pride of yours…..has blossomed, its radiance are sure to be revered, but it can also be a fatal flaw. Please, do not let yourself be fallen so easily." he parted his words disappearing into gold dust.

"I am…not wrong…by any means…" Nero pants barely getting her words out, "I am…the only… Emperor…" until her voice get shriveled preventing her to state with full confidence and Mash and Saber Alter were both silent.

"Now that we're almost at the beast's maw. I think it's a chance to take on their capital to end this." Nexus suggest regrouping with everyone planning their attack, "It's now or never. We need all the strength we have to push this through so that you can achieve victory. Isn't that right, Your Majesty?"

Nero straightens herself putting an effort not to show any weakness, "Umu…In other words, it's the final showdown! Now is the time to gather my strength and yours, as my soldiers. Now is the time to strike! And make Rome as one!"

"My sword is the Original Flame, the sound of clashing a star streak across the sky. Listen in awe and praise it! Rejoice, my Swords!" she held her sword up rallying her troops roaring.

"I could hear her voice over here. The troops' morale is sky-high." Roman comments.

"The morale will keep them going to attack the Capitol." he looks through the walls to see if there's any sign of the court mage behind the walls or perhaps Lev to be there. He detects a magical life form silhouette of a familiar person at the chamber of the palace. "He's there." which made Nexus's Servants noted from him as he's also seeing an abundant of mana on its hand assuming that it's the Grail.

"Really?" Mash asked giving him a nod of affirmation.

"He's at the palace over there. If we could get through the gates. We could break through the palace and stop Lev before summoning any Servants." until Nexus scoffs of doubt, "If only that could be easy if it weren't for that guy over there." Mash wondered what he was talking about until she noticed someone in front of the gate and detects that it's a Servant.

"Aw you beat me to it…" Roman mumbles analyzing the Servant who happens to be a tall, tanned, muscular, near naked man with red eyes wearing piercings on his lip and nose with a gold crown with some sort of (feathered weapon?).

"Those of you are truly brave, indeed. That is why you rule over your Rome." the tall man declare calmly projecting his voice directly to them. It seems that Servants are capable of using different vocal cords in talking to a particular group.

"I see. So you're Nero?" the tall man looked towards the red swordswoman standing there speechless not knowing what to say. Nexus noticed this assuming it has to do with the Servant's skill. No, rather than skill, it was more like….she was being weighted by the presence of this man. Someone that could hold to a higher standard which he now understood what's going on in his mind.

"What is….No, it can't be…"

"Nero? You don't look well. Did someone cast a spell on you?" Mash noticed Nero standing there hesitating not knowing what to do.

"I'm not detecting any magical energy. It doesn't seem like magecraft or Servant Skills." Roman checked on Nero not tracking any abnormalities.

"Well, I guess it's a natural thing when you're meeting your own predecessor. They would've pissed their pants already." Nexus remarks making everyone a bit confused to what he's talking about.

"Wh-What was that!?" Nero yelped, "I'm not that shameful…"

"I meant in a general view. Not you in particular." Nexus averts that casually walking towards the tall man.

"You know who he is already?" Jeanne asks to him due to her skill True Name Discernment.

"Not much about him. But I can take a guess on what his name is." Nexus respond looking towards his deep red eyes.

"We can skip the formalities and get on with it. With you contracted, it's inevitable that you have to end up in convenient times and places. Isn't that right….Romulus?" everyone shocked hearing that name Nexus refer to the tall man as he nods silently.

"Eh Romulus!? As in the Holy Progenitor Romulus that created Rome itself!?" Roman exclaims still processing that the tall man was Romulus.

Nero slowly nodded, "Just from one glance, I understood. He is truly….Rome, itself…"

"If you understand Nero, then come. Come back to Rome. Rome is the true leader of the United Empire. Rome shall forgive you for everything. Rome is the only one that can do that. That is Rome." Romulus offers Nero initially convincing her to join the United Empire as Rome.

"I…"

"That's kinda wishy-washy from someone who created the empire itself when you're working on the fakes that are taking over." Nexus steps forth in front of Romulus.

"Telling her to join on the people with no connection to history, no connection to achievements, and no connection to the love of their own city. Those that just plops down and takes on others have so much glory than they do."

"Nexus…"

"Enough with the pointless talk. What matters to me is that there's a bastard behind that gate who I want to plant my boot to his face. And these guys are here getting back their glory for what's stolen. Whether you're a founder, king, or god means nothing to me. As long as you're standing in my way, I will crush on anyone." Nexus stated in a firm tone and that he isn't backing down on talking to the Progenitor with his Servants giving an impression with a mix of smirking approval and a worried laugh from the Ruler. His sole intention is to beat Lev down and Nero's is to defeat the Empire taking her kingdom since their goals coincide to cooperate.

"Umu, That's right!" Nero steps forth besides to the black haired magus, "I had wanted to believe that you'd be here. However, you stand in my way! You are none other than the founding king of the nation, Romulus!"

"Hmmm. I see. To resist on the Empire to regain glory as their own. Yes, that is….Rome." the enemy forces starts screaming behind him. "If you are resolved to take on Rome itself. Then take it, push forth, and surpass the great wall that stands above you. And proudly call yourself as ROME ITSELF!" he lifts up his lance indicating the charge to the force jumping off to the scene to the capital.

"There are enemy forces charging at Nero!" Roman calls out.

"Intercept them. We're going to push through." Nexus walks towards the force cracking his knuckles with his Servants follow along.

"Yes." as every forces charges to the gates and Nexus dashes through the enemies through explosive force taking large chunks of the enemies' forces down and his Servants dashes through clearing anybody in their path as the Roman army advances to take over the United Empire.

The swords clash onto each other with grating steels. Others clash with shields for defense or push each other off getting impaled from their blades and spears. For the Roman allies, the two Berserkers have ended up fighting in the capital (somehow…) and were crushing everyone in their way being enthusiastic since there are plenty of enemies in once place so there's no worry to go off from the objective once more.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The day of liberation has come. Crush the oppressors with your will and bodies!" Spartacus laughs sporadically slashing at the enemies and crashing on with his muscles and Lu Bu creating strong winds with the swing of his spear blowing them away.

"I see, the founding ruler, huh…" Boudica has been informed the latest news of what's happening from Jing Ke advancing through the capital.

"That explains why she feels so gloomy. It would sure to affect the troops' morale."

"Emperor Nero? It doesn't seem that she's gloomy to me. I'm sure that there's no problem for her encouraging her troops in the battlefield." Jing Ke assumes.

"I suppose… she does act cheerfully like usual, but it doesn't seem radiant as normal."

"I never of thought of to be considerate to someone who stole your home." Nexus commented landing next to her shooting a lightning shot at the archer aiming her at the tower.

"Thank you, Nexus. I suppose there's truth into those words you said. But just seeing her in such a distressed state would only cause a fatal loss on our side. As much as I hate to say it, she's in her state that conquered Britannia." she furrows her brows aggravating for the next soldier attacking her deflected from her shield and stabs him. "As of now, we're fighting human soldiers, and the boss is in the palace which should be fine, but…"

"It'd be a problem if Romulus shows again, is what you're saying?" Nexus guessed the right mark at Boudica with a nod.

"The morale of the United Empire is strangely high. The soldiers were all ready to sacrifice themselves."

"True, whenever I killed them, they showed no fear in their eyes. Not only the soldiers, but also the civilians. Fighting like killing their enemies is their true purpose. Almost like they're programmed to kill." he kicked at the merchant's head twisted from his back falling down lifelessly. "This Romulus guy puts everybody into the flames. Makes you wonder why they'd even bother making a city if their sole task is to dominate."

"It does seem that way. If I would ask, it's quite brutal for you kicking the man's head like that." Boudica unnerved on Nexus's way of dealing enemies.

"Is that so? Well I apologize for you to see that way. That's how I always fight."

"It never bothers you?"

He shook his head, "You could never hesitate on anything if you're intending to fight someone that gets in your way. Here we're facing the Son of Mars that cranks people up for war with no shred of fear at all. Welp, at least I don't need to hear their weeping. Gives me a pain in the neck. And besides, that's how my life is. Fighting to no end."

Boudica was silent hearing such a morbid end from him wanting to ask, "Nexus…"

"Though in any case, I guess Nero would be shocked to see Romulus to face against us seeming like a betrayal of their own. Can't believe that she be stuck up doing no good with that doubtful attitude of hers for this long. She's becoming a sad sight." the magus thought to himself sensing an energy signature in their direction to be a magical beast.

"Looks they decide to bring out their little pets, huh?" he spats suggesting Jing Ke to find a route to the palace.

"Then I will protect the soldiers and the Emperor." Boudica suggests on staying behind the forces, "I can leave this to you, right?"

"Don't expect too much of us."

"Oh but I will. You'll figure this out, right Mash?"

"Yes, Senpai will always get things done when the need is there." Mash having faith in him to do the job as every Servants agreed

"I don't want to be pressured like this." Nexus sighs facing towards the beast in front of them, "Well, we'll finish this quick and be bringing the royal crasher soon." he cracks his knuckles readying to pummel the beast down.

"Oh, it's you." Nero noticed Nexus arriving after they dealt with the beast. He told Mash to keep off the remaining enemies that the forces were having trouble with and help them. (A/N: the in-game text said that she took a restroom which sounds pretty stupid to me at this time of age.)

"…I made a fool out of myself, didn't I?" Nero gazed down regrettably for her actions to Nexus keeping himself silent waiting for her to finish what she has to say.

"Although I hesitated a bit meeting with my uncle and Lord Ceasar. But this one hit home. Just a tiny bit, mind you…" trying not to show much of her weakness at the black haired magus, "I put up such an act and now I'm being pathetic. Because of now, I really wanted to bow down to the Holy Prgenitor."

The only thing Nexus could respond is snort out of pity, "Geez, you really are pathetic, No, you're not just pathetic, you're a disappointment." He has heard enough of Nero self-doubting whether she keeps fighting or not from the very beginning walking up to her grabbing her collar, "Then maybe I should just kill you right here, right now." this gives everyone the attention to including his Servants.

"Your majesty! You! What are you-" before the soldier responds Nexus shots a glare out at everyone seizing their movements including the enemies that have a shred of fear at him.

"NONE OF YOU MOVE A SINGLE INCH. IF ANYBODY MOVES, I KILL YOU AND YOUR EMPEROR!" he declared his words threatening anyone daring to help Nero.

"Hey Nexus! What are you doing!? She's our ally!" Roman exclaims to hear Nexus's sudden impulse at attempting to create a greater chaos than the battle.

"You stay out of this Roman!" he growls through the mic making Roman froze.

"Wait, Senpai! We can't just fight over ourselves! This is too extreme!" Mash confused of what his actions causing him to threaten Nero.

"Let's calm down, Master!" Jeanne attempts to confront her Master, "If we fight over ourselves, there won't be any meaning in this battle!"

"There won't any meaning for a pathetic leader that can't pick their own goddamn selves up to winning! This fight would be all for nothing!" the words behind his voice hints something that Jeanne realized what he meant since Saber Alter, Medusa, and Caster didn't move at all not just they stiffened at Nexus's threat but something else.

"Are you seriously giving yourself up just because he's the "Holy Progenitor"!? Just because he created your nation!? Because you should bow down to him because he's your king!? Is that how the Romans do!? Quit screwing around!" his shouts demanding Nero responding.

"I-I can't do that…" Nero stutters.

"You said that you can't! But you don't deny Romulus being your "king"! He may created Rome but that shouldn't make you admit that he's your king! Cause he's not! His days of an emperor is over!" Nero widens her eye from his words, "Your uncle, the fat emperor, their days were over! They're not kings anymore! YOU ARE! You are now the king! Their days are over! You should be taking back your nation! Surpass them! Isn't that how Romans do. Do you really bow down to the kings before you as a king!?"

"No…" Nero responds sternly, "I can't do that. I won't stray from my path just because he's my king. I will not let my people having no smile like his. That's why I...I DO NOT WANT ANYBODY TO TAKE AWAY THE LAUGHTER OF MY ROME!" her eyes filled with resolve all of her self-doubt purged away.

Nexus smirks at Nero finally getting her confidence. "Then, that's fine by me." he lets her go, "As long as you don't lose faith in yourself, then it's all good." bringing back his own carefree voice letting Nero fix her collar.

"EVERYONE AT FULL CHARGE! THIS IS OUR FINAL PUSH!" Nero commands her force, "NO MATTER WHO OR WHAT WE'RE FACING, WE WILL MARCH FORTH AND DEFEAT OUR ENEMIES SO WE CAN BRING OUR TRUE GLORY TO ROME!" her forces roared with morale greater than before resuming their battle to their full strength.

"Looks like you've motivated them more than ever." he comments.

"It's all thanks to you, Nexus. If you didn't say those words, I would've truly lost faith in myself. Now that my eyes are open, I can finish what I've started."

"You're showing gratitude over someone who was threatening your life. Shouldn't you be more concerned about yourself?"

Nero shakes her head, "No, your intention was to get me motivated even in the most dire need of time. And besides, you would've killed me firsthand if you hadn't. You wouldn't kill anybody without a reason."

Nexus snorts, "You're just imagining things."

"Even so, I wouldn't be motivated if you hadn't. Therefore I forgive you, I'm don't mind having aggressive men you."

"Stop right there." Nexus flatly puts his hand out in a low voice, "I don't want cause any misunderstanding with that line." making Nero pout to her advance reaction.

Jeanne and Mash lets out a sigh of relief now that the situation is sorted. Who knows what they would do if the emperor has been killed in this timeline that could possible make another drastic change in the timeline.

"For now it's time that we finish this." Nero said preparing her plan, "Jing Ke has found a way into the palace. We will take our small number of elites and take out Romulus. This will be the final battle. Will you come with me, Mash, Nexus?" she makes a request to the two.

"Of course. Besides, we've unfinished business with this "mage."" Nexus gives his respond that their original intention is to get the "mage" for every Chaldea Servants to gather and advance to the palace.

After breaking through the defenses. Nexus and everyone else reached the entrance to the throne room. Exploring through the interior of the palace has the exact replication as the Roman's palace. Assuming, that it's some sort of magecraft creating this palace or maybe that the writer of this story is too lazy to make it a different substance for the United Empire so they used theirs instead…

Whatever the case what Nexus would be thinking, they were in front of the gate as they were about to face the creator of Rome himself.

"Pardon for the intrusion." he says in a stoic yet sarcastic way of greeting kicking the gate flying out to the walls for Romulus standing straight with both hands resting on his lance.

"So you've come, my beloved child." he greets his successor in a calm tone not intent to attack immediately.

"Umu, I am here! Proud founder of our great nation, King Romulus!" Nero greets Romulus in a respective manner despite that they'll eventually fight.

"Such splendid radiance…" he praised to her resolve and presence. "In that case, should I call you "Emperor?""

Nero shook her head, "No, there's no need. You will call me what you've said. Whether it's the past, present, or future. I am the one and only Fifth Emperor of Rome!"

She draws her sword pointing to him, "Holy Progenitor, King Romulus! I hereby challenge you along with my warriors, my swords!" declaring him to a duel with Nexus and the group against the Holy Progenitor.

Romulus nods knowingly, "I'll allow it, Nero Claudius. Show me that you can conquer Rome's love with your love. By my lance…."

He lifts his lance high up in the air, "THIS IS "ROME"!" Romulus roars of his declaration of combat beginning to charge through.

"He's coming! Everyone, engage!" Nexus gives his command with everyone charging towards Romulus. Each of them attacks one by one at Romulus in order to overwhelm him blocking their initiative strikes.

Saber Alter comes behind enlarging her sword swinging through only to be prevented from Romulus's lance being blocked. She changes her stance dodging his swing changing tactics.

"Senpai! Her sword was blocked by Lancer's weapon!" Mash exclaims in surprise since Saber Alter's strength happens to be the weight of a speeding rocket (according to Caster Cu from then).

"Must be some sort of skill he's using." Nexus assumes after seeing Romulus managing to fight several servants and a "historical human?" at once when Medusa aiming at his legs throwing her chained dagger only to be scraped from his skin that barely bleeds dodging the swing of his spear in a circular motion with enough strength on blowing them off.

Nexus goes into the tall man's radius weaving and dodging every moves as he can to overwhelm his defense with quick combos aiming at the joints of his arms and legs if he could bring his defense down.

"Hmm, I see." Romulus mutters in thought fighting Nexus. "You are willing to bring down Rome with your own fists. Nonetheless, fighting a Servant as a Master. One who would face an obstacle but to pull through with one's own strength. That is also…Rome."

"Is that so?" Nexus mused from the creator's acknowledgement of him, "I'm not usually someone that gives out much attention getting compliments from the creator himself. But I'm kinda in a rush here. I don't want anybody to drag me down." he finished throwing consecutive rapid punches before pulling his fist infusing with fire exploding in contact with the Holy Progenitor forcing him back.

"I see. So you wish to crush anybody in your way even against Rome itself?" Romulus questions Nexus's motives.

"That's what we're all here for. Your days were already over. And besides, I'm not even Roman." he answers like it was obvious stating clear of his intentions are.

"There are truth in those words." Romulus agreed knowingly, "I am no emperor. I have created Rome. I have ruled Rome. And my time has come to an end. But I see that you lack insight of what Rome is truly is. No matter how many generations pass. Rome will never fall. If it shall break, then we will recreate. We will conquer to make new Rome. The sky, the earth. Everything is Rome!"

"Yes, that is why…" Romulus suddenly goes into break necking speed for Nexus to widen his eyes getting close. "Rome is eternal." Romulus then throws a punch at him dodging it barely to his eye level until he sees another punch follows through.

Another, another, and another for Nexus to dodge the tall man's punches consecutively at a speeding rate.

"Magnus!" Romulus lifts up his lance bringing down to the black hair for Mash to block with her shield.

"Are you okay, Senpai!?"

"Yeah, no problem. Thanks, Mash!" Nexus thanks her still focusing on the battle as Nexus goes up to him with a high roundhouse only to be blocked.

"Nero!" calls Nero giving her a chance to strike goes to his front slashing pushing him off leaving him a slash on his front.

"Very well." Romulus mutters, "Let us see if you're brilliance can shine brighter than Rome itself. Behold!" he raises his lance high increasing his mana into it.

"Large magical energy detected! He's going to release a Noble Phantasm!" Roman warns them.

"Everything, absolutely everything leads to my lance!" he thrusts his lance downward planting the ground

Magna Voluisse Magnum: All Things Leads to My Spear!

An abundant of magical energy was released as the ground begins to shake. Nexus widens his eyes knowing what's coming next.

"Everyone, jump!" he shouted everyone to jump when the ground erupted revealing large roots of plants coming out spreading the entire room beginning to elevate itself.

"A Noble Phantasm that can manipulate plants, huh?" Nexus says when the roots won't stop growing towards as everyone starts jumping over tree by trees and breaking them in their way.

"Witness the power of the birth building of the nation. To create the past, present, and future! Witness the creation of the new Rome" Romulus exclaims rising atop of the tree growing more and more roots erupting.

"CU! Set these trees ablaze before this whole palace turns into a forest!" Nexus shouts to Caster.

"Yeah, leave it to me!" Caster Cu draws a fire rune on the roots slamming his staff onto it igniting the blaze to burn them.

"They just keep on coming! Caster wouldn't be able to burn them all at this rate, Master!" Jeanne notes Nexus dodging the incoming vines as much as they can.

"Who said about burning them all?"

"Huh?" the Holy Saint looked at him with a confused face that burning the trees weren't the plan see his hands generating electricity.

"I'm going to test a combination." Nexus smirks with excitement dashing through the torrent of roots instantly obliterated from his path going to the Holy Progenitor.

"ARTORIA ALTER!" the tyrant King of Knights hears her name called by her Master in midair electricity crackling around him, "Fire your Noble Phantasm." he says to her.

Saber Alter smirks knowingly for what his Master would do instantly flaring her sword up to its maximum power. Nexus brings close to his hand charging enough electricity into his hands to fire his technique.

"EXCALIBUR MORGAN!"

"LIGHTNING TORRENT!"

Nexus shoots a composed lightning projection flashes to the obsidian beam firing as more roots piles up. Once the fire reaches the waves of trees coming at them coming into contact of the giant beam.

Waves of them were instantly combusted drilling through its path leaving no time for the trees to reform itself leaving Romulus exposed.

"Now's your chance Nero!" Nexus shouts to Nero, "You got nothing to hesitate now, right!? Prove your sword to clear your path. So that you can surpass your king to reclaim what's yours!"

"You have my gratitude!" Nero dashes in jumping to the first king of Rome infusing her sword (probably?) with fire for the final blow.

"You're mine!" she swings her sword through him as everything went silent and back to it. His hand held to the spear were now loosened and all of the trees were dispersing landing Nero gracefully after Romulus's fall.

"…Your love, is radiant, Nero." Romulus praised her with his body beginning to disperse now that he is defeated, "I entrust my eternal crimson and golden empire…to you and your heirs. Remember, Rome is eternal." he said his parting words completely dispersing into golden dust.

"Enemy Servant defeated. Victory is ours." Mash confirms the result against Romulus.

"I gotta say, that was amazing what you did there, Aniki." Cu compliments Nexus, "I never thought you would think of a combination move with a Noble Phantasm."

"I took an opportunity. That's all." Nexus said modestly, "I figured with your flames could overcharge my lightning combining with Saber's Excalibur Morgan could clear a path. Didn't expect that it didn't just drill through those splinters but exploded on contact."

"A combination, huh…" Saber Alter mutters smirking in approval, "Not bad."

"It was an enormous that I've felt from that blast.

"For an opportunity, it did turn the tide of this battle." Jeanne said, "It was an amazing feat for you to come up with that idea without planning."

"It wasn't a plan. I just took that opportunity. Besides, it's my first time to ever put a move with someone else." he looks at his hands in thought clenching, "It's a strange experience…" he spoke softly like it was nothing.

"Nexus…" Jeanne thought deeply into his words thinking that he never fought with anybody other than himself taking his hands looking at her with a questioned look, "Don't worry. No matter what battles you face, we will always be by your side. We are your Servants, after all." as the rest of his Servants nods in assurance staying by his side.

He stared at them for moment letting off a small smirk, "I see. Then I'll be looking forward to your help. All of you." he looks to everyone else, "But for now we need to find that mage and get the Grail."

"Yes!"

"Hmm? Hasn't the United Empire already ended?" Nero asked.

"True that it's over for you. But we need to go after the Grail and we're free to le-" he was about to finish his sentence sensing another presence approaching to a familiar green suit.

"You." the black-haired man coldly looks at him in a rude tone but a calm not letting much of his hate get to him.

"It's been a while Nexus. And to think that you've beaten Romulus." Lev greets him seeing a familiar face, "Hoh? I see that you've made a contract with black Saber. Not to mention a number of them. But a Servant is a Servant. You can never surpass the power of the Holy Grail." he holds up the Grail in his hands others shocked and a few with narrowed eyes.

"Is that the Court Mage?" Nero asked assuming what he was holding, "Then that golden chalice is-"

"Who would've thought that the Court Mage wouldn't matter if his king was in trouble. I guess betrayal is second nature to you, Lev." Roman comments.

"Spare me the small talk. Right now I'm preparing to clobber the bastard here." Nexus said in a threatening tone.

"I see that you've grown more irritating than our first meeting." Lev sneered.

""First meeting?" I wouldn't have remembered someone who'd be so shady to have a face you could punch at." this made Cu laugh and Saber smirk hearing Nexus's remark in a stoic face.

This made him grind his teeth even more, "I would've been back at the Temple but thanks to what you did in France, I got yelled at and sent back out to do some clean up. The plan to give the Grail to a fitting fool how it would turn out was now ruined thanks to you."

"Heeeehhh…so in the end your boss yelled at you and then you've come back to become a janitor, huh? You should be thankful." Nexus smirks, "You've just gotten yourself a promotion from a sap to something a human would do."

Lev growls in anger, "Shut it, trash! I never had high hopes for humans. You think you can stop me, Lev Lainur, just because you defeated a few Servants?"

"That's right." Nexus bluntly answers without hesitation for Lev to click his tongue in irritation, "I honestly don't give a damn what your reasons are for destroying your humanity nor what you're after. What matters the most is that you're a traitor, even though that was expected, gives me a good excuse to kill the person I hate the most."

"Kill me? You? Your arrogance holds no bounds yet so narrow minded of you understand. Recover the Grail, repair the Singularity, protect humanity? Idiots. There's nothing you can do. There's no point in struggling. The end is certain. You're insignificant! All of you will perish in sorrow!"

"You shouldn't talk, it makes you sound stupid." Nexus smirks insulting Lev gritting his teeth in anger, "You see this is why you're the janitor. All you do is clean up. Nobody cares what you say or how far you struggle, it's all the same. It's not like they'd sit and wait for the end to come just because you said it. They only struggle because they have faith to change. You betrayed humanity because you never had any faith. Because you admit that it's the end." he turns to Lev with his bangs covering his eyes.

"Humanity's end can wait…" as the black-haired man begins to crack his knuckles glaring at him, "But I'll make sure that you won't be the first to see it."

The glare stiffened the Court Mage from Nexus's intimidation showing no signs of weakness, no sign of fear, only the look of his eyes for the intent to kill. Which only makes him angry refusing to back down, "You trash. Do you have any grasp of the situation!? I'll show you the favor of our King!" he holds the Grail high beginning to glow in a blinding light.

What the dying reveals to be a giant, grotesque, creature towering above them with four pointed pupiled red eyeballs protruding around that almost made everyone revolt seeing such a disgusted looking thing.

"What's that creature!? It's ugly! You're uglier than anything of this world!" Nero shouts consciously from a disgusted thing,

"Hahahaha! That's right! That ugliness will be your undoing!" Lev's voice were echoed throughout the room.

"I think it's a bit too late to undo your ugliness away." Nexus remarked seeing huge amounts of magical energy in his eye filled with abnormal colors of red, black, and purple. "Guess you ended up being demoted back to sap."

"This magical energy…" Roman has a hint of fear from his voice to witness something incomprehensible, "That's not a Servant, not even a Phantasmal! Could that be an actual "Demon" from the legends!?"

"Demon, huh?" Nexus thought looking at the creature, "True, I get the impression from it's color and grotesque looks would be from a demon."

"Allow me to introduce myself again. I am Lev Lainor "Flauros!"" the creature "Lev" claims to be as "Flauros." "One of the 72 Demon God Pillars! The true favor of our King!"

"I'd rather not join a cult that would turn to a disgusting giant, no thank you." Nexus puts his hand up rejectingly.

"Flauros…he said to be the 72 Demon Gods. Then that their king is…" Roman's voice was shaking struggling to accept this, "No, that's impossible, Demon Gods don't exist!" denying that it's isn't real as the Demon God Pillar screeches with their glinted eyes.

"Everyone scatter!" Nexus calls out everyone jumping off their location before it exploded on impact.

"We don't what this thing is, but thinking about won't solve anything! What matters is that we gotta take this thing out and fast!" Nexus speeds in dodging more explosive smog in its way shooting a strong fireball at its eye reacting extremely as all eyes are focused on him bringing more smog (or whatever those demon pillars attack with) focused on him as he keeps dodging.

"Attack while it's distracted on me!"

"Yes!" all of the Servants are noted engaging the demon god to attack wherever they can leading other eyes to target at them projecting laser bombs at them avoiding it.

"Master! The damage we've inflicted on the demon god is starting to regenerate." Mash reports seeing the cuts and damage of the pillar slowly closing.

He figures that this Demon God won't be easy to kill from its regeneration. But it's a slow process given how the magical energy is trying to conserve. "We'll just have to shred it to its last bits before that happens." as to having regenerative powers sustainable but not fast as his healing rate.

"Everyone, all of you to inflict as many damage as fast as you can! Let's make sure that we'll shred this thing down until it can no longer heals!"

"Yes!" everyone has gotten their orders and advice picking up their speed attacking the Demon Pillar as it glints once more casting a large area of smog to cover them for everyone to jump over while Caster keeps in distance firing at the demon.

Everyone attacks the Demon Pillar with slashes, pierces, burns, and bashes of all directions landing and begins to continue their assault to the pillars beginning to shrivel.

As Nero runs to the Pillar one last time with Mash using her shield to boost her up and Nexus running to it with electrical eyes generating electricity.

"Get your ugliness-" Nero inflames her sword to the demon and Nexus increases his electrical power.

"OFF OF MY ROME!" both of them does a synchronized attack with Nero's fire blade cutting through the top and Nexus flashes plunging through its bottom with a flying kick leaving a gap from the pillar slowly dissipating.

"We've defeated the enemy lifeform Master!" Mash confirms no sign of the Demon God Pillar.

"It isn't over yet! Don't let your guard down!" Nexus warns as there's still Lev kneeling down. They've already defeated this "Demon God" but Lev's still here.

"Right!"

"Impossible…" Lev grunts in pain thinking of what just happened, "A mere Heroic Spirit and a Master could repel on of the "Gods?""

"Gods is nothing more than an entitlement. You're just overestimating yourself." Nexus stated bluntly to him.

"No, this must be a simple miscalculation." he denies, "It's been too long since I left the Temple. My cells are starting to die off."

"Now you're just making excuses. And you're saying that this "Temple" you speak of would get you all well and good?"

"Don't push your luck. I was entrusted to incinerate the future. Do you think I didn't have a contingency plan for this?" as Lev finished his sentence he couldn't see Nexus's fist coming contact to his face dropping the Grail to the wall leaving a fractured crater.

"I assume so. But I just wanted to punch your face. Don't blame me, blame your mother that gave you that creepy face."

"That's really cruel of you, Nexus…" Roman comments.

"Nexus! You can't just blame someone else's mother just from their looks! You need to apologize." Jeanne scolds at Nexus sighs exasperatedly.

"Fine, I take that back what I just said. So instead blame yourself being born with that face."

"Not the kind of apology I was expecting. W-well I suppose that's good enough." Jeanne sweatdrops reluctantly accepting when Roman suddenly interrupts.

"Be careful, Nexus! I'm detecting the Grail's activation! Something's going to happen!"

Nexus senses the Grail activating once more gathering abundant of magical energy. 'It still has some energy left?' hearing Lev chuckle weakly.

"By sacrificing Rome, I have managed to summon the strongest hero." he proclaims in a weak voice now that his victory was assured, "As this one will truly fit the demise of Rome. See it with your own eyes, the end of your world Come, Altera!" as the Grail starts to float up with an intense glow releasing a pillar of light making everyone back off getting into stances as the light dies down revealing a figure.

The figure to be a young woman with white veil-like hair. A slender body wearing that doesn't much of her 80% skin exposed by white tattoo markings holding a rainbow-like sword that matches the mark on her forehead. She opens her red eyes in a stoic face that has an impression who has no soul only to be carried out to destroy.

Lev starts to laugh manically, "Hahahahahaha! It's over! This Servant is the ultimate destroyer! Now kill them-"

"Silence." the cold, stoned words came out from the maiden's mouth leaving the man confused as she instantly cuts him in half making everybody shocked.

"Damn, well good riddance, at least." Nexus lost his chance to kill him regrettably.

"He…He was cut in half by the Servant he summoned! Her True Name is Altera! She must be a Saber!" Mash states confirms the Servant's class, "Altera has the Grail! She's absorbing it!"

Altera held the Grail being absorbed by her as it fuses inside her, "I am. The warrior of the Hun. I am the King of Destruction who destroyed the western world." Her sword starts to turn itself beginning to emit a rainbow glow as Nexus detects mana spiking into it.

"Nexus, I've got a bad feeling about this!" Nero shouts as she wasn't wrong about that since she's about to fire her Noble Phantasm.

"Huge spike in her magical energy signature!" Roman exclaims, "It must be her Noble Phantasm, an Anti-Fortress level at that!"

"Master!" Mash and Jeanne shouts in unison to Nexus.

"Deploy your defensive Noble Phantasm, now!"

"Yes!" as they both deployed their Noble Phantasms fortifying their defense around everyone and Nexus casting a large, transparent earth shield in front.

"Cu put protection rune on this!" Nexus shouts to Caster.

"Alright!" Caster Cu adds protective rune for another layer.

"I am divine punishment itself. The Scourge of God." Altera gets into her stance as her sword starts to increase the spinning of the speed generating an intense rainbow aura.

Photon Ray: Sword of the War God

She pointed her sword to the group lunging her sword firing a giant rainbow beam into a drilling motion like a shooting star.

"EVERYBODY HANG ON!" Nexus shouted everyone holds onto each other for the War God's sword drilling into the four-layered shields. Being that the power is so intense instantly breaking two layers of the shield only struggling to regain their last two as Nexus pushes his elemental shield to resist with Mash and Jeanne fortifying with their skills.

The gate was kicked down from Boudica leading the raid realizing that Nexus's group another shield breaking through to their last as she quickly aids them calling her Noble Phantasm to shield them as they were being pushed back further to the rear so fast that they ended up crashing out from the capital pushing them all the way farther from the outer wall of the United Empire crashing down.

Hey guys! Sorry about the updates taking too long...just struggling on life here. But I want to finish Septem as quickly as possible. I've been wanting to write the Pluribus Unum. And I couldn't get Eresh back then but it's all good. I know, I know, I'm not good at writing fights like these since I was imaging prime ones. But look forward to more chapters. It'll take a while. But I'm finishing the conclusion for this Singularity.
