10 What.

I could say that everything went exactly as planned.

First, Caster brought them to her own Reality Marble. Then I made illusions of the ones closest to them.

Well, in the case of Berserker, something to stall him.

The servants did exactly what I wanted.

Berserker was fooled to stab Rider. Rider was stalled to be put in position. Saber's Excaliblast annihilated Rider and Berserker. Gilgamesh's Enuma Elish killed Lancer and Saber. And finally, Lancer's throw killed Gilgamesh.

Thus, five of the seven servants are dead.

"Now, wasn't that fun?" I turned towards the masters seated at a long table.

Caster was by my side drinking her own cup of tea.

Kayneth was livid. Waver was quivering in his seat. Kiritsugu and Maia sat up rigidly, their eyes filled with panic.

And Irisviel... Who was writhing in pain.

"Ah, I knew I forgot something."

Yep. I forgot about the Angry Man Jew.

The thing that got stuck in the Grail.

"Caster, you can take down the Reality Marble now."

"Okay Master!" The surroundings cracked and broke like a mirror.

The masters were still seated.

"Now, what to do with you." I slowly moved towards Irisviel.

Before I could even get near her, black sludge began to pour out from her body.

Without any hesitation, I formed a barrier, isolating the mud from the rest of the world.

"W-w-what is that?!" Waver shrieked.

"That is the product of the Grail. During the Third War, the Einzberns tried to summon the Zoroastrian God of evil. They got the one who was made to bear all the sins of the word. In short, the grail is corrupted. Any wish you make will result in the destruction of humanity."

With my impromptu lesson, the eyes of the present masters widened.

Then something tried to poke my neck.

Looking down, I saw a dirk clattering on the ground.

And I also forgot about Assassin.

I sighed deeply. With a snap of my finger, 99 orbs of light rose to the air and scattered into different directions.

Assassin was Hassan of the Hundred Face. One was killed by Gilgamesh, and now the rest will follow.

Looking back to Irisviel, the Grail has now manifested.

Which is weird because it's only supposed to manifest in Either in the Fuyuki Temple, The City Hall, The Hyatt Hotel, or Below Mt. Enzo. And the docks is nowhere near the four.

Then, a slightly crazy idea popped into my head.

I craned my neck and looked at Nursery Rhyme.

"Hey Rhyme, have you decided on my offer?"

Nursery Rhyme looked at me before smiling.

"I have chosen. I will follow Chris!"

I smiled. Taking out my queen piece, I moved towards Caster.

Under the watchful eyes of the other masters, I pushed my Queen Piece on Nursery Rhyme's chest.

Then, a magic circle with my clan crest bloomed under Nursery Rhyme before fading.

"With this, you are now a part of my peerage."

Nursery Rhyme didn't say anything, but she gave me a bone crushing hug.

"O-okay! Rhyme! Air!" I slowly extracted myself away from her.

Then, I turned back to the Grail and the black mud.

"I know you can hear me, and I know you know what I did with Caster. I extend the same offer to you."

The black mud stilled. Then it rushed back to the grail.

Smiling, I approached to Golden cup. Taking out a bishop piece, I pushed it inside the barrier and placed it above the cup.

As soon as the Bishop Piece vanished within the cup, a blinding flash of light came from the Grail.

When my vision turned to normal, what greeted me was... unexpected.

For there, standing in front of me, is Justeaze in a corrupted Dress of Heaven.

Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern, the core of the Holy Grail. How?! Where's Avenger?!

Justeaze stretched, causing her assets to bounce.

"Hnnnngg... Glad to have a body back." Justeaze(?) then smiled at me. "What now, master?"

"Now? Now we go home." I opened a portal back to my home dimension.

F*ck.

I'll raid Father's alcohol stash because that did not just happened.
