I'm genuinely enjoying the fic so far. The concept of not just isakai'ing as Mordred but having the servant as an Ignition weapon is new and awesome to me. It's been a while since I read Tower of God but I genuinely believe Mordred could defeat rankers and hold her own against them. But then again, it's just my opinion. Thank you for your awesome work, author-san!! Looking forward to more.

LIKEYes, well, Mordred is very strong. But when I think back to the fight with Kaiser in TOG, and the feats of other top Regulars around the time of the Name Hunt Station (after numerous power-ups already happened in the story ), Mordred's strength would probably reach around that level, the level of Kaiser maximum. A Servant's top movement speed would normally just be Supersonic, just around the speed of sound/handgun bullet, among other things, and the Regulars' speed and destructive feats there seem similar to Servants from a Holy Grail War. Either way, it's only an estimate. By this estimate, the MC simply can't fight Rankers at least AT THE VERY START. It's at least that. That's not including his overpowered Noble Phantasm. We also have to know remember that all Regulars are like bugs to any Ranker, so a Ranker at full strength would probably be around at least ten times that. PS: more than 95% of Ranker's strength probably comes from Shinsoo, so I hope people don't look at Quant as an example of a Ranker's strength (and he still out-blitzed Endorsi when being serious just with his body alone, actually). I just felt it's a chance to comment. The picture below is of Ran's attack on the station, destroying the bridge and monsters on top of it, and he isn't even the among the top of D-rank Regulars, and it isn't his strongest attack, but compare it to a Servant's non-NP attacks... The MC is extremely strong for a beginner... But the Tower scales up quickly, where the speed of sound and raw strength of a Servant becomes unexceptional, probably. It doesn't matter much that he can't instantly fight Rankers though, since he won't do that before training.
