"So, you're planning to hand the Security Force Police over to me?"
After dealing with the AA-ZEUS and TY-PHON and successfully storing them in his "Gate of Babylon," Zuke returned to the Security Force Police's headquarters—"Bridgehead."
And the moment he arrived, the Justifier informed him of his decision to transfer control of the Security Force Police to Zuke—they hoped to secure his protection in exchange.
After all, the incident with the AA-ZEUS and TY-PHON had served as a wake-up call—there were still many threats in the world that the Security Force Police simply couldn't handle.
Thus, their plan was simple: they would serve Zuke by offering their technology and resources, while he would provide them with security.
The Justifier's proposal was straightforward, and he made no attempt to hide his intentions, laying everything out clearly for Zuke.
As for the plan itself, Zuke saw no issue with it—exchanging protection for their loyalty was a win-win situation.
Of course, Zuke could have simply used his overwhelming power to force the Security Force Police into submission... but that would never earn him their genuine recognition as their "King."
Unfortunately, while Zuke's "King's Army" had undergone significant changes compared to Iskandar's Noble Phantasm, one core requirement remained unchanged—his subordinates had to sincerely acknowledge him as their ruler.
So, if Zuke wanted to incorporate "Bridgehead" into his "King's Army," he needed the Security Force Police to willingly accept him as their leader.
Thankfully, due to the threat posed by the AA-ZEUS and TY-PHON, the members of the Security Force Police were already deeply convinced of the security Zuke's power provided.
Thus, under the Justifier's persuasion, almost all of them swore allegiance to Zuke without hesitation.
Of course, a handful of individuals couldn't accept the sudden change in leadership and chose to leave—but they were no longer enough to influence the Security Force Police's overall direction.

"So, how does it feel to suddenly become the leader of the Security Force Police?"
In the office at Bridgehead, Sayomaru pushed the door open and walked in, glancing at Zuke, who was seated at the desk.
Zuke was browsing through the Security Force Police's classified intelligence on the computer—the Justifier had already transferred the highest authority to him.
Just as the Justifier had expected, Zuke had no intention of interfering with their operations. But since he'd taken them under his wing, he at least needed to familiarize himself with their intel.
"Nothing particularly special."
Zuke rubbed his temple and smiled at Koyomaru.
If this had been his first time taking over an organization, he might have felt some excitement... but it wasn't.
In terms of sheer scale, the Frieza Force was far larger than the Security Force Police—and Zuke had already brought them under his command. Compared to that, this was nothing noteworthy.
That said, the Security Force Police did have certain advantages over the Frieza Force—though their overall strength was still far inferior.

"By the way, how's the investigation I asked you to handle earlier?"
After obtaining the highest authority from the Justifier, Zuke had already sensed that he could incorporate Bridgehead into his "King's Army."
In other words, he could now access Bridgehead—and by extension, the Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Stories Chronicles world—through the "King's Army."
This meant that even if this Special Mission World reset, he could still return to it—no risk of losing contact permanently.
Once Bridgehead was integrated into the "King's Army," Zuke issued his first order to the Security Force Police:
"Investigate whether Bridgehead's spatial coordinates have been altered."
Since it now existed in both the "King's Army" and the Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Stories Chronicles world simultaneously, Zuke wanted to see if the Security Force Police's dimensional surveillance technology could detect any anomalies.
"Nothing. No results at all. The space around Bridgehead is completely stable."
Koyomaru shrugged and tossed a file onto Zuke's desk—a report compiled by the researchers after their spatial analysis.
Zuke skimmed through it, his eyes glazing over the dense, incomprehensible data before settling on the summary at the end.
In short: Bridgehead's internal and surrounding space showed no abnormalities whatsoever—everything was perfectly normal.
This surprised Zuke. He could clearly sense that the "King's Army" had successfully absorbed Bridgehead.
"Could it be that the Security Force Police's technology can't analyze the spatial effects of the 'King's Army'?"
After all, the "King's Army" was an ability from the Nasuverse—a mystical construct, not a technological one. It made sense that their instruments couldn't detect it.

With the Security Force Police now under his control, Zuke prepared to leave this world for the time being.
His primary objective—acquiring the AA-ZEUS and TY-PHON—had been achieved. If he needed anything else later, he could always return via the "King's Army."
Moreover, the Special Mission for this world had finally been completed.
[Current World: Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Stories Chronicles]
[Special Mission: Halt the operations of "Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder" or "Super Starslayer - TY-PHON"]
[Player Zuke's Synchronization Rate: 100%]
[Congratulations, Player Zuke! You have unlocked 100% Synchronization in Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Stories Chronicles!]
[You may select 1 reward to take from this world.]
[1. Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - AA-ZEUS]
[2. (Not Acquired)]
[3. (Not Acquired)]
This time, the mission rewards were unusual—only the first option (AA-ZEUS) was available, while the other two remained locked.
This meant the other rewards were either abilities, items, or even characters that Zuke hadn't encountered yet in this world.
"Hmm... I could just pick the first option and get a second AA-ZEUS."
At first, Zuke considered this—having two planet-destroying fortresses wasn't a bad deal.
But then he reconsidered. Wouldn't it be a waste to claim the reward now without even knowing what the other options were?
"...Better hold off for now. This selection screen won't disappear—I can always come back later and explore more to unlock the other rewards."
In the end, Zuke decided to delay his choice.
As long as he didn't select a reward, the interface would remain available indefinitely. He could always return and claim it later if needed.
"If I ever really need a second AA-ZEUS, I can just take it then."
