Why bother with the Holy Grail War? Let's play cards!

The bullet, imbued with the concept of cutting and combining, pierced through the copied Illya, transforming her into a card and sending it back to Beast's hand.

"How impatient. Because of the effect of [BeastⅣ], the attack and defense will not change at all. I will attack the face-down card myself!" Beast directly entered the battle phase and swung its tail at the face-down card of Emiya Kiritsugu, which was almost an open card.

As the card flipped, Emiya Kiritsugu appeared in the battle area with blood on his mouth. Looking at the attacking giant beast servant, Emiya Kiritsugu raised his gun and fought back.

[Emiya Kiritsugu] Defense 1200

"How is this possible? Why hasn't Kiritsugu's defense decreased?" Illya, who had returned to the spectator stands, sensed something was wrong. Because of the effect of [Non-Primate Survival Zone], Kiritsugu Emiya's defense should only be 200. With only 1000 LP left, Beast's suicidal act must be part of some conspiracy!

"Don't be surprised, the units that fight me will recover their original attack and defense power!"

Jiang You naturally understood her actions; he could see all the effects of [BeastⅣ]. Besides the three known effects, there were also:

It will not be destroyed by battle effects.

This card is unaffected by the effects of Trap Cards and Spell Cards.

Battle damage inflicted to you in battle with this card is converted into double effect damage, which is borne by your opponent.

At the end of the Damage Step of a battle with this card, banish that card and Special Summon it to your side of the field in Attack Position during your next Standby Phase.

"A total of 1200 points of combat damage, but due to my effect, it will become 2400 points of effect damage to be borne by the opponent! My dear, take your final bow! May you have an eternal dream." Beast moved his body forward, only to find that he was still bound to the combat area by the duel rules.

"How can it be……"

"[Origin Bullet] Effect: Banish this card from the Graveyard and negate the damage from this effect!" The second effect of Origin Bullet was revealed to everyone for the first time.

Chapter Sixty [The Arrival Beyond Dimensions]

The finishing blow effect was successfully negated, but Jiang You only had one lone [Snow City] card left on the field.

“Then, I will conclude my turn.” Beast always used a humble form of address in front of Jiang You.

“As expected of my darling, but do you have a way to break through my defenses?” Beast looked at Jiang You, her golden eyes beneath her veil gleaming with a terrifying light. She licked her lips, wagged her tail, and opened her arms to Jiang You. “Why don’t I embrace you instead? Come and sleep in my arms, and I will give you wonderful dreams.”

Looking at the soft tufts of fur on Beast's chest, Jiang You couldn't help but take a few steps back.

The resistance of [BeastⅣ] is undeniably strong; even [Romulus Quirinus] cannot directly break through it.

Jiang You does have a way to break through, which is to rely on [Justisia], but all the servants in the graveyard have been excluded by Beast. Even if Beast has not excluded them, the effect of [Bitter Choice] will exclude all servants.

Moreover, [Justisisa] was already in the exclusion zone. Even if he had the means to mobilize the exclusion zone, he couldn't summon it.

Although he barely blocked the final blow, as Beast said, he had no means of breaking through.

Duelists must trust their own decks, but they are destined to have no chance of winning after one draw, and it is an absolute dead end.

Or...how about a quick five-speed victory? Just start over, it's just a game.

"I'm really cornered. So I'll vote..."

Just as Jiang You was about to raise his hands to surrender, someone called him.

“Caster!” It was a boy’s voice. Jiang You didn’t recognize it, but there was only one boy he knew here.

"Kongming, what brings you here?" Jiang You asked, looking at Weber who was rushing towards him with a puzzled expression.

“We’ve come to your aid, not just me and the teacher!” Weber pointed to the densely packed figures behind him. “Everyone’s here!”

"Hmph! My Servant is fighting here, how can I, as his Master, not lend him a hand? This great undertaking of saving the world will surely add a chapter to my resume." Kenneth had also come to provide support, because the duel that Jiang You had started had stopped the generation of all monsters and clones, giving everyone a chance to catch their breath.

It just seems that there is no room for him to perform.

Kiritsugu Emiya dragged his tired body and nodded to Jiang You. He had placed explosives nearby as his last insignificant backup.

"Because of your Noble Phantasm, most of the survivors have survived. They are very grateful to you. They originally wanted to use a duel to hold back other forces and lend you a hand, but in the current situation, it's really useless. So at least let them come and support you!" Waver looked at the solemn expressions of the Heroic Spirits present and knew that Jiang You was in dire straits. "I promised the King of Conquerors that I would live to carry on his story, so don't lose!"

"Caster! Don't lose!"

"You must avenge the dead, Caster!"

"Caster! You're going to win!"

"Caster!"

"Caster..."

"Caster..."

These were the cries of the survivors. They had been through hell and knew the value of hope. In the most desperate moments, it was Jiang You who had given them the power to resist with his Noble Phantasm. They didn't know Jiang You's exact name, but countless voices were calling out for him, pinning their hopes on him.

“Caster!” Romulus opened his arms. “Rome will believe in you to the very end!”

"Master!" The Hundred Faces, who was not wearing a mask, bowed to Jiang You. "Every one of us 'Hundred Faces' will stand with you until the very end. No matter what you choose, we were born for you and we will die for you!"

"Jiang You!" Ilya called out his name clearly, her small hands clutching her chest tightly. "You promised to come back and help me in ten years, don't give up!"

"Really..." Jiang You watched as everyone shouted his name. The realistic scene resonated with him, and in order not to waste this cutscene, he decided to continue the duel to the very end. "Let's put an end to this duel, regardless of the winner or loser."

The moment Jiang You touched the deck, a cry from the depths of his soul came from within the deck.

This is a premonition that is a hundred times stronger than the divine draw of Jeanne d'Arc.

It's like there's a card in the deck that is his flesh and blood, a derivative of him, and the convergence of all hope.

The affected entities will generate corresponding card decks based on their own legends, experiences, and possibilities. This is a quote from Jiang You's Treasure.

Then, this is the card belonging to the "heroic spirit" Jiang You!

"A card outside the deck... Beast, you said this is fate, right?" Jiang You gripped his deck, and the card he was destined to draw was linked to. Gold, red and blue light wrapped around his fingertips.

The magic power began to surge. The magic power exceeding the total amount of the spiritual vein condensed in Jiang You's hands. The huge amount of magic power was so thick that it seemed to freeze time. As Jiang You drew the card, time began to flow little by little!

"Then this is fate! It's my turn, draw a card!"

"I activate the Spell Card [Appointment Beyond Dimensions]! If I cannot counter this card's activation effect, I Special Summon as many banished Servants as possible from the banished zone as possible, ignoring the Summoning conditions. This Summon is considered a regular Summon!" This is a card illustration of a black-haired youth walking in the void, with countless worlds floating around him.

"Come forth, heroic spirits, this is the battle to save the world!" Jiang You raised his card high, and the heroic spirits responded to his call! They descended like shooting stars!

【Justisa】Attack Power 0

[Romulus Quirinus] Attack Power 4000

[Joan of Arc] Attack power 2500

[Illya (Heavenly Clothes)] Attack Power 2500 → 2000

【Gilgamesh】Attack Power 3000

"Because of [Yustissa]'s effect, [Non-Primate Survival Zone] must be banished!" Now, only her original card remains on Beast's field.

[Yustisa] Attack Power 0 → 500

[Illya (Heavenly Clothes)] Attack Power 2000 → 3000

"Ah~ that's really scary." Beast looked at the impressive lineup on the field and stopped wagging her tail. She stubbornly insisted one last time, "But they still can't get past my defenses!"

"No, you've already lost!"

Jiang You shook his head slightly at her and continued his actions: "[Justisa]'s effect can copy the effect of one Servant on the field, and the Servant I want to copy is—"

"[Beast IV]!"

【Yustisa】500→0

Beast's already pale skin became even whiter; she already knew the outcome: "What are you going to do!?"

"That's right, [Justissa] attacks [Beast IV]! She has the same effect as you, and both of our banishment effects will be activated simultaneously!"

A golden Holy Grail emerged from Justisa's chest, and a warm golden light enveloped her and the Beast, sending them into the exclusion zone at the same time.

Beast returned to the main station area, and she no longer had any means of counterattack.

"Then, please accept the total of 11100 field attack, Beast! Our dance truly ends here!"

Amidst the golden spears of light, Beast let out a mournful cry.

□□LP1000→0!

Chapter Sixty-One: It has been decided that you will be the one to use the Holy Grail.

"Ah, I really can't beat you, after all, it's your 'rules'." Beast was firmly locked by a hand that reached out from the darkness, and even with her beastly spirit origin, she couldn't resist it in the slightest.

"So, did you have fun?" Unexpectedly, Beast asked this question.

Jiang You was taken aback, unsure whether the other person was asking about the Holy Grail War or the game itself. Although this collaboration was a bit ambiguous, Jiang You was still quite satisfied with the game: "It's alright, if I had to say, it's pretty fun. Wait, why would a BOSS ask such a question?"

"Really? That's good." Beast smiled but didn't answer, voluntarily disappearing into the darkness.

With the Beast's departure, a huge number of souls were released. The Beast's spiritual base seemed to act as a small holy grail, breaking the barrier of the world.

The azure hole connects to the inner side of the world, and a huge amount of magic power constitutes the so-called "Holy Grail".

"Didn't they say the Holy Grail was already corrupted?" Looking at the pure Holy Grail, Kiritsugu Emiya asked in bewilderment. He had confirmed Jiang You's Noble Phantasm multiple times; it was indeed a top-tier Noble Phantasm capable of connecting the past and future, and the Holy Grail had indeed been corrupted.

"The Beast's birth seems to have absorbed the filthy magic in the cup. After Caster defeated it, the magic also disappeared under the influence of the rules. So that's how it is. Such a huge amount of magic plus an effect similar to wishing magic can really be said to be 'wishes come true'." Waver explained to him, and soon he realized something was wrong.

There are still 4 heroic spirits on the field.

"No way! The fight for the Holy Grail is still going on!?"

“I think it’s no longer necessary.” Kenneth patted Waver on the shoulder, he was more aware of the current situation. “Everyone is still under the influence of Caster’s Noble Phantasm. With the existence of the ‘Beast’, even if the Magic Marshal hadn’t intervened, the Clock Tower wouldn’t have been able to suppress it with all its might. But Caster has won, and Lancer probably won’t intervene next. The other two Servants are also following Caster’s orders. He has already won.”

Romulus nodded in agreement with Kayneth's judgment, "Rome's duty has been fulfilled, and Caster deserves to be rewarded for his great deeds."

Lancelot and Baimao have already fulfilled their wishes in a sense, so they will not have any objections either.

"Actually, I'm quite curious whether the Holy Grail can affect the speed of the universe's expansion," Jiang You asked, somewhat recklessly.

"Wait, wait a minute!" Waver nearly stumbled, quickly stopping Jiang You's wild idea to prevent him from making any irreversible wish. "It's obviously impossible. Even if the Greater Grail can connect to the inner world, it's still something of this planet. The universe is far too vast!"

"So, shall I wish for the return of the Age of Gods? Actually, I'd really like to ride the Albion Dragon." Jiang You wanted to test the extent to which the Holy Grail could influence the world.

"It's precisely because the 'Great Source' has dried up that the Holy Grail exists! Using a substitute to fill the magical energy of the Age of Gods is simply impossible!" Waver had begun to doubt the value of the Caster class.

"Just hearing that makes him sound pretty weak... Did you hear that, Emiya Kiritsugu? Wishes that are too grand cannot be fulfilled." Jiang You changed the subject, pointing at his Master.

Kiritsugu Emiya never thought that Jiang You would mention him. The actual leader of their team has long been Jiang You. After all, Jiang You is not affected by the Command Seals, and Einzbern is actually supported by Jiang You.

"What are you standing there for?" Jiang You brought Emiya Kiritsugu to the Holy Grail. "Weren't you supposed to become an ally of justice?"

The system prompted Jiang You to make a wish to resurrect all the beings killed by the Beast's appearance. Since the souls within the Holy Grail hadn't truly departed, their presence would count towards the event. The dungeon was almost over, and Jiang You couldn't bring back any of his strange wishes, so he decided to increase the event rewards. So, he decisively became a partner of justice.
