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

"How...how is this possible!" Gilgamesh's surprise wasn't that he couldn't break the Chains of Heaven, but rather how Jiang You could possibly possess this Trap Card with the effect of his best friend. "This is the manifestation of my and Enkidu's history, how could it be in your hands! Who are you!?"

"Just an ordinary duelist passing by." Almost everyone had been curious about Jiang You's identity, and Jiang You had begun to get used to it, even starting to make jokes. "As for why he ended up in my hands? I'm looking for the reason myself. Maybe Enqidu also disapproves of you now?"

"What nonsense are you spouting, you insect!" Gilgamesh couldn't believe Enkidu would betray him to help his enemy. But he also sensed something was amiss, and his next words carried a hint of reassurance: "Stop trying to sow discord!"

"Then why didn't Enqi respond to you?" Jiang You pointed out the problem. "You know, in other timelines, Enqi would come running whenever you called."

"Now your backcourt is also blocked. May I ask this bastard who is two-thirds god and one-third human—how exactly did you manage to achieve this bloodline ratio?" Jiang You had long wanted to complain about Gilgamesh's bloodline; it simply did not conform to the laws of genetics.

However, asking Gilgamesh for an answer would likely yield no results; he would simply answer with his omnipotent divine power. So Jiang You returned to the duel: "Do you have any Servants that can be Normal Summoned, like Kirei Kotomine or Tokiomi Tohsaka, or... Siduri?"

Gilgamesh simply stared silently at his hand, making no move; clearly, none of the cards in his hand could be summoned.

"Then let's begin my turn." Jiang You took the initiative to end Gilgamesh's action and took his turn. "My turn, draw a card!"

"First, I'll open the cover card, [Intelligence Gathering]! Disable and destroy [Dawn of Destruction]!"

"Since we're all going to leave anyway, I might as well take the initiative and release it!" Gilgamesh activated the effect of [Dawn of Destruction], which negates the effect of one Spell/Trap Card. [Dawn of Destruction] was released before being destroyed.

Gilgamesh's attack power increased from 5000 to 4500.

"It's so good that the troublesome thing is solved!" Jiang You smiled and held up the card in his hand. "Do you know why I made room for that card?"

Gilgamesh looked at the card in Jiang You's hand, which he was so familiar with that his pupils shrank rapidly.

"Of course it's because you're such a jerk! Mr. Bastard!"

Chapter 116 Enqi even wore a look of disgust...

"I will offer two [Hundred Faces] as sacrifices to summon [Gilgamesh]!" Jiang You did not have a special means to summon Gilgamesh, so he did not create any more Berserkers, but left them on the field as materials for the superior summon.

"Impossible!" Gilgamesh couldn't believe his eyes. How could he, the oldest hero-king, be included in the deck of a heroic spirit who didn't even dare to reveal his name? "Insect, you must be lying to me!"

"You've played this so many times, don't you know whether it's fake or not?" The golden servant emerged from the light. "If you don't believe me, open your eyes and see for yourself!"

【Gilgamesh】Attack Power 3000

“…Caster, although I acknowledge your great work of saving the world, it doesn’t mean you can order me around at will.” The Gilgamesh summoned this time is not a clone, but another intelligent individual.

"Although I roughly expected it, I didn't expect it to actually be you." Jiang You realized that his Gilgamesh (hereinafter referred to as the Fourth War Gilgamesh) was the same individual from the previous scenario. "This time we really need you to solve some problems. Take a look at who the opponent is, don't be too surprised."

"What else could it be? I've even defeated Beast. What else could surprise me...???"

The Fourth Flash quickly sensed something amiss with Gilgamesh's body; more accurately, he felt a sense of nausea. However, he couldn't pinpoint the cause. "Another version of myself can actually make this king feel disgusted… One version of myself in this world is enough! Where did this Faker come from?"

"How dare you call me Faker?" Gilgamesh, who possesses all the original texts of the Noble Phantasms (as he calls himself), cannot accept this title; he should be the copyright holder. "A fellow who submits to a mere insect is the one who is Faker! In heaven and on earth, I alone reign supreme! And you are simply not!"

"Caster! Let me kill him!" The Fourth War Flash was indeed somewhat dissatisfied with being controlled by Jiang You, but he had encountered this kind of thing many times with Beast, and he had some respect for Jiang You's ability to defeat Beast. Therefore, his pent-up anger was transferred to Gilgamesh.

"Don't worry, I'll activate the effect of [Gilgamesh], place [King's Treasure] from the deck to the backfield, and equip two Noble Phantasms to Gilgamesh."

Gilgamesh's attack power increased from 3000 to 4000.

"Okay, I'll cover a card in the last position in the backcourt and end my turn."

"Caster, why Caster?" Si Zhan Shan couldn't understand why Jiang You wasn't taking action when victory could be achieved simply by attacking.

In the current situation, it is indeed possible to kill Gilgamesh directly by spreading out the King's Treasure, but Jiang You does not intend to end it like this. The Four War Flashes cannot directly break Gilgamesh's defense, and the real killer move is still to come.

“I don’t have that kind of bond with you. I need to wait until next turn to summon it,” Jiang You explained. He planned to use a guaranteed draw next turn to lock in that card.

"I see." Si Zhan Shan understood that Jiang You was referring to the card, so he looked at Gilgamesh with ill intent. He could sense that something was wrong, let alone Gilgamesh. "Now it's obvious who Faker is."

"How dare you treat me like this!" Jiang You, who had been dominating the game but refusing to attack, his playful demeanor only fueled Gilgamesh's already irritation. "My turn, draw a card!"

"I will make you pay the price for your arrogance!" Gilgamesh slammed down the card he had just drawn. "I activate [Elixir of Immortality]. You're very unlucky, you insect! I already have my Servant card in my starting hand. I Special Summon a second [Gilgamesh] from my Graveyard!"

"Don't rush." ​​The second Gilgamesh wasn't sealed, so any Noble Phantasms on the field could be used as ammunition to destroy it. Therefore, Jiang You wouldn't allow him to successfully summon it. "I release [Dawn of Ruin] to nullify its effects!"

The elixir of immortality was knocked over by the blasting Noble Phantasm, and Gilgamesh's resurrection was interrupted.

Gilgamesh LP4000→3500

"Shall we continue?" Jiang You asked knowingly. Gilgamesh hadn't taken any action last round, and the result would be the same this round. The only difference was that this time there was still one free magic/trap slot available for a little maneuver.

"I will set a card to my back row and end my turn." Gilgamesh hesitated for a long time between using [Gate of Babylon] to fill a [Dawn of Destruction] with a negated spell/trap card and setting [Chains of Heaven] to his back row, but finally chose to set [Chains of Heaven] to his back row.

He wanted to block the effect of the Four War Flashes in the same way as Jiang You.

"I will end my turn." If he seals the Four War Flash at the start of his turn, he can withstand Jiang You's offensive with his higher attack power.

After all, he also possesses the [Original Text - Durandal] which grants immunity to battle damage, and the [Original Text - Dasserin] which grants immunity to one instance of Servant destruction.

"My turn, draw a card!" Jiang You activated his destined draw, and both Gilgamesh's sensed the familiar aura of the earth in the cards in his hand.

"I activate the Chains of Heaven..." Gilgamesh knew he couldn't delay any longer and immediately activated the Chains of Heaven.

Unfortunately, Jiang You had already made preparations. "It's useless. [Intelligence Collection] Second one! It's invalid for me!"

"Damn it!!!!" Every time Gilgamesh made a move, Jiang You just happened to stop him. Gilgamesh knew that Jiang You had already thoroughly figured out his cards and patterns.

"Hahahaha, Faker, your ugly behavior is truly laughable!" Four-Flash didn't miss the chance to mock himself.

"Stop gloating! This insect is so familiar with my deck, and even has my cards. It must be you, Faker, who did this! I don't think even you, Faker, have ever beaten him!"

The fourth war flash was silenced instantly, this is indeed a fact.

"In that case, it's time to end it! I activate [Delusion] to Special Summon the two [Hundred Faces] in the graveyard again, and then—people of the world, I hope to chain the gods!"

The earth (determined by the duel space) slowly bulged, forming a human figure, and the Servant representing the earth and life descended from it.

[Enzidu] Attack Power 2500

“My dearest friend, how could my dearest friend be in your deck?” Gilgamesh looked even more incredulous, even though Enki hadn’t responded to his summons.

"I sensed an extremely powerful malice... Gil, you look really... ugly." Enki immediately saw through Gilgamesh's true nature as flesh and blood of the black mud. No matter how realistic the body looked, it was still overflowing with intense malice.

"Not only that, he also did a lot of good things..." Jiang You recounted the parts of the FSN storyline he knew, focusing on the child generating electricity and the plan to release the black mud.

Given Gilgamesh's temperament, he certainly didn't deny it.

“This kind of thing… Jill, I take back what I said before, it’s not just ugly, it’s filthy.” Enzi shook his head with a look of disappointment.

Gilgamesh instinctively covered his face; his best friend's assessment sent a shiver down his spine. He wanted to retort, but for some reason, he couldn't utter a word. In Enkidu

"Yes, I am the real best friend, he is just a Faker imitating me!"

“Jill, he really is you, you should know that, right?” Enki didn’t give his best friend any face at all; he knew his best friend too well. “If Caster hadn’t appeared, given your personality at this time, you would only know how to make yourself happy. You would indeed have become like him.”

"So, I've come to make amends for my mistake?" Gilgamesh felt somewhat embarrassed. He knew what kind of person he was; Enchi was absolutely right. "Caster, send this disgusting fellow back!"

"[King's Treasure] Effect! Replenish Gilgamesh's equipment to three pieces!"

[Four Wars Flash] Attack power 3500→4500

"Then, let's see who has the most Noble Phantasms!" Fourth Holy Grail challenged himself.

"The first one!"

Gilgamesh knew defeat was inevitable, but he still instinctively struggled. [Original Text - Dasserin] was unleashed, and their Noble Phantasms canceled each other out.

"Second round!"

Now Gilgamesh was unable to stop it, and he and the two equipment cards behind him were sent to the graveyard.

Gilgamesh LP3000→LP2500

Of course, killing someone requires destroying their heart, so Jiang You issued a declaration to kill.

"Final blow! [Enkidu] launches a direct attack on Gilgamesh!"

"At least, at least with my own strength!" Gilgamesh shouted with his last breath.

"I hope that next time I see you, someone worthy of being called a 'wise king'." Gilgamesh's last sight of Enchi was one filled with disgust.

Gilgamesh LP2500 → LP0!

Chapter 117 Emiya Shirou: This doesn't seem to be my business, does it?

"My dearest friend! My dearest friend!" The dark hand representing the Dark Games grabbed Gilgamesh. Having lost two duels in a row, he had no strength left to resist. He was thus dragged slowly into the darkness.

This was the first Servant to have his soul stripped away due to the Dark Game. All the previous Servant killed in the Dark Game were magicians who could produce Soul Crystals. Jiang You was curious about what would happen if a Servant was killed in this way.

As it turned out, nothing happened.

"No, Gilgamesh is more valuable than the Magician, isn't he?" Jiang You was quite disappointed. Although he had also added Gilgamesh's deck, such as the [Elixir of Immortality] which has a very useful effect similar to Monster Resurrection, he should at least produce some extra items.

"Ilya, he won." Minamoto no Yorimitsu kindly reminded Ilya, noticing that he hadn't paid attention to the duel that would affect the entire city.

"As expected, that golden guy has lost to him many times already." Ilya was searching for the magician with the star; she was currently ranked fourth, which was a bit dangerous. All those magicians had some trump cards up their sleeves, and the third-ranked magician was an unknown one.

Jason jumped to second place because he took Gilgamesh's star.

"Now that he's already here, why don't you go see him directly?" Don't let Minamoto no Yorimitsu's Berserker status fool you; she has an A+ riding ability, and even with modern tools, she could easily catch up with Jiang You. "Someone that little Ilya cares about so much, I want to see him too, Mom."

There was a certain danger in Minamoto no Raikou's eyes. Although she would try her best to satisfy Ilya's needs, her terrifying possessiveness also made her regard Jiang You as an enemy who would take away her child.

“Since he wants to play this way, I’ll abide by his rules.” Ilya looked in Vimona’s direction. “If I win, he won’t have anything to say, right? I’ll definitely teach him a lesson then!”

“But there’s a problem.” Ilya placed her hand over her heart, the core of her existence as the Lesser Grail. “Gilgamesh should be a Servant left over from the previous generation, unlike Jason and the temporary Servants summoned by Jiang You. He is a soul that can descend as the Greater Grail, but why haven’t I collected any souls?”

Elijah had a bad feeling. He was afraid that someone was causing trouble again in this Holy Grail War.

"If I had known it was this simple, I would have started the Dark Game back then!" Jason said in hindsight, admitting that he wouldn't have dared to risk his soul to fight Gilgamesh under those circumstances.

"Caster can use other people's decks?...No, there are quite a few Assassin cards too, and some I don't recognize..." Rin Tohsaka looked at the cards in Jiang You's hand, which came from at least three different Servants and Masters, and made notes. To defeat Jiang You, she had to win his duel first. The intelligence room was extremely important.

Now that the matter was resolved, Jason had no plans to stay here any longer. He didn't want to be in such close contact with Medea for such a long time. Given Medea's personality, the chances of him being turned into a puppet were very high. He secretly pulled Rin Tousaka, hoping to sneak away while Medea was watching the live broadcast.

It turned out that he was right, because the moment he turned around, a dagger pierced his back.

"Jason!" Rin Tohsaka wanted to unleash a jewel magic attack to retaliate, but Medea was prepared and restrained her with binding magic.
