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

However, Medea still helped Jiang You confirm some things, such as that Jiang You was actually a compassionate guy who would not kill people indiscriminately or let the world be destroyed. It was just that sometimes no one could understand what he was thinking.

Ai Lei felt that it was necessary to observe Jiang You for a while: "Then let's wait until the matter of Uruk is settled. I'm not sure how much truth you're telling. Look, the people here haven't been affected. The destruction of a timeline is nothing to you. If you can do what you promised, I will agree to make an appointment with you for the future."

"An inspection? It's like a blind date."

When Jiang You saw a new task pop up in his task bar, he knew that Elle had already completed it. As long as he defeated Tiamat and repaired the singularity, Elle would join his team. This was an additional reward for Tiamat's task.

"You...you, what are you talking about!"

Ai Lei also realized that there was some ambiguity in her previous words, and she wanted to explain in a panic.

"I mean……"

"If it's you, I don't mind."

Jiang You started to attack directly. In this crappy game, even touching the abdomen would result in a red warning. There must be no marriage system. Even if there was, it would just be a black screen. Jiang You thought it was okay to tease Ai Lei like this.

"I told you, I like you very much."

Jiang You actually likes all straightforward Servants; their cards are must-haves, regardless of their strength. For example, Morgan, his current attitude towards Yao Cui, is ultimately aimed at capturing Morgan, and then using Morgan's power to find Yao Lan. Of course, there are also the "Four Shield Girlfriends." While this number is already in the double digits, everyone knows that the "Four Heavenly Kings" consist of at least five people.

"But, but we've only known each other for less than a day!"

Ai Lei had never seen such a scene before. If she were a normal woman, she would have slapped him and yelled at Jiang You, calling him a "shrew!"

"You're having quite a bit of fun, are you even talking about marriage? I was wondering why I couldn't find you lately? Turns out you were dating someone else here."

Suddenly, a small hand rested on Jiang You's shoulder and exerted force. However, with her strength, even if her joints turned white, it did not affect Jiang You.

"Illya!?"

Jiang You turned around and saw the people he was most familiar with, his nominal Master, and Illya's nominal mother, Minamoto no Raikou.

Illya looked at Elle, her face darkening: "Please explain to me why you got involved with Tohsaka Rin. Are you dissatisfied with me and planning to change your Master?"

"This person is not..."

"I know you can't lie to me, but I don't want to hear your explanation!"

Illya couldn't hear anything right now. Rin and Jiang You had nothing in common. How could she possibly lose to Rin? "Now, kill her, Berserker!"

Underworld.

Medea is diligently constructing a teleportation array.

"This node needs to add 30% mana, and this node needs to be reconnected... Hmm, this should allow it to connect to the teleportation array in the Zero Hour Workshop."

Medea finally completed the construction of the teleportation array. She breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to tell Jiang You the good news, but found that Jiang You and the God of Hell had disappeared.

"What about people?"

Chapter 263 Illya: I am your Master.

The katana launched a series of slashes at Ailei with violent purple thunder. As soon as they started fighting, Minamoto no Raikou confirmed Ailei's strength. Her pupils shrank slightly and she put away her contempt. Every attack she made next was a real killing move, with no intention of holding back.

In terms of martial arts alone, Minamoto no Raikou would undoubtedly be better than Elly, but her attacks failed to break through Elly's defense.

"what's the situation!?"

Ailei blocked Minamoto no Raikou's attack. Although her panel shrank after she left the underworld, it was only from the main god level to the mid-level god level. She still had the advantage over a first-class servant like Minamoto no Raikou.

"Is the outside world also full of Servants? And why did she attack me?"

"How could Tousaka Rin have such strength... Who are you?"

Illya finally noticed something was wrong with Elle. No matter how talented Tōsaka Rin was, she couldn't possibly be so comfortable in front of a top-tier Servant. She quickly called back Minamoto no Raikou. From the very beginning, her magic power was being depleted exponentially, as if she was supplying the magic power of both sides of the battle.

"Please let me finish what I'm saying."

Because the game is too realistic, the characters who have used up all the favorability rewards cannot be put away to be warehouse managers, and Jiang You also has to balance the favorability of Illya.

"She's not just any ordinary Tousaka Rin. She's the blonde Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld in Sumerian mythology."

"The Sumerian god of the underworld looks exactly like Tousaka Rin?"

Illya felt that Jiang You was trying to dismiss Rin Tōsaka. This was too perfunctory. There were no two people in the world who looked exactly the same. "You might as well say she's Rin Tōsaka, the future Servant. After all, there's already an example like Shirou Emiya."

"Illya, what he said is true. I can sense the vigorous divine core in her body."

Minamoto no Raikou also possessed some divinity, so Ailei's divine power was too conspicuous to her. "With this scale, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's at the main god level."

"Is there such a thing?"

Illya knew that Minamoto no Raikou was on her side 100%, and since she said so, Illya naturally chose to believe it.

"But the result is the same! Jiang You, you've been avoiding me recently because of this, right? If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I will use the Command Spell to make you commit suicide here today!"

Minamoto no Raikou sighed inwardly. She was the one who was most reluctant to see Illya say that, so she could only help her keep an eye on her. Fortunately, Kintoki didn't need her to worry about that.

"I understand. I will tell you everything."

Jiang You doesn't want to end up like Lancer. Isn't he not adaptable to Lancer?

So Jiang You told Illya about the seventh singularity and Ellie's situation. Anyway, Illya knew that she could form bonds with others to expand her deck and improve her strength.

"I already knew about this!"

Illya pinched Jiang You's face and said, "You should know that's not what I mean! You want to change the subject just because you can't lie?"

"Which one is that?"

Wasn't Illya just angry that he was trying to improve his relationship with Elly while avoiding her? Although he was indeed avoiding Illya, it was to sign a contract with Gudako and become a member of Chaldea. "I wasn't avoiding you on purpose. You still have classes to go to, and Minamoto no Raikou has to pick you up from get off work."

"You don't even know I have the day off today!"

Illya's face suddenly turned red, not out of shame or anger, "You've forgotten what you just said, right? What did you just...just say to her?"

Minamoto no Raikou had already put the knife to Jiang You's neck. As long as Jiang You dared to say something that made Illya unhappy, she would attack directly. She knew that this attack would not work, but what she wanted was Jiang You's attitude.

"This child likes you, right?"

Ai Lei also understood what Illya meant. She looked at Jiang You with some disdain, as if she was looking at Ishtar. "Even then, you still say these words to me. You are such an indecent person."

Jiang You knew Illya had a very high favorability rating for him. After all, the favorability rewards were almost gone, right? But he had always assumed it was something like the Red A favor that granted wishes. And in a healthy game where even touching someone would result in a warning, what good would such favorability be after the rewards were gone? He couldn't activate CGs.

However, Jiang You still had to respond. Illya's favorability had reached a bottleneck recently, and perhaps this was a breakthrough. Regardless of his purpose, Jiang You didn't want his favorability to drop, not to mention that Illya still had the channel of Moika.

"That's it, Illya, you too."

Let's leave the question of whether the marriage system is implemented or not to Dog K. Anyway, it's just a name that can't be touched. Jiang You is responsible for saying this.

"I like you too, so let's do it all together..."

"Is that what you wanted to say?"

Illya interrupted Jiang You directly. She knew that Jiang You was telling the truth because of the influence of the Dark Game. But she didn't feel very happy. Her possessiveness was not low. The fact that Shirou was made into a doll and placed in the basement was the best proof.

"All of them? How shameless! Dream on! I give the order with the Command Seal! Jiang You, you are not allowed to use your Noble Phantasms on me and Minamoto no Raikou!"

The Command Spells had no effect on Jiang You, but he knew that resisting Illya's favorability at this point would be a disaster. Fortunately, his pain perception percentage had always been minimal. He could only lament how difficult it was to control favorability in this game, making it feel like the real thing. Even if he wanted to start a harem (a card deck), he had to get the consent of his own cards.

"Berserker, kill him!"

Illya gave the order mercilessly.

Minamoto no Raikou resolutely carried out Illya's instructions. She had wanted to do this for a long time. Anyone who dared to touch her child would be judged by her as a mother!

Minamoto no Raikou still held back, knowing Illya's words were merely angry. It was a mother's responsibility to understand her child's heart, and she was truly consumed by worry for Illya.

After 5 minutes, Illya finally asked Minamoto no Raikou to stop. Ai Lei, standing by, was a little bewildered. She was now positioned a bit like a mistress, but she was clearly just forced out to play, and her relationship with Jiang You was not that close at all.

The evaluation is that the damage is not as good as the dark game. Although Jiang You looks miserable, he actually did not suffer much damage. He thought silently in his heart.

"I know you want to run around, but you have to remember that I am your Master!"

Illya stared at Elle and declared her sovereignty.

Underworld.

Medea: "No, where are the people?"

264

Chapter 264: Ailei, why did you defect to the enemy?

Although she felt she had nothing to do here, Ai Lei still felt a little guilty. She had actually made up her mind to leave the underworld and experience the colorful world outside. So she would definitely agree to Jiang You's request.

Illya finally let Jiang You go. She understood that Jiang You needed to establish connections with others to improve his strength before he could get his deck back.

"No matter who you contact later, you must report to me first. Got it?"

"I understand. Then I will report it in advance!"

Since Illya said so, Jiang You told her everything. There was no point in hiding it, as everyone would know it in the end.

"Next, I'm looking for Lancelot, Gawain, and Morgan. Then there's Gorgon and Tiamat. Tristan and Medusa have already joined..."

"Knights of the Round Table? Wasn't the matter over there resolved before?"

Illya was also present at the time. Although she did not participate in the final battle, Minamoto no Raikou told Illya the ending of that singularity. The current singularity is Mesopotamia, so there is no reason for Jiang You to meet the Knights of the Round Table.

"Has Tristan joined you? You can certainly get it if you win the fight, but if you want to summon the corresponding Servant, you need to gain his approval, right?"

"I know this."

Ailei raised her hand to speak. Jiang You was Illya's Servant. She thought she would see Illya often in the future, so she thought they should get to know each other better. Unaware that her next words would be a stab in the back, she said, "The Fairy Knight is a replacement for the Knights of the Round Table. Tristan is a young woman who has a very close relationship with Jiang You."

Jiang You forced an awkward smile. He had been trying to get away with it. He didn't know where Ai Lei's information came from. Perhaps it was from a deceased undead? But Jiang You's men had never died.

"It seems you've been hiding a lot of things from me."

In response to Jiang You's awkward smile, Illya's mouth corners slowly began to rise. She smiled and pointed in Jiang You's direction, "Berserker!"

When Jiang You and Ai Lei returned to the underworld again, Medea had captured a dead soul and was studying it there. Judging from her extreme behavior, it seemed that she was using the dead soul as material for magic.

Ailei was so scared that her ponytail was about to fly up. She quickly rescued the undead from Medea's hands. This was a resident of her underworld, and she had the responsibility to protect them: "Don't do these things to these poor children!"

"Isn't this the curious soul's way of maintaining its form?"

Medea had no experience of being in the underworld. After Jiang You and Ai Lei could not see anyone, she began to explore the peculiarities of the underworld.

"We Heroic Spirits are also undead in a sense. After losing our magical forms, we transform into spirits and return to the inner world. I'm wondering if this method can allow me to continue acting as a spirit. However, it seems that this form's intelligence cannot be maintained."

Seeing that Medea's potion bottle contained a portion of the unfortunate undead's body, Elle snatched it back and stuffed it into the undead's body. The undead whimpered, as if crying. Elle used her magic to soothe it for a moment, then led it into a gun cage. The undead's form dissipated, transforming into a firefly within the gun cage.

Elle finally breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Medea, "Maintaining this form consumes magical energy. Powerful individuals can maintain their intelligence after entering the underworld. Gilgamesh was one such individual. As for the physical form, it's a unique feature of the Underworld of the Age of Gods. The power of the Underworld is required to allow the soul to form. Magic is difficult to achieve this... No, it should be said that only magic can achieve this level of power."

"Since Lord Hades has said so, I can only give up for now."

Medea had also gained something. The soul energy here was quite abundant, which gave her new ideas. Perhaps she could build her own complete body from the form summoned by Jiang You. Moreover, Ai Lei seemed to be the type who was easy to please. Medea felt that she would work with her sooner or later. She would have plenty of opportunities to borrow the power of Hades.

Thinking about it this way, Medea felt that her dissatisfaction with being ordered around by Jiang You was much less. At least by Jiang You's side, she could have many opportunities.

"Speaking of which, Jiang You, what's the matter with all these injuries? Did you get so upset that you went into a physical fight with the Hades?"

Medea was a little surprised to see Jiang You's body covered in marks of heavy blows. Given Jiang You's characteristics, he shouldn't have been vulnerable to any physical damage.

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but your fighting skills aren't even as good as Jason's. Where do you get the courage from?"

"Actually, it wasn't me."

Thinking of this, Ailei couldn't help but laugh. Even if Jiang You had the ability to defeat the Lord God, he would still be controlled by his Master. She now believed that Jiang You was not the kind of evil servant who wanted to destroy humanity.

Jiang You's mouth twitched. Ailei chatted with Illya for a few words and then defected to the enemy. At least in the seventh singularity, Ailei would help Illya keep an eye on Jiang You.

"Just think of it as me triggering a punitive side quest that will deduct a percentage of your maximum health."

Speaking of which, Illya seemed to have adapted to her identity as an elementary school student. After no longer having to live for the Holy Grail War, she began to enjoy her own life standing under the sun, like a normal girl.

"Come to think of it, you seem quite submissive to Illya... Where's your reserve as a goddess?"

Jiang You didn't really mind the result, but there had to be a reason.

"Well, I'm the goddess of the underworld, right? I can see that child's soul."

The first time Elle saw Illya, she used her power to see her soul. If the soul was compared to a flame, then Illya would be the weakest firefly that could dissipate in the air at any time.

"Her soul is incomplete. There's an artificial part. She was probably created for a certain purpose from the beginning, so she has a lifespan. But for some reason, she no longer needs to fulfill that mission. Her soul and body have been carefully adjusted."

Ai Lei glanced at Jiang You. She could guess that it was Jiang You who caused this result. A large part of Illya's good impression of Jiang You must come from this: "But this is just compensation, not a cure. Her soul can only support her to live for another ten years or so."

Ai Lei patted Jiang You's shoulder earnestly and said, "So, don't let her down!"
