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

Gorgon closed his eyes. Not only humans, but even non-human servants could not be trusted.

“We don’t even have a place to stay.”

"Actually, there is."

At this moment, Medusa, the prototype of Medusa, appeared. She appeared almost at the same time as Anna, but she felt that there was no room for her to speak in that situation, so she quietly hid aside.

"Another Medusa!"

Euryale jumped off the Gorgon and jogged to grab Medusa's hand.

"This Medusa feels more familiar, and the size is reassuring."

"Sisters, I'm glad to see you... and the more mature me."

Gorgon curled his lips upon hearing this. This was the last thing Medusa wanted to hear. She had the same opinion about her as Anna, although she herself had a fair share of it. Medusa continued, "I can guarantee Jiang You that he is trustworthy. As for a place to stay, the sisters can come and live with me."

"Is it that modern city?"

Yurielle's eyes lit up. She had been summoned by Matou Sakura before. She disliked humans as a species, not their creations. Her willingness to be an idol at Ms. Tsuru's events proved she was quite comfortable with human entertainment.

Jingu's face became even uglier. From now on, it would depend entirely on him to revive Tiamat.

"I won't lose!"

Jin Gu made up his mind that even if the future was painful, he would go on for his mother.

"I activate [Unacknowledged Firstborn]! Destroy myself, draw a card, and Special Summon [Tiamat (Self-Seal)] on the field!"

The duel space instantly transformed into a boundless ocean. A distant, long-drawn voice echoed from the depths. The black primordial sea began to replace the azure waters, and a silver-haired woman rose from the sea, singing. This was how the Mother Goddess of Creation, Tiamat, descended.

Tiamat (Self-Seal)

12-star Beast has an attack power of 0.

"Since you became the Grand Master, you've summoned a beast again? Your Noble Phantasm is truly outrageous."

Merlin sighed, knowing that Jiang You had the ability to summon a Servant or a person, similar to a Heroic Spirit, after gaining their recognition. He wouldn't be surprised if he pulled out a beast someday.

Jiang You glanced at the Tiamat with the suffix. She simply displayed her beautiful voice, showing no intention of communicating. Her effect wasn't exactly a beast, but it was clearly similar to Yubel's. When she left the field, she would Special Summon a Tiamat from her deck, hand, or graveyard.

I just don't know if there is a Tiamat with a Jurassic state spirit base. Now it really is Yubel.

"Is it so easy to summon it?"

Gilgamesh's whole body was tense. Even within the rules of the duel, he felt tremendous pressure from Tiamat.

"And 'self-sealed'?"

"Tiamat has sealed away most of her powers."

Merlin explained, "After all, she is the mother of all things. How could a mother not let her child go?"

"That's not necessarily true. After all, there's a saying that goes (?) The deeper the love, the more severe the criticism."

Jiang You glanced in the direction of Minamoto no Raikou. There are many kinds of mothers.

"You're right, so isn't she here to test us?"

Merlin smiled bitterly. He could have taken a good vacation to be an online scammer, but this wave of manpower burnout made him work almost all year round.

"If she can't get through, she'll have to start a new account."

After Jin Gu called out to his mother a few times, he received no response and could only continue the duel.

"Are you ready to see the power of a mother?"

285

Chapter 285: Cards have resistance, but the players do not.

"Attack power 0?"

Gilgamesh didn't think his opponent was joking like his younger self did. The star rating largely reflected the strength of the servant. Besides, this was Tiamat, so it must have some pretty terrifying effects.

"Yes, but as the goddess of creation, it's not that simple for my mother."

Kingu laughed, "Then I activate the Field Spell Card [Primordial Sea]! This card cannot be targeted by effects. While face-up on the field, [Tiamat] cannot be targeted by effects! Also, for each Servant sent to the Graveyard by your opponent's field, you can create a [Rahmu (Derivative)] with the same Star Level, Attack, and Defense as the Servant sent to the Graveyard," and banish that card face-down."

"Except the inside?"

This was the first time Jiang You had seen this effect in this collaboration. The Tōsaka family's card draw wasn't a cost. However, Jiang You could only use King Ha from Hassan's deck to counter Tiamat. This meant Hassan would need to quickly enter the Graveyard before the opponent could activate [Primordial Sea]. This provided some good information.

"Then let's enter the battle phase!!"

Kingo only had one Tiamat on the field, but it was enough for him.

"First, Mother, please attack [Enkidu], which will be able to block the lower-level effects!"

Enzi felt that he would definitely win as long as his mother was there, but unfortunately he didn't have any subsequent cards, otherwise the suppression power could be raised to a higher level.

"You're just attacking with 0 attack power? What effect will it have?!"

Gilgamesh didn't dare to carry Tiamat, but he didn't dare to act casually either. 0 attack must have some terrible effect.

"Do you need off-field assistance, Hero King?"

Jiang You spoke up at this moment. He could see the effects of other people's cards. Jin Gu and Jin Shanshan remained silent, like they were playing a game of military chess.

"I, the King..."

Gilgamesh originally wanted to refuse, but in the current situation, if he lost, Jiang You would have to agree to Kingu's summoning of Tiamat again. Although he thought Jiang You's treasure should also be effective, the self-sealing state of Kingu's summoning alone made him sweat profusely. He didn't dare to think about what the scene would be like if it was completely released.

"Hmph, I'll give you a chance to show yourself to me."

"Sometimes I admire you for being able to remain stubborn in such a situation."

Jiang You chose to forgive Jin Shanshan for the sake of the mission reward.

"Tiamat in this state cannot be destroyed by battle, but can be destroyed by effects if Primordial Sea is successfully dealt with. Also, it says that when she leaves the field, she Special Summon a Tiamat from the deck, and this effect cannot be negated. This means there's still a second phase. Although I don't think Kingu has that card in his deck."

Jin Gu's face darkened even more. Jiang You was obviously taking sides. He didn't even say a word about Gilgamesh's actions.

"I see, but it can't be just that simple, right?"

These alone are not worthy of the identity of a beast.

"That's what I'm going to say next. Any direct damage this card inflicts in battle will be taken by your opponent at double the damage. Servants that battle this card will be sent to the Graveyard after the battle damage is resolved."

It's a noble grave-sending effect, quite difficult to defend against.

"Besides that, she can also actively liberate herself and send all face-up Servants on the field to the graveyard. Kingu would have already won by simply activating this effect, which is why I said he probably doesn't have the Complete Form of Tiamat."

"I see. My best friend's attack power is 2500 points, which means I will take 5000 points of battle damage."

If Jiang You hadn't reminded Gilgamesh, he would have been killed by this attack.

"In that case, I activate my Quick-Attack Spell Card [Abundant Noble Phantasms]! Designate a Servant on the field and equip him with up to three Equipment Spell Cards from your Deck!"

"Want to increase your mother's attack power to reduce the damage she takes?"

Kingu shouted confidently, "It's useless. The mother cannot be targeted while [Primordial Sea] is present! You can only target Servants on your own field!"

"That's right, but what weapons doesn't exist in my treasury? I even have cursed Noble Phantasms that reduce damage! I'm going to choose this card—[Original Sarahville]. This card reduces the holder's attack power by 1000 points! However, it grants the ability to attack directly, and absorbs half the opponent's health from direct damage dealt."

Since it was not a good thing, Gilgamesh only had one in his hand, but he didn't expect it to come in handy.

[Enkidu] Attack damage 2500 → 1500

"My dear friend, Tiamat's power is too great for even me, so I must inconvenience you."

Gilgamesh really had no way to save Enkidu, and this was the best he could do.

"It's more than just a tricky situation, right? I'll leave first then."

Enkidu still smiled and returned to the earth to the beautiful voice of Tiamat.

"Just barely surviving!"

Jin Gu glared at Jiang You. If he hadn't said anything, it would have been over. "Enqidu still has 1500 attack points. You're still going to take 3000 damage!"

Gilgamesh LP 4000 → LP 3000.

"Next is the effect of [Primordial Sea]! Banish [Enkidu] face-down, and then summon a token [Rahmu] on my field!"

Rahmu

Beast 8 stars, defense 3000.

Jin Gu purposely summoned the derivative in a defensive manner, as his health was already low.

"You're helpless against your mother, right? Just try your best, but your mother is an obstacle you can never overcome!"

Jingu no longer had the ability to continue moving and planned to end his turn.

"Then I..."

"Did the King say it's over?"

Gilgamesh had found a way to win. "I activate the effect of the Continuous Spell Card [Divine Seal]. If the opponent successfully summons a Servant, I discard a card from my hand and destroy it!"

"It's just a [Rahmu], I'll give it to you."

Because of the magic card, Jin Gu had no good feelings towards his brothers and sisters. And a high-attack blank card, if it was destroyed, it was destroyed.

"I don't care whether this thing can survive or not."

Gilgamesh laughed heartily. "I'm going to activate my own effect. Once per turn, whenever a card in my hand is discarded, I'm going to deal 1 points of life damage to the enemy! King Tiamat is no match for me, and you—are far behind!"

Jingu LP 1500 → LP 500!

286

Chapter 286: Is there really anyone who wouldn’t choose Tiamat in this faction battle?

"What? Are you scared?"

Seeing Kingo's hesitation, Gilgamesh continued his signature laugh, "You are the one who has to struggle. It's my turn now. Just discard one more card and it's over!"

"I cover a card in the backfield to end my turn!"

Jin Gu bit his lip. Gilgamesh had no cards left in his hand. As long as he didn't make any calls, Gilgamesh would not be able to activate the effect of discarding cards on the field.

"Don't get carried away! You only have one card in your hand next round. Where will you get the card to discard?"

"This is my turn..."

Gilgamesh placed his palm over the deck. "Perhaps you were right a few years ago, but I am different now! Unlike you, I already have subjects who identify with me. Whenever I need them, they will obey my orders—draw a card!"

"Hahahahahaha, this is my final ultimatum to you! I Normal Summon [Siduri]!"

Gilgamesh drew the card he wanted.

The priests who had served the wise kings who ruled former Uruk joined the battlefield.

[Siduri] Caster 1 star, attack power 200.

"Look carefully, this is the bond between me and my subjects!"

Gilgamesh shouted proudly.

"Your Excellency, the King... the Minister of Finance..."

When Xidulli saw Jiang You supervising the battle, she changed her tone and said that one should still have some respect for the current ruler, although Jiang You didn't care much about this.

"..."

Gilgamesh covered his face. It was hard for him to be stubborn in front of Siduri. "Anyway, Siduri's effect! Send your deck to search for an Uruk Servant to add to your hand! I want to add this one: Holy Whore!"

"!!!"

Jin Gu knew the effects of [Holy Whore], of course; Gilgamesh had shown it to him before. He knew it was all over, and that cover card would have no effect on the situation.

"Discard [Holy Prostitute] from your hand and Special Summon [Enkidu] from your deck!"

Although [Holy Whore] entering the cemetery can trigger the field effect of Jin Gu, it is no longer necessary because the battle is over.

The mud gathered into the shape of Enkidu again.

【Enkidu】Attack power 2500.

"My dear friend, just bear witness to my victory! My effect has been activated again. Jingu, it's over!"

Gilgamesh declared the duel over.
