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

Jiang You interrupted Ishtar's pleasantries and said, "I'm not here to seek revenge this time. I'm here to form an alliance with you on behalf of the Fairy Kingdom."

"The land of fairies?"

As a goddess who patrolled the heavens daily, Ishtar was naturally aware of the unusual situation in Ur. However, because it was Kukulkan's territory, she was not in a position to enter without permission.

"So you're from Kukulkan's side? No wonder you got into a fight with that gloomy woman. But aren't goddesses supposed to attack each other?"

Ishtar took it upon herself to find out Jiang You's faction.

"It's a rebellion. The Fairy Kingdom has won a complete victory. Not only Uruk, but now Kukulkan is also mine."

Jiang You shook his head and explained.

"...Speaking of which, it seems like Ere and Gorgon are both mine now. Why doesn't the Alliance of the Three Goddesses have an achievement for collecting everything?"

"Are you some kind of goddess collecting machine?"

Ishtar shrank her neck. Jiang You had said before that he wanted her (card).

"You've already conquered all the goddesses, why do you still need my help?"

"Because this is your territory, we plan to relocate our residents here. The upcoming battle will affect the entire Mesopotamian Plain, and we need a high-lying place as a refuge. Your place is undoubtedly the most suitable."

"A battle that affected the entire Mesopotamian plain?"

Ishtar also possesses a Noble Phantasm with a very large attack range, but if it can cover the entire Mesopotamian plain at once, then how powerful is the opponent?

"Don't you have all the power in this land in your hands now? Who else could be your opponent?"

"That is naturally the Mother Goddess of Creation, Lady Tiamat."

"It's actually Tiamat!?"

Ishtar gasped, "How could she have woken up? This shouldn't be the case!"

"Oh, I was planning to let her out."

Jiang Youfeng calmly gave an answer that made Ishtar's scalp tingle, "Humanity needs a trial, and Tiamat is the best choice."

"No, no! Even if you defeat Elle, you can't be so arrogant!"

Ishtar thought Jiang You must be crazy. "You have no idea what Tiamat represents. Even if you have the assistance of the Crown, you are not them! I will not agree to such a thing!"

"For justice, I will stop you!"

289

Chapter 289: Finally someone took the initiative to play cards.

"Are you really okay? Your legs are shaking, goddess."

Jiang You felt relieved. Now someone finally knew that he was someone not to be trifled with.

"No...no!"

Ishtar's eyes shifted downwards as she tried to steady her legs, only to realize Jiang You was lying to her. Her legs stopped shaking, but her guilt was clearly written on her face. "I am still a goddess after all. The price of Tiamat's awakening is unbearable for humans. Please retract this horrible thought."

"really……"

Jiang You also felt that his behavior looked like a psychotic villain, but for the reward, it didn't matter at all. He put on a righteous look, "But I still have to do this. Humanity needs Tiamat to help them!"

"No need for that! And there's no way a Beast would help a human! He wouldn't even dream of doing that!"

Ishtar corrected Jiang You's strange thoughts.

"I have a disagreement! Beasts also have a [human love] side!"

Jiang You slapped the nonexistent table and pointed his index finger forward, "As long as they find the right excuse, they'll be no different from other Heroic Spirits!"

"totally different!"

Ishtar shook her head repeatedly. "Otherwise, how could there be something like a Crown specifically for beasts? In short, I don't agree! Don't bother me on my territory! And don't even think about summoning Tiamat!"

"Personal, I like it."

Jiang You spread his hands, "But how are you going to stop me? By force?"

He wasn't afraid of using force anymore. If all else failed, he could just call on a group of people to fight. With the number and quality of servants he could summon, most would die on the spot.

"This body is telling me that normal means of attack are ineffective against you."

Although Ishtar had only been summoned once by Elle, she was certain of the effects of Jiang You's Noble Phantasm.

"So the only way to decide the outcome is yours."

"You are the most honest opponent I have ever met."

In fact, Jiang You was quite looking forward to Ishtar not believing in evil and being killed by him, with an expression of humiliation on her face.

"But since you've seen my duel with Aire, you should know that I have a Crown Servant in my deck. Even so, do you still want to fight me in this way?"

"That's true."

Ishtar admitted that she had just said that in a fit of rage. If her opponent was a champion, she would be doomed and would have no chance at all.

"But do I have a choice? What will happen to the tributes they send me if all the humans die? Your summoning of Tiamat is absolutely non-negotiable."

"Actually, there won't be many people offering tributes to you in the future, so it doesn't make any difference."

Jiang You thought it was fine. Since Ishtar had asked for a duel, how could he refuse? He also wanted Ishtar's card. "Now that we're ready, let's begin. The loser must obey the winner's orders!"

"Etc., etc!"

Ishtar interrupted repeatedly, she didn't want to lose so completely.

"Since this is an unfair duel, then the weaker party can make some demands, right? You are not allowed to use the crown card! As long as you win, I can do anything!"

While the idea of ​​"anything goes" was tempting, unfortunately, this was a full-fledged card game, and the possibilities were limited. However, considering the bonus cards offered as quest rewards, Jiang You agreed to the request. Such restrictive rewards were incredibly rare.

"Okay, I agree to this request."

"It's so easy..."

Ishtar hadn't expected Jiang You to agree so readily. She tossed her hair and puffed out her chest confidently. In her legend, she wasn't one to care about such aspects of her personality. Even though she had somewhat restrained herself by merging with Rin Tōsaka, she still remained a goddess. "It seems this goddess's charm is still quite good."

"Now that the terms have been agreed, let's begin the duel!"

Jiang You opened up the duel space.

Jiangyou LP 4000.

Ishtar LP 4000.

"This is what it feels like to control your Noble Phantasm... How fun!"

Ishtar excitedly flipped through her deck. "Sure enough, this Dark Lady is in my deck too! It's my turn to use her this time!"

"As a reward for limiting your own deck, I'll let you attack first. Remember to be grateful!"

Ishtar also had her own plan. If she attacked, she could cause 2000 points of direct damage to Di Jiangyou at the beginning of the next round. If she had the second move, she could launch the attack earlier.

Jiang You had no idea what Ishtar was thinking. Although this effect was delayed, it was still quite scary for a 4000 LP matchup. So Jiang You chose the Knights of the Round Table deck again. Camelot's negation damage was incredibly useful!

"Then I'll attack first!"

Jiang You started his round without any hesitation.

"First, [Unblessed Birth]! Special Summon a [Tristan] from your deck onto the field. I'm going to summon [Fairy Knight Tristan]!"

Anyway, it can be regarded as a card with the same name, and Yao Cui can play a slightly greater role than the original version.

[Yao Cui] Attack power 2000.

"I knew you were going to play cards with someone again."

Yao Cui, with a haggard face, glanced at Jiang You and said, "But it's good. I can get away from that annoying golden guy for a while!"

"It's only been a few hours and you can't stand it?"

Jiang You thought that he hadn't been away for long. Even if Gilgamesh was not easy to get along with, he couldn't be worse than Tohsaka Tokito, who had a very bad relationship with Gilgamesh, right?

"Just try to imagine that every time you read a word, someone starts pointing and criticizing you!"

Yao Cui's back teeth began to rub against each other as he spoke. "Even if I don't say anything, that guy can still make that 'hahahahaha' noise! ​​If I get the chance, I'll definitely torture him!"

"No problem, but you'll have to do it yourself."

It's better to let Yao Cui suffer a loss. She is no match for Jin Shanshan. Although Jin Shanshan is a foul-mouthed person, he promised to teach you and he really taught you.

"That's what you said!"

Yao Cui has long wanted to test the quality of humanity's highest hero king.

"Once I learn his stuff, he will be of no use to me!"

"better!"

Jiang You gave a thumbs up, saying that Yao Cui at least knew to learn the knowledge before taking action.

"If your opponent is Gilgamesh, I can help you."

Ishtar felt that no matter who it was, if they wanted to fight Gilgamesh, she would have to help.

290

Chapter 290 A more mature (in all senses of the word) Altria.

"The duel continues! I activate the Field Spell Card [Camelot], increasing the attack and defense of all related servants by 500 points. Once per turn, I retrieve a [Knights of the Round Table] from the deck. The one I want to retrieve is [Aggravin]!"

Previously, I searched for Matthew just for fun, and Matthew's effect was not very useful.

"Then, with the effect of [Camelot], I can directly Normal Summon a [Knight of the Round Table] without any sacrifice!"

[Ager Guiwen] Attack power 1800 → 2300

"This Noble Phantasm again, King? The battle hasn't even begun..."

Agguiwen turned his head and found that the guy behind him was his previous opponent.

"Why is it you? What happened to my king?"

"Altria has already lost, and I won the duel. But she recognized me, so that's why you appeared here."

He will often meet Aguguiwen in the future. Although Jiang You likes his bitter and vengeful face, he will not make the relationship too awkward.

"If you have the chance in the future, you will still meet your king, but he will probably be the one holding a gun."

"My king's decision? If that's the case, then I have nothing to say."

Agguiwen nodded. In this situation, there was no need for Jiang You to lie.

"Then, the effect of [Agaguiwen] adds a [Knight of the Round Table] or [Holy Sword] to your hand when this card is successfully Special Summoned. The card I want to add is [Lancelot (Saber)]!"

Jiang You chose players who could conduct special recruitment on their own.

"Next is the effect of [Lancelot]. I will send [Matthew] from my hand and [Indestructible Lake Light] from my deck to the graveyard and Special Summon them to the field!"

The knight in the lake came riding on the waves.

[Lancelot] Attack power 2400 → 2900

"So this guy is in the King's deck, after all?"

When Aguguiwen saw the person coming to look for him, he snorted in dissatisfaction.

"Since he betrayed the Knights of the Round Table twice, the King should have expelled him from the Knights of the Round Table!"

Lancelot also saw the guy who had the most conflict with him. Even if the other party was telling the truth, he would not admit it.

"This isn't betrayal, but correcting the king's mistakes! If a knight were to watch his king go astray and do nothing, that would be true betrayal!"

"Just pick something nice to say!"

Agaguiwen's face was gloomy. He didn't want to listen to Lancelot's nonsense. The reason why the king was the king was because he could forgive Lancelot's fickleness, but he was just a clerk and could not do that.

"If you really think so, you should have rebelled loyally from the beginning like Gareth, Percival and the others, instead of showing us your shameless and fickle behavior!"

Lancelot wanted to refute, but Jiang You interrupted their conversation.

"There are conflicts that cannot be resolved in a duel. Let your king decide when the time comes. I will stack the three Knights of the Round Table on the field and Xyz Summon them—"

"Three?"

Aguguiwen was just trying to see which colleague was summoned, but he only saw a red-haired girl on Jiang You's field.
