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

【Yao Cui (Swimsuit)】

Attack damage: 4000 → 4500.

"Then, using the effect of [Minister of Finance], I remove the last Xyz material and draw a card!"

Yao Cui currently has 4 cards in her hand, and the operation of her card set is much better than before when she could play all the cards in one go.

The opponent has one with 1800 attack and one with 3800 attack. If Yao Cui breaks through directly, the damage is 1900 points. If the health loss effect is included, the total is 2900 points, which is still a bit short of killing. It is better to use Yao Cui to destroy the entire field at the cost of being unable to attack. In this way, Jin Shanshan can still deal 3000 direct damage with one punch.

Yao Cui missed his [Royal Massacre Theater] terribly. If he had it, this round would have been decided. So where could he get the remaining 1000 points?

Yao Cui looked at her extra deck, which seemed to have a few extra cards. Her expression changed from surprise to surprise, and then her eyes looked at Jiang You.

"?"

Jiang You was puzzled, but he soon knew what this look meant.

"Wait, no way?"

"Gilgamesh, you are useless!"

Yao Cui raised her hand, and an excessive vortex gathered above her head.

"What do you mean this king is useless?"

Gilgamesh couldn't bear to hear this. No matter what he said, his level was still very high. "Are you still sane? This attack power of mine can directly hit 3000 health points!"

"If I say it's useless, then it's useless. Useless things should be removed!"

Yao Cui fully demonstrated the meaning of "killing the dog after the rabbit has died." "The condition is to stack a summon directly on any [Fairy Country] Xyz monster! I will use [Minister of Finance] to Xyz together! Special Summon [Regent of the Fairy Country (Fake)]!"

344

Chapter 344 This is a super springboard.

[The (fake) Regent of the Fairy Kingdom] Level 1 Caster has an attack power of 0.

This card is not affected by the effects of other cards.

① Remove one Xyz Material from this card, and use this card as Xyz Material from the Extra Deck to Special Summon a Xyz Servant on top of this card, ignoring the summoning conditions. This summon is considered a Regular Summon.

②Servants summoned by ① will have their attack and defense increased by 1000 during the turn they are Special Summoned, and will not be affected by other effects.

③This card can be regarded as a super servant of any level in any field.

"Regent? I thought my symbol would be that of a national teacher."

Jiang You experienced the feeling of being suddenly summoned to a duel for the first time, and it was quite strange. And the effect was a bit powerful, like a supreme super version of Gudako.

The only problem was that being constantly summoned by NPCs while playing the game was a bit ridiculous. Jiang You didn't want to be pulled away when he was just progressing through the script.

Jiang You quickly found an option in the corner: whether to accept the summon directly (dismissing it would result in a pop-up window, while rejecting it would result in an ignorant projection). It seemed the game's planners had some humanity, but not much, as the feature guide was essentially useless.

"You have no self-awareness at all about what you did back then. The so-called founding of a nation was just a way for you to have fun!"

Yao Cui said he was completely sidelined. "But you appearing in my deck means something, don't you? I've never seen anyone else summon you! From now on, don't even think about running away! The effect of [Regent] removes one Xyz Material and ignores the summoning conditions to Special Summon a Xyz Servant. The one I want to summon is - [The Queen Mother of the Fairy Kingdom (Fake)]?"

"I don't know where to start complaining anymore. This name is really too sloppy."

Jiang You was completely confused by this game system. Was it supposed to be real-time? There couldn't possibly be someone in the backend observing the players and making cards based on the plot progression. As for who this card belonged to, Jiang You knew it was Tiamat. As the mother of all things, it made sense to call her the Queen Mother.

As a springboard, Jiang You is destined not to stay on the court for long, but this is also a good thing. He doesn't want to rush forward and throw a punch in an ugly way.

After the excessive light ended, a white girl with a (???) appearance appeared on the battlefield.

[The (fake) Queen Mother of the Fairy Kingdom]

Level 12 Beast has an attack power of 5000.

[Fairyland] or four or more Beast Servants.

①This card will not be affected by the effects of other cards.

② Once per turn, remove two Xyz Materials from this card, banish all other Servants on the field, and restore LP equal to the number of banished Servants × 1000.

③ Once per turn, remove 1 Xyz Material from this card. Special Summon a [Fairyland] Servant from your Graveyard. Servants summoned by this effect cannot be destroyed by effects until the end of the turn.

④When this card is destroyed in battle, you can remove an excess material as a replacement.

"This spiritual base is somewhat peculiar."

Tima dragged her chin and glanced at her results, "But if Xiaoba Wanxi needs it, it's no problem."

Morgan's eyelids twitched. Someone was actually trying to snatch a worthless woman like her? But now wasn't the time to discuss that. Morgan simply crushed the armrest of the chair. She had guessed the identity of this girl. If she ran afoul of such a being, she would at least be fully prepared. Furthermore, the other party was merely a card, so there was no need to worry too much.

While its armor effect has been weakened in the Yao Cui deck, it does gain additional battle break resistance, making it quite practical. Also, because Tiamat also has full resistance, Jiang You's special summon bonus won't take effect, but its 5000 attack power is still enough to stand out from the crowd.

"It's actually her?"

Yao Lan was startled. In her mind, Tima should be Jiang You's mother. Combining Yao Cui's identity with the card's description, she seemed to be on to something. Yao Cui's ability was powerful, but the effects it displayed were outrageous. A normal ability used for salvation shouldn't be used in this way; it should be simpler and more ruthless, something even a wild boar could understand. So, this ability must belong to this human-looking being.

Yao Lan, who discovered the truth of the incident, wanted to say something, but Jiang You noticed the clue and stopped her with a gesture of silence.

"Queen Mother?"

Aurora looked at the petite girl in front of her repeatedly, then turned her head to Morgan with a look of ridicule on her face.

"Look, even the 'daughter' who came back to be the queen doesn't acknowledge your identity and has chosen another fairy to be her mother. You've truly failed..."

Ti Ma was very sensitive to malicious intent. After she saw Yao Lan, she knew who the overly aggressive child Jiang You had mentioned was. In her words, bad children needed to be taught a lesson.

"If you're talking about Morgan, he's my child too, so you're not allowed to say those things."

"?"

Isn't this relationship a bit confusing? It seems impossible to figure it out.

All the fairies had big (?) question marks on their heads. Even the fairies couldn't quite understand the servants' thinking. Just like you couldn't understand how many people Gudako was the reincarnation of.

"Anyway... my own effects!"

Before the topic went off track, Yao Cui brought everyone's attention back.

"Once per turn, discard a card to destroy all Servants on the field except myself. As a price, I cannot attack during the turn this effect is activated!"

Aurora's backfield had been completely depleted, leaving Yao Cui no longer needing to worry. The Horned God unleashed a flare of light, which spun at high speed, sweeping the entire duel space. Even Yao Lan couldn't withstand such a powerful attack, sending both her and her dragon-like self to the graveyard. However, Tima, possessing full resistance, remained unaffected.

"Entering the battle phase! Queen Mother's direct attack! Aurora, you've already lost!"

Yao Cui directly declared his victory.

Tima opened her mouth, and her world-class voice, accompanied by a huge amount of magic power, flowed towards Aurora.

"I, I still have a chance! If the opponent launches a direct attack and I have no cards on the field, I can activate this card directly! I activate the trap card [Scapegoat]! After activating this card, you can Special Summon a Servant from your Deck to the field, and it cannot be destroyed by battle during this turn. As a price, the summoned Servant cannot activate its effects this turn. The one I want to summon is [Fairy Knight Lancelot]!"

[Fairy Knight Lancelot] Attack power 2800.

Yaolan blocked the attack for Aurora.

Aurora LP 4000 → LP 1800.

345

Chapter 345: With this statement, are you really not a villain?

“It’s actually blocked?”

Yao Cui glanced at his hand. Ending the battle this round was impossible. But that didn't affect the outcome. With Tiamat here, Aurora was powerless.

Tima now has only one Gypsy Material, and there are no servants in the graveyard that are suitable for summoning in this turn, so Yao Cui retains this Gypsy Material as battle break resistance.

"I'm covering two cards in the backcourt, ending my turn. Come on, make your final struggle!"

"..."

After a series of attacks, Aurora realized that Tima possessed a similar resistance that could not be broken by effects, so she could only break through in combat. She only had one card left in her hand, [Horizon of Light] from Yaolan, which meant she still had a chance to break through Tima in combat.

"My turn, draw a card!"

If she successfully Special Summoned a [Coral] in her hand, she could Special Summon a [Fairy Knight] from the Graveyard. This meant she could use this card to Synchro-Summon a Liberated Orchid. The 4000 attack power combined with the 1000 attack power increase from [Light Horizon] would be just about on par with Tima's board.

"Coral is still somewhat useful, but it's too noisy! I Normal Summon [Coral]."

【Coral】Attack power 500.

"Oh, I'm familiar with this scene."

Jiang You had experienced the exact same situation when he duelled with Yao Lan before, but Yao Cui's interruption was more comprehensive, and Aurora was finished.

"Lady Aurora?"

Coral found himself summoned to another place in this way again. The difference from the previous situation was that here he was surrounded by lords and nobles from all over Britain. Even Queen Morgan was present. These distinguished fairies gathered together as if watching a grand performance.

"What's happening here?"

"You talk too much, shut up."

Coral wasn't worth Aurora's time to explain. Now she no longer needed to maintain her image. "[Coral]'s effect: Special Summon [Yaolan] from the Graveyard!"

"Did I tell you I allowed you to do that?"

Just as Jiang You thought, even if Yao Cui didn't know the effect of Yao Lan's Synchro Form, he wouldn't allow Coral to activate his own effect. Especially since the card in Aurora's hand was the open card [Horizon of Light].

"My own effect. Once per turn, when a Magic or Trap monster's effect is activated, negate that activation and destroy it. Get down!"

Before Coral could comprehend the situation, he was sent to the cemetery. Now, Aurora had no way to continue the duel.

"This is impossible!"

It’s not that Aurora thinks Yao Cui can’t have this kind of effect. After all, some of Yao Lan’s effects are similar to this. It’s just that she can’t accept the fact that Yao Cui defeated her so easily. Everyone can see Yao Cui’s strength. How could he be so strong?

"These things are not your strength at all. If it weren't for him! And her! And those ridiculous Fairyland cards, you would never be my opponent! I won't accept this kind of victory!"

Aurora pointed at Jiang You and Tima. She had a hunch that everything here was caused by that human. The so-called "Regent" explained a lot. And even Tima's aura alone couldn't inspire resistance. How could a lowly, low-level fairy like Yao Cui possess such a thing?

"You're planning something, aren't you? You're not the savior at all!"

"Is this important? Let's talk about the price of the Dark Game."

In the end, Aurora still wanted to drag Yao Cui into the water, but in the current situation, whether Yao Cui is the real savior is no longer important. She has shown that she has the power to deal with curses. Even if she is not, she can still be the child of prophecy. Whether the fairies agree or not, they will call Yao Cui the child of prophecy.

"You wanted me to take action against Mother, right?"

When Yao Cui said this, Ti Ma also reacted, but no one looked at her except Jiang You.

"So what's the price you should pay for losing? After all, you don't even have a mother."

If this sentence were to be spoken by a human, it would be a serious insult, but to a fairy, it would be nothing at all.

"But my mother is the person I love most, so the price I have to pay is to destroy the thing I value most, right?"

Although Yao Cui also said that he had a good impression of Jiang You, he was still ranked one place lower than Morgan.

"What do I value most?..."

Aurora's goal as a fairy was to outshine everyone else, a brilliance encompassing not only her reputation but also her appearance. Now that she's lost her fame, she's reluctantly resigned herself to becoming the most evil fairy to continue "shining," but her most cherished possession has become her own skin. She's actually prepared to commit suicide by poison after defeat, leaving the fairy kingdom with a legend of a vicious yet beautiful fairy, making her a star in fairy history, radiating a vibrant, poisonous purple.

"Don't do that kind of thing!"

"You seem to cherish your appearance? After all, you don't have a reputation anymore."

Aurora is still good-looking and well-dressed after all. She lives a life very similar to humans, with nothing more than a face (appearance) and a skin (reputation). Yao Cui wants to tear off her "face" completely.

"Don't you always say that your knights are rotten meat in the swamp? As the lord of rotten meat, you should stay in the rotten swamp so that no one can smell your rotten stench. Don't worry, I won't let you die so easily."

"For the rest of your life, you must not leave the swamp. You can only use mud as clothing and eat rotten plants and animals. Soon, when the fairy kingdom mentions you, they will no longer remember the evil woman who poisoned Uther. Instead, they will only know that there is a filthy, crazy fairy living in the swamp!"

It must be said that Yao Cui is quite good at playing villains. "Does that look in your eyes mean you want to use your reincarnated self for revenge? Don't worry, I won't give you the chance! The moment your lifespan reaches its end, use that cursed item stained with Morse in your hand to slit your own throat! You should be well aware of the effects of Morse's curse, right?"

"Then please destroy the thing you value most for everyone's amusement. Since you no longer have the ability to act, your turn is over!"

Because Aurora hadn't acted for a long time, Yao Cui ended her turn for her, "Draw a card, and then enter the battle phase."

"This kind of thing is unacceptable! Please kill me!"

Aurora couldn't accept this ending. She endured the filth of the swamp because she needed to maintain her image. She absolutely couldn't accept having to spend her entire life in the swamp. Furthermore, she couldn't even maintain her reputation as a villain after compromising. Everyone who mentioned her would think of her end and call her something like a bug.

"That's too good of a deal for you. Tiamat, please win this duel for me!"

Yao Cui decisively refused. Morgan had shaped her into a ruthless character, and even if she had improved somewhat now, it wouldn't be much of a change. How could she possibly be soft-hearted? She had actually considered the "human urn" mentioned in the history of a great nation brought back by Jiang You, but Aurora wouldn't survive long in that case, and that would be too boring.

Aurora LP 1800 → LP 0!
