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

Jiangyou LP4000

Iskandar? LP4000

"Caster, the King of Conquerors' Noble Phantasm can summon a large number of Normal Servants at once, providing a large attack bonus while also being able to penetrate defense. Don't try to use Servants with low defense as a defensive line." Weber provided Jiang You with information about Iskandar's deck. "His deck is all centered around the King of Conquerors himself. If you can destroy him instantly, you can easily win the duel."

This is very important information. Jiang You originally planned to summon Black Sakura to build a defense, but now it's more appropriate to summon Illya or Jeanne. Even with the [Origin Bullet] protecting them, it's unlikely anything will go wrong.

"Thank you..." Jiang You nodded to Weber, but he found that Weber was tied up with a chain and hung up.

The lingering replica of Gilgamesh reappeared, this imposter attempting to pierce Weber with his Noble Phantasm. Baimao, the woman accompanying Jiang You, attempted to provide support, but was yanked away by the Heavenly Chains. Her individual attributes were truly disgraceful.

Jiang You, who was in a duel, was unable to provide support in the battle, and was unable to summon the duel elf.

Then there is only one way left.

The Noble Phantasm is released, targeting Weber and Gilgamesh!

The Noble Phantasm shot at Waver was once again blocked by the rules, and the second duel began.

"I thought your Noble Phantasm would be ineffective without the Holy Grail War. Well done, Caster!" Waver held his deck with a delighted expression. He could feel that the King of Conquerors' card was still in the deck. Now he could fight alongside Iskandar again.

Weber LP4000

Gilgamesh? LP4000

Iskandar? LP4000→LP0

It was extremely easy to fight against the mass-produced goods that had no thoughts and no constraints. When Jiang You dealt with the clone Iskandar, Weber also summoned the real one.

"Boy, we meet again so soon!" Iskandar laughed heartily upon seeing his familiar Master. "But why are you the enemy again, Hero King? This time our positions are reversed."

Gilgamesh, who was summoned by the replica, had a dark face and did not want to discuss this issue.

"Actually, I've always wanted to invite the other three of you kings to a banquet, but unfortunately, when I saw the King of Rome, I got a little carried away and couldn't help but have a sparring match with him. It's just right that I can take this opportunity to show my 'kingly way' to the original heroes!" Iskandar gave Weber a look.

Waver understood: "I activate the Field Spell Card [King's Force]!"

Yellow sand and soldiers swept in again, and the King of Conquerors led his soldiers to charge at the King of Heroes.

Unlike the original, Gilgamesh seemed unimpressed. Facing Iskandar charging at him, he didn't even move. He and the King of Conquerors had barely interacted at this point, and now he simply wanted to put an end to this farce of being enslaved as a tool.

Gilgamesh? LP4000→LP0

"This is so boring..." As the duel space dissipated, Iskandar also began to dissipate. He was bored by Gilgamesh's attitude. After a brief grumble, he turned to Waver. "As a subject recognized by this king, please don't die!"

After bidding farewell to the Hero King, Jiang You shared his intelligence with Weber. As long as they could behead a few replica heroic spirits, they would be able to survive this crisis.

"How many survivors have you taken in here?" Jiang You looked at the number that was barely decreasing and considered whether he needed to go to the Fuyuki Church.

"A little over 10000, right?" Waver recalled roughly. "Most of them are placed in the underground parking lot. The entrances and exits there are sealed and relatively easy to defend... Caster, why is your face so gloomy?"

Current number of survivors: 23172

Chapter 48: This place will turn into a duel city!

There were 2 survivors at the Fuyuki Civic Hall, and over 1 more at the hotel. Even if the church was completely wiped out, that would still leave 3 survivors. That's nearly half the number the system had!

"You mean you can detect human life reactions, but the numbers are wrong?" After hearing Jiang You's description, Weber's face turned pale. "Caster, are you mistaken? You must have misremembered the survivors at the Civic Hall."

Jiang Yourang followed his Baimao to contact their Assassin network, and after getting a definite answer, he shook his head at Weber.

"If they can imitate the forms of animals, then maybe humans can too... It's unbelievable. They're still trying to use the fake human trick here at FateZero, right? You haven't tested any of the survivors, have you?" Jiang You still said this ominous speculation.

Because he had witnessed the wonders of Jiang You's treasure, and Jiang You didn't seem like someone who would make such a bad joke at this time, Weber believed it 90%.

"How can we possibly test everyone one by one!" Waver lowered his voice, the hairs on his body standing on end. "This is an emergency, and no one on board is behaving strangely. It's simply impossible to imagine, and not everyone in Fuyuki City can recognize it."

The imposters outside the hotel had also been successfully suppressed, and it wouldn't be long before they were all eliminated. Kenneth finally had a break to pause and answer questions while manipulating the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid.

"Really?" Kayneth didn't react much to the question. He actually enjoyed the feeling of being in control. "I'm not surprised. According to the information provided by Tōsaka Tokitoki, he saw humans shot by Gilgamesh while heading to Mount Enzo. He didn't understand the situation at the time. Now it seems that Mount Enzo was the first place to be hit by the disaster. However, this kind of thing is not very surprising to me..."

The Moon Spirit Marrow liquefied and drilled into the ground, exploring the hotel and underground parking lot like a silver snake stretching for hundreds of meters.

"...The actual situation is more serious than I imagined. About 200% of the people have aura problems, some even possessing unusual magical powers." Kenneth's Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid detection revealed grim results. "The number is too large. I can only target around people at once."

"What about joining forces with other magi?" Waver watched Emiya Kiritsugu using guns and explosions to conduct a large-scale sweep of monsters, wondering where on earth he got so much ammunition.

"I'm afraid it's too late." Kenneth turned his gaze to the magician nearby. He hadn't avoided the magician beside him during his conversation with the others. The magician stared at them, his thoughts unclear. Moon Spirit Marrow emerged from the ground, transforming into blades that sliced ​​the magician into pieces.

At the same time, the hotel erupted in the cries and screams of numerous survivors. The number of survivors on Jiang You's mission panel was also rapidly decreasing.

"His magical reaction is a bit strange. I originally thought it was a peculiar circumstance of his family's seal, but the truth is, his magical reaction is exactly the same as those disguised as humans." Kenneth spread most of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, intending to clear a path. Kenneth pulled Weber aside and said, "We should move. With our strength and the Magician Killer, we should have no problem staying safe. After that, we just need to find an opportunity to destroy this barrier..."

"No, there should still be a chance." Waver now felt his mind becoming clearer, analyzing all the resources available. "Caster!"

Jiang You, who was browsing the survivor rewards, was already as dark as the bottom of a pot. This crappy event doesn't even look like a single-player event. Suddenly, he heard Weber calling his class, and he looked up.

"Use your Noble Phantasm to capture every living creature in Fuyuki City!" Waver had previously successfully battled the fake Iskandar, even after withdrawing from the Holy Grail War. The same rules could apply to everyone. The rules of a duel would allow ordinary people to fight Heroic Spirits, at least enough to buy time.

"Right!" Jiang You slapped his head. He'd played so many cards that he'd almost forgotten he actually had a Heroic Spirit panel. The crossover event blended perfectly with the worldview, but the guidance was a bit too obscure.

For the first time, Jiang You released his treasure with all his strength, and the fluctuations representing the rules spread out with him as the center.

"No, I don't have enough mana!" Jiang You's E-rank mana simply couldn't sustain such a massive release. He hadn't even considered the issue with his panel before, and his activities had barely consumed any mana. He could only ask for help from his useless Master, "Emiya Kiritsugu! Didn't you say you wanted to be a partner of justice? Now the lives of 20,000 people are in your hands!"

Emiya Kiritsugu thought of his past. He had always been faced with a dilemma: killing to save others, sacrificing his mentor and adoptive mother, Natalia, to pursue the path of justice. Only now, he was fighting for complete salvation.

"That's why I'm standing here! How can I refuse? How can I escape?"

"I give this command with the Command Seal, Caster Jiang You, unleash your Noble Phantasm with all your might!"

"I give this command with the Command Seal, Caster Jiang You, unleash your Noble Phantasm with all your might!"

"I give this command with the Command Seal, Caster Jiang You, unleash your Noble Phantasm with all your might!"

This wasn't a choice between two options. Emiya Kiritsugu, without hesitation, gave all the magic power of the Command Seals to Jiang You if it meant saving him. After three strokes, the Command Seals dimmed, and Emiya Kiritsugu, already exhausted, vomited a large amount of blood due to the excessive magic power drained from his body.

Jiang You stood in the center of the battlefield, the fierce wind lifting the hem of his clothes high. He pointed his finger at the sky: "From now on, this will become a duel city! Transform your past and future into sharp swords called cards, and go to fight! Everyone, start your duel!"

Golden, red, and blue lights rose from the ground, penetrating the barrier covering the sky.

The rules of combat within Fuyuki City are overwritten by the rules of dueling.

From now on, sneak attacks and human wave tactics are no longer effective! At this moment, everyone has obtained the weapons to fight back.

The monster will not agree to a duel, nor will it refuse. Like the fake heroic spirit, it will only foolishly wait for the countdown to end, and then rely on the knowledge in its brain to forcibly drive.

Countless duel spaces unfold at the same time, and the survivors will risk everything they have in a fair card duel with the monsters.

"Look, this is my struggle to survive! Draw a card!!" The survivor covered in blood shouted and drew his own card.

"I activate [Voluntary Overtime!], paying half my life points and drawing a card from my deck! Then I summon myself from my hand!"

【Tired Office Animal】Attack Power 600

"And then there's the magic card [The Courage to Confess for the First Time]! Increases your attack power by 200 points!"

[Tired Office Worker] Attack 600→800

"Now I can break through this monster with 700 attack power like you, come on!"

The survivors and various monsters were fighting each other with various low-attack mortal bones. It was hard to imagine that this was a dark game.

Anyway, now I have time to go to Yuanzang Mountain to find the source of the disaster.

The following is not related to the main text

At the same time, there is a corner that no one knows.

Mantis activated the magic card [Predation] against Cicada, which can destroy servants with an attack power of 100 or less.

Successfully destroyed the [Cicada], whose attack power was only 25. Then the [Mantis] attacked directly and caused 100 points of damage to the Cicada.

Jiang You and Kiritsugu didn't know yet that the reason for the huge consumption of magic power was that it covered all the creatures in Fuyuki City.

Including Paramecium… 5

What follows is a series of duels with the BOSS, with the God Ancestor fighting in the first half.

Chapter 49: Jin Shanshan, You Are Simply a Model Worker

"Beast?" Romulus simply flew past at high speed, turning all the monsters in his path back to their original forms. He made it all the way to the large cave in Yuanzang Mountain without any obstruction. He looked at the huge alien in the cave and couldn't help but call out her job description.

"No, that's not right. It's not exactly a beast. It should be something more terrifying." Romulus' face was solemn. As a player who specializes in targeting beasts, he could feel that the spiritual base of this suspected beast was mixed with other auras, which made him feel very dangerous.

"As expected of a Grand Servant, you're truly professional." Beast praised Romulus's reaction. "Your reason for manifesting wasn't to target the beast, right?"

"You even know this." Romulus's expression grew graver. After his emergence, the signal to "protect Caster" had been etched into his spirit base, taking precedence over dealing with the beast's emergence. The fact that the beast knew this meant it had some connection to Jiang You.

However, as the crown prince, Romulus also has the responsibility to repatriate the beasts back to the inner world.

"It makes no difference. You and I will inevitably fight. Let the glory of Rome shine before your eyes!"

"Don't worry. Although I have borrowed the beast's spiritual essence, my actions are still for the survival of this planet and even the universe." The beast tried to persuade Romulus, "Caster is dreaming a beautiful dream now. It's as if we are living in his dream. But he regards himself in the dream as a mortal. When enough time passes, he will find that he will not age, and he will eventually realize that he is dreaming."

Romulus listened patiently to the beast's words. He genuinely wanted to know why something could borrow the beast's spiritual foundation to exist in this reality. The beast's explanation quickly led him to a similar myth. "'Brahma's dream'? Caster's actual spiritual foundation is Brahma?"

Brahma is a powerful god-level being. If he descends as a heroic spirit, he must have a treasure related to the sublimation of the "Brahma's Dream" legend. However, it is obviously impossible for this form to affect the continuation of the universe, not even the original body can do it.

"Bingo! That's pretty close, it's just a dream of Brahma, but it's still wrong. You can think of this legendary Brahma as something from Caster's dream." The beast felt a sense of pride, its tail wagging rapidly. "This universe is indeed real, but Caster cannot be allowed to deny its reality. Once Caster denies it, everything will truly become a dream. He will want to 'wake up,' and then we will all cease to exist."

Romulus did not completely believe what the beast said. The other party seemed to have always been in a playful mood, and some things were too beyond his cognition.

The beast opened its arms, "So he must fall into an eternal slumber, and sleep again in his dreams! I will give Caster the grandest BADEND here! Let him restart the timeline and let him fall into eternal sleep!"

"So, this is the reason why you turned the entire Fuyuki into hell?" Romulus learned some of the situation from the Command Spell linked to Kenneth. He must kill the beast here quickly, otherwise if he allows it to grow, not only Fuyuki, but the entire human society will suffer.

"That's right. After all, he hopes to turn everyone into soul crystals. Look how obedient I am. I have collected quite a few now~" Beast continued to wag its tail, looking extremely happy.

Romulus, already dressed in the golden armor that represented Quirinus, prepared to attack. The "beast" hadn't fully grown yet, so now was the right time to strike.

Noble Phantasm, "Shooting a Hundred Heads: Roman Style"!

The light seemed to be swallowed up, and punches that looked like light guns covered the beast's entire body in a few milliseconds. The damage caused by each blow of this intensive attack was enough to directly kill a second-rate heroic spirit.

The light returned, and several replica heroic spirits that served as guards were killed in an instant, leaving only the beast standing there unharmed.

Beast brushed off the nonexistent dust on his body and looked at Romulus with a smile. "Your Excellency, Grand Lancer, your combat power is indeed very strong. To ensure that I can weaken you as much as possible, I even deliberately reduced the range of influence of the non-primate survival circle. I didn't expect that even so, I couldn't weaken you enough to deal with you by force. But unfortunately, I still have a backup plan."

Romulus wanted to activate his Noble Phantasm, "Our Arms Expand Everything, Reaching the Sky," but found that he could not attack the beast no matter what he did. This feeling was extremely familiar to him.

"That's right, it's Caster's Noble Phantasm!" Beast laughed, accepting Romulus's challenge. "I am a part of him, sharing the most similar essence to his. I am the only one who can possibly defeat him! Likewise, I possess some of the rules governing this Noble Phantasm. Let's duel, Duel!"

Romulus LP4000

□□LP4000

"Because a head-on attack is useless, you want to use the effects of Caster's Noble Phantasm to defeat me." Romulus knew that the Servant's deck matched its own strength, and as the first king of Rome, he had the courage to face any challenge. "Begin! ...Rome is here."

"Then I'll strike first!" Beast took over the initiative. "Let me see. Then, let's thank Mr. Gilgamesh for his sponsorship. I activate [First Heroic Epic], sending all cards in my hand to the graveyard, discarding an equal number of Equipment cards from my deck to the graveyard, drawing two cards, and adding a Gilgamesh to my hand."

"I love seeing so many graveyards at once. So, Mr. Gilgamesh, let's help you to the end. I'll banish three equipment cards from the graveyard. Come out, Hero King!"

Gilgamesh was pulled out again. He looked across at Romulus with a look of pure complaint in his eyes.

"King of Rome, why are you only fulfilling your responsibilities now?" Gilgamesh rolled his eyes. Besides himself, he had already appeared on the field with four other players. Now he was like a bus, anyone could drive it. This was hard for him to accept. "Didn't your spiritual base tell you what you needed to do?"

"Rome (I) did not receive any information about defeating the beast when I appeared in this world this time." Romulus said the truth. He didn't know why there was a thing that could borrow the spirit base of the beast to appear.

Chapter 50: Playing cards is actually a large-scale family reunion scene ()

"King of Rome, if you are not so smart, you might as well give the throne to me. If I had come, the matter would have been resolved by now! Otherwise, I would not be in such an embarrassing situation." Gilgamesh was still stubborn.

"Actually, I appeared later than him. Normally, there wouldn't be anything of my level here," Beast explained for Romulus. "So, he's essentially here as a babysitter. The restraint brought him here to prevent someone from getting their head around and getting killed, causing a premature restart and exposing a flaw."

"#Uruk curse" Gilgamesh cursed through gritted teeth.

"Enough of the family chat, let's continue the duel. Gilgamesh, your effect is really impressive. I'll activate Gilgamesh's effect to summon a King's Treasure from my deck, and then three Equipment Cards from my deck."

Gilgamesh was given three original Noble Phantasms: [Dasseltin], [Dawn of Destruction], and [Direndal].

Gilgamesh's attack power increased from 3000 to 4500.

"Then I Normal Summon [Weber (Lord El-Melloi II)], flip over three cards, choose one and discard two!"

【Weber】Attack Power 500

"I always feel like there's more overtime to do." Big Weber's dark circles grew worse. He glanced at the cards he had piled in the graveyard and added a reminder he hadn't said before: "Be careful, that [Noble Phantasm Mistakenly Fired] that can reflect direct damage is in the graveyard again!"

Gilgamesh's face darkened. It was because of this card that he received direct damage from his trump card [Sword of Separation] and lost the Dark Game.

"You're the only one who talks too much! Shut up!" Beast said with a look of rage. The newly created Gilgamesh clone used the Heaven's Chain to bind Big Weber's head. "I'm going to add this card [Enkidu]. You should be familiar with the effects of Gilgamesh. I'm going to banish the 3rd Equipment Card and return it to the deck, Special Summoning [Enkidu]!"
