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

Jiang You's eyelids twitched. Had Nero's Noble Phantasm's brainwashing effects not yet dissipated? Looking over there, he saw a certain degree of magical reaction in these people. They were definitely magicians. Jiang You was relieved. These people must have sensed the changes in their bodies and were about to stop being human.

"Hmm, you see, even without relying on my Noble Phantasm, there are still many people who will follow me."

Mo Yi was also deeply shocked. She looked at the magicians and found that they were looking at her with resentment. This made Mo Yi lose her confidence. She didn't understand.

Seeing Mo Yi's eyes begin to flicker, Nero also took advantage of the situation and pressed forward, "Hehe, this is my charm. Why don't you just admit defeat? Losing to me is only natural. There's no need to feel disappointed!"

"no!"

Moyi quickly realized that she couldn't save everyone, so she would save those who were willing to be saved.

"What you did was wrong. They have the right to choose. I won't allow you to force them to make a choice! Give them back their normal life!"

"I was just showing off my art, and you actually said I was forcing them?"

Nero was also angry. Even though Moyi was Jiang You's miko, she could not accept repeated slander of her art. She must make Moyi apologize to her! "I will definitely defeat you! Come on!"

Moyi LP 4000.

Nero LP 4000.

"I must stop you, so I must take the first strike!!!"

Moyi decisively took the initiative.

"I'll let you win. I'll definitely be the winner in the end anyway!"

Nero was incredibly confident. Even though Moyi had become Jiang You's miko, she still held a significant disadvantage compared to him. She was a Servant who held both the title of Roman Emperor and the Goddess of Music, far superior to an elementary school student. After winning, Nero decided to teach Moyi a lesson about art. As a miko, she naturally needed to serve her deity well.

"My turn! First, I Normal Summon myself!"

After becoming Jiangyou Miko, Moyi also has a new deck. The magical girl's set of cards still exists, but if you take the initiative, the Miko's set is more suitable.

Moyi appeared in the battle area, her casual clothes transformed into a dress similar to Tianzhiyi's, with the main colors changed to gold and black, which was exactly what Jiang You liked. Moyi glanced at her outfit and felt that she was almost used to wearing these embarrassing clothes. But this time, there were too many people around. She pulled the hem of her clothes, trying to cover more area, and then she glared at Jiang You fiercely. She had never seen such clothes before, and it must be Jiang You's fault.

Next are the card effects.

[Twin Priestess Illya] 2-star Foreigner with 1000 attack power.

1: You can only activate this card if it is successfully Special Summoned with no other Servants on your field. Special Summon 1 [Troy] Servant from your hand or Deck.

2: As long as this card exists in the Monster Zone, the opponent cannot summon it unless they pay 1000 Life Points.

3: A Foreigner Xyz Servant holding this card as Xyz Material will also gain effect 2.

"Twin witches?"

Illya didn't quite understand why she had this prefix. It seemed like she didn't have any sisters. "Whatever! In that case, I will Special Summon [Chloe] from the Deck!"

Another dark-skinned "Illya," wearing the standard red and white Heavenly Clothes, appeared on the field. She stretched out her arms in confusion, looking around curiously.

[Twin Miko Chloe] 2-star Foreigner with 1000 attack power.

1: You can only activate this card if it is successfully Special Summoned with no other Servants on your field. Special Summon 1 [Illya] Servant from your hand/Deck.

2: As long as this card exists in the monster zone, each time the opponent successfully summons a monster, you will recover 1000 life points.

3: A Foreigner Xyz Servant holding this card as Xyz Material will also gain effect 2.

"What's this super-sized live twin version?"

Jiang You glanced at the effect. Without the third effect, it was essentially the same as the Live Twins, except that it was no longer a response to attacks, but a response to summons. For opponents like Illya, summoning requires paying 3 health points per summon, which is a significant boost in effectiveness. It's quite unfriendly against storytellers, and even less effective in a Moon World environment, where summons don't require a springboard. Of course, it's still pretty good.

"Chloe?"

Mo Yi looked at this girl who looked exactly like her, with only her skin color and clothing being different, and she felt like she had a sister. She was familiar with the effects of Jiang You's Noble Phantasm, so she thought this was her sister from a parallel world.

"Are you my older sister or younger sister?"

"Chloe?"

Chloe asked the same question, "Who is Chloe? I'm Illya!"

"how is this possible?"

Moyi thought Chloe was joking with her, "You are obviously different from me. Which Illya is dark-skinned?"

"Dark skin?"

Chloe, also known as Xiao Hei, glanced at her hands. At this point, she hadn't figured out her identity yet. Just like in the original story, she should have most of Illya's memories. After seeing her own skin color, she cried out in surprise, "Huh?"

"Look, I am Illya."

Moyi didn't know why Chloe was so surprised by her skin color. Although she also found it a bit strange, her appearance was undoubtedly related to her. Her facial features were characteristic of the Einzberns, as was her name. Jiang You's Noble Phantasm could summon her, so it certainly couldn't have been fabricated. But how could the Einzberns have dark-skinned genes? Could this be her mother's... illegitimate child!?

"Stop right there!"

Jiang You received Moyi's thoughts again, and the scene was about to appear. This kid was probably asking for a beating. When the time comes, he will probably have to suffer a mixed doubles match between Kiritsugu and Airi.

"I'll explain Xiao Hei's matter to you in detail later. If you keep thinking about these things, I'll tell your mother."

Moyi then stopped her wandering thoughts and stared at Jiang You with a bit of shame and anger.

"Turn off your mind-reading!"

"Then don't mention me!"

Calling the gods by name has always been a taboo, and this is why. Besides, the gods don't want to listen to so many believers talking nonsense, right?

"You are Cai Illya? Then who am I?"

Xiao Hei glanced at Jiang You. Jiang You called her "Xiao Hei", a nickname only people who knew her would call her that, so she set her eyes on Jiang You, eager to get an answer.

"Chloe, it's written on Chloe von Einzbern's card."

Moyi pointed at Chloe's card.

Chapter 440 Nero: I don’t want to quit the band yet!

Jiang You glanced at Nero and the people in the audience, noticing their expressions of drowsiness. This duel was about to decide their fate, yet they seemed unhurried. Since they weren't anxious, Jiang You didn't bother to worry about them.

"To be more precise, you are the personality of Moyi that belongs to the Lesser Holy Grail."

After the Holy Grail War, the functions of the Lesser Holy Grail were sealed in Illya, along with the memories of that period. Therefore, the current Illya has lost the ability to accept the souls of servants. She is a healthy and clean child like a blank sheet of paper. This personality is also acquired.

However, the Lesser Holy Grail hadn't completely vanished, and the memory had only been sealed, not completely erased. To be more specific, Chloe's growth was more like Illya's from the Fifth War. However, the difference in experiences and memories had led to significant differences in personality.

"So, I don't actually exist?"

As Jiang You explained the above, Xiao Hei's expression became unusually lost. She was the part of her that had been abandoned by her parents. The thought of returning to the unconscious darkness after the duel made her tremble with fear.

Moyi opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. Chloe's memory was exactly the same as hers. If she had experienced the same thing, she would be heartbroken too. As the one who benefited from it, anything she said now would only make Chloe more sad.

"Well, it's my fault after all. Leave it to me to take responsibility."

Jiang You believes that recovering memories wouldn't cause Moyi to develop a split personality. The original storyline used the Job Card as a container, creating an additional "Illya" to allow Xiao Hei to manifest. Since she has the same memories as Moyi, she naturally wants the same treatment. This would be like creating a clone with identical memories—who could accept that? Jiang You's Holy Grail likely resonated with Moyi's sealed memories, leading to the inclusion of these cards.

"Now that you're standing here, of course you exist. So, I'll let you act as an independent individual."

"Then please take responsibility, Mr. Jiang You."

Xiao Hei nodded. Unlike before, after knowing his true identity, Xiao Hei could no longer identify himself as Mo Yi.

"I don't want to disappear yet, please, let me stay."

"You can exist on your own. I simply promised you a place to go. You are the part of the Holy Grail that grants wishes. As long as you want to stay, you will not disappear."

Jiang You's Noble Phantasm could indeed draw down Heroic Spirits and directly manifest them, and he could definitely accept this effect, but he didn't think it was necessary. It was the so-called exchange of sincerity for sincerity, and now the child was about to cry.

"You don't need to thank me, this is your own ability."

Xiao Hei nodded and said nothing more. However, speaking the truth wasn't without effect; it made him appear more sincere. Xiao Hei's favorability suddenly skyrocketed, surpassing Mo Yi and Mi Yu's in a flash. Jiang You's email list was instantly filled to the brim.

Jiang You took a quick look and found that in addition to the cards related to himself, cards related to the original work were also included. However, judging from the cards, Xiao Hei's spiritual base was actually related to Emiya, which was a bit outrageous. It seemed that the job card was still in Gudako's hands, right?

Thinking of Gudako, Jiang You didn't even have time to go back to Chaldea to check on them. He didn't know what was going on there. He hoped their heads hadn't exploded.

What a lolita (?) complex! How many Illyas does he have to collect before he'll give up? Moyi snorted softly. Jiang You was being too gentle with Xiao Hei. He definitely had bad intentions.

"Have you forgotten again that just saying my name now will make me hear about this?"

Jiang You's voice suddenly rang in Moyi's mind again. It would be impolite for her to continue thinking like that.

"So what? Adults like you are the most annoying!"

Moyi felt that he had no privacy at all, and he started shouting in anger.

"I stack these two cards and Xyz Summon [Incarnation of Blind Foolishness]!"

Following Moyi's declaration, she and Xiaohei began to transform into streams of light and flew into the rotating nebula above.

Before disappearing, Xiao Hei looked at Jiang You pleadingly: "Keep your word!"

"I will."

Jiang You nodded in response. Seeing this, Mo Yi also realized that Xiao Hei was unlikely to escape Jiang You's clutches, and she uttered a very dissatisfied sigh.

Then, the X-conditions were met and the Special Summoned Servant descended.

In that instant, all colors and sounds seemed to vanish, leaving only black and white and boundless silence. On the duel field, a human figure tore through space and stepped into the fray. Then, with him as the center, colors and sounds returned to the world like ripples on water.

"Why is the attack power 0? My God."

Moyi originally thought that Jiang You was so strong now, he must be at least a big monster with 3000 attacks.

"If you do this, I, as your miko, will be embarrassed!"

"What do you know? 0 attack power is the most terrifying!"

Jiang You disagreed, "Besides, where can you find a terminal with such simple summoning conditions?"

[The Incarnation of Blindness and Stupidity] Attack Power 0.

1. While this card is face-up on the field, your opponent cannot summon this card unless they discard a card from their hand. Cards discarded by this effect cannot activate their effects.

2 When the opponent activates an effect, you can activate it by removing an extra material. That effect is negated and you can choose one effect from the following effects to activate.

Watch and select a card from your opponent's hand to add it to your own.

Select a card from your opponent's Extra Deck and Special Summon it. When the card summoned by this effect leaves the field, banish it face-down.

The effects of negated cards cannot be activated until the start of the next turn.

3. Damage caused by this card in battle is borne by your opponent.

4 When this card leaves the field due to battle, Special Summon an Outer God from your deck and hand.

"It feels like it's not a complete form?"

Jiang You felt the state of his body and it seemed that he could still upgrade to the next level, just like the one in his mother's body. The 4th effect also responded to this effect. It seemed that he had another Outer God form. The effect of the bubble was only stronger, not weaker.

Nero's expression turned grim. Generally speaking, a miko does have the qualifications to summon an Outer God directly, but it's supposed to come at a considerable price. How could she, like Moyi, then criticize her own deity before summoning? Furthermore, Moyi also possessed Jiang You's card, suggesting that Jiang You was, at least in this matter, on Moyi's side.

Nero knew that the outcome of this duel was already determined, and she could not win even if she could. A part of her, that is, Truninbra's spiritual base, told her not to go against Jiang You's wishes.

"At least, we can't lose too badly."

Suknas also showed up, and Nero was worried she'd become a laughingstock among her colleagues. Watching Moyi bicker with Jiang You, Nero resolved not to win. She didn't want to be kicked out of the Royal Band just yet!

441

Chapter 441: Your cards? My cards!

"Then, I cover three cards in the backcourt, ending my turn."

As the witch of the Outer Gods, Moyi's deck is characterized by simplicity and brutality, although most Foreigner decks have this problem.

"Is Jiang You the only one here to take charge?"

Nero couldn't see Jiang You's effects, but she had the ability to negate other face-up cards while face-up. While this only affected cards on the field, not the graveyard, it was enough to deal with most opponents. She could sense that Jiang You wasn't in his perfect form (a knowledge given by the Spiritual Base), so he should be able to struggle a bit.

Therefore, if Jiang You relied on himself in this state, he would most likely not be able to directly block himself. Therefore, the focus should be on the last few cards. Nero's requirements were not high, as long as he could survive two rounds, he couldn't really defeat Mo Yi anyway.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Nero glanced at his hand and realized it was quite easy to gain an advantage.

"First, I activate the Spell Card [Never-Stop Concert Until the End of Time], paying half of my opponent's life to activate it, and Special Summon an [Invisible Piper] from the Deck's Graveyard!"

Moyi LP 4000 → LP 2000.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
