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

Incidentally, Cú Chulainn finally had a satisfying, normal fight with Lancelot, though since neither had unleashed their Noble Phantasms, the outcome was inconclusive. Cú Chulainn expressed satisfaction that even if he were to withdraw now, he would have no regrets.

"I remember you killed quite a few people from the Magic Association because they wanted to steal the Soul Crystals."

Because of the soul crystals, all the magicians within a hundred miles were dispatched. It was inevitable that some of them would have bad intentions, so there was a pile of magician corpses in Yuanzang Mountain, and now they were all used by Medea to generate electricity.

"They can even let you go... You really don't have any Noble Phantasms related to mind control?"

"Yes, I have the Noble Phantasm of the World Modulation System. Not only you, Medea, but even Serenity, Hundred Faces, and Lancelot have been brainwashed by me without knowing it."

Jiang You continued speaking along with what Medea said.

"The next step is to rule the world!"

"Wow—that's really scary. What nonsense are you talking about? Even the main gods are not as awesome as you."

Medea didn't believe that such a treasure existed at all. She knew Jiang You was joking.

"I think they have something to ask of you. You can mass-produce Soul Crystals, right? They're probably attracted by that. They might be keeping you alive so they can capture you later and use you as a tool to produce Soul Crystals."

"I heard it was like a seedbed, but why are there only dirty jokes?"

"I was serious."

Medea's expression was serious. She was now Jiang You's summoned creature. If Jiang You was really caught, she would not have a good ending.

"I just got my deck not too long ago, I don't want to quit so early."

"Don't worry, there's no way I'll be caught."

Jiangyou said the worst that could happen was to unplug the system and then contact Lao K directly for feedback. Many MMOs have prison settings, but none of them truly restrict player movement, otherwise they would have been criticized. Developers are in the business of making money, not torturing players.

"But your phase shift can only return you to your original position, right? How long can you hide?"

This is how Medea understood Jiang You's behavior of going online and offline: the value of the soul crystal is worth all the magicians waiting for him for years.

"As long as I want."

Jiang You felt that he had been bothering Medea for quite a long time, so he had to give her some confidence and see if he could gain some favor with her.

"I was originally going to take Illya back to play as compensation, but now I'll show you."

Jiang You opened his game system and found the interface for switching scripts. He swiped the world line to the right.

FSN → FZ.

Jiang You appeared in Fuyuki in 94, and used the Noble Phantasm to summon Medea again.

"It's not finished yet! You send..."

Medea hadn't finished complaining when she realized she wasn't in the familiar Fuyuki. Thanks to Jiang You's manipulations, Fuyuki was filled with traces of magic. But here, it was incredibly clean. It was like it had just been cleaned.

"Welcome to Fuyuki ten years ago."

"Ten years ago...?"

Medea had heard Baimao talk about Jiang You, but she didn't expect that Jiang You could move freely between the two worlds without relying on the summoning of heroic spirits.

"Can you jump timelines... or?"

"You can think of it as me being able to record the world line I'm in whenever I'm summoned. I can move around in that recorded world line at any time."

Jiang You explained this way.

"That is to say, as long as I want, I can escape from that world line forever, and they will never be able to catch me."

"Isn't that what you want to say more than that?"

Medea found the key to the problem.

"You met Lancelot in this world. And you still have his card. Are you trying to tell me..."

"Yes, you want to go back to your hometown, right?"

In order to improve his favorability, Jiang You looked up Medea's wishes, and it was so easy to prescribe the right medicine.

"If I am summoned to the timeline you desire, I can bring you there as well."

As for whether it can really be realized, Jiang You said that he can only trust Konami.

A series of email notifications rang out. Jiang You glanced over and saw that the Argonauts had also acquired some servants, the most important of which was Medea Lily. A high-quality hand trap in the current environment.

Medea gave Jiang You a heartfelt gift. As a heroic spirit, she had plenty of time to wait.

"Medea, I swear my loyalty to you! My Master."

Chapter 131 Fuyuki: I'm used to Duel City.

The next day came quickly, and Jiang You woke up early for a rare occasion.

Facts proved that the promises were indeed effective. Medea, as if energized, single-handedly set up the entire venue overnight, even showing a rare sign of fatigue for a heroic spirit like her.

Jiang You said he had learned it and would do it again next time.

"The venue can currently accommodate approximately 20 people, which is the maximum capacity allowed by the expansion. I think about one-fifth of Fuyuki City's population would be enough."

Medea was incredibly dedicated, consuming so much magic power that Atram shrank. When Jiang You carried him, there was a considerable gap between him and the box, causing him to sway and make a clanging sound, significantly affecting the feel of his hand.

Bai Mao immediately found a suitable box, but Jiang You thought it was too small and looked out of proportion, so he stuffed the gaps with cotton.

"I don't know whether to call you sweet or vicious."

Medea twitched her lips as she saw Atram's pleading eyes. Even if she was robbing someone of their magic power, she would kill them with a vengeance. Jiang You's method, on the other hand, frightened her.

"That's exactly the effect we want."

The guy who treated people like batteries actually ended up being made into one. How fair. But Atram was almost relieved. The Holy Grail War after the duel was likely to be uncontested, so the champion could simply be declared the victor. "I've scheduled your duel for the second half. You should rest up. Don't blame me if you lose."

"I'm not that bad at losing."

Medea rolled her eyes. She didn't know who was the one who acted like a hands-off boss. As a Caster, she had no knowledge of magic at all. She was the one who was busy with everything.

"How dare you say that? Didn't you say you didn't want to do anything shady and wanted to have a pure duel?"

"It's just that your position was moved to the second game. The three of them really drew lots. It's not a shady deal."

Jiang You said that as the organizer, his power was unlimited. He set the rules, so what was there to be afraid of? "However, if you want to designate a specific opponent, you can do that. It's not like we're all that particular. After all, duels are based on strength, so it can't really be considered cheating."

"I've recorded this and will play it for that little girl. She's clearly cooperating with you in this game, yet you're doing all this nonsense here. It's going to be really funny."

After Jiang You explained his abilities (form of expression) yesterday, Medea's relationship with him became closer, and now she can make such obvious jokes.

"forgive me!"

Jiang You quickly begged for mercy. Now Illya obviously wanted to defeat him head-on with his Noble Phantasm. If she knew, his favorability would probably drop sharply. Jiang You had a little habit, and he felt uncomfortable if the favorability of female characters was not maxed out.

"I'll go and recover some of my magic power and get ready. The Soul Crystal is still quite tempting to me. If you need anything, just go to Jason first. Don't be shy, just order him around."

Medea chose to take a rest and left Jason to Jiang You.

"This woman can finally calm down."

Although it was Medea who arranged the venue alone, the actual chores were still done by Jason, who was busy all night.

"Let me make it clear first, if I win the championship, you have to let me go!"

"You'd have to ask Medea about that. Even if we win, it's still up to her. If she agrees, then it's fine."

Jiang You said that Medea's favorability had just been raised and couldn't be allowed to drop like this.

"Didn't you summon her? Please, Caster, let me go for once. I'll do anything to get away from him."

It was hard to imagine a heroic spirit looking so haggard. It must have been Medea who had cut off Jason's demonic supply, keeping him in a state just sufficient to maintain his spiritual foundation. He stepped forward and grasped Jiang You's forearm as he was about to leave.

“I can do anything!”

"This isn't FGO."

Jiang You said that Jason himself did not have freedom in life and could not bear the weight of these words.

As I've said before, Medea is definitely at fault in the mythology, but it's hard to say for the Moonworld. If anything, blame the fungus for not envisioning a real landing when it was written. The First Emperor and Jing Ke were also similarly victimized. As a patch, Jing Ke's eyesight is probably incurable.

However, Hercules wasn't included in Medea's favorability bonus, and I'm not sure if there will be any in future favorability bonuses. After the "Leaver" scenario, Illya's cards are usable again, and she can summon Hercules with one card. I really want a card like this, one that can be easily summoned and hidden in a toilet.

In a sense, Jason is even more tempting to Jiang You than Medea, so he must have Hercules in his deck.

Jiang You held his chin, thinking about how to increase Jason's favorability without lowering Medea's favorability.

"When Medea gets tired of you, she'll probably let you go."

Jiang You gave up thinking about it. He had to finish the duel anyway.

Jiang You shook off Jason's hand and left as Jason made the same gesture as Erkang.

He also has to find Baimao to arrange the follow-up work, as the finals are about to begin.

The news of Mount Enzo being the venue for the duel finals was spread out by Baimao as soon as it was made. Today, the number of people asking for leave in Fuyuki increased sharply, seriously affecting economic growth.

Many people had even set up tents at the foot of the mountain, just to get a good spot first. Baimao, acting as both staff and guard, had also caught many spectators attempting to jump the fence. If they went any further, they would be attacked by the defensive magic set up by Medea.

Magic (from the perspective of ordinary people) has always been a legendary existence in the minds of ordinary people. Now that they can observe the wonders of magic up close and see the living legendary figures, how can they not be excited? Everyone wants to observe this wonderful adventure that they will rarely encounter in their lifetime.

This led to the emergence of spontaneously formed cheering groups, which began to attack each other before the duel even began.

"Minamoto no Raikou will definitely defeat Hercules!"

"Second hair! Hercules is invincible!"

"We must support the local heroes. Minamoto no Raikou will win!"

"Am I the only one who thinks it's cool that Matou Shinji defeated a Heroic Spirit with his mortal body? The best Crimson Insect in the world!"

Well, humans have always been abstract.

Under the gaze of the crowd, a helicopter approached rapidly from the direction of the television station. From the wide-open hatch, a man in a Victorian-style suit leaped from a hundred meters above, landing precisely on the gate of Ryudo Temple. The strong wind whipped the hem of his coat back and forth.

"Welcome everyone to the Duel City—Fuyuki!"

Jiang You opened his arms and announced loudly to everyone: "The first Duel City Finals officially begins now! - Come on! Duelists, come and claim your honor and rewards!"

Chapter 132: Pre-war trash talk.

The much-anticipated finals of the entire Fuyuki finally kicked off. The venue for 200,000 people prepared by Medea was now overcrowded. Medea had no choice but to work overtime and expand the venue again.

Bai Mao, the host, also changed into a pure white dress and appeared on stage as the host. After a few brief opening remarks, it was time for the trash talk segment before the contestants started.

"We have four contestants coming up!"

Baimao prepared an entrance speech for each contestant: "First, fourth-placed contestant Illya. Her Servant debuts as a Berserker, having annihilated many monsters, including Shuten-doji of Ōeyama, the giant spider of Kyoto, and the Ushio-oni of Sensō-ji Temple. Known as the most powerful and mysterious killer of the Heian period—Minamoto no Raikou! As a Servant summoned from home, she should have a significant bonus. Unfortunately, duels are strictly fair and just; here, only legends and strength clash!"

The little girl with white hair and red eyes entered the venue with a voluptuous oriental beauty. This visually striking combination immediately caught the audience's attention.

"Illya, on behalf of the Einzbern family, greets everyone. I'm here to compete because, as the continuation of the Third Law, the Einzbern family will never give the Soul Crystal to anyone else."

Illya lifted her skirt and curtsied, her gaze averted, a slightly indignant expression on her face. "And I'm not here for the reward alone. I also want to tell someone: Those who break their promises are the worst! Illya will teach you a lesson!"

While the audience didn't know what the third method was, it didn't stop them from imagining a grand drama about the continuation of the family line. Furthermore, the little girl's expression of disgust prompted some subdued cheers from the audience, who then received Minamoto no Raikou's murderous gaze.

Incidentally, because Medea's model shop also had the Master's model, Minamoto no Raikou even went to cause trouble to prevent others from buying Illya's model. Jason, unable to duel due to Medea's restrictions, not only received a beating but also received numerous complaints from collectors. He narrowly avoided having his head ripped off.

"Anyone who wants to hurt Illya, or even looks at her strangely, must be killed!"

Purple lightning surged around Minamoto no Raikou, but some people seemed to be even more excited.

Although Minamoto no Raikou appeared to be a normal Servant, her EX frenzy revealed that she was only superficially normal. If the audience continued to go crazy, she might actually attack. Baimao quickly sent her away and brought up the next group of contestants.

"Then, there's the third-placed contestant, Rin Tohsaka. She's also the former Master of Jason, the Servant who was originally ranked second. We don't know what happened between them, but as a strong competitor, she quickly found her next partner—the red Archer!"

"I'm sorry, for some reason, this Archer doesn't want to reveal his real name, but I can reveal a little bit about it. Archer is from this era and is still a high school student. If you want to become a Heroic Spirit, you can refer to his situation. Just imagine, after death, you can still be active in various eras and fight alongside legendary heroes. Isn't it exciting?"

Red A's expression was very subtle, a face he'd already made countless times during his time in the world. Because of Jiang You, Baimao was now letting herself go. Considering her Noble Phantasm had different personalities, it was normal for her to have a few jumpy clones. "Shouldn't she really be awarded a medal for her ability to control herself? If someone did this, I hope she won't be hunted down like crazy once the truth is revealed."

"I'm here to win!"

Although Rin Tousaka felt a bit embarrassed to say this in public, as a noble, she couldn't be stage-frightened. Furthermore, the Einzberns had already done it, so her Tousaka family couldn't be left behind. "I must also avenge Medea, who stole my Servant. No matter what, he is my Servant! I will take back everything that belongs to the Tousaka family!"

"Looks like it's a grudge match. Next up, Medea, the second-ranked contestant."

Baimao successfully dragged Medea to complete the expansion of the venue, and now the entire venue can finally accommodate all the audience.

"As an ancient Greek magician, Miss Medea's strength should not be underestimated. This is also the only dual-Servant combination in this game. I don't need to elaborate on the legend of Medea and Jason, as I'm sure everyone already knows it. Now that these two legendary figures meet again, what will they accomplish together? It is sure to open our eyes!"
