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

Minamoto no Raikou nodded. From the Fifth War to now, she had never really fought against other heroic spirits. She had long wanted to return to the legendary figures of other eras.

"Don't think about it!"

Seeing Jiang You and Medea rushing forward, Aguguiwen drew his sword to stop them, but a flash of lightning passed in front of him, blocking his advance.

"Make no mistake, your opponent is me."

Minamoto no Raikou drew out the Doujikiri Yasutsuna, purple lightning spread across the blade, and his fighting spirit seemed to materialize as he firmly locked onto Aggunibun.

"Saber from the East?"

Agguiwen knew that if he didn't take Minamoto no Raikou seriously, let alone stop Jiang You, his body would be torn apart in the next second. Agguiwen believed that Minamoto no Raikou, as a low-level summoned creature, was at most as powerful as Jiang You.

"Hmph, I, the Knight of the Round Table, Aggiwen, shall be your opponent and shall present your head to our king!"

"While I could certainly be called a swordsman in life, I am now a Berserker."

Following combat etiquette, Minamoto no Raikou also announced his name, "Minamoto no Raikou, the warrior of Heian-kyō, I present my greetings!"

"Berserker?"

Agguiwen hadn't realized Minamoto Raikou was a Berserker. In his opinion, a Berserker was supposed to be a lunatic, unable to communicate, while Minamoto Raikou seemed quite rational. However, considering that Jiang You had been surrounded by Servants like Assassin, who could cleave the Lion King's light curtain with a single sword, Agguiwen was certain that Jiang You was surrounded by freaks.

"Hahahahaha..."

Agguiwen laughed, but this reminded him that time was of the essence and he didn't need to worry about the consequences.

"The King no longer needs a scribe. It's time for me to join the Knights of the Upright and enter 'Frenzy'! This is for Camelot!"

A violent aura rose from Aguguiwen's body. He gave himself the highest level of frenzy at the cost of damaging his spiritual foundation, just like how he killed Lancelot in the original development. In this way, Aguguiwen stepped into the threshold of a first-class heroic spirit.

"Can you go this far for your monarch?"

Minamoto no Raikou agreed with Aga no Kyoumon in terms of loyalty and righteousness. No matter what deeds he had done before, they were all worthy of praise at this moment. "Since that's the case, I will also do my best."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu pressed his fingers together, gently caressing the blade. Purple lightning condensed around her, forming four humanoid forms, each clutching the weapons of her Four Heavenly Kings. Facing an opponent who had pledged his life for his sovereign, she felt it was worthy of her to unleash her own Noble Phantasm: "Come, Four Heavenly Kings! ... No, divine messengers of the Bull-Headed Heavenly King. Take the form of my memories—and advance! The Bull King summons the thunder of heaven, a vast net!"

Amidst the rolling thunder, human figures made of purple lightning attacked Aguiwen from four directions, using the martial arts possessed by their holders.

The attack range of the anti-military Noble Phantasm was extremely large, but Agguiwen had no intention of dodging. With a ferocious smile on his face, he directly faced Minamoto no Raikou's Noble Phantasm. His only goal was to kill Minamoto no Raikou and move forward!

"How about this?"

Medea's magic bullet easily melted through the Royal Guard Knight's armor, blasting the flesh underneath into several pieces.

Faced with an opponent who had no chance of winning, the guards between the thrones had no intention of retreating. One after another, they stood in front of Jiang You and Medea, using their lives to block their progress.

"I have the urge to paint them gold."

Jiang You looked at these knights and seemed to have a vision, especially the big blond man at the top... Da Lei was still sitting on the throne.

"The world's survival is on the verge of collapse, and you're still thinking about those trivial things."

Medea often heard Jiang You say something she didn't understand. At first she tried to find out what it meant, but now she has learned to ignore it.

"My magic is ready. I'll throw you behind those knights. There's some restriction over there, and they don't seem to be qualified to step onto the stairs over there. Once you step onto the stairs, you won't be chased, and then you can meet the Lion King."

Without waiting for Jiang You to respond, Medea cast her magic directly. When Jiang You came to his senses, he was already in front of the stairs.

"Leave this to me."

Medea was holding back the Royal Guards. If she had been given enough time to prepare, she could have released a large-scale magic to clear the place out at once. However, time was running out and they were playing away, so Medea could only deal with them one by one.

Jiang You gave Medea a thumbs up and ran towards the throne.

The Lion King Altria sat on the throne, elegant and majestic.

Behind the throne is a blue-purple sky, gorgeous and dreamy, not like the human world.

It is indeed not the human world, but the view at the end of the world, a place closer to the eternal paradise of Avalon.

"It's so beautiful."

Jiang You sighed, a place that can be called a paradise must be beautiful beyond words, and what kind of scene would it be if the world was transformed completely?

"As a human tombstone, it is truly beautiful. This is the best way I can think of."

The Lion King stood up, and the silver spiral holy spear Longodemnyad slowly opened its interlaced shell, revealing the golden interior and releasing tremendous magical power.

"Even so, will you still be my enemy?"

"I really want to see what the end of the world looks like."

Jiang You shook his head, "But it's not about this week. Just let me give it a Happy End this time."

205

Chapter 205: Let’s fight, let’s fight this final battle!

"So, are you going to follow the procedure and give me a (?) shot and then duel, or are you going to just accept my duel invitation?"

Seeing that the Lion King fell silent, Jiang You invited her to a duel.

"I can see the situation outside. The attack will be ineffective against you."

Since Jiang You only appeared in this singularity for a few days, the Lion King didn't know much about the rules of Jiang You's Noble Phantasm, so she didn't know that if she didn't attack, Jiang You would be unable to do anything to her.

"Just duel directly. Skip any unnecessary steps."

"Then, the duel begins!"

Since the Lion King was so honest, Jiang You naturally wouldn't say much.

The duel space unfolds, and the rules cover the entire area.

Jiangyou LP 4000.

Altria LP 4000.

"This way of overriding the laws of the world is truly terrifying."

This was the first time Lion King entered a duel as the main combatant. In this state, she could feel the effect of Jiang You's Noble Phantasm more clearly. This was something that even she, who had almost become a god, could not understand. "If it were you, perhaps you could really change the outcome of the destruction of humanity."

"You mean you're going to surrender?"

Most servants' Noble Phantasms are light cannons, some are bigger and some are smaller. Jiang You's Noble Phantasm is indeed a rare item.

"You're joking."

The Lion King, however, became serious, a resolute emotion surfacing in her cold eyes. "Compared to your Noble Phantasm, you are far too weak. Besides, there's no reason for me to fail. If even I can't make it, then let human history end here! My turn!"

"First, the Spell Card, [Gathering of the Knights of the Round Table]! This card can only be activated when there are no Servants on our side of the field, or when only [Knights of the Round Table] are present. It Special Summon three [Knights of the Round Table] with different card names from your deck! Of course, the effects of the servants summoned by this effect are negated, and they cannot attack!"

As the Lion King, Altria naturally has some cards with more powerful effects.

"I Special Summon [Lancelot], [Gawain], and [Tristan]!"

The round table representing the Knights of the Round Table appeared in front of the Lion King. Three Knights of the Round Table stood up on the thirteen chairs.

【Lancelot】Attack power 2400.

[Gawain] Attack power 2500.

【Tristan】Attack power 2000.

A very classic tricolor knight.

"My king!"

The three Knights of the Round Table saluted in unison.

"Lancelot, you actually have the nerve to appear before the king!"

After seeing the knight beside him clearly, Gawain attacked directly.

"King, this fellow has betrayed his oath. Please withdraw his blessing. He has chosen to betray again!"

"king!"

Lancelot looked straight at the Lion King with a righteous look.

"You're wrong. This is a catastrophe even worse than the fall of the Age of Gods! You didn't give up back then, so why are you running away now? Storing humans as specimens—how could King Arthur do that? So I'm shouting out my warning to you. I'm going to correct you!"

Gawain's eyes nearly rolled back. Lancelot could have rebelled at any time, but not now. This guy must have met someone during the Chaldean expedition. Having worked with Lancelot for so long, Gawain knew his character all too well. He believed in Lancelot's abilities, but not his integrity.

"If you really think so, you should have started a loyal rebellion like Gareth and the others, not now!"

Tristan plucked the strings subconsciously. He had already been defeated and the blessing had disappeared. He no longer had anything to do with what happened next.

"is it?"

The Lion King looked at Lancelot calmly, his eyes neither angry nor blaming. This made Lancelot feel ashamed. "It doesn't matter. I said from the beginning that I would respect your choice. This isn't a just war. You could oppose me then, and you can oppose me now."

"King..."

Lancelot showed a rather sad expression. He thought it would be easier for the Lion King to rebuke him. Tristan was startled by Lancelot's expression, thinking his role was about to be taken away. "Bedivere would surely be very happy to hear you say this. Although he opposes your decision, as a Knight of the Round Table, he has never forgotten to search for you."

"Bedivere...who is it?"

The Lion King looked puzzled at the name Lancelot mentioned. She had no memory of this person.

"?!"

The three Knights of the Round Table were all very surprised. This was a member of the Round Table. How could the king forget the name of his companion?

If the Lion King hadn't mentioned it, Jiang You would have almost forgotten about this setting. This Lion King wasn't really a Heroic Spirit, but rather someone who had lived since the fall of Camelot. Because Bedivere hadn't returned the Holy Sword, the Lion King hadn't been able to enter Avalon.

But explaining it was too much trouble, so Jiang You decided to finish playing the cards first. After that, he could let the Lion King do whatever he wanted. On the contrary, if he lost, there would be no point in doing anything.

"I say, let's not dwell on this for now. Whether I win or lose, whether Lancelot rebels or not, it won't affect the outcome."

Jiang You looked at the brilliant purple in the sky and smelled a faint fragrance of flowers. This singularity was getting closer and closer to the end of the world.

"This battle between me and the Lion King is the final battle. This battle will determine the end of the world."

Lancelot also knew that what Jiang You said was true. Now they had not even walked out of the desert, let alone come to stop the Lion King.

"You have a point. This is the final battle!"

The Lion King nodded. The original Altria might have cared deeply about these things, but even that Altria would have put on a good front, swallowing her grievances and anger. But as the Lion King, she didn't care about these things at all. The rebuke Lancelot longed for was doomed to fail.

"I am stacking three Knights of the Round Table and summoning them here. [King of the Round Table, Altria]"

【Altria】Attack power 2500.

"Is this another me?"

Ahoge (after the original Artoria, all referred to as Ahoge) looked at the Lion King, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the armor that bulged high on his chest - that thing is hollow... right?

"How could I be the one giving up on the future? You're giving up without even trying! I'm going to stop you!" Even though Dai Mao was on the Lion King's field, he didn't support this version of himself at all. Knowing that the Age of Gods was doomed, Dai Mao fought tooth and nail to keep it going, even denying himself just to give it one more try. "Jiang You, I have no choice but to ask you. Defeat her!"

"Don't worry, I will win... I mean, with your support, how could I lose!"

Jiang You forcibly broke his flag.

206

Chapter 206: Artoria is good at rapid attacks.

"Useless attempts only add to the pain."

The Lion King looked at another possible self. Although they were the same person, their personalities and ways of doing things were completely different. "Knowing the limits of life and doing what one can do is what a king should do."

In fact, the Lion King is the way that Dai Mao wants to exist, which is more in line with her ideal. Dai Mao really hopes that she can look at the problem in this rational way, but she can't do it. Now it is a bit unreasonable for her to continuously oppose her ideal self.

"[Altria]'s effect will..."

Just as the Lion King was about to shout out the name of his weapon, something went wrong.

"[Sword of Contracted Victory]... don't you have it?"

The Lion King looked at her deck. Although her main weapon was the Holy Lance, she had also used the Holy Sword in the past, but now it seemed to be lost. But why was it lost...

The Lion King is not one to dwell on trivial matters; it makes no difference whether the [Sword of Contracted Victory] exists or not.

"Then proceed. I will Xyz-Summon the Rank 6 [Altria] I have placed on my field! Accept my protection. This is the end of you! [Lion King Altria]!"

【Lion King】Attack power 3500.

"My own effect, upon a successful Special Summon, equip a [Holy Spear Longomyniad] to myself!"

Unlike the deck in Mordred's hand, the Lion King here is in its complete form.

The golden holy spear, which had reached its current maximum power, burst out in the hands of the Lion King.
