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

Red A really couldn't stand Shirou Emiya's hesitation. He knew how to attack him most effectively.

"Worrying about this guy's safety and letting the incident that happened to Fuyuki ten years ago happen again is what you want?!"

"I won't be yours!"

"Oh? Then what are you going to do?"

Just when Rin was feeling a headache because of the tit-for-tat situation between the two, a soft hand rested on her shoulder. Rin turned her head and saw the girl she was familiar with: "Sakura?"

"Senior, don't worry about this kind of thing. Leave the things here to us."

Sakura Matou brought Medusa and Medea to the scene.

"Medusa, please."

Because Medusa has the ability to maneuver in the air, she can perfectly avoid the black mud and rescue Shinji Matou. She just needs to be careful to avoid the attacks of those proliferating limbs. With Medusa's riding level, it is very easy.

"As for the heart problem, Miss Medea can take care of it."

While Medea's Noble Phantasm, the opposite of Lily's [Repair of All Flaws], was a more refined version of hers, her healing magic was far more refined than it had been during her Lily days. While it would guarantee survival for a while, there were no guarantees for the future. "Shirou-senpai, feel free to rip my brother's heart out. It's urgent, so you can be a little rough. He won't mind."

Although Matou Sakura's smile was very gentle and virtuous, Emiya Shirou always felt that there was something else behind it. However, the basic thank you still had to be done.

"Sakura, thank you so much!"

"A heart transplant? You should talk to Asclepius about this. He'd probably be interested."

Medea felt extremely tired. She had just stabilized the barrier and rushed here without stopping.

"There's nothing we can do. Mr. Jason hasn't passed the critical period yet."

Sakura Matou had seen a charred human figure in Jiang You's book, so it would be too difficult for him to use his treasure now.

"I can only rely on you, Miss Medea."

Medea then realized that it was her own fault and turned her head away in embarrassment. She planned to let Jason go for a while after these things were over and have a good rest.

A silvery-white meteor streaked across the tower's summit. Medusa precisely entangled Shinji Matou, the core figure, with her weapon and ripped him free. However, the speed was so great that several of Matou's bones were broken. Fortunately, Shinji was in a deep coma, his vitality draining away, or else his tears would have splattered everywhere.

Because of Sakura, Medusa didn't have a good face towards Shinji Matou, so Shinji was thrown to the ground like garbage.

Then, having lost its core, the meat mountain went berserk. It forcibly grew a giant hand, attempting to plunder the core that could sustain it.

Chapter 155: Are you really not from the JOJO set?

"The job of defense is left to you."

Medea looked at the giant hand. It possessed only empty power. Without the influence of the black mud, any Heroic Spirit here, save Hassan, could easily defeat him. However, due to the influence of the evil of this world, hand-to-hand combat was impossible. Only highly mobile Heroic Spirits, and those skilled in ranged or large-scale attacks, would be easier to deal with.

"Don't worry, I won't let that guy get close to here until Shirou Emiya becomes the Lesser Holy Grail!"

At this time, Red A is full of energy.

"Why not just destroy the hole?"

Medusa felt that the hole was not very solid and could be destroyed by releasing her Noble Phantasm with all her strength.

"It's useless. Once Emiya Shirou finishes the surgery, the hole will reappear. To be more precise, the hole won't disappear until the magic power carried by the Servant's soul contained in the Lesser Holy Grail is completely consumed. Don't waste magic power here."

Toosaka Rin rejected this proposal, believing that the correct approach would be to wait until Shirou Emiya became a vessel and then defeat Angora Mainyu in a duel.

"Hurry up! My barrier won't hold for much longer. Mount Yuanzang is extremely high. Once the evil of this world escapes the barrier, it will spread down the mountain. Those who have just been evacuated will have no time to escape."

As she spoke, Medea used a knife to cut open Shinji Matou's chest and pulled out his heart.

The crudeness of the movements shocked everyone present.

"What's that expression on your face!"

Medea was exhausted and couldn't bear to see this. "After all, I'm still maintaining my healing magic! You, yes, you, what's your name... Forget it, Archer's Master. Come and give me a hand."

Among the several masters present, only Toosaka Rin's magic skills were acceptable. If he asked others to help, Shinji Matou would be dead soon.

"It's Jason's Master."

Toosaka Rin has not forgotten that it was Medea who stole her original Servant, otherwise she would not be the Master of this red traitor now.

Medea pulled Rin Tōsaka over and placed her hand on hers, instructing her on how to input magic. She had no intention of wasting time on Jason's question. "Feel that? Maintain this magic input. Until Emiya inherits this heart, this guy's life depends on you."

"Tousaka-san, I'm counting on you!"

Emiya Shirou also gave him an encouraging look.

"You put it lightly!"

Toosaka Rin only felt that Matou Shinji, who was thrown away from her chest, was like a dried fish that was cut into pieces.

"Are you ready, Emiya-kun?"

Medea came to Shirou Emiya holding a beating heart.

"It's going to hurt, bear with it."

Shirou Emiya nodded. He had already prepared himself. He took off his shirt and was about to lie down, but he saw Medea stabbing him with her heart.

Medea was kind-hearted. This behavior was like a chiropractor chatting with you and letting you subconsciously relax your body, which could appropriately reduce the pain.

Even with only E's strength, under the influence of the Age of Gods' strengthening magic, Medea's fingertip easily pierced Emiya Shirou's chest. The pain was beyond Emiya Shirou's comprehension. In that instant, his heart was forcibly removed, and the pain of his blood vessels being directly severed made Emiya Shirou scream out in agony.

Fortunately, Medea acted quickly and the process did not last long. Shinji Matou's heart was successfully connected to Shirou Emiya's blood vessels, and the function of the Holy Grail began to work.

"Such a healthy heart is a bargain for this guy."

Medea compared the two hearts and found that Shirou Emiya's was obviously much fresher.

Medea casually threw the heart into Matou Shinji's body and then used healing magic to sew up the damage.

"That's all, no need to pick it up?"

Toosaka Rin looked at Medea's actions in shock.

Medea raised her chin confidently. "This is the difference between magic from the Age of Gods and modern magic. Prometheus's condition is much more serious than his. Repairing this level of damage is simple. You should worry about the rejection reaction instead of that."

"Rejection reaction?"

Toosaka Rin was stunned again. She really didn't expect to hear such modern words from the mouth of a servant from the Age of Gods.

"No, this kind of thing can happen with magic!"

"Why else? Why else do you think Asclepius is called the God of Medicine?"

Medea looked in the direction of the Meat Tower. Under the cover of Medusa, Red A used Fantasy Collapse to continuously inflict effective damage to it. Because it had lost its core, the Meat Tower no longer had enough resources for proliferation and repair, and was slowly losing its activity.

But after Emiya Shirou became the Holy Grail, more black mud gushed out of that hole.

"Well……"

Emiya Shirou felt the immense prana in his heart, which was already affecting his normal movements. Just like Irisviel during the Fourth Holy Grail War, he was losing his normal human functions.

Unknown lines began to spread from Shirou Emiya's heart and slowly spread to his entire body.

Toosaka Rin quickly pulled Emiya Shirou up, because the black mud was gushing out more violently, and the place would be covered with black mud in a few minutes. If no one helped, Emiya Shirou would probably drown here.

For some reason, Emiya Shirou's body became extremely heavy, and even Tōsaka Rin was unable to pull him up.

So Toosaka Rin looked at the Red A who was closest to her. He seemed to be laughing at her troubled look, so Toosaka Rin shouted angrily: "What are you still standing there for? Come and help!"

At this time, Medea had used magic to float herself up, and Medusa also used Pegasus to carry Sakura Matou and left the scene.

Red A naturally couldn't leave his Master and himself alone, so he picked up the two of them with his arms, ready to rely on the Servant's jumping ability to reach a higher place.

But it failed, and Red A looked at Emiya Shirou in disbelief. He immediately threw Tōsaka Rin towards Medea.

"Red Archer, what are you doing!?"

Medea was not careful for a moment and almost fell into the black mud with Rin Tohsaka. She increased the output of magic power to stabilize her body.

Then the next second, she saw a pair of strange weapons pierce through Red A.

"Hahahaha, that's why naive guys like you are so stupid!"

Emiya Shirou laughed a laugh that was out of character for him, and the black mud surged towards him like a entity, submerging him and Red A together.

When Jiang You arrived here, he saw a servant with quite dark skin, a flat top and snow-white hair.

"Where did Father Pucci come from?"

156

Chapter 156: We still don’t know who the god was that Scathach killed?

"What are you standing there for! Don't get hit by his bullet!"

Seeing Jiang You staring blankly at the blackened Red A, Rin Tōsaka quickly warned him. Medusa's mount had been struck by Black A's bullet, which unleashed an infinite sword power within its body, causing the legendary creature to explode and die. This left Medusa relying on her own mobility to fight Black A.

Because the person driving Emiya Shirou's body was not himself, Jiang You's Noble Phantasm's coverage was refreshed, causing Red A to be successfully attacked by Angra Mainyu without any defense. He was then swallowed by the black mud.

Jiang You quickly realized that the thing that looked like it could release Heaven's Creation was actually Black A, constructed from the spiritual foundation of Red A. It was just an irrational version of Red A's spiritual foundation. But even so, Black A, with its infinite magical power and supported by the contaminated Holy Grail, possessed nearly infinite magical power, just like the Black Saber in the original story.

The implosion version of Infinite Sword Works was constantly mixed in with the ordinary bullets. If it weren't for the need to recite a short spell, Jiang You felt that every attack would probably be Infinite Sword Works.

"So, Red A's spiritual foundation was reversed, turning him into this state? But that shouldn't be the case... Is there a cult like Seshoin here?"

Jiang You quickly captured Angra Mainyu and Black A within the range of his Noble Phantasm. He checked the script's logo and saw it was FSN. He hadn't intruded into the world of FE.

Jiang You looked at the man bathing in the black mud under the hole again. The guy with tattoos all over his body had a face exactly like Shirou Emiya. In a sense, he was still following the original work: "So the container that Red A said he was looking for is Shirou Emiya? It's amazing that he could think of it and actually succeeded."

But Red A also got himself involved.

Angra Mainyu seemed to realize something and immediately stopped Black A's attack. He must have gained some of Emiya Shirou's memories, as he looked at Jiang You with interest: "Are you the owner of that Noble Phantasm? You want to use that thing to destroy me? Unfortunately, you can't do it. I am the evil of humanity, born from the desires of the heart. As long as humans have desires, I will exist. Look at this guy, he says he wants to save the world, but he still follows his own desires and constantly takes the lives of others!"

Jiang You didn't quite understand whether he was talking about the red A or the black A, but both fit the description.

"First of all, you underestimate my Noble Phantasm."

Jiang You said that there are so many things that can be done in duels in the world view of Yu-Gi-Oh!. Although he doesn't know where the upper limit of the collaboration with Fate is, it is more than enough to eliminate the evil of this world.

"Then, don't secretly elevate yourself. Do you take a title seriously? Look at Scathach's title of God Slayer. Look who she has killed."

Fortunately, Cu Chulainn was no longer around, otherwise if he heard Jiang You cue his master, he would have had a quarrel with Jiang You.

"No, Scathach has killed quite a few gods."

After all, Toosaka Rin had studied various myths for the Holy Grail War, and she spoke ordinary words on behalf of Cu Chulainn, who was no longer with us.

"That means you've changed history again."

Jiang You said something profound without any expression, but no one present understood. So he asked, "So, who did Scathach kill? Give me a name."

"..."

Toosaka Rin couldn't really answer, because the legend didn't mention what kind of god it was. It was just briefly mentioned in the legend, so it seemed that he was not a well-known person.

"You see."

Jiang You shrugged. Even if the Moon World's history and reality were different, it was still based on real-life legends. "So you're just an ordinary young man branded as 'all the evil in the world.' You can't be called the Lord of Darkness."

If it weren't for the Heroic Spirits correcting the situation according to the legend, this Angra Mainyu wouldn't have been able to taint the Holy Grail. A true being with this name wouldn't have been able to be successfully summoned in the Holy Grail War. It's even more likely that the true Angra Mainyu would have ended up despising the Holy Grail.

"You know me?"

Angra Mainyu hadn't expected that even after his name was removed from the "Record of All Things," someone could still know his past. But then he thought about Jiang You's Noble Phantasm, which also had a similar recording function. "A Noble Phantasm that records the past and the future, that makes sense."

"Then you should know why I do this. Humans are like this, blaming others for their own mistakes and hurting them for their own desires. Look, even those who claim to be righteous are paving their own path with their lives."

Angra Mainyu laughed, and the patterns on his body began to glow blue due to the infusion of magic power.

"Let me see if humans can withstand their own desires and malice."

Servants who believe in the dualism of good and evil are prone to extremes. However, what Angra Mainyu said was actually the King of Heroes' thoughts.

The black mud gushed out of the hole even more violently. With the addition of one more Servant's soul, the hole would be fully formed.

Jiang You understood his hatred, and also knew that what this guy named Angra Mainyu actually wanted was a peaceful daily life.

But this doesn't mean Jiang You will allow him to continue like this. His presence has already affected Jiang You's ability to achieve a happy ending: "Stop spitting black mud here and get back to the Throne of Heroes!"

"Illya, come save the world with me again."

Jiang You pulled Illya over. Ultimately, it was the Einzberns who were courting disaster in the Third War, otherwise there wouldn't have been so much trouble. Now, working with Illya to deal with Angora Mainyu was a complete success. He could also gain some goodwill while doing so. It was a perfect combination.

"This can't be considered saving the world, right?"
