Only after taking [Ur Faerie Realm (Pseudo)] into his hand did Jiang You realize it wasn't a single card, but a small stack.
[Ur Faerie Realm (Pseudo)]
1. While this card is face-up in the Spell & Trap Zone, increase the Attack Power of all your Servants by 500 and decrease the Attack Power of all enemy Servants by 500.
2. Once per turn, when you activate an effect that requires you to discard a card from your hand, you can draw 1 card from your Deck.
3. Once per turn, you can search your Deck for 1 Servant Card with "Faerie Realm" in its name.
4. When one of your Servants is destroyed by battle, you can banish 1 Spell Card from your Graveyard instead.
The first two effects were designed to synergize with Fairy Tristan's abilities, while the third and fourth corresponded to the city-building and Quetzalcoatl's arena within this Singularity.
Furthermore, the "Faerie Realm" archetype could link with Morgan's Deck, making it a decent reinforcement. Jiang You decided it was time to collect the cards of the other two Fairy Knights as well.
There were also some derivative cards, such as [Flying Dragon Archer of the Faerie Realm (Pseudo)] and [Wrestler of the Faerie Realm (Pseudo)]—strange lower-level cards that at least addressed the awkward lack of Normal Summon options in Fairy Tristan's Deck. Whether to actually include them, however, was still up for debate.
"What did you just do?"
Fairy Tristan, sensing the unusual state of their surroundings, quickly turned to Jiang You. She felt a powerful surge of magical power emanating from the card spinning in his hand—a power intimately connected to the world around them, as if Jiang You held the world itself in his grasp, just like that card.
"What did I do...? I think 'printing a card' would be a more fitting term."
Jiang You tossed the card directly to Fairy Tristan. After its creation, the quantity displayed in his inventory changed to ∞, meaning no matter how many he gave away, he would always have enough for a full playset of three. Since Fairy Tristan was a crucial part of this card's creation, it was only natural that she should be its owner.
Moreover, even Jiang You could feel that the card contained the very essence of this city. He quickly understood it was something akin to a housing system. "Take it," he said. "This is your eternal Faerie Realm. The city has been separated from the Singularity and won't disappear with it. Your wish to preserve it has been granted."
"Your Noble Phantasm can do this?"
Fairy Tristan's understanding of Jiang You's existence deepened once again. She now understood why Morgan valued him so highly.
"Honestly, I don't even know the full extent of what I can do," Jiang You admitted. "Let's just say its functions are still under development."
This game didn't even have a tutorial—or if it did, it was hidden so well that Jiang You couldn't find it. He had no idea just how many features were packed into this crossover event. Now, he only had two Blank Cards left and no clue where to get more. Tiamat was a Beast too, but he hadn't seen her drop any of these things.
"Regardless, thank you."
Fairy Tristan didn't understand what Jiang You was muttering about, but that didn't stop her from expressing her gratitude. This little episode earned Jiang You a significant amount of Affection from her, and his mailbox was suddenly flooded with Fairy Tristan-related cards.
Quetzalcoatl and Tiamat arrived, their expressions growing complicated as they stared at the card in Fairy Tristan's hand.
"Jiang You... you should do things like this less often."
Quetzalcoatl's gaze remained fixed on the card. "What you've done is essentially create a Singularity independent of time and the world. While it won't affect the Human Order, it's like tearing a piece of flesh from this planet—a wound that can never heal."
Tiamat nodded in agreement. "Indeed. I heard the planet's cry. Child, if you can, you should seal this ability of yours."
"Is it really that serious?"
Jiang You knew that turning people into cards in the original Yu-Gi-Oh! was a pretty evil act, but surely it wasn't as catastrophic as they were making it out to be. Faced with their intensely serious expressions, he had no choice but to concede. "...Alright, I understand. I'll be more careful next time."
Though he said this, Jiang You inwardly scoffed at their concerns. This was card printing—who could possibly resist such power? Besides, he hadn't made a firm promise, just a vague "I'll be more careful next time."
Satisfied with his response, Tiamat and Quetzalcoatl offered a few more words of caution before departing.
This was the perfect opportunity to farm Affection with Fairy Tristan. A few more well-chosen words might even unlock a CG scene—a story CG for a card mat or sleeves, of course. This was a wholesome game, after all.
But before Jiang You could speak, a shooting star streaked across the sky and hurtled straight toward him.
The meteor ignored inertia, coming to a dead stop right in front of Jiang You.
But while the bow-shaped Heavenly Boat could defy physics, its passenger couldn't. Ishtar lost her balance and tumbled off, skidding face-first for over ten meters.
Fortunately, her body was that of a Divine-Tier Servant, so she didn't completely grind her face off. She clambered to her feet, clutching her nose. "Seriously! You started a banquet without me? After I've been shuttling back and forth, delivering intel and supplies for you all! How could you forget me? You're all so disrespectful!"
"Relax, the night is still young," Jiang You replied. "The banquet will last until morning. How could we ever forget you?"
Only then did Jiang You remember that he had, in fact, forgotten Ishtar. Given how much she resembled Rin Tohsaka, he really shouldn't have.
"Tiamat just brewed a new batch of thick soup. You have to try it. It's incredible—it even replenishes magical power. But whatever you do, don't ask about the ingredients. Trust me, you don't want to know."
"Now that you say that, I'm even more curious!"
Her interest piqued by the novelty, Ishtar was about to enter the hall when she suddenly remembered something and froze in her tracks.
"You have the ability to pull other Servants to your side, right?" she asked. "You didn't pull that gloomy girl here too, did you...? Let me be clear: it's not that I'm afraid of her, but we don't get along. Her presence would ruin the mood!"
"Don't worry," Jiang You began. "Eresh can't leave the Underworld while she's on this land..."
He trailed off, suddenly realizing that Eresh was still preparing for battle. There was no way to send signals between the Underworld and the surface, so she had no idea the war was already over.
"Oh, crap!"
"What's wrong?"
Before Ishtar could ask more, Jiang You lunged at her.
"Sorry, but I need to borrow your body for a bit!"
If Ishtar fell asleep during the night, Eresh could use her body to come to the surface. Jiang You planned to knock her out with a hand chop.
But, well... the result was the same as when he'd tried it on Kingu.
Even in a card game, Jiang You thought, I really need to learn some martial arts.
