How come the Ace of Cups isn't considered the Holy Grail?

Having merged with the beast of 666, she instantly received, understood, and sorted out all the extra information that appeared in her mind.

This Noble Phantasm's effect can completely suppress even Beast... Is that why you were summoned?!

Upon discovering that she could neither sense nor use magic, she showed a look of shock and anger. The Duel Disk on her arm unfolded, extending the area of ​​monsters, magic, and traps with ten crimson horns pointing diagonally upwards and downwards on the outside.

"Then so be it! Come! I will obliterate your soul along with this ritual!"

"DUEL!" ×2

【Satō Aika LP: 8000】

【Yoto LP: 8000】

"My turn!" The girl's and the dragon's voices rang out the instant the duel disk determined who would go first.

"I Normal Summon [Fallen Angel of Joy] from my hand!" Ayaka Sajou decisively placed a card on the Duel Disk, her movements so practiced it was hard to believe she was a first-timer in duels.

A fallen angel with a single wing and one horn landed on her field, surrounded by a scarlet halo with spikes sticking out from it. Her blue skin and halo-like eyes made her look more like a blue-faced, fanged demon from hell than an angel.

Chapter 225 Fallen Angels

"Activate the monster effect of [Fallen Angel of Joy]!"

"If this card is Normal or Special Summoned, select two different Level 'Fallen Angel' monsters from your hand or Deck, except for 'Fallen Angel of Joy'. Special Summon one of them to your opponent's field in Defense Position, and add the other to my hand!"

Below, churning in the black mud, wisps of black energy emanated from the people who were indulging in their own desires, gathering in Aika Sajou's hands and on the field where Yuwatari was.

"I Special Summon [Fallen Angel Ukobak] from my Deck to your field in Defense Position, and add [Fallen Angel Ishtarb] to my hand!"

The condensed black energy on the field of wandering transformed into a short, fallen angel resembling a dwarf.

His limbs and head were equipped with black armor, and his coarse cloth clothes were crossed by chains, covering his muscular body. A pair of bright red wings spread out behind him.

Yuuto breathed a sigh of relief, finally relieved that he wasn't constantly thinking about finding someone to play cards with after entering the duel.

Fortunately, this was a proper Fallen Angel deck, otherwise he was really afraid that a card like "Super Demon God Self" would be pulled out onto his field.

【Fallen Angel Ukobak】

【3 stars】

[Angel Race/Dark]

[Defense: 1000]

Ukobak, summoned to the field, had no effect to activate, while the dark energy from Ayaka Sajou's side condensed into a card that landed in her hand.

Then, along with the other card she had chosen, she mercilessly sent it to the graveyard.

"The effect of [Fallen Angel Ishtarb] in my hand activates! Discard her and 1 [Fallen Angel] card from your hand, and draw 2 cards from your deck!"

Card switch!

The two cards vanished from her hands, but people's desires immediately offered her two new cards.

"I activate the Normal Spell Card 'The Altar of Fallen Angels' from my hand! Based on this card's effect, I can Special Summon 1 'Fallen Angel' monster from my Graveyard in Defense Position!"

The black mud transformed into a stone altar that rose from the ground. Countless layers of black mud followed one after another, covering the altar layer by layer, from wide to narrow, from large to small, until it finally stopped at the place where the long staircase leading to heaven appeared on the horizon.

With a cold expression, Sajou Aika stood atop the dragon head, at the highest level of the altar. With just a turn and a step, she could ascend the long staircase behind her and journey to that beautiful heaven.

But she didn't care, letting people's desires pollute the long staircase, and what she received was not a messenger from heaven, but a fallen angel.

"I Special Summon [Fallen Angel Ishtarb] from the Graveyard in Defense Position!"

The purplish-haired girl with brown skin wore a tight-fitting black leather outfit that clung to her shapely figure, with only a small opening at her navel. Different colors, styles, and lengths of stockings—black on the left and white on the right—covered her full, firm legs.

Three pairs of black wings with some bat-like features slowly unfurled, revealing her concealed body to the crowd. Beneath the crimson halo that resembled rotating ring blades, there seemed to be another pair of small bat wings that folded and adhered to her head like a hat.

【Fallen Angel Ishtab】

【10 stars】

[Angel Race/Dark]

[Defense: 2900]

"Next up is the monster effect of [Fallen Angel Ishtarb]!"

The altar had completed its task but had not yet disappeared. Sajō Ayaka raised her hand and pointed to the brown-skinned girl on her field. The girl had used purple magic to draw a flower-shaped magic circle resembling a five-pointed star on the altar.

"Pay 1000 Life Points, target 1 'Fallen Angel' Spell/Trap Card in your Graveyard, and apply its effect! Then, return that card from the Graveyard to the Deck!"

"I pay 1000 Life Points! I activate the effect of the Spell Card [Fallen Angel's Ring] again! I Special Summon [Fallen Angel Nelgal] from my Graveyard in Defense Position!"

[Satō Aika LP: 8000→7000]

Reproduction, reproduction—isn't this also a kind of reproduction?

The magic circle on the altar shone brightly, and the intangible black mist that surged from it filled a dark suit of armor and formed a human shape. Its face was like a skull, and its bird-like wings gradually turned from pure white to pitch black.

【Fallen Angel Nelgal】

【8 stars】

[Angel Race/Dark]

[Defense: 2500]

Only then did the altar and the heavenly path finally disappear.

The true nature of the cards that were previously sent to the graveyard along with Ishtarb has also been revealed. The spell cards that were used twice in a row in the graveyard can finally be retired and returned to the deck to wait for the next opportunity to be used.

Meanwhile, another green card had been waiting in Ayaka Sajou's hands for a long time!

"The Spell Card 'Exile of the Fallen Angel' is activated! This card allows me to add 1 'Fallen Angel' card from my Deck to my hand, excluding 'Exile of the Fallen Angel'!"

"I'm adding [The Rebellious Fallen Angel] to my hand!"

People's desires transformed into the power of Aika Sajou, appearing in her hand as a crimson card, which she then placed into her hand card.

With another wave of her hand, her [Fallen Angel of Joy] and [Fallen Angel Ishtarb], which had been used and was now less important than Nelgal, flew into the sky and into the dark circuit that had appeared out of nowhere.

"Circuit activated! Arrow confirmed! ↙↘!"

"Summoning conditions: 2 Fairy-Type monsters! Using 2 of my monsters as Link Materials! Link Summon!"

"L-ink2! [The Fallen Angel of Lost Paradise]!"

The black circuit, with two arrows lit up on the lower left and right, opened like a door in the center, revealing a pure white space inside that radiated holy light like paradise.

As the hymn played, a white-haired mature woman, complete with wings and horns, and dressed in a fitted black dress that completely covered her body, slowly descended amidst the fluttering black feathers.

The Fallen Angel Who Lost Paradise

【L-ink2】

[Angel Race/Dark]

[Attack power: 1600]

Despite being a fallen angel, the aura surrounding her appearance made her seem more like an angel than a real angel.

"I activate the effect of [Fallen Angel of Paradise]! I discard 1 card from my hand and add [Fallen Angel Lucifer] from my Deck to my hand!"

Sending the newly retrieved "Rebellious Fallen Angel" to the graveyard, Ayaka Sajou then flips over the card "Fallen Angel Lucifer" and shows it to Yuuto on the other side.

"I will show you the 11-star [Fallen Angel Lucifer] in my hand, and Special Summon [Angel O1] from my hand!"

The tiny angel, with a height of about two heads, successfully surpassed the Fallen Angel Ukobak on the field, becoming the shortest monster in the entire event.

【Angel O1】

【1 stars】

[Angel Race/Light]

[Defense: 300]

"As long as the Special Summoned [Angel O1] is in the Monster Zone, I can Tribute Summon one Level 7 or higher monster in face-up Attack Position once during the Main Phase, except for Normal Summon!"

Sajō Aika's finger moved from the little angel to the white-haired mature woman in the Extra Monster Zone.

"When [Fallen Angel of Paradise] is in the Monster Zone, if I want to perform a Tribute Summon of an Angel-Type monster that requires the Tribute of two monsters, I can choose not to Tribute the two monsters, but instead banish the two monsters from the Graveyard to perform the Tribute Summon!"

"I will exclude the Fallen Angel of Joy and the Fallen Angel Ishtar from the graveyard! Come and witness the strongest angel below the gods! Superior Summon!"

"Descend, [Fallen Angel Lucifer]!"

Chapter 226 V·F·D!

At this moment, the black aura formed from countless desires surged towards Ayaka Sajou's field like a tidal wave.

Accompanied by a faint hymn that seemed to come from nowhere, pure white feathers fell from the sky like raindrops. A handsome young man with white hair had a pair of small bat wings in his hair and a crimson halo that represented corruption above his head. His figure condensed in the countless black wisps.

Representing the three pairs of wings of a former highest-ranking angel, shaped by human desires, and adorned with scarlet gems in fitted black armor, he knelt on the ground and reached into the black mud, from which he drew a one-handed longsword with a light blue blade.

Lucifer, the Fallen Angel

【11 stars】

[Angel Race/Dark]

[Attack power: 3000]

"Hey, hey, hey, this name isn't exactly a good one, is it?!"

As the two heroes who bravely ventured into the Demon King's castle, Arash and Arthur also saw what was happening on Yudo's side through a screen broadcast to them from the Demon King's side.

One of these two people sensed that their Master was safe through the magical energy constantly transmitted from the contract, so they weren't worried. The other person's Master was the mastermind behind it all, and was even safer than the two people in question...

Upon hearing the name mentioned by Ayaka Sajou, and learning how the deck of Yuwatari's opponent in the duel was formed, he couldn't help but gasp.

Arash's facial muscles twitched as he looked at the white-haired youth who, even through the broadcast, exuded an extraordinary divine aura.

Huh? No, really?

Is this beast Lucifer, who was once hailed as the one closest to God?

And then they have to deal with this guy?

Is this really a battle that a highly skilled archer like him should be involved in?

Arash was bewildered in the wind, while Arthur stared blankly at the familiar yet now utterly unfamiliar figure in the scene.

He still can't understand when his Master became the mastermind behind the Holy Grail War.

Saya Aika in the video shows no sign of stopping there.

"The effect of [Fallen Angel Lucifer] can only be activated if this card is successfully Tribute Summoned!"

The white-haired youth rose, and the desire that permeated the entire city gathered in his hand, condensing into a crystal that emitted a dazzling red light, making Aika Sajou, whose face had some patterns, appear even more alluring.

"I can Special Summon up to the number of 'Fallen Angel' monsters my opponent controls from my hand or Deck!"

At this moment, Yuwatari only has one Effect Monster on the field, which is "Fallen Angel Ukobak" that Sajou Ayaka summoned using the effect of "Fallen Angel of Joy". Therefore, she can Special Summon one "Fallen Angel" monster.

"Come forth! [Fallen Angel Tescatlipoca]!"

The crystal in Lucifer's hand shattered into the same shape as the halo above his head. He casually tossed it aside, and a new ring floated beside him. The black mist gathered towards the ring he had thrown, like a pack of dogs throwing a twig at someone.

A mechanical fallen angel, whose joints are visible as mechanical structures, with white fur around his waist and shoulders, and wearing an Indian-style feathered crown, landed on the field waving wings that were a combination of pterosaur and bird wings.
