Chapter 1329: Sent to the table opposite the player of the Divine Monument

"Let me start first. Draw the cards!"

With his quick hands and because Hayato was intentionally letting him go first, the masked man in white robe easily took the initiative. He drew the first five cards from his deck and then drew another card and said, "Before that, let me introduce myself."

"My name is Lopt, a magician who is waiting for the birth of the King of Destiny. My destiny is to serve that great king." Placing the drawn card on the Duel Board, the masked man who calls himself "Lopt" said, "First, I activate the magic card [Rough Man's Prediction] to Special Summon a Normal Monster of Level 4☆ or less from my Deck."

"I Special Summon [Big Charcoal 18] in Defense Position."

On the field of Loput, a big tree rose from the ground and grew rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it grew from a sapling into a tree man, just like a ninja who can make anything he wants with a clap of his hands. However, at the moment when the tree man took shape, a bolt of lightning suddenly fell and ignited the tree man, burning the tree man who was full of vitality just now into a charcoal sitting on the ground motionless.

"It's not over yet. I'm going to activate the Continuous Spell Card [Peacemaker], and declare that face-up monsters with 1500 or more attack points cannot attack."

After inserting the second card into the duel disk, Lopt continued, "As a price, as the controller of this card, I need to pay 100 basic points during each of my preparation phases, or pay no basic points and let this card be destroyed."

"Lightning hits the trees... There's no intention of hiding their identity at all." Seeing [Big Charcoal 18] on Lopt's field, Mimir, who couldn't be called out by Hayato just now, ran out without permission and said, "Use a combination of high defense monsters and sealed attack monsters to defend?"

“But it’s not offensive at all.”

"It's not over yet. I'll activate this card next." Lopt inserted another card into the duel disk. A card with a similar green border appeared next to [Peacemaker]. "Continuous magic card, [Wave Cannon]!"

"During my Main Phase, I can send this face-up card on the field to the Graveyard, and inflict effect damage to my opponent equal to the number of my Standby Phases that elapsed after activating this card x 1000."

After a pause, Lopt's voice was somewhat proud, "In other words, if you still fail to defeat me after four of my preparation stages, you will receive a full 4000 points of effect damage at once!"

"Wow, what a powerful combo." Hayato said sarcastically, "I haven't defeated you even in the preparation stage of your fourth round, so I deserve to lose."

Without paying attention to what Hayato said, Lopt activated the card again: "I will then activate the second [Wave Cannon] to advance the time of your defeat to after the preparation phase of two of my turns!"

"Finally, I put down the last two cards in my hand, and the round ends."

[Lopt: 4000LP, 0 cards in hand]

"Oh my god, it's a 'T' shape, so strong, so strong." Hayato clapped his hands and praised, "It's really a formation full of the sense of the times. This level of power is as necessary to Duel Monsters as Blue is to [Pearl Tears]."

"By the way, how many cards did you have in your deck at the beginning?"

"Forty, and now there are thirty-three left. What's wrong?" Loput asked curiously.

"Oh, nothing, I just wanted to see how well you've learned subtraction within thirty-three." Hayato waved his hand and said casually, pulling out an illusory card from the duel disk. "Then my turn begins, draw a card."

"First, activate the continuous magic card, [Deception of the Divine Monument]."

The mere activation of the card would not have made Lopt care much, but what he did not expect was that when Hayato activated the card, there was only one person standing in front of the [Fountain of the Divine Monument], holding the "gem fragment" in the fountain from the first person perspective, but after a flash of light, his figure gradually appeared in the card! ?

"That's, me!?"

"Isn't it obvious? The one wearing the mask and the white robe is you." Hayato said casually, "You actually appear in the card of [Deception of the Divine Monument]. Are you hiding some unspeakable truth?"

"That's not much evidence." Loput's heart skipped a beat, but he said stubbornly, "There is nothing false in what I said. I am indeed following my destiny and waiting for the birth of the king of destiny who deserves my loyalty and submission."

"Really? Maybe, but an incomplete truth is no different from a lie." Hayato continued to say something that made Lopt feel guilty, but he didn't delve into it and easily skipped the topic, explaining the effect of the card, "There can only be one copy of [Deception of the Divine Monument] on my field. Every time I or the opponent's duelist activates a Quick-Play Spell Card, its second effect is activated, and a card is removed from the top of the opponent's deck."

Under the mask, Lopt raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly, "So that's why you asked me to remember the number of cards in my deck? But even if the second effect of that card is not restricted to being used only once per turn, and each time a Quick Play Magic Card is activated, you can only banish one card, how many cards can you banish after two turns? That level of interference is simply insignificant."

"How optimistic! If it were me, I would have skipped the process and started the real duel directly if I saw the person at the opposite table play a [Divine Monument]." Hayato said, and played a card, "Then first is this card, the Quick-Play Magic Card [Divine Monument Spike First]. You can only activate one card with this card name per turn, and you have to choose one from the two effects to activate. And after this card is activated, my next battle phase will be skipped."

"Here I chose the first effect, adding a [Divine Monument] card other than [Ear of Divine Monument] from my deck to my hand, and then removing the top two cards from the opponent's deck." The so-called "Ear of Divine Monument" superficially refers to "the tip of something as slender as an ear of rice". The card image also shows the scene where Hayato drove the "gem fragment" to take out the long sword just now, but the ear of Divine Monument here obviously does not refer to the long sword in Hayato's right hand, but only the "fragment" in his left hand, as if implying that there is some secret hidden in it.

The long sword that Hayabusa took out in this card is the only one among the weapons of the [Divine Monument] on hand that has runes engraved on it. Although Hayabusa has never systematically studied the "general runes", he can subconsciously know that it is one of the runes of the Tyr group among the three major groups of runes, "Tiwaz", which represents the one-armed god of war Tyr in Norse mythology who restrained the giant wolf Fenrir at the cost of his arm.

In addition, this rune also means warriors and adventure when in the positive direction, but Lupte does not seem to intend to let Hayato enjoy its positive effects, and decisively changed it to the reverse direction, which means a state of stagnation.

"Chain [Divine Monument's Spike First], open the cover card on my backfield, and counter the trap [Devil's Palace's Bribe]!"

Lopt sneered, "Want to retrieve the key card in your deck? That won't work. Use this [Bribe of the Demon Palace] to negate it. And because it is a Counter Trap Card, only a Counter Trap with the same Spell Speed ​​3 can be chained to it."

"It can only be activated when the opponent activates a Spell or Trap Card. Under the effect of [Bribe of the Demon Palace], the activation is negated and destroyed. As compensation, the opponent draws a card." After a pause, Lopt added, "Also because the activation is negated, your [Deception of the Monument] cannot activate its effect to banish the top card of my deck. I still have thirty-three cards left in my deck!"

"It's a bit uncomfortable to have my search blocked, but I'm not using Skyman but Divine Monument, so I have plenty of search points." Hayato drew a card from the deck, still with five cards in his hand, glanced at the card he drew, and played it, "For example, this Planet Transformation, although it's not a Quick-Play Magic Card and can't trigger Divine Monument's Deception, it can still search for the card I want."

"Activate the magic card [Planet Transformation], retrieve the field magic card [Fountain of Divine Monument] from my deck, and activate it directly!"

The ground trembled, and a pool of water pushed open the solid rock ground and emerged from the surface. A spring of water flowed out from the stone seat that was still intact, filling the pool. Mimir opened his scarlet left eye and looked forward, saying coolly: "The waves are my shield, the thunder is my blade—"

"Ah, it collapsed!" Noticing the sound coming from behind him, Mimir turned around and saw that the bricks and stones around the dried-up old spring had collapsed due to the vibration just now. He cried out in sadness after a second of delay.

"At least during the duel, be quiet and stop making so much noise." Hayato kicked Mimir's horns and watched him push the horns back when they almost fell off the ground. He continued, "Field Spell Card [Fountain of Divine Monument], as long as this card exists in the Field Zone, I can activate the Quick-Play Spell Card [Divine Monument] directly from my hand during my opponent's turn."

"But the duel will end before your turn comes. Are you ready to start subtraction practice, Loput? One last word, the card cutting is going to speed up!"

The second step after Hayato activated the field was to play another Quick-Play Magic Card of [Divine Monument] in his hand, "Quick-Play Magic Card [Golden Shizuku Divine Monument], also activates one of the two effects, and after activating it, skips my next battle phase."

  (Pronunciation: Huangjinzhizhishi's monument)

In the card, there is nothing else except a golden bracelet and many replica-like golden ornaments. It looks like it is just raining golden bracelets, but in the duel, it is the "rain" that Loput doesn't like at all.

"Under the effect of [Golden Shizuku's Monument], the opponent draws a card from their deck. However, miracles and magic are not free. After that, [Golden Shizuku's Monument] will also banish the top four cards of the opponent's deck."

After drawing a card from the deck and seeing that it was the magic card [Death Meteor] that could directly cause 1000 points of damage, Lopt was delighted. However, after seeing the four excluded cards disappearing at the top of his deck, his expression turned grim. However, Hayato could not see it because of the mask.

"Even so, I still have 28 cards left in my deck—"

"Wrong, it should be twenty-seven. No, actually it should be less." Hayato raised the Duel Disk. There were no physical cards in his palm or on the Duel Disk. This was one of the characteristics of the next-generation Duel Disk. However, when necessary, such as at this moment, Hayato could still temporarily transform the cards into illusory images and hold them in his hands to show them to Lopt. "If both parties activate a Quick-Play Magic Card, activate it. Use the effect of [Deception of the Divine Monument] to banish the top card of the opponent's deck."

"Then chain and activate this Quick-Play Magic Card, [Monument of the God of Curse Removal], which can be activated when the opponent adds a card to his hand other than the Draw Stage. I randomly select a card from the opponent's hand and discard it, then banish the top two cards from the opponent's deck!"

The power to dispel magic entangled Hayato's hands. There was no need to hold the cards in his hand, so he could freely make the same movements as in the card. Hayato looked at Lopt and said, "Now, I want you to 'randomly' discard a card from your hand! That one!"

". The opponent only has one card in hand, right?" Mimir complained, watching Hayato's magic being pushed out and acting on Lopt's only card, forcing him to discard the card. Seeing the card he discarded, Mimir also raised his eyebrows, "It's actually a card that directly causes effect damage. It's really lucky that he didn't play it."

Two copies of [Divine Monument of Curse Removal] and one card except [Divine Monument of Deception], Lopt's deck was reduced by three cards again, leaving only twenty-five cards.

However, just as the chain of [Divine Monument's Deception] and [Divine Monument of Curse Removal] was resolved, Lupte looked at Hayato with a gloomy face, and saw that the [Divine Monument's Deception] with his image printed on it on the back field had once again met the activation conditions.

"Because of the activation of [God's Monument of Curse Removal], the effect of [God's Monument of Deception] is activated again, and a card on the top of the opponent's deck is removed." After a pause, Hayato suddenly pointed at Mimir and said, "In addition, once per turn, when I activate the quick-play magic card of [God's Monument], I use the second and strongest effect of [God's Monument of Fountain]!"

"You can activate this by targeting up to three quick-play magic cards of [Divine Monument] in your graveyard. I choose [Divine Monument of the Ear], [Divine Monument of the Golden Shizuku], and [Divine Monument of the Curse Removal]."

“I will return these three cards to the bottom of the deck in the order I like, and then after that, I will draw cards from the deck that are equal to the number of cards I returned!”

Upon hearing this, Mimir cooperated by scooping up the water from the Fountain of Wisdom and was about to sprinkle it out to replenish Hayato's strength.

I can see information about Black Myth: Wukong everywhere these days, but why is it still more than 70 years before I can play it? (I’m so annoyed
