What era is it, still traditional card making

"It's incredible, isn't it? The quality of a forged sword has nothing to do with the material technology, but rather with the forger's mentality at the time.
But this is the peculiarity of you fairies.
That is why the World Tree made your personality like a blank sheet of paper when it created you.
The swords forged by fairies are basically related to their experiences. If the fairies have been wronged and want to take revenge on the world, then the goblins will inevitably have a desire for destruction in the process of forging the sword, and the swords they forge will also be related to the power of destruction.
If the fairies had not suffered any grievances in their growth process and had grown up happily, then the swords he forged would have had positive abilities.
Just like the ancestor of fairies, she was born under the world tree, loved by her mother and elder brother, and loved by fairies. During her growth, she never met any bad people, and her childhood was filled with happiness.

With this experience in mind, she forged the sword named "Sword of Dawn" when she forged the sword for the first time. Surrounded by happiness, she also hopes to give her happiness back to others, hoping to forge a sword that brings dawn to the suffering. "

When she said this, there was a hint of sarcasm in the woman's tone, and she continued:
"In fact, she did it. The Sword of Dawn did bring dawn to the suffering, saved the world, and brought a bright future to many races. But it failed to bring light to the holder of the sword, and you, as the forger, will live in darkness forever."

"Do you think it's unfair?"

The woman did not make any reply, but continued to speak:

"I am very curious. Since you, who are surrounded by happiness, have forged the Sword of Dawn, then what swords have the fairies, who are shrouded in despair, forged?"

"The goblins are dead."

"No, there is still a goblin alive, right?"

"She doesn't feel hopeless, and nothing can make her feel hopeless."

The woman seemed to have thought of something and suddenly chuckled:
"Yes, that's right. She likes to escape. Because of her weird personality, she didn't establish any bond with the fairies living on the other side of the world. Therefore, even when she saw them die on the Dragon Star of Nixhos, she didn't feel any emotion.
Because in her opinion, those who died were not her fellow tribesmen, but just a group of strangers.

I have observed the fairy Custer for a long time. Her personality is completely opposite to yours. In the eyes of this fairy, her own life is the first priority. She will only be willing to do something for others if her own life is not threatened."

When she said this, her tone became a little doubtful:

"Logically speaking, my judgment should not be wrong. After the fairy finds an opportunity to leave the other side of the world, he should not choose to come back."

"She has come back?"

"She is afraid of death and has no close relationship with Luge and the others. There is no reason for her to return to this hellhole again. After thinking about it, the only variable is you. You did something in secret, so Custer chose to return to the other side of the world and face the disaster that she should not have faced."

"I didn't do anything."

"No, you did it, you definitely did it. Even if you are left with only a broken soul, I still don't believe that you will do nothing. However, none of this matters anymore. Custer's return can't change anything. Everything is ready. Sister Aquinas, just wait and see. It will be over soon... soon."

Aquinas saw the "spirit" floating around the woman.
Indeed, just as the other party said, everything is ready, and the remaining four natural disasters are also trapped in the utopia. As long as the last "spirit" is collected,
The woman stretched out her hand, and the golden figure soon became a little shaky. Then she was sucked away and became one of the "spirits" that were floating around the woman.

After doing all this,
The woman looked towards the throne not far away, and then said:

"It's time to start."

As soon as the words fell, a figure appeared.
On the throne, she was as silent as a snowy field on a winter night, her long silver hair falling like a waterfall woven by moonlight, with the hair ends entangled with the breath of frost that never dissipates. The dark purple royal robe was embroidered with withered rose patterns, and each petal was soaked with traces of curses. The iconic two pairs of transparent wings behind her and the pointed ears proved her identity.

She is a pure-blooded fairy.

The only difference was that she didn't have the carefree smile that the fairies had. Instead, her expression was filled with gloom and coldness. This kind of emotion shouldn't and couldn't appear on a fairy.

Because no one would want to know what kind of sword a fairy like this would forge.

The sword she forged was probably filled with destruction and despair.

The Fairy Queen tapped the ground with her scepter to show off, and then the whole space suddenly reversed, and she and the woman under the throne were hanging upside down on the ceiling of the throne room.
The original ground turned into a huge mirror, and what was reflected in the mirror was not the present, but the utopia where blood flowed like a river 72 hours later.
In the center of the mirror, there was a sword of despair shrouded in thick black air.

Custer returned to the other side of the world, and what appeared before her was a scene like the end of the world.

It was completely different from the scene she had just seen in her mind.

After seeing this scene, Custer, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly seemed a little timid.
Could it be that the guy didn't cheat on her?
Shouldn't she have come back?
Custer shook his head, denying the negative thoughts in his mind.
Think of the old saying: the more the enemy opposes her, the more it proves that she is right.

What she needs to do now is very simple. Return to Utopia and tell Lord Luge what is happening on Blue Star. Then she can retire with her mission accomplished.

Thinking of this, her steps suddenly became much firmer.
But before she took the first step, a biting cold wind blew over, making her shiver unconsciously.

Although she had just encouraged herself, the world on the other side now seemed very dangerous no matter how she looked at it.
the other side,
In the ideal town,

Ye Qiong could feel that time was going backwards at a rapid speed.

The towering trees were shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, the blooming flowers were turning back into buds, and the green grass was gradually turning into desolate land.

Ye Qiong didn't know to what extent time would go backwards before stopping. All he could do now was to wait patiently.

He was not too panicked because, unlike others, his abilities were not completely taken away by the fantasy realm.

At this moment, the only remaining power in his body is called "Power of Nothingness". This power from the Last King still remains in his body.

To be honest, Ye Qiong actually hoped that this power could leave his body as time went backwards.

After all, the power of the Last King is not a good thing. If he holds the power of nothingness for a long time, it will easily transform his body into a self-destructive state. If the special rules of the utopia and the fantasy realm are combined together to extract the power of nothingness from his body, this may be a good thing.

Seeing that the phenomenon of time going backwards was still continuing, Ye Qiong simply sat cross-legged on the ground and watched everything in front of him quietly.

The four words "the sea has changed a lot" are absolutely appropriate for this scene.
The land shrank, rivers flowed backwards, and the mountains in the distance seemed to be kneaded by invisible hands, with peaks collapsing and rising, eventually turning into a primitive wasteland. The clouds in the sky were like an inverted scroll, sometimes condensing into storms, sometimes dispersing into mist, and even the sun's brilliance became flickering in the reverse flow of time.

The power of nothingness in the body is still flowing slowly, like a shadow that cannot be erased by time.
Ye Qiong could feel that this power had not weakened due to the reversal of the world. Instead, it seemed to be reinforced by some rules and was more stubbornly rooted in his soul.

"Sure enough, the power of the last king is not so easy to be stripped away." He smiled bitterly.

At this moment, the reversal of time seemed to have reached a critical point. The barren land no longer changed, the withered vegetation completely disappeared, and the whole world seemed to have returned to its most primitive state.

Ye Qiong stretched out his hand tentatively. He had already gotten out of the observer mode and was now able to move freely.

He looked around and realized that he was in the Silver Moon Forest. However, the Silver Moon Forest here should be the Silver Moon Forest from thousands of years ago.
The best proof of this is the flock of birds flying high in the sky.
In the Silver Moon Forest on the other side of the world, there is no life except fairies.

Such a vibrant scene right now is naturally impossible to appear on the other side of the world.

If Ye Qiong guessed correctly, this should be the Azure Continent from long ago. The time point where he is now is probably the Azure Continent not long after the ancestors of all the races left.
At this time, conflicts had not yet occurred, and all major races lived in harmony on this continent.

Looking from afar, Ye Qiong could clearly see an extremely conspicuous giant tree appearing before his eyes.

The giant tree stood majestically between heaven and earth, its trunk as strong as cast bronze, its crown blocking out the sun, and a faint silver halo flowing among its branches and leaves, as if the vitality of the entire continent was gathered here.

"What is this stuff?"

In his impression, there shouldn't be such giant trees in the Silver Moon Forest.

Could it be that he guessed wrong, and this was not the Silver Moon Forest, but a fantasy place fabricated by Utopia?

After seeing the figure appearing not far away, Ye Qiong became more certain of his thoughts.
What appeared in front were not elves, but a group of humans wearing animal skins. The people living in the Silver Moon Forest were elves, so how could they be a group of humans?

Ye Qiong used the power of nothingness to make a black film cover his entire body, and then caught up with the group of humans in front.

Looking at the direction this group of humans are walking, their destination seems to be that extremely conspicuous giant tree?

Ye Qiong followed this group of humans patiently, and soon, he followed this group of humans to their destination.

Just as he guessed, this group of humans stopped in front of the giant tree, and then they placed a table in front of the giant tree, and then placed various fruits and fruit wine on the table...
It looks like they are going to perform a sacrifice?

Ye Qiong sat down against a tree. He had very few clues when he first arrived here, so he could only look for clues through observation.

Soon, an old man with a white beard came to the altar and performed a very primitive dance. The tribesmen behind him let out war roars, as if they were cooperating with the old man in the sacrifice.

At this point, if this tree really possesses some special power, it should have made some reaction.

Ye Qiong turned his head and looked at the extremely conspicuous giant tree.

A breeze blew, and the leaves fluttered, adding an indescribable sense of mystery to the sacrifice.
Then Ye Qiong saw that along with the falling leaves, several cards slowly fell down.

He widened his eyes to make sure he was not mistaken:

"Cards? Wait, give a sacrifice to the giant tree, and then the giant tree will give you cards? Is that what you mean?"

After seeing the cards falling down, the primitive people immediately knelt down and kept thanking the giant tree for its gift.

Then Ye Qiong saw clearly,

The old man who looked like the leader suddenly summoned the Duel Roulette and put the several cards that the giant tree had just given him into the Duel Roulette.

After kneeling three more times to express their gratitude, the primitive people left.

After seeing this group of humans leave, Ye Qiong walked out from behind the tree and came to the front of the giant tree. He was also a little curious.
Is it true that this tree can harvest cards as he guessed, as long as sacrifices are provided?

Also, to whom do these cards given by the giant tree belong?

Ye Qiong vaguely remembered that before the reincarnation of Utopia was reset, he, Nickhos, and the black dragon were all deprived of their abilities by the fantasy realm, and most of their abilities were turned into cards.

Is it possible that the cards given by the giant tree now actually come from their various abilities?
With this in mind, Ye Qiong decisively began to try.

He came to the giant tree, intending to offer a sacrifice to it.
Now his hands were empty, and the only sacrifice he could offer was probably the power of nothingness in his body.
If the giant tree doesn't mind, he wouldn't mind draining away all the power of nothingness in his body.

When his hand was about to touch the trunk of the giant tree, a barrier suddenly appeared to isolate him, and then leaves kept falling and hitting him on the head.

It looked like the giant tree was breathing out in response to the stress, trying to expel Ye Qiong, who looked extremely dangerous.

After seeing the other party's reaction, Ye Qiong smiled.
His eyes focused on the giant tree in front of him, and then he whispered:

"You are indeed wise. If that is the case, then things will be much simpler."

A mere barrier was not enough to isolate the power of nothingness in his body. As long as he wanted, he could use the power of nothingness to erode the barrier at any time and then touch the tree in front of him.
The reason why he didn't do so was simply because he felt there was no need. He felt that he could become friends with the giant tree.

At this moment, in the eyes of the giant tree, this human's smile seemed extremely creepy.

In this world where cards decide everything, what would happen if someone appeared who did not follow the rules of dueling but possessed powerful military force?
The rules of the entire world will be rewritten, and He will never allow this to happen. Therefore, He must make the human in front of him learn the rules here and stop thinking about following the old rules.

With the giant tree as the center, a blue ring slowly appeared.

Ye Qiong was naturally familiar with this circle:

"Imagination realm?"

He saw the thoughts of the giant tree in front of him.
The giant tree intends to duel with him. If he wins, the giant tree will tell him what it knows as he wishes. If he loses, then he will need to act according to the rules of this world and can no longer use the power of nothingness in his body to threaten others.

Ye Qiong could feel that the power of nothingness in his body was suppressed.

The giant tree was serious. If he did not accept the duel, the giant tree would use all its abilities to wipe out this alien from this world.

Ye Qiong thought about it for a moment and quickly agreed to the duel. However, he didn't have a duel roulette or even a card in his hand. How could he duel?
[Fantasy Realm] The effect of depriving him of his abilities and turning them into cards has no effect on him at all, because his various abilities have been deprived, and the power of nothingness is something that cannot be deprived.
In other words, at this moment he had no cards to build a deck for the duel.

After realizing this, the giant tree quickly provided Ye Qiong with a choice.

First, copy a deck of cards that he had used before in his memory for the duel.

Second, the giant tree provides a deck of cards for the duel.

At this time, the card group that appeared on Ye Qiong's left side was the one he had used in his memory.
Goblin deck, Heroic deck, Mana amplification deck...
kindness?
Fairy deck?

Has he used this deck before?
Ye Qiong continued to look over, and suddenly found that the deck he used in his previous life also appeared in the selection range.

Pearl Tears, Satan Dragon, Mission Battle, many sets of card decks from different games appeared in front of Ye Qiong.
Is it really okay? Can the mainstream decks from different games be used?
Aren't you really afraid that I will torture you severely with my tears?

After a brief moment of surprise, Ye Qiong turned his gaze to the right.

The decks provided by the giant tree were also quite luxurious. Many decks that Ye Qiong had never heard of appeared in front of him. Without exception, these decks all had red divine seal-level cards.
It seems that the giant tree is not hiding anything and is quite generous in providing deck selection.
There were hundreds of card decks available for Ye Qiong to choose from.

Such a generous attitude made Ye Qiong a little suspicious.

Other decks are fine, but what do you mean by showing the decks he played in his previous life? Why do you look like you are more familiar with these decks than I am?
Ye Qiong did not make a choice immediately, but looked at the giant tree in front of him and asked:

"So what deck will you use?"

The giant tree did not answer, but instead caused the two decks of cards in front of Ye Qiong to glow.
These two decks are the Magic Amplification Deck and the Evolution Ghost Deck.

Judging from the number of red divine seal cards and legendary cards in the deck construction alone, the number of rare cards in these two decks is similar.

In other words, what the giant tree wants to express is quite simple.
That is, He will use the same level of deck as Ye Qiong to duel,
If Ye Qiong uses the Goblin deck, then his deck will be selected from non-mainstream decks such as Slime and Orcs, which are T2 and T3.
If Ye Qiong uses a mainstream deck like Pearl Tears, then the giant tree will use an extremely dark deck and have a battle with Ye Qiong without any yang energy at all.

The giant tree's attitude shows one thing, that is, he is very confident in his duel level and feels that if he uses decks of the same strength, he will never lose to Ye Qiong.

Ye Qiong did not react to this. He looked around at the card decks floating in front of him, and finally stretched out his hand and placed it on the Goblin deck.

He made the choice to use the Goblin deck for this duel.

The reason why Ye Qiong chose this deck is very simple.
First of all, the strength of this deck is definitely not high, at most it is only T3 level. It is okay to use it when you are a novice, but when you really face the mainstream decks, a problem will be exposed, that is, the coordination is too weak. As the ace monster, [Goblin Tyrant] cannot completely crush the opponent.

For a deck like this, the winner depends more on the operator's on-the-spot judgment and resource allocation ability. In other words, the strength of this deck depends purely on the strength of the duelist himself.

In this duel, Ye Qiong chose to fight hard.

The giant tree did not react to Ye Qiong's choice. Soon, He selected a deck for himself. This was a deck related to skeleton soldiers. The number of rare cards in the deck was similar to Ye Qiong's goblin deck. Only three cards in the extra deck were of purple epic level, and most of the other cards were of white and blue level.

After selecting the deck, a duel roulette appeared in Ye Qiong's right hand.
The giant tree did not summon the Duel Roulette, but instead made the deck float in mid-air.
The duel field unfolded, and a coin appeared in the center. As the dice fell, the giant tree finally took the initiative.

Five cards were suspended in front of the giant tree. Without any thought, He decisively began to unfold them.

A monster card emitting blue light was put on the field.
Along with the appearance of the magic circle, the skeleton soldiers holding staffs were normally summoned to the field.

This monster is called [Skeleton Soldier - Reanimator]. Its effect is once per turn. When it is summoned, it can be activated to Special Summon 1 [Skeleton Soldier] monster from the target and destroy that monster when this card leaves the field.

After seeing the effect of this card, Ye Qiong looked puzzled.

its not right,
Your graveyard is empty, so summoning [Skeleton Soldier - Reanimator] doesn't work at all? Is it because your hand is stuck? So you can only Normal Summon this monster?

The giant tree continued to unfold very smoothly, just like a rational robot.

He activates the effect of the magic card [Reincarnation], and by sacrificing a monster on his side of the field, he Special Summons two [Skeleton Soldiers] with no effect to the field.

It looked like it was exactly as Ye Qiong expected. The giant tree was stuck.

He originally had a better way to deploy, but perhaps because he only had one [Skeleton Soldier - Resurrectionist] in his hand, he was forced to use this way of deployment.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiong immediately laughed. The more the enemy was stuck, the more advantageous it would be for him.
only.
Ye Qiong looked at the five cards in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

The opponent is stuck, so is he?
[Heart of the Silver Dragon][Three Expeditions][Dragon Slaying][The Weak Defeats the Strong][The Tyrant's Reign]

If he fails to draw a monster card in the next round, the only actions he can take are:

Summon the Minotaur King through the effect of [Three Expeditions], and then Normal Summon [Silver Dragon Heart]. If the opponent has a threatening card on the field, activate [Tyrant's Reign] to sacrifice the Minotaur King and Silver Dragon Heart to destroy the threatening card.

Then put the [Weak Force Defeats Strong Force] card on the field to declare the round over.

This is the weakness of a deck without connectivity. Once the key cards are not drawn in the initial five cards, you can only choose a relatively acceptable way of playing from a large number of resource-wasting ways of playing.

The giant tree continued to expand. After summoning two white-level [Skeleton Soldiers], He used the two Skeleton Soldiers on the field as sacrifices and Special Summoned [Skeleton General - Dead Corpse Commander] from His hand.
This is a high-level blue monster card, but its effect is not like a high-level blue monster card at all.

First, the summoning conditions. This card can only be Special Summoned from your hand if two monsters with "Skeleton Soldiers" in their card names are sacrificed.
This card has two effects. First, once per turn, it releases a [Skeleton Soldier] on the field and destroys 1 card on the field. This effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn.

When this monster is summoned, you can activate this card to Special Summon a [Skeleton Soldier] to the field.

Along with two magic circles, the Corpse Commander in a blue cloak and his followers were specially summoned to the field.
The combat power of this monster is as high as 1200, which is considered to be extremely high in an era when the average combat power of each player in a novice deck is no more than a thousand. Coupled with its own card-destroying effect, Ye Qiong said that this card does not look like a blue high-level monster card at all.

Ye Qiong unconsciously turned his attention to the giant tree's extra deck. If he remembered correctly, the three purple epic cards in the giant tree's extra deck should be [Knight of the Underworld - Lord of Bones].
You need to have ten [Skeleton Soldiers] in the graveyard to be Special Summoned. This purple epic monster card has three effects.
500. Once per turn, remove a Skeleton Soldier from the Graveyard, then increase the card's Power by .

2. Once per turn, Special Summon a Skeleton Soldier with no effect to the field.

3. When there are other monsters on the field besides this card, the opponent cannot activate the card effect against this monster, and the monsters on your field gain the ability to directly attack the opponent.

If nothing unexpected happens, this purple epic extra monster card is the trump card of the giant tree. When this card is summoned, the duel is almost over.

Since it was not possible to attack in the first round, after summoning the [Dead Commander], the giant tree announced that the round was over. He did not choose to cover the card for defense.

Right now, there is only one [Dead Commander] and an ineffective Skeleton Soldier in his card area.

Ye Qiong just took a look at his opponent's situation, and then drew a card from the top of the deck:
"My turn, draw a card."

This time his luck was pretty good, as the card he drew was the environmental magic card [Sunset Forest].
Similar to the Giant Tree's deck, his Goblin deck also requires a graveyard. If you want to summon the [Goblin Tyrant] in the extra deck, you need to meet three conditions: first, sacrifice the two Goblins on the field; second, the number of monsters in the graveyard of both sides is more than 20, and send the [Silver Dragon Heart] in the hand, field, and graveyard to the outside area.

If the opponent is a Dragon deck, then summoning [Goblin Tyrant] will undoubtedly be very useful.

But unfortunately, the opponent is a Skeleton Deck, and most of the abilities of Goblin Tyrant are ineffective against these Skeletons.

If Ye Qiong wants to win, then relying on summoning the [Goblin Tyrant] to suppress the situation will definitely not work. Without the special racial supply, the combat power of the [Goblin Tyrant] may not be comparable to that of the [Bone Lord].
If he wants to win, he has to find another way and do something shady.

His eyes unconsciously moved to his own deck. In his deck, there was a combo that was rarely used, which was Panic Goblin + Goblin Sage.
Maybe because the system has just created the card, the effect of the monster card [Flustered Goblin] is not particularly rigorous.

In the original card, the effect of this card is described as follows:
"Look at the top five cards of your opponent's hand and decide the order of your choice."

If you are an experienced card player, you should have discovered the problem at this time, that is, this card does not say "once per turn" or "activate when summoned".
This card has no prerequisites for looking through the opponent's cards, which is why Ye Qiong said that the system was not very rigorous when making this card.
When he first crossed over, his mind was focused on exploring the world of reincarnation, so he didn't realize how powerful this card was. But now that he came to his senses, he suddenly realized that he could use this card in conjunction with Goblin Sage to control the opponent to death.

If this combo can be performed, then the strength of this deck will definitely be more than just T3.

Obviously, the Great Tree should not be aware of this, otherwise the deck He chose should be a T2 or even T1 level deck. Only a deck like this has the ability to destroy the combo of Panic Goblin and Goblin Sage.

Right now, he needs four more cards to complete this combo.
[Goblin Sage] also has [Sage's Diary] and [Potion] to summon this monster card, and the fourth card is [Flustered Goblin].
Now he doesn't have any cards needed in the system, so he chooses to defend for now.

Ye Qiong thought for a moment and soon began to unfold.

First, the effect of launching three expeditions was to specially summon the Poison King Kate.

After seeing the summoned purple cat demon, the giant tree did not immediately use the effect of [Dead General] to sacrifice the skeleton soldiers on the field to destroy the poison demon.
It seems that he wants to wait until Ye Qiong enters the combat stage before activating this effect.

Without a doubt, this is the right choice.

In order to proceed smoothly, Ye Qiong had no choice but to enter the combat phase to bring out the effect of [Dead General].

The moment Ye Qiong entered the battle stage, the [Dead General] on the giant tree field moved. It raised the spear in its hand, and then the skeleton soldiers next to it charged towards the Poison Demon King and chose to fight with the Poison Demon King.

Ye Qiong ended the battle phase and entered the main phase 2.
First, he slapped [Sunset Forest] onto the environmental magic card area and activated the effect of this magic card to randomly summon a monster from Sunset Forest.

Along with a green magic circle, an orange-yellow cat demon was summoned to the field. This cat demon had only one effect, which was that it could attack twice.

After seeing the summoned cat demon, Ye Qiong was not disappointed at all. He then summoned the [Silver Dragon Heart] to the field.
After placing [Victory over the Strong with the Weak] and [Rule of the Tyrant] in his hands onto the field, Ye Qiong directly announced the end of the round.

Right before the giant tree entered the card drawing phase, Ye Qiong flipped over the [Tyrant's Rule] on his field. In order to prevent [Dead General] from continuing to activate its effect, he chose to strike first and use the effect of [Tyrant's Rule], using the cat demon and the heart of the silver dragon on the field as sacrifices to destroy the effect of [Dead General].

In response to this, the giant tree remained quite calm. After seeing that Ye Qiong had no intention of activating the second cover card, he entered the card drawing phase and drew a card into his hand.

Since both sides' decks need to stack graveyards, the following game is basically a constant switch between offense and defense, and no one can really threaten the opponent. (End of this chapter)
