Chapter 269 Six Flowers Come and Go, Peony Leaf
"what is that?"

The survivors were filled with suspicion and uncertainty when two lines of striking text popped up almost simultaneously on the D-scope:

[Console] (Red/Blue)
[Safety bubbles can be generated in specific areas]

After a brief silence, the crowd erupted in jubilation at having survived the ordeal.

"The console! It's the console! It can generate safety bubbles!"

"We are saved!"

"The sea is frozen over, we can just run across!"

"But...that woman...she doesn't seem like the type to let us stand on the control panel so easily..."

"There's no time to hesitate, the poisonous fog is coming!" someone shouted hoarsely.

Not far away, a gray-green toxic fog was spreading and expanding at a visible speed.

The crowd on the ship erupted into chaos.

"Get off the boat! Get off the boat now!"

"Charge! Grab the control panel! As long as one person gets it, we win!"

The will to survive overcame the fear of Qimengsi, and people rushed to the ship's side, trying to jump onto the ice. However, getting on the six ships was easy, but getting off was difficult.

Plant seeds buried in dark corners quickly took root and grew under the stimulation of the toxic fog.

"Ah—what is that!" A piercing scream shattered the chaos.

A man attempting to climb over the railing was suddenly entangled in a dark green vine that sprouted from a gap in the deck. With a sharp tug, the man lost his balance and crashed heavily onto the deck, causing the barrier to pop out.

"His-"

Eerie sounds permeated every corner of the ship's cabin.

Dark green, dark brown, and purplish-black speckled vines surged out like a tide from the gaps in the deck and the corners of the cabin.

"There's something strange about these vines."

A woman who was a little slow to react was about to dodge when a vine hanging down from the overhead ventilation duct got wrapped around her neck.

"What the hell... cough!" A burly man without a gas mask was entangled in several vines. He tried to struggle, but inhaled more poisonous fog containing plant spores and coughed violently.

Current number of survivors: 302

Current number of survivors: 294

Current number of survivors: 288

The fluctuating numbers are like a death knell.

"No! We can't stay on the ship anymore! Jump!"

"Ah—help!"

The dozen or so people remaining on each boat no longer hesitated, gritted their teeth and jumped from the ship's side, which was several meters high, crashing heavily onto the hard ice.

The speedboat that Lin Chen and Lu Li were on, because of its small size, became one of the few places that were temporarily safe.

He glanced at the poisonous fog surrounding him, then looked at the two lonely control panels on the distant ice, and solemnly instructed Lu Li:
"If you can't take it anymore, go underwater and hold on for as long as you can."

"Just hold on for a few minutes, and you'll have everything you need."

Luli didn't answer, but simply nodded and stepped off the edge of the speedboat, ready to dive at any moment.

Lin Chen said no more, turned around, took a deep breath, stepped off the speedboat, landed steadily on the ice, and then rushed towards the control panel representing the blue team without hesitation.

On another speedboat, Li Guanqi turned to Tang Xin beside him and said:

"You stay here and snipe the enemy. Don't let them get to the control panel."

"Hmm." Tang Xin didn't ask any more questions, nodded, quickly adjusted her posture, placed the muzzle of her gun on the edge of the speedboat, and locked onto the blurry figure rushing towards the blue control panel from the other side of the island through the scope.

Li Guanqi took a deep breath, stepped off the speedboat, onto the ice, and rushed toward the Red Team's control panel. He didn't want to entrust his fate to others.

On the icy plain, two figures, along with scattered figures rushing in from all directions, converged on the two only places of hope.

Between the two control panels, Qi Mengsi looked at the onrushing crowd, slowly raised her arm, drew two cards, and slapped them onto the Duel Disk.

“cia~lo~”

A clear, sweet voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, came from the void and echoed across the icy plains.

If you don’t see the person, hear the sound first.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, the man at the very front was knocked unconscious before he could even utter a cry, and was ejected from the barrier.

After the attack, a petite figure slowly appeared on the ice.

She was a girl dressed in a gorgeous kimono, carrying an exquisite ice umbrella. She had beautiful black hair and an innocent smile on her face. She was none other than [Rokka Seiye Botan].

The murder weapon was none other than the seemingly harmless ice umbrella in his hand.

"hi~na~"

Another ethereal and sweet voice rang out, tinged with a hint of mischief.

"boom!"

In another direction, a burly man who was also charging at the front line suffered the same fate. He felt his head buzzing, the world spinning, his vision blurring instantly, and then he lost consciousness as the elimination barrier lit up.

The attacker reappeared as another [Six-Flower Peony], also holding an ice umbrella and smiling radiantly.

"What fast clubs!" The charging crowd stopped abruptly in fright.

"WTF?!"

"Hit the person first, then reappear?"

"You only become visible after attacking? Hitting someone is the cost, but revealing yourself is the effect?"

【Six-Flower Peony】: You can activate this effect by Tributing 1 Plant-Type monster you control. Special Summon this card from your hand.

【Rokka: Rokka】: If you Tribute a Plant-Type monster on your field to activate the effect of the "Rokka" card, you can Tribute 1 face-up monster on your opponent's field in place of 1 Plant-Type monster on your field.

"If we can't get it, let's not even try!" someone on the island shouted in despair. "It's okay if we can't get it, as long as the other side doesn't get it!"

This roar was like a sudden awakening.

Those who were at the very front and were lucky enough to avoid being ambushed by [Ye Mudan] stopped in their tracks in perfect unison.

They quickly dispersed, raising their arquebuses and pointing them at the people rushing forward to seize the control panel.

The people on the other side saw the gun, stopped in their tracks, and raised their guns as well.

An eerie stalemate has formed on the icy plains.

No one dared to take another step forward easily, as those two elusive "Ye Mudan" figures could strike you hard at any moment.

No one dared to fire at the other easily. The limitations on duel bullets were negligible, but deadly bullets... once fired, it would inevitably result in a lose-lose situation.

Before you start fighting off the poison, it's best to keep your health at 100%.

As for the outcome of resisting the virus, it's all up to fate.

At this tense moment—

"Boom—" Two figures rushed out from the edge of the poisonous fog behind them at the same time. Their speed was astonishing, and their target was the red and blue control panels!

"Still daring to rob at a time like this?!" The people in the front row, who were holding each other back, exclaimed in unison.

Qi Mengsi, whose face remained expressionless, had a hint of surprise flash in her icy blue eyes.

The two [Six-Flower Peony] figures stood with their hands on their hips, looking angry as if to say, "You look down on us?"

Li Guanqi saw the row of dark gun barrels opposite him and Ye Mudan in front of him, and his heart pounded violently in his chest.

He took out the domain card and stared down at it.

The ability to slow down attacks... If it's not a super fusion, then it can only be a special ability inherent in the symbiotic card itself.

Can the domain enhance the capabilities of symbiotic cards?

He wasn't sure.

The current situation left him no time to hesitate; the poisonous fog was right behind him, and the control panel was right in front of him.

We have no choice but to take a gamble!

Li Guanqi's eyes narrowed, and with a determined heart, he turned the Domain Card face down and forcefully inserted it into the specific groove on the Duel Disk.

"Om-"

The domain activated, and an indescribable gray fluctuation, centered on him, spread rapidly outwards like ripples on the surface of water.

“Cia~” A melodious, sweet, and slightly playful girl’s voice rang out in the void.

In an instant, the whole world in Li Guanqi's vision changed.

The flow of time has been slowed down to the extreme!

Li Guanqi's eyes scanned rapidly. In the extremely slow space-time, he clearly detected a faint, negligible fluctuation in the void to his upper right, which was approaching him at a relatively fast speed.

It's a peony!
Just as the wave was about to touch the top of his head, he suddenly lowered his head, his entire body almost parallel to the ice surface.

"lo~?" [Six Flower Peony] waved the ice umbrella in her hand, her attack seemingly destined to succeed, but it landed lightly on empty air.

A look of great confusion appeared on her small face. She stood there for a few seconds, then knelt down with a "plop," opened the ice umbrella, and huddled under it, as if she had suffered a great injustice and was feeling emo.

Almost at the same moment, on the other side.

"Hi~" Another [Six-Flower Peony] appeared with a smug laugh, and mercilessly smashed the ice umbrella in her hand toward the back of Lin Chen's head.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the ice umbrella slammed solidly into Lin Chen's head. However, the expected scene of Lin Chen falling to the ground and the elimination barrier popping up did not occur.

"na~?"

The delicate parasol made of ice crystals shattered into countless ice shards the moment it touched Lin Chen's head, just like fragile glass.

Lin Chen swayed slightly and let out a muffled groan, but his steps did not stop at all, and he continued to run towards the Blue Team's control panel.

The smile on the face of the ambushing [Six-Flower Peony] froze, and she stood there completely stunned. A few seconds later, she knelt down helplessly, picking up the broken pieces of the ice umbrella one by one, making soft whimpering sounds. She was also emo.

"What monster?" Qi Mengsi frowned slightly for the first time and uttered four words.

"What the hell?!" The forward, who was ready to watch the show, was completely dumbfounded.

Those two invincible "club dolls" actually suffered a setback?
After a brief moment of surprise, they finally came to their senses.

"Shoot! Kill him!"

"Don't let him get his hands on the console!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

More than a dozen guns spat fire at the same time. The duel bullets could not restrict movement. Hundreds of bullets flashing with various colors rained down on Li Guanqi and Lin Chen, who were still running.

In Li Guanqi's frozen spacetime, the bullets were like slowly floating colored lights. He could even see the trajectory and spin of each bullet. He slightly adjusted his running posture and angle, and like a butterfly flitting among flowers, he calmly shuttled through the dense rain of bullets without getting a single one on him.

Lin Chen, on the other hand, has a completely different style.

He pretended not to see the bullets aimed at him, his eyes fixed on the blue control panel in front of him. Every step he took was heavy and powerful. The bullets hit his head and body, making a series of muffled "thuds" that stirred up ripples of energy and caused a certain impact.

Time flow returns to normal.

Li Guanqi emerged unscathed from the hail of bullets.

Lin Chen was like a moving target, having been hit by at least a dozen bullets in the head and body. He looked somewhat disheveled, but he was still running wildly.

The two simultaneously shook off their pursuers and the hail of bullets. Their eyes met in mid-air, and they both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

A thought arose in both of their minds at the same time.

"Such strong defense."

"What a quick response."

"Tap tap tap—" On the empty ice field, only the sound of the two people's footsteps getting closer and closer could be heard, which sounded particularly clear in the deathly silence.

For some reason, the contestants who were holding guns stopped firing at the same time.

They just stared blankly at the two figures, silent, and one by one they lowered their guns.

The poisonous fog quickly filled the entire area.

Li Guanqi and Lin Chen rushed to their respective target control consoles at the same second.

Without hesitation, they reached out and slammed their hands down on the huge, conspicuous red button on the control panel!
"Snapped--"

"Snapped--"

Two crisp keystrokes echoed across the silent ice field.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats, eagerly awaiting the rise of the energy bubble that symbolized safety.

However, what they received was not a safety bubble.

But -

"Rumble, rumble—"

An extremely terrifying roar came from the deepest hell, and the entire ice surface, no, the entire sea area, began to tremble violently!

The ice layer, like a spider web, shattered inch by inch.

"Click——"

An unparalleled, terrifying gravitational force suddenly emanated from the seabed beneath the ice.

"What is that?" Li Guanqi hurriedly grabbed the icicle and steadied himself.

The ice surface completely collapsed, and a huge black vortex with a diameter of several thousand meters appeared out of thin air in the location of the safe zone.

From above, it looks like a rapidly rotating fusion in motion.

"what--!"

Whether it was the survivors on the ice or the ships floating in the distance, including the few speedboats that were still relatively intact, they were all helplessly pulled towards the huge deep-sea whirlpool by this sudden and irresistible gravitational pull.

"Gululu——"

Seawater rushed into his throat and ears, and Li Guanqi felt a sudden darkness before his eyes as his vision was submerged by the seawater.
