Chapter 288 Space Duel! King Hand VS. Reishart (Part 1)

"duel?"

"Wang Shou wants to duel?!"

The news spread to every terminal screen in the league in an instant, and the internet exploded. The previous comments mocking the King as a "coward" and "only knows how to drink milk" were still trending, but now only countless new exclamation marks and question marks remained.

"No way? She really dares to come out?"

"Is the opponent that butcher? He's been causing trouble everywhere, and now he's finally messed with headquarters?"

"This is going to be good! I bet an R card that this little girl will be carried away within three minutes!"

"Upstairs, I bet two that she can't even withstand the Butcher's Fenrir Wolf!"

The members of the Council were the most enthusiastic, commenting sarcastically: "Oh my, so the King has finally decided to come out of seclusion? Could it be that he couldn't take the criticism anymore and wanted to come out to prove he's not a giant baby? Commendable courage, truly commendable courage!"

Their words were laced with schadenfreude; when it comes to talking, they're professionals.

The camera pans to crowds around the world, their faces displaying a mixture of astonishment, disbelief, and a strong sense of amusement.

The interns in the space screening room had complicated expressions. They were different from the people in the video. The people in the video were 'on-site people', while they were people from the future.

They already knew the outcome of the duel.

Looking back at the mob two years ago from the perspective of the future, it's possible that they themselves, or their family and friends, were among them.

It's so embarrassing.

“So… this is the kind of public opinion environment Wang Shou was facing back then,” an intern wearing glasses said softly, his tone tinged with shame.

"Oh, I'm sorry." The other female intern covered her face, looking very embarrassed.

Two years ago, they might have all been among those who mocked and ridiculed Wang Shou.

Two years later, they joined the Bureau of Spirit Control.

Tang Xin quietly turned to look at Li Guanqi and whispered, "I, I didn't join in the commotion."

She needs to try to distance herself from this group of people.

If Wang Shou were here, she would want to raise her hand and swear: "Loyalty!"

“It’s only human nature,” Li Guanqi replied calmly. “Audiences and actors can never truly empathize.”

"Can we watch the duel?" an intern pleaded, his tone more urgent than before. "Back then, only one result was announced for that duel. We all want to know how Wang Shou won!"

"yes."

"Can we take a look? We promise we won't tell anyone!"

All the interns, including Li Guanqi, were curious about the duel, but they were unsure whether they could watch it because it involved the King's deck and dueling style.

"See?" Qi Mengsi didn't hesitate and lightly tapped the controller with her fingertip.

The camera abruptly pulled back, refocusing on the chaotic battlefield in front of the headquarters of the Soul Reaper, where the woman in black robes stood calmly, confronting the enraged Leshard.

Within just two minutes of her uttering the words "Beat me," the empty space became incredibly crowded.

Dozens of drones bearing the logos of major media outlets buzzed and hovered like flies drawn to filth. Further away, several large news broadcasting helicopters also occupied advantageous positions, their telephoto lenses locked onto the two people in the scene.

Wang Shou's every move is now affecting the nerves of hundreds of millions of people, generating immeasurable traffic.

"A duel?" Leshard grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, his smile both ferocious and contemptuous.

He cracked his neck, making a series of popping sounds, and sneered, "At your age, can you even lift a duel disk?"

"Don't say I bullied you if you get beaten up later."

He slowly raised his arm, and a matching oracle bone dueling disc unfolded on his wrist, gleaming with an ominous red light.

"Then follow me." The woman in black robes said softly, and her figure suddenly became blurry.

Then, with a loud "BOOM," a visible white sonic boom cloud exploded on the spot, and the ground was cracked like a spider web by the powerful impact.

The woman in black robes had vanished without a trace, leaving only a sharp sound of air tearing in everyone's ears.

"Disappeared?!" The space interns were all stunned.

Xia Sheng frowned deeply; this speed…

In the footage, the reporters who were preparing to film the duel in mid-air were also in an uproar: "Where is he?!"

"Wang Shou, he's disappeared?!"

The camera spun frantically, trying to capture Wang Shou's whereabouts, but to no avail; the drone's detection system also completely lost its target.

"What the hell?!" a reporter carrying a camera shouted angrily. "How are we supposed to film this?!"

Li Guanqi's pupils contracted sharply. He was also searching for the woman in black robes with the camera, but he couldn't find her anywhere.

"There are no people on the ground or in the sky."

"Could it be that……"

On the ground, Reishardt was taken aback at first, then let out a low roar, his eyes blazing with even more anger, mixed with a hint of seriousness: "Hahaha, you've got some skills!"

He suddenly squatted down, spread his arms, and a dazzling golden halo suddenly erupted from his body. Enveloped in the halo, a ferocious and powerful crimson mech quickly covered his entire body, with huge thrusters extending from his back.

"Aleshardt, evolve!"

"Boom—!" Another deafening roar echoed as the ground beneath Areshard's feet instantly collapsed and cracked, creating a giant crater several meters deep.

The massive, crimson mech shot into the sky like a cannonball, its engine spewing out scorching flames, and crashed directly into a news broadcast helicopter that was unable to dodge in mid-air!
"Boom!"

The helicopter was smashed into a pile of scrap metal, bursting into a huge fireball. The scorching deep red flames swept out like an angry dragon, engulfing several drones that were too close by, burning them into charred wreckage that crashed down from the sky.

On the ground, the crowd that had been making a ruckus earlier was now craning their necks, dumbfounded. The reporters were in complete chaos, no one caring about the destroyed helicopter, but instead operating drones to try to capture the two vanished figures.

"Where is he? Where did the butcher go again?"

"Quickly! Ground search, aerial search!"

"My device is malfunctioning! It can't pick up any signal at all!"

On the screens of various civilian filming devices, only static or fixed distant views remained; the two key figures in the duel had vanished into thin air.

Inside the space screening room, the interns also looked bewildered. They stared at the "on-site personnel" in the video, who were in a flustered state, and for a moment, they felt a sense of empathy for them.

"Disappeared again?!" Tang Xin covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.

“No.” Li Guanqi’s gaze was calm as he looked at the massive planet Biantana. “It’s coming.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the camera angle suddenly switched.

It was no longer a chaotic crowd on the ground, nor a swarm of cameras hovering high in the sky.

The camera suddenly zooms out, passing through the clouds and across the atmosphere, finally settling on a deep and boundless universe.

In the quiet darkness, the stars twinkled.

The camera stabilized, and two tiny figures slowly appeared in the center of the frame.

The blue-eyed woman in black robes and the man in crimson, menacing mech armor, Leshard, floated silently at a distance from each other against a dark cosmic backdrop, with a blue planet beneath their feet.

"Too, space?! A duel in space?!" An intern exclaimed first, and the others gasped in shock.

Although Li Guanqi was mentally prepared, seeing the two people in space was still very shocking.

This is the duel between the King's Hand and the Clock Hand.

In the video, the crimson armor on Areshart receded like a tide, revealing his imposing physique once more. He grinned, a smile that appeared particularly arrogant against the backdrop of space: "Then let me witness the duel of the King's Hand!"

He raised his hand and slapped a card into a special groove on the duel disk.

Domain Card! (Dark Game) - [Six Worlds of Evil - Heavenly Demon World], Activate!

In an instant, a deep red, ominous aura suddenly erupted from the center of Leshard, spreading rapidly in all directions like ink dripping into clear water.

The cosmos was tainted by this force, and countless ferocious phantoms roared and howled in the deep red ripples, spreading a pure and chilling rage.

The woman in black robes stood still, watching this astonishing phenomenon. She also raised her hand and placed a domain card into the duel disk.

"boom--"

A roar, completely different from the one coming from Leshardt, rang out, more like the sound of a sacred bell, distant and grand.

Domain Card – [Hall of Light], activated!

A dazzling white light emanated from beneath the woman in black robes, like a rising sun illuminating the cosmos around her.

In the holy light, countless elegant white dragon phantoms swirled and danced, chanting ancient and sacred songs. The light was pure and warm, carrying a majestic aura that could cleanse all evil.

Crimson and pure white, two completely opposite forces of power, clashed violently in the silent space!

The two extreme forces squeezed, eroded, and devoured each other, forming a constantly twisting boundary that flickered with red and white light between them. The space around that boundary was like a broken mirror, reflecting bizarre and wonderful scenes.

"This is the duel of the King's Hand."

The interns held their breath, their mouths agape, barely daring to breathe; this was beyond their comprehension of a duel.

Li Guanqi's pupils constricted. Amidst the shock, a thought kept swirling in his mind.

If I were her, how would I use this duel to prove that I deserve the title of "King of Hands"?
If they win the first strike, the public will probably say, "Pshaw, they were just lucky to get the first strike. If they had won the second strike, they probably wouldn't have been able to move at all."

If you win by going second, but then pull out a powerful hand trap like [Granular] or [Forbidden Drop], you'll be criticized as a "hand trapper." If you win without those cards, it's even easier; your opponent must have had a bad hand, played poorly, or suffered from an information disadvantage.

In short, as long as those below want to find fault, there will never be a shortage of reasons.

Even if she wins this match, there will still be plenty of people who are not convinced, and the line of people requesting to duel with the King's Hand will stretch from the headquarters of the Spirit Control Bureau all the way to outer space.

Even if losing the duel means death, there will definitely be fearless individuals rushing forward; human life is worthless in Biantana. If the King Hand doesn't accept the challenge, he's a coward, a shrinking turtle.

But if you agree to a match, you'll never have a moment's peace again. You might have to fight a thousand matches a day, leaving no time to eat, shower, or sleep.

The details of this duel cannot be found online, but the higher-ups of the Council will certainly have access to the footage.

But ever since the butcher 'surrendered', no one has dared to cause trouble again.

This means that the turning point is this duel.

What kind of duel frightened the hands of the clock so much that they never dared to challenge it again?
The two fields collided violently, creating a shockwave.

"Duel!" The black-robed woman and Rashard's pupils contracted as they shouted in unison.

【Attack first】

【Blue Square】

[Domain Duel Begins]

The cold, robotic voice of the intelligent referee echoed through the space duel arena, causing all the interns to hold their breath.

It's time to start!

Li Guanqi didn't show much expectation, remaining calm.

If what the twin flowers said—that 'she won first before going on stage'—is true, then this duel is likely to be very 'boring'.

The woman in black robes calmly scanned the five cards in her starting hand with her deep blue eyes, then lightly flicked her fingertips, drew one card, and gently slapped it onto the duel disk.

"Summon, [the Sage with Blue Eyes]!"

A soft blue light flashed, and the figure of a man dressed in a blue-green classical robe appeared. He had silver hair, blue eyes, and a handsome face. He held a staff inlaid with gemstones and stood quietly in front of the woman in black robes.

Inside the space screening room, Li Guanqi looked at the familiar figure in blue and thought to himself, "It really is the White Dragon deck."

He shook his head slightly. This Queen, even in a duel that would determine the opinions of countless people, still adhered to the principle of "revealing the deck with domain cards." This frankness, it's hard to say whether she has a big heart or is too confident.

The woman in black robes spoke in a cold, emotionless voice: "Activate the effect of [Sage], add 1 Level 1 LIGHT Tuner Monster other than yourself from your Deck to your hand."

On the field, the Sage with Blue Eyes moved at the sound, raising his staff high, and the gem at the top of the staff suddenly burst out with dazzling light.

Just then, Rashard grinned, a fierce glint in his eyes, and without hesitation discarded a card from his hand.

"Chain Two, [Effect Obscuring]!"

"Invalid [Blue-Eyed Sage]!"

A card phantom appeared before him, then vanished in specks of white light. At the same time, above the Sage, a soft white veil appeared out of thin air and slowly drifted down, as if draping the Sage in a veil of twilight.

The sage frowned, and the light gathered on his staff instantly dimmed.

"Ah!" Tang Xin exclaimed subconsciously, her hands clenching involuntarily.

The interns in the screening room were also in an uproar. Many of them frowned. Although they already knew the ending, they couldn't help but feel nervous for Wang Shou now that they were there.

"Are you going to use your hands to poke it right away?"

"The Butcher's hand... looks pretty good."

"Lord Wang Shou should have some points to replenish, right?"

The woman in black robes seemed to have expected this, her expression remained unchanged, and even her eyes did not waver.

She simply raised her hand and said, "Set the link marker for the [Blue-Eyed Sage] unit."

Before she could finish speaking, the Sage with Blue Eyes shuddered and transformed into a blue data stream, rushing towards the area below the extra monster zone in front of her. An arrow-shaped connection marker lit up at that moment.

“Connect Summon!” Her voice remained steady.

"Link1, the Blue-Eyed Elf!"

As the blue data streams converged and shone brightly, a small, azure-blue dragon appeared, flapping its tender wings.

It let out a clear dragon roar. Although its size was far less imposing than that of the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon, it possessed a unique aura of agility and purity.

"Myna, look! What a beautiful little dragon!" Tang Xin tugged at Li Guanqi's sleeve, her eyes sparkling, her voice full of surprise. "Is it a baby Blue-Eyes White Dragon? So cute! Its wings are even translucent!"

Girls always have some unique things to focus on.

Card effects are insignificant compared to cuteness and beauty, but the [Blue-Eyed Elf] also possesses a powerful beauty.

There are currently two Guardian Cards in Bianyuelong Fortress, one of which is the epic-level [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]. Therefore, the residents of Bianyuelong have a natural affinity and closeness to the Blue-Eyes series.

"It's truly beautiful." Li Guanqi looked at the agile little dragon, sighed softly, and said helplessly, "When will Silver City be able to possess such power..."

In the video, the woman in black robes points at the monster in front of her: "Activate the effect of [Blue-Eyed Spirit], add 1 'Hall of Light' from your Deck to your hand or send it to the Graveyard."

At her command, the azure baby dragon raised its small head, let out a clear and melodious roar, and its whole body suddenly emitted a soft light.

Inside the space screening room, the interns had just breathed a sigh of relief because of the appearance of the little dragon.

However, Leshardt's arrogant face grew even wider as he glanced at his hand, quickly weighing something.

Finally, he picked out another card from his hand and sent it to the graveyard.

"Chain activation!" Reishardt's voice was forceful. "[Effect Masker]!"

"Ineffective against [Blue-Eyed Elf]!"

"Wow... there's even an [Effect Masker]?!" a female intern exclaimed.

"No way? He has two?"

"It's over. No venue left, can't add more Normal Summoning Points, and the Graveyard and Special Summoning are gone too."

"Lord Wang Shou..." Tang Xin closed her eyes tightly, clasped her hands together, and prayed.

Li Guanqi rolled her eyes at her and said softly, "Is it really necessary? You already know the result, why are you still worried?"

In the image, another soft white veil appeared out of thin air, carrying the power of laws as it drifted down and enveloped the [Blue-eyed Elf] who was preparing to unleash its power.

The little dragon, which had just been so proud and lively, suddenly lost its radiance, which quickly dimmed and went out like a punctured balloon. Its clear dragon roar was stuck in its throat, and it let out a pitiful "whimper".

It flapped its tender dragon wings twice, and its little head drooped limply.

The entire space screening room was deathly silent. The interns saw the dejected "blue-eyed elf," then turned to look at Lesharka, their eyes filled with inexplicable rage.

Li Guanqi looked at the black-robed woman's hand; she had four cards left, which should be enough to replenish her points. She could choose either "White Girl" or "Prayer."

As expected, after consuming two [Effect Maskers], the woman in black remained as calm as a deep pool, without the slightest ripple.

She extended her slender fingers, drew a card from her remaining hand with an effortless grace, and gently tapped it onto the duel disk: "Discard the card [Multiplying G], activate the Spell Card—"

"【The Prayer of Blue-Eyed Eyes】!"

"Add 1 Spell/Trap Card with the name of 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' and 1 Level 1 LIGHT Tuner Monster from your Deck to your hand."

"Oh—! There's still some left!" Inside the screening room, the interns breathed a collective sigh of relief after a period of tension. Just as their hearts were about to settle down, Tang Xin was so excited she almost jumped up. "That's great! I knew Master Wang would have a way!"

But then the cheers stopped abruptly, as if someone had grabbed their neck.

Several quick-thinking interns exchanged glances, one of them speaking uncertainly: "Wait...wait, what did Lord Wang Shou just say...discard what?"

Li Guanqi's pupils also contracted slightly; even he couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart at that moment.

"【Proliferating G】?! She lost 【Proliferating G】?!" The entire screening room erupted in chaos.

That's the ace monster, [Proliferating G]! Unless absolutely necessary, who would willingly send it to the graveyard as a cost?

“No, no, no, calm down,” an intern wearing glasses adjusted his glasses. “There are still two cards left in his hand, right? It’s obvious that Lord King has a second [Multiplied G]! That’s called maximizing resource utilization!”

“Yes, yes, yes! That must be it!” The person next to him immediately agreed.

Listening to the "reasonable" deductions of the interns around him, Li Guanqi simply stared at the black-robed figure whose emotions were unreadable, his gaze growing increasingly profound.

Others might think that way, but he had dueled with her and always felt that things weren't that simple.

This scene... seems familiar.

The normal analysis should indeed be like this: it's understandable to put the [G of Proliferation] in the second position, but it's a bit wrong to put it in the third position. With three cards in hand, discarding the [G of Proliferation] can only be understood as having multiple cards in hand.

But can this woman be analyzed using common sense?
Obviously not!

Damn it, I activated [Called One of Annihilation] ahead of time, and then [G of Proliferation] hit and drew [Ubel Elf].

Is this the kind of play a normal person would make?
Li Guanqi watched the black-robed women dueling as Sima Yi watched Zhuge Liang.

An empty city can conjure up a world-ending drama in one's mind.

In the video, Rashardt also noticed the unusual fold. His arrogant smile faded slightly for a moment, and his eyes became even sharper.

He and Hu Ji and the others only verbally belittled the girl, but their vigilance never wavered.

The fact that the two former sovereigns of the alliance willingly relinquished the throne to her suggests that she must possess some unique power or quality that is not understood by outsiders, which is precisely what Zhong Bai couldn't understand.

He volunteered to lead the charge today, not only to establish his authority by finding Vesas, but more importantly, to spy on the King's Hand's abilities. Regardless of the outcome, the footage of this duel will be uploaded to the Serpent's Bell, becoming key intelligence for analyzing the King's Hand.

Seeing that the opponent had no combo, the woman in black robes remained cold and emotionless: "I added [White Maiden] and [Blue-Eyes Dragon Rumble] to my hand from my deck."

"Activate the effect of the card [White Maiden] in your hand."

"You can activate this effect by sending this card to the Graveyard. Place 1 'True Light' face-up from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard."

[White-clad girl] closed her eyes and chanted, and a stone tablet suddenly rose up, its surface shimmering with bright patterns.
