People in Yu-Gi-Oh! The hyper-converged audience is also integrated

Chapter 335 This is the flower of the Demon Clan!

The clamor outside the arena fell into a brief silence the moment the [Guardian Chimera] descended.

The visual impact of that stitched-together behemoth was too intense. The two completely different heads emitted overlapping roars, and the sound waves caused ripples to appear on the protective shield. The sense of oppression overflowed through the screen.

At the edge of the arena, the security team had all stood up, weapons in hand, and were nervously watching the behemoth inside the arena.

"Captain, the heat index is soaring. Requesting permission to fire!" A young guard's palms were sweating and his voice was trembling.

The captain, his face ashen, stared intently at the data panel and replied in a deep voice, "Rejected! Everyone on high alert. Repeat, the principle of not firing the first shot!"

"But Captain, this thing..."

"This is a projection!" the captain interrupted him, his voice firm and resolute. "Before it causes irreversible physical damage to reality, our primary task is to maintain order and evacuate the audience! Teams two and three, head to the exits! Don't let panic trigger a stampede!"

"receive!"

"Roger that!"

The situation is currently stable with no casualties, but if the first shot is fired and it angers the target, things could get very serious.

Compared to the behemoth inside the arena that is currently relatively "well-behaved," the out-of-control audience is the biggest threat at present.

In the live stream room, the chat messages scrolled wildly after a one-second pause.

"what is this?!"

"Is this a girl's card? I love it, but it's a bit tough on the opponent."

"Male character's art style: energetic idol concert. Female character's art style: Cthulhu god's descent ritual."

"No! The Geminis are going to be torn apart!"

Li Guanqi gazed at the stitched-together behemoth high in the sky, his heart pounding faster and faster.

"At this very moment!" Bai Zhi raised his hand, his clear, cold voice ringing out: "Activate the Graveyard effect of [Black Witch]."

"Send one card from your hand or field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon this card."

The Black Witch let out a deep sigh in the graveyard.

"Chain activation of the material effects of [King Gazel of the Phantom Claw]: Add one Phantom Demon monster from your Deck to your hand."

[Gazelle] The ghost let out a roar.

The white paper raised its 'eyes,' looking past the ferocious beasts on the field, and calmly landed on Li Guanqi's face.

"Finally, the effect of [Guardian Chimera]!"

"Draw one card from your deck, without targeting, and destroy two cards on your opponent's field!"

"on!"

"Roar--!"

The lion's head of the Guardian Chimera opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a destructive torrent of magic, while the snake tail coiled behind it shot out like a black lightning bolt with a sharp whooshing sound!

Two attacks, one in red and one in blue, struck Li Guanqi's two petite figures on the field, one attacking from the other.

【Evil★Twins Kisskills·Trade】 gaped, looking utterly astonished, and instinctively pulled 【Live☆Twins Lila·Sweetness】 in front of her. The latter's serene and lovely face startled her, causing a flurry of data errors.

"Quick-Play Spell—" Li Guanqi responded by playing a card, "【Called One of the Grave】!"

"Until the opponent's turn ends, banish and negate [Dark Witch]!"

A green arm burst from the ground, grabbed the Black Witch's soul by the throat, and dragged it into the abyss.

boom! boom!
The attack of the Guardian Chimera struck, its violent power tearing through space. After two clear, mournful cries, the figures of the red and blue twins transformed into countless shattered data points and vanished into the air.

In the blink of an eye, Li Guanqi's playing field was completely empty.

[Twins] An empty field is not a good thing. This deck has a hard time replenishing monsters. [Entrance Page] can replenish them, but this card is a disadvantage. Also, [Twins] has self-restriction, so it is generally not included.

The white paper draws a card, then proceeds to process the chain: "[Gazelle] effect, add [Cornfield Serpent God] to your hand."

C1 [Black Witch] was accused of failing its Special Summon, rendering [Sen'e Wolf] on the field useless.

However, she still has a three-color card [Sen'er Wolf Mother] on the field, and a hand trap in her hand, so she still has three cards left.

That won't do.
Li Guanqi looked at his remaining cards, his fingertips twirling one of them, his gaze suddenly sharpening.

still have a chance.

"Activate the magic card——"

He slammed a card heavily onto the duel disk, the eerie symbols on the card flashing with an ominous light.

"A talent capable of winning three battles!"

"This card has three effects, and I'll choose one." Li Guanqi's declaration pierced through the roar of the behemoth, echoing clearly throughout the plaza. "Until the End Phase, without targeting, gain control of one monster your opponent controls!"

The phantom of "Talent for Three Battles" appeared, and a golden halo was generated out of thin air, carrying an indescribable bewitching power, enveloping the entire battlefield on white paper.

【Sen'e Wolf Mother】 and 【Guardian Chimera】 looked up at the halo in the sky and let out a low growl of warning.

Just as the halo was about to envelop the monster.

"The [Wolf Mother of the Forest] on the liberation field." Bai Zhi frowned, then suddenly raised his hand. "Activate its effect: negate [Talent of Three Battles]!"

As soon as she finished speaking, [Sen'e Wolf Mother] let out a shrill wail, and her entire body suddenly disintegrated, turning into a ball of pitch-black resentment.

A surge of resentment erupted, and several wolves made of pure shadow burst forth, pouncing on the [Triple Warrior] in mid-air.

boom--!
The phantom was viciously torn apart and rammed by the wolves, turning into light fragments amidst a series of ear-piercing cracking sounds.

All the overt resistance has been handed over. Li Guanqi still has two cards in his hand. The blank paper has three cards in its hand, two of which are face down.

Thousands of spectators held their breath. They didn't understand the rules of the duel at all, but they knew they were "exchanging blows." It was similar to watching a 3D blockbuster. It didn't matter if they didn't understand the plot or the fight.

As long as the special effects are awesome, that's fine.

"Can it still be steamed..." a Yu-Gi-Oh! player muttered to himself, his palms sweating.

"Please, just one more card! Please! Don't let it end like this!"

"If the stadium is empty, what can be used to make up for it?"

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Li Guanqi suddenly smiled and picked out one of his two remaining cards, sending it to the graveyard.

"Discard the card 【Engraved Demon Blacksmith】 from your hand, activate its effect, and add one 【Engraved Demon】 Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand."

Bai Zhi frowned slightly, looking somewhat irritated.

The Gemini players outside the arena jumped up: "Oh—"

"It can also be steamed!"

The spark of hope had just been ignited when it was doused with a bucket of cold water.

Bai Zhi moved with lightning speed, like a blur. She drew a card from her hand and sent it to the graveyard without hesitation.

"Chain activation—[Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring]!"

"Negative effect of [Engraving Blacksmith]!"

On the chessboard, just as the phantom of a demonic man carrying an iron coffin appeared, a girl with animal ears suddenly appeared in mid-air. She angrily stretched out her hand, and an invisible force locked onto the [Engraving Demon Blacksmith].

"Hmph, that won't do." Li Guanqi's smile remained unchanged. He raised the duel disk and slammed down his last card.

"Quick Attack Magic!"

"[The named person of the tomb]!"

The audience gasped in surprise, and those in the know exclaimed, their eyes widening in disbelief: "Oh—there's another one—the [Graveyard Finger]!"

"Isn't this the Gemini archetype card? What's so strange about it?"

"When did [Graveyard Finger] become a card native to [Twins]?"

"Isn't the artwork for 【Called to the Grave】 supposed to be red and blue 【Twins】? I just checked, and it's the same as other 【Twins】 cards. Do you really think I'm a clueless player?"

"."

Bai Zhi smiled knowingly: "Heh, you're not willing to admit defeat, are you?"

"Of course." Li Guanqi smiled calmly and waved his hand forward. "Target the [Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring] in the opponent's graveyard, banish that monster, and negate any cards with the same name!"

"arrest!"

Click——!
Without warning, the ground cracked open, and a ghastly green skeletal arm burst forth from the earth, precisely gripping the ankle of the [Gray Flow] phantom!

"Ah—!" [Gray Flowing Beauty] let out a sharp cry of agony as she struggled to be dragged into the crack in the tomb by that green hand.

The bindings on the [Engraving Blacksmith] were released instantly.

Li Guanqi popped a card from his deck and showed it to the blank sheet of paper, "I'm adding [Saint of the Demon] to my hand."

For the first time, Bai Zhi's expression turned serious, then his brows relaxed: "What can you do, Single [Carving Demon]?"

Upon hearing this, the "experts" watching the live stream from the sidelines also realized what was going on.

"Right, what can a single [Engraving Demon] do? [Wrath] or [Divine Bow] and wait to die?"

"The guy was a scumbag, wasn't he? [Three Battles] is all about the hands, [Grave Finger] controls [Wolf Mother], isn't that just another round of intelligence gathering?"

"You mean [Wolf Mother]? [Beast King] chain-pushes [Wolf Mother], aren't you going to explode?"

Holy crap! It's so thin!

"It's no use being meticulous. Sisters have three cards in hand next turn. They can return [Holy Thistle] and [Melting Beast Fusion] from the graveyard to their hand, and they also have [Forest Wolf] on the field. With such abundant resources, their sustainability is overwhelming."

"Gemini—Sent!"

"The reason why Brother G failed to pass the attack is that even after going through all the difficulties, he was still pressured to maintain his resources."

"Dude, I'll do my best."

"Why not play [Snake Eyes]? [Lady], [Togahime], and [Little Blue] are all done."

"Wake up, [Lady] has been dead for a long time."

"My intuition tells me they don't seem like people who have a 'watch'."

Li Guanqi was also pondering this question—what could a single [Engraving Demon] do? He didn't have anything like [Snake Eyes], [Lady], or [Self-Playing], so he couldn't switch to other series.

He kept looking through the cemetery, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Got it!

"Activate the magic card, [Cut Demon's Chant]!" Li Guanqi played his only card. "Add [Demon's Roar] from the deck to my hand, and then discard [Demon's Roar].

The white paper smiled slightly, spreading its hands as if to say without words, "Go ahead and move."

"【Luri】Activate this effect when discarding a card from your hand to the graveyard; Special Summon this card." Li Guanqi waved his hand lightly, and a white light appeared in the void, from which a little devil flew out.

"【Luli】Set connection marker for single unit!"

The little devil flapped its wings and transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky.

"Connect Summon!"

"Appear! Link 1, [The Soul-Suppressing Coffin of the Carving Demon]!"

The iron coffin slammed down, then slowly opened, releasing white steam.

"Release [Soul Coffin] to Special Summon [Red Tears Demon's Day of Tears] from the Deck!"

"Activate the effect of [Red Tears Demon] to send [Clock Demon Paradise] from the Deck to the Graveyard."

[The Demon of Crimson Tears] raised his hand and pierced the earth with the crimson soul spear in his hand, and a wisp of deep red soul entered the graveyard.

Bai Zhi's expression changed slightly, for a simple reason: [The Paradise of the Carving Demon] has an interrupt effect. [The Paradise of the Carving Demon] is a trap card, which is considered half a card to be stuck in your hand. I didn't expect that in such a crucial duel, he would abandon his usual stable build and instead seek the highest potential.

"Activate the effect of [Cut Demon Blacksmith] from the Graveyard." Li Guanqi continued, "Return [Luri] from the Graveyard to the Deck, and Special Summon this card."

"The effect of the Graveyard's [Soul-Suppressing Coffin] can be used as an Equip Card to equip [Cut Magic Blacksmith].

The illusory image of the iron coffin transformed into a stream of light and attached itself to the back of the [Engraving Demon Blacksmith], solidifying into a ferocious black iron shoulder armor.

The Demon-Carving Blacksmith let out a low roar, his aura surging.

"Activate the effect of [Cardsmith]!" Li Guanqi pointed to the imposing three-headed behemoth on the opponent's field, "Target [Soul Coffin] and the opponent's [Guardian Chimera], send those cards to the graveyard!"

"Take one of my moves!"

The black iron shoulder armor on the [Carving Blacksmith] suddenly disintegrated, turning into countless pitch-black chains that shot out in all directions, directly attacking the [Guardian Chimera] and fiercely binding its limbs and three heads!
"Roar--!"

The Guardian Chimera roared in agony as it struggled to fall into the abyss.

Bai Zhi's expression didn't change much; it was still within expectations.

“Set connection markers for the two entities: [Engraving Demon Blacksmith] and [Red Tear Demon].” Li Guanqi then raised his hand high.

A blue square light screen appeared, and two monsters transformed into red streaks of light and flew into it.

"Connect Summon!"

"Link 2, [The Great Sage's Coffin Carved with Demons]!"

An even larger iron coffin descended, surrounded by a chilling red aura.

"Activate the effect of [Great Coffin] to return [Soul Coffin] and [Evil Twins: Trade] from the Graveyard to the Deck."

"Fusion Summon!"

"Appear! The Day the Demon Weeps!"

The demonic man wielding the crimson ghost cannon descended, and the air turned chilling.

"Activate the effect of [Day of Tears] to Special Summon [Engraved Blacksmith] from the Graveyard!"

[The Day of Tears] blasted the ground, and [The Carving Blacksmith] slowly crawled out of the crack.

So far, it's what everyone calls "understanding" the operation.

"【King of Raging Waves】?" the white paper murmured. "Or 【Divine Bow】?"

“If we’re going to fight, this is more suitable.” Li Guanqi smiled slightly and raised his hand again. “I will set connection markers for [Day of Tears] and [Engraving Blacksmith]!”

"The circuit that guides purgatory!"

"Connect Summon!"

A scorching heat surged forth, and black flames ignited at the edge of the light barrier.

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised: "This aura is..."

"Descend!" Li Guanqi shouted.

"Link 2! [Destroyer of Machines, Yama]!"

Flames shot skyward, and a figure slowly emerged from the inferno. He had two horns on his head, a handsome face, but his eyes held a coldness and majesty beyond his years. Bai Zhi smiled faintly, as if recalling something.

The first time she and he traveled through the Serpent's Life Bell, the 'possessed character' was a boy with two horns on his head. The boy had a similar fate to them. Because his body mutated at the age of ten, he was called a 'demon child' and suffered discrimination and expulsion.

At first, the villagers just ostracized him.

Later, they pushed him into the abyss.

The boy did not die; he fell into a lair inhabited by monsters, where he lived among them, drinking blood and eating flesh, his mind twisted by the daily loneliness and hatred.

Five years later, he climbed out of the abyss.

Those "partners" who once promised to play together but then pushed him into the abyss, none of them escaped unscathed.

He turned them all into "Broken Machine Children".

They cast dolls from their flesh and souls to accompany them forever. These children are sinister and terrifying, carrying an undying resentment, and fight for their king.

This army possesses a terrifying characteristic: even if they are killed, their broken bodies and souls will quickly regenerate, transforming into the appearance of another child, endlessly regenerating, ensuring the demons never perish.

In less than ten years, that exiled boy became a notorious demon in the eyes of the world, known as the Destroyer of Machines, Yama.

His reign lasted a long time.

Until four women appeared.

Four exorcist girls, representing 'justice,' 'holiness,' 'purification,' and 'judgment' respectively.

It must be admitted that 'restraint' does exist in this world.

These four women were indeed skilled, each strike deadly. They saw through the secret of the [Broken Mechanism Child] and used their holy power to seal the evil 'Reincarnation Technique'.

Yama's crumbling army, which relied on for survival, suffered a crushing defeat.

In the end, the God King was beheaded, and the demon was vanquished.

It's a very cliché story: the hero defeats the demon king.

The smile on Bai Zhi's lips deepened: "What a nostalgic card."

"However, [Broken Mechanism] always targets specific enemies."

[Broken Machine God Rakshasa Silence] plus [Singing Director], it seems there is a total of one eat, one explosion plus [Little Night] double flight, a full four sections of resistance.

In reality, it might be that [Mega Fusion] uses [Mirror Sword Knight] as material to create a [Chimera], [Mirror Sword Knight] controls [Rakshasa], [Serpent God] controls [Channel Guide], and the entire [Mech Breaker] field is ruined.

"That's not necessarily true." Li Guanqi raised the corner of his mouth and waved his hand, "Activate the effect of [Day of Tears] to send [Red Tear Demon] back to the deck and deal 1200 damage to the opponent."

"Chain activation of [Yama] effect, adding [Destroyer God Sama] from the deck to your hand."

"Boom—" A deep red beam of light shot out from the cemetery and pierced through the white paper's chest.

The blue team's base score has dropped significantly, now standing at only 6800.

Bai Zhi patted her chest, clearly unconcerned about the damage, but she couldn't understand the card retrieved by [Yama].

“【Sama】…”

"Special Summon from Graveyard, Level 6..."

The two experts off the field were also stunned; this card was rather unusual.

"hiss--"

"Some people understand."

Normally, when [Destroyer] goes on business trips, he brings 'Red Dog' [Sabala], it's rare to see him bring [Sama].

"What are you thinking?" The blank sheet of paper racked its brains, but couldn't come up with anything worth 'understanding'.

Only [Yama] and [Great Sage Coffin] remain on the field. These two are the only materials needed to make [Divine Bow], and [Rakshasa] is easily defeated by [Snake God] in a one-on-one battle.

"Ah~" Li Guanqi smiled mischievously, "Have you forgotten our demon clan's flower?"

"The Demon Clan's Flower?" Bai Zhi frowned, a silver-haired girl's image flashing through her mind. She was startled. "Could it be—"

"Hahaha, I will—" Li Guanqi laughed, raising his hand high, "set connection markers for Link2's [Yama] and Link2's [Great Sage Coffin]!"

"Guide the circuit without light!"

boom--

Above the dueling platform, a huge red moon suddenly descended, its thick, blood-like light enveloping the entire arena. Countless scarlet bats appeared out of thin air, fluttering wildly under the moon and emitting sharp, piercing cries.

The guards outside were horrified and instinctively raised their guns, only to find that they could not lock onto the ghostly figures.

"Captain, what is this?!"

"Hold on! It's a duel projection!" the captain roared, gripping the butt of his rifle tightly.

To everyone's astonishment, a foot wearing a black high heel slowly emerged from the center of the crimson circuit.

"Connect Summon!"

Next came slender calves encased in smooth black stockings, and layers of black gothic skirt.

"Descend, Queen of Eternal Night!"

Finally, a figure appeared completely under the red moon.

"Link 4! [The Shadow Without Light - Po A Ku]!"

She had long, silvery-white hair that shimmered ominously in the blood-red moonlight. Her scarlet eyes held no emotion, only an ancient emptiness and indifference.

She doesn't resemble a monster; she's more like an ancient and noble vampire queen who has descended to earth.

The guards watching from the sidelines held their breath, staring intently at the figure, their minds blank.

"What a nice view."

The viewers in the live stream were much more direct: "Black stockings—!"

"Ah—!!! It's a moving [A-Bao A-Ku]!"

"See this? This is the flower of our demon race! Do you have one?"

"The Demon Clan's flower isn't the [Goddess of the Underworld]?"

A very small number also possess resistance: "【A-Bao A-Ku】? It has cost, but what can it pull?"

The blank sheet of paper was also aware of this incongruity, and was completely confused, unable to make sense of it no matter what.

“Discard the [Destroyer God Sama] from your hand and activate the effect of [A-Bao A-Ku].” Li Guanqi’s lips curled up. “This card is banished until the end of the turn, and you can Special Summon 1 LIGHT/DARK monster from your Graveyard.”

"What are you thinking?" Bai Zhi couldn't help but ask. "There's nothing in your graveyard worth summoning."

"The effects of 【Live Stream ☆ Twins Kisskill】 have already been used."

She remembered very clearly what kind of monsters were in his grave, and there was absolutely nothing worth summoning.

"The monsters that went to the grave this turn weren't any good cards," Li Guanqi chuckled, a hint of cunning in his voice. "But last turn, what about you—"

"Last round?" Bai Zhi frowned as he recalled the two people's words.

"At the end of the phase, the effect of [Chimera the Beast King] is to randomly select one card from the opponent's hand and send it to the graveyard."

"That's spot on! You managed to cut a moving image."

“A moving dot, could it be—” The white paper suddenly gripped the guide cane tightly.

"That's it, the one that's so difficult!" Li Guanqi shouted, his voice barely suppressing his laughter, "For the devil, let's put on a show!"

The crimson blood moon hanging high in the sky suddenly flashed, and within the viscous blood light, a pulsating blue data stream abruptly appeared, emitting a crackling electrical sound.

"Special summons!"

"【Live Stream☆Gemini, Li-La】!"

At the center of the crimson circuit, the queen quietly disappeared while chanting, and a lively and light figure jumped out from the pixelated blue light, its gray-blue eyes playfully winking at the outside world.

"Yay—" [Lila] made a peace sign with a blank expression towards the live stream camera.

"If this card is successfully Normal or Special Summoned," Li Guanqi said in a deep voice, "you can activate this effect if you have no other monsters on your field."

Special Summon 1 "Giskill" monster from your hand or Deck!

Holding the guide cane, Bai Zhi's breathing trembled slightly; for the first time, he panicked.
