Chapter 351 Weather
The drizzling rain fell from the gray sky, striking the gravel on the wasteland and splashing up fine dust.

Both the red and blue teams used the positive effects of their domain cards, avoiding entering the other-dimensional space, and truly felt the coldness of the raindrops.

A cold, electronic voice rang out above the dueling arena, devoid of any emotion.

[First strike is the best option]

【Blue Square】

【The duel begins】

Upon hearing this announcement, Li's heart sank.

Attack from behind.

After clashing with Qimengsi, his spirituality was greatly damaged, and now he has been given a second attack, which is simply adding insult to injury.

She took a deep breath; the scent of rain carried the earthy smell of the soil. She looked at her starting hand of five cards, and her tense brows relaxed slightly.

[Effect Masker]

The Crushing of the Holy King

[A pot full of gold and modesty]

[The Solemn Prayer]

[The solemn and sage-like Dragon King]

It's alright, not too bad.

Two main cards, three general-purpose cards, and still have a fighting chance.

Qiqi, sitting opposite him, had no expression on her face. Her empty eyes reflected neither the gloom of the rainy day nor the tension of her opponent.

She simply raised her hand and ran it across the cards in her hand.

The movement was as gentle as picking up a fallen leaf.

She glanced at her hand, then fixed her gaze on a card, picked it out, and gently slapped it onto the duel disk.

"call."

The voice was very soft, like talking to oneself, yet it clearly reached Li's ears.

"【Blue sky on snowy days】."

As soon as she finished speaking, the rain in front of Qiqi suddenly turned into frost and mist, and in the misty air, a petite figure slowly took shape.

It was a little girl wearing a sky-blue dress, pointing a paint gun at the enemy, with a faint smile on her face.

She hovered a few centimeters above the ground, surrounded by swirling, invisible snowflakes.

"Activate the effect of [Snowy Weather, Azure Sky]," Qiqi said softly. "Select one [Weather] Spell/Trap Card from your Deck and place it face-up."

The little girl-like Sky Blue raised the paint gun, and blue light began to gather at the muzzle.

Li's eyes narrowed, and without hesitation, he inserted a card into the graveyard.

"Chain activation of [Effect Vanisher]! Ineffective against [Snowy Weather Blue Sky]!"

A semi-transparent, petite fairy phantom appeared on the field. It pointed lightly at [Sky Blue], and an invisible veil was placed on [Sky Blue]'s body. The light gathered at the muzzle of the latter's gun dimmed instantly, and her movements froze.

The core effect was nullified, but Qiqi's face remained completely expressionless.

She simply drew a second card and gently tapped it onto the Duel Disk: "Activate Field Spell - [Weather Forecast]."

"Place one [Weather] Spell/Trap Card face up in your deck."

"boom--!"

The gray clouds in the sky churned even more violently, and the phantom of a magnificent weather station made of pure white clouds appeared above Qiqi. Countless weather sprites dressed in colorful dresses frolicked and played among the clouds, looking down at the earth.

"There's a weather forecast?" Li frowned instantly, looking at Qiqi with surprise, but the latter remained expressionless, her face blank in the rain.

Not right.

Something is wrong.

First, activate [Weather Forecast], then place the core field [Snow Weather Appearance] from the deck, and then summon [Sky Blue].

In this way, [Sky Blue] can use the effect of [Snow Weather Appearance] to directly exclude herself when she is targeted, and [Effect Vanisher] cannot affect her at all.

This is the most basic way to play the [Weather] deck; even someone who doesn't play [Weather] knows it.

This female detective, can't she do that?

Or……

Was he deliberately lying?

What might they be protecting? Usually, scammers use trivial effects to deceive people. The [Sky Blue] effect is so crucial, why would they use it to scam?
Is there any card with a higher effect than [Sky Blue] in the Weather section?

"[Weather Forecast] Effect Handling." Qiqi's voice was completely flat. "Place [Snowy Weather Appearance] face-up from the deck."

A pure white beam of light descended from the illusory cloud weather station behind her, and a card fell down, silently embedding itself in the magic trap area behind her.

The drizzling rain condensed into ice crystals, which then turned into snowflakes flying all over the sky.

"Activate the effect of the field spell [Weather Forecast], summoning again—"

"【Blue sky on snowy days】."

The second photo was taken on a snowy day with a clear blue sky.

"【Snowy Weather Blue】Except for itself, activate its effect." Qiqi stretched out her finger and gently pointed at her monster.

"This effect is granted by [Snowy Weather Appearance], which adds a [Weather] card from your deck to your hand."

[Sky Blue] The petite figure began to become transparent, transforming into a whirlwind of snowflakes, disappearing from the field and leaving behind a ball of light.

Li's pupils suddenly contracted.

Snowflakes fell on her wide red robe, the icy touch making her mind incredibly clear.

Her fingertips hovered over the cards in her hand; she picked up the card "Shattered Holy King" and then put it down.

For a normal [Weather] deck, this is the only search point, and also its most fatal weakness.

If you play it, the opponent's remaining three cards in their hand, if they are their own monsters and continuous spells, can be used in conjunction with the field to create three three-color counters.

When it was her turn, she was under a lot of pressure with only four cards in her hand.

Like solid ice and snow, it piled up layer upon layer in her heart.

Can't let go.

Absolutely not!

Without further hesitation, Li focused his gaze and decisively sent a card from his hand to the graveyard!

"Chain activation of [Crush of the Holy King]!" she declared decisively, her voice exceptionally clear in the silent snowy weather. "Ineffective [Sky Blue in Snowy Weather]!"

A red-haired girl's phantom appeared on the field. She simply raised her hand and gently grasped the snowflake that was about to escape into another dimension.

boom!
A dull cracking sound.

The swirling snowflake was crushed by an invisible hand, disintegrating into countless points of light before finally vanishing into nothingness.

The search was forcibly terminated.

The snow is still falling.

Li's deck was empty, and he only had three cards left in his hand.

Qiqi, on the other side, also has two cards left in her hand, one in front and one behind, and one field card.

She stood quietly in the snow, then suddenly looked up slowly and glanced at Li.

Li's heart skipped a beat, as if gripped by an invisible hand.

That was not contempt, not anger, and not the boasting of a victor.

It is compassion.

A chill ran up her spine, colder than the falling snow, making her limbs stiff.

As a solemn prayer.

Over the decades, she had seen countless eyes—fearful, awe-inspiring, hateful, desperate, greedy—but never one like this.

Like a god looking down on struggling ants, a kind of destined compassion.

I feel sorry for her.

“You…” Li’s lips moved, but the voice that came out was a little dry.

"What is it"

This was the first time she had been looked at like that since she became famous.

An enemy.

Qiqi did not answer.

She simply sent a card from her hand to the graveyard—a red card belonging to the [Weather] faction.

"Discard the card 'Sunny Weather Rust Red' from your hand to Special Summon this monster—"

Snapped.

The card was gently slapped onto the Duel Disk.

"Come out," she said calmly.

"【The Magician's Apprentice - The Dark Magician Girl】".

A dazzling pink light pierced through the gray snow curtain!
A girl wearing a blue and pink magician's skirt and a pointed hat twirled out. She winked her big eyes playfully, waved her short staff lightly, and landed gracefully on the snow, her toes hovering, untouched by dust.

The Magician's Apprentice - The Dark Magician Girl

Attack: 2000
Li's pupils shrank to a single point.

The brain is blank.

"This card is..."

"The evolved [Dark Magician Girl]?"

[Weather]...and [The Black Magician]?
What is this? What kind of deck is this?
……

A few kilometers away.

Imi X spurred the Shadow Dragon to gallop across the wasteland, the wind whistling in his ears, his face showing the relief of surviving a disaster.

"So who exactly is this person?"

"Miss Fool, are you alright? Hang in there, hang in there."

She was talking to herself when suddenly her expression froze.

A familiar yet unfamiliar surge of magical energy came from behind without warning. The energy was pure and condensed, like a needle piercing her senses.

Immy X abruptly stopped Ying Yilong, turned around, and stared intently into the distance.

The sandstorm was so strong that she couldn't see anything.

But she "saw" it.

That iconic magical energy that had given her countless nightmares.

"No...it can't be right?"

The color drained from Immi X's face at a visible speed, and her mouth gaped open in a ferocious expression.

"Are you kidding me?!"

"How did she get that card?!"

"Activate the effect of [Magician's Apprentice - Dark Magician Girl]," Qiqi said softly. "Add one [Golden Chest of Light] from the deck to your hand."

Li's pupils contracted to their maximum.

That card...

Her mind raced, a deluge of information exploding in her head—the newly unearthed power belonging to that nameless Pharaoh! Why would it appear in the hands of an unknown agent of the Spirit Control Division?
Before she could recover from her shock, Qiqi had already slapped the card into the magic trap zone.

"Activate the perpetual magic, [Golden Chest of Light]."

boom!
A massive golden cabinet, radiating divine light, appeared out of thin air and slammed heavily in front of Qiqi, creating a visible ripple of energy. The cabinet lid slowly opened, and dazzling light poured out from within.

Qiqi's face remained expressionless, like a puppet carrying out absolute orders.

"The effect of [Golden Chest of Light] is to add one monster with [Golden Chest of Light] written on it from your Deck to your hand."

She drew the card from her deck and showed it to Li.

The moment Li saw the card, he involuntarily took a half-step back, the gravel beneath his feet making a soft thud.

It was a ferocious dragon bound by pitch-black chains, with flames of destruction in the background.

"I will add [Gandora the Destroyer - Forbidden] to my hand."

Gandora? The Dragon of Destruction? It really is the Nameless Pharaoh.

As Li was pondering, he was interrupted once again by Qi Qi's cold voice.

"A spell card was activated this turn."

"Special Summon from the Extra Deck: [The Magician's Apprentice - Dark Magician Girl], banishing it from the field."

Before she could finish speaking, the smile on the playful black magician's face froze. The snow beneath her feet suddenly cracked open, revealing a bottomless vortex of purple magic that instantly swallowed her up!
Boom——!
A surge of violent dark magic rose into the sky, forming a pillar of energy connecting heaven and earth!

The snow stopped, and the rain stopped too.

The entire world was left with only this pure, destructive darkness.

"【The Dark Magician of Destruction】".

As the pillar of light dissipated, a brand new figure slowly descended from the aftershocks of the magic!

He was clad in a deep purple heavy armor robe, holding a scepter entwined with a green jewel, his eyes dignified and cold.

Li stared blankly at the figure, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

She finally understood.

She understood the pity in Qiqi's eyes when she first looked at her.

That's not sympathy.

That was a statement of a predetermined outcome.

It's about to become unstoppable.

"Activate the effect of [Dark Magician of Destruction]," Qiqi said calmly. "Add [Timaeus's Eye] from the deck to your hand."

Before she could understand what was going on, Qiqi revealed another card in her hand.

"With [Golden Chest of Light] on the field, activate the effect of [Gandora the Destroyer - Forbidden] from your hand."

Special Summon this card.

boom--!
The earth trembled violently as the bound, ferocious dragon broke free, unleashing a devastating storm of flames. The scorching heatwave hit him, making it hard for him to breathe.

【Gandora the Destroyer - Forbidden】

Attack: 0
“Level 8 monsters…there are two.” Li’s lips were a little dry. She stared intently at the two gigantic creatures that exuded a terrifying aura, her mind blank.

The black magician of destruction, the forbidden dragon of ruin.

You can create two level 8 monsters using only two cards in your hand.

Is it coming?

What will happen if you stack these two monsters on top of each other?
"I will stack the level 8 [Dark Magician of Destruction] with [Gandora the Destroyer - Forbidden]." Qi Qi's voice was icy.

The two monsters transformed into two streaks of light, one purple and one dark, which intertwined and swirled in the air. A chaotic dark nebula then appeared, devouring all the light around it.

"Awaken from your eternal slumber, Blood King! Let the cries of the dead sound your trumpet, and display your might beneath the crimson moon!"

"Xyz Summon!" Qiqi raised her voice, a rare occurrence.

"Descend, Rank 8, [True Blood Male Vampire]!"

Boom!

The dark nebula suddenly contracted, and crimson lightning burst forth from it. A huge, deep red moon rose into the sky, staining the entire wasteland with an ominous hue.

Under the moonlight, a tall figure slowly descended.

She wore a magnificent dark red aristocratic gown, her pale face was both beautiful and eerie, and her scarlet eyes were devoid of any emotion. She simply looked down at Li from her high position, as if she were examining a sacrifice that was about to be eaten.

"【True Blood Lord】?" Li frowned, unsure whether to be happy or sad.

She had thought that the two new cards she had never seen before would Xyz Summon a brand new monster, but it turned out to be an old one.

But this familiar face is terrifying enough.

"Remove one Xyz Material and activate the effect of [True Blood King]." Qiqi said softly, "Send the top 4 cards from both players' Deck to the Graveyard. If this effect sends a monster to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 of those monsters to your field."

With a furrowed brow, Li sent four cards from the top of his deck to the graveyard.

[The Solemn Dragon Princess Safira]

A solemn prayer

【Namer of the Grave】

[The Barrier of Solemnity]

When Li saw the pile of four, his eyes lit up and his hope was rekindled.

【Saphira the Dragon Sage】has a graveyard effect and is filled with 【Prayer】 and Spell Cards. 【Saphira the Dragon Sage】 in hand can be recycled and not chained for Special Summon, which is a big help to the opponent.

The deck hasn't given up yet.

Li gripped the card tightly in his hand, raising a faint, weak smile.

Qiqi glanced at Li, said nothing, and then raised her hand to send the four cards to the graveyard.

【Ephemera and Purple】

[Thunder Weather Appearance]

【Thunderstorm Turmeric】

[The appearance of overcast weather]

Nothing special, just four weather photos.

"【True Blood Lord】effect, Special Summon 【Thunder Weather Turmeric】."

A golden flash of lightning streaked through the rain, and a little boy in a yellow shirt, holding a paint gun, appeared.

As Li looked at the scene before him, his tense nerves relaxed slightly.

Thankfully, it wasn't some strange card.

Is the purpose of including the new card "Golden Coffin of Light" just to use the effect of "True Blood King" to summon a "Weather" monster from the graveyard?
The method is novel, but nothing to fear.

"The effects of [Thunder Weather Turmeric]." Qi Qi said calmly.

"Send your [Golden Coffin of Light] to the Graveyard, and place [Rainbow Sky Appearance] face-up from your Deck."

She raised her hand and pointed, and the sacred [Golden Casket of Light] crumbled into countless points of light. Immediately afterward, a magnificent rainbow stretched across the sky, and under the post-rain sky, countless weather sprites frolicked in the rainbow light.

"So that's how it is." Li finally understood. "We can also utilize the [Golden Vault of Light]."

"Except for [Thunder Weather Turmeric], activate its effect." Qiqi didn't respond and continued, "This effect is granted by [Snow Weather Appearance], add [Sunny Weather Appearance] from the deck to your hand."

[Thunderous Weather Turmeric]'s figure vanished in a flash of lightning, and a card popped out of the deck, which Qiqi then collected into her hand.

Immediately afterwards, she slapped a card into the magic trap zone.

That was a quick-attack spell.

"Quick-attack spell, [Timaeus's Eye]."

Li's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Return the [Dark Magician of Destruction] from the graveyard to the deck as material." Qiqi's voice deepened.

"Fusion Summon——"

Qiqi's voice exploded in Li's ears.

"【Super Archmage - Black Magician and Apprentice】!"

boom--!
A burst of black lightning suddenly appeared from the cemetery, intertwining and swirling with the surrounding purple torrents, eventually merging into one!
The light dissipated.

A pair of mage apprentices descended upon the muddy land after the snow melted.

"Activate the Perpetual Spell [Sunny Weather Appearance]".

"At this moment, I activate the effect of [Dark Magician Master and Apprentice] and draw a card." Qiqi calmly drew a card and then waved it toward the graveyard.

"Activate the effect of the cemetery's [Sunny Weather Rust Red] skill."

"Send this card to the Graveyard to send the [Snow Weather Appearance] on the field. Then, place the [Snow Weather Appearance] cards in your hand face-up."

"Next, activate the effect of [Clear Weather Rust Red]."

"This effect is granted by [Sunny Weather Appearance], except for [Sunny Weather Rust Red]. Release [True Blood] and Special Summon [Ephemeral Weather Ito Purple] from the Graveyard."

A purple-toned weather sprite appeared, surrounded by dark clouds.

At this point, all the resources from the [Golden Chest of Light] have been converted into card draws and [Weather] cards, with one [Dark Magician Master and Apprentice] card remaining, which can be drawn again in the next turn.

Li finally realized what was happening and nervously counted the [Weather] monsters and magical traps on the field.

[Weather] This deck has two characteristics.

One is that the monsters in the back row will have effects applied to the monsters in the front row, using the [Dragon Flower] template.

The second one is—

You can use the original family's traps and spells in the back row as link materials.

Currently, Qiqi has three monsters in her banished state: two on the field and three in the back row.

That is to say.

Four tricolor Kang!
Li's pupils twitched; she would have four cards in her next turn.

"The effect of 【Weather Forecast】 allows you to Link Summon a 'Weather' Link Monster, using face-up 'Weather' cards in your Spell & Trap Zone as Link Materials."

Qiqi spoke expressionlessly.

"I shall--"

“Use the following as linking materials: Rainbow Weather Appearance, Sunny Weather Appearance, and Blue Sky in Snowy Weather.”

On the card art for "[Snowy Weather, Sky Blue]", ice crystal snowflakes drift out and condense into a pure white light in the air.

In the card art for "Sunny Weather Appearance", the blazing sun melts away, converging into a beam of crimson-gold light.

In the card art for "Rainbow Weather Appearance," a seven-colored rainbow peels off the paper and transforms into a ray of brilliant light.

Three distinct beams of light shot into the sky, forming a crimson hexagonal connection point in the air above Qiqi, beneath the gray sky.

"Circuit Union."

Qiqi raised her eyes, her empty pupils reflecting the dazzling circuits in the sky. Her voice remained calm, yet carried an ancient rhythm as she chanted the incantation.

"The seven-colored arc drawn in the sky has transformed into the divine brush that judges all things."

"Here, blessings and an end are bestowed!"

"Connect Summon!"

"Link3, [Rainbow Weather]".

boom--!
The crimson gate of connection opened, and a figure bathed in seven-colored divine light slowly descended.

It was a holy maiden draped in rainbow-colored feathers and holding a celestial paintbrush. Her face was blurred and her features were indistinct, but simply by hovering high in the sky, she exuded an inviolable sacred aura.

【Rainbow Weather】

[Angel Race/Link/Effect ATK/2400 LINK-3]

The [Ephemeral Purple] pointed at by the arrow was surrounded by a faint rainbow light.

The [Rainbow Weather] arrow indicates that the [Weather] monster will transform into a mini [Radiant Dragon], which can negate the effects of its own Spell & Trap monsters.

During the next preparation phase, all excluded Weather monsters will return to the Rainbow Weather arrow and become a small Shiny Dragon.

“A rainbow…” Li glanced at the angels in the sky, smiled bitterly, and looked down at his hand.

She has [Solemn Dragon Sage] in her hand. This card is a Special Summon that does not join a chain. The effect of [Rainbow Weather] can only counter effects. To counter a Special Summon, you need to Tribute yourself. If you Tribute yourself, the Arrow minions will not have buffs.

If Rainbow Weather does not counter the Special Summon of Primal Dragon, then Primal Dragon can directly advance to Battle Rank.

The [Primordial Dragon] has 2600 attack power and can destroy [Rainbow Weather] in battle.

Theoretically, there is still a glimmer of hope.

The premise is...
"Activate the effect of [Ephemeral Weather Purple]," Qiqi said softly. "Place the [Yin Weather Pattern] and [Rainbow Weather Pattern] face up in the graveyard."

A layer of dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky.

“Not giving them any chance at all…” Li murmured, her heart beating faster and faster, heavier and heavier.

【Cloudy Weather Appearance】 can halve the attack power of one monster on the field, even monsters that are not chain-summoned like 【Original Dragon】 or 【Fenrir Wolf】.

This image of "Yin Weather Appearance" wasn't found through a search; it was created by piling up "True Blood Lord" and then pasting it back using "Ephemeral Weather Purple".

"Round over."

Qiqi cast a pitying glance at Li once again.

The rain, without me noticing, started to fall harder and harder.
