Chapter 363 Despicable, but won.
【The winner is】

【Blue Square】

【Duel ends】

[Next player for the red team, please get ready.]

As the announcement ended, an eerie silence fell over the blue team's preparation area.

Everyone remained frozen in place.

Hongzhong's mouth was agape, his eyes wide like copper bells. The reversal from [DD Crow] to [Ancient Vanguard] was too fast; his brain was still stuck on the moment Qiqi unleashed her three consecutive [Snow White] attacks.

"Wow, wow," Bai Shu exclaimed, speechless.

Xia Sheng and Chu Chan looked at each other, their faces filled with the same bewilderment.

They expected to win, but they didn't expect it to be this, this convoluted, and this abstract.

"Beautiful—Wuhu!" With a scream tinged with tears, Tang Xin could no longer hold back, and all the tension and worry she had accumulated exploded at this moment.

That sound ignited the deathly silence.

"We won! That's awesome!" Hongzhong jumped up, his face flushed with excitement. "Wow—we won! Qiqi won!"

He was gesticulating wildly, like a 200-pound mad monkey.

The other 'monkeys' joined in the dance.

Qi Mengsi breathed a long sigh of relief; this incident had truly terrified her.

I get incredibly tense every time I watch Qiqi's duel.

Because this child, regardless of whether he has an advantage or a disadvantage, always has the same expression.

If it were Li Guanqi with this expression, she would definitely think he had a backup plan and feel more at ease. But with Qiqi's expression, it's hard to tell whether she has a backup plan or is just expressionless.

"Impressive." Xia Sheng nodded silently, deeply agreeing.

Although it's only one point, that one point is incredibly valuable.

This is the point that the Pope gets first.

The pressure is too great; the opponent needs to come up with a deck that has a stronger first-strike advantage than [Arcane].

On the arena, a blue light screen lit up, and the Pope's body was teleported back to the preparation area.

He stumbled, his heavy armor groaning, and as if his bones had been removed, he floated lightly to the bench and sat down, motionless.

Beneath the mask, there was no longer any trace of sacred radiance.

In the red team's preparation area, the air was frozen, and the deathly silence was suffocating.

The confidants who had been acting like madmen just moments before now all had their heads down, not even daring to look at the Pope.

The sun opened its mouth, wanting to say something comforting, but its throat was too dry to utter a single syllable.

Imi X's face, which always wore a playful smile, was unusually expressionless at this moment.

She glanced at the dejected pope, her lips moved, and her habitual sarcasm was about to spill out, but seeing his utterly defeated appearance, she swallowed the words back and finally just clicked her tongue in annoyance.

Kill people and kill your heart.

This was even more painful than killing the Pope with a single blow.

Even she couldn't bear to make sarcastic remarks anymore.

Chu Linfeng turned his head, his gaze falling on the petite figure on the arena, his eyes filled with unprecedented fear.

He racked his brains but still couldn't understand the duel that had just taken place.

They couldn't understand the people on stage either.

What kind of person could exude such a strong yet weak aura?

The most fatal problem is now: who will deal with this person?
The morale of the entire red team can no longer be described as low; it has completely collapsed.

Even the Pope, who skipped two turns, lost, and in such a way that the loss was calculated down to the last card in the deck. Who can beat her?
FTK?

Are you kidding me? With [The Little Mermaid], Red Mermaid, [Crimson Light Proclaimer], [Ancient Vanguard], [Sword Priest], and [Statue of the Destiny] on top of that, how can you FTK?

This bone isn't just hard; it's like a steel plate coated with poison. Anyone who tries to bite into it will die.

The countdown to the substitution relentlessly ticked on the screen.

In this despairing silence, a figure stepped forward.

The lover gently released Li Guanqi's arm, which she had been holding tightly, but with a resolute air of facing certain death.

She walked to the front of the line, facing the suffocating silence.

"According to the plan, it's my turn."

Her voice was soft, yet it was like a needle piercing the frozen air.

The sun, the demon, and their confidants looked up blankly at the woman who had been barely noticeable.

Her plan did indeed include a contingency plan to deal with the "Tears of Elegy Clan".

But that's based on a normal duel. A normal duel is when the Little Mermaid jumps onto the field, turns around and sees that the duelist is a man, and then, with a look of disgust, dumps down three cards of "One Lifetime of Evil - Pearl World".

Ordinary members of the Dark Guard are unable to control the [Tears of Elegy Clan].

But the woman on the field is clearly no ordinary person.

A normal person's Little Mermaid wouldn't be able to kill an Ancient Vanguard, Ancient Guard, or Siren Mermaid with a single slash.

Can the Lover's self-destruct deck complete the mission against this indiscriminate "Tears of the Gods"?
Ignoring the skeptical looks from the crowd, the lover calmly looked ahead and spoke clearly, word by word:
"The Order of the Fathers has not yet been defeated."

This sentence has a certain magic to it.

The Pope, who had been leaning back in his chair like a dead man, subtly twitched his fingers, which were covered in steel armor.

He slowly, with great difficulty, raised his head slightly.

A faint light flickered in those eyes hidden behind the iron mask.

"The Order of the Fathers has not yet been defeated..."

Li Guanqi looked at his lover, who was ready to die, with a blank expression, but thought to himself, "If you're going to go on stage, you have to put on an act."

"Just like the real thing."

He knew very well that this woman had no sense of belonging to the Order of the Church.

They're trying to create a persona and gain trust by doing this.

The lover's figure transformed into a streak of red light and appeared on the arena.

She wore a tight-fitting black combat suit that accentuated her graceful curves, and a metal shield above her eyes, creating a stark contrast with the petite Qiqi.

The lover looked Qiqi up and down, his consciousness connecting with Baishu and the other imaginary creatures, his mind rapidly searching for all the information about her.

Without any assessment materials, it was as if the Juling Division had entered through back channels. After spending more than half a year in the Fifth Department, their scores were consistently at the bottom every month, but they were not dismissed or retrained.

I take more than 20 days off a month, and most of the time I do work is spent gazing at the sky, so my presence is extremely minimal.

The Dark Division of the Soul-Binding Bureau actually had such a trump card hidden away?
[Red side, please choose the order of attack]

The AI ​​referee's cold, indifferent voice rang out. The lover, without even looking up from Qiqi, replied:
"I choose to attack first."

The obvious choice is that non-OTK decks are far too advanced to give an advantage in duels.

Qiqi, on the other side of the dueling platform, didn't react much.

She merely lifted her eyelids, glanced at her lover, and silently raised her arm, the dueling disc flashing blue light unfolding on her wrist.

The whole process was smooth and fluid, without a single unnecessary movement; his expression seemed to say, "Further words are pointless."

The lovers chuckled softly and unfolded their own duel disks.

She looked at Qiqi's calm face and suddenly spoke, her tone tinged with a hint of probing amusement.

"You do have some of Wang Shou's characteristics."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiqi's pupils contracted very slightly.

Although it was fleeting, so fast that it seemed like an illusion.

But both the audience and Li Guanqi noticed it.

The lover smiled and continued unhurriedly, "But if it's Wang Shou, I'm sure he won't lose to me."

The atmosphere changed abruptly after these words were spoken.

Qiqi, who had always been expressionless and indifferent to everything in the world, had a rare, cold ripple in her clear eyes.

"What is he saying?" In the blue preparation zone, Tang Xin, Hong Zhong, and the others were completely confused.

How did Qiqi get involved with Wang Shou?

Qi Mengsi's heart sank even further.

【Attack first】

【Red Square】

【The duel begins】

The AI ​​referee's cold, impersonal announcement interrupted everyone's various thoughts.

A crucial duel has begun.

If the lover can't win over Qiqi, then the other members of the red team can forget about it.

"Whoosh—" Qiqi and her lover simultaneously drew their initial five cards.

The lover glanced at his hand and decisively played a card: "Activate the Spell Card - [Pot of Greed and Humility]".

"Flip over the top 3 cards of your deck and add 1 of them to your hand. Then return the remaining cards to your deck."

"Holy crap, a ghost?!" Hong Zhong blurted out.

Within the "Jug" family, decks that include "Greedy and Humble Jar" are generally niche and unconventional.

Because this [Pot] has such strong self-restriction, it is self-restricted for the entire turn - it cannot be Special Summoned.

Those who can adapt to this self-restraint are either summoning systems like [Traveler] or [Emperor], or they are the underworld characters with 40 cards and 35 red cards.

It's unlikely that [Migrant Bird] and [Emperor] would dare to be sent out to face [Pearl Tears and Lament].

The only option is the invincible metabeat that attacks first.

That's what the ordinary duelists, including the Red and Dark Captains, thought, until the Lover turned over three cards.

[Things rolling back]

[Instigation and entrapment]

[The Life-Slaying Treasure Scroll]

“These cards are…” Chu Chan frowned.

"It even includes [transaction rollback]?" Hong Zhong scratched his head, looking puzzled.

Xia Sheng hit the nail on the head: "It doesn't seem like a male escort. Male escorts are slow-paced and may not be able to win [Tears]."

"It should be a burn deck."

The [Tears of Elegy Clan] still has weaknesses. In hand traps and T0 deployment terminals, there are no trap counters unless you bring the [Dark Realm Dragon God King] as an additional item.

This deck can't handle fast-paced burn damage, especially in the 4000 MMR environment.

"Four cards are covered," the lover said quickly. "Activate the spell card, [Life-Slaying Treasure Card]."

"Draw cards from your deck until you have 3 cards in your hand."

"I have zero cards in my hand, so—I'll draw three cards!"

The lovers took all three cards into their palms and lightly ran their fingertips across the cards.

But this is only the beginning.

"It's not over yet."

The lover spoke calmly, pointing to one of the four cards he had covered.

"Open the cover card—[The Temptation of Insects]!"

"Discard the [Transaction Rollback] card from your hand as the cost of activating it."

"I'll draw two more cards from my deck."

wow——

Two more cards acquired.

"What's wrong with this woman? Why is she constantly drawing cards?" Hongzhong stared at his lover like a detective. "What kind of underworld deck is she looking for? What card is she looking for?"

"I guess they don't want to interact." Chu Chan's voice was calm, but he couldn't hide his seriousness. "The deck is full of card draw and finishing components, without any hand traps, it's the most extreme first-strike deck."

"Activate the Spell Card, [Purgatory of Nothingness], draw one card." The lover drew another card, inspected his full hand, then picked one and played it, "Summon—[Demon Girl Lilith]."

"Next, cover both cards."

In the blink of an eye, her backstage area was once again filled with five perfectly sealed face-up cards.

One in front and five behind form a breathtaking T-shape.

After the lover finished doing all this, he finally raised his eyes and looked at Qiqi on the other side of the arena.

"My turn is over," she announced softly, bringing this seemingly perfect first strike to a close.

Now, the pressure is on Qiqi.

"What deck is this?" Tang Xin frowned as she looked at it.

Qiqi glanced at her lover, then flipped over a card in her hand: "Before the end of the Main Phase, activate the effect of the card in my hand [Tears of Elegy Type: Awesome Wrathful Type], Special Summon this card, banishing [Melo Mermaid] from your hand."

A streak of red light flashed, and a red-toned mermaid warrior wielding an axe-spear descended, the [Melo Mermaid] card in his hand turning into specks of light and dissipating.

"Activate the effect of [Tears of Elegy Type: Awesome Wrathful Type] to send three cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard."

The red mermaid wielded his axe, and the phantom images of three cards emerged from the top of the deck, falling into the graveyard like leaves.

A sudden burst of light shone forth.

【The Little Mermaid: A Lament for the Pearl-Tear Clan】

【Ancient Vanguard Kyle Burke】

[Sword Priest Mudora]

"Great!" Hong Zhong shouted excitedly. "[Ancient Vanguard], check the intelligence!" Tang Xin chimed in.

Chu Chan and the other steady individuals relaxed and let out a soft breath.

Only Qi Mengsi frowned, sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the dueling arena.

"Activate the effect of 'Little Mermaid' from the Graveyard." Qiqi calmly announced the chain, "Return the materials containing this card to the Deck, and Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster."

"Chain 2, [Ancient Vanguard Kelberk]."

She paused for a moment, glancing at her lover's deck area.

"Both players send five cards from the top of their decks to the graveyard."

The lover's smile remained unchanged; he simply raised his chin slightly and spread his hands.

slam-la-

【Ancient Vanguard Kelberk】With a flash of light, the phantom images of ten cards at the top of both players' decks cascaded down like a waterfall, turning into streams of light and disappearing into their respective graveyards.

The audience was silent.

People on the red team visit Qiqi's grave, while people on the blue team visit their lover's grave.

Qiqi's Gravesite: [Mermaid Melody], [Renohart], [Echo], [Renohart], [Ancient Guard].

The vanguard is once again piled up with ancient guards!
And what the lovers piled up—

[DD Explosives], [Demon Girl Lilith], [Transaction Rollback], [Life-Slicing Treasure Card], [Purgatory of Nothingness]

The intelligence has been completely exposed.

"Holy shit—" Hong Zhong glanced at it and immediately cursed, "[DD explosives]?!"

"Has the other side never won before? Why resort to such dirty tricks?"

The group of ANBU members joined in the jeering: "Does the other side even have any fighting spirit?!"

Qi Mengsi coldly silenced the commotion: "Quiet."

On the other side, in the dueling arena.

"Hey, our tactics have been exposed." The lover shrugged and spread his hands, showing no fighting spirit whatsoever.

With a blank expression, Qiqi processed the chain: "Return the [Little Mermaid] from the graveyard and the [Tears of Elegy Type: Kusha's Wrath Type] from the field to the deck, and Fusion Summon them."

"【The Lament of the Pearl-Tear Clan - The Narcissus Mermaid】".

The beautiful Narcissus Mermaid descended with her sword, and upon seeing her opponents in front and behind her, her expression immediately turned serious.

"Activate the effect of [Narcissus Mermaid] to send her to the Graveyard or retrieve her."

"Chain 2, [Echo], Recycle the [Tears of Elegy Clan] monsters except for those mentioned above."

"Chain 3, [Reno Hart], Special Summon this card, send 1 'Tears of the Goddess' card from your hand to the Graveyard."

"Chain 4, banish 7 cards." Qiqi banished three cards from her hand and another [Renohart], [Echo], [Ancient Vanguard], and [Melo Mermaid] from her graveyard, going bankrupt. "Activate the effect of [Snow White] from the graveyard, Special Summon this card."

"Chain 5, [Ancient Guardian], sends five cards from the top of both players' decks to the Graveyard."

slam-la-

Both sides violently piled up ten.

The lover was taken aback. The combination of [Ancient Vanguard] and [Ancient Guard] destroyed her two [Beast Bait] and two [DD Explosives]. The opponent's luck was truly amazing.

Immediately afterwards, the phantom images of the seven cards transformed into streams of light and flew to another dimension, having gone bankrupt just to gain a glimmer of hope.

In the pure white light, a girl with animal ears, wearing a white dress and with silver hair reaching her waist, gracefully twirled and landed on the field.

【Fairy Princess: White Snow】

"All cards gone?!" Red Center was shocked. "Going all out like this? Aren't you going to wait for [Ancient Guardian] to stack five cards first?"

Tang Xin took a deep breath: "Even if you don't keep cards in your hand, you must keep [Sword Priest] in the graveyard. Qi Qi's duel is terrifying."

"When playing against a deck like this, resources are no longer important," Chu Chan said.

The chain reaction is then processed.

Renohart's figure solidified and descended beside Snow White. Qiqi's hand was already empty, so the effect of discarding the [Tears of Elegy] card would not be dealt with.

[Echo] Recycles [Mermaid] except for [Echo].

Finally, there's the effect of [Narcissus Mermaid]. She lightly taps her longsword, and the phantom of a card, [Tears of Elegy Clan Type: Absolute Wrath Clan], sinks into the graveyard.

After a long chain of events, before the lovers could even catch their breath, Qiqi raised her hand again: "Open another chain."

"Activate the effect of [Renohart] on the field, and send one [Tears of Elegy] monster from your Deck to the Graveyard."

"Chain 2, [Tears of Elegy Clan Type: Awesome Clan], sends two cards from the top of the deck to the graveyard."

“Chain 3, [Fairy Princess - Snow White].” Qiqi’s gaze fell on the strange demon girl on the Lovers’ Field. “Targeting [Demon Girl Lilith], that monster will turn face down.”

"How annoying." The lover pouted, her eyebrows curving upwards, her smile deepening.

Blue team's preparation area.

"There's a chance!" Tang Xin realized, "The back row is full, [Lilith] can't release herself to activate her effect!"

"Cut off one of her dispatch points first!" Chu Chan said in a deep voice.

“How terrifying,” the lover said leisurely, his eyes gleaming with excitement beneath the metal shield. “This [Ancient Guardian] bears a resemblance to her.”

In the blink of an eye, a sharp glint flashed in the eyes of [Snow White] on the field.

The beast-eared girl's figure transformed into a pure white arc of light, flipping through the air and delivering a horizontal kick towards [Demon Girl Lilith].

[Lilith] raised her hand to block, and with a soft sound, she turned into a card face down on the ground, her face contorted in pain.

The Red Mermaid opens another chain, swinging its axe and sending in another [Statue of the Deity], clearly determined to win.

Chain 1: Reno Hart sneers, brandishing his whip, and sends the Little Mermaid of the Pearl Tears Clan from his deck to the graveyard.

The light shone once more in the cemetery.

"It's lit up!" Hongzhong exclaimed excitedly, slapping his thigh.

"Activate the effect of the Little Mermaid in the graveyard." Qiqi waved her hand and pointed, "Return the two Mermaids from the graveyard and Reno Hart from the field to the deck."

Three streaks of light swirled and rushed into the vortex of the card deck.

"Fusion Summon!"

"[Kaleidohart, the Pearl Tear Singer]!"

An extremely oppressive aura emanated from underground, and a hideous demon's head slowly emerged from the abyss, sparks of energy flying everywhere.

【Karedohat】emerged from the abyss, his expression obscured, only a pair of scarlet eyes coldly scanning his lover's backstage.

"Activate the effect of [Tears of Elegy Clan - Karedohat]." Qiqi's voice was as calm as ever, revealing no emotion.

The demon in the abyss raised its hideous tentacles.

Following the normal progression, the next step is to select a card, bounce it back into the deck, and disrupt the Lovers' core strategy.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Qiqi's verdict.

However, one second, two seconds...

Qiqi raised her hand, her fingertips hovering in mid-air, and hesitated to fall.

The girl who was always decisive and swift, whose actions were so fast that they were almost invisible, paused for the first time during the duel.

"Huh?" In the blue preparation zone, Hong Zhong and the others looked puzzled. "What's going on? Why isn't Qi Qi moving?"

Tang Xin clenched her fists nervously: "Five cards...is it going to be hard to choose?"

Qi Mengsi's face darkened. She stared at Qi Qi on the arena, her heart sinking to the bottom.

Qiqi is still too naive and easily influenced by others.

The hesitation at this moment is the best proof.

On the ring, the lovers crossed their arms, a playful smile playing on their lips beneath the metal shields.

"Hehehe..."

She neither urged him nor spoke, but simply enjoyed the view quietly.

Admiring that seemingly indestructible iceberg, a crack appeared because of her words, "the shadow of the king's hand."

This would bring her more pleasure than winning the duel outright.

at last.

Under the deathly silence of the entire audience, Qiqi's hovering fingertips moved.

That slender finger, having made up its mind, suddenly thrust forward, pointing straight at the very center of the back of the lover's room.

"Target the opponent's card in position three."

"That card returns to its owner's deck."

[Karedohat] received the order, swung his tentacles, and shattered his lover's third-position cover card.

"Choose the middle? Oh?" ​​The lover raised an eyebrow, his smile deepening.

"interesting."

The chosen card for position three was a useless card - [Pot of Greed and Humility]. This card can only be activated once per turn, and it was placed there because I wanted to be able to draw three cards with [Card of Life-Saving].

She actually drew a useless card?
Was it because he ran out of luck, or was it intentional?
The priority of timing returned to the lover, and she said coldly, "End of round."

"The end phase."

"Send the card [Drowning Bees!] to the graveyard, and its effect activates."

"Take the number of cards in your opponent's Spell & Trap Zones that you have not used from the top of your deck, choose one Trap Card from it and set it face-down on your field, then return the rest of the cards to your deck."

"You don't have a single card in your spell and trap zone, so flip five cards."

"Whoosh—" Five cards were flipped open.

[Addicted to the Bee Chaser Tribe!]

【Purgatory of Nothingness】

[Instigation and entrapment]

[The Life-Slaying Treasure Scroll]

[The allure of insects]

Upon seeing this flip of the fifth character, the lovers' expressions became intriguing. In fact, this flip of the fifth character is not important; it is not important in this timeline.

Her backcourt four blocks were [Beast's Big Bait], [DD Dynamite], [Bewitchment], and [Trilobite]. If [Karedohat] had hit [Beast's Big Bait] just now, she could only hope that [Chasing Bees] would flip it five times.

There are already two [Beast's Big Bait] cards in the graveyard. [Transaction Rewind] will be controlled by [Sword Priest] and [Deity Statue], and one [Beast's Big Bait] will be shuffled back into the deck.

If the deck has two copies of [Bewitchment], it can be used to summon [Beast's Big Bait], but it is affected by self-restraint, so you can only play one trap card afterward, and combo is not feasible.

If [Karedohat] selects [Warcraft's Big Bait] and [Chasing Bees] can't flip it out, then this game is truly lost. The opposing [Ancient Vanguard] and [Ancient Guardian] are too eager to win.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs," and the opposing team didn't pick that 20% chance of winning.

"I'll apply [Bewitching Scheme] to the field." The lover glanced at Qiqi, seemingly observing and pondering something.

[The Life-Slaying Treasure] Self-Restraint: Her last card, [The Life-Slaying Treasure], was sent to the graveyard.

The first round ended in a suffocating silence.

[Ding—] The system emitted a crisp sound, and the second round began.

Qiqi drew a card from the top of the deck with a blank expression.

Just then, the lover decisively waved his hand: "Open the face-down card—[The Great Bait of the Monster]."

A face-down card in the back row is flipped over, and a ferocious monster image flashes by.

“Select 13 additional cards from your own hand, excluding the side cards.”

"Until the end of the turn, the opponent randomly selects the same number of extra cards to banish from the face-up."

The effect of "[Monster's Great Bait]" applies, and powerful monsters such as "[Tears of Elegy Clan - Rusaka Mermaid]" and "[Flower Baroness]" are mercilessly chosen before everyone's eyes, turning into streaks of light and being banished to the banished zone.

Qiqi's extra deck has been forcibly cleared.

"Open the face-down card." The lover raised his hand and said, "[DD Explosive], inflict damage to the opponent equal to 300 times the number of cards excluded from their deck."

A red explosive charge appeared out of thin air, whistling as it flew straight toward Qiqi.

"Deal damage to the opponent equal to 300 points of the number of their banished cards!"

Twenty cards, six thousand points of damage!

Just as the explosive charge was about to hit, the plant seeds left by Qi Mengsi at Qi Qi's feet suddenly burst forth with emerald green light.

laugh--

A thick vine burst from the ground and grew wildly at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, intertwining and coiling to form a solid vine shield in front of Qiqi.

boom--!
The deafening explosion resounded throughout the entire venue.

The raging flames and shockwaves were firmly blocked by the vine shield. Smoke filled the air, and the vine shield shattered inch by inch amidst the flames. Qiqi stood in place, completely unharmed.

But her health points plummeted rapidly amidst a piercing alarm.

Blue team basic points: 4000 → 0
The lover frowned slightly, not surprised by the sudden turn of events, but still quite displeased.

【The winner is】

【Red Square】

【Duel ends】

[Next player for the blue team, please get ready.]

Upon hearing this announcement, the Red Team members breathed a sigh of relief. The victory wasn't exactly glorious, but a victory is a victory nonetheless.

In the blue team's preparation area, Tang Xin and the others showed no signs of discouragement, only unanimous cursing and booing, feeling resentful for Qi Qi.

"Ah—! Four thousand points to play with [DD explosives]!"

"Indecent behavior!"

"Playing this kind of deck, have you no shame?!"

"Hey you over there, do you dare to fight me head-on?!"
