Chapter 375 The League Ends
"Activate the effect of [Water Dance of the Witch]!" Li Guanqi resolutely raised his hand.

"Special Summon 1 'Witchcraft' monster from your hand or Deck, then equip this card to that monster. After that, the monster equipped to this card returns to your hand!"

Bai Shu took a deep breath and shouted to follow up: "Pay half of the basic points and open the card!"

"[The Horrorphin Dragon's Brutal Cruelty]!"

"Destroy 1 'Dreadnought' monster you control and 1 card your opponent controls!"

The card is flipped over, and the power of the trap explodes.

The enormous mechanical dinosaur queen let out a mournful cry, and her crimson scythe and the crystalline mist were torn apart by the violent energy, shattering into pieces amidst the flying metal fragments.

Blue team's base score: 1000 → 500
The Water Dance of the Witch was disrupted, but Bai Shu's complexion did not improve.

He stared intently at Li Guanqi, as if he were watching a cunning and treacherous demon.

"Activate the effect of destroying [Spiked Dragon Queen] to Special Summon [Therizinosaurus] from the Graveyard!" He waved his hand sharply.

A flash of light appeared in the graveyard, and the dinosaur girl wielding two scythes returned to the field.

"Activate the effect of [Scythe Dragon] to set [Dreadnought Alert] from the Deck to the field."

The battery life is improved, but the cost of Atractylodes macrocephala is still uncertain.

Without him.

[Yu Wu] is truly a strict father figure.

The core of [Fear Peptide], [Raging Tyrannosaurus Rex], can block the effects of monsters on the field whose attack power is higher than its life points. Normally, this would prevent the opponent's monsters with an attack power of 500 or more from activating their effects.

But the problem is——

[Witch Doctor] The whole family has 0 attack power!
What's even more incredible is that while [Yuwu] might have to take two or three hits to attack others, [Kongfengtai] is a master of self-harm; without its own counterattack trap, it will die with just one hit.

“And there’s [Cruelty].” Li Guanqi nodded slightly and flipped over a card from his hand.

"Display the [Great Sun Maiden's Witchcraft], effect activated."

"Add [Sword of the Witch] to your hand from your deck, then discard [Great Sun Maiden of the Witch].

After arranging the cards, he decisively took a picture of one of them.

"Quick-attack magic! [The Grand Priest of the Legacy]!"

Special Summon 1 "Witchcraft" monster from your hand, ignoring its Summoning conditions.

"Show up!"

He pushed his palm forward, and a vortex of flames appeared out of thin air on the field.

"【Sword Master Poli】!"

Amidst the flames, a girl dressed in a red and white shrine maiden's outfit appeared gracefully, wielding a long sword and moving with sacred steps. The tip of the sword sliced through the air, leaving behind a trail of scorching light.

“【Polly】, you don’t have any equipment.” Bai Shu said while keeping an eye on Li Guanqi’s last card.

If the card in your hand is an equipment card, that would actually be a good thing.

He glanced discreetly at his last card—[Magical Gunner Daruma Karma].

This trap can turn monsters on the field face down, not only breaking the equipment of [Witch Doctor], but also changing the defense of your own monsters.

The monsters of the [Fear-Energy Peptide] family have all defense stats of 0, so they can't be targeted by attacks, have a chain of last words, and are not afraid of multiple attacks.

Li Guanqi chuckled and pointed to the graveyard: "Except for the [Great Priest of Legacy] in the graveyard, activate its effect!"

"Send 1 'Mage' card from your Deck to the Graveyard, except for one of your own. I send 'Mage-Summoning Song' to the Graveyard!"

"Give this as a gift?" Bai Shu frowned.

In the first match between [Yuwu] and [Tenbeilong], [Zanagi] did not demonstrate any graveyard effects.

"When [御巫奉佐那技] is sent to the cemetery, her effect is activated," Li Guanqi said in a deep voice.

"Target [Polly] on the field, equip this card as an Equip Spell Card to that monster!"

A phantom image of a priestess rose from the graveyard, transforming into a soft ray of light that coiled around [Bolly]'s sword.

"Tsk." Bai Shu clicked her tongue lightly, "It has this kind of effect."

[Witchcraft] Once you gather the right people and equipment, you can activate its true effect.

“Activate the effect of [Poly]!” Li Guanqi raised his hand, “Add [The Witch's Lullaby] from the deck to my hand.”

When Bai Shu saw the card, his eye twitched as if he felt nauseous.

"Activate the equipment spell, [The Witch's Temptation Dance]!" Li Guanqi quickly slapped down the card.

"Equip the [Raging Tyrannosaurus Rex] on your opponent's field and gain control of the equipped monster!"

The magical card's light effect illuminated, and [Polly]'s figure became ethereal. She danced a seductive dance, and invisible threads wrapped around the ferocious mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"Wow—there's a cow!" Hong Zhong frowned, the pure-hearted warrior couldn't stand this.

Tang Xin muttered under her breath, "How could a mechanical dinosaur be seduced by a witch's dance?"

On the dueling platform, Bai Shu raised his finger several times, as if to press the card-down button, but then slowly removed it.

No, you can't send it yet.

Now, you can interrupt the enticement by playing [Magic Cannon Fighter Daruma Karma], but if the opponent has [Fire Dance] in their last hand, you can still forcibly revive their monster for a knockout kill.

To be on the safe side, we should wait until the battle begins.

After much deliberation, Bai Zhu reluctantly cancelled the chain.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, the ferocious [Raging Tyrannosaurus Rex] let out a joyful roar, its massive body taking strides as it hopped over to the priestess's side, becoming her plaything.

"The last card, you held it so firmly?" Li Guanqi looked at Bai Shu, raising his eyebrows slightly.

"It can't be unstable," Bai Shu said sarcastically.

"If I happen to run into Lord [Yu Wu], I should probably back off a bit."

"Really?" Li Guanqi smiled slyly. "Then let's try this!"

"I will set connection markers for [Raging Tyrannosaurus Rex] and [Polly]!"

"Loop Union!"

Two red arrows suddenly lit up in the left and right directions, pointing to opposite ends of the field.

“This arrow is…” Bai Shu’s pupils suddenly contracted.

This arrow is all too familiar to the agents of the Soul Reaper Division, and [Raging Tyrannosaurus Rex] even used a fusion monster as a link material.

"Connect and summon!" Li Guanqi shouted.

"Show yourself! Link2, [S:P Saya]!"

In the blink of an eye, a ninja girl dressed in a black, tight-fitting combat suit and wearing a mask appeared. She held a kunai in her hand, her movements were agile, and her eyes were sharp.

"Activate the effect of [Night]!" Li Guanqi pointed forward.

"Target the opponent's face-down card, and exclude that card!"

Xiaoye's figure flashed, turning into a blur, the kunai in her hand pointing directly at Baishu's last hope.

Bai Shu's heart skipped a beat, and he seized the opportunity to activate the locked face-down card: "Trap activated! [Magic Cannon Fighter Daruma Karma]!"

"Change all monsters on the field to face-down defense position!"

"After that..."

Before he could finish reading the effect, Li Guanqi decisively waved his hand.

"Chain activation of [Saya]'s effect: Target [Scythe Dragon] on your opponent's field and [Saya] on your own field, banish those cards until the end of the turn!"

With a whoosh, a chain reaction occurred in a flash.

Just before being bombarded by the Magic Cannon Fighter, Xiaoye turned around, grabbed the hand of the Reaper Dragon opposite her, and put her arm around its waist. Amidst the Reaper Dragon's astonishment and embarrassment, they disappeared together into the dimensional rift.

Immediately afterwards, the cannon of the [Magic Cannon Fighter] emitted light, and another [Scythe Dragon] on the field was flipped over, turning into a face-down defense position card.

The chain reaction has been completed.

The entire audience held their breath, their eyes glued to the dueling platform.

The situation on the field was very simple and clear. Li Guanqi only had one card left in his hand. Bai Shu had a [Scythe Dragon] face-down in the front row with 0 defense and a chain of last words. He also had an [Alarm] face-down in the back row with sustain.

This long team competition is about to come to an end.

If Li Guanqi has the card "Fire Dance" or "Witch God Dance - Er Guizi" that can search for "Fire Dance", then he can Special Summon and revive the opponent's monster, advance to the Battle Phase to "bait" the opponent, and the red side wins.

If not, then the blue team will probably win.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Bai Shu pinged Li Guanqi one last time. The card was cleared, and there was no point in continuing the act.

Having come this far, the question remains: will we win or lose?

What kind of future awaits the people here?

It was all decided by Li Guanqi.

What do I want to do?
Li Guanqi pondered in silence, then slowly raised his hand and slapped down his last card.

"Activate the Spell Card, [Foolish Burial].

"Send 1 Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to the Graveyard."

Bai Shu was taken aback.

In the Red Team's preparation area, the Pope and others were quite surprised.

This card wasn't swapped out from the sideboard; it was already in the [Cursed Eye] deck and can be used to send [Medusa's Cursed Eye] to the graveyard to help with the combo.

Can the [Witch Doctor] skill be used? What should I send?
Immy X even whistled in appreciation.

Soon, on the dueling platform, Li Guanqi made a move: "I will send [Witch Dance - Bewildering Bird] to the graveyard."

“【Witch Dance - Bewitching Bird】…” Bai Shu muttered the name of the card, recalling the situation in the opponent's graveyard, his eyes slowly widening.

"Is this so?"

He seemed to have all his strength drained away, and his arm holding the duel disk slowly fell to his sides.

Below the stage, Xia Sheng, his face expressionless, let out a sigh. "It's over."

"If I were to play in this match..."

He said softly, “Playing sacred music by myself, I won’t lose.”

During the standoff and discussion, he strongly recommended himself, saying that [Self-Playing Sacred Music] would get the first attack, the final stage would be three-dimensional, and there would be many resistance segments. The opponent did not have [Proliferation G] and [Joyful Gathering], so this was basically a sure win.

However, no matter what he said, it was rejected.

Those who are not members of the Bureau of Spirit Control have no say.

In a normal game, he would still have a chance to play, but this is a stalemate game with no room for error, and they don't want to put all their hopes on outsiders.

In fact, the [fear-inducing peptide] deserves to win if it strikes first.

The opponent doesn't have Ash Blossom, and the White Mage's starting hand is Scythe Dragon, Frenzy, Cruelty, Divine Announcement, and Magical Cannon Daruma Karma. Normally, dealing with Cursed Eye is enough to win the game.

But who could have imagined that the opposing team would switch their backup plan and change their main strategy?

Moreover, it happens to be the natural counter to [Fear Peptide] [Witchcraft].

Is this really just a coincidence?

There have been far too many coincidences since Li Guanqi took the stage.

Xia Sheng turned his head, his gaze sweeping over Qi Mengsi beside him before landing on Qi Qi, who had a blank expression.

He really wanted to ask something.

But the words were on the tip of his tongue, and he swallowed them back.

Qi Mengsi ignored his movements. She took out a special piece of chewing gum from the supercomputing ring, skillfully unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth.

The cool minty flavor spread in her mouth, and her consciousness connected with Binael in the red zone through neural programs.

"We're about to be laid off, can you keep track of things?"

Soon, the confident echo of Binel resonated in his mind.

"no problem!"

"We'll keep watch outside. Don't get into any trouble with them. Once the secret realm dissipates, we'll attack together. The Pope won't be able to escape."

"it is good!"

Binel replied quickly, but then her voice became hesitant.

"Then...what about the hostages?"

Rescuing hostages is something that inevitably involves conflict.

"Save them if there's a chance," Qi Mengsi said calmly.

"If there's no opportunity to act, prioritize the overall situation."

"Uh-huh," Binel replied listlessly.

Qi Mengsi cut off the telepathic communication, raised her head, and looked over the silent audience to land on Li Guanqi on the dueling platform.

To this day, she still doesn't understand why the Pope went to such lengths to capture him.

Li Guanqi seemed to sense something and paused in his actions.

He subconsciously turned his head, his gaze sweeping around as if searching for something, like a hesitant chess piece looking for its player.

Nothing at all.

【Ding--】

【8】

【7】

The countdown timer popped up in the duel system, pulling Li Guanqi back to reality. He then looked away and focused his attention back on the duel.

"Activate the effect of [Misaka Dance - Bewitching Bird] in your Graveyard." "Special Summon [Misaka Hōzanagi] from your Graveyard and equip it with this card."

A priestess wearing a purple gradient skirt embroidered with golden divine bird totems appeared quietly. She was barefoot and had a solemn expression.

"Activate the effect of [Mijira-Hōzanagi] to Special Summon [Jewel-no-Mijira-no-Koguri] from the Deck."

He operated the controls smoothly, but his thoughts became increasingly chaotic, and a strong sense of unease gripped his heart.

what's going on.

These two duels were truly bizarre.

In the match against [Sky Slash], his team had amazing draws, while the opponent had a series of terrible draws.

In the second round, he changed his strategy and ended up facing his ideal opponent.

Of course, he couldn't have known in advance that his opponent would play [Fear-Energy Peptide]. He simply felt that [Witchcraft]'s ability to attack later was much stronger than [Cursed Eye]'s, and its deck structure wasn't as large as [Starry Sky]. Fifteen sideboard cards were enough to replace it, and a versatile card like [Foolish Secondary Burial] could also fill the graveyard for [Witchcraft].

However, the ability of the [Witch] to attack later is only relatively stronger. When facing a burst of attacks with more cards than him, he will still lose.

As a result, the other side ran right into the trap and chose [Fear-Relative Peptide].

Is this how you serve food? Are you feeding it to its mouth? What card deck isn't included?
He always felt that some unseen will was arranging everything perfectly, carrying him step by step toward victory.

"Activate the effect of [Zanagi]." Li Guanqi thought to himself as he continued operating.

Return the [Witch Dance - Bewitching Bird] from the field to your hand.

"I stacked the level 3 [Mijifusa Nagi] and [Tama no Mijifukori] on top of each other."

"Xyz Summon".

"Tier 3, [Noble Lady's Priestess]!"

The energies of water and fire intertwine, and the figures of the two priestesses merge into one in the swirling light. One is a priestess in a blue dress holding a water mirror, and the other is a priestess in a red dress gripping a flaming sword. Together, they construct a new form.

If 【Noble Lady of the Sun】is Special Summoned, add 【The Witch's Fire Dance】from your Deck to your hand.

Li Guanqi drew the card from the deck, but then stopped again.

The subsequent finishing move was something everyone present understood.

【Fire Dance】Special Summon 1 【Witchcraft】from your Graveyard and revive 1 monster on the opponent's field as a target.

【Fear Peptide】After selling off all your blood points, you can kill someone with a single touch.

The red team won the final victory.

He successfully killed two people with the [Cursed Eye], and with this "pledge of allegiance", he safely returned to the Papal Council to continue his undercover work.

If there really is a 'script', and if he is really in that script.

Using the "Fire Dance" skill to kill the enemy is what happens in the later 'plot', right?

Right.

Is there really a script?

Li Guanqi held the [Fire Dance of the Witch] card in his hand, a smile suddenly appearing on his lips, tinged with self-mockery.

If he loses this duel, the impact of the fight alone will take half his life, not to mention what he will encounter when he returns to the Papal Court.

That would be a certain death.

But if you activate this [Fire Dance] card.

like……

And so it went along with what they called "fate".

Does fate really exist?

He couldn't help but recall the way he walked to school when he was a child.

He never understood why I had to go to school.
He found it very strange.

Even though he was unwilling, no one was pushing him forward.

But why, why can't I stop walking towards school?

Yes, why is that?

Why do we have to do this?

The cold countdown of the duel system rang in his ears, and the bright red numbers [8] and [7] jumped in front of his eyes.

He looked down at the [Fire Dance of the Witch] in his hand.

At this moment, no one forced him to start the machine.

If he doesn't express it, he can nonchalantly shout "Surprise!" at the all-powerful "fate"!

The people on both sides in the audience must be quite surprised.

It's a very satisfying thing to surprise everyone and even fate.

Li Guanqi firmly believes that if he doesn't perform the "Fire Dance" and instead just shrugs off and enjoys the astonished expressions of the audience, he will feel incredibly good, absolutely thrilled.

He would feel that he is in control of his own destiny.

However, the price is—

His life.

When he was a child, he knew it would be great to skip school and give his life a surprise, but he never stopped going to school; his feet seemed to have lost control.

Like now.

His hand, as if out of control, slowly slapped the card down: "Activate equipment spell, [Witch's Fire Dance]."

Li Guanqi's voice was very soft, so soft that it seemed to be swallowed up by the silence of the venue.

Special Summon [Sword Master Pore] from the Graveyard, and Equip this card.

"After that, Special Summon [Spiked Dragon Queen] from the opponent's Graveyard to their field while negating its effects."

A vortex of flames lit up the graveyard area, and the fire witch, wielding a longsword, gracefully rose from the dead with a sacred dance.

On the opposite side, the Mechanical Dinosaur Queen was forcibly pulled back with a roar, her ferocious metal body becoming a perfect target.

The most terrifying thing about fate is that...

You saw your own fate.

You can escape too.

There's no escaping it.

"Battle phase," Li Guanqi announced.

This should have been an exhilarating moment of victory, but there was no joy on his face.

"【Noble Sun Maiden's Witchcraft】, attack 【Nail Dragon Queen】."

The witch, a being of both water and fire, raised her weapon and charged towards the mechanical dinosaur queen, whose attack power reached 4000.

Her own attack power is 0.

Suicide attack.

"Boom—!" The [Nail Dragon Queen] waved her hand, repelling the [Noble Sun Maiden's Priestess].

The shockwave exploded on [Noble Lady of the Sun], but she was not shattered as a result.

The violent damaging energy was absorbed by the Water Mirror and transformed by the Flame Sword. The two priestesses, one ethereal and one real, turned around and directed this power towards Bai Shu.

"【Noble Day - Female Priestess】Battle damage inflicted on oneself is taken by the opponent." Li Guanqi's voice was calm as still water.

The sword, burning with raging flames, slashed down at Bai Shu.

Bai Zhu was already mentally prepared. She stood still and watched Li Guanqi quietly. The seeds under her feet sprouted quickly, and tender green vines broke through the soil, forming a green barrier around her.

Amidst the crisp sound of sprouting, Li Guanqi unusually sent a signal to Bai Zhu: "What exactly am I?"

Do I have my own destiny?

Bai Shu looked at him and sighed softly, replying, "How tragic, Li Guanqi."

Boom——!
The flaming greatsword shattered the vine barrier, and the violent explosion completely engulfed the white atractylodes.

Blue side's base score: 500 → 0
【The winner is】

【Red Square】

【Duel ends】

Congratulations to the red team for their victory!

As the cold, electronic voice faded, the enormous mechanical sun above the dueling arena suddenly blazed on, casting a blinding beam of light.

The beam of light enveloped the entire blue area.

Xia Sheng, Qi Mengsi, Tang Xin, Chu Chan, and a group of unwilling members of the Dark Guard...

Amidst all sorts of wailing and howling.

Under the light, everyone's bodies became transparent, eventually turning into countless tiny streams of light that dissipated into the air.

In the duel arena, Bai Shu was teleported away, leaving Li Guanqi alone.

He looked up at the sun high in the sky and remained silent for a long time.

Outside the Gulatya Secret Realm.

"Crash-"

The cacophony of rain rushed into the ears of everyone in the Soul-Binding Division.

"Boom—!" A clap of thunder rang out.

Qi Mengsi swayed, not bothering to wipe the rain off her face, and hurriedly tried to call out to Binaier in her mind.

"Binail, can you hear me?"

"Binair, Binair"

No matter how she called out, she could never hear Binaire's echo in her mind.

In her anxiety, she entered the group of those who were being persecuted and directly tagged Wang Shou to ask questions.

"Is this really okay?"

"Will Bina be alright?"

During the duel just now, Wang Shou told her in the group chat that if Xia Sheng were to participate, the blue team would win, the red team would be eliminated from the secret realm, and the subsequent developments would be—

Binaire's squad pursued the Pope and the Puppet Master alone.

At last.

In an attempt to save the hostages, Binaire impulsively rushed forward and died at the hands of the Pope.

That's why she was temporarily replaced by Bai Shu.

If you can't catch someone the first time, you'll try again; if someone dies, they're really dead.

The Purger 9 group.

Blank: "It's alright, the red team won. Bina knows we're providing support outside, so she won't act impulsively."

Rose: "Is it alright if the secret of spiritual transformation falls into Zhong's hands?"

Blank: "If there really is something that can draw human saccharin into magic cards, then there's no need for an extra duel process; we can just draw it directly."

Mahjong: "What do you mean?"

Blank: "That thing is not under human control; it can think."

Even if they knew, they couldn't control it.

The swordsman pondered: "It is not controlled by humans and can think."

Rose: "And the Pope? In the next glimpse, did you see them?"

Blank: "There are two scenes. In one scene, the Pope is dead."

Hearing this, the purgatory workers breathed a sigh of relief.

After chasing the Pope for so long, we finally got rid of that old fox.

Rabbit: "What about another scene?"

Qi Mengsi took a deep breath, thankful that Binaier was alright.

A cool, clear voice echoed in her mind.

Blank: "In another scene."
