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

Chapter 376 If the opponent is the Nameless Pharaoh, things might get a bit tricky.
A beam of light flashed, and Li Guanqi was teleported back to the red team's preparation area.

The heroes returned in triumph.

He was greeted not with cheers.

The entire preparation area was deathly silent, the air so oppressive it was hard to breathe.

Everyone looked at him with a strange and complex gaze.

The hostages they captured with their own hands, pawns they could crush at any moment, were pulled back from the brink of elimination with a single victory against two opponents.

This world has probably gone mad.

The three most twisted individuals in terms of their feelings were none other than the three confidants of the Pope: the Sun, the Devil, and the Chariot.

Deep down, they actually wanted to lose the game.

If they lose, they can use the rules of the secret realm to escape the encirclement of the Spirit Control Division. His Holiness the Pope will not have to spend a huge amount of time and effort to break through the encirclement, and they will naturally not become that cost.

The moon and the lover are no longer able to move.

Now that we've won the duel, once the secret realm dissipates, the Pope will inevitably have to use his abilities to sacrifice two of his most vigorous confidants if he wants to leave.

At that time, two of the three will become sacrifices.

Of course, for the glory of the Church, they had long since disregarded life and death, and were prepared to be martyred at any time.

As long as we can bring the secrets of Grantia out of the world, as long as we can obtain the technology for creating artificial epics and hasten the descent of the gods, all sacrifices will be worthwhile.

"Clap, clap, clap." Imi X broke the silence with a playful smile on his face.

"Young man, you've got some skills."

"Stop spouting nonsense." Chu Linfeng's voice was icy as he interrupted the hypocritical celebration.

"The secret realm can only hold out for another half hour at most. Instead of putting on an act here, we should hurry up and find something."

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't even look at the Pope. He led Lin Chen and the other two Second Hand Clowns behind him and walked straight towards the center, clearly not intending to travel with this group of people with their own ulterior motives.

The brief alliance has come to an end.

A hand suddenly clamped down on Li Guanqi's arm with such force that it almost crushed his bones.

He is the Pope's confidant - the Sun.

His facial muscles were tense, and his eyes were filled with resentment.

"Let's go, our great hero."

He forced out those words through gritted teeth, speaking in a sarcastic tone.

"Is this how you treat an MVP who's won two battles in a row? Be careful you don't incur divine retribution." Li Guanqi said some foul words, but his body was obedient as he was pushed and shoved toward the huge mechanical arena.

If nothing unexpected happens, the so-called secret lies down there.

The sun snorted coldly, too lazy to respond to his trash talk.

The demon and the chariot remained silent, carrying the heavily injured and unconscious Moon and Lover on the ground, and closely followed the Pope's steps.

"My lady," a member of the secret service reported to Binel from a short distance away, "they've gone to the arena, we—"

"Keep up," Binel said in a deep voice. "Keep a distance of fifty meters."

"Yes!"

With three of her secret agents by her side, Binaire followed like a ghost, her eyes never leaving Li Guanqi and the Pope.

Qi Mengsi told her that the bigger picture was more important.

But how could a little hero stand by and watch his comrade die!

A few minutes later, everyone arrived near the base of the central arena.

Countless thick pipes and wires intertwined and stretched into the depths of darkness, and the air was filled with the smell of rust.

Chu Linfeng and his group looked around.

Immy X curiously reached out and touched the cold metal walls, as if trying to find some kind of mechanism.

The Pope stood motionless, his deep eyes glancing back and forth across the complex surrounding structure.

"What's going on? Where's the entrance?" Immi X asked impatiently, tentatively shouting towards the center of the empty space.

"Access requested! Please grant me access!"

"Buzz—" The air vibrated.

[Access request detected, enabling Lucky Verification]

A mechanical, emotionless voice suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a smooth metal plate on the base lit up, transforming into a giant electronic screen.

The screen only showed the back of a card, with a line of cold text and three options appearing below it.

Please pay all your coins. Guess what type of card this is.

【1. Monster Cards】

【2. Spell Cards】

【3. Trap Cards】

"what?!"

Everyone was stunned when they saw this question.

Immi X's playful expression faded, and the Pope's brows furrowed slightly.

Pay all of B's ​​money?

Li Guanqi's heart skipped a beat.

This comes at a high price.

When the acetylene is depleted, the threshold will also be instantly reset to zero, which will inevitably trigger a phagocytic reaction.

For people with low affinity, Yi Na may not recover quickly and could even die on the spot.

Moreover, this is only the price to pay; the punishment for guessing wrong is not mentioned above.

"Since there are the most monster cards, the probability of choosing a monster is higher, right?" Taiyo analyzed subconsciously while looking at the screen.

"Monster cards make up the largest proportion of the deck." As someone closely connected to the deck, Li Guanqi casually added, "But the question didn't say that it was about randomly drawing a card from the deck."

"This card was put in by the question setter according to his own preference; it is an independent probability event."

With no clues in sight, this was a pure gamble.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Immy X suddenly laughed, showing the Summoning Machine and placing a card into it.

"Domain magic, [Light Barrier] activated!"

Golden light emanated from her, forming a sacred and solemn barrier that enveloped everyone.

"Witch!" The demon glared angrily upon seeing this.

"That's His Holiness the Pope's card!"

He roared and made a move to rush forward and snatch it.

"Let her use it as she pleases," the Pope's calm voice rang out, stopping the devil's impulse.

"But..." The demon stopped in his tracks, his face filled with resentment.

The Pope's gaze fell on the screen, his voice indifferent: "As long as we can get our hands on what's inside, we can have as many high-spiritual cards as we want."

"His Holiness the Pope truly understands the bigger picture." Immi X snapped his fingers, a look of appreciation on his face.

She walked to the screen, and without hesitation, stretched out her finger and tapped the second option.

"It's a magic card! Right!"

With the blessing of the near-epic-level domain card [Under the Knot of Light], her luck was boosted to the extreme.

However, no "correct" or "incorrect" message popped up on the screen.

Please insert offerings and magic cards.

The cold, mechanical voice sounded again.

Then came a heavy whirring sound of machinery turning, and below the screen, two menacing mechanical arms slowly extended, with a slot popping out from the side.

Sacrifice?

Magic Card?

Both Li Guanqi and Taiyang looked puzzled.

Sensing danger, Lin Chen took a half step back.

Immy X's eyes darted around. She thought back to the strange duel just now, and a bold guess popped into her mind.

She turned her head and her gaze fell on the Pope: "Your Holiness, may I borrow the moon?"

The Pope's gaze fell on the unconscious Moon, his deep old eyes slowly narrowing as he uttered a single word in a low voice.

"can."

"Your Majesty the Pope!"

The demon wanted to say something more, but seeing the Pope's look, he swallowed his words.

He silently helped the unconscious Moon up and handed her to Immy X.

"Let Miss Moon make one last contribution to our cause." Immy X smiled slyly and placed Moon's limp body between the two mechanical arms.

The robotic arm quickly retracted, and countless slender probes, shimmering with a faint light, extended from the arm and precisely pierced the moon's severely injured body.

When Li Guanqi saw this, his pupils suddenly contracted.

This device...

He remembered.

In that memory, Dr. Li once invented something extremely evil and terrifying.

Soul Energy Converter.

A machine that can convert the soul and life energy of living beings into pure energy.

Just as he was stunned, ImiX took out another card, [Shadowy Midrash], and steadily placed it into the card slot next to him.

Before she could even call out confirmation...

The entire access system suddenly lit up with a blinding golden light and emitted a loud buzzing sound.

The moon, held in place by the robotic arm, suddenly opened her eyes, her body convulsing violently as her nitric acid was frantically extracted, tearing and transforming her soul along with it.

"Ugh—!" A sharp, short wail escaped her throat and then stopped abruptly.

After a few breaths, the moon completely stopped moving and fell silent.

At the same time, the [Shadowy Midrash] in the card slot began to vibrate violently.

"when--!"

A crisp, loud bang.

A miniature golden halo appeared out of thin air around the card and slowly rotated.

"This is..." The demon and the sun stared in disbelief.

"Ah—!" Immy X let out an uncontrollable scream. She rushed forward excitedly, snatched the card from the slot, held it in her palm, and laughed so hard she almost fell over.

"Just as I expected! Just as I expected!"

"Hahaha! I did it! I did it!"

"awesome!"

She stared at the system screen with a manic expression, her eyes filled with obsession and greed.

You are so amazing!

"Can we do it again! Just one more time, please!"

There really is such a great thing!

There really are treasures that can quickly elevate one's spirituality!

The system's cold, mechanical voice ignored Imi X's frantic request.

[Good luck verified] [Welcome to Latia]

As soon as he finished speaking, a massive, heavy metal door in front of him emitted a muffled rumble and slowly rose upwards.

Above the door frame, a row of scarlet numbers lit up, beginning a relentless countdown.

【15】

【14】

"Tsk, what a pity." Immy X put away the magic card with slight disappointment.

The others exchanged glances, then without further hesitation, rushed toward the open crack.

"You two stay."

Without turning his head, Chu Linfeng gave orders to the two second-hand clowns behind him.

"Yes!"

The two clowns stopped and turned to be on guard.

Just before stepping through the door, the Pope turned to the demon and gave him instructions.

"You stay here and don't let the people from the Soul-Binding Division in."

They fought tooth and nail for this right of access, and they absolutely cannot let the flies of the Prison Department benefit from it.

As for Li Guanqi...

At this moment, the hostage from the Soul-Binding Division was no different from a dead person in everyone's eyes.

Winning the duel would only give him an extra hour of life.

"Yes, Your Majesty," the demon replied respectfully. "For the Council of the Order!"

The heavy metal door slammed shut after the last person entered, leaving the demon, the two clowns, and Binaire's squad outside.

Inside the door was a long, narrow passage with walls made of cold metal covered with intricate and precise golden patterns that emitted a faint glow.

High technology and darkness intertwine here, creating an eerie sense of oppression.

But this oppression could not extinguish the burning passion in everyone's hearts.

The greatest mystery of mankind will be solved by these few people today.

Their hearts pounded violently in their chests, and scalding blood rushed through their veins, urging them to quicken their pace.

At the end of the passage, the view suddenly opened up.

This is an incredibly spacious circular hall with a dome so high that its boundaries are invisible; it is an artificial starry sky.

In the center of the hall, two paths diverged.

“That…that is…” The sun suddenly noticed something, and his raised arm trembled slightly as he pointed to the fork in the road on the right.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed.

At the entrance to the road on the right, two small stone statues stand quietly, exuding an air of antiquity and vicissitude.

But the moment they looked at it, spiderweb-like cracks began to appear on the surface of the stone statue.

“Crack…Crack…”

Stone chips fell in a soft rustling sound, and the outline of the stone statue wriggled and was reshaped.

The rigid stone texture gradually softened, and the color seeped in little by little.

Finally, when the completely new appearance of the two stone statues was fully revealed to everyone, everyone was stunned.

"how come."

Li Guanqi felt a chill run from his tailbone straight to the top of his head, and the hair on his entire body stood on end.

The usually leisurely strolling Hun Tu opened its eyes for the first time, its gray pupils reflecting the two figures.

"The lost duelist." Chu Linfeng's voice was low and heavy, filled with disbelief.

"The Warrior of Destiny and—"

Everyone instinctively gripped their weapons and went into a state of high alert.

"The Nameless Pharaoh!"

Li Guanqi's mind went blank.

The two "goalkeepers" at the right fork in the road are clearly Katsuya Jonouchi and Yugi Muto!
Of course, he knew very well that these were definitely not the two simple, hot-blooded teenagers in the animation.

In his long-forgotten memories, 0748 once traveled through time and became Bakura during the Snake Life Bell.

However, that time travel only affected the people and the plot, not the underlying structure of this world.

This means that there is a higher-dimensional will that, like copy and paste, duplicates these two-dimensional characters from the work and then pastes them into the world of Biantana.

At first, He approached it with a playful attitude, but inadvertently, He gave birth to a glorious yet distorted dueling civilization.

The things God created frightened God.

"What you're looking for is right there." Edo Tensei tilted his head slightly, gesturing with his chin towards the "Warrior of Destiny."

Immy X knew that these words were directed at her.

Her gaze was fixed on the card deck at Jonouchi's waist, and her breathing became rapid.

She almost forgot about it if she hadn't been told, the epic-level [Red-Eyes Black Dragon].

That was her original purpose.

As for helping the Pope abduct people, being an enemy of the Priestess, time magic, the Granite League...

It was all an accident.

She gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and took a step forward.

"Even if you suffer another epic blow, I can't save you." The cold voice of the reanimated body came, like a bucket of ice water being poured over your head.

Immi X abruptly stopped in her tracks.

A flicker of struggle crossed her face, but it quickly turned into cunning.

She turned around, looked around at everyone, and said, "I opened the door for you."

"In a duel, you should at least put in some effort."

After he finished speaking, the scene fell into a deathly silence; no one responded.

Just kidding, those are the Pharaoh and the Warrior of Fate, whoever goes up against them dies.

Li Guanqi's gaze swept across the entire room, finally landing on a furtive figure who was quietly shrinking back.

He smirked and casually pointed, "Let this guy go, he can tank a ton of damage."

"【Ye Mudan】One blow with a stick, and nothing happens."

Everyone's eyes turned to look in the direction he was pointing.

Lin Chen, now the center of everyone's attention, stiffened.

He slowly turned his head, his eyes filled with deep disdain, and looked at Li Guanqi.

"Thank you for the recommendation."

"No need to thank me, we're all brothers."

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as mute."

"Go." Chu Linfeng gave Lin Chen no chance to explain and ordered in a cold tone.

"Me, fight the Pharaoh?" Lin Chen's face fell, and he quickly bowed and said respectfully.

"Sir, there are no guards at the fork in the road on the left, I think..."

"Just go when I tell you to." Chu Linfeng glanced at him, his impatience evident.

"The most dangerous door is the one that's left unguarded. Don't you understand that?"

"Stop your little schemes. Your mask has a high degree of integration; you won't die."

"Or perhaps..." He turned his head, his red and white clown face staring intently at Lin Chen.

"You're not happy?"

Lin Chen clenched his fist quietly at his side, then quickly released it, forcing out a smile that looked more like a grimace, and bowed his head deeply.

"Don't dare."

"I'll go right away."

He strode heavily toward the two stone statues.

As he passed by Li Guanqi, he paused and glared at him fiercely.

That look clearly said: You talk too much, kid!
Li Guanqi responded with a firm and encouraging look.

Go forth, Lin Chen Beast!

The task of defeating the Pharaoh and uncovering the truth of the world is entrusted to you!
Lin Chen ignored the guy and quickly walked to a position twenty meters away from the stone statue.

The ground trembled slightly, and Lin Chen quickly stopped and assumed a defensive stance. At the same time, Yugi Muto and Katsuya Jonouchi raised their arms, and the duel disks on their wrists unfolded with a "whoosh".

"As expected, a duel is inevitable." Lin Chen took a deep breath and resignedly opened his duel disk.

A lifeless, mechanical voice echoed throughout the hall.

【mistake】

No fourth duelist detected.

[Fourth duelist, please enter the arena promptly.]

The sudden broadcast caught everyone off guard.

Lin Chen looked bewildered. He turned around and shouted loudly to the person behind him.

"It's doubles! We need another one!"

“A doubles match, huh?” Immy X stroked his chin, looking thoughtfully at the Pope.

"Your Holiness, shouldn't you send someone from your side as well?"

The current temporary team consists of Chu Linfeng, Li Guanqi, YimiX, Edo Tensei, Pope, Sun, and Chariot.

Chu Linfeng has already sent Lin Chen.

Li Guanqi is a strategic resource and cannot be moved.

ImiX has just performed a crucial role in opening the door and is therefore exempt from liability.

The Impure Earth is a great god, and no one can move it.

All that was left were the Pope and his two close associates.

The Pope turned his gaze to the chariot beside him, his voice calm: "Can we win?"

The chariot stared at the legendary figure ahead and replied in a deep voice, "If the opponent is the Nameless Pharaoh, it might be a bit tricky."

"However, I have faith in my Paladin!"

His voice was filled with fervent loyalty and confidence.

"Go ahead," the Pope commanded in a deep voice.

"For the glory of the Order of the Fathers."

"Yes!"

The chariot bowed and accepted the order without hesitation.

He carefully placed his unconscious lover, whom he had been supporting, on the ground, then resolutely turned around and strode towards the two stone statues.

The duel has not yet begun.

But Li Guanqi looked at his incredibly determined, somewhat tragic back view.

A thought inexplicably popped into my mind.

He is going to die.
