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

Chapter 377 1P3P Basic Points: 417600
Li Guanqi glanced at Imi X and Edo, then looked at the two familiar yet unfamiliar stone statues, muttering to himself.

"Duel Fairy Tale is really a realistic novel."

In the Biantana Bible, in the chapter "The Duel of the Faceless God," the stone pharaoh is summoned by the 'puppet master' and the 'stone man'.

Right now, the Edo Tensei stone golem is here.

The puppeteer, Imi X, is also available.

The stone pharaoh also made an appearance.

We have everything.

They're going to be gone.

Li Guanqi remained expressionless and took a half-step back with seriousness.

We need to stay away.

Scared.

According to the "Duel Fairy Tale," the stone pharaohs fought each other.

They even attacked the audience!
……

The chariot stepped into the duel testing area of ​​the arena.

The ground beneath his feet lit up with red light, scanning his entire body. The red light from the intelligent referee system high above his head then went out, replaced by a crisp tinkling sound. Invisible dice were being shaken wildly above the dome.

[Both players please confirm their decks]

[Assigning duel rounds...]

"Don't hold me back." The chariot said coldly to Lin Chen, who was not far away, without turning its head.

"I'll bring plenty of hand traps, you bring more removal cards."

Doubles duels have clearly defined positions. Generally speaking, players number 3 and 4, who are in the second position, need to carry hand traps to disrupt the first player's moves.

Players 1 and 2, who have the first move, should bring more removal cards, because even if they bring hand traps, they basically won't have a chance to play them.

"You don't need to tell me." Lin Chen stared intently at the stone pharaoh statue opposite him, revealing a ruthless determination.

"You'd better take care of your own life first."

Judging from its appearance, the stone pharaoh in front of us does not have any seal markings, and according to the description in "Duel Fairy Tale", it is in the 'first stage'.

The Pharaoh in Phase One used a deck based on the Dark Magician archetype, along with ancient and powerful general-purpose cards like Angel's Charity. The deck lacked fancy cards like Synchro, Xyz, Pendulum, and Link.

As for the other Fate Warrior, its build is still unknown.

Although the probability of winning is still very low, the good thing is that it's not the second phase, so there's still a possibility of winning through a normal duel.

The chariot snorted coldly, said no more, quickly adjusted its deck, and steadily placed it into the slot of the Duel Disk.

The ringing of bells high in the sky gradually stopped, and the emotionless, mechanical announcements echoed throughout the hall.

Above the chariot and Lin Chen's head, the dark blue markings of [4P] and [2P] appeared one after another.

At the same time, within the Stone City opposite and above the head of the Stone Pharaoh, the scarlet markers for [1P] and [3P] lit up.

[Duel rounds have been assigned]

[1P and 4P duelists, please proceed to the designated area.]

【The duel begins】

Lin Chen and the stone statue pharaoh retreated simultaneously, leaving the central area to the two who attacked first.

The tank reached its designated position, its four menacing mechanical tentacles extending from its back flailing restlessly, and its red-glowing electronic eyes met the vibrant face within the city.

"duel!"

"duel!"

Both sides shouted at the same time and drew their first five cards from their decks.

The tank looked at its starting move and a cold smile crept across its lips.

His deck is a specialized build, containing a large number of hand traps.

At this moment, he had three hand traps in his starting hand: [Effect Vanisher], [Primal Lifeform Nibiru], and [Joyful Companion - Fluffy Longtail Tit].

If we can use these cards to stop the opponent's 1P's development, then next turn, that kid named Lin Chen should be able to kill the opponent's 8000 health points.

"I get to attack first! Draw a card!" Jonouchi suddenly shouted, startling Lin Chen, who was in the chariot and the preparation area.

【Error declaration】

The first player to attack cannot draw cards.

The cold, mechanical voice ruthlessly corrected his mistake.

"Huh? There's such a rule?" Jonouchi paused for a moment, scratched his head, and looked at the stone pharaoh statue behind him, seeking an explanation.

The stone pharaoh stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "It seems we have been asleep for a long time."

Upon hearing this explanation, Jonouchi immediately reverted to his carefree demeanor, flashing a bright smile.

"Hmph, forget it!"

"I will summon this monster from my hand!"

He slammed a card onto the duel disk, and a blinding white light shot into the sky.

"Come forth! [The Folding Paper God]!"

As the light faded, a tiny angel appeared on the field, holding scales and a short sword, with a smile on her face, surrounded by a miniature golden halo.

"An epic-level [Folding Paper God]?!" Zhan Che and Lin Chen exclaimed simultaneously.

The onlookers were also watching with bated breath, and Yimi X couldn't help but marvel.

"Epic stories are everywhere."

A highly spiritual [Folding Paper God] is already intimidating; if the effect of an epic [Folding Paper God] can be successfully obtained, what difference is there between that and winning the duel directly?
The Pope, standing in the distance, stared intently at the small figure, his deep old eyes filled with undisguised longing.

"Activate the effect of [Folding Paper God]!" Jonouchi waved his hand, and the golden halo around [Paper God] suddenly expanded outward.

"I will flip a coin continuously until it lands face-down. Every two times it lands face-up, I can draw one card from my deck!"

If it were just a regular "Folding Paper God", perhaps no one would take it seriously.

Even the Pope's highly spiritual "paper god" could land six or seven heads.

I can't even imagine how many times this epic monster with its halo will roll.

"Stop him!"

In the preparation area, Lin Chen could no longer remain calm and shouted excitedly.

"Chain activation! [Effect Veiler] in my hand!" A mechanical tentacle of the chariot shot out like lightning, throwing a card from my hand into the graveyard.

"Negate the effect of [Folding Paper God] on the opponent's field!"

A petite, ethereal magician descended from the sky and gently touched the forehead of the [Folding Paper God].

The golden halo dimmed instantly, and the body of the [Folding Paper God] slumped down, its bright smile turning into a pitiful expression.

"【Effect Vanisher】?" Jonouchi stared at the fleeting afterimage, his face full of confusion. "A Tuner Monster?"

"They can actually use the monsters they have to disrupt tactics?!"

The stone pharaoh statue behind him suddenly sharpened its previously calm gaze.

"Be careful, inside the city."

"This opponent is very strong."

"That's perfect!" Jonouchi's face blazed with fighting spirit, and his eyes became incredibly serious.

He suddenly pulled out a second card and slammed it onto the duel disk.

"Discard the card 'Legendary Black Stone' from your hand, activate the Spell Card, 'One-on-One'!"

"Special Summon a Level 1 monster from my Deck!"

"Chain activation!" The chariot discarded another card, its voice echoing throughout the arena.

"【Joyful Gathering with Friends - Fluffy Long-tailed Tit】!"

"This turn, whenever my opponent Special Summons a monster from their Deck or Extra Deck, I draw 1 card."

Jonouchi's fighting spirit faltered, and he looked at the chariot in surprise: "A card I've never seen before, a strange duelist."

The tits flew around, chirping incessantly and making annoying noises.

Soon, Jonouchi composed himself, inserted a card into the duel disk with a graceful and unrestrained movement.

"The effect of one-on-one therapy!"

Special Summon: [The Folding Paper God]!

Another white light flashed, and another little angel hopped and skipped onto the field.

"Using the [Tiger] effect, draw a card."

A mechanical tentacle emerged from behind the chariot, drawing a card from the top of the deck, its expression grim.

I didn't draw a second card that could negate the opponent's monster effects.

Fortunately, this second [Folding Paper God] did not have a golden halo; it was merely a highly spiritual monster.

"Activate the effect of [Folding Paper God]!" Jonouchi raised his arm again, pointing at the newly appeared monster.

"Flip the coin continuously until it lands face-down! Every two times it lands face-up, I can draw one card from my deck!"

[Paper God] received the command and swung his short sword. A faint light surged from his body, and a phantom coin was forcefully thrown into the air.

Lin Chen, standing in the tank and the preparation area, unconsciously followed the coin upwards, even holding his breath involuntarily.

【Jingle Bell--】

A crisp clanging sound echoed through the hall.

The coin tumbled in the air, projecting the front view, and then continued spinning without stopping, propelled by an unseen force.

One after another, frontal phantoms appeared in the air, layer upon layer, their crisp sounds mingling together, so dense that it made one forget to breathe.

【front】

【front】

【front】

……

After an unknown amount of time, the wildly spinning coin finally ran out of energy and shakily flipped over to its last side.

【Reverse side】

The coin's phantom image vanished into thin air.

The dueling arena was deathly silent.

Lin Chen and the chariot were completely dumbfounded, standing there in a daze.

"Twelve heads...one tail..."

The chariot's lips were trembling.

"This luck... is even stronger than His Holiness the Pope's..."

Li Guanqi, watching from afar, couldn't help but mutter in admiration, "He's got real skill; no wonder he's a gambling monster." "Based on the effect, I—draw six cards!" Jonouchi let out a hearty laugh, boldly drawing a thick stack of cards from his deck.

"It's not over yet!"

"At this very moment, activate the effect of [Folding Paper God]!"

The two paper-cut little gods on the field simultaneously let out sharp roars.

"Every time a coin is flipped heads, this card's attack power is doubled!"

The two "Paper Gods" became incredibly agitated, dancing and gesturing excitedly on the field, celebrating this stroke of luck.

In the end, the paper god with the epic aura suddenly went limp due to the effect of [Effect Veiler], as if all its strength had been drained, and it withered away.

The other one, meanwhile, rapidly expanded in size amidst the frenzied energy, its aura steadily increased, and its combat power surged at an unbelievable rate.

【Folding Paper God】Attack Power: 100 → 409600!

Looking at the enormous figure that seemed to reach the dome, Lin Chen's face turned pale instantly.

The tank's four mechanical tentacles froze in mid-air, its flashing electronic eyes fixed on the astronomical number: "409,000."

"I'm going to go all out!" Jonouchi's eyes sharpened, his fighting spirit soaring. He drew a card from his hand and held it high.

"Activate the Spell Card, [Ruby Treasure Card]!"

"Discard the [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] from your hand, draw two cards from your deck! Then, send the [Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon] from your deck to the graveyard!"

"Activate the effect of [Legendary Black Stone] in the Graveyard! Return [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] from the Graveyard to the Deck, and add this card to my hand!"

"It's not over yet!"

"Activate the Spell Card, [Angel's Charity]! Draw three cards, then send two cards from your hand to the Graveyard!"

With his fluid maneuvers, the [Black Stone of Wei's Words] that had just been added to his hand and a [Metalized Reflective Armor] flashed by and entered the graveyard.

The chariot stared at the ten cards in the city's hand, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed hard.

"Cover a card." Jonouchi inserts a card into the back row.

Just as a sliver of hope arose in the hearts of Zhan Che and Lin Chen that "he's about to be finished,"

Suddenly, a card was turned over inside the city.

"Send this face-down card to the Graveyard, activate the effect of [Red-Eyes Steel Claw Dragon] in my hand, and Special Summon this card!"

The Duel Disk blazed with light as a ferocious black dragon, covered in jet-black armor and with claws gleaming with metallic light, roared as it descended, whipping up a fierce gust of wind.

"Activate the effect of [Red-Eyes Steel Claw Dragon] to add [Metalize & Reflect Armor] from the Deck to your hand!"

Without stopping, the city then revealed another card.

"Reveal the [Red-Eyes Black Steel Dragon] in your hand and activate its effect!"

"I put one [Metallic Steel Armor] face down on the field from my deck, and then return this card from my hand to the deck."

"Next, I send [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] from my Deck to the Graveyard, activate the effect of [Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon] in my hand, Special Summon this card, and then its Level increases by 1!"

Another black dragon, slightly smaller in size, appeared on the field and roared to the sky.

"Overlay another card!"

Jōnei stamped another card.

Tank's heart was in his throat. He stared intently at the enemy's backcourt, praying that this time it was truly over.

However, Jonouchi resolutely opened the card that had just been stamped.

"Activate Trap Card! [Metalization - Enhanced Reflective Armor]!"

"With a [Red-Eyes Steel Claw Dragon] on the field, the [Metalize] Trap Card can activate even during its set turn!"

"Release my [Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon] from my field to Special Summon it from my Deck—!"

He raised his fist high and roared with all his might.

"bring it on!"

"The jet-black steel dragon, bearing an indomitable fighting spirit, descend now!"

"【Red-Eyes Black Steel Dragon】!"

A massive, even larger and heavier steel dragon than the Red-Eyes Steel Claw Dragon crashed to the ground, its dark red eyes burning with flames of annihilation, the sheer oppressive aura causing the entire hall to hum.

The subsequent equipment effects did not activate, and the grid was cleared.

The tank's brow furrowed as a mechanical arm swung violently behind it.

"Borrowing... I'll draw another card thanks to the effect of [Joyful Gathering with Friends - Fluffy Long-tailed Tit]!"

His pupils contracted sharply when he saw the card he had drawn.

【The Clown and the Locked Bird】.

"Damn it! I'm too late."

He cursed under his breath, clutching the card, which was useless at the moment, tightly in his hand.

Upon seeing this, the man inside the castle grinned.

"Looks like you drew some bad cards. You're really someone who has no connection with cards."

The chariot clenched its fists and gritted its teeth, but couldn't utter a single curse.

I wouldn't dare, I absolutely wouldn't dare to swear.

There was a [Folding Paper God] with an attack power of over 400,000 standing on the opposite side. He really didn't dare to provoke the opponent easily. If a [Catapult Turtle] came and hit him with a shot that dealt 200,000 damage, it would be really scary.

But in the next second, the enormous paper god, which looked like a demon, suddenly turned into specks of light and disappeared into thin air.

"What?" The tank was suddenly stunned.

"I'll use [Folding Paper God] as a tribute to activate the Spell Card—" Jonouchi slammed a card heavily onto the Duel Disk, a triumphant smile on his face.

"【The Mysterious Chinese Hot Pot】!"

"Choose the attack power of the monster to be sacrificed, and your Life Points will recover by that amount!"

Lin Chen and the chariot both gasped, their faces draining of all color.

The dissipated paper god's soul gathered in the sky into a warm sphere of light, which then bestowed a vast blessing of life, pouring into the city and the stone pharaoh's body.

The numbers representing their life points above their heads began to spike at a frantic, desperate rate.

[Basic Points for 1P/3P]: 8000 → 417600
"417,600 base points?!"

Lin Chen's voice was trembling, and he was about to faint on the spot.

"Oh no, we're doomed." Li Guanqi shook his head, unable to bear watching any longer.

Although in the world of Duel Monsters, Life Points are indeed the least important resource.

But 410,000 is still very useful.

This amount of health is enough for them to skip more than ten rounds, slowly accumulating cards in their hand and assembling any combination they want to turn the tide.

Don't mention monsters like "Psychic Executioner," "Life Excitement Stream," or "Time Machine God" that can ignore the basic score.

Without any prior intelligence, decks quickly started including these cards.

The Cursed Eye can be attacked, but a demon is guarding the gate.

Suddenly encountering a health bar of 410,000 in the first round, what's the difference between that and an insurmountable barrier?
"Cover four cards, end turn."

"I am," Jonouchi said in a deep voice. Behind him, five face-down cards exuded a dangerous aura.

"Before the end of the main phase!"

The chariot suddenly raised its voice and fiercely displayed a card in its hand: "Activate the effect of the card [Primal Life Form Nibiru]!"

"Tribute all face-up monsters on the field, then Special Summon this card from your hand! After that, Special Summon 1 'Primal Life Form Token' to your opponent's field!"

"Boom—!" The artificial starry sky above the dome was instantly dyed a crimson red, a scene of apocalypse.

A massive, burning meteorite tore through space, carrying terrifyingly high temperatures capable of incinerating everything, and hurtled towards the city's grounds.

"What an amazing monster!" Even the stone pharaoh in the preparation area couldn't help but exclaim.

"Have times changed?"

"What terrifying destructive power."

However, Jonouchi showed no sign of panic, as if everything was under control: "What a troublesome fellow."

"but--!"

"I am stronger!"

He laughed and raised his arm, pointing to the majestic steel dragon on the field.

"Activate the effect of [Red-Eyes Black Steel Dragon]!"

"This effect can only be activated when the opponent activates it; otherwise, the activation is nullified!"

"Roar--!"

[Red-Eyes Black Steel Dragon] roared to the sky, condensing a highly concentrated black flame bullet from its mouth, which shot upwards like a jet of black lightning.

"boom!!!"

The black flame bullet accurately struck the falling meteorite, detonating a dazzling yet deadly firework in mid-air.

Fragments of the meteorite intertwined with black flames, transforming into a shower of light that slowly drifted down.

The chariot stood frozen in place, its outstretched arm trembling slightly.

His face was filled with resentment, anger, and a hint of... deep helplessness.

Of course, what's even more frustrating is...

Lin Chen is about to take the stage.

Damn it.

How are we supposed to fight this?! Fight with our heads?
The first round is over.

Front row: [Red-Eyes Black Steel Dragon], [Paper God], [Red-Eyes Steel Claw Dragon]

Backcourt: Five blocks

Hand: 2
1P/3P basic score: 417600
[Ding—] The intelligent referee announces the result.

[The 2-player duelist's turn]

Lin Chen sighed and strode towards the dueling arena, not bothering to say anything as he passed the chariot.

Without Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, it's difficult to start with two cards with just three or five nullification cards.

Once the effect of [Folding Paper God] is achieved.

The venue may not be large, but it will have a base score of 41.

Of course, with 41 base points, it's possible to slowly grind them all out.

But what's terrifying is—

If T2 cannot finish them off.

He will face an unnamed Pharaoh who possesses six cards and battlefield resources.
