Chapter 398 Every Card Has Its Meaning (Part 2)
Just as Fenrir the Wolf landed, Li Guanqi waved his hand to open the cover card, his voice decisive: "Except for White Rabbit!"

"Trap activated! [Marys <Code> MTP-07]!"

A red trap card was flipped open in front of him, and countless streams of code surrounded him.

"Add one 'Marys' monster from your Deck to your hand. If there is a 'Marys' Link Monster on the field, you can banish one more card from the field!"

Li Guanqi's deck popped up automatically, and a searchable list was displayed on the virtual screen.

He quickly scanned the area, then paused.

Only one [White Rabbit] and one [March Hare] can be retrieved. The two [Dormouses] on the inside indicate that they are sleeping in the excluded area, leaving a mess, and not wanting to go to work.

"I will add 'March Hare' to my hand."

As he made the decision, Li Guanqi pointed at the Wolf Warriors opposite him.

"Exclude the Fenrir Wolf from the opponent's field!"

A thick stream of red data shot out and hit the Fenrir Wolf precisely, causing its body to disintegrate into countless pixel blocks.

Red side's remaining deck count: 12 → 11
"Wow—"

The audience erupted in uproar.

“Li Guanqi, except for this point in time,” Lightning Mai said with a puzzled tone. “The anti-hidden card is either [Fenrir Wolf] or [Heavenly Demon World].

"Really," he chuckled awkwardly, "a really cautious approach."

The clown's smile froze on his face, and his fingers unconsciously tightened their grip on the cards.

This guy... is an exception at this time.

He took a deep breath, his annoyance at being outmaneuvered turning into a frenzied excitement.

"Battle phase!" The Joker waved forward.

"【Kusha's Wrathful Clan - Unicorn】, attack 【Heart Encryption】!"

Upon receiving the order, the unicorn wielding its spear launched a charge.

"Huh? 2500 against 5000?" Red Bean frowned. "This clown player is..."

"Activate the effect of [Unicorn]!" The Joker's lips curled into a smile. "Check the opponent's Extra Deck, then—"

"Except for the inside side [Fireproof Dragon Dark Fluid - New Electromagnetic Leakage Wind]."

A scarlet spear pierced Li Guanqi's duel disk, and [Fireproof Dragon - Dark Fluid - New Electromagnetic Leakage Wind] was swept into the dark abyss.

"Counterattack!" Li Guanqi gritted his teeth and waved his hand to give the order.

[Heart Encryption] raised his scepter, and a devastating digital beam erupted, blasting the charging [Unicorn] and its spear into pieces.

A violent shockwave from the explosion swept across the entire arena, causing the Duelist Joker to stagger and his health bar to plummet.

Blue side LP: 5000→2500
He clutched his chest, enduring immense pain, but when he looked up, the smile on his face was even more insane and twisted than before.

"Haha...hahahaha!"

The laughter sent chills down the spines of everyone who heard it.

The timeline jumps to the second main phase, and the manic laughter abruptly stops.

The Joker slowly drew out his last card, staring intently at Li Guanqi opposite him.

"If you have no monsters on the field, you can Special Summon this card from your hand!"

He slammed the card onto the Duel Disk, and crimson light burst forth in all directions.

"bring it on!"

"【Fenrir Wolf of the Kusha-nu-wei clan】!"

A ferocious mechanical war wolf descended, its massive battle axe gleaming with a cold light.

"It really is Fenrir Wolf!" Lightning Mc exclaimed excitedly.

"The Joker's last card! It really is the third [Fenrir Wolf]!"

"My God..." Hongdou covered her mouth in shock, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief, "Li Guanqi... he defended correctly!"

"Not only did the Joker player fail to save [Unicorn], losing 2500 health points, but more importantly!"

"He lost the most crucial phase of the battle!"

"Li Guanqi, you've gained a respite in one round!"

The audience area erupted in cheers.

"Holy crap, are they really dueling like this? My heart can't take it!"

"One of them pulls it out like a dog, the other guards against even a dog!"

"Is this guy some kind of supernatural being? How could he predict this?"

"Hmph, he's only alive for one more round. Lord Joker can still make a move. Once [Heart] dies, how will he deal with it?"

"Trust Agent Lee's hidden cards! Please, just give me Nibiru!"

On the field, the clown's chest heaved violently, revealing a morbid excitement.

"Interesting... Li Guanqi! It would be so interesting to duel with you!"

Instead of getting angry, he seemed to have found a kindred spirit and let out a joyful growl.

"Well, go ahead!"

The clown pointed at his monster and gave new instructions.

"Activate the effect of [Fenrir Wolf]!"

"I'm adding one 'Kusa' monster from my deck to my hand!"

"I'm adding [Leshart] to my hand."

"Activate the effect of the card [Leshard] in your hand, and Special Summon this card."

"By banishing the [Sixth Generation Destroyer] from the deck, activate the effect of [Reishart]!" The clown's voice suddenly rose, revealing a neurotic sharpness.

"Ban three cards from the top of your opponent's deck face down! Then, this card's level becomes Rank 7!"

He raised his hand and pointed sharply forward.

"Collapse!"

On the field, [Reshard] let out a roar and rushed forward, delivering a powerful punch that was accompanied by scorching flames, slamming it into Li Guanqi's duel disk!
"boom!"

The virtual flames exploded, and the Duel Disk emitted a piercing, mournful cry.

Li Guanqi frowned, watching helplessly as the three cards at the top of the deck were drawn out by an invisible force, swept into a dark vortex, and disappeared.

Remaining deck size: 11 → 8
"Eight sheets..."

On the helicopter, Hongdou gasped, instinctively covering her mouth, her voice trembling, "Li Guanqi's deck... only has eight cards left!"

"Not only is there pressure to clear out weak hands, but there's also the risk of overdrawing your cards!"

Qi Mengsi crossed her arms and tapped her fingers lightly on her arms, looking very agitated.

She gazed at the man in the eye of the storm and whispered a question in her mind.

Is there... any hope of winning?

Victoria's cold, synthesized voice then rang out.

The Joker will definitely perform an Xyz Summon of a Rank 7 monster.

[Summon the Dragon Slayer, destroy the [Hearts Encryption] on the field. Your husband's March Hare in his hand can pull the hearts back.]

However, summoning the Giant Eye will permanently seize control of the hearts.

The electronic sound pauses here.

[Win rate less than one percent]

The deck doesn't include cards like Lightning Strike.

"They don't seem like they'd give us a chance." Qi Mengsi stared at the clown, too focused on the duel to refute the strange title for a moment.

On the duel ground.

"It's not over yet!" The clown shook his hand, dispelling his manic excitement. "Activate the effect of the excluded [Sixth Incarnation of the Destroyer of the Paranirmitavasavartin]!"

"Target the excluded [Haul], add that card to your hand!"

He made a grabbing motion in the air, and a phantom of a card flew out from the banished zone and landed in his hand.

He slowly raised the two cards in his hand.

"Then, prepare for your doom!"

"I'm using the level 7 [Kusha Fenrir Wolf] and the level 7 [Kusha Rashard]!"

The two monsters transformed into two streaks of red light and soared into the sky.

"Construct a superimposed network!"

"Super Summon!"

A pitch-black cosmic vortex, as deep as an abyss, unfolded before the Joker, and two streams of light swirled into it.

"Descend, absolute eye that tears everything apart!"

"Rank 7! [No. 11 Giant Eye]!"

At the center of that dark cosmic vortex, a rift leading to another dimension was torn open, and a cone-shaped mechanical eyeball slowly opened from the rift.

Li Guanqi's breath caught in his throat for a moment.

This clown may look crazy, but he's more lucid than anyone else, and he never lets anyone escape alive.

"Remove one overload material and activate the effect of [No. 11 Giant Eye]." Clown Disease stretched out his finger and pointed at the expert's eyeball.

"Use the opponent's [Heart Encryption] as the target to gain control of that monster!"

[Giant Eye] unleashed an invisible and intangible mental shockwave, its target aimed directly at [Heart Encryption] on Li Guanqi's chessboard!
"Do not--!"

In the audience area, a bespectacled nerdy guy suddenly stood up and let out a heart-wrenching wail.

"No!"

His shout ignited the fury of all the "pure love warriors".

"You bastard, Joker! Come at me if you dare!"

On the field, the data flow around [Heart Encryption], dressed in a gorgeous red dress, became chaotic. She clutched her head in pain, and the light that made up her body flickered.

However, the bewitching power of the [Giant Eye] is too domineering.

[Heart Encryption] The struggle lasted less than two seconds before the lively light in her eyes quickly faded. She slowly lowered her arms, her posture still elegant, but like a puppet whose soul had been taken away.

Amidst the heartbroken gazes of the audience, especially the pure love warriors, the red-dressed queen walked expressionlessly across the boundary line of the arena, floating above the clown battlefield to stand shoulder to shoulder with the ferocious [giant eye].

"Hahaha...hahahaha!" The clown spread his arms and laughed maniacally.

"How are you feeling, Li Guanqi?"

"Isn't it fun to look at your ace and offer your blessing for our duel?"

The entire dueling arena was deathly silent, with unspoken fury burning beneath the surface.

As a commentator, Shandian Mai should have been impartial, but he couldn't stand this comment: "No wonder it's Zhong, he's got a knack for messing with people's mentality."

“However,” Hongdou looked at Li Guanqi’s face, “he hasn’t given up yet.”

"Hmph." The clown snorted contentedly, then slapped the card in his hand. "Activate Continuous Spell, [Holding Place of the Wrathful Clan]."

Li Guanqi then flipped over his hand and said coldly, "This will trigger the effect of the hand card [March Hare]."

"Special Summon this card by banishing [<Code>MTP-07] from the Graveyard."

[March Hare] reveals itself and, upon seeing [Giant Eye] and [Heart] on the opponent's field, its eyes blaze with fury.

"Hehehe, struggle, struggle all you want!" the clown laughed, pointing forward. "Pretending to be something you're not, you don't even have [Nibiru] in your hand, both of your hidden cards are useless!"

“Every card has its own purpose,” Li Guanqi replied coldly.

The clown, the commentator, and the entire audience were all taken aback upon hearing this.

"A useless card is a useless card!" The Joker sneered, then suddenly waved his hand, "Activate the effect of [Haul]!"

Special Summon from Graveyard: [Kusha Wraith Unicorn]!

The Unicorn has returned to the battlefield, and the air has become gloomy.

"My turn is over." The Joker smiled confidently.

The third round has ended.

Forwards: [Giant Eye], [Heart], [Unicorn]

Backfield: [Mooring Area]

Hand: 0
Blue team basic points: 5300
The entire dueling arena fell into an eerie, deathly silence.

The clown's maniacal laughter had long since ceased.

On two broadcast helicopters high in the sky.

Hongdou silently put down the microphone, staring blankly at the arena, forgetting even her specialty of enlivening the atmosphere.

"There's no chance anymore..." she murmured to herself, "It's over."

Lightning Mai had lost his passion for commentary, and just looked at the figures in the dueling arena from afar, saying, "No, it's not over yet."

"He said it."

His calm voice, transmitted clearly through the microphone on his chest, resonated throughout the venue.

“Every card has its own purpose.”

This statement is like a pebble thrown into stagnant water.

The man in the green jacket, Tang Xin, and Qi Mengsi stood in the crowd, along with the duelists in front of the screen, Lin Chen in the prison, Xia Sheng from Mo Wangfu... Everyone stopped cheering and shouting, and just quietly looked at Li Guanqi, at that resolute face.

The audience is ultimately just an audience.

The duelists haven't given up, so the duel isn't over yet.

"Turn the tide of battle, duelist!" Lightning McIlroy shouted, holding his breath.

In the midst of this silent moment under the spotlight, Li Guanqi slowly placed his hand on the card deck.

"My turn."

"Draw the card!" He suddenly waved his hand and pulled out the card.

【Male Wizard @ Fire Spirit Star】

Remaining deck size: 8 → 7
Think, think, think, think, think.
Li Guanqi was not as calm as he appeared; his breathing was rapid, and his eyes quickly scanned every area and every card.

On the field is [March Hare], in hand are [G of Multiplication], [Clown and Lockbird], [March Hare] and [Witch @ Fire Spirit Star], and in the graveyard is [Marys] with only one copy of her own [GWC-06].

There isn't a single [Marys] monster left in the deck.

Backuper Backuper Backuper.
Li Guanqi breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming the excluded cards; there was still one "Backup Officer" left.

As soon as the main phase arrived, he quickly raised his hand and said, "[March Hare] Set connection marker for single unit."

"Connect Summon!"

"Link 1, [Connect the decoder]!"

"Target the March Hare in your Graveyard, activate the effect of the card 'Witch @ Fire Spirit Star' in your hand, Special Summon that monster and this card in your hand in Defense Position."

A flash of light appeared as [Male Wizard @ Fire Spirit Star] and [March Hare] appeared one after another on Li Guanqi's field.

In the blink of an eye, there were three monsters on the field.

"Three connection values!"

Red Bean straightened up and shouted, "I still have a March Hare in my hand! I haven't used Splash yet, he can make a Link 5!"

The entire stadium erupted once again because of her words: "There is still hope!"

"What a pity." The clown's eerie smile was magnified to its extreme at this moment.

Waved violently.

"At this moment, I activate the effect of [Kusha's Wrathful Might - Unicorn]."

"Check your opponent's Extra Deck, banish one card face-down!"

Om-!
A virtual screen unfolded in front of the clown, clearly listing all the cards in Li Guanqi's Extra Deck.

The clown's fingers, with a mocking slowness, traced across the screen.

"Let me see...where is your last hope hidden?"

His fingertip finally stopped on a card: "This one?"

That was the last card that carried hope.

"Disappear!" the clown's voice turned shrill.

"【Collaborative Code Writer @ Fire Spirit Star】!"

On the field, [Kusha Wrathful Clan Unicorn] threw his spear, which accurately hit Li Guanqi's duel disk.

"boom!"

Li Guanqi slowly widened his eyes.

In his despairing gaze, the phantom image of the [Heart-to-Heart Code Speaker] card appeared, only to be pierced by a beam of light, sucked into a dark vortex, and vanished completely.

The last hope has been dashed.

His shoulders slumped, and the glimmer of light that had just gathered in his eyes dimmed.

The audience, which had just been buzzing with excitement, fell silent once again.

This silence was more suffocating than ever before, to the point that even the duelists themselves gave up.

In the crowd, Qi Mengsi slowly closed her eyes, unable to bear watching any longer. The two commentators high above stood with their mouths agape, unable to utter a single word. All the terminals were gone, except for one [Divine Bow].

In the dark, gloomy detention cell.

Lin Chen looked at Li Guanqi's colorless face on the screen, shook his head and grinned, then slowly stood up from his chair.

He moved his wrists, and the shackles rattled.

"Someone come here." He said arrogantly to the security camera.

"Take this piece of junk off for me."

The only response from the room was a cold, indifferent one.

[Before the intelligent referee announces the outcome]

The duel is not over.

"I can't win," Li Guanqi stared blankly at the three cards in his hand.

Time ticked by, and the bright red countdown numbers in the duel system seemed like a death knell.

10...

9...

Time is almost up.

Before he could think, his body reacted: "I will set connection markers for [Connect Decoder] and [March Hare]."

The two monsters transformed into two streaks of light and rushed into the connecting arrow above their heads.

"Connection Summon."

"link2, [The Little Wizard of the Electronic World]".

A little boy dressed in a data-stream wizard's robe appears.

“I activate the effect of the card [March Hare] in my hand.” Li Guanqi flipped over his hand. “Special Summon this card, banishing [<Code>GWC-06] from the Graveyard.”

The March Hare landed on the arrowhead of the Electronic World Little Wizard.

"Exclude the March Hare from the Graveyard, activate the effect of Cyberse Wizard, and add Backupman@Fire Spirit Star from the Deck to your hand."

If the March Hare is banished, pay 300 Life Points to activate its effect and add the banished March Hare to your hand.

Red team basic points: 6800 → 6500
Remaining deck size: 7 → 6
Li Guanqi thought quickly, constantly flipping through the various sections.

5...

4...

3
2...

1...

The instant the timer reset, Li Guanqi snapped back to reality and abruptly flipped over a card and slammed it down.

"Activate the effect of the card [Backup Agent @ Fire Spirit Star]!"

Special Summon this card from your hand!

The data stream flickered, and a female secretary from the electronics industry, wearing frameless glasses and a professional office lady suit, appeared in the projection.

[Backup Agent @Fire Spirit Star]: Attack Power 1200
Li Guanqi's hand did not stop, and he was about to raise it to point at the monster, but his movement suddenly froze in mid-air.

In the duel arena, the [Backup Agent] is grayed out, and the indicator light triggered by the effect is not lit.

The entire stadium was deathly silent.

"Hahaha..." A suppressed chuckle broke the silence.

The clown's shoulders shook violently, eventually turning into a deafening, maniacal laugh that echoed throughout the entire arena.

"Hahahahahaha!"

"What's wrong? What happened to your effect?" The clown spread his arms and said in a regretful tone, "Oh—I see, you don't have any DARK Cyberse monsters in your deck!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Red Bean's face paled, and her lips moved slightly: "The remaining 6 cards in the deck... are there no monsters left?"

"Is this your struggle?" The clown's smile grew even more cruel. "You have five usable field values, yet you can't even make a decent terminal, hahaha!"

Lightning McAvoy slumped against the iron gate, putting down the microphone: "It's over. Only four cards left in the Extra Deck, and no usable monsters in the Main Deck..."

Despair once again enveloped the entire venue.

Amidst the laughter and sighs, Li Guanqi slowly withdrew his hand, which had been frozen in mid-air, and then clenched his fist.

His gaze was fixed intently on his own field.

It's not over yet!

I haven't lost yet!

"I'm setting connection markers for [Electronic Wizard] and [Wizard@Fire Spirit Star] on the field!"

Li Guanqi's voice rang out again, clear and filled with grief, indignation, and determination.

"Connect Summon!"

"Come forth, Link-2, [Splash Screen Mage]!"

A data stream burst open in a splash-like pattern, and a mage clad in a blue robe and wielding a magic wand made his entrance.

"Activate the effect of [Splash Spellcaster]! Special Summon [Witch @ Fire Spirit Star] from your Graveyard!"

In the graveyard, the [Male Wizard @Fire Spirit Star] that had just been sent in as material transformed into a beam of light and returned to the field.

Li Guanqi suddenly waved his hand, and the two monsters on the field once again turned into streaks of light.

"I've set connection markers for [Splash Screen Mage] and [Warlock @ Fire Spirit Star]!"

"Boiled souls intertwine here! Opening up a brand new path!"

A torrent of data, constructed from billions of lines of crimson code, swept across the void.

"Connect Summon!"

"Descend, Link-3!"

Flames exploded, and a Code Speaker warrior clad in crimson heavy armor, his body covered in fiery patterns, descended with a roar.

"【Decoding Speaker - A Blazing Soul】!"

Attack Damage: 2300 → 3300
"The Decoder... the Fiery Soul." Lightning Mai's eyes widened, and he clenched his fists. "Li Guanqi hasn't given up yet!"

"Let go of my hand and draw the card!"

The fiery soul let out a roar.

Li Guanqi stood before it, the light in his eyes, which had dimmed, was ignited at this moment: "Pay 1000 base points."

"Activate the effect of [Decoder - Blazing Soul]".

"I draw a card from my deck!"

Red team basic points: 6500 → 5500
Li Guanqi suddenly waved his hand, his fingertips tracing the flames as he pulled out the card.

[Mary's Mirror Image]

Remaining deck size: 6 → 5
Upon seeing the card, Li Guanqi's heavy breathing gradually calmed down, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled.

The miracle didn't happen.

The duelist couldn't draw the card he hadn't played, so he couldn't conjure a [Lightning Strike] from the void.

I tried my best.

Li Guanqi sighed helplessly and slowly raised his heavy arm: "Advance—"

The words have not yet fallen.

Boom! ! !
Without warning, a heavy blow struck the heart, threatening to shatter the sternum!
The excruciating pain caused Li Guanqi to groan, the declaration of attack stuck in his throat, his raised arm froze in mid-air, his body involuntarily bent down, and fine beads of cold sweat seeped from his forehead.

"Huh?" The two commentators looked puzzled, and the audience erupted in an uproar.

What happened to player Li Guanqi?

"This is where we need to advance to the battle rank, and defeat one of them—"

He, too, was unable to finish his sentence.

"Om-"

A very faint tremor rang out from Li Guanqi's heart.

A ring of transparent, light blue ripples spread silently from his heart.

As the ripples swept across, the entire world was put on pause.

Lightning leaned forward, his mouth agape in an "O" shape, frozen in the moment his voice was cut off.

The clown's arrogant smile froze on his face, his distorted features looking comical and grotesque, like a cheap wax figure.

In the audience area, thousands of faces with different expressions—astonishment, confusion, worry—all froze. The dust flying in the air, the data particles flashing on the duel disks, everything was suspended motionless in place.

The whole world was deathly silent.

Only Li Guanqi himself was still able to move.

He clutched his chest, breathing heavily. The excruciating pain came and went quickly, leaving only his heart still pounding wildly.

The surrounding scenery changed rapidly.

"Whoosh—" The world sank into darkness, leaving only moonlight and two figures.

One person was holding a camera, and the other was surrounded by blue will-o'-the-wisps. They were talking about something, and only fragmented conversation could be heard.

"Everyone has their own unique talents, which will surely be put to good use."

"The effect can be activated once it's written."

"But [Heart Key Fairy] is a normal monster, so it has no effect."

"What do you know."

“Every card has its own purpose.”

No one is obligated to be anyone else's vassal.
The illusion before my eyes shattered like glass, and sound and color flooded back into my senses.

"It should be time to advance to the Battle Rank and break through a [Giant Eye]..."

The narrator's voice, the clown's unrestrained laughter, and the audience's chatter all returned.

Li Guanqi's state of mind has changed completely.

His eyes regained their light, and he breathed heavily, his gaze rapidly sweeping across his hand as he muttered, "Every card has its purpose."

No one is obligated to be anyone's vassal.

"vassal."

【6】

【5】

【4】

Li Guanqi's eyes darted around frantically, finally fixing on a certain card, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

希望
Last hope
found it!
"I haven't summoned a normal summon this turn!" Li Guanqi shouted proudly, his whole body filled with fighting spirit.

The clown was startled and stopped laughing maniacally.

The two commentators were momentarily at a loss for how to keep up.

"I'm summoning this monster!" Li Guanqi drew a card and slammed it down. "Come on!"

"【Proliferating G】!"

"Summon [Multiplied G]?" The Joker scoffed. "What can you do with just one more board presence?"

"【G of Proliferation】, Earth attribute," Lightning Wheat explained. "Because I used 【Spirit King's Wave】 in the first round, I couldn't use it later."

"It's a waste."

"Just a useless card!" the clown mocked.

"Every card has its purpose!" Li Guanqi roared back, "I will—"

He suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the three monsters on his field.

"Level 2 [G of Proliferation], Level 3 [March Hare], Level 3 [Backup Agent @ Fire Spirit Star]."

A series of announcements, like a rapid drumbeat, struck the hearts of everyone.

The clown's smile froze.

"Adjust the stars!" Li Guanqi roared out these two words with all his might.

"What did you say?!" The clown's eyes widened suddenly.

The two commentators, Qi Mengsi, the man in the green jacket, and a group of onlookers raised their eyebrows: "What is this—?"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the three monsters on the field transformed into halos and stars intertwined.

"Om-!"

The halo spun rapidly, its blinding light shooting skyward.

Bathed in light, Li Guanqi held the card high: "Fragments of broken data, disordered and redundant code."

"Here, reconstruct the sequence!"

"Synchronization Summon!" A beam of light exploded.

"Show yourself! Level 8! [Master of Enigma Ciphers - Compact Compressor]!"

boom! ! !
A blue beam of data light descended from the sky, and a humanoid mechanical body composed entirely of blue crystal lattices appeared.

[Master of Enigma Codes - Compact Bit Compressor]

Attack: 2900
The entire audience area was completely silent.

The clown stared wide-eyed, unable to utter a sound of laughter.

Synchro Monsters that shouldn't be in a Link Deck.

Appeared!
Red Bean's voice trembled: "Unbelievable!!!"

"【Master of Enigma】!!!" Lightning Man went berserk, his face flushed with excitement, "Li Guanqi, using the 【Marys】 deck, Synchro Summoned 【Master of Enigma】!"

"【Master of Enigma Codes】!"

"tell me!"

"Do you want to be a bullet for the Dark Fluid for life, or a hero for three minutes?!"

"Activate the effect of [Enigma Cipher Master]!" Li Guanqi roared, pointing forward, "Target the [Heart Encryption] on the opponent's field."

"Discard the cards [Clown and Lockbird] from your hand."

"The monster that is targeted is treated as a Continuous Trap Card and placed face-up in its original owner's Spell & Trap Zone!"

"I—am a person of pure love!"

[Master of Enigma Code] raises his right arm, which is made of blue lattice, spreads his five fingers, and aims at [Heart Encryption].

hum!
Several streams of blue data shot out from the fingertips of the [Enigma Code Master]. They were not violent energy, but rather living sequence instructions, which wrapped around the body of [Heart Encryption].

"boom--!"

The bewitching halo around her head shattered, her eyes regained their clarity, and she transformed into a soul, drifting back to the rear of Li Guanqi's battlefield.

"How is this possible?" The clown's eyes widened in disbelief.

Two useless cards, [G of Multiplication] and [Clown and Lockbird], were used as Synchro Material and discarded when [Enigma Master] activated its effect.

They used them all?!

"Let's fight!" Li Guanqi roared.

"【Master of Enigma】, attack 【Unicorn】!"

Li Guanqi swung his arm sharply: "Data Compression Cannon!"

The Master of Enigma raised his right arm and unleashed a blue beam of light that struck the Unicorn.

hum-

The unicorn begins to pixelate, with data fragments peeling off and disintegrating.

The clown raised his hand to block the aftershocks.

Blue team basic points: 2500 → 2100
"It's not over yet!" Li Guanqi's voice rang out again, "[Decoder - Blazing Soul], attack [Giant Eye]!"

[Decoder - Blazing Soul] transformed into a crimson streak of light, trailing a long fiery tail, and swung his sword heavily towards [Giant Eye].

[Decoder - Fiery Soul] increases attack power by 500 for each monster under the arrow. At this moment, the attack power of 2800 surpasses that of [Giant Eye], which has 2600.

"Boom!" The giant eye exploded in mid-air.

Blue team basic points: 2100 → 1900
"Uh!" The clown gritted his teeth slightly.

200 damage isn't much, but it's extremely insulting.

In just a few dozen seconds, the situation changed dramatically.

The clown's monster area is empty.

"Wow—awesome!" The thousands of people in the audience area were completely in an uproar.

“Awesome!!!”

"That can wipe out the entire field in one turn?! Holy crap, that's awesome!"

Tang Xin mingled in the screaming crowd, her eyes glazed over.
