Chapter 428 The cell is drafty
"What's not sweet about it?" Tang Xin didn't detect the anger in her lover's words. Instead, she earnestly showed her hand of cards she had revealed. "Isn't there a [Jelly Angel] card here?"

She blinked and added, "You searched using 'Miao and Xia's Springtime Essence,' don't you remember?"

Upon hearing this, the lover felt a tightness in his chest and almost couldn't breathe.

She took a deep breath, her fingernails digging shallow marks into her palm.

How can there be such a stupid and cunning person?

She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the anger in them had subsided, leaving only a cold calculation.

The duel is the most important thing; we need to test the limits of this master of the neuro-domain as much as possible.

"My turn, draw a card!"

The lover's voice was crisp as he pinched the card at the top of the deck between his index and middle fingers and pulled it out sharply.

Her eyes twitched as her gaze fell on the cards.

【Infinite Illusions】.

There's some explanation for this.

This card didn't come too early; if it had come last turn, the opponent would have already fixed it. But it's not too late either. This turn, whether it negates [Drowsy Baku] or [Barrier Statue], it can bring her back from a locked-down situation.

Fortunately, [Tiger] passed, and the opponent didn't build the maximum board, so there's still a chance to win.

The lover glanced at his hand, which held as many as seven cards, and a playful smile returned to the corners of his mouth.

She picked one out and snapped a picture without hesitation.

"Activate a Trap Card from your hand: [Infinite Impermanence]!"

Since you have no cards on your field, this trap can be activated directly from your hand.

"Target the opponent's [Sleep Demon Baku]!"

A virtual light screen descended from the sky, enveloping the sleeping purple monster, and countless chains appeared, binding it tightly.

"Until the end of the turn, that monster's effects are nullified!" She pointed forward, and an arc of electricity exploded.

[Sleepy Tapir] When it gets dizzy, its eyes roll back, and it falls asleep immediately, completely slacking off.

"Oh no." Iizuna frowned.

"【Infinite Illusion】!" The excited agents' hearts jumped into their throats.

The sealing effects of the [Sleeping Baku] and [Barrier Statue] must both coexist to unleash their maximum power.

If [Sleepy Baku] is negated, the opponent can activate a monster effect without switching to defense. Any low-level monster can easily remove [Barrier Statue] during the Battle Phase.

Tang Xin's painstakingly laid trap was torn open by a single card.

"Little sister, your 'cell' seems to be leaking air." The lover chuckled, his eyes regaining their playful glint, like a cat that had regained control.

Tang Xin gave a stubborn snort, ignoring her and pretending to be calm, but inside she was going crazy.

Damn it! She got [Infinite Bubble]!

Goddess of Fortune, what are you doing?! Are you still asleep?! Look closely, those are cult thugs!

"Well then, the show is on..." The lover looked at the other six cards in his hand, his smile growing even brighter.

"...Now it's time to start."

Tang Xin's heart tightened suddenly.

coming soon!
"Normal Summon." The Lover slammed a card onto the Duel Disk.

"【Gazel, the King of the Phantom Claws】!"

Roar--!
With a deep roar, a lion with its mane burning like flames appeared out of thin air, its lithe limbs landing steadily.

[Gazelle, King of the Phantom Claws]

Attack: 1500
With an attack power of 1500, it's not high, but it's enough to defeat a [Barrier Statue].

"Activate the effect of [King Gazel of the Phantom Claws]." The lover suddenly raised his hand, "Add [Baphomet the Great Wing] from the deck to the hand."

A new card popped out and she held it between her fingers.

Izuna's face darkened as he stood outside: "It's [Chimera]..."

Yan Lang nodded, his expression equally solemn.

【Gazelle】 and 【Baphomet】 are classic components of 【Mega Fusion】. Once the 【Barrier Statue】 is destroyed, the opponent can immediately create a powerful fusion monster.

"Little sister, are you ready?" The lover waved his hand elegantly, his voice suddenly becoming sharp.

"Battle phase!"

Tang Xin clenched her fists, her heart racing.

"【King Gazel of the Phantom Claws】, attack 【Barrier Statue of Drought】!"

The lover pointed to the small statue and delivered a death sentence.

"King's Claw Strike!"

The lion roared and pounced, its golden claws flashing with a blinding light in the air—a pure, unadulterated physical strike, devoid of any fancy moves.

"Crack——!"

The hard rock statue was no match for the lion's claws; cracks instantly spread all over its body, and it then exploded into countless pieces.

Tang Xin raised her hand to shield herself from the explosive storm, her lips pressed tightly together.

As the [Drought Barrier Statue] retreated, the invisible pressure that had been sealing off the entire area suddenly dissipated.

"Look, your wall has fallen." The lover chuckled, twirling the [Great Winged Baphomet] item he had just retrieved on his fingertip and waving it at Tang Xin.

"It's my friends' turn to appear..."

"Main Phase Two."

She slapped the card down, her voice crisp: "Activate the Spell Card, [Mega Beast Fusion]!"

"I sent [Gazelle the Phantom Claw King] and [Baphomet the Great Wing] from my hand to the Graveyard as materials."

The phantoms of two colossal beasts appeared behind the lovers, a lion and a winged demon, roaring as they clashed together, merging into one in the vortex of the magic card.

"The King of Claws and the Demon of Giant Wings meet in the crucible of fantasy."

The lovers opened their arms as if embracing a new life.

"Turning into a nightmare that tears reality apart!"

"Fusion Summon!"

"Be born! [Chimera, the King of Mythical Beasts]!"

A violent burst of energy erupted, and a two-headed monster descended upon the scene, its eyes fixed on Tang Xin, radiating an oppressive aura.

"Activate the effect of [Chimera the Beast King]." The lover raised his hand and said, "During the End Phase of this turn, randomly select one card from your opponent's hand and send it to the Graveyard."

"Next, the effect of the Graveyard card [King Gazel of the Phantom Claw] is activated, adding a Phantom Demon monster from the Deck to the hand."

The cards popped out of the deck automatically, and she put them into her hand without even looking at them.

"I'm adding [Cornfield Serpent God] to my hand."

"Next, discard [Cornfield Serpent God] and add [Mirror Sword Knight] from the deck to your hand."

As for the effect of [Great Winged Baphomet], it cannot move under the suppression of [Royal Valley of Slumber].

Tang Xin looked at the ferocious chimera, then at the tomb standing tall on the field, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, Wang Gu is still around.

As long as [King's Valley] is present, [Great Winged Baphomet] cannot Special Summon monsters from the Graveyard, [Mega Fusion] cannot be recycled from the Graveyard, and [Mirror Sword Knight] and [Cornfield Serpent God] cannot activate their Graveyard effects.

"Little sister, what are you celebrating?" Her lover seemed to see through her thoughts, a cruel smile curving his lips.

Tang Xin frowned, a bad feeling creeping over her.

The lovers looked at the two giant beasts standing side by side on the field, and their smiles became increasingly sinister.

She suddenly raised her hand: "I will set a connection marker between [Chimera the Beast King] and [Gazel the Claw King]!"

The two demonic beasts transformed into two dazzling streaks of light, one green and one orange, soaring into the sky and forming a link circuit in mid-air.

"Connect Summon!"

"Show yourself, Link-2!"

"【S:P Saya】!" A burst of light erupted, and a petite figure emerged from the circuit, silently landing on the field, a short blade flashing coldly.

"Oh no!" Tang Xin's heart sank.

"Activate the effect of [S:P Saya]." The lover waved her hand forward, the movement elegant yet deadly, "Target [Royal Valley of the Sleep] on the opponent's field."

"Exclude that card!"

"Night navigation!"

As soon as the command was given, [S:P Xiaoye]'s figure vanished from the spot and appeared like a ghost next to the [Valley of Royal Sleep] card, the short blade in her hand drawing a cold arc of light.

"Shh-!"

The magnificent mausoleum that had enveloped the entire site split open in the middle, then dissipated into countless points of light.

The dueling arena has been restored to its original state.

Tang Xin's last line of defense was completely torn apart, leaving [Dream Eater] to be affected by [Infinite Bubble] this round, and it will directly block itself in the next round.

Looking at Tang Xin's pale face, her lover smiled with satisfaction.

"Now, your cell is completely empty of bars." Her voice was full of mockery as she pointed to the graveyard: "Activate the effect of the graveyard card [Mega Fusion], add this card to your hand."

"Cover a card and the turn ends."

"At the end of the phase, deal with the effects of [Chimera the Beast King]."

The lover's voice was soft.

The phantom of the [Phantom Beast King Chimera], which served as the connecting material, appeared on the field. It opened its blood-red maw, let out a roar, and charged towards Tang Xin.

"Soul Hunting!"

[Chimera the Beast King] slapped at Tang Xin's hand with its claw, and the only remaining card, [Puppet Dessert - Jelly Angel], shattered instantly.

"jelly."

Tang Xin's shoulders trembled, and she subconsciously withdrew her empty hand.

The last bit of battery life was cut off.

"Your turn, little sweetheart (angel)." The lover chuckled softly, his narrow eyes filled with a playful glint.

"Oh no, the battery is dead..." Iizuna frowned.

With three monsters on the field unable to summon [Puppet Dessert], and no cards in hand, how can I possibly get past my opponent's Accelerated Fusion and [Mirror Sword Knight] from the graveyard with just one draw?
Yan Lang remained silent, his expression solemn.

Can this child maintain his mental state?
He doesn't have high expectations for the newcomers' dueling skills, nor does he seek victory in their first battle. He only hopes that their mentality won't be affected and that they can stick to their own dueling style.

"My turn."

Tang Xin's voice was shaky, and even she could hear a slight tremor in it.

She reached out and gently placed her fingertips on the top of the deck. The cool touch spread along her fingertips, but it couldn't calm her wildly beating heart.

All eyes were on her.

Sympathetic, worried, mocking.

In the epic realm, even with the first strike advantage, she couldn't win. She couldn't even imagine the gossip from the crowd and her lover's face after the battle.

Can't lose.
"I don't want to lose." Tang Xin closed her eyes tightly and silently prayed, "Everyone, don't touch me."

To everyone, she had no monsters left and no way to sustain herself. None of the three monsters on the field could move. Her only hope for a comeback was to draw a [Puppet Dessert] card as a starting point.

But as the veterans of the dessert scene know, you can win by drawing from your own side, but you need to be matched with the other party.

The activation effect of 【Magic Puppet Dessert】 is the lowest priority, first-speed effect.

This means that as long as she switches her attack to [Drowsy Tapir] and plays [Owl] or [Jelly Angel], before she can even announce the effect, the opponent will immediately accelerate and fuse [Guardian Chimera] to blow up the monster.

Once the summoning point is cut off, everything is over.

Relying on our own resources has a very low chance of winning. We have to admit that the [Puppet Dessert] has its limits. Given the huge difference in resources between the two sides, we still have to rely on single cards from outside the system.

Please, everyone stay away from me... Jelly Angel, Pudding Princess, Owl... Please, stay in the deck.

Tang Xin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and prayed frantically in her heart.

"Please, Goddess of Fate!"

She suddenly opened her eyes, and with a force exerted by her index and middle fingers, pulled out the top card of the deck!

The moment Tang Xin saw the card, her pupils contracted slightly.

On that taut little face, a hint of disappointment flashed across her face, followed by ecstasy, but that joy lasted for less than half a second before quickly turning into a more complex and chilling killing intent.

Her lover, who had been staring intently at her, was dumbfounded.

What kind of weird thing did this little girl draw this time?

This abstract control of facial expressions reminded her of an old friend surnamed Li.

"Tang Xin, what is this...?" Izuna murmured in confusion.

"Preparation phase: Remove one overcharge material from [Dream Eater]." Tang Xin began.

The first major stage has arrived.

Without the slightest hesitation, she raised her hand and declared: "[Dreamy Baku] is now in an attack stance."

"Snoring——"

The drooling purple Sleepy Tapir jolted awake from its deep sleep, yawning sleepily and instantly dispelling the hypnotic aura that had lulled the monster into a drowsy state.

The lover's eyelids twitched as he looked at Tang Xin's mysterious card, his fingertips tightening slightly.

After thinking about it, it's safer to wait for the monsters from [Puppet Dessert] to appear before stopping them.

"Remove one Xyz Material from [Mikage Shishi], and its effect activates." Tang Xin smiled and said, "Add 1 Rock-Type monster from your Deck to your hand."

The lover raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised: "It can even have effects enabled? Two [Nibiru] cards?"

The system can search for Rock-type monsters. If you're going to switch to her deck, you'd prefer to include only one copy of [Nibiru].

It doesn't matter. The exposed [Nibiru] doesn't pose much of a threat to her [Mixed Beast] deck. As long as she's careful with the five summons, it's practically useless.

To everyone's surprise, Tang Xin simply smiled mysteriously, her fingertips lightly tracing across the virtual deck as she drew a card: "This is the card I want to add to my hand—"

She flipped the card over gently and showed it to the card.

"【Drought Barrier Image】!"

Upon seeing the card, the lover's mind went blank. His eyes widened slowly, and he said in disbelief, "You—you son of a bitch!"

"Bringing two [Drought Barrier Statue]?!"

"I'll jam your hand until you're dead!"

"Don't hold your hand, we're all partners," Tang Xin said righteously. "This isn't the [Drought Barrier Statue], it's the [Puppet Dessert Barrier Statue]."

This translates to: This is our [Magic Puppet Dessert] original card, it's normal to have three of them.

The lovers took a deep breath and tried to steady their breathing.

After we win, we must thoroughly ridicule this bastard!

Before that, she needed to calm down and analyze the situation.

Once 【Drought Barrier Statue】 is played, the effects of 【Phantom Beast King】 in her graveyard and 【Mixed Beast Fusion】 cannot be activated, leaving only 【Night】 as her only resistance.

However, [Saya] only has an attack power of 1600, which can be destroyed by [Sleepy Baku] or [Mikage Shishi].

[Slanted Green] will provide additional Normal Summon Points, but if the new card drawn is a Movement Point, then it's over.

"We have to make a move!"

A sharp glint flashed in the lover's eyes, and he abruptly pointed to the back of the room: "Activate the face-down card! [Mega Beast Fusion]!"

"I used the [Mirror Sword Knight] and [Great Winged Baphomet] cards from my hand as materials."

The two illusory figures of Kaling converged and spun in mid-air.

"Fusion Summon!" the lover shouted.

"Descend, [Phantom Beast Demon King Baphomet]!"

The fantastical beast descended with a roar, its head raised, the sound waves almost materializing.

"Baphomet the Great Winged can be sent to the Graveyard as a material to Special Summon Mirror Sword Knight from the Graveyard."

"This will trigger the effect of [Baphomet the Beast King]." She waved her hand lightly, "and send [Abyss Barrier Statue] from the deck to the graveyard."

The blockade card had been sent to the cemetery, and the heavy weight on her heart lifted slightly.

Next is.
She looked up at Tang Xin, ready to savor the look of despair on her face.

However, the expected panic did not occur.

Tang Xin was not nervous at all. Instead, she seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden and relaxed, letting out a soft sigh of relief.

Ok?
The lover's smug smile faded.

This reaction is wrong.

Why did she also breathe a sigh of relief? What switch did I press?

As the lover pondered, a chilling thought flashed into her mind, making her freeze.

"Oh no!" she whispered, her face changing drastically.

On the other side, Tang Xin looked down at the card she had just drawn this round, her heart still pounding wildly.

Thankfully, it didn't scare anyone.

That was a magic card, a card with an extremely high ceiling and an extremely low floor—

[A talent capable of winning three battles].

If your opponent activates a monster effect during your Main Phase, this card can transform into [Pot of Greed], [Heartbreaker], or [Forced Soldier].

But if the other party remains inactive, it becomes nothing more than a useless piece of paper.

She just activated the effect of [Mikage Shishi] to search for the universally disliked [Drought Barrier Statue], not to make it onto the field at all.

She was more interested in scaring people.

She doesn't know what to do if the other side doesn't activate the effect.

Fortunately, she made the right bet.

The goddess of fate raised her hand, but not quite, like a waterlogged cell phone malfunctioning.

"Tsk, [World War III], huh?" The lover frowned.
