Chapter 438 The Ingenious Strategy of Silver City
Crimson lasers crisscrossed as they shot down from the sky, forming an invisible cage that completely sealed off the five-square area behind the Silver City Palace Master's territory.

Until the end of the round, the trap here is nothing but a piece of waste paper.

Li Guanqi looked at the Palace Master of Silver City with a leisurely air and kindly reminded him, "You can choose a trap to cover it up."

"I don't need you to urge me!" the Palace Master of Silver City roared back, filled with endless resentment.

In the end, she still drew a card from her deck, her movements slightly stiff, and slammed it heavily onto the duel disk.

"I'm putting [Transaction Reversal] face-down onto the field from my deck!"

The tone and the fierceness in his voice—anyone could tell he was suppressing his anger.

Ignoring the other party's emotions, Li Guanqi was somewhat surprised to hear the card name.

[Transaction rollback]?
The guy on the other end is quick-witted. [Red Restart] only blocks card activation, it can't control traps in the graveyard. If he could get [Things Rollback] into the graveyard, he could activate its effect.

With the chain reaction resolved, the menacing [Dark Deck Destruction Virus] was slunk back onto the field under the absolute suppression of [Red Reboot].

Time has officially entered the first major phase.

Li Guanqi's gaze swept across the graveyard opposite. The [Demon God Statue] had an attack power of 3200, indicating that there were three common traps in the graveyard. He remembered them clearly: two [Great Welcome] cards, as well as [Welcome] and [Treasure of Reincarnation].

【The Treasure of Reincarnation】 can bounce 【Things Rollback】 back to the hand, and then throw it down with 【Fire Furnace】. Fortunately, 【Virus】 wasn’t in the graveyard and was suppressed on the field by 【Red Reboot】.

【Big Welcome】 can be banished from the Graveyard and bounced away from a monster on the field. Combined with 【Big White】, it can destroy another monster.

However, this combo has an absolute prerequisite—[Big Welcome] must successfully bounce the monster away.

What if the monster disappears from the field before that? You can interrupt it by destroying the monster in advance with [Hell Graveyard Creeper] and a chain, but the problem is that you don't have [Hell Graveyard Creeper] in hand. If you use [Throne] to search for it, the opponent will be prepared. [Grand Welcome] won't trigger the monster that has [Hubel] in its list, and [Hell Graveyard Creeper] won't be able to chain monsters to destroy them.

Let's try it out and see how it goes.

Having figured out the key point, a smile flickered across Li Guanqi's lips as he took two cards from the graveyard and returned them to the deck: "I'm sending [Hubel] and [Dark Summoning God] from the graveyard back to the deck."

"Using this as material, a Special Summon is initiated—"

"【Hubert Phantom】!"

Golden light shot into the sky, and a figure that combined both holiness and evil slowly descended.

She possessed the graceful figure of a woman, the wings of a demon, yet her eyes were empty and sorrowful.

"Thank you for your [Ancient Vanguard]," Li Guanqi said meaningfully.

"【Ubel Phantom】..." The Palace Mistress of Silver City ignored the hidden meaning in his words. She stared intently at the figure, the light in her eyes still burning.

Not being able to use trap cards doesn't mean she's lost!

After thinking for a long time, she did not activate the chain.

"So steady?" Li Guanqi raised an eyebrow in admiration. "Then let's try this one!"

He smiled and took another picture.

"Summon, [Sacrifice the Demon Realm Lotus]!"

A bewitching and eerie lotus flower blooms in the center of the battlefield.

Surely you should do something about this by now.

As expected, that eerie lotus flower stimulated the Silver City Palace Master's nerves of patience.

She suddenly raised her hand, no longer suppressing her movements, and the graveyard of the Duel Disk lit up.

"Except for the [Grand Welcome] in the cemetery, its effect activates!"

"Target the [Sacrifice Demon Lotus] on your opponent's field, return that monster to their hand."

"Rabillins—Shekker!"

A beam of pure white light burst forth from the projection of the cemetery beneath her feet, precisely striking the eerie lotus flower in the center of the field. The lotus petals peeled away layer by layer, dissipated, and was ultimately banished from the field.

Li Guanqi was not surprised; it was exactly what he had expected.

"When the effect of your own Trap Card causes a monster to leave the field!" The Silver Castle Lord's voice rose, tinged with a triumphant air, "Let's begin the welcoming ceremony!"

"Chain, begin!" Ariana shouted from the crowd.

"Chain 1, the effect of [Ariana]!" the Silver City Lord shouted. "I draw a card from my deck, and then I can Special Summon a Fiend monster from my hand, or Set a Spell/Trap Card."

"Chain 2, [Rabillins' Labyrinth Welcome] from the Graveyard! Set this card face down on the field!"

Finally, with the loudest announcement, she pointed to the stunningly beautiful woman on the field.

"Chain Three! [Rabilins of the Silver City]!"

With a flick of her elegant figure, her long silver hair moved without wind, and [Rabillins] locked her provocative gaze on Li Guanqi.

"Choose a card from your opponent's hand or field and destroy it!"

A series of interconnected events, flowing smoothly and effortlessly.

Those who knew the ropes, such as Li Guanqi, Albus, and Xia Sheng, were all taken aback.

Is there something wrong with this chain sequence?

[Rabillins] is in the third chain?
He looked up, past the gradually solidifying, magnificent figure, and towards the Silver City Palace Master opposite him.

What is this person thinking?
Why put the "Silly Bay" effect last when we're using the "Huber Phantom" effect?
If he's a newbie [Silver City], he'll think the opponent doesn't know how to play. Obviously, the opponent isn't a newbie.

What a brilliant, open scheme!

This is asking him whether or not the "Hubert Phantom" is taking any action.

There are only two reasons for doing this.

One possibility is that the opponent doesn't think that [Silly White] can get good cards, but this is an epic [Silly White], so obviously not.

That leaves only the second option.

She's gambling.

Using the destructive effect of [Silly White] as bait, he lured his [Hubert Phantom] to attack.

In this way, the hand traps obtained from [Ariana] can be used.

Sell ​​off the boss and gamble on that one lucky break?
interesting.

Li Guanqi smiled slightly. This Palace Master of Silver City is really daring.

At that moment, the beautiful phantom of [Rabilins] floated in front of him. She bowed slightly, and a white-gloved hand gracefully reached out, aiming directly at his hand.

Destruction is imminent.

However, just as [Rabilins]'s finger was about to touch Li Guanqi's card.

A hand appeared out of thin air and precisely gripped her wrist.

This time it wasn't Li Guanqi.

[Rabilins] paused in her haughty movements, turned her head to look at [Hubel Phantom] behind her, and a look of astonishment appeared on her beautiful face.

The figure, a being that embodied both holiness and evil, with its empty and sorrowful eyes, was silently watching her.

“Chain Four,” Li Guanqi’s voice rang out calmly.

"Liberate the [Hubert Phantom] on the field and activate its effect."

The Palace Master of Silver City felt a jolt in his heart. His expression was neither good nor bad, like a gambler who had just learned the outcome.

"Force a change to your monster's effect," Li Guanqi said in a deep voice.

"Changed to: 'Your opponent destroys one of their hand, deck, or 'Hubel' monsters on the field.'"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of [Ubel Phantom] transformed into countless golden specks of light, like a dazzling galaxy, all of which flowed into [Rabilins]'s body!

"Well!"

[Rabilins] let out a muffled groan, her alluring body trembling violently, as if a remote control had been pressed.

She could feel an irresistible force compelling her to change her behavior. She wanted to destroy Li Guanqi's card, but her body was completely out of her control.

To the astonishment of the audience, Labyrinth's elegant white-gloved hand was raised high in an extremely awkward posture.

Then, facing Li Guanqi's deck—

Snapped!
A solid slap landed on his face.

The crisp sound silenced the entire dueling arena for a moment.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Zhang, a card from Li Guanqi's deck, was ejected and transformed into a phantom in mid-air before shattering.

That was the phantom of [Hubel-Elf].

"Thank you for the treat." Li Guanqi looked up, a playful smile on his face.

The Palace Master of Silver City did not respond, and the effect of dealing with Chain Two overshadowed [Welcome], followed by the crucial Chain One.

"[Ariana] Effects handling."

"Draw a card!" She quickly drew a card, glanced at it, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Remembering something, she quickly suppressed her smile and put on a completely calm demeanor.

"You really got it?" Li Guanqi frowned.

The person on the other end is clearly not good at pretending; their emotions are written all over their face. They must have drawn the card they wanted.

But what kind of card could it be?
What card is worth selling for its "Dumb White" card-boosting effect?

[G of proliferation]? [Primitive ecological life Nibiru]?
Li Guanqi sized up his opponent, then cautiously waved his hand and said, "Activate the effect of [Ubel Elf] being destroyed, Special Summon [Ubel] from the Deck!"

As soon as [Hubert] landed, before he could make his next move...

The Silver City Palace Master spoke with a pointed tone, his voice sarcastic: "The third monster, you see."

These words immediately boosted the morale of the entire city guard.

"Your Highness, the Palace Master, has won!"

"As expected of Ariana! So strong!"

Is it true? Did you really get The Meteorite?

Li Guanqi glanced suspiciously at the Palace Master of Silver City, feeling a sense of unease. He was now quite certain of a few things.

If the opponent is selling "Big White," their deck must contain some strange monsters. You need to ensure that the effect of that monster works.

The other side isn't pretending; they actually got it.

Without the special summoning of [Hubel], this monster is not [Proliferation G].

It can only be Nibiru?

For characters like [Gray Flow] and [Effect Masker], there's no way to stop him from using his hand traps.

He was genuinely curious and, for the first time, had the idea of ​​copying someone else's Silver City build.

Two things that share an abstract, architectural quality will attract each other.

Let's fight as Nibiru first.

After figuring it out, Li Guanqi gently tapped a card: "Activate the field spell, [Nightmare Throne]."

"Choose 1 Fiend-Type monster from your Deck that has 0 ATK and 0 DEF and add it to your hand or destroy it."

"I choose to destroy the [Hell Graveyard Creeper]."

With another destructive bang, the [Hell Graveyard Creeper] sank into the graveyard.

"Except for the [Hell Graveyard Creeper] in the Graveyard, activate its effect!"

Special Summon 1 Fiend-Type monster with 0 ATK and 0 DEF from your hand or Graveyard.

"Wake up!"

Li Guanqi slapped a card from his hand onto the duel disk and chanted loudly.

"【Hubel - Elf】!"

A dark vortex unfolded beside [Hubert], from which a pale arm emerged, followed by a figure resembling [Hubert] slowly rising.

That was also a female demon, carrying a trace of sacred remnant.

"Activate the effect of [Ubel Elf] to apply [Nightmare's Pain] face-down from the deck to the field."

As soon as Li Guanqi finished speaking, a card popped out of his deck and automatically covered the spell and trap area.

"This is the fourth monster." The Palace Master of Silver City tilted his head slightly, his chin forming a graceful arc, his tone conveying a sense of pressure that urged, "Come on, hurry up."

The city guards behind her tensed up, clenching their fists and not daring to breathe.

Just one more!
If only one more monster is summoned, the card in His Highness's hand can send this damned man and his disgusting monsters back to the dust of space!

Li Guanqi ignored her warnings and simply extended two fingers, gently swiping them across the card that had just been stamped.

"Open the cover card."

"Perpetual Magic - Nightmare's Pain!"

hum!
The card flipped, and the entire arena floor shook violently!

Countless dark green thorny vines burst forth from the ground, spreading wildly in all directions like giant, living pythons.

Sharp barbs gleamed coldly under the lights; they not only occupied the dueling arena but also attacked the spectators!
"what!"

"My hat!" "Ah—don't hit me!"

The audience in the front row erupted in chaos, with chickens and dogs flying everywhere, but the city guards, showing some professionalism, maintained their composure.

The Palace Master of Silver City glanced at the surrounding thorns, his brows furrowed.

This guy……

The things he summoned became increasingly spiritual.

"Let's fight!" Li Guanqi shouted in a deep voice, making everyone's hearts leap into their throats.

The battle had successfully commenced, and Arias frowned: "Damn it, only four thousand base points left, we can't hold them off." This reminder also alerted the city guards: "Right, the Palace Master only has four thousand base points left! We're doomed—"

"Ugh! That bastard only summoned four monsters and already reached Battle Rank!"

"Asshole!"

Ariana gazed at the Palace Master in the dueling arena, clutching her chest with worry: "Your Highness."

"Is it really [Nibiru]?" Li Guanqi was slightly disappointed to see that they had successfully entered the battle phase.

He quickly regained his usual seriousness and waved his hand forward: "[Hubel], attack [Rabilins]!"

The attack command was issued by [Hubel], but it did not move an inch.

Those heterochromatic eyes simply stared silently at [Rabilins] opposite them, an invisible whisper echoing in the arena.

Labyrinth's body trembled violently, the silver axe she gripped hummed, and a crimson glint was spreading wildly in her silver eyes as another will forcibly seized control of her body.

She let out a painful groan, and stiffly, inch by inch, raised the silver axe, stepping toward [Hubert].

"No!" Ariana cried out in alarm, "We can't attack that monster!"

Everyone understood that, under the influence of the thorny domain of [Nightmare of Pain], the combat damage caused by this axe blow would ultimately be transferred entirely to the Silver City Palace Master himself.

"No..." The hearts of the ten thousand city guards were in their throats as they watched helplessly as [Rabilins] struggled in agony, step by step toward self-destruction.

Li Guanqi, with his resistance at its peak, watched all of this with a blank expression.

But just as [Rabilins] stepped into the attack range...

A sharp, somewhat manic laugh suddenly echoed throughout the hall.

"Haha...hahahaha—"

The entire audience was stunned.

The crimson in Labyrinth's eyes faded slightly, and he regained some clarity, halting his death attempt.

"What?" Li Guanqi shifted his gaze from the monster to the Silver City Palace Master, who was laughing loudly with his head tilted back, and frowned.

"Finally! I've finally waited for this moment! The son-in-law of Silver City!" The Palace Master of Silver City suppressed his smile, a flush of excitement rising on his cheeks as he stared intently at Li Guanqi.

The entire audience was instantly invigorated.

The Palace Master of Silver City suddenly waved his hand: "Excluding the Graveyard [Treasure of Reincarnation], its effect is activated!"

"Revert the overridden [transaction rollback] back to the hand card."

Under the glow of a red light, the [Things Rewind] card, which was placed in the back row, bounced back into her hand.

The next second, she threw the card away.

"Send the [Fire Furnace] on the field to the Graveyard, discard the card [Things Roll Back] from your hand, activate its effect, and set [Rabillins Labyrinth Welcome Welcome Big Welcome] from your Deck to the field."

[Background] Upon entering the cemetery, the audience's eyes lit up, only to be quickly dampened by Li Guanqi's enthusiasm.

"You can only copy the [Great Welcome] item from the cemetery."

[Virus] is pinned to the field by [Red Restart], [Small Welcome] returns to the field, two [Big Welcome] are added, one of which is banished, leaving only one [Big Welcome] in the graveyard.

【Destroyer God Sabala】can destroy the covered 【virus】, but we are currently in combat, so the timing is not right.

"A grand welcome is enough!" The Silver City Palace Master's lips curled into a smile, barely concealing his excitement. "Pay half the base points!"

Base score: 4000 → 2000
"Except for the [things rollback] of the cemetery, the target is [great welcome]."

"Gain the same effect as that card when it was activated!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the illusory gate of the Silver City behind her roared open once more.

"We're opening the doors to welcome guests!"

"Come forth, my faithful servant—[Ariana, the Summoner of the Silver City]!"

Pink light emanated from the doorway, and a girl dressed in an exquisite maid outfit with long pink hair gracefully stepped out, bowing slightly to the entire room.

At the same time, another maid on the field, Ariana, bowed and returned to the city, flying back into the palace master's hands.

"In this moment!"

"Activate the effect of [Ariana], draw a card, and then you can Special Summon 1 Fiend-Type monster from your hand or Set 1 Spell/Trap Card."

"Activate the effect of [Fire Furnace] in the Graveyard, and Special Summon this card."

The fire rose from the cemetery, and the stove reappeared.

"What exactly do you want?" Li Guanqi declared villainously. "At a time like this, nothing you smoke will help."

Your life has vanished like the wind.

The Palace Master of Silver City interrupted him with a loud laugh: "Hahaha—that's not necessarily true, the world of duels is very vast!"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Xia Sheng, Albus, and the dazed Asteria couldn't help but have their eyes light up.

In fairy tales, this is what the protagonist says before winning.

The main score of Baiyincheng Palace is 2:0 against Baiyincheng's son-in-law.
The Silver City Palace Master placed his fingertip on the top of the deck: "[Ariana] Effect reset, draw—card!"

She glanced at it briefly, then picked out the card that [Ariana] had drawn and held it high.

"After that, Special Summon—"

With a deafening roar, a powerful gust of wind erupted, and a bright beam of light exploded behind her.

"What monster?" Li Guanqi retreated cautiously, braving the storm.

The person in front of me suddenly unleashed an aura similar to that of President Hiba summoning the [Giant Warrior]—

Laugh wildly.

"Hahaha!" The Palace Master of Silver City struck the pose from the [Great Welcome] card and laughed wildly.

"From the other side of the boundless universe, crossing the barriers of time and space."

boom--! ! !
"Descend here!"

Dark lightning bolts struck down from the magic circle, crashing heavily in front of her.

"【The Demon King of the Heavens, the Missing Heavy Child Borus】!"

As the light and storm subsided, a colossal figure stood silently, emitting a deep, powerful roar.

[The Demon King of the Heavens, missing his heavy son Boles].

10 stars, Light attribute, Demon race.

Attack: 3100
"【The Demon King of the Heavens is missing the heavy son Borus】?" Li Guanqi frowned.

"This card can only be activated if it is Special Summoned from the hand!" The Silver Castle Lord's gaze turned fierce as he pointed towards Li Guanqi's battlefield. "It does not target—"

"Remove one monster and two Spell/Trap Cards from your opponent's field and Graveyard!"

“Three cards excluding those for specific individuals?!” Li Guanqi was shocked to hear this.

"You've lost! Son-in-law—" The Palace Master of Silver City waved his arm down.

[The Demon King of the Heavens, missing his heavy son Borus] unleashed chaotic light, engulfing Li Guanqi's battlefield.

The Nightmare of Pain, the Nightmare of the Throne, and the Ubel Elf were twisted by the power of the rules and annihilated in the white light. Finally, a violent explosion rang out.

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, the smoke of battle gradually dissipated.

Li Guanqi's battlefield emerged from the smoke, and of the original two in front and two behind, only one [Yu Beier] remained.

The Palace Master of Silver City raised her proud little head.

The ten thousand city guards paused for a moment, then took a deep breath in unison and erupted in a boiling shout: "Whoa—!"

"Aaaaaah—Your Highness the Palace Master!!!" The brainwashed fan Ariana was going crazy.

"So strong!!!"

"See that, son-in-law! This is the true master of Silver City!"

"Supremely powerful! Supremely beautiful!"

Albus gazed at the dueling arena and exclaimed, "What a brilliant strategy! The son-in-law of Silver City is about to lose."

Xia Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

The exclusion of [Nightmare of Pain], [Nightmare of the Throne], and [Elf of Yubel] together is too detrimental. Even if the main character can still unleash their power, if they are not defeated after passing the core battle phase, and [Silver City] survives five in the front and four in the back, it will be difficult to fight them later.

The Silver City is incredibly powerful.

Xia Sheng wasn't the only one with this idea; Li Guanqi did too.

To be honest, when the [Red Reboot] was completed, he thought this round was a piece of cake. At least based on his experience on Earth, eating one of these things meant there was no chance of winning.

But he never expected this.

The Silver City Palace Master has a hidden trump card: [Battle-Rank Maid Raid the Demon King]. He has three copies of it, excluding those with a specific target. It's terrifying.

"Very strong." Li Guanqi smiled with relief, offering a heartfelt compliment.

So, Silver City can be this powerful and magnificent.

This is the Palace Master of Silver City.

The Palace Master of Silver City was very satisfied with the audience's reaction, enjoying everyone's gaze, until a cold voice rang out.

“But—” Li Guanqi said calmly, “it’s a pity.”

The Palace Master of Silver City's smile froze, and the others all cast questioning glances at him.

Li Guanqi slowly discarded one card, then slapped down another, saying, "As a price, I'll send the card [Sacrifice Demon Lotus] to the Graveyard."

"Activate the quick-attack spell—!"

With a loud bang, the unstable golden halo exploded in his palm.

“【Super Fusion】!”

The Palace Master of Silver City suddenly widened his eyes, and the laughter around him abruptly stopped.

Several familiar faces even instinctively took a half-step back.

"Super super super super super"

"The son-in-law's [Super Fusion] is coming! Run!"

However, it was too late.

"Boom—!" A violent storm swept over everyone present, and the audience's consciousness suddenly sank, their brains feeling like they were being stirred into a paste with a stick.

The intense dizziness caused all ten thousand city guards to collapse to the ground, emitting various wails and screams: "Waaah—don't melt me—!"

At the center of the storm, Li Guanqi looked at the Silver City Palace Master and slowly said, "Use [Hubel] and all the effect monsters on the field as materials."

A halo of light, resembling that of liberation, illuminated and enveloped [Silver Princess], [Rabilins], [Ariana], [Fire-Blowing Furnace], and […].

"Fusion Summon!"

"Born! [Hubert - Guardian of Eternal Love]!"

【Hubel - Guardian of Eternal Love】drifted slowly from the sky to the Lord of Silver City.

The Palace Master of Silver City was stunned for a long time before finally taking a deep breath and exhaling softly.

There was no screaming, no anger or resentment; she simply watched Li Guanqi quietly from afar.

"This card can only be activated when it is Fusion Summoned," Li Guanqi said softly but clearly. "Inflict damage to your opponent equal to 500 for each monster used as Fusion Material for this card."

As the announcement was made, the Guardian of Eternal Love raised his hand and fired a cannon at the Palace Master of Silver City.

"Boom—" The scorching flames, amplified by the storm, engulfed the Silver City Palace Master and spread throughout the entire dueling arena.

The red light effect of a rapidly decreasing health bar flashed continuously in mid-air.

【answer--】

Silver City Palace Master's base score: 2000 → 0
The basic score stopped changing, stopping at a zero that makes one's breath catch in their throat.

Then, the familiar announcement voice, which I had heard countless times, rang out.

[End of the second round]

【The winner is】

[Red Team]
