Chapter 440 Squad Roster Confirmed
"The Underworld Team?"

Albus frowned slightly, repeating the name with a strange tone.

This name doesn't sound very auspicious; it's niche and abnormal.

He looked around and shrugged helplessly. "Just the three of us? Xia Sheng, the event announcement clearly states that it's five people per team."

"Where can we find two more?"

Xia Sheng had already thought of a solution, and said calmly, "The supervisor and the Heavenly Demoness should be able to find the time."

"Them?" Albus was somewhat surprised.

Those two are incredibly busy people, with countless affairs to attend to. Would you really ask them to accompany you to a duel event?
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Sheng's personal terminal on his wrist beeped softly, and a virtual light screen popped up.

The two took off their helmets and found that the message was from Shen Shen, brief and powerful:
"Return to the control room immediately! The new card has been released, and Albus's new form is ridiculously powerful!"

"A new form?" Albus's gaze sharpened.

how many years?

My turn... has it finally come again?
"go!"

He let out a low growl, turned around first, and his movement was so cool it created a gust of wind.

As Acrisia watched his impatient back, she couldn't help but smile. She exchanged a glance with Natsumi and quickly followed after him.

The three of them walked through a long, gloomy, necromantic corridor, and the skeletal door to the control room slid open silently in front of them.

"coming?"

Upon seeing the three of them, Shen Shen immediately waved with a smile, "Come and see, your new cards are an absolute surprise!"

Albus rushed forward, his gaze instantly drawn to the card floating in the center of the light screen.

On the card is a version of himself he has never seen before.

No longer a somber black tone, no longer a depressing, down-on-his-luck traveler.

He was a young man with a full head of long, silver-white hair, carrying a hint of melancholy.

Those eyes no longer held confusion and pain, but rather a steadfastness and brilliance like stars. (Self-filtered)

This...is it me?
Albus was stunned, momentarily lost in thought.

"Let's see how it goes," Xia Sheng whispered to him.

Albus snapped back to reality, his gaze shifting downwards. When he saw the first line of effect description, his pupils constricted sharply.

【White Dragon's Fall】, 4-star, Dark attribute, Dragon race.

1800/0
This card name is used in the rules as "Albus's Fallen Heir".

Same name according to the rules?
This is not good news. According to the duel rules, you can only bring a maximum of three cards with the same name. If the rules are that the same card is the same, then the original "Albus's Fallen" and this new card can only be played a maximum of three times.

It started with bad news, so why did the supervisor still say it was good?
Albus continued to look at the results, his eyebrows suddenly rising.

"This effect"

What does it mean? You can activate this effect by sending 1 monster with the name "Albus's Fallen" from your Extra Deck to the Graveyard, and then Special Summon this card from your hand?
Huh? What is this effect trying to convey?
Can I play this card without consuming any resources on the field or in my hand? And can I even add an extra card? And adding an extra card from the graveyard costs nothing and won't be negated?

He suppressed his pounding heart, his breathing became heavy, and continued reading.

②: This effect can be activated if this card is Normal or Special Summoned. Special Summon 1 "Excalibur" monster from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard.

"Boom!" A thunderclap exploded in Albus's mind.

Special Summoning Exlicia from your hand, deck, and graveyard?!

This means that whenever he appears, Axelcia will be by his side, no matter where she is! Unless she is sent to another dimension.

It doesn't occupy a Normal Summon slot, and you can summon another card from your deck after stacking one; it's almost unbelievably strong.

Albus opened his mouth, but his throat was dry, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Is this really me?

Albus was gripped by self-doubt, but he couldn't help but smile.

"Where's mine? Where's mine?" Acyria also came over, seeing her new card.

Shen Shen smiled and enlarged another card, "Don't rush, yours is just as powerful, and it's a perfect match for Albus's new form."

Magic Card - [Akrysia the Black Dragon] lights up.

"A Synchro Monster?!" Exria's eyes widened; she hadn't expected to have a Synchro form.

Although, among the four Saintess monsters, she (original skin) is the only one who is not a modded monster.

Fortunately, she had visited Xiangjian Peak and obtained the [Power of Adjustment], which allows her to transform into [White Saintess Acrisia].

“Albus, listen to me,” Acricia said, her eyes burning. “First, use your new card to Special Summon a [Branded Dragon], then Summon my [White Saintess Acricia] from your deck, and then Synchro Summon it.”

Albus's gaze turned serious: "Then release [Acrecia], Special Summon [Xuanyuan], and Synchro Summon [Acrecia the Black Dragon]!"

"[Black Dragon Acricia] excludes herself again, Special Summon [Caltesia], Fusion Summon"

He went on and on about the maneuvers, while Acrecia, standing to the side, narrowed her disdainful eyes.

The man in front of me was actually thinking of adjusting the stars with [Xuanyuan] the first thing.

Looking at the two new cards, Xia Sheng felt reassured.

With these two trump cards, their chances of winning the Dream Collapse mission have increased even further.

He looked at the excited Albus and slowly said, "【Herrscher Dragon】 can send a Level 6 or higher Light/Dark monster from the Graveyard, and 【Separation Mark】 can Special Summon a monster from the Graveyard to the opponent's field."

"Does that mean you can give any 6-star Light/Dark monster to your opponent?"

"Theoretically, it's possible, but what are you going to give to the other side?" Albus asked, puzzled.

Xia Sheng flipped open his [Mechanical Puppet] deck, picked out a card and handed it over, saying, "This one is [Mechanical Puppet - Nightmare]."

"【Mechanical Puppet - Nightmare】? What's the effect?" Albus took the card and said softly, "You can't just give it to your opponent's monsters."

As he spoke, he glanced at the effect panel for the [Mechanical Puppet - Nightmare].

It clearly says -

[The turn this card is Special Summoned, you cannot Special Summon monsters other than those with "Goblin" in their name.]

It takes effect immediately upon landing and cannot be chained to negate cards such as [Forbidden Grail].

It takes effect immediately upon landing, and even if it is sent to the graveyard by cards like "Forbidden Drop," the self-restriction remains.

Top-notch dissertation defense!

"Hiss—" Albus and Acyria gasped at the same time, leaning back slightly and looking at Natsumi as if they were looking at Alub.

"Are you even a living being? How could you have such dark and evil thoughts?"

Xia Sheng coughed twice awkwardly and said, "I once saw a duel, a researcher named Karl did this when he was fighting against the Pharaoh. I remember it very well."

“Karl.” Albus murmured the name, a strange feeling washing over him.

I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before, but I can't quite place it.

Sending Nightmare to the Graveyard with [Hyperion] and then Special Summoning it to the opponent's field with [Separate] is such an evil and skillful tactic.

It looks like Aruba.
He has to admit that this move is really powerful; he can't wait to use it right now.

Hahaha.
Throw a Nightmare at the opponent, and they'll be ecstatic!

“It definitely has potential.” Shen Shen thought for a moment and said, “I’ve seen that event. I can only join the team with the Heavenly Demoness, so we can’t both participate. You can call us when you’re doing a raid.”

"Xia Sheng, you're the team leader, so follow up on this."

"Underworld Team, victory is assured!"

As soon as she shouted, Albus, Exeria, and the Heavenly Witch raised their hands in agreement: "Oh—victory is certain!"

Xia Sheng nodded slightly, but his expression was very serious.

The collaboration event is a level-based event, and the map is a one-to-one recreation of the Dream Collapse world.

The first person to reach the target location is the winner and can receive many rewards. Among them, the team-customized skin is the most anticipated by Metaverse users, as this is the first time the League has offered such a reward.

Five people wearing custom-made skins walked down the street, looking very stylish.

This is how it is viewed from the perspective of an ordinary person, and it's very appealing.

Xia Sheng still felt uneasy. It was too strange that Dream Collapse was collaborating with the Alliance at this time and even using his own map as the game map.

On the other hand, Li Guanqi felt the same way.

Not just him, the entire Dark Division is currently bombarded with news, and the supercomputing ring keeps vibrating.

Let's see what netizens think first.

Li Guanqi teleported back to his personal space and opened his live stream room after a long time. Before he even started broadcasting, he saw a barrage of comments.

"Visiting graves."

"Visiting graves."

One grave every day.

"Hey streamer, come back quickly! I'll steal electric bikes to support you!" "He's probably dead."

"Visiting graves."

Li Guanqi's face darkened upon seeing this.

It's only been three or four months since I last logged in, is it really necessary to curse someone like this?
They'll behave themselves after I go through all the graves once.

He casually clicked on the live stream, the camera lit up, and a listless face appeared on the screens of hundreds of viewers.

The barrage of "visiting the grave" comments in the live stream abruptly stopped, remaining silent for a full three seconds.

Three seconds later, the screen exploded.

"Holy crap! Honey, come out and see what I've caught!"

"It's alive! It's a live streamer!"

"Who initiated [Monster Resurrection]?!"

"Are you still alive, broadcaster? Say something so your sons can hear you."

Li Guanqi leaned back in his chair and lazily yawned: "Squeak."

As soon as the sound ended, the screen was filled with comments.

"Ahhh! The streamer is still alive! I thought you'd been gang-raped by the Goddess Legion!"

"Did you start a new live stream just for me? What an interesting man."

"Seeing the recent activities, the streamer can't sit still anymore?"

"So that's why they started streaming, they just wanted me to be their teammate. This is really difficult. How am I supposed to refuse Teacher Shangyu's invitation?"

"Get out of the way, I need to pee and wake up the people upstairs!"

"Hey streamer, can you take me flying with you? I'll do anything for you."

The next barrage was filled with comments asking to team up and be carried.

"Are you all going to participate?" Li Guanqi asked casually.

The barrage of comments quickly surged, and through word of mouth and sharing, the number of viewers in the live stream grew exponentially, jumping from a few hundred to over ten thousand.

Is there a reason not to participate?

"This is the first time the League of Legends has released custom team skins, aren't all the streamers going to be going crazy for them?"

"I will prove in this event who is the number one team in Biantana!"

"That must be Shang Gou's team. That guy found five celebrities to form a team, a true galactic battleship."

"It doesn't seem as powerful as the chairman's team, which I heard is planning to spend billions."

"Does the streamer have a team yet? Please send me the team roster so I can give up."

Li Guanqi tore open a bag of potato chips, stuffed one into his mouth, and mumbled, "The main package hasn't been filled yet."

These words caused an uproar in the live stream.

"The streamer doesn't have a team yet?!"

"Me! Me! Pick me! I can grind like crazy!"

"Being a streamer's teammate is much safer than being his audience member; at least you won't get overtaken."

"Take care of the kids, I'll just follow along from behind, I definitely won't hold them back."

Li Guanqi glanced at the mob of people who could only shout "666" and then opened his friend list.

There are only two IDs in the long list.

Feel the despair.

【The Palace Master of Silver City】.

An indescribable sense of desolation welled up in my heart.

His account identity is a bit sensitive, so finding a few reliable teammates isn't an easy task.

Just as he was lost in thought, an invitation message popped up gently in the lower right corner of the screen.

The Palace Master of Silver City has sent you a team invitation.

"Huh?" Li Guanqi was taken aback.

The viewers in the live stream had sharp eyes and immediately became spectators.

"Holy crap! The Palace Master sent me a party invitation!"

Is this love?

"What party? Tell me more! A friend of mine wants to know!"

Li Guanqi turned on privacy mode and then sent a message to the Palace Master: "You just said you were going to get a skin on your own, and now you're dragging me into it?"

"Aren't you afraid I'll impersonate you?"

The Palace Master replied instantly: "One thing at a time, one argument at a time, but we are all one family in Silver City."

Upon seeing the word "family," Li Guanqi paused slightly in the hand holding the potato chips.

This guy……

Just as a warm feeling was rising in his heart, the palace master sent another message.

"If we weren't short-staffed... I wouldn't have chosen you!"

In Silver City, there are only four capable fighters: her, Arias, Ariana, and Ariana. The Demon Statue is for guarding the house, and the furniture like the Fire-Blowing Furnace won't engage in duels.

After all the calculations, we're still one short.

As for the 10,000 city guards, they were expelled from the "family" by the Palace Master after being scared off by an epic [Super Fusion] last time.

"Give me a straight answer, whether you're coming or not." Seeing that he hadn't responded for a long time, the palace master urged.

Li Guanqi chuckled and typed back, "Okay."

"I am the captain!" the Palace Master of Silver City immediately emphasized solemnly.

Li Guanqi typed a line of affectionate text on the screen: "Okay, okay, you're the captain, you're the palace master, you're the boss."

He clicked "agree," and a team interface immediately popped up.

Team Name: [Her Highness the Palace Master's Knights]

Members: [Lord of the Silver City], [Arias], [Ariana], [Ariana], [Son-in-law of the Silver City]

Team declaration: "Your Highness, supreme strength! Supreme beauty!"

Li Guanqi's eye twitched. This was less of a team and more of a fan club for the Palace Master.

Soon, in the team channel, Arias tagged him: "Would it be convenient for you to come over and discuss tactics? I'll send you the address."

Just as Li Guanqi was about to reply "no problem," and had even typed out the word "no," a peculiar vibration came from his wrist.

It wasn't a public message from the secret department; it was encrypted communication within the group.

"Wait a moment, I'll get back to you," he replied to Arias.

He then, while still logged into the game, removed his helmet and activated the supercomputing ring on his wrist.

A message suddenly popped up.

[It has been decided that the Shenwu Department will assign three teams to conduct offline follow-up for this Dream Collapse event.]

The event map is a one-to-one mapping to reality. Key locations in the real world can be synchronized to the linked game account. In a five-person team, the team wins as long as one member reaches the finish line. Offline operations undoubtedly offer a huge information advantage.

The department's task is to follow up and prevent any terrorist attacks, not to strive for victory.

After reading the first part of the message, Li Guanqi felt a jolt of unease, a sense of foreboding rising within him.

His gaze slowly moved downwards, and sure enough, he saw his name on the roster of one of the squads.

This is not finished.

When he saw the list of teammates assigned to him by the department, his face turned completely grim.

Group 2, Department 5, No. 77.

Mickey, Group 2, Department 5.

Le Tong, Group 2, Department 5.

as well as……

Group 1, Department 5, Tang Xin.

He wouldn't believe that the Doctor hadn't discussed this roster with the Spirit Control Division.

Tang Xinzhen was selected.

It's clear that Dream Collapse really wants that [Mental Collapse] card. Since they didn't get the data in the Elvira online event last time, they're not putting on an act this time.
