My anime-style card deck is fine!

It doesn't take long to build a basic bronze deck.

"...Wait, what's with that expression?!" Wu Shanyu also noticed Amon's expression and her face changed drastically: "Stop it! How can you have such a heartless thought as to study and make cards while out having fun!"

Wushan Yu shook Amon wildly.

The attempt was to extricate Amon from his fatal addiction to card addiction—a fatal addiction referring to his fatal addiction to Wushan Rain.

"What a mess!"

Amon's thoughts were instantly disrupted, and he quickly broke free from Wushanyu.

"...What I said is true. My other decks are too specialized, so when faced with this kind of head-to-head duel, I can't come up with a usable deck."

Amon helplessly shrugged.

"Don't you usually make any miscellaneous cards?" Wu Shanyu blinked, her lips twitching, because she had thought of a whole series of possibilities...

"Huh? What are miscellaneous cards?"

Amon's innocent question confirmed Wushan Yu's guess.

She couldn't help but take a deep breath, causing certain parts of her body to ripple and attract the attention of many people around her.

Amon didn't care about that. If it really came down to comparing sizes, Uzaki Hana was the undisputed champion for all time (currently)!

Amon is currently worried because he is used to giving his all in duels, a habit he developed in preparation for the ultimate college entrance exam.

Although the performances and duels at the temple fair were impromptu.

However, Amon's habits prevented him from entering the battlefield unprepared. Apart from [Hiratsuka Shizuka], there were no other teenage girls available for the battlefield, and [Katsura Kotonoha]'s effect was only a last resort for finishing off opponents when they reached the kill threshold.

As for the giants, needless to say, the reasons have already been explained.

"If all else fails, I'll have to use [Mikasa]... I can't exactly summon the Pure Titans, can I?" Amon suddenly realized that even though the Pure Titans were brainless, why couldn't he do it?

His deck is called the [Innocent Giant] deck!

Not the Founding Titan, not the Intelligent Titan... but the Immaculate Titan!

The Pure Giant is the true core of his deck and the ultimate element for Amon to activate the Rumbling—whether it's the Survey Corps, the Eldian Queen, or the Nine Great Titans, these are all the basic conditions for Amon to activate the Rumbling!

"The round has begun, I'm going in."

Amon abandoned Wushanyu and jogged onto the field.

"Huh? No, you just ran away like that, so irresponsibly?" Wu Shanyu noticed that A Meng had just dropped a nonsensical remark and then went on stage on his own.

I was about to get angry, but when I thought about how Amon didn't make any cards, I immediately calmed down.

Humming a little tune, she walked happily to Amon's side.

Wu Shanyu held a card in her hand, glancing at Amon next door out of the corner of her eye—although she didn't care about what had just happened, she was happy to cause Amon a little trouble!

Ideally, we could eliminate Amon directly!

"Oh~! Amon, Wushanyu! You're here too!" Ai Ke was standing not far away and was very happy to see Amon and Wushanyu.

However, neither of them paid any attention to her because...

"Dang~!"

The gong was struck.

As a new round begins, some people leave the stage, while others, like Amon, intend to join the battle.

A new batch of followers has been summoned.

The summons from Shanwu Mountain came faster than anyone else's!

In her rebellion against Amon, this woman was completely focused, as if the world had been stripped away—almost the instant the gong rang, she summoned the cards and commanded her minions without hesitation…

"Attack Amon!"

"Attack Amon!"

They spoke almost in unison.

Ai Ke, who was prepared, and Wu Shan Yu, who was summoned at the exact moment, exchanged a glance and immediately noticed the certainty in each other's eyes—to teach Amon a lesson!

They are comrades-in-arms!

"That's terrifying, but unfortunately, you've made a mistake."

Amon never expected that before he even had a chance to summon them, he would encounter such two brilliant and talented individuals.

Fortunately, he didn't summon any followers.

Or perhaps he summoned a follower, but the one that actually appeared wasn't...

"Show everyone the [Chikina Mashiro] in my hand!" Amon showed off his wife to everyone, then without hesitation, he drew another card and placed it face down on the field.

"Because of Mashiro's effect, I can set this card face-down and activate it immediately!"

"【The Broken Wall of Mary】!"

"With this card, I can activate it continuously, once per turn. I can summon Unsullied Giant tokens on the field, the same number of which are my minions!"

"—It's time for us to make our return, giants!"

Chapter 227: The Giant: I'm in!

The Wall of Mary!

In the world of Attack on Titan, the wall represents isolation and blockade, separating humans from Titans. The story begins with the damage to this legendary wall, and the Titans, who had been isolated from the world for a hundred years, reappear before the world.

Attracted by the people inside the wall, an endless stream of giants emerged from the hole!

The core concept is based on this story.

The card created by Amon has the special ability to continuously Special Summon Giant tokens—making it a card with an excellent effect!

However, this card was originally a building card that required a [wall], and the destruction of the wall was used as the activation button. In this duel where it can only be used once per turn, Amon should not have been able to use it.

However, real duels don't always adhere to such strict rules and wordplay.

While in terms of the duel itself, there was naturally no wall, and of course, no colossal Titan peeking out was present.

But it doesn’t matter!

because……

"Boom..." A dull sound echoed in the air.

A giant hand suddenly clung to the wall beside Amon, and with the help of the arm, a giant that was fifteen meters tall, more than ten meters taller than the low wall that Amon was standing on, suddenly appeared!

No, not just one...

Because more than 30 people participated in this competition, although the previous field was cleared after the explosive attack in the round before last, the card master is still a card master. Even if the plant is allowed to use one card per turn, there are more than 30 minions on the field in just two rounds!

—One of them specifically named a dueling-minded loli.

This was a chaotic battle with nearly fifty minions, which instantly resulted in the exchange of fifty more giants!

The giants easily crossed the low wall erected by the card masters.

Just like in the story, those giants entered the isolated world through the broken Wall of Mary and launched an attack on everyone.

"There is indeed no [wall] I need in the dueling arena."

Amon was somewhat smug. A low wall is still a wall. He only needs to kick away a few clods of dirt, which is also a form of destruction: "Anyway, it's still a wall. Just because it's not inside the arena doesn't mean it's not outside the dueling arena!"

Is it really okay to do it this way?!

Of course!

Because the essence of ritual cards is [behavior], there was no such category as ritual cards initially. It was only later that people needed to upgrade 'ordinary people' to 'athletes', and what was needed between the two was 'training'—and the result of refining the training process is ritual cards!

Amon has simply returned to his original form as a card master.

That is, the card master himself personally participates in the duel and becomes part of the duel ritual!

"—!!"

Wu Shanyu stared in astonishment as the giant passed by her, and suddenly felt her mouth go dry.

She had seen Amon's giants before.

In fact, I just saw Amon beat up a hero otaku from the Sakura Country with a giant this morning, but... not all giants are the same!

Compared to the intelligent giants, each with their own unique characteristics and abilities.

What truly impressed her and Eko were those ordinary, unassuming Pure Titans—for no other reason than simply…

The roar of the Immaculate Giants gathered together.

The roar of the giants was awe-inspiring!

"I rely on!"

"So many, and so big! And they look so hard!"

The crowd, and even the card players around them, were stunned by the appearance of the giant. Bubble, Glasses Girl, and Nan Ruyin, who were mixed in with the crowd, subconsciously stood up. As victims of the giant in the final college entrance examination, they had the deepest understanding of the giant.

No, what is Amon thinking?

Using Titans here? Didn't you consider that Titans attack by [eating]?

Using a Giant deck in a place like this, you might get thrown out by the organizers for interfering with the celebration the next minute, right?

However, compared to Nan Ruyin's worries and the panic of the contestants, the surrounding audience was mostly excited - the temple fair's celebratory duel should have more tricks up its sleeve!

"Hahahaha!!!" Amon laughed triumphantly.

He didn't think that much about it at all.

I just happened to have a Giant deck on hand, so I used it!

Watching the giants slowly and steadily march forward, their sheer numbers creating an undulating wall of flesh and blood, they pressed in on their followers with unhurried pace.

The immense pressure emanating from the giant caused the surrounding card players and minions to retreat in fear.

It immediately made Amon feel refreshed.

—How can this not be considered the rumble of the earth?
