Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

The next day.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! National Finals have come to their final day.

At the main stage of the A City International Convention and Exhibition Center, spotlights illuminated the arena as if it were daytime.

On the huge circular screen, the decks, graveyards, and banished zones of both players are projected in real time.

In the commentary booth, Guan Daxiao and Wang Duoduo sat side by side, and the barrage of comments in front of them had become a sea of ​​white.

"Dear viewers, welcome to the Yu-Gi-Oh! National Invitational Tournament Finals hosted by the Land of Light!"

Colonel Guan's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

After three days of fierce competition, only two of the nation's top duelists remain!

"That's right!"

Wang Duoduo chimed in, "On one side is Ke Jie, the world Go champion and a cross-disciplinary duelist!"

The camera cuts to the players' bench on the left.

Ke Jie wore his signature black-rimmed glasses, his expression focused and calm.

His fingers rested lightly on the deck, as if touching a chess piece about to be placed.

"The other contestant's ID is Loser_NoMore!"

The camera cuts to the right.

He was a slender boy wearing a baseball cap pulled low, obscuring his expression.

His deck was neatly arranged on the duel disk, the edges of the card sleeves worn raw.

"Loser_NoMore,"

Colonel Guan read the ID aloud. "No more failures. There must be a story behind this ID."

"And today," Wang Duoduo raised her voice, "no matter the story, the battle for the championship begins!"

The screen was flooded with comments.

"Ke Jie! Keep it up! A Go champion is a champion even when playing cards!"

"Loser_NoMore! Charge!"

"Shut up, Colonel Guan! Stop gloating!"

On the ring, Ke Jie and the boy stood up at the same time, facing each other.

The referee raised his hand to signal: "Duel!"

"duel!"

Two voices echoed in the venue, and the health counter lit up simultaneously.

8000LP.

In the first round, Ke Jie attacked first.

He is a Go champion; strategic planning is second nature to him.

Start with three face-down cards and one monster in face-down defense position, then end your turn.

"Ke Jie's starting shot was very solid."

Wang Duoduo commented.

The boy looked at the three face-down cards and the three cards in his hand, and remained silent for two seconds.

"Draw a card".

His movement as he drew the card was very light, lacking the dramatic flair of Yang Qian's signature divine draw.

He glanced down at it briefly, then began his presentation.

After a smooth combo, two Link monsters were on the field with a combined attack power of 4200.

"pretty!"

Colonel Guan slammed his fist on the table. "Loser_NoMore's gameplay was incredibly smooth!"

"This development has clearly been meticulously crafted!"

Ke Jie pushed up his glasses, his expression unchanged.

His card remained completely still.

No blocking, no scams, no chain operations.

The live chat started flooding with comments again.

"Not healthy? This isn't healthy?"

"Ke Jie is betting that the opponent can't break through!"

"Confidence!"

Without hesitation, the boy commanded the monster to launch an attack.

The first monster collided with the monster guarding the inside.

In the instant of the flip, a monster with a "Last Word" ability that triggers upon being sent to the graveyard was sent there, while Kojai's life points remained unchanged.

Immediately afterwards, Ke Jie opened the first card.

Divine Shield - Reflecting Mirror Force.

"Attack the propaganda pit!"

Colonel Guan exclaimed, "Ke Jie is fishing! He deliberately let the other side set up their attack, all for this moment!"

But the boy seemed to have anticipated this.

He activated the quick-attack spell.

I will use my body as a shield.

Pay 1500LP, invalidate and destroy the Divine Shield.

At the cost of 1500 LP, two monsters were saved.

The attack continued. The second monster attacked directly, and Koje's health dropped significantly.

"Loser_NoMore played very decisively!"

Wang Duoduo exclaimed, "He completely saw through Ke Jie's plan!"

"but,"

Colonel Guan added, "Just now, I used my body as a shield to take away his crucial life-saving ability."

"He needs to be more careful in the upcoming games."

The rounds progressed through repeated offense and defense.

Ke Jie's cemetery resources are piling up, while the boy's hand is getting smaller and smaller.

The two players' health points decreased alternately, as if they were engaged in a war of attrition.

"This is a true top-tier showdown!"

Colonel Guan continued explaining.

"Every step is calculated, every operation hides a hidden agenda!"

Finally, in the tenth round, Ke Jie completed his final strategy.

He has a powerful monster with 3000 attack power standing on the field.

Two Continuous Trap cards in the back row, and a Scumbag card revealed in hand.

The resources in the cemetery are enough to start another round.

On the other hand, the boy only had one card left in his hand, and the board was empty.

Health points are down to 1000.

1000 points.

Not even a fraction of the attack power of a single monster.

"Loser_NoMore is in dire straits!"

Wang Duoduo's voice was tense, "I only have one card left in my hand, no monsters on the field, and only 1000 life points."

"As for Ke Jie, with a monster with 3000 attack power and a hand full of scum, he'll deliver a fatal blow next turn!"

"Unless he draws a Reversal Card!"

Colonel Guan stared at the screen. "But judging from the deck's construction, the probability..."

He didn't finish speaking.

The chat fell silent.

Everyone could see that the duel seemed to have been decided.

"Loser_NoMore......has already tried his best."

"Making it to the finals is already a great achievement."

"Losing to the world champion is not shameful."

"Is this the same script again...? Does 'loser' mean always losing?"

On the stage, the boy lowered his head, his expression unreadable.

His finger rested on the top of the deck, but he didn't draw a card immediately.

He suddenly remembered something.

Two months ago, the preliminary rounds took place.

He was eliminated in the first round, and his deck was ridiculed by his opponents as "a poor man's ragtag army".

One month ago, the revival match.

He used this deck to fight his way up from the loser's bracket, with every match being an elimination game.

Every time, someone says he won't win.

Each time, he would turn the card he had pulled out over and tell them—

"My turn is not over yet."

The boy took a deep breath and pinched the card at the top of the deck with his fingers.

Then, he closed his eyes.

"I have faith in my deck."

He said softly.

Below the arena, in the VIP spectator area.

Yang Qian sat in a corner, her baseball cap pulled low, holding a bucket of popcorn in her arms.

Hiroshi Nagano and Fan Guo flanked him like two bodyguards.

"Director Yang,"

Guo Fan lowered his voice, "Doesn't this kid look a bit like...you back then?"

Yang Qian didn't answer, but simply tossed a piece of popcorn into her mouth and chewed it slowly.

On the stage, the boy suddenly opened his eyes.

"Draw a card!"

The moment his finger flipped over the card, the large screen on the main stage gave a close-up shot.

【The Sealed Exodia】—Head.

The live chat exploded instantly!

"It's here! I feel the bond!"

"I've seen this episode in the anime before!"

"Impossible! The probability of drawing a key card in such a desperate situation—"

The boy looked at the card in his hand.

Then he smiled.

"So, you really were waiting for me."

The comments section went crazy.

"What do you mean? There's only a head, where are the other four parts?"

"So what if he draws the first card? Exodia needs five cards to activate his victory effect! He only has one right now!"

"A single card is worthless! Unless the other four are already in your hand—"

The comments section suddenly stopped for a moment.

Everyone was watching the video replay and counting the cards in the boy's hand.

Of those few cards in hand, four were never used from beginning to end.
