Duels should be played with a smile.

"What kind of ridiculous judgment is this?! Just because I put a Sky Striker Princess spell card in my deck doesn't mean it's a Sky Striker Princess deck! Then give me the two girls, and open up the link area for me!"

Duel Disk is well-versed in the "playing dead" tactic used by various mobile game developers. No matter how much Leyou calls, it ignores them. However, considering that this is a super powerful skill, it's too lazy to pursue such a nonsensical matter.

The Field Spell Card shattered under Pandora's Declaration, but he remained energetic and continued his actions.

"I'll pay another 1000 LP to Special Summon 1 DARK Spellcaster monster from my hand or Graveyard. Return from the Graveyard, my strongest magician!"

"After paying 2000LP, I still have 4000LP left, all thanks to your help! Hahahaha!"

Another cloud of black mist passed through Pandora's body, and when the mist dissipated, the dark magician in the graveyard returned to the field.

Pandora's 2500 attack power was enough to wipe out Leyou's 1400 LP, but considering the face-down cards on the field, she chose to summon another monster for the sake of stability.

No rush, let's play along.

"I usually summon Killer Tomatoes! Then I enter the battle phase!"

Although the declaration called for battle, Pandora did not launch an immediate attack, but instead began a long period of deliberation.

You have two monsters on your field, and your opponent has two face-down cards. One of them is very likely the spell card that your opponent previously searched for that can summon a shield monster, while the other may be the key to this duel.

That shield monster has 0 defense, so Killer Tomato can easily get past it, but that last one... Damn it, if only I had drawn the Demon-Sealing Arrow directly! It's all my fault for being careless and only messing with the Dark Magician's cards. After winning this duel, I must go back and mark all the cards!

Pandora pondered for a long time without coming up with any results, and Leyou didn't urge her. In Pandora's eyes, that nonchalant attitude was arrogance.

"Murder Tomato, direct attack! Come on, Mr. Leyou, open your card, everything about you is within my calculations!"

Killer Tomato launched a direct attack on Leyou, and Leyou, just as Pandora had predicted, activated the Quick Attack Spell Card he had guessed.

But the result was beyond his expectations.

"what!"

The intense pain caused Pandora to howl in agony. Only after he recovered from the pain did he have the mind to observe what had just happened.

In the recent battle, Killer Tomato was defeated and fled. Not only did he fail to defeat Shield Monster, but he also lost 100 LP.

It's still the same floating cannons, but this time a battle-armored girl is controlling them, and these floating cannons can unleash far greater power than before.

[Sky Striker Affinity: 1500 Defense]

"What on earth happened?!" Pandora roared.

"Most spell cards in the Sky Striker series gain an extra effect when there are 3 spell cards in the graveyard, and this card's extra effect is to change the ATK and DEF of the token to 1500." Leyou looked at Pandora, who was covered in sweat, with a look of amusement and explained with a smile.

"You know that's not what I'm asking!"

"Oh, you mean the Dark Game? Since it's called the Dark Game, do you think the battle will still be as simple as before? LP is short for Life Points. If you lose some, it's already good that it only hurts a little and doesn't leave you with missing limbs."

Relying on the fact that they had protection, Leyou fully demonstrated what double standards are.

"Then why didn't you show any of the LP losses you suffered before!" Pandora was already losing her composure, but seeing that the situation was in her favor, she was still trying her best to maintain her composure.

However, Leyou has always been fond of kicking someone when they're down.

"It's just a little pain~ You make it sound like you're dying. If you can't even keep a straight face and laugh it off after a little pain, how can you be expected to handle anything big! Dark games are like that, you know, once you've experienced it a few times, you'll get used to it!"

"But you just said it was the first time!"

Leyou shrugged: "I was faking it~ Can't you tell? I thought your monster's attack power was a bit low~"

Pandora didn't want to continue the conversation; he was afraid he'd be driven to his death by anger.

"It's just a temporary reprieve, Dark Magician, take down that shield monster!"

Without the support of cutting-edge technology, the armored girl was successfully avenged by the unlucky magician and was sent off.

I have a Black Magician and a Killer Tomato on my side, while the opponent only has an unknown card. Don't panic, the advantage is on my side.

"Cover a backcourt card, end the round."

Pandora LP: 6000 → 3900

Pandora's hand: 4 → 1

"Just before your turn ends, I activate a quick-play spell, my third Sky Striker - Bumblebee Floating Unit! You didn't expect that, did you? I set two of these!"

Chapter Sixteen: I Launch Electronic Fusion Support!

"My turn, draw a card!"

The formula for victory was already complete. Leyou had the winning strategy for this deck from the very beginning; it's just that the journey from the starting point to the finish line required taking a longer route.

Originally, the final declaration could have started without the newly drawn card, but after glancing at the drawn card, Leyou added it to her hand and then set another card face down.

"Oh~ you covered your cards right away, looks like you didn't draw any powerful cards."

"No, no, no." Leyou held up one finger and waved it back and forth. "In fact, when I cover this card, it means you are about to be swallowed by darkness."

"But before that, I need to activate the magic card I just drew, so I won't have to enter the battle phase."

"Hehehe, hahahahaha, you wouldn't be thinking of using your monster with 1500 attack points to defeat my Killer Tomato, and then using that kind of pain to make me faint, would you? Hahahahaha!"

Pandora started laughing again, but he forgot how happy he had been before, and how panicked he would be afterwards.

But it doesn't matter, Leyou doesn't mind that he's laughing so happily, because this is probably the last time he'll be able to laugh so happily.

Laugh, keep laughing, keep laughing, I'm dying of laughter.JPG

Pandora's laughter echoed in the dark space until Leyou placed the magic card in his hand on the Duel Disk.

"I'll pay half my LP to activate the Quick-Play Spell Card [Cyber ​​Fusion Support]! It's our duty to revive the glory of Cyber ​​Dragon!"

[Leyou LP: 1400 → 700]

"This turn, if I Fusion Summon a Machine-Type Fusion Monster, I can banish the Fusion Material Monsters specified on that Fusion Monster Card from my hand, field, or Graveyard and use them as Fusion Material."

"Graveyard Fusion?!" Pandora was shocked and immediately looked at Leyou's Fusion (Extra) deck. Could there be something in that Extra deck, which was filled with 15 cards, that could help him turn the tide of the battle?

"A Fusion Monster from the Machine faction? Then your face-down card must be a Fusion, and you also have a monster in your hand?!"

"I'm sorry, you guessed wrong." Leyou shrugged.

His extra deck does have cards that can turn the tide of battle, but he removed the necessary synergy spell cards.

Because the accompanying magic cards are called [Source Number Network] and [Source Number Lineage].

Because his bonuses are 12 Source Gates and 3 [NO.100 Source Dragon].

"Alright, we've been going back and forth for so long, it's about time to end this."

"I activate my last magic card, [The Great Reversal Puzzle]!"

"Send all cards from your hand and field to the graveyard. Guess the type of the top card in your deck (Spell/Trap/Monster). If you guess correctly, swap the Life Points of yourself and your opponent."

Once this card is activated, all the cards on the field are sent to the graveyard, and the hand is empty—truly, there's not a single card left.

"After a few rounds, I think it goes without saying what I'm guessing! I bet it's a magic card!"

Flip over the top card of the deck, and you'll be surprised to find it's Pot of Greed.

At the same time, the effects of the major reversal puzzle begin to be processed, and the basic points of both sides are directly swapped.

Pandora LP: 3900 → 700

[Leyou LP: 700 → 3900]

Because it was a direct exchange, the Dark Game's Devouring was not triggered.

Although her health points instantly plummeted to a mere 700, Pandora calmed down and refrained from mocking Leyou's actions. Her experience navigating various dangerous magic tricks made it easier for her to concentrate in such situations.

Although I only have 700 LP, I have a Killer Tomato with 2500 attack power and 1400 attack power on my field, while my opponent has nothing. Even if I don't draw any cards next turn, I still have the advantage!

However, just as he was pondering, several shurikens suddenly flew out from the graveyard area and pierced through his chest.

Then he heard the last words of his life.

"The effect of the spell card [Wind Demon Shuriken]: When sent from the field to the Graveyard, inflict 700 damage to your opponent's Life Points."

Pandora LP: 700 → 0

……

Inside the uniquely designed helicopter, a middle school student wearing a white trench coat stared indifferently at the information on the screen in front of him.

It was sent to me by my younger brother not long ago. He said that a powerful and strange situation had occurred before the opening of Duel City, and he planned to investigate it.

As a doting brother, he naturally refused his brother's potentially dangerous actions and chose to handle the situation himself.

"Winged Kuriboh... Cricket Chaser... This monster can actually unleash power surpassing that of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon... Yugi, could it be you? But you're not the kind of person who would do something like that..."

Recalling his days in Duel Kingdom, when his strongest monster, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, was blocked by Yami Yugi's Kuriboh combined with the Multiplication Spell Card, forcing him to resort to the humiliating and despicable act of threatening suicide to beg for victory, Seto Kaiba couldn't help but clench his fists.

That was the most humiliating moment of his life, and he would remember it forever until he defeated Yami Yugi with his own strength.

Now, in the continuation of Duel Kingdom, in this Duel City, on the stage where he plans to seize all three Egyptian God cards and defeat Yami Yugi, another similar situation has appeared, forcing Seto Kaiba to suspect that someone is really targeting him.

Kuriboh and the Multiply Spell Card, Winged Kuriboh and the Berserker Shatter Spell Card—both are incredibly weak monsters paired with powerful spell cards, making it hard not to connect them.

Just like the last time that happened because his brother was imprisoned by Pegasus, is this time it also for his brother, or for the Haima Group?

"Hmph! Whether it's you or any of you, since you're here, don't even think about doing anything unnecessary. Regardless of whether you're a member of the Gurus Order or not, you will be defeated by my invincible Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Obelisk!"

"And you, mortal..."

The person who dueled with that person named Rakuyu was Jonouchi, whom he had always looked down upon. However, after Rakuyu was defeated by Winged Kuriboh, Seto Kaiba actually felt that this ordinary person was somewhat similar to himself, who possessed the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

"How absurd!"

Seto Kaiba took out one of the three Egyptian God cards, which was incredibly powerful, from the top of his deck. He stroked the card with his fingers and closed his eyes to rest.

After a while.

"President, according to intelligence, the target disappeared in this area."

"Okay, drop me off at the nearest landing spot, then you can leave."

"Yes, President."

Chapter Seventeen: Your sister is amazing!

In the underground space.

The Dark Game ended, and the original contract immediately took effect, taking away everything related to Duel Monsters from the being named Pandora, leaving only her broken body.
