Duels should be played with a smile.

The audience suddenly felt a powerful aura emanating from Ella. Ella, who had always been as cold and indifferent as a robot, finally showed some change.

It's like someone who tries so hard to hide their presence suddenly becoming more dazzling than the sun.

The aura emanating from Ella sent chills down the spines of countless people, sending shivers down their spines.

According to someone's suggestion, villainous bosses like to use an incredibly powerful aura at the last moment to deliver endless despair to those arrogant challengers.

Ella readily complied, her long white dress fluttering without wind, and a faint black aura swirling around her.

With Leyou's usual chuunibyou lines and poses playing in her mind, Ella selected the material she thought could bring despair to her opponent.

"Let's end this boring show here!"

"The handmaids created can only await their death in the face of Ragnarok!"

"Let me deliver to you the despair from hell!"

Under the influence of her despairing power, the once dreamlike fairyland of Asgard instantly transformed into Helheim, a place filled with coldness, despair, and death.

"Wow! The ultimate queen! The taciturn ice queen transforms into a powerful and tyrannical queen! I'm ready! Sister, step on me! Sister, step on me!"

Amidst a few traces of negative energy and an overwhelming amount of excitement, Ella fell into deep thought.

Something seems off.

Chapter 142 Besides despair, you have nothing.

"Useless and ultimately just a mortal, you'll have to rely on the three finest souls I've personally selected to achieve anything."

"The seal on the legendary dragon has not yet been broken. Without those three troublesome fellows, the god of Orichalcos will be unstoppable. All we need to do is let Raphael and the others harvest a few powerful souls, and with their own, that will be enough to revive the god of Orichalcos."

"The darkness in people's hearts is truly the ugliest of beauties."

Dartz, with his heterochromatic eyes, no longer wanted to watch Sieg's upcoming duel. He'd rather pay attention to the Spirit World than Sieg; there's been quite a stir there lately.

……

Because of the unexpected trap card, Ella couldn't create the despair package she had prepared for Sieg and the audience as originally planned, but the current situation is still under her control.

"The smaller the existence, the greater the despair that can be born in its heart!"

Breaking away from her previous taciturn image, Ella tries her best to portray a villain who can bring endless despair to people.

Her powerful, mature voice, combined with the aura of authority she exudes in every gesture, perfectly showcases the image she wants to portray.

"A pathetic existence that pleases others with its ugly and comical appearance! Special Summon [Candy Clown] from your hand in Attack Position through its effect!"

With an ugly face, a short and fat body, and clothes that were too big and ill-fitting, the clown, weak and powerless, stepped onto the field with a bitter face as he stood on a round ball.

Normally, the audience might laugh out loud, but under the influence of despair, looking at the clown's bitter face, they couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow.

Ella captured this low mood with remarkable accuracy.

Even if it's just a tiny bit, in the face of so many people, that tiny bit of negative emotion can ensure that Ella won't have to worry about food for a while.

Great, the plan is going smoothly.

"Trying to trap me with cursed treasure is nothing but wishful thinking! You frog in a well, your tricks are laughable!"

"The summoning condition is 2 or more Level 1 monsters. I will stack the Candy Clown and the Disruptor on the field!"

Originating from the source code and drawing upon the power of the God of Despair, the super-network constructed in the virtual world manifests here.

A stream of light, enveloped in black mist, fell from the sky, shrouding Ella and obscuring her form.

In order to achieve greater success this time, Ella used all the atmosphere-building techniques she had learned from some elves.

The two weak monsters gathered together and became another monster that didn't seem very strong either. The ring that Sieg had used to interfere with Ella was also shattered due to the disappearance of the Warbreaker.

"The guide to despair, the weak who summon the spear of god-slaying! Xyz Summon! [Lyrical Nightingale - Gathering Nightingale]!"

The gathering of two Nightingales with only a large amount of material cannot be called powerful at all. The gentle breeze that entangled her wings also dispelled the gloom in the audience's hearts. However, the audience's doubts did not disappear, because the focus of this monster was clearly not on the monster itself.

Moreover, Ella is the second duelist today to use an Xyz Summon that has never been seen before, and her Xyz Summon is clearly different from the previous Anubis.

At the very least, they completely overwhelmed each other in terms of momentum.

After the strange phenomena surrounding Ella disappeared, she had changed into a black dress.

The pitch blackness was capable of swallowing up all light—at the same time, a tiny starlight emerged from her shoulder.

Neither Zieg nor the audience had any interest in thinking about what was going on with the clothes change. They were all overwhelmed by the aura emanating from Ella, and even their thoughts slowed down a beat.

Feeling the immense power of Ella, who could hang her up and beat her, the Snow Woman couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement, and was also glad that she hadn't decided to go to Ella for fun.

"Isn't she making a bit too much of a show of force? How are you going to explain this later?"

"Explanation? It's simple. It's Haima's cutting-edge technology that will immerse you in the experience," Leyou replied nonchalantly.

Do you think the audience will believe that?

"Would you believe me if I said playing cards could destroy the world?"

Never mind, I didn't ask.

As Ella restrained her aura, the oppressive atmosphere on the field eased slightly.

"Summon [Starlight Kuriboh], enter battle phase!"

The dazzling, star-studded Kuriboh, as brilliant as the Milky Way, was grabbed by Ella and thrown onto the field. Before the little Kuriboh could react, four powerful Valkyries on the opposite side of the field had already arrived in front of it, making the little Kuriboh, who usually hid behind powerful monsters, tremble with fear.

It's pitiful, weak, and helpless; all it wants now is to find 59 and play happily together (to be accomplices).

"Gather the Nightingales for a direct attack, bypass the Valkyrie's defenses, and unleash a storm of despair upon this poor clown!"

Even if Nightingale, with her 400 attack power, were to attack directly, it would still be like a tickle to Sieg, who had 10,000 LP. However, Sieg, who had no idea what Ella was going to do, was extremely conflicted.

"Never mind, I'm activating the 'Interrogation' card!"

"You can activate this effect when your opponent declares an attack. Check your opponent's entire hand. If you have a monster card in your hand, negate that attack. Then, discard 1 monster from your opponent's hand."

Ella's previous declaration had already indicated that this seemingly weak monster might be a guide to despair, and this attack might be one of the conditions, so Sieg dared not be careless.

At the same time, this is also an opportunity to see what Ella really wants to do.

"Come on, show me your cards!"

"Huh? People avoid despair like the plague, but you seem to be eager for it. How...pleasant!"

She modified the villain's quotes copied from the internet and presented them in her own words, while also showing Ella her hand cards.

Sieg frowned, because there were very few cards he recognized in Ella's hand, so he had no choice but to discard the monster cards he considered the most threatening.

"Drop that [Lightning-Strike Kaibeast] you're holding. 3300 attack power, that must be your trump card, right?"

"Not only are you a frog in a well, but you're also an arrogant person. As a clown, you're passable—using your ignorance to amuse others." Ella casually discarded the evil beast while once again giving Zig her assessment.

Even disregarding other factors, judging solely from the duelist's skill level, Sieg is a failing grade.

If he were a true duelist, at the very least he shouldn't miss his next opponent's duel.

The fact that he didn't notice the "Kaimon" field suggests that he hadn't even watched Anubis's previous duel.

"Gathering Nightingales can make up to a maximum of several attacks with Xyz Material in the same battle phase, so a single Trap Card cannot stop the despair from descending!"

The Nightingale attacked again, dealing a negligible 400 points of damage to Sieg, only causing his flashy pink suit to flutter slightly in the wind.

[Zig LP: 10000 → 9600]

"What exactly do you want?" Zieg asked coldly.

He felt increasingly uneasy.

"I told you, I'm going to deliver despair from hell to you!"

"Starlight Kuriboh, attack Brunhilde!"

"What?! Are you crazy?!"

The Starlight Kuriboh, with an attack power of only 100, flew towards Brunhilde, whose attack power was a full 4300. Under the bewildered gazes of countless people, it was cleaved in two by the powerful Valkyrie's sword.

The Valkyrie's sword strike contained immense power. After defeating Kuriboh, the released power transformed into a hurricane that swept towards Ella.

[Ella's LP: 8000 → 3800]

"Ah~ what a sweet pain!"

With her hands slightly raised, after the hurricane dissipated, Ella appeared before everyone as if she had not suffered great harm, but rather as if she had tasted intoxicating wine, with even a touch of crimson on her cheeks.

That mesmerizing smile made him feel extremely dangerous.

Aside from a few viewers with unique tastes, most people felt a bit uneasy.

Taking a deep breath, as if still savoring something, Ella reopened her eyes, her pupils filled with only bone-chilling coldness.

"Welcome to hell, welcome to taste despair."

"Quick-Play Spell Card [Hellstorm]!"

"This effect can only be activated if you take 3000 or more battle damage. Banish all monsters from both players' Deck and Graveyard!"

If the Valkyrie unleashed a devastating hurricane, then this storm surging from hell turned all hope into a desperate wail.

An incredibly scorching storm swept through this fairyland, leaving nothing but barren land in its wake.

When the storm subsided, both sides had only about twenty cards left in their thick decks.

Ella's deck only has 40 cards and not many monsters, while Zieg's deck has 60 cards, mostly monsters, but also plenty of spells and traps.

"If this is your tactic, then you have indeed surprised me. But if this is the despair you want me to feel, then it is far from enough."

The deck could hold out for a long time, and Sieg relaxed. In his opinion, Ella's tactics had failed this time—she probably didn't expect that there would be so many spell and trap cards in her deck, and she didn't expect that her deck would have as many as 60 cards.

"No, that's enough, Mr. Joker. Please stop using your limited knowledge to judge fears you've never experienced. It only makes me laugh."

"The effect of [Dead Face] activates if it is banished. Both players banish the top 5 cards of their own decks."

"I have three copies of Necromancer's Face in my deck, so we need to banish another 15!"

Suddenly, a baby's laughter rang out, and three shadows appeared in the sky.

When the director first saw the three unidentified objects, his heart skipped a beat. After recovering, he quickly blurred the three terrifying monsters with a thick mosaic.

The enormous baby's head was stitched with several blood-stained flesh-colored tentacles that wriggled in a bizarre manner. The swollen eyeballs looked as if they were about to burst out of their sockets at any moment. The corpse-like pale skin bore the marks of several sutures, making it hard not to wonder how this strange creature could have been born.

"vomit..."
