Duels should be played with a smile.

"I suppose you already know which card I'm going to use. Now, let's see if you have enough means to counter it."

If this tactic works, then everything before will become meaningless.

"Trap Card, [Hope for Survival], pays 1000 LP, then draws a card every time there is a 2000 LP difference."

【Yata-U LP: 1900→900】

Replenish your hand with a new set of cards, freeing up space in the back row. Set two more cards face down, and the five cards in the back row of Yata-Uru end your turn.

Then, at the start of Leyou's turn, after drawing a card, he immediately activated the face-down card.

"Quick-Play Spell Card [Forbidden Cloth], targets Zang Xuan. For the rest of the turn, its ATK is reduced by 600. It cannot be targeted by card effects and cannot be destroyed by card effects."

With the Saint Cloth on his body, Zang Xuan gained powerful resistance at the cost of his already limited attack power.

This also added an extra layer of insurance for the subsequent tactical implementation.

The key to this tactic is Zang Xuan. Yata-u has another quick-attack magic card that can protect Zang Xuan, and after much deliberation, it chose this one.

At this point, it felt that there seemed to be too few grid squares.

Otherwise, with double insurance, even if Leyou has countermeasures, it can still follow up with another chain reaction and catch up with the leader.

But to its surprise, Leyou didn't do anything, it just smiled.

Hachita Uchi calmed down slightly and decided to bring this duel to a close.

"The covered trap card [Final Battle!] can be activated during your opponent's turn when you have 1000 or less LP. Target 1 monster on your field and send all other cards on the field and in your hand to the Graveyard."

"After that, the opponent Special Summons a monster from their Deck in Attack Position and battles it, dealing 0 damage. The player with monsters still on the field at the end of the turn wins the duel; otherwise, it's a draw."

Once this card is successfully activated, the duel will end immediately; it's a true final battle!

"When Zang Xuan is present, neither side can Special Summon monsters. Therefore, as long as my Zang Xuan is still here, victory in this duel belongs to me!"

“But…” Leyou finally spoke, and directly opened a face-down card. “The premise is that your final battle can be successfully activated, or that the effect of your Zangxuan is not negated.”

"I activate the face-down trap card [Infinite Impermanence]!"

Yata-u flew onto Zang-gen's shoulder, stepping on his Saint Cloth, and said, "I anticipated this move! Under the protection of the Saint Cloth, Zang-gen will not be the target of your attack!"

"But I never said I was targeting your Zang Xuan! Have you forgotten that you have another monster on the field?"

While standing on the field as punishment, enjoying the show, Da Kai suddenly felt many eyes on him.

"I will target your Great Opening and nullify its effects!"

Hachita immediately sensed something was wrong: "The Great Opening of Ineffectiveness? What exactly are you planning?"

"Of course, it's to stop you from flipping the table! Infinite Impermanence has a follow-up effect: after this face-down card negates the targeted monster, it will also negate other Spell & Trap cards in the same column as itself for the rest of the turn!"

Because of this often overlooked effect of illusion, countless people have been tricked or have tricked others.

"This final battle is my last stand, and I absolutely cannot let you suffer this!"

The white-bearded old man appeared on the field and waved to the electronic dragon, who was preparing for his umpteenth ascension.

"A divine declaration!"

There are no weak cards in Yata's deck. When it comes to countermeasures, it's basically the God Old Man's whole deck, which is full of counter-trap.

"What a coincidence, I have one too!"

When Leyou's second face-down card was revealed, it was also a divine declaration.

"I don't have much else to say, but I've played three copies of Divine Judgment! I'm activating my second Divine Judgment! I don't believe you have a second one too!"

Yata had only drawn two copies of Divine Announcement before, but now, that's enough.

It's unlikely that the cards Leyou previously covered were all divine pronouncements, just like this one.

"I do not have a second Solemn Judgment, nor do I have any other counter-trap cards in my deck."

Leyou smiled and snapped a picture of a card.

"But I have this!"

"Counter-Trap Card [Red Reboot]!"

"This card can also pay half of the LP and activate it from the hand!"

"Today, I'm going to pull the plug on your final battle!"

"The effect of [Red Reboot] can only be activated when the opponent activates a Trap Card. The activation is negated, and that card is set. After that, the opponent can choose 1 Trap Card from their deck and set it in their back row."

"Once this card is activated, your opponent cannot activate any trap cards until the end of the turn!"

With a quick counter-trap card, he pulled the plug, forcibly pushing the old man on the field back to the field. The invincible old man could only suffer defeat in the face of the even more invincible red reboot.

Yata no Uchiha has no other cards that can be chained together. Even if it can take the third Solemn Judgment out of the deck and set it face down, it doesn't change the fact that its last struggle has failed.

The chain reaction ended, the latecomer came first, the reverse order was processed, and with each side ineffective, only the final grand opening of the spectacle was rendered ineffective by the infinite bubble, and even the final battle of the Eight Crows ended in vain.

And then there's Zang Xuan, dressed in his holy robes, also watching the show.

"Your final battle will end here."

As he spoke, Leyou showed the card he had drawn this round to Yata.

"I just drew my second Treasure from Heaven, which will give me another boost in resources, enough for us to fight for a few more rounds."

"So, do you want to give it a try?"

A moment of silence.

After a long time, the Eight-Tailed Crow spread its wings, raised its head and chest, let out a cry, and then transformed into countless starlight, returning to the stars in the sky and lighting up one of them.

"I'm convinced of my defeat; I accept the consequences of my bet."

The translation is: Finally, I don't have to go to jail anymore.

Let me translate this again: I'm never playing Yu-Gi-Oh! again!

A beam of light from the lit star shone into the crystal on Leyou's chest. Leyou seemed to sense something, and as he ran his right hand across his chest, an ordinary-looking card appeared in his hand.

Purple crows roost there, so lifelike that you can even see them carefully preening their feathers with their beaks.

It was very peaceful.

Leyou was in a good mood because he had once again successfully brought himself joy through a duel.

A duel? That would be wonderful!

With the first true fragment recovered, Leyou gained some insight. He looked around at the mysterious space, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had already left.

As he left this space, Philvo, following the agreement he had made with Leyou during the duel, connected to the nearest virtual world entrance, transformed into his original form, and entered it to gather the necessary information for Leyou.

At the same time, it is also to understand what has happened in this world, what is happening now, and to examine the Heart of the Spirit in order to judge what might happen in the future.

If... if this world is a continuation of some possibility from the previous world, then the Heart of the Elf must contain records of it!

……

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!"

Suddenly, a familiar laugh, so loud it made Leyou want to strike a pose, came from not far away.

Opening my eyes, I found myself in what seemed to be a remote corner of a city, and the laughter I had just heard didn't seem to attract any other passersby.

He seemed to be no longer in the academy, but the familiar laughter, almost etched into his DNA, confirmed to Leyou that he was probably still in the fusion dimension.

Without dwelling on why she was teleported away the moment she opened her eyes, Leyou briefly surveyed her surroundings, determined her direction, and then headed towards the source of the laughter.

In the world of cards, you don't need to think so meticulously.

"Wow, I just used someone else's card, and it seems like I've already run into a real person here."

"This world is truly fascinating."

Chapter Fourteen: Save the Anaconda!

"Activate the Field Spell Card [Rampage Magic Circle] from your hand. Based on its effect, search your Deck for one [Summoner Aleister].

Panting heavily, the green-haired man, whose appearance bore a slight resemblance to Leyou, struggled to add cards to his hand, manipulating the deck he had amassed with his remaining strength.

From the day he chose to leave, from the day he understood the meaning of the power he had gained in this world, he knew he might be targeted for various reasons, but he never expected that day to come so suddenly.

However, it seems that this time we haven't reached a dead end yet.

As he suddenly found himself in dire straits, he also sensed a faint connection from afar, as if it were calling for his return.

If all else fails, ask for help. There's no shame in it, after all, the significance you bear is too heavy, and you are not as powerful as the other ten.

But before that, let's get through this current difficulty first.

I'm risking the name of [Fusion Summoning]! I absolutely cannot be easily killed by a bunch of minions! Even if I'm being targeted by that inexplicable malice, I'll make these enemies learn what true fusion is all about!

"Normal Summon [Summoner Aleister], and search for [Summoning Magic] from your Deck based on its effect."

The faceless man opposite, who was no different from the other grunts, didn't make any extra movements. He just held the card in his hand and remained indifferent.

"I don't know where you guys came from, but I, the Azure Lock Dragon Serpent, will not fall so easily!"

Even after being forced to engage in hundreds of duels, the anaconda still stood proudly upright.

Already weakened, the anaconda, having been swept away from the virtual world and fallen into the fused dimension, was suddenly attacked and had no time to recover its power before being trapped by a barrier by an astonishing number of faceless beings, thus beginning an endless duel.

The dark power spreading during the duel indicates that this is a dark duel where everything is at stake, and the anaconda absolutely cannot be defeated.

Even in its weakened state, and even though its form in this realm was included based on its uniqueness rather than its power, the anaconda's strength was still an overwhelming advantage over these faceless beings.

However, the number of enemies was also overwhelming for the anaconda.

"The summoning condition is one monster with an attack power of 1000 or less that is normally summoned. I will use Aleister as Link Material to Link Summon!"

"Link 1, [Reincarnated Flame Beast Unicorn Rabbit]!"

"Then I activate the [Summoning Spell] from my hand, banishing Unicorn Rabbit on my field and Aleister from my graveyard as Fusion Materials to perform a Fusion Summon!"

"This time, it's all up to you! Old friend!"

He cast a trusting look at Aleister, but received no response. Realizing this, the anaconda shook its head with a wry smile.

Yes, I've been fighting for so long that I'm a little dazed. I clearly realized in the very first duel that I couldn't get any help from the other card spirits in this space shrouded by the barrier.

The enemies are all faceless, pitch-black figures, forming thick walls that trap them within, creating a dark, canopy-like barrier where they engage in team battles.
