Duels should be played with a smile.

A rainbow flashed across the D-wheel, and Leyou raised the card in his hand high, calling for the descent of the Phantom Dragon Soul.

A misty aura emanated from the card, condensing and lingering around Leyou's D-wheel at high speed.

"My turn!"

"The majestic heavens descend with overwhelming power! The dragons of the earth's veins transform into swirling mists, flowing ceaselessly!"

"Witness! This is the place where the phantom dragon descends!"

"I activate the Field Spell Card [Heavenly Might Unbreakable Land]!"

Chapter Seventy-One: As if climbing a high mountain and standing on the edge of an abyss, as if beholding a dragon coiled in the deep abyss!

The breath of mist, a phrase that moves many people.

At this very moment, on the winding, high-speed racetrack, accompanied by the roars of dragons that could be heard but not seen, the earth's energy transformed into a misty aura, enveloping the two who were engaged in a high-speed duel.

It was as if ethereal mist was surrounding it.

Like a dream.

This is the land where the might of Heaven has not crumbled, the beautiful and secluded dwelling place of the phantom dragon.

"Heh, that's interesting."

Jack's gaze swept around the area; he was becoming interested.

At the same time, he glanced subtly at the five cards in his hand on his duel disk, a barely perceptible smile appearing on his face.

"The stage is set, please witness the actors' entrance!"

"Due to the effect of the monster 'Thunder God' in your hand, you can pay 3000 LP to summon this card from your hand!"

[Light · 7★ · Lightning · Attack Power 2700]

[Leyou LP: 8000 → 5000]

Lightning flashed, and a misty aura flew out from Leyou's chest, landing on the lightning and outlining the body of the Thunder God.

Although they talked about the Phantom Dragon and the Sword of the Immortal, Leyou's first monster had nothing to do with the Phantom Dragon at all.

Even if Jack has a multiplied G, he cannot chain a special move that does not enter a chain. And at the moment after the Thunder God lands, Jack also has no intention of throwing out a hand trap to interfere.

Leyou paused slightly, glancing at Jack, who remained expressionless, but couldn't glean any information from him.

A skilled duelist can use body language and facial expressions to mislead his opponent, but Jack doesn't like this tactic, so he always keeps a blank expression or looks confident of victory.

"The second Raiden God in my hand will also be Special Summoned."

[Leyou LP: 5000 → 2000]

"What?! The player Leyou just paid 6000 LP to specially summon two 7-star monsters right from the start. Was it really worth paying such a high price?"

The professional commentator even wanted to make a judgment at the beginning of the game, but considering that 2000LP was still a long way from being a dying ember, he resisted the urge to make a judgment.

After all, commentators don't just make things up.

So he changed the subject and chose to stir up the audience's emotions.

"Faced with Jack, who excels at aggressive attacks, can Leyou's remaining 2000LP withstand Jack's fierce offensive? Let's wait and see!"

The commentator's questions successfully drew the audience into the game.

However, the two parties involved were not disturbed at all.

"Watch out! There are two level 7 monsters, they're about to attack!"

A vortex representing an excess appeared above the track, and during the high-speed duel, the first Extra Summon was not a Synchro Summon.

"I will stack two Thunder Gods! Xyz Summon! Descend! [Starship No. 42 - Galaxy Battle Axe Eagle]!"

A faint jade-colored light flew out from the crystal on her chest. At this moment, Ella, who was in her own player rest room, closed her eyes, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and activated the power she had stored with Leyou.

The vortex dissipated, and the two Thunder Gods transformed into spheres of light, revolving around the massive starship.

"An Xyz Summon, and a numbered one at that! They've shown other summoning methods before... When did the academy produce someone like this?"

Jack watched silently, counting and waiting.

"Effect #42: Once per turn, you can activate this effect by detaching 2 Xyz Materials from this card. Special Summon as many [Warhawk Tokens], [WIND · 6★ · Machine · ATK 2000] as possible to your field."

42 was Special Summoned in Leyou's Extra Monster Zone, which means that Leyou can summon a total of 5 tokens at once to fill the rest of his main monster zones.

"Powerful cards often come with risks. Tokens Special Summoned by this effect are destroyed during the End Phase of this turn. Furthermore, after this effect is activated, the battle damage your opponent takes until the end of this turn becomes 0."

"In other words, I no longer have a way to FTK you in the first round of attack."

The professional commentator accurately captured Leyou's action of summoning five monsters in one go and his comments about FTK. Under his highly infectious comments, the atmosphere in the arena, which was already very exciting, was raised to another level.

To put it simply, it's like your psychic energy has broken through 100%.

Feeling the unprecedented cheers, Leyou also felt a long-lost excitement.

It didn't come from the opponents, but from the audience.

In that instant, he recalled a stage that his unreliable system had once shown him long ago, a stage that stirred his soul.

"This feeling...is great!"

"It's like drinking really strong liquor!"

Above the D-wheel, which is speeding backwards, a circuit representing the connection to the summoning quietly appears.

"Reveal! The Circuit of Duel Revue!"

"The summoning requirement is 2 or more Machine-type monsters!"

"I'll set arrows on 2 tokens and 42 units!"

The three arrows were filled with energy, and in that instant, Jack reflexively sat up straight.

"Is this arrow... coming soon? No, I should say, we've already seen far too many of them."

The circuits opened wide, and after the starship disappeared, fighter jets somewhat similar to the starship appeared from the circuits.

"Link Summon! Link 3! [Phantom Beast Machine: Dawn Goddess Hundred-Headed Dragon]!"

The moment the Hundred-Headed Dragon descended upon the Extra Monster Zone, Jack slightly raised his hand, but then restrained himself.

It's not the right time yet.

"The effect of the Hundred-Headed Dragon can be activated once per turn: I can Tribute 2 monsters on my field to activate this effect and Special Summon 1 [Phantom Beast Machine] monster from my Deck!"

After summoning the Hundred-Headed Dragon, Leyou immediately released the Hundred-Headed Dragon itself and a Warhawk token to activate the deck's Special Summon effect.

"I've specially recruited a Tuner monster, [Phantom Beast Machine Orion Lion]!"

[Wind · 2★ · Mechanical · Adjustment · Defense 1000]

With a 2-star adjustment on the field, two 6-star tokens, and a hundred-headed dragon in the graveyard, what Leyou is about to do next is something every OCG player knows.

And Jack knew that too.

He couldn't possibly just stand by and watch that monster appear.

"You should exercise restraint in the face of the King's power! You have already summoned more than five monsters this turn!"

"So, the instant you successfully Special Summon! I activate the effect of [Primal Life Form Nibiru] in my hand! I Tribute as many face-up monsters as possible on the field! I Special Summon Nibiru from my hand, and then Special Summon Meteor Tokens to your field!"

The Great Wilderness Star Falls.

A huge meteorite crashed down, and the world fell silent. The clamor in the arena also paused for a moment.

That's how it should be.

At this moment, Jack has a huge meteorite on his field, while Leyou has the 11-star baby that Jack sent over, as well as two other derivatives.

"What?! Only one Phantom Beast Machine was released?!"

Jack was slightly flustered, but quickly regained his composure. He keenly noticed that the misty aura in the amusement park was enveloping these derivatives.

"Oh dear... To be honest, I almost forgot about this effect." Leyou looked up at the sky somewhat embarrassedly. He really had forgotten—although it was said to have everything dragons, some of the cards had never been used and had never had a chance to appear.

If you can just wipe out the opponent directly, why would you need any strange or unusual cards?

"The effect of the Field Monster [Heavenly Might Unbreakable Land]: While this card is in the Field Zone, face-up monsters on the field other than Effect Monsters are unaffected by effects."

"Derivatives are generally considered normal monsters and enjoy the resistances granted by the field. The effect of Meteor cannot be used to release monsters with all resistances."

After offering a brief explanation, Leyou turned to look at the two cards she had left in her hand.

That's right, after eating the meteorite, he now only has 3 large blank cards and 2 cards in his hand.

"Oh! Player Leyou is deep in thought. It seems that Player Jack's Meteor has caused him a lot of trouble! If Player Leyou, who only has 2 cards in his hand, cannot continue to develop, he will have to face Player Jack's attack of 5 cards in his hand next turn with 3 tokens on the field!"

"Although his derivatives seem to be quite powerful."

It's really hard for a regular deck to take down a Meteor, but unfortunately for them, this time, Leyou is going to be the one to steal it!

"The warm-up phase is over, shall we move on to the follow-up performance?"

Before the words were even finished, the misty aura in the venue began to flow again.

"The second effect of the Field: Once per turn, if you control a monster other than an Effect Monster and your opponent Special Summons an Effect Monster, you can activate this effect and draw 2 cards!"

It's quite amazing how a meteorite can actually trigger the effects of a certain environment.

"Chain C2, activate the effect of Orion Leviathan in the Graveyard. If sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon 1 [Phantom Beast Token]!"

The selfie chain is a way to avoid the dust, after all, Jack has already been hit by a meteorite, so it's not surprising that he'd throw something else—maybe letting the Hundred-Headed Dragon pass through before was just to wait for the meteorite?

By reversing the chain reaction, Leyou gained the fourth token on the field. At the same time, in a way that reflects his high emotional intelligence, he also made a guaranteed 2-draw.

"The effect of the Spell Card 'Talent of the Three Wars' in my hand: Because you activated the effect of Meteor during my Main Phase, I choose to activate the 'Draw 2' effect of 'Talent of the Three Wars'! Pot of Greed of the Three Wars!"

"Wow! After taking a hit from a meteor, Leyou managed to replenish his hand with 5 more cards thanks to the strong synergy with his deck! His strength is truly extraordinary! I'm really curious about what he'll do next!"

Many people, including Jack, were curious because sometimes, having too many monsters really does cause grids to get stuck.

Leyou looked at the card in his hand, pondering and deciding what to keep.

He feels a bit embarrassed now because he's not only stuck, but also tricked by his own venue.

It's truly all-resistant; it even protects against its own cards.

"It seems like I have no choice now."
