Duels should be played with a smile.

"The effect of [Little Mermaid of the Pearl Tears Clan] in your hand can be activated when your opponent activates the effect of a monster on the field: Deck Summon this card from your hand and send the top 3 cards of your Deck to the Graveyard."

"Is there a chain reaction? Like, what if you throw away some dust?"

The Super Magician slowly shook his head, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

This card? When did it come out? How come he's never seen it before?

I do have some hand-held coins, but... it seems pointless to throw them away now.

Blindly stacking 3 cards, isn't that just a small blue card? What can you possibly build with that? Who would just throw away a small blue card or a gray card?

Furthermore, the Wind Witch's self-restriction is quite weak, on par with the weak self-restriction of the Swiftman. It can produce Crystal Wings with a single card, but the minimum is the Wind Witch with Crystal Wings, and the maximum is not much higher.

It can be described as a low-end version of the Xiangjian.

"There's no chain, you can continue."

"Okay, I'll recruit them specially, then stack them up to 3."

"Come on, real Little Blue!"

[Dark 3★ Water 1000 Defense]

The water surged and, after a tide, the space in front of Leyou was transformed into the deep sea. In that sea, a little mermaid with long, smooth, silver-gray hair swam and moved about in a beautiful manner.

"Then it's my turn. I'll search for [Wind Witch - Snowbell] and then deal 500 damage to you."

[Leyou LP: 9000 → 8500]

"Next..."

"But don't rush things," Leyou said with a smile, stopping the Super Magician from making any further moves. "Although it's your turn next, it's my turn to perform now."

"Hmm?" A bad feeling rose in the mind of the Super Magician.

"The effect of [Tears of Elegy - Mermaid of the Pearl] in the Graveyard can be activated if this card is sent to the Graveyard by a card effect. Fusion Summon the Fusion Monsters, including this card, from your hand, field, or Graveyard in any order."

"Unfortunately, although I didn't manage to build a grave this time, I do have some on hand."

"The Fusion Materials require a Shaddoll monster and a DARK monster. I return Mermaid and my Shaddoll monster from my hand to the bottom of the Deck for Fusion Summon!"

"Come on! Let's be entangled with countless card players, and never be separated unless death (referring to the banned card list)!"

"【Shadowy Midrash】!"

Chapter 107 The Ultimate Frankenstein's Monster Deck

As we all know, if you travel through time and don't know which point in time you've arrived at, you can confirm the time by asking passersby some key questions.

Okay, we've taken a time trip. Now, let's see what decks those two card players on the street are using.

Damn it, why is it still Xiaomi? What year have we gotten to?

When Super Magician saw a small creature appear on Leyou's field, his expression was similar to that of a time traveler.

What kind of time is this? How can anyone still be selling Xiaomi products...? With 2200 attack power, any cricket with a clear conscience could easily kill it with a single kick once it reaches the battle rank.

Wait... this seems to be my first round?

Super Magician was stunned.

Looking at the Snow Bell he had just retrieved, then at the 3+4 on the field and the one that had been waiting for so long, and then at the second-fastest Xiaomi that had jumped out in the first round on Leyou's field, a bead of cold sweat slid down his forehead.

Fortunately, his armor protected him from the drop of cold sweat and concealed his barely concealed expression.

As we all know, a Synchro Monster that requires a Synchro Tuner Monster as material cannot be summoned in a single Special Summon.

"What kind of deck is this...?"

"It's just a regular Fusion deck. As you can see, I didn't do anything. I just filled a graveyard and then fused it."

"Look, they're all female cards. You know, apart from Sky Striker, there aren't many female card decks that can compete. Mine is about the same."

Super Magician clenched his fist.

Is this what you call a regular fusion deck?

Is this what you call an unbeatable Kakashi deck?

Do you dare say that again while looking at your Xiaomi player on the field?

"There's nothing more I can do. Cover two cards in the back row, end of turn."

I was originally planning to build a crystal wing and wait to die, but now it's all good, I can skip the middle step of building the crystal wing.

I was originally planning to just go through the motions and submit it... but now, Super Magician feels that I should be more assertive.

It has the title of "Red Daddy" after all, how can it be so humiliating to be crushed by Xiaomi!

If someone as powerful as myself were to be crushed by Xiaomi with a single card, how could I possibly maintain any dignity in the future?

Glancing at the card in his hand that he had just managed to resist throwing away, the Super Magician secretly felt fortunate for his decision.

"Your deck's strategy of using graveyard stacking and graveyard fusion is very interesting. Now, let's see how you perform."

The Super Magician keenly sensed the potential of the Tearful Elegy Clan. He wanted to observe them further and see if they were truly strong enough. Then, after he became the Overlord, he would send people to search for traces of their clan.

They are powerful enough, beautiful, and all mermaids. If we could get them to settle in the academy, or send some of their people to teach there, the academy's strength in all aspects would surely increase significantly.

Although he has not yet become the Overlord, Super Magician has already begun to plan ahead from the Overlord's perspective, making some advance plans for the fusion of dimensions.

At times like these, he reveals his true self, inheriting the composure from Mahad and possessing the abilities honed through his own experiences—a responsible and powerful "father figure."

"Then it's my turn to play Yu-Gi-Oh!~ My turn, draw a card~"

I just used up two cards to get a Xiaomi, so Leyou still has enough cards available right now.

Not to mention, the resources of pearl tears are generally not in one's possession.

"Main phase, recruit [Tears of Elegy Clan - Renohart]."

[Water · 4★ · Warrior · Attack Power 1500]

"Reno Hart's effect can only be activated if this card is double-summoned: Deliver 1 other 'Tears of Elegy' monster from your Deck to the Graveyard."

The moment Renohart appeared, the Super Magician's attention was immediately drawn to this monster.

After a closer look, Super Magician frowned – how come this is a man? Wasn't he supposed to be a mermaid?

"Piling up graves? You won't get your way with that. You just managed to trap me with your grave-piling move, but this time you can't do whatever you want!"

"The effect of [Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring] in my hand negates this effect of yours!"

The dog-eared old lady arrived on time, poked her head out, and after discovering that there was no one named the gravestone pointer—no, it was the gravestone pointer and the obliterator pointer—she swaggered towards Renohart on the playground.

Then it crashed headfirst into a pair of shimmering wings, dazed and confused, and rolled back into the graveyard.

"As a skilled Dragon Glory player, it's perfectly reasonable for me to include a few Declarers in my deck, right?" Leyou said with a smile as he sent two cards from his hand to the graveyard, as if he had expected it.

"The effect of [Crimson Light Declarer] in your hand: When your opponent activates a monster effect, you can send this card and 1 Fairy-Type monster from your hand to the Graveyard to activate this effect, negate that activation and destroy it."

"Your Ash Blossom should go back and rest first."

"Although I didn't bring the gray G-finger, I did bring the crimson and green ones!"

If it were Ryuki Takumi, losing a Crimson Light card would be quite painful, but in Pearl Tears, losing a Crimson Light card is not just a matter of losing two cards in your hand.

"By the way, the card that Zhu Guang and I just discarded was [Ancient Guardian Argito]."

"Based on its effect, it can be activated when a card is sent from the hand or Deck to the Graveyard, and 5 cards are placed in the top of both players' Decks."

Is there a chain?

Super Magician glanced at the ancient guard that flashed by in the Happy Cemetery and felt that the monster looked somewhat familiar, as if it was a monster he had seen a long time ago.

It's not strange that ancient, weak monsters gain new power and reappear in a completely new form because of the favor of the world's will. In fact, Super Magician himself is one of them.

However, judging from the effect of the Ancient Guardian, this ancient monster, after its renovation, has an extraordinary compatibility with the newly born race, the Pearl Tear Elegy Clan.

Just moments ago, he was only thinking about inviting the Pearl Tear Elegy Clan to the academy, but now the Super Magician is starting to recall when he first met this Argento and is pondering how to invite the Ancient Guardians to the Fusion Academy as well.

Although the Ancient Guardian doesn't seem to have anything to do with fusion... it's an angelic monster! Since it's an angel, it's related to the Proclaimers; since it's related to the Proclaimers, it's inextricably linked to the Ritual Academy. So, rounding it up...

Ancient Guards! You are inseparable partners of the Fusion Academy! The Fusion Academy will surely have a place for you!

In just a few seconds, the Super Magician had already figured out how to abduct the Ancient Guardian Clan—and since the Ancient Guardians had already been brought into the academy, wouldn't the success rate of abducting the Pearl Tear Elegy Clan be greatly increased?

Leyou was unaware that Super Magician, whose mind was as divergent as his own, had come up with a bunch of ideas in such a short time. Right now, he just wanted to give Super Magician a big project.

"Effect handling: First, Reno Hart's effect, which results in one 'Tearful Lament Siren Mermaid' being placed in the graveyard."

"Then another chain is formed, and because of the Ancient Guard's effect, both players' decks have 5 cards."

Helping your opponent build a graveyard carries some risk, but considering that the opponent is playing Wind Witch, Leyou felt it didn't matter.

Sure enough, after the five cards were piled up, Leyou immediately noticed that the five cards on the other side were useless cards.

For example, Dark Magician, Apprentice Archmage of Illusion, Magician's Staff, Perfect Magic...etc.? These things don't seem to have anything to do with the Wind Witch, do they?

"Good heavens...you're actually a Dark Mage with a Wind Witch attached to him?" Leyou exclaimed in realization.

"I'm a super mage, isn't it normal for me to use dark magic?" the super mage replied casually.

"That makes perfect sense... whatever makes you happy. But whether you're happy or not, I'm happy right now..."

"Argento has a follow-up effect: after filling the graveyard, if you have [Reversal of the Realm and the Underworld] in your graveyard, you can fill the graveyard with 5 more cards from either your or your opponent's deck!"

"I now meet the condition, so I'll stack 5 more cards!"

When Leyou mentioned a noteworthy name, Super Magician immediately perked up.

"Netherworld? What kind of deck is this? Why does it include Netherworld?"

He waved towards Leyou's graveyard, and the card information of Xianming appeared in front of the Super Magician. He took a closer look and saw that it was the effect after the source number was changed, not the original overpowered effect.

"The times are changing so fast, I can hardly understand these new things anymore," the Super Magician sighed, shaking his head.

Although he didn't understand the meaning of this appearance of the underworld, he was very clear about his current situation.

This deck is very good at utilizing the graveyard; they've already filled the graveyard with 10 cards. Who knows what kind of monsters will emerge later?

And indeed, there were a bunch of demons and monsters in Leyou's graveyard.

"With the effect of [Ancient Vanguard Kel'Bark] in the graveyard, both players can add 5 more cards to the graveyard. Then, because of the presence of the Extinction Trap Card, you can choose 1 Trap Card from the graveyard and set it. I set [Graveyard Guardian Trap]."

This is another card I've never heard of before, but Super Magician noticed that the figure on the card art looks very familiar...
