Duels should be played with a smile.

Even if the No. 2 lair is gone, there can be a No. 3 or No. 4, but the source code can never be found as a second backup.

He had endured for so long, preparing to go back and take revenge on that lobster-headed man; he couldn't let himself perish prematurely because of a slight oversight.

“You have committed the sin of pride.” Gohar spoke as if he were a devout believer, condemning the sins of thousands of lords who were heretics.

“You should be like me, a servant of the Creator, driven by the Creator.”

"How ridiculous." Lord Thousand sneered disdainfully. He thought that the person who came was capable of approaching him silently, but he did not expect that the first thing this seemingly powerful guy said was to ask him to be someone else's dog!

He's already acting like a dog.

"If this is all you're capable of, you might as well be my dog!"

The power of the source code has been invoked by thousands of masters, and he is now somewhat interested in this guy who has appeared out of nowhere.

No matter how much he feared this guy before, he felt no fear at all when he learned that the other party was just someone else's dog.

He had never heard of a guy who worked as someone's dog ever having any future!

Goha slowly raised his hands, and pure white starlight gathered in his hands, forming two sharp blades.

"This is utterly disrespectful!"

The next second, to the astonishment of thousands of lords, judgment descended.

The blades formed from the convergence of starlight were nothing special, but when they were fired from Gohar's hand, the thousands of lords found themselves powerless, frozen in place, their legs pierced by the two blades.

The blade pierced through the legs of the thousand lords, yet not a drop of blood flowed. This was because as the blade entered their legs, it extended outwards, absorbing their blood while simultaneously supporting their bodies like a scaffold, preventing them from collapsing to their knees due to the injuries.

"You are the Creator's chosen servant; even if you commit the sin of arrogance and disrespect, you must maintain the dignity you deserve..."

"Dignity?!" The Thousand Lords laughed in fury, his long golden hair moving without wind, his scarlet eyes appearing on his left arm, and the power of the source code flowing from his chest.

He stared intently at Goha, as if his pierced legs were merely phantom limbs, and snarled, "Is this the dignity you've bestowed upon me?"

"This kind of charity deserves to be called dignity?!"

"How dare you, a mere lackey, insult my thousand lords?!"

After the power of the source code was injected into the crimson eye on the arm, it extended with the same dazzling brilliance. The deck of cards unique to the thousands of masters flew out from the source code and was placed into the duel disk.

"Is that so..." Gohar was completely unaffected by the thousands of masters' behavior. He remained calm, but the nebula-shaped stream of light on his chest also flowed from his chest to his arms, just like the thousands of masters.

"Then let me show you the power of the Creator!"

"The Creator has bestowed His grace upon you, but you have rejected this power. Since that is so, let the power of the [Kusha Wrathful Clan] bring you to your knees at the Creator's feet!"

"Duel!"

……

"Since the Source Dragon Star, which was used as material, has left the field, I activate its third effect and Special Summon [Flame Dragon Star - Suanni] from my Deck!"

[Flame · 4★ · Phantom Dragon · Attack Power 1900]

Following the trail of light left by the Origin Dragon Star, the phantom dragon, which seemed to be breathing clouds and mist, arrived at the battlefield and stood proudly.

Even when driven by malicious capitalists, the proud Phantom Dragon retains its true nature, but is forced to unleash its power due to the rules of the world.

"The effect of Pure Dragon in the Graveyard: Banish yourself, return the Forgiveness Dragon in the Graveyard to my hand."

"And then comes the time to play the nocturne!"

Having produced flowers with minimal resource expenditure, the capitalist who acted first now held a significant advantage, and his slight upturn of the corners of his mouth revealed his delight.

The Snow Woman noticed this, but there was nothing she could do. She simply moved slightly closer to Long Ke and the others, trying to block the capitalists' gaze from that direction.

The Snow Woman could sense that as the duel progressed, something was silently changing the things around her.

At this moment, Long Ke, who was forced to become a visitor, hid behind Qiu, just like she had a few years ago, but she was no longer as weak as she had been back then.

As the dragon tamer chosen by the ancient fairy dragon, Ryuko possesses the special ability to communicate directly with spirits without any other assistance.

The moment the duel between the Snow Woman and the capitalist began, Long Ke secretly used the power of the elves to investigate the surrounding situation, trying to find out why they were trapped here.

After observing for a while, she discovered that the place seemed to be surrounded by a mysterious power, just like the situation she encountered when she saved the ancient dragon in the Elf Realm.

And coincidentally, after experiencing what happened back then, the ancient demon dragon has an extraordinary ability to restrain things like barriers.

"Ancient Demon Dragon, is there anything I can do to help Sister Snow Woman?"

"I'm sorry, Long Ke, I could have easily broken this barrier, but a few days ago, a crucial portion of my power was suddenly taken away, and I still haven't found the reason..."

"A few days ago?" Long Ke frowned slightly. The only unusual thing she had encountered in the past few days was this incident.

"Could it be Jack? This villain borrowed Jack's appearance. Could it be that Jack is now... and the power that the ancient dragon lost was taken by the red dragon to protect Jack?"

A thought crossed her mind, and a look of worry crept onto Long Ke's delicate face.

"It seems there's only one way now... Ryuko, you have to hear me calling you! Besides praying that Yuki-onna defeats this villain, the only other option is for you to come quickly and join me in this duel..."

"With the power we developed in the Hyperdimension, a power unique to the two of us..."

Just as Long Ke was calling out to his twin brother in his heart, the capitalist who summoned the Baroness was in high spirits.

"Jazz, as beautiful as a flower, should possess the same noble style."

"The Flower Baron's effect will disrupt my Suanni on the field! Flower Serenade!"

A noble and elegant violin appeared in the hands of the Flower Baroness. The knight, riding a warhorse, dismounted, replaced his weapon with the instrument, and played a melodious serenade.

After enjoying this beautiful nocturne, the phantom dragon, which had been breathing in clouds and mist, left behind a hazy cloud and disappeared without a trace.

"Suanni's effect: When this card on your field is destroyed by battle or card effect and sent to the Graveyard, you can activate this effect. Special Summon 1 other [Dragon Star] monster from your Deck, except for the same name!"

"I'm specially recruiting [Light Dragon Star - Chiwen]!"

One-star adjustment, 0 attack and 0 defense, a standard strongman's posture!

After Guanglong Star landed, the Heavenly Dragon followed closely behind, and the tiny stationery android leaped into the air, transforming into the Star Ring.

"Use the 1-star stationery doll and the 7-star Datong Panlong to adjust the stars!"

"Come on! [Radiant Dragon Star - Centipede Viper]!"

A song goes: "Unblock the field, harmonize with the Radiant Dragon Star; rotate, harmonize with the Evil Dragon Star."

However, since it's still the first turn, the removal of the field by the Shining Dragon Star is useless at this point—but there's no rule that Shining Dragon Star can't be used for maneuvering.

"Activate the effect of Starfire! Once per turn, target my Phantom Beast Tokens and any Level 4 or lower Starfire monsters in my Graveyard. Destroy the cards on the field and Special Summon monsters from my Graveyard!"

"Return, Flame Dragon Star!"

Bringing Yanlongxing back to the field out of good intentions is not a good thing. You should know that one of the capitalists’ principles is to squeeze out as much surplus value as possible—and Yanlongxing does have value to be squeezed.

In fact, if we think about it this way, some dinosaur enthusiasts might need to reflect on their behavior.

Little Horned Dragon: To be honest, that's true.

Little Pterosaur: To be honest, that's true.

After bringing Yanlong Star back, the capitalist did not immediately proceed with the next step, but instead looked at Xue Nu with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"I imagine you're getting a little impatient, and in fact, that's one of the reasons we chose to discard this product. You can probably understand how that feels, right?"

"And when you're in that situation, you must be really annoyed, right?"

The capitalist had his reasons for deliberately creating a clone to descend upon the Synchro Dimension ahead of time—Synchro, as the beginning of acceleration, and Synchro Summoning, as the representative of storytelling, are both inseparable from the development of this world.

Moreover... among the barriers formed by countless wills that have hindered them, the Synchro Dimension is the weakest—the Forbidden Card List, which was originally meant to help them, has evolved into a very special existence in this world. In addition, with the hopes of countless people placed on it, it has long been beyond their control.

Otherwise... a simple snap of the fingers would be enough to turn the vast majority of cards in the world to ashes.

Instead of slowly eroding it as it is now, and having to fight against the will of those who resist.

"Yeah, I'm really annoyed!" the Snow Woman shouted irritably, one hand on her hip, pointing impatiently at the capitalist, her face full of resentment.

"Since you know I'm really unhappy right now, why don't you hurry up and finish what you've left? Are you waiting for help, or are you planning to continue your underhanded tactics?"

"Indeed, you've already resorted to such despicable means, so I wouldn't be surprised if you added some other underhanded tactics."

The Snow Woman's appearance certainly gives the impression of a "cold beauty" in the literal sense, but when she "releases herself," the huge contrast she displays is enough to surprise people.

The Snow Woman's sarcastic remarks were so effective that the capitalist, who was about to say something, was rendered speechless by the sarcasm.

"Sharp-tongued and witty, I hope you'll still be so after you see this monster."

"I'm using a LV1 Light Dragon Star to adjust the star level of a LV8 Radiant Dragon Star!"

"Synchron Summon! [Phantom Dragon Star - Chaoswind]!"

Pure starlight fell, and Chaofeng, which had once shone brightly in Leyou's hands, now appeared opposite Xue Nu.

The snow woman really wanted to go back and beat that man up.

"Phantom Dragon Star is Synchro Summoned using a LIGHT Dragon Star monster as material, therefore you cannot activate LIGHT monster effects as long as it is on the field!"

"Now, I'll cover a backcourt card. Round over. Now, let the show begin."

The Snow Woman surveyed the capitalist's field of monsters and felt that things were getting a bit tricky. Adding to that the nine exposed cards in the back row, with only the cards in her hand... it's going to be difficult.

but...

Turning around, I saw Carly, Qiu, and Long Ke behind me.

At the same moment, they were also gazing at the snow woman's back, silently praying in their hearts.

After their cards were corrupted, their three incomplete decks might not be able to withstand this thing that was probably Phantom Dragon Jun in front of them.

Yuki-onna is indeed rather lazy and careless, but she is very similar to Leyou in one aspect.

I don't have many friends.

Therefore, we all cherish our friends.

"So... although it feels strange and a bit abrupt, it seems like I really have no way out now."

"Well... you scoundrel, if you can hear my call, then let your deck respond to me!"

"At worst... I'll just let you get the better deal when we get back."

A blush crept across her cheeks as the Snow Woman took a deep breath, focusing all her attention on this card draw.

"My turn..."

A complex magical aura rose within the deck, and the Snow Woman held her breath in concentration.

Silently calling out in her heart, at this moment, the Snow Maiden was enlightened.
