Duels should be played with a smile.

Marseille Bann's words, like the writing of some online novelists, abruptly end.

His expression was still somewhat ferocious, but it conveyed a completely different feeling.

He saw the card Carly had shown.

"If you have 'Dimensional Attractor' in your hand, and there are no cards in your Graveyard, you can discard this card from your hand to activate this effect. Until the end of the next turn, cards sent to the Graveyard are banished instead of going to the Graveyard."

In the sky, a mage in a long robe suddenly appeared. With a wave of his hand, dimensional rifts appeared, ready to open the gates and devour all the souls of the underworld.

Marseille Bane composed himself, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Carly: "...You are really greedy."

"You could have used this card from the beginning, but you activated it only now, so it's not just me who has to pay the price..."

“As long as it makes you suffer more, I don’t care if I get a few more cards removed.” Carly glared at Marseille Bane defiantly.

Once the Great Cosmos passes through, even if not all of the Tears of the Pearl are sent, a large portion of them will be sent. As for Carly, even if she is excluded, it doesn't matter. She can just pretend that the cards she didn't draw don't exist!

The pot with 10 cards on the inside side is used by a bunch of card players!

“But your plan might not work!” Marseille Bane snorted and slapped a card onto the Duel Disk.

"Chain activation of Graveyard Finger in your hand, banish your Dimensional Attractor! Negate cards with the same name for two turns!"

Ash Blossom's good friend instantly sprang up from the graveyard. The unpicky Graveyard Finger, seeing a new friend today, was eager to catch the Great Cosmic Man.

"That's not necessarily true!" Carly snorted, then tossed another card into the graveyard, a smug look flashing in her eyes.

"Hmph, I really have to thank you. If you hadn't tampered with my deck, my hand trap concentration wouldn't be this high right now!"

"Discard the [Yashiki-warashi] card from your hand, because the Graveyard contains the effects of cards banished from the Graveyard, so the activation of the [Yashiki-warashi] card will be negated!"

Another good friend of Ash Blossom stepped forward. The moment she saw Tombfinger causing trouble, she ran over, lifted her gothic dress, and kicked Tombfinger away.

Marseille Benn looked at his last two cards, his face turning ashen, and inwardly cursed, "You bastard!"

This duel... is going to be tough.

The effect of the Great Cosmosman was activated, and both sides' decks were instantly flipped. Cards that were originally going to be sent to the graveyard by Ancient Vanguard and Ancient Guard were affected by the dimensional rift in the sky and flew into the dimensional rift, being thrown into another dimension.

Marseille Bane's attention was entirely focused on Kali's banished cards. He knew his deck well and knew that he was severely weakened after this banishment. His only hope now rested on the possibility that his opponent had also banished many key cards.

but...

When he saw the 10 cards that Carly had been excluded, he almost lost his composure.

On the other side, Long Ke and Carly also couldn't hold back. They looked at each other, both feeling a little awkward.

"【Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring】【DD Raven】【Misty Wood】【Ghost Rabbit】【Growling G】【Effect Veiler】【Primal Lifeform Nibiru】【Infinite Bubble】【Void Space】【Clown and Locked Bird】... There isn't a single normal card in your deck. What exactly is the composition of this deck?"

Marseille Bann's voice trembled when he asked the question.

What kind of supernatural being could build a deck like this?

Including the Yashiki-warashi and the Great Cosmos that I just threw out, a full fifth of the 60-card deck is made up of these things.

"Aren't you afraid of getting stuck with all these cards?"

"I didn't want to either..." Carly muttered to herself, looking up at the sky. But when she looked up, she saw the cards floating in the sky, and immediately looked down again, drawing circles on the ground with her toes, looking particularly aggrieved.

"If you hadn't dismantled my deck to pieces, I wouldn't have had to stuff things from other decks into it!"

"Then why are all yours hand-shaped pits?!"

"The only useful card that can be squeezed into other decks is a hand trap!"

Marseille-Bann remained silent.

He started to think about whether he should talk to the guy who had forced him to take on this task when he got back, and tell him not to pull any more tricks up his sleeve. He thought that the Yin Qiang card was enough... or maybe he should just quit? He couldn't fight back, but it seemed like he could choose to give up?

The moment the thought of giving up crossed my mind, Marseille-Ban felt as if he were being influenced by some force, losing all motivation and only thinking about slacking off.

Anyway, this duel... I won't say anymore, it's all tears if I talk about it too much.

"You got lucky this time... but with such a messy deck, it's not necessarily going to be able to beat me..."

"Solvador Kana!" Carly instantly gained momentum, ignoring that Marseille Bane hadn't finished his turn yet, and immediately prepared to draw a card. "This deck of mine was given to me by someone else, and it fits my Earthbound God deck perfectly! If you hadn't taken my Earthbound God, defeating you wouldn't have been too difficult for me!"

"Hmph, then I'll wait and see... The effects of the Great Cosmos affect both sides, and your development will also be affected!"

"Then watch closely! My turn! Draw a card!"

Carly glanced at the card she had drawn, and her expression suddenly turned somewhat strange.

When did I add this card? But it seems pretty suitable for my current situation!

"To tell you the truth, my equation for victory was already set up from the very beginning!"

Carly smiled as she took one card from her original three hand cards.

"The effects of the Great Cosmos can't affect me!"

"Let me defeat you using the most primal summoning method!"

"Normal Summon: [Wind-Traveling Bird x Robin]! Now it's my turn to ask you a question!"

Is there a chain?

Chapter Twenty-Nine: This guy... has the potential to be a cross-dresser!

The atmosphere on the field was somewhat subdued. Marseille Bann remained silent with a furrowed brow, while Carly on the other side looked confident of victory.

I opened a powerful pot and drew two cards. The situation is now very favorable!

Never before had a duel excited Carly so much—not only because she had defeated a formidable opponent despite being tricked, but also because of the action she was about to take.

Migratory birds flew leisurely across the field. This group of harmless birds, with no ill intentions, who only wanted to travel everywhere, were always so relaxed and serene.

Although whenever something happens, they instantly gather their entire family, relatives, and friends to beat up the enemy.

Of the two cards drawn, one of them really excited Carly, and she even had the idea of ​​showing it off to Jack—Jack would definitely love this kind of scene!

"Offer my robin, ostrich, and bald eagle as sacrifices!"

Thunder rumbled across the sky, and in an instant, dark clouds gathered.

The dimensional rift created by the Dimensional Attractor had disappeared at the end of her previous turn, but Kali immediately replaced it with [Cosmos] and [Dimensional Rift]. At this moment, the dreamlike nebula galaxy, the dimensional rift, and the sky full of dark clouds and lightning intertwined to form a beautiful picture.

A scene that Carly considered absolutely breathtaking.

Of course, in Marseille Bann's eyes, that was a scroll of hell.

"God's call!"

Carly excitedly slammed the unique red-bordered card onto the Duel Disk, and a surge of electricity seemed to run through the ordinary Duel Disk.

"Descend, God of the Underworld! [Osiris the Sky Dragon]!"

A magnificent dragon appeared in the sky at some unknown time, its enormous head piercing through the dark clouds, bypassing dimensional rifts and nebulae and galaxies, and descending upon this place.

The moment Kali summoned the Sky Dragon, she understood why Leyou had said that this deck was very suitable for his Earthbound God. She even began to imagine that if her Earthbound God was still around, she could even make the Earthbound God and the Sky Dragon, this ancient and legendary card, compete for glory on the same stage.

Marseille Bane on the opposite side didn't look too good at the moment. Even if the Sky Dragon summoned by Kali was a replica version and there couldn't be any elves residing in it, the Sky Dragon's suppression effect was still very obvious.

Fortunately... she only has one card left in her hand. The Sky Dragon's attack power is very low, and she still has LP left, so there's no need to panic.

“It’s not over yet! My round has only just begun!” Carly interrupted Marseille Bane’s thoughts.

"The effect of the Field Spell Card [Windswept Bird and Mysterious Map] reveals [Windswept Bird x Robin] from my hand, and then banishes [Windswept Bird x Toucan] cards with different names from my Deck!"

"After that, I can Normal Summon the monsters that are displayed!"

This turn's normal summon was used on Sky Dragon, but that's okay! Windrunner has a hundred ways to jump onto the field!

"The robin's effect: retrieves the bald eagle!"

"And, in this very instant!"

A robin called out, and the three small birds that had been sacrificed earlier, along with the toucan from before, responded to the robin's call in the sky.

"The combined effect of Robin, Bald Eagle, Toucan, and Ostrich! If you summon a Winged Beast monster while banishing it, you can activate this effect and return it to your hand!"

"The Robin's Search (C1), and cards C2 through C5, all four of them are back in my hand!"

"Therefore, my hand now has 5 cards!"

Like a hat trick, using the map on the field, Carly instantly replenished the resources she had just used up. This is the power of the Windwalker!

Of course, robin eating dust is another matter entirely.

The robin cries: I'm ashes, I can't come!

As the number of cards in hand surged, the previously quiet Sky Dragon also became spirited, its wide wings and magnificent body enough to cover the sky.

"The Sky Dragon's continuous effect has increased its attack power because I have more cards in my hand!"

Neither of them chose to deal with the subsequent summoning effect of Robin. At this moment, the Sky Dragon with a full 5000 ATK, plus the other monsters on her field, was enough to win this duel!

"Advance! to! Battle! Rank!"

Since being with Jack, Carly's somewhat impulsive and noisy personality has changed quite a bit. However, this time, Long Ke saw an even more dazzling brilliance in her than before.

"God of the Underworld! Direct Attack! Superconducting Wave - Lightning Cannon!"

Endless lightning spewed from the sky dragon's mouth, unleashing divine punishment upon Marseillebane.

Without the wall monster, he could only endure the divine lightning alone.

As the lightning struck, Marseille Bane felt time slow down dramatically, even allowing him to ponder why he had failed despite using such a powerful deck, and why he had been defeated by Kali in such a dramatic way.

Her soul was dazzling... but before this duel began, it wasn't as dazzling; it was merely interesting at best...

In that brief moment, Marseille Bane met Carly's gaze.

A strange power, of unknown origin, permeated his body. With the help of this power, his gaze passed through those large glasses, and he saw the eyes behind the lenses, and the soul within those eyes.

He saw more than one figure in those eyes.

"So that's how it is..."

Leaving behind a sigh that seemed to go unnoticed, Kassaban vanished, bathed in the lightning of the god of the underworld.

After the lightning dissipated, Carly stared blankly at the empty space, lost in thought.

"That's... the end? Where did he go?"

A sense of panic washed over her. Her voice trembled slightly as she turned to look at Long Ke, tentatively asking, "Did I...?"
