Duels should be played with a smile.

"But... I activate the effect of the third Sirens Mermaid, Special Summon it from my hand, and send 1 monster from my hand to the Graveyard."

Today's luck is truly strange. I have three Siren Mermaid cards: one in my hand, one in the graveyard, and one that was just banished.

"The follow-up effect of the Sirens Mermaid allows me to add 3 cards to the graveyard from the top of my deck."

The subsequent construction of the grave is no longer important.

“I take back what I just said. Your luck is indeed quite good.” Octoris looked at the siren mermaids on the Ghost Willow Field with some surprise and shook her head slightly.

If it were any other card, Kiryu wouldn't have had such a smooth run... Fortunately, when it's my turn, these cards in my hand can still exert a lot of power.

Octoris knew that the Infernal Flame deck had a very famous hand-cutting tactic, but she also knew that her own deck, as long as she had cards in hand, would definitely be able to fight back.

She is very good at taking things from others, and she has many ways to deal with situations where others take things from her.

"There's no need to discuss my luck anymore," Gui Liu said calmly. The aura he exuded, empty-handed, was even stronger than when he had five cards in his hand.

This stems from the trust in the infinite possibilities that the Infernal deck can demonstrate.

Other decks: I have a lot of cards in my hand, you're going to die.

Infernal Flame Deck: I have no cards in my hand, you're doomed.

"This duel is over," Kiryu declared.

"Stack my 4-star idols and tears on the field!"

An abundance of radiance is displayed on the field; the Infernal Flame deck never confines itself to one or two summoning methods.

"Xyz Summon! [No. 60 Dugares of the Unknown]!"

[Fire · 4☆ · Demon · Defense 1200]

A demon wielding a scepter manipulates cold flames from the underworld, while in the graveyard, other demons, also enveloped in flames, stir restlessly.

"When I have nothing, I have nothing to fear."

"When I have nothing, nothing can be taken away from me."

"Eternal Flame, also known as..."

"Its name is 'Infinite Prison'!"

"Activate the effect of Unknown, detach 2 Xyz Materials, Special Summon 1 monster from your Graveyard in Defense Position. Skip Main Phase 1 on your next turn."

In a sense, it was a huge price to pay for the unconditional resurrection of the graveyard.

"I want the monster to be resurrected, and that's it!"

"Return, [Eternal Flame Necromancer]!"

[Dark 3★ Demon 2000 Defense]

The sinister demon gave a gloomy smile, it was ready to strike.

After a long build-up, Kiryu's Infernal Flame deck finally summoned its first Infernal Flame monster.

"When I have 0 cards in my hand, once per turn, Infernal Necromancer can Special Summon 1 Infernal monster other than the one with the same name from my Graveyard!"

"Descend, [Eternal Flame Demon]!"

The Infernal Flame series, after Kiryu achieved an empty hand, began to gradually reveal its fangs. Having acquired a series of powerful effects, it also lacked the limitation of using the same card once per turn...

This is the infinite possibility of the Infinite Prison!

"The effect of Infernal Demon: If you have 0 cards in your hand, you can activate this effect when this card is successfully summoned, and search your Deck for 1 Infernal card to add to your hand."

"What I'm looking for is the Adjustment Monster [Eternal Flame Sage]."

Upon hearing the keyword, Octoris finally became interested: "Oh? Adjustment? Seeing how skillfully you use Fusion and Xyz, I almost forgot that this is actually the Synchro Dimension."

Guiliu didn't reply, but just continued with his own operation.

Once the Infernal deck successfully sets up, it won't be easy for the opponent to stop it if they don't have cards like Meteor—losing the protection of hand traps in exchange for an extreme burst of power.

This is Eternal Fire, perfectly illustrating the meaning of giving up everything in order to possess everything.

"I haven't used a normal summon this turn, so I'll use a normal summon for [Eternal Flame Sage]."

After adjusting the monster's appearance, Kiryu did not immediately synchronize with it, but instead looked at the preparations he had made earlier.

"Mud Dragon King's effect can be activated once per turn by declaring one attribute. This card's attribute changes to the declared attribute until the end of the turn. I declare [DARK]!"

The Mud Dragon King, which usually serves as a material for fusion and super fusion, actually stood on the field for a while and even produced some results, which is truly gratifying.

However, Mud Dragon King's joy didn't last long, because as a monster that could adjust its attributes at any time, becoming material seemed to be an inescapable fate.

With so many summoning methods, even if it's not used as a fusion material, there's bound to be one that suits it.

"The summoning condition is two monsters of the same race or attribute. I will use the Infernal Necromancer and the Mud Dragon King, both of the DARK attribute, as materials!"

"Link Summon! Link 2! [Alliance Transport Vehicle]!"

The transport truck, which often works overtime in various decks, has come to work in the Invincible Fire deck again. The truck driver cherishes his job opportunity very much because he knows that someone like him who travels around all the time will eventually get into trouble.

Moreover, since they only need to carry one card, if something happens, there's no such thing as 3→2 or 3→1.

"The effect of Union Transport Vehicle is activated by targeting my Infernal Fiend on the field. Equip 1 monster from your Deck with the same original Attribute as it as an Equip Card!"

Equipped cards have a self-restriction that prevents other cards from being Special Summoned this round. However, with all sorts of cards available today, a single card can have a lot of room for maneuver as long as it's on the field or in the graveyard.

The Allied Vehicle opened its compartment, and an ordinary-looking female mage stepped out and stood behind the Eternal Fire Demon.

"The card I want to equip is the Dark attribute [Holy Sound Priestess]."

These are generic monsters without any special attributes; they're nothing special and clearly not powerful cards.

Since I've already taken the self-restraint and can't summon anything, there's no need to pay attention.

Not to mention that this equipment card only stayed on the field for a few seconds before being sent to the graveyard.

"I used a Level 2 Tuner monster, Infernal Sage, to level up my Level 4 Infernal Demon!"

"Born from the endless fiery hell! [Eternal Fire Hell Demon]!"

The blazing flames slowly emerged on the field in an eerily quiet manner, and as the flames danced, the menacing body of a demon was outlined.

It's not a high-level card, nor is it a powerful effect. Apart from the fact that it requires 0 cards to activate, it seems rather unremarkable.

"The effect of Infernal Sage: This card can only be activated if it is sent to the Graveyard. Send 1 Infernal monster to the Graveyard of your Deck."

"I'm building a tomb for another [Eternal Flame Necromancer]."

Looking at the book that Guiliu seemed to have a lot more to say, Octoris couldn't help but yawn.

She somewhat regretted choosing Guiliu as her target... Generally speaking, her characteristics meant she didn't care who her opponent was; she just developed a slight interest in Guiliu after seeing his past, this guy who used to talk about "satisfaction."

As a result... now she probably understands why Guiliu, who now looks like he has a blank expression, can keep saying he's satisfied all the time.

If you tell stories to others every day, and they can only watch you talk, then you are indeed quite easily satisfied.

However... when you're facing an opponent, this experience is no different from being in prison.

"When are you going to finish?"

"When you surrender... or when you lose," Guiliu replied calmly, glancing at Octoris before turning his attention away.

"Do whatever you want, I'm so bored. This game doesn't seem as interesting as I expected..."

"Why do I have this feeling that I've experienced this kind of imprisonment before?"

Gui Liu ignored Octoris's mutterings; he simply noted down these details, intending to inform others when he returned.

"The effect of [Infernal Hellfire Demon] can be activated once per turn by targeting 1 face-up card on the field. Negate that card's effect until the end of the turn. If you have 0 cards in your hand, you can destroy that card as well. I destroy my Union Cargo."

Under the incredulous gaze of the truck driver, the demon from hell, who had initially thought he had nothing to do, began his shift.

"Even if I can't be used as material this round, they don't have to discard me so quickly, do they?" the driver said, filled with grief and indignation.

"It's no use talking to me like that. Go find my boss." The demon from hell shrugged expressionlessly and cheerfully sent the transport vehicle and its crew away.

"Now, I will unleash the most terrifying card in the Infernal Flame deck..."

"Continuous Magic Card [Eternal Fire Cannon]!"

"Then there's this card's effect: Send this card from the Spell & Trap Zone to the Graveyard, then target 2 [Infernal Necromancer] cards in my Graveyard and Special Summon those monsters!"

It's roughly equivalent to pulling 2 monsters per karaoke without any conditions. The monsters pulled out can also activate effects to continue earning. The Infinite Cannon truly lives up to its "limited to 1" mark.

The reason it's described as unconditional is that for Yonghuo, if they can't go empty-handed, they can simply move on to the next round.

"Activate the effect of the Infernal Necromancer on the field again to Special Summon the Infernal Sage from the Graveyard!"

"Then..."

The newly reappeared Eternal Flame Sage transformed into two clear halos once again, while the Hell Demon beside him eagerly flew into the sky.

"Only death can quell this endless fury. Burn everything away with your dark eyes!"

"Synchro Summon! LV8! Turn everything to ashes! [Hundred-Eyed Dragon]!"

Its not-so-robust body seemed somewhat unworthy of its majestic name, but the purple eyes covering its entire body were enough to dispel any doubts.

Rather than a dragon, it is more like an unidentified creature with countless eyes—it is not even worthy of being called a creature. Perhaps it is a kindred spirit of some higher-dimensional being, otherwise a normal creature would never be able to exhibit such an indescribable form.

This terrifying sight caused even the gentle breeze that had been blowing through this remote town to stop.

“It’s really… ugly.” Octoris turned her head away with some disgust. She was relatively indifferent, but she couldn’t bear the strange feeling when she looked into the eyes of this monster whose whole body was covered in pupils.

“In hell, no one cares about beauty or ugliness, only strength or weakness…” Gui Liu offered a brief explanation, showing no discomfort with the Hundred-Eyed Dragon’s unique appearance.

He was used to it long ago.

"The effect of Hundred-Eyed Dragon can be activated once per turn by banishing 1 Level 6 or lower DARK Effect Monster from your Graveyard. Until the End Phase, this card gains the same original card name and effect as that monster."

"I banish the [Priestess of Holy Sound] from my graveyard and gain her card name and effect."

In the cemetery, a phantom rose and vanished in an instant, but in that brief moment, the Hundred-Eyed Dragon with countless pupils had firmly memorized the appearance of the Holy Sound Priestess.

And it was transformed into his own power.

Having gained new power, Kiryu did not use it immediately, but continued to operate it.

"Another Infernal Necromancer's effect: Special Summon an Infernal Demon from the Graveyard."

"Activate the effect of Infernal Demon, search your Deck for 1 Infernal card, and chain to activate the effect of Sword Priest in your Graveyard, banishing yourself and returning a total of 5 cards from both players' Graveyards to their Deck."

Guiliu's choice was very simple: return his Infernal Cannon to its original position, and then choose any of the remaining cards.
