Duels should be played with a smile.

"And then, as you know, it's the current situation. In a world where duels can solve everything, all I have to do is prevent the duels from starting."

"The one talking to you now is indeed me, but I am not in physical form. I have only separated a portion of my intelligence into this consciousness, and I have also slightly modified the rules of this secondary world. You cannot challenge me to a duel."

K paused, then, as if summarizing at the end of a speech, slowly uttered his final sentence: "In short, in this world where duels can solve most problems, if we look at it from the other side—preventing duels from even starting—then..."

"Many things could not proceed."

"This is just a small arrangement I made."

As if to prove his words were true, K deliberately made his body more illusory. Leyou tried it and found that he was indeed unable to duel against this illusory figure.

Now... it's the enemy's turn to have their plan succeed.

"Why are you telling me all this? Usually, villains die from talking too much. You didn't need to do it, did you?"

“I’ll say it again.” K’s eyes were full of amusement, and he made that expression once more.

"Of course, it's because it's fun."

"Tsk... As expected of you." Leyou sighed, staring at the smug K with a complicated expression. He clenched his fist, but in the end, he just shook his head and let go.

"Dog K, you're really despicable these days!"

--

I spent the entire weekend thinking, from childhood to now, about a bunch of games I still remember, but I still couldn't find a suitable one.

Am I really going to write Red Alert, StarCraft, and Warcraft for my last volume?

It seems... it's not entirely impossible?

As long as you let yourself go, you can be fearless... right?

Chapter Sixty-Six: To accomplish great things, one must first thoroughly understand them.

Most animal offspring are depicted as delicate and adorable, which conveys the message that they are weak and harmless, and evokes sympathy and pity from other animals.

Yuki-onna felt that the reason why the human form that inherited fiberglass was so pitiful was probably because of this layer of meaning.

She is absolutely exquisitely beautiful in the literal sense. If she hadn't inherited the cuteness trait from fiberglass, Yuki-onna might have felt inferior, and she might even have secretly harbored some wicked thoughts.

She possesses an irresistible charm that appeals to all ages. Perhaps it is because of her striking appearance that even though countless people flock to her and harbor covetous thoughts, they cannot bring themselves to offend her, allowing her to maintain a peaceful life.

However, it is clear that her naturally cute appearance has no effect on K.

Indeed, when K tried to capture the essence of fiberglass, he examined it entirely from the perspective of viewing a product or a card.

In this situation, it is perfectly reasonable for K to seize and lock up the fiberglass without any mercy.

No matter how endearing the fiberglass heir may be, one cannot ignore the formidable strength beneath her delicate appearance.

"Wow... I really can't believe it. How could someone so young commit so many heinous crimes?"

"Lady Yuki-onna, please don't tease me like that." Ji Chengboxian waved her hand gently at Yuki-onna with a slight smile and a hint of shyness, yet she gave off a feeling of gentleness on the outside but strength on the inside.

After being rescued by the Snow Woman and having her restraints removed, she immediately changed her disheveled clothes into neat and dignified formal attire, showing no trace of the disheveled state she had been in just a few seconds earlier.

'This child... could he be the kind who's obsessed with saving face?' Snow Woman wondered with a touch of wicked amusement.

"Alright, I was just joking. We don't seem to have much time to waste right now... I think we need to..."

“I know,” Inherited Fiberglass nodded before Snow Woman could speak. “I know all about these things, and many other things.”

Despite her small stature of no more than 1.4 meters, the Snow Woman exuded an aura of majesty, which was softened by the gentle smile on her face, making her appear as warm and welcoming as a spring breeze.

The wisdom in her eyes seemed out of place for her small frame, yet it revealed a profound understanding of everything.

"The time is almost up."

"Stop!" Snow Woman suddenly interrupted Inherited Fiberglass's words. Such a sudden interruption would normally make people unhappy, but Inherited Fiberglass didn't even frown.

She appeared incredibly calm, as if, as she said, she knew everything.

"Putting everything else aside, could you please stop talking in such a charlatan-like and riddle-like way?"

"I've already heard so many riddles lately, I really can't keep up with any more."

The Snow Woman, complaining in a carefree manner, now looks exactly like Leyou.

People only stop disliking riddlers when they themselves are the riddle-maker.

“I’m so sorry, I’ve always been used to this way of speaking…” Inherited Fiberglass said apologetically, explaining softly, “Because of some rumors, many duelists always hope to hear a few words about the future from me, so I have no choice but to use this rather ambiguous way to deal with them.”

“I understand.” The Snow Woman thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement, but then asked with some curiosity, “Speaking of which, being able to predict the future is really cool.”

"It's not as wonderful as you think." Jicheng Fiberglass shook its head slightly.

"Ok?"

The Snow Woman felt as if she had heard something incredible.

"As you think, I can see parts of the future... No, I can't tell if it's really the future or not, it's just that many things I foresaw before have come to pass as predicted."

"But... since you don't like the Riddler, you should be able to imagine what it's like to only see fragmented pieces, right?"

In the past, images that seemed meaningless at the time would occasionally flash before Chengji Fiberglass's eyes and mind—fragmented, chaotic, and of little value.

Only after she has personally experienced that situation will she suddenly realize and feel a sense of déjà vu, understanding that this is how it works.

This strange feeling once made her wonder if she, like other humans, was having her brain weave false memories—many ordinary people occasionally experience déjà vu, which is when their brains are lying.

Clearly, as an elf, she does not possess the same physical structure as humans. After eliminating other possibilities, there is only one answer left.

"Uh... I roughly understand. It's probably like watching those fragmented PVs that are deliberately edited into pieces, right? That kind of thing... is really not as good as not knowing the future at all."

What's more frustrating than being spoiled is when something is spoiled but not completely.

The feeling of being stuck in the middle is probably even more unbearable than being completely stuck.

"Since that's the case...then what you just did..."

"Most of the time, you can see fragmented memories, but as long as the time span is long enough and the memory is clear enough, the fragments can be pieced together into a jigsaw puzzle with effort."

"..."

The snow woman was speechless.

She roughly understood what inheriting fiberglass meant... but upon closer reflection, it was somewhat frightening.

Yes, the word "terrifying" is exactly what it means.

Even with a reference image, a typical two-dimensional jigsaw puzzle can take a very long time to complete, provided it is large enough and has a large number of pieces.

What fiberglass just mentioned is roughly equivalent to assembling three-dimensional building blocks, no... not just three-dimensional, but also the time dimension, and there are absolutely no reference diagrams.

Countless memories intertwined in her mind, and she had to piece together complete scenes from countless fragments, without any basis and with the number of fragments constantly changing.

If prophets and seers are all like this... Yuki-onna thinks it's fine to just be an ordinary person.

This is something no normal person could handle! Even with a supercomputer, it would take forever! This is simply not feasible!

The snow woman didn't say it aloud, but her surprise was written all over her face.

Seeing the Snow Woman's surprise, even the inherited fiberglass, who had been maintaining an understanding smile, finally revealed a knowing smile.

This was the first time in a long time that she had opened up to others, and seeing such an interesting scene, she thought it was pretty good.

"I'm not in a position to comment... Just say what you want to say. I'm just an ordinary, weak Link 2 monster. Please feel free to say whatever you want."

"This..." Before inheriting the fiberglass, she had always held a superior position in the clan, and those who interacted with her on a daily basis were always very respectful. She had imagined that the Snow Maiden would be in this situation, but when she actually encountered it, she was still somewhat at a loss.

After frowning and thinking for a long time, she suddenly realized and slapped her forehead: "What weak Link 2 monster? You are, and so am I."

Using a trivial topic to ease the tension, the two, who were initially somewhat distant, easily eliminated the subtle barrier between them through a simple conversation.

Inheriting fiberglass felt novel and interesting.

She wondered if the fact that they had gotten closer so quickly was unintentional or intentional on the part of the Snow Woman.

This seemingly carefree and undisciplined "big sister" is not as simple as she appears.

"Alright, alright, let's get started. If we keep chatting like this, I might suddenly disappear and you'll kick the bucket too."

"what?"

"If this goes on any longer, that guy might be finished."

"Ah...oh, okay, I was too lazy."

Shaking his head slightly to clear his mind of distractions, and looking at the unserious Snow Woman, Jicheng Glass Fiber realized that he had probably been overthinking things.

"Let's get down to business first... But don't worry, Sister Yuki-onna, 'He' will be fine."

"because..."

In his wise eyes was a strong sense of confidence; this was the first time the Snow Woman had seen such a "strong" will in Inherited Fiberglass.

This is completely different from her previous gentle and delicate temperament.

“Because… from the moment I met you, from the moment I was certain that ‘everyone’ had recovered, ‘He’ had already turned the tide.”

"defeat?"

Snow Woman frowned. Hearing those two words made her uneasy, and just then, the inheritance of fiberglass seemed to start speaking in riddles again.

"That's right, the defeat has been reversed. We are still at a slight disadvantage, but we have caught a glimmer of hope."

"...I get the feeling you're talking about something very important, but when I think about it, it seems we haven't really experienced anything that could be described as thrilling or earth-shattering in all this time."

"Even if I can only guess a little bit, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the crisis you're talking about."

Faced with the Snow Woman's question, Inherited Fiberglass did not answer this time, but walked aside and began its own actions.

A phantom flickered around the exquisitely beautiful little girl. In the blink of an eye, the little girl vanished, replaced by a sophisticated mechanical creation adorned with jade.

One can vaguely see some resemblance to her fiberglass human form in the mechanical creation, because her elven form is not exactly the same as the appearance on the regular cards, but rather quite different.

"You will feel that everything is such a coincidence, simply because your journey is indeed made up of countless coincidences."

"In the footage I've seen, there have been countless failures. In those countless failures, 'he' was most of the time extremely serious and focused on his mission... but in the end, he would always fail because of a little bit of luck."

A mysterious magic circle gradually appeared beneath the inherited fiberglass. The Snow Woman looked at it for a long time, but could only recognize that the main body of the magic circle was roughly a circle plus a triangle... which seemed like nonsense.

As the inheritor of fiberglass narrated, scenes that the Snow Woman had never seen before appeared before her eyes.

Just as fiberglass said, the people on the screen are exactly the same as Leyou, doing similar things as they did before.
