Duels should be played with a smile.

"Return, Stardust Dragon!"

[Wind · 8-Star · Dragon · Attack 2500 · Defense 2000]

With a Sin Stardust Dragon already on the field, the original Stardust Dragon also came onto the field, the two dragons standing side by side, showing a unique beauty.

Hmm...it's probably something like twins in black and white stockings. Please use your imagination to fill in the rest, or try searching on a website that starts with P.

If you find it, please send me a copy. May you live a long and peaceful life.

"Duel King! Although you set up complicated rules in the future to restrict the circulation of some cards, I still managed to acquire many powerful cards through my own strength! Today, I'm going to show you this card that can unleash terrifying power in which deck!"

With only two cards left in his hand, Paradox played this card, which was somewhat compatible with his deck.

"I activate the effect of [Starry Sky Green Corridor Beast] from my hand! Once per turn, you can target 1 banished monster of yours other than this card; Special Summon this card from your hand and return the targeted monster to your Deck."

"I return the banished [Sinful Contradictory Dragon] to the Deck! Special Summon Star Guardian!"

A vibrant green whirlwind swept across the field, and a tiny blue planet appeared on the field.

The planet emitted a tremendous gravitational pull, drawing the excluded Contradictory Dragon back. After completing its mission, azure winds and thunder reappeared around the blue planet, outlining the silhouette of a winged human.

Its wings are connected to its arms, and its lower body is like a bird's claws. The blue planet is its head, and wind and thunder are its body.

[Wind · 4-Star · Thunder Clan · Attack 1900 · Defense 600]

This is the being called Starry Green Corridor Beast, a monster that belongs to the one that Leyou previously used [Great Starry Ultimate Dragon] and also bears the name [Starry].

The Great Stars are associated with planets, while the Lesser Stars are associated with planets; this is the characteristic of their race.

However, Starry Green Corridor Beast is a rather special existence among the Starry family because it has such good synergy with a certain card that it often appears as a standalone accessory in some decks—for example, in the "Bad Boys" deck.

He himself is not particularly powerful, but his appearance always attracts thunder and lightning.

"The Starry Green Corridor Beast is a ThunderClan monster, therefore, that monster can also make an appearance!"

"During the turn a Thunder-Type monster's effect is activated from your hand, you can Tribute 1 Thunder-Type Effect Monster you control (other than a Fusion Monster) to Special Summon it from your Extra Deck!"

Thinking back to that duel when I first encountered this monster, that deck called "Balancing Jun," Paradox still feels a chill even now.

Later, he encountered another deck using this monster, which also scared him quite a bit. Fortunately, that guy didn't seem to have enough money, so his deck wasn't in its complete form. After several rounds of battle, Paradox finally used the information gap to defeat that guy and took the two cards that could work together from that random guy.

"This is the card I went through so much trouble to get back!!!"

"I unleash the [Starry Green Corridor Beast] on the field!"

"Thunderbolts strike! O dragon born from a thousand bolts of lightning! Command your boundless thunder and bring divine punishment upon my enemies!"

"Special Summon [Super Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon]!"

A thunderous roar resounded, and the Starry Green Corridor Beast vanished, but the wind and thunder power it left behind gradually grew stronger, eventually transforming into a massive tornado.

The tornado stirred up the clouds, and the sky darkened without anyone noticing. Within the dark clouds, a dark purple figure appeared and disappeared intermittently.

Suddenly, as if something was interfering with the tornado's movement, the tornado abruptly contracted, then immediately rebounded and expanded.

As if it had been suppressed to the extreme and was about to burst forth, in just a moment, the tornado and dark clouds shattered, and in its place was a magnificent and majestic dragon.

[Light - 8-Star - Thunder Clan - Attack 2600 - Defense 2400]

"The effect of [Super Thunder Dragon] is that as long as this card is in the Monster Zone, your opponent cannot add cards from the Deck to their hand by means other than drawing cards."

"As long as this card is on the field, you cannot move your deck!"

At this point, there are 5 monsters on the Paradox Field. The two Black and White Stardust Dragons have the lowest attack power, which is the protagonist's standard 2500. In addition, the Stardust Dragons also have a countermeasure that can nullify destruction effects and destroy them.

The existence of Super Thunder Dragon can block deck search methods, and Super Thunder Dragon can also banish Celestial Green Corridor Beast from the graveyard to replace it when it is destroyed, which is equivalent to having two lives.

Sigma needs no introduction; with 3000 damage and all resistances, he can often solo an opponent's deck.

The Paradox Dragon boasts a whopping 4000 attack power. While its weakness is the lack of resistance, the Stardust Dragon can still be considered a decent protection.

With five monsters and a combined attack power of 14600, Paradox proved the strength of this deck through its actions.

The downside is that it doesn't have Kang.

"I'll place my last card face down in the back row. End of turn. Come on, Duel King, let me see your power!"

"If you cannot defeat my monster, then the next turn will be your death!"

Ah, if only I could have rare cards!!!

In fact, Paradox later obtained a trap card that perfectly matched his deck and was easy to acquire, called [Skill Drain]. He filled his deck with three of them, but this time his luck wasn't too good, and he couldn't get his hands on it.

Sure enough, the more we duel, the more I want to grind this guy to dust! He's the one who prevented me from getting rare cards!!!

Feeling the inexplicable and powerful resentment emanating from the other side, Leyou was truly baffled.

Is your resentment really born out of a desire to save the world? Just how outrageous is my future self?

Furthermore, if I remember correctly, the self who learned their true name seemed to be a unique existence in a multiverse? Then what about the self in the future timeline?

When Leyou thought about these strange things, his thoughts involuntarily wandered, from the future timeline to the past, to himself, and to all sorts of miscellaneous and chaotic things—which, in the eyes of the paradox, appeared as him spacing out.

It wasn't until the Snow Maiden beside him couldn't stand it anymore and pinched the soft flesh on Leyou's waist that he was finally brought back from his reverie.

"I understand the reasoning, but please don't pinch me like that next time, okay? It hurts a lot." Rubbing her waist, Leyou came back to her senses and complained lightly.

"Oh? So where do you want to pinch?" The Snow Woman chuckled, covering her mouth, her gaze shifting over Leyou. "Is it here? Is it here? Or..."

"Alright, you can go stand over there. Women will only slow me down!"

"Tch, when things are good they call us their sweet little darling, when they don't want us anymore they make us crawl on top of them, ha, men!"

"Tch, when things are good, they're all obedient, but when things are bad, they spread rumors and ruin my reputation. Ha, women!"

After drawing the cards for this round, glancing at his hand and then at the opponent's board, Leyou breathed a sigh of relief. This deck was quite fun, but it was also prone to hand mishaps. Fortunately, it seemed that the synergy was in place this time.

"It's my turn, is there anything wrong with the Quasi-Rank?"

If there's only one face-down card on the opponent's field that's unknown, the earlier you trigger it, the safer you'll be afterwards.

Paradox shook his head to indicate that he was fine. He actually really wanted to exchange this card for a multiplier card, but unfortunately, he couldn't win, couldn't buy one, and couldn't afford one.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

"Then, for me, the main rank... your situation is really a bit tricky!"

"Ha, Duel King, you'd better surrender now!" Paradox thought with glee. "I know very well that as long as Super Thunder Dragon is on the field, most decks can't act, but you can't possibly destroy my Super Thunder Dragon with my multiple defenses!"

"That's why I hate you storytellers the most! You talk for ages without giving anyone else a chance to play Yu-Gi-Oh!!"

Leyou took out the first of the six cards and held it high.

"Masaka?! Could it be a drop? Or a barrier wave?"

Leyou stopped what he was doing and tilted his head: "No, I don't have those things in my deck."

He breathed a slight sigh of relief, but seeing Leyou's serious expression, Paradox couldn't help but ask, "So what exactly are you...?"

"Don't ask, just watch and learn. This is exactly what you need to deal with storytellers who like to make a big show!"

"I'm releasing Sigma, Stardust Dragon, and Super Thunder Dragon from your field to give you this super powerful Level 10 monster!"

"Feel the descent of the gods! [Winged Dragon of the Sun - Spherical Shape]!"

Sigma with full resistance, Stardust Dragon with anti-destruction, and Super Thunder Dragon with blocking retrieval—these three powerful monsters transformed into a beam of light and flew into the sky. Above them, a huge golden sphere floated silently.

[God - 10 Stars - Phantom Beast Race - Attack Power? - Defense Power?]

By relieving three monsters on your opponent's field, you can summon this invincible egg to their field. If the egg is summoned in this way, it will return to its original owner's field at the end of the next turn. It can be said to be a perfect counter to all kinds of storytellers.

After all, in Yu-Gi-Oh!, there's a saying that a single monster can eat a turtle, two monsters can eat a giant turtle, and three monsters can eat an egg.

Now, Paradox, who was originally full of confidence, felt like he had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat when he saw this extra egg on his field; he wanted to vomit but couldn't.

Where are my three huge monsters? How come now all that's left is a useless egg?

"Cheer up! I gave you a super powerful God Card, even though it's just a prototype. It's a unique Phantom Beast with a unique divine attribute! So, cheer up! Duels are meant to be played with a smile!"

Whether the paradox is funny or not, Leyou is definitely laughing.

So you guys like storytelling, huh? So you guys like to talk for several minutes in one round, huh?

Here's an egg for you. Now it's my turn to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

"I activate the spell card [Inferno], dealing 1000 damage to you and 500 damage to myself."

A burst of flames caused negligible damage to the couple's partners.

[Leyou LP: 8000 → 7500]

[Paradox LP: 8000→7000]

It's fair to say that this is a very puzzling operation, at least according to the paradox.

But the next second, he changed his mind.

"Because I took effect damage, the effect of this card in my hand can be triggered, and I can Special Summon it!"

"Come on! The second strongest monster of the Slime race!"

"【Guardian Slime】!"

Chapter 101 Isn't this also a kind of minotaur?

A blob of blue slime was thrown onto the field with a thud. After searching for a while, the slime locked onto the egg on the opposite side of the field, then imitated the egg, changing its shape to be similar. It then adjusted its direction to indicate that it was in a defense position.

[Water - 10-Star - Aquatic - Attack 0 - Defense 0]

"Guardian Slime? You mean you want to?!"

Paradox, being a time traveler, naturally knew the name of the Egyptian Gods. According to historical records, the complete forms of the Egyptian Gods were only collected by two Duel Kings. After the spirits of the Egyptian Gods left with the Pharaoh, the complete forms of the Egyptian Gods never existed in the world again.

However, because of the departure of the elves, cards related to the Egyptian God cards could be made, and many replicas of the Egyptian God cards and related cards appeared in the world. The most famous of these is the egg that is currently on my field.

"Although I don't know what you're guessing, summoning this slime is indeed just a stepping stone."

This deck was created by Leyou on a whim after he obtained the official versions of the three Egyptian God cards.

Because he couldn't understand the priestly script and didn't think to ask the elves around him, the Egyptian God cards in his possession remained unused. However, since he had obtained the official Egyptian God cards, the OCG versions of the Egyptian God cards and related cards in the system were also unlocked. So, when he was bored, he tinkered with this deck.

Since I already have all the original cards, and Guangchuang has already recognized me, I'll try out your other versions. You can't possibly give me any feedback, right?

If there's any objection, it's estimated that Leyou will use the three Egyptian God cards as high-powered power banks—the energy of the three Egyptian God cards seems to be able to replace the duelists' spiritual energy residing in the Duel Disk, as mentioned by the system, to strengthen Leyou himself. So, in fact, the three Egyptian God cards have been acting as low-powered power banks for Leyou lately.

The reason I didn't go all out on the draw was because I was afraid that if I really drained him dry, I wouldn't be able to return to the Underworld, and that would be a really big problem.
