Yu-Gi-Oh!: This card wants to go to you.

"Except for the Graveyard [4624] activation, change [No Rage] to Defense Position!"

"【No Zero Rage】Effect!"

"Draw—a card!"

A beam of white light pierced through the black mist, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, flashing with a firm and dazzling light, like a sharp sword in the hand of a warrior, cutting through the shackles of darkness.

The man in the black iron mask was filled with shock and fear upon witnessing this scene. His eyes showed disbelief, and his body was as stiff as stone, as if he had been frozen in place by that white light.

"Two synchronization terminals, and two cards were drawn..." He cast a blank yet wary glance at me.

"I admit, I underestimated you."

"However, your elaboration should end here."

"The highest level of [Ingenuity] is level 9, right?"

The man in the black iron mask smiled confidently again, knowing that the "Ingenuity" had been included in the "Alliance."

“That’s right.” Luo Bai nodded in agreement.

"But my story isn't over yet!"

"What..." The man in the black iron mask exclaimed in surprise.

Luo Bai's voice continued to echo in the empty mountain forest.

"A level 4 [Crimson Crystal Sparrow] and a level 1 [4624] are being upgraded!"

Synchro Summon!

"Hear the call of the stardust."

"Appear!"

"Level 5, [Accel Synchronizer]!"

Starlight summoning arrays intertwined in the void, revealing mechanical bodies tempered by the flames of war.

"Activate the effect of [Accel Synchron], send [Revolution Synchron] from the Deck to the Graveyard, and this card becomes Level 2."

"This is the last one!"

"Activate the effect of the Graveyard card 'Revolution Synchron', add one card to the top of your Deck in the Graveyard, Special Summon this card from the Graveyard, and change its Level to 1."

That's about it.

"Three adjustments...are they coming?" The man in the black iron mask tensed up and said coldly, "Your final and strongest Synchro Summon."

"No, no, no," Luo Bai quickly waved his hand.

"Second round, end."

"???"

The man in the black iron mask frowned, completely dumbfounded.

I thought you were going to end it, but you kept going. I thought you were going to keep going, but you ended it in two rounds.

"This person really doesn't play by the rules."

5 in front, 2 behind, 1 hand, blue side LP8000.

"My turn," the masked man said sharply, "Draw a card!"

[A pot overflowing with gold due to strong desires]

"Hmph↗↘" He gave a sly, confident smile.

"Preparation, main point."

【Ding】

[Card verification in progress...]

In that tense and suspenseful minute, the man in the black iron mask kept his eyes fixed on the monster card on the field.

"Hahaha..."

Suddenly, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he let out a low, hoarse laugh, a laugh filled with surprise, mockery, and even a hint of barely perceptible provocation.

"It took me half a day to operate."

"As a result, there wasn't a single counter-attack on the field, hahaha..."

The air around them seemed to freeze, becoming eerily sinister, because of the sudden laughter.

Yes, none of the monsters that Luo Bai has on the surface have a counter (counter). He deduced that the opponent is [Shell], which cannot chain with Pendulum Summon and [Dull], making it unsuitable as a counter.

Luo Bai smiled slightly, shrugged, and waved his hand, saying, "Please enlighten me."

"Then let's witness the power of the gods!" the masked man laughed loudly. "Activate the spell card [Pot of Greed]!"

"Except for the 6 extra cards on the inside, draw two!"

Holding seven cards in his hand, his smile grew even wider.

"I set the [Ugly Crafting Tool] to a pendulum scale and made the payment..."

"Wait a minute!" Luo Bai interrupted coldly. The man in the black iron mask was obviously stunned, and his movements became somewhat sluggish, as if it was the first time he had been disturbed at this moment.

"Activate the Graveyard [4624] effect!"

"There's a second-speed graveyard effect too?!" The black-masked man's body tensed up suddenly. Kacha was too tense for a minute. He had to check the five monsters on the field, so he didn't have time to check the graveyard.

“This card is activated except by banishing it!” Luo Bai continued.

"Change [No Zero Weapon] to a defensive stance."

"Induced".

"C1 [No Rage] Draw 1 card, C2 [No Weapon] Banish 1 card from your opponent's field!"

Chapter 167 The Destroyer's Gaze (6)

"Except for [Machine Shell Tool - Ugly]!" Luo Bai shouted, waving his hand. "Next, draw cards!"

【whirlwind】

"Ness!"

He was secretly pleased; with [Whirlwind], he could remove a fatal sticker in T3.

"Hmph." The man in the black iron mask snorted coldly, a wicked smile playing on his lips. "You don't think this will stop me, do you?"

"I'm setting the second [Casing Tools - Ugly] card to pendulum scale!"

A red pillar of light rose.

←9【Pendulum】9→

Luo Bai glanced at him calmly and without saying a word. His gaze was like a still lake, seemingly calm on the surface, but deep and complex.

"call..."

Faced with his gaze, the man in the black iron mask clearly felt an invisible pressure; the feeling of being seen through made his breathing quicken.

Luo Bai did not respond or follow up, but simply remained silent and gazed.

"Pay 800 base points!" the masked man roared through gritted teeth, activating the [Ugly] effect!

"what--"

He clutched his chest, as if enduring some kind of pain.

A blue shadow line rose from the back of his neck, connecting to the phantom of "Materialism" high in the sky, as if what was paid was not basic points, but the duelist's life force or soul.

Search for "[Casing Alias ​​- Dullness]!"

"He didn't check the cards, and he's so calm..." the masked man muttered, a strange pressure rising within him. "Does he know my deck? What exactly is he playing..."

His brows furrowed even more.

Fear stems from the unknown.

The man in the black iron mask took a deep breath and then said, "I will set the [Casing Disk Unmoved] to the pendulum scale!"

A blue pillar of light rose.

←1【Pendulum】1→

There is no chain interference, and the high and low swings are all set up.

It can Special Summon all Level 2-8 [Shell] monsters from your hand.

【噔】

A giant pendulum swung between the beams of light of "ugliness" and "lack of emotion," drawing a colorful arc high in the sky.

The resounding chimes echoed.

"Take a look at this move!"

The man in the black iron mask spread his arms wide, as if embracing victory, a joyful laugh on his face.

"Hahaha..."

"Feeling good, right?"

Pendulum Summon!

"Splash splash splash!"

Four beams of light of different colors descended from the sky, their momentum as powerful as a rainbow, piercing the heavens and igniting the silent black mist space.
