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

...

"This is a lucky card."

"Isn't it cute?"

"It will bring you good luck."

...

【Crystal Ingenuity - Matrix Citrine】

Luo Bai was panting heavily, his eyes somewhat vacant, the physical side effects of the electric shock becoming increasingly apparent.

"Preparation...mainly..."

His weak voice echoed inside and outside the iron cage.

"Activate the effect of [Ancient Fairy Dragon], destroy all cards in all areas of the field!"

Luo Bai swallowed hard and spoke passionately.

The ancient fairy dragon roared, stirring up a fierce wind.

The environment card [Cartoon Kingdom] shook violently and gradually cracked.

"Don't even think about it!" the grizzly bear retorted. "Except for the graveyard [cartoon bookmark], you'll be the one to destroy it!"

A strange bookmark popped up from the void, blocking the tearing wind.

【Cartoon Kingdom】is intact.

The Ancient Fairy Dragon's card-bombing effect was not completed, so subsequent healing and card searching could not be triggered.

"Bring on whatever other tricks you have!"

Grizzly Bear grinned arrogantly and roared.

Luo Bai pondered for a moment, then frowned and slapped down a card: "Summon [Crystal Mechanism - Matrix Yellow Crystal]."

A cute golden figure leaped out of thin air.

Lucky Card

"Huang Jing?" Grizzly frowned, while the others whispered among themselves.

Yi Lan was the first to see the winning formula: "With the extra [Burning Silver Machine Dragon], we can win this round."

"Huh?" The dancer in red didn't react at first.

"【Topaz】and 【Ancient Dragon】twist 【Mech Dragon】, 【Mech Dragon】destroys 【Cartoon Kingdom】, 【Sariel】destroys 【Cartoon Chaos Warrior】."

"That way we can solve it completely."

"The opponent won't be able to return a single card to the field next turn unless they draw [Shadow Toon], which deals direct effect damage."

The dancer in red nodded in realization: "I see..."

"But he looks like... he probably didn't bring the [Burning Silver Machine Dragon]."

After pressing the card, Luo Bai anxiously flipped through the extra pages.

Indeed, I didn't bring the [Burning Silver Machine Dragon].

Who would have thought he would summon a 7-star monster?

[Ancient Fairy Dragon] was added simply for aesthetic reasons.

"Advance to Battle Rank!" With no hope of synchronization, Luo Bai ended [Kacha] and shouted.

"[Sariel, 3100/1400] Attacks [Cartoon Chaos Warrior, 3000/2500]!"

Red-clad dancer: "Seriously? You're greedy even for 100 HP?"

Upon receiving the order to attack, Sariel flashed in front of the Cartoon Chaos Warrior, swung his demonic claw, and stirred up a whirlwind.

"【Toon Kingdom】effect!" Grizzly Bear raised his hand to block the wind, "Discard the top card of your deck from the inside, replacing the destruction of 【Toon Chaos Warrior】!"

"call--"

The demonic wind pierced through the attacked monster and struck the duelist directly.

Red team's LP: 8000 → 7900

"Hahaha, a mere 100 points of damage!"

"superficial!"

The grizzly bear loosened the wild muscles in its shoulders, making a cracking sound.

"Well done, Grizzlies!"

"Don't be a coward, let's do it!"

Outside the cage, many fans cheered and encouraged him.

"This doesn't look good," a dancer in red muttered weakly in the crowd.

Looking at this scene, Yi Lan couldn't help but feel a cloud of worry on her face. But when she saw Luo Bai's calm expression, she felt inexplicably at ease.

"Was this also part of the plan?"

"【Matrix Yellow Crystal】..."

Suddenly remembering something, she asked, "What kind of monsters are in his graveyard?"

"Huh?" The dancer in red was taken aback, tilting her head in recollection, "There should only be [Black Crystal] and... [Trion], right?"

"So that's how it is," Yi Lan said, suddenly realizing.

"What do you know?"

"As long as we survive the next round, the [Ancient Fairy Dragon] can explode again."

...

"My turn is over," Luo Bai said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Red Team felt a great sense of relief.

"Hahaha! It's nothing special!"

"It's safe."

"A close call, but no real danger."

"I almost fell for his trick!"

"I just had the illusion that he was a master."

"Hmph!" Grizzly Bear snorted coldly. "My turn, draw a card!"

Skip the preparation phase quickly.

"Advance to the combat rank!"

"【Cartoon Chaos Warrior】, attack directly!"

"Let's see who else can save you!"

The crowd watching outside the cage was infected by this momentum, and their emotions soared. They raised their arms high and shouted in unison to cheer.

"kill--"

[Cartoon Chaos Warrior] His figure flashed, transforming into a streak of light as he rushed towards Luo Bai. The long blade in his hand gleamed with a chilling light under the lamplight, its projection covering the sky and releasing a familiar sense of oppression.

At the critical moment.

"Activate the [Matrix Yellow Crystal] effect!" Luo Bai shouted resolutely.

A fierce wind swept through the void, and the [Cartoon Chaos Warrior] was blasted away by a gust of air.

Special Summon [Trynn's Trap]

"Level 2 [Matrix Topaz] and Level 4 [Trynn's Trap] Star-tuning!"

The excited crowd finally remembered something, their eyes widening slowly: "Accelerated synchronization... could it be..." (X99)

"Forge a protective shield."

"A combined attack sweeping across all directions!"

Synchro Summon!

...

"white..."

"You mustn't hurt yourself..."

...

"Appear!"

"Level 6, [Armored Skeleton]!"

"Clang—"

A golden barrier enveloped Luo Bai, deflecting the longsword swung down by the Cartoon Chaos Warrior.

Luo Bai's slightly breathless, indifferent voice echoed in the wind.

"Activated when 【Armored Skeleton】 is Synchro Summoned."

"This round..."

"This card cannot be destroyed by battle/effect. All damage received by our side... becomes 0!"

Chapter 198 The Duel in the Cage (Final)

"All damage reduced to 0..."

The grizzly bear's eyes widened, its heart pounding violently in its chest, causing its breathing to stop for a moment.

Most people only know about Luo Bai's KC [Water Machine] deck, but they haven't kept up with the gameplay and thinking.

"It's over."
