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

"A perfect handbook!"

"My turn." Earthwalker 8 spoke in a half-human, half-machine voice, barely revealing a trace of human joy.

He hasn't completely lost his mind.

The five cards in hand are: [Thousand Checks and Differences], [Spirit Extraction], [Great Universe], [Peacekeeper], and [Divine Declaration] obtained from the Level 7 Fortress Sky Sanctuary.

[Win rate analysis in progress...]

A glint of lightning flashed in Earthwalker No. 8's eyes as he combined various statistical data with his computer-like mind to frantically calculate all sorts of scenarios.

【Ding】

A clear sound.

[Win rate: 75%]

"My turn," the Earthwalker said with a slight smile. "Prepare, main."

"Activate the Perpetual Spell - [Peacekeeper]!"

With a whoosh, a white light suddenly appeared, and the figure of an old man flashed through the holy light screen.

和平使者

"As long as this card is on the field, monsters with 1500 or more ATK cannot declare an attack."

Most of the monsters in Silver City have an attack power of over 1500. The remaining ones, such as the [Fire Furnace] and [Crazy Clock], are worth a few hits, but unfortunately they have 0 attack power.

"We came to visit in a peaceful manner."

"There was no malicious intent."

"The mechanical device next to Underground No. 8 emitted a hoarse sound," Tenkuro said.

The desire for peace is genuine.

If the city lord of Silver City were willing to give them a few negative cube bricks, they would leave immediately.

"What a polite messenger!" Arias clapped and praised. "It's a pity that the city lord is resting right now. Waking her up would have serious consequences. It all depends on your sincerity."

"What do you mean?" Earthwalker No. 8 sensed something was wrong.

He wanted to cover four backcourt cards, but it displayed "Waiting for opponent's turn..."

The other party wants to open a chain store.

[Fire-blown stove]?

【Dragon-shaped lamp】?

“Let’s try out our latest masterpiece.” Arias smiled slightly, showed the card in his hand and sent it to the graveyard, saying, “Activate the effect of [Arias, the Butler of the Silver City].

Before Earthwalker No. 8 could react.

She then showed another card in her hand.

"Chain activation - [The Silver Princess of the Labyrinth Castle]".

"What?!" Everyone at the Arctic Base stared wide-eyed. "[Arias, the Butler of the Silver City]?"

Tianxiong's expression turned extremely solemn: "Her story is complete."

"A new sacred stone has been born in Silver City."

After years of diligent work, Arias successfully defended against Earthwalkers 1 through 7 and finally solidified his own Holy Stone.

This is the moment of her debut battle.

A sudden emergence, a maiden battle!

"【Silver Princess】Effect: Special Summon!" Arias gracefully bowed, covering his chest.

Silver metallic high-heeled boots clinked crisply against the floor, white flowing ribbon skirts billowed in the wind, and silver armor on the upper body outlined a graceful figure. Twin swords clashed, an art of succubus and warrior.

so white!

Enveloped in a golden halo, [Shirogane-hime] smiled disdainfully.

"Boom—"

A chilling fighting spirit erupted, and all the mechanical devices around Earthwalker 8 were infected by the aura, their surfaces slowly covered with a layer of silvery-white metal, and then gradually rotted and collapsed like peeling skin.

"【Silver Princess】!" Earthwalker No. 8 took several steps back warily.

His full armor was made of a special metal that could withstand the Silver Princess's pressure for about ten minutes.

“Next up is my [Arias] effect.” Arias lightly clutched his chest, quite proudly stating, “I place a normal trap face down from my hand – [Needleworm's Nest].

"This effect can be activated during the turn a card is set."

"【Needle Worm Nest】?" At the Arctic base command center, Dr. D's expression was somewhat strange. He pressed a few buttons on the instrument, and the screen quickly displayed a line of text: "Usage rate 0.16%".

In previous battles, it was used only once or twice in a thousand matches.

"What does she want to do?"

A sense of unease rose in Tianxiong's heart. This kind of fancy card either doesn't make a move at all, or when it does, it's devastating.

This will be a completely new set of data.

"Activate [Needle Worm's Nest]!" Arias said in a deep voice.

Send five cards from the top of your deck to the graveyard.

"Splash—"

She smiled slightly, and with a casual wave of her hand, sent the five cards into the void.

Five phantom cards flashed by one after another.

It's like a welcoming ceremony, firing a salute for the guests.

Welcome to Labyrinth!

The ultimate spirituality brought a joyful smile to Arias's face.

"Activate the grave-sending effect of [Absolute King J Revolution]!"

"Confirm the top three cards of the deck, then return them to the top of the deck in your preferred order."

She glanced at the deck briefly, then rearranged the deck, moving the card that was originally the second one to the top.

[Meaning unclear]

The auxiliary AI onboard the Earthwalker emitted a mechanical prompt.

“Exclude the Graveyard [Absolute King J Revolution] and activate it!” Arias continued, “If the card on top of the Deck is a Normal Trap, flip it face-down onto the field and activate it during the turn it is face-down.”

"In unsuitable situations, send that card to the graveyard."

She gently flipped open the top card of the deck, showed it to Earthwalker No. 8, and smiled, "How lucky."

"Standard Trap - [Warcraft's Big Bait]".

Earthwalker No. 8 narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint in them.

His intuition told him so.

Something terrifying is coming. This "Big Bait from Warcraft" was specially pinned to the top by "Absolute King J Revolution," and it's not luck at all.

It is unclear whether this is due to the toxicity of silver or the Arctic climate.

Earthwalker No. 8, who should have lost consciousness.

He felt a chill that pierced his soul. Ever since he played the [Peacekeeper] card, he had been stuck in the opponent's timeline and couldn't make any moves.

"Activate [The Great Bait of the Monster]!"

Warcraft's Big Bait

Arias curled his lip in a cold laugh.

"Chain activation of the [Silver Princess] effect, Set a different Normal Trap card from the Deck, I Set [DD Dynamite].

"Clang—"

[Silver Princess] swept her hand across the void with a sword light, adding a face-down card to the red side's field. The shields [Do Not Target] and [Cannot Be Targeted] disappeared, but were reappeared within two seconds.

"Handling the effect of [Warcraft's Big Bait]!"

"Ban any number of cards from your Extra Deck face down until the end of the turn, and banish the same number of cards from your opponent's Extra Deck face down at random."

"I'm removing all fifteen extras!"

"Splash—"

Arias smiled elegantly yet maniacally, his black sleeves flashing through the air as ten five-card bonus cards exploded like enthusiastic fireworks.

"Hahaha--"

"Welcome, Labyrinth!"

...

Double update progress tomorrow: 99.9% (as of 7 PM)

Chapter 268 Extra - Zero-Return Kill (Part 2)

"Welcome, Labyrinth!"

The chilling, demonic voice echoed through the underground labyrinth.

"Excluding fifteen?!" Earthwalker No. 8 was startled. He lowered his head and excluded his own fifteen extra cards. It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with them; they were originally meant for feeding the pot.

There was just a strange sense of unease.

There is a 30% chance of taking 4500 points of damage.

A mechanical voice echoed in his mind.

The AI ​​assists by issuing an alert based on the situation.

“4500 points of damage…” Earthwalker No. 8’s pupils contracted as he recalled the [DD Dynamite] effect applied by [Silver Princess].
