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

However, this effect cannot be activated during the turn a card is set.

"Could it be that...!"

His pupils widened suddenly, and his pale eyes became bloodshot.

"Discard the card 'Clockwork of the Silver City' and activate its effect!" Arias said in a deep voice. "This turn, if you control a 'Labyrinth of Labyrinth' monster..."

"You can activate a normal trap card on the turn it's set!"

In the Arctic command center, Tianxiong's expression darkened as he said, "As expected."

"Clang—"

A loud bell tolled in the void, the [Crazy Bell] delivering a deadly melody to the visitors.

"Open the cover - [DD explosive]!"

Arias waved his hand and said, "Inflict damage equal to 300 times the opponent's base score and the number of their banished cards!"

"You have fifteen cards that you exclude."

"So... take this 4500 damage!"

"4500..." The cold shout fell, and Earthwalker No. 8 couldn't help but swallow, taking a step back.

【drop--】

A red timed explosive flew towards him, pressing tightly against his chest. His heartbeat seemed to merge with the sound of the bomb's countdown, making a rapid sound in his ears.

"Boom—"

With a deafening roar, Earthwalker No. 8's body was instantly torn into countless pieces, blood and flesh flying everywhere, splattering across the surrounding ground. His eyes rolled back, and his consciousness was on the verge of fading away.

Blue side LP: 8000 → 3500

"Hold on!"

The Earthwalker 8 headset crackled with urgent calls from the command center.

[Emergency treatment in progress...]

As life force rapidly declines, an alarm is triggered, and the onboard auxiliary AI initiates emergency measures. Numerous robotic arms of various sizes pop out from the back, injecting tubes of life-saving medication into the body.

This scenario has occurred multiple times.

Every time it's about to die, they give it medicine.

The destiny of dueling mechanical puppets.

[Life Sign is Rising...]

"I...I survived..."

The Earthwalker slowly calmed his breathing and finally withstood the explosion.

"Hahaha!"

He emitted eerie heat from his entire body and let out a ferocious, maniacal laugh.

You can't kill me!

"Heh... Hahaha..."

The Earthwalker laughed wildly and looked up at Arias. The next second, as if he had seen something extremely horrifying, his smile froze on his face.

A red magic card.

[Transaction Rollback]

You can banish this card from your Graveyard, pay half of your Life Points, and then target 1 Normal Trap Card in your Graveyard other than "Transaction Reversal" to activate this effect. This effect becomes the same as the effect of that Normal Trap Card when it is activated.

Copy object - [DD explosives]

Goodnight, Mr. Warrior.

Red team's LP: 8000 → 4000

Arias slowly closed his eyes, gracefully bowed slightly, and touched his chest in farewell.

A series of flashing lights appeared.

"No..." In the final moments of his life, Earthwalker 8 finally regained all human emotions.

Completely dominated by fear.

"don't want..."

His gaze darted around as he backed away step by step.

【drop--】

Several bundles of timed explosives flew in from all directions, completely encasing and locking his limbs, body, and brain.

"Let me go..."

"Boom—"

With a loud bang, mechanical parts of all sizes were blown apart like fireworks, blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and a burst of white light illuminated the ground, completely drowning out the dying cries for help.

Blue side LP: 3500 → 0

The winner is the red side.

The AI ​​referee of the Dark Game issues the final announcement.

The blue team attacks first, only playing one [Peacekeeper] card throughout the entire game, and taking 9000 damage.

Red won before it was their turn.

A true ZTK – zero-turn kill!!

The pile of corpses, already as high as a small mountain, was increased by one more.

"Tsk, another loss."

The people in the Arctic command center clicked their tongues in amazement, but there wasn't a trace of sadness on their faces.

"Where have all the people from Tianlong Shu gone?"

Tengu remained indifferent, showing little surprise at the outcome of the duel.

I've lost so many times that I'm starting to feel numb.

Thousands of miles away, in an unknown wasteland.

"Oh, darling."

Ling Hui, who used the Dragon Radiance aircraft to achieve sixth place in KC, got a little carried away and forgot to control the aircraft, resulting in an unsuccessful emergency landing during the descent.

The aircraft is broken.

"what--"

The person is currently hugging the lump of iron and crying bitterly.

"Where am I...?"

He looked up blankly and saw a desolate wasteland. The magnetic field was also wrong, and the map pointer was moving erratically. After activating the [Thousand Mile Sound] device, he could hear the roars of wild beasts.

Help!

A woman's scream came from afar.

Not far, about three kilometers away.

"Thank goodness there are people around." Ling Hui breathed a sigh of relief.

With the full-coverage armor activated, the source of the sound was located in less than a minute.

A blue-haired female traveler.

Riding a dragon, she had a griffin behind her helping to drive away the beast tide.

Fortunately, there were no wild beasts of the sixth rank or higher.

Seeing this, Ling Hui flew into the air, opened the gun barrel in his palm, and gathered energy.

"Boom!"

Several laser cannon shots were fired at the beast horde, successfully rescuing the seemingly innocent blue-haired female passerby.

The seemingly innocent blue-haired female passerby

"Are you alright?" Ling Hui landed from mid-air and removed his armor.

He needed to conserve his energy; it was the only thing he could rely on.

The blue-haired woman, panting heavily, clasped her hands together and nodded in gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. Hero."

"It's nothing," Ling Hui said directly. "I just wanted to ask you for directions."

The blue-haired woman's eyes lit up immediately: "Asking for directions? I know this place like the back of my hand!"

"That's great!" Ling Hui exclaimed happily. "Do you know where the North Pole is?"

"The Arctic?" The blue-haired woman frowned, looking worried. "The Arctic is quite large... Where exactly in the Arctic are you going? Without directions, it's easy to get lost."

She said with concern.

It's clear that she wants to help her savior as much as possible.

She's just too kind.

“This…” Ling Hui was somewhat troubled.

The Arctic base is not something you can just tell anyone.

He thought for a moment and said, "Any place in the Arctic where there are people will do. Just point me in the right direction."

"Anywhere with people is fine?" The blue-haired woman was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Then sit down and hold on tight."

Ling Hui was confused: "Sit tight and hold on? What do you mean?"

The next second, the blue-haired woman took out a staff and drew a water ripple array in the air.

The stirring voices echoed across the wilderness.

"The Ritual of the Messiah!"
