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

Apollos, the Bow of the Summoning God

The goddess held a bow as white as moonlight, her figure noble and elegant, exuding a mysterious majesty. Her eyes shone with starlight, as if they could see through all things.

"【Divine Bow】Original Attack is now equal to 800 of this card's Link Materials."

[Divine Bow] ATK: 0 → 2400

"Next—"

"Raise the star level of the Rank 1 [Jet Synchron] and the Rank 7 [Diabelsi of Original Sin]!"

"Experience firsthand this bullet that pierces through everything!"

Synchro Summon!

"Level 8, [Loading Barrel Savage Dragon]!"

Loading barrel raptor

A colossal steel beast hurtled through the air, its two feet firmly planted on the ruins, kicking up a cloud of dust. Its massive cannon muzzle resembled the fangs of a fierce dragon, deep and menacing.

"Activate the effect of [Ferocious Dragon]!" Dibel waved his hand and said, "Equip [Dark Spirit] in the graveyard, place two gun barrel indicators, and increase its attack power by half the attack power of the equipped monster."

[Ferocious Dragon] ATK: 3000 → 3925

"Advance to the combat rank!"

A sharp glint flashed in Dibel's eyes.

"【Loading Barrel Savage Dragon】, attack 【Black Magician】!"

"Thunderbolt Cannon!"

A mechanical grinding sound came from inside the gun barrel, the shell was loaded and the muzzle opened.

"boom--"

Red team's LP: 8000 → 6575

The remaining [Dark Magician] has an attack power of 2500 and cannot be defeated by [Divine Bow].

Debel gave up in frustration: "My turn is over."

After doing all this, she gave Immy a reassuring gesture.

Immy slowly opened her mouth wide and cheered, "Any hand pits?!"

Relying on [Ferocious Dragon] plus three materials [Divine Bow] might not be enough, especially if the remaining hand is a trap.

That would be a sure thing!

Dibel looked at the [DD Raven] in his hand and nodded slightly.

"Nice!" Immy shouted wildly, "It has to be our pseudo-canon!"

"I just happened to save your lives."

"Remember to be grateful."

She pointed at the innocent crowd around her, and it's unclear where she got the audacity to say such a thing.

"With a hand trap, it's safe." Luo Bai agreed with this statement.

Although there is no Ash Blossom, the King's T3 can be used to finish off the opponent, and it can be countered by either DD Raven or Effect Veiler.

Chapter 409 The Challenge to the King - The Sinful Serpent Eye (3)

"My turn, draw a card!" The stone pharaoh indifferently drew a card.

Just then.

He seemed to sense the exact moment the hand was poised, and his expression faltered slightly.

If you have a three-color combo card on your side, you can use two cards to finish off the opponent with White Spear and Divine Bow.

But there's one more hand pit.

The situation became very delicate.

The Pharaoh fell into deep thought.

As Wang Yi pondered, the audience held their breath, even their breathing became cautious, time seemed to stand still, and only the sound of heartbeats echoed in the air.

"This can't possibly be cut down..."

"Don't scare me..."

Someone muttered under their breath, their voice filled with anxiety.

The atmosphere in the entire arena was as tense as a taut bowstring, awaiting the Pharaoh's decision, which would determine the course of this duel.

"What do you think?" Yi Lan leaned closer and asked in a low voice.

“Hmm—” Luo Bai stroked his chin lightly, “Without using violent methods like [Lava Demon God] and [Pot of Greed], I can’t think of a way to kill a T3 character using only our own family’s methods.”

"This king is a bit strange."

Upon hearing this, Ilan, Zhuska, and the others were all taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"Didn't you guys notice?" Luo Bai raised an eyebrow, "Wang Neng can draw the card he wants, and the [Master and Disciple] duo always manages to draw either [Mahad] or [Eternal Soul]."

"but--"

"But he just can't seem to draw some of the more versatile ones, like [Lightning Strike], [Foodie], and [Various Pots]."

"If I can get it."

"He won't think that far ahead now."

I guess—

He drew out his voice, and everyone turned to look at him with curiosity.

"Wang has [a mechanism]."

"Mechanism?" Everyone was bewildered.

“It’s like a type of program.” Luo Bai tried to give an analogy. “You have to give it a stress event for it to trigger a certain hidden ability.”

"This stressful event—"

"I guess it might be a hand pit."

"If someone uses a hand trap on the King, we might witness the [Berserk State]."

"Oh—" The group of friends nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Yi Lan cast a meaningful glance at her: "You're so knowledgeable."

"Anyone who didn't know better would think you designed this program."

"Make bold guesses, but verify carefully." Luo Bai spread his hands to show his innocence.

I don't know how many more times I've been here.

The Pharaoh moved slightly and raised his hand, instantly putting the nerves of thousands of people on edge.

"Advance to the combat rank!"

He suddenly waved his hand forward and resolutely issued the order.

"Directly advancing to the Battle Rank?!" Imi's mouth dropped open in astonishment. "The King compromised!"

"The king has abandoned the attempt to kill him!"

Luo Bai nodded slightly: "After advancing to the battle rank, take down the [Divine Bow] first, then you can focus on the second skill."

A very competitive operational strategy.

Instead of aiming for a quick kill in the current round, they choose to prolong the game and secure the final victory.

"【Dark Magician】, attack 【Summoning God Bow - Apollos】."

The Pharaoh issued a decree.

A magic bullet was fired, shattering the goddess who was floating in mid-air.

Blue side LP: 8000 → 7900

"Can we still attack?!" Immy shouted angrily, "We still have the invincible [Loading Barrel Savage Dragon] on the field!"

Everyone looked toward the Pharaoh, following her voice.

One card, [Fantasy], has already been revealed; one card remains hidden.

There's no way they could possibly kill him, right?

Dibel kept reassuring himself: "A hidden card, whatever it is, just use [Savage Dragon] to negate it."

"【Cooperation】and chain, except for 【DD Raven】 and 【Black Magic Girl】."

"Cannot be killed..."

"It's impossible to kill him..."

"I still have at least one more chance to draw a card..."

If you survive this round, you'll get one draw next round, and you can search the graveyard for the [Original Sin Treasure]. If the [Ferocious Dragon] survives, you'll still have the counter, increasing your chances of winning next round!

【Ding--】

A soft notification sounded.

The timeline has entered the second major phase.

"We survived!!!" Immy shouted first.

"Whoa!" Countless people raised their hands and cheered, even happier than if they had won themselves.

Dibel breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how this round ended, she was the first person to survive Wang's killing.

Only 100 damage was dealt during the combat phase.

Having witnessed things unfold to this point, Luo Bai genuinely felt...

"should--"
