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

"Alright, that's all." Immy waved her hand. "Consider this a favor we owe you. Think about what you want, and you can come to me anytime. I don't like owing people things."

"Debts owed must be repaid..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the four members of the pseudo-Dian group gradually disappeared into the night.

Only a paper map remains, floating in mid-air.

Luo Bai grabbed the map and saw a conspicuous red cross marked on it.

It's a bit far, more than ten kilometers away from the King's Duel Arena. Even with Zhenying's physical abilities, it would take her half an hour to run there.

"It should be the location of the stone tablet..."

He murmured to himself, put the map away, and resumed making cards, followed by practicing resonance.

Resonance also requires practice.

He tried resonating with female cards like [Liao Li] and [Queen], but it didn't work; the rejection was extremely strong.

Having a deep bond with a card doesn't mean you can understand that card's spirit.

Liking is liking, and substituting is substituting.

It's no wonder that male duelists in Biantana generally don't use female cards.

After doing all this, Luo Bai remained vigilant and drifted off to sleep.

"Den-"

"Den-"

"Den-"

Throughout the long night, every hour or two, a portion of the stone pharaoh's body would light up.

Eighty percent of the circuits in the sky were lit up; only the last one remained, except for the Divine Stone Tablet.

But this last piece.

Three hours have passed, and they still haven't broken through.

"There's another king?!"

The crowd surrounding the King's Duel Arena seemed to have received some information and exclaimed in surprise.

"Four perpetual traps?!"

"How do we fight this?"

"Let's go take a look!"

Encouraged by others, the crowd rushed off to watch the spectacle, and the surroundings became much quieter.

"Dude, the map says the Purple Forest Grass is over there."

"Don't wander off, watch out for the man-eating plants."

The siblings Xia Sheng and Xia Yu, in search of the Purple Forest Grass, ventured into the ruins.

Time passed slowly, and the pale morning light shone down.

"Ha—" Luo Bai opened his eyes slightly, yawned, and stretched.

The world is still somewhat gloomy.

Regardless of whether it is day or night outside, the interior of the ruins is shrouded in dark clouds.

【09:12】

"I only slept for nine hours." Luo Bai squinted at the time with his eyes not yet fully open.

"Time for breakfast!" Yi Lan suddenly poked her head in with a grin.

Luo Bai yawned, rolled his eyes as if it were nothing new, and said, "You're still quite energetic. I thought you had insomnia."

"Hey--"

Yi Lan playfully slapped a hot bun onto his neck.

The warm touch of the steamed bun instantly snapped Luo Bai out of his daze, leaving him frozen in place.

He often took food from her, but this was the first time she had given it to him willingly.

"Uh—" Luo Bai was caught off guard by her move and didn't know how to react, so he simply nodded.

He took a bite of his steamed bun, looked up at the sky, and murmured, "The progress is pretty fast."

The stone pharaoh's left hand, right hand, left foot, and right foot have all been unlocked.

When I woke up, they had found three more pieces. At this rate, they should be able to trigger the second stage in another hour or two.

"Not necessarily." Yi Lan's expression suddenly turned cold, and she looked very worried.

"The first three blocks were cracked in one or two hours, but now three hours have passed and the last block is still not cracked."

"It seems we encountered a monster."

"You seem to know quite a lot," Luo Bai said in surprise.

Yi Lan sighed expressionlessly: "Some people didn't sleep much all night."

"Huh? Who?"

I won't say.

Luo Bai: "..."

In the midst of this awkward conversation, a long, drawn-out voice came from behind.

"Mask Brother—" Lin Yi waved and shouted from afar, panting as he ran up to Luo Bai.

Luo Bai gently raised his hand to indicate, "Take your time, there's no rush."

“Wang…” Lin Yi’s face turned ashen, his eyes glazed over with shock, and his voice trembled.

"There are two kings!"

"What did you say?!" Luo Bai and Yi Lan both widened their eyes.

Chapter 439 The Friendly King

"Two kings?!"

Luo Bai and Yi Lan were both stunned when they heard this information, but their perspectives on the shock were completely different.

Yi Lan's heart skipped a beat, thinking: There are monsters too?

Luo Bai tensed up instantly: Was his cousin here too?

“Yes, yes, yes,” Lin Yi said repeatedly. “I spent the whole night gathering information and exploring the entire ruins.”

He paused, frowning as he recalled, "The last one..."

"Too... um, I don't know how to say it..."

Lin Yi's face was contorted in a grimace, looking awkward and somewhat abstract.

Upon hearing this, Luo Bai and Yi Lan frowned even more deeply.

The two exchanged a glance.

"Go and see?"

Yi Lan pursed her lips slightly, her tone indifferent: "I'm just idling around anyway."

The three quickly reached an agreement and decided to head to the location of the last unknown extraordinary holy stone, which happened to be the point marked on Immy's map.

Walking along the path in the shadows of dilapidated ruins, they carefully avoided rubble and debris. Lin Yi continued to recount his experiences of the night.

You might not believe it if I told you.

"The last four extraordinary holy stone tablets are all ordinary monsters."

Each word carried a hint of unease.

"This is too bizarre."

He gestured with his hands, "Now the [company] has taken one piece, the [World Trade Center] has taken one piece, the [research center] has taken one piece, and the [frontline troops] have also taken one piece."

Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, he continued, "It seems the local frontline troops in Sumeru Garden have joined forces with the group from the west..."

"Those newcomers to the ruins say there's a military presence outside. People coming in aren't checked, but those leaving are subjected to strict checks..."

"It's really weird."

After hearing these words, Luo Bai felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on his chest.

He thought to himself: Judging from this, [Old Ai] really has been dismembered.

Apart from the [Common Council], the other four factions of the alliance each received a hand or a foot, while the remaining body was guarded by [Another King].

About half an hour later, the three arrived at their destination.

The scene was packed with people, forming rings upon rings, making it impossible for those on the outside to see anything.

Luo Bai asked with some doubt: "Aren't you afraid of being caught in the crossfire of the duel if you surround us so tightly?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's expression turned strange: "This other king has very gentle rules; there are no penalties for failing a challenge."

"We will not put pressure on the challengers."

“He would even smile at us.”

"It's definitely in the style of a minor character," Luo Bai nodded and murmured.

In the anime, Yugi is indeed a friendly and kind person.

"If there were no restrictions on challengers, how come they haven't taken the city yet?"

"With so many people, there must be some 'Hu Gou' (a derogatory term for a scoundrel), right?"

In a duel, you're bound to lose at least once if you fight too many times.

"Hmm—" Lin Yi frowned, unsure how to describe it.

Yi Lan's gaze shifted: "Let's find a way and squeeze up to take a look."
