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

The same doubts permeated the crowd.

The Pharaoh's all-out attack failed to destroy the Grand Instructor. He made no defense and even begged for death, while the followers shouted that they were preparing for a feast.

So, they didn't kill him?

Chermond stood there, panting, his face filled with astonishment, as if he hadn't expected to survive.

The Demon God's Flame Cannon only caused minor physical injuries, with no mental damage.

"How could this be..."

He murmured to himself, then suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he abruptly knelt down.

"May the gods have mercy!"

The members of the church realized what was happening and knelt down, shouting in unison, "God have mercy!"

“Since we won’t die…” one of the cardinals lowered his head, pondering something, then his eyes darted around, and he stepped forward, saying, “It’s my turn to receive God’s baptism!”

"God's baptism—" countless believers repeated this word over and over, their faces slowly showing excitement.

"This is God's baptism!"

The red-robed cultist walked onto the dueling platform with a maniacal laugh, calmly activating the dueling disk with remarkably smooth movements.

"Duel!" (X2)

[First strike]

[Red Team]

[Duel Begins]

"No deterrence?!" Everyone was overjoyed. "We can all challenge the gods?"

Luo Bai, on the contrary, watched this scene from afar, his brows furrowing even deeper.

"What's wrong?" Yi Lan noticed his bad expression and asked in a low voice, "No deterrence, losing the duel won't be fatal, and it won't speed up the progress of the superconducting wave, right?"

"It looks like a good thing." Luo Bai's gloomy expression remained unchanged.

"The reason why the king's duels have thresholds and costs is probably because the consciousness of the relic determines that the king may lose, so it limits the number of duels."

"The duel of the gods has no threshold or cost."

This only proves—

"Even God himself didn't know how he lost, and..."

"It will end quickly."

As expected, just ten seconds after he finished speaking,

“What I drew is—” the Pharaoh revealed his hand again, “[The Sealed Exodia].”

"Demon God Flame Cannon!"

Exodia unleashed another burst of energy from his cannon, and scorching flames swept across the battlefield once more.

“God’s baptism…” The cardinal’s lips curled slightly as he opened his arms, about to embrace the flame cannon.

Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly noticed that my sleeve was on fire!

The smile on his face vanished abruptly, and his blank eyes slowly filled with terror, flickering with firelight.

"Boom—"

The explosion caused a shockwave that sent the challenger flying, crashing into a stone wall a hundred meters away, his fate unknown.

The winner takes all.

[Red Team]

The believers were filled with horror: "How...how could this be..."

“It seems…” Luo Bai’s pupils contracted, “that the gods have no mercy.”

Lessaka, Arias, and others also noticed something amiss, their brows furrowing: "The spirituality is increasing."

The second challenger also lost in ten seconds, which proves one thing.

The first match was no accident.

Luo Bai felt as if a huge rock was blocking his chest, making him feel suffocated.

He took out his intelligence notebook and wrote a few lines in it.

The Duel of the Gods

[1. In the absence of interference, God will set Pot of Greed before activating it again, and then win by collecting all five pieces of Exodia.]

Whether the first strike should be fixed is still uncertain, as there are only two sample data at present.

Qi Qiankong, who was responsible for recording the duel, turned grim: "Winning in two steps, saving me ink, huh!"

The notebook simply reads: "[Humanity has failed twice]".

He used the word "humanity" because he had a premonition that this was not a personal challenge to God, but a challenge to all of humanity.

"We might need your [Ashfall]." Yilan turned her head and whispered.

"If we can stop [Pot of Greed] from drawing two, there's still a chance."

Luo Bai, however, did not seem very confident, and said with a calm mind: "Besides [Gray Flow], [PSY Skeleton Equipment·δ] and [Green Light Proclaimer] can also be ineffective against [Pot of Greed]."

"but--"

He sighed softly and shook his head solemnly.

"I don't think this can defeat God."

It was as if, out of some unspoken understanding, they were trying to confirm his guess.

Challengers are coming one after another.

A red-haired woman was about to step forward when her companion, the fortune teller Starchi, quickly pulled her back, advising with a melancholy expression, "Forget it..."

She showed a tarot card – The Moon.

Symbolizing the subconscious, dreams, and confusion, it's not a good sign.

“Someone has to test God’s trump card.” The red-haired woman, Leia Robin, turned to Stark and gave a wry smile. “Before the Fool comes on stage, we also need the Moon, don’t we?”

Starch released his grip, his expression somber.

Leia stepped onto the battlefield, opened the dueling platform, looked directly at the gods, and her eyes were filled with determination.

"Duel!" (X2)

[First strike]

[Red Team]

[Duel Begins]

Chapter 455 Slash One: The Crushing of the Holy King

A chilling atmosphere filled the dueling arena.

The surrounding audience held their breath, their eyes fixed on every move in the center of the arena like sharp swords.

The Millennium Eye pattern beneath my feet shimmered with golden light.

"answer--"

Both duelists quickly drew five cards from their decks.

"coming!"

When Leia saw the cards in her hand, her eyebrows rose and her eyes lit up.

"Cover up one card." The Pharaoh's voice remained indifferent.

Everyone was on edge, knowing that if this face-down card was successfully activated, the duel would be over.

"Open the cover card—[Pot of Greed]."

The covered cards slowly rose up, and a pot with a lewd smile appeared in the void.

"Chain activation—" Leia quickly slapped down a card, "【Saint King's Smash】!"

圣王的粉碎

"A trap set from the hand?!" The person in the front row exclaimed in surprise.

Leia explained casually, "If the opponent has cards on the field, this card can be activated from the hand as well."

"This effect can only be activated when the effects of Spells, Trap Cards, or Monsters that add cards from the Deck to the hand are activated."

"That effect—ineffective!"

"That's great," Luo Bai praised, "You don't eat [Grave Finger]'s [Ash Blossom]."

"It's a pity to eat [Sword Finger]."

To his surprise, the Pharaoh did not follow up with C3 [Sword Pointing].

【The King's Shatter】 was successfully activated. A crimson phantom threw out a giant axe, shattering 【Pot of Greed】 in one blow.

"Beautiful!" The crowd erupted in cheers.

In the third challenge, humanity dared to challenge the gods.

Leia's expression didn't look too good; she knew it wouldn't be so easy to conquer them.

But someone has to go and clear the land.

Ahead lies uncharted territory.

The pharaoh remained unmoved, calmly placing another card on the board: "Activate the spell card—[Pot of Greed]."

Draw two cards from your deck.

Fingertips traced through the void, stirring up a silvery-white light.

“There’s one more…” Leia’s heart jumped into her throat, and her eyes gradually lost their luster.
