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

"What are your thoughts right now?" Yi Lan leaned closer, her eyes filled with anxiety and anticipation.

Luo Bai rubbed his temples, sighed deeply, and said helplessly, "To win this trial, at least three conditions must be met."

He looked up and met Yilan's gaze: "First, your starting hand must include a card that can negate [Pot of Greed], such as [Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring], [Saint King], [Announcer], or [PSY]. You must have at least one of these."

"Either we start during the preparation stage, which feels more difficult."

“The second condition,” he continued, “is that you must have an out-of-turn graveyard start point in your starting hand. For example, [Butler], [Looper Rabbit], [Little Blue], these are all acceptable.”

"If we include the [Fire-Blowing Furnace] losing the [Ancient Vanguard], perhaps..."

"No, no!" He shook his head violently, muttering to himself, "I can't help the opponent build a graveyard. If I help the god build five cards, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"What about the third condition?" Yi Lan asked, her brows furrowed, her voice tinged with tension and doubt.

“The third condition…” Luo Bai’s lips twitched down, looking somewhat dejected, “Our graveyard expansion must force God to use up all his cards.”

“This—” Yi Lan frowned, lowered her head and fell into deep thought: “You mean, we have to use four cards in our hand to build up our graveyard during God’s turn, and activate four effects that interfere with God, forcing him to play all his cards?”

“Hmm—and it can’t be just any ordinary card.” Luo Bai added, taking out a card from his deck, [Rabilins of the Silver City], and showing it to Yi Lan.

"This silly thing randomly destroys your hand, I'm not sure if the God will counter it. If the God doesn't do anything and just draws an [Ancient Guardian], that would be really..."

He paused here, then smiled wryly and said, "You've been a great help."

Yilan nodded, still somewhat puzzled in her eyes: "Besides elemental attacks like [Trident Dragon], there are also [Shadow Poison], whose effects depend on the user's skill, which can definitely force a god to take action."

"The question is, how do we execute a graveyard buildup during the opponent's turn?"

Luo Bai was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "【The Tears of Elegy Clan】?"

“That’s not right.” Yilan immediately hit him, waving her hand and saying, “【Tears of Elegy】can only activate its graveyard effect during its own turn, and 【Little Beauty】can’t be chained to Special Summon Spell Cards.”

Luo Bai scratched the back of his head, somewhat bewildered, but still firmly replied, "The red mermaid can jump."

“Red Mermaid?” Upon hearing this, Yi Lan frowned even more deeply. “I… the [Tears of Elegy Clan] has been blue for hundreds of years.”

"Did you go or not...?"

She originally thought he must have visited the Pearl World before and happened to see the stone tablet by chance.

"No..." Luo Bai was about to explain.

A red figure suddenly appeared with the waves, swift and elegant like a phantom.

A long, slender, and beautiful red palm held a magic card that emitted red magical energy fluctuations, and gently swayed it in the astonished gazes of the two people.

"What you're saying—" The red mermaid smiled slightly and flipped the magic card over to show the two of them.

Is this the one?

[The Lament of the Pearl-like Clan, the Wrathful Clan]

"You are—" Yi Lan was startled, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she instinctively drew her dagger and swung it at the red figure.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, she abruptly stopped what she was doing.

"You...you are..."

She gazed at the red mermaid, the dagger hovering in mid-air trembling slightly.

From a distance, they looked like newcomers from the Kusha-Nirvana clan, but upon closer inspection, they had a strange feeling about them.

"I was surprised too." The red mermaid turned her head slightly to look at Yi Lan, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, the smile as eerie as a ghost.

"On your body—"

She spoke slowly, her deep red eyes scrutinizing the person before her.

"It has the same aura as me."

The red mermaid spoke softly, each word like a dissection of the soul, sending chills down one's spine.

Chapter 462 Slash Four: Abandoning All Mental Power

"Do you two know each other?" Luo Bai asked, puzzled, seeing the strange tug-of-war between the two.

He knew that Yi Lan was attractive to both men and women.

Surely mermaids wouldn't do that, would they?

"I—" Faced with this question, Yi Lan's expression became noticeably anxious, and her gaze became somewhat evasive.

"I...I don't know him."

She braced herself, put her hands behind her back, and pretended to be calm.

The red mermaid pursed her lips and smiled, "We really don't know each other."

"Nice to meet you."

She turned towards the two of them, extending her eerie red mermaid hand to touch her chest as she introduced herself.

You can call me Jenny.

"Having a name is enough." Luo Bai forced a stiff smile and nodded slightly. "There's no need for a handshake."

I kept internally criticizing Konami.

What a lazy designer it must be to name a card "[Tears of Elegy Clan Type: The Wrathful Clan]".

They wouldn't even give it a name.

Yi Lan's pupils constricted, remaining constantly alert: "Who exactly are you...?"

Regarding his identity, a whole host of questions remained unanswered.

Now is not the time to ask that.

She sighed helplessly and then asked, "Ricehard sent you, didn't he? What does he want this time?"

"Wow—" Jenny raised an eyebrow in surprise, "You know Lord Leshardt?"

She pursed her lips and looked at the person in front of her again.

Luo Bai couldn't stand it anymore, so he waved his hand to interrupt her gaze: "Let's get straight to the point, playing cards or fighting."

“You’ve misunderstood.” Jenny covered her mouth and smiled faintly. “I’m here to discuss cooperation.”

"Um--"

She turned to look at the arena of God's duel, as if organizing her words: "You should have also realized that the key to defeating God is to make the most of the cemetery resources."

"And my strength is indispensable."

Luo Bai nodded slightly, agreeing with her statement: "So, can you create five interference effects?"

“No,” Jenny said bluntly. “Therefore, your [Gray Flow] is also essential.”

"One for one?" Luo Bai's gaze became complicated.

The cards in the card shop that involve the "Tears of Elegy Clan" and the "Kusha's Wrath Clan" cannot be summoned or created.

This may be the only chance to obtain the [Kusha] card.

But we need to give them [Ashfall]...

“No—” Jenny quickly interrupted his thoughts, “I have no right to exchange cards, only Lord Leshardt can.”

"Let's settle this with a duel, but not now."

"Right now—it's just borrowing. If we can't break through the second phase, all the transactions are futile."

"Lend it to you?" Luo Bai's gaze sharpened, a playful glint in his eyes. "What if you don't return it?"

He glanced at Leshardt, his expression sarcastic.

“You don’t seem like you can reason.”

Jenny chuckled, handed over a [Fenrir Wolf of the Kusha Wrathful Clan] card, and added, "You can leave this card with you as collateral."

"Lend me a copy of [Grey's Blossom]."

"I'll switch back after I've finished my battle with God."

"Oh?" Luo Bai raised an eyebrow. "You think you can survive?"

"Survive?" Jenny asked, a bitter and complicated smile appearing on her face, as if she had heard a joke.

"There is no life to begin with, so what is the point of living or not living?"

"I am--"

She turned to look at the two of them, her expression somber.

"Psychodynamic organisms".

“Telekinesis…” Yi Lan’s heart clenched as she listened, and her eyes trembled.

If this is the product of the collaboration between the Death Prison Village and the Kusha Nuwei Clan, then the clan is in danger.

Once a race is altered, it's very difficult to revert to one's physical identity.

"My body..."

She stared at the strange red mermaid before her, the thought that her own body might still be in the Death Prison Laboratory.

A chill ran down my spine.

Blue is still the prettiest color.

The clever little thing in my head blurted out an inappropriate remark.

"Alright." The fish farmer, Luo Bai, was unaware of her inner turmoil. He simply took a deep breath, took out a [Grey Flow] card, and exchanged it for the [Fenrir Wolf] in Jenny's hand.

"Good luck."

"Thank you for your kind words." Jenny took the [Ashfall] and stepped into the dueling arena with a smile.

The people on the stage were slightly taken aback, their expressions twisted and complicated.

"They're going up too?"

On one hand, they both loathe and fear the trio of red monsters.

on the other hand.
