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

This is the price of challenging God.

[Ugh—how scary!]

Yi Lan pursed her lips and said, "It's okay, as long as we beat the game."

"Let's go find him first."

She rose, straightened her black robe, leaped down from the tall tree, and headed towards the dueling arena.

Luo Bai stared at the dissipating flames, still immersed in the duel, unable to let go for a long time.

Ask yourself.

Can I do better than him?

Throughout the entire process, Karl pushed himself to the limits of human capability. Apart from being unaware of the new [Mechanical Puppet] card and suffering some information gaps, he did everything in his power.

Even so.

We still lost. We've lost.

Can this god really win?

He looked down at his intelligence notebook, which contained more than a dozen entries, including analyses of "divine fear" and "divine pleasure," many of which lacked sufficient evidence.

After all, only one or two people have been able to unlock these two hidden modes so far.

The conclusions lack support from big data, are highly contingent, and are difficult to analyze definitively.

"What are you thinking about?" A familiar voice interrupted Luo Bai's thoughts.

Luo Bai turned around and saw that it was Yi Lan. His tense nerves relaxed, and he let out a long breath: "Was it all right?"

"Hmm." Yi Lan gave a soft hum and handed over a magic card. "The card you wanted."

"You actually managed to pull this off." Luo Bai held the warm, glowing [Crimson Lotus Demon. Calamity], then looked up, asking with some concern, "Are you... alright?"

She was wearing a mask, so her complexion was not visible.

However, his voice sounded weaker than before, indicating that he must have suffered a significant mental strain.

"It's alright! I'm safe!" The clever little girl snatched the body away, patted her chest, and said. The next second, her voice turned cold, switching back to her older sister mode, "Don't worry."

What were you thinking about just now?

The mature woman quickly changed the subject.

"I'm thinking—" Luo Bai looked at the Pharaoh, who had returned to a deathly silence, and slowly spoke.

"His forehead must have opened up by then."

"If I'm not mistaken, after opening his eyes, God should be able to see the challenger's hand."

"He should know that the director's hand consists of two [Abyss Beasts]."

"Why--"

"Not activate [Holy Grail A] directly?"

If God Fear could truly see through things, the subsequent blood-draining maneuvers would be unnecessary; a single burst would be enough to win.

"You're getting addicted to cards, want to play a little longer?"

"Or is it purely a violent mentality, wanting to ravage the opponent?"

The more conspiracy theories are discussed, the more terrifying they become.

Yi Lan chuckled after hearing this: "That's what you're thinking about?"

Luo Bai shook his head in silence.

Before going on stage, he wanted to learn as much as possible about this strange opponent.

“Don’t you think this god is a lot like you?” Yilan suddenly said.

Luo Bai was stunned for a moment, then pointed at himself: "Huh? Looks like...like me?"

“Do you remember?” Yilan recalled, “Back in the dungeon, you used the Cursed Eye to fight the cartoon.”

"Why didn't the [King of Cursed Eyes] destroy the [Cartoon Kingdom] beforehand? Let the other side destroy it for him."

"Why attack three times when two attacks would have been enough to win?"

“Uh—” Luo Bai suddenly became guilty, “It was just a simple mistake, I didn’t play well.”

"Alright, alright, it was a mistake." Yi Lan chuckled nonchalantly.

Her subconscious meaning has been conveyed.

Luo Bai also lowered his head deeply, adding another layer of explanation to the inexplicable actions of the gods.

While the [Mechanical Puppet] doesn't have a blank spirit attribute, it's not epic either, so it's unlikely to kill anyone.

The reason God didn't just detonate the card directly.

Trying to win by chipping away at someone's health might be—

Give the other side a way out.

As for what actually happened, nobody knows.

After all, it was just a procedure.

Luo Bai took out the prepared card deck and took deep breaths to calm himself down.

After adding the [Er] card, all that's missing are a few regular cards.

"Um—" He turned to look at someone, paused, and called out, "Brother Lin Yi!"

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Yi turned around in surprise, then ran over excitedly: "White... Masked Brother, are you going to go?!"

“That’s right,” Luo Bai replied. “I’m missing a few regular cards. Could you help me find them?”

"【Absolute King J Revolution...】"

He rattled off several card names and even publicly revealed the Kondratiev wave he had prepared.

After hearing this, Yi Lan frowned and looked strange.

Lin Yi's expression changed slightly, and he slowly said, "I can help you find all these cards."

"But--"

"Why don't you study it a little longer?"

His expression was conflicted, and he seemed hesitant to speak.

"You guys think my playing style is no good?" Luo Bai looked up at Lin Yi, Yi Lan, and Zhu Sika, his gaze questioning.

To be honest, he wasn't sure if it would work out.

"No, their fighting style is very impressive," Yi Lan said frankly, but her face still showed worry. "But..."

Her brows furrowed, and she looked very awkward.

I want to say something, but I don't know how to describe it.

"I have a feeling—"

Lin Yi scratched his head and said inexplicably, "It lacks a bit of the power of destiny."

After hesitating for a long time, he uttered a very mysterious word.

【destiny】.

The fighting style is very powerful, but it lacks the power of destiny?

Luo Bai pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes into slits, looking very puzzled.

Chapter 485 The Challenge of No Fate - Luo Bai (1)

“Lacking the power of destiny…” Luo Bai murmured repeatedly, looking up at the crowd.

"So how do you think God will handle this situation in my life?"

We're currently in the construction phase, so if there are any vulnerabilities in the Kondratiev wave, we can patch them in advance.

After the question was asked, everyone fell silent.

Yi Lan shook her head, looking worried: "I don't know how to describe it either."

"A normal person would probably surrender if they encountered your blockade."

"But the other party is a god..."

There was something strange about her that she couldn't quite put her finger on.

It's just that I clearly feel Luo Bai's fighting style is very strong and terrifying.

Yet, a vague unease lingered within me.

What's even stranger is that she has a hard time explaining it.

"Would it be better if we had the [PSY Frame Equipment·δ]..." Yi Lan tried to describe her inner thoughts.

"There's one more six-star monster on the field."

"This way, we don't need to cover up the [Excitement] skill, saving the [Butler] effect."

To accelerate the production of Chaos Dragon, the Lop-eared Rabbit needs a six-star monster on the field.

Without the magic [PSY], based on their card pool, you'll get [Butler] with the [Exhilaration] card.

Luo Bai knew this, and he turned to Lin Yi and asked, "Do you know where I can get the [PSY Frame Gear · δ]?"

Lin Yi shook his head repeatedly, pointed in a certain direction and muttered, "Those three red monsters."

"These past two days, people have been attacking monsters with telekinesis like crazy."

"I reckon they're the only ones who have this card right now."

Luo Bai looked in the direction he pointed, and as expected, it was the Jushe trio.

With their allies Immy and Karl falling one after another, their decks were destroyed in the duel.

Now, within the entire ruins, only they possess the magic [PSY] and [Red Mermaid].
