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

Luo Bai rubbed his hands together, eager to try.

He started by practicing with N-card materials.

Not surprisingly.

It exploded! Success! It exploded!

[Sealing] The margin for error is a bit low. If you draw it crookedly, even a slight mistake will cause the energy to dissipate and you have to start over. If it's too serious, the blank card will crack, and if you draw it crooked again, the card will break.

An hour has passed.

Twenty sets of N-card materials have been used up.

I've become quite skilled and have gained some experience.

Luo Bai turned his gaze to the UR card [Crystal Machine - Lemon Dragon], his eyes sharpening.

Believe in yourself!

He gave himself a pep talk and began to communicate with the spirits.

With a whoosh, the soul once again traveled through time and space.

It plunged into the deep sea, just like the ones I'd seen before.

Ruins, shipwrecks, damaged golden mechs, and standing holy stone monuments.

Please help us.

That familiar child's voice rang out again.

"What exactly do you want my help with...?"

Luo Bai floated to the Holy Stone Tablet as before and gently touched the patterns, but this time there was no reaction.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out, and the entire seabed churned, creating powerful turbulent currents that scattered the group of water machine monsters.

"Boom!"

Another roar followed, and a huge, deep red figure was knocked to the ground. A colossal sea monster, as tall as a mountain, appeared on the seabed.

Its body is covered with thick blue scales, and its strange feathered serpent-like body moves through the water, flapping its wings and creating turbulent currents. Its deep green eyes are wide open, and its fangs are full of ferocity and wildness.

【True Dragon Emperor Bahasad. Commander】.

True Dragon Emperor Bahasddu. Commander

The red mech that was knocked to the ground was the [Crystal Mechanic - Axis Phoenix].

Crystal Machine - Pomelo Phoenix

The Axis Phoenix was severely damaged, with its upper shoulder section completely destroyed, exposing its complex and dense internal linkages and turbine engine. Sparks were rising from the surface of the aircraft, and its control system was on the verge of collapse.

Bahamut, the leader, seized the opportunity to bite its shoulder and strangle it. The crimson mech's shell was torn to pieces by its claws and teeth, with cracks and dents covering its entire body.

Luo Bai's expression tightened. He entered the cockpit of the Yuzu Phoenix in his soul form. The interior was in chaos, with broken control panels and cracked screens scattered all over the floor. Sparks flew, arcs of electricity danced, and thick smoke and the smell of burning filled the air.

The driver was impaled by an iron pipe and was on the verge of death.

Luo Bai floated towards the driver, stared intently, and discovered...

The driver's eyes were bleeding, and he looked exactly like him!

Please help us.

That ethereal child's voice echoed in Luo Bai's mind once again.

Chapter 55 The Reversal Between the Present and the Underworld (Part 1)

Luo Bai stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded. He stared in disbelief at the person who was 100% similar to himself. The height, build, and facial features were exactly the same. The deep sea had become a mirror, and there was an extra version of himself.

"What exactly is this...?"

His heart was racing, his breathing was rapid, and he felt as if he were in a dream.

A strange emotion welled up in Luo Bai's heart, and as if possessed, Luo Bai slowly reached out to him. Blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth, and his dying eyes held a hint of shock and confusion. Their eyes met, and heavy breathing filled the air. For a moment, neither of them could speak.

"You are..."

He tried his best to open his mouth, wanting to ask something.

The weak hand slowly rose, wanting to touch Luo Bai, who was in a soul state before it.

"Pfft!"

The cockpit collapsed, and an iron pipe pierced through Luo Bai's soul form, penetrating his chest.

"Uh--"

He vomited a mouthful of blood.

The incident happened suddenly. Luo Bai's mouth was slightly open, and he stood stiffly in place. The sound of violent blood splattering came from his body, which was particularly jarring in the silence. A chill crept up his spine, and it seemed as if an invisible force was suppressing his shouts in his throat.

"Help...help..."

He seemed oblivious to the pain, raising his hand to push against the iron pipe as he moved toward Luo Bai, letting the cold iron pipe rub against his hot, broken chest, cutting out piece after piece of flesh.

"Help...us..."

With a painful groan, his trembling fingers finally touched Luo Bai's cheek.

But they came up empty-handed.

Falling helplessly.

He died.

[Crystal Mechanism - Axle Phoenix] lost its brainwave connection with the pilot, the control system shut down, the power engine gradually stopped humming, and the light of its deep red armor dimmed. It stopped struggling in the snake-like strangulation of [True Dragon Emperor Bahasdur. Commander].

"Crack!"

His left knee was severed.

Please help us.

That ethereal child's voice rang out again, this time with a hint of urgency.

"How can I help..."

Luo Bai looked around, his mind racing, trying to do something, but he was just a soul and couldn't touch anything.

【again】

Let's fight together!

A thought echoed in my mind.

At the same time, a white light suddenly emanated from the chests of Luo Bai and the deceased [him], and half of a broken blank card with the character "Bai" printed on it floated out. It was the card he had worn since childhood!

The two broken, blank cards seemed to attract each other and merge into one.

"Om-"

A blinding white light illuminated the deep sea. The Axis Phoenix rapidly heated up, exploding with intense heat. The surrounding seawater instantly boiled. [True Dragon Emperor Bahamas, Commander] was scalded, let out a wail, and quickly released the strangulation attack.

Suddenly, Luo Bai opened his eyes.

With an iron pipe inserted into his chest, he became the dead "him".

Meanwhile, inside the [Unbounded Realm - Rebirth Shop], the deceased [He] replaced Luo Bai, collapsing helplessly to the ground, clutching the [Crystal Mechanism] card from the spirit communication system tightly in his hand.

"Meow!!!"

Teacher Tony was so frightened that he screamed and rushed over after putting down the cat food.

He desperately wanted to release the card from Luo Bai's hand and interrupt the [Spirit Summoning].

But it wasn't strong enough; it couldn't pry Luo Bai's fingers off, nor could it bite them.

After the [living spirit] and the [dead spirit] are exchanged, if they are not switched back within five minutes during the spirit communication, the [living spirit's] body will suffocate and die, and the [living spirit's] soul - Luo Bai - will never return.

In the endless deep sea.

The living soul - Luo Bai - possessed the body of the dead. He felt dizzy as an iron pipe pierced his body, and blood dripped to the ground like water.

But it doesn't matter!

He can't feel pain!

Five minutes is enough!

"Hehehe..."

Luo Bai chuckled wildly as he snapped the iron pipe. His excited nerves reconnected with the Axis Phoenix, and the machine instantly became scorching hot. The hot steam forced back Bahasdus, but his left knee had been severed and the power system was damaged, making it difficult for him to stand up.

"Come!"

Inside the cockpit, Luo Bai roared loudly, his mouth full of blood, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.

The monsters outside the machine, called upon by the Crystal Machine, glowed with light, disintegrated and reassembled themselves, and their gathered prayers will transform into new power.

【Matrix Citrine】and 【Amethyst Dragon】combine to form 【Crystal Ingenuity - Matrix Amethyst Citrine】.

The combination of Quantum White Crystal and Smoky Tiger Crystal forms Quantum Corundum.

The Matrix Amethyst and Quantum Corundum flew toward the Axis Phoenix to repair the damage and form a brand new knee.

"again..."

"Stand up!"

Luo Bai controlled the Axis Phoenix to slowly stand up. The mech emitted a blazing light and exuded a scorching flame aura. A pair of sharp and bright eyes on the mech's head shone with a resolute light through the thick mask.

The temperature suddenly rose, and the seawater boiled violently!

"boom!"

Hot steam swept away everything around the machine, the abandoned iron ship melted under the high temperature, and in an instant the seabed was transformed into a lava inferno.

Luo Bai controlled the Axis Phoenix to deliver a backward elbow strike, tightened his left hand on Bahasddu's abdomen, and locked its spine with his claws, resulting in a loud explosion and a burst of fire!

"Whoosh—"

A sharp, piercing wail rang out.
