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

“Summon—” he gasped as he slapped the card down.

"【Phantom Spirit - Pixel Fairy】".

A dazzling light flashed, and a small, exquisite elf floated on the trial platform.

"[Soul Reaper]?!" Everyone frowned sharply. "How can [Soul Reaper] kill in one hit?"

"We're doomed..."

"There's no time left..."

【Phantom Spirit】is a heavy trap beat deck, which doesn't fit the description of a one-card kill.

A normal setup requires two cards: [Seeking the Way to Melusin] and [Querying the Common Card].

"【Pixel Fairy】can blindly stack three images, but..."

"Blindly stacking cards might result in cards with high spiritual potential, which are basically cards from the same family (like your own), so stacking cards from the same family is pretty useless..."

"Relying solely on the [Soul] family..."

"The sixteen spirits ultimately fell short..."

Inside and outside the snow-capped mountain, everyone gave up hope and sighed. Luo Bai, based on his understanding of the [Soul Spirit], also shook his head helplessly.

[Soul] doesn't have its own Link 1, and [Sixteen Witches] has requirements for its own materials, so you need two cards to start either way.

“Activate the effect of [Pixel Fairy]…” Nanyang Ling choked out, her throat parched. “Tribute this card, reveal the top 3 cards of your Deck, add 1 'Phantom Spirit' card to your hand, and send the rest to the Graveyard.”

"Will it work...?"

"Absolutely...we cannot lose...absolutely!"

He closed his eyes tightly, pressed his fingertips on the top of the deck, and breathed steadily.

Its entire body shimmered with a faint golden light.

“This guy…” Luo Bai slowly widened his eyes.

Nanyang Yuzi's voice faltered: "The aura of destiny..."

The Bible, in its "Duel Fairy Tale," states this.

"When the obsession runs deep enough, fate will respond."

"Draw—cards!" Nanyang Ling shouted angrily, flipping over the top three cards of her deck.

【Phantom Spirit: Infiltration Perry】

【Phantom Spirit - Inquire about Common Cards】

【Phantom Spirit - Malware Will-o'-the-Wisp】

All of them are cards from the same family; even with a bunch of Destiny cards, you can't get a bunch of cards that aren't there.

"I add [Will-o'-the-Wisp] to my hand, then Special Summon it."

"Activate the effect of [Will-o'-the-Wisp], Special Summon [Infiltrator Peri], then Link Summon both."

"Connect Summon!"

"Show yourself, Link2, [Phantom Spirit - Sixteen Witches Hestia]!"

Accompanied by bursts of sharp laughter, a strange figure gradually emerged in the distorted space.

"【Puri Infiltrator】Graveyard Sending Effect: Send 【Transforming Spirit Resurrection】 from the Deck to the Graveyard."

"Graveyard [Query Common Card] effect, return to hand."

"[Sixteen Witches] and the hand card [Query Common Card] are linked!"

"Connect Summon!"

"Link 3, [Phantom Spirit: King of Privacy Banshee]!"

Laughter echoed in the air, and the figure of [Privacy King Banshee] gradually became clear. It was composed of mechanical parts and magical energy, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.

"【Sixteen Witches】Graveyard effect: Add 【Merusin】to your hand."

“Except for the [Phantom Spirit Resurrection] in the graveyard, summon [Merusin].

"Activate the effect of [Privacy King Banshee], Tribute [Merusin], Special Summon from the Deck—"

The Nanyang musician's drawn-out melody, as resonant as a bell, struck the hearts of every onlooker.

"【Phantom Sorcerer - Multi-functional Scammer】!"

In a deep red glow, the [Multi-functional Scammer] slowly emerged, its face bearing an eerie smile that was impossible to decipher, sending chills down one's spine.

"They actually made it for him..." Luo Bai and the others' eyes flashed with amazement.

If we can get Faker, the rest is basically guaranteed.

Dibel's eyes were filled with pity: "It really is Ling, how could this happen..."

As members of the same pseudo-classic, the two usually get along quite well. Before Nanyang Ling went to Tazuna, she even entrusted the [Flame King] to her. They are partners who can entrust their decks to each other.

I never expected our reunion to be like this.

His physical condition looked terrible; he was neither human nor ghost, and it seemed as if his life was sustained only by some obsession.

“The effect of the [Multi-functional Scammer]…” Nanyang Ling gasped, “The chain effect of [Merusin]…”

"Special Summon...Search..."

"Connection Summoning... [Manager Titania]..."

"Override [Haunted Deadlock]..."

His voice grew softer and softer, almost inaudible to those around him.

However, the AI ​​referee did not stop it.

One minute later, three enormous monster figures hovered in the air.

The Fate of the Soul Card (The author is a master)

“[Management Titania]...[Privacy King Banshee]...[Sixteen Witches Hestia].” Nanyang Ling slowly raised her head, her eyes blazing with unwavering determination.

"Direct attack!"

The three monsters threw their heads back and let out sharp laughter. Demons danced wildly, and a powerful burst of magical energy caused the entire space to tremble violently. Amidst the distortion and chaos, countless claws lashed out at the trial platform.

【answer--】

Trial Platform LP: 8000→5000→1400→0

【Congratulations】

[Sixth challenge successful]

Everyone stared wide-eyed, frozen in place, speechless for a moment.

Two hundred and thirty years later, the underworld has once again gathered sixteen spirits.

Chapter 650 Matching Begins

"We've really collected all sixteen spirits." Shen Shenfei looked at them from afar in the sky, then turned to Mickey and said, "Boss, this is dangerous."

Mickey forced a smile: "Don't worry, we've collected sixteen spirits before, but the champion is still empty."

"You mean a draw or a double loss?" Shen Shen asked, puzzled.

The fact that no champion emerged even after all sixteen spirits were gathered suggests that one group experienced a double loss during the elimination process, possibly due to a hidden game or other reasons.

Mickey shrugged: "I don't know, that was before I took over."

He has been the Left Divine Envoy for about two hundred years, and the last time he gathered all sixteen spirits was two hundred and thirty years ago.

"I guess...it's related to Rule 9?"

"You still want to guess?" Shen Shen cast a suspicious glance at him. "Rule 9... the end point of lava is the sun? Wasn't that your rule?"

“I wrote it, but…” Mickey’s gaze deepened, “but this rule was already in place when I took over, and since it hadn’t been triggered, I’ve been using it ever since.”

"I never imagined that anyone could actually climb the Lava Road..."

Shen Shen frowned and pouted, "It doesn't feel like anything good."

[Trial Time is Over]

A cold, crisp announcement rang out from high above.

Upon hearing this, Shen Shen turned on the megaphone and shouted downwards, "An avalanche is coming!"

"Quick, find cover!"

The avalanche on the seventh level is even more terrifying than that on the fourth level, and it will completely deter those still climbing the mountain. It is a clearance mechanism after the time limit expires.

In an instant, a fierce wind arose on the mountaintop, and snowflakes poured down like goose feathers. The snow quickly accumulated, forming huge snowballs that rolled down the mountain.

The climbers scattered in panic, searching for shelter from the avalanche. However, the avalanche was too fast, and many were swallowed by the snowstorm.

Snow dust filled the air, turning the monitoring screens inside the mountains white and blurry.

Luo Bai turned off the monitor, looked up at the ceiling, and sighed softly while hugging the Rikka body pillow prepared by the organizer: "It seems that everyone has a reason to move forward."

Everyone wants to retrieve something from the underworld.

This obsession is extremely strong; the goal is not just to reach the top four, but to reach the top.

"Then what is my reason...?"

He stared blankly at the ceiling, his thoughts wandering. Even though he had already passed the seventh level and had advanced all the way to the Saintly Statue level, he still didn't know why.

To regain memories?

To become stronger?

Then what is the purpose of becoming stronger?

My thoughts wandered uncontrollably, and my memories suddenly went back to many years ago.

As a child, I would sit in front of the TV with my father as usual, watching Yu-Gi-Oh! GX.

Jaden Yuki saved the world through a duel.
