Hey! Let's play cards

"Great! He is able to fully tap your potential. He is indeed the most suitable successor."

Xu Ye was already satisfied to be able to witness the final form of the masked hero.

"Li Ming, you must be extra careful. Overlord's strength has only revealed the tip of the iceberg. The next duel will probably be even more difficult."

On the duel field, Overlord looked at Chaos Man silently.

"A good fighter, just good!" Overlord made his evaluation, seemingly not optimistic about Chaos Man.

"When the equipped monster is destroyed by battle by the effect of the Equipment Spell 'Claws of Evil', return this card to your hand instead.

Then destroy 1 monster other than the opponent's monster in battle, and inflict 600 points of damage to the opponent.

After that, Special Summon 1 'Evil Heart Token' to your opponent's field, and during this turn when this card is returned to your hand, you cannot use 'Claws of Evil' from your hand."

The scattered corpses were gathered together again and pieced together to form the appearance of an evil bladed demon.

The infusion of violent dark energy brought this corpse full of bloodshed back to life.

[Evil Heart Hero: Evil Blade Death Demon, attack power 2300→2000]

The Claw of Evil Fallen on the right arm of the Evil Blade Death Demon returned to the Overlord's hand.

A remaining dark energy transformed into sharp claws, bringing Chaos Man and Li Ming into the attack range.

Three black slashes passed by, and Li Ming and Chaos Man suffered heavy damage.

【Li Ming, LP900→300】

The health points of both sides reached the same level.

Chaos Man had no resistance to destruction and had to leave the stage with regret.

A tall beast-like demon appeared in Li Ming's field, growling loudly.

[Evil Heart Derivative, Defense 2500]

Overlord took advantage of the situation and attacked: "I opened the Gefu card, the Trap Card 'Evil Heart Explosion', which can only be activated when the opponent has a monster Special Summoned on the field.

After activation, this card becomes an Equip Card with 500 ATK increased, equip it to that monster, and inflict 500 damage to your opponent during each of their Standby Phases."

[Evil Heart Derivative, Attack Power 2500→3000]

Under normal circumstances, Li Ming would be very happy to have a monster with 300 attack points, but now, Li Ming only has points of health left.

Just 500 points of damage was enough to defeat Li Ming.

……

"What? It's useless?"

"Damn it! Even 'Anti-Hero Chaos Man' can't defeat the Evil Blade Death Demon."

"Oops! Oops! OMG!"

"We can only hope that Li Ming still has a solution, right?"

"Doesn't it mean that in the next round, Li Ming will..."

No one expected that even a hero with the power of chaos would be unable to punish the evil Evil Blade.

Overlord even launched a counterattack and secured victory in one fell swoop.

The Evil Heart derivative on Li Ming's field is like a bomb that is about to explode. Coupled with the negative effect of the permanent magic "Mirage of Nightmare", it seems to be able to sentence Li Ming to death.

"Failed! The Overlord's strength is truly unfathomable." Li Ming did not fall into despair.

As long as the duel continues, as long as cards can be drawn, there is still hope.

Now it is still the Overlord's turn.

The battle phase ends and we enter the main phase 2.

"I have two cards hidden, and the round is over!" The Overlord firmly controlled the situation and did not allow Li Ming any chance to turn the tables.

Li Ming looked at the next card, his eyes revealing an unprecedented determination.

I will never lose!

Everyone's heart tightened.

"In my deck, there is only that one card that can break the deadlock!" Li Ming opened his eyes wide, and his pupils turned golden.

A mysterious bond binds Li Ming and the cards tightly together.

What's the next card?

The result is already determined!

"It's my turn, draw a card!" Li Ming drew a card.

Entering the preparation phase, the effects of "Nightmare Mirage" and "Evil Heart Blast" are activated.

Li Ming didn't even look at it and directly inserted the drawn card into the duel disk.

"Quick-Play Magic 'Extreme Food': Send any number of Magic and Trap Cards on your field, except this card, to the Graveyard.

You recover life points equal to the number of cards sent to the Graveyard by activating this card x 1000."

Li Ming sent the permanent magic "Mirage of Nightmare" into the graveyard, restoring 1000 health points.

[Li Ming, LP300→1300→800]

"He...he did it!"

"Oh my god! He can perfectly deal with the negative effects of two cards."

"Strange? How could he know that the card is 'Extraordinary Food' when he has never seen it before?"

……

Everyone cheered for the hope created by Li Ming, and some duelists keenly noticed something strange when Li Ming drew the card.

Golden eyes!

Almost exactly the same as the Overlord’s golden eyes!

The only difference is that Overlord's golden eyes appear cold and without a trace of emotion, while Li Ming's golden eyes are very hot, like a leaping flame.

This duel...is becoming more and more unexpected!

"That's right! That's right! Only by defeating you as you are now can I truly win." The moment he saw Li Ming's golden eyes ignite, the Overlord's aura reached an unprecedented high.

Li Ming did not retreat, and released his own aura with all his strength to collide with the aura of the Overlord.

The two terrifying auras have turned into substance.

The shock wave generated by the collision almost caused the duel arena to fall apart, with dense cracks appearing.

No one dared to make a sound to disturb them, as if a huge rock was pressing on their hearts.

The brain is trembling and the consciousness is gradually leaving the body.

A few staff members with low strength even rolled their eyes and fainted.

The aura of the two continued to rise higher and higher, even the clouds were split apart, revealing a crack a thousand miles long.

After a few seconds, the two stopped fighting tacitly, but the sparks of battle were still surging in the air.

"We must try our best! The Overlord in front of us is probably several points stronger than Director Mo."

Li Ming was secretly shocked.

Director Mo, who possesses the power of Olihagang, was able to fight You Xin and Li Ming at the same time at his peak. He forced the two into desperate situations several times and forcibly controlled the two phantom gods.

I'm afraid even the Black King who possesses the Ultimate Phantom God, or the White King who possesses the power of the Red Dragon, are slightly inferior to him.

If there hadn't been help from the Three Mythical Gods and the Legendary Dragon, the outcome of that earth-shattering duel would have been uncertain.

But now... after the test just now, Li Ming discovered that Overlord's strength was even greater than that of Director Mo.

When the two of them faced Director Mo, they almost escaped death.

If now... Li Ming was the only one left... his chances of winning might be slim.

but--

Li Ming has reasons why he must win, for this world, for the innocent people who were sacrificed, and for the promise he made with You Xin.

"I will definitely win!"

Chapter 598 Destiny

"Li Ming, be careful!" You Xin, who was closest to the duel venue, also sensed the terrifying power possessed by the Overlord.

He is simply a world-destroying demon!

"You will definitely win!" You Xin believed that Li Ming would win, just as Li Ming always believed that You Xin would win.

"The Spell Card 'Pot of Greed' targets 5 monsters in your Graveyard, and shuffles them into your Deck.

After that, draw 2 card from your deck."

Five monster cards are returned to the deck, and Li Ming draws two cards.

The effect of the continuous trap "Handy" is activated again, and the Overlord draws two cards.

"Troublesome perpetual trap!" Li Ming couldn't let Overlord continue to draw cards unscrupulously.

"Magic Card 'Trap Disarm', select 1 face-up Trap Card on the field and destroy it."

The perpetual trap "Bian Riding" explodes!

"Next! I activate the Spell Card 'Seven Star Sword', banish a Level 1 monster from your hand or from a face-up monster on your field, and draw 7 cards from your deck."

Li Ming excluded the level 7 Evil Heart derivative and exchanged it for two card resources.

After all, it is a time bomb, so we might as well use it to make some contribution.

The ultimate hero, Chaos Man, has failed, but the other heroes will take over his will and continue to fight.

"Master Wu Mingxin, please lend me a helping hand!"

Li Ming solemnly drew out a card.

"Magic Card 'Fusion Fate', from your hand or deck, send the Fusion Material Monster determined by the Fusion Monster Card to the Graveyard,
