The card player needs to win easily

When Yami Bakuryō looked at the moment he pulled out the card, a curved crack appeared on his face in the form of a smile.

His white hair blew in the wind, and two tufts of hair stood above his forehead - like the horns of a devil.

"Hahahahaha! It seems fate is also pushing the needle of the 'Ouija Board', causing the 'message of death' to appear above your head!"

"I'll enter the main phase—and then activate the field magic!"

"Hell's Doll House!"

"What……!"

Baron was confident that he could stop Yami-no-Yaki with any other card—except this card, a Field Spell Card that was activated before any monster was summoned.

The only thing that was activated at the beginning of the turn was "Hell's Doll House", and Baron had no way to deal with it.

"Aren't you quite aggressive?! Come on! Come and try to stop me!"

No matter how aggressive they are, they cannot break through this solid defense line.

After checking his own hand and the deck on the duel board, and adding the "Mechanical Puppet - Little Soldier Team" and "Mechanical Puppet - Bloody Doll" already revealed in An Moliang's hand, Baron immediately made a decision.

He ripped off the green pendant and held it up.

"Fragments of Orichalcum! Release your power!"

Too sudden an action.

What Baron was about to do now was so fast that even a normal person would not be able to react.

Simply put, he was going to pull out the screws and run away with lightning speed.

By releasing all the energy stored in the fragments of "Orichalcum", that is, the green pendants held by the Doma members, it is possible to break the "Orichalcum Barrier" just once and escape from the duel.

However, after using it, there will be a huge backlash - but Baron can no longer care about that.

"Let's break the "Orichalcum Barrier"—"

"Ah."

However, the premise of all this is that he is facing an ordinary duelist.

"What a boring scheme."

A dark hand rose from the ground and broke through the bottom of the "Orichalcum Barrier".

"...!?"

Baron felt the vibration coming from the soles of his feet.

He was about to look down—but he found that his hands were unable to move.

A black mist enveloped his wrists.

"when--"

"When you use this method, darkness will completely cover you."

The brown eyes beneath the white hair revealed a fierce red light.

As the incarnation of the evil god, An Moliang can be called the most terrifying existence in this world - although under the suppression of certain forces, he is only reflected in the dark game.

But this time, the almost endless dark energy was completely liberated through Baron's actions using the dark game as a medium.

The green pendant fell from the sky and hit the ground. It bounced a few times and then stopped making any sound.

“Huh… eh!?”

Baron was grabbed by the neck by the dark mist and was lifted up by force.

White non-matter spewed out of his mouth, forming the shape of a human - and the struggle of his limbs became weaker and weaker.

“Hehehe…hehehe!!!”

An Moliang walked forward and stabbed his hand into Baron's soul.

Stirring and groping—he found what he wanted.

"The Temple... So this is the true headquarters of you insects."

He casually threw the soul that was on the verge of breaking next to Baron's body, and picked up the "Millennium Wheel" on his chest.

All the pointers on it point to the unconscious person.

"You are no longer useful, go to hell..."

"..."

A hand reached out.

An Moliang raised his head and looked at the uninvited guest - then his body froze.

"Energy body...recovery."

The green stone flashed suddenly on the tip of the slender finger, and then dimmed completely.

“You…you…!”

Two familiar figures appeared in front of An Moliang.

One has purple hair, the other has gray hair.

The purple-haired girl applied a little force with her fingers——

"Snapped."

The fragments of "Orichalcum," or rather, the remnants of its energy that had been drained away, turned into fluorescent light and scattered.

"What are you going to do?"

"It won't threaten this world, and may even help it... That's probably how I feel."

The purple-haired girl, with a calm expression and no ripples in her eyes, looked at Seren who was holding a one-handed sword behind her.

"...I understand, but aren't you afraid of being punished by the Sirens for acting on your own?"

"I probably won't be able to wait until then—when the time comes, maybe you can help me explain it?"

The purple-haired girl tilted her head and nodded her chin, with a somewhat empty look in her eyes, giving off an inexplicable sense of weirdness - completely different from her previous appearance in front of Siren.

"I won't explain. I only do insurance for Siren."

Celine said firmly.

However, the one-handed sword she sheathed seemed to say that she would not interfere.

"Ok."

"No, you are not them."

After recovering from the state of constricted pupils, Yamoro gathered away the black mist around him—however, he still held the Millennium Wheel tightly in his hand.

"What do you want to do?"

"Just collecting energy—my actions will probably be the same as yours."

The purple-haired girl looked at Baron who was unconscious beside her, gathered up the broken white matter around her, and stuffed it back into her original body.

"See? For these people, I need their energy bodies—you don't seem to need them."

Yamo Liang looked at the purple-haired girl and frowned.

The other party had no ill intentions, at least my instinctive alarm did not sound.

However, this is what puzzles An Moliang the most, as he can see a glimpse of the other person's soul.

"You possess a darkness so rich and intense... why would you need something so impure?"

Moreover, for An Moliang, the darkness overflowing from the other party's soul seemed to be something similar to what he had seen before - it seemed like he had been observing the sky before.

"The Great Darkness is not something that can be used casually."

"In comparison, the convenient things that can provide energy are these energy bodies in this world - cooperation?"

"Hey, your statement is totally unreliable."

Black mist surged from An Moliang's body.

The wind blew from all directions, blowing across the ground.

"Even the dark energy I possess is much more useful than these things. If your goal is as you say, even the energy you can obtain by killing me is much better than this method."

"I cherish life."

The purple-haired girl replied calmly.

"what?"

His eyebrows were twitching.

At this moment, An Moliang's face was full of an expression that said, "What you are talking about, don't say things that insult my intelligence in front of me."

He didn't believe it. With this level of darkness, he would believe it even if the other party said that he was a guy who destroyed an entire planet.

Barely suppressing his expression, An Moliang shook his head and didn't intend to refute anything - since the other party said such words, he might as well just obey her.

After all, if we cooperate, it will be very beneficial to ourselves.

Even if the other party wanted to do something to harm him, An Moliang had enough confidence to escape - there was still a lot of dark energy left from the duel with Baron.

"Okay, happy cooperation."

"Ah."

I hope he won’t be an abstract teammate like Malik did that time.

Looking at the slight smile that finally appeared on the other person's lips, and the complicated expression on Seren behind him, An Moliang thought so.

Thomas: Chapter 171: Morning Song of the Knight of the Holy Icon

Liva was nibbling on something that looked like jam bread in her hand.

To be honest, it's soft and a little sweet and sour, and quite delicious.

She had originally prepared herself to eat black bread, but unexpectedly the food was quite good - it is said that compared to modern society, most food in history lacked rich seasonings, resulting in poor flavor. However, this world is not the Middle Ages, and the magic-like technology ensures that the food in Liva's hands is delicious.

According to what Oram explained to her, the way they traveled to the other side of the planet wasn't by using the Dou Qi-transforming-a-horse thing that Liva had stereotyped, but by using the power of the "Star Relic - 'Star Crown'" to complete multiple space jumps to reach their destination - who knows where the technology tree (or magic tree) of this world has led to.

In short, this journey will not be too long. Similarly, since space jumps require time to charge, it will not be very short.

After estimating the distance between herself and the Sacred Tree Lake, Liva sat down and leaned against the tree.

She said something to Oram, deliberately avoided others, and ran away.

"Hopefully this distance won't be a problem."

Not far away, at the edge of the Sacred Tree Lake, which Yuliwa deliberately stayed away from, all the troops had gathered.

Oram stood at the front of the team, holding a scimitar etched with blue patterns high in the air.

"Everyone! Since the founding of the 'Icon Knights', their goal of changing the world is now within reach! The 'Mecha-Insects' that swarm across the land have been completely controlled, and the scattered tribes have united. Now, only the 'Great Darkness' stands before us!"

As he raised his arms and shouted, the leaders of several tribes also raised their weapons with determined looks and stood in front of the assembled troops.

"Everyone who has participated in the 'Icon Knights', I'm sure you've already sensed that a certain force is on the other side of the planet, attempting to draw out the power of the 'Great Darkness' within the Earth's core. Perhaps a fierce battle awaits us."

"But, even so, for the sake of life on this planet, for the sake of our loved ones and friends behind us, and for you and me standing here, we must work together! We must unite against a common enemy!"

"I believe that everyone has such determination... Likewise, I believe in everyone who has such determination!"

Oram turned and looked at the "Icon Knight" who was named "Sacred Tree".

"Divine Tree Tribe, please activate the Star Crown and bestow protection upon our warriors!"

The emerald-haired elf nodded and raised his hands high.

Green points of light rose from her hands, from the scimitar behind Oram, and from the hands of all the elves gathered in this army, and flew towards the center of the lake behind them.

A deep, heavy sound came almost immediately from beneath them, and then, waves grew larger and larger and crashed against the shore, splashing water.

First, a huge purple roof slowly appeared in the center, followed by six sharp corners in different directions - and this was just the top of a part of the huge machine.

Water streamed down from the sky like a waterfall, and after a blue light illuminated the entire forest, the entire "Star Relic - Star Crown" finally appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Is this the true form of the deity that protects the Sacred Tree Tribe and brings peace to the forest?"
