In this world where everyone is a dueling brain

If only it were that easy...

The legion commander on the field radiated light, and the cavalry war chess piece at its connecting end disappeared, replaced by a sculpture of a fighter holding a dark red longbow.

"The legion leader's effect sends the Sky Cavalry on your field below level 4 to the graveyard, and special summons a Sky Cavalry monster below level 4 from the graveyard."

"I specially summoned the Demon Archer from the cemetery at the connection end of the Legion Master."

Then, the magic bow on the sculpture turned into light and came into the hands of the legion commander. At this moment, the characteristics of the cavalry in heavenly costume were revealed.

The upper-ranked cavalry can obtain the weapons of the lower-ranked cavalry to exert different abilities.

It's like a general commanding thousands of troops to fight.

Now, the Legion Master gains the ability of the Archer.

"When the Demon Archer appears on the link side, it can only be activated by targeting one Arrow of Judgment in one's own Spell and Trap Zone where the link monster is connected."

"This turn, Celestial Cavalry monsters you control cannot be destroyed by effects."

Hikari's duel thinking is not the same as that of Guangguopuo. Guangguopuo is a man stunned by the arrow of judgment, and Hikari discarded this connection magic at the beginning of the duel.

The three arrows emitting the twilight light disappeared.

"After this effect is applied, the target card is sent to the graveyard, and..."

The head of the legion stretched the string of the magic bow in his hand, and the arrow of light condensed on the string, and the light kept flickering, becoming more and more dazzling.

This scene is very familiar, and Keiji remembered this performance effect when watching the animation.

If I remember correctly, Guang Guo Guo used this ability to destroy all the monsters on the enemy field.

Hikari said calmly——

"—Destroy all face-up cards in the opponent's Spell & Trap Zone and Main Monster Zone."

The next moment, the legion leader let go of the bowstring, and the arrow of light flew out, splitting into many arrows in the air.

The arrows flew like meteors and then fell like rain, and these arrows were all aimed at the five monsters on the field.

Kouji was stunned for a while, and then, the monsters on his field were overwhelmed by the arrows of light...

Broken sounds rippled across the field, and the light annihilated Kaguya's monsters like a wave. A burst of fierce smoke dissipated, and Kaguji saw that all the monsters on his field were wiped out.

It wiped out five monsters in an instant.

"Due to the effect of Archer, Judgment Arrow's exit effect will not destroy the Celestial Cavalry on my field."

The legion commander still rode his iron horse and stood proudly on the field.

"The effect of Thunder Dragon is triggered, retrieving Thunder Bird Dragon from the deck, and the effect of Druid Scale Insect, sending your legion leader to the graveyard."

Kouji activated the effect of the druid scaleworm.

But Hikari showed no signs of panic.

"Just now, when the Demon Archer appeared at the Legion Commander's connection, I activated the Legion Commander's effect. This round, the Legion Commander will not be affected by the opponent's effect."

The druid scaleworm tried to pull the commander into the abyss, but the golden light erupted from the commander's body, blocking the two like a wall.

All the monsters on Kouji's field were wiped out, but because of this, Hika suffered like a dog.

"However, you only have one monster left on the field, the leader of the legion. I use the effect of the Thunderbird Dragon to resurrect the Thunderbird Dragon, and then fusion summon—"

In the sea of ​​flowers, the figure of a giant dragon loomed, like a mural in the sky, and soon, the monster appeared with thunder.

Super Thunder Dragon roared at the ground.

Ouyang looked up at the Super Thunder Dragon monster, and was even more convinced that the guy in front of him was Keuji, but when did he use DL, and at this level?

"Attack with the Super Brontosaurus."

Although the legion leader will not be destroyed by the effect, his attack power is only 2400. Hikari himself sent the Arrow of Judgment to the graveyard, but he cannot increase his attack.

The Super Thunder Dragon launched an attack, and a bolt of lightning struck the legion commander.

"The effect of the Eagle Banner, this round, the battle damage caused by the legion leader's battle to himself is 0."

Eagle Flagbearer is a monster that was just sent to the graveyard by the Legion Commander's effect. Because it was connected to the Legion Commander, it gave the Legion Commander this ability at this time.

At this time, Ouyang also roughly understood the mechanism of the boss.

It is a connecting card group that connects the upper-level and lower-level cavalry, so that the upper-level cavalry can gain abilities.

Through the lower-level Celestial Cavalry, cultivate the Celestial Cavalry connection monsters into monsters that can be called BOSS.

The Legion Commander was destroyed, but Hikari suffered no combat damage.

Kouji thought for a while, and ended the round like this.

"I still don't understand why you suddenly want to destroy human beings. You already know that those human beings are just virtual data, so is it necessary to do that?"

Hikari didn't answer Kouji in a hurry, but just drew a card first and looked at the cards in his hand.

"My turn, draw a card."

It raised its head and looked at the sea of ​​flowers. Through the virtual sea of ​​flowers, it could see the Dawn City. Most of the Dawn City had been turned into ruins.

These are all done by his own hands.

It manipulated the AI, destroyed most of this place, and turned it into a forbidden place where no one set foot.

"It's just a setting, is there anything to worry about?"

It paused and said so.

Ouyang was listening, frowning, feeling a little strange, as if something was wrong.

"Alright, let's continue our duel."

Hikari tapped the card he had just drawn, and that card appeared in the sea of ​​flowers——

That card is - the dead come to life.

Needless to say the effect of this card, the cross radiated light, and soon, the centurion with the appearance of a silver knight reappeared on Hikari's field.

"The Demon Archer is a monster that is linked together and summoned - Captain Ten."

"Send the Sky Cavalry in your hand to the cemetery, activate the effect of the Sky Armor Arena, and special summon the Sky Cavalry from the graveyard to the centurion's connection."

Two sculptures appear on either side of the centurion.

The next moment, the connection call appeared again.

"Use the centurion and the two-piece sky-armored cavalry to perform a link summon—"

The three monsters turned into light, and formed a cross in the ring of continuous summoning, and in the sacred arena, a majestic light like dusk fell.

A giant elephant in golden armor trampled the flowers on the ground and appeared on the field. On the elephant's back was a fighter king sitting on the throne.

"Appear——Commander marching on the battlefield of the chaotic network..."

"—Link Summoning, LINK-4, Commander of the Celestial Cavalry."

Kouji looked at the imposing golden giant elephant and the commander on top of it.

This is the ace of the Sky Cavalry, the LINK-4 monster, known as the Fire Elephant.

"Continuous magic, the effect of the code of heavenly armor, targets the magic in the cemetery and the armored cavalry, returns the magic to the deck, and then collects the monster of the heavenly armored cavalry into the hand."

The Celestial Cavalry Monster has come to Hikari, which means...

"The effect of the Celestial Dressed Arena is activated, and two Celestial Dressed Cavalry are specially summoned from the graveyard at the connection end of the commander-in-chief."

"Connect one of the cavalry in cavalry to summon the Flame Knight."

"The last card in my hand is the Celestial Cavalry Plate Soldier. I will normally summon this monster, then send the Plate Armored Soldier and another Celestial Cavalry to the cemetery to summon the Chief Centurion."

A knight covered in black armor appears. The effect of this monster's appearance is to remove the number of connected monsters on the field from the top of your deck. At this time, there are three connected monsters on the field.

Therefore, three cards are excluded.

"In my next preparation phase, these three cards will be added to my hand."

Commander-in-Chief, Chief Centurion, Knight of Fire,

"At the same time, the effect of the Plate Soldier is triggered. According to the number of connecting arrows of the Centurion, return the card from the graveyard to the deck. After that, you can choose a card from my remaining graveyard to add to my hand."

Hikari returned all the link monsters to Extra, and the rest were Judgment Arrow and Celestial Cavalry monsters.

"Come on, choose."

There is a card name limit for sending tombs in the Celestial Dressed Arena, so Huiji chose one of the discarded Celestial Dressed Cavalrymen.

That card was added to Hikari's hand.

"As long as there are Thunder monsters in the graveyard, Super Thunder Dragon will not be destroyed by battle or effects."

And Hikari raised his hand lightly, LINK-4's trump card, the ace link monster commander, radiated golden light all over his body, and the giant elephant stomped heavily.

"The effect of the commander-in-chief, returning the number of cards connected to this card from the opponent's field or graveyard to the hand."

Now, there are two monsters connected to the commander-in-chief, so two cards can be played.

"Return the Super Thunder Dragon on your field to the deck."

"——The power of heaven!"

Immediately, the Super Thunder Dragon on the field was shrouded in light, and then returned to Kouji's extra deck.

His field was empty.

There are four monsters on Hikari's field.

Something seems to be wrong with Keiji.

Ouyang looked at Hikari... This is the strength of the final boss of the Realm of Light.

With the direct attack of all the monsters on the field, Kouji's basic points dropped rapidly, he was knocked out, and he lay down in the sea of ​​flowers.

A gust of wind carrying the scent of flowers blew by.

"The round is over."

Kouji stood up slowly from the ground, re-entered the battlefield, and then drew a card.

Suddenly, a hole opened in the sea of ​​flowers, and the virtual image gradually became unable to hold up, revealing the scene in the original control room.

The screen in the control room happened to show such a picture.

Hikari lightly pressed the button, manipulated all the AIs in the city, and began to destroy the humans in the city. The humans in the city fled in all directions, and the originally prosperous city was gradually reduced to ruins.

These are what Hikari once did with his own hands.

At this time, Ouyang looked at Huiji's appearance, recalled the previous conversation, and reminded one sentence——

"In the setting of the plot, Hikari is out of control because he is instilled with ego."

AI has a self, which is actually a very scary thing, which means that AI will become selfish and may become hostile to humans.

Keiji didn't rush to answer, but just glanced at Hikari.

Hikari spread his hands.

"Do you understand that as indoctrination? What a pity, you are a boring human being."

However, Keiji is also curious about what Hikari's background setting is like, how it was born, and how it became what it is now.

Hikari said calmly as usual——

"I'm just looking for the meaning of life, that's all."

Now, the same is true.

——It seeks the meaning of life.

Chapter 19AI

As an AI, Hikari experiences the world differently from humans.

For humans, the world of DL is so real. Whether it is modeling or rendering, there is no difference between it and reality.

But AI will not be deceived by modeling and graphics.

For it, this world is so small, and in this small space, it is full of falsehood and emptiness.

In this DL data, nothing is real, just a bunch of fake data used to deceive humans. Except for "players", only a few other AIs are real.
