A duelist never gives up!

"What kind of monster is this?!"

"I don't know, but it's definitely not a fusion monster. He didn't even use a magic card fusion!"

"Could it be a fusion monster that doesn't need fusion?!"

"That must be it! That's right, this is a fusion monster that doesn't need fusion!"

Even though Hara Nana clearly said the four words "X-Force Summoning", and even though the Postman and Madeline Witch were still left on the field as X-Force materials, everyone present chose to ignore this sentence and forcibly gave Crown Tiramisu the title of "Fusion Monster".

"It's actually a Fusion Monster that doesn't require fusion?" Ivan seemed to believe this. "A Fusion Monster that can appear without fusion is indeed very powerful, but its attack power is only 2200! Even if you add your Magic Dessert Castle, it's only 2700, which is still 300 attack power short of my Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

Although Ivan said this, he was obviously panicked.

Since Yuan Qi has a card like Double Summon, does it also have an Equipment Magic card that increases attack power?

If you add exactly 300, or even 50 more... you will be the one in crisis!

"I activate the effect of the Queen of Magic Desserts, Crown Tiramisu!" Faced with Ivan's "usual rhetoric before temporarily becoming a villain", Yuan Qi's choice was to ruthlessly break his fantasy!

Once per turn, detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, and target up to 1 "Golem Sweets" cards in your Graveyard. Return those cards to the Deck, and select the card with the most return points from your opponent's field and return them to the owner's Deck!

Yuan Qi said, reaching into the graveyard and said, "I will return Jelly Angel and Postman from the graveyard to the deck. After that, I choose to return the two Blue-Eyes White Dragons on your field to the deck!"

"What? Return to the deck?!" Ivan even suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Aren't monster effects usually like "not destroyed by battle once per turn", "increases attack power by 500 during Normal Summoning", "increases attack power by 200 for each monster on the opponent's field"?!

What is Return to Deck? Is this really a monster effect?!

However, facts cannot be changed by personal will. As the scepter in the hand of Queen Tiramisu gently shook, the two Blue-Eyes White Dragons on Ivan's field turned into two white lights and returned to Ivan's deck.

"..."

silence.

A suffocating silence spread across the duel arena. Everyone stared with their eyes wide open, looking at the scene in front of them in disbelief, but they could not deny it.

"This is the strongest monster!" After an unknown amount of time, Ino, who was standing behind Yuan Qi, shouted excitedly, "It's much stronger than the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

Yuan Qi looked at Ino with a strange expression, thinking that this guy used to say that the Blue-Eyes White Dragon was the strongest, so why did he turn against him so quickly?

"Nonsense! Blue-Eyes White Dragon is the strongest!"

After a brief mental breakdown, Ivan finally reacted. "So what if it bounces back to the deck? I still have a Blue-Eyes White Dragon on the field! No matter how powerful your Crown Tiramisu is, its attack power is still lower than that of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

Yuan Qi sighed and drew another card from his Extra Deck. "I don't really want to discuss which monster is stronger. After all, everyone has their own Tamashi. But... your Blue-Eyes White Dragon probably won't stand a chance against my Crown Tiramisu."

As he spoke, Yuan Qi raised his hand high and said in a deep voice: "I will stack the Magic Puppet Dessert Queen Crown Tiramisu on the field, and form a super network composed of monsters, and Xyz Summon!"

"Magic Dessert - Pudding Princess Chocolate Pudding Platter!!!"

Princess Pudding, wearing a black dress, winked playfully, with her small hands gently placed on her slender waist. Although she looked like a child, she possessed a mature charm.

However, compared to the appearance and attack power of the chocolate pudding platter.

One thing shocked everyone even more.

The two monsters can be said to be a fusion monster that does not require a fusion magic card.

This monster transformed...

Can it also be considered a fusion monster? !

"This, isn't a fusion monster?" The middle-aged man behind Ivan finally couldn't help but speak.

No one responded to him. Everyone had an idea in their mind, but they looked at each other and didn't dare to speak.

Someone used a summoning method other than fusion summoning, which is too horrifying!

"Hey, in that case, doesn't that mean we win?" Ino pointed at the chocolate platter on the original seven fields.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Even though this monster has 300 points more attack power than the previous one, it's still only 2500. It's no match for the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Tianlan continued as usual.

"But the Puppet Dessert Castle can increase the attack power of the Puppet Dessert monsters on the field by 500." Ino said with a proud smile.

"500? 2500+500..." Tianlan twisted his neck stiffly and looked at the Blue-Eyes White Dragon on Ivan's field.

"It's 3000." Ivan said with a pale face.

Chapter 25: There is only one answer!

ended.

everything is over.

The moment Ivan saw the chocolate platter on the original seventh field, a feeling of regret surged into his heart like a tide.

If I had known that Yuan Qi was so strong, I would not have dueled with him. Even if I had randomly assigned a duelist to duel with Yuan Qi instead of fighting him myself, there would still be room for maneuver.

But just as a river that flows into the sea cannot return to the valley, time cannot flow backwards.

No, wait, there's another way!

Ivan's pupils shrank suddenly. Just now, it was as if a flash of lightning passed through his cerebral cortex, and a bold idea emerged in his mind!

That's right, it's not over yet, there's still something I can do! That is...

"thump!"

With a slight sound, Ivan landed on his knees on the soft soil and said with his head lowered, "I was wrong about what happened before. Please let me go!"

"You..." Yuan Qi was stunned for a moment as he watched Ivan kneel before him. He managed to utter the following words, "You're quite flexible."

"What are you doing, Chief?" the guard beside him said in shock and anger. "You are the chief of our Blue-Eyes White Dragon Tribe. How can you kneel down to others like this?!"

"If he doesn't kneel, he's no longer the clan leader." The middle-aged man behind Ivan slowly emerged from the crowd. "Once the duel is over, the bet will take effect immediately. Then Yuan Qi will be our new clan leader."

"This...this kind of thing is too absurd, isn't it?" Tian Lan looked at Yuan Qi standing not far away, and his heart skipped a beat. "As long as everyone here doesn't spread it, there will be no problem, right?"

I just offended Yuan Qi so much. If Yuan Qi becomes the tribe leader, let alone rising to the top, I will probably have to live in the lower class of the tribe for the rest of my life!

In that case, why not...

Tianlan looked at the spear in his hand, and an evil thought gripped Tianlan's heart like a dark hand, making him nervous.

"The last person who didn't abide by the duel was struck to death by thunder." The middle-aged man glanced at Tian Lan calmly. "Do you also want to turn into a puff of black ash?"

"..."

"Please, if the Blue-Eyes White Dragon Tribe loses my leadership now, it will definitely be overtaken by other tribes!" Ivan said sincerely, "I was greedy before. Now, if you are willing to voluntarily admit defeat, I can collect your deck and return it to you. Then you can use all the cards in the tribe at will. Being a tribe leader means handling official business. You are so young, you don't want to sit in the White Dragon Palace all day dealing with documents, right?"

"Well, it does sound troublesome." Yuan Qi nodded.

Ivan suddenly felt like he was reborn, with hope glittering in his eyes: "In that case, then..."

"I activate the Field Spell Card—Goblin's Sweets Castle," Hara Nana suddenly said. "When this card is activated, if there are 'Goblin's Sweets' monsters in your Graveyard, return all of them to the Deck. As long as this card is on the field, all 'Goblin's Sweets' monsters on the field gain 500 ATK and DEF!"

Chocolate platter atk: 2500 → 3000.

Hot Pancake Owl ATK: 1500 → 2000

"What are you going to do?!" Ivan looked at Yuan Qi in panic, "Think about it carefully, think about it carefully. Is being the clan leader really what you want? If you are willing to admit defeat, then money, women, status, honor..."

"I'm entering the battle phase." Yuan Qi slowly extended his hand and pointed his slender index finger at the only remaining Blue-Eyes White Dragon on Ivan's field. "I'm going to use the Chocolate Platter to attack the Blue-Eyes White Dragon on your field!"

The next second, the chocolate platter that had received the original order of No. 7 waved its little hands, and pieces of fragrant little cakes hit the Blue-Eyes White Dragon like a dessert fountain. The Blue-Eyes White Dragon was naturally not to be outdone. It opened its mouth and fired an explosive gale bomb. Then, with a huge explosion, the two monsters were hit by each other's attacks and disappeared from the duel field.

Thus, only Owl was left on the duel field.

"I will use the owl to attack you directly!" Yuan Qi commanded the owl.

"No, no... don't come over here!!!" Ivan shouted in panic as he looked at the owl flying towards him.

"thump!"

With a slight sound, Ivan was knocked away by the owl, and his LP returned to 0.

Win: Yuan Qi!

Everyone looked at Ivan who had fallen down, then looked at Yuan Qi who was standing on the field, and for a moment they were at a loss.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and welcome Chief Yuan Qi!" The middle-aged man who had stood up earlier stood in front of Yuan Qi and introduced himself without hesitation. "I'm Saiya Kroll, responsible for the tribe's population, finances, and food reserves."

"Saya, you actually recognized that guy as the new chief so quickly?!" Ivan looked at Saiya in disbelief. Although Yuan Qi did not choose to let him go, as long as his subordinates were not loyal, Yuan Qi, who knew nothing about the affairs of the tribe, would only be a decoration even if he became the chief. He still had the opportunity to become the chief again, but he did not expect that Saiya would defect to Yuan Qi so quickly!

"Alas, if you had been tougher and admitted defeat with dignity, I wouldn't have been like this." Seya shook his head, looked at Ivan with disappointment, and sighed heavily.

"Ahem, so what about the former seven tribe leaders? I'm Kro Hal, and I'm in charge of festivals, arts, etc. within the tribe..." As Seya said this, another person who had been standing behind Ivan also came over.

"Former Seventh Patriarch, I am Deco Chloe..."

"The former Seventh Clan Leader! I am..."

All of a sudden, everyone rushed to Yuan Qi's side, vying to introduce themselves. Only Tian Lan was still standing next to Ivan.

Yiwen glanced at Tianlan with gratitude. "I didn't expect you to be the only one so loyal to me. Help me up! Our Yi family is the most powerful family in the Blue-Eyes White Dragon clan. Most of the duelists in the tribe are from the Yi family. When I return and lead the duelists to fight back and reclaim the position of clan leader, I will appoint you as the imperial guard and exile all of them!"

Tian Lan looked at Ivan lying on the ground and said bitterly, "If even the Blue-Eyes White Dragon lost, how can the other duelists win?"

Ivan froze in place, looking as if he had aged more than ten years. His once shiny silver hair suddenly became dull and lifeless.

The next day, the news that Yuan Qi was the new chief spread throughout the tribe.

Chapter 26: Make no mistake, this is reality.

In the White Dragon Palace, oh no, since the new patriarch took office, this palace has been renamed the Dessert Palace, and the two blue-eyes white dragons at the door have been moved to the door of the Yi family compound, and replaced with two pudding princesses carved by carving masters day and night. Even the patterns on people's chests have been changed from blue-eyes white dragons to pudding princesses, but because they are too difficult to draw, most of the patterns look a bit abstract.

Simply because of the change of leader, the entire tribe seemed to have been reshuffled and dyed with new colors. During this period, many people were dissatisfied and made trouble, but after seeing the miraculous super summoning and chocolate platter, they all stopped.

The new patriarch looks very strong, so there is nothing to worry about.

As the instigator of all this, Hara Nana himself was lying on a wooden chair in the Dessert Palace garden, enjoying being fed by the girl.

"Open your mouth, ah~"

"Ah~" Yuan Qi opened his mouth and swallowed the grapes in Ino's little hand, feeling the sweetness in his mouth and the breeze blowing from time to time, and squinted his eyes lazily like a cat.

This time, he has been in this "world" for almost a month. During this month, apart from controlling the power of the Yi family and showing up in front of the public from time to time, Yuan Qi sits on a chair every day, eating peeled fruits and appreciating the beauty of the garden, doing nothing like the tyrants in history.

At least I won't ask people to pull huge rocks for thousands of miles, nor will I build a wine pool, meat forest and leopard house.

Yuan Qi comforted himself silently.

"What are we going to do today?" Ino blinked and asked.

"Look at the ants." Yuan Qi tore off a piece of fruit peel from the plate and gently scattered it on the ground. "If you throw something like this on the ground, it will attract ants in no time."

"And scald them to death with hot water?" Ino nodded thoughtfully, "Then I'll ask someone to prepare some hot water."

"I wanted to see how the ants work together to carry the fruit peels back to their nest." Yuan Qi said silently.

"I understand. We must kill them all." Ino suddenly realized.

Yuan Qi silently picked up the peel and said, "Let's do something else."

"Is there anything else you want to do?" Ino asked.

"I haven't thought of it yet." Yuan Qi noticed Ino's words and looked at Ino and said, "Is there anything you want to do?"

"Well, there is." Ino put his hands behind his back and chuckled, "I want to take you to a place."

"Where?"

"A hillside covered with white chrysanthemums."

Just like that, Yuan Qi told everyone, took Ino's little hand, sat on the Blue-Eyes White Dragon he got from Ivan, left the Dessert Palace, and came to a hillside full of chrysanthemums.

On the hillside, there is a bluestone tablet quietly inserted in the soil, with a few crooked large characters engraved on the tablet - Tomb of Charles.

"They didn't let my mother be buried with other members of the Yi family, so I found a place like this. It's not bad, isn't it?" Ino squatted in front of the stone tablet, gently stroking the stone tablet with her slender fingers.

"Well, it's really nice here." Yuan Qi looked at the girl beside him and said softly.

"It's not really that important." Ino rubbed his eyes and chuckled, "I just wanted you to come here and let my mother see you. This year's Obon Festival has passed, so let's come again next year."

Yuan Qi opened his mouth and wanted to answer, but no words came out.

next year?

Can I really stay until that time?

Or in other words, is there really a "next year" in this world?

Does the Ino before us really exist, or is it just a reflection in the long river of history?
