Chapter 51 Requiem for the Golden Country (The End)
The defender rose from the Tyrant's Dragon Head and leaped down in front of Xing Liang.
He raised his hand, and in a flash of lightning, a card appeared in his palm.
Staring intently at the card, Xing Liang felt his breath catch in his throat. Even though he hadn't seen the card image yet, he already felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
It was as if that card had always belonged to him.
Staring blankly as the defender handed him the card, he took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Xing Liang did not take the card offered by the defender, but instead began to observe the world behind the door with great interest.
He felt as if he were in the cosmos, with a dazzling array of stars in the distance, a vast galaxy beneath his feet, and a white metal door floating abruptly behind him.
There were no other living beings around here besides them.
"So, what's the price?"
As Xing Liang looked around, he suddenly asked a question. The defender held up the card and stared at him silently, without making any comment.
It's as if to say: You know perfectly well, don't you?
-----------------
In a duel, if no action is taken for more than 3 minutes, it is considered a surrender.
10 seconds.
Huang Jinqing silently closed his eyes and crossed his arms for a few seconds.
30 seconds.
The Chaos Dragon quietly opened one eye, observing the situation.
60 seconds.
Huang Jinqing tapped his left arm armor with his right index finger, gradually increasing the rhythm.
90 seconds.
The sound of knocking, a faint heartbeat, heavy breathing…
111 seconds.
With a violent cough, Xing Liang struggled to get up from the ground, and Huang Jinqing stopped tapping his index finger.
The cards scattered on the ground were reassembled into a deck under the influence of telekinesis, shuffled, and returned to the Duel Disk.
Xing Liang wiped away the blood he had just coughed up from the corner of his mouth and revealed the illusion of the cemetery 180 seconds before the timer expired.
"The second effect of the Hybrid Dinosaur of Phantom Creation: banish yourself and two of the [Dinosaur of the Origin - Jostanberg Invisible Wing] and [Dinosaur of the Origin - Therizinosaur] from your Graveyard, and Special Summon a Level 4 Dinosaur-Type monster [Dinosaur of the Origin - Brachiosaurus] from your Deck."
His pupils, which had become cloudy and black due to pain, turned into a clear green at this moment.
"Lianglong's effect: Send [Dreadnought Dragon - Alert] from your deck to the graveyard, and if my Life Points are below 2000, inflict 500 effect damage on you."
Liang Long glanced briefly at the halo beneath Huang Jinqing's feet with his emerald green eyes before punching Huang Jinqing in the chest without hesitation.
Huang Jinqing LP4000→3500
Huang Jinqing took two steps back slightly.
This is no longer within the scope of the script.
Arcs of electricity crackled around Xing Liang's body, gradually repairing his broken form.
"Stack Lianglong and Defender together to Xyz Summon Rank 4, [No. 60 Dugares of the Unknown]!"
Huang Jinqing gripped the Heavenly Prison King tightly in his hand.
Not 11…
"Dugares effect: Remove two Xyz Materials to activate. At the cost of skipping my next Draw Phase, draw two cards from my Deck, then discard one card."
Huang Jinqing narrowed his eyes slightly, skipping the card-drawing stage meant that he…
There's no need for another gacha phase.
Xing Liang glanced at the cards and, without hesitation, tossed one of them into the cemetery.
Seeing the card that Xing Liang had discarded, Huang Jinqing finally felt relieved and burst into laughter.
【Twin Star Gods - A.Vida】
Are you finally awake?
-----------------
"Right below our plane is the headquarters of the deceased; you can see the patterns of magic cards engraved on the nearby stone pillars..."
On the helicopter, a female reporter wearing a bulletproof helmet was giving a lively explanation to the camera.
Judging from the female reporter's trembling voice, she was terrified, but she was trying her best to suppress the urge to run away in order to complete her work.
It has to be said, they are truly dedicated.
"Hooray!"
A dragon's roar interrupted her explanation.
"What happened? What happened?"
The helicopter pilot was momentarily distracted by the dragon's roar, and the out-of-control helicopter plummeted straight down.
Fortunately, the pilot reacted quickly and stabilized the helicopter after a period of shaking, preventing a fatal crash.
"Elbow! Elbow it now!"
The female reporter, who nearly fell out of the helicopter, slurred her words and hurriedly closed the helicopter door.
The helicopter flew away as if fleeing, leaving behind the collapsing golden palace.
-----------------
Xing Liang revealed his last card.
"This card cannot be Normal Summoned, but can be Special Summoned by banishing 3 monsters of different types from your Graveyard and face-up monsters on your field."
Its emerald green eyes lit up, and an invisible wave of mental energy spread outwards.
"I banish the Fiend-Type monster Dugares from my field, the Psychic-Type monster Defender from my graveyard, and the Dinosaur-Type monster Brachiosaurus from my hand, and Special Summon Level 11, [Great Star Ultimate Dragon]!"
"Hooray!"
As the dragon flapped its wings, amidst flashes of lightning and thunder, the palace walls gradually cracked and collapsed.
Despite being an invincible and raging dragon, it submitted to a tiny human and willingly used its body to protect Xing Liang from the damage caused by the collapsing building.
"Hahaha! I see, I see! You chose a different path!"
Huang Jinqing waved his hand, and several spiraling golden pillars rose up, temporarily supporting the shaky ceiling.
"The second effect of Ultimate Dragon: Declare a monster type to activate. Destroy all monsters of the declared type on the field. Until the end of the next turn, neither player can Special Summon monsters of the declared type."
Xing Liang pointed to the super beast on Huang Jinqing's field.
"I hereby declare that the race of your Super Beast on the field is... the Phantom Dragon race!"
"Ho!"
The ultimate dragon charged up and unleashed a verbal attack directly at the super beast.
"Super Beast Effect: If this card, which was Xyz Summoned, is destroyed, you can activate this effect to destroy the Ultimate Dragon on your field!"
"Ow!"
The super beast, which was about to be destroyed by the attack, tried to fight back, but the energy ball it condensed had no effect on the ultimate dragon.
"Useless, useless, useless! The ultimate dragon's effect 1: this card on the field cannot be destroyed by card effects!"
"Oh!"
The super beast was blown to pieces.
With everything settled, Huang Jinqing lost his last shield on the field.
"...During the battle, the ultimate dragon and the Tyrannosaurus Rex will attack directly."
After exchanging a silent glance with Huang Jinqing, Xing Liang waved his hand to initiate the battle.
Facing the two energy attacks coming at him, Huang Jinqing opened his arms.
"Finally, it's over."
Huang Jinqing LP3500→0
The duel is over.
As the monster on the field disappeared, Xing Liang's pupils returned to normal. His body swayed a few times, but he ultimately couldn't hold on and fainted again.
The surrounding spiral golden pillars broke, and the ceiling collapsed.
Just as they were about to be buried in the ruins, a sigh rang out.
A halo of purple and gold appeared.
