Chapter 43 Requiem for the Golden Country (2)
In that protracted and brutal war, countless elves were buried in the human realm. The remnants of those elves' souls, worn down, corrupted, and entangled, gave rise to vengeful spirits.
Vengeful spirits can possess living beings; in ancient times they were called demons. Later, it was discovered that vengeful spirits can also resonate with humans and possess strong obsessions, so they were renamed—
The deceased.
In the magnificent palace hall, a somewhat lonely figure reclines on the throne raised by the golden puppet.
【Eternally Glorious Golden Country】
"Is this your choice?"
Beneath the throne, a petite figure suddenly stood there. She looked up and asked a question, but her purple-gold eyes were looking behind the throne.
"Time is running out..."
An aged voice echoed in the hall, carrying a strong sense of twilight.
Even you...sigh.
Her petite figure disappeared, leaving behind a sigh.
Silence returned, leaving only the lonely figure on the throne, waiting quietly.
Outside the palace, giant stone pillars slowly rise from the ground.
The Cursed Golden Kingdom
-----------------
"This is tricky..."
Xing Liang looked at the news on his phone and felt a toothache.
Not long after they left the human realm, a riot of the dead broke out at the former site of the Kingdom of Ashsk. Someone, resonating with the vengeful spirits, became one of the dead, guiding a large number of vengeful spirits to possess humans. Now, the former site of Ashsk and the surrounding area have been occupied by the dead.
The dazzling golden hue reflected in the sunlight revealed the origin of the culprit.
[Golden Minister - Lich of the Golden Kingdom]
Under his command, the army of the dead and vengeful spirits continued to expand into the surrounding areas, with new dead constantly being born, and some countries were already destroyed as a result.
Ironically, the first to be destroyed were the northern kingdoms that had previously invaded Ashsk.
Now, the army of the dead is crossing the desert and heading towards the Kingdom of Inmotor, with the border city of Orses bearing the brunt.
The old pastor asked Xing Liang to help them defend the city before the royal army arrived.
There are very few official card masters in the entire city.
Xing Liang prefers to take the initiative rather than passively defend himself.
Xing Liang from the Golden Kingdom is quite clear about the common tactics of red pit decks, similar to those of the Fearful Peptide deck, which use various sticker traps to prevent the opponent from launching an attack.
Sticker Guo Xingliang is not afraid at all, just kidding. Feather Broom, Lightning Storm, Red Reboot, there's bound to be one that suits you.
However, as he watched the playback of the past few days, his heart grew heavier and heavier.
In the past few days, many people have realized that to catch the thief, you must first catch the king, so they have challenged Huang Jinqing to a duel and even broadcast the duel live online.
"I activate the Spell Card [Great Storm]! Destroy all Spell and Trap Cards on the field!"
"That won't do. Chain-activate the Continuous Trap Card [Royal Decree]. As long as this card is in the Spell & Trap Zone, the effects of all Spell Cards on the field are negated."
"what?!"
Despite the fact that the Royal Decree is restricted by the tenth-rank [Balance] and is therefore unusable (i.e., a forbidden card), the Golden Lord can activate it with ease.
In the subsequent duel, he activated a series of forbidden cards.
Suppression within the Royal Palace
[Void Space]
A bitter choice
……
Due to the "Balance" restriction, which limits the use of only one "Skill Draw" card, he used a second one in a duel.
Xing Liang reasonably suspects that this Huang Jinqing can ignore the constraints of [Balance] and use all cards without any restrictions.
I'm reporting someone! Someone's cheating!
On his phone, he was watching footage taken by a drone earlier. A magnificent palace, entirely made of gold, rose from the ruins of the Ashskaya site. Countless gold-inlaid stone pillars surrounded the palace, each engraved with a different card image.
[Mental Extraction]
The Iron Walls of the Royal Palace
Court Rules
……
These stone pillars are constantly radiating energy, indicating that the cards engraved on them are indeed activated, directly preventing the possibility of external activation of magic cards to destroy the palace. Many of the stone pillars even have card back patterns, suggesting that they are face-down trap cards.
This is bullshit.
He abandoned the idea of going directly to the Ashsk site to duel with Huang Jinqing.
Although Xing Liang has the Red Reboot, he is subject to the [Balance] restriction, meaning he can only be included in the deck once; if you don't draw him, he's useless.
Let the people of this world solve the disasters that occur in this world.
Since the construction of the city wall's defensive fortifications didn't require his help yet, he began studying Huang Jinqing's dueling style in the video, trying to find his weaknesses.
"My turn! I activate the Normal Spell Card 'Scrap Zone' and add the Tuner Monster 'Scrap Dragon' from my Deck to my hand!"
One challenger was lucky enough to get the right to choose the order of attack and eagerly chose to go first.
"Activate the Field Spell Card [Scrap Factory]. Its first effect increases the ATK and DEF of any 'Scrap' monsters on the field by 200. Normal Summon [Scrap Dragon], activate its first effect to destroy itself, and gain an additional Normal Summon opportunity for a 'Scrap' monster. Then, when it is destroyed by a 'Scrap' card effect and sent to the Graveyard, activate its second effect! I add the 'Scrap' monster [Scrap Chimera] from my Deck to my hand!"
"Next is the second effect of the Field Spell Card! When a face-up 'Scrap' monster on the field is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon 1 'Scrap' monster from my Deck. I choose to Special Summon 'Scrap Golem' and activate its effect to Special Summon my Level 4 Scrap Dragon from my Graveyard to my field!"
"I've upgraded the Scrap Dragon and Scrap Golem to level 9 and Synchro Summoned the [Scrap Twin Dragons]!"
"I gained a second Normal Summon opportunity for a 'Scrap' monster due to the effect of the Dragon Thief. I Normal Summon 'Scrap Chimera', activate its effect to Special Summon Scrap Dragon from my Graveyard, Level Thief Dragon and Chimera, Synchro Summon Level 8 'Scrap Dragon'!"
"I'll set three more cards face down, then declare the end of my turn."
Front row: Scrap Iron Dragon ATK3000, Scrap Iron Twin Dragon ATK3200 (effective in Scrap Iron Factory)
Three cards in the back row, 0 cards in hand, Location: Scrap Metal Factory
A delicate ending.
It's not that card players in this world can't add other cards to their decks, it's just that they are rare and difficult to obtain.
Basically, every card player obtains other cards through the Resonance Spirit. In other words, the only cards that can be obtained are those belonging to the same family as the Resonance Spirit. To obtain other cards, you can only trade with other card players or buy them from card shops.
But no idiot would sell the end cards of their deck; even if they did, they would put them up for auction at a high price.
In his recent Scrap Monster play, the Scrap Monsters he used had no restrictions on Synchro Summoning Scrap Monsters. If he had an external card, he could have easily synchro-2 Scrap Wyvern and then summon a two-counter Scyther or some other monster with counter-counter capabilities, instead of having two almost vanilla monsters on the field.
However, after he finished his entire routine, the opponent, Huang Jinqing, did not make any moves, suggesting that Huang Jinqing probably did not have any hand traps.
"My turn, draw a card."
The Golden Lord reclined on his throne, never once glancing at the challenger, and casually drew a card from his deck.
"Entering the battle phase, after which the battle phase ends and the second main phase begins, I activate [Battle of the Titans]."
