People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 1062 The Death Star is Shining
"This ritual is aimed at the Crimson Demon King."

"This one is not weak among the many demon gods."

"Given the security level of this God of War Ruins, under normal circumstances, such an evil person should not be here."

"Things are not simple."

At this moment, outside the ritual of the Dark Duel, a white-haired woman, dressed in armor and holding a spear, walked step by step toward the core of the ritual.

The inside of the ritual was a nearly real mountain and river, while the outside was just a complex pattern with a diameter of more than 300 meters.

She is Gu Xi, the dean of students at Li Qi's school, and a level 5 card master.

Outside the ceremony, a large number of people, all of whom were teachers from the school, gathered at this time.

However, the strongest of these people is only level three. Now that the ritual is underway, they have no ability to disrupt it. Entering would only cause trouble.

As for her current form, it is the armed mode of her destiny card.

After becoming a Level 1 Card Master, you will have a signature card, an entire deck, and all monster cards will have some of their attributes added to your signature card. All special cards will also have some of their effects added to your signature card.

This effect, however, cannot be as absolute as it is in a duel.

Just like the attribute doubling effect of the Overclocked Swordsman, this effect has no upper limit in a duel.

If you are invincible by fate, you can start by spinning your hand for a few rounds and collect ten special cards, all of which will be face-down. Your attack and defense can be increased by more than a thousand times. And that's not even the limit. In some high-level card players, you can draw extra cards and draw additional special cards, which can further double your attack and defense.

The Overclock Swordsman's level is only one star.

Such a thing could not happen outside of a duel.

Duels are special; they are the strongest form of Heavenly Ritual. Outside of rituals, any absolute conceptual effect, even the worst quality, starts at the Legendary level.

In this world's system, after the Nine Stars comes the Legend, and after the Legend comes the Myth, which is the realm of gods, the ascension to godhood.

"It will take me at least two hours to break the ritual. I hope the children inside can hold on a little longer and minimize casualties..."

"The emergence of these evil individuals is absolutely man-made; they are pawns used by certain people to strike at their enemies..."

"It seems the chief executive officer of Qingcheng is about to be replaced..."

Gu Xi was clear-headed and perceptive; she had already realized that this matter was actually a glimpse into the complex internal struggles within the entire Human Federation.

Where there are people, there is conflict; even the emperor cannot avoid this.

The worst and darkest thing in this world is actually the human heart.

She was only a level 5 card master, which was not bad for an ordinary person, but in this kind of struggle, there was very little she could do.

However, just as her emotions were fluctuating, she was shocked to discover that the entire ritual was beginning to shake and sway, and the whole ritual had become unstable.

She could never have known that this was because the evil followers inside had wavered.

Ritual is a manifestation of the laws of nature, just like drawing cards. Drawing cards is a ritual, and the more confident you are, the easier it is to draw the card you want. Similarly, as the initiator of the ritual, the more convinced the evil person is that he can win, the more stable the ritual becomes.

Conversely, if he wavers, the entire ritual will also waver.

The wicked man was not a weak-willed person. As a madman, he had no shortage of confidence. However, when faced with someone who could give him whatever he wanted right in front of him, or even just print cards out of thin air, he inevitably wavered.

“He printed cards. Ah Yu definitely printed cards on the spot. Although these cards are all from the textbooks, they are too targeted…” Ivy muttered to herself at the mountaintop.

"Perhaps this is the basic quality of the legendary strongest duelist; everything is inevitable."

"It seems the crisis has unleashed Ayu's potential, bringing out his innate dueling talent!"

"I think I'm witnessing the rise of a dueling god!"

At this moment, Han Xiuming's gaze had transformed from shock, confusion, and disbelief into a kind of fanaticism.

He had experienced such a scene before, though it was in a dream.

In just a short time, Li Qi had already gone through five rounds with the evil disciple. The second-tier card master was naturally quite skilled, with a deck capped at three-star cards, which was much stronger than one-star cards.

Li Qi's Overclocked Swordsman has explosive attribute stacking, but it only has attributes and no other mechanisms, making it easy to be countered.

If his opponent is also a half-tier card master, that's fine. The higher the card master's tier, the stronger the deck's mechanics will be.

It could even be said that any card player who has mastered the legendary rank has a deck with a mechanic-driven, even bug-like, structure.

After all, in real card games, there's no official ban on overpowered cards.

Countless cards, bizarre combinations, and if it weren't for the hidden priority system, some seemingly trash card combinations could still be used to kill gods.

Unfortunately, God's deck has too high a priority, and effects that are not high enough will be ignored and nullified.

In the second round, the villain banished Li Qi's Overclocked Swordsman, but also activated two of Li Qi's face-down effect cards.

One card's effect is to reduce the opponent's armor by 800 when the opponent activates an effect, and the other card's effect is to reduce the opponent's armor by 800 when a monster on your field leaves the field.

With both effects activated, the villain's armor value was halved, leaving him with only 2,000 points, making his situation increasingly precarious.

However, at this point, the evil sect members managed to regain their rhythm and stabilize in the following rounds. Their armor did not continue to decrease but instead recovered to 2,800 points. On the contrary, Li Qi's armor was reduced by 2,400 points.

This is the advantage brought by the strength of the deck. Even if Li Qi is now deeply compatible with Miracle and can be called the strongest duelist, with his wishes fulfilled and Miracle blooming because of him, he still cannot achieve a flawless performance.

However, in Li Qi's view, this was just a simple miracle and not strong enough. If it were a truly great miracle, then it would be omnipotent.

Small miracles do have their limits.

The wind howled, the engine roared, and in the dim world, the villain clearly had the upper hand compared to the beginning, but in fact, he felt no joy at all, and was even more panicked.

Li Qi's shadow loomed over him, growing ever larger, to the point that he felt he was suffocating.

Those confident draws of cards seemed to be robbing him of his fate and pushing him into the abyss of destruction.

Clearly, no matter how you look at it, he is the stronger one. The ritual protects him, and the strength of each of his cards is also higher.

"You're hesitating; you've started to doubt your own cards."

"See that? Your death star is shining!"

"Next, you will die!"
