Want to play cards? I'll use my King's Deck!

"I've already used the effects of 'Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon' and 'Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon,' and my Spell/Trap Cards have been destroyed. You can no longer stop me. Destroy everything and bring me victory, 'Crimson Dragon Tyrant'! [Absolute Authority Inferno]!!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

The crimson flames, fueled by the roar of the demonic dragon, ravaged the battlefield, paving the way for the girl's victory.

……

When Izayoi Yuki turned the tide with "Crimson Dragon Tyrant" and Yuki's "Twin Sky Knight" opened a path of hope for him with the light of the Star Sword, the outcome of the Xyz Temple had already been decided much earlier.

"It's over! Activate the effect of 'Rank-Up Spell - Sword of the Seven Emperors' from my hand!"

Hyoumi's voice rang out coldly as she deftly placed a card into the Duel Disk: "Special Summon 1 Xyz Monster of 'Number 101-107' from the Extra Deck or Graveyard, then Rank Up and Xyz Summon a 'Chaos Number' of the same rank above it! Appear, appear, Cno. 101! Guardian of unsatisfied souls, become the Dark Knight and shatter the light! 'Chaos Number 101 Silent Honor Dark Knight'!!"

"Chaos No. 101 Silent Honor Dark Knight, Rank 5/Water/Water/Xyz/Animation" "ATK: 2800/DEF: 1500"

"Wow!"

The waves surged, and the ghost ship-like monster that had appeared before reappeared, transforming itself. It transformed from a ship into a human form, holding a long, slender spear, within which resided the power of the abyss.

Looking at this incredibly cool Water-type Xyz Monster, Hoshino Mai's eyes lit up with surprise: "What a cool monster! I didn't know that Himi-senpai could do something like this. This kind of Xyz upgrade technique is very difficult."

"What a joke! If I didn't know how, why would Kaiba Sōjin have invited me here?"

Bingjian Ya didn't really want to waste time talking to Xingye Wu. During the duel, he had already unknowingly extracted a lot of information from her. However, a certain feeling in his heart made him unable to bear becoming a bloodless and heartless dueling machine.

But that’s as far as it goes.

Bingjianya had no intention of delaying any longer; he had already wasted enough time and should have removed the seal on the Temple of Excess long ago.

"Let's settle this with this move! Activate the effect of 'CNo. 101 Silent Honor Dark Knight'! Once per turn, target 1 monster your opponent controls; add that monster under this card as Xyz Material. I choose your 'Fairy Dragon Ancient Fairy,' don't think you can dodge it with its high defense anymore. [Dark Soul Wanderer]!"

The Silent Dark Knight brandished its spear, and the tide rushed toward the Fairy Dragon Ancient Fairy, using the pressure of the deep sea to turn it into a sphere that adhered to the Silent Dark Knight's side.

"Then I'll use the 'Silent Dark Knight' to attack you directly!"

"what……"

【Star Leaf Dance 4200→1400】

After losing "Fairy Dragon Ancient Fairy", Mai Hoshino had no monsters left on her field and could only withstand the attack of "Silent Dark Knight" with her own body.

Of course, that's not all. The attack power of "Silent Dark Knight" is not enough to defeat Hoshino Mai, and there are no other monsters in Himi-ga field that can launch an attack.

But since Bingjianya has already said those words, how could he stop there?

"Activate the Trap Card: 'Destruction Healing'! Destroy 1 monster you control; restore that monster's ATK as Life Points. Destroy 'Silent Honor Knight'; restore 2800 LP."

As soon as Himi Ya finished speaking, the "Silent Honor Knight" shattered, and the abundant vitality allowed his LP to recover to over 6000.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of the tide rose again.

"At this moment, the effect of 'Chaos No. 101 Silent Honor Knight' activates! If this card, which contains Xyz Material, is destroyed, Special Summon this card and restore its Life Points equal to its ATK. [Return of Hell]!"

Unlike OCG, the "C101" revived by Hikari's effect has no attack restrictions. As long as it is used to finish off Hoshino Mai, it can be defeated.

But this is exactly what Xingyewu is aiming for.

"It's now!"

Suddenly, Xingye Wu spoke up and pressed a button, revealing her own face-down card: "Trap Card: Where Will the Rescue Girl Go?" activated!

Chapter 310 Light-Speed ​​Surrender and the Arrival of Amagi Naruto

"Where Did the Resurrection Girl Go (Normal Trap): You can activate this effect by paying 800 Life Points. Select 1 'Resurrection Girl' monster from your Deck, then select 1 'Resurrection Girl' monster from your Deck whose card name is listed on that monster. Special Summon those 2 monsters. Monsters Special Summoned by this effect return to their owners' Deck during the End Phase. After this card is activated, you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck that are not 'Resurrection Girl' monsters until the end of this turn."

—"Salvation Girl", this is the deck that Hoshino Mai used when she was in the Church of Angels.

The monsters in this deck are all depicted as nuns, and their dark female uniforms give off a serious, military feel.

This is to be expected.

After all, the backstory of "The Exorcist Girl" is about a devout nun who takes up arms and shoulders the great task of exorcising demons with her frail yet compassionate shoulders. Xingye Mai had a good relationship with this series when she was in the Angel Church, but she returned it to its rightful owner after withdrawing from the selection of the saintess.

Until Alicia used her saintly powers to retrieve it from the inventory again.

The reason why Star Leaf Dance would activate this trap card at this time is certainly not just to defend against attacks.

"Pay 800 Life Points to Special Summon 'Ailise Girl Alice' and 'Ailise Girl Stella' from your Deck!"

"Alice the Rescue Girl, Level 4/DEF: 800"

"Savior Stella the Girl, Level 4/DEF: 800"

As Xingyewu's base score dropped again, from 1400 to 600, two beams of light rose in front of her.

In the light, there were nuns in black uniforms, one looking gentle and serene in the sunlight, the other quiet and silent. The two girls stood together, the fragrance of lilies filling the air.

Then, the chaotic "No. 101" emerged from the water, a knight from the abyss.

The moment she saw the "Silent Honor Dark Knight" resurrected, Xingyewu snapped her fingers lightly.

"Now, it's time for the real show! Activate the effects of 'Alice' and 'Stella'; if any cards in your or your opponent's Graveyard leave the Graveyard because of your opponent, you can Xyz Summon 1 'Salvation Girl' Xyz Monster over this card!"

This is why Xingyewu wanted to follow up the chain and activate a trap card after "Silent Honor Dark Knight," because only in this way could she fully unleash the power of the "Salvation Maidens."

The "Salvation Girl" Xyz Monster, which uses "Salvation Girl" as its material, can use its hidden effect on the turn it is successfully Xyz Summoned. Starting with this Trap Card, Hoshino Mai plans to launch a desperate counterattack against Ice Fang.

But Hiyomi didn't intend to give Hoshino Mai that chance.

Trap Card: Torrent Tribute!

With a gentle tap of the button on the Duel Disk, a face-down card was flipped up by Himi-ga: "This can only be activated when a monster is Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned. Destroy all monster cards on the field."

The trap card version is still the "Black Hole" type of summoning reaction trap.

"No way! You've already proven me wrong so quickly?"

A cataclysmic flood erupted from the trap card, instantly engulfing the battlefield. The two exorcist nuns, who were about to transform, were unable to escape and were swept away by the flood.

Xingye Wu stared in disbelief at the scene, while opposite her, the "Silent Honor Dark Knight" stood unharmed on the water's surface.

"Ban 'Sea Dragon's Frenzy' from the Graveyard and destroy it instead of a Water-type monster's effect."

Bing Jianya said coldly, "Now you're out of options, aren't you? 'Silent Honor Dark Knight' launches a direct attack on the player! [Abyssal Tide]!"

Spin the spear, the power of the sea gathers at its tip, and as the "Silent Honor Dark Knight" is thrown, it bursts forth in a surprise attack on the blonde girl.

Xingyewu remained calm and composed, using the card beneath her feet to deflect the attack that was enough to defeat her.

"Then activate the Trap Card: Graveyard Grudge!"

[Graveyard Grudge (Normal Trap): Can only be activated if your opponent has 8 or more cards in their Graveyard. All monsters your opponent controls have their ATK reduced to 0.]

By now, both sides had far more than eight cards left in their graveyards. The ghosts surging from the graveyards formed barriers and curses, turning the attack of "Silent Honor Dark Knight" into a minor skirmish.

"Do you still keep these kinds of card-covering ones?"

Bingjian frowned sharply.

I originally wanted to finish off Xingyewu in this round, but I failed.

"Actually, I would rather keep it, but I'm about to die, so I can't just not use it."

Xingye Wu shrugged innocently.

"However, once your attack power drops to 0, Himi-senpai's attacks will stop here, right? Or do you have a way to summon a new monster?"

"...Set one card face down, end the turn."

Of course, Himi-ga couldn't pull out such a monster.

If he had one, he would have summoned it to finish off the enemies already, instead of having to use "Destructive Healing". Therefore, despite being very unhappy, Hijiri had no choice but to end his turn.

"But right now, you're just struggling in your death throes."

Himegi said coldly, "Both our LP and field resources are almost exhausted, and we don't have many cards left in our hand. We're practically at our wits' end. Is it really necessary to continue?"

"Hoo hoo, that's hard to say." Xing Yewu smiled lightly and relaxed: "If the boy I know were here, he would definitely say this: 'Never give up until the very last moment of the duel.'"

"Well, although I'm not that obsessed with winning the duel, beating you here would definitely benefit Nozomi and the others. Even if that's not possible, we can stall for time as much as possible. Then Nozomi can come and deal with you."

"How naive and foolish to place your hopes on others."

Bingjian Ya scoffed at Xingye Wu's idea.

He had given up on that idea many years ago. Relying on others would only lead to disappointment time and time again; only he himself could be his most reliable helper.

"It's never a bad thing to have someone to rely on, Himi-senpai. The reason this society exists is because people need to help each other. Besides, I'm a girl, so I can't be as strong-willed as you boys—but whether I lose or not, we'll have to wait until I draw this card to see."

"My turn, draw a card!"

Xingyewu touched the top of the deck with her fingertips and pulled it out with a light movement. A golden light flashed, and a unique Feel wave emanated from it.

"That is……!"

Bingjianya was stunned for a moment, and felt a sense of familiarity from that Feel fluctuation - no, it can't be said to be familiar, this is clearly the card he just used!

"Oh, here they come."

Hoshino's cheerful voice rang out: "Hyoumi-senpai, you've shown me CNo. 101, so it's my turn next—the card I drew is: 'Rank-Up Magic - Seven Emperors' Sword'!"

"This card, revealed at the start of Main Phase 1, Special Summon 1 "Number" monster with a number of 100 or higher from the Extra GY and Chaos it."

Xingyewu inserted the drawn card into the Spell & Trap Card slot, and seven stars appeared in the sky.

The stars are connected by lines, resembling a gleaming sword.

Under the sword's gleam, a number appeared.

"The infinite power that can freeze even time has now been awakened! [CNo.103 God's Burial Zero Musume]!"

"CNo.103 God's Burial Zero Musume, Rank 5/Water/Angel/Overpower" "ATK: 2800/DEF: 2400"

Holding crescent-shaped dark red scythes in both hands, and spreading her black wings, a bewitching yet dangerous mature woman emerged from the nebula vortex, displaying a slightly dark, divine beauty.

And the impact it had on Bingjianya was even greater.

"It's No. 103...!?"

Himi Kiba stared intently at the monster card summoned by Hoshino Mai, his expression filled with shock.

He never expected that the Star Leaf Ball would summon "No. 103". A No. 103 is not something that just anyone can use.

If I had known earlier, I should have looked into more information about the Star Cup.

However, if that's the case, could it be that...
