"Are you ready? Then prepare for the judgment of the announcer!"

Even though it wasn't the usual round, he still said those words.

The Duel Disk will automatically determine if you have nothing that can trigger a turn in your graveyard/field/hand/banner/deck/extra deck, thus preventing your opponent from intentionally trying to annoy you and waste your time.

"My turn, draw a card. Summon [Freya, the Guide to Victory]."

Waving colorful cheerleading banners, the Norse goddess of love and beauty, fertility, war, and magic personally took to the field to cheer on her people.

Freya, the guide to victory

Race: Angel

Attribute: Light

Star rating: 1

Attack: 100

Defense: 100

"The effect of 【Freya the Victory Guide】: If you control a face-up Fairy-Type monster other than 'Freya the Victory Guide', you cannot target this card for an attack. While this card is face-up on your field, all face-up Fairy-Type monsters you control gain 400 ATK and DEF."

[Ten Thousand Hands God] Attack Power: 1400 → 1800

【Freya, the Guide to Victory】Attack Power: 100→500

[Announcer of Divine Light] Attack Power: 1800 → 2200

"【Ten Thousand Hands God】and 【Announcer of Divine Light】attack directly!"

The brilliant light engulfed everything, and Maeda was swallowed up by his own dark tools in the merciless light.

Grandpa Cao lay on the bed in the infirmary, looking utterly hopeless and exuding a strong aura of utter despair.

I can't take it anymore, I'm really going to be exhausted like this.

Serving one young lady is one thing, but then six little devils suddenly showed up, and they even specifically asked for him. My goodness.

What happened to the wonderful life that was supposed to revolve around six beautiful girls? Light novels are all lies!

Actually, they're not that difficult to please. The main problem is that these young ladies of the spirit gods are prone to conflict with each other. The pair of loli sisters, the Light Spirit God and the Dark Spirit God, haven't caused much trouble, but they're always fighting over the title of "older sister." They don't bother anyone else, and the two lolis are punching each other with their loli-style fists.

When Eunuch Cao tried to stop him, one of the punches grazed him, and now he can only stay in bed on vacation.

"Thankfully, I can still move my hand... Hmm, is there some urgent news?"

Cao Gong was idly tapping on his phone when he suddenly saw an urgent message pop up.

"Let me see... The Dark Duel Council has made its move!?"

Chapter 291 Eunuch Cao's Choice / Chang Yan's Whereabouts

Transition to this chapter

Also, I absolutely adore the new Sky Striker cards!

------

The Dark Duel Council, when it does act, makes a huge splash.

Several self-proclaimed righteous civilian organizations/families were wiped out overnight, and several duelists who could be considered renowned also disappeared without a trace, their fates predictable.

Now, through covert communications, the entire Dark Organization has split into three waves: one heading towards the Court of Judgment, one dispersing to various regions, and the other surging towards the Duel Academy.

"Holy crap, are they crazy?"

Although Eunuch Cao said this, he knew that it was all carefully planned.

The first wave of attacks targeted the Court of Judgments, hindering the judges' actions and releasing the criminals within.

The second wave spread out to launch attacks in all directions, creating chaos and preparing for other covert operations.

The third wave is to either assassinate Lin Yu or seize the legendary Three Illusionary Demon Cards.

"This is like another war is about to break out... I just want to live a peaceful life."

Cao Gonggong said, whether excited or dejected, "Isn't earning a high salary and doing simple work the ideal for most people?"

Although Eunuch Cao also thought this was a good idea, he still felt that doing this after coming into this world might be a waste or not worth it.

It's like you've been transported to a world with supernatural abilities—the kind that can be learned and aren't expensive—but you completely ignore them and continue doing your normal job...

How should I put it? It always feels like a waste.

Eunuch Cao shared this sentiment. Despite being a powerful duelist, he was only slightly famous and was Pegasus's subordinate—in short, just an employee.

He also knew that his IQ was not actually very high. He was okay at playing cards, but if he were to go into business or organize something, he would probably be exhausted.

To be honest, he was unwilling to accept it.

If you place a Dark Duelist in the middle of a log bridge, and put Lin Yu and Eunuch Cao on either side of the bridge, 95% of the Dark Duelists will run towards Eunuch Cao.

The remaining five percent are either ultimate duelists, powerful figures, people with deep-seated hatred towards Lin Yu, or complete newbies whose names they've never even heard of.

But he knew deeply that this resentment was unacceptable. Having been with the card of the evil god for so long, he knew that if his mind wavered, that terrifying evil god would surely seize the opportunity to attack.

That is a delusion that lures humanity into the abyss of self-destruction. Once someone without self-awareness does this, their end is not far off.

People must have self-awareness. Unfortunately, while that's true, few people actually listen to it...

Ha ha.

Yes, like most people, Eunuch Cao knew that was the truth, but something still lingered in his heart...

The terrifying door that loomed in his mind remained half-open.

That says it all.

"What did Bekas say?"

"Contract our forces and strengthen our defenses. Although International Fantasy Corporation is a large international company and can provide extensive logistical support, it cannot send out a large number of combat personnel."

To put it bluntly, International Fantasy is a neutral commercial company. Some of its higher-ups have ambiguous relationships with the Dark Duelists. They can provide support and send people, but it's absolutely impossible for me to actually get involved in a fight. I'm already being incredibly kind by not stabbing you in the back.

Of course, if you could resurrect Pegasus's wife, you could even get him to give you the company.

"Given your relationship with Lin Yu, Lord Pegasus has already given orders that you will lead a group of duelists to support Grand Arbiter Lin Yu. How many you can stop depends entirely on your abilities."

"That's exactly what I've been waiting for."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Cao immediately felt no pain in his back or waist, and jumped up from the sickbed, looking energetic and lively, showing no signs of his previous sickly state.

"You can take care of those little darlings. I'm just a roughneck and I really don't know how to do those things."

Just as Cao Gonggong was humming a little tune and preparing to slip away, Tianma Yexing's next words shattered his illusions.

"You'll need to speak to those spirit gods about your departure. As for whether you can leave, Lord Pegasus said it depends on your strength..."

Eunuch Cao froze on the spot.

He said it so directly, who knows what might happen...

Loli Turtle Fist xN?

Mature woman flying kick xN?

Or could we directly destroy xN elements?

Oh my god!

Having worked in such an international company for a long time, despite having systematic translation skills, Cao Gonggong still picked up some of these verbal tics.

How could my mortal body possibly withstand it!

"come on."

After offering some encouragement to Eunuch Cao, Tianma Yexing immediately cut off contact.

"What should I do...?"

After wandering around the infirmary for a long time, Eunuch Cao racked his brains but couldn't come up with a good excuse.

"Ahhh, never mind, just say it! Dragon God, please bless me!"

Seeing that continuing like this was pointless and a waste of time, Eunuch Cao steeled himself, mustered his courage, and walked toward the rooms of the powerful spirits.

..........

There was no bloodshed or strange occurrence. After learning that Eunuch Cao had a mission to complete and had to leave, they simply said a few words and then let him go without further ado.

However, before leaving, each of them bestowed their own blessing upon Eunuch Cao, and as for the effect...

Not afraid of cold or heat, has a great appetite, and is in excellent health?

However, after the black-clad loli Dark Spirit God bestowed the blessing of darkness, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she spoke to him in a calm tone, saying something profound:

"My advice is to shut it down; that doesn't belong to this world. Of course, the decision is yours."

After saying that, the black-clad loli took small, quick steps and left, leaving the silent Eunuch Cao alone.

He knew the Dark Spirit God knew what he was talking about, and he wanted to close this terrifying dark gate completely, but he found that no matter what he did, he couldn't close the gate completely.

The task description says I have a choice, but it seems I haven't actually made a choice yet...

Why not choose to turn it off?

Perhaps it was out of resentment, or perhaps out of fear...

He had asked the system and also asked Brother Dragon God, and received the same answer.

—As the one who pushes open the door, one can control what's behind it and realize one's own delusions.

World peace?

No problem, we'll take care of all the threatening guys.

World domination?

No problem, we'll take care of all the threatening guys.

As for qualifications, being able to see the door is the greatest proof.

People should have self-awareness...

But why can't I listen to that...?
