When a card game club is pulled into the Yu-Gi-Oh! world by the system

Without wasting any time on small talk, the host delivered his opening remarks and then passionately announced the start of the competition, to which the audience responded with thunderous cheers.

Who doesn't like a host who doesn't waste time with nonsense?

As is customary, the first match of the World Championship is always held separately, and the selection process is a very fair lottery using slips of paper. The entire process is open and transparent, with hundreds of challengers drawing lots one by one, and the number drawn is announced from the very beginning.

"I feel it—the will of the universe is watching me!"

When the tags were being drawn, Chang Yan muttered this sentence in a strange voice. He had a premonition that he would be one of the people selected this time!

And the opponent will definitely not be Kang Feng! Nor will it be Huang Long, whom I just met!

The numbers drawn were 77 and 66, which were close numbers, and Chang Yan had 77 in his hand.

"The match is set: the newcomer Chang Yan versus the veteran duelist Beetle Mary!"

Beetle? It should be that the Beetle has been installed, so there's no need to change the deck.

As is often said, a female European duelist with short, shoulder-length brown hair walked directly onto the arena, and after the cards were shuffled in the presence of the referee, the duel began immediately, without any other fuss.

The tournament's event designer was very astute. He knew people only wanted to see exciting, action-packed card games and passionate commentary; the longer anything else went on, the less satisfied they would be. So, with a stroke of his pen, he completely eliminated all the tedious stuff like "speeches for leaders" and "pre-battle speeches for duelists."

Are there any dissatisfied people? Of course there are, but their father is the main sponsor, so they have to accept it whether they like it or not.

"So, Duel—"

The referee lowered his arm, announcing the start of the duel.

"start!"

Commonly known LP: 8000 4

Mary LP: 8000 3

"I actually won this time, so I'll go first. It's my turn. Draw a card."

Although it was the first match that everyone was looking forward to, Chang Yan believed that it was just a test of the new deck.

"Normal Summon [Alien M-05]".

The blocky object immersed in the incubation chamber twitched slightly. Judging from its appearance alone, it did not look like a living being at all, but rather like a prop from a dark-style game.

What kind of deck is this? I've never heard of it before, and it looks...

Mary looked at the strange object and patted her head in exasperation.

The first match didn't give either side time to check each other's information or modify their decks, which seemed chaotic but was actually very popular with the audience. Originally, there were over a hundred people entering the competition, but she could only remember a few important ones. She only glanced at the Asian boy named Chang Yan and didn't pay him any attention.

I have no idea about playstyles or decks, it's a headache.

"If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can activate this effect. Add 1 "Myutant" monster from your Deck to your hand, except "Myutant M-05". Add "Exotic ST-46" to your hand."

(The decklists online haven't been fully translated yet, which is really frustrating.)

"【Monster M-05】Other effect activated: You can activate this effect by Tributing this card and banishing 1 card from your hand or face-up cards on your field. Special Summon 1 of the following monsters of the banished type from your hand or Deck."

"By banishing the card [Alien ST-46] from my hand, I Special Summon [Alien Beast] because it banished a monster."

The effect was strange but still within the realm of understanding, but the animation was a bit out of line.

The imprisoned mutant began a sudden, inexplicable mutation. Its outer layer of keratin cracked open, and its tentacles, glowing with an ominous red light, seemed to have been starving for an unknown period. It frantically used its proboscis to devour everything around it, easily swallowing and chewing gleaming metal. Its twisted, grotesque form constantly attempted to change—expanding, contracting, withering, expanding again—

Disregarding the so-called natural evolution, this grotesque creature, which denies the laws of natural evolution, grows and evolves rapidly, plundering all resources to achieve its own success. This blasphemous being has transformed into a hateful killing beast.

It was disgusting and nauseating, but the black beast that evolved from the tiny individual possessed a strange beauty—a scientific beauty in form.

Damn, as expected, my performance wasn't working properly. Is this already a passive skill...?

Watching the mutation process of the alien species, Chang Yan was speechless. He was just passive, but at least it looked cool.

"Field Spell Card [Myutant Evolution Lab] activated — As part of the effect processing when this card is activated, you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower 'Myutant' monster from your hand or banished monsters. Special Summon [Myutant ST-46]."

A cultivation chamber rose from the ground. This time, it was not cultivating the initial form of the alien species, but a prototype that had begun to undergo inexplicable mutations.

"If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can activate this effect. Add 1 'Myutant' Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand."

Add the trap card [Mutant Roar] to your hand.

Search for monsters, search for spells and traps, Special Summon the big boss of your deck, and use the Fusion Deck with banished cards as cost—that's the essence of the Abnormal.

Chapter 738 Heterogeneous Integration State

I was working the night shift yesterday, which is why the update was so late. Then, in the early hours of the morning, I suddenly got a leg cramp that woke me up in pain. It was really awful.

To be honest, I just noticed that the chat rooms were suddenly closed, which is typical of Cat's Club. But honestly, it's really frustrating not being able to see the chat rooms while reading, whether you're a reader or an author. Even just opening the chat rooms and having everyone mute would be better...

--------

"The other effect of 【Special ST-46】is activated. Similar to the effect of M-05, you can activate this effect by Tributing this card and banishing 1 card from your hand or face-up cards on your field. Special Summon 1 monster of the following type from your hand or Deck."

"Excluding the 'Discount Shopping' card from the hand, since it is a Spell Card, Special Summon 'Alien Sprayer' (Mutant Mist Form) from the Deck."

Since I don't have any 8-star monsters in my hand, this discounted purchase can only be used as a cost.

The lumpy alien species that began to split was a seed that had absorbed enough nutrients, and the deformed fleshy mass underwent an unscientific expansion.

Like a blooming flower, the cold luster of metal intertwines with flesh and blood. Unknown pollution has transformed this alien species into some kind of heterogeneous organ, manipulating the elements in the atmosphere to fill its morbid body.

Crystals and scales covered the heterogeneous flower, and flames and lightning appeared at the ends of the tentacles.

"Although the art style is weird, I surprisingly like it!"

"We already have two 8-star monsters, are they coming soon...?"

The audience was abuzz with discussion about the novel style of the monsters, after all, these two monsters looked pretty awesome.

All three Level 8 cards from the Myutant archetype have the restriction that this card can only be Special Summoned using the effect of a "Myutant" card, which suggests that the card itself is of high quality.

"The effect of the Field [Alien Evolution Lab]: Myutant monsters you control gain 100 ATK for each type of Myutant card you banish. In other words, all monsters I control gain 100 ATK. Set 1 card, and end your turn."

There was no "I'm going to get Yuma" action; as is often the case, I just set a card and ended my turn.

"Then it's my turn, draw a card."

My turn is next, looks good.

Mary calmly considered that the Beetle Mech deck was a DARK Insect-Type monster + monster equipment, and this deck was best at destroying cards.

It's not like the dinosaurs that frantically explode themselves to trigger effects, but simply means destroying the opponent's cards.

"Spell Card [Temptation of Darkness] — Draw 2 cards from your Deck, then banish 1 DARK monster from your hand. If you have no DARK monsters in your hand, send all cards in your hand to the Graveyard... banish [Beetle Machine Locust]."

After drawing two cards, Mary chose one from her initial hand to banish.

"The Spell Card 'Foolish Burial' is activated, it will—"

"At this moment, the [Alien Beast Transformation] effect activates!"

A hand holding a shovel emerged from the ground in front of the tombstone, but it was now tightly bound by several dark and strong tentacles.

"What----"

"When your opponent activates the effect of a Spell Card, you can banish 1 card from your hand or field to activate this effect. Negate that activation and banish it. Banish 'Alien Evolution Lab' from the field."

The pitch-black beast slowly stepped in front of the tombstone, its sharp teeth protruding from the core and head, mercilessly and coldly gnawing at the tombstone and the sleeping creature beneath it.

"As expected, this monster is not as simple as it looks, but now that we know its effects, it's not so scary. Normally it summons [Beetle Mechanic].

Like a warrior from a Super Sentai series, wearing beetle-like armor, hence the name Beetle Armor.

"Once per turn, during your Main Phase: You can equip 1 'Beetle Mech' monster from your hand or Graveyard as an Equip Card to this card. Equip 'Beetle Mech Bumblebee' from your hand."

Just as Mary was about to continue her work, she noticed the ground shaking.

An earthquake? No, this is—

"Activate my face-down card, Trap Card [Alien Howl] activated!"

The earth let out a heart-wrenching wail, and in the trembling shudder, the entire region was torn apart, and the colossal thing that reached the sky let out its own roar at this moment.

It was an enormous tentacle, its surface covered in scales, stirring up the heavens and ravaging the earth, venting its fury as a different species.

The unimaginable scale of it severely impacted Mary's worldview. Of course, due to her usual restraint, she only found the entrance animation very shocking, without losing any sanity.

"You can activate this effect during either your or your opponent's Main Phase. Return the Fusion Material Monsters listed on a 'Myutant' Fusion Monster Card to their Deck, from your field, Graveyard, or banished monsters; then Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck."

"Use the water-attribute [Variant M-05] from the graveyard and the earth-attribute [Variant Beast Form] from the field as fusion materials —"

Not only can it be used in graveyards, but it can also be used in banished areas, as the fusion effect is very powerful. However, the fusion materials required by the main monsters are a bit difficult to obtain.

"Call my name freely in that distant abyss!"

As the seemingly nonsensical incantation was uttered, the tentacles that had been wreaking havoc on heaven and earth underwent their final distortion.

Gem-like organs replaced the pupils on the writhing, swollen tentacles, their twisted, nauseating posture resembling a waterlogged sea anemone, wildly splitting and growing.

"Fusion Summoning - [Heterogeneous Integration State] (Mutant Synthesis State)."

Star rating: 9

Attribute: Water

Race: Telekinesis

Attack: 2500

Defense: 2000

The outstretched tentacles hovered in mid-air before Mary, bypassing the monster. Inside the ruby-like organs at their ends were circular shadows, and Mary could clearly feel a chilling gaze fixed on her.

Damn it, is the person who designed this deck out of their mind? How did such disgusting and creepy special effects pass the review?

Even she, who prided herself on being a tough woman, was quite frightened. As a well-known veteran duelist, she had never really seen anything like this before.

"If this card is successfully Fusion Summoned, you can target 1 card on the field; destroy that card. Destroy [Beetle Machine Maiden]."

The damselfly, who had just summoned her companions as equipment, was instantly strangled by the thick tentacles, dying a gruesome death.

Chapter 739 Beetle Assembly

I need a breakout thread! Without breakout threads, wouldn't my rants just be self-entertaining?

Besides, I read books too, and I'm really unhappy without the witty comments from netizens.

----------

It was a terrifying thing, like something from the depths of a nightmare, the most wicked creation of the Creator, a savage and chaotic mutant, yet it was created by people using other things with rigorous and cold science, solely for someone's selfish desires—or rather, a sudden whim.

The Damselfly that was just Normal Summoned was instantly killed, causing some concern among viewers familiar with Beetle Mary. Beetle Mechanic doesn't rely heavily on Special Summoning cards and is very dependent on Normal Summoning; losing this card makes setting up much more difficult.
