Chapter 510

When people get to know each other and become friends, they will influence and grow with each other.

Seeing Ke Luo and Shinji had known each other since they were very young. He was the first "kid from outside" he knew besides Yusei and Jack. Because both of their decks were called "BF," they got along very well quickly.

As people from the bottom, both loved dueling, and their duels were very detailed, so they often exchanged, learned from each other, and grew together.

The fork in their life paths might be that when Seeing Ke Luo was busy dueling with Kiryu, Yusei, and Jack in the lower city and dueling gangs, looking for the meaning of his life, Shinji chose to strive to become a professional duelist and then challenge the duelists of the upper city.

However, because he wasn't strong enough at that time, he lost to a duelist from the upper city, and was evaluated by the upper-class duelist who defeated him with rare, powerful cards: "The cards are too trashy, not worthy of dueling at all."

The thing a duelist cannot accept most is having their cards insulted!

He could not accept this sentence no matter what!

Shinji, who was already troubled by the huge gap in living standards between the upper and lower levels and was extremely dissatisfied with the upper city, had been hostile to the upper city from the bottom of his heart ever since.

He couldn't stand that people in the upper city could enjoy and squander cards at will, while children on his side could only rummage through trash to survive.

He couldn't accept that the upper city could live a leisurely life, while they in the lower city didn't even know where the future was.

He couldn't accept that his beloved cards were no different from trash in the eyes of people in the upper city.

His future might have been decided at that moment.

A break in a relationship can often be caused by a short separation.

Even friends who grew up together might have long since "not recognized" each other when they look back. Because their respective aspirations, character, and technology were enough to trust each other, plus the friendship accumulated over the years, they thought the other party was still the familiar person in their impression, with the same interests and the same philosophy, so they often stayed together and spent time together.

But as time passed, they gradually discovered that they had more and more differences in life and dueling, more and more disagreements in details, and more and more small conflicts, which arose as a result.

One day, a relationship that was not so harmonious would completely develop cracks and explode with contradictions.

And at that time, they would ask the same question—why couldn't the other party understand them? Why did the other party change?

Perhaps, they never changed.

It was not them who changed.

But no matter what—

The duel had reached this point!

"I activate the Spell card, Spell Removal! Destroy your Bee Force Wind!" Seeing Ke Luo thought for a while and still activated this card to reduce the number of cards Shinji could search for next turn.

"Then, set one card, end turn!"

"My turn, draw—"

Shinji drew a card.

"Seeing Ke Luo, I have always regarded you as my best friend."

"I regard everyone as my friend!"

"No matter what, I want to defeat you, I want to lead our people, resist the upper class, and let everyone live a better life, even if I die, I don't care—" He held up his left hand, "Come on, take my life, no matter who it is!"

He shouted crazily: "You are angry too, aren't you? You are dissatisfied too, aren't you? As the 【God】 of the lowest level, as the 【God】 who has suffered so much!

Take all my soul, as long as I can resist, nothing matters!!"

His eyes flashed with scarlet light, and the shadow of a monster that appeared extremely short and powerless compared to other Earthbound Immortals emerged behind his D-Wheel.

"Let's go, Seeing Ke Luo!"

"Activate the effect of Sting the Poison Spear!"

He shouted.

Another deployment.

"Here it comes again, that monster!"

Serena looked at him in surprise, somewhat uncomprehending, but at Seeing Ke Luo's request, she nodded.

A group of police officers watched in surprise.

That's right—

Once again.

Bee Force is such a deck, resisting one after another for the final victory.

A moment later, two Synchro monsters appeared on his field again.

Bee Force - Hama the Conquering Bow, Level 6, Wind Attribute, Insect-type, ATK 2400, Synchro Tuner.

Bee Force - Halberd the Charge, Level 6, Wind Attribute, Insect-type, ATK 2500.

"Seeing Ke Luo, your Black-Winged Dragon and Zephyros the Elite on the field are both in Attack Position. As long as the attack passes, I win!"

That's right.

Many police officers nodded.

At this time, as long as Shinji chose to attack, he should have won.

"But!" Shinji suddenly changed the subject and said, "Based on my understanding of you, your set card must be a card used to protect other monsters!"

"..." Seeing Ke Luo didn't speak, but just not refuting this point was enough to make Shinji sure that his guess was correct.

"Sure enough..." Shinji's face was gloomy and uncertain, "You must be thinking that a card like the decisive battle weapon, as the final decisive battle weapon, only exists in my deck, right—"

"But, everything is different now!

I am going to launch the final revolution!"

"Tune the two monsters on the field!"

What?

Seeing Ke Luo widened his eyes and looked back.

"Gather the wings of companions, gather together!"

"Unite the power of resistance and become the spearhead that raises the flag of revolution!"

"Synchro Summon!"

"Level 12, Bee Force - Revolution the Great Guerilla Broadhead Spear!"

Click, click, click.

Countless cannon barrels began to load, and a huge dark blue bee drove a massive airship and flew above Seeing Ke Luo.

Its existence was like a huge fleet constantly bombing, aiming at everything on the ground!

Bee Force - Revolution the Great Guerilla Broadhead Spear, Level 12, Wind Attribute, Insect-type, ATK 3000.

"ATK 3000..."

Seeing Ke Luo frowned.

Although it was a card he didn't recognize, its ATK was the same as Full Armor Master. If that was the case, there was no need to fear.

"The effect of Broadhead Spear, Insect-type Synchro monsters on the field gain ATK equal to the number of banished Insect-type monsters x 200. I have a total of 6 banished Insects, so its ATK is 4200!"

Bee Force - Revolution the Great Guerilla Broadhead Spear, ATK: 3000 -> 4200.

"ATK actually reached 4200?!" Ushio wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He couldn't solve this level of ATK at all.

"Because this effect does not need to be activated, Seeing Ke Luo, your Full Armor Master cannot activate its effect either!"

"In this way, I'm going to attack—"

"Wait, activate the Trap card, Provocation! During the opponent's Main Phase 1, choose 1 monster on your field to activate. As long as the chosen monster is on the field, the opponent must target the chosen monster for attacks this turn!"

Seeing Ke Luo looked at the armed Full Armor Master. Full Armor Master nodded at him and raised the great sword at his side.

"I choose Full Armor Master!"

"... Seeing Ke Luo, why not choose your token? It's a monster in Defense Position. Clearly, as long as you choose it, you could easily get through this turn!" Shinji questioned Seeing Ke Luo.

Seeing Ke Luo didn't reply, his meaning was already very clear.

Even if he was covered in bruises, he didn't want to give up the last bottom line of being a human.

"Then battle, attack your Full Armor Master with Broadhead Spear!"

The huge insect ship aimed at Full Armor Master, and countless crossbow arrows bombarded down like raindrops. Full Armor Master tried his best to block the falling torrent, but no matter how hard he tried, he still died with hatred and exploded with a bang.

Seeing Ke Luo, LP: 3800 -> 2600.

"... End turn."

Seeing Ke Luo closed his eyes.

His heart was roaring, roaring. He could feel the power of the Earthbound Immortal crazily nourishing his body.

That was the power brought by the Ultimate Earthbound Immortal, and his cards began to become more and more extreme under these circumstances.

The power of the Earthbound Immortal would amplify the darkness and ruthlessness in a person's heart.

He opened his eyes slowly.

He saw it—

"My turn!" Seeing Ke Luo drew a card crazily. He took a look, gritted his teeth, "Activate the Spell card, Allure of Darkness, draw two cards, and banish Poison Wind from my hand."

He looked at the card he drew, his pupils shrinking sharply.

He had drawn the card that should bring this duel to an end.

"Tune the Level 4 Sudri the Phantom Glint and the Level 2 Phantom Glint Token!"

"Come, crow that brings demonic energy."

"Blackwing - Boreas the Sharp Wind."

This is?

Shinji was a bit confused.

"The special effect of Blackwing Whirlwind, Special Summon Vata the Emblem of Wandering from the Graveyard!"

"The effect of Blackwing - Boreas the Sharp Wind, activate when this card is successfully Synchro Summoned."

The crow, which looked a bit evil, waved the weapon in its hand.

"Send a Blackwing monster from the deck to the Graveyard, and this monster's Level becomes the same as that monster's Level. I send the Level 10 Blackwing - Aurora the Northern Lights from the deck to the Graveyard."

Blackwing - Boreas the Sharp Wind, Level: 6 -> 10.

What does this mean?

Shinji didn't understand at all why he wanted to raise it to Level 10. Even if it was a relay Synchro, shouldn't he change the Level?

"Field Spell card—Earthbound Geoglyph!"

Suddenly, Seeing Ke Luo took out a card and inserted it into the Field Spell zone of his Duel Disk.

Shinji widened his eyes sharply.

Is it coming!?

Shinji clenched his fists.

It doesn't matter, Seeing Ke Luo still has monsters on the field that can attack. Even if he summons an Earthbound Immortal, it's no big deal!

"It's coming, Shinji—Quick-Play Spell card, Swallow's Nest!"

"Swallow's Nest?" Shinji looked at Seeing Ke Luo's field, "At this point, what can Swallow's Nest Special Summon..."

He shook his head and said: "I admit, your monster effects are indeed strong enough, but high ATK is high ATK. In a duel, even if the ATK is 1 point higher, you can be invincible, and Broadhead Spear won't even be destroyed by effects—"

"I am going to Tribute the Level 10 Boreas the Sharp Wind!"

"Level... 10?" Shinji muttered to himself, "Could it be..."

Screech—

Everyone seemed to hear a cry.

Tiera was startled, looked around several times, and exclaimed "Hell."

Because a situation she couldn't predict had occurred.

The next moment, the "ground painting" in the sky seemed to come alive, and a huge flying bird that covered the entire lower city slowly spread its wings.

It was pitch black, with deep purple patterns on its body. Spreading its wings was like the rising and setting of the sun, moon, and stars.

Its huge body made even Broadhead Spear, which was enough to bomb the ground, look extremely small, as if a bee were facing an eagle.

"What... is that?" Shinji stared with wide eyes.

He didn't seem to be looking at a monster, but at a phenomenon, a change in nature!

"Special Summon!"

"Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca!"

Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca, Level 10, Dark Attribute, Winged Beast-type, ATK 1.

"ATK 1???" Shinji was shocked.

"ATK 1?" Ushio was also confused.

How could a monster have such an ATK value?

So-called abnormal things must have a cause.

1 point of ATK, the more weird it is, the more weird it is.

Ask any normal duelist, who would think that summoning "1" in front of 4200 ATK is a normal behavior?

Seeing Ke Luo was clearly not the type to surrender.

What's more, it was such a huge, majestic, and awe-inspiring monster?

While he was thinking this, he saw that the huge Earthbound mark on Seeing Ke Luo's back actually began to shine.

Seeing Ke Luo picked up Black-Winged Dragon on the field.

This card was left to him by the previous owner of his D-Wheel, a card symbolizing freedom and protection.

He had always believed in this.

The next second, the Earthbound Immortal's mark appeared on the card, and a brand-new posture began to emerge slowly under the blessing of darkness.

Behind Seeing Ke Luo, pitch-black wings seemed to spread, pulling him into the darkness.

"Banish Black-Winged Dragon on my field and Boreas the Sharp Wind in the Graveyard, Special Summon from the Extra Deck—

Black gale! Hidden emotions turn into a torrent of assault!

Spread your noble wings!"

"Black-Winged Assault Dragon!!"

Black-Winged Dragon's wings exploded with a bang. The huge wings seemed to be nested with a layer of steel, looking sharp and powerful.

But compared to the previous Black-Winged Dragon, the current Black-Winged Dragon lost some softness and instead appeared aggressive, not hiding its malice at all, as if it wanted to swallow everything.

Black-Winged Assault Dragon, Level 10, Dark Attribute, Dragon-type, ATK 3200.

"Black-Winged Assault Dragon—humph, has your monster evolved too?" Shinji saw this monster and braced himself. Although he didn't know what the Earthbound Immortal's effect was, if the ATK was only 1, he should still be able to hold on, "But, in terms of ATK, mine is still higher!"

"Attack is just one way to duel!" Seeing Ke Luo shouted, "As long as Black-Winged Assault Dragon is on the field, every time the opponent activates a monster effect, place 1 Black Feather Counter on this card, then inflict 700 points of damage to the opponent!"

What?

All the duelists watching were dumbfounded.

Compared to monster effect sealing, although this effect was not so ruthless, it was also more "vicious."

"This... doesn't look like a card Seeing Ke Luo would use at all!" Yusei was shocked.

In the rough 【History】 he knew, Seeing Ke Luo never had this card!

Seeing Ke Luo was a smart, sharp, and good-at-changing person. Using various Blackwings to match and then cleverly defeating enemies was Seeing Ke Luo's greatest characteristic.

And this card seemed too aggressive!

"And... the effect of Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca—this card can attack directly, and the opponent cannot target it for attacks.

Once per turn, skip the Battle Phase, and make the opponent's Life Points become 1!"

"Huh?"

"My God!"

"Combined, aren't these two effects an iron win!?"

"I super..."

Everyone watching this duel let out exclamations.

"This, this, that person is so amazing!?" Serena opened her mouth wide.

Tiancheng Guang looked at the Ultimate Earthbound Immortal that was slowly aiming at Shinji and flapping its wings slightly, and couldn't help but frown.

"Ahhhhhh————"

Shinji was blown by the strong wind. His body swayed crazily and finally almost fell off the D-Wheel directly. Fortunately, Seeing Ke Luo didn't have any real "killing intent" in the first place, otherwise, he would have died directly.

Shinji, LP: 1.

"Black-Winged Assault Dragon and Earthbound Immortal, next turn, even if Shinji destroys Black-Winged Assault Dragon by battle, he will still have to face the direct attack of the Earthbound Immortal next turn.

Earthbound Immortals are unaffected by Spell/Trap effects. And if Shinji wants to activate an effect, he will be deducted Life Points by Assault Dragon.

Wanting to fight directly won't work either, because the ATK is insufficient. Using monsters for continuous Special Summons and then appearing a monster that can pierce through attacks to win should be the best attempt... but... Seeing Ke Luo wouldn't have thought of this."

"Set one card, end turn."

Shinji chased up unsteadily. He gritted his teeth and stared at Seeing Ke Luo.

"My turn—"

"Activate the Trap card, Waboku."

!!!

Shinji widened his eyes.

"This turn, my monsters won't be destroyed by battle, and the battle damage I take becomes 0!"

Shinji looked at the Bee Force Nest he drew, his hands softening.

Waboku...

Waboku!!

Harmony...

Shinji's mind flashed through many past exchanges, flashed through his friendship with Seeing Ke Luo, flashed through his quarrels with Seeing Ke Luo because of different strategies.

But what followed was the endless tragedy of the bottom-level people in this world!

He opened his eyes sharply.

"Seeing Ke Luo!!!" He roared, "I don't know, I really don't know how our world can get better!"

"Shinji..."

Shinji didn't know where the future of the lower-level people was, or rather, he had actually seen the "future" of the lower city long ago.

Dim, lightless, like trash, driven into a dirty, messy, and poor environment, without even a little bit of mercy.

He didn't want, and didn't hope that the people in the lower city in the future would be like him, forever in the dark.

But he didn't know, didn't know what was right, didn't know how to change, he could only crash around like a headless fly.

He knew that even children were attacked, and he was no longer worthy of being called a human, but he had no choice, he couldn't figure anything out.

"Seeing Ke Luo, it's impossible for me to be 【harmonious】 with you ever again, forever!!

Let's fight, to prove that your correctness, your justice is more correct and more just than mine!!"

"Revolution the Great Guerilla Broadhead Spear attacks Black-Winged Assault Dragon!!"

The two monsters collided tightly. Although this attack had no meaning at all, the two monsters still roared, venting their anger and their philosophy, venting the power and decisions of their holders.

And after all these attacks ended, in the sky, the majestic Earthbound Immortal, like a natural phenomenon, took a deep breath.

Then—

Boom!

A pillar of light that destroyed the sky and the earth shot out, and everything dissipated in the duel.

Shinji LP: 1 -> 0.

With Shinji's Life Points returning to zero, the drawing of the Ultimate Earthbound Immortal had already been completed by one-third.
