Chapter 198: Scholars Look Down on Each Other
I'm back from my hometown. This is my first update since I came back. Thank you for not abandoning me. But I haven't updated for several days. I need to find my feel first.
————————God Shadow I·Midrash——————
Li Zheng is very angry now.
First of all, it was because of "the plan can't keep up with the changes". The situation that he and Shina had arranged with great difficulty was suddenly destroyed by the terminal. Now Li Zheng seriously suspects that the terminal is deliberately messing with him this time.
Secondly, because of the terminal, Li Zheng also forgot that there were two monsters on his field that were about to be destroyed by the "Lightning Vortex". When he came to his senses, "God Shadow I·Nephilim" and "God Shadow I·Strange Flower Lilith" were all destroyed!
"Damn..." Li Zheng looked at the "Forbidden Cloth" in his hand, feeling bitter, but he couldn't say it.
[Forbidden Cloth: Quick Attack Magic, Effect: Select 1 face-up monster on the field to activate. Until the end phase, the selected monster's attack power decreases by 600, and it will not be targeted by card effects and will not be destroyed by card effects. 】
"Now, all your monsters are destroyed!" Kaiba continued to duel on his own as if he had not heard the previous notice at all, "You no longer have monsters, so the battle naturally cannot continue!"
"Hey, hey, hey, Kaiba, didn't you hear that voice? This place is about to explode!" Jonouchi shouted, "There are only five minutes left, and you still have the mind to duel? Shouldn't we find a way to get back to the airship immediately? Hey, that person over there, is it called 'Noa'? Hurry up and end the duel and let us out!"
"Although the monsters are destroyed, "It's 'God Shadow Nephilim' and 'God Shadow Lilith' that both have special last words effects," Li Zheng opened his graveyard and added two cards to his hand, saying, "When 'God Shadow Nephilim' and 'God Shadow Lilith' are sent to the graveyard, one 'Shadow' magic or trap card in the graveyard can be added to the hand. I will add 'Shadow Fusion' and... 'Contact with God's False Body' to my hand!"
[Contact with God's False Body (God Shadow Fusion): Quick Attack Magic, Effect: Only one Contact with God's False Body can be activated per turn. 1: Send the Fusion Material Monster determined by the Shadow Fusion Monster Card from your hand or field to the graveyard, and Fusion Summon that 1 Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck. 】
"Hey, hey, hey, why don't you listen to me!" Jonouchi was so anxious that he jumped up and down, "Yugi, Xiaohui, you guys should persuade them too!"
"No need." Xiaohui shook her head directly. She trusted Li Zheng 100%, so she didn't panic when Li Zheng didn't look panicked.
"It's meaningless. A real duelist won't be disturbed in any way during a duel." Yugi also shook his head. He was naturally worried that this place would explode, but now the two sides of the war were tit-for-tat and unwilling to give in, so it was undoubtedly extremely difficult to persuade them.
The reason why Li Zheng didn't run away was much simpler: Shinadu and the terminal sent him a communication, saying that this problem was not difficult to solve, and they all had a way to turn off the countdown for the self-destruction.
So Li Zheng continued the duel, "I don't end my battle phase, I activate the quick-attack magic - 'Contact with God's False Body', I send 'Volcano Counter Beast' and 'Shadow Hedgehog' to the graveyard from my hand, and special summon 'God Shadow I·God's Child Crystal' from my extra deck! Then the effect of 'Shadow I·God's Child Crystal' is activated, and I add 'Shadow Hound' from the deck to my hand!"
A giant tree quickly grew behind Li Zheng, seemingly unrelated to the activation of this fusion magic, but at this time, the Dark Shadow I-"God Shadow I·Midrash" who had been acting cute behind Li Zheng moved: she rode her mount to the center of the giant tree, and then used magic in her hands to blow the giant tree that seemed to connect the sky and the earth into two halves in an instant!
"Boom boom boom..." The giant tree slowly collapsed, but skyfire and lava emerged from its corpse. The smoke gradually dissipated, and another huge figure like a mountain could be seen clearly...
"Wooooo~~~~~" The mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, and the shadow fire filled the entire shadow altar. Born from the fire was another noble God Shadow-God's daughter crystal.
[God Shadow·God's daughter crystal: Fusion monster, seven stars, fire attribute, rock type, attack power: 2450. Defense: 1950, effect: Shadow monster + fire attribute monster, this card can only be special summoned from the extra deck by fusion summon. The effect of 1 of God Shadow·God's daughter crystal can only be used once per turn. 1: Can only be activated when the opponent special summons a monster. That special summon is invalid, and those monsters are destroyed. After that, send 1 Shadow card in your hand to the graveyard. 2: If this card is sent to the graveyard, you can activate it by targeting 1 Shadow magic or trap card in your graveyard. Add that card to your hand. 】

"What the hell is this bastard doing with this plane! This will be even harder to repair!"
At the junction of the virtual world and reality, the terminal turned into a Q-version bald eagle, complaining about Li Zheng's actions with an indignant look on his face while checking the problem of the defense system going out of control. "Doesn't he know that this is an extraordinary period? He dares to use a card like 'Contact with God's Avatar', which can be seen from the card picture that it will blow up the world tree and destroy the balance of the world... Does he deliberately think that my workload is not heavy enough?" (Note 1)
Although complaining about Li Zheng in his heart, the terminal also knew that he would take a lot of blame for this riot. So the terminal muttered while carefully checking the defense system, "But fortunately, the design we are facing this time is relatively simple, so it should not be difficult... Ah, I found it!"
The terminal stopped at a place where bugs gathered, "This is the first port, and the modification here should be able to achieve the goal."
The terminal began to operate, and at this time there were still 3 minutes and 28 seconds before the underwater base exploded.
————————Divine Shadow I·Nephilim————————
"What should I do? Didn't you say you can solve everything? This place is about to explode!" In the operation room of the underwater base, Honma Gengsi looked at the mysterious man who was still calm, and was like an ant on a hot pot.
"It doesn't matter. It won't take more than three minutes to solve this problem." The mysterious man remained calm. Perhaps the disaster that seemed like the end of the world to ordinary people was just a daily routine in his eyes? "I have found the crux of the problem. It is simpler than I thought. It can even be solved in about a minute."
"Huh... That's great." Honma Gengsi looked at the 3 minutes and 19 seconds on the self-destruction countdown, patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
————————Divine Shadow I·Wendigo————————
It has been mentioned before that the strategies used by the terminal and the mysterious man are two completely different methods. That is, the terminal and the mysterious man take two almost completely opposite paths when solving problems.
As we all know, no matter in which industry, there is always the phenomenon of "literati looking down on each other". So, as the "sages" and "intelligence" at the top of human knowledge, what will happen if they solve a problem at the same time?
No matter what you imagined before, Zhina, who is now trying to use root privileges to directly turn off the defense system, said: These two guys are here to make trouble!
It feels better as I repair it here, but when I look back, I find that what I did before has been completely destroyed by the other side; the situation on the other side is similar. At the same time, in order to facilitate their own operations, the root privileges are frequently changed in the hands of these two guys, and they can't play any power at all. The result is that after a long time, the self-destruction program has not been affected at all. The self-destruction program is still counting down leisurely, as if mocking this bunch of stupid intelligent life.
Meanwhile, on Li Zheng's side
Li Zheng: "Terminal, can you do it?"
Terminal: "Give me another minute and I'll definitely solve it!"
Li Zheng: "I see you've been busy for a long time, but you haven't solved anything..."
Terminal: "Wait a minute! I'm arguing with a guy who came out of nowhere. Do you know that this time we're facing the problem above? If it's not solved here, even if I die and get nailed in the scrapyard, I'll use this rotten code to tell this bastard: the a·charge I created is the best language!"
Li Zheng: "What is this a·charge? What is it again? Are you so bored that your motherboard hurts...”
Terminal: “What do you think? If you hadn’t used that tree-blasting card, I could have solved this problem by standing up to this guy.”
The rhythm was basically the same on the other side. The mysterious man said nothing and maintained his usual aloof image. But even Honma Kensei, who didn’t understand technology at all, could see that he had already forgotten about “turning off the self-destruction program” in actual operation...
