The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　It holds a paintbrush and paints on its own canvas. But the painting is simultaneously displayed on the "sky canvas".

　Above this double amplification, a huge painting was displayed on the "sky canvas".

　That was none other than the legendary painting—"The Smile of God"!

　When the painting was completed, not only the contestants and magical spirits in the arena, but even the spectators outside the arena were subtly affected, their eyes fixed on the painting.

　On the "sky canvas," a figure appeared blurry, indistinct at first glance. But upon closer inspection, the figure suddenly revealed itself, its mystery lifted, becoming clearer, and the smiling face of a god came into view.

　Everyone has their own God in their heart, and everyone sees a different God. But without exception, everyone sees a smiling God.

　"when!"

　A voice as loud as a great bell suddenly rang in her mind. Emma broke out in a cold sweat and woke up with a start.

　The "Golden Codex" emitted an even more dazzling light. She quickly lowered her head, no longer looking at the "Sky Canvas".

　That painting, "The Smile of God," possessed an extraordinary allure. Had she not happened to summon the "Golden Codex," she would likely have been bewitched and imprisoned by it.

　Although she regained consciousness, the "Golden Terracotta Warrior" stopped moving. It had just reached the center line of the arena when more than half of the bandages shot out from all sides, binding it in the middle, but still unable to pull it into the sky.

　Its upper body was wrapped in bandages and could not be seen. But one could still imagine that it was looking up at the sky, even though its vision was theoretically blocked by the bandages.

　"Golden Terracotta Warrior, use Intimidation!" Emma shouted immediately.

　Not looking directly at "The Smile of God" does prevent the painting from reaching its full potential.

　With the mage's forced command, the "Golden Terracotta Warrior" successfully broke free from the influence.

　It immediately unleashed its ultimate move – "Intimidation"!

　In an instant, an extremely powerful aura erupted from the bandaged "cocoon," the killing might unleashed by thousands of soldiers trampling the battlefield.

　Blood drenched the battlefield, and bones piled up layer upon layer.

　Trinsina's face turned pale instantly due to the "intimidation." The "divine artist," who was still painting, was also frightened by the "intimidation" and stopped painting.

　Even the bandages created by the Jorogumo became soft and limp. After releasing the "Intimidation," the "Golden Puppet" received a significant boost in speed and strength. It unleashed its power in that instant, tearing the bandages apart and bursting out of its cocoon like a spider silkworm, charging towards Trinsina with overwhelming ferocity.

　Trinsina's expression changed slightly. She wouldn't normally have changed her demeanor because of this, but the "intimidation" weakened her will.

　This allowed her to activate the power of the canvas in front of her ahead of time. "Copy!"

　A golden circle instantly appeared beneath the feet of the "Golden Terracotta Warrior." The "Golden Terracotta Warrior," originally cast in gold, was also covered in gold and transformed into a golden statue through the secret ritual she had copied.

　Immediately, two golden statues appeared in the field.

　But before Trinsina could relax, the golden statue that the "Golden Terracotta Warrior" had transformed into cracked open from the inside out.

　Golden sand trickled from the cracks and then reformed on one side of the statue.

　"No, it's not about shedding its skin like a cicada!"

　Trinsina immediately denied her initial judgment, and then her expression changed drastically.

　The "Golden Terracotta Warrior" did not use an escape skill like "Shedding its Cicada Shell," but rather shed its false outer shell and restored its true form.

　It possesses an extremely unique ultimate skill; the nine-star outer shell is merely a disguise formed from condensed golden sand.

　Hidden beneath the external disguise is a mere six-star entity.

　Emma Metis did not use a "Special Summon" just now, but a regular "Sacrifice Summon".

　Sacrifice six stars to summon six stars.

　This "Golden Terracotta Warrior" is actually just a six-star magical spirit. In its "Disguise Form," the only special moves it can use are things like "Suppression," "Intimidation," and "Battle Cry."

　However, its panel data is real, and its three-dimensional attributes have indeed reached the nine-star level.

　When it is unsummoned and returns to its true form, its three attributes will be restored to the level of a six-star.

　But at the same time, it was finally able to use its own ultimate attack. "Golden Terracotta Warrior, summon the army formation!"

　Emma suddenly shouted.

　Her tone became noticeably more assertive.

　The "Golden Terracotta Warrior's" ultimate moves while in disguise are all for show, essentially equivalent to a nine-star blank card.

　However, its ultimate skills after reverting to its six-star true form are all incredibly powerful. The primary purpose of summoning the "Golden Terracotta Warrior" was to trick Trinsina into using "Imitation," and its objective has clearly been achieved.

　"Hah—" The roar of thousands of troops could be faintly heard from the field. The [Golden Terracotta Warrior] raised the banner and summoned the troops.

　Golden sands emerged behind them, and terracotta warriors cast in gold sprang from the sands.

　There were twelve golden terracotta warriors in total, arranged in groups of three, making four groups in total. Each group had a military formation halo under its feet, which amplified its power.

　After being amplified, each of the golden terracotta warriors possesses a template that is no less impressive than the original.

　The "Golden Terracotta Warrior" waved its banner and pointed forward, and the army formed by the twelve golden terracotta warriors immediately charged towards Trinsina.

　Trinsina, intimidated by the imposing aura, grew slightly impatient and quickly gave the order. The "Divine Painter" finally added the final stroke, summoning the second painting, "The Last Supper"!

　When this famous painting appeared on the "sky canvas," all the golden figurines suddenly stopped moving.

　It was as if invisible threads were hanging down from the sky, turning them into marionettes.

　But then the "Golden Terracotta Warrior" suddenly stomped its flag, and the sound of horns rang out in the arena, causing all the Golden Terracotta Warriors to come to life again.

　The commands of the "golden terracotta warriors" and the dominance of "The Last Supper" have become locked in a tug-of-war.

　But outside the main battlefield, the "Wishing Angels" were also influenced by "The Last Supper"!

　But Emma reacted very quickly. Just as she sensed the "Wishing Angel's" intention, she transformed the magic card back into the "Wishing Lamp".

　She then glanced at the venue and immediately turned to the next page of the Golden Code.

　"Second law: Orders cannot be disobeyed!"

　This is a decree that can also exert a controlling effect on magical spirits, which perfectly cancels out the effect of "The Last Supper".

　The army charged again.

　Trinsina wanted the "Divine Painter" to paint again, but found that although its wrist was moving, its painting speed had dropped significantly, which was obviously also affected by the "Golden Codex"!

Chapter 1239 Self-Portrait, Evil in the Heart

　At this moment, in addition to the "Golden Terracotta Warriors" and their army, Emma also had the "Wishing Lamp" and the "Golden Codex" in her field.

　In Trinsana's arena, only "Divine Grace Painter" and "Sky Canvas" remain.

　However, the "Wishing Lamp" is basically obsolete, the "Golden Codex" only has one last spell left, and the "Golden Figurine" at its peak is only a six-star magic spirit.

　Trinsina's "Divine Painter" is in the third tier, and the field card "Sky Canvas" still has room for maneuver.

　Both sides have few cards left, but this round is about to end, and they can replenish their cards soon.

　The duel has continued so far, and neither player has left the summoning area, yet the intensity of the attack and defense is in no way inferior.

　The "Divine Painter" painted two paintings, but both were neutralized by Emma. While possessing the "Divine Gift" passive ability, it can paint a total of three paintings. However, its "painting library" certainly contains more than three paintings; it simply selects different paintings depending on the situation.

　Two paintings have already been completed, leaving only the last one.

　Trinsina selected one of her masterpieces from her collection—"Self-Portrait of the Graceful Painter."

　However, before this painting was completed, the "Graceful Painter" was affected by the "Golden Codex," which greatly slowed down his painting speed.

　"Divine Grace Painter" is a spellcaster-type magical spirit. Although its three attributes are not low, it does not have strong combat instincts in a practical sense. It is the type that has offense and defense but cannot make full use of them.

　Of course, if an opponent charges straight at it, it can still smash the opponent's head with its drawing board.

　—This is on the premise that the opponent is not very strong.

　However, Emma's "Golden Terracotta Warriors" formation was clearly not within this scope. Although those twelve golden terracotta warriors were only six-star in terms of stats, they were blessed with an aura, obeyed orders without question, and were numerous. Even a magic elf with weak defenses like the "Divine Grace Painter" would be emptied of its health bar with a single charge.

　In short, we cannot allow the golden terracotta warriors' army to break through!

　at this time.

　If it were any other Knights of the Round Table, they might have already drawn their swords and charged out to buy time.

　But Trinsina did not, and would not, do that.

　At the end of the round, she added a stroke to her canvas, and hail suddenly fell from the "sky canvas," densely pelting the twelve golden terracotta warriors.

　Such a change in weather could certainly not stop the progress of the Golden Terracotta Warriors.

　However, where hail falls, the ice surface freezes, making it slippery and easy to fall.

　The army, charging forward again, slowed down as they stepped onto the ice, buying Trinsina the necessary time.

　"Tick!"

　The rounds switch instantly.

　Trinsina suddenly focused her gaze on the projection of the newly acquired Spellcard. Then, a summoning swift as lightning!

　"In the name of Trinsina Field, a magical summoning—'The Labyrinth in the Painting'!"

　Just as the "Golden Terracotta Warriors" army was about to break through the ice and charge in, Trinsina finally drew the crucial magic card.

　"Painting Labyrinth" is a field card of the same type as "Sky Canvas," with a very similar effect to "Sky Canvas," and they are interchangeable.

　The biggest difference between the "Painting Maze" and the "Sky Canvas" is that the "Painting Maze" is built on the ground!

　One sky, one ground.

　Trinsina rapidly channeled magic power into the magic card, and the ground beneath her feet suddenly rose up.

　This change in terrain began with this and then radiated outwards, first raising walls that blocked the "Golden Terracotta Warriors" and their army outside.

　Of course, the "Golden Terracotta Warriors" couldn't just obediently navigate the maze. With a sudden wave of its banner, the twelve golden terracotta warriors formed an army that crashed into the wall, shattering the newly formed maze walls.

　Then the golden terracotta warrior broke through the wall and advanced, getting closer and closer.

　But with a stroke of her pen, Trinsina transformed this section of the maze into a sudden flood.

　The flood that appeared from the void rushed out along the labyrinth's passageways, violently washing over the twelve golden terracotta warriors.

　But the twelve golden terracotta warriors remained steadfast and unmoved as the floodwaters passed.

　When the floodwaters receded, they continued onward—only to fall into the labyrinthine pit!

　But unlike ordinary maze traps, the traps in this "maze in a painting" were all drawn on the spot...

　Although painting in this "painting labyrinth" requires following certain rules.

　But Trinsina was naturally well aware of this.

　To buy time, she frantically added traps throughout the maze. After the flood came pitfalls, and after the pitfalls came rolling stones.

　The enormous boulder rolled down the maze-like passageway, faster and faster.

　When the golden terracotta warriors climbed out of the pit, they were met with huge rolling stones!

　The "Golden Terracotta Warriors" were thus slowed down considerably, and were held back in the final stretch, making progress extremely difficult.

　Emma frowned and realized that the third painting by "The Divine Painter" was unstoppable.

　She gave the "Golden Terracotta Warrior" her final command and immediately began summoning new magic cards.

　The "Golden Terracotta Warriors" immediately unleashed their ultimate technique—"Golden Will." A golden radiance suddenly spread from their heads, illuminating the entire army formation. The surfaces of all thirteen Golden Terracotta Warriors were instantly enveloped in golden light.

　At this moment, all thirteen golden terracotta warriors gained temporary immunity to transformation-type ultimate skills.

　The stickiness and slowing effects of the various traps vanished instantly, and the "Golden Terracotta Warrior" finally broke through the last wall and rushed in front of Trinsina.

　Then, the thirteen golden terracotta warriors simultaneously drew their spears, pointing them towards the sky. The "Golden Will" instantly coalesced at the tips of the spears. The entire army, led by the golden terracotta warriors themselves, thrust their spears at Trinsina in unison.

　The golden light surrounding the golden terracotta warrior's body all moved to the tip of the spear, and at that moment, it transformed into a golden tide that surged towards Trinsina as the spearhead thrust outwards.

　—The immune effect of "Golden Will" also disappeared.

　All the power was concentrated in this one strike.

　But Trinsina showed no sign of retreat when facing the golden tide.

　Because the third painting by "The Graceful Painter" is complete! "The Graceful Painter's Self-Portrait"!

　This time, it suddenly slapped the easel, turning the paper to face away. The objects in the painting instantly leaped out.

　That was a self-portrait that bore the exact same appearance as the "Divine Grace Painter," but with completely different attire and demeanor!

　The "self-portrait" leaps out from the canvas, with bull horns growing on both sides of its head, resembling a demon.

　That was the "self-portrait" of the "divinely gracious painter," and also the "evil in his heart"!
