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

　For example, use "White Dragon Scale" on "BlackWarGreymon"! The core effect of "White Dragon Scale" is actually the purification effect when it is equipped on the target.

　However, this purification effect naturally cannot affect near-god level anomalies.

　In fact, the anomalies that it can purify can exempt "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" or "BlackWarGreymon".

　Therefore, Dark was more focused on its other effect—defense boost! The "White Dragon Scale" offered a considerable defense boost, a full eight hundred points. Moreover, Dark had heard that Senior Sister Pandora had recently crafted...

　"White Dragon Scale" can increase defense by 2,000 points, but it is only for white dragons.

　His "White Dragon Scale" was indeed far inferior to it. But while it might not be helpful in times of need, it was certainly good at adding to existing strengths. After equipping the "White Dragon Scale," BlackWarGreymon's normal defense reached 7800 points.

　When it raises the "Shield of Elysium", the shield's defense will increase to 14800 points.

　Even with the most powerful special moves, ordinary twelve-star magical spirits would find it difficult to break through its shield defense!

　After using "White Dragon Scale", Dark immediately drew a card.

　BlackWarGreymon stomped its foot and shot up like a rocket, then paused in mid-air for a moment before swooping down towards Lei Qi. At this moment, the "Dragon Soul Elegy" began to play.

　However, neither Darkdemon nor BlackWarGreymon was affected in the slightest.

　Dark glanced at his newly acquired magic card out of the corner of his eye, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

　"Blue-Eyed Girl" [Laughing Mask]

　From the first round to the beginning of the second round, he had already used all five cards in his starting hand, and the "Fantasy Beast: Eevee" that returned to his hand was now in his hand.

　The addition of these two new magic cards is very timely. His already summoned "Stardust Dragon" and "Ally of Justice Kaiba" have both been affected by "Dragon Soul Elegy" and have temporarily lost their offensive intent.

　Especially "Hippocampus, the ally of justice," stood there silently sobbing.

　The Stardust Dragon and Stardust Baby Dragon are less affected, but they are also temporarily unable to launch an attack.

　However, the main role of "Stardust Dragon" and "Stardust Baby Dragon" is "protection", while "attack" is the responsibility of "BlackWarGreymon"!

　Dark quickly drew "Blue-Eyes Girl," preparing to summon her. His gaze was fixed on the opponent's field.

　After summoning the "Guardian Spirit," Lei Qi still hid behind the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" with it.

　This powerful nine-star dragon has now become his shield. However, it is not easy for him to control the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" to launch an attack; he must pour all his magic power into it and control it continuously.

　This was something he had never experienced with other magical spirits. Normally, he could issue commands freely after using "Dragon Lock" on a target.

　Instead of the current situation where even releasing a "destructive jet of white light" is so difficult!

　Moreover, the "Destructive Jet White Light" that "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" had just released was easily deflected by "BlackWarGreymon" with a casual wave of its hand.

　That composed and carefree demeanor made him feel much more pressured.

　He stared intently at "BlackWarGreymon" and quickly issued commands to his "Guardian Spirit".

　Upon hearing the command, the "Guardian Spirit" immediately unleashed its ultimate skill, "Dragon Soul Protection," similar to "Protect," which could completely block the opponent's attacks for thirty seconds.

　A protective shield against impact.

　However, he wasn't sure if "Dragon Soul Protection" could stop "Black WarGreymon." Therefore, after issuing the command, he immediately began preparing for the next summon.

　In his mind, the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" could at least hold out for a while. It was said that the magical spirits of Darkdemon possessed special spirituality, and that magical spirits with spirituality would often hesitate when facing their companions.

　Just as Lei Qi was pondering this, Yan PX Shi Cha Yuan Yi arrived in front of the "Blue-Eyed White Dragon" and stopped!

　"Blue-Eyed Girl, Soul of Light!"

　But a clear, melodious young voice suddenly came from the other side.

　A pure light, incongruous with the power of darkness, fell from the sky, and pure white feathers drifted down.

　"Blue-Eyed White Dragon" was killed by Long Shi in that instant.

　BlackWarGreymon made its move! It was just a swift thrust with its right claw.

　The "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" then transformed into light within his field of vision.

　The Blue-Eyes White Dragon, with a defense of 5500 and a magic power of 5500, couldn't even withstand a single normal attack from BlackWarGreymon and was instantly killed.

　At this moment, the viewers in front of the screen couldn't help but rub their eyes, afraid that they had suddenly missed something.

　The audience gasped in shock; the once bustling and lively viewing area suddenly turned cold.

　Many spectators had only managed to shout half a cheer when it was abruptly cut off in their throats.

　It's worth noting that the Blue-Eyes White Dragon is incredibly popular, having already surpassed Noah Sharp's Redridge Black Dragon.

　Therefore, people have a fairly good understanding of its various aspects. Among them, the most detailed understanding comes from its three dimensions in pure numerical form.

　In many people's eyes, the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" is a terrifying being capable of challenging fourth-tier magical spirits.

　However, the "Black WarGreymon" that appeared before everyone for the first time was able to kill them with just a simple thrust.

　What a terrifying attack!

　And after that.

　BlackWarGreymon appeared in front of the Guardian Spirit's shield without stopping.

　Then, another basic attack followed by a thrust.

　The "Dragon Soul Guardian," which could theoretically provide complete defense for thirty seconds, was broken just like that!

　When "Dragon Soul Guardian" shattered, Lei Qi was greatly alarmed. His deck, which was placed in the Duel Disk slot, was faintly leaking divine power, which moved him even more.

　"Both the jade and the stone will perish!"

　In that instant, Lei Qi suddenly roared.

　However, lightning crackled beneath his feet, causing his speed to increase dramatically, and he vanished from his spot in an instant.

　Upon hearing the command, the Guardian Spirit unleashed its final, deadly attack—"Total Destruction"—without the slightest fluctuation in its expression!

　"boom!"

　A deafening explosion suddenly rang out. The Guardian Spirit charged towards BlackWarGreymon and self-destructed on the spot. The power of a nine-star Magical Spirit's self-destruction was unimaginable.

　However, when BlackWarGreymon emerged from the explosion a moment later, it was completely unharmed.

　His jet-black alloy armor remained gleaming, without a single scratch.

　"In the name of Raikiro, a magical summoning—'Divine Dragon Armored Thunder'!"

　After Lei Qi used "Thunder Kick" to escape, he immediately summoned the magic card he had just drawn - "Divine Dragon Armor Thunder".

　As the name suggests, this is an "armed card".

　The World Cup does not prohibit the use of "armor cards," and many players are even "armor" specialists, starting with an armor transformation.

　However, in this competition, the Armed Transformation has been significantly weakened. This is because its armor cannot cover the "Life Card's" life points, meaning it, like the Equipment Card, cannot provide defense for those 4,000 life points. However, weapons and armor are not linked to the "Life Card." Therefore, duelists in Armed Transformation can use weapons to block or shields to defend.

　This significantly raises the skill requirements for armed duelists, but it doesn't mean they can't participate at all.

　Lei Qi's "Divine Dragon Armor Thunder" is one of his hidden trump cards. This armor is made from the scales left behind by the "Thunder God Dragon". Although it cannot make him as powerful as the "Thunder God Dragon", it can further enhance his already strong physique to the level of a normal twelve-star magic spirit.

　Therefore, he originally intended to use this trump card on the preliminary round stage. However, once he entered the duel, facing increasingly stronger opponents, a feeling of "not wanting to lose" began to haunt him.

　After summoning "Thor Dragon" in the previous duel, his mind seemed to have opened a floodgate, and his control dropped sharply.

　In the end, he used this top-secret trump card in this duel. After donning the "Divine Dragon Armor Thunder," his entire body was covered in dark blue armor, and even the duel disk was protected by armor.

　Its appearance even bore a resemblance to "Black WarGreymon".

Chapter 1508 Darkdemon pulls out (4k) in the competition of who has the best father.

　After transforming into her armed form, Rai Hodge's entire body shimmered with lightning.

　The armor on its chest and back is marked with the totem of the "Thunder Dragon", which faintly exudes a divine aura.

　It is evident that this armor is connected to the soul of the "Thor Dragon". Lei Qi seems to be able to draw a trace of the "Thor Dragon's" power through this armor.

　This gave him a touch of divinity after he donned the robes. But this touch of divinity was not enough to make him any more powerful.

　Its only function is to grant Lei Qi more abnormal resistance and to strengthen "Thunder Kick" by reducing its cooldown.

　While the "Thunder Kick" skill is useful, its cooldown is actually quite long, a full fifteen seconds.

　Its duration is only two seconds.

　However, after equipping the "Divine Dragon Armor - Thunder", the cooldown of "Thunder Kick" will be reduced to 3 seconds!

　With a cooldown of only three seconds, "Thunder Kick" can greatly enhance Lei Qi's survivability.

　Lei Qi's deck revolves around "Thunder Dragon".

　If you can draw and summon "Thunder Dragon", you can basically secure victory.

　Therefore, he has many magic cards, all of which have the ability to buy time when facing powerful enemies.

　When faced with an opponent he cannot defeat for the time being, he will employ the strategy of "delaying" until "Thor Dragon" comes to the rescue.

　He never expected to encounter this situation in just one preliminary selection battle.

　"Thunder God Gun!"

　As his thoughts raced, Lei Qi reached out with his right hand, and lightning condensed into a spear in his palm. The spear was engraved with spiral patterns, and a serpentine lightning dragon coiled around it, constantly moving about.

　The armor covering his left hand, which covers the Duel Disk, forms a one-handed shield engraved with the "Thor Dragon" totem.

　This one-handed shield can't compare to BlackWarGreymon's Shield of Elysium, but it's still a shield and can be used to block attacks.

　Its defense is identical to that of the "Divine Dragon Armor - Thunder," both possessing strength comparable to that of a twelve-star magical spirit.

　Shield in the left hand, gun in the right.

　Lei Qi instantly donned full protective gear.

　At that moment, he felt a little relieved.

　But when he looked up suddenly, he saw the area near the center line of the court.

　Blue-Eyes White Dragon, which was just instantly killed by BlackWarGreymon, has been reborn in spirit form!

　Moreover, after the process of being resurrected, the "Dragon Lock" on the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" has completely disappeared.

　Dark regained control of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

　He then flicked his finger, and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon put on the Laughing Mask!

　The "Laughing Mask" is an equipment that converts the wearer's defense into attack power.

　As for its negative characteristic of "Rationality -3", it has no effect on the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" which has the "Destruction Dragon" passive skill.

　Standing beside Dark is the "Blue-Eyes Girl," who can unleash [Strong! Invincible! Strongest!] on the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" at any time, preventing it from being instantly killed due to its low defense.

　Even if there isn't time to unleash it, there's another ultimate move, "Guidance of Light," which can revive the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon."

　Therefore, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon attacked in a rage, without any hesitation. Dark adjusted his position slightly, placing the "Ally of Justice - Kaiba" in front of him and the "Blue-Eyes Girl" behind him.

　Then he commanded the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" to launch a full-scale attack.

　But just as "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" flapped its wings, "BlackWarGreymon" was already in front of Lei Qi.

　Lei Qi had only two cards left in his hand, and he had no time to summon any more. His reaction was incredibly fast; almost the instant "Black WarGreymon" charged in front of him, he raised his shield to meet it!

　This shield, which is integrated with the armor, doesn't offer any defensive bonuses, but it's imbued with electricity, capable of triggering magnetic storms and paralyzing opponents.

　—He did indeed do that.

　However, BlackWarGreymon was completely unaffected by the magnetic storm. Its dragon claws shot out at high speed, piercing through the one-handed shield with a "crack"!

　Lei Qi's expression changed instantly, and his right hand, the "Thunder God Spear," shot out like a dragon, pointing directly at the leg of the "Black WarGreymon."

　He certainly couldn't attack a shield that was clearly defensively specialized.

　With this thrust, he was confident he could break through β... Hmm, better not! Lei Qi moved his feet, and lightning burst forth instantly.

　He himself had already appeared in another corner of the venue!

　He thrust with the "Thunder God Spear," but when it struck the alloy armor of "Black WarGreymon," it hit a wall instantly and failed to penetrate at all.

　"This twelve-star magical spirit, which is clearly known for its offensive capabilities, actually has over eight thousand points of defense!"

　Lei Qi couldn't help but clench her teeth.

　It should be noted that the highest value of a single attribute of a typical twelve-star magical spirit is usually only seven thousand points.

　Lei Qi's "Thunder God Spear" already had 8,000 attack points, yet it couldn't even break through the defense of "Black WarGreymon"!
