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

　The only true "God Card" can be the "Insect Nest".

　However, it is not a Magical Spirit Card type.

　Charles has built this Bug Monster deck around the "Bug Monster Nest" as its core, and combined with his own unique abilities, he is able to mass-produce sixth-tier Bug Monsters!

　The black light quickly faded, and a second sixth-tier insect demon was born. This insect demon was clearly a fusion of the "ant demon human" as its main body.

　Its physique became more robust, with bulging muscles on its four arms and its body covered in black insect armor.

　Those black insect-like shells must have originally belonged to the beetle family, and were considered demonic insects.

　After the two merged, a high-attack, high-defense, high-speed, and high-magic insect demon was born.

　Dak tentatively named it "Ant Demon".

　The first insect demon was based on an "insect demon human" and fused with a "bee demon woman." Therefore, two of its four arms were mantis arms and two were bee sting arms.

　Dak temporarily named it (Bee Mantis).

　At this moment, Charles also emerged from the abandoned "Insect Nest".

　He looked a little disheveled and had lost some health points, but he was obviously not seriously injured.

　The "Armored Ant Demon" landed on the ground, guarding Charles, giving the impression of being impenetrable.

　Dark frowned slightly, noticing that Charles was not currently multitasking in controlling the two 12-star, sixth-tier insect demons.

　It's unclear whether it's due to an inability to control it, or a lack of prior control. "No wonder the 'Ant Demon' could toy with the 'Thunder Cloud' for so long!"

Chapter 1568 Mental Whip, Destroying Insect Strike (4k)

　Without the mage's meticulous and comprehensive control, the magical spirit's flaws were exposed.

　"Thundercloud" executed its kiting tactic very well, not giving "Mantis Demon" a chance to even touch it.

　Meanwhile, the "Blue-Eyed Girl," who was in a "near-death state," took the opportunity to dispel her avatar, reducing her target size to avoid being killed by the aftermath of the battle.

　It hid at the edge of the field and managed to survive.

　Charles emerged from the "Insect Demon Nest" and immediately pulled the "Armored Ant Demon" to his side to protect himself, having already forgotten about the "Blue-Eyed Girl" who had lost her fighting ability and left her in a corner.

　Dark, meanwhile, was hiding in the fairy mist, protected only by the nine-star magical spirit "Ladymon".

　Despite being called a "guardian," LadyDevimon doesn't actually have any defensive or control-type special moves. When facing enemy attacks, all it can do is "defend by attacking."

　However, it's hard to say how effective "Ladymon" will be if the opponent chooses to avoid battle.

　Because the insect demons summoned by Charles are all extremely fast. And speed means having the initiative.

　Therefore, Dark Knight is currently at a significant disadvantage.

　Once Charles controls two "Insect Demons" to launch a joint attack, it will be extremely difficult for him to survive that terrifying onslaught.

　Dark was aware of this, so he kept it hidden, preparing to use the "Single Sword Sheath" and the "Uninterrupted Blink Spell" to buy time and plan his escape route.

　Fortunately, he launched a decisive attack, destroying the "Insect Demon Nest" and cutting off Charles's chance to hatch more sixth-tier insect demons.

　That "Insect Demon Nest" clearly possesses the effect of a "Gate of Fusion." As long as it exists, Charles can continuously fuse low-star Insect Demons into high-star Insect Demons.

　From three stars to six stars, from six stars to nine stars, from nine stars to twelve stars. As long as you pair it with the right deck, you can maximize the potential of "Insect Nest".

　In addition, Charles's Bug Monster deck clearly synergizes with the "Graveyard," possessing the ability to "revive the dead."

　These are all points that must be guarded against.

　Dark's mind raced, but his heart remained completely calm.

　The "Thunder Cloud's" "Heart of Thor" is about to enter its second phase.

　When "Heart of Thor" enters the second stage, the three attributes of "Thundercloud" will be comprehensively improved, and the special moves "Thunderstorm" and "100,000 Volts" will also be enhanced.

　At that time, "Thundercloud" will definitely have an advantage in all three attributes, and as long as "Lightning Strike" is activated, it can regain the speed advantage.

　In fact, the "Thundercloud's" electric-type ultimate move was designed as a deterrent from the very beginning. For Charles, it was like a "Sword of Damocles" hanging over his head, posing a great threat.

　That's why Charles sent the "Bee Mantis Demon" to keep an eye on the "Thunder Cloud". Even after the "Bee Mantis Demon" successfully kept an eye on the "Thunder Cloud", it still wasn't enough, so he also sent the "Armored Ant Demon" to protect it.

　That's how great the threat "Thunder Cloud" posed to him.

　Charles's own speed was also extremely fast, but even that couldn't outrun a lightning strike. If it weren't for the "Mantis Bee Demon" keeping an eye on him, a single lightning strike from the "Thunder Cloud" would be enough to send him on his way.

　Therefore, Charles must not be at ease either.

　The duel between the immortals has continued to this point.

　Charles had the upper hand on the surface, but only on the surface.

　If he wants to turn his advantage into a winning position, he has no choice but to gamble.

　Because the "Insect Nest" has been destroyed, he is unable to create a new sixth-tier magical spirit.

　The phased enhancement of "Thundercloud" is not a secret. Even if Dark did not use it during the day, the mage could make a judgment by the rapidly rising concentration of electric elements around him.

　From the moment the "Thunder Cloud" is summoned, every thirty seconds marks a new milestone, a death knell in itself.

　"We must end the game as soon as possible!"

　Charles frowned deeply, his expression grave, showing no joy despite the apparent advantage.

　"Di!"

　A new round has finally begun.

　Charles's eyes flashed with the projections of the two newly acquired magic cards, and he suddenly gave the order to launch a strong attack on "Ant-Demon"!

　He now has two choices.

　One approach is to launch a strong attack on the "Thunder Cloud".

　With two sixth-tier insect demons launching a combined attack, "Thundercloud" would definitely not have time to unleash "Lightning Strike" on him.

　He can also ensure that he is not instantly killed by the "God Card".

　However, sending both sixth-tier magical spirits to attack "Thundercloud" would essentially free Dark Demon from the threat of sixth-tier magical spirits.

　He had to withstand Dark's attack until the two insect demons killed "Thunder Cloud" and returned.

　The second option is to launch a strong attack on Dark.

　"Bee Mantis" continued to press "Thunder Cloud", while "Armor Ant" launched a fierce attack on Dark, using this sixth-tier magic spirit card to end the game as quickly as possible.

　However, making this choice means paying attention to the movements of the "Thunder Cloud" and gambling your life on the abilities of the "Bee Mantis Demon".

　Otherwise, if he's not careful, he'll be the one to die first.

　This choice makes it easier to end the game, either by ending the opponent or by ending yourself!

　Charles chose the second option!

　"Use the ultimate move, 'Exploding Shell'!"

　With a single hand, he drew a new magic card from the duel disk, and quickly gave the order.

　After receiving his command, the "Ant Demon" immediately lowered its arms to gather its strength.

　As the black light appeared, the muscles of the "Armored Ant Demon" expanded instantly, and the black carapace it wore burst open in that instant.

　The "Ant Demon" was shrouded in layers of faint black light.

　Its sharp and fierce eyes stared intently at the opposite side. Suddenly, its lower limbs exerted force, and the entire magical spirit transformed into a jet-black arrow, instantly traversing the distance and flying into the fairy mist.

　He retreated swiftly, simultaneously summoning the magic cards in his hand. Three seconds.

　In just three seconds, he can activate his hand and gain the ability to avoid combat for a short period of time.

　Everyone, both on and off the field, was watching this scene intently. Charles's decision was made in an instant.

　He stepped out of the smoke and dust, paused briefly, and then gave the order.

　After the "Armored Ant Demon" opens its carapace, the energy ejected from the gaps in the carapace greatly increases its attack and speed, while its defense decreases accordingly.

　It shifted from defense to offense, displaying a terrifying momentum.

　...

　Dark was surrounded by fairy mist, and in an instant he sensed the intrusion of the "Armored Ant Demon".

　He immediately released his senses, confirmed that there was a spatial singularity nearby, and that the teleportation coordinates were still in the fairy mist, so he stepped onto it without hesitation.

　The next instant, he appeared on the other side of the fairy mist.

　LadyDevimon, who was unable to escape in time, was subjected to a fierce attack by Antmon!

　The vision-obstructing effect of the fairy mist doesn't seem to be significant. The "Armored Ant Demon" didn't lose its way due to the visual obstruction. Its power in its "Exploding Carapace" state is extremely terrifying.

　LadyDevimon only had time to use Mind Flay (Elysium) on it before it was knocked away by its head!

　However, "Mind Whip" at least slowed down the impact of "Ant-Demon's" dump truck, preventing "Demon" from being instantly killed.

　Meanwhile, the "Ant Demon," having endured LadyDevimon's [Mind Lash (Ecstasy)], suddenly knelt down, its face contorted in a mixture of pain and ecstasy.

　—LadyDevimon's Mind Whip (Elysium) strikes the heart, whipping the opponent with a painful yet pleasurable experience, causing them to forever sink into a cycle of pain and ecstasy!

　Even though the "Ant Demon" had no mind, it was still brought to a standstill by the effect of this ultimate move.

　These few seconds of pause are quite precious.

　Dark used his mental power and the power of Elysium, along with LadyDevimon, to unleash [Mental Lash (Elysium)], so that the abnormal effect of this ultimate move could take effect even when the two were of vastly different strengths.

　At this critical moment, he immediately used a normal summoning spell to summon "Gabumon".

　Without hesitation, he connected with it through a bond, infusing it with his heart and the power of bliss, causing it to undergo a super evolution!

　The person reacted instantly—with prior notice and action.

　Detailed arrangements.

　Using [Mind Whip (Elysium)] on the "Ant-Demon" that rushed into the fairy mist is just one part of the process.

　After ensuring she was not dead, LadyDevimon stepped into one of the spatial singularities while being knocked away.

　Then, remaining in the same position as when it was knocked away, it appeared not far behind the "Ant Demon".

　In the instant she brushed past "Ant-Demon" again, "LadyDevimon" unleashed another deadly attack on it—"Dark Poison"!

　"Dark Poison" can convert the opponent's power into dark energy, killing the enemy from within.

　The stronger the opponent, the more powerful the "Dark Poison" will be.

　"Antmon" is a dark-attribute insect species, but the dark power within it is not pure and is far inferior to that of "LadyDevimon".

　The dark power was detonated from within, its power terrifying beyond measure.

　Beyond the Fairy Mist.

　Charles almost immediately noticed the sudden drop in the "Ant Demon's" magic power.

　He remained calm and released the normal summoning spell, successfully summoning and activating the magic card "Dark Fountain"!

　"Dark Source" is a spell card.

　Its magical effect is to forcibly inject incredibly pure dark power into the body of a dark-type magical spirit, causing its power to increase explosively in a short period of time.

　—The smaller the target force, the greater the growth.

　Therefore, "Dark Source" has limited effect on the two insect demons in the sixth tier of the Twelve Stars.

　But what Charles wanted wasn't the enhanced effect of the "Dark Source." He wanted a massive vortex overflowing with dark power to actually be summoned.

　The vortex was pitch black and deep, hanging at its top, with dark power constantly gushing out, like a black hole.

　By standing beneath the "Dark Spring," Charles effectively blocked the attack path above him, preventing the "Thunder Cloud" from unleashing "lightning strikes" upon him for the time being.

　His face was ashen, appearing even more so under the dark light of the "source of darkness."

　The "Ant Demon's" attack missing was within his expectations.

　But to his surprise, the "Ant Demon" failed to follow up with a second attack after its first missed.

　He was temporarily unable to precisely control the "Ant-Demon's" every move through mental synchronization. Therefore, he could only issue various commands to the "Ant-Demon" through techniques such as telepathy.

　This caused the "Ant Demon's" actions to be delayed.

　Although the lag is extremely short, it cannot be ignored in a duel of this magnitude.

　Therefore, he also pre-installed multiple instructions to allow "Ant Demon" to execute them seamlessly.
