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

　As for now.

　Professor Kazel's hand contained only one card, the "Golden Key." The "Golden Key," when listed separately, is a mysterious item capable of opening a mysterious door and summoning the unknown.

　Its effects are highly random.

　However, if it is implanted into the body of the "Golden Cube Man", the "Golden Cube Man" can... gain divinity!

　After Professor Kazel summoned the "Golden Key," he inserted it into the vest of the "Golden Cube Man."

　The originally square "Golden Cube Man" immediately dispersed and reformed after obtaining the mysterious power of the "Golden Key".

　The part where the "golden key" is inserted first assembles into a heart, which is the "core of divine power".

　The "Golden Key" is like a wind-up key, turning clockwise once.

　The scattered blocks suddenly accelerated and reassembled in that instant. It was an angelic humanoid figure composed of countless blocks, with the "golden key" inserted on its back being particularly eye-catching.

　——【Golden Cube Human Angel Form】!

　"The fifth step..."

　Mavis frowned; this was the first time Professor Kazel had summoned a magical spirit that surpassed the fourth tier.

　Out of apprehension, he did not allow the [Beast King Divine Ox and Horse] to make any rash moves, and continued to focus on defense.

　His greatest strength lies in his deck, which is the "Beast View" that can annihilate all the magical spirits on both sides.

　No matter how powerful or mysterious the opponent is, as long as the "Beast King God" is used as a sacrifice and the "Giant Beast View" is activated, the goal of instantly wiping out the field can be achieved.

　He had examined the duel that had sent him to the loser's bracket.

　In that duel, he wasn't entirely without a chance.

　His biggest mistake was failing to capitalize on the period after activating "Beast View" to clear the field and deliver a fatal blow to his opponent.

　The reason for this is that he never thought he would need to use the "Beast View" to create an opportunity for a fatal blow.

　In other words, he was too arrogant.

　But now, having experienced the trials of failure, he is no longer as arrogant as before.

　He makes thorough preparations, then launches the "Beast View" to suddenly clear the field, and finally delivers a fatal blow to his opponent by taking advantage of their surprise. This is his way of winning!

　The script for the chief strategist has been written; now only the core prop remains—the "Behemoth View."

　Adhering to the cautious mindset that offense is prone to errors and defense is more reliable, Mavis continued to strategize.

　However, the golem circling outside the altar's barrier still needs to be dealt with.

　Under its command, the Beast King Divine Ox and Horse launched an attack on the golem and successfully destroyed it.

　This made Morpheus realize that although this modified golem possessed the special ability to restore "mutations" and a brutal finishing move that could instantly kill a nine-star magical spirit, its core structure was still within the third tier and had not undergone a qualitative change.

　He may have over-glorified his opponent.

　A renovation completed in such a short time could not possibly be perfect. Mavis's heart began to stir.

　While he was making other arrangements, he commanded the Beast King Divine Bull and Horse to unleash its ranged ultimate attack—the Bull and Horse Ray—directed towards Professor Kazel.

　Suddenly, the bull and horse of the [Beast King Divine Bull and Horse] opened their mouths wide and shot out beams of light.

　The two beams of light spun and intertwined in the air, increasing their power to 1.8 times that of a single beam, while also adding an extra effect—mental shock, which could paralyze the opponent's mind, cause them to lose their fighting spirit, and make them appear exhausted.

　This was Mavis's test, but the ultimate move she used was actually enough to instantly kill an ordinary twelve-star magical spirit.

　This is the power of the "God Card"!

　But this beam of light, which seemed to have pierced through the life of an ox or horse, was blocked by the wall of light formed by the golems before it could reach Professor Cazell.

　Then, the wall of light shattered.

　But the "Bull and Horse Ray" also instantly reversed and reflected back! Mavis's eyes widened suddenly as she saw the reflected ray strike the altar barrier.

　"boom!"

　The barrier shattered instantly!

　opposite.

　The golem was still tirelessly building up the wall of light.

　...

　The shattering of the barrier caused a certain degree of backlash against the [Beast King God Toad Mother].

　Mavis quickly ordered her to use her ultimate move. The Beast King God Toad Mother opened her huge mouth, took a deep breath, and her entire body swelled up like a ball before slowly returning to normal.

　Its magic was restored, allowing the barrier to reopen.

　Mavis couldn't understand how a light wall created by a golem could reflect the "God Card's" ultimate attack back.

　But he knew that if he fell into such confusion during the duel, he would inevitably reveal a weakness.

　Therefore, he quickly dispelled his confusion and focused entirely on the duel. In short, the wall of light was enough to reflect the "Bull and Horse Ray".

　However, the light wall itself cannot move and is clearly located on a plane, so its defense against physical attacks may be weak and it cannot reflect attacks.

　Sending the [Beast King Divine Ox and Horse] to charge directly at it at this time would have a high probability of destroying it.

　But Mavis still didn't move.

　He was like a mouse hiding in a hole, peeking tentatively out, but at the slightest disturbance, he quickly ducked back out, too afraid to come out again.

　"He has lost his courage."

　Dark said in a low voice, already condemning Mavis's duel to death in his heart.

　Even if Mavis launches a full-scale attack, she may not be able to break through Professor Cazell's defenses.

　But it's impossible for Professor Cazell to set up the game so calmly. All of Professor Cazell's actions so far have been improvisations based on the situation on the field.

　If Mavis goes all out on offense, he will have to spend more energy and resources on defense, instead of what he is doing now...

　Dark looked at the enormous golden magic circle made up of countless "golden cubes"—the "Golden Alchemy Array".

　Looking at the [Golden Cube Human Angel Form], which has been endowed with the "Divine Power Core", I have a lot of complaints I want to make, but I don't say them out loud.

　"If Mavis doesn't act soon, and the 'Golden Alchemy Array' spreads to his location, then there will be no point in taking any action at all."

　Think of this.

　Suddenly, Dak thought of the Golden King in the distant desert. He wondered how the Golden King, residing in his golden kingdom, was doing now.

　Did the maid responsible for interacting with them gift a magical television or projector?

　"＂

　"Probably, probably, haha..."

　Dak decided it was best not to think about it anymore.

　……

　The duel between Mavis and Professor Cazell continued. The rounds switched again.

　Mavis suddenly beamed with joy.

　However, instead of activating "Beast View", he activated another "Armed Card".

　That was the first time he had used a divine weapon in a duel—the "Beast God Weapon"!

　After donning the costume, Mavis's aura became ferocious, and he gained the confidence to deliver a fatal blow to his opponent after activating "Beast View" to clear the field.

　"Beast View" only works on magical spirits and will not destroy weapons or golems.

　Now that we have the "Beast God Armor," we have another piece of the puzzle to win. All that's left is to draw the "Beast View" and clear the obstacles before we do.

　First, there's that wall of light!

　"The time has finally come when we have no choice but to deal with it."

　While summoning the third "Beast King God", Mavis finally dispatched the [Beast King God Ox and Horse].

　Although the light wall caused it to stumble, it was ultimately broken through. However, after breaking through the light wall, the [Beast King Divine Ox and Horse] immediately fell into a cage made of golden blocks.

　Professor Kazel did not initiate the Golden Alchemy at this moment.

　The spread of the "Golden Alchemy Array" slowed down as it approached Mavis.

　He needs more time, or perhaps he can lure Mavis in himself.

　However, it seems that he doesn't need to do anything.

Chapter 1614 One Person, One Golden Statue (4k)

　Compared to the previous duels, the duel between Mavis and Professor Cazell was noticeably less intense.

　The entire duel was shrouded in an indescribable strangeness.

　If one cannot see through the underlying deep struggle, it will appear quite tedious on the surface, giving the impression of being constrained.

　This is not unique to Mavis. Professor Cazell also gives off a similar feeling due to his lack of "proactivity".

　Both sides are planning "later moves," focusing on "operation" in the early stages, which inevitably makes the duel less entertaining.

　But for the fighters themselves, the so-called "spectacular" aspect was worthless, and neither of them lacked "divine influence," so all they needed to do was aim for victory. However, as the rounds continued to change, the pace of the duel gradually quickened.

　Professor Kazel manipulated the golden cubes to form a cage, imprisoning the lone "Beast King God - Bull Horse" inside.

　But a cage of this size could not possibly contain "Beast King God? Ox and Horse".

　Professor Kazel clearly had this in mind. After temporarily restricting the movements of "Beast King God - Ox Horse", he immediately controlled "Golden Cube Man - Angel Form" to launch an attack.

　Suddenly, a third eye emerged from the forehead of the "Golden Cube Man - Angel Form," and a dazzling golden light emanated from that somewhat pixelated third eye.

　Immediately afterwards, a beam of light shot out, piercing through the golden cage and hitting "Beast King God - Ox and Horse".

　"Beast King God? Ox and Horse" is now spreading its arms wide, roaring angrily, trying to break through the golden cage.

　But its powerful movement was frozen in that instant. The golden beam of light shone on it, but instead of killing it, it transformed its body into a colossal golden statue!

　Professor Kazel's deck has obvious "golden" elements. Although it's not from "El Dorado," it shares some very similar characteristics. Moreover, his skill in "turning lead into gold" is significantly stronger than Dark's, a point also evident in his Magical Spirit deck.

　After being turned into a golden statue, "Beast King God - Ox and Horse" instantly lost the ability to struggle and had no chance of breaking free.

　The entire duel arena fell silent. A "God Card" was sealed with a finishing move.

　The "Golden Cube Man - Angel Form" demonstrated its power from the very first move.

　Even the "God Card" cannot be immune to its special ability to "purify" everything into gold, making it even more terrifying.

　If no countermeasure can be found, this move can almost completely shut down all players who rely on a single "God Card" to become powerful.

　But he was now facing Mavis, who possessed multiple "God Cards".

　Even a special move that is only a "God Card" upgrade to the level of L5 team will inevitably have a long cooldown.

　"Golden Cube Man - Angel Form" can no longer unleash a second "Midas Touch" ultimate move in a row.

　Since there's always going to be a "God Card" that has to suffer, why can't it be a cow or a horse?

　The only pity is that it was turned into a golden statue, which prevented it from displaying the immortality of the "Beast King God - Ox and Horse".

　However, it was absorbed by Wei Shouxiangren, who was not actually dead.

　However, at the same time, although the "Beast King God - Ox and Horse" was turned into gold, its value as a special offering still existed.

　Mavis could easily offer it as a sacrifice, (to the observer).

　From this perspective, Mavis suffered almost no loss.

　Therefore, it's not that he can't accept it.

　Mavis was fully armed and possessed a divine and transcendent aura, with the "Beast Blood Spear" in his hand secretly gathering power.

　The third "Beast King God" he summoned was "Beast King God? Elephant Tiger". This "Beast King God", possessing the power of the elephant god and the ferocity of the tiger god, radiated divine light, forming a crystal-like barrier. It was a defensive ultimate move called "Ten Elephants and Nine Tigers' Boundary".

　The "Ten Elephants and Nine Tigers Realm" is a self-contained domain that not only strengthens its power defense but also grants it an additional layer of immunity to transformation-type ultimate techniques.

　This is also a magical spirit that excels in close combat and overwhelms its opponents with sheer numerical superiority.

　Theoretically, it should be the nemesis of all kinds of unpredictable tactics. However, this overly simplistic value system cannot be applied to Professor Cazell.

　The golden transformation of "Beast King God? Ox and Horse" is yet another proof. However, once the arrow is released, there's no turning back.

　Although Mavis's mindset has changed dramatically compared to the past, she still does not forget the importance of timing.
