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

　She had completely seen through Professor Cazell's tactics.

　However, she currently lacked the means to destroy the demonic shadow. Therefore, she could only switch her attacks to the "Golden Sphinx" and the "Golden-Eyed Sphinx." She knew very well that doing so would only provide materials for the "Golden Forge."

　—But if we don’t do that, the “Giant Commander” and the “Mountain Giant King” will be completely turned into gold and become materials for the “Golden Forge” as well.

　Choose the lesser of two evils.

　At this point, attacking the "Golden Sphinx with Human-Faced Body" and the "Golden-Eyed Sphinx" was the only decision it could make.

　"boom!"

　The "City Giant" threw a punch at the "Golden Sphinx".

　With the passive buff of "King of Giants", this single punch shattered the "Golden Sphinx" to pieces!

　But suddenly a beam of golden light shot out from the "Magic Pot" barrier, wrapped around the "Giant Commander," and pulled him into the "Golden Furnace."

　The "Giant Commander" has not yet been fully goldized.

　But Professor Kazel still managed to grab it and forcibly refine it. Unfortunately, the "King of the Mountain Giants" was far superior in rank. Otherwise, if he had refined the "King of the Mountain Giants" on the spot, this duel would have been possible!

　Professor Cazell's abilities exceeded Professor Jones's expectations, and alarm bells rang in her mind. Finally, she couldn't help but take action herself.

　A burst of golden light flashed beneath her feet, and she seemed to transform into a golden spear, instantly piercing the center line and charging into Professor Kazel's half of the court. Golden flowers bloomed from the tip of the golden spear in her hand, and an extremely special power erupted instantly, giving the spear the characteristic of "always hitting its target".

　With this thrust, the demonic shadow will surely be shattered!

　However, just as the tip of her spear was about to strike the demonic shadow, her figure froze instantly, and even the speed at which her thoughts were processing slowed down considerably.

　In its own perception, everything was normal, except that the speed outside its body had increased relatively, to an unbelievable degree.

　However, a moment later, she broke free from that state of frozen time, her whole body covered in cold sweat as if she had collapsed.

　She had already returned to her own territory, and what remained "frozen" in the air in her place was a faint phantom.

　That is the "Phantom Substitute Puppet".

　Before launching her attack, she had already deployed a "phantom substitute puppet." If anything unusual happened, this "phantom substitute puppet" would automatically activate and rescue her.

　She had guessed earlier that Professor Cazell must have a backup plan, but she was just betting that he hadn't drawn the "Clockwork Throne" yet.

　If she wins the bet, as long as it's not the "Clockwork Throne," she's confident she can adapt to the situation.

　If the gamble fails, it means consuming one "Phantom Substitute Puppet". However, before she had a clear test, she wasn't actually sure if the "Phantom Substitute Puppet" would work.

　But if it fails to work, the impulsive action just now will destroy it. "City Giant!"

　If you can't avoid it, then there's no need to avoid it anymore!

　Having survived a deadly crisis, Professor Jones became even more decisive. She clenched her fist, and the "City Giant," under her command, attacked the "Golden-Eyed Sphinx," instantly killing it.

　Then, she quickly drew a card and summoned "The Right Arm of the Giant Emperor"!

　Within the "Magic Pot" barrier.

　When Professor Jones escaped, Professor Cazell knew that he no longer had the chance to refine the "King of the Mountain Giants".

　Without further hesitation, he decisively ended the smelting process and abruptly opened the "Golden Furnace"!

Chapter 1636 The Shadow of the Kingdom, The Fall of the Giant (4k)

　After absorbing the "Giant Commander", the materials accumulated in the "Golden Forge" are sufficient.

　Unfortunately, Professor Jones acted too decisively, instantly killing both the "Golden Sphinx with Human Face and Body" and the "Golden-Eyed Sphinx," leaving no time to retrieve and refine them.

　However, these two magical spirits are not the key to this forging process. With the twelve-star giant—the "Giant Commander"—as the core reference, it is already sufficient.

　Although "Giant Commander" is only a regular Tier 4 12 Star, its ultimate skill mechanism is very powerful and it fits well with Professor Kazel's Golden Deck.

　Although their rank is not high enough, if they can achieve the ultimate in "material accumulation", they may have a chance to fight against the "King of Mountain Giants" and the "Right Arm of the Giant Emperor"!

　Therefore, Professor Cazell did not hesitate any longer and melted all the materials in a very short time before suddenly opening the furnace!

　Then the lid of the furnace popped open, and golden light burst forth, like a screen, reflecting a golden hue throughout the entire "Magic Pot" barrier.

　Professor Kazel pressed down harder, and instantly more than a dozen transmutation arrays unfolded layer by layer, with halos of light flowing endlessly.

　A terrifying and vast aura gradually erupted. Suddenly, a river of golden light condensed and emerged from the "Golden Furnace," landing on the ground with a faint roar. It evolved into a huge golden magic array, and a magnificent humanoid figure rose from the ground, attracting countless eyes.

　That was a "golden giant" with a golden color all over its body, and it was more than ten meters tall when it was born.

　And under the continuous influx of golden torrents, the height and size of the "golden giant" increased wildly, quickly surpassing twenty meters, thirty meters... until it finally stopped at nearly forty meters!

　At this moment, the giant's shadow even seemed to break through the "Magic Pot" barrier and return to the surface world.

　Separated from the surface world by a hazy shadow, it stands at one end of the arena, gazing at the "King of the Mountain Giants" from afar.

　Judging solely from height and build, this "Golden Giant" is still a notch shorter than the "King of Mountain Giants".

　However, this height difference is not enough to trigger the passive enhancement of "King of Giants".

　Both sides are now on the same level.

　However, the appearance of the "King of Mountain Giants" comes with its own field effect, making him and the field one with each other. His momentum is huge and his pressure is terrifying, far surpassing that of the "Golden Giant".

　There is still a significant gap between the two sides in terms of their social standing.

　The "Golden Giant" created by Professor Kazel can only be described as a product of piling on the best materials possible.

　It uses the "Giant Commander" as its core reference, and the "Golden Giant" that is finally created is not the "King of Giants". It can only make its size as large as possible to offset the passive gap of the "King of Giants".

　Then, using the "Giant Commander's" unique ability to draw power from "friendly" units on the field, its three stats are greatly increased.

　There's nothing wrong with the plan itself.

　However, once it is actually presented, it will be discovered that the trigger condition for the "Golden Giant's" ultimate move is not "Golden" or "Giant", but rather "Golden" and "Giant".

　To be considered "one of its own," a character must simultaneously meet the conditions of "gold" and "giant."

　This means it cannot draw power from the "golden" magical spirit.

　Professor Cazell did not possess any other "Golden Giant" besides it. This nearly caused the plan to fail.

　Professor Kazel immediately ordered the "Golden Giant" to use its ultimate move, "Legion Descent".

　Fortunately, the giants summoned by the "Legion's Descent" were also influenced by the "Golden Giants," possessing both the elements of "gold" and "giant."

　These "Golden Giant Soldiers" can finally provide bonuses to the "Golden Giant's" three stats.

　In addition, the base stats of the "Golden Giant" are already higher than those of the "Giant Commander", so the final result is quite good.

　Unlike Professor Jones, Professor Cazell did not send the "Golden Giant Soldiers" to their deaths.

　Instead, he protected these "Golden Giant Soldiers" and then ordered the "Golden Giants" to step out of the protective range of the "Magic Pot" barrier and officially join the battlefield.

　The "Golden Giant," which has been forged with great difficulty, is certainly not going to be left as a decoration; now is the time to test its power!

　The battle between the "King of the Mountain Giants" and the "Golden Giant" was, without a doubt, a simple clash of fists, a collision of bodies, and a pure contest of strength.

　Without the stat boost from its size difference, the "King of Mountain Giants" is indeed significantly weaker. However, it remains an undeniably powerful monster in terms of stats.

　Whether it's the base passive bonus of "King of Giants" or the effect bonus from its own terrain, it can gain power far exceeding that of a typical twelve-star magical spirit.

　But the "Golden Giant" is no less formidable.

　The "Golden Giant" did not draw his sword, but he was already on par with the opponent in hand-to-hand combat.

　This is the first time since the "King of Mountain Giants" was summoned that he has encountered an opponent capable of confronting him head-on.

　Professor Jones, with a serious expression, did not sit idly by and watch the two giants fight. Instead, he suddenly ordered the "City Giant" to charge forward, grab the "Golden Giant," and pull it back towards Professor Cazell's half of the field.

　Then, the "Castle Giant" instantly unleashed its ultimate attack—"Total Destruction"!

　Amidst the deafening explosion that shook the entire arena, the "Golden Giant" was blasted to pieces. Even the "Golden Giant" could not withstand the self-destruction of the [City Giant]. But now that the "Golden Giant" had been forged, Professor Kazel could not so easily allow it to leave the stage.

　He had already summoned the "Golden Cube" in advance, and used the alchemical tools transformed from the "Alchemy Beast" to cut the "Golden Cube" into countless pieces.

　The golden cubes flew out from the "magic pot" barrier and surged towards the shattered "golden giant" like a tide, repairing it completely in a short time.

　Professor Jones, however, simultaneously activated the "Giant Corpse Worm" to revive the "City Giant".

　Then, the resurrected "City Giant" is offered as a sacrifice to initiate the sacrificial summoning.

　She finally summoned her ultimate trump card—"The Right Arm of the Giant Emperor"!

　With the appearance of "the right arm of the giant emperor", the aura and pressure of all giants were suppressed.

　Professor Kazel could clearly sense that the "Golden Giant" was also affected, and its true combat power was suppressed.

　"not enough."

　In that instant, he realized that the "Golden Giant" alone could not defeat the "Right Arm of the Giant Emperor." It could only reach the height of the "King of Mountain Giants" at most; to defeat the "Right Arm of the Giant Emperor," it needed much more modification!

　"Draw a card!"

　"In the name of Kazel, I summon the 'Heart of Gold'!" With the 'Heart of Gold' in hand, Professor Kazel stepped directly out of the 'Magic Pot' barrier.

　Then, in a flash, he suddenly appeared above the "Golden Giant's" head.

　He stood atop the "Golden Giant" and slammed the "Golden Heart" into it.

　At the same time, the tentacles transformed from the "Alchemy Beast" were inserted into the body of the "Golden Giant" along with the implantation of the "Golden Heart".

　A mysterious and unpredictable aura quietly emanated, and countless circuits instantly appeared on the surface of the "Golden Giant's" skin.

　"King of the Mountain Giants!"

　Faced with Professor Cazell's overly obvious intentions, Professor Jones did not hesitate to command the "King of the Mountain Giants" to launch an offensive.

　Even though she knew Professor Cazell had activated the "Clockwork Throne," it wasn't entirely invincible.

　The "King of the Mountain Giants" unleashed his full power under his command. The "Golden Giant" was undergoing modifications and was unable to move.

　Its defense is not as good as its offense; if it is hit head-on without being able to parry, it will inevitably be injured.

　But as soon as the "King of Mountain Giants" got close, his massive body suddenly stopped in place, moving forward at a very slow speed that was barely perceptible to the naked eye.

　"The right arm of the Giant Emperor!"

　Professor Jones showed no fear and immediately commanded the "Right Arm of the Giant Emperor" to join the attack.

　Both "King of the Mountain Giants" and "Right Arm of the Giant Emperor" are ranked in the fifth tier. However, the latter's fifth tier status is only superficially apparent.

　Once it encounters suppression from a level above the fifth tier, the hidden mystery behind it will be activated, unleashing incredible power.

　The [Clockwork Throne] involves the laws of time. But since ancient times, the concept of "breaking the law with force" has always existed.

　The Primal Giants are a prime example of "breaking the law with brute force".

　Just as exceeding the second cosmic velocity allows one to escape Earth's gravity, when pure force surpasses a certain limit, it also has the power to shatter the laws of nature.

　"The right arm of the giant emperor" must be able to break through the time law restrictions.

　—But it will take some time!

　The more units affected by the "Clockwork Throne" effect, the higher the load on the "Clockwork Throne" will be.

　Therefore, she first used "King of the Mountain Giants" to hold the line, and then sent "Right Arm of the Giant Emperor" to charge forward, thus further reducing the time required to break through its law restrictions.

　Although during this process, both the "King of the Mountain Giants" and the "Right Arm of the Giant Emperor" were suppressed by the laws of time and became immobile targets.

　However, the "Golden Giant," capable of breaking through these two giants, is also being modified.

　This is a flaw that Professor Kazel cannot avoid.

　Professor Jones perfectly seized the opportunity presented by this opening. The contest between the two had reached its climax.

　The final outcome may hinge on a single, crucial factor in this final stage.

　"boom!"

　The Emperor of Giants' right arm moved first!

　Its time limit, restricted by the "Clockwork Throne," is incredibly short.

　Within two instants, a terrifying pressure descended, freeing it from the constraints of the laws of time.

　This right arm, even larger than the "King of Mountain Giants," after a very brief pause, suddenly burst forth, breaking through numerous obstacles and slamming into the "Golden Giant's" chest.

　"boom!"

　The Golden Giant's formidable defense crumbled in that instant. No giant could withstand the oppressive aura of the Giant Emperor.

　The "right arm of the Giant Emperor" pierced through the chest and abdomen of the "Golden Giant," creating a huge crescent-shaped gash.

　Even with countless gold blocks flying in to repair it, the huge gap showed no sign of being repaired.
