And at this time.
"Speaking of which...I should throw this card out again."
"Discard——the proliferating G!"
Like being struck by lightning!
Even with a disgusting insect brain, everyone could see shock, confusion and suspicion on his face.
"Shit... This card is clearly just a low-star monster with no combat power, why does it feel so scary?" The people in the Welfare Department exclaimed.
"Stop talking. After watching this game, I want to open the card pack from the Security Department..."
The onlookers all felt the same way, let alone Lawrence?
At this moment, his heart was full of doubts and hesitations.
How to do?
How to win?
His cards are so powerful, how can I resist?
However, when he thought about himself sitting in front of the TV and the person he admired, the hero that he and his brother regarded as an idol, now becoming so decadent, Lawrence's originally deflated anger suddenly became several times stronger.
How can we tolerate such pests living in the world? !
"My turn!" Lawrence pulled out the card viciously. He took a look and the black, ominous aura on the card was already as real as substance.
The gentleman named Pluto signed a "contract" with him. As Pluto's "experimental subject", he could obtain Pluto's power and even get the cards given by Pluto to enhance his own power.
Among them, the [Power of the Mystery] is the contract that was activated...
A twisted contract.
At this moment, he can no longer stop!
"I activate the magic card, Dark World Gate!"
Behind Lawrence, a huge, pitch-black door rose up with a rumble. The door stood behind him, emitting a bit of dark power, like a gate from hell!
"While this card is on the field, the ATK and DEF of face-up Demon-Type monsters on the field increase by 300.
Additionally, once per turn, I can remove 1 Demon-Type monster from my Graveyard from play, select 1 Demon-Type monster from my hand and discard it. After that, draw 1 card from my Deck.
"I banish the Dark Territory's God of War from the Graveyard, then discard the Dark Territory's Vanguard from my hand and draw a card!"
"At the same time, the Dark World's Vanguard is Special Summoned!"
Gregor silently drew a card.
"The Dark World
Return the Vanguard to your hand and Special Summon the Dragon God of Darkness from your Graveyard!"
“Hehehehe——” The Dragon God of the dark world has returned from the underworld again.
Moreover, this time, its attack power will become three thousand!
But Gregor didn't say anything and simply drew a card.
Lawrence watched Gregor draw the cards slowly, and became more and more nervous and anxious.
"It's not over yet. I activate the Spell Card, Attraction of the Dark World! Both players draw 1 card from their decks, then choose 1 card from their hand and discard it."
Lawrence and Gregor drew cards together. Gregor made his choice and discarded another Mecha Fortress.
"Good!" Lawrence shouted excitedly when he saw the card he drew, "I'll discard the second Dragon God of the Dark Realm!"
"Then, activate its effect. If this card is discarded from your hand to the Graveyard by an effect, activate this effect targeting 1 card your opponent controls. Destroy that opponent's card!
Destroy, Mech Colonel!"
Gregor didn't seem nervous at all and casually put the mecha colonel into the cemetery.
Lawrence whispered "OK" and then looked at his hand: "You still have a face-up card, right... I activate the magic card, Thunder of Darkness!"
Thunder of Darkness, select 1 face-down card on the field and destroy it. Then, select 1 card in your hand and discard it.
"Destroy the covered card on your field!"
Gregor shrugged.
The card he has covered on the field is... Torrent Burial.
Torrent Burial: This card can be activated when a monster is Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned. Destroy all monsters on the field.
Lawrence laughed.
Destroying this kind of card is very meaningful to him.
"Then, discard Grimm, Tactician of Darkness from your hand, and activate its effect. If this card is discarded from your hand to the Graveyard by a card effect, select a Spell or Trap Card on the field and destroy it!
I will destroy the front line of your mecha troops!"
The roaring noise on the front line gradually died down.
Lawrence laughed with satisfaction: "Good! That's right!
How can a deserter like you be qualified for the [Frontline]!?"
Gregor, it doesn't matter at all.
But in his heart, he was also asking himself.
The war has ended long ago, why would I use this kind of deck?
He hates insects and is disgusted by them. What he hates most is when people use adjectives like "insect" to describe him. He absolutely cannot accept anyone putting him and insects together.
However, the mark that the war left in his heart would only be greater than he imagined.
Gregor took a long drag on his cigarette.
"I activate another Darkside Draw, and both players draw a card and discard one... I Special Summon Darkside Vanguard, then return it to my hand and Special Summon Darkside Dragon God Grafa!"
The second Grafa revived from the graveyard.
"It's no use—" Gregor whispered.
"What's the useless thing? This round, I will defeat you——"
"It's no use," Gregor went on.
"How can it be useless? I can do it!"
"Haven't you noticed yet?" Gregor finally put out his cigarette. He showed his left hand, which had been almost empty, and now was full again.
Lawrence leaned back a little.
This was the source of his nervousness and the reason why he was acting so urgently.
"Even if you destroy my monster, the mecha colonel in my graveyard that you just destroyed will be resurrected because of his own effect."
"Due to the effects of the cards, I have replenished seven or eight cards in two rounds, but you only have two or three left now. Even if you use the Dragon God to destroy my monsters, or even if you use other methods to collide with me, you will not be able to defeat me this round."
"You've already lost. When you keep trying to Special Summon to win."
Lose...lose?
If you calm down and think about it carefully, what Gregor said does make sense.
First of all, he shouldn't have wanted to destroy the "Colonel" monster when he saw it. He should have destroyed the other two monsters. Secondly, when the opponent had already thrown the multiplied G, he was too uncalm and crazy.
He had a chance to win, but seeing the proliferating G made him lose his composure!
But will understanding this make him change?
Do not--
He will only be crazier than before!
"You bastard, do you want me to be like you, to run away shamelessly like you did before, and then give up my responsibilities, give up my glory, and then live on alone!?
I will never do such a thing, even if it means death!"
His distortion became more and more serious until he completely turned into a giant longicorn.
"Look at what you look like now, Lawrence." Gregor opened his mouth and read Lawrence's name, "Look at what you look like now?
You are now a huge pest."
"Shut up!" Lawrence roared. He used his insect whiskers to play the last card, "Normal Summon, Braum, the Mad King of Darkness!"
The last monster, the last demon, the last dark world, and also... the most evil one.
Dark world.
The demon tilted its head, looked at its opponent, and laughed wildly.
Braum, the Mad King of the Dark Realm, level 4, dark attribute, demon, attack power 1800.
When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent, you can select 1 card in your hand and discard it.
If, if he could succeed in all his attacks and use the effect of Mad King to Special Summon the Vanguard in his hand, it would be enough to kill Gregor.
"Insect bodies. Very disgusting."
?
Lawrence didn't know why Gregor said that. He finally had time to look down at himself.
Is this - is this me?
This disgusting look?
"The disgusting limbs, shells, and big mouths mixed together make my scalp tingle. The tentacles that are hard to look at, and the buzzing, annoying wings...
When the war was over, I hid among the crowd, and my hands often involuntarily wanted to kill.
The war was over, we lost, and the company was broken, replaced by a new wing.
The company's transformation technology is indeed powerful. It can allow people to fly and hide in the ground, be omnipotent, enable people to exert ten times the strength, and enable people to burst out the combat effectiveness of heavy armored mechanical troops without wearing any armor.
A powerful cyborg, he is capable of killing dozens of people in an instant...
But what can these people do after the war?
They have already turned into insects. Not to mention in this world today, even in the past, only G Company would take them in.
Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting... everyone says this about us...
Lawrence.
I never wanted to be respected, and I never wanted to be a hero. It was other people who forced me and controlled me to become a hero, a puppet.
You are now like me back then."
“…………Ahhhhhhhh——————” Lawrence screamed, his voice was harsh and unpleasant to the ear. Several of the people who were finishing up the job had already turned their heads away in disgust.
Lawrence, who originally didn't believe, or rather... didn't want to believe Gregor, looked at his colleague at this time and finally realized the cruelty of the truth.
The noble profession he thought was not noble at all. Beneath the handsome transformation were the painful memories of every transformed person, and they were just garbage abandoned in the war.
However, he still didn't want to give up: "Damn it, damn it, damn it--Gregor!!!"
"Yeah." Gregor looked at his opponent resolutely, unmoved.
"If you really repent, if you really don't want those things, then give them up completely! If you lose here, give us back what you owe us!!"
Lawrence struggled to command the monsters, and the Dragon God of the Dark World roared wildly, instantly destroying the next-generation army. The endless thunder fell on Gregor, causing him to grimace in dismay.
"But unfortunately, I've already been a deserter, and the Dragon God's attacks are too painful." Gregor showed a self-proclaimed handsome smile, and took out a card handsomely, "Special Summon the Mecha Colonel from the Graveyard."
A few minutes later.
The duel is over.
Lost——
Lawrence lay on the ground, his body gradually returning to its normal human form.
Although he gained powerful strength through temporary distortion by external force, these powers were nothing to Gregor, who had seen many big scenes.
Lawrence lay on the ground, crying silently.
But at this moment, something happened that Gregor did not expect.
"Clap clap clap-"
