Yu-Gi-Oh!: Fake Hanno, missing arms and legs at the beginning

"...I will activate the Field Spell [Magic Bell Hole]. Due to the effect of this card, if the number of monsters on your opponent's field is greater than the number of monsters you control, your opponent cannot activate the effects of monsters, nor declare an attack."

A yellow-brown magic circle, the same as Krude's, rose under the feet of the monsters on Hanno's field. They were enveloped by a strange magical power born from the magic circle, which emitted a colorful halo, illuminating the dim stalactite cave with unusual brightness.

“Hiss… [Devil Bell Cave]? I didn’t expect it to be [Devil Bell Cave], [Devil Bell Cave] is a banned card…”

Han Nuo really didn't expect that the big guy opposite him who looked so impressive was actually a ruthless person who played with the [Magic Bell Cave].

Without [Wind] or [Feather Broom], how could he expect to go through the [Magic Bell Cave] with his head?

"Then I end the Battle Phase and enter Main Phase 2. I cover 2 cards and the turn ends."

You still have to cover the card. What if the opponent thinks it is an attack and dare not attack? Then you can survive for another round, right?

"At this moment, I will end the display of [Lord of the Celestial Prison]. Then it will be my turn. Due to the effect of [Reckless Greed], I cannot draw cards this turn. I will Normal Summon [Steel Drone]."

[Steel Drill Dragon] Mechanical Dark Attribute / 4* / ATK1600 / DEF1100

The strange mechanical creatures are covered with extremely solid drills, and no one knows what kind of energy drives those drills.

Cluder raised his staff and swung it fiercely: "It's time to fight. When there are only face-up monsters with 1600 or more ATK on your field, [Steel Drill Dragon] can attack directly. [Steel Drill Dragon] launches a direct attack on Hano."

[Steel Drill Dragon] activated all the drills on its body, and the drills that broke through the sky charged towards Han Nuo.

"It's not that easy. Cybertron Quantum Dragon means that as long as there is a Link Monster on my field, you cannot select any card other than this card as an attack target or effect target, so the only attack target of Steel Drill Dragon is Cybertron Quantum Dragon."

[Electronic Quantum Dragon] roared, forcibly broke free from the restraints of the same magic circle as Krude, and used its huge body to block [Steel Drill Dragon] and Hano, blocking the charge of [Steel Drill Dragon] and taking on the attack of [Steel Drill Dragon].

"When the equipped monster declares an attack for battle, put 1 Magic Counter on this card. The equipped monster's ATK and DEF increase by the number of Magic Counters on this card x 500."

[Cybertron Quantum Dragon] ATK2500→3000

[Electronic Quantum Dragon] DEF2000→2500

With the power of protection, the [Electronic Quantum Dragon] spewed out a breath far stronger than ever before, completely melting the mechanical [Steel Drill Dragon], and the molten residue splashed on Krude's robe.

Crude LP4000→2600

Shaking off his robe, Cludd said calmly, "It seems that I was careless. Then I will end the battle, reveal [King of Hell] again, and then cover 3 cards. The turn ends."

"It's my turn, draw a card!"

The first card I got was [Bad Star, Bad Beast, Xiziqielu], which didn't seem to have much effect on the current situation.

Han Nuo looked at the [Magic Bell Cave] on the field with a worried look on his face. It was so frustrating that he couldn't activate the monster effect.

He didn't have [Black Hole] or [Disturbed Beast Sleep], so if he wanted to forcibly create the same number of monsters, he couldn't guarantee that he would survive the next round.

Han Nuo always felt very conflicted, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he carefully read the effect of his field magic [World of Evil - Fear World].

Its effect is: When you have 3 or more monsters in Defense Position on your field, you can activate this card by targeting 1 card on your opponent's field. Destroy that card.

Then the key lies in how to create at least 3 monsters in defense position.

"Enter the Standby Phase, enter the Main Phase 1, I activate the Quick-Play Spell [Ultra Hippo Carnival], and according to the effect of this card, I select 3 [Entertainment Partner Exploring Hippo] from my deck and Special Summon it in Attack Position. After that, I Special Summon [Hippo Tokens] on my field in Defense Position. These tokens cannot be released. As long as the [Hippo Tokens] exist in the Monster Zone, I cannot Special Summon monsters from my Extra Deck."

[Entertainment Partner Hippo Exploration] Beast / Earth Attribute / 3 Stars / ATK800 / DEF800

[Hippopotamus Derivative] Beast / Earth Attribute / 1 Star / ATK 0 / DEF 0

"Then activate the effect of [World of Terror], and if you control 3 or more monsters in Defense Position, destroy 1 card on your field. Of course, the one I want to destroy is [Magic Bell Hole]."

Countless cracks appeared in the rock wall at some point in time. The green light overflowing from the cracks completely eroded Krude's magic circle, and even the array diagram and patterns were difficult to maintain.

"I chain your field effect, and I activate [Reckless Greed], then activate the effect of [Lord of the Heavenly Prison], and then chain activate [Accumulated Happiness], and then chain activate the second [Reckless Greed]."

C1【肆世坏-恐惧世界】C2【无谋的贪欲】C3【天狱之王】C4【积累的幸福】C5【无谋的贪欲】,连锁逆结算。

"First, I deal with the effect of [Reckless Greed]. I draw 2 cards."

Number of cards in Crud's hand: 1 → 3

"Then deal with the effect of [Accumulated Happiness], and I draw 2 more cards."

Number of cards in Crud's hand: 3 → 5

"After that, if you deal with the effect of [King of Hell], and activate a Set Spell or Trap Card, you can Special Summon this card from your hand."

[King of the Heavenly Prison] Rock Tribe/Dark Attribute/10 Stars/ATK3000/DEF3000

"When you activate the effect of [Heavenly Lord] Special Summoned while your hand is revealed, you can also set 1 Spell or Trap Card from your Deck on your side of the field. I set 1 [Chain Blast]. Banish that card during the End Phase of the next turn."

"Finally, I deal with the effect of the first card, [Reckless Greed], and I draw two more cards."

Number of cards in Crud's hand: 4 → 6

"If you activated these cards during the battle phase, I really don't have any good solutions, but now, the game is over." Hanuo smiled, "Release the [King of Hell] on your field and Special Summon [Bad Star Bad Beast Xiziqiel] in Attack Position on your field."

[Bad Star Bad Beast Xiziqielu] Mechanical / Light Attribute / 10 Stars / ATK3300 / DEF2600

"Activate Normal Spell [Flash Absorption], select a face-up Light Monster [Bad Star Bad Beast Sizikiel] on your field. Increase the ATK of all face-up Attack Position monsters on your field until the End Phase by the ATK of the selected monster."

Claude was surprised and asked, "What? That means the attack power of all monsters in attack position on your field will increase by 3300 points?"

[Paladin's Recollection Isolde] ATK1600→4900

[Electronic Quantum Dragon] 3000→6300

[Entertainment Partner Hippo Hunt] 800→4100

Sensing victory was imminent, Han Nuo felt extremely excited: "Let's fight. [Entertainment Partner Exploring Hippo] attacks [Bad Star Bad Beast Xiziqieru] and uses the Ultimate Invincible Big Charge!"

It was unexpected that Han Nuo came up with the idea of ​​using his body to hit the machine.

[Searching for Hippopotamus] With a dark face, he rushed out without any emotion. Anyway, as long as there was a collision, it would be fine!

It doesn't matter whether he is ultimate invincible or not, right?

Then, the strongest bad beast——【Bad Star Bad Beast Xiziqielu】fell.

He fell under the charge of a hippopotamus.

Crude LP2600→1800

Han Nuo shouted recklessly as if he was drunk: "Next is the direct attack of the [Electronic World Quantum Dragon], the Ultimate Volt Thunder Flash!"

[Quantum Dragon of the Electronic World] turned his head and looked at Han Nuo. When did he learn such a skill that sounded so cool?

How is he supposed to fight this?

It was the hippo's few "grunts" that reminded the [Quantum Dragon of the Electronic World]. He rushed over with sudden realization, turned on all the light effects behind him, and faced Hanno in the direction of the sun as bright as possible. Then he coughed twice at Crowder as an attack.

Then he finished his work as a matter of course and went back into the card.

Crude LP1800→0

Looking at the [War Eliminator] and [Quick Attack Scarecrow] in his hand, Crowder just smiled helplessly and silently put the cards used in this duel back into the deck.

Han Nuo showed his standard eight-tooth smile and gave Crowder a thumbs up.

"You won, it was a pleasant duel!"

"Hanoi, being able to control a monster with an attack power of 6300 points is enough to prove your strength. You are qualified to enter the [Dreamland], but you still need to hone your skills. If you want to leave the [Dreamland] safely, I will tell you some information about the [Dreamland] next. Most of these things are told by the only human who came back here sober. You need to judge for yourself whether they are true or not."

Han Nuo listened carefully, as this information was crucial to his next actions.

“The Dreamlands are divided into four continental regions, each named after its cardinal direction.

The most populous place is the western region. The largest city in the Dreamland is the [Military Station 『Sea Stack』]. The remaining important cities are roughly:

The coastal trading city——[Magic Sea City Aegaion].

The central city on the sea——[Ghost Rock City].

Floating mobile city——【Fuyue City】.

The city that belongs to cats - Holy Fire City.

A city that belongs to dogs - Haoyue City.

It is said that in Haoyue City, which is the lair of the dogs, there are several passages leading to the outside world.

After entering the [Dreamland] from the current path entrance, you will arrive at the [Closed Forest] where the western region and the southern region meet. It is said that the connected space in the [Closed Forest] is connected to a forest somewhere in the real world, but the little guys living there are not friendly.

The southern region is mostly oceans and islands. Here is the largest island in the Dreamland - [Duel Academy], as well as the famous [Super Magic Base Daba Base] and a large group of [Island Turtles].

The eastern region is basically uninhabited, except for the [Enchanted City of Night], which was created by [Dean Kate] when she was young. Outside of that is basically a dangerous area and is not allowed to enter.

The northern region is called [Touhuanxiang], which is covered with ice and snow all year round. There lives a group of fantasy dragons, most of whom make a living by mining. It is said that the deepest part of the north is the residence of the dream gods, and their leader is called [Neiros], who is said to know everything about [Fantasy Dreamland].

It is said that the underground of Dreamland is also very lively. The dogs living in Haoyue know the way to the underground. You need to explore the specific information yourself.

The next place you can go is the moon. It is said that there are many races living there, and there are ships heading there from many ports.

It is said that if you build a good relationship with cats, they can take you to where you want to go.

This is the general situation. As for the reality of the [Dreamland], you have to explore it yourself.

That’s all I know, I hope it helps.”

After thinking for a while, Han Nuo suddenly asked: "What should I do if I want to find [Neiros]?"

Crowder smiled and said, "Have you noticed? The humans who came here before, no matter what their status in the real world was, they came here because they were powerful dreamers. The dream gods coveted the dreamers' abilities and connected with the real world through a magical mirror. People who were addicted to dreams could not distinguish between reality and dreams, and were eventually transformed into dream creatures. This is why I said that only three humans have returned here over the years."

"If I stay here for too long, will I become a dream creature? That won't do. I haven't enjoyed my time as a human yet, so I can't give up my human identity easily. Also, can you tell me the information about the person who hasn't gone crazy?"

"That person calls herself Dean Kate, and she is the builder of the Eastern Region's Enchanting City That Never Sleeps that I mentioned earlier. She should have given up everything in the real world and is living there permanently with her companions. If you were to ask who is most likely to know about the Dream Gods, then Dean Kate should be your first choice."

"Do you have any other news about the Dream Gods?"

"The Dream Gods are protected by a being called the Black Pharaoh. If you tell the outside world that you want to find the Dream Gods, you will most likely be targeted by the Black Pharaoh. Please remember this."

"Black Pharaoh?" For some reason, when Han Nuo heard this title, a group of black uncles carrying coffins always appeared in his mind.

"It is said that the black pharaoh is called the Crawling Chaos. He leads many indescribable beings to serve an indescribable and terrifying king. Some people say that this is the ultimate danger to find the place where the gods of dreams live. His name cannot be mentioned, no one knows his appearance, and no one sings praises of his great achievements. He exists outside of time, in the incomprehensible [darkness]."
