Accelerated Thinking (Paradise of Adversity VIII), 22/2 Light and Darkness; [Barrier]; Effect: When a player casts a spell, the player can draw 3 cards from the top of their deck. Before the next effect of Accelerated Thinking, the player shuffles all cards from their hand back to their deck. 'The advantage on the battlefield is the advantage of having the initiative.'
As soon as the [Barrier] card appeared, Brando's eyes glowed. Two cards appeared in his vision, one grey and one white. The grey one was the [Holy Sword], and the white one was the [War Horse]. There were only two cards, because Brando knew that he only had these two cards left in his deck. A 50/50 chance, just like a left or right card, there was always a 50/50 chance of getting it right.
He pulled out the card.
This was the first card he had ever gotten since he came to this world. The [Holy Sword] represented a Knight's firm belief, a sword that would rather break than bend. It was a sword that shined brightly in his soul. This sword had witnessed his journey, how he led the refugees of Fortress Riedon to break through the encirclement, how he fulfilled his vow, how he took over the territory, how he fought a bloody battle, and walked on the path he had promised himself. His goal had always been in front of him, so the sword had never been sheathed.
Now Brando's index and middle finger were gently placed on the card, like a Knight polishing his sword under the light. The blade was like ice, shining with a cold light.
He placed the card flat and announced: "Attach."
"Lady Elaine."
Following Brando's words, it was as if a bright flame had been ignited in the deep starry sky. Golden light shone on the Wind Spirit Spiders one by one. But looking up, it was as if a civilization had stepped into the darkness. On the vast land, the last thing that was left was a scroll of flickering flames. The intertwining flames weaved the future of the civilization.
"Anrolda's [Holy Ring], how many cards are there?" Brando asked.
"How beautiful." Ina looked up and praised from the bottom of her heart. Her eyes were as beautiful as the starry sky, especially when she smiled. "Anroldu's Holy Ring, there are a total of four cards in the Paradise of Adversity deck. I have two of them, and so does the Pendulum monster. "The siren seemed to know why Brando asked this question, so she answered in detail.
"Shut up! How dare you reveal the details of Master's deck to an outsider! Elaine, your actions are going against master's expectations. You have disappointed me! "The Pendulum Golem interrupted her coldly.
Big Sis raised her head and stared at the Pendulum Golem without saying a word. She used the brightest light in her eyes to express her stance – Pendulum Golem, you, do not represent the master's opinion. The Paradise of Adversity has been sleeping for too long. It is time for it to have a successor, and not to sleep in this dark underground forever.
The confrontation between the two only lasted for a moment. For thousands of years, they had never been able to convince each other, and today was no exception.
But from Elaine's brief conversation, Brando had already obtained the information he wanted. Communicating with smart people was easy, and this was the first time he agreed with this view. His heart was calm, but there was also a flash of joy. The opportunity he had been waiting for was right in front of him. The Pendulum Golem had two Anroldu's Holy Ring, but one was already used during his counterattack, and the other was in his hands.
Although he did not know how this card was attached to the crystallized Lederer, Brando only needed to know the result. The Holy Sword had been ignited, and his target was the Nightmare Forges summoned by the Pendulum Golem. He wanted to destroy the cogwheel floating above the Nightmare Forges. But before that, Brando was cautious enough to test the waters.
Even though he knew that the Pendulum Golem no longer had Anroldu's Holy Ring, Brando did not mind being more careful. There were two ways to gamble. One was to press forward like a gambler who had lost so much that his eyes were red. The other was to carefully weave a large net and slowly close the gaps in the net.
He held Halran Gaia in one hand, and looked at the brilliant flames pouring down from the sky. One pillar, two pillars … a golden river flowed down from the dome. Along the pillars of light were flames that burned the ground. The Nightmare Forges that were touched by the flames sizzled. The defense of these Nightmare Forges was terrifying. A single pillar of light was not enough to melt their outer shell. But when two, three, or even more golden swords converged on a single point, the Nightmare Forges could only scream as they melted into molten metal.
The golden flames illuminated the Pendulum Golem's face. It seemed to have felt the difficulty of the situation for the first time. It propped its bronze staff on the ground, and the pendulum under its cloak ticked non-stop, as if it was thinking of a problem. Finally, it gave the order, and dozens of defeated Death Sentinels left the frontline. They even ignored the pursuit of Elaine's summoned creatures, and turned to the golden pillars of light.
It was a magnificent scene.
Creatures that were born in the darkness were like moths, rushing towards the golden flames one after another. In the blink of an eye, they were reduced to ashes. Because of the order, even if it was only for a moment, they had to stop the advance of the Holy Sword. A moment was enough. The Pendulum Golem had already retreated the remaining Nightmare Forges at the last moment.
"You're crazy, Pendulum Golem. That's not how you use the Cards of Fate!" Elaine couldn't help but frown. At the same time, she turned her head and whispered, "That Wooden Fish Head is already in a mess. Little guy, work harder. Victory is in sight."
This woman.
For the first time, Brando felt that women were contradictory creatures. But he nodded. Now was indeed the time to work harder.
"What do you know?" The Pendulum Golem looked at them coldly. "This is a Planeswalker's chessboard. Every move has the most precise timing. Just like the flow of time, every minute, every second. This is the most beautiful art that master has taught us for thousands of years. But you don't understand. Today, I will show you why this deck is called the Adversity Deck. "
The Pendulum Golem's words made Brando raise his eyebrows slightly. He raised his head and looked at the Pendulum Golem's expression. It wasn't the kind of dejection that came from losing, but rather a determination that grew stronger as the battle went on. Brando frowned. This was not the expression of someone who was about to lose. Could it be that the Pendulum Golem still had a trump card? He didn't dare to be careless. The probing was already over. The Pendulum Golem even wanted to use creature cards to block his Holy Sword. This was undoubtedly the signal for the final attack. He raised his gaze, and the Wind Spirit Spider followed suit. The golden sword in the air was aimed at the Pendulum Golem's cogwheel.
One hit to defeat the enemy.
"I order my summons to press forward." At the same time, the Deer Demoness also gave the order to attack.
The Pendulum Golem's expression was as calm as ever. It was as if it would never admit defeat until the very last moment. It raised its bronze staff, and the Death Sentinels fell one by one in front of it. At the same time, the Erronian Spellweavers that had been drained of their energy stood up once again. The Pendulum Golem was regenerating the Spellweavers and absorbing new Light Elements for it. The Nightmare Forges were growing again.
"Not good!" Irene's eyebrows furrowed. "It's Sacrifice. This is the power of the Erronian Furnace of Adversity. This bastard is accelerating the cycle. It really doesn't want to live anymore. Hurry up and limit the number of Nightmare Forges it can summon!"
However, Brando couldn't stop now. The golden beam had already locked onto its target. He was focused on destroying the cogwheel. As long as the core was destroyed, the Pendulum Golem wouldn't be able to summon any more Nightmare Forges. Victory or defeat would be decided here. He didn't believe that the Pendulum Golem had any more tricks up its sleeve.
The cogwheel dodged in mid-air, but the rain of steel was slowly extending. It was only a hair's breadth away from hitting its target. However, Brando didn't expect that a wall would suddenly appear between him and victory.
This wall was the Pendulum Golem, who had a cold expression on his face.
The Pendulum Golem stood in the middle of the flames, looking at Brando and the Deer Demoness with contempt.
But what really made Brando's eyes widen was that the Pendulum Golem had taken the initiative to dispel its Magic Defense, taking the hit with its Health Points alone. The flames burned through its cloak in an instant. Half of the Pendulum Golem's body was reduced to ashes, but it did not show any signs of pain. Its right hand was still tightly gripping the bronze staff that was propped up on the ground.
"You're crazy!"
The Deer Demoness was shocked. She couldn't help but scream. She didn't expect the Pendulum Golem to be so ruthless. But what she couldn't understand was why the Pendulum Golem would take the initiative to dispel its Magic Defense. As a companion who had followed the great master for thousands of years, she knew the power of the Pendulum Golem. If the Pendulum Golem had used all its strength to block the attack, it shouldn't have taken any damage.
But the Deer Demoness' scream was only met with a contemptuous smile.
The Pendulum Golem's broken body stood among its summoned creatures. It smiled contemptuously. Although its body was on the verge of collapse, its smile was full of disdain for its enemy. "Looks like you've forgotten the first lesson our master taught us, Irene. When it comes to deciding the outcome of the game, Planeswalkers have to sacrifice themselves to protect their most important and fragile cards on the field. If you don't include yourself in the game, then you will lose one of your most important chess pieces. "
"Now, you've lost." The Pendulum Golem raised its chin proudly. Behind it, there were more than 40 Nightmare Forges. These were its last assets.
At this moment, the cogwheel above its head began to spin rapidly. It slowly grew bigger and bigger until it formed an unimaginably large steel door. Behind the door, a gigantic silhouette gradually appeared. It was a hill that seemed to be floating in the air. Infinitely distorted thoughts and bizarre bodies combined and mutated on the hill, forming a chaotic scene that was eternally changing. The hill seemed to have some kind of life. It floated there, but everyone present could feel a chilling gaze from the top of the hill.
Brando's face paled when he saw this thing. This was the legendary Ancient Abomination, one of the most powerful Abominations in the Twilight of Legends, Imoku the Eternal Wraith.
