Chapter 695 460: Your Dead Line Has Arrived!
Moreover, Tan Song had already exhausted his energy in the previous duel with An Hai, and when the host invited them on stage, his eyelids were already starting to droop.
"Let's keep the final match simple, shall we?" Tan Song stretched, trying to recover a bit of energy.
As soon as he finished speaking, the referee, having read the rules, waved a large hand, and the duel officially began.
"I go first."
Shen Sui smiled and seized the right to go first.
He glanced at his hand and said to Tan Song with a smile, "Let's keep things a bit simple today."
As soon as Shen Sui said this, the drowsy Tan Song immediately perked up.
Noticing this keenly, Shen Sui quipped, "Why do I feel like the moment I say simple, you get all spirited?"
"Because I feel like you're about to trick me."
The duel hadn't even started, yet their banter drew laughter from the audience. Some of the sleepy spectators were also awakened by the laughter, rubbing their eyes as they watched the stage.
"Don't make me seem so underworld-like," Shen Sui retorted, "You're making it sound like I'm some grim reaper."
Saying this, Shen Sui drew a card from his hand.
He directly paid Soul Points, discarded a card from his hand, and activated the Spell Card [Puppet Creation] from his hand.
Discarding a card, he searched for the Follower Card [Cursed Puppet Natasha] from the deck.
He performed a normal summon, releasing the burial pile, and using the effect of the cursed puppet, activated the Spell Card [Shining Debut] from the deck.
Up to this point, this was Shen Sui's usual standard play with nothing special.
Next, Shen Sui should be special summoning the Golden Ship.
Not only Tan Song, but most of the audience watching the duel thought this too.
"According to [Shining Debut]'s effect, I special summon a level 5 or lower follower from the deck." Shen Sui said as he unfolded his deck without a moment of hesitation and directly drew a card from it, "I choose to special summon the level 1 follower [Dead Line Warrior]."
Dead Line Warrior?
Tan Song was taken aback, not knowing what card this was, but An Hai, watching the match from the audience, raised his head in surprise.
This card was the reward Dean Bu took out during their duel on the airborne dueling platform for them participating in the test.
Unexpectedly, Shen Sui actually used it in this occasion.
"Activate [Dead Line Warrior]'s effect." After this normal summon went through, Shen Sui announced the activation of [Dead Line Warrior]'s effect, "When he is summoned or special summoned to the field, a Spell Card [Dead Line] must be inserted at the bottom of both players' decks."
******
Card Name: [Dead Line]
Category: Spell Card
Star Level: 1 star
Effect: This card remains face-up in the deck and cannot be searched by any card effect. When this card leaves the deck, it must be activated and your opponent wins the duel.

When Tan Song saw the spell card inserted into his deck, his pupils slightly contracted.
Special victory?
Even without knowing the other effect of [Dead Line Warrior], Tan Song already understood Shen Sui's strategy for this match.
He's definitely going to try to make me draw this Spell Card.
Is it a deck thinning tactic?
Tan Song's mind quickly flashed through styles that could cooperate with this Spell Card.
Shen Sui unhurriedly started his play.
He first activated the effect of the Substitute Puppet that entered the graveyard due to the Cursed Puppet's burial effect, banishing it to activate, and searched [Alice] from the deck to add to his hand.
Upon searching Alice, the deck automatically shuffled due to the search effect.
Tan Song's deck immediately followed suit with a shuffle.
"This is..."
"The other effect of [Dead Line Warrior]." Shen Sui explained with a smile, "When he is on the field, in the graveyard, or in the banished zone, as long as my deck is shuffled, your deck must also be shuffled."
With that, Shen Sui winked at Tan Song, "Shall we gamble on today's luck?"
Gamble?
Tan Song looked at Shen Sui speechlessly, "When you talk about gambling, it sounds a bit audacious, God of Age. With the first move in your hand, you just need to keep shuffling the deck until the [Dead Line] in my deck moves to the top."
"Ah, you've figured it out." Shen Sui covered his mouth, giving a Demon King's smile.
Tan Song's eye twitched slightly: This guy...
As Tan Song suspected, to synergize with [Dead Line], Shen Sui's deck was filled with numerous search cards.
After searching for Alice, Shen Sui drew [Silver Moon Wolf King Hali] from his hand and normally summoned her to the field.
When Hali appeared, she could choose an Equipment Spell Card from the deck to activate, causing another shuffle in Shen Sui's deck.
Immediately afterward, he activated the equipment Spell Card's effect, releasing Hali to special summon a follower no higher in stars than Hali from the deck.
This time, Shen Sui chose to special summon the Golden Ship from the deck.
As the Golden Ship was searched, Shen Sui's deck was shuffled once more.
And at that moment, the [Dead Line] card appeared at the top of Shen Sui's deck.
This gave Shen Sui quite a fright.
Fortunately, the Golden Ship's effect wasn't a mandatory effect; otherwise, with the Golden Ship's arrival and the effect of drawing a card, Shen Sui would have ended up in big trouble, directly taken away by [Dead Line].
