182: Chapter 182 A globally unique, forced duel card!

Back inside the Floating City, Xu Xuan sat on his throne, chin resting on one hand as he pondered.

Although he had achieved a phased victory, the Zerg Swarm was spread across the entire Lord Continent; it wasn't practical to try and wipe them out in a short period.

Based on Xu Xuan's estimates, the total area of the Lord Continent might be ten or even a hundred times larger than Earth.

In such a vast world, attempting to eradicate a race by one's own strength alone was likely impossible.

Even if the Zerg Swarm under his control expanded tenfold to twenty million units, it might not be enough to completely exterminate the enemy swarm.

Only by decapitating the key figures of the Zerg Swarm could the Zerg's advantage on the Lord Continent potentially be overturned.

Just then, as the last hostile insect outside fell, the system began calculating the rewards.

[Global Announcement: Congratulations to the Human Race's Great Xia Lord Xu Xuan for single-handedly repelling the siege of 50 Zerg Swarm legions, totaling 5 million insects.]

[Gratitude to the Human Race's Great Xia Lord Xu Xuan for capturing the Swarm Queen and 5 King Worms.]

[Rewards have been sent to your mailbox. Lord Xu Xuan, please claim your mysterious rewards from the mailbox.]

Seeing this.

Xu Xuan clicked the screen; the system was indeed generous in its dealings.

The system sent rewards privately instead of displaying them in the global channel.

This meant that only he knew what rewards he had received.

From his throne, Xu Xuan opened his mailbox and took a look.

[Your rewards have arrived.]

[You have achieved an Epic Victory! Without losing a single soldier, you caused the enemy to fall into internecine strife.]

[Reward: 10 forced duel cards.]

[Reward: 5 divine general cards.]

[Floating Island has unlocked a God-tier building — Heavenly Thunder Tower!]

[Heavenly Thunder Tower: Can store electrical energy and discharge it to attack enemies.]

Hmm?

forced duel card?

At that moment, Xu Xuan's eyes lit up, feeling a surge of excitement.

He immediately opened it to check.

[forced duel card: As long as you know the opponent's name, you can immediately initiate a Lord Duel regardless of the distance between both parties.

The opponent cannot refuse and must choose to either fight or surrender (submit).]

The cards rewarded this time were a bit terrifying.

Forcing the enemy to fight me?

Truly worthy of being Epic-tier item cards.

Furthermore, Xu Xuan discovered a very magical function; this duel card also had a bit of a cheating capability.

He picked up a duel card and found that he could write on it.

He wrote the name [Zhou Wu] on the card with his finger.

[Human Race Great Xia Lord Zhou Wu]

[Your strength comparison with him: You completely crush him!]

[Initiate forced duel? Tear the card to activate the effect.]

Xu Xuan wiped the name off the card, and it returned to being a blank card.

What kind of duel card is this?

This is clearly a combat power scanner.

Xu Xuan tried writing another name on the card — Elf Mother Goddess.

[Supreme Deity of the Elf Race — Elf Mother Goddess]

[Your strength comparison with her: The Elf is invincible.]

[The opponent is the Supreme Deity of the Elf Race; if you declare war, you will have to fight against the entire Elf Race.]

Seeing this, Xu Xuan's scalp instantly went numb.

"Good heavens, if I declare war directly on a primary god, I have to fight their entire race?"

It seemed the Supreme Deities really commanded quite the presence.

The elves were currently scattered everywhere, but if Xu Xuan activated the duel card's effect, it would pull all the elves onto the battlefield.

The number of elves in the whole world... billions? Tens of billions?

With Xu Xuan's current population of less than a million, it was impossible to contend with an entire race.

Then what use was this duel card?

Xu Xuan pondered for a moment, and a clever idea came to mind.

"Little bug, never mind, this King shall bestow a name upon you."

Looking at the Insect Girl's spiky long hair, Xu Xuan was lost in thought.

"Call you Maomao? That sounds a bit unrefined. Momo... let's go with a homophone."

"From now on, you shall be called Xu Mo."

Hearing that Xu Xuan had even bestowed his surname upon her, the Insect Girl was in disbelief.

Beside them, Su Daji spoke with a hint of jealousy, "Why haven't you knelt down to thank the Great King?"

"Thank you, Master!"

She knelt down with a thud.

Insect Girls of her level usually only had a serial number.

Like No. 034 or No. 8421.

Only those exceptionally strong Insect-mans would be bestowed a name by the Overlord.

The Insect Girl's name had always been just a serial number.

Today... her master had even given her a surname, which made the Insect Girl feel overwhelmed by the favor, as if it weren't real.

It was like a dream... she was now a person with a proper name?

Sitting on his throne, Xu Xuan looked down at the kneeling Insect Girl.

"As long as you do your job well, I will not mistreat anyone who is loyal to me."

"Now, tell me about the famous Zerg generals you know."

The Insect Girl Xu Mo was stunned for a moment; although she didn't know why her master was asking this, she spoke truthfully.

"The Zerg Swarm Great Lords I know of include the tenth-ranked Abyssal Giant Worm Mohr, the ninth-ranked Heart of the Swarm Udyrs, and the eighth-ranked Nest Spider Mary..."

"Alright, that's enough. These few will do for now."

Xu Xuan interrupted the Insect Girl, pulled out a duel card, and wrote down the name of Abyssal Giant Worm Mohr.

Soon, the relevant data appeared on the duel card.

[Zerg Lord — Abyssal Giant Worm Mohr]

[Your strength comparison with it: A head above! (You only need to perform normally to defeat this lord.)]

Interesting.

Xu Xuan raised his hand to call up the screen and posted a message on the world chat channel.

[Xu Xuan (Great Xia Human Race): The Swarm is scattered everywhere, yet you even teamed up with the Giant Race to besiege me at the first opportunity. You've really worked hard.]

[Xu Xuan (Great Xia Human Race): We humans also believe in reciprocating favors. I'll start with your Swarm Lords and call them out one by one.]

[Xu Xuan (Great Xia Human Race): Who should I choose? Let's start with the tenth-ranked lord within the Swarm, Mohr.]

Seeing Xu Xuan speaking in the chat channel.

Many people expressed confusion.

What is Xu Xuan talking about?

Why can't they understand?

What "calling out one by one"?

The Zerg Swarm is scattered across the world, and this Lord Continent is vast. Where is Xu Xuan going to find the Swarm Lords?

Even if Xu Xuan flew at supersonic speeds, it would take several hundred years to search the entire Lord Continent.

How is he, Xu Xuan, going to search for Zerg lords?

At this time, the Zerg Supreme Deity also appeared.

[Swarm Overlord (Zerg Supreme Deity): What are you talking about, little cutie? My subordinates are scattered all over the world; even I might not know exactly where they are. You? You can find that many of my subordinates?]

The Overlord, along with the Ghost Emperor, the Elf Mother Goddess, and the Giant God—the Supreme Deities of the four great races—were all curious about what Xu Xuan was saying.

But the next moment, as Xu Xuan tore the card, a global announcement rang out.

[Human Race Great Xia Lord Xu Xuan has initiated a Lord Duel against the Zerg Abyssal Giant Worm Mohr. It cannot be refused! Both sides have 10 minutes of preparation time before entering the Lord Duel Arena!]

Upon seeing this sentence, these deities were more bewildered than the last.
