Traveling in reverse through the Yu-Gi-Oh! world with the MD system

However, just as his foot stepped onto the repaired disc, the black figure reappeared, blocking his way:

"Welcome, Yuma-kun! You're the one holding the [No.] card!"

Upon hearing this voice, Yuma instantly realized that it was this very voice that had told him, through the kitten's body, that the birds and the others were here when the kitten had found him earlier:

"That voice...you're the one who claimed to be a spirit, right?! You're the one who kidnapped the little birds?! Give them back right now!"

"huh huh huh huh!"

Upon hearing Yuma's request, the man who claimed to be a shrewd individual immediately let out a sinister laugh.

"If you want to rescue your friend, then come and duel me! In front of Lord Kaito!"

Following the direction of the fine hand, Yuma indeed saw it. In the direction of the high platform, there was indeed a figure that looked very much like Kaito sitting there, with bright white light emanating from his eyes.

This made Yuma's heart begin to tremble with unease:

"Was that person really Kaito? So, does that mean this whole incident was also done by that old man and his companions?"

Just as Yuma was pondering this, on the other end of the seven orbital cameras, Soreva had already collapsed onto the sofa on the upper level of the castle, bursting into a violent laugh:

"Hahaha! Kaito, look! This guy is actually your fan! I wonder what that thing sitting on top is, is it just a statue or a sex doll or something?"

Hearing Soleva's laughter, Kaito's face darkened, and he immediately snorted and said:

"Don't associate the actions of this idiot with me!"

"Yes, yes, I know."

However, on the screen, the performance by the charismatic Kaito continued, causing Soreva to burst into laughter again, which he had barely managed to suppress. He looked on with a fanatical expression, respectfully bowing to the "Kaito" on the high platform and saying:

"Lord Kaito! I will take the [No.] card from this man and present it to you!"

As he spoke, he turned his head towards Yuma, his face filled with a madman's gaze, and said...

"Now, let me hunt down your [No.] cards!"

"You bastard! I'm going to beat you and save everyone!"

"Duel!" ×2

"I'll go first! My turn, draw a card!"

Before Yuma could react, Sei swiftly drew a card from the D-Pad on his wrist, and then, under the watchful eyes of both Astral and Yuma, affixed the card to his D-Pad.

"I usually summon [Orange Shaman]!"

As the card appeared, a black mist instantly spread out from it, and a shaman mask, along with orange hair like flower petals, slowly emerged from the black mist.

Then, a figure wearing an orange-yellow outfit and a mask emerged from the black mist, holding a drum in one hand and a drumstick in the other.

The monster named [Orange Shaman] that this attack represents has an attack power of only zero.

But just as Yuma thought he might do something else, he saw the man called Sei put up a card:

"Then place a card face down, and the turn ends."

"This kind of scene..."

Seeing the scene that Sei had created, Yuma couldn't help but grit his teeth. If it were the old him, seeing such a scene would definitely have made him think that this was a good opportunity to attack.

But now, all he felt was a strong sense of conspiracy. However, in order to rescue his companions, even if it was a conspiracy, he had no choice but to test the waters.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Yuma drew a card from his deck and added it to his hand, but at that moment he began to hesitate.

"[The Rumble Stone Golem] or [I-I-I-The Magician], which monster should I use...?"

Just then, Yuma heard the voice of the astral entity in his ear:

"Yuma, be careful! The opponent has put a monster with 0 attack power in attack position. It's very likely a trap to lure you into attacking. Don't fall for it!"

"I see!"

Upon hearing the astral body's reminder, Yuma immediately had a flash of inspiration, pulled out a few cards, and pasted them onto his D-panel.

"I set one monster and two cards face down, end my turn!"

Chapter 307 Forbidden Cards, The Ruler of Color Has Arrived

"Hmph, so you've chosen a defensive strategy? But that doesn't mean I can't handle you. My turn, draw a card!"

Seeing Yuma's choice, Sei didn't take it too seriously. He just smiled coldly, drew a card, and then placed one of his cards onto his D panel.

"So, I usually summon a [Red Shaman]!"

Another [Shaman] monster has appeared, but this time the monster wears a red mask with patterns that look like an angry expression.

Like [Orange Shaman], this monster also has an attack power of 0.

With the appearance of this monster, Jing quickly drew another card from his hand and attached his D card to the card panel:

"Next, I activate the Spell Card [Shaman's Call]! When you control two or more face-up Spellcaster monsters with 0 ATK, you can Special Summon 1 [Shaman] monster from your Deck!"

I Special Summon [Green Shaman]!

From within the black mist, another [Shaman] monster appeared. In contrast to the female [Orange Shaman] and the male [Red Shaman], this [Green Shaman], dressed in a green robe, had a gray beard and clearly looked like an old man.

Now, the Spirit had gathered four Level 4 monsters on its field. The Spirit immediately raised its hand, arrogantly announcing its arrival, and on its raised palm, the number "16" shone brightly.

"Look closely! The power of my great [No.] card! I stack the Level 4 [Orange Shaman], [Red Shaman], and [Green Shaman]! I construct a stacking network with three monsters!"

Xyz Summon! Appear! [No. 16, the Ruler of Color]!

As the chanting of the spirits filled the air, three [Shaman] monsters transformed into a purplish-black ball of light, opening a channel for Xyz Summoning. A reddish-brown cube falling from it disintegrated, transforming into a monster with a face like a rigid sculpture—a reptile composed of reddish-brown triangular pyramids with black stripes. Watching this duel through the screen, Soleva blurted out:

"Holy crap! A banned card!"

And immediately after this monster appeared, the spirit activated its effect:

"Then, I activate the effect of [Ruler of Color]! Once per turn, remove 1 Xyz Material, declare 1 type of card, and negate the effects of that type of card until the end phase of your opponent's second turn!"

This effect made Soreva click his tongue in disbelief.

"Damn! This effect is even worse than the physical card!? The physical card is already banned, you might as well not be released from prison!"

If Soreva reacted this way, one can only imagine how Yuma, who was currently battling the demon, would react:

"The effect of two rounds is invalid!?"

Seeing Yuma's shock, the spirit chuckled several times before speaking smugly:

“That’s right! Cards I’ve seen through can’t be used for two turns! Let me see the cards you’ve set down…”

After glancing at the card Yuma had covered, Jing immediately let out a sound of confusion.

"Oh? It's a spell card and a trap card? But it seems the trap card is more useful to you now! [Ruler of Color], negate his trap card!"

With a resounding sound, the eyes on the sculpted face of [Ruler of Color] instantly emitted X-rays, looking at the cards face-down behind Yuma. Sure enough, it was a Spell Card and a Trap Card with [Double Damage].

Having already absorbed an excessive amount of materials with its horn, the [Ruler of Color] immediately shot out its yellow horn, piercing [Double Damage] and pinning it firmly to the ground.

"Now you've lost your means of defense! So, [Ruler of Color], attack that monster that's been covered up!"

However, just as Sei launched his attack with such smug satisfaction, he suddenly noticed something amiss: Yuma in front of him seemed to show no signs of the tension that comes with being at a disadvantage.

Facing the [Ruler of Color] whose horn had already lit up and was charging fiercely towards him, Yuma's face revealed a slight smile:

"As expected, your attention was completely focused on the two cards I set face down at the back. But don't forget, monsters have the same effect!"

The monster you attacked this time was, [Rumble Stone Golem]!

As the face-down card was revealed, the [Rumble Stone Golem] in defense position appeared, and Yuma's voice followed immediately.

"And the [Rumble Stone Golem] in defense position cannot be destroyed by battle once per turn!"

Immediately afterwards, Jing saw the [Rumble Stone Man], who was in a defensive stance, raise his thick hands, grab the [Ruler of Color]'s head, and throw the [Ruler of Color] back.

This battle was a complete failure for the [Ruler of Color], which made the unsuccessful spirit click its tongue in disapproval.

"Stop trying to be clever! I'll end this round like this!"

Seeing that Jing didn't make any further moves, even Yuma couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief before placing his finger on top of the deck:

"Then, my turn, draw a card!"

However, Yuma was taken aback when he saw the true form of the card in his hand.

"This card is... [Electric Kurisu]? It only has 300 ATK and is a Level 1 monster. Maybe I should summon [Ga-Ga-Ga Magician] and [Golgoo Golem] together and Xyz Summon [Hope of the Rising Sun]..."

However, just as Yuma's fingers were about to touch [I-I-I Magician], Astral's voice suddenly rang in his ears:

"Yuma, summon [Electric Kuriboh], and then use [Electric Kuriboh]'s effect!"

"[Electric Kuriboh]'s effect? ​​Remove one Xyz Material and Special Summon one [Electric Kuriboh Token] to your field? But I don't have any Xyz Monsters on my field."

In response to Yuma's question, the astral body immediately reminded him:

"[Electric Kurisu]'s effect applies to the entire field, which means it can remove the materials of [Color Master]. Moreover, [Electric Kurisu] can remove all the Xyz Materials of [Color Master] without being used once per turn."

Besides, that spell card you just set down can still support [Electric Kurisu], right?

"I see!"

Suddenly realizing what was happening, Yuma immediately drew the [Electric Chestnut] card from his hand and placed it on the D panel.

"Then, I will Normal Summon [Electrokuris] and activate its effect! Remove the remaining two Xyz Materials of [Color Dominator] and Special Summon two [Electrokuris Tokens] of the same number to my field!"

As this monster, resembling a Kuriboh-shaped black lump of coal with red circuitry, appeared on the Yuma Stadium, it instantly released an electric current, pulling the two Xyz Material surrounding [Color Dominator] to its side, transforming them into two identical [Electric Kuriboh Derivatives]. Seimei immediately roared:

"Hmph! Although you successfully removed the Xyz Material from [Color Dominator], preventing it from activating its effect, what can you possibly do with those few weak monsters on your field!?"

"That's not necessarily true! I'll activate the face-down Spell Card, [Voltage Summon]!"

Chapter 308 Another No., Giant Eye

As the card that wasn't hit by the spikes slowly opened, revealing its true form, Yuma began to explain its effect:

"This card allows you to Tribute all [Electro-Kurisu Tokens] on your field! Special Summon the same number of Level 4 or lower monsters you Tribute from your Deck! However, the effects of monsters Special Summoned by this effect are negated, and their ATK and DEF become 0!"

Come on! [Give it your all, Knight]! [Shadow Lizard]!

At the call of the horse, a knight wielding two shields descended from the sky, and a small, jet-black lizard, as thin as a shadow, emerged from the shadow beneath him.
