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

"Well, I can't blame you entirely. It's also my fault as the older brother for not taking good care of Yang Dou and for not finding him in time. But the most unforgivable ones are those guys who kidnapped Yang Dou!"

As they spoke, Kaito and Soleva arrived at the top of the stairs in the manor. Just then, they heard footsteps coming from behind them.

"who!?"

Kaito turned his head warily, thinking that the Tadashi family had arrived, but when he turned around, he found that it was Yuma and his sister Akari who had barged in.

Upon seeing Soleva, Yuma's face lit up with joy:

"Kaito! You've rescued the old man? That's great!"

Just as Yuma was about to excitedly pounce on him and hug him, Soreva quickly reached out and held the enthusiastic Yuma back.

"Yuma, calm down. This is not the time to celebrate. Right now, Kaito's younger brother, Haruto, is still in their hands."

Upon hearing Soreva mention Yangdou, Yuma and Akari couldn't help but think of the blue-haired boy who had spent the night at their house.

"These people are despicable! How could they hurt such a young child!"

But just as Akari was angrily complaining like this, the commotion they caused also caused a stir among the Jade Throne family. At the very least, across the passage from which Soreva and the others had come, IV and III had already arrived.

"I will not allow you to disturb Father!"

III raised his hand, and a red beam of light shot out from his bracelet toward Yuma. Akari immediately shouted "Danger!" and stood in front of Yuma.

However, this red beam of light wasn't meant to harm anyone. The moment it touched Akari, it shattered, causing Akari to scrutinize herself from head to toe.

"Am I okay?"

Yuma, who recognized what the red beam of light was, immediately explained to Akari:

“Akari-nee, this is a duel restraint lock. If you get hit by this thing, you won’t be able to leave here without a duel.”

"Hey, really!"

Akari lifted her foot and, finding it to be true as Yuma had said, immediately put on a mournful face.

"But...but I'm not good at duels either! What should I do?"

"Then you'd better just obediently let us defeat you and get out of the way!"

The one who answered Akari's question was IV. At this moment, he had raised his wrist, just like III had done earlier, preparing to launch the Duel Restraint Lock.

"This……"

Seeing Akari trapped in the third ring, Yuma was at a loss for what to do. On one hand, he wanted to go up and rescue Yuto, but on the other hand, he also hoped to help Akari.

Finally, Soreva spoke first:

"Yuma, Kaito, you two go up and save Haruto first. I'll help Akari here!"

"I understand!"

Seeing that Soleva had already made the choice for them, Yuma didn't say anything more and immediately went up the stairs with Kaito. However, how could IV let them succeed so easily?

"Leave me alone!"

With a shout, IV also fired a crimson Duel Restraint at Yuma; however, this beam was blocked by Soleva's punch.

"Hey, IV, what you said outside my door just now really annoyed me! Now, let me be your opponent!"

After declaring war on IV, Soreva turned to Kaito and Yuma and said:

"Go rescue Haruto! Kaito! Yuma!"

"Yes!"×2

However, just before the two were about to set off, Soreva suddenly called out "Kaito!" and then threw a small box at Kaito.

"this is……"

Catching the small box, Kaito noticed a familiar card among the densely packed cards inside: [Galaxy-Eyes Light Dragon]. He immediately realized who it was.

"Soreva, this isn't yours..."

"It's just a temporary loan to you."

Faced with Kaito, Soleva immediately began to explain.

"If you were to personally rescue Yang Dou, I feel that relying solely on your cards might not be enough. Therefore, I'll lend you these cards for now."

After all, they are also [Photons] and [Galaxy Eyes], they will surely respond to your wishes!

"oh, I understand now!"

With a firm nod, Kaito accepted the cards.

"Soreva, I will never let you down. I will definitely rescue Yang Dou!"

Having said that, Kaito and Yuma charged towards higher ground, while Soleva, after a laugh, glared sharply at IV:

"Alright, IV, now let me teach you a lesson!"

Chapter 405 The Evil Ritual, the Twisted False God

"You bastard!"

Seeing that Soreva had ruined his plans again, IV's face immediately showed an expression of annoyance.

"Why do you always have to ruin our plans! We're just trying to complete Father's revenge plan, why do you always have to show up and stop us!?"

"Because what you're doing is wrong! Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. If you want to seek revenge on Dr. Fica, I naturally won't stop you knowing the truth! But your attempt to harm an innocent child like Yang Dou is undoubtedly wrong!"

Now that I've seen it, I can't just ignore it!

Faced with Soleva's response, IV couldn't help but scoff. He knew in his heart that Soleva was right, but in order to avenge the pain that Dr. Fica had brought to his family and to gain his father's approval, IV still chose to do it, even though he knew it was wrong.

Therefore, unable to stop such atrocities, IV could only resolutely face Soreva, raise his wrist, and reveal his bronze arm armor and D-panel, which resembled a battle axe:

"If you want to uphold your own sense of justice, then come and try to defeat us!"

Faced with IV and III, who had successively revealed their D-panel and eye patterns, Soreva also raised his Tyrannosaurus D-panel, revealing his silver-white Tyrannosaurus eye pattern:

"What's so difficult about that? Don't forget how many times you've lost to me, you defeated wretch!"

"you!"

Seeing the strangely shaped D-panels on the wrists of Soreva, IV who was arguing with him, and III next to IV, and the fancy eye patterns on their eyes, Akari couldn't help but look at herself.

It uses a standard mechanical D-panel, and the eyes are covered with ordinary D-lens...

"I always feel like my art style is so out of place with theirs..."

Just as Akari was having these doubts, the three of them shouted "Duel!" in unison, startling Akari who quickly echoed, "Duel!"

"Then I'll take the first strike! Time to draw!"

Although he had successfully seized the initiative, III still glanced at Soreva with lingering fear.

"By the way, you're not still using the same deck as yesterday, are you?"

"What? Are you afraid of that deck? Well, that makes sense. Normally, most people would be afraid of that deck."

He made a joking remark to III, to which Soreva immediately shook his head and said...

"Don't worry, I'm not using that deck this time."

Hearing Soleva say this, III breathed a sigh of relief. However, he completely failed to notice that Soleva's lips curled up slightly:

"However, while this is very entertaining for me, it might not be easy for you to deal with."

Meanwhile, the completely unaware III drew a card from his hand and slapped it onto his D panel:

"Then, I Normal Summon from my hand, [Prehistoric Legacy - Gordiana Combination]!"

As the light points converged, a series of dark purple cubes separated by brown bands appeared on III's field, and III immediately activated its effect.

"When this card is successfully summoned, you can Special Summon one monster from your hand with 1000 or less ATK and whose name contains the word '[Prehistoric Legacy]'! This monster's Level becomes the same as the Special Summoned monster!"

Immediately afterwards, III flipped over a card from his hand and showed it to Soreva:

"What I want to Special Summon is this [Ancient Legacy - Guardian of Tura]!"

Subsequently, the deep blue stone golem that Soreva had seen in the duel the previous night appeared on the field of III, and the level of the [Gordian Combination] that was already on the field also rose to level 5.

"This level..."

Seeing this level, Soleva felt that he could guess what kind of monster III would summon.

"I'm stacking a Level 5 [Gordian Combiner] with [Tura Guardian]! I'm creating a stacking network with these two monsters! Xyz Summon!"

Show yourself! [No. 33 Historical Legacy - Super Weapon Energy]!

As the familiar Sky City reappeared above III's head, Soreva saw III then draw two more cards and place them face down in the back row:

"Finally, I'll set two cards face down, and the turn ends!"

"Then, my turn, draw a card!"

Worried that Akari might be tricked by the III card, Soreva immediately called out his turn before Akari could, and pulled a card from the top of the deck.

Adding the card to his hand, Soreva immediately swapped out a card from his six cards and attached it to his D panel:

"Continuous Spell Card, [The Holy Announcement of the Demon] activated! When this card is activated, you can add 1 [The Demon] Ritual Monster or 1 [The Demon] Ritual Spell Card from your Deck to your hand!"

If your opponent controls a monster, you can add one more [Teach] card from your Deck to your hand!

Although the card names differ in words, such as "[凶导]" (meaning "guiding evil") and "[教教]" (meaning "teaching"), they are pronounced the same and share the same characters. Therefore, no one present noticed anything unusual about this effect or Soreva's subsequent words.

"Because there is [Super Weapon Energy] on the field of III, I will add [Daylight Guidance] and [Saintess of Guidance, Acricia] to my hand!"

He caught the two cards that came out of the D panel, added them to his hand, and then revealed a card that he had prepared in his hand beforehand:

"Then, the ritual magic [The Gospel of the Evil Guide] is activated!"

"So, it really is a ritual summoning?"

Although the group had anticipated that Soreva would likely use a ritual summoning when they first heard the effect of the [Holy Announcement of the Evil] card, they were all somewhat taken aback when they actually saw Soreva reveal the ritual spell card.

After all, in this era, ritual summoning is an even less common summoning method than the fusion summoning that Soreva used to use.

Soon, everyone heard the effect of the ritual spell card activated by Soreva:

"You can only activate one card with the same name as this card per turn! You can Tribute monsters from your hand and field up to the sum of their Levels up to the same level as the monster you Ritual Summoned!"

Alternatively, send a monster of the same Level as the Ritual Summoned monster from your Extra Deck to the Graveyard, and Ritual Summon a [Mortal] Ritual Monster from your hand!
