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

"What!?"×3

At this moment, III, IV, and Akari were deeply shocked, especially III and IV. They never expected that after Graveyard Fusion and Banished Fusion, as well as Deck Fusion, they would see Ritual Summoning in Soreva's hands, which uses monsters from the Extra Deck as tributes.

And Soreva did not disappoint them in the slightest:

"Now, I choose to send the Level 12 [Extreme War Machine King War God Machine] from my Extra Deck to the Graveyard as a tribute to perform a Ritual Summon!"

Descend! Leader of the fallen theocracy who has turned all beauty into chaos! Now, reveal your twisted and hideous nature as a false god! [The Dark Side of the Cursed]!

Chapter 406, Extra Destruction, is also a form of deck destruction.

As a phantom dressed in a magnificent white robe and wearing a pure white mask with a black horizontal line dividing the mask in the center, spread its arms on Soreva's field, the crimson steel body of [Extreme Fighter King War God Machine] gradually turned into specks of light and poured into the black void opened by the white-robed figure.

Soon, a pair of blood-red giant hands emerged from the dark void, firmly grasping its edge and stretching it even larger.

Then, a pale, human-like head emerged from the black hole. However, this pale head had no eyes, nose, ears, or hair; it only had a huge mouth from which a thick tongue protruded.

With a heavy exertion of blood-red arms, the pale body, along with a pair of angel-like wings, fell to the ground. However, the wings, from the white at the base to the dense purple feathers and black barbs at the tips, exuded an indescribable sense of malevolence.

After the arrival of this malevolent giant, Soreva unceremoniously activated its effects:

"Then, I activate the effect of [Daytime Destiny of Evil]! The opponent can choose one of the following two effects to apply!"

1! For every two cards in your Extra Deck, send one card from your hand or Extra Deck to the Graveyard!

Second! All Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Link Monsters on your field are returned to their owner's Extra Deck!

Although I don't understand what the other two monsters besides Fusion and Xyz are in Soreva's second effect, III is absolutely unwilling to return the [Super Weapon Energy] he summoned to the Extra Deck.

Therefore, III decisively spoke up:

"I choose one! For every two cards in my Extra Deck, I send one card from my hand or Extra Deck to the Graveyard!"

Although III basically only uses a few Xyz Monsters and [Number] cards related to [Prehistoric Legacy], he still plays a full fifteen Extra Deck cards, so much so that he can now easily send the monsters from his seven Extra Deck cards to the Graveyard.

Just when III thought that Soreva would probably end the round like this, he heard Soreva's voice ring out again:

"Then, there's another effect of [The Divine Announcement of the Demon]! Once per turn, if you control a [The Divine Announcement] Ritual Monster, check either your or your opponent's Extra Deck, and send one of those monsters to the Graveyard!"

Just when III thought that Soreva was coming for him again, Soreva pointed to IV, who seemed to be watching the show.

"IV, let me see your Extra Deck!"

No matter how unwilling IV was, under the constraints of the game rules, Soreva still saw IV's deck and locked in one card that he would not allow IV to seize any opportunity:

"Your card is still a bit dangerous, so I can't keep it! IV. I'm sending your [No. 88 Mechanical Puppet - Lion of Destiny] to the graveyard!"

"Damn it! It's this card!?"

Seeing Soleva send one of his cards, which could have turned the tide of the game, to the graveyard, IV couldn't help but click his tongue in surprise. However, deep down, IV couldn't help but think that even if he had summoned this [Lion of Destiny], it probably wouldn't have been able to activate its effect against Soleva.

Immediately afterwards, Soreva took another card from his hand and slammed it onto his D-card panel:

"Furthermore, since there is [Super Weapon Energy] on the field in III, I activate the effect of [Teaching Saintess Exia] in my hand! This effect can only be activated if a monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck is on the field; Special Summon this card from your hand!"

As the card fell, the blonde saintess, clad in silver armor and wielding a polearm, appeared on Soreva's field amidst a flash of light.

"This effect can only be activated if this card is Normal or Special Summoned! Add one [Teaching] card from your Deck to your hand, except for [Teaching Saintess Exeria]!"

The card I chose is, "[The High Priest of Teaching]!"

This time, after catching the card that popped out of the D panel, Soreva showed it to the group without hesitation:

"This card can only be activated by banishing a One-Finger Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link Monster from your Graveyard, and then Special Summon it from your hand!"

Therefore, I will exclude the [War God Mech] from the graveyard! I will Special Summon the [Teaching High Priest] in Defense Position!

The phantom of [War God Mech] reappeared on Soreva's field, but soon, a white-robed figure similar to the one that appeared in the ritual magic just now slowly emerged from the phantom of [War God Mech].

The figure of the [War God Mech] finally vanished completely after the white-robed [Great Priest of Instruction] walked out.

Soreva's voice rang out again after he appeared:

"Then, activate the other effect of [Great Priest]! Send two monsters with different names from your Extra Deck to the Graveyard, and your opponent also sends two monsters from their Extra Deck to the Graveyard!"

I choose to send [Old God Nutz] and [Ash Dragon Fallen Dragon] from my Extra Deck to the Graveyard!

After sending those two monsters from his Extra Deck to the Graveyard, Soreva immediately raised his hand and gestured to III.

“Now, it’s your turn, III.”

"I……"

Although somewhat hesitant, III quickly made a decision.

"I choose to send two [Prehistoric Legacy Crystal Alien] cards from my Extra Deck to the Graveyard!"

At this point, III's Extra Deck now only has five cards left. If Soreva hadn't just given IV a chance to choose a card to send to the graveyard, III would have thought he might have been missing a [Number] card this time.

However, III soon saw a smile playing on Soreva's lips:

"Now, I'll activate the effect of [Old God Nutz] in my Graveyard! If this card is sent to the Graveyard, you can destroy one card on the field!"

As he spoke, Soleva pointed his finger to the [Super Weapon Energy] above III's head.

"And what I choose to destroy is the [Super Weapon Energy] above your head!"

"not good!"

Seeing that Soreva chose to destroy [Super Weapon Energy], III immediately shouted out. The two cards he set face down in the back row both required him to have a [Prehistoric Legacy] monster on his field.

And [Super Weapon Energy] is the only [Prehistoric Legacy] monster he has left on the field!

Holding a gun and shield, and dressed in a brown dress, the goddess [Old God Nutz] appeared high in the sky, then aimed at [Super Weapon Energy] on the field and threw her spear.

Immediately afterwards, with a loud "boom", the [Super Weapon Energy] was pierced through by the spear, and the sky city that was suspended in the air tilted down.

Eventually fell.

Chapter 407 Knight's Emergency Rescue

After [Super Weapon Energy] perished, Soreva picked up a card from his hand and said:

"However, since this is a 2-on-2 duel, according to the rules, I will not be able to launch an attack this turn. Also, due to the self-restraint of the [Teaching] series, I cannot Special Summon a monster from the Extra Deck this turn!"

So, I'll set a card face down to end my turn!

Soleva's ending round made III breathe a sigh of relief. At least, he and IV wouldn't be defeated by Soleva in this round, so they might have a chance to defeat Soleva next.

On IV's side, after receiving Soreva's reminder, he also realized that there seemed to be a card in his extra deck that was more suitable for this 2 vs 2 rule.

Moreover, it's his turn to take over next.

However, just as IV placed his finger on the top of the deck, eagerly preparing to begin his turn, Soreva suddenly spoke:

"However, during my End Phase, the effect of [Ash Dragon Fallen Dragon], which was just sent to the Graveyard, activates! During the End Phase of the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard, you can add one [Teach] monster from your Deck to your hand or Special Summon one [Albus Fallen Dragon]!"

Immediately afterwards, Soleva tapped the Tyrannosaurus Rex D panel lightly with his finger and made his choice.

"I choose to add [Teacher Knight Friedriss] to my hand!"

After catching the card that popped out from the D panel and adding it to his hand, Soreva waved his hand at IV, who had already made a move:

"Alright, now it's your turn."

"Hmph! This time, I'll make you taste my power! My turn, draw a card!"

His finger yanked heavily from the top of the deck, and a smile instantly spread across IV's face as he looked at the card that had been drawn. He immediately drew a card from his hand and slapped it onto his D-card panel.

"I usually summon [Mechanical Golem - Trojan Horse of Death]!"

As the purplish-black puppet-like wooden horse appeared on the field of IV, a helpless expression appeared on Soreva's face:

"If I remember correctly, this card's effect should only be activated after it's destroyed, right? Now I can't use the [Punishment of Teaching] I set, otherwise it would have helped him."

After a brief, sarcastic remark, Soreva pointed out IV's purpose in using this card.

"IV, if I'm not mistaken, you should have the card [Puppet's Treasure] in your hand right now, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have taken out [Dead Trojan Horse]."

"That's right! Next, I'll activate the Spell Card [Puppet's Treasure] from my hand! Destroy one monster with [Machine Puppet] in its name on your field, and draw one card from your Deck!"

And what I want to destroy, of course, is the [Trojan Horse of Death]!

As the [Puppet's Treasure Card] lit up on IV's field, [Trojan Horse of Death] was instantly blasted to pieces in a burst of fire. IV, who had already drawn another card from the top of his deck, immediately raised his hand and spoke again.

"When my [Dead Trojan Horse] is destroyed by an effect, I can Special Summon two monsters with 1000 or less ATK and the word [Machine Golem] from my hand!"

As he spoke, IV raised his hand, picked up two cards from his hand, and showed them to Soreva:

"Now, I will Special Summon these two [Machine Golem - Necromancer] and [Machine Golem - Shadow Toucher] from my hand!"

As two cards fell from IV's hand onto the Duel Disk, a blonde doll that sat up from a coffin and another bizarre puppet with two blue humanoid heads connected, each supporting itself on its limbs, appeared on IV's field.

Seeing the appearance of these two monsters, Soreva also began to have some doubts:

"Two level 8 monsters, looks like he's planning to perform an Xyz Summon? But..."

Looking at [Knight of Guidance Friedriss] in his hand, Soreva felt a little more at ease:

"Fortunately, with this [Knight of Guidance] card, it's useless no matter which monster he oversummons!"

Just as Soreva had predicted, IV, who had two Xyz Monsters on his field, immediately raised his hand and began the incantation for an Xyz Summon:

"I'm Xyz Summoning my Level 8 Shadow Toucher and Necromancer from my field! I'm building a network of two monsters! "

Appear! [No. 40 Mechanical Puppet - Heavenly String Player]!

A giant, pitch-black puppet wielding a greatsword suddenly appeared, standing in stark contrast to the giant [Daytime of the Fierce Guide] on Soreva's side.

Although [Heavenly Strings]'s attack is 1000 points lower than [Daytime of the Devil]'s, IV does not believe that Duel Monsters can be distinguished solely by their attack power.

"Then, I activate the effect of [Heavenly String Player]!"

As IV raised his hand and shouted, a red light flashed instantly in the eyes of [Heavenly String Player].

"Once per turn, detach 1 Xyz Material from this card and place a String Counter on every monster on the field other than this card! During your opponent's End Phase, destroy all monsters with String Counters, and both players take damage equal to the combined ATK of the destroyed monsters!"

After IV explained the effect of [Heavenly String Player], an Xyz Material immediately flew out from beside [Heavenly String Player] and disappeared into the huge crack that had been cut open in the upper body of [Heavenly String Player].

Then, threads emerged from the crack, like venomous snakes, seemingly searching for their prey.

But how could Soreva let him succeed so easily?

"At that very moment, I chained the effect of [Heavenly Strings] and activated the effect of [Teaching Knight Friedrich] in my hand!"
