Want to play cards? I'll use my King's Deck!

Because the true gods, who only exist in mythology, stood right behind the boy at that moment.

Correcting Grapha's misconception, Yu Xi continued, "Because of your offense, 'Osiris' is very angry, Grapha. Now, let me show you its wrath."

"You're saying this is God?"

Grafa wanted to laugh at Yuxi's delusions, but under the gaze of that hellish judge, he simply couldn't bring himself to say such self-deceiving words.

Moreover, the most basic information about the monster that came into view indicated that this was not just empty talk from Yu Xi.

God attribute, Phantom Beast race... To date, in the written history of human duels, only the Western League's "Triple God" has this characteristic. If this is not a god, then there are no God Cards in the world.

What a joke!

To think I'd encounter something so extraordinary here... Is Dawn City some kind of hidden powerhouse? Why would a duelist who wields the God Cards suddenly appear?

Why……

There's absolutely no information from the Doomsday Bell's intelligence network?

If I had known this kind of thing existed, I would never have accepted the mission so easily! Is that bastard trying to scam me?!

Grafa mentally cursed his colleague's entire family, while Yuxi held up his hand to indicate, "The attack and defense of 'Sky Dragon of Osiris' are equal to the number of cards in my hand multiplied by 1000. I currently have 7 cards in my hand, so its attack becomes 7000!"

"Osiris the Sky Dragon, Level 10 / Divine / Mythical Beast" "ATK: ? → 7000 / DEF: ? → 7000"

Its debut was marked by an attack power of 7000, which broke through the ceiling. Even though it wasn't overwhelmed by the "Dark Guardian Sword," the strongest "Chaos King of the Dark Realm" in Grafa at the time was no match for it.

Grafa should feel fortunate that, out of caution, he had summoned all his monsters in defense position. Otherwise, Yuki wouldn't have needed to do anything extra and could have easily defeated him with "Osiris".

"But even gods must abide by the rules of duels!"

For the first time, Grafa felt the pace of the duel was out of his control, but he managed to stay calm.

"I have five monsters in Defense Position on my field. Your God Card can only take out one of them at most, so you still can't beat me!"

"We'll use this card to break through this defense!"

Ignoring the potential harm that might weaken the power of the Phantom God, Yuki played a new card from his hand.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Monster Resurrection'!"

【Spell Card "Monster Resurrection" (Quick-Play Spell): You can only activate 1 card with this name per turn.】

①: You can target 1 monster in either your or your opponent's Graveyard; Special Summon that monster to your field. This turn, the monster Special Summoned by this effect cannot attack or activate its effects.

At first glance, it might seem like a card similar to "Monster Resurrection," but it's not.

The quick-attack spell grants it even more freedom of resistance than "Monster Resurrection." Although there is some self-restriction, it doesn't significantly affect what it's about to do.

"What I want to resurrect is 'Raven the Demon God' from your graveyard!"

"Osiris the Sky Dragon, ATK: 7000 → 6000"

The holy light of resurrection flashed, and Yuki summoned the demonic soul from the Graveyard to his field. It was the same material monster he had previously used for "Baron de Flore".

[Resurrecting and adjusting monsters, could it be that Izumi-kun is planning to...?]

"I've seen it many times, and I've also experienced it many times from Izayoi-kun. There won't be any problems."

Yu Xi recalled the teachings of Izayoi Yuki from years past, capturing that spark of inspiration, and then—

Open your eyes slowly.

"Here we go, Izayoi-kun! Lend me your power! I'll use my 2-star 'Magical God Raven' to adjust the star level of my 6-star 'Dark Magician Girl'."

In order to summon the god, all three monsters that Yuuki had on the field before, including the "Black Witch" who guarded the table, were sacrificed. Now only "Dark Magician Girl" and "Kuriko Madoka" remain. As Yuuki's voice fell, "Raven" transformed into two emerald green star rings and passed through the body of "Dark Magician Girl".

Six stars lined up in a row, their dazzling white light blinding the eye.

2 stars + 6 stars = 8 stars!

"The awe-inspiring power of a king is now on display! Behold the earth-shattering force! Synchronous Summon—Appear! [Crimson Dragon]!!"

"Crimson Dragon, Level 8/Dark/Dragon/Synchro" "ATK: 3000/DEF: 2000"

"Roar--!"

Crimson flames burned, accompanied by a thunderous roar, as a crimson dragon with curved ram horns roared down.

Seeing the demon dragon flutter down its wings, scattering sparks, and hovering in front of Yuki, Grafa exclaimed in surprise, "'Crimson Dragon'? Isn't that that little girl's card?!"

"I picked up the cards when they were scattered on the ground."

Yuki explained in one sentence why this Synchro Monster appeared in his Extra Deck: he had been looking for an opportunity to use this card, and now he had finally done so.

This is Yuki's first Synchro Summon, and he will work with Izayoi Yuki's ace Soul Card to win this duel.

"Izayoi-kun is not weak, Grafa. Let's prove it with this battle! This is a revenge battle! Switch 'Kuriko Madoka' to attack position and enter battle phase!"

"—The Crimson Lotus Demon Dragon attacks, [Absolute Power Suppression]!!"

"Izumi-san..."

As Yuki waved goodbye to her departing figure, Izayoi Yuki didn't know how to express her feelings at that moment.

Unexpectedly, Yu Xi was actually able to summon his trump card.

I never imagined that I could fight alongside You Xi in this way.

All of this was made possible by Yuki's relentless struggle. Anyone else would have fallen to the flames of the Earthbound God by now.

"The strong one isn't me, Izumi-kun. It's you... 'Crimson Dragon,' please lend Izumi-kun your strength, carrying my feelings with you!"

"Roar!!!"

As if responding to its master's wishes, the "Crimson Lotus Demon Dragon" let out a deafening roar, and the dazzling crimson demon flames concentrated on its palm before slamming down on Grafa's position.

The bombardment of flames not only completely destroyed the "Dragon Knight," but also affected the monsters on both sides.

"This is the effect of the 'Crimson Lotus Demon Dragon'!"

[This card activates after damage calculation when it attacks an opponent's Defense Position monster. Destroy all Defense Position monsters on your opponent's field.]

"【Demon Meteor】!!"

Wipe them out in one shot!

The spreading crimson lotus swept across the surroundings, including monsters such as the "Flower Baron" in its attack range, destroying them all.

With just one attack, Yuki successfully cleared out Grafa.

"This is the 'Crimson Dragon'... Izayoi-kun's true power!"

"Damn it! Is that why you used 'Dark Seal Sword' to cover my monsters first, just to maximize the effect of this monster?"

Grafa finally understood the deeper meaning behind Yuxi's earlier use of the "Dark Seal Sword" to clear the field.

Even back then, this brat was already plotting to use this move to eliminate his human shield once and for all.

"But! You still overlooked one thing! The effect of 'Dragon God King of the Dark Realm' has activated!"

[This Fusion Summoned card can only be activated if your opponent leaves the field. Special Summon 1 "Dark World Dragon God Grapha" from your Graveyard or banished monsters. Then, players with cards in their hand discard 1 card from their hand.]

"Even if it's set, 'Dragon God King of the Dark Realm' will still be summoned by Fusion Summoning; that won't change. Return to my field, 'Dragon God Grafa of the Dark Realm'!"

"Grafa, the Dragon God of the Dark Realm, DEF: 2100"

Dark lightning tore through dimensions, and the primordial "Dragon God" demon emerged from the crack, becoming the new shield on the Grafa field.

Now that "Crimson Dragon" has already attacked, the only card left for Yuki to defeat "Dragon God" is that God Card. Not to mention, the subsequent effect of "Dragon God King" can trigger new "Dark Realm" power.

"The card I discarded is 'Gold the Warrior of the Dark World,' and this monster will also be resurrected from the Graveyard. Kid, you won't even touch a hair on my LP!"

"It's hard to say."

You Xi pointed his finger towards the sky—

"The moment you Special Summon 'Dragon God of the Dark Realms,' the effect of 'Sky Dragon of Osiris' also activates! It will immediately launch an additional attack against your monster!"

"what?"

Grafa suddenly looked up and saw that the crimson dragon had somehow closed its lower half of its mouth and opened its upper half.

Azure lightning flashed and burst forth within it.

"If your opponent controls a monster that is Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned, reduce its ATK or DEF by 2000 points, depending on its battle position. If this effect reduces its DEF to 0, destroy that monster. Take this [Thunderbolt]!"

"boom!"

The lightning ball struck the "Dragon God's" body, and the pervasive electric light completely shattered the power within it.

"Dragon God of the Dark Realm, DEF: 2100→100"

"It can launch an attack the instant the monster appears, what a powerful effect!"

Grafa was once again shocked by the power of the Phantom God, and his plans were ruined.

"Even if the 'God of War' were to be resurrected, its defense would only be 1700 even with the amplification from the 'Gate of Darkness,' unable to withstand the [Summoning Lightning Bomb]. In terms of attack, it would be nothing more than a target for a god."

Yu Xi said in a deep voice, "As for the 'Dragon God of the Dark Realm,' whose defenses have been reduced to the limit, I'll leave this guy to you—'Kuri-chan' attacks the 'Dragon God of the Dark Realm'!"

"Krikrik!"

With its short claws forming an adorable salute, the only remaining white Kuriboh in the field charged resolutely towards "Dragon God," using its attack power of just over 300 to slay the terrifying demon dragon under its claws.

—Chestnut Circle KOs the Dragon God of the Dark World.

"Damn it, they actually used this monster to defeat my 'Dragon God'! What a humiliation!"

Grafa was furious.

It's truly a case of a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs. Under normal circumstances, how could a little kid like "Chestnut Round" dare to try and scam his ace?

Is now the time to get angry about this?

Yu Xi warned Grafa, "The gods' attack is coming! The 'Sky Dragon of Osiris' is attacking directly!"

After blasting the golden war god, who had just resurrected less than a second ago, with a [Summoning Lightning Bomb], "Osiris" prepared to open his lower jaw again. Seeing this, Grafa coldly said, "Naive, brat. Don't think I only have the 'Dragon God King' move. What you're about to face is the true Wailing Wall!"

"Activate the Trap Card—'Cry of the Living Dead'!"

【Cry of the Living Dead (Continuous Trap): You can activate this card by targeting 1 monster in your Graveyard. Special Summon that monster in Attack Position. When this card leaves the field, destroy that monster. When that monster is destroyed, destroy this card.】
