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

Yu Xi frowned as he looked at the "Phantom Collapse" monsters standing in front of the venomous snakes.

"You accomplished it in one round?"

EX-LINK is a specific term used in the Link Summoning rules.

This refers to the situation where, if all Link Monsters are linked to each other, the duelist can summon a new Link Monster in the Extra Monster Zone indicated by the Link Monster's arrow. Only under this condition is it permissible to use an extra Extra Monster Zone.

It is quite obvious that these "Phantom Collapse" monsters have already formed such a pattern.

"Both of your extra monster zones are now occupied, and there are no trespass arrows leading to your main monster zone."

The viper coldly declared, "In other words, with 'Evalius' on the field, you can no longer Special Summon any monsters."

“But it can also be my reliable shield.” Yu Xi wasn’t intimidated by the venomous snake’s words. “As long as you still want to seal my special summon, you can’t actively destroy it. And that won’t force out the ‘Super Electromagnetic Turtle’ in my graveyard.”

"Ridiculous! Do you really think those things can stop me, who possesses the power of a 'Earthbound God'?"

The viper chuckled and said, "Continue. The effect of 'Unicorn' activates: discard your hand, choose a face-down card from your back row, return it to your deck, and draw 1 card."

"Chain-activated trap card: 'Mortal's Charity'!"

Yuuki pressed the button on the Duel Disk: "Draw 2 cards from your deck, then banish the Normal Monster 'Chaos Warrior' from your hand!"

"Is the second card also a Free Chain Trap Card? You're really lucky. I'll set another card on the field. It's your turn, kid. Let me see what you're capable of now."

With a backcourt double block, Viper finally ended his long round.

Now, it's You Xi's turn to face this formidable challenge.

If Akabane Akane were using the "Cyber ​​Dragon" deck here, he could probably clear the field with just one "Cyber ​​Dragon".

Unfortunately, he wasn't using that kind of deck, so he'll have to rely on a bit of luck.

"However, I have faith in my deck. My turn, draw!"

Yu Xi said, "I'll activate the effect of 'Original Sin Treasure - Snake Eyes' in my graveyard. Banish this card, return 'Dark Witch - Diabelstar' from my graveyard to my deck, and add the Level 1 FIRE 'Push Warrior' from my deck to my hand. Then banish the Spell Card 'Sin Treasure Hunting Demon', and return the banished 'Original Sin Treasure - Snake Eyes' to my deck and draw 1."

coming!

Yuki's eyes lit up as she glanced at her newly drawn card, and she played it, shouting, "I activate the Spell Card: 'Black Hole'! Destroy all monsters on the field!"

"it's useless."

The moment Yuki played the card, the Viper's back row immediately activated: "Trap Card: [Twilight Occasion] activated."

【October Hour (Normal): You can target 1 monster in either your or your opponent's Graveyard that cannot be Normal Summoned. Special Summon that monster to your field.】

"Resurrect 'Dreamlike Shadow - Hellhound,' which slumbers in my graveyard, at the location indicated by the right arrow on the 'Griffin' map."

The light of the monster's resurrection shone, and the three-headed hellhound, whose neck was bound by a collar, returned to life and crushed the gravitational energy that was invading this area.

"As long as 'Cerberus' is on the field, my Link Monsters cannot be destroyed by card effects. Only your monsters will be destroyed."

"But this will remove 'Evalis' from my field, allowing me to perform a Special Summon."

The "Black Hole" failed to shatter the Viper's illusionary field, but "Evalius" had already left the field, and Yuki's initial goal had been achieved.

Even so, the predicament you face remains unchanged.

The viper coldly reminded him, "Besides 'Cerberus,' my 'Phantom Collapse' monster also has other monsters. With 'Phoenix' on the field, linked monsters won't be destroyed, and 'Goblin' prevents it from targeting. For monsters that aren't linked, 'Mermaid' lowers their ATK and DEF by 1000, and 'Griffin' prevents Special Summoned monsters from activating their effects if they're not linked."

"Without the restrictions imposed by 'Evalis,' you shouldn't be able to do anything!"

Aside from the absence of Kang, the Viper's formation was almost perfect.

It can't target any monster, can't be destroyed by battle or effect, and can lower the opponent's attack and defense and seal the opponent's monster effects. It truly deserves to be called "Phantom Collapse Fist".

This situation has been successfully created, and many people may not be able to do anything but surrender and wait to die.

—But Yu Xi was not among those people.

"No, things have changed. I summon 'The Apostle of the Sun God' in an attack!"

「太阳神的使徒，等级4/光/天使」「ATK：1100→100/DEF：600→0」

The monster retrieved by the effect of "Toy Soldier" was summoned by Yuki. It was a priest wearing golden armor, similar to "Guardian Priest Mahad".

However, "Mahad" is loyal to its king, while "Apostles of the Sun God," as the name suggests, serve a deity.

"The effect of 'Apostle of Ra' activates! When successfully Summoned, Special Summon 2 'Apostles of Ra' from your Deck. As long as this card is on the field, I cannot Special Summon monsters using any other card effect. 'Apostles of Ra' is Normal Summoned, therefore it is not affected by 'Griffin'."

As You Xi's voice fell, the two "Apostles of the Sun God" transformed from illusion to reality.

A questioning voice came from the venomous snake: "Are you insane?"

"They just broke free from 'Evalis,' yet they've put themselves under a special summoning bondage?"

"Because there is a reason why it must be done to achieve this goal."

Yu Xi grabbed a card in her hand and forcefully threw it out—

"Quick-Play Spell activated! 'Swift Summon'! Based on this card's effect, I can immediately summon one Level 10 monster. I will Tribute the three 'Apostles of the Sun' on the field!"

"What?! They used three monsters as sacrifices?!"

Yu Xi's declaration took the viper by surprise, and in response to the pattern on the magic card, a thunderbolt crashed down from the sky, almost burning away people's retinas.

"When the sky roars with chaos, gather the ancient grimoires from the chain, their power will be limitless! When good and evil collide, begin the ritual to summon the judge of hell! Descend—'Sky Dragon of Osiris'!!!"

"Osiris the Sky Dragon, Level 10 / Legendary / Mythical Beast" "ATK: ? / DEF: ?"

Even the clouds in the sky were blasted apart. The lightning transformed into a dragon, its wings hundreds of meters long spreading out without restraint. The crimson dragon opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and let out a deafening roar towards the opposite side.

A rolling wave of air surged, blowing away all the gravel and grass clippings on the ground.

At that moment, what dominated the venomous snake, and the person who witnessed this scene from afar, was a tremor that went deep into their soul.

"What kind of monster is this!"

Viper's expression was one of disbelief. Even in her worst nightmares, she would never dream of such a thing. And a being of divine attributes at that… She had heard that only that legendary duelist from the Western Alliance possessed such a monster.

"This is not a monster, but a god!"

You Xi said, "Viper, since you've set up the Illusionary Collapse Fist formation, I'll use this card to counter you!"

"Feel the terror of becoming an enemy of God,"

Chapter 201 But I Refusal! (Two Chapters Combined)

"Whoa! What's that?!"

"This is the first time I've ever seen such a monster."

"Who on earth summoned that thing...?"

Thunder and lightning.

With Yuki's full power, the appearance of the "Sky Dragon of Osiris" was impossible to miss. Even from a distance, one could tell that the crimson dragon was no ordinary monster.

This was an even clearer signal for those who knew of the monster's existence.

"Is that... Yuki dueling someone? And she was even forced to use this card. It seems she's encountered an enemy of executive level."

Gazing at the "Sky Dragon of Osiris" from afar, Izayoi Yuki understood.

Ordinary opponents wouldn't warrant Yuki pulling out such a card; only opponents stronger than Grafa would receive this treatment. Of course, it's also possible that Yuki is using this to announce her location, hoping to gather everyone back together.

Using the "Sky Dragon of Osiris" is indeed the best choice for this task.

"But... I'm sorry, Yu Xi. I'm afraid I can't come to see you for the time being."

Izayoi Yuki stepped over the fallen cultists, looked up, confirmed the location of the giant pattern in the sky, and immediately ran towards it.

At the same time, a man wearing a bird-face mask landed in her original spot and followed the trail she left behind, approaching the girl step by step.

On the other side, below the location of the giant pattern, a man wearing a black and white mask also looked up at the sky where the crimson dragon soared.

"Wow—that dragon is really impressive. It looks really good. Compared to that guy, this card in my hand doesn't seem that great at all."

Zhenshi lowered his head and looked at the cards he had casually collected in his hand.

The purple card also features a dragon that controls lightning, but in terms of sheer power, it is far inferior to the crimson dragon.

"Who could have summoned that guy? It must be that boy from Kiyosumi. Not bad, if I go find him now, I should be able to get two collectibles that I like."

He casually tossed the "Super Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon" card onto the floor and then slowly walked towards the Crimson Dragon, seemingly slow but actually fast.

Halfway there, a sharp shout came from behind.

"stop!"

"Ok?"

When Zhenshi turned around, he saw a little girl with rabbit ears and a scarf tied around her head, black hair and blue eyes, glaring angrily at him from behind.

Beside her was an older maid with a wary expression.

"Kaiba Aoto's younger sister, Kaiba Mashiro, and... her personal maid?"

He asked truthfully, "Is there something you need from me?"

"Why are you asking what's wrong!"

Staring intently at the real seahorse Mashiro doesn't make her look scary at all; on the contrary, she has a cuteness that's different from usual.

"You bastard, have you forgotten what you did to our Seahorse family?! You actually dared to show your face in front of me today and make such a mess of the Star Cup. Prepare yourself! I'll stake the honor of the Seahorse family on you, and I will definitely defeat you right here and now. I won't let you escape!"

"The honor of the seahorse family, huh... Hah."

Kaiba Mashiro's impassioned speech sounded to Mashiro like a funny joke, eliciting only a soft chuckle. This attitude further displeased the bunny-eared loli.

"what's so funny!"

"No, I just suddenly remembered something interesting. But this has nothing to do with you. It seems you've been well protected by your elder brother, little girl."

The laughter subsided, and he turned slightly to the maid beside him, saying, "Are you just going to watch? Watch your master come to his death?"

"If I could persuade her, I would certainly do my best to advise her, but unfortunately, the young lady is also a pure-blooded member of the Kaiba family, inheriting the stubbornness of generations of Kaiba family members."

Saki shrugged helplessly, as if she had already given up.
