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

"Light Emperor, Level 6/Light/Warrior" "ATK: 2400/DEF: 1000"

The Heavenly Emperor's scepter slammed into the ground, unleashing a burst of golden light, from which the Emperor of Light, clad in golden armor, was born.

As soon as it appeared, it conjured two light spears and threw them to the sides.

"When 'Light Emperor' is successfully Special Summoned, its effect activates. Destroy 'True Emperor's Domain' and a face-down card in the back row. At this moment, chain-activate the Trap Card: 'Trap Trap E'!"

【Trap Trap E (Normal Trap): You can activate this effect by discarding 1 card from your hand. Set 1 Continuous Trap Card from your hand or Graveyard to your field. This Set effect can also be activated the turn the card is Set.】

The final card that stands up is a card for recycling, and it goes without saying what Wendy wants to collect.

"Discard 'Ancient Saint Dai the First Dragon' and re-set the Continuous Trap 'Combo Emperor'. Then, because I destroyed two of my own cards, I draw two more cards from my deck based on the effect of 'Light Emperor'."

This not only replenishes your hand but also provides an extra opportunity for a Triple Summon.

Most high-ranking emperors have excellent board clearing abilities, which are more than enough to disrupt the board.

"It seems the only way is to force it out. Fortunately, it's this card that we're recovering."

Yuki removed two cards from the Duel Disk, and the Extra Monster Zone popped out of the Duel Disk at his will.

"Use the light-attribute 'Thunder Emperor' and 'Messenger of the Illusionary Wax Pavilion' to set a link marker, connect and summon 'Radiant Light Spirit Master Lena,' and activate 'Lena's' effect to revive 'Thunder Emperor.' Then, use the dark-attribute 'Twin Souls' to combine with the 'Thunder Emperor' circuit to connect and summon L-ink2, 'Shadow Spirit Master Dark!'"

The octagonal arrow's connecting gate was opened, and two tornadoes poured into the arrow, summoning the "Spirit Envoy" who controls elemental power.

They alone are certainly no match for Wendy's Emperor. However, Yuki's target is only the attributes of these two monsters that are not written on the cards.

Both "Lena" and "Dark" are monsters Special Summoned from the Extra Deck.

"This fulfills the conditions for summoning that monster."

"That monster, ah, is that the card you got from the D Alliance?"

Wendy thought for a moment and remembered what Youxi was referring to.

"Yes, that's the card."

You Xi nodded.

A few days before the Star Cup was restarted, D Alliance held a special commendation ceremony for the Duel Island incident.

At the time, media reporters gathered, and Yuki, Hoshino Mai, Izayoi, as well as Kaiba Mashiro and Wendy, all received public commendation from the D Alliance.

Needless to say, different levels of medals were awarded based on contributions, and the bounty for "Doomsday Bell" was also distributed in full. However, the most important rewards for duelists were naturally the card rewards.

What Yu Xi received was a D-Alliance exclusive card, which was only awarded to those who made outstanding contributions in extremely serious incidents.

That card not only has considerable authority within the D Alliance and can be used as a globally recognized ID card, but it also symbolizes the Miracle of the Stars and is proof of courage and heroism.

Undoubtedly, its power is also very strong.

During "Thunder Emperor's" first extra destruction, this card was sent to the Graveyard. However, it was later retrieved by Yuki.

It would be troublesome if Youxi called me out.

"Perpetual Trap: Emperor of Combos activated."

With that in mind, Wendy immediately got to work.

She wanted to nip the threat in the bud.

"Based on its effect, immediately perform one Superior Summon during the opponent's main phase. Release 'Erebus, the Underworld Emperor' and 'Lena, the Radiant Light Spirit,' and Superior Summon 'Testaros, the Demon Flame Emperor'!!"

Chapter 249 God of Destruction! Obelisk!!

"Descend, 'Emperor of Evil Flames, Testaros'!"

The flames, tinged with elements of darkness, blazed fiercely amidst the howls of the evil spirits.

The flames swept towards "Underworld Emperor" and "Zero Ouroboros," engulfing them completely. Then, the two flames collided in mid-air, transforming into a towering tornado.

Emerging from the massive tornado was an emperor of an even higher rank.

Its dark coloration was accompanied by distorted air due to the intense heat, and skeletal steam swirled around it. The immense size of its body exuded an aura comparable to that of the two emperors of the underworld, and countless sparks flickered between the gaps in its armor.

"Evil Flame Emperor Testaros, Level 10/Fire/Fire" "ATK: 3000/DEF: 1000"

Standing before this emperor, Wendy slowly said, "The 'Evil Flame Emperor' can be Tribute Summoned by Tributing one of the opponent's monsters and one of my Tribute Summoned Monsters."

Unlike other monsters that require the "Emperor's Whirlwind" as a prelude, the "Evil Flame Emperor" possesses the power to devour the opponent's monsters, and it does more than that.

"Then, if the Superior Summon is successful, the effect of 'Evil Flame Emperor' activates, randomly banishing 1 card from your opponent's hand and inflicting 1000 damage to them. 【Cursed Flame - Great Fireball】!!"

As the Emperor punched the ground, a surging wave of flames swept over him, turning one of Yuki's cards into ashes and taking away a portion of his life points.

[Yu Xi's LP: 7000 → 6000]

"The 'Evil Flame Emperor' originally had a follow-up effect, but since you don't have any cards on your field right now, it won't activate. How about that, Yuuki? You were originally planning to use a card like 'Forbidden Grail' to protect 'Zero Ouroboros,' right? You didn't expect the monster itself to be eaten directly, did you?"

Wendy, who had successfully prevented the "Zero Ouroboros" from clearing the field, said to Yu Xi, who shook his head slightly.

"I really didn't expect it to turn out this way. But you're wrong about one thing, Wendy. The result is actually pretty much what I imagined—'Zero Ouroboros' itself was a bait. I activate 'Angel's Charity' (Normal Spell)! Draw 3 cards from my deck, then discard 2."

To be honest, the appearance of "Evil Flame Emperor" really startled him, but luckily the card slash didn't hit his most crucial hand card.

This gives him the potential to turn things around even after losing the "Zero Ouroboros".

With a quick glance at the card he had drawn, Yu Xi then inserted the second magic card into the spell/trap card slot.

Suddenly, a skeleton wrapped in a black robe appeared in the front field.

"Activate 'The Curtain of Dark Magic'! Based on this card's effect, pay half of your Life Points to Special Summon one 'Dark Magic' monster from your Deck. Come forth, 'Dark Magician Girl'!"

"Dark Magician Girl, Level 6/Dark/Mage" "ATK: 2000/DEF: 1700"

[Yu Xi's LP: 6000 → 3000]

As the skeleton lifted its robe, accompanied by light and melodious music, a cute magical girl with delicate cheeks and rosy blushes floated into the scene.

Its appearance was met with enthusiastic cheers from the gentlemen.

While "Radiant Light Spirit Master Lena" is also cute, "Dark Magician Girl" is superior in terms of looks and allure.

The full heart-shaped mound on her chest is particularly eye-catching.

"Because a 'Dark Magician' exists in the cemetery, the 'Dark Magician Girl's' attack power increases by 300."

"But that's only 2300."

Wendy cautioned, "This mascot alone can't fight my Emperor, Yuki."

"Of course, it won't just be 'Dark Magician Girl'."

Yuki played her second card from her changed hand: "Activate the Spell Card: 'Servant of Souls.' Place 1 card with the name of either 'Dark Magician' or 'Dark Magician Girl' on the top of your Deck. Then banish this card from your Graveyard, and draw cards based on the number of 'Dark Magician,' 'Dark Magician Girl,' and 'Guardian Priest' cards on either player's field or in their Graveyard."

"Besides 'Dark Magician,' I also have 'Guardian Priestess Mana' in my graveyard, which was discarded due to the effect of 'Angel's Charity,' so I'll draw 3 cards!"

"I see."

Wendy roughly understood Yu Xi's intentions.

"If I use 'Servant of the Soul' to search for 'Black Burst Destruction Magic,' I can wipe out my Emperor in one fell swoop. It's a good method."

"Black Explosion Magic," the special magic of the "Dark Magician Girl," is simply "lightning strike," and its power needs no further explanation.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if the "Dark Magician Girl" is actually weak in combat.

However, with the "Advanced Evolution Zone" and the "Emperor of True Origin" present, Wendy can make a comeback at any time. The achievements brought by the "Dark Magician Girl" are only temporary and have little impact on the overall situation.

"Do not."

But upon hearing Wendy's words, Yu Xi shook his head again.

"Initially, I did intend to do that, but now I have a better option. I activate the Quick-Play Spell: 'Inheritance of Dark Magic,' banishing two Spell/Trap Cards from my Graveyard and adding any Spell/Trap Card in my Deck with the name 'Dark Magician' or 'Dark Magician Girl' to my hand. I choose 'Magic Pigeon' and activate it!"

【魔力鸽（速攻魔法）：自己场上有「黑魔术少女」时可以发动。使自己场上的「黑魔导女孩 」返回手牌，将2只「鸽衍生物」（攻0?守0?1星?风?鸟兽族）以表侧守备表示特殊召唤到自己的场上。结束阶段时可以将「鸽衍生物」破坏并从手牌特殊召唤1只「黑魔术少女」。】

Return "Dark Magician Girl" to your hand, then Special Summon 2 "Pigeon Tokens"!

As soon as Yu Xi finished speaking, a magic trick appeared out of thin air and covered the "Black Magic Girl." In the pink smoke, two white doves took flight towards the sunlight, landed, and made a "coo coo coo" sound.

"Giving up the opportunity to clear the area, and choosing this instead?"

Wendy was curious about Youxi's puzzling actions, but she quickly lost interest in paying attention to it.

Because Yu Xi played a brand new magic card from his hand, the unfamiliar card image and the intense divine power emanating from it attracted everyone's attention.

"—Now for the main event, quick-attack spell activated: 'Intertwined Souls'!"

【Intertwined Souls (Quick-Play Spell): Can only be activated during your or your opponent's Main Phase. Tribute Summon 1 Mythical Beast-Type monster. At that time, you can also Tribute monsters on your opponent's field in place of monsters on your field. If you Tribute monsters on your opponent's field to Tribute Summon, the following effect applies.】

●After this card is activated, you can only activate the effects of Spell/Trap/Monster monsters other than Divine Beast Monsters once per turn until the end of your next turn.

"What?! Using my monster as a sacrifice for a high-level summon!?"

Wendy looked incredibly surprised, almost forgetting her usual persona.

"This is an eye for an eye! I offer 'Emperor of Light,' 'Emperor of Heaven,' and 'Moon Dragon, Seregrel' as sacrifices!"

Amidst her and everyone else's shocked gazes, You Xi slowly pulled out one of her cards.

An immense, overwhelming pressure, as heavy as a mountain, instantly emanated from the card. Before even seeing the card's true form, everyone understood what it was.

"When it arrives, scorching winds will sweep across the land, and the living will become corpses! When light and darkness intertwine, the ritual to summon the obelisk will begin! Descend—the Titan of Obelisk!!"

The three monsters whose names were called by Yuki instantly disintegrated into countless points of light, which were absorbed into the card by "Intertwined Souls," and then...

A thick blue beam of light descended from the sky.

Within the pillar of light, behind Youxi, a giant of azure blue slowly straightened up.

Compared to many monsters that use their large size as a selling point, the giant is only about twenty meters tall at most, but the enormous presence it exudes is far beyond what those monsters can match.

Its skin is deep blue and rocky, adorned with muscular blocks that look like chiseled knives and axes, and its wings on its back resemble broad axe blades.

No one doubts that this god will lose to "Osiris the Sky Dragon".
