Chapter 264 The Failed War of the Gods (5k refresh)

After seeing the God Card for the first time during Yuuki and Wendy's duel, many people were actually looking forward to seeing the Phantom God appear again.

But they never expected that when they saw it again, it wasn't the phantom god summoned by Youxi, but rather his opponent who had achieved this goal first.

Behind the petite bunny-eared loli, a dazzling azure pillar of light emanated from her, exuding an immense presence.

A giant, as majestic as a mountain, stands silently on the earth, its steady and heavy pressure pressing down on everyone's hearts.

"It actually summoned it!?"

The people who were most surprised were Izayoi Yuki and Hoshino Mai.

As Yu Xi's confidantes, they knew best how powerful and terrifying the God Cards were, and how difficult they were to control.

Yuki had thought that Mashiro Kaiba would suffer a lot in this matter, and she was probably prepared to appease the Giant Warrior in time. But to her surprise, Mashiro Kaiba succeeded on the first try.

Compared to the two girls, You Xi felt a sense of both surprise and inevitability.

"Did it really work?"

"Yes, as expected of the Kaiba family."

Wang Yang also sighed, "Although I don't know how she did it, since she has such a huge world power, she must have some special reliance. For example, a tool like a Millennium Artifact."

This duel reminded him of his fateful showdown with Seto Kaiba in Duel City.

The God Card that Seto Kaiba used back then was also "Obelisk the Tormentor," and this scene gave him a sense of nostalgia, as if the scene was being reenacted.

As Seto Kaiba's alternate-world counterpart, the Kaiba Lairen achieved such great success, surely leaving behind much for his descendants besides the Millennium Puzzle. The Blue-Eyes deck is one example, but certainly not the only one.

As its direct descendant, Mashiro Kaiba should be able to receive some benefit from it. It's just a matter of what it is—he doesn't understand this world at all, so who knows what could be more outrageous than the God Cards?

Of course, it could also be due to the sense of destiny in this duel.

"Black Magician" VS "Blue-Eyes"

"God" VS "God"

In Wang Yang's eyes, this scene was too much like a replica of that duel.

It's very likely that Obelisk the Tormentor was willing to be temporarily controlled by Mashiro Kaiba for this reason, and because he wanted to fight Osiris.

But let’s put it this way…

"Be careful, Yu Xi."

Wang Yang suddenly said in You Xi's mind, "If it's really as I think, then this will be a trial for you."

"Trial?"

"Yes, do you remember what happened after my duel with Kaiba?"

Under Wang Yang's patient guidance, Yuki also recalled information about Duel City.

Fortunately, he was very familiar with Duel City and didn't need much time to understand what Yugi meant.

"you mean……"

"Yes, this will be the beginning of your trial to obtain the final God Card: 'The Winged Dragon of Ra'."

"Are you alright, Lord Cangren?"

Compared to Yuki and the others who made all sorts of wild guesses and speculations, Kaiba Aoto understood the reason much better.

Hearing Eliza's call, Kaiba Sojin rubbed his temples, his expression revealing his exhaustion: "It's nothing, don't worry about Eliza, I'm fine. The experiment was a great success."

"Even so, it's still too dangerous."

Eliza advised, "The power of the God Cards is evident to all. It's easy to run into problems if you try to fight against them with only mental strength. Why don't you give a direct hint to Miss Mashiro not to make such an attempt? That way, this kind of thing won't happen."

Kaiba Sōjin said calmly, "Eliza, you should know that unless Mashiro faces a real life-or-death crisis, I would never do such a thing. She is my only younger sister, how could I bear to twist her will?"

"Even if it takes a detour, it's fine. I'm not without the confidence to do it. Besides, I still have you as a backup plan."

Kaiba Sōjin glanced at Elizabeth's neck, where a piece of jewelry, which should have been there like a sex toy, was nowhere to be seen.

As for where that piece of jewelry is now, it goes without saying.

In the palm of the Seahorse Man, a scepter quietly emitted a golden light.

"Thank you for your hard work, Eliza. I'll reward you properly later."

"It's nothing."

Eliza shook her head: "It is my honor to serve Lord Soujin, but then again, Lord Soujin really cares about Lady Mashiro."

"There's no other way. She's my only sister, and I can't let anything happen to her. So please don't say that again, Eliza."

"...Yes, I will keep it in mind."

"Hmph (。-`ω?-) I knew this wouldn't be difficult for me!"

Seahorse Mashiro didn't think that much about it at all.

She initially thought the Titan was cool and liked it, so she used "Obedience of the Gods" to get the card when she had the chance.

Upon acquiring it, Mashiro Kaiba had a gut feeling that he could summon it and make it fight for him.

Mashiro Kaiba has always trusted her intuition, and in fact, this intuition has never been wrong since she was a child.

So he summoned it without hesitation.

Of course, this could also be interpreted as losing one's mind when one has a god in hand, and only thinking about summoning the god.

The current outcome proves that her intuition was correct.

...Although the consumption of Feel was extremely high, so high that it felt like it was going to drain her completely.

"How about that, Yuki? I summoned a god! Surprised? You dared to underestimate me before!"

With her small chest heaving, Mashiro Kaiba excitedly said that the successful summoning of the gods had clearly swelled her confidence to an unprecedented level.

Then You Xi poured cold water on him.

"I was indeed surprised, but summoning a god doesn't mean anything, Mashiro. The duel has only just begun; what follows is a battle of gods."

"A war of gods?"

“That’s right. Since you’ve summoned a god, how can I be left behind?”

Yu Xi said, "Because of the effect of 'Heavenly Treasure Card,' I draw 5 cards, and you draw 6, Mashiro. Then I activate the Spell Card 'Pot of Greed,' drawing 2 cards from my deck. And then it's a Quick-Play Spell: 'Intertwined Souls'!"

A vibrant green card appeared before him, depicting the Titan accepting a sacrifice, but it wasn't the one that would be appearing this time.

"Based on this card's effect, this turn, I can Tribute 1 Mythical Beast-Type monster to Summon a Mythical Beast-Type monster."

"However, because of the effect of the 'Spell Card [Soul Intertwined]', 'Obelisk the Tormentor' will not be Tributed this turn!" Kaiba Mashiro emphasized.

"It's okay, you have enough monsters left on the field."

You Xi took out a card, and following the azure pillar of light, golden lightning also burst forth from his fingertips, spreading across the sky.

"Unleash the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the Blue-Eyes Breathing Dragon, and the Giant Fang Dragon! As the sky roars with chaos, gather the ancient grimoires within the chain, their power reaching limitless! When good and evil collide, begin the ritual to summon the judge of hell! Descend—"

"The Sky Dragon of Osiris!!!"

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

—You used my "Dark Magician" as a sacrifice, then I'll use your "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".

The three dragon beasts whose names were called by Yu Xi were engulfed by golden lightning and transformed into a crimson light.

The light continued to extend, revealing a pair of hundred-meter-long fleshy wings that spread out, followed by a thick, slender serpentine body, and a majestic dragon head with azure crystals embedded in its forehead.

The crimson dragon coiled behind Youxi, its lower jaw, which was overlapping the other two, wide open, unleashing an angry and long roar at the azure giant opposite it.

The provoked "Giant Warrior" was not to be outdone and responded with a roar as powerful as a mountain.

If they hadn't yet received orders from the duelists, the two phantom gods would probably have already begun their battle.

Less than a round into the duel, the God Cards appeared one after another and became hostile to each other.

God vs. God.

The simple words, when put together, create an exceptionally thrilling scene.

Before this, even the most imaginative person could not have predicted such an explosive development.

This was truly a battle of the finals level; the climax came right from the start.

Without giving everyone a moment to rest or catch their breath, Yuki, after summoning the Phantom God, immediately declared that they were about to enter the battle phase.

"I now have 5 cards in my hand. 'Osiris' has an attack power of 5000, which is higher than 'Obelisk'! Here we go, Mashiro! 'Osiris the Sky Dragon' attacks 'Obelisk the Tormentor', [Superconducting Wave - Lightning Cannon]!"

Golden lightning gathered in the mouth of the "Sky Dragon of Osiris," transforming into the most magnificent and terrifying natural disaster that struck Kaiba Mashiro directly.

Despite being nearly drained by the God Card, Kaiba Mashiro remained unfazed by the attack.

"Well done! Let's settle this with a battle between gods, Yuki! Activate the effect of 'Demon Pole' in my hand!"

Mashiro Kaiba shows a picture where a dark demon appears beside her.

Next was a dragon beast that was no different from a common enemy in the war of the gods.

"During the Battle Phase, this card can be Special Summoned from my hand, and I recover 1000 Life Points. But that's not all! At the same time, I activate the effect of 'Verification Dragon'! When your opponent declares an attack, this card is Special Summoned, and I recover Life Points equal to half of its DEF. Its DEF is 2400, so its Life Points increase by 1200."

【Seahorse True White LP: 6000→8200】

The life points lost by Kaiba Mashiro due to "Obedience of the Heavenly Voice" have been restored to a higher value than before, but that's not the point. The point is that Kaiba Mashiro now has two more monsters on his field.

"When the monster appears, 'Sky Dragon of Osiris' will activate its effect [Summon Lightning Bomb], but before that, 'Obelisk the Tormentor's' effect will activate!"

Kaiba Mashiro waved her hand and said, "Release the 'Demon Form Pole' and the 'Verification Dragon,' making its attack power infinite. [Soul Charge MAX]!"

"Obelisk the Titan, ATK: 4000 → ∞"

Without any hesitation, the Giant Warrior bent down, grabbed one of the two monsters summoned by Kaiba Mashiro, and crushed it. Its pure soul energy flowed into its body, completely unlocking its limiter.

Its combat power also instantly soared to a terrifying level that it had once only briefly achieved.

Such invincible power is far beyond what "Osiris" can match.

"Obelisk! Defeat the god on the other side! [God Fist Crushing Strike]!"
