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

“Senior Amagi has already told me that if the [Fragment of Creation] is extracted from my body, my Duel Spirits may disappear. Therefore, even if it is to prevent that from happening, I must become your enemy.”

"Oh, is that all? Well, there's nothing we can do about it then."

Kaiba Aoto understood that there was no point in continuing with this nonsense.

He originally wanted to talk to You Xi some more, but suddenly lost interest.

"Then come and stop me, Yuki."

Seahorse Cangren said directly, "The reason I have been holding back here is to wait for this battle with you—our ancestors placed so many expectations on you, and I really want to know if you are the more suitable one. I believe you should also be looking forward to this moment."

"Right on my mind!"

Despite the fatigue accumulated from several consecutive duels, and the depletion of his senses, Yuki's fighting spirit and energy remained strong.

He activated the Duel Disk and placed his deck into it.

The same applies to the seahorse.

The two exchanged a glance—

"Duel!!"

【Yu Xi LP: 8000】

【Seahorse Cangren LP: 8000】

Surrounded by the stone statues of the four dragons and under the watchful gaze of the "Tyrannosaurus Rex Zak" sculpture, the final battle finally began.

Unfortunately, it wasn't Youxi who made the first move this time either.

"My turn."

His gaze swept over his starting hand, and Kaiba Sōjin casually slapped one card onto his duel disk.

"I summon 'DD Sage of Magic Kepler' in an attack stance."

"DD Sage of Magic, Kepler, Level 1/Pendulum, ATK: 0"

As Kaiba Sojin moved, light and shadow flickered, and a strange demon-type monster materialized and appeared on the field.

"DD", or "DDD" - Dimensional Demon, this is the deck used by Kaiba Sōjin to conquer the world.

Chapter 322 This scene seems familiar (4k)

"Oh, it's starting! It seems we've arrived just in time."

Inside the final sealed area, as Yuki and Kaiba Sojin were engaged in their duel, a bright and cheerful voice suddenly rang out softly.

From the passage behind Youxi, a blonde girl and a dark blue-haired youth emerged simultaneously.

"See? I told you so, Himi-senpai. I won this bet!"

"You should call me brother, Wu... never mind."

Bingjian Ya really wanted to correct Xingye Wu's way of addressing him, but in the end she gave up.

Along the way, he had roughly figured out Xing Yewu's personality. She seemed easygoing and sunny, but she also had a rather stubborn side. Before reaching a definite conclusion, it would probably be impossible to get Xing Yewu to change her mind.

So it's probably better to avoid doing things that might annoy people for now.

Moreover, looking at the back of the figure confronting Kaiba Sojin, Hyoumi Kiba wasn't in the mood for that right now.

As expected, Hoshino Mai was right; it was Izumi Yuuki who defeated Amagi Naruto.

I really can't tell. At first glance, he didn't seem particularly impressed. Is he the type to improvise?

What bothered Himeya even more than this was Hoshino's attitude towards Yuuki.

In the short time he had been on the road, Xing Yewu had already told him too much about You Xi.

Himi-ga is not a chuunibyou. From the obvious change in expression when the girl talked about Izumi Yuuki, it was clear what kind of feelings Hoshino Mai harbored for the boy.

As a disqualified older brother, he felt he had no right to interfere in Xing Yewu's affairs. But the sudden news that his finally found sister actually had someone she liked was still a bit unsettling.

At the same time, when Xingye Wu and Bingjian Ya arrived at the place, another set of footsteps came from behind.

"dance?"

"Star Leaf?"

Accompanying the footsteps were two female voices, one cool and clear, the other gentle and melodious, each with its own unique charm. From the way they addressed each other, one could tell who the newcomers were.

"Hey! Xiaoxue, Alicia, you two lost too."

"Is this a suitable opening line?"

Izayoi Yuki was dumbfounded by Hoshinobu's seemingly clueless greeting and complained helplessly.

She glanced at Himeya standing next to Hoshino Mai, then turned her gaze to the battlefield: "So it really is Yuuki fighting Kaiba Soujin."

"After thinking it over, only Yuuki can defeat Amagi Naruto and stop Kaiba Aoto. This is our last hope."

The Angel Church saintess Alicia, who arrived with Izayoi Yuki, did not seem surprised, as if it were only natural for Yuki to be there.

Bingjian's lips twitched involuntarily.

"No, am I the only one who's surprised by this?"

"Well, it's normal that you don't understand since you haven't dueled with Nozomi, Himi-senpai. That's just Nozomi's unique charm." Hoshino Mai never forgot to show off her companion's prowess. Then she noticed Alicia's pale face and asked with concern, "Alicia, are you alright? You look terrible."

"Nothing."

Alicia smiled, indicating that Hoshino Mai didn't need to worry: "It's just because you lost your duel with Amagi Naruto, which resulted in a duel penalty. This level of injury will be fully recovered in a little while. Don't forget what the Angel Church is best at, Hoshino."

"⊙?⊙! Oh, you're right."

After being reminded by Alicia, Xingye Wu suddenly remembered that the Angel Church was most famous for its treatment of injuries and illnesses.

Many hospitals and other facilities in war zones were even directly funded and built by the Church of Angels. As a saintess of the church, Alicia's technology in this area was certainly not lacking.

"That's good. Now, let's cheer for Xiaoxi together."

Xingyewu clapped her hands, taking on the role of the temporary cheerleader captain without hesitation, cupping her hands around her mouth like a megaphone—

"Go for it, Xiaoxi! Crush that guy with your duel!"

-

"Xiao Xi! Go! Go! Xiao Xi! Fight!"

"Everyone?"

Hearing that distinctive, overly obvious voice coming from behind, even though Yuki's attention had been focused on the duel, she couldn't help but notice it.

Yu Xi turned her head slightly and saw Xing Yewu, Shizayoi Yuki, and Alicia, whom she had only known for a short time, standing together. Not far away was a boy she didn't recognize.

Did everyone come except for Senior Yanxiao?

"It's good to have someone supporting you, You Xi. Unlike my heartless disciples, who haven't come at all."

Yu Xi was distracted for a moment when Kaiba Cangren spoke up, using seemingly joking words to bring his attention back.

"However, no matter how much your female companions cheer you on, it won't affect this duel. I hope you can concentrate on this duel; I'm not an opponent you can afford to be distracted by—"DD Sage of Magic Kepler's effect activated."

If this card is Normal or Special Summoned, you can activate 1 of the following effects.

● You can target 1 "DD" card on your field other than this card; return that card to its owner's hand.

● Add 1 "Contract" card from your deck to your hand.

"I activate this retrieved Continuous Spell from my hand: 'Contract of Hell'."

After the little incident involving Hoshino and the others, Kaiba Soto finally continued with his turn.

Before him, behind "Kepler," a vibrant green magic card appeared. In the very center of the card was a bundle of parchment bound with gold thread.

In various stories and legends, demons are depicted as beings who enjoy making deals with humans. Humans pay with their souls and lives, while demons grant them immense power.

The otherworldly demons named after various heroic spirits from history—"DDD"—are the best example of this kind of legend.

"The common effect of 'Contract' for Continuous Spell & Trap Cards is that I take damage during my Standby Phase. In exchange, once per turn during my Main Phase, activate the effect of 'Contract of Hellgate'. Add 'DD Griffin' from the 'DD' field to your hand."

"If you control a 'DD' Griffin, you can Special Summon it from your hand in Defense Position once per turn."

"DD Griffin, Level 4/Pendulum, DEF: 1200"

As the seahorse-like creature moved, the human-shaped griffin demon landed safely next to "Kepler," and then the two monsters transformed into a tornado, which was injected into the arrow of the sky gate.

"Reveal yourself, circuit to hell. Summoning conditions: 2 'DD' monsters, set Link Markers with 'Kepler' and 'Griffin', Link Summon L-ink2, the oldest king in history, 'DDD Abyss King Billgames'."

"DDD Abyss King Billgames, L-ink2/Dark/Demon/Link" "↙↘, ATK: 1800"

Holding a sword and a spear, with countless weapons on his back, the deep blue demon, originally from the Sumerian mythological hero-king Gilgamesh, emerged from the Gate of Connection, its crimson eyes glowing, exuding an aura of dominance.

"If 'Bilgamesh' is Special Summoned, place two 'DD' Pendulum Monsters with different names from your Deck into your Pendulum Zone—I set 'GO-DDD God Zero King Zero God Zero' and 'DDD Evil King Abyss Doom God' to the Pendulum Scale. After that, I took 1000 damage."

【Seahorse Aoi LP: 8000→7000】

With two snapping sounds, Kaiba Aoto stuffed two monster cards into the magic/trap zones on the left and right sides.

next moment--

Two beams of light rose from either side of the Seahorse.

Different demonic monsters exist within the pillar of light, each displaying the numbers "0" and "5"—these are their P-scales, meaning that Kaiba Sōjin can Special Summon monsters with levels between 1 and 4.

Everyone knows what Kaiba Sōjin is going to do next.

Unlike Yuki's use of the "Dark Treant," this is the true way to use the Pendulum Monster.

"During the turn I used the effect of 'Bilgamesh,' I cannot Special Summon monsters that are not 'DD'. However, this is not a problem. So... follow the path of light that trembles with souls, descend here, my servants."

Seahorse Sojin raised his arm, and the pendulum-like arc of light swayed and echoed between the pillars of light, opening the door.

Three beams of light descended from the gate, transforming into the monsters on his field.

Two of them were the familiar "Kepler" and "Griffin," while the rest was a demon with two wolf heads.
