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

It's not enough to just dodge the attack; once "Silent Magician Zero" is killed here, everything will still be over.

You Xi remained calm and composed in the face of this.

"C2, trigger the effect of 'Magician's Guiding Gate'!"

"If you control 'Dark Magician', banish this card, and negate the effects of 1 face-up Spell/Trap Card your opponent controls until the end of this turn!"

As Yuki retrieved the card from the graveyard, the "Black Magician" held his bamboo-like magic wand horizontally in front of him and cast a spell.

The feathered arrow that flew from the "Contract of the Valkyrie" was instantly sealed away by dark magic along with its host body.

"After 'Valkyrie's Contract' is negated, its destruction effect goes without saying, and its attack boost effect also vanishes. If Mr. Aoto's other face-down card is also a destructive trap, then I'm truly powerless to save it. But it doesn't seem that way."

Yu Xi glanced at the remaining face-down card of Kaiba Sojin and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Kaiba Sojin had no intention of using it.

He didn't know what kind of card it was, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

"Set 1 card face down, 'Silent Magician Zero' changes to Attack Position, and we enter the Battle Phase."

With this declaration, Yuki placed his last card into the Duel Disk—

"The instant the battle begins, the quick-attack spell 'Silence Magic Blast' is activated!"

[Silence Magic Blast (Quick-Play Spell): If you control a "Silence Magician" monster and you have more cards in your hand than your opponent, you can activate this effect during either player's Battle Phase. Both players draw cards from their Deck until they have 6 cards in their hand. This card's activation and effect cannot be negated.]

Before activating this card, Yuki had 1 card in her hand and Kaiba Sōjin had 0, which undoubtedly met the activation conditions.

and--

"The activation and effect of 'Silence Blast' cannot be negated; neither 'Cursed Blood King' nor counter traps are effective against it. Now both players have 0 cards, and each draws 6 cards from their deck!"

Brush brush!

Under the blessing of the light released by "Silent Magician Zero", Yuki replenished 6 cards from his deck in one go - with so many cards in hand, he finally had a real chance of winning.

After looking at his hand, Yu Xi looked up and said, "Then, I'll end my battle phase and move on to main phase 2."

"Oh? Aren't you going to attack?"

Kaiba Aoto said in surprise, "Your current 'Silent Magician Zero' has higher attack power."

Because Kaiba Aoto drew 6 cards, "Silent Magician Zero" experienced rapid growth due to the guaranteed effect. Her level increased from 4 to 10, and she transformed from a loli into a mature woman with a wife-like aura. At the same time, her attack power also reached 4000.

With the "Valkyrie's Contract" now invalidated, her attack power is arguably the highest in the entire arena, second only to "King Gale".

As long as you avoid attacking "Gale King", you can defeat any monster you attack.

"There's no need. If Mr. Kaiba has a face-down card or a card that affects attack power, then rushing in would be a waste of time and effort. Zero has already done his job, and I have better ways to attack."

As You Xi spoke, she slapped a card off her hand—

"I activate the Spell Card: Monster Resurrection! I revive 'The Witch of the Dark Forest' in my Graveyard, then reveal my face-down card and activate the Quick-Play Spell Card: 'Crushing Destroyer'!"

【Crushing Destroyer (Quick-Play Spell): Special Summon 1 "Obelisk the Tormentor" from your hand or Graveyard. Monsters Special Summoned by this effect are unaffected by your opponent's card effects this turn.】

As you can tell from the card art and name, this is a magic card exclusively for "Obelisk the Tormentor".

—This is also the fatal weapon that Yuki was unable to use because he was completely suppressed by Kaiba Sojin in the last round!

"The activation and effect of 'Shattered God of Destruction' will not be nullified. Awaken from the abyss of the earth, descend swiftly—'Obelisk the Tormentor'!!!"

When it arrives, scorching winds will sweep across the land, and the living will become corpses! When light and darkness meet, the ritual to summon the obelisk will begin!

With immense force, the azure pillar of light crashed down.

The majestic shadow of the god stood tall, as imposing as a mountain, releasing a terrifying killing intent from between its cold, sharp teeth, intimidating countless villains.

...No one doubts what would happen if someone were hit by a fist that was as big as an oil tanker.

"Obelisk the Titan, Level 10 / ATK: 4000"

Now, aside from "The Winged Dragon of the Sun," which had no chance to appear, Yuki had used all of his God Cards.

Gods have many different ways of attacking, far more than just ordinary combat.

"Here we go! Mr. Kaiba Aoto! 'Obelisk the Tormentor' effect activated!!"

[Once per turn, you can Tribute 2 other monsters you control to activate this effect. Destroy all monsters your opponent controls with ATK lower than or equal to this card's ATK, and inflict battle damage to your opponent equal to this card's ATK. This card cannot attack the turn this effect is activated.]

Essentially, this effect is the OCG description of the "Giant Warrior attacks the opponent and all monsters" effect that Kaiba in the game used against Yugi. Its power is self-evident.

"I offer the 'Witch of the Black Forest' and the 'Dark Magician' as sacrifices! Crush everything, 'Giant Warrior'! [God Fist Shattering Shockwave]!!"

Having received the soul power of the monsters and gathered it in his hands, "Obelisk the Tormentor" roared angrily and slammed his fists into the ground.

—The earth shook and the mountains trembled.

The azure light rapidly expanded outwards from where the fist touched the ground, quickly enveloping the other-dimensional demons, and then Kaiba Aoto himself.

"The attack power of 'DDD Gale King Alexander' is 6000, and it will not be affected by this effect."

"But the other monsters can't escape."

— "DDD Raging Waves King Caesar's Decision" sabotage.

— "DDD Blood King Seifert" destroyed.

— "DDD Super Death King Black Hell End God" destroyed.

【Seahorse Aoi LP: 6800→2800】

All the otherworldly demons except for "King Gale" were destroyed, and Kaiba Aoto was dealt 4000 points of combat damage.

This level of attack is not enough to defeat Kaiba Sojin, but Yuki's attack is naturally not limited to this.

"The instant the effect of 'Obelisk the Colossus' activates, the second effect of 'Shattered God of Destruction' activates!"

[If you control "Obelisk the Tormentor" and simultaneously Tribute 2 or more monsters you control to activate a card effect, you can banish this card from your Graveyard to activate this effect. Banish all monsters in your opponent's Graveyard, and inflict damage to your opponent equal to 500 times the number of monsters in their Graveyard.]

This was the second attack from a magical perspective by "Obelisk".

It was in no way inferior to the overwhelming impact of the first strike, and was even more deadly.

“Now, Mr. Cangren, your graveyard has accumulated quite a few monsters, so…”

"This won't end anything."

Yu Xi was interrupted halfway through her sentence.

Despite facing the imminent threat of defeat, Kaiba Sojin remained remarkably calm.

“I have seen your counterattack and your will, You Xi. But none of that matters. It was all expected.”

He then said, "First, the effects of 'DDD Super Death King Black Hell End God' and 'DDD Decision King Alexander'. Add 'Contract' cards from the deck to your hand. If the former is destroyed, set it to the Pendulum Zone's P-scale."

"Next, activate the Trap Card: 'Soul Fusion'!"

The dormant card was finally activated by Kaiba Sojin, a card powerful enough to sever Yuki's chance of winning with the power of "Giant Warrior".

[Ban face-down the Fusion Material Monsters specified on a Fusion Monster Card from your Graveyard, and Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck. The monster Special Summoned by this effect cannot attack this turn.]

"not good!"

"Miracle Fusion" is a "miracle fusion" that uses graveyard resources at the cost of being unable to attack, and can also be summoned during the opponent's turn.

Yu Xi had already guessed what kind of monster Kaiba Sojin was going to summon.

"Except for the inner side, 'DDD Overlord Emperor' and 'DD Sage of Magic Nicholas,' demons and demonic power, now merge into one, and be reborn as a true king! Fusion Summon! Appear! King who conveys the majesty of the gods!"

"DDD God-Supporting King Dark!"

"DDD God King Dark, Level 8/Dark/Demon/Fusion" "ATK: 2800/DEF: 2000"

"[DD] Monster x2"

The demon's wings spread, inheriting the name of the saintess, the fallen witch held her sword before her, erecting a barrier to transform the curse.

"As long as 'DDD God King Dark' is on the field, the damage dealt to yourself is converted into healing. [Life Force]!"

【Seahorse Aoi LP: 2800→10800】

Excluding the 16 extradimensional demons, Kaiba Soujin's base score jumped back by 8000 in one go. The "Giant Warrior's" punch not only failed to defeat Kaiba Soujin, but also made him even more difficult to kill.

"Damn it! This won't do either!?"

Bingjian frowned deeply, clicking his tongue in displeasure: "That guy is way too difficult to kill!"

"Oh dear, oh dear, what's going on?"

Upon hearing Bingjian Ya's words, Xingye Wu couldn't help but slyly smile and say, "Bingjian-senpai, didn't you think Xiaoxi couldn't win? Why are you standing up for Xiaoxi now?"

"...Hmph, I'm not standing up for him, I just don't like Kaiba Soto."

Bingjian Ya didn't want to admit what Xingye Wu said.

However, it must be said that Yushina's will to fight even when his LP was reduced to 0 and his dignified demeanor did attract him—any true duelist would be drawn to such a person.

It's impossible not to want to cheer for them and applaud their victory.

They will also feel resentful when they fail.

But it's absolutely impossible for him to admit it himself.

"Hehe, it's no use trying to be stubborn." However, Xingye Wu had already seen through his true intentions, and her mischievous smile made Bingjian Ya very uncomfortable. "Also, Senior Bingjian doesn't need to worry about Xiaoxi. Because Xiaoxi's counterattack is not over yet."

"It's not over yet?"

Upon hearing this, Bingjianya couldn't help but look up.

Under these circumstances, can Youxi still win?

Unconsciously, a feeling of anticipation welled up in his heart.

And You Xi, without realizing it, responded to that expectation.

"Did the 'Giant Warrior' tactic fail? Well, what about this one! Because sending it from the field to the graveyard activates the effect of 'Witch of the Dark Forest'! I can add one monster with 1500 or less DEF from my Deck to my hand. Then I activate the Spell Card 'Whirlwind' to destroy 'Valkyrie's Contract'!"

"Before the Valkyrie's Contract is destroyed, chain the effect of 'DDD Supreme King Chaos Revelation'."
