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

Even if you learn meditation and have the aid of rituals to enter your own mental space, it's difficult for first-timers to last long; about 5 minutes is the limit.

After all, it is impossible for a normal person to delve into their own mental world. If you want to do something that is impossible in ordinary times, you will naturally have to spend more energy and effort. Besides, Youxi has not yet awakened her own Feel.

"He seems to have excellent potential."

Father Anderson maintained the ritual while questioning the blonde girl.

"Xingye, how long did you last the first time?"

"Hmm? Well... about twenty minutes."

Xingyewu briefly recalled and replied, "That's what others said. After that, I successfully summoned my own Guardian Spirit in the duel."

"Twenty minutes... That's an exceptional talent among all the past candidates, which is why you were chosen as a candidate for Saintess."

Anderson gazed at Yu Xi, whose eyes were closed and whose sleeping face was as peaceful as a baby's.

"However, I have a feeling that he might be able to surpass your record."

"Eh?"

Xing Yewu asked in surprise, "Father Anderson, are you saying that You Xijun has the potential to become a Holy Son?"

"That's not necessarily true. The Holy Son and Holy Daughter require special qualifications, which he might not meet. But..."

Father Anderson said in a deep voice, "There may be a very powerful potential hidden within him."

As he said this, Father Anderson and Xing Yewu's expressions suddenly changed.

A tremendous and majestic aura suddenly emanated from You Xi and spread outwards.

"This is……!"

……

The appearance of "Osiris the Sky Dragon" completely disrupted Yuki's plans.

Yu Xi's original intention was to use the "Dark Magic" absorbed by the "Mirror of Elves" to restrain and suppress Atum's actions in this turn, so as to create favorable conditions for his attack in the next turn.

However, Atem took advantage of this thought and unexpectedly summoned the God Card.

With the Phantom God's resistance, whether "Eternal Soul" leaves the field or not has no effect on it, and the situation that should have tilted in Yushi's favor has been overturned again.

Moreover, misfortune never comes singly. After summoning the Sky Dragon, Atem drew another new card.

"Here we go, Yuki! From this moment on, the real trial begins—I unleash a quick-attack spell from my hand: 'Superconducting Lightning Cannon'!"

【Superconducting Lightning Cannon (Quick-Play Spell): You can only activate 1 card with this name per turn. This card's activation and effect cannot be negated.】

①: This effect can be activated if you control a monster whose original name is "Sky Dragon of Osiris". Destroy all face-up monsters your opponent controls. If this card is activated during your Main Phase, you can also apply the following effect.

●The number of monsters destroyed by this effect and sent to your opponent's Graveyard by you when you draw from your Deck. This turn, you can only attack with 1 monster.

The spell card with the same attack name as "Sky Dragon of Osiris" unleashes a devastating power that surpasses even "Lightning Strike".

"Let this divine thunder sweep away all mortal things, Osiris!!"

Golden lightning instantly engulfed Youxi's front line, and the exploding electric light around him made his hair stand on end and his soul tremble.

When the lightning dissipated and blue smoke rose from the ground, there were no monsters left on Yuki's field.

"Next, since I destroyed 3 monsters during my Main Phase, I draw 3 cards from my Deck. 'Osiris's' ATK increases to 6000!"

"Osiris the Sky Dragon, ATK: 4000 → 6000"

Atem drew three more cards from his deck in one go, restoring his hand to full strength.

On top of that, he even cleared the area from You Xi.

Once the direct attack from "Osiris the Sky Dragon" passes, Yuki will suffer up to 6000 points of combat damage.

But Yu Xi did not intend to withstand this heavy blow. As the lightning dissipated, the scarlet magic power remaining on his field began to expand.

"If a card is sent from the field or hand to the Graveyard during your opponent's turn, the effect of 'Dark Witch - Diabelstar' activates! Send 1 card from my hand to the Graveyard, and Special Summon her in Attack Position."

The expanding crimson magic once again outlined the Dark Witch's silhouette, and she looked slightly disheveled after being hit hard by a lightning cannon with nowhere to escape.

"Then, if a Special Summon is successful, the second effect of 'Dark Witch' activates, and 'Sin of Rebellion - Snake Eyes' is set to the back row from my Deck."

Atem said in a deep voice, "The monster has been revived. But Yuki, you should understand, right? At this moment, another effect of 'Osiris' was also triggered!"

[If the opponent's monsters are Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned, these monsters lose 2000 ATK if they are in Attack Position, and 2000 DEF if they are in Defense Position. If their ATK or DEF becomes 0 due to this effect, those monsters are destroyed.]

The three Egyptian God cards each have their own unique abilities, and the Judge of Hell, who can launch an attack as soon as the opponent's monster appears, is the Egyptian God card with the strongest suppressive power.

Small, weak fish wouldn't even last a minute in front of it.

"—Go give them a greeting gift, [Summon Lightning Bomb]!"

A thunderous roar resounded as the "Sky Dragon of Osiris" opened its upper mouth, and a blue-white ball of lightning shot out, heading straight for the Black Witch whose lips were twitching.

"No way, not again."

"I'm sorry, I'll have to trouble you to hold on for a bit, Miss Belle."

"Tsk, you'll have to pay me afterwards."

With nowhere to hide, the Black Witch, steeling herself, grabbed her dagger and slashed fiercely at the lightning orb. Lightning flashed, causing the legendary thief to convulse, emitting plumes of blue smoke.

"Diabelstar, the Dark Witch, ATK: 2500 → 500"

If she were in defense position, the Dark Witch would have already been blasted back to the graveyard, but because she was resurrected in attack position, she still has 500 attack points left to barely hold her ground.

“But that doesn’t make any sense, Yuki. Having a low-attack monster on the field is no different from being a sitting duck.”

While pointing out Yuxi's operational mistake, Atum reached into the graveyard and took out a card.

"I will activate the effect of 'Servant of Souls' and banish this card from my Graveyard. I currently have 3 monsters in my Graveyard: 'Dark Magician,' 'Dark Magician Girl,' and 'Guardian Priest Mahad.' I will draw 3 cards from my Deck."

““Dark Magician Girl” and “Guardian Priest”…” Yuki suddenly realized, “I see, those were the cards that were sent to the graveyard by “Dial Erasure” and “Thief Kuriboh” back then.”

"Yes."

Atem chuckled softly, "I didn't have 'Super Electromagnetic Turtle' in my graveyard at the time, but rather 'Guardian Priest Mahad.' Because I drew 3 more cards, 'Osiris's' attack power increased by another 3000!"

"Osiris the Sky Dragon, ATK: 6000 → 9000"

"Enter the combat stage!"

Atum pointed forward—

"Yuki! Can you withstand this attack?! 'Sky Dragon of Osiris' attack, Superconducting Wave Lightning Cannon!!"

As Atum declared his battle cry, a torrent of golden lightning crashed down upon Yuki and the Black Witch once more.

This attack is no longer initiated by a magic card; the moment the battle ends, it will inflict massive damage on Yuki. It's so powerful that it can even wipe out Yuki's LP in one hit—a so-called one-shot kill—Atem truly has no intention of holding back.

Only three rounds into the duel, not only did he summon the God Card, but he also aimed directly at Yuki's head!

but--

"—This is the moment I've been waiting for!"

Facing the vast, natural disaster-like torrent of lightning, You Xi's heart pounded, and perhaps a surge of adrenaline made him excitedly wave his hand.

He revealed the secret to his incredible comeback.

"First, use C1 to banish the 'Super Electromagnetic Turtle' from the graveyard, forcibly ending this turn's Battle Phase. Next, activate the Continuous Trap: 'Dimensional Sphinx'!"

You can activate this card by targeting 1 face-up Attack Position monster you control.

①: Once during your Battle Step when the targeted monster is attacked by an opponent's monster with higher ATK than that monster, you can activate this effect. Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the difference between the attacking monster's ATK and the targeted monster's ATK.

"I target 'Dark Witch - Diabelstar' and activate this card's effect! The ATK difference between 'Sky Dragon of Osiris' and 'Dark Witch' is 8500. Before I take damage, I will deal that amount of damage to you, Mr. Atem."

It was precisely to utilize the effect of this card that the Dark Witch was deliberately resurrected in the form of an attack.

Atum wanted to unleash Osiris for a fatal blow, but that was also the opportunity Yuxi had been waiting for.

—And as it turns out, he made the right bet!

"Return this divine lightning to me, Miss Bell!"

"Oh! Well done, kid. At least you're not just getting beaten up all the time!"

Hearing Youxi's shout, the Black Witch, who had already braced herself for another lightning strike, revealed an equally excited and wild smile.

Illuminated by the light of the trap card, she raised her arm-length dagger. The lightning from [Superconducting Wave - Lightning Cannon] was absorbed onto the blade, and with a forceful flick of her wrist, it all returned along its original path.

"Alright, starfish head, now it's your turn to taste the lightning!"

The roaring lightning transformed into a raging dragon, baring its fangs and claws, and pounced on Wang Yang, whose eyes were wide open.

The exploding lightning instantly filled people's field of vision.

"boom--!!"

Chapter 101: Tear the Seal, Prepare to Slay the Gods!

Lightning Return!

Just like the "reverse punch" of the old man.

The power of the [Superconducting Wave - Lightning Cannon] released by the "Sky Dragon of Osiris" is undeniable, and this attack was completely deflected back by the combined efforts of Yuki and the Black Witch.

The explosive lightning flashed everywhere, filling people's vision.

For a moment, nothing could be seen except for the flashing golden lightning.

"Did you make it?"

The black witch, who had jumped back to Yu Xi's side, muttered a guess. Hearing her words, Yu Xi couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

"Miss Belle, that's a huge blunder. Even if it could have succeeded, saying it will turn it into a failure."

That's what they say, but actually Yu Xi didn't have high hopes.

After all, that's King Yuuki, the duelist with the title of strongest. He wouldn't be so easily killed by a trap.

really……

After the lightning dissipated, Wang Yang's figure was revealed, and the scoreboard floating beside him confirmed his premonition.
