When a card game club is pulled into the Yu-Gi-Oh! world by the system

Malik crossed his hands again and recited the difficult-to-understand incantation.

"Just you wait and see! The power bestowed upon me by an ancient incantation! Hahahaha, the special ability hidden within the Sun God—that is—"

Thick black mist enveloped Malik's body, and then his body appeared on Ra's Winged Dragon.

"To become one with God!"

"Malik has actually merged with the sun god!"

Dark Game's eyes widened in shock.

"......"

The seahorse felt its worldview was being shaken.

The visuals can be explained as special effects, but how did Malik end up standing on the virtual image?

"Therefore, my health points can be converted into the Sun God's attack power!"

【Ra's Winged Dragon】Attack Power: 1799

Dark Malik's HP: 1

"But even so, Malik still can't defeat Chang Yan."

"Really? Don't forget the head hasn't been normally summoned yet?"

He replied to Jonouchi in the audience with a cold laugh, and then slammed a card onto the duel disk.

"I usually summon the [Gluttonous Dragon]."

"Attack power 1900? And it's a four-star weapon?"

"It's over, Changyan is going to lose."

"It's already quite good that you were able to force out two of the God Cards' abilities."

Basically everyone thought that Chang Yan had lost.

Including his four friends.

"Damn it, is Changyan going to lose?"

"There's no way around it, the rules of Duel City are just too rubbish. Fusion monsters can't attack when they first fuse, which puts them at a significant disadvantage."

"No, look at Chang Yan's expression. He hasn't given up hope yet."

Has the common saying truly meant giving up hope?

No.

He's the kind of man who always prepares for any eventuality.

Don't believe me? Go read my previous book.

"It's over! [Gluttonous Dragon], attack now!"

Just as the monster was about to bite Chang Yan, he played a card.

"At that very moment, I activated the effect of the card 'Predatory Plant Bottle Ant' from my hand! This card can only be activated when an opponent's monster declares a direct attack; Special Summon this card from your hand!"

Chapter Twenty: Darkness

A large ant with plants growing on its back emerged from the ground and blocked the path of the [Gluttonous Dragon].

"Tch, clinging to life, huh? Then crush that piece of trash!"

Although there is no attack rollback, that does not apply to this situation.

A giant foot crushed the bottle ant, but its venom had also seeped into the monster.

"Activate the effect of [Predatory Plant Bottle Ant]: This effect can be activated after damage calculation when this card battles an opponent's monster. Destroy that opponent's monster!"

"What?!"

The Gluttonous Dragon let out a shrill scream before being corroded into a pile of bones by the venom.

"Furthermore, this effect can be activated if this card on the field is sent to the Graveyard by a card effect or destroyed by battle. Add 1 'Predator' card from your Deck to your hand, except 'Predator Plant Bottle Ant'! I add 'Predator Graft' to my hand."

"NICE! Chang Yan won't lose this time!"

"However, the God Cards burn a person's spirit, and this is a Dark Game. Can Chang Yan really withstand it...?"

Yugi Muto appeared very worried.

The other four people also appeared very nervous.

"Tch, you survived, but I still have the Sun God to attack! Feel the power of the gods, and then fall into utter despair—Go, Sun God, Golden Flame Cannon!"

The raging flames transformed into a tornado, engulfing Chang Yan's body in an instant.

Commonly known LP: 2700 → 901

"Aaaaaaaahh ...

The agonizing screams pounded in everyone's ears, but with the exception of a few, everyone else looked with concern at the spot where Chang Yan had been submerged.

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much!

It was as if he were being burned to ashes in a raging furnace, as if he were surrounded by molten lava with terrifying heat. The suffocating and despairing heat was relentlessly devouring everything Chang Yan had, causing him unbearable pain.

Every inch of skin is screaming, every drop of blood is evaporating, every ounce of spirit is in agony—

The raw pain of the Dark Game and the mental impact of the God Cards caused Chang Yan severe trauma.

It's so hot...

--it hurts.......

--What's this......

—Where is this...?

The spirit is gradually dissipating

Reason was also on the verge of collapse.

In that daze, he seemed to see something black...

He sensed it—

He grasped it—

The incredibly cold object sent a shiver down his spine...

He recovered.

He felt that the surroundings had become less hot;

He felt himself gradually recovering;

But, but—

Something was burning inside him—

Something was roaring and howling inside him—

Something incredibly violent and pitch black filled his body...

That was rage!

That's hatred!

That is,

Killing intent!

"I'll kill you..."

There seemed to be a sound coming from the raging flames.

"Oh dear, oh dear, have you lost your mind already? Heh heh heh heh."

Dark Malik let out a hearty laugh.

"I want--"

"I'll kill you, you bastard!!!"
