FUCKYOU!

"front!!!!!"

A coin is tossed up—

The mallet is raised—

The coin shows heads.

Verdict: Guilty!

Referee - death penalty!

Execute immediately!

"boom--"

The gavel of judgment fell with a resounding crash, delivering the final verdict on the sinner who had escaped numerous trials.

Congratulations! Congratulations!

applaud!

Jonouchi LP: 3300→3100

Upon witnessing this scene, Eunuch Cao was so moved that he almost shed tears.

Waaaaah, Ta-Nyan finally succeeded!

Finally, it's dead! Finally, it's a success!

It wasn't easy...

"Set one card face down, end the turn."

Looking at the five cards in his hand, Cao Gonggong face-down three cards, filling his back row with them and ending the turn.

The scene before Cao Gonggong was now completely covered, leaving the onlookers trembling with fear.

Today, your Uncle Cao is going to kill all of you.

"5, 5 backcourt players!?"

Seeing Cao Gonggong's slowly clearing of the field, and then looking at his own empty field, Cheng Nei felt tears welling up in his eyes.

How do we fight this?

"Within the castle, do not give up!"

Just when despair was gripping the city, Yami Yugi's powerful voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, Jonouchi looked towards the audience below the stage, where he met Yami Yugi's burning gaze.

"Yes, Jonouchi, don't give up!"

"Yes, yes, we won't give up!"

His good buddies, Hirokazu Honda and Ryuji Otogi, were also shouting there.

"Go for it, Jonouchi!"

"Go, Onii-chan!"

This is the cry of Kyoko Masaki and her sister.

"If you dare to surrender, I'll really look down on you."

This is the sound of the peacock dance.

"Everyone......."

Just as Jonouchi was murmuring to himself, moved, a very unpleasant voice rang out.

"Hope is a magical thing, but it is also a precious thing. I can share hope with you, Mr. Jonouchi. You have a group of good friends."

That's a common saying.

At this moment, he seemed perfectly normal.

He raised his head and looked into the city.

There was nothing in those dark pupils.

"But hope is just a prelude to despair. The greater the hope, the deeper the fall into despair. Although these words should have been said by Eunuch Cao, I couldn't help but say them. Perhaps I was inspired by what I just saw, or maybe I was just having a fit of chuunibyou. Anyway, that's all."

After saying something incomprehensible, Chang Yan continued:

"Five face-up cards, Mr. Jonouchi, you should understand what that means, right?"

What does it mean?

Of course I understand.

Five face cards—anyone who sees them would be terrified.

Who knows if you've already assembled a complete set of chain-burning damage items, ready to instantly kill me as soon as I finish drawing cards.

"Are you prepared? Are you prepared to accept hope and then fall into despair?"

--consciousness.......

—Am I ready to face this...?

—Five face-down cards, five powerful monsters, do I really still have hope...?

Even if you draw the powerful card [Time Magician], it probably won't be very effective against five face-down cards...

—But, but.......

—I've made a pact with the game; I'm going to become a true duelist!

--I.......

"Hey, hey, hey, you don't actually believe me, do you? I just watch too much anime and sometimes want to talk back to you like those characters do. It's just a duel, does it have to be this serious?"

Just as Jōnei was lost in some strange mental thoughts, Chōyō's slightly joking words pulled him back to reality.

"Huh?" xN

"Hey!"

"What are you yelling about? Don't tell me you took what I just said seriously."

Seeing the crowd around him shouting, Chang Yan also joined in.

Seriously, all that talk was just a way to fool me...

But, as for awareness...?

Of course I am that kind of thing—

It's done!

"My turn, draw a card."

Chang Yan and Eunuch Cao both revealed a sinister smile.

He had already seen the card he had covered.

Do you think what I just said was all for nothing?

Be prepared, and then fall into the abyss.

Within the city!

Feel the fear we felt in that ancient battlefield, when we were once dominated by the Emperor Dragon from Chaos and the Soul Crow of Yata!

Chapter Forty-Six: Clash

"My turn, draw a card!"

Jōnei drew his card with great flair.

"You drew a card, didn't you, Jonouchi! Just like they say, fall into despair! Open your face-down card—Trap Card [Knock Off]!"

With a mischievous smile on his face, Eunuch Cao opened the card.

Serves you right for disgusting me just now!

The image on the trap card is a hand and a sword that has been knocked down.

A strong sense of foreboding washed over the city.

That card...

"I got this card from another duelist when I was collecting puzzle cards. I added it because it looked fun, and I didn't expect it to come to me so quickly. This card's effect is activated during the opponent's draw phase. One card drawn by the opponent during their draw phase is discarded and sent to the graveyard."

What?! It's a card specifically designed for the gacha phase!

For the city, this was like a bolt from the blue.

This...this.....

"Come on, draw a card, then just throw it into the graveyard."

In an era where there aren't many graveyards or graveyard effects, this card is still pretty good.

But if you carried this card in the original world, someone might smile and say thank you, then launch into a long storytelling session and beat you senseless.

It's not like the [Seal of the Engraving] card, which is a forbidden card that's been around for ages.

"It's this card."

"Hmph, it's already quite good that he's managed to survive this long with his mediocre abilities."

It's rare to hear Seto Kaiba say such a thing about Jonouchi.

Even if he were to come, he probably wouldn't fare well in this situation.
