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

"Battle has begun! [Dinosaur Wrestler Pankrasin Ceratops] is attacking [Izanagi]."

Upon receiving the attack order, the dinosaur wrestler, who had been stretching in place, had a glint in his eyes. He slammed his thick, powerful thighs into the ground and charged toward the indifferent white-haired man with tremendous force.

Izanagi was no pushover either; she twirled her spear, performed a flourish, and charged straight at the muscular dinosaur.

However, his attack power is only 2200...

The dinosaur wrestler's attack power is 2600!

Over-the-back throw!

Atomic impact!

Hook-arm asphyxiation fixation!

Avalanche-style muscle bomb slam!

Professional wrestlers took this opportunity to demonstrate to them what wrestling fighting techniques are all about.

The sounds of muscles breaking and bones snapping, along with the long, drawn-out groans, stirred the blood of all the men present.

The collision of muscles, the mingling of sweat and blood.

Hmm, that's good!

Just as the dinosaur wrestler struck a pose, preparing to deliver the final blow to Izanagi, the stunned Tsuchimikado Yuuki finally snapped out of his daze and hurriedly began to operate.

"Aaaaaah, Lord Izanagi!!! Unlock the face-down card, Trap Card [Half or Stop] - You can activate this during your opponent's Battle Phase. Your opponent can choose 1 of the following effects to apply: ● All monsters you control have their ATK halved until the end of the Battle Phase. ● End the Battle Phase."

Seeing his Izanagi getting beaten up so badly, Tsuchimikado Yuuki let out a terrified scream and quickly used the face-down card to protect his monster.

"Then I'll activate the effect of [Dinosaur Wrestler Pankrasin Triceratops] at this very moment—I can Tribute 1 'Dinosaur Wrestler' monster I control, then target 1 card on my opponent's field. Destroy that card. This effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn."

"I release [Dinosaur Wrestler Pankrasin Ceratops] on the field to destroy [Izanagi] on your field. Then, because of the effect of [Half or Stop] activated by you, I choose to reduce the ATK of all monsters on my field to half until the end of the Battle Phase."

"What?! A level 7 monster with 2600 ATK, so easy to Special Summon, has this kind of effect?!"

"And it can be activated during the opponent's turn?!"

Hey, hey, hey, is it really that serious...?

Hearing the exclamations of the people around him, Shi Da felt a slight ache in his groin.

The muscular dinosaur wrestler roared in fury, its massive muscles bulging and splitting open, veins bulging and stretching outwards. Its heart had evolved into a super electric motor, thumping and beating so loudly it seemed to have a wall-penetrating bug, leaving afterimages.

The fist, the size of a clay pot, suddenly became even bigger, slamming into Izanagi's cool, aloof face with a series of "Ora ora ora" sounds.

The wildness was unleashed, and the savage beast etched in their genes roared.

Muscles exploded, blood and flesh splattered—

With a deafening explosion, both figures vanished, leaving only a pool of blood on the emerald green ground as proof of what had happened.

"The battle continues, [Kozmo-Darkstar], attack directly!"

Countless dense patterns lit up on the colossal object in the sky, as endless energy converged on the planet-destroying cannon.

—Energy recharged, target locked!

Launch countdown begins!

——3,

——2,

——1!

--fire!

A pure white energy cannon roared in, and the beam of light that pierced the heavens and earth blinded everyone at that moment.

Chapter 126 [Soul Bird God - Yan Kongque]

Yuki Tsuchimikado LP: 4000→2000

"...Aa ...

After a moment of stunned silence, Tsuchimikado Yuuki let out a deafening scream like a groundhog, venting his fear.

Having been raised in a reclusive and ancient family of Onmyoji, what kind of opponents did he encounter from a young age?

Most of them are weaklings, and a small portion are the toughest among the weaklings.

So, has he encountered any dangerous or exciting events?

do not have.

Because of his family's ancient and rigid rules, he hardly ever watched television. He spent his days reading ancient books that were full of obscure and mysterious things, or locking himself in his room to meditate (daydream).

Now, their family has responded to the call to fight against Dorma and sent out their young disciples to hone their skills.

Yes, as an ancient, reclusive family, a long-established family of dark duelists, their elders and middle-aged members are all adept at manipulating spirits and using their power, but playing cards...

The terrifying attack from Star Dark was perfectly recreated in the virtual image. Being hit by a beam cannon that was bigger than your whole body could easily leave a psychological scar, let alone a child who has not yet experienced any great hardships.

"I usually summon [Kozmo-Iron Skin], then set 1 card face-down, and end my turn. At the end of my turn, [Kozmo-Iron Skin]'s effect activates—"

"During your or your opponent's End Phase, you can activate this effect by paying 500 Life Points. Reveal three different types of 'Kozmo' cards from your Deck to your opponent, who then randomly selects one card from those cards. Add that card to your hand, and send the rest to the Graveyard."

Star Power LP: 3900 → 3400

【Kozmo - Dark Eclipse】, 【Kozmo - Dark Scimitar】, 【Kozmo - Pioneer】.

"........"

Yuki Tsuchimikado sat on the ground with a blank stare, seemingly not hearing what Shida said.

"Hey, hey, hey, is it really that bad? It looks impressive but it doesn't actually do much damage, right? You're just that stupid?"

Shida was a little dumbfounded when he saw Tsuchimikado Yuuki standing still.

The mission requires defeating the opponent, but does forcibly withdrawing from the duel due to psychological reasons count as "defeating" them?

Oh my god, don't kid me, you're not really going to be unable to get up...

Mouthballs! I need the support of mouthballs!

"Hey, Yuuki, get up! Are you going to lose the duel in such a humiliating way?!"

NICE! Well done!

Seeing a boy from the opposing support team launch a verbal attack on Tsuchimikado Yuuki, Shida silently clenched his fist in his heart.

".......I......."

Yuki Tsuchimikado was silent for a while, then uttered a single word before falling silent again.

He didn't want to either; he didn't want to lose the duel in such a humiliating way.

But, but......

"Stand up, Yuuki! Don't forget why you went out on this training trip! Wasn't it to prove your strength to those old guys, then break away from the family and pursue freedom!"

"So stand up, Yuuki! For freedom!"

"free........"

Yuuki Tsuchimikado muttered to himself, his dull eyes gradually brightening, while the others whispered among themselves.

Why do I feel the aura of a protagonist from a shonen manga wafting towards me?

Kang Feng seemed to have regained his composure and took the lead in launching a sarcastic attack.

"Damn it, this verbal attack—that's right, it's the invigorating verbal attack that only the protagonist can use!"

"It seems like the next one he'll be fighting is General Manager Kang. Be careful, don't let his brain-degrading aura turn you into an idiot."

"Now that you mention it, I suddenly have a bad feeling..."

Just as he was ranting and raving, Tsuchimikado Yuuki regained his fighting spirit and stood up with his eyes blazing.

"I'll choose the middle card to add to your hand."

The card added to the hand is—

【Kozmo - Pioneer】

"At this moment, I activate another effect of [Kozmo-Iron Skin]—you can activate this effect by banishing this card from the field. Special Summon 1 Level 2 or higher 'Kozmo' monster from your hand. This effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn."

"Come on, [Kozmo-Pioneer]!"

The massive, heavyweight warship traversed the sky, flames erupting from its stern, its powerful propulsion system supporting its hovering in the air.

"Another one?!"

"It's a monster with an attack power of 2800... This is bad."

Looking at the newly appeared, enormous warship, Tsuchimikado Yuuki swallowed hard.

Another one...?

However, it can still be defeated in the face of the Soul Bird God.

So please bless me, Lord Yan Kongque!

"My turn, draw a card!"

In a state of high spirits, Tsuchimikado Yuuki activated his skill: Fate Card Draw!

Skill judgment in progress...

Successful draw!

"Activate the Spell Card [Pot of Greed], draw two cards from your Deck!"

Wow, that's some amazing luck.

"Yosh, this is it! I Normal Summon [Wa-Tama], and because of its effect, I Normal Summon [Ara-Tama]. With [Ara-Tama]'s effect, I add the Soul Monster [Soul Bird God - Hime-Kujaku] to my hand."

"Activate the Ritual Spell [Descent of the Soul] - If the total Levels equal to or greater than the Level of the monster to be Ritual Summoned, Tribute monsters from your hand or field, or banish a Soul Monster from your Graveyard as an alternative to Tribute, Ritual Summon either 'Soul Bird God - Hime-Kujaku' or 'Soul Bird God - Hiko-Kujaku' from your hand."

It was a ceremony! That's a rare sight indeed!

"I will offer my level 4 [Wild Spirit] and [Harmony Spirit] on the field as ritual offerings—"

"All things are impermanent, all things are impermanent, all things change and migrate to other places. The soul bird transforms into the light of the stars, please descend here! Ritual Summoning - Level 8 [Soul Bird God - Yan Kongque]!"

Yan → Yanxing (Altair). He and [Soul Bird God - Princess Peacock] are the first pair of Soul Ritual Monsters in the OCG.
