Chapter 89: Not a Monster, But a God! (Please Subscribe)

Hyoga glanced at the fleeing Malik, then looked back at Rishid with regret, "The Ishdar family's training is truly remarkable. To have a loyal follower like you who grew up alongside their master, and a master who abandoned you without hesitation to save his own life—"

"No, that's not right either. Weren't you trained as a suicide squad specifically for this moment?"

Although it's still stirring up trouble, these are truly Hyoga's thoughts.

How feudal!

Lishid himself remained unmoved—his life had long been dedicated to Malik.

He did not think there was anything wrong with his behavior.

"Enough talk, let's duel!"

As Lishid spoke, he walked toward the pitted stone platform next to the torch.

Hyoga was speechless, then threw a card at Rishid. "You still want to use that thing? Get some new equipment! It's shameful for a duelist not to even have his own weapon!"

The card arced through the air and was easily caught by Lishid.

The card then glowed, transforming into a Duel Disk and attaching itself to Rishid's arm.

"The latest version of the Duel Disk, haven't seen it before, have you!"

Lishid did not respond, but instead took out his deck and inserted it into the slot.

"Duel!" x2

[Lishid, LP4000]

[Glacier, LP4000]

Looking at his automatically shuffled deck and the lit Duel Disk, Lishid had to admit that this thing was truly advanced.

"My first move: draw a card!"

Looking at his cards, Lishid didn't hesitate to slap one down: "Royal Temple Magic Card!" The temple activated!

Behind Lishid, a massive temple slowly emerged.

Although it's not a Field Spell Card, its effects are similar to those of Field Spell Cards.

"Before this temple, anyone who comes, except for the tomb keeper, will become an intruder."

"Furthermore, because of this card's effect, the number of cards you can place face-down each round has been limited to 1."

"Zhang!" (Comic animation effect)

Hyoga tilted his head upon hearing this effect—why does it seem different from the effect of this card that he knows?

Its effect shouldn't be once per turn, can a face-down trap card be activated in the same turn?

This effect is more in line with Lishid's style, isn't it?

Hyoga scratched his head, then watched as Lishid set two more cards to end the turn.

Great, very withdrawn!

Then let me break down your wall!

"My turn, draw a card!"

Hyoga drew the card with the blue face.

I can't wait!

Since that's the case—

"I activate the Spell Card 'Serpent Rain'!" Hyoga plays a Spell Card, "Discard one card as cost to send 4 Reptile Monsters from my Deck to the Graveyard!"

The trip to that dimension, the Swamp of Vengeance, wasn't in vain.

Hyoga created powerful cards belonging to that dimension.

The effect of having four Reptile-type monsters is limited to the Reptile-type. If you change the type, it will likely be incredibly powerful. Although Hyoga doesn't primarily play Reptile-type monsters, his deck contains a whole series of them.

"I'm sending one 'Heroic Lizard - Demonic Lizard' and three 'Heroic Lizard Double Up' cards from my deck to the graveyard!"

With four monsters entering the graveyard in a row, Rishid felt a great sense of unease.

That enormous figure reappeared in Lishid's mind.

Masaka!

"Then I activate this Spell Card, Three Bones Zone, and summon three Level 2 or lower Normal Monsters from my Graveyard! Come back, you powerful monsters!"

The graveyard of the Ice River lit up, and three small lizards appeared in front of the Ice River.

Now, Lishid truly understood.

God is about to descend!

Hyoga was also a little nervous. "Rishid, to be honest, this is the first time I've ever dueled with someone like this."

"Summon him when the time comes! He's usually used to fight robots. After all, even in a regular duel, getting hit by one of his punches could be fatal."

"Phew! Well then, let's go!"

"I will perform a Normal Summon by offering three 'Gi-Oh! Dota's' as tributes!"

"When it arrives, scorching winds will sweep across the land, and the living will become corpses!"

"When light and darkness meet, begin the ritual to summon the obelisk!"

"Descend, Kami!"

"Obelisk the Colossus!"

The three tiny Gigodots suddenly transformed into three pillars of light reaching the sky, and then merged into one.

Within the enormous pillar of light, a colossal figure, reaching to the heavens and the earth, revealed its true form.

Obelisk the Colossus, 10 stars, God.

[Mythical Beast/Effect, 4000/4000]

Unparalleled power, overwhelming strength —

The colossal form of the Titan was reflected in Lishid's eyes, causing him to tremble uncontrollably!

But just then, Lishid saw a figure running back from behind Hyoga.

It seems to be —

Lishid's trembling suddenly stopped at that moment!

He needs to continue buying time.

"Activate a Trap Card —"

Hyoga frowned and interrupted, "Lishid, you should know that gods are not affected by trap cards."

Lishid nodded. "Of course! But I'm going to use 'Apib's God'! This trap card, once activated, becomes a Normal Monster and is Special Summoned to the Monster Zone! I'm going to Summon it in Defense Position! Even a god can't attack me as long as I have a Defense Position monster on my field!"

As this trap card is activated, a monster wielding a knife and shield, with a long snake head extending from its back and a snake tail at its lower body, is about to fall.

But Hyoga then drew a card, "I see. But if I destroy it before it's summoned as a monster, won't that work? I'll activate the Spell Card Cyclone!"

A whirlwind surged forth, intending to destroy it, but the whirlwind could not get close.

"Naive! I activate Counter Trap Anubis's Judgment!" Negate any Spell Cards you activate with destructive effects.

And destroy them! After that—you can also destroy all face-up monsters on your opponent's field and inflict effect damage equal to half the combined ATK of all their monsters.

A giant black jackal emerged from Lishid's card, reversing the destruction of [Whirlwind], but when it tried to continue destroying the monsters on the White Field, it was completely unable to move.

because----

"The only thing that exists on my field right now isn't a monster, it's a god!"

The phantom of the black jackal was grabbed and torn to pieces by the Titans. Whether there was truly a consciousness from Anubis within it, Hyoga did not know.

Lishid knew, of course, that this counterattack trap couldn't destroy God, but he was just trying it out.

More importantly, because [Whirlwind] was destroyed, [Apib's Avatar] has been successfully summoned, giving him another chance in the next turn and allowing him to prolong the time.

[Apibu's Divine Transformation, 4-star, Defense 1800]

But is it really that simple?

Hyoga revealed another magic card.

[The dead are resurrected!]

"Return, my dearest friend! 'Hero—the Righteous Lizard, the Demon Lizard Righteous Hero!'"

Hyoga's morale was almost completely extinguished because he bit his tongue while reading the name of the card "Double Up".

It's a bit hard to pronounce!

But it doesn't matter, a powerful monster with a completely crimson body has already appeared on the glacier!

【Heroic Lizard - Demonic Lizard Heroic, 8-star, Attack Power 2950】

Looking at it, Lishid's expression also turned somber.

"Then let's go!" Hyoga commanded, "Houyi Lizard, Demon Lizard Houyi, break that strange-looking trap monster!"

Yihao's live report!

With a wave of his hand, Hao Yi Lizard, the Demon Lizard, tore the trap monster to pieces.

Now, there is no longer any barrier between God and Lishid!

"Now! It's an attack from Camille! Lishid, I hope you can withstand it! Don't die!"

"Divine Fist Shatters!"

The giant's fist crashed down.

Lishid's figure was completely swallowed up.

The royal temple behind him also collapsed with a crash.

[Lishid, LP4000→0]

"Aa ...

Heart-wrenching roars rang out simultaneously.

Hyoga looked behind him and said with a smile, "You're back again?"

"Malik?"
