It's time to become an evil god.

"Really?"

Bai Ge stared at the other person with a suspicious look.

Yuju Hoshima calmly said, "When I participated in the competition before, whether I went first or second, I always had five Dark Archmage pieces stuck together. The referee suspected that I hadn't shuffled the cards. In the following duels, three referees took turns shuffling the cards for me. No matter how they shuffled, I always started with five Dark Archmage pieces. They suspected that I had used my own skill, Grandpa, to shuffle the cards, so I was banned from participating in the competition with five Dark Archmage pieces."

Bai Ge took a deep breath and said, "...Actually, I came to ask you because I wanted to learn some skills. I can't learn how to use the Dou Shou tablet."

Yuju Hoshino shrugged and continued, "Then I became a player. The first dungeon was Duel City, and the mission was to collect as many cards as possible through duels before the game ended. This was also the reward after the mission was completed."

As he spoke, he flashed the duel disk in his hand.

"Oh right, I haven't told you about the rules yet."

Yuju Hoshino took out a few cards from inside and placed them in front of Hakugo, explaining, "Look, these are monster cards. Monsters below level four can be summoned directly, while monsters above level four require leveling up to summon unless there are special summoning rules. These are spell cards and trap cards, placed in the spell and trap zone. Except for a few special rules, trap cards can only be activated in the next turn."

"Um……"

Bai Ge nodded and tentatively asked, "It sounds pretty simple?"

Yuju Hoshima placed another card in front of him. "Alright, you've learned the basic rules. Now use these cards to Synchro Summon Cosmic Radiant Dragon."

"..."

As if he had just thought of something, Yuju Hoshino said, "If your next scenario is about the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe, then you can keep these three cards."

Bai Ge took the card from the other person and said in confusion, "Hmm? Pot of Greed."

"Yes, this card can be used in any parallel universe related to Yu-Gi-Oh! duels, but only within the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe. In other universes, it's just a useless card. Also, you can keep an eye out for these cards. If you encounter a tough opponent, they might be able to solve the problem."

The Great Universe, Skill Extraction, Void Space, Divine Announcement, Divine Proclamation, Divine Warning, Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, The Demon Bell Cave, Turtle Kaiju, Primal Life Form, Great Arrest, Lava Demon God...

After giving the card names above, Yuju Hoshima also made his own request: "In exchange, I want to know how to expel the Outer Gods."

"Hmm? Wait a minute."

Bai Ge's expression turned serious. "Did you pick up a Nyarlathotep while you were out?"

"I'm not joking."

Yuju Hoshino said seriously, "Now we are all considered players who have left the newbie village, which means that we may encounter beings that can be called gods in the upcoming missions. Looking back now, obtaining the qualification for promotion is not the most important reward. The spells from Miskatonic University are the most important hidden rewards."

Everyone else in the tavern pricked up their ears, quietly eavesdropping on the discussion at this table.

The once noisy tavern became quiet.

Bai Ge didn't say it directly. Instead, he took out a piece of paper, quickly wrote a sentence on it, folded it, and handed it to Youju Hoshino. He glanced at it from side to side and whispered, "Open it when there's no one around."

Yuju Hoshino nodded, put the note into his quest item inventory, and then the two of them quickly logged off.

After logging off from the game, Yuu Hoshino first set up dozens of anti-detection items around him to prevent other players from secretly eavesdropping on him. He also installed an anti-mind-pollution device in his mind. After confirming that no mind-peeping devices had been installed on him, Yuu Hoshino excitedly unfolded the neatly folded note in his hands with trembling hands.

There is only one short sentence above.

Avatar takes lives.

"Grass!"

……

After exiting the game from the flea market and making all the necessary preparations, Bai Ge took a deep breath and, with only one minute left on the countdown, opened the next single-player dungeon. The note he'd given earlier was merely a decoy; he had already sent the real incantation to the other party via private message.

Tick, tick.

Cool raindrops fell on her face. Bai Ge slowly opened her eyes and saw towering, rough walls on both sides and a gray, gloomy sky that had been cut into a line.

Rain soaked my clothes, and the alleyway reeked of household garbage.

Bai Ge struggled to get up from the black plastic garbage bag and glanced at his appearance through the puddle.

A teenager with short hair, his face still bearing bruises from being beaten.

I tentatively opened the interface; all items were still locked, but my stat points were preserved. The taskbar showed that I was currently investigating the accident that occurred before my amnesia.

"By the way, my name is..."

Bai Ge hurriedly searched through the documents in his pocket, trying to find his identity information, but unfortunately he found nothing; his pocket was empty.

"Does that mean I'm an unregistered resident?"

Bai Ge stood up from the garbage heap, dusted himself off, and prepared to walk out of the alley, but heard footsteps behind him.

"Hehe, so you've been here."

Bai Ge turned around and saw a guy in a black trench coat and sunglasses standing in front of him. He said coldly, "Did you think you could escape from me after borrowing money from loan sharks?"

The drizzling rain dampened his hair. Bai Ge squinted at the other person, assuming a wary stance.

However, this only fueled his competitive spirit. He raised his duel disk and said with a sneer, "What? You want to fight back? I just wanted to test out my recently acquired deck. You duel me, and if you win, we're even. If you lose, you'll be working in the mines for the rest of your life."

Bai Ge took a deep breath. Players at level 10 have already surpassed the limits of human physical fitness. Even with the disparity in physique and weight, Bai Ge still chose to suddenly burst forward and charge at the uninvited guest in the black trench coat. Before the other party could react, he punched him hard in the abdomen.

puff.

The man coughed up blood, bent over like a shrimp, clutching his abdomen, and knelt in the puddle. He raised his head, gritting his teeth as he cursed, "Young man, you have no sportsmanship..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Ge circled behind him and grabbed his right hand with a noose.

"Wait, what do you want to do?"

Click.

Before he could finish speaking, he dislocated the man's right shoulder, causing him to let out a heart-wrenching roar. A burly man lay on the ground, sweating profusely from the pain.

Bai Ge took the duel disk and cards from his opponent's hand and placed them in his own.

"Who exactly are you?"

"I?"

Bai Ge thought for a moment, then made up a name on the spot and said in a pretentious, aloof tone, "You can call me Reyaka Hunter, Fire Sun Lord."

Chapter 219 Young Man, Let's Have a Dark Duel

After snatching the cards from the opponent, Bai Ge took out three Pot of Greed from his pocket and stuffed them into his deck, then discarded all the other cards that were of unclear significance.

The most urgent task is to understand the background of this parallel world before we can make further speculations about our own identity.

Fortunately, there are electronic displays throughout the city that citizens can freely borrow and browse, and through the city handbooks, they can get a general understanding of the corresponding background worldview.

"The current timeline is thirty years after the end of the first KC Cup Duel Tournament, and it is a parallel world of Domino City, where different summoning rituals such as Synchro, Xyz, and Ritual exist."

"Moreover, all citizens must register a Duelist ID at birth, otherwise they will be listed as unregistered by the city government and will not enjoy housing, medical and educational security services. Without a Duelist ID, no one will even want to work."

"Children must attend dueling academies when they reach the appropriate age. Students with good grades and talent will be eligible to join the professional dueling league and become professional duelists. Students with average or poor grades can only work in other industries with relatively low incomes after graduation."

"Duel academies are also divided into different tiers. The best elite duel academies are usually located in the city center where land prices are highest, and school district housing there is often extremely difficult to find. Third-rate duel academies are usually located in satellite districts and civilian areas, where the teaching staff is obviously not very good. Top-tier duel academies usually start practicing card drawing at six in the morning. In addition to regular class time, they also have to do a lot of endgame puzzle tests during evening self-study sessions after class every day, and there are duel promotion exams every month. The level of competition in this education system doesn't seem to be much different from the real world."

"In this world, attempting to manufacture counterfeit cards is equivalent to the death penalty. Once caught, if the evidence is conclusive, one can be executed without trial."

“Every year in July and August, the Professional Duel League Qualifying Tournament, which has a limited number of slots, will be held. It is commonly known as the Duel College Entrance Examination. In addition to receiving rare cards from the official organizers, the winners will also receive a qualification spot. Every year, millions of Duel Academy students and other members of the public compete for this single spot.”

At the same time, Bai Ge noticed a newly released message.

"Duel academy instructors are prohibited from providing private tutoring or skill instruction for any fee. Violators will have their teaching licenses revoked, and their students will be banned from competition for life. Recently, the police cracked a case involving a dueling academy instructor providing private tutoring. When arrested, the instructor insisted that he was only engaged in the illegal activity of kidnapping students and had not provided any tutoring. It wasn't until the sheriff's prosecutor found dueling disks and cards in his villa's safe that the suspect finally confessed to his crimes."

"..."

Bai Ge tried to use facial scanning to check his identity, but the result showed that no such person could be found.

"Am I really an unregistered resident?"

However, it shows that Bai Ge had a spending record of opening card packs in a certain place in the slums.

Bai Ge remembered finding a slip of paper in the hands of the loan shark; it was an invitation to the underground dueling world, and the address on it was exactly the same as his own address.

This was the only clue. Fortunately, the civilian district wasn't too far from here, so Bai Ge braved the rain and ran towards the civilian district.

After leaving the bustling streets, the slums became old and deserted, filled with dilapidated buildings. Shrouded in a misty rain, even the ground was uneven and full of potholes. The idlers on either side of the houses cast unfriendly glances at him, until Bai Ge stopped at the entrance to the underground dueling world, at which point those rude individuals reluctantly withdrew their stares.

The man blocking the entrance immediately showed an impatient expression when he saw Bai Ge appear. He waved his hand and said, "Didn't we tell you we don't know any of your sisters? Hurry up and leave."

"Wait a moment."

Bai Ge narrowed his eyes, staring at the other person, and asked, "Have you seen me before?"

"nonsense."

The man said irritably, "This is an underground dueling arena, not a missing persons inquiry office. Get lost."

Just as Bai Ge was about to break a few of the other man's teeth before asking any questions, a deep, aged voice came from behind the strong man, "Wait."

An elderly man with a cane appeared before Bai Ge. The security guard at the gate immediately nodded respectfully and said, "Mr. Daze, this person..."

"Let him in."

The old man named Osawa said with a smile, "Young man, I have found the information you are looking for."

The security personnel had no choice but to let Bai Ge in. Da Ze led Bai Ge through a corridor to the dilapidated arena. In one of the broken, old gladiator halls stood a statue of a five-headed dragon. Many duelists spontaneously walked up to it and silently bowed in acknowledgment.

Osawa said with a smile, "That is the witness to the birth of Hell Caesar, the former chairman of the Duel Pro League. Now, almost every new underground duelist comes to worship it, hoping to be invincible in the arena."

The old man turned his head, looked at Bai Ge behind him, and said, "You want to get information? But there's no such thing as a free lunch."

He pointed to the arena and said, "Go and have a dark duel with him. If you win, I'll tell you where your sister is."

Bai Ge looked in the direction the other person was pointing and saw a shirtless man standing in the iron cage arena, his whole body covered with frightening and hideous scars.

Daze placed an agreement in front of Bai Ge and said, "Sign this life-or-death contract before you go in."

Bai Ge decisively wrote Huo You Ri Jun's name on it.

Besides, what does it have to do with me, Bai Ge, if you, Huo Youri, sign a life-or-death contract?

"Hey, little kid, you're pretty brave!"

While picking his ear with his little fingernail, the other person sneered, "You actually dare to duel with me, [Hell Demon]? Don't you know I've already won ten matches in a row in the underground dueling arena?"

The staff strapped Professor Yang's specially developed electric shock amplification device to Bai Ge's hands. Once attacked, it would begin to deplete his health points, and even minor injuries would cause him excruciating pain throughout his body. Only after one's health points reached zero and he collapsed could he emerge from the dark iron cage.

It not only determined victory or defeat, but also life or death.

A truly dark game.

The demon from hell licked his lips, revealing a ferocious expression. "Let me teach you, this hothouse flower, a lesson in what a death duel is all about. Duel, I'll go first, draw a card!"
