Yu-Gi-Oh!: This is the real duel!

Seeing that he was the one who attacked first, You Che couldn't help but smile.

In this world, you can build decks however you like!

Any card can be obtained from the system panel.

At this moment, he has an extremely rare and valuable card that can achieve "FTK" - Time Goddess's Mischief!

"My turn! Draw!" Yu Che shouted. "Attack Position Summon—X-Boss Ganon!"

"When Goblin Assault Force is the leader of your deck, all face-up monsters gain 500 ATK and lose 500 DEF!"

"And must switch to defense position at the end of the battle phase when attacking, and cannot change position until the end of your next turn!"

"Thanks to the effect of Deck Leader, X-Boss Cannon's attack power has reached 2300!!"

"Activate the Spell Card - Time Goddess's Mischief!!"

"Immediately end the current turn and proceed to our next turn's combat phase!!"

"Activate the Spell Card - Double Attack! Discard one monster with a Level greater than 4 from your hand. This turn, X-Boss Cannon can attack twice!!"

"Charge!! X-leader Cannon!! Direct attack!!"

Chapter 137 The Ingenious Strategy to Reach the Ark

"I see!"

"No wonder Yu Che chose that strange monster as the leader of his deck!"

Honda and Kyoko, who were watching from the sidelines, suddenly realized that Yuzuru had chosen Goblin Assault Force as the leader of his deck.

This world uses the Duel City rules, where high-level, powerful monsters require sacrifices and are difficult to summon in the first turn.

In order to end the duel as soon as possible and reunite with the others, Yuche chose this FTK strategy centered around four-star monsters.

With the help of the Goblin Assault Force and the mischievous prank of the Goddess of Time, you can defeat any monster that has an attack power greater than 1500!

Compared to Honda and Kyoko's conjectures, Yuche's considerations were actually a bit deeper.

In fact, he could have chosen not to launch the double attack, since the monster that leads the deck can be Special Summoned directly during his turn.

With 2300 attack power, the X-Boss Ganon, along with the Goblin Assault Force, which boasts the highest attack power among four-star monsters, could easily wipe out 4000 LP.

However, since the Deck Master rule states that the duelist will lose immediately if the Deck Master is destroyed, Yuzuru played it safe and did not immediately summon the Deck Master.

"Whoosh————————————"

With the double attack unleashed, a high-level monster was also placed in the graveyard. X-Boss Ganon, standing on the battlefield, glowed with a crimson light and prepared to deliver a full-force attack!

But just a second before You Che gave the order to launch a direct attack, a beam of light suddenly appeared on the opponent's field!

The monster that was just thrown into the graveyard has actually revived from the Shadow Demon's field!

Behemoth, the King of Beasts

【Seven Stars】

[Earth/Beast]

[Attack/Defense: 2700/1500]

"What?!" Honda exclaimed in surprise.

Kyoko exclaimed in shock, "Why? Wasn't that the monster that Yuzuriha discarded when he used his Double Attack? How did it revive on that guy's field?!"

Standing in the shadows of dusk, the wickedly grinning demon slowly writhed, whispering in a language no one could understand.

A system notification also appeared in the center of the battlefield.

[Note: When the effect of Deck Leader - Terror from Darkness is triggered, if either player has a monster sent from their hand or Deck to the Graveyard by their opponent's card effect, Special Summon one of those monsters to your field.]

So it was the ability to control the deck?

Upon understanding the situation, You Che's gaze sharpened, but he was not affected by the unexpected turn of events. Instead, he took an even more aggressive action: "In that case, I'll summon the Deck Leader directly! Come on! Goblin Assault Force!!"

Goblin mercenaries, armed with various inferior weapons, charged into the battlefield from behind Youche, howling and smugly mocking him.

Goblin Assault Force

【Four stars】

[Earth Attribute/Warrior Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2300/0]

"Huh?!" Honda exclaimed in confusion, "Summoning a goblin assault force at a time like this? But their attack power is simply insufficient!"

"And... if the deck leader is destroyed, wouldn't we lose immediately?" Kyoko looked bewildered and worried.

“That’s right,” Yu Che said with a confident smile, “the original attack power of the Goblin Assault Force was indeed not as high as that of the Beast King.”

"However, the abilities it generates when it serves as the deck's leader also apply to itself!"

"After receiving the buff from the Deck Master, the Goblin Assault Force's attack power is not 2300 but 2800! That's exactly 100 more than Beast King Behemoth!!"

Honda and Kyoko were taken aback, then cheered with delight.

Yu Che pointed at the demon still grinning evilly in the shadows and announced, "Goblin Assault Force! Defeat Behemoth, the Beast King!"

"Afterwards, X's leader, Cannon, who can now launch two attacks, will launch a direct attack!!"

"X's boss, Cannon, has an attack power of 2300. After two attacks, it's enough to empty your LP!!"

"The duel is over!!!"

A horde of goblins swarmed forward and beat the Beast King to death!

Then, two crimson laser beams shot out from the cannon of the leader, blasting the arrogant shadow demon into pieces!

"Boom!"

Meanwhile, as Yuzuru reunited with Honda and Kyoko, another trio was searching for the extremely important Noah's Ark based on clues.

Their combination is quite subtle, consisting of Jonouchi, Shizuka, and Mai.

"OTK! That's an OTK!" Jonouchi excitedly recounted his amazing play. "I was so strong! I finished off my opponent in just one turn! It's so satisfying to use powerful monsters! Hahahaha!"

In the Duel City Tournament, Jonouchi, who was short of money, could only use some cheap warrior cards and gambling cards.

Here, where decks can be freely assembled, Jonouchi naturally wanted to vent his frustrations, stuffing his deck with a lot of powerful monsters.

He won the duel just now using the Seven Star Monster - Demon Zoa.

"Brother is so amazing!" Shizuka never hesitated to praise her brother.

But Mai Kongque scoffed, "Tch! Even if you had every card in the world to choose from, you still put a few gambling cards in your deck. Looks like luck accounts for a large part of your skill, huh?"

Hearing this, Jonouchi surprisingly didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed and said, "Yes, yes! I, Jonouchi, have always relied on luck. But speaking of which, I seem to have defeated a certain lady who used the Divine Eagle deck by relying on luck~"

"What?!" Mai Kongjaku stopped in her tracks, raised her eyebrows, and shouted, "Jounouchi, do you dare to duel me here! Whoever loses has to treat the other to dinner for a month, how about that?!"

The innocent Shizuka chimed in with a smile, "That sounds like a bet only boyfriends and girlfriends would make~"

"Boyfriend, boyfriend?! Shizuka, what are you talking about?!" Jonouchi walked away in a panic, her face flushed.

On the contrary, Mai, being a girl, smiled magnanimously, without saying a word, and just silently smiled at Jonouchi, whose face was embarrassed.

Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from not far away, and the ground trembled.

The three were taken aback. Looking into the distance, they saw a centaur sage wielding a divine mirror charging towards them.

Jonouchi excitedly greeted, "Hey! Can you tell us where Noah's Ark is?!"

But the sage seemed quite unfriendly. As he rushed towards the three, he raised his divine mirror and unleashed a blinding divine light!

"Oh no! Get out of the way!!" Kong Quewu exclaimed.

"boom--------------"

An explosion rang out, and a huge crater appeared in the area illuminated by the divine light.

Fortunately, the three dodged in time and were not injured.

"What's going on?!" Jonouchi gritted his teeth. "They're clearly gods... why are they attacking us?"

Mai Kongou frowned, preparing to unfold the Duel Disk: "It's probably because you just used a Devil Monster. There's no other way but to settle this with a duel!"

"But... this sage seems very strong..." Shizuka said with some worry.

After the previous attack missed, the centaur sage rushed forward again and raised the divine mirror once more.

Just as Jonouchi and Mai Kongjaku decided to fight to the death, a mysterious futuristic device suddenly appeared out of thin air and lit up!

After the dazzling light faded, the three found themselves in an unfamiliar place, and standing beside them were Seto Kaiba, Keihei Kaiba, Yugi Muto, and Ryuji Mikasa?!

"What?! What's going on?" Jonouchi was a little confused.

Seto Kaiba sneered and said, "Nothing much, I just happened to save the life of a mediocre person like you."

Before the two could start arguing, the gentle Yugi Muto quickly stepped forward and explained with a smile, "It's the power of the cards, Jonouchi."

"In this world, everyone has the ability to use a card in every era."

"I first met up with Yu Jialong'er, and in order to get everyone together as soon as possible, we came up with a combo."

"I will use the magic card—Eye of Truth—to reveal everyone's location, and then Yu Jialong will use subspace matter teleportation to move everyone to our side."

"Because the card needs to cool down for a period of time after its ability is activated, Guiping just helped to use the second Subspace Matter Teleportation card."

"I believe we'll be able to reunite with Yuzuru, Honda, and Anzu soon."

Jonouchi nodded thoughtfully: "I see... But Kaiba! What about you? Why aren't you doing anything?"

"Hmph!" Seto Kaiba said arrogantly, "I've already used my card."

Kaiba Keihei laughed, "My brother is definitely the main force in the battle! He just defeated quite a few demons with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

"Tch!" Jonouchi scoffed. "In this world, I can also use the Blue-Eyes White Dragon."

"What?! You're not allowed to use this guy!" Seto Kaiba shouted. "A mediocre person like you is an insult to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

"Hehe~" Jonouchi pretended to adjust his deck and said, "What's it to you? I'm going to put three copies of Blue-Eyes White Dragon into my deck right now!"

"Tsk! You bastard!" Seto Kaiba said with disgust.

While the two were arguing, Yuuka Ryuuji's subspace matter teleportation device cooled down and teleported Yuuka, Honda, and Kyoko, who had gathered together, to everyone's side.
