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

Yu-Che recalls that in the DM arc, Dimensional Magic had two versions. In the early stages, when the opponent attacked, two Spellcaster monsters were sacrificed to Special Summon a Spellcaster monster from the hand. In the later stages, it became the same effect as in the OCG.

"Tsk..." Yu Che's expression turned slightly serious. Amidst the explosion of Armed Dragon Lightning Lv10 and Black Magician perishing together, he said earnestly, "Your tactics did work, Yugi."

"However, the Armored Dragon Lv10 now has an attack power of a full 6000!!"

"With those two monsters on your field, there's no way you can defeat my Armed Dragon this turn!!"

Wang Yang smirked and said, "But what if the Dark Mage's sacrifice was part of my plan from the beginning?"

You Che's gaze sharpened.

"Since Dark Magician has been sent to the Graveyard, Dark Magician Girl's ATK will increase by 300," Yugi announced loudly. "Activate the Spell Card - Spider Silk! This card can add one card that your opponent used in the last turn and sent to the Graveyard to your hand!!"

"You Che, since you copied my card with double magic, I'll retaliate in the same way!!"

"The card I'm adding to my hand is—a treasure card that fell from the sky in my own graveyard!!!"

When Wang Yang slapped down his last card, everyone present was shocked.

Keihei Kaiba's eyes widened as he asked Seto Kaiba beside him, "Brother?! Isn't Spider Silk supposed to steal cards activated by the opponent? Why can Yugi select cards from his own graveyard?!"

Seto Kaiba stared intently at the battlefield and replied, "That's because Yugi triggered the Treasure Card from Yugi's graveyard using Double Spell last turn. So, although that card belongs to Yugi, it's actually a card that Yugi used, which meets the activation conditions for Spider Silk."

"However, strictly speaking, this practice is somewhat controversial."

"The current description of the double spell effect is: Select one spell card from your opponent's graveyard that was used in the previous turn."

"Whether this usage involves copying the effect or adding it to your hand before activating it is not yet clearly defined."

At this point, Seto Kaiba frowned, his determination to improve the rules and card descriptions growing even stronger.

Double Magic is a card that remains from the Duelist Kingdom era; its version has not been updated with the arrival of the Duelist City era.

When designing the Duel Kingdom card series, Pegasus probably blurred some of the effect descriptions in order to allow duelists to discover and create more possibilities in the Duel Kingdom tournament.

However, in today's increasingly competitive world of duels, this design clearly needs to be phased out.

A sticky spider web shot out from the card in Yugi's hand, first landing on Yugi's Duel Disk, then flipping back and sticking to his Graveyard. The spell card, which had already been copied once, traveled back and forth across the Duel Arena before finally flying back into Yugi's hand.

"When a spell card is activated, the Skilled Dark Magician will gain a spell counter!" Yugi played the card he had just retrieved. "And now, I activate Heavenly Treasure Card! While replenishing both players' hands to six cards, I grant the Skilled Dark Magician a second spell counter!!!"

"Splash splash ...

Golden light swirled across the sky, and countless gold coins rained down from above.

Cards were drawn one by one from their respective decks, and two of the three gems on the skilled black magician's robes lit up.

You Che noticed Wang Yang's actions.

He deliberately waited until he summoned the skilled dark magician before activating the spider silk combo. Clearly, he wanted to collect the three magic counters so that the skilled dark magician could revive the dark mage!

As expected, with both players' hands replenished again, Yugi ended his battle phase by saying, "Activate face-down card - Monster Resurrection!"

"Discard one card from your hand and add Osiris the Sky Dragon from your graveyard to your hand!!"

"At this moment, a skilled dark mage who has gathered all three magical tokens can serve as a sacrifice to resurrect a dark mage!!"

"Release the skilled dark magician! Return, Dark Magician!!!"

"Whoosh————————————————————"

Three jet-black magic stones simultaneously flashed with purple light, and a dark storm swirled around the skilled black mage. As the storm subsided, the black mage who had previously sacrificed himself returned to the battlefield!

Dark Magician

【Seven Stars】

[Dark Attribute/Mage Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2500/2100]

"Spell Card activated—Thousand Blades!!" Yugi announced. "When Dark Magician is on my field, you can destroy one monster on your opponent's field!!"

"I will choose your only remaining trump card—Armed Dragon Lv10!!!"

"Swish swish swish swish swish——————————————"

As the card was played, a series of bright silver scimitars shot out from the dark spacetime rift. Faced with the enemy's relentless attacks, the Armed Dragon Lv10 finally could not withstand the onslaught and was reduced to fragments with a roar.

"Bang!"

"In just one turn, the game destroyed all of Yugi's ace cards?!" Jonouchi exclaimed in surprise. "And he still has two monsters on his field..."

"As expected of a game, the power of this combo is terrifying..." Mai couldn't help but say.

Although he failed to clear out the LP of the card, Yugi successfully dealt with the two most troublesome monsters. Now that Osiris the Sky Dragon has been returned to his hand, he smiled smugly, set two cards face down, and ended his turn.

On the other side of the battlefield, You Che's expression was no different from Wang Yang's, as if nothing extraordinary had just happened.

Yugi calmly drew a card, looked at Yugi and smiled, "The final battle between Armed Dragon and Dark Magician isn't over yet, Yugi!"

"My turn, draw a card!!"

"Activate the Spell Card - Pot of Greed!!"

"Choose five monsters from your graveyard and return them to your deck, then draw two cards!!"

"Next, activate the Continuous Trap Card—Call of the Dead!!"

"Armed Dragon Thunder Lv7 will be resurrected from the graveyard using an attack attack!!!"

At this moment, everyone finally knew what the other card hidden under the cover was. No wonder that card hadn't been activated during the game's turn; it turned out to be a revival card for the second player!

The soul of the Armored Dragon was summoned back to the battlefield. Although it was only in its level seven form, Youche had clearly retrieved the two level ten Armored Dragons from the graveyard!

With the effect of Armed Dragon Raiden Lv7, one of its forms can be summoned very easily. As long as Yugi summons Armed Dragon Lv10 again, he can once again use that terrifying destructive power to wipe out all the monsters on Yugi's field!

【Armed Dragon - Lightning Lv7】

[Attack/Defense: 2800/1000]

"Not a bad idea. Do you want to summon the ultimate form of Armed Dragon again?" Yugi smiled and pressed the button on the Duel Disk. "But Cry of the Dead has a negative effect. As long as I destroy that Trap Card, your Armed Dragon - Lightning Lv7 will also be destroyed!!"

"To prevent you from summoning Armed Dragon Lv10 again, I'm going to activate this card—Spell Card—Trap Demolition!!"

"Smash the Cry of the Living Dead, your face-up Continuous Trap Card on the field!!!"

"Oh no!" Otogi Ryuji exclaimed, "Youche's tactics have been exposed!"

But just then, a silvery-white holy light descended from the sky, and the King's trap was successfully dismantled, destroying the Call of the Dead. Strangely, Armed Dragon Lightning Lv7 was still on the field.

Everyone was taken aback.

At the same time that Yugi activated his Spell Card, Yugi also activated Monster Resurrection. Could it be that he used Monster Resurrection to revive Armed Dragon Raiden Lv7?

But when the pure holy light dissipated, everyone was surprised to find that a monster had appeared on the field—a psychic android from the machine race!

【Artificial Human - Telekinetic Power Shocker】

【Six Star】

[Dark Attribute/Mechanical Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2400/1500]

"What...it's this monster?!" King Yoshi was surprised, but couldn't help but laugh and praise, "You're really something, Yoshiki."

"Ha, Yugi, while you were thwarting the cries of the living dead, I activated the Spell Card—Monster Reborn!" Yugi replied with a smile. "Through the effect of Monster Reborn, I resurrected the Android monster that I previously sent to the Graveyard with the Upgraded Armed Dragon. As long as the Android monster is on the field, all Trap Cards on the field will be negated and destroyed!!"

"And since the cries of the living dead have lost their effectiveness, Armed Dragon Thunder Lv7 will naturally not leave the field because of its negative effects!!"

"Yugi, the attack power of the two monsters on my field now exceeds that of yours. Before I can summon my ultimate form, Armed Dragon, I want to defeat your Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl!!"

"Battle phase begins! Android Psycho-Shocker attacks Dark Magician Girl!!!"

Facing the counterattack from the Armed Dragon, Yugi confidently replied, "But don't forget, my face card on the field hasn't been destroyed!!"

"At the moment Armed Dragon Lightning Lv7 attacks, I activate the Spell Card - Cross Spell!!"

"This round, Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl will be considered a single monster, and their attack power will increase to 3000!!!"

Chapter 196 Gods Under the Voice of Heaven! The Sleeping Giant - Gulp!

"Drink up!"

The pure holy light gradually dissipated, and the psychic psychic, now imbued with new life, roared and shot a dark red laser beam from its eyes!

The dark mage girl, whose attack power was slightly inferior, panicked. For a moment, she even forgot which spell to use to block. But at the critical moment, the dark mage appeared in time and stood in front of her!

Seeing her master's resolute gaze, the Dark Magician Girl quickly calmed down, raised her staff, and fought back against the enemy alongside the Dark Magician!

With the blessing of the magic card—Cross Magic—this master and apprentice transformed into a monster, standing together in one area, retaliating against the enemy with a magic orb interwoven with two different colored energies!

Dark Magician & Dark Magician Girl, Attack Power: 3000

"What a pity! The card Yugi placed face-down wasn't a Trap Card, so it can't be destroyed by the Android!" Ryuji Otogi exclaimed in surprise. "Faced with an effect like Cross Spell, the Android's attack power is simply insufficient. Yugi is in danger!!"

At this point, Yuche's LP is less than 1,000. If the android is destroyed in such a battle, he will suffer a considerable loss.

The crowd below turned to look at You Che, and under their focused gazes, the two vortex beams of energy, one pink and one purple, instantly swallowed the laser emitted by the android!

Just as the Dark Mage's apprentice's counterattack was about to hit the roaming monster, a card suddenly flew out, abruptly interrupting the battle!

As if time had frozen, the attacks from both sides first stopped, and then disappeared as if blown away by the wind.

"What happened?!" Jonouchi asked, stunned.

Peacock Dance's eyes widened as well, and she said, "It's...it's time leap?! Youche activated time leap, jumping the turn to three turns later, so the battle was forcibly interrupted!"

"But... why are the Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl still under the influence of cross magic?!" Jonouchi was completely dumbfounded.

"Heh, a mediocre person like you can only make it into the top eight, it really is just luck~" A sarcastic remark suddenly came over, and before Jonouchi could react, the arrogant Seto Kaiba explained, "Yuche is the time leap activated by the magic card in Chain Game."

"According to the rules, the effect of time travel will be resolved first, so the effect of the cross magic was triggered after three rounds for both sides were skipped."

"Therefore, Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl still maintain the form of cross magic."

Kaiba Keihei said thoughtfully, "That's a bit of a pity for Yuzuru, since if it weren't for that, he could have launched a new attack while still in the battle."

Seto Kaiba smirked: "It's not that simple. Yusuke wouldn't have activated that card just to avoid battle damage. He had an additional purpose in activating Time Leap at that point."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
