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

"boom!!!!!!!!!"

The surging divine power was injected into that punch, and Obelisk the Titan pierced through the armor of the Mobile Castle Fortress with a single blow. Three component monsters fell to the ground, and the high impact swept towards Yugi Muto!

"Beep beep beep beep————————————"

Yugi Muto, LP: 3400 → 2400

After the attack, Atum set a face-down card to end his turn.

Despite the excruciating pain from the impact, Yugi Muto bravely raised his head, slapped down several face-down cards, and summoned Silent Swordsman Lv0 in attack position!

Atum's gaze sharpened. He knew his partner must have set a trap, but the God Cards ignored the abilities of any trap card. Facing those impenetrable walls of face-down cards, he first replenished his hand with the Heavenly Treasure Card, then launched another attack with a wave of his arm!

But to his surprise, several cards were revealed, and the seemingly invincible god was affected, his attack power decreasing by a full 1,500, while the previously weak Silent Swordsman gained power comparable to the Titan!

"Nani?!" Atum was somewhat shocked.

"Quick-Play Spell Card - Time Leap and Trap Card - Earth Erosion!!" Yugi Muto exclaimed. "Through Time Leap, the duel will be pushed back three turns, and the Silent Swordsman will gain 1500 ATK as a result!!"

"The effect of Earth's Erosion increases with the number of turns this card is face-down. After three face-down turns, by tribute this card, you can reduce the ATK of all monsters on your opponent's field by 1500!!"

"Since this card affects your Monster Zone, not a God, Obelisk the Tormentor's resistance is ineffective!!"

"Silent Swordsman!! Let's perish together with Obelisk!!"

"Whoosh——————————————"

Before he could finish speaking, Atum's face-down card was revealed: "It's not that simple! Partner! I've also activated the Continuous Trap Card on the field—Summoning Timer!"

"When your opponent activates a Spell or Trap, for the number of turns this card has been active, you can Tribute this card and one monster on the field to Summon an equal number of monsters from your hand without Tributing them!!"

"I will sacrifice the last remaining Trickster token!!"

"Attack Position: Queen Knight and King Knight are Summoned. Due to King Knight's effect, Guard Knight is Special Summoned from the Deck!!"

"Finally, the second God Card to appear is Osiris the Sky Dragon!!"

"Since I have three cards in my hand, its attack power is three thousand points!!!"

Osiris the Sky Dragon

[Ten Stars]

[Divine Attribute/Phantom Divine Beast Race]

[Attack/Defense: 0/0]

"Tsk!!" Yugi Muto frowned. "Trap Card - Counterattack Shield!!"

"Tribute one monster, and this turn, add the DEF of the sacrificed monster to the ATK of one monster on your field!!"

"This card will unleash the power of the Red Gear into the Silent Swordsman, increasing its attack power to 4000!!!"

"Hmph~" Atum remained unmoved, "Then let the Guard Knights and the King's Knights slay the remaining two Gear Monsters!!"

"Then, end the battle phase and sacrifice the three Knights of JQK!!"

"Come forth!! The third God Card—Ra the Winged Dragon!!!"

As soon as the card was revealed, the chanting of ancient priest script echoed, startling everyone. They hadn't expected Atem to summon the three Egyptian God cards simultaneously!

With each chant, the Winged Dragon of Ra, as dazzling as the sun, let out a long roar and unleashed an undying golden light!

The three phantom gods looked down at the battlefield from their high vantage point. Yugi Muto felt an immense pressure, but for Atem's sake, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

【Ra's Winged Dragon】

[Ten Stars]

[Divine Attribute/Phantom Divine Beast Race]

[Attack/Defense: 0/0]

"What?!"

"Three God Cards?!"

"Is this... is this the true power of another game?!"

Amidst gasps of surprise, Atem unleashed another card: "Not over yet! Activate the Spell Card—Pot of Greed! Draw two cards from your deck!! End this turn!!"

Looking up at the towering Three Illusionary Gods, Youche's eyes gleamed.

Up to now, everything is still in my memory, but when I see this magnificent and spectacular sight, it is still hard not to be moved.

Seto Kaiba's face darkened. He had been looking forward to the duel, but now it seemed that everything had ended too quickly. No one could defeat the three Egyptian God cards that appeared at the same time, and the outcome of the duel was already decided.

But the next second, Yugi Muto's powerful words came out, which greatly surprised Seto Kaiba. He did not expect that this usually weak vessel would now have such a strong inner strength.

"I will win this duel!!" The short-statured Yugi Muto stood fearless, firmly guarding his position. The card in his hand trembled slightly, not from fear, but from excitement and exhilaration. "I am standing here now for the sake of another version of my past!"

"No matter what, I must defeat the Three Egyptian Gods!!"

"My other self, I came here by following in your footsteps..."

"Because of your strength, I have gradually gained the courage to face anything!"

"I want to be like you, always believing in my deck and my own power, no matter how terrifying the enemy I face!!"

"The Three Egyptian Gods... are not invincible!!"

"Like a thousand-year-old zigzag block, even though it took me eight years, I finally put it together!!"

"My turn!! Draw a card!!!"

"In that instant, the Silent Swordsman reached Lv4, and his attack power increased to 3000!!"

"Then, as tribute, I Special Summon—Magnet Warrior Electromagnetic Warrior!!!"

"Then activate the effect of Magnet Warrior: Electromagnetic God!!"

"Tribute this card to Special Summon three Magnet Warriors from your Graveyard!!!"

Facing the God Card...

Instead, they've broken down the main monster into a series of weaker entities?!

Atum did not understand Yugi Muto's intention.

Due to the Special Summon of a new monster, the effect of Osiris the Sky Dragon automatically activated, unleashing three consecutive Lightning Bolts at the three Magnet Warriors!

The Magnet Warriors' attack power is less than two thousand, so they will be instantly destroyed when subjected to this effect!

"Boom boom boom——————————————"

Facing three consecutive lightning strikes, Yugi Muto flipped up his last face-down card: "Now!!"

"Trap Card activated - Magnet Power!!"

"If a Rock-Type or Machine-Type monster is affected by an opponent's card effect, transfer all effects it received this turn to your opponent's monster!!"

"God cannot resist the effects of God!!"

"Therefore, the three Egyptian God cards will have their attack power reduced by 2000 due to the Sky Dragon Osiris!!"

"Battle commencement!! The Silent Swordsman launches an attack on Obelisk the Colossus!!!"

The moment the card was revealed, the three lightning bolts were abruptly redirected, heading straight for Atem's own monster. Affected by this effect, Obelisk the Tormentor was left with only 500 attack power!

The Silent Swordsman swung his greatsword and rose to strike!

But a dazzling beam of light flashed, blasting the Silent Swordsman and the three Magnet Warriors in attack stance into pieces!

Everyone watched in shock as everything happened in the blink of an eye, and many people hadn't even had time to react.

"Trap Card - Divine Power: Mirror Wall!!" Atem shouted, "When an opponent's monster attacks, destroy all Attack Position monsters on your opponent's field!!"

"But in that instant, my combo to defeat God is complete!!" Yugi Muto plays a Quick-Play Spell Card.

"Nani?!" Atum's eyes widened in surprise.

"Activate Magnet Regeneration!!" Yugi Muto shouted firmly, "Special Summon Magnet Warrior Electromagnetic Warrior from the Graveyard in Defense Position!!"

"Activate its effect again, and as a tribute, Special Summon three Magnet Warriors from the Graveyard!!"

"Since the effect of the magnet's power lasts for the entire turn, the Summoning Lightning Bolt from the Sky Dragon of Osiris will be reflected again!!"

"With this ability, my other self and the Three Phantom Gods will be completely annihilated!!!"

"Rumble rumble rumble rumble ————————————"

A series of booming sounds rang out as three more lightning-summoning projectiles were deflected back. The three Phantom Gods, whose attack power had been reduced to zero, fell one after another. Large plumes of smoke rose, and everyone wore expressions of disbelief!

However, the fall of the three Egyptian God cards does not signify the end of the duel!

Atem waved his card, summoning his trump card monster—Winged Beast Chimera. A roar and a whirlwind arose simultaneously, and one of the three Magnet Warriors immediately fell!

Atum still holds the upper hand in the battle!

Yugi Muto clenched his fist and continued to retaliate: "Use the two Magnet Warriors as sacrifices!!"

"Superior Summoning—Swordsman of Destruction!!"

"Entering battle phase!!"

"Attack the Winged Beast Chimera!!!"

"Destructive Slash!!!"

"But it's not over yet! Partner!!" Atum, having taken the damage, roared, "Through the destruction of the Winged Beast Chimera, I have been resurrected from the graveyard—Baphomet!!!"

"In my turn, Baphomet will be sacrificed!!"

"Appear!! Gilfair Demon!!"

"Next, set a face-down card. End of turn!!!"

Chapter 317 The Final Story

The Duel Ritual is a crucial ceremony that determines whether Pharaoh Atum can return to the Underworld.

In this duel, Atum and Yugi Muto must fight with all their might. Only if Yugi Muto defeats Atum can the Pharaoh, who has been wandering for three thousand years, return to the underworld.

For the sake of this ceremony, and so as not to leave any regrets for each other, the two have fought with all their might until now.

Atum, whose mental strength had reached its peak, no longer needed to look at the cards. He would simply slap down every card he drew. For him, every draw after that was exactly what he wanted.
