Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

Seeing the surprised expression on Tendou Ren's face, Lilith grinned, revealing a foxy smile.

"They were actually hiding behind the ruins. After I cursed them, saying 'The people of the Eastern Alliance are all cowardly wimps,' they all came rushing over in a huff."

At this moment, the Earthbound God Veracocha Raska, who was inside the barrier, also clearly sensed the changes outside the arena.

Although His flawless face remained impassive, a flame of extreme rage burned within His pure black eyes.

It was just a hair's breadth away. If His retinue had completely occupied the slum ruins encompassed by the altar, His kingdom would have been firmly established, and He would have remained in the world forever.

Everything was almost going to succeed!

I don't know where this damned mortal came from, but they actually stopped His retinue!

He looked at Youyang with displeasure, only to find that, at some point, violent purple lightning had begun to surge and dance around this mortal, as if it were outlining something extremely terrifying and unfamiliar even to Him.

For some reason, the aura that You Yang was exuding at this moment, that pure and indomitable will, actually made even a god like Him feel a strange sense of unease.

One after another, they are rebelling against Him!

When the local deity, Viracocha Raska, looked at Youyang, he discovered that Youyang's eyes were already open!

In that instant, the violent purple lightning even flickered and shone deep within his pupils, and the image of a ferocious mechanical giant eagle was clearly imprinted in his pupils!

"The card I'm activating is—a Quick-Play Spell Card!"

"【Wings Ascension Magic - Raptor's Power】!"

boom--!!!

The violent purple lightning was no longer an illusion at this moment, but transformed into a pillar of lightning that reached the heavens and the earth, rising up from You Yang's golden duel disk and soaring into the sky above the barrier!

The seemingly indestructible, dark barrier constructed by divine power was actually blasted into a huge and twisted hole in front of this pillar of lightning!

Outside the barrier, the dark purple sky, which was obscured by the true form of the Earthbound God, seemed to be stirred by this rebellious will as well.

Within the void, dark clouds gathered wildly, and billions of purple lightning bolts surged and roared within, as if brewing a thunderstorm powerful enough to destroy even the gods, illuminating this deathly darkness completely!

"The effect of the [Wings Ascension Magic - Raptor's Power]!"

"Only one card with this name can be activated per turn!"

"During your or your opponent's Main Phase, or your opponent's Battle Phase, you can target two or more 'Raid Raptor' Xyz Monsters, including monsters on the field, in your field or Graveyard, to activate this effect!"

Special Summon one "Raid Raptor" Xyz Monster from your Extra Deck as an Xyz Summon! This monster must have the same Rank as the combined Rank of the two or more of those monsters.

"And treat the target monster as Xyz Material for that monster (if the target monster possesses Xyz Material, all of that Material will also be treated as new Xyz Material)!"

You Yang's voice rang out amidst the roaring thunder, carrying an unwavering determination. He pointed to the three radiant figures on his field and in the graveyard!

"I'm using the Tier 5 [Rapid Raptor - Valiant Wood Owl] on the field—"

"And in the graveyard, there are Rank 4 [Raider Knight] and Rank 4 [Dark Rebel Xyz Dragon]—"

"—Activate by targeting these three monsters!"

"Use a Rank 5 Xyz Monster and two Rank 4 Xyz Monsters to perform an Ultimate Rank Up!"

Was the final step still an Xyz Summon?

The Earthbound God, Veracocha Raska, still harbored a slight, contemptuous sneer, but as he instinctively added together the three numbers You Yang had just mentioned in his mind—

"5... plus 4... plus another 4..."

His smile froze instantly.

"Wait... Class 13?!"

"What you are summoning—"

"A being of class 13?!"

For the first time, an uncontrollable look of terror appeared on the flawless face of the Earthbound God, Viracocha Raska, and he even screamed incoherently!

In this world, "God" is a supreme being.

It is an existence that ordinary elves and mortal beings can never reach.

However, there is only one situation in which an ordinary elf can break free from the constraints of this rank.

That is—the elves have transcended the limits of their existence and reached a completely new existence that is unattainable by mortals!

To transform into an existence that also possesses the status of "god"!

For example, the ultimate Link Monster—Link 6!

Although it does not have the name of a god, it already possesses the status of a god.

Xyz Monsters of Rank 13 are also included in this category!

Earthbound God Veracocha Raska suddenly looked up, glaring at You Yang, his pure black eyes filled with unprecedented fear and rage.

Besides being watched by the red dragon, does this mortal also possess such a forbidden power?!

Are you kidding me?!

Youyang did not answer Him, but slowly looked towards his extra deck area.

He reached out and slowly pulled the last card, which carried all his hopes of a counterattack, from the Extra Deck, and held it high above his head!

boom--!!!

A violent bolt of purple lightning, as if summoned by this will, crashed down from the churning dark clouds high in the sky!

This bolt of lightning, like a divine thunderbolt descending upon the world, brutally tore through the dark barrier of the gods, emitting a series of ear-piercing explosions, and finally landed squarely on the card that You Yang was holding high in his hand!

The card art on that card was instantly rewritten and reforged by this violent lightning power, right before the horrified eyes of the Earthbound God, Viracocha Raska!

Around Youyang, purple lightning surged and roared wildly, as if it had found a king's subject!

A strong wind swept out, blowing away all the nauseating purple miasma within the barrier!

Accompanying this was a high-pitched cry that seemed to tear the soul apart, and the gale and lightning intensified even more at that moment!

High in the sky, a purple figure, seemingly carrying all the rebellious will, swooped down and resolutely merged into the card that You Yang held high!

You Yang's voice also came from the center of the thunder and gale.

That voice no longer belonged to mortals, but carried supreme majesty and final judgment!

"O falcon born from the deepest darkness!"

"Spread your boundless wings that can cover the heavens and the earth, and at this moment, unleash the final rebellion once more!"

Rumble—!!!

An unprecedented, enormous, and boundless golden supermassive vortex suddenly unfolded with Youyang at its center!

The vortex was so vast that it completely encompassed the indestructible dark barrier of the Earthbound God, Viracocha Raska!

The raging lightning surged wildly across the card in You Yang's hand as he slammed down the reforged card!

The sound of the slapping was like a thunderclap from the heavens, exploding in the ears of everyone inside and outside the barrier!

"Leap-up to a higher level, super-transformation!"

"Surpass! Class 13!!!"

"【Rapid Raptor - Winged Rebellious Falcon】!"

Within that enormous golden vortex, a pure, violent pillar of purple lightning shot into the sky, its power even surpassing the ominous red light that accompanied the descent of the gods!

The entire slum ruins, and even a large part of Tian Shu City, were enveloped by this powerful and suffocating energy fluctuation!

In the sky, an enormous purple outline gradually appeared amidst the lightning.

The endless darkness brought by the earthbound god Veracocha Raska was completely dispelled by this rebellious thunder at this moment!

Everyone present, whether it was Xie Wan'an and the others outside the barrier, or Ling Zhiyong, who had long since lost all hope on the altar, all saw that towering figure that would be etched in their memories for a lifetime.

The first thing that catches the eye is a pair of enormous wings that also blot out the sky.

Its wingspan also covered the entire sky, standing in stark contrast to the colossal true form of the Earthbound God, a perfect match.

Its wings were a deep, dark purple, like an abyssal alloy that had been tempered for thousands of years, but at the edge of each piece of armor, there was an ominous and sharp golden gleam.

Its wings are made up of countless layers of sharp armor plates that gleam with a metallic luster, each plate engraved with dark purple lightning patterns.

The raging purple lightning danced and leaped incessantly on its wings, as if providing it with a continuous and inexhaustible source of power.

Its body was robust and agile. Due to the movement of lightning, its entire body was also dark purple, but key parts such as the breastplate and shoulder armor were covered with magnificent golden armor, which was both luxurious and full of indescribable power.

On its head were a pair of huge, cold red compound eyes burning with raging fury, coldly staring at the equally enormous earthbound god, Veracocha Raska, opposite it.

Stared at by those cold, rebellious mechanical eyes, the true form of the Earthbound God, Veracocha Raska, let out a roar filled with anger and fear!

He could clearly sense that the mechanical creation opposite him contained a terrifying power of equal rank, no less than his own!

[Rapid Raptor - Rebellious Falcon with Wings] [Tier 13]

[Dark/Xyz/Winged Beast] [Attack: 4000 / Defense: 3500]

"What...what exactly is that thing?"

"Was it... summoned by that brat You Yang?"

Liu Cheng felt his legs go weak and he could no longer support his body. He sat down with a thud on the cold, gravelly ground. He gasped for breath and asked in horror.

The instant the [Rapid Raptor - Winged Rebellious Falcon] descended, the violent purple lightning, like a divine punishment to cleanse the world, transformed into a tangible shockwave that swept out.

The endless, disgusting skeletal vultures on the battlefield were instantly wiped out.

Let's talk about the bug I mentioned.

The mistake I'm referring to is about the card 【Winged Rank Up Spell - Raging Raptor Power】. Its effect can only use Raging Raptor monsters, and DARK Rebel is not included, so it cannot be used as material for this card.

There is another way to solve this problem: use the cards in your hand that can be rewritten as nullification cards, draw the upgrade spell "Phantom Knights' Assault", then upgrade the Knight to Dark Soul and kill the opponent with one punch.

The result is the same, but it's a bit too formulaic.

I like the first solution; you could say this duel was set up for this particular outcome.

It was also designed to launch a surprise attack on the Raptor-Winged Rebel Falcon.

To be honest, this duel was prepared for a long time. The cards that appeared had to be ones that the protagonist had, and they had to be included in a deck while avoiding various self-restraints.

I've tried dozens of decks, though of course, there's also the possibility that I made a mistake and had to start over.
