This trainer has no moral principles

Malik held a thousand-year-old tin staff engraved with eye patterns, and with the help of the power of the artifact, he condensed it into a spiritual protective wall.

The two divine powers collided with each other, and the entire Atlantis was shaking violently. The spiritual wall was shattered. Malik groaned and seemed to be slightly injured, but he successfully blocked the opponent's angry attack.

As a result of this delay, You Zhi and Yuan Ying had already jumped onto the back of the Divine Flame Emperor. Malik had no intention of staying to fight any longer. He left with a smug laugh of a small victory and quickly left with the three of them.

The protective wall of Atlantis was vulnerable in front of the Divine Flame Emperor and was easily broken. At the same time, the Divine Flame Emperor released a special aura, which enveloped the four people, allowing them to ignore the penetration and water pressure of the sea water and quickly fly out of the sea.

Yuan Ying quickly checked her father's condition and found that he was just unconscious. Apart from a thin scratch on his face, he had no other injuries. She was completely relieved - after all, You Zhi was not a professional fantasy master and could not achieve the pinnacle of precision. Not cutting his face open was already an exceptional performance.

"Thanks for the help."

Yuan Ying did not forget to express her gratitude to Malik.

"The riot in Goldman Sachs was your doing, Mr. Malik."

You Zhi's words startled Yuan Ying so much that she quickly took a defensive stance.

Malik didn't deny it. He just smiled faintly and asked, "I'm also curious about one thing. How could an ordinary member, who was originally unremarkable, suddenly come back to life after his heart stopped beating? Not only did his personality change drastically, but he also displayed talents far beyond ordinary people. What secrets are hidden here?"

You Zhi pretended to think for a moment and said, "Maybe it's related to the cause of death. How about we seriously explore the truth?"

The two looked at each other, laughed, and tacitly ignored the matter.

Ignoring Yuan Ying's wary gaze, Malik spoke to himself, "The man who controlled your father was called Dazi. According to my research, he was the last emperor of the Atlantis Empire ten thousand years ago. During his reign, Atlantis civilization reached its peak and became the world's capital. Its productivity was extremely high, and its people had no worries about food and clothing.

Until one day, a meteorite suddenly fell. This meteorite possessed mysterious power and was named Orichalcum. Later, the people of Atlantis used the power of Orichalcum to fulfill their desires, making the entire country corrupt and full of sin. So Daz decided to destroy the Atlantis civilization with his own hands, use all the people as sacrifices to summon the god Orichalcum, and then create a new world.

This move was opposed by his father Einhart, which led to the irreconcilable relationship between father and son. Einhart was defeated by Dazhi who mastered the power of Orichalcum, and escaped to the elf world through the singularity. Finally, with the help of the elves and the nameless dragon, he defeated Dazhi and sealed him.

Ten thousand years later, after the seal was lifted, Dazi still did not repent and insisted on destroying the old world to create a new one. However, he learned from the lesson of ten thousand years ago and did not rush into action. Instead, he founded the Doma Group and then gathered intelligence everywhere. He found the three mythical gods sleeping in the Hoenn region, ignored the successor ceremony, and forcibly subdued them with the power of Orichalcum.

At the end of his speech, Malik gnashed his teeth and was filled with resentment. It seemed that his anger towards Dazhi for breaking the rules and subduing the three mythical gods was greater than the other party's attempt to destroy the world.

In fact it is.

As a member of the tomb-keeping clan, Malik did not forbid others from taming the three mythical gods, but the prerequisite was that it had to be done according to the established rituals. Dazhi's actions were a complete insult to the mission of their tomb-keeping clan.

For this reason, he went to the door to ask for an explanation, but was severely punished. Even his sworn brother Lishid was implicated and brainwashed to become the other party's subordinate.

"The Three Phantom Demons are the power I specifically sought to combat the Three Phantom Gods, but powerful Pokémon alone aren't enough. We need a Trainer who can fully unleash their power," Malik said, extending his hand toward Yuzhi. "Whether for justice or to protect our family and friends, I hope you can help me defeat Dazhi."

(Zhaizhu: Neither the animation nor the comics say that the three mythical gods are not affected by the effects of monsters below 10 stars. They only say that gods are not affected by weak monsters. So what are considered weak monsters? In the original work, the Giant God Soldier cannot be exempted from summoning thunder bombs. In the comics, it was sent to the grave by the effect of the three evil gods. So some people interpret it as not being affected by the effects of monsters below 10 stars. After all, there were not many 10-star monsters in the early days, which is indeed in line with the status of gods. But in the current Yu-Gi-Oh, even a penguin is a 10-star monster, and the status is gone. Therefore, this article adopts another interpretation, which is not affected by the effects of monsters other than gods.

PS: I often see people questioning the three mythical gods' trap resistance by citing the hexagram's effect on gods. However, in the original manga, the hexagram is actually a magic card with a one-turn effect. It's even worse to question the game's "Humbug Trap Card"'s effect on grids.)

Chapter 213: Phantom God

The grave-keepers in this world do not have the tradition of carving on their backs. Their mission is to guard the summoning ceremony of the three mythical gods, similar to the Meteor People in the Origin Gems arc.

Without the opportunity to turn evil, Malik naturally wouldn't have any dark personality. Moreover, as the designated heir of a family with thousands of years of heritage, it would be an insult to him to describe him as being born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

He is wealthy enough to rival a country, has countless influence and followers, knows countless historical secrets, and the land under his name is measured in square kilometers. Therefore, he has no resentment towards his family's mission, but is proud of it. At most, he has resentment towards some of the bad rules left by his ancestors, such as having to hide behind the scenes, not being allowed to be famous, and having to sleep only in a cave.

Of course, this guy is definitely not a good person.

The Gurus Group is a gang organization, and a traditional gang at that. It is not the same as illegal scientific research organizations like the Rockets.

Malik even directly controlled Youzhi's original body to have a dark duel with the champion. After he failed and died, he arranged for his men to find a place to bury him, as if he did not regard his men's lives as human lives.

He did not sacrifice human lives in the demon-summoning ritual in Manjin City, but chose a more gentle approach, simply because he did not want to attract the attention of the Elf Alliance.

However, Youzhi did not feel any resentment in the original owner's memory, because Gulus gave the money to buy his life according to the rules, and the original owner voluntarily accepted it and chose to take a gamble, but he lost the bet.

If you are in the underworld, you will think that your life is worthless and you will have nothing to complain about if you are hacked to death on the street one day.

Anyway, You Zhi doesn't consider himself the world's policeman or a man of justice. As long as he doesn't get provoked, it doesn't matter to him whether the other party is a good person or a bad person. He is only interested in ongoing conspiracies, not completed criminal histories.

Yuan Ying is a righteous person, but the other person just helped save her father. Even if he has other purposes, she has to acknowledge the favor and can only be on guard at this moment.

"Strange, the three mythical gods correspond to the three gods of Hoenn, so wouldn't the Winged Dragon be Rayquaza? But doesn't he correspond to Ho-Oh?

Youzhi didn't care about Dazhi's past. After all, it was not much different from the settings he knew, so his focus was rather strange.

"Rayquaza and Ho-Oh, what kind of Pokémon are those?"

Malik and Yuan Ying both had puzzled expressions.

"...Okay, just pretend I didn't say it."

You Zhi immediately realized that mistaking Shenron for Ho-Oh was just his wishful thinking, or rather, there was no basis to prove that Ho-Oh and Rayquaza were not the same Pokémon.

Just like he regarded Bing Shui Ti as a replacement for the Sea God Lugia, the people in this world did not have such a view. They recognized the Three Mythical Gods and the Three Celestial Knights, but did not recognize Phoenix-Oh and Lugia.

In a sense, the three mythical gods and the three gods of Hoenn are also quite compatible. For example, Sky Dragon and Winged Dragon can fly, but the Titan cannot fly...

And then some things would make sense.

For example, the reason why the three Heavenly Knights awakened was not because of Youzhi and Elisa's destiny, but because the Pterosaur was captured and the knights wanted to save their lord.

You Zhi also noticed that the Heavenly Golden Knight and Malik had eye contact, and it was obvious that they knew each other.

This would explain why the Heavenly Golden Knight, knowing that a disaster was about to happen in Manjin City, did not explicitly inform You Zhi, nor did he intervene to stop it, but instead treated it as a test.

Because she knew that this summoning ritual would not kill anyone, and the ritual itself was meant to rescue the three mythical gods, she had no position to stop it. Instead, she had to cooperate in selecting trainers who were qualified to subdue the phantoms.

"Wait a minute, let's not talk about the fact that this guy named Dazi has been sealed for ten thousand years. You said that your clan of grave keepers have been guarding the summoning ceremony of the three mythical gods for thousands of years, but didn't the elves only appear two hundred years ago?" Yuan Ying questioned.

"What's written in the book must be correct?" Malik asked calmly, with an attitude that clearly showed off his knowledge.

"I don't think there's any need to tamper with this kind of thing, and it's also difficult to tamper with it," Yuan Ying insisted.

"Elves have appeared in our world since a long time ago, though in small numbers. It's only in recent times, due to the fusion with the elven world, that they've appeared on a large scale. If you're from an aristocratic family, you might want to look up your family history. You should be able to find quite a few records of elves. However, they weren't necessarily called elves in the past. They could be familiars, servants, gods, or even monsters..."

Yuan Ying seemed to be lost in thought, as if recalling those old books she had read before that were regarded as stories about gods and ghosts.

Having successfully completed his pretense, Malik waved his hand in satisfaction and looked at You Zhi with a sharp gaze: "Let's not talk about that for now. Did you finally get the Giant God's Pokémon Card?"

You Zhi nodded and took out the elf card. He saw that the surface of the card was wrapped with subtle sword energy, which sealed it tightly.

Malik couldn't help but take another look. This was not something an ordinary person could do. Even he had to rely on the thousand-year-old tin staff to exert his extraordinary power. He became more and more interested in the secrets of Youzhi.

Unfortunately, we still need to rely on the other party's help right now, and this is not the time to get to the bottom of it.

"Release the blockade and let me come."

You Zhi retracted his sword energy, and the Elf Card floated into the air and was about to fly away, but the thousand-year-old tin staff in Malik's hand immediately shot out light and fixed it in place.

"With just the remaining strength, do you still want to resist?"

As a dark divine power was activated, the power of Orichalcum attached to the Giant God Soldier was completely dispelled.

Malik was about to reach out to catch the fallen Pokémon card, but Youzhi intercepted it mid-flight: "I snatched this card back from the enemy. You are only the guardian of the Three Mythical Gods, not their master."

Malik's expression instantly turned hostile: "Don't forget, I gave you the Phantom Demon Emperor that day."

"Okay, I'll return the Phantom Demon Emperor to you when I get back."

It's so funny. Who needs the Phantom Demon Emperor when you have the Giant God Soldier?

The Celestial Ravage Fist can double the attack power, which is very powerful, but it is nothing compared to the infinity of the Colossus.

Malik suppressed his impatience and continued to persuade, "I am doing this out of kindness. Not just anyone can control God. You must go through a ritual to gain God's approval. Otherwise, even if your spiritual power reaches ten stars, it will still be the same..."

At this time, the Giant God's elf card emitted light, conveying a will to everyone present.

He was very angry about being forcibly controlled by someone, and was determined to take revenge on the person behind the scenes. He also recognized You Zhi, who helped him escape from the clutches of the devil, and was willing to obey orders in the matter of revenge.

In fact, You Zhi was not so blinded by greed that he forgot the setting of the God Card. There was also a field card called "Binding God Tomb" in his deck, which also had the effect of forcibly controlling the God.

Now that the Giant God Soldier is willing to cooperate actively, it is naturally better.

Malik had nothing to say now, but his eyes were full of resentment, but fortunately he still remembered the important matter.

"Let's discuss how to deal with Dazi, who possesses two phantom gods."

Chapter 214 Countermeasures

"Can't we report it to the Elf Alliance?"

Yuan Ying, a law-abiding citizen, suggested.

Malik said expressionlessly, "I've tried both anonymous and real-name reporting. The former died in a traffic accident three days after the report, and the latter died in a dark duel on the same day."

Yuan Ying choked upon hearing this, but still insisted, "There may be people in the Elf Alliance's upper echelons who are under Dazhi's mental control, but it's impossible for everyone to be controlled. We can seek help from the Elf Masters. They won't be defeated so easily by Dazhi."

As a gang leader, Malik naturally distrusted the Elf Alliance. "Even those who weren't under mind control weren't necessarily trustworthy. Take, for example, the former Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto. They launched the Utopia Project, which aimed to wipe out ordinary humans. Who can guarantee that they wouldn't become like-minded if they met Dazhi?"

In fact, it is impossible for the Four Heavenly Kings and Daz to get together, because the Utopia Project aims to create a world with only kind trainers and Pokémons, while Daz wants to destroy all humans and Pokémons, and the two sides cannot see eye to eye.

But You Zhi did not try to persuade him, as he knew it was useless.

He has a God's perspective, is familiar with the characters, and knows which characters are trustworthy and which characters need to be guarded against. However, from an insider's perspective, he only feels that he only knows the surface of a person but not his heart. Everyone looks suspicious. After all, the Elf Alliance has a lot of dark history.

Before Boss Sakaki's identity was exposed, he was the well-known leader of the Tokiwa Gym.

With this example in mind, do you dare to believe that other gym leaders are all good people?

Anyway, Malik didn't believe that there was only one bad apple in the pot of rice. In comparison, he trusted the vision of the Heavenly Golden Knight more.

"Oliha has the power to deceive people. He's not someone we can trust absolutely, so we can't let him participate in the operation. After all, we only need a handful of elites to deal with Dazhi. The rest will only hinder us."

Yuan Ying was dissatisfied with Malik's remarks, but since he was trying to save the world after all, she could only remain silent.

You Zhi said, "We have three Phantom Demons and a Giant God Soldier, while the other side only has two Phantom Gods. On paper, our combat power is equal, but it's the God of Orichalcum that deserves more attention."

"Among the three mythical gods, the Sun God's Winged Dragon holds the supreme position. Although the Giant God Soldier is powerful, it is definitely no match for the Winged Dragon. Even with the three mythical demons, it is not enough. My original plan was to rely on Duizi to delay time. Now that I have recovered a Giant God Soldier, I can try to confront it head-on."

As a die-hard fan of Pteranodon, Malik doesn't allow others to underestimate it: "The Phantom God has strong resistance to spell effects and elf characteristics, but there is room for breakthrough in the latter."

He refined a spell card and showed it to the two of them.

[Perpetual Trap: DNA Transplantation Surgery]

[Effect: When this card is activated, declare 1 attribute. While this card is on the field, all face-up monsters on the field change to the declared attribute.]

"Phantom Gods are not affected by the characteristics of spirits other than God attributes, but with this spell card, all summoned spirits can be changed to God attributes."

Yuan Ying hesitated and asked, "How can we obtain this card? Do you have a corresponding summoning word?"

Malik said, "No, but if you look closely, the Pokémon being transformed on the card is Thunder Boy, a common Pokémon. If you use it as a medium and try to summon it more often, it will be easy to obtain this DNA transplant."

You Zhi disagreed. "Actually, we don't need to worry too much about the Phantom God. Think about it carefully. The opponent is using Olihagang's Barrier Field Spell Card to control the Phantom God. So, all we need to do is prevent him from activating this card. Dealing with a spell card is much easier than dealing with the Phantom God. Furthermore, it's not difficult to surmise that the opponent's tactical system is definitely built around this card. Blocking this card will hinder their strategy, killing two birds with one stone."

"Prevent the barrier from activating..."

A word of advice woke Malik up from his dream, and he showed a thoughtful expression. He was too concerned about the three mythical gods, which limited his vision.

Yuan Ying thought for a moment and frowned, "This isn't easy. Oliha Gang's barrier itself has strong resistance, and it's impossible to stop it if it's activated first and then the Dark Duel like my father did."

"Although Olihagang's barrier is highly resistant, it's not without loopholes. As for the issue of activating the field first, we can completely force the opponent to fight a fair duel by initiating a dark duel first. I believe Mr. Malik has a way to solve this problem."

Although Dark Duel is cruel, it is a fair way of dueling. It has the same restrictions on both participants and does not give special treatment based on who is the initiator. For example, both sides can only summon an equal number of Pokémon. For example, the spell cards that have been refined will be eliminated, so the trainer cannot refine a large number of spell cards in advance before dueling.

However, it cannot change the terrain environment. Theoretically, one party can prepare a lot of traps first and then duel with others - the same loophole actually exists in regular duels, but there will be referees to prevent such behavior.

You Zhi's idea is to take advantage of this and start a dark duel before the opponent activates Orichalcum's barrier, so as to force the opponent to start refining from the beginning.

"Olihagang's barrier is very powerful. Even if it's not S-rank, it's at least A-rank. It will definitely take a lot of time to refine. We can take advantage of this opportunity to target it. For example, the True Silent Magician has a special ability that can negate the activation of instant spell cards once per turn."

Olihagang's barrier has resistance to being destroyed by effects, but that is after it is successfully activated. If it is not activated, it is just an ordinary spiritual power card, and it will disappear if it fails to be activated.

In addition, this world can only hold one spell card, and there is no situation where a trainer has multiple cards with the same name. Therefore, once Orichalcum's barrier fails to activate, it can only be recovered through other effects and cannot be refined into a second one.

"Now that you mention it, I have some ideas." Malik tapped the backs of their hands with the Millennium Staff, and an eye-shaped pattern immediately appeared. "As long as we use spiritual power to stimulate it, we can force a dark duel."

Yuan Ying did not reject this, but just observed it with curiosity.

"This is a relatively mild dark duel. The trainer will only feel pain when the Pokémon is defeated. But remember one thing, never let the Phantom God defeat your Pokémon, otherwise you will feel pain deep in your soul, which is not something a mortal can endure." Malik reminded kindly.

You Zhi didn't say anything, but silently used the strong and weak mimicry to quickly analyze the composition of the dark duel.

Chapter 215: The Boss is Generous

Malik took Youzhi and Yuanying to the nearest Manjin City. When they were about to enter the city, they changed the elves. After all, the Emperor of Divine Flame was too ostentatious. Although no one died in the demon summoning incident, more than half of the citizens had to stay in bed for a week to half a month, causing huge economic losses. The Elf Alliance also issued a bounty for his arrest.

They had contacted each other in advance, so after they arrived at a low-key and luxurious single-family villa, a professional medical team immediately took Yuan Ying's father, who was still in a coma, away for a more detailed examination.

Not long after resting, the sound of a helicopter was heard outside the house. A slim, black-haired woman with sharp eyes got off the helicopter. Her skin was dark, but very delicate. She wore an pupil-patterned pendant around her neck, gold wristbands on her hands, and a gold corset around her waist that made her waist look particularly slender. It was Malik's sister, Isis Ishdar.
