Chapter 1855 Shopkeeper Huo Shuai Turtle, but Lava Demon God Version
[Grafa] summons "another self" back into the field and plays a card from his hand: "The Continuous Spell Card [Dark Realm Temple] is activated, and I use its effect directly."

"This effect can only be activated during my Main Phase. I discard one Dark Realm monster from my hand, and all Dark Realm monsters on my field gain ATK equal to the Level of the monster discarded by this effect by 100 until the end of this turn. The monster I discarded is still this Dark Realm Vanguard - Becky, which has a Level of 4☆, so all my Dark Realm monsters gain ATK by 400."

[Dark Soldier - Becky], who was constantly jumping between the graveyard, the field, and the hand, was almost overworked to death. Its power was taken by [Grafa], which increased the attack power of the two [Grafa] cards on the field.

【Dragon God of the Dark Realm - Grafa】【ATK3000→3400】

【Dragon King of the Dark Realm - Grafa】【ATK3500→3900】

Although it can only last for one turn, the power of [Dark World Dragon King - Grafa] is now approaching that of the legendary [Obelisk the Tormentor]. However, Grafa's main purpose is still to discard [Dark World] from the hand.

But this time, not only did [Dark World Vanguard - Becky] himself take effect, but the library on his field, which had just risen after the activation of the spell card and contained countless books, also released a special power.

"Because the effect of discarding a Dark Realm monster by the Dark Realm Temple will not only affect the Dark Realm Vanguard - Becky, the second effect of the Dark Realm Temple will also be triggered by me discarding a Fiend-Type monster card by the effect of the Dark Realm card."

【Grafa】 said, revealing a card in her hand, "This effect can only be activated if a monster whose original race was Fiend is discarded from my hand by the effect of 【Dark World】 or by an opponent's card effect. This effect can also be activated during the Damage Step. Discard one card from my hand, and then draw two cards from my Deck!"

"I discard this [Hermit of the Dark Realms - Pearl], then draw a card!"

"Next up is the special summoning of [Bege, the Vanguard of the Dark World]!"

Grafa's maneuver was equivalent to Special Summoning "Dark Realm Vanguard - Becky" by only consuming one "Dark Realm Literary Palace" card from his hand, while still maintaining a full six cards in his hand.

However, Jaden was able to draw cards because he made a Special Summon from the Graveyard again.

[Yujo Judai: 4000LP, Hand: 5→6]

Seeing that Jaden's hand size had increased to the same number as hers, [Grafa] was quite displeased, but then sneered: "Heh, if you like drawing cards so much, I'll let you draw one more."

"The effect of 'Hermit of the Dark World - Pearl,' which was just discarded under the effect of 'Hermit of the Dark World,' is activated! If this card is discarded from the hand to the Graveyard by an effect, you can target any 'Dark World' monster in my Graveyard other than 'Hermit of the Dark World - Pearl,' and I choose 'Mentor of the Dark World - Serulli.'"

Retrieve the card of the diminutive demon wizard in azure robes, and [Grapar] throws it out, "Special Summon that monster to either my or your opponent's field—here I choose to Special Summon it again to my opponent's field!"

[Mentor of the Dark World - Serulli] [ATK 100 → 400]

Although it was Special Summoned to the Xenogears field, the effect of [Dark Gate] benefits all Fiend-Type monsters on the field, including [Dark Mentor - Seruri], which was also Special Summoned to the Xenogears field. However, the stat bonuses are not all the same; the effect is what matters.

"Although it was Special Summoned to my field, I can still draw a card because it was Special Summoned by my opponent." Jaden said, taking another card from [Joyful Companion - Meow Meow Leopard Cat], increasing his hand to seven cards.

"It doesn't matter! Compared to that, the effect of my Special Summoned [Mentor of the Dark World - Seruri] is also not available once per turn! If it is successfully Special Summoned by the effect of a [Dark World] card, it will be forcibly activated, forcing the opponent to discard one card from their hand!"

[Grafa] watched Jaden draw a card, then casually discarded a card from his hand, saying, "The card I'm discarding this time is [Dark World Demon God - Kellert]!"

The Dark World Demon God - Kellert, who had been roaming around Manjoume and his group and launching sneak attacks from time to time, was forcibly summoned by Grafa after Grafa used his card, thus breaking his stealth.

Upon seeing this, [Gold, the God of War of the Dark Realm] couldn't help but question, "[Bron]... no, [Glarfa], he's the one who murdered Lord [Rain]! [Kellert], [Latina], why are you loyal to him!"

"We are never loyal to any individual. We are only loyal to the strong."

The golden demon received a cold reply from two level 6☆ monsters.

"That's right, strength is the truth of this world, and the strong dominating the weak is the underlying logic!" [Grafa] was very satisfied with his subordinate's answer. "Without power, I was just a small legion commander in a remote corner [The Mad King of the Dark Realm - Braum], but now I am the supreme [Dragon God King of the Dark Realm - Grafa], possessing unparalleled power and ruling over millions of people!"

"【Dark Realm Demon - Kelet】If discarded from hand to Graveyard by card effect, Special Summon this card to my field. If discarded by opponent's card effect, gain the ability to Special Summon another Fiend-Type monster from Deck to both players' fields!"

This time, instead of throwing out another "Mentor of the Dark World - Serulli" onto Jaden's field, "Grapar" took out a card from his deck, another high-ranking demon card that was following closely behind Jaden and his companions. "Come forth, 'Battle God of the Dark World - Radina'!"

【Kellert, the Demon God of the Dark World】【ATK2400→2700】【

[Yujo Judai: 4000LP, Hand: 7→8]

"Next, I will use the effect of [Dark Realm Demon King - Rein] in my Graveyard to return one [Dark Realm] monster with a Level 7 or lower on my field - [Dark Realm Demon God - Kelet] - to my hand and Special Summon it from my Graveyard."

The Dark Lord Raine, who was sent to the graveyard during the [Hand Elimination], returned to the [Grafah] field. Seeing their former leader of the [Dark World] now reduced to a puppet in the hands of [Grafah], both the Gold and Silver Demons wore expressions of furious rage, gritting their teeth.

Jaden's hand was replenished because [Dark Realm Demon God - Kellert] was Special Summoned from the Graveyard, but [Graphar] no longer cared, as he had already prepared everything he needed.

"Hmph, [Dark Realm Demon King - Renn], I did receive much help from you in the past, but I have now far surpassed you. For my glorious evolution, give me your power one last time!" [Dark Realm Dragon King - Grafa] shouted, playing a card from his hand, "Concentration, Ascension—I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card, [Dark Realm Ascension]!"

"This card is a Quick-Play Spell Card that can only be activated during the Main Phase of both players. Its effect is to banish the Fusion Material Monsters that are determined by a Fiend Fusion Monster from my field or Graveyard, and Special Summon that Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck."

After a pause, [Gerafa] revealed two more cards from his hand, "However, when a [Dark World] monster is fused to the field, I can also discard monster cards from my hand as fusion materials!"

"The fusion materials I used are: [Dragon God of the Dark Realm - Grafa], [Battle God of the Dark Realm - Latina], [Demon King of the Dark Realm - Renn], and [Pioneer of the Dark Realm - Becky] on my field; [Demon God of the Dark Realm - Kellert] and [Demon God of the Dark Realm - Renn] in my hand; and [Hunter of the Dark Realm - Brau] and [Hermit of the Dark Realm - Pearl] in my graveyard!"

"Terror, struggle, hatred, despair, murderous intent, anger, destruction, malice—eight forms of darkness have now merged into one! Graphite, platinum, iridescent, beige, transparent, brown, and pearl—seven colors have blended into a chaotic colorless void!"

"Ascension Fusion Summon, Level 12☆!"

[Grafa]'s figure was once again shrouded in mist, with many other colors swirling within the black mist, eventually turning colorless.

From human form to dragon-man, and then further evolved into a complete dragon, the current [Gerafa] has swallowed the power of a large number of [Dark Realm] monsters into her body in one go, and has instead transformed back into human form, hovering in the air in a blurry posture.

"The former king, now my sacrifice, this is my final form—[Chaos King of the Dark Realm - Kalles]!"

With arms outstretched, the Chaos King of the Dark Realm, Karles, who had transferred his main body from the Dragon God King of the Dark Realm, Grafa, laughed arrogantly: "Hmph, hehe, hahahahaha!"

【？ /？】

"A level 12 monster with attack and defense both being '?'?" Marufu Sho's eyes widened. "No, put that aside for now, the fusion summon just now used a full eight monsters as fusion materials!?"

"Hmph, because I—that is, [Chaos King of the Dark Realm - Kalles]—am the ultimate being who can use any demon monster as fusion material, except for the necessary [Demon God of the Dark Realm - Renn]!"

[Kalleres] raised his hand, and his stats surged under everyone's gaze. "The minimum is two demons, and the maximum is unlimited! Having used eight monsters as fusion materials, my attack and defense stats will become this number x 1000 points, which is a full 8000 points!"

【The Chaos King of the Dark Realm - Carles】【? /? →8000/8000→8300/8300】

"In addition, I, who am now on the field, also have a field effect, and the effect of [Dark Realm Demon God - Kellert], which was sent to the graveyard by [Ascension of the Dark Realm], is activated again to start a chain because it was discarded to the graveyard by an effect!"

"First, I Special Summon [Dark Realm Demon God - Kelet] by its own effect, and then deal with my effect after that—this can only be activated if [Dark Realm Chaos King - Kalles] is Fusion Summoned, destroying all cards on your opponent's field!"

A colorless wave was released from [Kalles]'s hand, instantly sweeping across Jaden's front and back rows. Although the area of ​​effect was large, since it was not Jaden's turn yet, the only thing that could be destroyed was [Dark World Mentor - Serulli], which [Kalles] had previously played on Jaden's field when he was still [Glarfa].

However, Jaden drew another card due to the special summon of [Dark World Demon God - Kellert].

[Carles] confidently placed the two cards in his hand face down on the backcourt and said, "With such power, what in the world can stop me? No one can, no one can defeat me!"

"I'll place two cards face down, and my turn is over. Now let me see how you'll defeat the invincible me with your paltry ten cards!"

Among the monsters on his field, even the one with the lowest attack power, [Dark Realm Demon God - Kellert], has a whopping 2700 attack power, making ordinary weak monsters pale in comparison;

【Dark World Dragon King - Grafa】, although the information has been completely leaked, it cannot change the fact that its effect is quite powerful. The opponent cannot use 【Lightning Strike】 to destroy their monster or use 【Pot of Greed】 to draw cards.

Needless to say, the Chaos King of the Dark Realm - Callales was something else entirely. He didn't believe that his opponent could even predict such an invincible effect as this card—targeting one face-up card on his field, activating at Speed ​​2 during both players' turns, discarding one card from his hand, and preventing his opponent from targeting that card with an effect for a whole turn!
My goodness! It has a noble resistance that doesn't target specific enemies, and combined with its 8000 attack power, it's practically invincible! How wonderful!

Just as [Chaos King of the Dark World - Carles] was extremely pleased with himself, Jaden's turn began.

"My turn, draw a card, huh?"

Looking at the card he had drawn and then at the [Kalleres] on the field, Jaden unhesitatingly played the card: "Well then, since you crave power so much that you'll stop at nothing, I'll give you some power in return—I bestow this powerful monster upon you!"

"Release [Chaos King of the Dark Realm - Kalles] and [Dragon God King of the Dark Realm - Grafa] from your opponent's field to Special Summon [Lava Demon]!"

The towering lava engulfed everything in [Karlales]'s sight. He could only feel his power gradually disappearing. When his vision returned, his invincible [Chaos King of the Dark Realm - Karlales] and [Dragon God King of the Dark Realm - Grafa] had vanished, replaced by a rather ugly-looking lava giant!

Merry Christmas!
