Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1615 The Descending God
"When the King and Queen Knight are on the field together, Special Summon 'Guard Knight' from your Deck!"

The last knight, a blond-haired knight with an upright expression, leaped out, his silver armor gleaming, and he held a shining longsword in his hand.

[Guard Knight, Attack Power 1900]

According to the actual cards, when Queen Knight is on the field, the effect of Special Summoning Guards from the Deck can only be activated when "King Knight" is Normal Summoned.

However, Atem activated this ability more than once when he summoned the King in the anime. Therefore, although the King Knight's effect in the anime is described as "activated when summoned", it probably satisfies this condition for any form of summon, such as summon, special summon, or flip summon.

Thus, the King, Queen, and Guards—the Three Knights—were all gathered on the game field. In the original work, this group was known as the "Three Musketeers of the Summoning Gods," a fixed trio that Atem used specifically to gather the offerings for summoning the phantom gods.

From a practical card perspective, this trio only saves one Normal Summon attempt and isn't particularly efficient for collecting tributes for the three Egyptian God cards. However, this trio has been strengthened in later versions, with Konami releasing a new deck themed around the JQK playing card trio and intentionally linking them to the Egyptian God cards.

The upgraded deck can not only quickly, efficiently, and reliably assemble the three tribute cards, but also has the ability to search and summon mythical creatures, making it much easier to summon mythical creatures that were originally difficult to summon and cumbersome.

If the physical versions of the three Egyptian God cards hadn't been so severely nerfed, and even if they were summoned, they would still be three useless cards, the JQK Egyptian God cards might actually have been able to put up a fight.

"Oh? You've gathered them all so quickly, the Three Musketeers of the Summoning God."

Anubis sneered.

"Let me guess, Nameless Pharaoh. Your most loyal servant, the Card of the Illusion God, is already in your hands, isn't it?"

Dark Game didn't speak, but only eyed him warily.

“I’m looking forward to it,” Anubis said calmly, then played another card. “Face one card, turn over.”

"My turn, draw!" Yami Yugi said. "Activate the Spell Card 'Pot of Greed' and draw two cards from my deck!"

In the era of DM, it was an essential item for everyone, whether in real-world competitions or anime environments. The all-purpose Pot of Greed appeared on the field with its green, sly head, and Yami Yugi drew two cards.

In fact, Anubis's guess was correct; Yami Yugi had indeed drawn the Phantom God at this time.

He glanced down at his hand, his gaze landing on the "Sky Dragon of Osiris" card.

If he were following his usual routine, having already collected all the tributes, he should be summoning the Sky Dragon by now. Gods are invincible, or rather, almost invincible. Although Yami Yugi always advocates that "there is no card that a duelist cannot defeat," even he has to admit that summoning a phantom god can give him a huge advantage.

But what's with that calm attitude of the other party?

It seemed as if the opponent had guessed that he had a phantom god in his possession and had gathered all the offerings on the field, yet he acted as if he didn't care at all about the god's descent, giving off a sense of confidence and fearlessness.

Dark Game hesitated for a few seconds, but quickly dismissed the extraneous thoughts.

Don't let your opponent distract you and disrupt your rhythm. The Phantom God is your strongest trump card; once summoned, victory is almost guaranteed.

"I offer the 'Queen Knight,' the 'King Knight,' and the 'Guard Knight' as sacrifices!" Yami Yugi shouted. "Offer three monsters as sacrifices! Show yourselves!"
Piercing between the underworld and reality, revive amidst the chaos of heavenly thunder—

"—Osiris, the Sky Dragon, God of the Underworld!"

The sky changed color in an instant, and lightning seemed to pierce through Darz's palace. Lightning carrying the body of a crimson dragon descended, blasting a charred black hole in the ground.

A long, winding, red dragon body, its head with two mouths, one lower and one upper. Golden lightning crackled in the lower mouth, while the upper mouth spewed azure lightning; even its roar seemed to contain an electric current. The Judge of Hell, the Sky Dragon of Osiris, the God of Illusions!

Anubis looked up at the churning dragon, facing its divine might, yet his eyes showed no fear, but rather a hint of excitement.

“So it has finally appeared, the Phantom God!” Anubis exclaimed.

But this only made Yami Yugi feel even stranger.

This guy is indeed completely unafraid of the Illusion God's pressure.
However, he continued, "Osiris's attack power is determined by the number of cards in the duelist's hand. I currently have three cards in my hand, therefore Osiris's Sky Dragon attack power is three thousand!"

[Osiris's Sky Dragon, Attack Power 3000]

"Fight!" Yami Yugi shouted. "Osiris, attack 'Tawa Curved Blade Demon - Master Swordsmanship'!"
Superconducting wave - lightning cannon!

Osiris's lower mouth opened, and a beam of golden lightning, like a cannon, pierced through the body of the Tawa scimitar demon, blasting it into pieces in a single blow.

[Anubis, LP4000 → LP3400]

“The round is over,” Yami Yugi said.

At the same time, he frowned again. This person was impacted by the true damage from the Illusion God, although it was only 600 points, he remained expressionless as if he felt no pain at all.
They are indeed no ordinary opponent.

But Yami Yugi still couldn't understand where the opponent got such confidence in facing the Phantom God.

"My turn, draw a card."

Anubis drew a card, then calmly played another spell from his hand.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Forced Summon'!" Anubis exclaimed. "This card forces your opponent to select one monster on their field and then Special Summon as many monsters of the same Type as that monster from their Deck as possible!" (Anime Card)
Yami Yugi was even more surprised and suspicious upon seeing this card.

I want to Special Summon as many cards as possible to my field, but the only card I have on my field right now is Osiris, which is a Mythical Beast-Type card.

This guy is not only unafraid of the Phantom God, but he actually hopes to summon more gods to appear?
"What's wrong, nameless Pharaoh? What are you afraid of?" Anubis roared. "Come on, show us your gods!"

After a moment of contemplation, An Yuqi said, "Although I don't know what you're doing, you'll regret your arrogance."

As he spoke, a golden light and a blue light shot out from the deck, soaring high into the air and transforming into two physical forms in the dazzling light.

The towering blue giant's head seemed to touch the clouds, and his muscles were brimming with almost explosive power.

The golden sphere, like the sun, radiated a sacred and fiery glow. It gradually unfolded its wings and transformed into a bird, becoming a giant, burning golden bird that blotted out the sky.

Ra, the Winged Dragon of Ra, the Titan of Obelisk, summon!

The three Egyptian Gods have descended!
