Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 1 The Duelist Who Traveled Across Time

"Liberate [Obelix's God Warrior] and [Osiris's Sky Dragon] on your field!
I will give you this powerful monster, hehehehehe!"

“ki sa ma!!!”

He watched as the three mythical gods he had summoned with such great gold diamonds were replaced by giant lava treasures before they could even warm up to the touch.

If it weren't for the screen, You Ling would have been unable to resist summoning his fist to attack.

"Hahahaha! Ki mo ji~ Ghost! How does it feel to see the three mythical gods you risked your life to bring with you being sacrificed?"

Even through the screen, You Ling could feel that her childhood friend must be making the same facial expressions as Malik at this moment.

"You, you actually brought this kind of card? What happened to the duel between real men in the mortal realm?"

"A duel in the mortal realm? Sorry, this is a 'dark game' where the loser must agree to a condition from the other party!

In order to win, of course I have to give up those useless things!

I only respect victory!"

"And what era is this? You're still carrying cards from the old era like the 'Three Mythical Gods'.

You old guard, the new era has no ships that can carry you, so get out!"

The cold words came through the microphone. Although You Ling spoke toughly, his heart was already cold.

[It's over. I was going to do some acrobatics, but now it's turned into a circus.]
Looking at the 800-year-old bluffing card in my backfield, then looking at the "Last Card" in my hand that perfectly matches the opponent's style, and the "unclear meaning" card I had in my hand from the beginning...

Hey~why don’t you just get a ticket and go back to Gotham.

[No! It's not the last moment yet. I still have health points. As long as I can make it through the next round, I will definitely be able to...]
You Ling shook his head and regained his confidence.

"Oh~ Don't forget, your deck might be depleted before your life value, which is like a candle in the wind~"

This seemingly perfectly timed speech made You Ling wonder whether the other party could hear his thoughts.

[This guy must have gone to Egypt and secretly replaced his eyes with golden ones!]
However, since the opponent mentioned the deck, You Ling took a sidelong glance.

"Well, isn't there one left...?!"

It’s over. Now it’s too late to even buy a ticket.

Next time, the death of the wandering spirit!
Duel standby!

"The turn is over. Enjoy your last turn! You↑Spirit↓"

"Neihei~~ What conditions should I propose then~"

As we all know, the closer Yu-Gi-Oh players get to victory, the lower their human strength becomes.

The voices on the other side gradually became distorted, as if they had already begun to imagine the wonderful settlement scene after victory.

……

Time passed by minute by minute, and You Ling seemed to have accepted his fate.

However, just when the other party was getting impatient, a passionate BGM suddenly sounded, followed by a famous line with full energy transmitted to the other side through the microphone.

"Soleiwadoka!"

"Oh my god! You scared me! You took all this time, didn't you just want to do this weird background music?"

You Ling simply ignored what the other party said and continued talking to himself.

"You just said the phrase 'a candle in the wind'!"

"Hmm? So what? This isn't an anime, there's no such thing as flash card draws."

Seeing You Ling like this, the other party also entered the duel state again.

“And with my health and backfield, there’s no way you can beat me in one round!
And if you wait until the end of the round, you will lose. That's right, just wait until the end of the round!"

“Thanks for your reminder. But don’t forget, I only have one card left in my deck!
In other words, I already know exactly what my next draw will be!"

"So what? You can't—"

"Nothing is impossible for a duelist! I'll win right now!"

"My turn! Draw a card!"

As if it was a destined draw, a golden light flashed, and You Ling looked at the card he drew.

“YA☆DA☆ZE!

I activate the card [Resurrection of the Dead]! Revive, [Obelix's Giant God]!

"Ah?! You've been covering up the [Resurrection of the Dead] for so long without lifting it?"

The opponent obviously didn't expect that he would be fooled by a normal magic for so long.

"Is this your first day playing cards with me?" "Yeah, that's definitely your style. But so what? Even if you revive all the monsters in your graveyard in one turn, you still can't kill me."

You Ling ignored the other party and continued telling the story.

"I then removed the [Resurrection of the Sky God] from the cemetery and collected the [Resurrection of the Dead] from the cemetery.

Then, similarly, revive [Osiris Sky Dragon]!
Then there's the card I just drew—[Millennium Revelation]—activate! Send the Pterosaur in your hand to the graveyard and retrieve [Resurrection of the Dead] again."

"Ma, Masaka!"

"That's right!
[Millennium Revelation] is activated again! Send it to the cemetery, and I will be able to use [Resurrection of the Dead] to resurrect the Sun God in the cemetery regardless of the conditions!
Rayo! Burn the enemies to ashes! Special Summon [Ra's Winged Dragon]!!!"

"?!"

"You, you're not going to summon that, are you?"

The person on the other side seemed to already know what You Ling was going to do, and there was a hint of panic in his tone.

"That's right!
When [Obelix's Giant God Soldier], [Osiris's Sky Dragon], and [Ra's Winged Dragon] are on the field at the same time, the puzzle pieces for victory are complete!"

The 'unclear meaning' card in his hand, which had been in his hand since the beginning of the duel, finally glowed slightly, as if responding to the duelist who was willing to summon him even if it meant getting stuck.

And You Ling responded to His expectations without hesitation.

He placed the feminine versions of the Three Phantom Gods figurines he had made on the table, and held the Millennium Brick model he had just assembled against his chest. After all, it was a rare opportunity to try out some fancy tricks, so You Ling felt a strong sense of ritual.

"Unify the three mythical gods in the name of the Pharaoh!
Come, [Creator God of Light—Herakti]!"

The Wandering Spirit shouted out the summoning word without feeling any shame, and immersed in excitement, he didn't notice that the "Eye of Ugato" in the center of the Millennium Brick on his chest was shining synchronously.

"Take this trick from me, clean the toilet—yeah!"

The excited voice came to an abrupt end, and You Ling himself and the three figurines on the table disappeared in the light, leaving only the fallen chair to the side, recording the fact that someone had just sat there.

The microphone icon on the screen continued to flash, but no one could reply.

"Hey! Holy shit, this light is too bright! Bro, why is your animation different?"

"Why isn't it working? Did you mess with the mod and cause the game to crash?"

"Hey, are you still there? I'll be the one to pull out the screws!"

"Brother, I'm an honest duelist. Even though the game is glitched, you still win this one."

"By the way, have you finished putting together the Millennium Building Blocks I sent you? They aren't the plastic stuff from Consortium B. I got them from a fellow enthusiast while I was traveling in Egypt.

It feels like it's made of some special material. If I hadn't had the instructions, I wouldn't have been able to put it together, and since it's your birthday, I wouldn't have let you get away with it."

"By the way, are you finished with that feminine version of the Three Phantom Gods? How's it turning out? Counting the days, your godfather's birthday is coming up soon.

cough!
You know I've been pushing the Dark Mage all the time, hehe~"

"brother?"

"Are you still there? It's not impossible to be a lava demon."

"ghost?"

"Old You?"

"..."

"... "

……

Deep in unknown space, a place that cannot be detected by any instrument.

The wandering spirit was swallowed up in a ball of light that was emitting light all over. It felt as if its soul was shattered and its personal consciousness began to blur.

Well, it wasn't just as if, You Ling's soul was indeed shattered into three pieces of similar size, and only the slightly larger one still barely retained the last bit of consciousness.

"Could it be that the 'Toilet Cleaner' move was aimed at me?

Tsk, it turns out these ancient Egyptian pharaohs are not to be joked about. 'Disrespect' will still be punished...

It’s all because of that guy who kept yelling “ghost, ghost”, and now he’s really going to turn into a ghost.”

Feeling his remaining consciousness gradually fading away, You Ling's soul slowly sank into darkness.

The pure white light gradually shrank, and then split into two red and blue light balls, enveloping the two souls.

The remaining light turned into sacred gold and flowed towards the largest soul fragment, then led the other two groups into the deeper unknown.
