Is this the world of card dealers? Yada thieves!

“Sorewadoka?” “Gana Malden” deliberately mimicked John’s previous tone and returned the sarcastic remark to John. “In the end, all you rely on is the unlimited use effect of [Rainbow Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins]. The entire lineup on the field revolves around this one card.”

"While it can certainly be powerful in certain situations, even I am disgusted by your cards." Showing the cards in his hand, "Gana Malden's" Duel Disk began to transform, opening up an area resembling a field. "However, Field Spell Cards are something that are both difficult to deal with and easy to deal with."

"Masaka!?" Realizing the other party's intentions, Judai suddenly turned to look at John, "Oh no, John!"

"I activate the Spell Card I just retrieved, the Field Spell Card 'Magical God Realm'! At the same time, your Field 'Rainbow Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins' will be set to face-down and sent to your Graveyard due to the appearance of this new Field Spell Card. You will also be unable to chain the activation of my Field Spell Card to activate the effects of Field Spell Cards that have already left the field!"

Named after the 35th Demon God among the 72 Demon Gods of Solomon, the monster 【Magic God Maxia】 has a search effect that provides "Gana Malden" with a Field Spell Card to break through the predicament in one blow, instantly removing John's restrictions on activating his Spell & Trap Cards, allowing him to freely use Spell & Trap Cards to assist in his combo!

"Finally, the restrictions are lifted. Very good. Well then, with the warm-up over, let's use the effect of [Magical God's Ladder] itself to announce the official start of my play." With an attitude of "I wasn't serious at all just now," Gana Malden took out a card from his deck. "As part of the effect processing when the Field Spell Card [Magical God's Ladder] is activated, I can send one [Magical God] monster from my deck to the Graveyard. I've chosen this [Magical God - Kusano].

"Then, if I have a [Magical God] monster on my field, I send this [Magical God - Grimonro] from my hand to the Graveyard to activate this effect. I add one [Magical God] monster other than [Magical God - Grimonro] from my Deck to my hand. I choose [Magical God - Krus].

"Next, the second effect of the Field Spell Card [Magical God Realm Stairway] is activated. Target one [Magical God] in my Graveyard, discard the two cards in my hand, and add the targeted monster to my hand." With both cards in hand discarded, "Gana Malden" retrieves the cards from the Graveyard. "I add [Magical God - Grimonro] back to my hand."

"At the same time, the effect of [Magical God - Krus] is activated. If this card is discarded from the hand to the Graveyard, target one [Magical God] monster with a Level of 4 or lower in my Graveyard and Special Summon it."

After a pause, another card sent to the graveyard by "Gana Malden" activated its effect: "And this [Magical Beast - Gannash], when discarded from hand to graveyard, increases this card's ATK by 200 and Special Summon it to the field. As a cost, if this card leaves the field, it is banished."

"C1 [Magical God - Krus] C2 [Magical Divine Beast - Gannash], I Special Summon [Magical Divine Beast - Gannash] in Defense Position and Special Summon Level 1 [Magical God - Lurie] using the effect of [Magical God - Krus]!"

It seems like she's trading two cards for one card in her hand, which is a bad deal. But the problem is that some of Gana Malden's [Magic Bomb] monsters are monsters that take effect when discarded from the hand to the graveyard. This makes her cards feel like she's actually trading two cards for three, which is a good trade.

As "Gana Malden" played two monster cards, John also drew two more cards from his deck, saying, "Well then, I'll draw again. It's a pity I don't have a card like the legendary [Exodia]. Otherwise, I might have drawn a few more and won directly."

John now has a full seven cards in his hand, replenishing his hand faster than [Heavenly Treasure], which shows how terrifying the effect of [Multiplying G] really is.

Meanwhile, "Marten" didn't seem to care about John drawing more and more cards. He showed off the cards in his hand and said, "The effect of this [Magic Beast - Grimmro] that I recycled doesn't have a one-time limit per turn. I send it to the graveyard again to activate its effect and add this [Magic Beast - Avank] from my deck to my hand."

"Afterwards, if I activate the effect of 'Magical God - Kusano' which was sent to the Graveyard by the Field Spell Card 'Magical God Realm Stairs', and this card is in my Graveyard, I can discard one 'Magical God' monster other than 'Magical God - Kusano' from my hand to the Graveyard to activate this effect, and add this card to my hand."

"I discarded this only [Magical Beast - Avank], and after recovering [Magical God - Kusano], I activated the effect of [Magical Beast - Avank] in my Graveyard. If this card is in the Graveyard, I discard one [Magical God] monster from my hand and Special Summon it. If the [Magical Beast - Avank] Special Summoned by this effect leaves the Graveyard, it is banished."

After the cards were changed, "Gana Malden" was able to Special Summon another monster on the field without using a Normal Summon. While increasing John's hand to eight cards, she also finally cleared her own hand.

This situation caught Jaden's attention, especially when he discovered that "Gana Malden" had once again assembled a combination of Tuner and non-Tuner monsters capable of Synchro Summoning Level 5 monsters.

"It's happening again!?"

"I continue with my Synchro Summon! Send my Level 2 Tuner monster [Magical Beast Avank] and Level 3 Non-Tuner monster [Magical Beast Gannash] from the Graveyard as Synchro Materials. Both monsters will be banished the moment they leave the field. The Synchro Material requirement is: one or more [Magical Beast] Tuner monsters plus one or more non-Tuner monsters!"

"Ghana Malden" grinned maliciously, "My hand has zero cards, so descend once more, Second Body [Demon God - Legion]!"

"And this card's effect also doesn't have a one-time limit per turn, so I draw cards again until I have two cards in my hand!"

【约翰·安德森：4000LP，手牌5→7→8→9】

【“加纳·马尔登”：4000LP，手牌3→2→2→1→1→1→0→2】

With each successive action, "Gana Malden" had more and more monsters on her field, and at the same time, the number of monster cards in her graveyard also increased, as a large number of monsters were piled into her graveyard due to the characteristics of "Magic Bomb God".

"What a pity, I didn't draw more [Magic God] monster cards to help with the opening moves this time." Gana Malden looked at the two cards in his hand with some dissatisfaction. "But luckily, I actually drew a magic card, and I only drew a magic card now that you left [Rainbow Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins], John Anderson."

"【Angel's Charity】, draw three cards from my deck, then choose two cards to discard. The 【Magic God】 monster discarded by this effect can trigger its effect, and luckily—I actually drew a new 【Magic God】 monster." Revealing the two cards to be discarded, "Gana Malden" sends them to the Graveyard.

"The second [Gannash the Beast of Destruction]! I don't need to explain the effect of this card again, right? I Special Summon it to my field!"

【Gannash, the Divine Beast of Destruction】【DEF1000】

However, this time, although "Gana Malden" discarded two [Magic Beast God] cards, only one [Magic Beast God Beast - Ganash] activated its effect. The other card remained silent—or perhaps it wasn't time for it to take effect yet?

John now held a full ten cards, a rather thick stack since his deck was capped at sixty. But holding the cards in his hand, he felt a sense of unease: "Could it be...?"

"It's the 'could it be' you're thinking of!"

"I'll set two cards face-down on my backrow first, and then perform a Synchro Summon!" Picking up the two cards on the field, "Gana Malden" grinned maliciously, "The Level 2☆ Tuner monster [Magical Beast - Cerberus] and the Level 3☆ Non-Tuner monster [Magical Beast - Ganash]... The third entity [Magical God - Legion] descends!"

"And by using its effect again, I will draw cards from my deck until I have two cards in my hand!"

Location: [Stairway to the God Realm]

Seeing the three [Magical God-Region] cards lined up on the field like clones of gangsters, striking the same poses and making the same expressions, John and Jaden felt like they weren't watching monsters—the three [Magical God-Region] cards combined had already allowed "Gana Malden" to draw six cards from his hand, endlessly gaining card advantage!

This isn't some kind of monster; it's clearly just a bunch of random "treasure tokens that fell from the sky"!

"This is [Demon God]'s 'Region Triple Rush'!" Ghana Malden said with a smile, holding two cards in his hand. "Now, my real offensive is about to begin!"

Chapter 1811 John: There's a cow! Ubel: You were the cow first!

"First, I activate the effect of [Magic God - Kusano] in my graveyard again, discarding one other [Magic God] monster from my hand and adding it to my hand. I choose [Magic God - Solgius]."

Discarding a card and exchanging it for a monster card in the graveyard, "Gana Malden" then discarded another card from his hand. "Then came the effect of [Magical God - Miztoshi] - send this card from my hand to the graveyard, select one face-up [Magical God] monster on my field and activate it. While the selected monster is face-up on the field, treat it as a Tuner monster."

"I will use one of my [Magical God - Legion] monsters as a Tuner monster, and then send two Level 5 [Magical God - Legion] monsters as Synchro Material to the Graveyard. The material requirement is one or more [Magical God] Tuner monsters plus one or more non-Tuner monsters!"

"The Demon God descends! Rule the demons with absolute kingship and tyranny!"

"Summoning Synchro, Level 5☆ + 5☆ = 10☆!"

"The self-destructive Demon King of Envy—[Demon God Leviathan]!"

【Demon God - Leviathan】【10☆/Light】

[Demon Race/Synchronization/Effect]

[3000/2000]

A demon that looked like a little old man modified one of the [Demon God-Region] on the field of "Gana Malden". Then the two [Demon God-Region] synchronized, summoning a demon with an overly bright red main color, which sat high on the Skull Throne.

What's special is its name, "Leviathan," which is an overly famous legendary behemoth. However, it was later rewritten by the well-known religion to represent "envy," one of the seven deadly sins. This is probably why it appears as a humanoid "Demon God" rather than a monster-like "Demon Beast."

And the symbol of "jealousy" is quite fitting for its user—

"Heh heh, see that, Jaden? Thanks to you for helping me obtain the power of Synchro from Amon Garam, I can now independently Synchro Summon Synchro Monsters!" Gana Malden proudly placed down the card [Magical God Leviathan], saying, "Although I can't achieve the 'Accelerated Synchro' summon unique to the original version with its special particles left behind by Hayato Kobayashi, it's enough to demonstrate the power of the 'Light of Evolution'!"

"Put down your card and come back to me. You are the one I love deeply, and I promise to love you forever. Wouldn't it be better if we went to a world where no one would bother us? I'm willing to share the power to evolve the card with you. Wouldn't that be a better outcome for you?"

Seeing "Gana Malden" with a shy expression, Jaden felt a chill: "Nonsense, I can't understand it. Besides, I'm not the kind of person who pursues power to the point of obsession. For me, it's enough to be able to duel happily with everyone."

"Is that so? But have you thought about it, Jaden? Do you care about being with everyone, or about having fun in the duel? Or is it that all you care about is the duel itself? If you can't distinguish between these things, you might find yourself on a path of no return."

As he spoke, "Gana Malden" flipped over another card in the back row: "One of the two cards I set is the Continuous Spell Card [Resurrection of the Divine Realm]. Because it is a Continuous Spell Card, it can be activated immediately during the turn it is set."

Behind "Gana Malden", an ancient door rose up and was then suddenly pushed open, releasing a chill that swept across the entire field, almost freezing the ground completely. Fortunately, John had [Thunder Emperor - Hamon] on the field, which was freezing itself in a "refrigerator" state and shielded John and Jaden from most of the freezing air.

"As an effect that is activated, [Resurrection of the Demon God Realm] can set one [Demon God] Spell/Trap Card other than [Resurrection of the Demon God Realm] to my field, but that's not the point. The point is that I want to use its other effect."

First, he retrieved a card and randomly set it to the back field. "Gana Malden" said, "Once per turn, I can discard one 'Magical God' card from my hand and choose one of the two effects of 'Magical God Realm Resurrection' to activate. Here, I choose to draw a card from my deck."

Sending the [Magical Beast - Kushano] card from his hand, which can activate its effect when not discarded, to the graveyard, "Gana Malden" draws a card and says happily, "Looks like my opening is going quite smoothly, because the card I drew is the second [Magical Beast - Kashi] in my deck. You haven't forgotten its effect, have you?"

"After all, it's the monster that destroyed my [Ultimate Jewel God - Rainbow Bridge Dragon], how could I forget its effect?" John looked at the card the other party directly showed with a serious expression. "Then I guess you were going to use the effect of [Magic God - Kusano] in your graveyard to discard it in order to recycle yourself, and then trigger its effect?"

"What kind of monster are we going to destroy this time? [Thunder Emperor - Hamon]?"

Upon hearing John's words, "Gana Malden" calmly explained: "【Mahoushin-Kusano】is actually an outlier among 【Mahoushin】, as can be seen from its white angel wings, which are rare among other 【Mahoushin】 monsters. Its name comes from a combination of the Sanskrit word 'repentance' and 'Kushana'."

"I'll say it again, Tenth Generation—don't you remember anything from the past? Have you ever repented for what you did? And what do you want to say to me?"

Upon hearing the other party's words, Jaden replied without hesitation, "I don't remember doing anything wrong to you, let alone repenting. The only thing I want to say to you is that I will definitely defeat you!"

"...What a cold-blooded and cruel person you are. You are generous in sharing your tenderness with others unconditionally, yet you refuse to show me even a little 'love'—but indeed, this special treatment is the true manifestation of your 'love' for me, isn't it? In response, I will also bestow the same 'love' upon you, Judai!"

Provoked by Jaden's words, "Gana Malden's" expression twisted and became ferocious in an instant, and naturally, she vented her resentment on the third person in this duel besides herself and Jaden—"John Anderson! Use your pain to make Jaden understand my love for him!"

“Listen to what you’re saying, does it make any sense?” John couldn’t help but complain. “But anyway, bring it on! [Thunder Emperor Hamon] and I are not afraid of being destroyed!”

The self-frozen [Thunder Emperor - Hamon] tried to protest, saying, "So it wasn't you who was destroyed? Does being a distant relative mean you're not a relative?"

But after retrieving [Magical God - Kusano] from the graveyard and discarding [Magical Divine Beast - Kashi], "Gana Malden" sneered, "Don't be too self-aware. I never said I was going to destroy your monster."

"The pain of destruction is too fleeting, existing only for a moment before vanishing. It is not enough to leave a lasting impression, nor enough to represent all the 'love' I have experienced in Jaden. Therefore, what I will destroy is not your monster, but the [Demon God - Leviathan] on my field!"

"The effect of [Magical Beast - Kashi] destroys [Magical God - Leviathan], but at this moment, the power of the absolute god who rules over [Magical God]—[Magical God - Leviathan]—will be truly released!"

The [Magic God - Kusano] retrieved from the graveyard activated the effect of [Magic Beast - Kashi], but instead of attacking any cards on John's field, it destroyed the newly summoned [Magic God - Leviathan], which had 3000 ATK. However, this very action caused [Magic God - Leviathan] to suddenly reveal its true form—a colossal beast beneath its humanoid exterior—the whale-like creature violently ripped up the frozen ground, forcefully smashing open the path to the graveyard!?

"At the moment of destruction, [Magical God Leviathan] can use its body to smash open the graveyard, allowing me to add up to three [Magical God] monsters from the graveyard to my hand." Retrieving three cards from the graveyard, "Gana Malden" said, "I add [Magical Divine Beast Behemoth], [Magical God Krus], and [Magical God Grimonro] to my hand!"

Having replenished his hand, "Gana Malden" continued his maneuver: "[Magical God - Grimonro]'s effect: Discard it, search for another [Magical God] monster from my deck - add this [Magical God - Otero] to my hand."

"Next is this [Demon God - Solgius]. If this card is in the Graveyard, send two other cards to the Graveyard to activate this effect. Special Summon [Demon God - Solgius] to my field. I send [Demon God - Kusano] and [Demon Beast - Behemoth] to the Graveyard."

"Then use the effect of [Magic God - Kusano] in the graveyard, discard [Magic God - Krus], and add it to my hand."

"At that very moment, the effect of the discarded [Magical God - Krus] activates, I Special Summon a Level 4 or lower [Magical God] monster from my Graveyard, and I Special Summon [Magical God - Gamage] as a Synchro Tuner monster!"

"At the same time, because I have a card discarded from my hand to the Graveyard, I banish [Magical Beast - Behemoth] from the Graveyard to activate this effect. I Special Summon a [Magical Beast] monster from my hand, and I Special Summon [Magical Beast - Otero]!"
