Yu-Gi-Oh!: Worldwide Mix, the Ultimate Necromancer Duel

"This kid not only has a spirit, but he also came up with this method?"

The masked man's expression instantly darkened.

I thought that with the mind-reading ability of the Millennium Eye, this duel was a sure thing, but I didn't expect that the opponent would directly use this method to break through my biggest advantage.

"very good!"

He sneered, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"But do you think you can defeat me without the ability to see a thousand years?"

"Too naive."

You Chen simply smiled.

"Who knows?"

He glanced down at his own field.

Under the instructions of the Great Sun Maiden, he just set three cards face down and also revealed a monster on the inside defense side.

To be honest, even he himself didn't know what those face-down cards were.

But he modified this deck, and it's very different from the previous infinite chain deck; it takes a completely different approach.

As for the specific effects...

He glanced at the Great Sun Maiden floating beside him. The girl was staring intently at the masked man opposite her, her small lips pursed tightly.

Forget it, I'll believe her.

"Round over."

You Chen withdrew his hand.

"It's your turn."

Without saying a word, the masked man drew a card.

"My turn—Draw a card!"

He glanced at the card he had drawn, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Then activate the Spell Card—[Bitter Choice]!"

He pinched the card between two fingers and flung it out.

"That's right, it's you who's suffering!"

You Chen raised an eyebrow.

Another bitter choice?

He couldn't help but marvel at how rare cards were practically free here, as expected of a battle royale game.

Five cards flew out of the masked man's deck and hovered in mid-air.

Just then, the Great Sun Woman suddenly spoke.

"Now! You Chen, reveal the second face-down card!"

You Chen's eyes lit up.

Without the slightest hesitation, he suddenly raised his hand.

"Wait!"

"This is the moment we've been waiting for!"

He pointed to the card that was covered in the backcourt.

"Open the face-down card—activate the Continuous Trap Card [Necromantic Lure]!"

The moment the card was revealed, a pale white light surged from the card, transforming into countless twisted phantom souls that swirled and wailed across the field.

"Each time a card is sent to the graveyard, the owner of that card takes 300 damage for each card."

You Chen looked at the masked man opposite him and smiled.

"So here's the question—"

He paused.

"Who is truly suffering?"

The masked man's expression froze.

He stared at the perpetual trap card, a look of astonishment appearing in his eyes for the first time.

Someone actually carries this card?

Why would anyone put such an obscure card in their deck?

But he had no other choice.

The "Bitter Choice" has been activated, and its effects must be addressed.

He gritted his teeth and selected five cards from the deck.

Five cards floated in mid-air, arranged in a row.

You Chen glanced at it, his eyebrows slightly raised.

Good guy.

It's a mecha?

【Mech Force - Super Transformation】

[Mecha Colonel]

Mech Fortress

Mech Fortress

[Mecha Colonel]

You Chen's pupils contracted slightly.

Mech deck.

This is a truly hardcore deck. In this battle royale environment, the mech deck can completely dominate other decks.

And the other side even has a [Mech Colonel]?

In a normal duel, he might not necessarily win.

But now...

You Chen's gaze swept over the five cards, finally pointing to one of them.

"I choose—[Mecha Colonel]."

The card flew into the masked man's hand.

The remaining four were all sent to the cemetery.

"The effect of [Necromantic Temptation] is activated."

You Chen stretched out his hand and pointed to the four cards that were falling into the graveyard.

"Five cards sent to the grave, you receive—"

"1500 points of damage!"

The pale white phantom of a soul suddenly lunged at the masked man—five souls, five impacts!

-1500LP!

"Whoa!!"

The masked man trembled violently, his entire body shaking as if he had been electrocuted. The true damage of a dark duel is far more painful than that of a regular duel.

The feeling of his soul being torn apart distorted the tone of his screams.

Health: 4000 → 2500.

The masked man clutched his chest, gasping for breath. He looked up, his eyes filled with venom.

"You brat... I'll never let you get away with this!!"

He gritted his teeth and drew a card from his hand.

"I'm activating the effect of the Graveyard [Mech Fortress]!"

He pointed to the cemetery.

"This card can be Special Summoned from your hand or Graveyard by discarding Machine-Type monsters whose total Levels are 8 or higher!"

He picked a card from his hand and threw it hard into the graveyard.

"I choose to send [Mech Colonel] to the graveyard, Special Summon [Mech Fortress]!!"

-300LP!

[The Necromancer's Temptation] was triggered again, and a phantom soul lunged at him.

"Ugh!"

The masked man grunted, his health points dropping again: 2500 → 2200.

At the same time, a dazzling metallic light erupted from the cemetery.

A colossal machine slowly rose from the light. It was a massive mechanical fortress, with thick armor, massive cannons, and an aura of chilling killing intent emanating from its entire body.

Mech Fortress

Earth/Seven Stars/Mechanical Race

Attack: 2500

"And this effect isn't limited to once per turn!"

The masked man glared fiercely at You Chen and threw out another card.

"I want to Special Summon another [Mech Fortress] from the graveyard!"

-300LP!

Another soul rushed in.

Health: 2200 → 1900.

The graveyard light surged once more, and the second [Mech Fortress] slowly rose, standing side by side with the first.

Two behemoths with 2500 attack power each had their cannons aimed at Youchen.

A sense of oppression washed over me.

"then!"

The masked man's movements became faster and faster.

"I will Normal Summon [Mech Skeleton] from my hand!"

A mechanical skeleton leaped out of the light and landed on the field.

[Mecha Mechanical Skeleton]

Earth Attribute/Four-Star/Mechanical Race

Attack: 1800

"This card can only be activated when it is successfully summoned!"

The masked man draws a card from his deck.

"Add 1 'Mech' monster other than 'Mech Skeleton' from your Deck to your hand."

He glanced at the cards added to his hand, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.

"I've chosen—[Mech Air Raider]!"

"Then activate the [Mech Assault Trooper] effect!"

He held the card high in the air.

You can activate this effect by discarding 1 "Machine" monster from your hand other than this card. Special Summon this card from your hand!

He discarded a card from his hand.

-300LP!

Another soul rushed in.

Health: 1900 → 1600.

A menacing mechanical air striker leaps out of the hand and hovers in mid-air.

Mech Air Strike Troopers

Earth Attribute/Eight-Star/Mechanical Race

Attack: 1500

Thus, on the masked man's stage—

[Mech Fortress] x2, Attack Power 2500.

[Mecha Mechanical Frame], Attack Power 1800.

[Mech Raider], Attack Power 1500.

Four monsters stood side by side.

The sense of oppression almost solidified into a tangible form.

The masked man was panting heavily, but a sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

He looked at You Chen, his eyes filled with smug satisfaction at having the victory in his grasp.

"Kid—"

His voice was hoarse, yet it conveyed a wild, exhilarating joy.

"Do you have any last words?"
