Yu-Gi-Oh!: Don't you have your own cards?

"Don't even think about it!" Seeing the Winged Dragon of Ra gather its divine flame cannon once again, You Tianqiang roused himself.

"I'm opening the covered trap card!"

Malik: "It's no use! Yutian, I told you. Trap cards don't work on gods. Ra's attack continues!"

Yu Tian: "Sorewadukana!"

"Activate the trap card, [Recruitment Order]!"

"You can flip over the top card of your deck. If it's a monster that can be Normal Summoned, you can Special Summon it to the field!"

Malik: "What?!"

Game: "【Recruitment Order】? Indeed, this card's effect isn't activated against gods. However, whether 【Recruitment Order】 can summon a Barrier Monster depends on luck."

Jonouchi: "That Yuten guy! At such a crucial moment, he actually left his life to luck...?"

Everyone glanced at him slightly.

Huh? Is Gambling City criticizing Yu Tian's gambling mentality?

Unexpectedly, Jōnei suddenly raised his hands and made a very expressive face.

"As expected of my friend, Jonouchi! You've got guts! Keep it up, Yuten!"

Everyone: ...

"Hmph! You think you can definitely pull the Barrier Monster, Yuten?" Malik said sarcastically.

You Tian simply smiled slightly.

"Malik, it seems you don't understand~"

"There is a real connection between duelists and decks."

"As long as I believe in your deck, your deck will respond to me!"

game:???

If you trust your opponent's deck, will their deck respond to you?

Why does this sound so familiar, yet something about it feels off?

A question mark appeared above Malik's head.

No? This is my deck, what are you believing?

"Come on, Malik!" Yu Tian looked at Malik confidently.

"Let me show you the synergy between our decks!"

Everyone: ??? Your synergy with other people's decks? Is that right?

The effect of [Conscription Order] was processed, and the top card of Malik's deck was slowly revealed.

You Tian: You've already shown off! Don't let me down! Show me a monster you can summon!

The card was flipped over, and it was a monster card—[Crossbowman]!

"Great!" Jonouchi exclaimed with delight.

Upon seeing the card, You Tian's smile widened even further. The others also breathed a sigh of relief.

Malik: ...

Malik was in a bad mood; he felt his deck had betrayed him.

This "Crossbowman" is the first monster he uses in this duel. He only has one "Crossbowman" in his deck.

In the previous turn, Malik used Pot of Greed to recycle five monsters from the graveyard, and this one was among them.

Surprisingly, this card was drawn at such a crucial moment.

Seriously, that guy on the other side, You Tian, ​​who keeps using those Minotaur tricks, is annoying enough. Why is my own card helping him?

"Oh dear, Malik, that's how duelists are."

Seeing Malik's less-than-pleasant expression, You Tian began his unique "psychological counseling".

"To win a duel, your deck needs to have some green cards."

Everyone: ...

Malik's eyelids twitched.

"All you do is talk. My attack isn't over yet!"

"Rayo! Attack his crossbowmen!"

Bang! The crossbowman, who had just arrived at the arena, was instantly smashed into the graveyard.

However, Malik's offensive in this round had ended. Yu Tian had successfully survived another round.

"Hmph! Open the card, [Fusion Copy]."

[Effect: You can only activate 1 card with this name per turn. You can target 1 "Fusion" Normal/Quick-Play Spell Card in your or your opponent's Graveyard; banish that Spell Card and apply its activation effect.]

"I have broken the bond between myself and Ra again by removing the [Unbonding] from my graveyard."

Call ~

Once again, Malik returned to his original form.

Malik LP: 1→6600

"I'll set one more card face down, end of turn."

Finally, it's time for You Tian's turn again.

A strong wind swept across the airship's dueling stage, and the weary young man let out a soft breath, slowly placing his hand on the dueling disk.

This is the final round!

The two magic cards I've recovered right now aren't enough to give me a chance to win!

To defeat Malik, you must...

Please respond to me! My deck!

"My turn, draw a card!"

As he drew the card, You Tian suddenly opened his eyes.

"I activate this card from my hand, [Pot of Greed], and draw two cards."

Wandering Sky Hand Cards +1

Upon seeing the cards he drew, You Tian's lips curled into a slight smile.

"Malik, you've lost this duel!"

"One of the two cards I just drew is [Continuous Spell]!"

"This card allows me to use the effect of a spell card twice!"

Upon hearing this, Malik gave a slight, cold laugh.

"Yutian, don't think I don't know what you're up to. Are you planning to activate the [Monster Resurrection] card you recovered last turn, then combine it with [Continuous Spells], and then use the effect of my [Survival Card] on the field to make me draw all my cards and lose?"

Kaiba and Yugi frowned slightly. So Malik had figured this out too?

"Do you think I'll follow in his footsteps after my main personality was defeated by the game in this way?"

You Tian raised an eyebrow.

"How naive! Yuten. I'm going to activate this card from Cover, [Extraordinary Food]!"

"This card can send one of my Spell/Trap cards to the Graveyard and restore 1000 Life Points."

"What I'm sending to the grave is precisely the [Sign of Survival]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the "Survival Treasure" was sent to the cemetery.

Malik LP: 6600→7600

Kaiba: Oh no! Malik's deck is down to only 7 cards after the [Recruitment Order] effect summoned a small fry. But now that [Survival Treasure] has been sent to the graveyard, it's impossible to wipe out his deck anymore!

Game: Furthermore, Malik currently has 7600 life points and two barrier monsters on the field: [Despair from Darkness] and [Kilgos].

Seeing this, both of them showed a helpless expression.

Malik: "Hahaha! Out of options now, Yuten!"

To prevent the situation of running out of cards from happening again, I specifically included cards like [Pot of Greed] and [Extra Food].

Forget about ever succeeding with a deck that relies on card reduction!

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Suddenly, applause erupted on the stage.

"Malik, it seems you have indeed learned your lesson."

"That's right, reducing decks to zero is my strategy."

"Unfortunately, [Monster Resurrection] was just a backup plan that I recalled as a precaution."

"But my real killer move is this!"

As he spoke, You Tian revealed another card in his hand.

"【Double Magic】?" Malik raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, this card is the second magic card that [Sacred Magician] used in conjunction with [Sun and Moon] to recycle."

"Wait? When did you send this card to the graveyard?" Malik frowned, trying hard to recall everything from the duel until now.

Without realizing it, he turned his gaze to Seto Kaiba in the audience.

Kaiba, his face dark, glared back at Malik and then rolled his eyes at Jonouchi, who had sneaked over.

"Yes, there is. This is my only chance to send [Double Magic] to the graveyard."

You Tian held up one finger and waved it at Malik with a slightly teasing expression.

"It was I who initiated the [Hand Elimination]!!" Malik suddenly realized something.

"Bingo! Congratulations on getting it right." You Tian said with a smile.

"Use [Double Spell] to copy [Monster Resurrection] from my graveyard, then activate another [Monster Resurrection] yourself, and finally activate [Monster Resurrection] again with [Chain Spell]?"

In this way, I will draw 9 cards because of the [Survivor Baoza], thus losing.

"Hmph~" Malik snorted again.

"That's a good idea, You Tian. However, I no longer have [Surviving Baoza] on my field. Reducing his card count is impossible now!"

"Your only chance of winning now is to use the three monsters that resurrected from the graveyard to reduce my life points to zero this turn!"

"However, I banished your [Masked Beast Death Guardian] from the game, and my [Lava Demon] was already recycled by [Pot of Greed]. Now there's simply no monster in my graveyard that can defeat my [Despair of Darkness]..."

"Could it be? You want to be resurrected?"

At this point, Malik laughed even more maniacally.

"Hehehe, ahahaha! What a pity! To use the pull effect, you need to read out the ancient priestly script on the card, just like I did."

Malik's finger soars through the sky.

"And you, it's impossible!"

"So, you're destined to lose this duel!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the audience shook their heads slightly.

"Oh, Malik, it seems you've only learned from your mistakes, but haven't yet learned to apply what you've learned to other situations."

"Then just watch and see how I wipe out your deck this turn!"

Game: "What! Is Yuten still going to wipe out Malik's entire deck?"

Without saying anything more, You Tian began to operate.

"I'm going to throw away [Monster Resurrection] and activate [Double Magic]."

Everyone: "What!! Throw away [Monster Resurrection]?"

Malik: "What exactly are you planning to do, you bastard?"

"Watch closely! The effect of [Double Spell] activates. This card allows me to use one Spell Card from your Graveyard."

"And what I want to use is the [Hand Elimination] you activated at the beginning!"

Everyone: ? ? ?

"Wait a minute, Yuten! Malik only has one card in his hand! Even if he activates [Hand Elimination], he can only remove one card from the deck!" Jonouchi shouted anxiously.

You Tianchong made a reassuring gesture.

"It's not over yet. At this moment, I activated the [Continuous Spell] in my hand in a chain. According to the effect, I discarded all the cards in my hand and activated the effect of [Double Spell] again."

"And this time, I'm going to copy the other card you activated at the very beginning, [Heavenly Treasure]!"

Malik: "Masaka!"

"That's right, it seems you thought of that too! [Heavenly Treasure] will let you draw five cards, and [Hand Elimination] will let you draw six cards."

"And your deck..." Yu Tian pointed to Malik's Duel Disk.

"You only have 7 cards left! You can't draw any more from the Duel Disk, so you've lost, Malik!"

Malik: "This...this...how is this possible!"
