Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

"Walk!"

It's not too late yet. As long as the altar is destroyed before the evil god descends, this disaster can still be prevented!

Without the slightest hesitation, Tiandao Lian immediately jumped in.

Jing followed closely behind, and You Yang and Xie Wan'an exchanged a glance before leaping into the darkness as well.

Chen Yuan watched as the figures disappeared into the darkness, then gritted his teeth and followed them.

"Heavenly Lotus?"

"Goodnight, thank you?"

"Chen Yuan?"

As soon as You Yang landed, he called out his companions' names, but received no response; only his own echo reverberated in the empty underground space.

He immediately sensed something was wrong, looked around warily, and placed his hand on the duel disk.

Welcome to my world!

A slender man slowly emerged from the shadows, toying with a card in his hand, the Duel Disk on his arm gleaming with an eerie light.

He wore a strange smile, the curve of his lips looking particularly unnatural.

The thin man let out a strange, chuckling laugh, bowed exaggeratedly to You Yang, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Hello, my name is Migu, and I am the guardian of this place."

You Yang's expression instantly turned cold, his eyes sharp as knives, and he asked directly:

"Did you do what happened here?"

"Of course!"

Migu raised his Duel Disk, and the phantom of a Field Spell Card slowly appeared on it. The card depicted intricate labyrinth walls, casting distorted shadows in the dim light.

【Shadow of the Labyrinth Wall】!

"Don't worry, your friends are all fine."

Migu maintained his humble demeanor, but a sly glint flashed in his eyes.

"After all, I'm all alone here."

"However, it will be tough for them to play through the maze."

You Yang keenly sensed that his opponent was deliberately stalling for time. Without hesitation, he inserted his deck into the Duel Disk, which immediately made a crisp locking sound.

Seeing that his scheme had been exposed, Migu showed no disappointment, but instead revealed an even more eerie smile. He also revealed his duel disk, its eerie light standing out conspicuously in the dim underground space.

[The duel begins!]

[Youyang: LP8000]

【MIGU: LP8000】

"Phew, luck is on my side."

"I choose to attack first."

Seeing the virtual coin display heads, Migu forced a twisted smile onto his face.

It was only then that You Yang noticed that this person's eyes were heterochromatic—the left eye was emerald green, and the right eye was orange-yellow, shimmering with an eerie light in the dim light.

The duel officially began as both players simultaneously drew five cards from their decks!

Migu revealed a card, his voice tinged with smugness:

"I activate the effect of [Dark Chariot of the Labyrinth] in my hand. This card can be summoned without Tribute."

"Appear! [The Labyrinth's Heavy Magic Chariot]!"

buzzing-

A muffled mechanical roar came from underground, and a red drill bit broke through the soil first, kicking up a cloud of dust. Immediately afterward, the blue metal vehicle slowly rose from the ground, its tracks making a heavy thud as they rolled over the ground.

【The Maze's Heavy Demon Chariot】【7 Stars】

[Dark/Mechanical Race] [Attack: 2400, Defense: 2400]

Migu looked at the chariots on the field with satisfaction and continued:

"I activate the effect of [Dungeon's Heavy Magic Chariot], which can only be activated during my main phase."

"Choose one of the following cards from your hand, deck, or banished state: 'Thunder God Sanga,' 'Wind God Shuga,' or 'Water God Saga,' and place it face-up in your Spell & Trap Zone as a Continuous Spell Card."

"I placed [Wind Demon God - Shuga] face-up in my Spell & Trap Zone as a Continuous Spell Card from my deck!"

As the [Heavy Demon Chariot of the Labyrinth] burrowed underground once more, a huge green demon god phantom appeared in the back of the Migu, with the traditional Chinese character "风" (wind) above its head emitting a faint green light.

Migu then revealed another card:

"I can activate the effect of 'Shadow Ghoul of the Hidden Labyrinth' in my hand by discarding this card from my hand. Add 1 'Labyrinth Wall' card from my Deck to my hand."

He caught the cards that popped out of his deck steadily and then slammed them onto the duel disk without hesitation.

"Let me show you the terror of the maze!"

"I activate the Field Spell Card [Darkness of the Labyrinth]!"

The soil and rocks underground began to shake violently, and stone walls rose from the ground, intersecting and combining to form a complex labyrinth structure.

The wall surface was covered with strange patterns, which were faintly visible in the dim light.

In the blink of an eye, a complex maze completely surrounded Youyang and Migu, and a chilling wind blew from the depths of the maze's passages.

Chapter 153 The Ultimate Fusion of the Three Elements: Wind, Water, and Thunder! Combined Demon God - Guardian of the Gate!

Migu's fingers lightly traced the cold, rough maze wall beside him, his eyes gleaming with fanaticism as he declared loudly:

"I activate the effect of [Shadow of the Labyrinth Wall]!"

"Once per turn, can only be activated during your Main Phase."

"Choose one of the following cards from your hand, deck, or banished state: 'Thunder God Sanga,' 'Wind God Shuga,' or 'Water God Saga,' and place it face-up in your Spell & Trap Zone as a Continuous Spell Card."

"I'm using [Water Demon God - Saga] as a Continuous Spell Card, placing it face-up in my Spell & Trap Zone!"

Migu suddenly drew a card from his deck and quickly inserted it into the Duel Disk. As he did so, the walls of the labyrinth shook violently, and a huge blue skull phantom appeared in Migu's back row, the character "water" above its head emitting a faint blue light.

“The conditions are all set!” Migu’s voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Golden light burst forth from Migu's Extra Deck as he reached out and grasped the two phantom demons in the back row, chanting loudly:

"Next, I will exclude [Wind Demon God - Shuga] and [Water Demon God - Siga] from the back row!"

"Special Summon this monster!"

"O Wind Demon God who unleashes a world-ending storm!"

"Let them converge here in the vortex of chaos, transforming into the ultimate storm that guards the dimensional gate!"

The two phantom demons on the field simultaneously unleashed earth-shattering roars, the sounds echoing endlessly between the maze walls.

The body of [Water Demon God - Ska] instantly collapsed, transforming into a pitch-black tsunami that swept across the entire area, seemingly about to devour everything.

The body of [Wind Demon God - Shuga] transformed into a towering, emerald-green tornado, tearing apart the surrounding air.

However, these two terrifying natural forces did not dissipate, but instead intertwined and entangled in the air above the labyrinth.

"Show yourself! Level 9! — [Feng Shui Demon God - Guardian of the Gate]!"

At the eye of the storm, a brand new, even larger demon slowly emerged.

Its upper body is a dark green wind demon, while its lower body is a pale blue water demon. The two are forcibly fused together, resulting in a bizarre and oppressive overall form.

A hideous maw let out a deep roar, causing the entire labyrinth to tremble.

[Feng Shui Demon God - Guardian of the Gate] [9 Stars] [Wind/Mage Race/Fusion/Effect] [Attack: 2450 Defense: 2300]

"That's not all!" Migu's voice was filled with excitement.

"Then, I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card from my hand—[Burial from Another Dimension]!"

"Based on its effect, I can activate this effect by targeting a maximum of three monsters from my own and my opponent's banished monsters."

"The monsters returned to the graveyard."

"I will return the [Water Demon God - Ska] and [Wind Demon God - Shuga] from the outer area to the graveyard!"

The space in front of Migu began to distort, and a black and gold coffin slowly emerged from the void.

As the coffin lid opened, Migu tightly grasped the two cards.

Instead of rushing to send the card to the graveyard, he held up another card high in his hand!

"And what I possess is precisely the missing Third Demon God!"

Migu's aura suddenly surged, and a towering, phantom-like figure appeared and disappeared behind him. Amidst howling winds and roaring thunder, icy blue water droplets condensed in the air.

Migu hurled three cards into the void, the sound echoing like ancient incantations throughout the labyrinth:

"I will remove the three monsters from the graveyard: [Water Demon God - Saga], [Wind Demon God - Shuga], and [Thunder Demon God - Sanga] from my possession!"

"Choose to Special Summon this monster!"

"Ancient souls dwelling in thunder, torrents, and storms!"

"Let the battlefield be our altar, and let bonds be our pact!"

"At this moment, release your boundaries and gather your scattered elemental power into a form that guards the Gate of Eternity!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the entire maze shook violently, and stones fell from the walls.

The Wind Demon God transformed into a green whirlwind, the Thunder Demon God unleashed golden lightning, and the Water Demon God surged into a blue torrent. Three torrents of energy with vastly different attributes shot into the sky, colliding and intertwining in the center of the arena, forming a massive tri-colored vortex.

A deafening roar emanated from the center of the vortex, like the roar of an ancient behemoth before it awakens.

"Fusion Summoning! Descend, Level 12! [Fusion Demon God - Guardian of the Gate]!"

As the light gradually faded, the demon god finally revealed its complete form.

Its upper body is composed of the Thunder God Sanga, with golden thunder armor covering its majestic torso;

The waist and core torso are connected by the Wind Demon God - Shuga, with green energy pulsating like a heartbeat, tightly stitching the upper and lower body together;
