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

Seeing Ling Shiyao's questioning gaze, Su Xiaolan pulled her into her room without saying a word.

She took out an exquisitely designed silver bracelet from a safe secured with a triple combination lock and quickly explained:

"This is an elven creation I made by imitating that mysterious disc."

"But it wasn't completely successful; it was still just an experiment, and the results were extremely unstable."

"However, it has the ability to greatly amplify the user's mental strength in a short period of time."

"Although the side effects are significant, and it will basically be completely unusable after just one use."

"But at least it can be used as a trump card to turn the tide in a desperate situation!"

Su Xiaolan solemnly placed the icy-cold bracelet into Ling Shiyao's palm and earnestly instructed her:

"Remember, the side effects are severe. It's best not to use it unless absolutely necessary."

Ling Shiyao nodded heavily, gripping the bracelet tightly. She knew there was someone more suitable to use this thing than she was!

As Su Xiaolan took out several small explosive and jamming devices, the two immediately left the research institute and rushed towards the dueling arena at full speed.

Meanwhile, deep underground in the arena, the altar had been completely constructed.

When Ling Zhiyong and his group arrived, at the highest point of the altar, a group of people dressed in black robes and exuding an eerie aura were quietly waiting for them.

Looking at the black-robed man before him, who held a white bone scepter and was clearly the leader, Mo Tieshan asked expressionlessly and directly:

"Are the offerings ready?"

"Hehe, of course."

The man in black robes let out two dry chuckles like those of a night owl, but when his gaze fell on the flawless girl in the female researcher's arms, his eyes instantly erupted with an unprecedented, almost consuming fervor!

"Then let's begin!" Mo Tieshan said without further ado.

The man in black robes led the way, with Mo Tieshan and the female researcher following closely behind with the girl.

Ling Zhiyong looked at the group of people who exuded an aura of decay and bloodshed, his eyes filled with undisguised extreme disgust.

If it weren't for the fact that these dark duelists had mastered the incantation to summon the gods, and that they themselves had taken on the need for sacrifices, they would have been able to achieve such a feat.

Ling Zhiyong really wished he could kill them all!

Just standing next to them made Ling Zhiyong feel incredibly disgusted.

For now, we can only be patient.

After a brief hesitation, he took a step and slowly followed.

As the group stepped onto the altar made of strange crystals, the scene before them changed once again.

In the black rock at the very center of the altar, there is a heart-shaped groove that perfectly matches the figure of the girl.

As the female researcher gently placed the girl inside, a sudden and unexpected event occurred!

The high priest, clad in black robes and holding a scepter, suddenly raised his hands high and slammed the bone scepter down with all his might!

The black-robed high priest finally raised his withered, eagle-claw-like hands high.

His voice was hoarse, yet possessed a penetrating power that seemed to tear through dimensions, as he uttered that forbidden name:

"Fed on the souls of countless sacrifices, guided by the scars of the earth!"

"Open, gates of the underworld!"

"Awaken in this world!"

"Descend, Earthbound God Aslia Pisco!!"

The moment the words fell, instead of a deafening roar, a strange, high-frequency humming sound arose from the depths of the earth without warning.

"Boom!"

A deep, powerful heartbeat, seemingly emanating from the depths of the earth, suddenly resounded, and the heart, which was the energy singularity, throbbed violently!

In an instant, the once lifeless heart seemed to come alive!

At the top of the nine-tiered staircase, all the ancient underworld runes engraved on it were ignited at the same moment, bursting forth with an ominous, dark red light that resembled hellfire.

The light brought no warmth; instead, it made the surrounding darkness even deeper and more aggressive!

The light transformed into boiling blood plasma, surging from all directions of the altar along the massive canyons that formed the "giant" pattern, creating blinding torrents of energy that poured into the singularity at the center!

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!!"

"The coming of the Lord!"

"We'll give you everything!!"

The black-robed figures surrounding the high priest immediately pulled out their cards and used the sharp edges to slash their wrists, letting the blood gush out as they shouted fanatical slogans.

Instantly, a thick, pungent smell of blood mixed with a nauseatingly sweet aroma filled the entire altar.

The moment the bright red blood touched the ground, it was immediately infected by the crystal beneath their feet, turning into a black, viscous liquid like petroleum.

At this moment, the countless phantom souls imprisoned in the strange crystal were also fully activated. They were no longer silent images, but emitted mournful howls that could directly penetrate the brain and tear apart the mental barrier.

The researchers present had seen all sorts of disgusting scenes over the years, and it could even be said that each of them had taken a lot of lives on their hands.

Strictly speaking, none of the people present were clean.

But the scene before them still made them feel disgusted and terrified from the bottom of their hearts.

Those with weaker mental strength were unable to stand, groaning in pain as their faces contorted in agony.

They felt as if their mental world was being pierced repeatedly by thousands of red-hot steel needles, and the excruciating pain almost made them kneel down immediately.

But their persistence and unwavering determination over the years have allowed them to persevere.

Even if it means death, they will hold on and witness the arrival of the gods!

This is a scene that many people could never witness in their entire lives, but they had this honor!

After absorbing all the energy torrent, the energy singularity stopped collapsing and instead began to expand rapidly in a geometric progression!

boom--!!!

A dark red beam of light, reaching to the heavens and the earth, suddenly erupted from the singularity and shot upwards!

It easily broke through the thick soil barrier and soared straight into the sky!

With unparalleled power, it forcefully tore open a huge and twisted hole in the thick purple miasma sky.

On the other side of the void, there are no stars, no sky, only a chaotic void belonging to the laws of the underworld, a void so vast that even the gods would tremble.

Within the pillar of light, an indescribable, immeasurably large outline was slowly taking shape.

Ling Zhiyong struggled to lift his head, and through the blinding red light, he saw the indescribable shadow of a colossal giant that covered the entire sky. From the other side of the rift, it slowly lowered its head and cast its indifferent first glance at this tiny land.

The earthbound god has descended!

Ling Shiyao and Su Xiaolan, who were driving at high speed, stared in horror at the huge pillar of light in front of them that seemed to pierce through the heavens and earth, and both thought to themselves that something was wrong.

Su Xiaolan became anxious, almost crushing the steering wheel in her grip, and hurriedly asked:

"Still haven't we been able to get in touch?!"

"No, the call cannot be connected. It seems that their signal is completely blocked."

Ling Shiyao had tried calling You Yang and Xie Wan'an countless times, but all she ever heard was a cold busy signal.

It was obvious that there was no signal where the two people were.

"This is going to be difficult."

Although Su Xiaolan is a genius in scientific research, when it comes to fighting, she's practically useless.

Although Ling Shiyao is quite capable in combat, expecting her to face this kind of situation alone would be tantamount to sending her to her death in vain.

Su Xiaolan subconsciously glanced at the homemade energy detector on her dashboard.

The thing is completely broken now; the pointer is spinning wildly and making a buzzing electrical sound.

The energy released the instant the beam of light appeared definitely exceeded all known conventional levels.

In other words, that's god-level energy!

Are these two going to challenge the gods all by themselves?

This is truly...exciting!

In some ways, Su Xiaolan is also a madwoman!

On the altar side, as the ancient giant stone slab brought by Mo Tieshan was solemnly placed in the groove at the top of the altar, the space in front of them exploded with a loud "boom," and countless cracks appeared like a shattered mirror.

Five beams of light shot out from it and landed steadily on the ground.

The people on the altar immediately turned their gazes over warily, their eyes cold and mocking, as if they were watching a caged beast.

As the ripples in space completely shattered and dissipated, the scene before You Yang had undergone a complete transformation.

He dusted himself off and found that what stood before him was no longer the cold maze wall, but a towering altar made of countless strange crystals!

Chapter 161 The Awakening Girl, the Descending God!

Xie Wan'an, Jing, Chen Yuan, and Tian Dao Lian also appeared one after another beside You Yang. However, all four of them looked somewhat disheveled, with their clothes in disarray and their breathing somewhat disordered, clearly having exhausted a great deal of mental energy during the final collapse of the maze.

As soon as they landed, everyone immediately realized something was wrong.

The sky was a canvas shrouded in a thick, viscous, dark purple miasma. The sun and clouds were nowhere to be seen; only a suffocating, oppressive darkness remained.

The passage they had previously opened to enter had long been completely obscured and swallowed by the dark purple miasma, cutting off all their escape routes.

The ground beneath my feet had long since turned into charred rocks, covered with a web of jagged cracks, like the skeleton of the earth. Stepping on it would even produce a slight, teeth-grinding cracking sound.

The most terrifying thing is the air. There is no wind here, only a bone-chilling cold and a greasy feel, as if you are inhaling not gas, but a tangible, cold liquid.

Each breath felt like inhaling diluted poison, not only numbing their lungs but also slowly and ruthlessly draining the life force from their bodies.

Everyone felt their thinking begin to sluggish, and their mental energy seemed to be being constantly consumed by an invisible hand.

Right in the very center of this dead zone, the group saw the altar of the god of the underworld, which existed only in forbidden documents—the "Heart of Nazca."

The sight before them sent a chill down everyone's spine.

It is neither a tower nor a temple, but a massive, unimaginably large concentric theater that is sunken into the earth's core.
