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

If the other party says they're leaving, they probably really mean it. Why would they choose to come back at such a critical moment where they're on the verge of death?

Moreover, how come those two devastating waves of attacks from the Earthbound God didn't kill them?

The car door was pushed open with a bang, but the first to get out was not Xie Wan'an, but Ling Shiyao and another man with a resolute expression—Liu Cheng.

Looking at the enormous blue python coiled within the barrier, radiating a terrifying aura, Liu Cheng finally understood why the card set in his arms had been pulsating so intensely all along the way.

Ling Shiyao's gaze swept quickly over the two people facing off in the arena, her eyes filled with complex emotions, but she quickly looked away.

She didn't say much, but immediately began searching around for something.

The previous arrival of the Earthbound God, Veracocha Raska, almost completely destroyed everything here. Ling Shiyao hadn't been here for a long time, and her memories of this place were still from the dilapidated slum era.

Although the girl's figure opposite You Yang looked somewhat familiar, Ling Shiyao couldn't care less at this point.

Looking at the somewhat dilapidated building, Ling Shiyao barely recognized it.

After choosing a direction, she immediately rushed towards it with all her might.

At this moment, in the car, Xie Wan'an was staring blankly at the completely broken pendant in her hand, her beautiful eyes, which always carried a cold and proud air, were now brimming with two glistening tears.

"Waaaaah~"

"My pendant..."

"My [Starlight Pendant]..."

Her fingertips gently, tremblingly, caressed the fragments, and suppressed, heartbroken sobs escaped from her throat.

Jing, standing beside her, wore a rare, gentle expression. She softly put her arm around her young mistress's shoulder, gently patted her back, and comforted her with a tone of tenderness and concern rarely seen in her usual manner.

She knew better than anyone how much her young mistress had sacrificed to obtain this pendant.

He poured almost all of his wealth into acquiring this life-saving sprite that could automatically trigger defenses, and for it, he even incurred many debts of gratitude that were difficult to repay.

Although legend has it that someone possesses a special elven artifact capable of repairing the broken Starlight Pendant, Jing has only heard of such a person and has never actually seen one.

It's only natural that our young lady is so heartbroken.

Inside the arena, seeing that You Yang's health had actually recovered, Earthbound God Veracocha Rascana, who had been wearing a playful smile, let out a soft, disdainful "tsk" for the first time.

He thought he could stop Youyang's development and trap this mortal in a deadly predicament he had set for himself.

But now that I think about it, this mortal really did calculate every step to the extreme, and would never make such a low-level mistake.

"At this very moment, the effect of [Rapid Raptor - Arsenal Falcon] in the graveyard will activate again!"

You Yang's voice was like a final judgment, full of power.

"I will Special Summon another 'Raid Raptor' Xyz Monster from my Extra Deck!"

The enormous golden vortex churned violently above their heads once more, casting down holy golden light like a waterfall onto You Yang's raised hand, finally condensing and transforming into a card that shimmered with brilliant golden light, shining brightly!

Chapter 171 You Yang's Ultimate Utilization of the Extra Deck! Only Two Extra Cards Left!

"Ultimate Supreme Falcon!"

"Inherit the legacy of countless friends, and soar high in the victorious sky!"

Xyz Summon!

"Appear, Rank 10! [Rapid Raptor - Ultimate Falcon]!"

A pure, unblemished white-gold beam of light, like the light of creation, fiercely pierced through the heavens and the earth!

From the pillar of light, a sacred and majestic figure, bathed in brilliant light, slowly descended.

Its armor was no longer the cold, black steel, but a dazzling golden yellow, like the sun bird.

Golden energy patterns slowly flowed across its massive and fluid body, infusing it with a continuous stream of powerful energy!

Its wings are as sharp as knives, radiating an unparalleled and powerful aura.

Those enormous wings, strong enough to blot out the sky, had golden light flowing from the edges of each feather, symbolizing victory.

It did not roar, but slowly spread its sacred wings and let out a clear, melodious eagle cry that could pierce through the nine heavens.

That cry was a requiem for fallen comrades, and also a triumphant anthem announcing final victory!

[Rapid Raptor - Ultimate Falcon] [Tier 10]

[Dark/Bird Beast Race] [Attack: 3500 / Defense: 2000]

You Yang suddenly flipped his wrist, and the card that was lying face down in the back row, still retaining the aura of the rusty Moonblade Axe, was suddenly flipped open!

"I'm opening the card!"

"Activate the Trap Card - [Phantom Knights Shadow Mask]!"

"You can only activate one card with this name per turn. If there are no Trap Cards in your Graveyard, this card can also be activated during the turn it is Set."

"After this card is activated, it will become a Normal Monster (Warrior-Type, DARK, Level 4, ATK 0/DEF 300), and be Special Summoned in Defense Position in the Monster Zone (not treated as a Trap Card)."

A shadow flowed from the card, quickly coalescing on Youyang's field into a solitary, battle-worn silver helmet.

As two eerie blue soul flames suddenly lit up in the eyeholes of the helmet, a raging eerie blue flame instantly burst forth from the inside of the helmet, forming a phantom, silent warrior's body.

【Phantom Knights Dark Cloth Armor】【4-Star】

[Warrior/Dark] [Attack: 0 / Defense: 300]

"Next, I used the level 4 [Phantom Knights Shadow Cloth Armor] and [Raid Team Wings] to reconstruct the overlapping light network!"

You Yang suddenly opened his arms, and the two monsters on the field instantly understood. Their bodies transformed into two dark beams of light, intertwining and swirling in the air. Finally, as one, they rushed into the abyss-like golden vortex that had reappeared in front of You Yang!

"In the deepest darkness, rebellious fangs that defy the power of dullness!"

"Now, descend into the world!"

Xyz Summon! Rank 4!

"【Dark Rebellion Hyperion】!"

From the center of the supermassive vortex, a dark red, rebellious lightning bolt burst forth, seemingly tearing space apart!

With a soul-shaking roar of fury, a colossal creature, its enormous wings flapping, forcefully broke through the vortex of energy and landed on the battlefield!

Its body is a streamlined, dark purple dragon body, covered with a hard, angular shell like armor of rebellion.

Most striking is the massive, sharp, blade-like structure beneath its head, which juts out like a reverse scale, gleaming with an ominous and deadly cold light.

Its outstretched wings consist of a pure energy skeleton and a dark membrane, with wing edges as sharp as knives.

Its body was also wreathed in streaks of unruly, rebellious dark red lightning, and two ominous purple orbs, representing an excess of materials, slowly rotated around its massive dragon body like loyal guardians.

[Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon] [Tier 4]

[Dark/Xyz/Dragon] [Attack: 2500 / Defense: 2000]

Looking at the Dark Rebellious Xyz Dragon that exuded pure rebellion and unruliness, Earthbound God Veracocha Raska remained calm on the surface, thinking it was nothing special, but in his heart, an inexplicable unease welled up.

He always felt that within that dark purple dragon's body lay an extremely powerful and terrifying force, one that could even overturn the rules.

That power... was so strong that even He, as a god, felt a faint sense of fear.

You Yang slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, transforming all the anger and sorrow that had been building up in his heart into a cold fighting spirit.

He raised his arm, pointing to the [Predatory Plant Azure Lock Dragon Anaconda] radiating an aura of greed on the field, his voice echoing in the empty barrier:

"I activate the effect of [Predatory Plant-eating Crassula]!"

"You can activate this effect by paying 2000 Life Points to send one 'Fusion' Normal or Quick-Play Spell Card from your Deck to the Graveyard."

"This effect will become the same as the effect of that spell card when it was activated. After this effect is activated, you cannot Special Summon any more monsters until the end of this turn."

"I'll pay 2000 health points!"

"Send [Red-Eyes Fusion] from the deck to the graveyard!"

[Youyang: LP 5600 → 3600]

As You Yang's life value decreased again, a huge amount of life energy was greedily absorbed by the Azure Lock Dragon Serpent.

Its enormous, trap-like mandibles suddenly opened, letting out a satisfied roar.

At the same time, in Youyang's deck, a card was chosen by an invisible force, turning into a dark red stream of light that instantly disappeared into the bottomless maw of the Azure Lock Dragon Serpent!

"Next, I activate the effect of [Red-Eyes Fusion]!"

"Use monsters from your hand, deck, or field as Fusion Material to Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster that uses a 'Red-Eyes' monster as Fusion Material."

"Furthermore, the name of the monster Special Summoned by this effect will be treated as 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon'!"

A dazzling crimson light, brimming with infinite possibilities, suddenly burst forth from You Yang's body!

This was not any kind of elven power he originally possessed, but at this moment, this violent yet tenacious power inherited from the legendary duelist belonged to You Yang!

This is the power from our partners!

With a blazing fire in his eyes, You Yang waved his hand, and two cards from his deck appeared instantly!

"I'm sending Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Dark Magician from my deck to the graveyard!"

"Perform—Fusion Summon!"

In Youyang's deck, two dormant legendary cards suddenly came to life, bursting forth with two completely different beams of light!

One is the soul of a magician, deep and dark, seemingly containing the secrets of the entire magical world, representing the ultimate magic!

The other is the soul of a pitch-black dragon, filled with infinite possibilities and the most primal, raging fury!

"When the demonic path and the dragon soul converge!"

"When the chaotic black flames merge into one, the strongest knight is born!"

The two beams of light collided and intertwined fiercely in the air, eventually converging into a huge and deep vortex burning with dark red flames!

You Yang suddenly drew a card from the Extra Deck. The card seemed to bear a heavy burden as he slammed it down with a determination for revenge!

Fusion Summon!

"Descend!"

"【Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight】!"

The dark red fusion vortex suddenly contracted inward and then exploded with a bang!
