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

Deep within that ever-swirling golden storm, a chilling crimson light, like a sharp blade, tore through space and suddenly appeared!

Youyang faced the fierce wind and began to sing loudly.

"Tremble! Hear the revelation from the divine dimension!"

"The two wrathful spirits have now merged into one, forming the ladder to victory!"

"Descend from that paradise beyond the reach of mortals—manifestation of my will, suppress all wrath!"

"Defense Position Xyz Summon - Rank 7!"

"Descend! [The Shangri-La Cocoon of the Kusha Wrathful Clan]!"

With a deafening roar, a giant red cocoon, seemingly harboring endless calamities, slowly emerged from the enormous golden vortex.

Countless enormous energy plates, resembling solar sails and gleaming with a cold metallic luster, were arranged in a highly oppressive formation around the blood-red giant cocoon.

It hovered beneath the narrow ceiling of the card shop, its body constantly shimmering with awe-inspiring high-dimensional power!

[The Shangri-La Cocoon of the Kusha Wrathful Clan] [Tier 7] [Fire/Xyz/Psychic Clan]

Attack Power: 0 / Defense Power: 3000

The instant this terrifying behemoth was successfully Xyz Summoned, You Yang remained unfazed, his wrist deftly flipping once more to reveal two brand-new cards to his opponent:

"Then I activate the magic card from my hand—[Seven Star Sword]!"

"Only one card with this name can be activated per turn."

You can activate this effect by banishing 1 Level 7 monster from your hand or from the face-up monsters you control.

"Draw two cards from your deck."

You Yang's gaze did not waver for a moment as he held one of the cards high:

"I will exclude the [Tears of Elegy Clan Type: Kusha's Wrathful Might Clan] from my possession!"

"As a price, draw two cards from your deck!"

Swish-!

A blinding white light suddenly appeared in the void, followed by a dark golden longsword exuding an ancient aura that materialized out of thin air. With a whistling sound that tore through the air, it mercilessly pierced through the card that You Yang had chosen.

The pierced card dissipated into starlight, but it also transformed into a new data stream, giving him the opportunity to replenish his hand.

You Yang extended his long, slender fingers together, precisely and elegantly pinching the two cards that popped out from the top of the duel disk.

His eyes quickly scanned the cards, and after a glance, a confident smile appeared on his lips. Then, he revealed one of the cards without reservation.

"I activate the special effect of my [Intimidating Minion Type: The Wrathful Clan]!"

"It can only be activated during the main phase of either player's turn."

"This card can be Special Summoned directly from your hand!"

Before the words were finished, the smooth ground of the card shop seemed to be pressed down by some extremely heavy substance, and a huge, terrifying black shadow slowly rose from the ground like a ferocious beast from a swamp.

boom!boom!boom!boom!

With a heavy metallic thud, four strong, mechanical feet firmly supported the ground, lifting the extremely heavy, dark gray, massive body high into the air.

The monster's body was covered with layers of thick armor plates, the edges of which were worn and covered with hideous marks from countless brutal battles.

The most horrifying thing of all was the pair of limbs raised in front of them—they were not feet for walking, but two giant claws capable of tearing apart steel.

Huge, curved metal claws, gleaming with a chilling light in the dim light, were crossed over his chest, like a cold-blooded killing machine, ready to tear everything in its path to shreds at any moment.

Between the gaps in its thick armor, a faint orange-red light, like boiling lava, could be seen.

The light flashed on and off rhythmically, like the heavy breathing of some enormous creature.

On its broad back, several extremely sharp spikes stand like swords and halberds, extending menacingly down its neck to the base of its tail, exuding a tyrannical aura.

[Intimidating Clan Type: Awe-inspiring Clan] [7-Star] [Earth/Psychic Clan]

Attack Power: 0 / Defense Power: 2600

You Yang's gaze was sharp, the light from the dueling disk illuminating his focused face as he solemnly declared:

"The subsequent effect of Special Summoning 【Kusan's Wrathful Clan Type】 requires banishing one 'Kusan's Wrathful Clan' or 'Kusan's Wrathful Clan' card from your hand or Graveyard."

He suddenly swung his arm, pointing directly at the cemetery area:

"I choose to banish the Spell Card from my Graveyard—[Sixth Generation Destroyer]!"

As Youyang gave the command, the beast-like [Intimidating Claw Type Kusha's Wrathful Clan] on the field let out a deep roar, and its heavy metal claws, accompanied by a sharp gust of wind, slammed down. A card immediately popped out of Youyang's graveyard slot and flew out in a flash.

You Yang's movements were fluid and without the slightest hesitation; he then shouted loudly:

"The moment the [Sixth World Destroyer Paranirmitavasavartin] was banished, its effect was activated!"

"Target one of your banished 'Kusha' cards, other than this one, and add it to your hand."

You Yang's lips curled into a knowing smile, as if he had everything under control.

"Of course I'll choose to add the [Tears of Elegy Clan Type: Wrathful Might Clan] that I just removed back into my hand!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a scarlet spatial rift was torn open in the void once again, and a card flew out under the pull of the laws. You Yang gracefully stretched out two fingers, caught it steadily, and then elegantly put it into his hand.

Before Old Chen on the other side could recover, You Yang's offensive continued like a storm.

"Next, I will stack the level 7 [Intimidating Minion Type Kusha's Wrath] and [Kusha's Wrath Unicorn] on the field again!"

You Yang loudly announced,

"Perform an Xyz Summon!"

The roar echoed again in the cramped card shop, and the two enormous figures transformed into pure energy pillars that shot straight into the sky, intertwining to form a huge golden vortex.

"Defense-level Xyz Summon - Second [Kusha's Wrathful Clan's Shangri-La Cocoon]!"

At the center of that wildly spinning vortex, another giant red cocoon, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression, crashed down, hovering side by side with the first cocoon in mid-air, like two high-dimensional monitors, tightly sealing off this space.

[The Shangri-La Cocoon of the Kusha Wrathful Clan] [Tier 7] [Fire/Xyz/Psychic Clan]

Attack Power: 0 / Defense Power: 3000

Lena, who was watching from the back, had her mechanical cat ears twitching slightly. Her large eyes flashed with extreme shock and confusion. She couldn't help but swallow, muttering to herself:

"He actually summoned two identical monsters?"

Could it be... that he plans to use these two identical monsters as materials for a higher-level Xyz Summon?

As a Link Monster, Lena has seen a lot in this virtual world.

Therefore, she was well aware that some extremely powerful Xyz Monsters had extremely demanding requirements for their summoning materials, and some even required two identical Xyz Monsters as a stepping stone.

"No, these two monsters are his ultimate trump card."

Just then, Gray Youyang, who had been leaning lazily against the mottled wall with his arms crossed, suddenly spoke coldly.

His face, identical to You Yang's but devoid of life, was expressionless, his gaze fixed intently on the red cocoons on the battlefield.

"oh oh……"

Upon hearing Grey Wanderer speak, Lena shrank back in fright, nodding obediently and not daring to utter a sound, showing no sign of being presumptuous.

Subconsciously, she was really afraid of this gray-haired boss who exuded a dangerous aura.

At this moment, the sense of oppression on the battlefield had reached its peak, but You Yang's advance had not stopped.

He suddenly revealed another card, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit!

"Next, I activated the special effect of [Kusha's Wrathful Clan - Reishart] in my hand."

"This effect can be activated if you control a 'Kusan' monster; you can Special Summon this card directly from your hand!"

You Yang pointed to the open space in front of him and called out loudly:

"Come forth, blade that cuts through everything—[Kusha's Wrathful Clan, Reishart]!"

Sizzle—!

The space in front of You Yang was once again brutally torn apart as if it were a fragile piece of cloth. Accompanied by a violent surge of energy, a tall figure clad in heavy red and black warrior armor landed heavily, causing the dust on the ground to rise slightly.

Chapter 293 Don't exclude my family!

His imposing shoulder armor and arm guards, like the most precise mechanical components, gleamed with a chilling dark golden light under the dim lights of the card shop.

A long, purplish-red ponytail flew wildly in the surrounding turbulent energy currents.

The cold-blooded warrior turned his head slightly, a cruel and sharp sneer appearing on his lips. He slowly opened his palm, and a dazzling, destructive blue light was rapidly gathering.

[Kusha's Wrathful Clan - Reishart] [4-Star] [Fire/Warrior Clan]

Attack Power: 1500 Defense Power: 2100

"Next, activate his entrance effect!"

You Yang's offensive came wave after wave, giving Lao Chen no chance to catch his breath!

"During your Main Phase on the turn you successfully Normal or Special Summon [Kusha's Wrathful Tribe - Rashard], you must banish one other [Kusha's Wrathful Tribe] card from your Deck to activate this effect."

You Yang's finger suddenly pointed at Old Chen, his eyes revealing an undeniable domineering aura:

"As an effect, this card will be forcibly banished face-down from the top of the opponent's deck, and its level will be instantly increased to 7 stars!"

"I choose to banish the trap card [Purify the Roots of Evil in the Sixth Generation] from my deck!"

You Yang shouted loudly,

"By the way, mercilessly banish the top three cards of your deck from the inside!"

As You Yang gave the order, [Kusha Nuwei Clan · Reishart] on the field let out a cold snort.

He tilted his head slightly again, the sharp sneer on his lips growing even more arrogant, and the ball of dark blue light gathered in his palm suddenly burst forth with a blinding brilliance.

Behind him, a massive amount of red high-dimensional energy surged wildly like a scarlet cloak fluttering in the wind.

Splash!

Under the pull of this irresistible force of law, a card flew out of Youyang's deck and disappeared into the void. Immediately afterwards, at the top of Lao Chen's duel disk deck, three cards were completely out of their master's control, turning into three sealed, dim streams of light, which were forcibly stripped off and banished from the inside.

After absorbing this enormous energy, Reishardt's aura surged!
