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

"I choose to add [Gandora the Destroyer - Forbidden] from my deck to my hand!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the tightly sealed [Golden Casket of Light] slowly opened a crack in the golden light, and a card carrying destructive power was miraculously spat out from it and flicked into Chen Yuexi's hand.

After adding the crucial card to her hand, Chen Yuexi didn't hesitate for a moment. She immediately revealed another card in her hand and shouted with high fighting spirit:

"Then, I immediately activated the effect of [Black Magician - Black Magician] in my hand!"

"This can only be activated if 'Golden Chest of Light' is present on the field."

"This card can be Special Summoned directly from the hand."

Chen Yuexi suddenly swung her arm:

"Appear! [Black Magician - Black Magician]!"

Om-!

Amidst the dazzling light of the magic circle, a dark mage with dazzling golden hair, draped in a magnificent robe and wielding a staff brimming with magical energy, appeared tall and imposing on the battlefield.

[Black Magician - Dark Magician] [7-Star] [Dark/Mage Race] [Attack: 2500 / Defense: 2100]

With the successful debut of [Black Magician - Black Magician], a golden light with immense pressure suddenly shone in Chen Yuexi's originally clear eyes without warning!

Instantly, on the outer edge of the battlefield enveloped by magma, violent golden lightning began to tear and churn wildly, and a terrifying power that made one's soul tremble surged forth like a tidal wave from the card in Chen Yuexi's hand!

Chen Yuexi gripped the card that was radiating terrifying energy tightly with both hands. The immense power made her voice hoarse.

"Then I activate the effect of [Gandora the Destroyer - Forbidden] in my hand!"

"This ability can only be activated if you control a 'Golden Chest of Light'."

This card can be Special Summoned from your hand!

"The Black Gold Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

"Tear apart the shackles of this world, and burn away all falsehood with the radiant light!"

"Descend! [Gandora the Destroyer Dragon - Forbidden]!"

—Boom!

Thousands of extremely bright scarlet beams shot out wildly from high above, rapidly weaving together in the dim sky to form a line chart filled with an aura of destruction.

At the intersection of each beam of light, a deafening roar erupted, blasting out clusters of dark red sparks that instantly turned the entire dueling space into a shocking blood-red mess!

In that shattered void, a terrifying dragon claw covered with extremely thick black and gold prism armor violently tore open a huge spatial rift. The cold joints covered with steel spikes rubbed together violently as they moved, producing a series of teeth-grinding metallic roars!

[Gandora the Destroyer - Forbidden] [8-Star] [Dark/Dragon] [Attack: 0 / Defense: 0]

"The moment it descends, the decisive moment has arrived!"

Enduring the dual exhaustion of physical and mental strength, Chen Yuexi shouted:

"I activate the field entry effect of [Gandora the Destroyer - Forbidden]!"

"As a price, you have to pay half of your life points to activate it."

"Destroy and banish all other cards on the field!"

As her life points rapidly diminished, Chen Yuexi's delicate body trembled slightly, but her eyes remained fixed on the front.

[Chen Yuexi: LP 3200 → 1600]

Roar--!

An extremely violent crimson beam erupted from the massive and ferocious body of [Gandora the Destroyer - Forbidden] like a volcano.

Under the illumination of this destructive light, everything on the field trembled violently, as if it would be reduced to ashes again in the next second!

"Don't even think about succeeding!"

At this critical moment, a voice as powerful as an ancient bell, exuding boundless majesty and ferocity, actually roared out directly from the mouth of the enormous [Divine Flame Emperor Uria]!

"At this moment, the effect of the Field Spell Card [Paradise Lost] that envelops me activates!"

Accompanied by the roar of the Divine Flame Emperor,

"As long as this card is in the Field Zone, your Monster Zone's 'Uria the Divine Flame Emperor,' 'Hamon the Thunder Emperor,' 'Rabiel the Phantom Emperor,' and 'Amitaire the Chaos Phantom Demon' will never be targeted by your opponent's card effects, nor will they be destroyed by them!"

"Of course I know that the clearing effect of your [Destruction Dragon Gandora - Forbidden] is not targeted."

[Gandora the Destroyer - Forbidden] sneered mockingly.

"However, [Paradise Lost] can also provide another layer of absolute protection—protection from being destroyed by effects!"

boom!

The earth trembled violently under the fierce impact of that devastating crimson light.

A withered giant tree, exuding an aura of death and desolation, rose from the ground with the power of [Paradise Lost].

Like an insurmountable wall of sighs, it stood firmly in front of the enormous body of [Divine Flame Emperor Uria], and forcefully withstood Gandora's world-destroying red light!

A deep and malevolent dark light instantly spread from the base of the giant tree, transforming into an indestructible barrier that rivaled the raging crimson beam.

Within the rough bark of that withered giant tree that rose abruptly from the ground, dark eyes suddenly opened, gleaming and revealing a chilling, eerie light under the blood-red reflection.

Directly in front of the giant tree, a striking red color appeared out of nowhere in the void. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a bright red apple.

Against such a bizarre and oppressive backdrop, this otherwise perfectly normal apple is now tinged with an unknown and terrifying aura, as if it contains a deadly temptation and curse.

Rumble—!

As the two destructive forces, red and black, collided violently, the entire virtual space emitted a mournful cry of unbearable strain.

However, amidst the swirling dust, Chen Yuexi's clear yet unwavering voice rang out once more, like a sharp sword breaking the dawn:

"The Continuous Spell Card [Golden Coffer of Light] has absolute protection; as long as it exists in the Spell & Trap Zone, it cannot be destroyed by monster effects!"

"Furthermore, the effects of [Gandora the Destroyer - Forbidden] have a follow-up!"

"After that, you can Special Summon 1 Level 7 or lower monster from your Deck whose name includes the card 'Golden Chest of Light'."

"Furthermore, the Level of the monster Special Summoned by this effect will increase by the number of cards destroyed by this effect."

Chen Yuexi suddenly waved her large hand, guiding the light through the dust:

"I choose to Special Summon [Incremental Marshmallow] from my deck!"

"The effect of [Black Magician - Black Magician] is activated!"

"If this card is destroyed by a card effect, you can activate this effect if there is a Level 5 or higher monster on the field."

"Special Summon this card."

"After that, you can set 1 Spell/Trap Card with 'Dark Magician' in its name from your Deck to your field."

"I choose to set the spell card [Dark Magician Circle] to the top of my deck!"

"That's not all, we'll continue the chain!"

"The effect of the [Three-Color Parts] also activates at this moment!"

"This card can only be activated if it is destroyed by battle or card effect."

"I can set one 'Hidden Fortress' from my deck to my field."

call--!

As a strong wind blew by, the thick dust on the battlefield finally slowly dissipated.

Two face-down cards radiating mysterious magic suddenly appeared on Chen Yuexi's field, and the number of monsters on the field remained unchanged despite the previous destruction.

However, the tri-colored gear man that was originally made of intricate gears has now turned into a soft and bouncy pink cotton candy wearing comical big glasses.

[Increased Marshmallow] [3 stars]

[Light/Angel Race] [Attack: 300 / Defense: 500]

Although they successfully used Gandora's power to completely wipe out the territory of [Divine Flame Emperor Uria].

But Chen Yuexi, standing on the field, still had a serious and not relaxed expression on her delicate face.

Because on the opposite side of the field, the body of [Divine Flame Emperor Uria], which was radiating endless flames, still stood like an insurmountable wall of sighs, and its attack power was as high as a despairing 8000 points!

To make matters worse, it also benefits from another card-drawing effect of the field spell [Paradise Lost].

Currently, [Divine Flame Emperor Uria] consistently maintains a very generous hand size of around five cards.

On the other hand, Chen Yuexi's resources have been almost completely depleted after this extremely fierce counterattack from a desperate situation.

In order to survive the previous attack, she had already used three [Time Silence] spells to block the fatal blow.

Although the mountain of cards in the banished area caused the attack power of [Gandora the Destroyer - Forbidden] on the field to increase to some extent.

Chen Yuexi gritted her teeth and looked over, but that little bit of attack power still seemed insignificant in front of [Divine Flame Emperor Uriah].

But looking at the enormous creature opposite them that had lost its protection, Chen Yuexi's eyes, which had been slightly dimmed from exhaustion, were once again filled with an extremely fierce fighting spirit.

At this moment, the most troublesome field spell card, Paradise Lost, is finally gone.

So, it's time to reveal your trump card!

"The time for a desperate counterattack has come! Open the card!"

Chen Yuexi suddenly swung her slender arm, her fingertips creating a sharp gust of wind.

"Activate the Continuous Spell Card - [Dark Magic Circle]!"

With a powerful wave of Chen Yuexi's hand, a face-down card that had been lurking in the darkness was suddenly flipped over amidst a dazzling light.

Within the black halo, golden symbols flashed incessantly!

"At this moment, the effect of the [Dark Magic Circle] activates!"

"As part of the effect processing when this card is activated, check the top 3 cards of your Deck."

"You can reveal 1 'Dark Magician' or 1 Spell/Trap Card with that name to your opponent and add it to their hand."

"Return the remaining cards to the deck in your preferred order."

"I believe in my deck!"

"bring it on!"

Three cards flew out from the top of the deck and fell into the [Dark Magic Circle], into Chen Yuexi's eyes!

Upon seeing the three cards, she didn't hesitate to draw the middle one and reveal it.
