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

"What tricks do you have up your sleeve now?"

"What exactly do you want?!"

"It's better to obediently admit defeat and let the soul hidden within you come out to bear the cost of this destruction for you..."

"In exchange for the opportunity to protect those insignificant people behind you whom you wish to protect."

Gu Qingyuan's eyes grew increasingly venomous and excited, and his voice suddenly rose in pitch:

"Or are you going to watch them die in despair and agony right before your eyes?"

"And then you continue this pointless final duel with me, oblivious to your own mortality?!"

He took a step closer to You Yang, like a demon watching its prey's final struggle:

"Come on, make your decision, choose!"

"I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of interesting and painful choices you'll make!"

The gale howled across the ravaged land.

You Yang kept his head down and fell into a long silence.

His fingers, gripping the card, were white at the knuckles from excessive force and were even trembling slightly.

"Or... let me do it."

At this suffocating moment, Gray Youyang's weak yet calm voice once again echoed in Youyang's ears.

The tone was so gentle, as if the speaker were saying a final goodbye to a long-time friend.

"Being able to help you one last time at the very end of all this... is already very kind of me."

Faced with the sacrifice of his other self, You Yang kept his head down and remained silent.

However, the gray swarm hidden within his body keenly sensed the abnormality.

In the deepest part of Youyang's spiritual world, that realm of mind that was originally as calm as stagnant water suddenly began to violently turbulent without warning!

Two pure white beams of light soared high from the sea of ​​spirit, and the dazzling galaxy light curtain instantly illuminated the entire realm of the heart!

The instant the two white beams of light collided violently in the void, a golden, sacred radiance exuding absolute majesty was miraculously born at the center of the collision!

outside world.

You Yang suddenly raised his head.

At this moment, his eyes were completely tinged with a dazzling, infinitely mysterious golden light!

He quietly raised his head, gazing at the colossal beast high above, which resembled a black hole, and slowly parted his lips.

His voice became ethereal and vast, devoid of even the slightest emotional fluctuation, as if a high and mighty deity were bestowing absolute pronouncements upon the world!

Have you heard the story of that ancient legend?

"what?"

Standing on the opposite side, Gu Qingyuan glanced sideways, his brows furrowed, completely baffled as to what You Yang was suddenly saying at this critical juncture.

You Yang ignored his doubts and defensiveness, and continued to speak on his own:

Legend has it that in the chaos at the beginning of the world, there existed a single divine dragon.

"However, unable to bear the absolute loneliness of being alone, the dragon used all its power to create the world we live in today."

"After creation, the dragon quietly used the power of those 'numbered cards' to completely hide its existence."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyuan's brows furrowed sharply.

He had indeed heard of this ancient story.

Those were prophecies he discovered scattered on the broken stone slabs of ancient ruins around the world after he traveled to this dimension.

Through countless days and nights of research, he painstakingly pieced together those fragments into a grand creation story.

And the core content of that story was exactly the same as what You Yang was saying at this moment!

"The gods... are so high and mighty, they regard mortals as ants."

"But some gods love humankind almost foolishly."

The dazzling golden light in You Yang's eyes gradually solidified into a tangible form.

As his humanity gradually faded, his divinity soared to an unparalleled peak.

He suddenly extended his right index finger, like a sword of judgment, pointing straight at the massive [No. 97 Dragon Shadow God Gravity Dragon] on the field, and declared in an extremely indifferent voice:

"I activate the effect of [No. 97 Dragon Shadow Gravity Dragon]!"

"You can activate this effect by detaching 1 Xyz Material from this card."

"Choose two Dragon-Type No. monsters from your Extra Deck or Graveyard, except for No. 97 Gravity Dragon."

"Special Summon 1 of those monsters, and use the other one as Xyz Material for that monster."

"After this effect is activated, you cannot Special Summon monsters until the end of the turn, and monsters not Special Summoned by this effect cannot declare an attack."

Yu Yang's hand swept across the Duel Disk: "I take one Xyz Material from [Number 97, Gravity Dragon], and select a Dragon-Type 'Number' monster from my Extra Deck!"

"Special Summon one of them!"

Om-!

A dazzling, holy golden light burst forth from Youyang's Extra Deck without warning, and Youyang steadily drew a card that shimmered with pure gold luster.

Gu Qingyuan was horrified to discover that the intense, almost tangible divine radiance emanating from You Yang was actually derived from this golden card!

The strong wind whipped You Yang's robes into a fluttering sound. He held the card high above his head as if it were a decree, and chanted in a stern voice:

"The key to creating the universe!"

"Now, open the gates of darkness!"

Crack—Boom!

As You Yang proclaimed his proclamation, a deep, dark rift was suddenly torn open in the void behind him.

Pure golden energy gathered wildly in the crack, then poured out violently like water bursting from a dam.

Countless fragments of stars were pulled tightly by an irresistible, immense gravitational force, swirling rapidly around the crack and forming a massive star ring.

A deep, oppressive rumble echoed through the air, as if the gravitational field that governs everything in the depths of the universe had been completely materialized at this moment!

From You Yang's raised arm, the pure gold card burst forth with a radiance that pierced the universe.

His eyes turned pure gold, and with a vast, divine voice that seemed to emanate from the depths of the void, he proclaimed:

"With that primordial roar that resounds throughout the universe, let us guide a new future out of despair!"

"Descend, No. 100, representing both origin and end!"

"【No. 100 Source Number Dragon】!"

boom--!

A thick, incomparably powerful pure golden pillar of creation light shot up from behind You Yang without warning, instantly piercing through the entire collapsing sky like a divine sword that split the heavens and the earth!

Within that terrifying golden pillar of light, a colossal golden dragon, its size beyond description, burst forth with a force capable of tearing apart the universe.

Its dragon roar was grand and sacred, and it resonated directly with the underlying laws of this world!

Under this deafening dragon's roar, all the shattered things around them instantly turned into countless luminous dust particles, which then miraculously reconstructed and reappeared in the light.

It was as if even the flow of time and the physical rules of space had been forcibly reset back to their purest, original state by this force.

This golden colossal dragon of creation blots out the sky, its body possessing a translucent, divine quality that transcends reality, as if it were forcibly interwoven and blended from the darkest matter in the universe and brilliant fragments of stars.

Its streamlined dragon body is covered with a vast galaxy pattern that flows like a living thing, with dazzling starlight appearing and disappearing among its scales.

The dragon's head was sharply defined with menacing barbs, and its sharp jaws were like invisible blades capable of easily cutting through dimensions.

Its deep emerald green eyes reflected countless fantastical phantoms of parallel universes arising and dying wildly, as if one could instantly glimpse the ultimate secrets of this spacetime by simply looking into them.

When it fully unfolds its enormous wings, it not only completely blocks out the entire sky, but its wing membranes are also covered with countless ancient symbols that shimmer with dazzling light.

The edges of the wings are tightly embedded with high-density energy flows that swirl wildly like star rings.

Even the slightest vibration of its enormous wingspan in mid-air can cause terrifying, visible ripples in spacetime, much like the massive gravitational fluctuations that erupt when a galaxy is born.

【No. 100 Source Dragon】【Tier 1】

[Light/Xyz/Dragon] [Attack: 0 / Defense: 0]

Chapter 337 Offering Gods as Sacrifices! Turning Them into Bullets That Decide Victory!

Golden light shone in everyone's eyes.

The strong winds whipped Gu Qingyuan's once neat hair into a chaotic mess.

"No. 100?!"

"This...this is actually the legendary 'No. 100'?!"

His eyes were wide open, bloodshot from extreme shock, and his usually lifeless pupils were now filled with undisguised disbelief.

This deity is the very reason why he has been frantically collecting "No." numbered cards all those long years ago!

Legend has it that this origin dragon, which created all things and all laws, firmly believed that as long as it could be awakened, this omnipotent being of this level would be able to easily break through dimensional barriers and send it back to its homeland.

However, those numbered cards representing fragments of the dragon are extremely difficult to collect.

They are not only scattered in various dangerous and inaccessible places around the world, but also rarely appear in the world.

After countless setbacks and despair, he finally had to completely abandon this unrealistic idea and instead chose the extreme path of using the Great Evil God Zorc, which brought destruction.

But he just couldn't understand how You Yang could successfully summon this true creator god right in front of him today!

How is that even possible?!

You should know that a considerable number of these numbered cards are still firmly in their own hands!

There's no way You Yang could possibly have collected all the numbered cards. How did he manage to overcome all of that and forcibly awaken this deity?!

Despite Gu Qingyuan's utterly shocked gaze, You Yang's expression remained as calm as still water, as if nothing in this world could stir his heart anymore.

He stood quietly and proudly in the gale, slowly raising his right hand, his thumb and middle finger gently rubbing together.
