Yu-Gi-Oh!: This card wants to go to you.

His eyes widened, and his face contorted in a ferocious expression.

"Let me show you."

"The true sun god!"

Malik stopped smiling, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and uttered a low, hoarse incantation as he slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

The Millennium Eye engraved on the wall burst into golden light, and an angry growl came from underground, causing the earth to tremble violently.

"This is..." Nanyang Ling looked around blankly, remaining on high alert.

The earth slowly stopped trembling, and all sound suddenly fell silent.

Malik swung his scepter sharply: "Descend!"

"【The Winged Dragon of the Sun God - Phoenix】!"

The sky suddenly tore open, and a phoenix burning with golden flames flew out from the crack. With the flapping of its wings, the heavens and earth trembled, and the light was as dazzling as the sun.

"No... the sun is not you." Nanyang Ling clenched her fists, her face resolute. "Activate the effect of the Graveyard card [Blessed Princess of Blaze], destroy [Ganesh] and [Phoenix] on the field, and Special Summon this card from the Graveyard!"

【Tokihime】emerged from the flames, her long hair dancing like fire. She gently raised her flaming hand, and two fire dragons flew towards 【Ganesh】 and the 【Phoenix】 high in the sky.

Sparks flew everywhere, and a deafening explosion resounded through the sky.

Smoke filled the air, obscuring the view. Nanyang Ling held her breath, a glimmer of hope rising in her heart.

However, as the smoke of battle gradually dissipated, the Phoenix continued to soar, its golden flames burning ever brighter, yet it remained unharmed.

“What…” Nanyang Ling’s heart sank.

Malik's lips curled into a smirk as he coldly stared at Nanyang Ling, then burst into laughter: "This is a true god!"

"How dare a mere candlelight challenge the majesty of the sun? Utterly foolish!"

He glanced at Nanyang Ling with disdain, as if looking at a powerless ant. "This is the true divine power I wield, a power that transcends all!"

【The Winged Dragon of the Sun God - Phoenix】is unaffected by the effects of other cards.

[Ganesh] Sends a grave, a perpetual trap [Necromantic Temptation] sends out a translucent ghost that wanders in the void and passes through Lobbe's body.

Blue side's basic score: 2300 → 2000

“Coach…” Nanyang Ling looked at Luo Bai, who was bound to the side, her eyes filled with worry.

Luo Bai didn't look well either; his face was pale, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he was breathing heavily.

In this dark duel, their mental strength was gradually worn down.

They aren't afraid of a one-time major injury; they can just endure it. What they fear is something like [Necromantic Temptation], which cuts them down piece by piece.

Nanyang Ling's hands trembled, her eyes filled with confusion.

He didn't even know whether he should use the [Ganish]'s Last Word effect, which could Special Summon a monster from the Graveyard, but even if he did, it wouldn't be able to overcome 4000 ATK and all resistances, so he could only destroy it during the End Phase and take another 300 damage.

The base score is now down to 2000.

However, the enemy's base score was also similar, only 2800.

Nanyang Ling choked on her already parched throat and whispered, "Activate the effect of [Toki] to Special Summon [Ganish]."

"Set one card face down, end the turn."

“Gaika?” Malik scoffed. “Is this your last resort?”

This is the card that Nanyang Ling drew this round. It has not revealed any information and is a hidden card.

Nanyang Ling remained silent, her expression rigid, offering no clues for the other party to speculate.

Malik narrowed his eyes coldly and said dismissively, "At the end of the phase, the Phoenix will return to the graveyard."

"Special Summon—"

"【Winged Dragon of the Sun God - Spherical Shape】!"

A golden sphere, as large as the sun, slowly rose from the sea of ​​fire.

Red team's basic score: 2800 → 2500

"My turn, draw a card!"

Malik's fingertips traced across the deck, drawing out a blazing card. Upon seeing the card, a smug smile spread across his face, his eyes gleaming with victory.

"Hahaha, this is fate!"

He burst into laughter, and frenzied flames rose all around him.

Nanyang Ling's pupils constricted, her heart filled with unease: "What card...?"

Luo Bai kept shaking his head, breathing heavily. His vision was blurred by the black mist.

Only a simple outline and the basic points indicated by the duel system can be seen.

Red team's base score: 2500

Blue side's base score: 2000

In the endgame, neither side has many resources.

It is now the red side's turn, and the blue side has two monsters on the field.

"Oh no..." A monster image flashed through Luo Bai's mind, and he knew things were going badly.

Unaware of the impending danger, Nanyang Ling waved her hand toward the graveyard: "Preparation Phase, activate the effect of the graveyard card [Phoenix], add this card to your hand."

“Great, the struggle of ants,” Malik sneered.

Nanyang Ling frowned, remaining fully alert.

Just as the main phase began, a halo of light suddenly rose beneath the feet of [Tokihime] and [Ganesh].

"What is this?!" His eyes widened in surprise.

"Release two monsters on your opponent's field." Malik grinned maniacally. "I bestow this card upon you!"

"Special Summon—"

"【Lava Demon God】!"

Chapter 679 The Sun (The End)

molten lava gushed forth, the entire ground trembled, and the gates of hell were quietly opened.

As it surged, the lava slowly coalesced into a gigantic demon, unleashing a suffocating wave of heat.

"【Lava Demon God】..."

Nanyang Ling was trapped in a small cage. The iron bars were glowing red from the scorching lava. He looked up and saw the boiling lava dripping slowly from above, each drop seeming like a whisper of death.

[The Temptation of Darkness] The vengeful spirits erupt.

Blue side's basic score: 2000 → 1400

"Did I lose..." Nanyang Ling murmured to herself.

In the next round, the Goblin Servant in the back row can deal 500 damage, and with the Lava Demon's 1000 damage, it can finish off the enemy.

Malik's lips curled into a smug smile: "The gates of hell have been opened, and victory will be mine!"

"Activate the spell card - [Angel's Charity]!" He played his last card, "Draw three cards, discard two."

"Spell Card - Pot of Greed, activate!"

"Draw two cards!"

The Perpetual Trap [Dark Temptation] emits a low growl, continuously releasing vengeful spirits.

Red side's basic score: 2500 → 1900 → 1600

“A really good card.” Malik glanced at the newly drawn card, a cold glint in his eyes, and a slow smile appeared on his lips.

"Activate the Continuous Spell - [True Sun God], add [Ancient Spell] from your deck to your hand."

"【Ancient Incantation】, activate!"

"The [Winged Dragon of the Sun God] in the graveyard is added to your hand."

Malik's expression suddenly turned cold. He chanted an incantation, and the golden sphere high in the sky slowly unfolded, taking on the form of a phoenix.

"Descend!"

"【The Winged Dragon of the Sun God】!"

[Spherical shape] Liberate yourself and reveal the true form of God.

The golden light was as dazzling as the sun, illuminating the entire battlefield.

[The Temptation of Darkness] The vengeful spirits erupt once more.

Red side's basic score: 1600 → 1300 → 1000

“【Sun God】…” Nanyang Ling looked up at the raging flames that blotted out the sky, her words trembling slightly.

He dared not activate the Graveyard [Tokihime] effect; if he destroyed [Winged Dragon of Ra], [Phoenix] with 4000 attack and all resistances would appear.

【Togahime】Cannot defend, 2700 attack power, deals 1300 damage in battle, 【Necromantic Temptation】burns another 300, will reduce her HP by 1400.

However, without activating the [Togahime] effect, it's impossible to clear the [Lava Demon] from the field.

This thing is like the Sword of Damocles, hanging in the air, ready to take his life at any moment.

We're stuck, unable to move forward or backward; it's a dead end.

Malik glanced at Nanyang Ling's face-down card in the back row, a playful smile on his face: "Activate the Spell Card [Hand Card Annihilation] and send your hand to the graveyard."

Nanyang Ling frowned, discarded the Phoenix Undying card in her hand, and drew another card.

【Flame Queen - Phoenix of Fire】

At the same time, two ghosts flew out from [The Temptation of the Dead].

Blue side's basic score: 1400 → 1100

Red team's basic score: 1000 → 700

Malik stared at Gaika in the back field of Nanyang Ling and slowly narrowed his eyes.
