The card player needs to win easily

And Lishid——he only had one "Designator of Erasure".

(I can't kill it... but I can completely suppress it.)

Looking at the cards in his hand, Yugi made a decisive decision.

"Send "Guardian Priest Mahad" from your deck to the graveyard to activate the effect of "Magician's Twin Souls." Send this card to the graveyard and Special Summon "Black Magician" in Attack Position from the graveyard!"

"Normal Summon Jet Synchro! Use Jet Synchro and Black Magician to sync!"

"Chaos Dragon, Chaos Ruler!"

"When this card is Special Summoned, I can activate this by flipping over the top five cards of my deck, adding a Light or Dark monster from them to my hand, and sending the rest to the Graveyard!"

"I add "Dark Witch Diabelstar" to my hand, then send "Magician's Wand," "Servant of the Soul," "Dark Magic Guide," and "Primordial Lifeform Nibiru" to the Graveyard!"

"Strong."

Liva looked at the five turned-over cards.

It's extremely easy to flip - you can gather useless Light and Dark monsters for "Chaos Dragon" to jump around repeatedly, and you can even use "Soul Servant" to draw four cards in the next turn.

"As expected of him—wait, the Chaos Dragon Chaos Ruler has appeared, right...?"

"Discard the hand card "Dark Magician" to activate the effect of "Jet Synchronizer"! Special Summon this card, and then continue to synchronize with "Chaos Dragon Chaos Ruler"!"

The tyrannical dragon extends an arm of power from the blazing earth!

""Yanmo Dragon Red Lotus Demon·Yuan"!"

(It really exists!)

"Banish 'Primal Lifeform Nibiru' and 'Magician's Staff' from your Graveyard to activate the effect of 'Chaos Dragon Chaos Ruler'! Special Summon this card in Attack Position!"

"Enter the Battle Phase! Battle-destroy all three monsters on your field!"

All the trap monsters guarding Lishid were easily broken through.

"Two cards face down, and this is the end of my turn—with a trap deck like yours, there's no way you can break through this situation."

"Surrender. If you do, your steps in the wrong direction will end here."

Just as Yami Yugi said, there was no suspense in this duel anymore.

My Trap Deck doesn't have any cards that can get through this situation with one card and still allow me to survive the next turn.

but--

“…My turn!”

"Ah."

Even in this terrifying atmosphere of Dark Yugi, Dark Yugi still chuckled.

"really."

"You... aren't Malik, are you?"

"!"

Before he could draw his card, Lishid's whole body trembled.

"W-what? What do you mean not Malik?"

Standing in the audience, Jonouchi didn't understand what Yami Yugi said at all.

(How did he figure that out?!)

"Pharaoh! Even if I'm in such a disadvantage, I won't allow you to insult me as a member of the Grave Keeper Clan—"

"You are an upright man."

Yami Yugi interrupted Lishid's defense.

"Integrity? You—"

"Even though your dueling style is somewhat unique, I can still see your passion for your deck and dueling."

He pointed a finger at Lishid.

His eyes shone with a captivating light that could see through people's hearts.

"While the partners were fighting the real Malik, the person standing behind Jonouchi and manipulating them merely viewed them as tools."

"The difference between you two is very clear - you are a true duelist, and Malik is not!"

"To be honest...I don't think he's Malik either."

Xingzi looked at the field and saw Lishid with cold sweat on his face.

Apart from the black fog that appeared at the beginning of the duel, he did not do anything out of the ordinary.

It's very different from the style of the Gurus Group.

Even if the Kaiba Group restricts the Duel Disks that can be brought on board, given the technology currently available to the Gurus Group, it is not impossible for them to do something strange.

(what to do!)

Lishid never thought that he would fail in such a place - his identity would be suspected even if he was fighting seriously!

"Ding!"

There was something in his right hand.

(The power of a thousand-year-old artifact!)

Feeling this familiar power from darkness, Yami Yugi regained his spirit.

He respected the duelist in front of him, the one who was not Malik—but that didn't mean Yami Yugi had no discernment.

Since this person is willing to work for the real Malik, it means that he is still Yami Yugi's enemy.

"Lishid!"

Malik's voice rang out in Lishid's mind—however, another image flashed before Lishid's eyes.

"...!"

A card revealed in the hand.

And...fire.

Endless flames.

Emerging from the sky, the scarlet eyes of the golden Abyss stared at Lishid.

"Uh!"

The scene faded, and Yami Yugi was still standing cautiously in front of him.

"What was that just now?"

The thousand-year-old jewelry in my hand is still hot.

"Lishid!"

Malik's voice sounded in his mind again.

This time, he seemed to be getting impatient—very impatient.

It's like being able to get revenge immediately.

"Defeat that Pharaoh, you can do it! As long as you defeat and kill him, it won't matter whether you are in disguise or not!"

Malik, who was in the audience, quietly pressed the headphones on his ears and the thousand-year-old tin staff in his hand.

The group has penetrated the firewall of Kaiba Corporation - even if he can't change the program, he can do it just by seeing the next card!

"Just pull it out, Lishid!"

"Pull... out?"

An inexplicable fear made Lishid, who had placed two fingers on the top of the deck without hesitation, stunned.

His deck didn't really have a card like "Zhan Ji Yuan Bu" that could be deployed with a single card to resolve the current situation.

(What is this feeling?)

"Draw a card——"

A card with a face completely different from Lishid's other cards appeared in his hand.

"Winged Dragon of the Sun God"

"!"

("The Winged Dragon of the Sun God"...!)

Lishid clearly had never added this card to his deck—and besides, this card should have been in Malik's deck!

"[Winged Dragon of the Sun God]...w-why is this card here..."

"No, Lishid, this card is just a copy card - the real God Card is of course in my deck!"

Malik in the audience had almost nothing but madness in his eyes.

At this moment, even with the help of Lishid, it is enough!

"But, hasn't the organization already conducted experiments? Regardless of whether one uses a forged God Card or a genuine God Card, anyone who isn't capable of controlling it will incur the wrath of the Sun God!"

silence.

However, this silence was soon interrupted by Malik's loud voice.

"Anyone who is a member of the Gravekeeper Clan is eligible to use the God Card!"

Malik can definitely use "Apollo's Winged Dragon"... and his sister, Isis, can also use "Obelix's Giant God Soldier".

"Well, Lishid! You are undoubtedly my family! My closest family!"

"[Winged Dragon of the Sun God]... there's no reason you can't use it! As long as you can use it, even if you can only activate one of its effects, it's enough to kill the Pharaoh!"

From Yami Yugi's perspective, Lishid in front of him was stunned after drawing a card.

He couldn't tell what he saw in Lishid's eyes - the emotions were too confusing, even Yami Yugi couldn't parse them.

"...Since you think I'm not Malik, let me show you."

The thousand-year-old jewelry flashed a strong light.

(…Could this be!)

There is only one way to prove Malik's identity.

Use the God Card - "Winged Dragon of the Sun God".

"Could it be that this card is!"

The people in the audience looked at the card that Lishid was holding high.

A card with an all-gold color and blurred text.

A sound was heard - no, it was not Lishid who was saying anything, but the Eye of Truth that lit up on his forehead was speaking a certain language.

If you look closely at everyone present, you can see that the real Malik is holding the thousand-year-old staff and saying something.

heavily clouded.

A scarlet, angry eye appeared in the air.

"I show you [Apollo Winged Dragon]! Activate this card's effect!"

"Summon this card from your hand!"

Duel City Part 1: Chapter 69: Fury

"Summon!? You clearly don't have any monster cards on the field or in your graveyard!"

Yami Yugi observed the graveyard of Lishid - there were no monsters there except for "Gray Flowing Beauty".

This is a Trap Monster Deck that is like El Dorado, or actually has El Dorado.

Based on the God Card summoning conditions that Yami Yugi knew, Lishid had no way of gathering them all.

"Activating the effect of the God Card in this situation... that's the only way."

Liva in the audience pondered for a moment and thought of the God Card from OCG - "Winged Dragon of the Sun God - Sphere".
