Want to play cards? I have a great deck!

"--"Black Magician" attacks "Osiris Sky Dragon"! [Black Magician]!"

The magic power turned into projectiles, and magic bullets as big as a washbasin flew out from the tip of the staff and bombarded the red dragon.

The magic missile continued to absorb magic power and grow in size while in flight. When it finally hits the ground, there is no doubt that it will cause a huge explosion that will reach the sky and the earth.

Facing this terrifying attack, Atum chuckled and said, "You're really coming at me, Yuki. Then let me use this card to respond to your will - the moment you attack, I'll activate the effect of the "Ankh Chestnut Ball" in my hand!"

"It's actually the Ankh Chestnut Ball?"

Seeing that Atum's behavior was not what he expected, You Xi secretly said "bad".

His grave contains...

"When an opponent's monster declares an attack, send "Ankh" to the Graveyard to revive 1 monster from both players' Graveyards to my field."

Atum pointed in the direction of Youxi, and a stream of magic power followed the guidance of the chestnut ball and fell onto his field.

"--I Special Summon "Black Magician of Chaos" in Defense Position!"

"Chaos Black Magician, DEF: 2600"

His expression was even colder than that of the Black Magician. The magician who controlled the power of Chaos appeared in the surging magic power and sent a card to Atem's hand.

"When "Chaos Black Magician" is Special Summoned, add 1 Magic Card from the Graveyard to your hand. I choose "Black Magician", so my hand is restored to 5 cards, and the attack power of "Osiris" remains unchanged."

As Atem's hand cards decreased and increased, nothing changed except that there was one more monster on the field.

But what happened next was different.

"Because my field has increased monsters, Yuki, your "Black Magician" attack is rolled back, and the effect of "Eternal Soul" is activated! Add "Thousand Blades" from the deck to the hand, and then the effect of "Magician's Staff" in the graveyard is activated!"

[While this card is in the Graveyard, if you activate the effect of a Spell or Trap Card during your opponent's turn, you can activate this effect by releasing 1 Spellcaster-Type monster on your field. Add this card to your hand.]

"Release "Black Magician of Chaos" and return "Magician's Staff" to my hand."

Using the magic of chaos as a medium, Atum collected another card from the underworld. Then he unfolded his hand and found that he already had 7 cards.

These cards also bring more powerful power to "Osiris Sky Dragon".

"Osiris Sky Dragon, ATK: 2500 → 4500"

"Since there are two more cards in hand, the attack power of "Osiris" increases by another 2."

Atum asked Youxi, "Now we are on par with the Black Magician again. Do you want to continue attacking, Youxi?"

"of course!"

Yuxi's answer remained unchanged, and he declared again: "The Dark Magician attacks the Sky Dragon of Osiris, the Dark Magician! !"

"Very good, let's also fight back, "Osiris"! [Superconducting Wave? Lightning Cannon]! ! "

The roar from the gods drowned out the cries of Youxi and Atum, and a mighty column of lightning pierced through the empty space and collided fiercely with the pitch-black magic missiles.

An unprecedented wave of air rolled and rushed in all directions, and the burst of light was so intense that it made it impossible to open one's eyes.

Atum stared intently, his school uniform cape fluttering, his hair and the Millennium Bricks on his chest shaking, waiting for this scene of mutual destruction to come to an end.

But at this moment, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"what?"

At the center of the shockwave that should have been evenly matched, a jet of dark magic power actually tore through the wave of lightning and crashed into the chin of the Sky Dragon, knocking its head back.

The continuous lightning cannon stopped for a moment, and at this moment, more magic power tore through the lightning and bombarded the "Sky Dragon" like a meteor.

Then――

"boom!"

The flames of the explosion rose from behind Atem, completely engulfing the "Sky Dragon".

- "Osiris Sky Dragon" destroyed.

The energy aftermath of the riot gradually subsided. At the other end of the conflict, the purple-clad magician stood quietly, as if nothing in the world could shake him.

"The Black Magician was not destroyed?"

Seeing that the "Black Magician" was safe and sound, Atum was a little puzzled at first, and then he noticed a card in front of Youxi.

"That is……"

"Quick-attack magic: Sword of Sealing Light. I don't need to explain the effect of this card, Mr. Atum."

"I see. So, you used its effect to seal one of my cards when the battle resumed."

There was indeed no need for You Xi to explain further. When Atum discovered that he had one card missing, he already understood what had happened.

After all, this "Sword of Sealing Light" is also one of my favorite cards.

The strength of "Osiris Sky Dragon" is linked to the cards in hand. After a card is cut from the hand, its attack power will naturally decrease, so it is not surprising that it was defeated by "Black Magician".

The so-called magic is just that once the secret is revealed.

But being able to seize the right moment and use magic well is another matter.

[Atrum LP: 1500 → 500]

"As expected of you, Youxi. You used a single card to turn the tide, and in the end, you didn't end up dying together, but rather, you completely and head-on accomplished the feat of killing a god. Now, you are a true duelist who can be proud of yourself. I have seen your strength."

"It is my honor to receive your praise, Mr. Atum."

Hearing Atum's generous praise for him, it was impossible for Youxi to say that he was unhappy.

After all, there are very few duelists who can be truly recognized by Atum.

Looking at the original DM work, there are only three people, Kaiba, Jonouchi and Rafiel. Judging from this standard, his evaluation of Yuki can be said to be very high.

You know, not everyone can deserve the title of "real duelist" as Atum said.

But despite being happy, You Xi still has to face a problem.

Atum pointed it out.

"Youxi, that 'Light Sealing Sword' was originally your trump card. You were planning to catch me off guard when I used the effect of 'Eternal Soul' to increase my hand, and decide the outcome in one go, but unfortunately, you miscalculated.

"I still have the last 500 LP left, and you know what's going to happen next."

"……I see."

In order to kill with one blow, You Xi has used up too many cards in his hand, and the card disadvantage has been maximized.

Next, Atum would attack without mercy, not giving him a moment to breathe. Youxi had to bear the consequences of trying his best but failing to defeat his opponent.

"But in other words, as long as I can withstand this wave of attacks, I still have a chance."

Yuki took a deep breath, exhaled, and placed the last of his hand into the slot on the Duel Disk.

"Main Phase 2, I activate the Spell Card: "Dark Magic Curtain"!"

[Black Magic Curtain (Normal Magic): Pay 1000 Life Points to activate. Select 1 Sorcerer-Type/Dark Attribute Monster from your hand/graveyard and Special Summon it.]

"Pay 1000 Life Points and Special Summon "Black Forest Witch" from the Graveyard in Defense Position."

"Black Forest Witch, DEF: 1200"

[Youxi LP: 7000 → 6000]

Yu Xi originally intended to use this magic card to revive "Black Magician of Chaos" so that he could recycle it and activate "Monster Recycling" again to draw 5 cards to regroup.

But now that Chaos Black was resurrected early by Atem, it is impossible to do so. "Chaos Black Magician" has the effect of leaving the field and no longer exists in the graveyard.

As a second choice, Youxi chose "The Witch of the Black Forest" which can search for hand pits and "Electronic Pot".

He also has "Ankh-Kuri-Ball" in his deck and "Clean-Kuri-Ball" in his graveyard, which can block up to 4 attacks. Plus he can use the abundant LP as a shield wall, which should be enough.

"My turn is over."

Volume 103: Chapter The Final Duel! Gap and Recognition

"It's my turn, draw a card!"

The rounds alternate.

As Youxi announced the end of the round, Atum raised his hand and drew a new card.

As Atem drew a card, the "Black Magician" who had just displayed his divine power and helped Youxi achieve the feat of killing gods also disappeared like a dream bubble - this was the side effect of "Blood Bat, the Sin of Death".

Monsters that receive its effects will be sent to the Graveyard during the Preparation Phase of the next turn. After a moment of brilliance, they will face a withered end.

Now Yuki only has the "Witch of the Black Forest" left on the field. He has to rely on the "Witch's" last words and the "Pure Chestnut Ball" in the graveyard to survive Atem's turn, and then try to counterattack in the next turn.

In this regard, the decks are basically the same, and Atem, who has checked the graveyards of both parties through the effect of "Ankh-Kuri Ball", naturally understands this.

What made Youxi uneasy was that Atum didn't show any embarrassment or worry on his face, he just chuckled.

"It can withstand up to 4 attacks, which is really tricky under normal circumstances, and it is also a very strong and solid defense. But these can't stop me, You Xi.

I have seen the power you currently possess. In response to your defeat of God, I will also use my full strength in this round!"

“Use all your strength…!”

You Xi's face froze when he heard this. As expected, Mr. Atum still held back.

Under his solemn gaze, he saw Atum placing an emerald green card into his field slot.

"--I activate the Field Spell from my hand: "Gaia the Wanderer"! And use its effect immediately."

The ground rumbled and shook, and a layer of fire symbolizing fighting spirit and war intent burned, forming a huge circle that surrounded Youxi and Atum.

No one can escape this circle of fighting.

"Not good!"

You Xi looked around at the flames and realized that some terrible crisis was about to happen.

I didn’t expect it to be this card…!

“1回合1次，把手卡的1只龙族?5星的怪兽给对方观看才能发动，从卡组将1张「暗黑骑士 盖亚」怪兽加入手卡。”

Atum flips over one of his hand cards and displays it publicly.

"I'm going to show you Cursed Dragon - Cursed Dragon. I'll add Gaia, the Dark Knight of the Wind from my deck to my hand. Then I'll sacrifice Dragon Destroyer - Swordsman of Destruction to Advanced Summon Cursed Dragon - Cursed Dragon!"

"Cursed Dragon - Cursed Dragon, Level 5 / Dark / Dragon" "ATK: 2000 / DEF: 1500"

The attack reduction effect of "Blood Bat, Sin of Death" is permanent. The "Dragon-Destroying Swordsman", who only has 300 attack power and has never fought a battle, was used as a waste by Atem without hesitation. Guided by the light of its liberation, the new vest of "Cursed Dragon" roared down.

"The effect of "Cursed Dragon - Cursed Dragon" is activated!"

[You can only activate this card if it is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned successfully. Add 1 Magic or Trap Card with the card name of "Dragon Knight Gaia" from your Deck to your hand.]

"I add Spiral Fusion to my hand and activate this Spell Card directly!"

He took a picture of the retrieved card, and the spreading spiral fusion effect exploded in Atem's field.

"Use this card's effect to fuse "Cursed Dragon - Cursed Dragon" with "Gaia, the Dark Knight of the Wind" from my hand!

Fusion Summon! Birth, "Soaring Dragon Knight Gaia"! ! "

"Soaring Dragon Knight Gaia, Level 7/Wind/Dragon/Fusion" "ATK: 2600/DEF: 2100"

"[Dark Knight Gaia] Monster + Dragon Monster"

"As long as this card exists in the Monster Zone, its card name will be treated as [Dragon Knight Gaia]."

What emerged from the spreading fusion effect was a brand new dragon knight.

When Yu Xi first traveled to this world, he summoned the original "Dragon Knight Gaia" in the duel with Xingye Wu. In the subsequent duel with Feiyu, Ben also wanted to activate Gaia's new fusion, but was stopped by Feiyu.

But now, the fusion that Youxi had not completed was completed by Atum.

But this is the worst news for You Xi.

"Spiral Fusion has a follow-up effect. When Fusion Summoning Dragon Knight Gaia, the monster's ATK increases by 2600. Therefore, the ATK of Flying Dragon Knight Gaia becomes 5200. Then the effect of Flying Dragon Knight is activated!"

[This card can only be activated when it is successfully Special Summoned. Select 1 "Spiral Gun" from your Deck or Graveyard and add it to your hand.]

"I add the continuous magic "Spiral Gun" to my hand and activate it. As long as this card exists on the field, when "Dragon Knight Gaia" attacks a monster in Defense Position, it will inflict battle damage equal to the opponent's attack power exceeding its defense power. Go ahead, Yuki! This is the final battle phase!"

Calling for a new trump card, in the duel arena where the phantom god had retreated, Atum waved his arm forward and declared loudly -
