Chapter 123 The True Phantom God!!!
"Hey, President," You Yong cleared his throat and said helplessly, "Look, I defeated Malik's puppet driving the "Sky Dragon of Osiris" before, and then I teamed up here to fight again."
"After these two rounds of high-intensity duels, I'm no longer in the best condition. Do you want to fight me in this state?"
Although Kaiba has been calling the Masked Duo a small fry before, it was actually just the president's own nonsense.
As the top hunters of Gurus, the Masked Duo is still very strong. Coupled with the targeted deck, it also put the president and Wang Yang in a difficult battle in the animation.
What's more, You Yong had defeated Malik's puppet, who had the phantom "Sky Dragon of Osiris" and was even stronger, by himself.
After having similar thoughts, the president also thought that You Yong's mental consumption should be quite a lot.
"Hmph..." Kaiba snorted lightly, hugged his arms, frowned, and obviously began to hesitate.
Seeing this, You Yong quickly struck while the iron was hot and continued to persuade:
"And don't you think this place is too shabby now, President? It's more appropriate to fight for the God Card on the stage of the finals, right?"
After listening to You Yong's words, Kaiba glanced at the two big holes blown out by the explosives on the other side, and the glass shards flying everywhere.
"Humph, this kind of place is really not suitable." Kaiba was a little unhappy that he didn't get a card game, but he didn't object to You Yong's words.
He thought of the duel boat he prepared for the finals and the duel stage built on Devil Island.
"Well, if I beat you here, you won't be able to see the moment when I won the championship and won the title of Duel King." Kaiba crossed his arms and said proudly.
"Then we will decide the winner on the stage of the finals. For the time being, I will allow you to witness the moment when I collect three God Cards and ascend to the throne of Duel King."
Let me witness how you were defeated by the game and lost the "Oberisk Giant Warrior", right? You Yong thought in his heart.
However, considering that the president had rarely resisted his urge to play cards, what he said was what it was, and You Yong did not refute it.
After Kaiba finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the rope ladder dropped by the helicopter not far away, and at the same time, he did not forget to say to You Yong behind him:
"Since you have collected six puzzle cards, then follow me to the final venue. I will not allow you to escape the duel between us."
You Yong hurriedly followed him after hearing this. Of course, he would take advantage of the wind. As for the duel? It doesn't matter who you fight with at that time, just don't run into Wang Yang in advance.
After boarding the helicopter with Kaiba, You Yong couldn't help but look at the masked duo lying on the top of the building, wondering why Malik didn't go online and say a few harsh words? Could it be that he has changed his nature?
At this time, Malik...
was walking on the street with a white-haired boy with an injured arm, and not far away were Jonouchi, Honda, Anzi, and Jijiang.
Malik knew that the Masked Duo of You Yong and Kaiba had been defeated and their decks were pulled out.
But he really had more important things to do now, and he really couldn't spare the time to go online to see You Yong and Kaiba's fierce words.
Not long ago, Malik was leisurely riding his motorcycle while happily enjoying the duel of the Masked Duo.
But while driving, he never expected that a white-haired boy with no ears suddenly rushed from the corner to the middle of the road, and Malik almost didn't brake and hit him directly.
Fortunately, as a single card player, Malik reacted quickly and had amazing hand speed. He turned the car sideways and forced it to stop, and finally he was safe.
At first, Malik thought it was an older child who had no safety awareness, and was going to teach him a lesson before leaving.
But he never thought that the white-haired boy with no ears pulled open his outer clothes, revealing another thousand-year artifact "Millennium Wisdom Wheel", and released dark power to threaten him to hand over the "Millennium Tin Staff" in his hand.
After a few words, the two began to confront each other. For a while, they were on edge and were ready to fight if they disagreed.
But through subsequent conversations, the two found that their respective interests were different, and they had the same target for the time being.
So after some discussions, the two happily reached a consensus on cooperation.
Malik wanted to complete his revenge on Wang Yang and collect three phantom cards to become the new Pharaoh. After achieving all this, he would not need the Millennium Item.
The white-haired boy with no ears, the avatar of the great evil god Zok, "An Moliang", was not interested in the God Cards or anything else. He just wanted to collect seven Millennium Items to gain endless power through the stone tablet.
But Malik, the second-in-command of the tomb-keeping clan, knew that even if he collected seven Millennium Items, he would not be able to unlock the secret of the stone tablet, and it would be fine to hand over the Millennium Staff.
So the two temporarily reached a cooperation and decided to get rid of Wang Yang together. After the matter was accomplished, Malik completed his three thousand years of revenge, and the "Millennium Staff" and Wang Yang's "Millennium Building Blocks" belonged to An Moliang.
After a brief discussion, the two agreed that it was too difficult to get rid of Wang Yang directly, and there was basically no possibility of success, so they decided to play a bit of trickery and start with Wang Yang's friends.
So there was this scene now.
The two planned to use the game friends' concern for An Moliang's host, that is, Biao Moliang, to send some people away first, and then capture the main target of this time - Jonouchi!
Soon, Malik helped the "seriously injured" An Tapiryo to approach the game's friends.
And Jonouchi and the others also noticed the injured Tapiryo and rushed to meet him.
"What happened?" Jijiang asked with concern.
"Are you okay, Tapiryo?" Jonouchi said.
"It's a serious injury..." Anzi said as she looked at the wound on Tapiryo's arm.
"It looks like someone attacked him..." Malik helped An Tapiryo, answered everyone's questions and asked thankfully, "Great, do you know him?"
"Who did this?" Honda asked angrily.
"Tapiryo, what happened?" Jonouchi asked Tapiryo.
"I don't know..." An Moliang covered his bandaged wound "painfully" and pretended to be a little confused, "...I can't remember clearly." Malik, who was supporting An Moliang, looked up at his friends and said: "I helped him with emergency treatment, but it's better to take him to the hospital quickly." As he said that, Malik cast his eyes on Honda, who seemed to be the best fighter, and hoped to get rid of this man from the bottom of his heart. Honda was about to volunteer to take on this task, but Jijiang on the side came out and said: "Sorry to trouble you, leave it to us next." In the end, Jijiang took a taxi and took An Moliang to the hospital alone. Malik saw that he sold out his only teammate, but only got rid of an old man on the opposite side, and he couldn't help but feel very disappointed. Just when Malik was thinking about whether to take action now, Xingzi's mobile phone suddenly rang. Anzi quickly took out a pink cell phone, took a look at it, and passed it to Jonouchi, saying:
"It's Shizuka's call."
"It's Shizuka..." Jonouchi quickly took the phone and answered it.
Honda, a good friend at the side, quietly approached Jonouchi and began to eavesdrop.
After a call, Jonouchi suddenly became excited, and after a monkey cry, he excitedly threw Anzi's cell phone into the air.
Anzi's face changed drastically, and she quickly caught the phone that fell from the air.
"Hey, Jonouchi, are you dissatisfied with my phone?" Anzi, who barely caught the phone, asked.
Jonouchi was still full of excitement, and said to Anzi happily:
"Shizuka said she would come to watch the finals!"
"Hey? Is Shizuka's eyes better?" Anzi asked in confusion.
"Ah, it is said that the bandage can be removed." Jonouchi said happily.
"That's great." Anzi also said happily.
But Jonouchi soon began to worry, and said distressedly:
"I want to pick her up, but I have to go to the game, but for safety reasons, he can't come alone."
While Jonouchi was worried, his good friend Honda began to hang around in front of Jonouchi, showing his presence, and occasionally pointed his finger at him, as if hinting at something.
Jonouchi also noticed Honda, but his face gradually became disdainful...
Seeing that Jonouchi seemed to have the intention to refuse, Honda stopped trying to please him, hooked his hands around Jonouchi's neck, shook it constantly and said:
"Leave it to me! Leave it to me!"
After saying that, Honda did not give Jonouchi a chance to refuse, and ran out quickly, leaving only one sentence saying:
"Shizuka's matter is up to me!"
Jonouchi was a little speechless, but it could only be like this.
So he turned around and looked at Malik on the side and smiled:
"Thank you for saving Bakura, ah, that..."
Jonouchi suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to know the other person's name.
Kyoko smiled and broke the awkwardness and asked:
"Come to think of it, I haven't asked your name yet."
"My name is Nam, please take care of me." Malik smiled and stretched out his right hand.
"My name is Jonouchi." Jonouchi shook hands with Malik.
"My name is Kyoko, thank you so much." Kyoko smiled.
"Don't say that, it's my duty." Malik touched his head pretending to be embarrassed.
And Jonouchi noticed the duel disk on Malik's raised arm and said in surprise:
"Ah, you are also a duelist?"
"Ah, that's what I said..." Malik smiled embarrassedly, "...but my strength is not very good, don't challenge me to a duel."
"Sorry, I have collected six puzzle cards and passed the preliminaries." Jonouchi said with a smug look on his face.
"Ah? So strong and powerful!" Malik said with admiration, "Give me some advice when you have the chance."
"Well, anytime." Jonouchi immediately held his head high and agreed happily.
"We seem to be friends too..." Malik asked tentatively.
"Yes, friends." Jonouchi admitted.
Seeing this, Malik secretly ordered the three Gulus hunters who were ambushing nearby to take action.
He continued to hold Jonouchi back and said:
"Although it may be a bit abrupt to say this, can you give me some advice on duels now? I want to win at least once in the Duel City."
"No problem, there are still many opportunities. With my advice, you may even be able to enter the finals." Jonouchi agreed without noticing the black-robed Gulus hunters who were approaching him and others.
As Jonouchi was talking, a black-robed man suddenly attacked from behind.
Feeling the strong wind behind him, Jonouchi only had time to turn his head before being punched in the side of the face and flew out.
"Jounouchi!" Anzi shouted worriedly, not knowing what happened.
"Jounouchi!" Malik also looked concerned, and then questioned the black-robed people around him, "What are you doing!?"
"You Gurus have set your sights on the rare card of Jonouchi!" Malik shouted, leading everyone's speculation to other aspects.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a Gurus hunter behind him raised his arm and locked his action.
Then another Gurus hunter punched Malik in the abdomen, making Malik show a painful expression.
Damn, it's so heavy! ? Malik thought uncomfortably.
But before Malik could speak, the Gurus hunter hit Malik's side face with a heavy right hook.
The Gurus hunter behind him let Malik go and fell to the ground.
Then the three Gurus hunters ignored Jonouchi and Anzi next to them, and kicked and punched Malik together, punching him to the flesh.
After all, there are not many opportunities to beat Lord Malik so legitimately, and maybe there will be no more in the future, so naturally we have to work harder.
This is also Lord Malik's order, we are just following orders.
Malik endured the pain under the beating of everyone, and continued to shout with his acting skills:
"Kyoko, Jonouchi, run!"
"Naam!" Kyoko shouted, but did not dare to step forward.
"Ah!!! You are really a bastard!" Jonouchi, who was hit to the ground by the sneak attack, stood up.
"How dare you do this to my companions!!!"
As he said, Jonouchi's physical energy burst out, waving his fist and hitting a Gulus hunter with an uppercut, and then forced back the other two Gulus hunters, and rescued Malik.
"Ah!"
Kyoko's scream attracted Jonouchi's attention.
Jonouchi turned around and saw that Kyoko was locked by the neck with an arm by a Gulus hunter he had just forced back.
"Too filthy, let Anzi go!" Jonouchi clenched his fists and roared.
The other two Gulus hunters also stood up from the ground, approached Jonouchi, and laughed:
"If you dare to fight back, we can't guarantee that your companions will not be in trouble."
In the following battle, Jonouchi was tied up and was soon knocked unconscious by the two Gulus hunters.
The Gulus hunter who caught Anzi also made Anzi unconscious with a knife.
After doing all this, they hurriedly came up to help Malik up and began to ask about his well-being.
"Master Malik, are you okay..."
"No harm, we have already stopped our strength just now..."
"Thanks to Master Malik's self-sacrifice..."
Malik pushed away the men who were supporting him and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth...
Hum, if Lishid hadn't been sent to collect puzzle cards, and Gulus was short of manpower because of You Yong, he wouldn't have to do such a drama.
These three people are really heavy-handed, so they need to be "slightly" punished...
Thinking of this, Malik smiled and said:
"Well done, take them away quickly, I will give you the rewards you deserve later."
The three Gurus hunters were overjoyed and took action quickly.
...
Unlike the sudden disaster in Jonouchi, You Yong called Yuna after boarding the president's plane and told her that he had gone to the finals venue.
After all, Yuna had talked to You Yong before, saying that when she was tired of playing and wanted to go to the finals venue, she could tell her and she would send someone to pick you up.
Through the phone, You Yong learned that Yuna had already gone to the finals venue and was waiting for You Yong to go there.
There was another duelist who had also arrived at the finals venue. According to Yuna's description, You Yong estimated that it should be Malik's sister, Isis.
After hanging up Yuna's phone, You Yong sat in his seat, called up the system interface with his mind, and began to check the rewards.
Because a lot of things happened after the fight with Malik puppet, and then he was dragged by the president to play cards with the masked duo, so You Yong has not yet accepted the rewards.
First of all, the duel victory reward with Malik puppet, the system rewarded... 500,000 crystals! ?
You Yong's face changed slightly, how could it be so high?
"What's wrong, You Yong?" Kaiba noticed the change in You Yong's expression, "If there is anything you forgot, you can say it now. I don't want you to be half-hearted when dueling with me."
"Nothing, President, I just thought of some new tactics." You Yong said casually.
Hum, you didn't even let go of the time on the road to think about new tactics? You are getting more and more interesting, You↑Yong↓, but I am also moving forward all the time.
Kaiba looked at You Yong and began to think about how to print... cough, build new tactics.
And You Yong continued to check the rewards and found that the duel victory reward with the masked duo was less than 40,000 crystals.
You Yong couldn't help but frown. What exactly caused the huge difference in rewards? Normally, the rewards for team duels should be higher.
Comparing the two duels, Malik's duelist level must be higher than that of the masked duo. This should be one of the reasons.
Then there was the duel with Malik. Malik summoned the Abyss "Sky Dragon of Osiris" standing on top of the duel monsters, which is probably one of the reasons.
Finally, Malik has the "Millennium Staff" and used its ability to start a dark duel with high intensity, which is probably one of the reasons.
For a moment, You Yong only thought of these three most likely reasons, and then continued to check the rewards.
While flipping through, You Yong saw a system prompt for a hidden achievement, and opened it to see.
[Decisive Battle of Sky God: Defeat "Sky Dragon of Osiris" in a duel and win the duel. Reward: "Sky Dragon of Osiris" card*1]
You Yong's pupils shrank, and he was overjoyed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Hum, is this because you thought of some useful tactics, so you are in a good mood? It is worthy of being one of the only two opponents I recognize, Kaiba thought to himself after noticing You Yong's expression.
However, Kaiba did not ask You Yong, firstly because he was worried about interrupting You Yong's train of thought (if any), and secondly because he was disdainful of finding out the opponent's tactics.
You Yong thought, and received the "Sky Dragon of Osiris" rewarded by the system, and then checked the effect.
Then, as You Yong expected, it was the effect of the real card version.
You Yong was a little disappointed, but not too surprised, this was something that could be expected, but he just had a fantasy that he shouldn't have.
Wait, it seems that there is still an animated version of the real "Sky Dragon of Osiris" lying in his card.
Thinking of this, You Yong quickly opened the system warehouse and found the red and conspicuous "Sky Dragon of Osiris".
You Yong used the system to analyze the effect of the animated version of "Sky Dragon of Osiris", after all, the description on the card was too confusing.
Soon, the system analyzed and translated the effect of the animated version of "Sky Dragon of Osiris", and then let us worship the heroic figure of the legendary god of the underworld.
Name: Sky Dragon of Osiris
Level: 10
Attribute: God
Race: Abyss
Attack: ?
Defense: ?
Rule text:
When this card is Normal Summoned, you must release 3 cards for Summoning. The Summoning of this card will not be invalidated.
The control of this card on the field cannot be changed, and no card can be equipped.
This card on the field is not affected by the effects of Trap Cards. The effects of Magic Cards are only effective for one turn, and it will not leave the field due to the effects of Magic Cards.
This card on the field is not affected by the effects of the opponent's monsters except those above 10 stars. The effects of the opponent's monsters above 10 stars and your own monsters are only effective for one turn.
Effect text:
①The attack and defense of this card increase by the number of cards in your hand × 1000.
②Activate when the opponent successfully summons a monster, reverses the summon, or special summons it. According to the display form (attack/defense) of those monsters, reduce the corresponding ability value by 2000 points. If it becomes 0, the monster is destroyed.
③ If this card is in face-up Defense Position and a monster on your side of the field leaves the field due to an opponent's effect, you can send this card to the Graveyard as a replacement.
④ If this card is Special Summoned, activate this card during the End Phase. Send this card to the Graveyard.
After watching the effects of the animated version of "Osiris Sky Dragon", Yu Yong was shocked.
Is this the animated version of the Phantom God that combines all the divine powers and has extreme single-card strength! ?
With this effect, the animated version of the Phantom God is really worthy of its position at the top of the pyramid in the Duel Monster world.
In comparison, the real card version of the Phantom God is simply a shame for the Phantom God family, especially a certain Phantom God who has lost even the classic ability to resurrect.
Most of the effects of the animated version of "Osiris Sky Dragon" are consistent with Yu Yong's impression of the anime in his previous life.
It has the common Phantom God version rule text, and the effect of Article ③ instead of sending to the graveyard also reminds Yu Yong of a scene in the anime where Wang Yang fights Malik.
At that time, Wang Yang had the God of Destruction "Obelisk's Giant God" on the field, and then Dark Malik made "Pterosaur" resurrect as usual, hoping to use the grave-sending effect of "Pterosaur" to bury Wang Yang's last god.
Later, Wang Yang activated the magic card "Resurrection of the Dead" to revive "Osiris Sky Dragon" in the graveyard, and used it as a shield to block the fatal blow of "Winged Dragon of the Sun God" for "Obelisk's Giant God".
Now it seems that it should be the effect of "Osiris Sky Dragon" that replaced the grave-sending effect.
It is normal for the "God of the Underworld" to have the power to replace death, right?
The description in the above rule text that the effect of your own monster is only effective for one round also reminds You Yong of a scene in the animation.
At that time, Wang Yang and Kaiba were in the semi-finals, and Kaiba used one of his own small fish monsters to increase the attack power of the God of Destruction "Obelisk's Giant God".
Although it is only effective for one round, it also shows that the god's control of the monster effect on his side is not as strict as that on the opponent.
But this is a good thing, because using monster effects on your own gods is mostly beneficial. After all, who would be so idle as to debuff their own phantom gods?
And according to the above description, "not affected by the effects of the opponent except those above level 10".
In other words, in terms of monster effects, phantom gods are only affected by the effects of monsters above level 10 on the opponent.
That is to say, monsters without levels such as Xyz and Link that appear in the Yu-Gi-Oh animation later cannot defeat the phantoms by their effects.
You can only use the simple battle break and invincible cost to make the phantoms on the opponent's field exit.
As for why it is not directly described as "only affected by the effects of monsters above level 10 on the opponent's side".
That is because such a description means that the phantoms are completely unaffected by the effects of magic traps. (Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it. The description method is not the point. Just know the meaning.)
In summary, it is to strictly guard against the effects of the opponent's monsters, and give a break to the effects of your own monsters.
A small explosion, by the way, in this chapter, I explained the phantom effects of this game, which should basically be in line with the animation performance, and some nonsense places are also reasonably rounded up. Overall, it should still be worthy of the phantom's face.
