There's no next turn. Yuki interrupted her, "My turn, draw a card! The new card I drew is the Evil God - Avatar of God."
Activate the effect of Cradle of Evil Gods! Special Summon Evil God Abaddon from the Graveyard! The third evil god descends, a deformed giant composed of countless arms. ATK: ?. Abaddon's effect! This card's ATK equals the combined ATK of all other monsters on the field!
Currently, there is a Fearbringer with 4000 attack power and an Annihilator with 3800 attack power on the field, therefore Abaddon's attack power is 7800.
Battle! Abaddon attacks the Red Baron! A crushing defeat of 7800 against 2800, Blood Rose's health points drop to zero. She lets out a scream of despair as her body begins to dissipate into a bloody mist.
Shadow has won again! The host's voice was full of awe. Tomorrow, he will enter the final of the Five Weapons of Qun Yishan Jiu Liushan, and his opponent is... Lord Dark Night himself!
Back in the lounge, Yuuki noticed the Three Evil Gods deck emitting an unusual purple light. Upon touching it, a memory suddenly flooded his mind—a thousand years ago, seven duelists used seven dark decks to seal away an entity attempting to devour the world. Now, six seals have been broken, and Lord Dark Night is searching for the seventh… the chaotic code within Yuuki.
Asuka pulled up the data analysis: Lord Dark Night is most likely using the Dark Night deck, a forbidden deck that can control the souls of dark duelists.
Saya clung tightly to Yuuki's arm: It's too dangerous! Can we...?
We must face it. Yuki looked at the trembling evil god deck in his hand. If the Chaos Code is the final seal, then I have a responsibility to protect it.
On the day of the finals, the entire Dark Night Arena was packed with fanatical dark duelists. The central platform floated in mid-air, surrounded by seven burning braziers. As Yuki stepped onto the platform, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows opposite him—Lord Dark Night was shrouded in a long black robe, his face covered by a white mask devoid of features.
We've finally met, successor to the Chaos Code 0... The voice of the night is like a mixture of countless voices; your soul... will be the final key.
DUEL!
First strike is mine. Dark Night's movements are elegant and precise; he activates the spell card Dark Night Descent! He adds one Dark Night monster from his deck to his hand. He chooses Dark Knight Death Harvester.
Normal Summon Night Servant in Attack Position. A servant dressed entirely in black appears with 1000 ATK. Night Servant's effect: Add Night Castle from your Deck to your hand.
Activate the Field Spell: Dark Castle! The entire arena transforms into the interior of a Gothic castle, with eerie light and shadows projected through the stained-glass windows. Then activate the Continuous Spell: Dark Ball! Once per turn, you can Special Summon one Dark Monster from your hand.
Special Summon Night Knight Death Reaper! A black knight riding a skeletal warhorse appears with 2400 ATK. Death Reaper's effect adds Night Ritual from your Deck to your hand.
Set two cards face down to end your turn. The Dark Night field now contains two monsters, one Field Spell, one Continuous Spell, and two face-down cards in the back row.
Yuki felt the oppressive aura emanating from his opponent. This wasn't just ordinary dark energy; it was something older and more malevolent. My turn, draw a card. His hand consisted of Evil God: Source of Fear, Evil God's Ritual, Evil God's Eye, and two traps.
Activate the Spell Card "Ritual of the Evil God"! Send Evil God - Source of Fear from your hand to the Graveyard, and add Evil God - Annihilator from your Deck to your hand. Yuuki's maneuver is steady and methodical, followed by a Normal Summon of Evil God's Eye in Defense Position.
The effect of the Evil God's Eye: View one of your face-down cards. Yuuki chose the card on the left, which was Dark Night Rebirth. Three cards are face-down; end turn.
My turn, draw a card. The voice of the night, filled with pleasure, activates the spell card Night Ritual! Tribute the Night Servant on the field and the Night Banshee in my hand!
An altar phantom appeared on the field, and two monsters were swallowed by darkness. Ritual Summoning! Night Lord, Eternal Night King! A black figure wearing a crown descended, with an attack power of 3000.
The Night King's effect! The night roars: If this card is Special Summoned, you can add one Night Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand! I choose Night Domination!
Then, I unleash the quick-attack spell, Dark Night Assault! This turn, my Dark Night Monster can attack twice! Dark Night launches a fierce attack, and the Night King attacks the Eye of the Evil God! 3000 attack power destroys the eyeball. Death Reaper attacks directly! 2400 damage reduces Yuki's HP to 76002.4.
"End of round," Dark Night whispered. "Your resistance is futile."
Yuki's fingertips trembled slightly, not from fear, but because the Evil God deck was resonating with the Chaos Code. My turn, draw a card. The new card is Evil God Awakening.
Unleash the Continuous Spell: God of Destruction! Special Summon God of Destruction from your hand! A dark sphere descends, its ATK calculated based on Night King's power, totaling 4000. The Destroyer's effect! Destroy Night King!
A dark ray of light shoots towards Night Lord, but Night Lord immediately retaliates: Activate the Trap Card Night Domination! Negate your monster effect and destroy that card! Annihilator is countered and destroyed.
Battle! Undeterred, Yuki unleashed a direct attack with the Eye of the Evil God! 1000 attack power reduced Dark Night's HP to 7000. End of round.
A futile struggle. As the card is drawn in the darkness, the shadow beneath the mask seems to writhe, activating the Spell Card Dark Night Rebirth! Special Summon Night King from the Graveyard!
The Dark Lord returns once more. The effect of Night King! Add Night's End from your Deck to your hand! The voice of the night gradually distorts, then activates the effect of the Field Spell Dark Castle! Once per turn, you can Special Summon one Night Monster from your hand.
Special Summon Night Banshee! A seductive female silhouette appears with 1800 ATK. Stack two monsters on top of each other! Night Banshee raises her hands, Xyz Summoning! Night Banshee: Eternal Night!
Chapter 302 The Little Mermaid
A colossal figure composed entirely of darkness descends, possessing an attack power of 4500 and radiating a suffocating aura of oppression. The effect of Eternal Night! Removes one Xyz Material, allowing you to attack twice this turn!
Battle! Eternal Night attacks directly! 4500 damage reduces Yuuki's life points to 3100. Second attack! Just as the attack is about to hit, Yuuki activates his face-down card: Trap Card Evil God's Intimidation! My life points won't drop below 1 this turn!
The dark shockwave was blocked by the golden barrier, and Yuuki's health points remained at 1. The audience erupted in commotion, and Dark Night was visibly stunned: Impossible... This is... the power of the Chaos Code?
Golden data began to flow in Yuki's pupils: My turn, draw! The newly drawn card is Evil God - Avatar of God. When he held this card, the Three Evil Gods deck suddenly trembled violently, and three Evil God monsters automatically flew out of the graveyard, spinning and fusing in front of him.
The final phase of the Chaos Protocol is activated! Yuuki's voice echoes twice, banishing the Evil God's Eye from the field, the Evil God of Terror from the graveyard, and the Evil God of Annihilation! Special Summon—
Dark energy formed a gigantic cocoon, from which emerged an unprecedented being—the Evil God of the End Dragon: Origin of Chaos, with an attack power of ?, its entire body covered in flowing dark gold armor.
The effect of the End Dragon! Yuki's voice echoed in the castle. This card's attack power is equal to the difference between the two players' life points multiplied by 3! The current difference is 6999, and the attack power is as high as 20997.
Battle! The Final Dragon attacks Eternal Night! Its dark golden breath completely engulfs the Dark Lord, the aftershocks striking Night herself. Cracks appear on the white mask, and Night's health drops to zero.
The entire Dark Night Castle began to collapse, and the mask of Dark Night finally shattered, revealing a face that shocked Yuki—it was another Yuki, only with completely black eyes.
Did you think it was over? The voice in the dark suddenly sounded exactly like Yuki's; this was just the beginning... When all seven seals are broken... we will meet again.
His body dissipated into black mist, leaving behind only a pitch-black card box. When Yuki picked it up, he sensed the immense dark energy contained within—this was a fragment of the seventh seal.
Upon returning to the capital, Yuuki sealed the Three Evil Gods deck and the Dark Night Card Box deep within the Chaos Code. Asuka's research indicated that Lord Dark Night was merely an avatar of an even more ancient being. Meanwhile, Sayo noticed that a glint of 06 dark gold occasionally flashed in Yuuki's pupils—a sign of the fusion of the Chaos Code and the power of the Evil Gods.
"What's next?" Asuka asked, bringing up the seven flashing red dots on the world map. The other six Dark Cards were still out there.
Yuki gazed into the distance: Continue the journey, collect these cards. He touched the Chaos Code on his chest, "Before the true darkness awakens... we must be prepared."
Xiaoye held Yuki's hand: Wherever you go, I will follow you.
A new journey is about to begin, with even more formidable enemies awaiting them. But at this moment, the three figures silhouetted against the setting sun appear incredibly resolute. The power of evil gods, chaotic code, magical energy... these forces will eventually converge, composing a legendary duel that transcends time and space.
Yuki stood before the Blue-Eyes White Dragon Gate of the Duelist's Tavern in the port city, the salty sea breeze brushing against his face. For three months, he had been tracking down clues to the scattered Dark Deck, and this city called Azure Harbor was said to be the last place where one of the Dark Deck cards appeared.
"Lord Yuki, this is it!" Xiaoye excitedly tugged at his sleeve. The star decoration on the top of his magic wand sparkled in the sunlight. It's said that the proprietress here is a legendary duelist!
Asuka adjusted her glasses and pulled up the holographic profile: Mana Azure, 37 years old, uses a mermaid deck, and was a three-time consecutive champion of Azure Harbor. Strangely, she suddenly retired at the peak of her career and opened this tavern.
Pushing open the oak door, you're greeted by the aroma of ale and a lively chatter. The tavern's interior is decorated in a ship's cabin style, with walls covered in various dueling disks and autographed cards. The most eye-catching feature is behind the bar—a woman in a navy blue dress is wiping glasses, her long, silvery-white hair cascading down like a waterfall, a beauty mark at the corner of her eye adding a touch of melancholy to her mature and alluring face.
A new guest? She looked up, her emerald eyes widening slightly the moment she saw Yuki—the shadow who had defeated Lord Dark Night?
The noise in the tavern abruptly ceased, and all eyes were fixed on You Ji. He awkwardly tugged at his collar: he was just passing by...
"I'm Mana." The proprietress stepped out from behind the bar, her navy blue dress swaying gently with her steps. "If you don't mind, could we have an exhibition match? Just to broaden the horizons of these young brats." She gestured to the eager young duelists around her.
Just as Yuuki was about to politely decline, Xiaoye jumped up and raised her hand: Of course! Lord Yuuki just recently acquired a new Poseidon deck!
Asuka sighed and whispered to Yuuki, "I checked, and her mermaid deck might indeed contain clues to the Dark Deck."
The exhibition match took place in an open-air dueling arena in the tavern's backyard. The wooden platform was surrounded by a water channel, clearly designed specifically for the Mermaid deck. Spectators, drawn by the news, quickly filled the stands, with some even climbing nearby palm trees.
Exhibition match rules: 4000 life points, first turn, no card draw. Mana unfolds her seashell-shaped duel disk with graceful, dance-like movements. Shall the guest go first?
Yuuki nodded and took out his newly assembled Sea Emperor deck. He had won this deck from a pirate duelist last week, and it was perfect for a water-based field. "My turn, I summon Sea Emperor's Heavy Soldier, in defense position." A clad in armor appeared and sank into the ditch.
Cover two cards, end the turn. Yuki's conservative opening drew boos from the audience.
Mana chuckled: So gentlemanly? Then I won't be polite. Her card-drawing motion was fluid and graceful, activating the field spell "Song of the Sea!" All mermaid monsters' attack power increased by 300.
The arena instantly transforms into a dreamlike underwater world, with ethereal images of coral and bubbles drifting around. Summon the Mermaid Princess, attack stance! A beautiful mermaid wielding a trident appears, with an attack power of 1900.
The Mermaid Princess's effect adds Mermaid Sniper to your hand from your deck. Mana continues her combo, then activates the Spell Card Mermaid's Temptation! Special Summon Mermaid Sniper from your hand!
The second mermaid warrior appears, with an attack power of 1600. Battle! The mermaid princess attacks your heavy infantry! Although the attack power is higher, the heavy infantry is in defensive stance, and Yuuki takes no damage.
The mermaid sniper attacks directly! 1600 damage reduces Yuuki's HP to 2400. End of turn. Mana blinked. Time to get serious?
Yuki then noticed that Mana's every move possessed an indescribable charm, captivating even the women in the audience. He composed himself: My turn, draw a card.
The newly drawn card is Poseidon's Dragon Riders. Activate the Spell Card Poseidon's Roar! Special Summon Poseidon's Dragon Riders from your hand! The Murloc Knight riding a sea dragon appears, with 1800 ATK.
Then activate the Trap Card Sea Emperor's Torrent! Return all face-up monsters on your field to your hand! A sudden giant wave swept away two mermaid warriors.
Battle! The Dragon Riders attack directly! Their 1800 attack reduces Mana's HP to 2200. End of turn.
Mana calmly tidied her silver hair, ruffled by the sea breeze: "What a sharp counterattack!" As she drew her card, the seashell bracelet on her wrist jingled, activating the Spell Card "Mermaid's Call!" Special Summon Mermaid Princess and Mermaid Sniper from the Graveyard!
The two mermaid warriors have returned, their attack power increased to 2200 and 1900 respectively. Then, I activate the quick-attack spell, Mermaid's Tear! My monster can attack twice this turn!
战斗！人鱼公主攻击龙骑队！2200对1800，游纪生命值降至2000。人鱼狙击兵直接攻击！1900的伤害让游纪生命值仅剩100。
Second wave of attack! Mana waved her hand, and the mermaid princess and mermaid sniper launched an attack!
At the critical moment, Yuuki activated his face-down card: Trap Card Sea Emperor's Revenge! When I am directly attacked, I can Special Summon a Sea Emperor monster from my Deck! Descend, Megalodon, Sea Emperor!
A massive shark burst from the water, boasting 2400 attack power, and blocked a fatal blow. Megalodon's effect! When Special Summoned, destroy one card on the field! I choose your Field Spell!
Haiyuan's song was torn apart by the sharks, and the mermaids' attack power returned to normal. The round ended. Mana breathed a slight sigh of relief; that was a close call.
Yuki looked at his remaining 100 health points, and at the Sea Emperor's Assault Trooper and Sea Emperor's Roar cards in his hand. He had to decide the outcome this turn. My turn, draw!
The new item I drew is Poseidon's Trident. The perfect terminator.
Activate the Spell Card "Sea Emperor's Roar"! Special Summon Sea Emperor's Assault Soldier from your hand! A harpoon-wielding Murloc warrior appears with 1400 ATK. Then equip the Spell Card "Sea Emperor's Trident"! Equip it on Megalodon, increasing its ATK by 800!
巨齿鲨的攻击力飙升至3200。战斗！巨齿鲨攻击人鱼公主！3200对1600，玛娜生命值降至600。突击兵攻击人鱼狙击兵！1400对1000，玛娜生命值归零。
Thunderous applause and whistles erupted from the audience. Mana gracefully curtsied and walked up to Yuuki: "It's been a long time since I've had such a satisfying duel." A faint ocean scent wafted from her, lingering around Yuuki's nose. "Interested in staying for a few days as a special bartender? I can tell you about the whereabouts of the Deep Sea Diva deck."
Before Yuki could answer, Sayo had already squeezed between the two: Of course I'm willing! Right, Lord Yuki? She puffed out her cheeks, her magic wand intentionally or unintentionally positioned between Mana and Yuki.
That evening, as Yuki was organizing his card deck in a guest room on the second floor of the tavern, there was a gentle knock on the door. Mana walked in carrying two blue cocktails: "Try my special Mermaid Tears."
Yuki took the wine glass, his fingertips accidentally brushing against Mana's hand, a subtle electric current seeming to surge from the point of contact. Regarding the Deep Sea Diva deck...
"Don't rush me." Mana sat down by the window, the moonlight gilding her long, silvery hair with a blue edge. "Tell me first, what is your real purpose in collecting the Dark Deck?"
After a moment of silence, Youji decided to be frank: To prevent the awakening of an ancient being, the Chaos Code chose me...
"Chaotic code?" Mana suddenly stood up, her long dress sweeping across the floor. "So you're the successor." Her expression became complicated. "Three years ago, the reason I retired was because I foresaw this disaster."
She walked towards Yuki and gently cupped his face: "Do you know? The most special ability of the Mermaid deck is not field control, but..." She suddenly leaned closer and whispered in Yuki's ear, "to see through people's hearts."
Yuki's ears instantly burned. Mana took a step back and took out a card that glowed blue from her pocket: This is Deep Sea Diva Siren, one of the fragments of the Dark Deck. If you want it, come with me somewhere tomorrow.
After the door closed, Yuki realized his heart was beating unusually fast. He picked up the Siren card, and the mermaid on the card winked at him.
The next morning, Mana changed into a short skirt and boots for ease of movement and took Yuki to the harbor. "We're going to Mermaid Reef," she said, "where an ancient temple lies submerged." She untied the mooring ropes of the small boat; they could only enter on the night of the full moon.
As the small boat sailed out to sea, Yuki noticed a faint, scaly reflection behind Mana's ear. You...aren't you a normal human?
Mana chuckled: "I am the last mermaid hybrid. That's why I can use a true mermaid deck." She suddenly pointed into the distance, "Look, that's Mermaid Reef."
A black reef rose from the sea, shaped like a singing mermaid. Mana parked the small boat and took a pearl from her bosom: "Hold this, and come with me."
Surprisingly, as they dived, the pearl formed a bubble-like air envelope. As Mana descended, the underwater scenery gradually became clear—a temple built of coral and mother-of-pearl stood silently among the reefs.
The temple's interior was filled with glowing plankton, illuminating the ancient murals on the walls. Mana swam to the central altar, where a seashell-shaped box lay. The Deep Sea Diva deck was inside, but a specific incantation was required to open it.
She turned to Yuki, her expression more serious than ever before: "One last question, are you willing to take on the responsibility of a guardian? This means you can never return to a normal life."
