Chapter 1330: The Descending God

"When King's Knight and Queen's Knight are both on the field, Special Summon 'Jack's Knight' from the Deck!"

The last knight, a blond knight with a righteous face, flew out, his silver armor shining on his body, holding a shining long sword in his hand.

【Jack's Knight, ATK 1900】

If following the physical cards, when Queen's Knight is on the field, the effect to Special Summon Jack's Knight from the Deck can only be activated when "King's Knight" is Normal Summoned.

But in the anime, Atem activated this ability more than once when Special Summoning King's Knight, so although the description of King's Knight's effect in the anime says "activated when summoned," it probably satisfies this condition for any form of summoning, such as Normal Summon, Special Summon, or Flip Summon.

In this way, King, Queen, and Jack, all three knights were gathered on Yugi's field. In the original work, this combination was called the "Three Musketeers of the Summoning God," the fixed trio Atem used specifically to gather sacrifices for summoning the Egyptian Gods.

From the perspective of physical cards, this trio combination actually just saves one Normal Summon, which is far from efficient for gathering sacrifices for the three Egyptian Gods. However, in later generations, this trio was also strengthened; Konami released a deck themed around these JQK poker Three Musketeers and intentionally tied them to the Egyptian Gods.

This upgraded deck not only can quickly, efficiently, and stably gather the trio of sacrifices, but also possesses the ability to search and dispatch the Egyptian Gods, making the appearance of the Egyptian Gods, which were originally difficult to dispatch and cumbersome to summon, very easy.

If it weren't for the fact that the physical card version of the three Egyptian Gods was castrated so severely that even if summoned, they would be three pieces of trash, the JQK Egyptian God deck might really have had a fighting chance.

"Oh? Gathered so quickly, the Three Musketeers of the Summoning God."

Anubis sneered.

"Let me guess, Nameless Pharaoh. The King's most loyal servants, the Egyptian God cards, are already in your hands, right?"

Dark Yugi didn't speak, only watching him vigilantly.

"I'm looking forward to it," Anubis said lightly, taking out another hand card. "Set a card, turn end."

"My turn, draw card!" Dark Yugi said. "Activate Magic Card 'Pot of Greed', draw two cards from the Deck!"

In the DM era, whether in real-life competition or the anime environment, it was a must-have for everyone, the universal Pot of Greed, the green, cheap head appeared on the field, and Dark Yugi drew two cards.

In fact, Anubis's guess was not wrong; Dark Yugi had indeed drawn an Egyptian God at this time.

He looked down at his hand, his gaze falling on the "Slifer the Sky Dragon" in his hand.

If following his usual normal operations, now that the sacrifices were gathered, he should definitely summon Slifer. The God is invincible... or rather, almost invincible. Although Dark Yugi had always advocated that "there is no card a duelist cannot overcome," even he had to admit that summoning an Egyptian God could allow him to gain a huge advantage.

But what was up with the opponent's calm attitude?

It looked as if the opponent had guessed that he had an Egyptian God in his hand and had gathered the sacrifices on the field, yet he acted as if it were irrelevant, as if he were not afraid of the God's descent at all, feeling secure in the knowledge that he had backing.

Dark Yugi hesitated for a few seconds, but quickly cast aside the extra thoughts.

Don't be disturbed by the opponent and break your own rhythm. The Egyptian God is his strongest trump card; once summoned, it almost secures the victory.

"I offer 'Queen's Knight', 'King's Knight', and 'Jack's Knight' as sacrifices!" Dark Yugi shouted. "Offer three monsters as sacrifices! Appear!

Pierce through the Underworld and reality, and revive in the time of thunder and chaos—

—God of the Underworld, Slifer the Sky Dragon!"

The sky changed color in an instant, and thunder seemed to pierce through Dartz's great hall. Lightning carried the body of the red giant dragon as it descended, blasting a scorched black hole in the ground.

The winding and long red dragon body, the head had two mouths, upper and lower; the lower mouth had golden lightning, and the upper mouth spat out pale blue lightning, and even the dragon's roar seemed to contain electric current. The Judge of Hell, the Egyptian God Slifer the Sky Dragon!

Anubis looked up directly at the churning divine dragon, facing that divine might, but there was no fear in his eyes, instead revealing a light with a hint of excitement.

"Has it finally appeared, the Egyptian God!" Anubis said.

But this made Dark Yugi feel even stranger in his heart.

This guy really wasn't afraid of the Egyptian God's pressure at all...

However, he continued: "Slifer's ATK is determined by the duelist's hand cards. Now I have three cards in my hand, so Slifer the Sky Dragon's ATK is 3000!"

【Slifer the Sky Dragon, ATK 3000】

"Battle!" Dark Yugi said. "Slifer, attack 'Tawa Scimitar Demon - Master Swordsmanship'!

Super Conduction Wave - Thunder Cannon!"

Slifer's lower mouth opened, and a cannon-like beam of light surrounded by golden lightning pierced through the body of the Tawa Scimitar Demon, blasting the scimitar demon into fragments in one strike.

【Anubis, LP4000 -> LP3400】

"Turn end," Dark Yugi said.

At the same time, he frowned again. This person received the real damage impact of the Egyptian God, although it was only 600 points, he still didn't change his expression as if he had no pain at all...

Sure enough, not an ordinary opponent.

But Dark Yugi still couldn't figure out where the opponent's confidence in facing the Egyptian God came from.

"My turn, draw card."

Anubis drew a card, then calmly took out another Magic Card from his hand.

"Activate Magic Card 'Forced Summon'!" Anubis said. "This card forces the opponent player to choose one monster on their field, and then Special Summon as many monsters of the same race as that monster from the Deck as possible!" (Anime card)

Dark Yugi couldn't help but feel suspicious when he saw this card.

Special Summon as many as possible on his own field, but the only card on his field now is Slifer, which is a Divine-Beast race.

This guy is not only not afraid of the Egyptian God, but actually hopes that he will summon more Gods to the field?

"What's wrong, Nameless Pharaoh? What are you afraid of?" Anubis shouted. "Come on, show all your Gods!"

Dark Yugi pondered for a moment and said: "Although I don't know what you are doing, you will regret your arrogance."

As he spoke, a golden light and a blue glow shot out from the Deck, flying high into the sky, and in the shining brilliance, they materialized into two entities respectively.

A blue giant standing tall, its head almost touching the clouds, its whole body's muscles seemingly filled with nearly explosive power.

A golden sphere like the sun, emitting holy and scorching brilliance, gradually spread its wings and transformed into a bird shape, turning into a burning golden giant bird that covered the sky and sun.

The Winged Dragon of Ra, Obelisk the Tormentor, Summon!

The three Egyptian Gods, descend! ===== CHAPTER 1331 =====
