Chapter 480: The Moment of Reckoning

"You summoned it? Did it succeed!?"

The man on the other side of the terminal screen was so excited that he almost pressed his entire face against the lens; Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan subconsciously tilted his head to avoid his big head.

That was Franz, a top card designer at Industrial Illusions, and also the person specifically responsible for the research and development of The Winged Dragon of Ra among the three Egyptian Gods.

The "Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode" that Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan used was developed in cooperation with him.

Although he had summoned it before, those were all summoning tests conducted in the laboratory. When conducting tests, there were specialized protective measures—for high-risk subjects like Egyptian God development and research, protective measures were naturally necessary.

As everyone knows, the Egyptian Gods are among the most dangerous cards in the world; back then, even the designers at Industrial Illusions who first took over the development of the Egyptian Gods either died or went insane, and it was only when Pegasus, who held the power of the Millennium Eye at that time, took action himself that the development was completed. Such cards, whether in development design or summoning use, would be accompanied by the risk of inviting divine punishment.

Now, ten years later, Industrial Illusions has long since perfected the safety measures for this type of high-risk scientific research work. Even the divine punishment of the Egyptian Gods is not impossible to avoid, provided that various protective measures are in place in the laboratory.

It's just that in the past, one could only rely on technological protection, making preparations in advance in specific venues, so that test personnel could briefly attempt to use cards related to the Egyptian Gods—and only within that brief time limit.

The first person to successfully develop a means to avoid divine punishment in actual combat and bypass the usage restrictions of the Egyptian Gods was this genius designer, Franz. The Field Spell "Mound of the Bound Creator" he developed had such an ability, but because it was through the brutal method of binding the Egyptian Gods, it was ultimately judged to be a crooked path with huge risks and was not officially adopted by the company.

"How do you feel now? Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable?"

Franz was very excited.

He had already been very excited when he first heard that Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan had summoned The Winged Dragon of Ra, and after Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan proposed the idea of the bird egg, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep at night.

Directly eating the opponent's monsters on the field to send a god-level bird egg to the opponent was a path that even an expert like him, who had studied it for ten years, had never imagined. He really didn't expect that The Winged Dragon of Ra, as the strongest Egyptian God, still hid such an opening method.

Just imagining the opponent's reaction to being eaten by the bird egg across the entire field made this designer feel excited.

Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan: "No, I feel very good."

"What about the opponent? Did they have any adverse reactions?"

Franz continued to ask excitedly.

"Did they rush up to beat you up?"

"Did they have a cerebral hemorrhage directly?"

Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan: "..."

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that this Franz didn't seem to be like this before.

Since when he didn't know, the genius designer's philosophy on card design seemed to have quietly undergone some changes...

However, Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan could understand very well.

Just like this egg of The Winged Dragon of Ra, the joy of eating the opponent's field with an egg designed by one's own hands and watching the opponent's hysterical and even murderous reaction is something others won't understand.

It seems Franz has finally found the joy of card design now...

"Why don't you come over, I'll give you a check-up," Franz said. "By the way, I have a few new cards in development, also inspired by you, and I feel they will definitely be very interesting! When you come over, we can talk about it properly..."

"Next time," Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan interrupted hurriedly. "I still have some urgent matters to deal with right now, I just reacted to you because I just tried out the Sphere Mode of The Winged Dragon of Ra.

I have already sent over all the duel data I just obtained; you can take a look first. After I finish my work here, we can talk slowly in person when there is time."

After speaking, he hung up in a hurry before Franz could speak again.

He organized his deck, ate something simple, and then prepared to set off. Today is the day of reckoning for Jaden.

Supreme King's Castle.

"Supreme King?"

The Supreme King on the throne slowly opened his eyes.

Crouching in front of him was one of the Supreme King's most trusted subordinates, the leader of the "Five-Man Group" by his side, Guardian Baou.

Guardian Baou, Level 4, Fiend-Type, ATK 800. Can only be summoned when "Axe of Despair" exists on one's own field; when it destroys an opponent's monster in battle and sends it to the Graveyard, its own ATK increases by 1000 points. And the effects of monsters destroyed by this card in battle are negated.

This card belongs to the "Guardian" deck, which is the deck used by Rafael, one of the Doma trio in "Yu-Gi-Oh! DM"—that is, the duelist who legendarily defeated the Pharaoh Atem head-on.

Baou is exactly one of the Guardians in this deck, but by the time it reached "Yu-Gi-Oh! GX," it also joined the re-employment army, threw itself under the Supreme King's command in the Spirit World, and is still one of the most frequently appearing trusted aides by the Supreme King's side in the anime.

"The Supreme King has returned."

Baou immediately began to flatter.

"Presumably those foolish intruders who dared to challenge the Supreme King's authority have already been smashed to pieces at this time, falling into the abyss of darkness in endless regret. Hahaha..."

This book is updated recently at ##!! Update!

But halfway through his laughter, he met the Supreme King's gaze, which was as if he wanted to kill, and the laughter was immediately swallowed back into his stomach; he couldn't laugh anymore.

Baou hurriedly knelt on the ground, lowering his head and not daring to speak, not knowing which flattery had hit the horse's leg. This murderous aura made him feel that the Supreme King seemed ready to cut off his head at any moment if there was a disagreement.

However, it was of course impossible for the Supreme King to tell his subordinate that he himself had almost fallen into the abyss of darkness just now...

He was careless. He never expected that there would be such a duelist in the other world who didn't play by the rules, and even less did he expect that there would be a god like a bird egg in the other world that didn't play by the rules.

Kuriboh's finishing slap still made the Supreme King's face ache faintly even now...

A gentleman does not take revenge for such a grudge. If he could endure such an insult, what kind of Supreme King would he be in the future?

"Notify the whole army," the Supreme King rose from the throne. "Prepare to welcome the battle."

He didn't know how many people had come to invade his territory. But he knew that the duelist he had just encountered must be among them; the strength of this person goes without saying, and the level of insidiousness is even more something one has to guard against.

Just this one person alone was already a formidable enemy he had rarely encountered in his life, and he must deal with it with all his might.

Not to mention, there was also that guy he could feel had an inextricable connection with himself, like the opposite of his own personality, who should also be coming soon.

The Supreme King had fought countless battles in his life, but the next one would be the most dangerous battle of his life.

"Battle?"

Guardian Baou was full of confusion, couldn't help but raise his head to secretly look at the Supreme King, and asked cautiously.

"What battle? Are we going to attack somewhere?"

"Right here."

The Supreme King said coldly.

"They are coming."
