Chapter 56: Thinking About Destroying the World All Day—Can You Even Play Cards Well?

"It's my first turn, big shot!" This book is originally published on Tiantian Kan Xiaoshuo -> ttkx. tw, offering you a reading experience with no errors and no out-of-order chapters.

Mo Liang was the first to declare first turn.

"Draw..."

"Wait!" You Tian immediately raised his hand to interrupt Mo Liang.

Mo Liang frowned.

"What? Didn't you challenge me to a Duel? Are you trying to stall me?"

You Tian shook his head, turned to look at Malik, who had just sighed in relief, then punched him squarely in the abdomen with a thud.

Puff! Malik immediately curled up on the bed.

Isis:!

Mo Liang:?

"I heard you wanted to kill me?" You Tian asked Malik with a teasing tone.

Malik was on the verge of tears.

I was just talking big! If I'd known you were hiding under the bed, I wouldn't have dared say that even with ten times my courage!

"No no no, Brother You, you misunderstood!"

"What did you just call me?!" You Tian raised his righteous iron fist again.

"Brother-in-law... no, Dad! I'm sorry!" Malik immediately knelt down on the bed.

Isis:...

Mo Liang:??

Seeing Malik's posture, You Tian finally nodded in satisfaction.

He turned his head back.

"Alright, continue. The warm-up's over."

Mo Liang:...

"It's my turn, big shot! Draw!"

"I'm activating a Magic Card from my hand: 【Angel's Charity】."

"According to this card's effect, I'll draw three cards from my Deck and discard two."

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Seeing the drawn cards, Mo Liang chuckled darkly.

"Next, I'll send 【Earthbound Immortal】 and 【Artistic Hider】 from my hand to the Graveyard."

Summoning Fiend-Type monsters to the Graveyard right away? You Tian paused slightly.

"I'll also Set one monster and place one card face-down. That ends my turn!"

"Swoosh, your turn."

You Tian nodded.

"My turn. Draw."

Beside him, Isis: "You can do it, Mr. You Tian."

Also beside him, Malik: "Whether we live or die depends on you, You Tian!"

"Huh?!" You Tian shot him a threatening glare.

"Oh, Dad!" Malik immediately corrected himself.

"Hmm, that's better." You Tian turned back, satisfied.

Isis:...

You Tian narrowed his eyes, fixing his gaze on Mo Liang's face-down card.

Only one back-row card? Then I'll use a weak monster to test the trap.

"I Summon 【Giant Rat】 in Attack Position."

Hum~ A giant rat appeared on You Tian's field.

【Attack Power: 1400】

"Attack! I'll use 【Giant Rat】 to target your face-down monster. Go!"

No sooner had he spoken than the rat charged straight at Mo Liang's face-down monster.

Sss! The rat's claws slashed down—the face-down monster flipped over.

【Giant Virus】【Defense Power: 100】

"Aha hahaha! Fell for it, You Tian! The 【Giant Virus】 I Set has a special effect!"

"When this card is destroyed by battle, you take 500 points of damage!"

You Tian: Damn! Why's it this thing?

【You Tian LP: 4000→3500】

At the very moment You Tian's Life Points dropped, something in the surrounding darkness seemed to draw closer to the three of them.

"There's something in the dark!" Isis cried out.

"Took you long enough to notice!" Mo Liang sneered.

"Four Millennium Artifacts have gathered in this room. Do you really think this is an ordinary Duel?"

As he spoke, Mo Liang pointed at the three of them.

"When You Tian loses this Duel, all three of you will become fuel for the darkness! Hahaha!"

"Yami no game?!" Malik and Isis immediately frowned.

You Tian, however, felt no inner disturbance.

After all, he had already played a Yami's Game with Malik this afternoon.

A Yami's Game is like being called out by the teacher to stand in the corner. The first time, you're nervous and embarrassed; the second time, you don't care anymore.

Moreover, You Tian had deliberately invited Mo Liang to a Duel for his own reasons.

As everyone knows, across all films and TV shows, the boss of the Yu-Gi-Oh! world is uniquely peculiar.

Bosses from other worlds, to achieve their goals, always first strive to become the strongest force in that world, then pursue their ideals or ambitions.

For example, the Soul Emperor in *Dou Po Cang Qiong*—to rule the world, he exhausted every means to ascend to the Dou Emperor realm before challenging Xiao Huohuo.

But as the final boss of Yu-Gi-Oh! DM, Mo Liang's thinking is completely different.

In a world centered around card duels, this guy didn't bother improving his card skills first—he instead went all out to collect the Millennium Artifacts, to save his true form and destroy the world.

Spending all day obsessed with destroying the world! Such overreaching ambition—can you even play cards well?

So, despite Mo Liang being the incarnation of the Great Evil God Zok, exuding supreme prestige, to be honest, he's never won many Duels in Yu-Gi-Oh!.

In this Duel, You Tian still had considerable confidence in defeating him.

"It's not over yet! When the 【Giant Virus】 is destroyed in battle, you can Summon two more 【Giant Virus】 from your Deck in Attack Position!"

"Come on, my monsters!"

【Giant Virus】 【Attack Power: 1000】 ×2

You Tian nodded slightly.

I stepped into the trap, but it's not quite what I imagined.

Still, it's not bad…

His gaze returned to Mo Liang's Set Card.

This confirms it—the Set Card is almost certainly the 【Spiritual Disc】.

If that's the case…

You Tian looked at his own hand.

"I Set two cards. End my turn."

At that exact moment, Mo Liang immediately activated his Set Card.

"At the moment you end your turn, I activate this card on the field—【Spiritual Disc】!"

You Tian: Of course~

As the 【Spiritual Disc】 activated, a wooden disc instantly appeared on Mo Liang's field, inscribed with twenty-six English letters.

The spirit of 【Dark Puppet Niklophilia】 emerged from the darkness, manipulating the disc's planchette to shift the empty slot toward the letter 【D】. Then, a spectral letter 【D】 slowly floated upward.

Isis: "What is that?"

Mo Liang: "During your End Phase, the 【Spiritual Disc】 reveals the Death Messages in my Deck in the order of 【E】【A】【T】【H】."

"Now that you've said 'End,' awaken once more, 【Spiritual Disc】!"

As Mo Liang said, the spirit of 【Dark Puppet Niklophilia】 moved again—just as before, it shifted the planchette, and a spectral letter 【E】 slowly rose.

"【D】【E】【A】【T】【H】? DEATH—death?!" Malik cried out in terror.

"Correct! When I collect all five letters—【D】【E】【A】【T】【H】—I win the Duel. At that moment, it will be your DEATH! Hahaha!"

Isis and Malik frowned deeply.

"Now it's my turn again! Draw!"

Mo Liang smirked at the three of them.

"You Tian, I'll bury you with this card."

"I activate this field spell from my hand—【Dark Sanctuary】!"

Hush~ Instantly, the already cramped Room 7 was swallowed by pure darkness.

Seeing the room engulfed in absolute darkness, Isis and Malik instinctively edged closer to You Tian.

"Hahaha! This card halves the success rate of your monster's attacks, and you take damage equal to half the Attack Power of any monster that attacks!"

You Tian frowned slightly.

This card is disgusting—thankfully it's not in Jonouchi's hands.

"Big Ma! I'm Summoning this one from my hand in Attack Position."

【Phantom of the Nightmare】 【Attack Power: 1300】

"Let's finish this quickly! Go! I'll use my two 【Giant Virus】 to attack your Giant Rat!"

"What?!" Isis cried out.

"Mo Liang's monsters clearly have lower Attack Power than your Giant Rat—why attack?"

You Tian instantly understood Mo Liang's intent.

Six! He's choosing a stupid, self-sacrificing method—losing monsters and health—to chip away at my Life Points?

Then again, Mo Liang's Deck is designed to grow stronger the more monsters he sends to the Graveyard.

Those two 【Giant Virus】 will deal me 1000 points of damage. In the Blue Star's 8000-Life-Point environment, I wouldn't care about this damage. But we're in the DM world now…

You Tian frowned slightly.

You still have to show a little respect for Life Points.

"I activate my Set Card—【Itakuaya's Storm】! This card changes the battle position of all monsters on the field."

"Nani!"
