Yu-Gi-Oh!: I use an Orichalcos deck

Page 272

A demon wielding a shadow spear appears, with an attack power of 1800. The Hell Sniper attacks directly! The final attack depletes Jaden's HP.

The electronic announcement of the winner from the duel system echoed atop the tower. Jaden paused for a few seconds, then burst into laughter: "That was brilliant! I've never seen a hero deck like that before!" He ran over and grabbed Yuki's hand; the use of Dark Fusion and off-field materials was simply divine!

Looking at Jaden's untroubled smile, Yuki suddenly felt a sense of disorientation, as if time and space were distorted. In this world where dueling reigned supreme, Jaden acted like a pure duelist, without memories or a past.

"Your deck..." Jaden leaned closer curiously. "Why is it called Evil Heroes? They look a bit like my Elemental Heroes, but they feel completely different..."

Just as Yuki was about to answer, the entire Duel Tower suddenly trembled violently. A purple crack appeared in the sky, and a figure wearing a golden mask slowly descended from it. He wore a magnificent white robe with gold trim, and his duel disk was inlaid with seven gems of different colors.

"Finally, I've found you, bearer of the Chaos Code." The masked man's voice sounded like electronic synthesis: "I am the creator of this world—Duel King Alcard."

Jaden looked up in surprise: The Creator? What does that mean?

Arkad ignored him and stared straight at Yuuki: "You come from another dimension, carrying a deck that shouldn't exist. This journey wasn't an accident, but a carefully designed selection."

Yuki's Evil Hero deck suddenly unfolded automatically, and the new card that had been blurred at the deepest part finally appeared completely—Evil Hero Chaos Demon King. The card art showed the ultimate form of the Evil Demon King, and its attack power was displayed as ?.

Three days later, at the Temple of Creation, Arkad's figure began to blur. "Use your chaotic code to fight me. The victor will gain the power to rewrite reality." With that, he vanished along with the purple rift.

Jaden turned to Yuuki, his eyes filled with confusion and excitement: Wait, you're from another world? That deck is... Wow! This is even cooler than I imagined!

Yuuki looked at the Chaos Demon King card in his hand, sensing the immense energy contained within it. This card seemed to echo Arkad's challenge, yearning for an ultimate showdown. And Judai... he looked at the familiar stranger beside him, and suddenly understood something.

"Judai, would you do me a favor?" Yuki asked softly. "I need special training, I need to understand every possibility of the Hero Deck."

Jaden's smile was as bright as the sun: Of course! Heroes help each other!

For the next three days, the two fought relentlessly in the wilderness outside the royal capital. Jaden showcased all his tactical variations: from basic attribute counters to complex fusion-xygen chains, and even his original contact-separate-fusion technique. Yuuki, on the other hand, continuously refined the construction of his Evil Heroes, perfecting the compatibility between the Dark Fusion system and the Chaos Code.

On the eve of the final battle, Yuuki's Evil Heroes deck had been completely revamped. All the original monsters had evolved into more powerful forms, and three new Ultimate Cards had been added: Evil Hero Chaos Lord, Dark Genesis, and Chaos Fusion. When he picked up these cards, he could clearly feel the energy of two worlds flowing through his fingertips.

On the day of the duel, the Temple of Creation floated above the royal capital, a miracle indeed. When Yuki and Jaden arrived on their flying platform, Arkad was already waiting in the central dueling arena. Surprisingly, Hoshino was also there; she had removed her silver mask and stood beside Arkad.

Welcome to the endgame. Arkad unfolds his duel disk inlaid with seven gems. Celestial is my agent, responsible for overseeing the fairness of this duel.

Jaden patted Yuuki on the shoulder: Go ahead, let that arrogant guy see the results of our special training!

Yuki stepped onto the dueling arena, facing off against Alcard. He could sense that this duel would determine the fate of two worlds. The Evil Hero Deck trembled slightly in the dueling disk, as if yearning for the ultimate battle.

DUEL!

Arkard seizes the initiative: Activating the Spell Card Genesis Prophecy! Adds three Genesis cards from his Deck to his hand. His maneuver is fluid and seamless, followed by the Continuous Spell Genesis Record! Once per turn, you can Special Summon one Genesis Monster from your hand.

Special Summon Creation Dragon - Light! A pure white dragon descends with 3000 ATK. Then Normal Summon Creation Guide, activating its effect to add Creation Dragon - Dark from the Deck to your hand.

Stack the two monsters on top of each other! Arkad's voice became ethereal, Xyz Summon! Creation Dragon: Chaos!

A colossal dragon, a tapestry of light and darkness, appears, boasting 3500 attack power. The Chaos Dragon's effect! Remove one Xyz Material and add one Genesis Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand. He chose Genesis Big Bang.

Three cards are set to face-down, end of turn. Alcard has a monster with 3500 ATK and three face-down cards on the field, putting him under immense pressure.

Yuji looked at his hand: Dark Fusion, Evil Hero Hellfire - Abyss Type, Evil Regeneration, Chaos Fusion, and a new card, Evil Shadow. My turn, draw. The new card he drew was Evil Hero Evil Blade Demon - End Type.

Activate the Spell Card Dark Fusion! Yuuki begins his operation, fusing the Evil HERO Hellfire Abyss Type from his hand with the Element HERO Skywalker from outside the field!

Fusion Summon! Evil Hero Shadow Overlord - Abyss Form! The demon lord with 4000 attack power descends once more. Shadow Overlord's effect activates! Nullify the effect of your Creation Dragon - Chaos!

Arkad sneered: Activate the Trap Card Genesis Barrier! Negate your monster's effect and inflict 500 damage! Yuuki's Life Points dropped to 7500, and the effect of Shadow Overlord was blocked.

A chain of attacks triggers the Chaos Fusion spell! Yuki was prepared, fusing the Shadow Overlord with the Evil Hero in his hand, the Demon Blade of Evil - End Form!

Dark energy erupted to an unprecedented intensity. Fusion Summon! The Evil Hero Chaos Demon King! The ultimate demon king descends, attack power displayed as ?, effect text completely blank.

Alcard finally showed a surprised expression: Impossible... This card should still be sealed...

The Chaos Demon King's effect! Yuki's voice echoed in the temple. This card's attack power is equal to the number of banished cards on both sides x 500! Currently, there are 9 banished cards, resulting in an attack power of 4500.

Battle Phase! The Chaos Demon Lord attacks the Creation Dragon, Chaos! The ultimate showdown unfolds in the collision of two torrents of energy. When the dust settles, Arkad's life points drop to 7000, and his ace monster is utterly crushed.

The round is over. Yuuki has completed his offensive.

Arkad's expression turned ferocious: You think you can win like this? My turn, draw! He glanced at his hand and suddenly burst into maniacal laughter: Activate the Spell Card Genesis Explosion! Destroy all cards on the field, then Special Summon three Genesis Monsters from my Deck!

The entire temple trembled violently, and Yuki's Chaos Demon King and all the face-down cards were engulfed by the explosion. On Alcard's field, three colossal dragons appeared: the Creation Dragon - Light, Darkness, and Fire.

Stack three monsters on top of each other! Alcard's voice distorts, Xyz Summon! Arcadios, the God of Creation!

The Seven-Colored Dragon descends, with an attack power of 5000 and the effect of negating any card effect. Battle! Arcadios attacks directly!

Just as the attack was about to hit, Yuki activated a trap in the graveyard: Except for Evil Regeneration in the graveyard, I take half combat damage this turn! 2500 damage reduced his health to 500.

"Set one card face down, end your turn." Alcard sneered, "Next turn will be your doom."

Yuki looked at his last remaining card—the unused Evil Shadow. He vaguely sensed that this card contained some kind of special power. My turn, draw!

The newly drawn card is Dark Genesis. When he holds both cards simultaneously, a strange thing happens—Evil Shadow automatically flies to the graveyard, while Dark Genesis begins to glow.

Chapter 299: Changes in evil intentions

Activate the Spell Card Dark Genesis! Yuuki raises his card, banishing the seven evil heroes from his graveyard. For each monster banished, draw one card from your deck! He banished five monsters, quickly replenishing his deck.

Then activate the effect of Chaos Demon King! Special Summon from the banished zone! The ultimate demon king descends once more, this time with an astonishing 6000 attack power due to the large number of banished cards.

Battle! Chaos Lord attacks Arcadios! 6000 against 5000, Arcadio's HP drops to 6000. Then, he activates the Quick-Play Spell Evil Regeneration! Special Summoning the evil hero Shadow Overlord from the Graveyard!

The Shadow Overlord attacks directly! Its 4000 attack power reduces Alcard's health to 2000.

Alcard finally panicked: He activated the trap card Genesis Reincarnation! This turn, I took 0 combat damage!

Yuuki's lips curled into a smile: Just what I wanted. Activate the ultimate effect of Chaos Lord! Send this card and Shadow Lord to the Graveyard, then Special Summon them from the Extra Deck—

Dark energy formed a giant cocoon, from which emerged an unprecedented being—the Evil Heart's End Dragon: Origin of Chaos. Attack power: ?, effect text completely blank.

The effect of the End Dragon! Yuki's voice seemed to come from the void. This card's attack power is equal to the difference between the two players' life points × 2! Currently, the difference is 1500, and the attack power is 3000.

Battle! The End Dragon attacks directly!

Arkard frantically searched his hand, but found no cards to block him. As the dark breath engulfed him, the entire temple began to collapse. Suddenly, Xingli rushed forward and removed Arkard's golden mask—beneath which lay a mechanical face.

"I see..." Judai suddenly realized. The real Alcard had long been devoured by his own system.

Looking at the gradually calming Evil Hero deck in his hand, Yuki suddenly understood the meaning of his transmigration. The Chaos Code had chosen him precisely to correct this distorted dueling world.

As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the collapsed temple, Yuki and Jaden stood on the ruins of the royal capital, and the surrounding landscape began to reassemble. The reality altered by Alcard was being repaired, while the evil heroes transformed into specks of light, merging into the rules of the new world.

It seems your journey isn't over yet. Jaden smiled and extended his hand. "Next time we meet, let's have another good fight!"

Yuki grasped his hand, feeling the bond between the two worlds. No matter what challenges lay ahead, the power of the evil hero would remain with him—this was no longer just 897, but a deck, a key to rewriting destiny.

Yuki stood in the newly rebuilt central square of the royal capital, a gentle breeze ruffling his black trench coat. The ultimate showdown with Alcard three months ago seemed like yesterday. After defeating the God of Creation, the Evil Heroes deck underwent a strange transformation—each card was now edged with a faint gold, and the demon heroes on the card art seemed to have received some kind of divine elevation.

"Lord Yuki!" Saya's voice came from behind. She was wearing a pink dress today, with a newly bought bow tied to the top of her magic wand. "Look at today's Duel Daily!"

The newspaper's front page featured a striking headline: "Mysterious Duelist Appears in Border City Using Lost Phantom Knights Deck." The accompanying image showed a man wearing a skull mask summoning a knight in full black armor.

Interesting. Youji put away the newspaper; it seems we should set off.

Asuka walked up from the street corner, holding three tickets for a steam airship: the airship to Grayrock Castle departs in an hour. I checked; that skull-masked man has already defeated seven castle lord-level duelists in a row.

Grayrock City is the northernmost industrial city in the kingdom, renowned for its high-quality Duel Disk metal components. When the three arrived, the entire city was shrouded in a gray mist, with towering chimneys constantly spewing black smoke.

According to eyewitness accounts, the duelist was last seen in the old mining area. Asuka pulled up a city map, and strangely, all the duelists who lost to him had lost parts of their memories, not even remembering what decks they used.

Yuki's fingertips traced the edge of the card case. Since the Chaos Code fully awakened, he could sense the abnormal flow of dueling energy in this world. And now, a chilling energy was continuously emanating from the direction of the mining area.

The entrance to the old mining area was blocked by iron bars, covered with "No Entry" signs. Xiaoye lightly touched the bars with her magic wand, and they disarmed automatically. Someone had set up a barrier here. She frowned. "Very ancient dark magic."

The sound of metal clanging echoed from deep within the tunnel. The three followed the sound and eventually found their target in a huge mine shaft—the man in the skull mask was standing on a makeshift dueling platform, with an unconscious duelist lying at his feet. His dueling disk had a peculiar shape, resembling a hybrid of some kind of biological skeleton and machinery.

Three more test subjects have arrived. The masked man's voice was hoarse and grating: "I am the Bone Master Necro. Who wants to be the first to die?"

Yuki stepped forward: What is your purpose? Where did the memories that the duelists lost go?

Necro let out an unsettling laugh: "Memory? No, I want something far more precious—the essence of a duelist's soul." He pointed to seven crystal bottles hanging on the cave wall, each containing orbs of light of different colors. "Soon, your evil hero's power will also become part of my collection."

DUEL!

Necro seizes the initiative: Activating the Spell Card Phantom Knights Broken Gloves! Add one Phantom Knights card from your Deck to your hand. He chooses Phantom Knights Dusty Robe. Then, Normal Summon Phantom Knights Broken Gloves, and activate its effect to Special Summon Phantom Knights Fragile Armor from your hand!

Two ghost knights, their bodies shrouded in tattered armor, appeared on the field. Stack the two monsters on top of each other! Necro raised his withered arm, Xyz Summoning! Phantom Knights: Shattered Sword!

A broken greatsword appeared, hovering in mid-air, its blade wreathed in eerie blue flames. The effect of the Broken Sword! Remove one Xyz Material and add one Phantom Knights Trap Card from your Deck to your hand. He chose Phantom Knights Shadow Hoodie.

Three cards are set to face down, turn ends. Necro's field only has the Shattered Sword with 2000 ATK and three face-down cards, which doesn't seem like much of a threat, but Yuki knows things aren't that simple.

My turn, draw a card. Yuuki looked at the Evil Hero: Evil Blade Demon, Dark Fusion, Evil Regeneration, and the two new cards, Evil Erosion and Chaos Resonance, in his hand.

Activate the Spell Card Dark Fusion! Fusion Summon Evil HERO Evilblade from my hand and Element HERO Necromancer from the field! The familiar dark vortex reappears, Fusion Summon! Evil HERO Evilblade Necromancer God-Erosion Type!

The newly evolved Evil Blade Death Demon's entire armor is covered in golden cracks, and its ATK has increased to 3000. Evil Blade Death Demon's effect activates! When successfully Special Summoned, you can view all your face-down cards and choose one to destroy!

Necro's three face-down cards were revealed: Phantom Knights Shadow Sweatshirt, Phantom Knights Dark Cloth Armor, and Necromancer Phantom. Yuuki chose to destroy the middle one, Dark Cloth Armor.

Battle Phase! The Evil Blade Death Demon attacks the Shattered Sword! A crushing defeat of 3000 against 2000, Necro's health drops to 7000. End of round.

My turn, draw a card. Necro's voice suddenly turned sinister as he activated the Trap Card Necromancer Phantom! Special Summon Phantom Knights: Broken Gloves and Fragile Armor from the Graveyard! Two Ghost Knights reappeared.

Then, activate the Quick-Play Spell Phantom Fusion! Fusion summons the two Phantom Knights monsters on the field! A ghostly blue flame soars into the sky, and the Phantom Knights Cursed Javelin is summoned!

A black knight riding a skeletal warhorse appears, with 2400 ATK. The effect of the Cursed Javelin! If this card is Special Summoned, you can destroy 1 face-up card on the field. I choose your evil blade, Death Demon!

Yuki was prepared: Activate the quick-play spell Evil Heart Erosion! Release Evil Blade Death Demon, my monsters cannot be destroyed by effects this turn!

A clever response. Necro sneered, "Then, activate the effect of the Dark Masked Armor in the Graveyard! If destroyed, you can Special Summon one Phantom Knights monster from your Deck! Descend, Phantom Knights, Rending Armor!"

A third Ghost Knight joins the battle. Stack the three monsters on top of each other! Necro's voice goes mad, Xyz Summon! Phantom Knights Rusty Moonblade Axe!

A massive battle axe wreathed in crimson mist appears, with an attack power of 3000. Battle! The Rusty Moonblade Axe attacks your empty space! Yuuki's health drops to 7000.

The round is over. Necro pointed to the crystal bottle on the cave wall, "Enjoy your last moments of lucidity; soon your soul will become my collection."

Yuki felt an invisible force eroding his consciousness, but the chaotic code immediately formed a defense, reflecting the force back. Necro was visibly stunned: How is this possible? My soul extraction failed?

My turn, draw a card. Yuki looked at the newly drawn Evil Hero Chaos Demon King - End Form. This ultimate trump card had been sleeping in the deepest part of the deck for three months, and now it was radiating scorching energy.

Activate the spell card Chaos Resonance! Yuuki raises his cards, returning Evil Hero: Evil Blade Death Demon and Hell Link Demon to the Graveyard from the banished zone, and then draws two cards from his deck! The newly drawn cards are Dark Genesis and Evil Hero: Shadow Lord - God Eater.

Next, activate the Spell Card Dark Genesis! Banish the three Evil Heroes from the Graveyard, and draw one card for each one banished! Yuuki's deck is quickly replenished, and he has six cards in his hand.

Unleash Dark Fusion! Fusion the Evil Hero Shadow Lord - Eclipse from your hand with the Elemental Hero Skywalker from outside the field! Dark energy forms a tornado, Fusion Summon! Evil Hero Shadow Overlord - Eclipse Form!

A brand new Shadow Overlord has arrived, boasting 4000 ATK. The golden patterns on his armor form mysterious runes. The Shadow Overlord's effect, "Isa@n倭~/陾就月漪," activates! When successfully Special Summoned, it can negate the effect of one card on the field! I choose your Rusty Moonblade Axe!

The blood mist on Necro's Moonblade Axe instantly dissipated, reducing its attack power to 0. Combat Phase! Shadow Overlord attacks directly! 4000 attack power reduces Necro's health to 3000.

End of turn. Yuuki has a monster with 4000 attack power on the field and three cards in his hand, giving him a clear advantage.
