The strongest evil hearts of the Overlord, each exudes a dense darkness that sends shivers down one's spine, gathering all in one turn with the terrifying power of the Dark Elves.
"Defense is useless before the power of the evil hearts." The Overlord coldly said, "Evil Heart Hero: Dark Earth Demon, attack 'Chaos Warrior'!
When Dark Earth Demon declares an attack, all monsters in defense position on the opponent's field are changed to attack position!"
[Chaos Warrior, Defense Power 2500 → Attack Power 3000]
"Die." The Overlord said coldly.
"Then discard 'Chestnut Ball' from hand, effect activation." Yugen said, "When the opponent declares an attack, turn the attacking monster to defense position."
[Evil Heart Hero: Dark Earth Demon, Attack Power 6100 → Defense Power 0]
"Petty trick." The Overlord said, "Then the attack of 'Evil Heart Hero: Evil Blade Demon King'."
Chaos Warrior raised a shield to parry, but the opponent was too strong, and even Chaos Warrior struggled to resist.
But at the moment this strike hit, a fluffy ball image appeared on Chaos Warrior's shield, with small arms releasing a transparent force field to block the strike for Chaos Warrior.
"Kurikuri!"
[Yugen, LP 3000 → LP 2500]
Though taking damage, Chaos Warrior remained on the field, undestroyed.
The Overlord frowned: "Again this miscellaneous monster?"
"That's rather impolite to call it miscellaneous." Yugen smiled, "It's 'Sacrificial Chestnut Ball' sent to the graveyard last turn. This card, while in the graveyard, allows the player to remove it from the game as a substitute when their monster is destroyed in battle."
"But I still have Evil Blade Death Demon that hasn't attacked." The Overlord said, "Evil Heart Hero: Evil Blade Death Demon, attack 'Chaos Warrior' again!"
Evil Blade Death Demon threw a punch laced with endless darkness, as if a tsunami swept through. Chaos Warrior raised a battered shield once more to block, but this time the shield shattered, and Chaos Warrior was annihilated.
[Yugen, LP 2500 → LP 2300]
"Your warrior is strong, but before the strongest darkness, resistance is futile!" The Overlord remained emotionless, yet exuded an imperial arrogance.
"Indeed. Three such powerful monsters, a maximum Attack Power of over six thousand, capable of clearing the field each turn and immune to destruction abilities, forcing the opponent's positional change, even defending for survival is impossible..."
Yugen sighed lightly.
"Is this the Overlord who rules the Twelfth Dimension? I truly feel the power of a king. It's too strong..."
He shook his head and sighed.
"Such tremendous power I cannot match, truly incomparable. The name of the Otherworld Overlord is well-deserved, I admit defeat."
The Overlord showed no emotion on his face, but his eyes seemed to flash with pride. Through this duel, he acknowledged Yugen's power; gaining recognition from a strong opponent always brings a bit of pride to any duelist.
"However, the Overlord may not be familiar with the characteristics of this dimension upon arrival."
It was a dark night with strong winds, Yugen's face half shrouded by shadows outside the Red Dormitory, his expression ambiguous.
"I wonder if the distinguished Overlord from afar has heard of the supreme legend in our dimension... the highest mythology of the Dueling Realm..."
He slowly looked up, a smile flickering in his eyes.
For some reason, the King from the Otherworld felt danger in that smile.
A threat he might have never felt as a king, like he was already determined.
"God." Yugen softly uttered the word.
"God?" The Overlord frowned, "Ridiculous. In Duel Monsters, so-called Gods are merely strong monsters, no opponent is unbeatable."
"Perhaps, but defeating an opponent isn't achieved only by 'beating' them. Let the Overlord see now, the pinnacle of our dimension, the ultimate power, the legend of the Gods.
My turn to draw a card!"
Yugen drew a card, then immediately pulled out a card from his hand.
"This is the first time this card is used, aside from laboratory tests... Well, the Overlord sure is a fitting opponent."
With the card simply raised, black clouds gathered in the sky, covering the moon.
Tornadoes silently swept up; the Overlord could truly feel an extraordinary presence descending from that card, secretly astonished.
Is there something stronger in this world than everything in the Twelfth Dimension?
What on earth is that card? How can a card possess such astonishing power?
Meanwhile, Yugen's miniature Millennium Puzzle on his chest emitted a faint golden glow. In response to that glow, the power emanating from the card also reached its peak.
The Overlord released a powerful aura to resist the card's pressure, his golden eyes seemed ablaze, staring directly at the card.
It's coming.
He could sense that a powerful presence was about to descend. But as the Overlord, he did not fear; instead, he felt anticipation.
It's the instinct of a strong man, to collide with a powerful existence, to prove himself.
Come on!
Regardless of how mighty the monster is, he has no fear!
Then Yugen spoke.
"I sacrifice your 'Evil Heart Hero: Evil Blade Death Demon', 'Evil Heart Hero: Dark Earth Demon', and 'Evil Heart Hero: Evil Blade Demon King' on your field, to upper-level summon the legendary Supreme God on your field—
—Winged Divine Dragon of Ra - Ball Type, descend!!"
The Overlord: "??????"
The ruler of the Twelfth Dimension briefly felt confused.
For a moment he wondered if he heard wrong, or if Yugen misspoke.
What did you sacrifice?
Summon what?
Until his widened golden eyes clearly saw, his strongest trump cards, accumulatively over ten thousand powerful Evil Heart Heroes, actually vanished in sacred, dazzling light, transformed into light dots.
Then those dots gathered, forming golden flames in mid-air. The flames burned fiercely, like a blazing sun, appearing high in the sky above Duel Academy Island, shining so brilliantly that it obscured the true form within the light, illuminating the endless night sky like daylight.
Indeed, it felt like the presence of a God, dominating the entire world upon summoning. The myriad stars and moon scattered away, as if giving way to this holy existence.
Such powerful, divine beast, the Overlord had never seen in his conquest of the Twelfth Dimension.
Just as a divine-level monster with such godly nature...
...Are you out of your mind with this summoning method!?
The Overlord glared with his golden eyes, looking at the round little god that had descended onto his field, then at Yugen across from him, speechless for a long moment.
"Winged Divine Dragon of Ra - Ball Type, this card's summoning can either use three monsters as sacrifices for a normal summon on your own field, or use three monsters from the opponent's field as sacrifices for a normal summon on their field."
Yugen explained the effect of this dimension's Supreme Illusion God to the Overlord with a solemn and respectful expression. Under the Sun God's brilliance, he somehow appeared somewhat divine himself.
Overlord: "..."
The Overlord maintained that icy expression, remaining unmoved. Even Yugen had to admire him, as expected from the ruler of the Twelfth Dimension, truly having the composure to remain unshaken even if Mount Tai collapsed right before him. He could remain so calm in such situations.
However, he was quite certain that the cold golden eyes that looked at him seemed different from before.
How to say it...
If previously, it was indifference, disdain, with the confidence and majesty of a ruler.
Now, the gaze was purely murderous intent.
As if saying, "Very well, kid."
You've now turned this into a personal grudge.
"But the Ball Type Winged Divine Dragon has an attack power of zero. Furthermore, this card cannot actively attack, nor can it be considered a target for an opponent's attack or effect."
Overlord: "......"
He stared at Yugen for a moment, then his gaze wandered to the glowing bird's egg in the sky.
For some reason, Yugen seemed to read the meaning in the lord's eyes—
——Is this really the Supreme God of your dimension?
So, the ability of your dimension's Supreme God is...
...To pull a prank on the opponent's field?
Well, the aura was still impressive. Although it shrank down to an egg, it was still the Supreme Illusion God. Just existing on the field carried a terrifying divine presence that made ordinary people shiver.
So it was still a godly prank.
"At the end of the next turn, the Ball Type Winged Divine Dragon will return to its original owner's field...well, but before that, the Ball Type cannot be considered a target for attacks. So I'll speed things up a bit."
Yugen revealed a card from his hand.
"Magic Card 'Owner's Mark', return all monsters on the field to their original owners. Come back, Winged Divine Dragon."
So the bird's egg that had cleared the invincible Evil Heart finale of the Overlord rose into the air, changed sides, and flew over to Yugen's side of the field.
The Overlord still did not speak.
But if the lord's gaze could kill, Yugen was certain he'd have been chopped into pieces by now.
He coughed lightly.
"But don't think the Supreme Illusion God's ability is just to help the opponent clean up the field. Now it's time to unleash its true power!
Using the Ball Type as a sacrifice, it can transform into the real form of the Illusion God descending!
The ever-changing fire of the heavens and earth, transform into eternal light illuminating the earth!
The strongest Illusion God, liberate the ultimate form here!"
At this moment, the Ball Type seemed to truly emit an unprecedented dazzling radiance!
The ball shone like the sun, its light piercing through the darkness and shooting into the cosmos. Even the Overlord's pupils contracted slightly, as if he slightly sensed something more terrifying brewing within that sphere...
Ten seconds passed.
Nothing happened.
Hmm, the light ball just flashed a bit, but nothing else seemed to change.
The Overlord's gaze held some wariness and a bit of doubt, looking at the bird's egg, then at Yugen.
Then.
"Pfft, haha..."
Yugen burst out laughing.
"Just kidding. The Winged Divine Dragon does have a true form, but it doesn't just appear for no reason...well, aside from special occasions, its summoning seems to require chanting priestly words, which I actually don't know."
The Overlord remained silent for a few more seconds.
Finally, the cold lord couldn't hold back anymore and spoke.
"Bastard brat..."
"Well, don't get mad. Though I can't show Lord Overlord our Supreme Winged Divine Dragon, I have something similarly impressive prepared."
Yugen snapped his fingers.
"Activate Cover Card, Continuous Trap 'Restricted Revival'. Revive from the graveyard in attack position a monster with Attack Power below 1000. Show yourself——
——KURISHINRYU Ball Form!"
So another round little golden ball jumped onto his field, resembling the bird's egg, only it was an ultra-mini version.
Yep, it was the Chestnut Ball that went to the graveyard last turn.
[Chestnut Ball, Attack Power 300]
[Overlord, LP 200]
"You...you bastard, planning to..."
The Overlord, who had always maintained a calm expression, finally twitched a bit.
"Go, KURISHINRYU Ball Form!" Yugen waved his hand, "Direct attack."
Overlord: "............"
"Kurikuri!"
The Chestnut Ball charged fiercely.
Highly insulting, deadly in damage.
[Overlord, LP200→ LP0]
