Kashtira Fenrir (LP 8000) vs Zeng Wang (LP 8000)
Zeng Wang won the coin toss and chose to go second.
Both players drew five cards, and the duel began.
"Let me go first? Wow, you're actually pitiful."
Fenrir looked at him with an expression that could only be described as patronizing pity toward an idiot.
If someone knows how his Kashtira deck works and comes prepared with proper outs, then yes — pure Kashtira isn't overwhelming. After all, whether spirits or heaven-rank humans, they can all "pull out" counters. If they pull out something like a Kaiju Turtle, Kashtira really suffers.
But if they don't know?
If they aren't heaven-ranked or higher?
They get destroyed.
Zeng Wang felt something was wrong, but upon glancing at his open hand, he relaxed.
He had several starters — including Cyber Dragon.
If Fenrir summoned too many monsters, Cyber Dragon could clear the board.
But before he could think further, Fenrir had already started his combo.
Fenrir's Turn
"I activate the Spell Seven Star Sword.
I banish a Level 7 monster from my hand and draw 2 cards.
I banish Kashtira Unicorn, draw 2."
"Next, I activate my Field Spell:
Sixth Ruin — Heavenly Demon World.
Its effect adds another Unicorn to my hand."
"Unicorn effect — since you control no monsters, it Special Summons itself."
"Unicorn searches the Continuous Spell Kashtira Birthplace."
"Now I pay 3000 LP × 2, to Special Summon two Level 7 Thunder Gods from my hand."
"The two Level 7 Thunder Gods overlay—
I Xyz Summon Kashtira Shangri-Ira Cocoon!"
"From my hand, I activate Sixth Ruin — Self-Transfiguration Heaven, targeting the on-field Unicorn—"
Zeng Wang stared at Fenrir's field:
Three Kashtira Shangri-Ira Cocoons, plus the Level 4 Kashtira Riseheart.
A terrible premonition climbed up his spine.
There was no way Fenrir summoned all this just to end his turn meekly.
"Right, almost forgot to remind you."
Fenrir glanced at him with a cold smile.
"When dueling against Kashtira —
If your Spell/Trap Zone and Main Monster Zone become completely sealed,
Then our opponent gets banished face down.
Meaning: you die."
Zeng Wang's face stiffened.
Fenrir would never say something this blunt without a reason.
"I activate Riseheart's effect.
I banish a Kashtira card from my Deck face-down,
then you banish the top three cards of your Deck face-down.
Riseheart becomes Level 7."
"I banish the Trap Sixth Ruin — Root of Purity.
You banish your top three cards face down.
Riseheart is now Level 7."
"And because your cards were banished face down,
Each Cocoon on my field can now target one of your unused monster zones or Spell/Trap zones—
and seal it."
Zeng Wang's face went white.
Sweat poured down his neck.
Three Cocoons.
And the sealing effect was NOT once per turn.
Fenrir's grin widened.
"You figured it out, huh?"
"All three Cocoons chain —
Seal three of your monster zones.
Finally, Chain 4 — Sixth Ruin: Root of Purity.
It adds a Kashtira monster attached to a Cocoon as material to my hand,
Then, Special Summons it."
Chain resolves:
C4: Sixth Ruin — Root of Purity → Fenrir is Special Summoned
C3, C2, C1: Three zone seals
The moment the zone-sealing resolved…
Everything below Zeng Wang's waist vanished.
His lower body was simply gone.
Zeng Wang trembled in horror.
What kind of spirits were these?
He'd never heard of anything so absurd.
A dual spirit that sealed zones?
He consoled himself:
At least they follow rules.
They won't summon a fourth Cocoon.
As long as all monster zones aren't sealed—
Fenrir's smile turned icy.
"Oh? You think you still have a chance?"
"Let me show you a friend who joined the Kashtira four years ago—
a new member introduced by my Lord."
"I overlay Level 7 Riseheart and Level 7 me—
I Xyz Summon Kashtira Computer Beast
(NO.89: Diablosis the Mind Hacker)!"
Zeng Wang stared in disbelief.
That was clearly a Number monster.
How was it a "Kashtira brother"?
"Don't be confused.
Your suffering begins now."
Fenrir kindly reminded him —
which only made Zeng Wang feel a deathly chill.
"Computer Beast effect:
Detach 1 material,
Look at your Extra Deck,
banish 1 card face-down."
Zeng Wang felt his soul collapse.
A face-down banish…
which meant three more zone seals.
Fenrir browsed his Extra Deck.
"Oh? Definitely my Lord's build."
He saw several Cyber Dragon cards.
He banished the only Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon.
"And because your card was banished face-down—
My three Cocoons trigger again,
three more seals."
"Then Chain 4 — Computer Beast's third effect (once per turn by name):
When a card is banished face-down,
Banish cards from the top of your opponent's Deck face down
equal to the number of face-down banished cards they have."
"Another face-down banish!?"
Zeng Wang's despair exploded.
This chain resolves,
and after the next chain,
he'd only have one Spell/Trap zone left.
A single zone…
Was this still a duel?
No—
It was a nightmare.
No wonder, even though the Zeng family had three Heaven-ranked elders
—one of whom was on track to become a King-rank Duelist—
The entire clan was still annihilated.
They simply couldn't fight these monsters.
Despair shattered Zeng Wang's rationality.
When the chain resolved,
Zeng Wang's entire body vanished—
leaving only:
A pair of eyes.
A mouth.
One hand holding cards.
A Duel Disk.
That was all.
The Zeng family members, who had been hiding and waiting for Zeng Wang to save them,
stood there dumbfounded—
then glared at him with hatred.
If not for them provoking the Inspection Bureau,
If not for them offending You Ye again and again,
if not for their arrogance—
None of this would have happened.
Zeng Wang's remaining eye trembled in despair.
On his turn, a Cocoon Special Summoned Kashtira Unicorn,
And Zeng Wang used Cyberdark Claw to search for a Spell.
Then the Unicorn activated,
banished another Extra Deck card,
triggering Cocoon's chain again—
And the last remaining zone was sealed.
With that, Fenrir spoke calmly:
"You.
Get banished face-down."
Zeng Wang vanished completely,
as if he had never existed.
After his disappearance,
the entire Zeng family died.
The last to die was Zeng Bufan.
In his final moment, he wondered:
Why didn't we treat You Ye the way the Bai family did?
Why didn't we just worship him like an ancestor instead of provoking him?
"Boring.
These humans are weak.
They can't even trigger the Cocoon's internal duel rules."
Kashtira Ogre approached Fenrir, swinging his great axe.
Inside Shangri-Ira Cocoon,
basic duel rules still existed,
but enforced duels were suppressed.
Only enemies whose "rules" could strike back could duel them.
Of course, voluntary duels — like just now — still worked.
"To duel us, you need at least Heaven-rank.
These humans… their strongest is only Earth-rank."
Unicorn sneered.
"I'll have the Cocoon eject this garbage.
Their filthy blood might pollute it."
Ogre left.
"Fenrir, when will the duelist you're interested in obtain our field?"
Unicorn asked.
"No idea.
But soon, I think."
Fenrir looked outward.
"Anyway, I'm more curious about something…
Why didn't any of their souls enter the Underworld?
They just died. Completely."
Unicorn sank into deep thought.
Cut — Human World
You Ye stood on the Xuan-rank Certification Platform.
He knew nothing about what had happened inside the Sixth Ruin.
On the way here, accompanied by Tian Nan and Zhao Jingqing,
he chatted like peers,
which terrified the clan heads walking behind them —
Wang Cheng, Luo Hao, and Bai Lingtian.
He learned several things about duel regulation:
Dark Scrolls were banned.
Normally, anyone possessing one was labeled a Dark Duelist unless handed over.
Because of You Ye's special situation — and guaranteed personally by Tian Nan and Zhao Jingqing — he was allowed to keep his.
Xuan-rank Certification, also called Spirit Certification,
Sends a duelist's consciousness into the Spirit World.
The system assigns a spirit opponent.
Win → become Xuan-rank.
Lose → try again in one month.
Fail three times → must redo the rule tasks.
And—
He had obtained the four cards the Zeng family wanted:
Linkuriboh, I:P Masquerena (Lyna disguise), Shaddoll Falco, Shaddoll Lizard.
"Everyone, see you later."
A glow enveloped the certification platform — teleportation beginning.
"Go make history again," Zhao Jingqing smiled.
No one worried he would fail;
They only wondered what spirit he would receive.
You got it, You Ye smiled.
