After ten thousand years, the power of Orichalcos is once again activated on a large scale. Countless monsters walk the streets, spreading fear and collecting souls to feed the Evil God.
However, at the same time, countless Duelists also stand up. Duelists from various regions summon their ace Monsters, engaging in battles with the monsters of Orichalcos on the streets and alleys.
After this battle, these warriors who bravely stood up against the monsters overwhelming the sky and the earth in the crucial moment are destined to be remembered.
... It's just that some warriors may not be quite normal mentally. For example, some like to wear strange costumes, others simply prefer not to wear clothes, and some people curse incomprehensibly while fighting...
Because even if their souls are hung, they can't be recovered, causing a considerable reduction in Dartz's efficiency in collecting souls due to their interference.
Although he finds these jumpy characters annoying, Dartz doesn't have the time to deal with them for now. Because he is facing a bigger problem now.
Muto Yugi and Kaiba Seto are just minutes away from reaching his location. Facing both of them simultaneously, even Dartz had to prepare a little despite his arrogance.
Additionally, there's the issue of Youyu.
After a card duel, the person disappeared without a trace, and despite Dartz's efforts and multiple Secret Techniques, he couldn't locate him.
This is very unusual. There shouldn't be anything beyond his control left in this world, anyone hiding in any corner of Earth can't escape his eyes.
Yet now he can't find where Youyu went. Dartz has an ominous premonition, especially after the last duel, feeling that this person is a cunning fox, ready to strike him unexpectedly when it counts...
Wait, not on Earth?
Dartz suddenly seems to have thought of something...
...
Duel Monster Spirit Realm.
In the duel, with LP reduced to zero, Shien half-knelt on the ground, with black smoke faintly dissipating from his body. He closed his eyes lightly, seeming quite calm and peaceful.
"I lost. Inferior skills, nothing more to say." Shien said calmly, "As agreed, as the defeated, I am now your servant.
I will become your sword, willing to cut through any obstacles for you."
He paused for a moment, then looked at Youyu meaningfully.
"The path of a Hero is very challenging, only those who can bear everyone's burden deserve this title. If you are prepared, move steadfastly along your own path."
After speaking, his body was wrapped in black flames, gradually becoming illusory until it completely vanished.
Until only a card was left on the ground.
Youyu bent down and picked up the card, which was a "Great Shogun Shien".
This time, acquiring a new Spirit Card was not a loss at all. From the recent duel and the aura emitted by the opponent, it was evident that this Grand General's strength as a spirit was not weak, possibly comparable to Youyu's "Destiny Hero Plasma".
With this card in the deck, Youyu could distinctly feel his own "power" rising again.
Although his Duelist level was still at 7 stars based on the stats, after numerous enhancements, he could clearly feel he was approaching the 7-star limit, just one step away from reaching level 8.
Another powerful spirit should be enough to break through this bottleneck.
Further bold speculation, if "Great Shogun Shien" was acquired, its related series "The Six Samurai" might also be unlocked.
If it is just a pure Six Samurai deck, it may not be stronger than the deck he currently holds. But it doesn't matter, even if he doesn't need it, he can throw it into the shop.
Moreover, unlike the miscellaneous cards he had before, as a popular card series, as long as he puts this series up for sale, he doesn't have to worry about a lack of buyers regardless of the price set.
Youyu was already planning on launching a new card box when he returned, pitching it as "Epic Warriors are Coming!" with a "Limited" tag, surely tricking a large group of foolish players into buying it...
Seeing his master make a stunning comeback with lingering health and take the opponent away in style, Dark Magician Girl's eyes sparkled again, proud as she puffed her chest at her new companion, as if saying, "See? My master is awesome, right?"
The silver-haired girl nodded slowly, her expression serious as if conveying sincere admiration.
Kuriboh: "Kuri Kuri!"
Saying that, the little creature flew onto Youyu's face and brushed against him, then promptly perched on his shoulder.
Look, even Kuriboh indicated a deep agreement.
Dark Magician Girl gazed intensely at Kuriboh on Youyu's shoulder.

Youyu and Shien's duel was also seen by the many hidden spirits around.
Those spirits, originally plotting and coveting Youyu's soul, now had to retreat obediently.
Actually, it's not just higher-level beings like the God of Orichalcos that need souls, ordinary Duel Monster Spirits can also extract nourishment from souls, like the Jinzo who appeared in GX.
Just that ordinary spirits don't have the exaggerated appetite of Evil Gods.
The stronger the Duelist, the higher the value of their soul for spirits.
Finally, they stood under the giant eye.
The Evil God still seemed to be sleeping, yet one could feel the energy in the space continuously being absorbed into the closed eye.
"So... Just defeat it while it's sleeping?"
Dark Magician Girl had already raised her small Magic Staff, holding her breath and waiting for her master to give the order to execute her ultimate skill.
However, the newly added Great Shogun Shien also appeared from Youyu's deck, his arms crossed, and he said lightly, "You can't.
Even in a sleeping state, that guy's power is extraordinary. Ordinary attacks won't harm it, it would be counterproductive if it gets enraged."
"Huh?" Dark Magician Girl was a bit disappointed that she didn't have the opportunity to show herself, "Then what should we do?"
Having heard this, Youyu was already clear.
If normal attacks don't work, then summon a God!
Here, summon Slifer the Sky Dragon...
... Uh, no, Slifer the Sky Dragon.
So Youyu didn't bother with any prelude, he decided to go all-in with a powerful move!
"Descend, the Judge of Hell, God of Netherworld!" Youyu drew the Egyptian God Card and slapped it onto the Duel Disc, "Slifer the Sky Dragon!"
In an instant, pitch-black clouds enveloped the entire Spirit World sky, roaring thunder like the angry roar of a dragon, echoing from the depths of the black clouds, as if tearing the firmament!
