Chapter 30: Evil Infiltration
Eerie yet intense music began to play.
Sukuna instantly felt a chill run down his spine.
His Duel Spirit was enhanced under the skill's effect.
For this draw, Yu Miao wanted this specific card: "Draw!"
He was betting everything on the card he drew.
Without hesitation, Yu Miao placed the card in the Spell & Trap Zone of his Duel Disk.
Snatch Steal!!
The Abian appeared once again, his sneaky appearance making anyone who saw him want to punch him.
Exactly like last time, the Abian ran onto Sukuna's field, picked up the "Twin-Headed Beast," and immediately ran away.
Just like that, the control of the monster on Sukuna's field transferred to Yu Miao.
"It's over." Sukuna realized the terrifying truth.
The Twin-Headed Beast could attack twice during the Battle Phase, and last turn, he had foolishly used an Equip Card to increase its ATK.
2000 ATK attacking twice.
Exactly 4000 Life Points.
Sukuna never expected Yu Miao to pull this Snatch Steal from his last chance.
How are you so lucky with your draws?
Are you the King of Topdecks?
"Entering the Battle Phase." Yu Miao commanded Sukuna's Twin-Headed Beast to attack twice.
First strike!
Second strike!
Sukuna met his destruction amidst immense pain.
Black mist mixed with red lightning, like evil ghosts from the abyss, surged towards the loser's body, devouring it!
"Ahhhh, don't come any closer! Help me, someone save me, quickly, someone ahhhh..." Under the fear of death, Sukuna unwillingly pleaded for help from Yu Miao.
In reality, he understood better than anyone.
No one could save him now.
The Shadow Game ended.
[Side Quest: Completed]
[Congratulations on obtaining "Card Dust" *500]
[Congratulations on obtaining "Gems" *5000]
[Congratulations on obtaining "Golden Card Pack" *3]
[Duel Victory, EXP Obtained]
"..."
Card Dust.
Just this reward alone made Yu Miao reveal a pleased smile.
He needed Card Dust the most.
A short while later, the Panther Lady also managed to win with difficulty.
Apart from the three base leaders consumed by the Shadow Game, the night's events were finally over.
Panther Lady went to free Keith (Marik) who was tied to the pillar.
As for Yu Miao?
He was happily picking up cards.
Sukuna, Muzan, and Dio were all finished, so of course Yousei was reclaiming their cards.
Since they were consumed by the Shadow Game, Yu Miao would keep these cards to preserve the traces of their existence.
Summoned Skull, Santa Claws, Swords of Revealing Light...
These cards were all his now.
At this moment.
Yu Miao saw a card on the ground emitting a thick black mist.
It was a card from Sukuna's Deck.
Subconsciously, Yu Miao thought of the key that allowed Sukuna to initiate the Shadow Game.
Clearly, this card could harness dark power, but Sukuna surprisingly didn't use it during the duel.
Either Sukuna was really unlucky and didn't draw it.
Or this card had significant restrictions.
Suddenly!
An unexpected change occurred.
The card actively flew towards Yu Miao.
"..."
The Sunshine Boy had been watching Yu Miao since earlier. When he saw the other party picking up cards from the ground like a miser,
The leader of the Ghouls immediately thought of tempting him with benefits!
The Ghouls' warehouse had a large number of rare cards. With such a massive lure, he didn't believe he couldn't make Yu Miao work for him.
Until that card emitting black mist revealed its fierce "claws."
The Sunshine Boy often used the Millennium Rod to control people; he instinctively felt this card was problematic.
"Yu Miao, that card is dangerous!" Keith (Marik)'s warning was too late.
This dark card, as if possessing a consciousness of its own, forcibly "inserted itself" into Yu Miao's hand.
This way, Yu Miao finally saw the true appearance of the card through the black mist.
"Impossible..."
"It's the Forbidden One, Exodia!!"
Exodia is a legend in the dueling world.
Five parts: head, left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg.
As long as you gather all these cards in a single duel, you can unconditionally win that duel.
This is a rule-based overpowering effect.
The poor Seto Kaiba was harshly taught this lesson back then.
In the dueling world, there's actually more than one copy of Exodia's parts circulating.
Excluding the counterfeit Exodia parts made by the Rare hunters, aside from "Grandpa" in the entire dueling world,
No one has been able to collect all 5 parts.
In the DM anime, this "Head of the Forbidden One" seems to be the only one.
Such an power card like Exodia had its parts thrown into the sea by the Insect Weevil during the Duel Kingdom arc.
The blond Joey risked his life to retrieve two parts from the sea, but the "Head" wasn't among them!
"This Forbidden One head... could it be the one that Weevil threw into the sea?"
"But why did this head awaken such an evil spirit? What's with this unimaginably vast dark power?"
What happened to this "Head" while it was lost at sea?
Something must have happened to make this card awaken such a malevolent spirit.
Consider Obito from Naruto next door; before his awakening, he was a weakling, but after awakening, he immediately became a major antagonist...
Exodia definitely has that potential!
Right now.
Yu Miao's entire right arm was trembling. This "Forbidden One" was using its immense dark power to invade his mind.
Unintelligible whispers constantly echoed in Yu Miao's ears...
The general meaning was:
"Submit to me."
"Let me grant you power."
As the dark energy invaded, black lines slowly began to trace over the "head" on the card image of the Forbidden One.
It looked terrifying!
"Control, this card is controlling you." Keith (Marik) immediately saw what the card was doing.
This damned spirit was trying to control Yu Miao!
Keith (Marik) anxiously reached out to grab it, but he grabbed nothing.
Because he wasn't the real body, the Millennium Rod wasn't with him.
He couldn't help the other at this moment.
Panther Lady intended to help, but the moment she got close to Yu Miao, she was immediately repelled by the massive energy.
Critical moment.
Silent Magician and Bull Blader stepped forward.
The two spirits released powerful energy to help Yu Miao resist.
Even someone as powerful as Silent Magician, an old-timer who witnessed the rise and fall of the The Grand Spellbook Tower, couldn't help but say:
"What an overwhelming power this is."
Bull Blader's face turned red from straining; it didn't even have a chance to spout its flirtatious narration, just stared at this Exodia head with glowing red eyes!
——The power of just two spirits wasn't enough!
Yu Miao realized this fact and made a decision.
He directly maxed out the proficiency of Dark Magician Girl, who possessed a "Spirit Heart."
The cost was consuming a certain amount of Card Dust.
Dark Magician Girl already had some proficiency, so the Card Dust cost wasn't high.
Ding~
A pink-purple magic circle appeared, and a Dark Magician Girl wearing eye shadow and chewing bubblegum materialized.
She had finally materialized as a spirit.
"Go to hell, you bitch!" Dark Magician Girl cursed foully, swinging the magic wand in her hand hard towards the Exodia head.
With Dark Magician Girl joining, the pressure on Yu Miao's side instantly lessened considerably.
