"So, as long as we defeat this projection of the Pharaoh from three thousand years ago… we can get the real name of another Yugi?" Jonouchi asked.
"I don't know." Yugi Muto shook his head, "Maybe."
Yuei Vu checked the mission content again and frowned, feeling that it was not that simple.
Because the quest reward column was still "unknown", it was reasonable to expect that they would not acquire the final item so easily.
But now there was no choice but to accept this trial. After all, a certain unscrupulous great evil god has already wiped out the "Pharaoh's True Name", and there seems to be no other way to get this final item other than following this line.
Yugi Muto was a little hesitant and seemed to want to do it.
After all, up until now, he had only been watching from the back of his other self. Whenever he needed to fight, Yami Yugi would always fight in his place.
But the time of separation was coming soon.
He clearly understood that he could no longer rely on his other self. He must take charge of his own business as soon as possible, stand up as soon as possible, and bear the title of "Duel King" on his own shoulders.
Because if I didn't… another me wouldn't be able to leave peacefully.
Seemingly knowing what he was thinking, Yuei Vu patted his shoulder and chuckled.
"It's okay, just leave it to me this time." Yuei Vu said, "The battle that belongs to you is still behind."
Yugi Muto was startled for a moment, bit his lower lip, and nodded vigorously.
"Yes." He said firmly, "I believe in you, Yuei Vu, all the time. So please."
Yuei Vu stepped forward and came to face the ancient king. Golden light splashed out from the open door, making the Pharaoh's image appear a bit distorted.
This projection looked exactly the same as Yami Yugi, but perhaps it was more appropriate to call him "The Nameless Pharaoh" now – after all, it was a copy of the Pharaoh from three thousand years ago, without any experience of encountering Yugi.
Yuei Vu opened the Duel Disk, the system activated the duel mode, and the deck was automatically shuffled.
The other party was the king from three thousand years ago – even though he didn't know how much strength this projection could replicate, he still couldn't be careless in the slightest.
The Nameless Pharaoh also unfolded the golden ancient Duel Disk on the back of his hand, and five golden lights turned into stone slabs out of thin air and appeared in front of him.
Yuei Vu held his breath and concentrated, gathering all his energy.
In this battle, we absolutely must go all out!
[Yuei Vu, LP 4000]
[The Nameless Pharaoh, LP 4000]
"Looks like I'm the one to go first."
The indicator light on Yuei Vu's Duel Disk lighted up. He confirmed it, looked up to the opposite side, and after the Pharaoh nodded slightly to show that he had no objection, he immediately started his turn.
"My turn, draw." Yuei Vu directly showed two cards in his hand, "Activate Spell Card 'Destiny Draw'. Discard 1 'Destiny HERO' card; draw 2 cards."
I discarded 'Destiny HERO Malicious' to the graveyard and drew two cards. "
He exchanged the Destiny HERO for two new cards in his hand. Yuei Vu added them to his hand and immediately took out another one from his hand.
"Summon the 'Elemental HERO Blazeman' in defense position."
[Elemental HERO Blazeman, DEF 1800]
"The effect of Blazeman." A card in the lower middle part of Yuei Vu's thick deck automatically popped up, and he pulled it out, "If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: I can add 1 'Polymerization' from my Deck to my hand. "
After briefly showing "Polymerization", he added it to his hand and then drew another card and inserted it into the Duel Disk.
"Spell Card 'Over Destiny'! Target 1 'Destiny HERO' monster in my GY; Special Summon 1 'Destiny HERO' monster from my Deck whose Level is less than or equal to half of that target's Level, but destroy it during the End Phase of this turn.
I chose the Level 6 'Destiny HERO Malicious' in the graveyard.
Appear! Level 1, Destiny HERO Disk Commander! "
The cutting tracks criss-crossed, and the hero who was equipped with discs all over his body came to the field with a shout, and the discs all over his body rotated at high speed, making slight noises when they rubbed against the air.
[Destiny HERO Disk Commander, DEF 300]
"Then activate the Spell Card 'Polymerization' from your hand!" Yuei Vu held up the card retrieved by Blazeman, "Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck, using monsters from my hand or field as Fusion Material!
I fuse 'Elemental HERO Blazeman' on the field and 'Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier' in my hand!
The fusion condition is 1 'Elemental HERO' monster + 1 WATER monster!
Fusion Summon! Born from the extremely cold abyss, freezing everything with the absolute power of ice and snow——
——Elemental HERO Absolute Zero! "
The ice and snowstorm rolled up, and the snowflakes flew along the vortex of the airflow with the ice crystals. The extremely cold storm was like a drum washing machine running at full speed.
The hero stepped out slowly, the snow-white cloak fluttered among the snowflakes, and transparent ice crystals expanded where the white combat boots landed, and the entire platform seemed to be frozen by him.
[Elemental HERO Absolute Zero, ATK 2500]
"The effect of 'Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier' – If this card is used as Fusion Material for a 'HERO' monster, and sent to the GY or banished: I can draw 2 cards, then discard 1 card."
Yuei Vu drew two cards, added them to his hand, and without much thought, he picked one and sent it to the graveyard. Immediately afterward, the tomb area of the Duel Disk flashed with light, and the card that just entered popped out by itself.
"The one I just sent to GY is the 'Elemental HERO Shadow Mist'." Yuei Vu said, "When Shadow Mist is sent to the GY: I can add 1 'HERO' monster from my Deck to my hand.
I added another 'Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier' from the deck to my hand. "
Liquid Soldier was drawn from the deck and displayed briefly, and the deck was automatically shuffled again.
Yuei Vu quickly scanned the remaining cards in his hand, confirmed the situation on the field, and then drew two more cards.
"Set two cards, I end my turn."
As a starter, he thought this lineup was not bad and should be enough to resist.
Now the key was to see how the Pharaoh 3,000 years ago would attack.
"This big brother is amazing…" Mana whispered.
"Of course, Yuei Vu is the Duel King in our world!" Jonouchi started bragging.
"Duel King?" Mana blinked, "Like a Pharaoh?"
"Uh…although it's a bit different, but you can understand like that."
"It's amazing!" Mana exclaimed, "No wonder it's the prince's friend! Oh no, it's the Pharaoh…"
Yuei Vu finished the operation here, and the ancient king on the opposite side also started to act at this time.
"My turn." He gently raised his hand, and a stone slab fell down.
It's still the familiar Yami Yugi's voice, but it sounds colder and more inhumane, like a ruthless card-playing machine.
His cold pupils turned, his gaze fell on a stone slab for a moment, and then he slowly raised his hand.
"Discard a slab." He said lightly, "Call the magician spirit 'The Tricky'."
A magician with a question mark on his head and chest came to his field, with a magic cloak hanging behind him.
The Tricky: This card can be specially summoned by discarding a card from your hand.
[The Tricky, ATK 2000]
"Exile the 'Giant Soldier of Stone' that was just abandoned in the cemetery." He said coldly, "Come on, 'The Rock Spirit'."
The Rock Spirit: Must first be Special Summoned (from your hand) by banishing 1 EARTH monster from your GY.
[The Rock Spirit, ATK 1700]
"I use the spell 'Fiend's Sanctuary'."
The Pharaoh's gestures changed slightly as if giving instructions silently, and the stone slab in front of him slowly turned over after receiving the order.
The little man made of silver-gray metal emerged from the stone slab and slowly fell to the ground in front of him, lying in front of the Pharaoh.
[Metal Fiend Token, DEF 0]
Fiend's Sanctuary (Spell Card): Special Summon 1 "Metal Fiend Token" (Fiend/DARK/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0). It cannot attack. Your opponent takes any battle damage you would have taken from battles involving it. During each of your Standby Phases, pay 1000 LP or destroy this Token.
"Three monsters in one moment!" Yugi Muto said in surprise.
"Masaka (It cannot be)!?" Jonouchi couldn't help but exclaim.
Three monsters, and the chance to normal summon hasn't been consumed…
Can't be wrong!
In the hands of this Pharaoh, there is the power of Egyptian Gods!
"Are you actually planning to summon God to the field in the first round!?" Yugi Muto said hurriedly, "Yuei Vu, be careful!"
"I know." Yuei Vu's face darkened.
The Three Egyptian Gods were the most powerful servants of the Pharaoh. There were indeed written records that the Pharaoh three thousand years ago summoned the Three Egyptian Gods to fight fiercely with the Great Evil God Zorc, but they failed. Therefore, the Pharaoh finally had to pay the price of losing his name and identity and used his soul to seal the evil god.
He had already expected that the other party would summon Egyptian Gods, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
Was this the power of the "Millennium Divine Draw"?
But it wouldn't be that simple!
"Open the set card!" Yuei Vu snapped his fingers, and the card in front of him flipped over, "Quick-Play Spell – Mask Change! Send 1 'HERO' monster I control to the Graveyard, then Special Summon 1 'Masked HERO' monster from my Extra Deck with the same Attribute!
I sent the WATER-attributed 'Elemental HERO Absolute Zero' to the GY, transform!
The extremely cold hero reappears wearing a mask—
Masked HERO Vapor! "
The cold air broke out and frost swept across the entire place. The special effects of water and ice transformed into clear armor, covering the body of the Absolute Zero, and transforming him into a completely new posture in just an instant!
[Masked HERO Vapor, DEF 2000]
"At this moment, the effect of Absolute Zero! When this card leaves the field, all monsters on the opponent's field will be destroyed!"
Yuei Vu waved his hand.
