Chapter 90: Yu Miao Fights So Fiercely He Even Attacks His Teammates
In Battle City, the minimum requirement for each deck is 40 cards.
The maximum is 60 cards!
Only 1 copy of "Monster Reborn" is allowed.
The Special Card Box, if not used to open a new deck slot but instead applied to an existing one,
can increase the maximum card limit for that Yu Miao deck slot from 60 to 85 cards, instantly freeing up 25 card slots.
It gives a sense of stacking blocks, a perk for deck piles.
True duelists run only 1 copy of each card; they all use deck piles.
Don't say you can't draw it—they draw whatever they want.
If you can't draw it, there's only one reason: your bond isn't strong enough, your fighting spirit is weak.
Ishizu had been following Yu Miao. In her vision, the air around this man seemed to distort.
Take a sniff.
The scent of a god was growing stronger.
What was happening?
Battle City was the ultimate feast for duelists.
From this feast would emerge the Duel King, who would reign supreme over all other duelists!
No duelist didn't want to become the one and only Duel King.
If there was such a duelist, their purity must be very low.
Mai Valentine, of course, also wanted to become the Duel King.
But she had lost right from the start, her only Sacred Beast material taken by Yu Miao.
Registered on the KC official website, Mai was already an eliminated duelist.
Dejected, Mai wandered aimlessly through the streets. She suddenly wanted to see Joey, to hear him talk and joke around.
Perhaps then her lost self could cheer up a little.
However, two strange duelists suddenly appeared before Mai.
A man and a woman.
One named Kawaki, one named Ada.
The shiny black "belt buckles" on their waists were eye-catching; Mai could tell at a glance they were custom-made, high-quality items.
"I sense the darkness in your heart. Would you like to be my woman?" That's what the man named Kawaki said to Mai.
Mai had been hit on by countless men throughout the year. She had heard too many of these domineering, greasy pick-up lines.
"Get lost!" Mai spat out the word.
Kawaki, being rejected, clearly didn't look pleased.
Alister looked at Mai and delivered a cutting remark:
"You're a duelist too, right? But your expression is terrible—you must have been eliminated."
"Pretty unwilling to accept, huh?"
"Join us, and you'll gain greater power. Power so strong you won't lose to anyone."
Mai's heart did waver for a moment. With greater power, maybe she wouldn't have lost to Yu Miao.
But only for a moment.
In the original story, the main reasons Mai fell into darkness and corruption were not only her desire to never taste defeat again but, more importantly, being tortured by Dark Marik in a Shadow Game.
Mai's soul was trapped in an hourglass, constantly subjected to soul-scourging lashes.
Thus, one intense thought was etched into Mai's mind:
She couldn't lose a single duel!
She mustn't lose, because losing meant punishment—and Mai never wanted to experience the soul-punishment of Shadow Games again.
Currently, Mai had only lost, producing a yearning for power and a sense of unwilling to accept; she hadn't yet suffered the torment of Shadow Games.
She showed signs of corruption, but her heart still yearned for the light of friendship and bonds.
"Shut up, you green tea bitch." Mai retorted mercilessly. She had no time to waste here.
"Who do you think you are!" Ada's expression turned furious. She swung a whip, lashing it across Mai's left arm.
A burst of electricity made Mai scream instantly, her whole body going numb.
Mai gritted her teeth, using willpower to avoid falling to her knees. She never expected Ada to strike so suddenly.
Kawaki then walked up to Mai. His nose twitched as he said, "I like the perfume you use too. Your skin is very fair."
After saying this, Kawaki reached out towards Mai's face, as if wanting to touch it.
Kawaki succeeded in making contact.
But it didn't feel smooth; it was rough.
Strange, why was there stubble?
Kawaki looked, his pupils dilating. The person before him was no longer Mai.
This was a guy nearly 1.9 meters tall, wearing a high school uniform!!
Ah, it's Tetsu Ushio!
Tetsu Ushio was utterly confused. He remembered walking along a path, then suddenly this man appeared before him and gently stroked his cheek.
"Ahhhhh, you damn pervert!" Tetsu Ushio felt deeply humiliated. He threw a punch, wanting to beat this scoundrel to death.
As a member of the Doma organization, Kawaki, besides being skilled in dueling, had also trained extensively in martial arts from around the world.
How can a duelist not have a good physique?
However, Kawaki felt a terrifying force in Ushio's punch.
This was brute strength defying logic!
Bam!!
Kawaki raised his arms to block, but was still sent flying by the punch.
Ushio, enraged, shouted:
"Being a former devilish disciplinarian, how could I endure such an insult?"
"I'm going to kill you!"
As everyone knows, the professional black-suited bodyguard hired by KaibaCorp were beaten up by Joey and Tristan, while Tristan+ Joey + Yugi (normal) were thrashed by Tetsu Ushio...
Kawaki was stunned.
At that moment, behind Kawaki.
Mai stood beside Yu Miao, who was laughing heartily.
Indeed, it was Yu Miao's doing.
He arrived just in time to see Ada attacking Mai, and this Kawaki reaching out with his slimy hands to touch her face.
Yu Miao had "old Ai" pause time, moved the innocent, passing-by Tetsu Ushio from nearby, and then moved Mai away.
Kawaki had delightfully touched Ushio's face.
Ishizu remained silent. She sensed Yu Miao had used the power of Duel Spirits.
"Alright, Tetsu Ushio, stop." Yu Miao halted the furious Ushio.
Ushio turned around and saw Yu Miao. Images of being tormented by Dark Yugi resurfaced...
Upon seeing Yu Miao in person, Ushio first shuddered, as if seeing some monster.
He turned and ran.
"So, you're the ones hunting the souls of Rare hunters?"
"What a coincidence. You've already earned a death sentence."
Yu Miao opened his Duel Disk, revealing his trademark villainous smile.
Kawaki spat, bloody...
That muscle-head earlier really packed a punch.
Yu Miao's show up voluntarily surprised Kawaki, but he and Ada dared not forget Lord Dartz's orders.
"Hehehe, fine. If someone wants to die, why should I stop them?" Kawaki opened his Duel Disk.
He had long wanted to meet this man.
Yu Miao—what made him worthy of Lord Dartz's attention?
"Interesting, count me in too." Ada walked up beside Kawaki; she wanted to participate as well.
"Yu Miao, let me duel with you—" Mai didn't finish her sentence; her mouth was shut by the "fortune-teller" woman behind her.
"Multiplayer duel, I'll join." Ishizu A step ahead, more than Mai faster occupy the position.
Ishizu's thinking was simple: in this duel, she should be able to observe Yu Miao's strength up close.
Yu Miao glanced at Ishizu and explained: "I can handle it alone; I don't need you."
Ishizu nodded and replied: "I just happened to be following you, happened to encounter this incident, and happened to want to duel."
Hmm, this "fortune-teller" had misunderstood.
Yu Miao meant that when he fights fiercely, he even attacks his teammates.
Odion was a victim.
Yu Miao wasn't good at having partners; he preferred dueling a group alone.
"Hmph, no matter how many come, you'll all die." Kawaki's expression turned vicious. He just wanted Yu Miao to kneel.
Duel *4!!
Kawaki: 4000 LP
Ada: 4000 LP
Yu Miao: 4000 LP
"Fortune-teller": 4000 LP
"I'll take the first turn~ Draw." Ada drew a card and performed a Normal Summon.
Ding~
A mass of wriggling virus appeared.
*[Giant Germ, 1000 ATK, Fiend]*
"Giant Germ..." This reminded Yu Miao of Kaiba.
Ada blinked her pretty eyelashes and hummed: "I'm not satisfied with Virus's Attack power, so I'll activate this Equipment Spell Card."
Dark Energy!!
It was the original anime version of Dark Energy from the early days.
*[Dark Energy (Anime Original Version): Fiend-type monsters with 1000 ATK or less gain 3x their ATK.]*
Whoosh~
*[Giant Germ: 1000 → 3000 ATK]*
"So easily matching the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon?" Ishizu's expression showed surprise.
"End turn~" Ada said softly.
It was Ishizu's turn. Since Yu Miao was in this duel, she couldn't fully use her Millennium Necklace to predict the future.
That's right—Ishizu's previous duels all leveraged the convenience of the Millennium Necklace.
First, peek at what the opponent would do in the future, then adjust her card strategy accordingly.
This was the power of a Millennium Item—cheating.
Pegasus's Millennium Eye, Ishizu's Millennium Necklace predicted your predictions.
"Draw." Even without relying on the Item, Ishizu's dueling skills were strong.
Normal Marik had always been wary of his sister.
"Ahem, at this moment, I'll activate my Set Card." Ada snapped her fingers.
A Trap Card was revealed!
Deck Devastation Virus!!
"Can be activated by Tributing 1 face-up DARK monster you control with 2000 or more ATK."
"Under the power of Deck Devastation Virus, for the next 3 of your turns, all monsters with 1500 or less ATK on your field, in your hand, and drawn are destroyed."
Gurgle~
The 3000 ATK Giant Germ became covered in mold, immediately emitting a foul stench.
Poof.
Boom!!
It exploded.
Great Virus exploded.
Then, this "crown-force" virus smeared itself over Ishizu and You Miao.
Sizzle~
Ishizu and Yu Miao's hands began to be destroyed!
Yu Miao had 5 cards in hand; 2 of them were monsters with 1500 or less ATK, which were destroyed and sent to the Graveyard.
Ishizu had 6 cards in hand. Her luck was a bit bad; 5 were Gravekeeper's series monsters, all with 1500 or less ATK.
In an instant, Ishizu's hand was reduced to just one Field Spell Card... "Necrovalley"!!
Taking a deep breath, Ishizu placed Necrovalley in the Field Zone.
Boom boom boom~
The surroundings transformed dramatically.
A setting sun descended, the tall valley bathed in golden light as if draped in a layer of golden, beautiful and enchanting.
"Necrovalley"!
Ishizu had no cards left in hand. She ended her turn.
Yu Miao was a duelist skilled at utilizing the Graveyard. When Ishizu played this "Necrovalley," he really wanted to go over and smack that "fortune-teller's" head!
You haven't helped me at all; instead, you're harming me?
Yu Miao fights so fiercely he even attacks his teammates, but he never expected Ishizu to start by attacking her teammate right away.
Damn Tomb Guardians!
