Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting as a Rabbit-Eared Demon King

After Li Youming slept soundly through the night, everyone returned from the virtual world the next day. Unlike in the original story, Malik hadn't damaged the equipment, so everyone was relatively more relaxed.

Jonouchi vividly described their situation in the virtual world to Li Youming. Although Li Youming knew about Naia, he didn't say anything and just listened to Jonouchi's story.

The joyful atmosphere was broken when Malik arrived. Jonouchi also remembered the matter of Mai the Peacock and regretted that he was not in the finals and could not save Mai the Peacock himself.

"Don't worry, Jonouchi. I'll carry on your efforts." This tried-and-true reason for the bond always reassured Jonouchi.

Before long, the group arrived at Duel Island. Upon seeing the real scenery, Li Youming exclaimed that Kaiba was burning money. Thinking that it would be blown up later, Li Youming cried out that it was a waste of money.

"There are only four of us left. We have a way to decide who will fight."

"Wait, Kaiba! I want to fight Malik! What do you think? Can we just settle this now?" Li Youming directly expressed his idea, since he didn't really want to participate in that four-person free-for-all. (Mainly because the author felt that writing that was a waste of time.)

"If we want to defeat Malik's Winged Dragon of Ra, it would be best to have two gods. If that's the case, then I..." Seto Kaiba thought about it and agreed.

First, he needs two gods as trump cards; second, it would be good to have Li Youming force out the full power of the Winged Dragon of Ra so that he could obtain more information.

"Is there something wrong with Malik?" For procedural reasons, it's necessary to ask for other people's opinions.

"I'm fine. Hehehehehehehe..." Malik started acting crazy again. After these few days of deck building, he felt like he was good again.

"Bakura..." Xiao Biao looked at Li Youming with some concern and was about to voice his objection. However, Li Youming suppressed his thoughts in time, and Xiao Biao, knowing that Li Youming was confident, agreed with his opinion.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Seto Kaiba was happy to start immediately, as he was eager to obtain the God Cards. He first arranged a battle between Li Youming and Malik to test Malik's strength.

Li Youming and Malik had already arrived at the dueling platform. Both were extremely confident in their strength, and their two powerful auras clashed in an invisible battle.

"The match begins!" Referee Jino announced the start, and both sides unfolded their duel disks and got into position.

"Duel!" "Duel!"

Malik: 4000

Li Youming: 4000

"Let's begin our dark game!" A black membrane spread directly from Malik, enveloping everyone else as well.

"Then I can't let you set the rules. If you lose, the peacock dance will have to come back!" Li Youming's Wisdom Wheel lit up, and a surge of power filled it.

"My turn, draw!" Malik immediately activated a spell card: "Spell Card: Hand Elimination. Both players discard their hands to the graveyard and then draw the same number of cards!"

Watching Malik throw the Winged Dragon of Ra into the graveyard and then draw Monster Reborn, he felt that he had the game in the bag.

"I Normal Summon Blazing Girl (1300/1500) in Defense Position! Activate the Continuous Spell Card Spell Absorption. I recover 500 Life Points whenever I activate a Spell Card."

"Activate the second Magic Absorption card. Based on the effect of the first card, I will recover 500 health points. Then, based on the effect of Blazing Girl, I will deduct 500 health points from you!"

A beam of light shone on Malik, making him look quite refreshed, and then the Blazing Girl fired a fireball directly at Li Youming. After an explosion, Li Youming lost 500 health points.

Li Youming: 4000-3500

Malik: 4000-4500

Malik's hand: 2

"How about that? This is my invincible blood-draining strategy! Hahahaha..." Malik laughed excitedly as he saw Li Youming suffer a setback, as if he had already won.

"How dare he..." Even Honda, an outsider, could see that Malik was fooling around. Sending Li Youming's card directly to the graveyard would mean a pile of resources. Li Youming would be causing chaos later.

“He might be too reliant on the God Cards,” Yami Yugi said. “If any of us duelists could defeat a god with a mortal body, I think it would be Li Youming.”

"How could that be?" Seto Kaiba retorted mercilessly to Yami Yugi. After all, he also possessed the God Cards.

“Because Li Youming has no reverence for the gods. He has no fear of the gods’ power. I believe he will become the first person to slay a god,” Dark Game said.

"Let's see if he succeeds." Seto Kaiba shut up and stopped talking.

"No, what were you thinking? You got your hands on the Winged Dragon?" Li Youming laughed at Malik's actions, thinking that someone was being so direct in offering help.

"Of course, the Winged Dragon of Ra has already entered the graveyard, and I still have Monster Resurrection! Your death is next turn! Hahahahahaha!" Malik ended his turn directly.

"..." Li Youming ignored his madness: "I will put four cards face down on the field, except for the Darkened Awakened Golden Kingdom Elixir, the Whiteened Destiny Golden Kingdom Elixir, the Reddened Bloodstained Golden Kingdom Elixir, and the Guardian of the Golden Country."

"It doesn't matter, as long as my Winged Dragon of Ra is next turn..." Malik was still excitedly thinking about his God Card.

"Since you like gods so much, I'll show you my god." Li Youming drew a card and activated it immediately: "Place the giant who has awakened from his thousand-year slumber in the Spell & Trap Card Zone!"

At this moment, a stone slab appeared on Li Youming's field, depicting the outline of the millennium-awakened giant, lifelike.

"Li Youming asked what kind of monsters can be placed in the magic trap zone," Jonouchi said with a hint of envy.

"Show your Millennium Cross to your opponent, and Special Summon Giant (2750/2500) in Attack Position! Activate its effect to add Millennium Golem from your Deck to your hand!"

Following Li Youming's command, the stone slab emitted light. A blue-skinned, red-haired giant flew out directly from the slab.

"The Millennium Stone Golem can also be Special Summoned in Attack Position (2000/2200) while the Millennium Cross is displayed! Search for the Stone Temple in your Deck and add it to your hand based on its effect!"

"Then attach the Millennium Shield to the Spell & Trap Zone, reveal Millennium Cross to Special Summon the Millennium Shield (0/3000) in Defense Position!"

Li Youming took out the fourth card: "Using the Three-Body Problem as a sacrifice, Superior Summoning, Evil God - Source of Fear!"

"What????"
