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

"I activate the Continuous Spell Card, Dark Magician Circle! Look at the top three cards of my deck, add one card related to Dark Magician to my hand, and return the rest to the deck."

"I have a bad feeling about this." Li Youming looked at the black magic circle; the effect of targeting an exception made him very uncomfortable.

"Third card, Field Spell! Magician's Rescue! Set Eternal Soul to the field!"

"Fourth card, Curtain of Dark Magic! Pay half your Life Points to Special Summon Dark Magician from your Deck in Attack Position! (2500/2100)"

Dark Game: 4000-2000

"Activate the effect of Dark Magician Circle: When I Normal Summon or Special Summon Dark Magician to my field, I can target one card on your field and banish it! Banish your Evil God - Source of Fear!"

A flash of light appeared, and the Evil God - Source of Fear - vanished in a streak of light, leaving Li Youming speechless.

“Your three evil gods are indeed powerful, in terms of physique.” Yami Yugi gestured with his fingers. “It’s just a pity that they need to work together. Individually, they don’t have the same resistance as the three Egyptian Gods.”

"...Speechless, resistance is indeed a weakness." Li Youming could only nod helplessly in acknowledgment.

"I'll set two cards face down, end of turn!" Yami Yugi safely set his cards face down, ending his turn.

Dark Game Hand: 1

"During your End Phase, I activate the Trap Card, Conqueror of the Golden Land! It becomes a Level 5 LIGHT Zombie Monster with 600 ATK and 1800 DEF, placed in Defense Position on the field, and destroys one of your face-down cards!"

Yami Yugi's face-down card, which was supposed to end his turn, couldn't be activated because it had just been set face-down; it was none other than Divine Shield - Mirror Force -

"Destruction is fine too, my turn, draw!" Li Youming was quite satisfied with his results. He immediately activated the card he had just drawn: "Spell Card, Pot of Greed, I'll draw two more cards!"

"Spell Card: Darkened Awakened Elixir of Immortality of the Golden Kingdom - Special Summon the second Golden Kingdom Lich in the Deck in Defense Position!"

"I have three more sacrifices on my field! I sacrifice two Golden Kingdom Liches and one Golden Country Conqueror, and I summon the Evil God - Annihilator (?/?) in Attack position!"

As the Golden Kingdom lich and the Golden Land conqueror transformed into streams of light and converged, the bronze-colored demonic dragon descended directly behind Li Youming, eyeing Dark Game with predatory intent.

"The effect of Evil God - Annihilator is that its attack and defense are equal to the number of cards on the field multiplied by 1000. You have Dark Magician, Magician's Rescue, Dark Magic Circle, and two face-down cards on your field! Therefore, Evil God - Annihilator's attack and defense become 5000!"

Evil God - Annihilator: 0 - 5000

"Activate the Magic Card Cyclone! Destroy your Dark Magic Circle!" In order to prevent his Evil God - Annihilator from being banished and unable to activate its effect of destroying the entire field, Li Youming had no choice but to use the Cyclone he originally saved to destroy Eternal Soul in advance.

"Activate Equip Spell Card, Dimensional Resurrection! Special Summon the banished Evil God - Source of Fear - back to Attack Position!"

A long rift opened in another dimension, from which white bone claws emerged. Immediately afterward, the skeletal demon returned to the field, roaring angrily at Yami Yugi.

"I set the Field Spellstone Temple on the field, and Tribute the Golden Lord - Golden Kingdom Lich from my Graveyard back to my hand. Then I Special Summon a Zombie monster from my hand. I Special Summon Golden Lord - Golden Kingdom Lich in Attack Position (2500/2800)!"

"And based on this effect, the Golden Lord - Golden Kingdom Lich, specially summoned, gains 1000 attack power!"

Golden Kingdom Lich: 2500-3500

"How magnificent!" Jonouchi and Honda looked at the densely packed monsters on Li Youming's field and felt that Li Youming was like a god descending to earth, full of power.

"That Bakura guy. If I were Yugi, how would I handle this situation?" Seto Kaiba was also pondering the possibility of defeating Yami Yugi.

"Don't forget the effect of your Evil God - Source of Fear. The attack power of your Evil God - Annihilator and Golden Kingdom Lich will be halved." Dark Game timely reminded him, leaving Li Youming, who wanted to get away with it, helplessly watching his monster's attack power decrease.

Evil God - Annihilator: 5000 - 2500

Golden Kingdom Lich: 3500-1750

"Battle begins! Evil God - Source of Fear attacks the Black Magician! Evil God's Fear Claw!"

Upon receiving the attack command, the evil god, the source of fear, extended its enormous skeletal claw towards the black magician. Even before making contact, the magician felt the immense pressure emanating from the claw.

The dark magician was completely unable to defend himself and could only helplessly turn to ash.

Dark Game: 2000-500

"Evil God - Annihilator, direct attack! Annihilation Flame Bullet!"

Li Youming continued to issue attack commands, and Yami Yugi then activated his face-down card: "Continuous Trap: Eternal Soul! Revive the Dark Magician in the Graveyard in Attack Position!"

Li Youming stopped his attack and did not continue, as he currently had no better way to deal with the negative effects of the Evil God - Annihilator. Furthermore, the presence of Dark Game's backline was also a cause for concern.

"I remove the Red Bloodstained Golden Elixir and the Golden Country Conqueror from my graveyard, and set the Golden Country Conqueror and the White Destiny Golden Country Elixir face-down on the field. End turn!"

Li Youming's hand: 1 (Known Millennium Cross)

"My turn, draw!" Yami Yugi glanced at the card he had drawn, then placed it face down on the field. He immediately activated the only card in his hand: "Spell Card, Divine Treasure! Both players draw six cards from their hands!"

Li Youming and Yami Yugi simultaneously drew six cards from their hands. Yami Yugi, looking at his hand, immediately activated the card he had just set face-down: "Activate Spell Card, Ace Straight! Special Summon 'Queen Knight' (1500/1600) from my Deck, then add one 'King Knight' or 'Prince Knight' to my hand. Afterwards, you can Normal Summon once!"

"I add King Knight to my hand and Normal Summon it in Attack Position (1600/1400). I activate King Knight's effect: If Queen Knight is on the field when King Knight is Normal Summoned, Special Summon Prince Knight from my Deck (1900/1000)."

"So you've collected all three tributes now." Li Youming looked at Yami Yugi and immediately opened his face-down card: "Activate the Trap Card, Conqueror of the Golden Land, Special Summon and because the Golden Lich is on the field, destroy your Prince Knight!"

"Mudata! I activate Faceless Judgment! My Life Points are reduced to half, and your monster, spell, and trap effects are negated and destroyed!"

An old man with a white beard flew out and kept saying "No, no, no" to the conqueror of the Golden Land. The conqueror of the Golden Land, having heard this enough, voluntarily turned into fragments and entered the graveyard.

"I knew it. Go ahead and summon. I'd like to know who you can summon." Li Youming looked at An Yugi as if he had resigned himself to his fate.

As Yami Yugi held the card, he began to recite ancient priestly script. A golden light flashed across his body, and a burst of fiery power swept across the entire area.
