Yu-Gi-Oh!: Phobic Peptide Mad Dragon Executioner Dragon

"You've passed the trial." Although displeased, the shadowy figure still acknowledged Xing Liang's victory. He walked slowly over, removed his deck from the duel disk, drew a card, and handed it to Xing Liang: "I'm entrusting her to you. Treat her well." He spoke in the tone of an old father about to give his daughter away.

【Chaos Dragon - Chaos Ruler】

Then, the shadowy figure twisted and contorted, briefly revealing its true form before slowly dissipating.

Chaos Warrior - Messenger of the Beginning -

His deck vanished along with the wind blowing into the ruins.

"Next time, I'll definitely beat you!" The shadowy voice came from afar, tinged with resentment and helplessness.

He added the Chaos Dragon given to him by the shadowy figure to the Punk Extra, then turned and called to Dantas's men: "Are you still standing there? See what else is in the ruins, don't leave him with anything!"

As if just realizing what was happening, they immediately scattered, leaving only two people to carry Dantas away from the ruins, while the others began a thorough search.

If before they were hesitant because Xing Liang might be from a powerful family and feared his status, now they only have respect for him because they are impressed by his dueling skills.

The strong are always awe-inspiring.

Because Xing Liang passed the trial, the chaotic power on Dantas's body quickly disappeared. After he woke up and listened to his subordinates' report, he sighed that they were indeed from a great family, and immediately ordered someone to send the card found in the ruins to Xing Liang. He also announced the departure at dawn.

All the monster cards in the ruins disappeared with the shadows, leaving only a few spell and trap cards.

【Chaotic Space】

Chaos explodes

【Chaos Falls into the Pit】

He kept only these three cards, returning the rest of the unused cards to Dantas, since Dantas said he was still counting on them to make money.

Orses (a desert oasis), a border city.

They arrived in the city close to noon. The guards at the city gate recognized Dantas and let Xing Liang in without giving him any trouble. After replenishing their supplies, Dantas and his group hurriedly left, seemingly in a great hurry. However, before leaving, they left Xing Liang some money, saying it was a reward for him passing the trial and saving them.

If Xing Liang fails the trial, he will suffer the consequences of failure: being completely devoured by the power of chaos.

Xing Liang didn't refuse; after all, he was in an unfamiliar place, and having some money on him was always a good thing.

I wonder what the purchasing power of 50,000 magic coins is.

"Let's fill our stomachs first." Squinting at the bright sun in the sky, he began looking for a restaurant.

-----------------

"System, what's going on?"

Xing Ya found the blue dinosaur near a pond. It was lying on the ground, looking completely submissive.

Brachiosaurus

Around her, all sorts of dinosaurs, big and small, lay respectfully bowing to her.

【…】

[This is likely due to the host's excessive affinity for the dinosaur race.] "Really?" [After all, the host's physical data comes from the Therizinosaurus of the dinosaur race.]

"Um... could you give me some magic cards about you?" she asked cautiously as she approached the enormous creature.

The Brachiosaurus raised its massive head and gently nuzzled her face.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the [Brachiosaurus]!]

She repeated the process and obtained another series of monster cards.

Hellfire Pterodactyl

【Egg-Stealing Dragon】

【Jade Beast - Computational Dragon】

Stegoceras

[Dinosaur-loving]

……

With so many monster cards, you should be able to put together a deck, right?

[A reminder to the host: Although you already have a large number of monster cards, you need to consider whether their effects are suitable before including them in your deck. Also, your deck is still lacking in spell and trap cards. Please continue to work hard.]

Well, although her brother taught her how to play Yu-Gi-Oh!, he helped her build the decks; she had absolutely no idea how to do it!

"System, how do I obtain magic cards and trap cards...?"

-----------------

"Does it require me to have a blank card on me and be present in person...?"

He randomly picked a restaurant to fill his stomach; the food here was similar to what he had eaten in his previous world. He discovered that the purchasing power of these magic coins was quite high; a bowl of noodles with meat only cost three magic coins, roughly one magic coin equal to five RMB. It seemed that Dantas's claim of being short of money was complete nonsense.

After finishing his meal, he went to a bookstore, hoping to learn more about the world by reading books.

To obtain spell and trap cards, someone needs to use a pre-prepared blank card and the power of spirits to record the "moment" that occurs. Only one card can be recorded at a time, so the more powerful the spell or trap, the more expensive it is.

Thinking of the lightning storm he had given to Dantas, he instantly felt like he had lost out.

After flipping through many books on basic knowledge, he found the book he wanted.

The Origin and Rise of Magic Cards

The land was barren, and all things withered.

At that time, humanity struggled to survive.

The gods, unable to bear it, bestowed a blessing.

The two worlds are connected, and a contract is formed.

The power of the elves is unmatched by humans.

Greed grows, and rebellion rises.

The two realms are sealed off, and the magic cards resonate.

The twelve ranks act as deities.

God loves the world, and man governs the world.

—Excerpt from *The Enlightenment Record - New Chapter*

Through the allusions and introductions in the book, Xing Liang gained a general understanding of the history of this world.

In ancient times, humans prayed to the gods for survival. The gods connected the human world and the elven world, allowing humans to wield elven power through contracts. However, humans were far too weak compared to the elves, so some elves coveted the human world and incited others to invade. The gods intervened again, closing the passage between the two worlds and teaching humans to resonate with the elves through magic cards. This allowed humans to utilize elven power while limiting direct elven interference in the human world. Simultaneously, the gods established twelve ranks, granting them different powers to govern the elven world. From then on, the human world was entirely under human rule.

"It's full of love and reverence for God."

Xing Liang felt something was off after reading it, as if it was trying to brainwash people. The book repeatedly emphasized that God is powerful and loving, that everything humanity has now is a gift from God, that God's will is absolute, and that God loves people.

If God truly loves humanity, why has He been so slow to respond to the pleas of His believers? Why did He only intervene during the Elven Wars when humanity was on the verge of extinction?

Why did this so-called "god" make a hasty appearance only when humanity's life was hanging by a thread?

"God..."

By the time Xing Liang closed the book, it was already evening. After buying the book, he found a small hotel to settle down, finally having a place to stay.

I spread the Punk deck out on the table and checked it again. Sure enough, there was one extra card—the Psycho Defender.

"Let's go to the church tomorrow."

As the sun sets, the tall buildings in the distance stand out against the low-rise houses.
