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

Because of his current identity as a card master, the guards at the door bowed to him and then left without asking any further questions, allowing him to enter directly.

Xing Liang was in a dilemma. The identity of a card master was certainly prestigious, but his card deck was incredibly expensive! He currently had three decks available: Fearful Peptide, Punk, and the Trap Demon deck that his friend had given him in his card album.

He had considered not bringing a deck and just displaying a Duel Disk for show. But he would inevitably encounter other duelists in this world, and a duel was very likely to break out.

After all, duelists are attracted to each other! (crossed out)

The only difference between the death-dealing effects of the psychiatric and punk is the speed: one is like being slowly sliced ​​to death, taking 600 damage at a time; the other is like PDD, deducting damage rapidly at first, then less and less, but you just can't die.

As for the worm demon…

The thought of the ugly face of the friend who gave him the card set made him want to swear.

What kind of reward is "being beaten up by the bewitching insect 100 times"? He'd rather die from that.

Passing through the main gate and the narrow front hall, you arrive at the main hall's entrance. The surrounding walls are adorned with intricate and exquisite patterns and reliefs, depicting the various miracles caused by the Winged Dragon.

Pushing open the door carved with the image of the Winged Dragon of the Sun God - Phoenix, he found that some kind of event was taking place in the central hall, and his arrival went unnoticed by anyone.

He casually found a seat at the back and sat down, looking around with interest.

Overall, it was similar to the churches he had seen on Earth, except that the images of deities on the walls had been replaced with the Winged Dragon of the Sun God. Where there should have been a cross, there was now a small sculpture of the Winged Dragon of the Sun God in a spherical shape. Looking up, on the circular dome, a spherical relief, like the sun, was inlaid in the very center, repeatedly emphasizing His identity—the Sun God!

The gods worshipped in each country in this world are different, but they are basically the Three Evil Gods and the Creator of Light, collectively known as the "True Gods." Those who believe in the Three Evil Gods are classified as heretics and will be purged by the "True Gods" church.

Unlike Xing Liang, who was looking around, everyone in the central hall was focused on the children on the high platform in front of the sculpture, who were undergoing an awakening ceremony.

The so-called awakening refers to the fact that, in the special environment of the fairy world, a child develops certain "quality" that can attract fairies, thereby resonating with the fairies that are attracted.

After the separation of the elven and human realms, the awakening ritual began when those who had successfully awakened opened a "door" through the spirits they resonated with, temporarily assimilating their environment with the elven realm to guide their awakening.

As the priest temporarily opened the "door" to the elven realm through the "Apostle of the Sun God," the children clutched their blank cards, stood in a row before the "door," closed their eyes, and prayed incessantly.

"Children, relax and show your truest selves, so that the spirits may sense your qualities! Only then can they resonate with you!" the elderly priest reminded him. He was very old and expected to retire soon. Since successfully resonating with the [Apostle of the Sun God], he had become the priest of this church, serving the divine for the rest of his life.

He wondered if any of these children would become his successors.

Although he successfully resonated, he was destined never to become a card master: because he could neither obtain nor control the God Cards, he could not have his own deck.

But he has no regrets. Over the years, he has witnessed the awakening of countless children. Some succeeded, some failed, and many of them later became respected card masters.

That's enough, he thought to himself.

Great Sun God, please allow your humble believers to enter your sanctuary and serve you forever after death, much later. These children still need my guidance.

At this point, the awakening ceremony was drawing to a close. As the "door" slowly closed, the cards in the hands of several children reacted.

The first child to successfully resonate with the idea appeared.

[Adjusted Warriors]

Although it has no effect, it still boasts 1600 attack power. And since it's a three-star spirit, this child will receive the blessing of the third-tier [Opening Up]!

Below the stage, the child's parents wept with joy. Their simple clothing clearly indicated that the child's family was not wealthy. Although he had no hope of becoming a card master, the blessing he received gave him a bright future.

Then, the second, the third... out of nearly twenty children, six children successfully resonated, and one child's resonated spirit even had an effect!

【The Bewitching Insect of Sera】

She was a petite girl who ignored the envy or jealousy of the others watching her. She bit her lower lip, looking very unwilling.

She wants to become a card master.

Looking at the card description, she communicated with Sera in her mind and learned that although it had an effect, it required other Trap Monsters to function. Furthermore, it needed a large number of Trap Cards to work in conjunction with it.

Their family couldn't afford to buy trap cards.

Her parents were overjoyed that she had received the blessing of Rank One [Life]. But when they saw their daughter struggling to hold back her tears, they knew that her dream of becoming a Magic Card Master had been shattered.

“A bewitching demon…” Xing Liang felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the little girl being comforted by her parents.

I've been disgusted by my friends' insect-possessing demons quite a few times in the past.

The frustration and helplessness of summoning monsters but getting none made him want to have a real duel with his friends while playing.

The joys and sorrows of people are not the same.

Those children who failed to awaken only felt that the little girl was in Versailles.

"Respected Card Master, may I ask you to offer a few words of blessing to these children?" The old pastor appeared quietly beside Xing Liang, bowing slightly to him.

Xing Liang, a social terrorist, did not refuse and walked up to the platform amidst the admiring gazes of a group of adults and children.

then.

Each child was given a card.

"I don't know if any of you will become card masters, but that won't affect your bright future."

Recalling the words of a great man, he continued, "The world belongs to you, as well as to us, but in the final analysis, it belongs to you. You are full of vigor and vitality, like the rising sun. Hope is placed on you."

Mr. Chairman, may you be at peace in heaven.

Xing Liang paid tribute in his heart to that great man who had long since passed away.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he gave the children who failed to awaken their monsters trap cards that could be used as monsters, while the children who successfully awakened their monsters mostly had Spell & Trap cards that could be used in conjunction with monsters.

What the little girl received was [Naraku's Pitfall].

He couldn't see clearly from a distance, but as he got closer, he realized that if the little girl changed her hair color and clothes, she would look exactly like Sera.

"Innate Insect Bewitching Demon Body?" Xing Liang thought to himself.

After answering the children's chattering questions, Xing Liang was about to leave to visit the side chapel of the church when the old pastor called him back.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Card Master, could you please give this child some guidance?"

Behind her were the girl from before, who had been afflicted by insects, and her parents. Because they had never been in contact with a card master before, they seemed a little uneasy, but for their daughter's sake, they still mustered up the courage to ask the old priest and Xing Liang to make contact.

How do I communicate with children?

Xing Liang was a little worried. He had once been teased by a friend who said, "If you don't say anything and just stand there, you look like an assassin. But after spending more time with you, I realized you're actually a goofball." So he punched that friend.

"Why not?" He walked up to the girl. Although she was already 12 years old, she was still very thin and small. He crouched down, making sure the little girl was at eye level with him, trying his best to appear friendly.

"So, future card master, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Um..." The little girl was a little shy, gently tugging at her skirt. After hesitating for a moment, she finally mustered up her courage and asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Magic Card Master, is it really that difficult to become a Magic Card Master?"

Ah this.

Xing Liang didn't know how to answer. On Earth, printing forty cards was enough for a duel, making the cost quite low. But based on his understanding of this world over the past few days, he discovered that these small cards were a significant expense for ordinary people, and powerful clearing cards like [Lightning Storm] were astronomically expensive.

Without sufficient financial backing, even if an ordinary person successfully resonates with the system, they cannot become a Magic Card Master.

Furthermore, if the resonating spirit is too weak or the resonance level is insufficient, it will be unable to enter the spirit world through the spirit to obtain other monster cards, which is another major drawback.

The resonance level of the spirits in this world has multiple stages.

[Ordinary Bone] can only use cards, but cannot use the power of spirits.

The [id] can communicate with spirits within, and can allow spirits to possess them and borrow their power.

[True Self] can summon a spirit clone, fully utilize the clone's power, and enter the spirit world through the spirit.

[Superego] Ignores the separation between the human and spirit worlds, causing the spirit's true form to descend and merge into one.

Is it no wonder she possesses the innate Insect Bewitching Saint Body? The first resonance of most spirits is at the "True Self," and the resonance level needs to be gradually increased during battles. But the little girl had already faintly reached the "True Self" stage after her initial resonance, and a petite figure flashed past beside her.

But I have no money.

Monster cards can be obtained through resonance with spirits or relics: For example, after successfully resonating with [Half-Dragon Maid - Laundry Dragon Girl], she will summon spirit partners of the same series as her, such as [Half-Dragon Maid - Nursery Dragon Girl], to come to the resonator and give them a monster card of the same name.

The ruins, like the Chaos Warrior ruins where Xing Liang underwent trials, theoretically offer various cards, but the rewards are completely random. Furthermore, trials are sometimes triggered, making it nearly impossible to succeed without a card master leading the team.

If the little girl can truly achieve her "true self," she can also travel to the elven realm through Sera to "record" the magic and trap cards she needs. Only a few blank cards are required, which her parents can certainly afford.

Although he and the old priest had reached their "true selves," they were unable to open the "door" to the elven realm where Sera resided.

There are many realms of elves, and they are basically not interconnected.

This was discovered by several people who had reached the "True Self" after returning from the Elf Realm.

The birth of a card master in an ordinary family sounds like a miracle.

But then again, what's the deal with the Chaos Dragon? Resonance requires a connection of minds with the spirit, and he doesn't have that feeling with the Chaos Dragon. Furthermore, after the Defender forcibly shoved the card back into her hand this morning, a subtle distance had grown between him and the Chaos Dragon.

He has not reached the "true self," yet he can manifest an avatar.

The image of the young girl from the Chaos Dragon reminded him of a state of "superego".

I can't figure it out, it's really giving me a headache.

The little girl noticed Xing Liang's hesitation, and her originally bright and beautiful eyes gradually lost their luster, becoming faintly misty.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Card Master, I shouldn't have asked such a troubling question."

She sniffled slightly, her eyes reddening a little, but she tried her best not to cry in front of the revered card master, her maturity heartbreaking.

It really looks like it.

My own silly little sister is the same way in front of outsiders; she only cries freely when she's with her parents and him.

His parents would offer words of comfort, but all he could do was quietly stay by their side.

"It's not difficult, not difficult at all." He extended his right index finger and gently tapped her forehead.

Do you believe in miracles?

"A miracle?" She didn't quite understand.

Xing Liang didn't say anything. He got up, took out a card album from his bag, and quickly searched through it amidst the gasps of surprise. He pulled out three cards and turned the back of the cards towards the little girl.

"Draw one out from there."

The little girl looked at the three identical cards on the back, hesitated for a long time, and then carefully pulled out one and turned it over.

【Trian's Trap】

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

Xing Yamei had a good night's sleep.

It's not painful to sleep on the system sister's lap.

Whether it was her imagination or not, the system staggered to its feet.

It seemed to give her a resentful look before reverting to its previous virtual screen avatar.

[The Queen's image will not be activated except in emergencies. Please take note, Host.]

Xing Ya stuck out her tongue sheepishly, indicating she would do it again next time. "System, where do we go next?"

[Currently consuming some of the spirit's power to generate a blank card, estimated...]

Before the system could finish speaking, it was interrupted by a sudden impact sound from afar.

The violent shockwave knocked her to the ground, and even though they were quite far apart, the ensuing deafening roar caused her to temporarily lose her hearing.

Despite the aches and ringing in her ears, she quickly got up and climbed the nearest tall tree, looking towards the spot where the impact had occurred.

It was a huge meteorite crater. The energy from the violent impact caused the entire ground to sink, and the surrounding vegetation was burned away by the high temperature, leaving only a wasteland.

She squinted. Although the Therizinosaurus had incredibly sharp eyesight, the distance was too great. She could only vaguely make out the "meteorite" in the center of the crater, which seemed to be... moving.

She approached the crater, occasionally spotting dinosaurs moving away from the meteorite along the way. At the edge of the basin, she saw what appeared to be a "meteorite."

[Detected the current special environment, automatically recording magic cards]

[Ground Adjacency Point]

The "meteorite" stretched out its originally curled-up body, raised its huge head in a patch of lava, and let out a new roar towards the sky!

【Otherworldly Meteor Ouroboros】

The ground beneath its feet seemed unable to withstand its immense pressure and began to crack. More magma gushed from the ground, turning the earth crimson and resembling a lava hell.

Noticing Xing Ya's presence, the ouroboros met her gaze.

"System, do you think he can become our companion?" She was not afraid of the ouroboros's show of force; on the contrary, a fighting spirit surged from the bottom of her heart.

[Warning to the host: Although the current individual is a dinosaur, it comes from outer space. The host's affinity for dinosaurs will not work; furthermore, its basic physical stats are all higher than the host's, making it impossible to subdue by force.]

"It's okay, I believe I can do it." She excitedly licked her lips, which were a little chapped from the high temperature, and prepared her claws and tail from the system space, eager to try.

Although she was surprised that she, who was always known for her composure, would have such a crazy idea, she was not disgusted by it.

She jumped off the edge of the basin.

How could she let such a powerful elf go? She must quickly perfect her deck and head to the so-called human realm to increase her resonance level.

She wants to go back to her family.
