At the same time, my wife is myself.

Toyokawa Shoko's fist ignited, ignited, ignited...

Not right.

She looked at her empty right hand. She could clearly feel the magical power flowing through her body, but she couldn't activate it at all.

Even after being converted into Honkai energy and magic, it was still the same. Even the most basic enhancement magic was extremely difficult to operate, as if a chain was binding her, tightly binding her extraordinary power within her body, with no outlet to release it.

She held hands with Qianyuan, and while synchronizing this memory with the past, she also verified that the resonance between their souls remained unaffected.

"Such a thing can happen."

Qianyuan tried it out and found that she could not release energy, and could not use enhancement magic and flower magic, but the curse power and Honkai energy themselves could also enhance physical fitness, so this built-in enhancement was still there.

"In addition, hypnotic magic can also be used normally."

Qianyuan skillfully activated the hypnotic magic, and it ran without any obstacles.

The sound of a beer can falling to the ground rang out. Toyokawa Kiyokazu stood up, wiped his face, and squinted as he carefully examined Chiyori:

"You don't seem to be Xiangzi. I thought you were hallucinating from drinking too much. Who are you?"

He looked quite surprised when he saw the two holding hands: "Xiangzi, is this your boyfriend?"

Chien and Toyokawa Shoko were even more surprised than him, because the person Chien had just used hypnosis magic on was Toyokawa Kiyoko, and how come he was completely unharmed?

"Hypnotic magic is a true detector of weaklings; ordinary people have no resistance to it, while anyone with even a little bit of extraordinary ability can easily become immune."

Chien's heartfelt message was conveyed to Toyokawa Shoko through holding hands.

"In other words, your father is a superhuman."

Toyokawa Shoko was speechless. She had never imagined such a thing could happen. Her father was a superhuman? Did her deceased mother know? Did the Toyokawa family know? What secrets were hidden behind her father's expulsion from the Toyokawa family?

"You're not an ordinary person, are you?"

Qian Yuan felt it was more appropriate for him to speak at this time. He stroked the Creation Belt, which immediately transformed into a greatsword. These extraordinary items were unaffected.

The greatsword, burning with flames, simply sitting there raised the temperature inside the room, and the beer cans near it were charred and deformed.

Qianyuan did not intend to damage the room, so she restrained the power of the Heavenly Fire Greatsword.

Toyokawa Kiyokazu, now completely sober, said sternly, "You're a duelist too? What's your purpose in approaching Xiaoxiang? She's just an ordinary person. If you have a problem, come at me!"

God the hell is this duelist? Is this the duelist I imagined?

Qianyuan put away the Heavenly Fire Greatsword and transformed it back into her belt.

Toyokawa Shoko said, "Father, please don't get agitated. He is an absolutely trustworthy person. He was just showing you his strength."

She said very seriously, "There must be a reason why you left the Toyokawa family, right? Is it related to the so-called duelists? Tell me, I'm not an ordinary person anymore!"

Toyokawa Kiyoshi's expression showed inner struggle and hesitation, but after a few minutes, his expression calmed down.

"You are the sole heir of the Toyokawa family. You will have to go back there sooner or later, and you will have to find out sooner or later. Now that you have the power, you must bear all of this. You cannot escape it."

"It all started with the Card Spirits and the Duel Ritual. I don't know if it's a power from another world or the revival of ancient myths, but in any case, the Toyokawa family came into contact with extraordinary power."

"Of course, it's not just our family. Families similar to ours, as well as families above Toyokawa, are aware of this, but they keep it a secret from ordinary people."

"This extraordinary power is contained within cards, and must be used with the help of cards. Battles are fought using a ritual called Duel Game, which is usually a two-player battle using forty to sixty cards."

"Through each victory in a duel, the duelist's strength will increase, while losing a duel will only result in a period of exhaustion, but this refers to normal duels."

"In addition, there is a dark duel, in which the loser loses his or her power, lifespan, and even his or her soul."

Chapter 35: Why is it Yu-Gi-Oh!?

Toyokawa Kiyoko carefully explained the contents of the game to the two of them, including monster cards, spell cards, and trap cards.

The more Qianyuan listened, the more familiar it sounded. Damn, why does it sound so much like Yu-Gi-Oh!? Your girl band is collaborating with Konami too?

No wonder Kiyotaka Toyokawa lost 16.8 billion yen and was kicked out of the company; it turns out he lost the Dark Duel.

Considering that Yotsuya Miko and Jujutsu Kaisen were also sewn together, Chiyori was very surprised, but she still accepted this worldview with a blank expression.

He communicated with Toyokawa Shoko telepathically: "Where's the slice-of-life anime you promised? This world is too dangerous. There's more than one evil god in Yu-Gi-Oh! who can easily destroy the world."

Shoko Toyokawa responded, "It is dangerous and strange. My worldview doesn't have the Kaiba Group. This is different from the normal world of big stars. Could it be that there is no Yugi Muto or Seto Kaiba? They are reincarnations of Egyptian pharaohs and priests. They can't just disappear because of this."

Qianyuan said, "There may be differences from the pure Yu-Gi-Oh! worldview. After all, according to my dad, the existence of Duel Cards is still very secret and has not been promoted."

The two chatted happily in their telepathic connection, only listening to Toyokawa Kiyoshi's experience without intending to delve into it.

Clearly, Toyokawa Kiyotaka's dueling experience was not extensive, and he was no match for the two who had played cards together in their previous lives.

Finally, Toyokawa Kiyoshi said, "Although I have now been expelled from the Toyokawa family, I did receive news that, for some reason, the Duel Game ritual will be widely promoted in the near future."

"This is an inevitable trend, and it will not slow down just because the Toyokawa family is facing a generational gap. The Toyokawa family is also powerless to stop the tide of the times."

"No matter which family it is, if they cannot gain an advantage in this extraordinary wave, they will decline. This will be the most thorough reshuffling."

Kiyoshi Toyokawa said to Shoko Toyokawa, "If you want to get involved in this field, then go back to the Toyokawa family. Your maternal grandfather has been waiting for you. He knows much more than I do."

"But be careful, this is a life-or-death situation. I was lucky to survive, but your mother lost her life in the dark game."

Toyokawa Shoko said solemnly, "I understand. I will return to the Toyokawa family and ask my grandfather for clarification."

She left the rented apartment directly and went to the Toyokawa family home with Chiyuki.

Chizuru could sense the heaviness in Toyokawa Shoko's heart, while Toyokawa Kiyoko probably had no idea how terrifying the Yu-Gi-Oh! worldview was.

They both possessed a visionary perspective that transcended their time, but they were also well aware of the magnitude of the crisis they would face.

Most importantly, according to Kiyoyuki Toyokawa, the more powerful the card, the higher the dueling power required from the duelist; weaker players simply cannot control powerful monsters.

Chizuru and Toyokawa Shoko also saw this in the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. For example, not everyone can use the God Cards. Also, if you are too weak, you may even faint from exhaustion during a duel. Even if you draw good cards, it will be useless and you will be judged to have lost the duel.

This is ultimately extraordinary power, an extraordinary ritual.

"It doesn't matter."

Qian Yuan comforted her, "We have a unique advantage. The arrival of each 'me' and the improvement of each 'me' can increase the power within our bodies."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded. She was well aware of this as well; all versions of herself in every world were her strongest support.

Upon arriving at the Toyokawa residence, the family members clearly still regarded her as their young lady. Even when they saw that she had brought a man with her, they only glanced at her curiously without saying anything unnecessary.

Leading her to her maternal grandfather, the true head of the Toyokawa family, she glanced at Toyokawa Shoko, then scrutinized Chien with a critical eye:

"Is this your boyfriend?"

He loved Toyokawa Shoko very much, but his attitude towards his granddaughter's husband was not necessarily good. This was because he had already lost his daughter in the Dark Game, and in his eyes, his son-in-law was too useless, unable to protect his daughter, let alone avenge her or even resurrect her.

Therefore, if Qianyuan were weak, he would never acknowledge this feeling and would never allow him to step into the Toyokawa family.

Faced with this scrutiny, Honkai energy, curse power, and magic power surged within Qian Yuan's body. Because they were all sealed within him, he could confidently unleash the full power of this force.

Qianyuan's aura grew increasingly powerful and imposing, forcing even her maternal grandfather to take a few steps back.

"What astonishing spirit! You are far superior to that good-for-nothing, Xiangzi. Where did you find such a strong person?"

He had sent people to keep an eye on his granddaughter, but she had never seen this man before today.

However, he quickly came to terms with it. It was normal that the ordinary people he sent out couldn't track down such a powerful duelist, which actually strengthened his confidence in Qianyuan.

Toyokawa Shoko said, "He is not a duelist yet, but he was born with this power. We came here to become true duelists."

"Not a duelist yet?"

Grandfather's appreciation for Chiyuki grew stronger. If such a talented and beautiful person were to be brought into the Toyokawa family, the Toyokawa family would surely become great again.

His granddaughter has a much better eye than his daughter.

"besides."

Toyokawa Shoko's aura was not much weaker than Chien's. "My father is not a good-for-nothing!"

Her maternal grandfather was taken aback by her imposing manner, but he was not angry. If he wanted to inherit the Toyokawa family and take control of this huge clan, he couldn't be subservient; he had to have that kind of imposing presence.

"I'll take you to get the deck."

My grandfather led them away from the mansion by car to a heavily guarded place. After passing through several layers of identity verification, they finally saw the huge, technologically advanced instrument.

"All the cards are made using this machine."

Grandfather said with a wry smile, "When we say we're making it, we're really just sensing and guiding that power, and then encapsulating it in a card."

"It is said that powerful duelists do not need any equipment to assist them. During the duel, powerful card spirits resonate with them and they obtain new cards."

I understand, you mean printing cards, right?

In those games, when the main characters encounter a field they can't clear, they simply conjure up a new card out of thin air and crush their opponent.

At this moment, Qianyuan was pondering something: since cards are the manifestation of power, could the power of other worlds be created in the form of cards and added to the deck?

"Go up and resonate with the card spirit."

My grandfather said, "Ordinary duelists use decks without souls, but powerful duelists resonate with card spirits, which then reside in the cards, bringing them much help."

Chapter Thirty-Six: The Dark Magician Girl and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon

For a true duelist, the power of card spirits is essential.

If you don't possess much power yourself, then when facing a dark duel, the card spirit can protect you so that you can continue the duel normally, instead of being corrupted by the dark power during the duel.

If you encounter danger, the card sprite can also come out to protect you.

Even if you want to be in a relationship, the card sprite can be in a relationship with you.

I just don't know if the card sprites can participate in parties, or if they can get pregnant.

Standing beside the instrument, Toyokawa Shoko felt her consciousness become extremely sensitive after activating it. Her thoughts and power were amplified, sending signals to the outside world as if she were sensing something.

"This is the search for a Soul Card that can resonate with it."

My grandfather explained from the side, "An excellent duelist can master a variety of decks, but only by possessing the Soul Card of the Card Spirit can one form the deck most suitable for the duelist."

Gradually, a force was drawn out, and a graceful figure appeared on the blank card in the center of the instrument.

Both Chien-Yuan and Toyokawa Shoko sensed that a soul resided on that card.

"Is this what they call Card Spirits?"

The resonance was complete. Toyokawa Shoko picked up her card, which featured a blonde figure with delicate features, a slender waist, long legs, and strikingly fair skin on her chest.

"Dark Magician Girl." This character is quite in line with Chiyo's fetish. When he watched Yu-Gi-Oh! as a child, he longed to summon Dark Magician Girl to be his wife.

But now, isn't it a bit weak?

Grandfather came over and took a look: "It has an attack power of two thousand and a special effect. It's a very powerful card. Xiangzi, you really have potential."

Dude, is it really possible to brag about Dark Magician Girl? Are duels these days still just about who has the higher attack power?

Qianyuan asked, "Are there any restrictions in dueling games? For example, are certain overly powerful cards prohibited from use?"

"How is that possible? This is extraordinary power, an extraordinary ritual. Who can stop someone from using powerful cards?"

Grandfather gave Qianyuan a strange look. “If there’s a taboo, it’s that you must win by dueling. If you beat up your duelist with force, something very bad will happen.”

"Any desecration of the dueling ritual will bring terrible retribution."

My maternal grandfather looked very serious. The Toyokawa family had a great deal of influence in Japan, which was why they were able to learn about these underlying duel rules. In order to figure out these rules, all the major powers had paid a considerable price.

"That's okay."

Chiyuki and Toyokawa Shoko exchanged a glance. The Dark Magician Girl's words were just right to build a deck related to the Golden Vault and fuse to summon that powerful monster that had been stuck on the Forbidden List.

Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight.

Even in the context of later monster card battles, its strength is not weak.

Then it was Qianyuan's turn. After his power was channeled out, everyone in the room heard a dragon's roar, and a white dragon phantom descended and merged into the blank card.

It is a blue-eyed white dragon.

Qianyuan looked delighted. In the early stages of the game, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon deck was very powerful. In the later stages, after the invincible Tear of the Goddess was nerfed, the White Dragon deck was strengthened and successfully occupied a top-tier position in competitive decks.

"What a powerful monster card."

Grandfather was so excited he almost fainted just seeing the 3,000-point attack.

"I let you stay with your father, Xiangzi, because I wanted you to grow through setbacks and develop a mindset suitable for duels. I never expected you to bring me such a big surprise."

Toyokawa Shoko's expression was quite calm. In a world where playing cards could be deadly, she felt completely insecure without the invincible Tear of Victory in her hand.

But it doesn't matter. If she's on the verge of defeat in a dark duel, she'll just escape through the soul space. Let them come to another world and collect their price if they dare.

She and Qianyuan held hands and tried again. Just now on the device, they both felt that they could summon even more powerful spirits, but their current power was not enough.
