God-Eating Dragon: Did I banish myself?

"Come forth, my Snake-Eye Deck's strongest ace, [Obelisk the Tormentor]!"

A blue figure, following Ouyang Yanyan's soft cry, gradually solidified.

First, a thick arm appeared, followed by its massive and powerful body. With a roar, it materialized on the field.

After it appeared, immense pressure washed over them. Feeling this pressure, Youye found it utterly ridiculous.

What kind of genius uses Snake-Eye field presence like this? It's absurd!

As for Ouyang Yanyan obtaining Obelisk, he wasn't surprised. Wang Cheng and Luo Hao had explained it to him during their chat at the Duel Association at noon. Gods have very high status among Spirits, but they aren't impossible to gain recognition from.

Generally, reaching Heaven-tier makes it easy to gain recognition from normal divine Spirits and thus obtain God Cards. On the contrary, very few Heaven-tier experts bother with God Cards because their strength is decent at Earth and Mystic Levels, but completely falls behind starting from Heaven-tier.

Furthermore, if a 'God' feels the Duelist communicating with them has good potential, Mystic and Earth Level Duelists can also obtain their cards. This is different from the Gods in the anime of his original world. He could understand this. The status of a God's Spirit is high, but this is a world centered around dueling. As for the effects of God Cards, well, those who know, know.

[Obelisk the Tormentor] [Divine-Beast Type/Effect/God/Level 10] [ATK: 4000; DEF: 4000]

"Senior, how's my strength?" Looking at Obelisk's appearance, Ouyang Yanyan proudly showed off her strength and potential to Youye.

According to records, she was the only one to obtain a God Card at the Mystic Level in the past decade, which showed how high her potential was!

Also, Obelisk had 4000 Attack, couldn't be targeted by effects, and had the super strong effect of Tributing two monsters to destroy all of the opponent's cards. Combined with her Snake-Eye Deck, it was like adding wings to a tiger.

Opponents at the same Mystic Level all fell before her field, but unfortunately, her field was too unstable. She had no cards to search for Obelisk and could only rely on hard drawing it.

"...The first thing you do later is get rid of Obelisk. We mainstream Duelists don't need to summon Obelisk to one-punch the opponent to death. We should be thinking about how to win elegantly and overwhelmingly!" Youye replied with a dark expression.

Summoning a vanilla 4000 Attack monster after all that setup? What's the point? To become a Meteor Token? Might as well summon Mekk-Knight Crusadia Avramax and be a wall that's incredibly difficult to overcome.

"...Okay." Seeing Youye's dark expression and obvious disdain, Ouyang Yanyan, though confused, thought of Youye's strength and understanding of dueling and agreed unconditionally.

"Senior, is Obelisk very weak? This is a God Card, it has targeting immunity, it's a wall that average Duelists absolutely cannot overcome." Sheng Ning was confused by Youye's disdain. If her Ancient Gear Deck hadn't made Ultimate Golem, facing Obelisk would have been incredibly stressful.

Runick also had some difficulty facing it because Runick's Freezing Curses and Blazing Fire both target. Even if Youye made Baronne, Baronne's first effect also targets and cannot affect Obelisk. In other words, Youye's Runick couldn't clear Obelisk.

Of course, the most important thing was that she had tried communicating with Obelisk, but it completely ignored her.

"Next turn, I'll show you how to clear it." Youye glanced at Sheng Ning. He naturally knew Sheng Ning meant that Runick cards all target and couldn't clear Obelisk, and that Obelisk wasn't that weak.

In reality, her words weren't wrong. If he hadn't obtained Trishula from the Dark Duelist, he would indeed have to reveal another of his Divine Class generic Trump Cards to clear it.

"Next turn?" Hearing Youye say that, Sheng Ning was very surprised.

"It's just targeting immunity, it's not difficult." After speaking, he looked at Ouyang Yanyan, who was stunned after he said he could clear it next turn, and said, "You still have one more step for your field, continue."

"Okay!" Ouyang Yanyan instantly snapped out of it after hearing that. She knew she couldn't lose her composure again, or Youye might not want her, which would be a huge loss.

"I activate the effect of Great Flame Demon in my Spell/Trap Zone! I place a Snake-Eye monster from my Graveyard in my Pendulum Zone, then Special Summon it in Attack Position! Then, End Phase."

After completing the final step and declaring the End Phase, she looked at the monsters on her field that she had been so confident in, now without any confidence. Somehow, she felt that in the next turn, both Great Flame Demon and Obelisk would be gone.

"My turn, Draw!" Youye drew a card, looked at it, then asked Ouyang Yanyan, "Anything during the Standby Phase?"

"No, I have no interruptions. Senior, feel free to proceed." Ouyang Yanyan looked at her field and replied.

Youye nodded and began clearing the board.

"I Normal Summon [Naturia Antjaw], then activate its effect! I Tribute it! Since the monster with the highest Attack on the field is on your side, I can Special Summon two Naturia monsters with Level 4 or lower! I choose to summon [Naturia Camellia] and [Naturia Sunflower]!"

"Camellia's On-Summon Effect! I can send a Naturia card from my Deck to the Graveyard! I choose to send [Naturia Sacred Tree] to the Graveyard! Sacred Tree's effect when sent to the Graveyard! I can add a Naturia card to my Hand! I add the Quick-Play Spell [Naturia's Spring Breeze] to my Hand!"

"Next, the effect of Runick Golden Droplet! I choose to Special Summon a Runick monster from my Extra Deck! I choose to Special Summon Munin! Munin's Summon Effect! I Discard Rage Storm from my hand and add the Continuous Spell Runick Allure to my Hand!"

Having done this, Youye looked at Ouyang Yanyan and seriously reminded her.

"Watch closely how fragile a monster with mere targeting immunity is!"

"Okay." Ouyang Yanyan nodded seriously, waiting for Youye's next move. Sheng Ning, who was watching, also looked on with anticipation. No matter what generic card Youye took out, it would be a discovery for their Inspector Bureau.

"I Tune the Level 4 Tuner Camellia with the Level 2 Sunflower and the Level 3 Munin!"

"Holy Spear wielded by the God of Destruction, pierce through the city of demons!"

"Synchro Summon! Level 9 [Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]!"

[Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier] [Dragon-Type/Synchro/Effect/WATER/Level 9] [ATK: 2700; DEF: 2000]

ROAR!!!

Three dragon roars sounded simultaneously, and a white dragon with three heads appeared on Youye's field amidst the swirling ice and snow.

"Trishula, the Ice Barrier Boss Monster?" Sheng Ning was stunned, completely abandoning her prepared notes.

Ice Barrier wasn't an obscure Archetype; it was a powerful one. And most of the Ice Barrier Dragon Boss Monsters were quite generic, which wasn't a secret among many Master Duelists. Profound-level Duelists like her could know about them, but very few below Heaven-tier actually owned them.

The reason was that the Ice Barrier Dragons were all incredibly ill-tempered. If the communicating Duelist wasn't strong enough, they would directly blast them out of the Communication Space with their breath, highlighting their volatile nature.

There were even rumors that a Yellow-level Duelist who tried to communicate with an Ice Barrier Boss Monster was tormented half to death and gave up being a Duelist after coming out.

None of that was important. What made Sheng Ning feel strange at this moment was Youye's name for Trishula - Holy Spear wielded by the God of Destruction.

You have to understand, Obelisk the Tormentor has another name: God of Destruction... Erm, now that she knows Trishula's Effect, she's not sure how to evaluate Youye's play. She just hopes Youye holds back a little later and doesn't do anything too outrageous. Offending a Spirit from the God Archetype might not have much impact now, but it could be a problem when he enters the Spirit World in the future.

Obelisk the Tormentor also noticed this and was a bit confused.

He had just appeared not long ago, and his duelist's opponent immediately brought out Trishula. Bringing it out was one thing, but calling Trishula the Holy Spear Wielded by the God of Destruction?

Did he have Trishula as a spear? How did he not know?

No, that wasn't the main point right now. As one of the Egyptian God Cards among the Spirits, he naturally knew Trishula's Effect.

If everything went according to plan, he was about to be Banished by Trishula?

In other words, if everything went according to plan, he was about to be Banished by his own spear? To put it simply, he was Banishing himself?

What in the world was going on?!
