The End of the World Begins / Justice's Savior, the Chaos Phantom

With the aid of the two sacrifices, the Obelisk the Tormentor's aura rapidly rose to its peak, and he punched forward with both fists, unleashing a shockwave that could suppress everything towards his opponent.

Dartz said, "It's no use. Gods are not destroyed by effects, not even those originating from the characteristics of Egyptian Gods!"

The shockwave struck the Slifer the Sky Dragon and the Winged Dragon of Ra, but only caused the two Egyptian Gods to take a few steps back, without causing any real damage.

"Don't forget, in addition to its destructive effect, the Divine Fist Shatter Annihilation Wave also deals 4000 points of true damage."

Two illusory fists suddenly appeared in front of the Slifer the Sky Dragon and the Winged Dragon of Ra, piercing through their divine bodies, causing the two gods to let out painful cries.

The Slifer the Sky Dragon barely managed to withstand the attack, but the Winged Dragon of Ra, having paid 1000 life points to activate its special ability and taken a punch from the Obelisk the Tormentor while resisting control, was now almost depleted of its health and exploded like the sun falling to earth!

The punishment of the Dark Duel was activated. The spiritual energy backlash generated when the Egyptian Gods was destroyed, combined with the force of the Obelisk the Tormentor's fist, struck Dartz simultaneously. It was as if he had been hit by a demolition hammer. His body immediately arched backward, his bloodshot eyes bulged outward, and as he stretched his neck forward, he spat out a mixture of blood and saliva.

Their pitiful appearance made them seem as if they were about to be torn to pieces at any moment.

However, Dartz ultimately pulled through, at the cost of her body becoming like a tattered rag, bleeding profusely from head to toe.

"It's not over yet! Of the Three Egyptian Gods, the Winged Dragon of Ra is the most unique. It only unleashes its true terror when it enters the Graveyard. This is the moment I've been waiting for—activate 'Monster Reborn'!"

Dartz slumped his head, his arm striking out Spell Card in a strange posture. He looked like a puppet, no longer driven by his own nerves, but controlled by invisible threads, his body parts out of coordination.

Although "The Magician's Right Hand" is still on the field, this card's effect only works if there is Spellcaster Elf on your field.

An Ankh Cross pattern appeared on the field, and from its center, a large amount of divine flames rose from the ground, gradually condensing into the shape of a firebird.

Unlike the Slifer the Sky Dragon and the Obelisk the Tormentor, the Winged Dragon of Ra has a different form. When it is resurrected from the Graveyard, it will transform into the Immortal Phoenix form. At this time, it cannot be destroyed by battle or affected by any effects. At the same time, its ability power is further enhanced, changing from "Target a monster and destroy it" to "Target a monster and send it to the Graveyard".

This characteristic requires neither object selection nor effect destruction, and even Slifer the Sky Dragon and Obelisk the Tormentor cannot withstand it.

However, putting aside the fact that You Zhi! possesses an identification cheat, having watched the first Yu-Gi-Oh!! storyline, he couldn't possibly be unprepared for this, and immediately drew a Spell Card from his hand and played it.

"I activate 'Virtual World', selecting one Field Spell Card from my deck."

Virtual World is also one of the tactical cards for countering Seal of Orichalcos. If You Zhi hadn't happened to obtain the Vaylantz World before, he would use this card to search for it.

"Another area spell?"

Dartz's body trembled as if from an allergic reaction, but she quickly realized that she wasn't going to activate the barrier again, and said somewhat angrily, "It seems you're also helpless. What's the use of activating the field card now? There's no field card in the world that can counter a god!"

"I'm not going to fight a god, but your Monster Reborn. I've chosen the 'Necrovalley,' a field card passed down through the Tomb Keeper Clan —negate all Spell Card and monster abilities that involve the graveyard!"

Chapter 224 The Apocalypse Begins

The mission of the Tomb Keeper Clan, the final resting place of the royal family.

As the setting sun rose, the world fell silent, as if warning people not to disturb the peace of the dead.

The Monster Reborn shattered, and the Immortal Phoenix that was about to take shape also dissipated, turning into scattered starlight and ceasing to exist.

"Another blockade? I don't even need to use the Seal of Orichalcos, and you still want to interfere..."

Even though she was covered in sores and had a severe neck fracture, Dartz still looked up and stared intently at You Zhi, her eyes filled with murderous intent that was almost tangible, and her teeth were grinding together.

If You Zhi defeats him in a direct confrontation, although he fails to cleanse the world of its sins, he is willing to accept this outcome because it proves that humanity possesses the power to change its destiny and is not as useless as he imagined.

However, You Zhi actually adopted a strategy of interference, interruption, and blockade, targeting Dartz at every turn, making everything he did frustrating and frustrating from beginning to end. He couldn't even summon his strongest trump card Divine Serpent Geh. Initially, he wanted to stack three barriers before summoning it, but when the Obelisk the Tormentor appeared, the Divine Serpent Geh, which had no resistance, couldn't withstand the opponent's effect destruction. Even the triple barrier was just an ineffective spell effect rather than an elven trait.

How could Dartz accept defeat so easily?

You Zhi didn't care about the villain's thoughts. Whether the other party was willing or not was none of his business. Not to mention, seeing Dartz's almost murderous expression only made him happier. He felt refreshed and clear-headed, and even his cultivation of the Strength-Weakness Mimicry was rapidly improving.

"It's time to put an end to this battle. I activate the 'Machine Dragon Generator,' consuming 1000 life points to generate two Machine Dragon Tokens on the field."

You Zhi activated his last Spell Card, "Machine Dragon Generator," which was originally intended for the Phantom Emperor but had never had a chance to use. Unexpectedly, it came in handy now.

Two black shadowy creatures appeared on the field (Machine-Type, Earth, Level 1, Attack/Defense 300), and were casually scooped into the palm of the Obelisk the Tormentor.

"Obelisk the Tormentor's special ability activated! Two Pokémon were sacrificed, boosting attack power to infinity and soul energy to MAX!"

With the two derivatives sacrificed, the Obelisk the Tormentor's hands were once again filled with violent energy, and the two energies even resonated with each other, forming the symbol "∞".

"Damn it!"

Dartz was frantically crafting E-rank Spell Card, producing five in less than half a minute, which boosted the Slifer the Sky Dragon's attack and defense stats to 6000. But seeing this, he couldn't help but look despairing, realizing that his efforts were futile.

The Slifer the Sky Dragon unleashed its signature skill, "Thunderforce," unleashing a massive beam of lightning at the Obelisk the Tormentor, illuminating the entire palace as if it were daytime.

The Obelisk the Tormentor completely ignored this, threw a punch, charged forward despite the lightning cannon, and pierced through the mouth of the Slifer the Sky Dragon with unstoppable force, exploding its body with a single punch—it rarely had the opportunity to beat up the two brothers, so it seemed very excited, and even its punches were more powerful than usual!

The Dark Duel Punishment has been activated, and it's even stronger than before!

The backlash from the Egyptian Gods power, combined with the damage from its infinitely powerful attacks, struck Dartz simultaneously. His already tattered body could no longer withstand the strain, and he dissipated into particles amidst his resentful cries.

You Zhi sensed that the other party's aura vanished along with the power of Orichalcos, and the guards outside the room also fell unconscious.

He let out a long breath and was about to leave when Dartz's voice echoed in the room again, "Don't think you've won. The reason I dueled you was only to accumulate the dueling energy to revive my lord, and incidentally deplete the energy of the Egyptian Gods. Now that my lord is about to awaken, and the Slifer the Sky Dragon and the Winged Dragon of Ra have lost their ability to fight, there is no one left in the world who can withstand my lord. Embrace true destruction, hahaha--"

"Noisy!"

The Obelisk the Tormentor Heaven-Piercing Fist its arm and unleashed a powerful punch that shattered the upper floors, reducing the magnificent castle to ruins with only four walls remaining. Dartz's voice then vanished.

A dozen or so Pokémon Card slowly floated down from the sky, including Dragon Master Knight, Dark Magician, Slifer the Sky Dragon, and the Winged Dragon of Ra. For Dartz, who had already merged with the God of Orichalcos, these Pokémon were useless.

You Zhi leaped forward and caught the Pokémon Card, only to find that both God Cards had lost their luster, and the two Egyptian Gods were in a state of reconstructing their spiritual bodies, making them impossible to summon.

Clearly, this was something Dartz did intentionally.

In the original story, the God of Orichalcos was defeated by the Three Egyptian Gods working together. Dartz, who witnessed the ending of the parallel universe, could not possibly be unprepared.

Suddenly, the entire city of Atlantis trembled violently, and jagged cracks appeared in the ground. Accompanied by the sound of waves crashing like missiles, a colossal sea serpent, larger than the Three Egyptian Gods, burst forth from the sea.

This sea serpent was covered in jet-black scales, with thorn-like spikes all over its body. It exuded intense malice, as if it embodied all of humanity's negative emotions. A person with a weak will might go mad just by looking at it.

"Hahaha, the countdown to the end of the world has officially begun, and the first step will start in my hometown."

Dartz, Polymerization with the sea serpent, appeared atop its head. With a chilling command, the sea serpent unleashed a massive beam of destructive light towards the city.

A deafening explosion, amidst a blinding halo, completely destroyed Atlantis, leaving only scattered fragments floating on the sea.

You Zhi and his group managed to escape the explosion in time by riding on the Pokémon, and reunited to confirm that everyone was safe.

Marik glanced at Rishid, who had been rescued by Yuan Ying, and after letting out a long breath, he didn't forget to thank Yuan Ying.

"There are still many people on the island who are unconscious; they all died in the explosion just now, and there's no way to save them."

Yuan Ying looked down at the wrecked sea, a look of self-reproach on her face.

You Zhi said, "Now is not the time for reflection. If we don't stop them quickly, more people will die soon."

Having had her attention successfully diverted, Yuan Ying looked at the sea serpent flying in the air and frowned, saying, "How should we deal with an enemy like this?"

As they spoke, the Obelisk the Tormentor charged forward and engaged the God of Orichalcos in battle.

"We misunderstood the Obelisk the Tormentor; it turns out it can fly too..."

You Zhi knew his focus was a bit strange, but he really didn't expect that the Obelisk the Tormentor, known as the HERO of the earth, could fly. He thought the pair of wings on its back were just for show, but they actually worked. They weren't just decorations, even though its lineage was Fighting-type and ground combat.

"You still have the mind to care about this?" Yuan Ying said irritably. "The Obelisk the Tormentor is at a disadvantage, but it can't defeat the enemy by itself. Let's send out our own ace."

As she was about to summon Elemental HERO Neos, Isis stopped her. "Ordinary elves are not qualified to intervene in battles of this level. Sending them out would only result in them suffering spiritual backlash."

"What should we do then? We can't just stand by and watch?"

Marik smiled mysteriously and asked You Zhi, "You didn't summon it, did you?"

"Yes, conserve your energy as much as possible, that's what we need now."

Yuan Ying asked in confusion, "What are you two talking about?"

You Zhi did not answer, but instead, together with Marik and Isis, drew Pokémon Card from the void and summoned their respective phantoms.

Then, he quickly crafted a Spell Card, which was "Dimension Fusion Destruction"!

Chapter 225 The Savior of Justice: Chaos Phantasm

"Hahahaha, so what if it's Egyptian Gods? A mere Obelisk the Tormentor, does it think it can stop my lord?"

Dartz, now merged with the God of Orichalcos, launched a fierce attack on the Obelisk the Tormentor with a maniacal laugh. Although the difference in their strength was not yet overwhelming, the outcome was clearly decided.

The Obelisk the Tormentor slammed its fists into the massive sea serpent's body, shattering its black scales and creating a gap. But before it could capitalize on the opportunity to inflict further damage, a dense aura of malevolence surged from the gap, and the dark spiritual energy almost solidified, forcing it to retreat.

Immediately afterwards, the giant sea serpent's spikes fired beams of light outwards, which hit the Obelisk the Tormentor and caused a series of explosions. Then, with a flick of its body, it sent the Obelisk the Tormentor flying.

"Hmph, with the Three Egyptian Gods incomplete, no one in the world can stop me now!"

As someone who had received a good imperial education, Dartz shouldn't have been so smug, but firstly, his fusion with the God of Orichalcos was bound to have an effect, and secondly, the previous duel was just too frustrating, and now that he finally had a chance to vent his frustrations, he couldn't hold back any longer!

After venting his anger on the Obelisk the Tormentor, Dartz finally regained some of his composure and immediately remembered the instigator. His rage, anger, and resentment surged up, and he vowed to use the most brutal methods to ravage You Zhi and make him pay a heavy price for his disgusting tactics!

With a quick glance, Dartz immediately locked onto You Zhi and his group, and saw that they had summoned the Phantom Emperor, the Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder, and the Uria, Lord of Searing Flames. His brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't take it to heart.

"It seems this is their last trump card. Unfortunately, the Three Sacred Beasts are ultimately just inferior substitutes for the Three Egyptian Gods. To think they can stand against our Lord with them is wishful thinking."

However, just as he was about to launch an attack, You Zhi raised a Spell Card high, and the space above suddenly twisted and spiraled, drawing in the Three Sacred Beasts, which merged into one under the illumination of dark golden light.

A moment later, a colossal Demon God emanating an aura of chaos appeared in mid-air. It had the head of the Phantom Emperor, the wings of the Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder on its back, the upper body combining the features of each of them, the lower body of the Uria, Lord of Searing Flames's dragon body, and its left hand was simply the Uria, Lord of Searing Flames's dragon head.

[Armityle the Chaos Phantasm (12 stars) Dark]

[Lineage: Dragon, Evil]

[Level: 80]

[Attack Power: 0 (10000)]

[Defense: 0 (0)]

[Fiend, Effect: This card is unaffected by Trap Card effects, negates Spell Card effects during the activation phase, and cannot be destroyed by battle. While this card is face-up on the field, its ATK increases by 10,000 only during your turn.]

Considering the actual combat strength, You Zhi stood in the right palm of the Chaos Phantasm Demon without hesitation and flew towards the enemy.

Dartz said with a look of apprehension, "When Marik went to great lengths to summon the Three Sacred Beasts, I didn't think much of it, thinking he was just wasting his time and that the Three Sacred Beasts couldn't possibly be a match for our Lord. I never imagined that the Three Sacred Beasts would have an even more advanced Fusion Form. So this was his real purpose."

You Zhi declared righteously, "The audacious villain Dartz, who has revived Evil God with the intention of destroying the world, is utterly depraved and condemned by all. Today, the Armityle the Chaos Phantasm will act on behalf of Heaven and uphold justice to eliminate you!"

The Chaos Phantasm stood tall and proud, glancing at the wounded Obelisk the Tormentor beside him. A slight smile played on his lips, and the dragon head on his left hand let out a proud roar, filled with contempt for evil.

Today, I am the righteous one, above the Three Egyptian Gods!

Dartz's lips twitched slightly, and the anger she had barely managed to suppress surged up again. "Could you please say the name again and feel the aura emanating from Him? Where on His body is there any connection to justice?"

It must be admitted that Chaos Phantasm's appearance is actually more villainous than that of the God of Orichalcos. After all, the latter is just a sea serpent, only slightly larger in size, while the former is more like a combination of terrifying monsters, deserving the treatment of a final boss in the Ultraman world.

Furthermore, although not purely evil, chaos often symbolizes disorder and chaos, and is similarly disliked by the world.

Ultimately, since they're all demons, they naturally have no connection to truth, goodness, or beauty.

But You Zhi was not about to admit defeat verbally. He immediately snorted and shouted, "I thought that as a former emperor, you would have some profound insights to offer before the battle. I never expected you to judge a book by its cover and utter such ridiculous words! Have you not heard that the distinction between good and evil lies in actions, not appearances? The God of Orichalcos destroyed the world and poisoned all living beings for his own selfish desires. He is an unforgivable Evil God. But the Armityle the Chaos Phantasm has stepped forward today to save the world. He is the messenger of justice, the representative of peace, and the heroic spirit of savior!"

Dartz opened her mouth, feeling that what the other person said made a lot of sense...

"No! I awakened my Lord to extinguish the darkness in people's hearts and cleanse the world of its sins."

You Zhi was too lazy to argue with the other party about the existence of both darkness and light in people's hearts; after all, he wasn't the protagonist of a typical shonen manga.

"Hmph, stubborn and unrepentant, you still won't repent even when death is imminent. I've already given you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Then don't blame me for showing no mercy."

When have you ever given me a chance?

Before Dartz could refute, the Chaos Phantasm charged forward menacingly, seemingly blessed with high morale and enhanced abilities. Its signature skills, such as Heaven-Ravaging Fist, Hyper Blaze, and Thunder of Fallen Paradise, rained down upon her.

For a moment, the God of Orichalcos was at a disadvantage!

In an attempt to turn the tide and withstand the opponent's peak condition, the sea serpent's scales bristled, and countless spirits controlled by malevolent thoughts emerged from them, charging towards the Chaos Phantasm. Their aim was not to inflict damage, but simply to buy time and deplete its stamina.

Seeing this, You Zhi hesitated whether to summon two elves as sacrifices so that the Obelisk the Tormentor could unleash its Divine Fist Shatter Annihilation Wave.

Just then, he heard Marik's voice. "Here, this card!"

A Pokémon Card, aided by the Millennium Item, flew through the air and was precisely caught by You Zhi's fingers. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the card depicted Chaos Phantasm, clearly Skill Card of the same type as "Heaven-Ravaging Fist".

Without hesitation, I decisively took the picture.

"I activate 'Armityle the Chaos Phantasm - Void Illusion Rasengan' to banish all of my opponent's Pokémon to another dimension!"

At a command, the Chaos Phantasm spewed out a thick black mist, mixed with particles resembling fragments of spacetime, causing all the elves that came into contact with it to vanish into thin air.

The God of Orichalcos was unaffected, but he also failed to achieve his goal of delaying the enemy. Instead, he wasted a lot of energy. Dartz knew that continuing to fight would inevitably lead to defeat, so he made a decisive move to decide the outcome in one move!

The sea serpent immediately opened its mouth and spewed out an energy wave containing endless evil intent, making the sea, which was covered by dark clouds, as bright as day.

Not to be outdone, the Chaos Phantasm placed its left hand on its chest, Uria, Lord of Searing Flames opened its mouth to spew out an energy wave containing chaotic energy to meet the attack head-on.
