Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World
"Jiang He, why don't you hide for a bit, or have a duel with me to avoid the opponent?" Chumley immediately suggested to Jiang He.
Syrus Truesdale immediately nodded in agreement!
Having learned from the experience of his Jaden brother, Jaden, they were indeed somewhat traumatized by the world's third-ranked professional duelist, X.

"So they really came..." Jiang He raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
And it came even more urgently than he had anticipated. "Jiang He...!"
Upon hearing the news brought by the goofy dinosaur underlings Tyranno Hassleberry and Syrus Truesdale, Alexis Rhodes and Rei Saotome were both taken aback!
They all looked at Jiang He with a hint of worry!
He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Actually, they were also considering whether to persuade Jiang He to temporarily avoid his opponent today, and to wait until they had studied his deck and made some adjustments before dueling with him!
It wasn't that they thought Jiang He was bound to lose.
Rather, it's that X, who is, after all, the world's third-ranked professional duelist. Even if some skilled individuals haven't joined the professional dueling world, being ranked third in the world doesn't mean there are only two duelists stronger than him.
However, this achievement is enough to demonstrate how formidable the other party is!
Adjusting your deck based on information about your opponent is perfectly normal.
Even in the professional dueling world, this is a fairly common basic tactic.
"Don't worry, I know a bit about that 827 X deck that uses card reduction." Jiang He immediately guessed what Alexis and the others wanted to say, and calmly shook his head.
When it comes to the sheer audacity of his decks, Jiang Daishanren is second to none!
This is a contest between people from the underworld!
Seeing Jiang He He's calm demeanor, Alexis Rhodes and the others immediately felt a little relieved.
He didn't say anything more.
In no time, Jiang He and his group left the luxurious cabin and arrived at the open space in front of the Slifer Red Dormitory not far away.
Soon they spotted the figure of a sinister-looking middle-aged man wearing small glasses and sporting a middle-part hairstyle.
With a hint of decadence and sleazy on his face, he was carrying a handbag and confronting Kaiser Zane Truesdale, Chazz Princeton, and Bastion Misawa Daichi. Compared to the solemnity of Kaiser Zane Truesdale and Chazz Princeton, the middle-aged sinister man was clearly not under any pressure and maintained a completely relaxed demeanor.
It must be that professional duelist hunter, X, hired by that old charlatan, Sartorius!
"Oh... the main character has finally appeared. This must be Jiang He, the so-called 'Duel Academy Underworld Duelist,' right?" X chuckled and raised his hand in front of him, speaking to Jiang He with an air of great politeness.
At the same time, he took out a silver GX coin badge and gestured to Jiang He. He introduced himself, "I am X, a professional duelist who has come to challenge you to a duel, and one of the participants in this World Duel Tournament GX."
"After hearing that there's a duelist student at the Duel Academy who uses a unique deck similar to yours, making opponents feel frustrated, I've been eager to spar with you." Although X was quite professional in concealing his employer-employee relationship with Sartorius, Jiang He could naturally tell that what the other party was saying was all nonsense...
"If you're looking for underworld duelists, then you've probably come to the wrong person, because they all call me the Healer of the Soul."
Seeing the other party's string of nonsense, Jiang He shrugged and said in a serious tone.
"And I'm the complete opposite of you. I'm a healer who brings 'healing' and 'warmth' to people's hearts, while you, who use (BAFC) grotesque decks, are destined to be punished by my righteous justice!"
"..." Upon hearing this, Alexis Rhodes, Kaiser Zane Truesdale, and the squinty-eyed Professor Banner, among others, all fell silent.
Even the professional dueling hunter, X, looked at Jiang He with some confusion.
I really want to ask Jiang He a question.
How did you manage to say that without even blushing?!
Because he had chosen the wrong duel target last night, he made a point of gathering more information about Jiang He this time.
Knowing about this seemingly harmless young man's dueling record, as well as his reputation within the Duel Academy and even outside... it's truly astonishing what you find out.
Even as a professional duelist, X felt some pressure.
The extent of this young man's wickedness is simply outrageous.
It's said that one of the tennis captains from the elite Obelisk Blue dormitory at the Duel Academy, after dueling with this guy, was so depressed that he didn't eat for a day, and then decided to give up dueling altogether, intending to focus solely on playing tennis from now on...
"So, it seems you've agreed to the duel." After regaining his composure, X chuckled and continued to Jiang He. "Of course, the rules of this World Duel Tournament made this duel unavoidable," Jiang He said matter-of-factly.
Immediately, he took out a deck of cards and put it into his Duel Disk, while tempting the other party with a question, "But that ugly old man over there, how about adding some more prizes...?" "An ugly old man...?" Professional Duel Hunter X's face twitched, and he suddenly really wanted to punch this kid!
The duel hasn't even started, and you're already resorting to personal attacks?
"Since you've offered this suggestion so readily, let's increase the amount on the reward card in my briefcase as a further wager," X, lifting the briefcase to indicate its presence before setting it aside and squinting at Jiang He.
Since this kid named Jiang He wants to die, then let him suffer the double torment of defeat and huge losses!

Soon, Jiang He and the middle-aged, sinister-looking man with small glasses, X, were standing facing each other on opposite sides of the open space in front of the Slifer Red Dormitory!
Meanwhile, Alexis Rhodes, along with the squinty-eyed Professor Banner, Chazz Princeton, and the others, all stood at a distance, watching the situation unfold with somewhat grave expressions.
"Then the duel begins." X also took out a deck and placed it into the Duel Disk. "Duel!" "Duel!"
As Jiang He and the middle-aged, sinister-looking man X, spoke at the same time, their Duel Disk immediately lit up with red light, and the dueling began instantly!
After both players drew five starting cards, the same [4000LP] Life Points appeared around them! "As a guest of the Duel Academy, I'll go first. My turn, draw!"
The middle-aged, sinister-looking man X, seized the initiative by drawing cards from his own Duel Disk deck, finding a pretext to do so.
Upon seeing the card he had drawn, a smile immediately appeared on his lips.
Then, he directly pointed to the card and said, "I activate the Spell Card from my hand, [Card Destruction]!" A Spell Card with an image of a hand discarding several cards immediately appeared.
"This card's effect: both players simultaneously discard all cards from their hands, then draw cards from their decks equal to the number of cards discarded!" "They're using Card Destruction opponent right from the start?" Bastion Misawa and the others watching exclaimed in surprise. "They've been reducing my deck size since the very first turn?"
Jiang He immediately saw through the intentions of the middle-aged, sinister-looking man, X, in the distance. He placed his cards in the graveyard and drew five more, saying...
The opponent was clearly trying to disrupt his hand while simultaneously reducing the number of cards remaining in his deck. "Hmph, it seems you're quite familiar with my signature deck tactics," X said with a sinister smile.
Similarly, based on the effect of his own activated Spell Card [Card Destruction], he discarded all five cards remaining in his hand to the Duel Disk graveyard, and then drew five new cards from his deck!
"Next, I activate the effect of the trap [Moth Lamp LV4] that I just sent to the Graveyard using the Spell Card [Card Destruction]!" "When this card is sent to the Graveyard by an effect, you can Special Summon one Level 4 or lower monster from your Deck." X spoke, a faint light appeared on the back row of the field in front of him, and the shadow of Trap Card with the image of a Moth-Lantern reappeared!
A faint orange-yellow energy emanated from it, landing on the field in front of him! "I choose to Special Summon [Trap Jammer] from my Deck in Attack Position!" "Squeak!!"
As X finished speaking, a faint light suddenly appeared in the orange-yellow energy, transforming into the figure of a one-eyed mechanical monster with purple and silver joints, resembling a spider with a triangular support!
It appeared in the arena in front of him with a strange cry!
[Trap Jammer]
[Star Rating: 4]
[Attribute: Dark]
[Attack Power: 800]
[Defense Strength: 800]
"Finally, I'll hide two more cards, turn over!"
With a series of "thump-thump" sounds, two enormous hidden cards appeared on the field in front of the middle-aged, sinister-looking man, X. "Hmph, begin your turn, young man," X said with a sinister smile, clearly looking forward to it. "I know without you urging me. My turn, draw a card!" Jiang He also drew a card from his Duel Disk deck!
After glancing at the card he had drawn, a smile immediately appeared on his lips.
Has it arrived? One of the key cards to bring a smile to the other person's face!
"I wonder what deck Jiang He is using this time...?" Chazz Princeton wondered with some curiosity.
Everyone else watched Jiang He's next move with great curiosity.
From the cards that were sent to the graveyard due to the effect of the opponent's Spell Card [Card Destruction],.0 (Seeking flowers...)
They vaguely saw a card like the trap [Waboku], a card that could prevent damage for a turn and prevent monsters on their field from being destroyed by battle...
Soon after Jiang He added the drawn card to his hand, he took out a Spell Card and placed it on the Duel Disk to activate it! "Activate Spell Card from my hand, [Final Countdown]!"
A Spell Card with a dark purple, ghostly face-like cloud covering the ground, depicting a massive army of despair, suddenly appeared on the field in front of him!
"[The Final Countdown]?!"
Whether it was their dueling opponent, X, or the onlookers like Kaiser Zane Truesdale, Bastion Misawa, and others, they all couldn't help but show expressions of confusion.
Look at this Spell Card with its imagery filled with despair!
Clearly, even X, a professional duelist for many years, had never seen this card before!
We don't know the effect yet!
Everyone immediately turned to look at Jiang He, waiting for his explanation!
"[Final Countdown] effect: Pay 2000 LP as a cost to activate. On the 20th turn total for both players after this card is activated, I will instantly win the duel!"
Jiang He, his face beaming with a sunny smile, looked at the sinister-looking middle-aged man in the distance and said to X, "In other words, your life, from this moment on, has entered its countdown!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dark purple clouds immediately filled the sky above, and even the color of the sky changed!
An orange will-o'-the-wisp, representing the first turn's count, emerged from it! "What?! It's Spell Card that unlocks a special victory condition!" X exclaimed in surprise!
I never expected Jiang He He's deck to pull this stunt on me!
This means he must end the duel within twenty rounds, or rather, ten long rounds!

"I didn't expect that besides the Exodia the Forbidden One and the legendary perpetual trap, the Spirit Board, there would be other ways to achieve a special victory." The middle-aged, sinister-looking man X, frowned slightly, but quickly chuckled and continued speaking with a smile.
"But even with such Spell Card, it can't change your fate of defeat, young man." "Because I will easily destroy your deck before the twentieth turn!" "At this moment, activate the Ambush Card! Continuous Trap [Monster Counter]!"
As he spoke, X suddenly raised his hand and gestured towards one of the two hidden cards on the field in front of him.
A trap with a pattern of a brown, gaping monster-like machine box bearing the number "827" was suddenly opened!
"This card's effect costs 1000 LP to activate. As long as it's on the field, when either player Normal, Flip, or Special Summon a monster, they must send cards from their Deck to the Graveyard equal to the Level of the summoned monster!" The middle-aged, sinister-looking man X, chuckled gleefully. "Buzz!!"
As X's original health decreased by 1000, the cost of activation became [3000LP].
A brownish-red monster box with a large mouth, identical to the one on the exposed trap, appeared in the background of the opposite field with a flash of light! It displayed a scoreboard-like panel counting the monster's level, as if it were ready to seize all the cards in Jiang He's deck and swallow them into the graveyard at any moment!
"Is this a restriction on Jiang He's ability to summon monsters?" Kaiser Zane Truesdale, who was watching from the sidelines, said with a change in expression upon seeing this.
From this card, he saw a huge threat that Jiang He could pose!
The opponent's Spell Card [Card Destruction] effectively reduced the number of cards in Jiang He's deck by discarding cards from his hand and drawing new ones.
Adding to his initial hand, Jiang He now only has 29 cards left in his deck. With this Continuous Trap [Monster Counter], even if Jiang He randomly summons a normal monster, many more cards will inevitably be reduced from his deck and sent to the graveyard!
"But if such a trap is activated, then the opponent will also be restricted from summoning monsters, right? Right now, that middle-aged ugly uncle has one less card in his deck than his senior!"
Tyranno Hassleberry nearby, looked at the middle-aged, sinister-looking man X, in the distance with some confusion and said something about the situation on the field.
"He also Special Summon an extra monster from his deck to the field, which is equivalent to removing an extra card from his own deck!"
"Hmph, it's precisely because Special Summon this monster [Trap Jammer] from my Deck to my field that I can activate this trap at will!" Upon hearing the commotion outside the field, the middle-aged, sinister-looking man X the other side chuckled and said.
"[Trap Jammer]'s special effect is that as long as it's on the field in Attack Position, I'm unaffected by Trap Card effects!" In other words, the only one who needs to send cards from their deck to the Graveyard to summon a monster is you, buddy over there."X said, looking at Jiang He with a smug expression on his sinister face.
