Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck and Depressing the World
"Wait! Just before your turn ends, activate the Ambush card, the Trap [Interdimensional Matter Transporter]!"
Two seconds after Jiang He finished speaking and ended the turn, the gray-bearded, bespectacled old man, Eisenstein, finally reacted and quickly pointed to one of the three Ambush cards on the field in front of him!
A trap with a silver-purple mechanical device was suddenly opened!
"This card's effect allows you to target one monster on your field and banish it until the end of the current turn!"
"I choose to remove [Laplace the Netherworld Arithmetician] from my field!"
As the gray-bearded, bespectacled old man, Eisenstein, finished speaking, a burst of silver-purple void energy immediately lit up the opened trap [Interdimensional Matter Transporter].
In the blink of an eye, the figure of the ram-headed skull Fuma in front of him was teleported away and temporarily disappeared!
"Huh? Temporarily banishing the monsters on your field before the end of Jiang He's turn—is that even useful?"
Nearby, Jaden Yuki, Syrus Truesdale, and Chumley, three academic underachievers, scratched their heads in confusion and asked questions.
Normally, those traps are used to temporarily banish your monster when your opponent's monster effect is about to destroy it, allowing you to avoid destruction, right?
"That's because the effect of that underworld blood-draining monster [Laplace the Netherworld Arithmetician] activates every time it leaves the field!"
Both Chazz Princeton and Bastion Misawa spoke with grave expressions.
"That's right! Activate the special effect of [Laplace the Netherworld Arithmetician]: When it leaves the field, inflict 300 damage to your opponent for each card remaining on the field!"
The gray-bearded, bespectacled old man, Eisenstein, quickly chuckled and clenched his fist, saying...
"Each card deals 300 points of damage?!"
Upon hearing this,
Alexis Rhodes, along with Rei Saotome and Jaden Yuki, saw this monster for the first time, they were all startled.
"That old Eisenstein has two Ambush cards and one Field Spell on his field, while you, senior, have four Ambush cards! That means you'll have to take damage from seven cards, totaling 2100 points?!"
Tyranno Hassleberry quickly calculated in surprise!
Moreover, this is the result even though the senior did not summon any monsters this turn. If he had summoned any monsters just now, then according to the effect of the opponent's Field Spell [Relativity Field], even the attack power of the senior's monsters would probably have been directly locked down and reduced to an extremely low level!
"Young man over there, very good math skills. And you over there, take this 2100 points of effect damage from [Laplace the Netherworld Arithmetician]!" The gray-bearded, bespectacled old man, Eisenstein his hand in signal.
The illusory image of the Fuma in the skull and ram's head mask and cloak reappeared faintly in the dark, star-studded cosmic space.
It gave a sinister laugh, and a burst of scarlet energy shone from its eyes!
It took effect on Jiang He!
Jiang He Jiang He calmly crossed his arms, showing no reaction whatsoever to the virtual pain effect of the crimson energy. Even the damage from Shadow Duel could be withstood by the power of his Mark of the Crimson Dragon; now, this virtual pain damage from a normal duel could be easily ignored without even using the power of the Mark of the Crimson Dragon. However, his original [4000 LP] health points decreased by 2100 with this effect, becoming [1900 LP]!
"Even Jiang He took 2100 points of damage right from the start...!"
Seeing this, Alexis Rhodes looked towards Jiang He with some concern and frowned as she spoke.
Even Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, and Bastion Misawa wore solemn expressions.
Most importantly, and it's not just about the damage dealt this time. (Requesting flowers...)
And then there's that troublesome underworld monster that drains health, [Laplace the Netherworld Arithmetician], which will immediately return to the opponent's field after Jiang He's turn ends.
In other words, Dr. Stein can continue to perform similar actions after it is his turn!
Even if Jiang He's four Ambush Cards contain traps that could destroy that monster, it would be very difficult to activate them!
After all, once activated, destroying [Laplace the Netherworld Arithmetician] and forcing the opponent out of the field...
It will immediately trigger that monster's troublesome blood-draining effect!
However, it wasn't long before Alexis Rhodes and the others, who were familiar with him, noticed that Jiang He still didn't seem worried at all.
O even carries a hint of mischievousness...
Could this guy's new deck be even within the realm of the underworld?!
Upon realizing this, the expressions on the faces of Alexis Rhodes, Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, and the others suddenly became somewhat strange.
They instantly became somewhat expectant, wondering what kind of bizarre deck Jiang He would use this time! "Then, when your turn ends and it's my turn, [Laplace the Netherworld Arithmetician], which was temporarily banished due to the trap [Interdimensional Matter Transporter], will return to my field!" At the same time, the gray-bearded, bespectacled old man, Eisenstein, also spoke after being slightly surprised by Jiang He's calm demeanor.
He was also a little unsure about the young man's situation...
Despite losing 2100 LP of health right from the start, he remained remarkably calm and showed no concern whatsoever.
He even had a feeling that this young man named Jiang He seemed quite "satisfied" with the large amount of health points he had reduced this time!
This caused old man Eisenstein to fall silent.
A vague sense of foreboding began to surface in my mind... Maru.

However, the gray-bearded, bespectacled old man Eisenstein, didn't have time to think much and could only draw cards from his own Duel Disk deck first. "My turn, draw!"
After glancing at the card he had drawn, old man Eisenstein glanced at the four hidden cards on the field in front of Jiang He. Then, with a confident smile, he placed the card he had just drawn onto the Duel Disk and activated it! "Activate Spell Card from hand, [Wormhole]!"
A Spell Card with a pattern resembling a black vortex crack or Wormhole suddenly appeared on the field in front of old man Eisenstein!
"This card's effect: banish one monster you control until your Standby Phase after drawing a card next turn, then '890' returns to the field!" "Banning a monster you control again?!" Tyranno Hassleberry exclaimed in surprise, suddenly realizing something!
Everyone else's expression changed as well.
Once [Laplace the Netherworld Arithmetician] leaves the field again, the opponent's underworld-like damage reduction effect will be triggered again!
Moreover, there are still a full 7 cards on the field at this point!
If Jiang He takes another 2100 points of damage, his remaining [1900LP] health will be completely wiped out!
"While I don't know if any of the four cards you've laid down contain traps that could restrict my attacks, I have plenty of ways to reduce your life points, no matter what!"
The gray-bearded, bespectacled old man Eisenstein, immediately waved his hand confidently, indicating, "The one I choose to exclude, of course, is my own [Laplace the Netherworld Arithmetician]!" "Buzz!!"
As he finished speaking, the figure of the Fuma with the skull and goat's head mask was once again excluded and disappeared from the Wormhole vortex that appeared below.
"Next, activate the special effect of [Laplace the Netherworld Arithmetician]! When it leaves the field, inflict 300 damage to your opponent for each card on their field!" "With this second round of 2100 damage, your defeat is already sealed!" "Solvadorana (that's not necessarily true)!"
Just Eisenstein was speaking confidently, he suddenly saw Jiang He raise his hand, a smirk playing on his lips, and point to one of the four Ambush cards on the field in front of him! "At this instant, activate the Ambush card, Counter Trap [Solemn Strike]!"
A trap featuring a white-bearded old man casting Raigeki to punish a nun suddenly appeared on the ground in front of Jiang He!
"Pay 1500 LP as a price. When a monster effect is activated, Null and Void and destroy that effect!" Jiang He waved his hand with a smile.
"Since this [Laplace the Netherworld Arithmetician] likes to leave the field so much, then I'll help it stay in its banished position forever!" "Divine Thunder Punishment!" Crack!
As his words fell, the phantom of [Laplace the Netherworld Arithmetician], a magician with a skull and ram's head mask, reappeared on the field in front of Jiang He, ready to inflict effect damage. But the next second, a massive orange-yellow lightning bolt was instantly released from the counterattack trap [Solemn Strike] that had been opened on the field in front of Jiang He!
He blasted it into phantom fragments with a scream, and it vanished completely! "What?!"
Seeing Jiang He completely Null and Void and destroy [Laplace the Netherworld Arithmetician], the old man with the bespectacled beard, Eisenstein, was immediately shocked!
I never expected Jiang He to set up such a trap! Well done!
Seeing this from a distance, Bastion Misawa immediately brightened, and he praised it.
"This not only avoids the fatal effect damage from [Laplace the Netherworld Arithmetician], but also ensures that if a banished monster's effect is Null and Void and destroyed while it's casting its effect, it won't be sent to the Graveyard, but will be permanently banished!"
"In other words, even if Dr. Stein wanted to use Spell Card like [Monster Reborn], he wouldn't be able to revive [Laplace the Netherworld Arithmetician]!" Chazz Princeton chimed in, equally invigorated. "This means we no longer need to worry about the annoying Bloodthirsty monster's effect damage!"
"However, even if you avoid this fatal 2100 damage effect, you still paid the price of 1500 LP to activate the counterattack trap [Solemn Strike]. I can reduce the remaining [400 LP] of health at any time in the next turn!"
The gray-bearded, bespectacled old man, Eisenstein, immediately placed his last card on the Duel Disk. "I'll just hide one more card. End of turn!"
With a loud "thud," another huge, hidden card appeared on the field in front of old man Eisenstein. "My turn, draw!"
Jiang He drew one card from his own Duel Disk deck in 5.2.
Immediately, a bright smile spread across his face as he pulled out a card from his hand and looked at the gray-bearded, bespectacled old man in the distance, saying with a grin, "My life points are indeed down to only [400 LP], so I've decided to borrow some from you, Dr. Yugi, so we can be friends!" He then activated the Spell Card, [Friendship. Yugi and Joey Wheeler]!
A Spell Card depicting King of Games Yugi Muto and his best friend Joey Wheeler shaking hands suddenly appeared on the field in front of him!

Chapter 426 I thought it was a plea, but it turned out to be a robbery! [Please subscribe]
"[Friendship. Yugi and Joey Wheeler]?!"
Upon seeing Jiang He activate this Spell Card, everyone watching, including Alexis Rhodes, Chazz Princeton, and Bastion Misawa, was shocked.
Even the old man Eisenstein, who was his dueling opponent, couldn't help but show a bewildered and curious expression in the distance.
There are even Spell Card like this?!
It is named Joey Wheeler the King of Games Yugi Muto and his best friend Jonouchi.
Could it be Spell Card used to embody the power of friendship and bonds?!
In an instant, Jaden Yuki and the Chazz Princeton immediately showed excited and expectant expressions.
Even old man Eisenstein looked at Jiang He with a hint of curiosity, waiting for his explanation.
Then, Jiang He, with a sunny smile, said, "This card's effect allows you to invite your opponent to shake hands. If they agree, then both of your life points will be split equally!" "Of course, you can also choose to refuse, you old doctor over there." "So it's an effect that requests your opponent to split your life points?" Hearing Jiang He's words, the gray-bearded, bespectacled old man Eisenstein, immediately felt relieved.
Then, with a matter-of-fact smile, he said, "There's absolutely no need to consider this; of course, I'll refuse!" "Then, trigger the second effect of the Spell Card [Friendship. Yugi and Joey Wheeler]!"
Seeing that old man Eisenstein refused, Jiang He He's smile only became brighter.
The gray-bearded, bespectacled old man, Eisenstein, widened his eyes in shock, his face turning green with rage! At the same time, he drew Quick-Play Spell from his hand, featuring several of his close friends, including Yugi Muto and Joey Wheeler, and declared, "When you have the Quick-Play Spell [End. Unity] in your hand, even if rejected, the other party must force a handshake and share my life points!" Jiang He declared, "This friend, you have to make it today whether you like it or not! Forced Friendship. jpg" "N-N-what?!"
You can't even refuse!
Is this some kind of forced handshake to make friends, essentially stealing half of his health?!
He thought it was a "prayer," but it turned out to be a "robbery"!
[Ding, Eisenstein's Emotion Points +800!] "Pfft...!!"
Even Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, and Bastion Misawa, who were watching from a distance, all spat out a mouthful of water upon hearing this!
At the same time, he instantly wanted to mentally unleash a torrent of abuse on Jiang He!
Stop it! The friendship between Yugi Muto, the King of Games Duel, and his friends isn't like that!
And the gray-bearded, bespectacled old man Eisenstein, could only succumb to the effect of the Spell Card [Friendship. Yugi and Joey Wheeler] activated by Jiang He on the field.
With a dark expression, he arrived at the center of the dueling arena and shook hands with Jiang He!
He even secretly exerted some force in his anger, trying to vent his frustration! "Ugh!!" The next second, the old man Eisenstein's face turned dark green as he screamed, almost knocking his dentures out!
He suddenly felt a force, even greater than the force he could exert himself, emanating from Jiang He's hand!
Holy crap, this young man!
They have absolutely no respect for the elderly or children!
[Ding! Dr. Stein's Emotion Points +900!]
This left Alexis Rhodes, Chazz Princeton, Bastion Misawa, and the others watching from a distance speechless with exasperation!
I instantly guessed what was going on.
At this moment, she/they only wanted to say one thing to Dr. Dr. Stein.
Why did you provoke him?!
If they had simply split their life points equally and let some cunning guy get the better deal, nothing would have happened! And as the two shook hands, under the effect of the Spell Card [Friendship. Yugi and Joey Wheeler] on Jiang He's field...
