Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Traumatizing the World
[Defense: 1600] "Thump... Crack!!"
As the [Arcana Force VI - The Lovers] gray-black doll monster was summoned, a card above it immediately began to rotate clockwise.
Then, at the signal from the Sartorius, he stopped directly in the correct position without any attempt to conceal it!
"[Arcana Force VI - The Lovers] The effect of the upright position allows one monster to be used as two when offered as a tribute to a monster whose name contains ' Arcana Force '!" Sartorius's fanatical smile widened even further! "Now all the conditions are met!"
Almost the instant he finished speaking, the puppet monster figure of [Arcana Force VI - The Lovers] seemed to separate, becoming two separate entities.
"What?! If one can be used as two sacrifices, then if we also include the [Arcana Force VII - The Chariot] that was already on Sartorius's field, that's three sacrifices!" Hearing Sartorius's words, Alexis Rhodes, who was standing some distance away, exclaimed in surprise as if she had just realized something.
Those are the specifications required to summon a god!
However, the summoning conditions for beings like the Egyptian God Cards are even more stringent, requiring three sacrifices for Normal Summon.
The current appearance of that Sartorius seems to suggest that he is about to undergo Special Summon.
Just like the ultimate D. hero summoned by Aster Phoenix before, Plasma!
Jiang He immediately guessed what that old fox, Sartorius, was trying to summon from afar! In his memory, the only monster in the opponent's Arcana Force deck with such demanding summoning conditions was that monster that was on par with, or even stronger than, the Light Dominator.
"I will Special Summon [Arcana Force VI - The Lovers] and [Arcana Force VII - The Chariot] from my field as tributes!"
"Buzz!!"
As the crazed, exaggerated smile on the Sartorius West's face faded, the two monstrous figures on the field in front of him, along with the puppet-like monstrous figures he had created, instantly transformed into three purple pillars of light, shooting straight upwards!
Even the spacious hall of the Obelisk Blue dormitory began to shake, and gravel started to fall!
"Use the pure white Light of Destruction to rule the darkness, the light of annihilation will reign supreme! Descend! [Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler]!" The Sartorius raised his hand with a ferocious expression, slamming one of his remaining two cards onto his Duel Disk, and roared. "Roar!!"
In the blink of an eye, the three purple beams of light merged into one, transforming into a dazzling purple-white light of destruction!
A monstrous figure quickly emerged from it, its entire body pitch black, with two tentacle-like black Vice Dragon heads on its back!
It roared and howled as it appeared in the arena in front of the Sartorius!
[Arcana Force EX: Dark Ruler]
[Star Rating: 10]
[Attribute: Light]
[Attack Power: 4000]
[Defense Strength: 4000]
"This is... Saiou's trump card monster, even stronger than the previous Lord of Light?!"
In the distance, Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, Bastion Misawa, and the others all showed expressions of shock.
Looking at the enormous, ferocious figure of the Dark Ruler monster on the dueling arena in the distance!
This [Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler] is almost identical to the previous Light Ruler. The only difference is that it has some white patterns and two huge, black, ferocious Vice Dragon heads with curved ram horns that represent demons!
"... So it really is the Dark Ruler..."
Upon seeing the ferocious monster's figure, Jiang He's face immediately revealed an expression of "I knew it!"
However, he remembered that in the original timeline, the deck of the Sartorius of Light of Destruction's Arcana Force should not have included [Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler].
Rather, it was the ace monster that was born when the old charlatan Sartorius, having broken free from the consciousness of the Light of Destruction, inadvertently fell back into darkness.
Unexpectedly, his presence has caused a slight change in the situation.
This [Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler] was created by the power of the Light of Destruction and appeared prematurely. "Thump thump thump... Crack!!"
(Qian Nuo Zhao)
The instant [Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler] was summoned, a card image immediately appeared above it and began to rotate clockwise.
And soon, unusually, it remained in the inverted "reverse position"!
"That Sartorius actually chose the 'negative effect' of reversing the position this time?! The country!" Seeing this, Chancellor Sheppard, who was standing some distance away, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Although this was the first time he had seen Sartorius's Arcana Force deck, after seeing the previous Arcana Force monsters where the positive effects were represented in the correct positions...
I've already gained some understanding of this deck.
Unexpectedly, this time, the Sartorius cheated and controlled the effect, keeping it in the reversed "negative" position!

"Could it be that the reversed position of [Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler] isn't a negative effect?!"
Seeing that Sartorius was controlling the card image above [Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler], which was in an inverted, reversed position, Bastion Misawa, who was watching the battle with him, couldn't help but guess in surprise.
"Hmph! How could foolish mortals possibly comprehend the power of gods!"
Upon hearing this, the Sartorius's face contorted into a smug grin as he spoke.
Even his hair suddenly spread out like bat wings as he looked in Jiang He's direction!
"[Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler] Reverse position effect! When it leaves the field, destroy all cards on the field!"
Furthermore, during your next Standby Phase, you can Special Summon back to your field!
"In other words, whether it's your [Torrential Tribute] or the [Karma Cut] trap you used in your duel with Prince Ojin, it's an effect that allows you to discard a card from your hand and banish a monster from your opponent's field!"
"Before [Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler], everything will appear pale and powerless!"
Upon hearing his words, Alexis Rhodes, Jaden Yuki, Professor Crowler, and the others in the distance all changed their expressions!
If a monster can be revived and Special Summon back to the field during each Standby Phase after leaving the field, then the monster summoned by the opponent is practically immortal!
In particular, once [Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler] leaves the field, it will destroy all cards on the field!
Furthermore, in that Sartorius's deck, there was a monster like [Arcana Force XIV - Temperance], which he used in his duel with Aster Phoenix, capable of withstanding a crucial battle's damage.
Even if Jiang He wanted to launch a surprise attack, it would be extremely difficult!
If the surprise attack fails, the Dark Ruler with a whopping 4000 attack power will revive and return to the field during the opponent's next turn.
That would be a fatal situation!
"Jiang He...!" Alexis Rhodes clenched her fist and looked towards Jiang He, a hint of worry on her face.
However, she soon discovered, to her surprise, that even under these circumstances, Jiang He didn't seem worried at all...
Even after seeing the smug look on the Sartorius's face, his smile only grew wider.
This guy, could he even have a way to deal with such a dire situation?
Alexis Rhodes was taken aback, a slight sense of relief mixed with bewilderment as she thought, "She can still laugh...?!"
The Sartorius, who had originally wanted to see a look of panic on Jiang He's face, quickly noticed the situation.
This made him immediately turn ugly, and he snorted coldly, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Even if you still have a third Spell Card [One Day of Peace] in your hand, it's only enough to prolong your life for one more turn in the face of the absolute power of fate [Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler]!" My turn is over! It's your turn, Jiang He!
Because of the damage reduction effect of Jiang He's Spell Card [One Day of Peace] activated in the previous turn, it only ended in this turn.
After summoning this trump card monster, Sartorius was forced to end his turn without being able to do anything for the time being!
He just wanted Jiang He to finish the round as quickly as possible, and then use the immense power of [Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler] to crush them completely!
"Let this damned human brat realize his powerlessness and succumb to the power of fate!" Since you're in such a hurry to reincarnate, I'll kindly help you out. My turn, draw a card! Jiang He raised an eyebrow and drew a card from his Duel Disk deck.
After glancing at the card he had drawn, the smile on his face instantly became even brighter!
One of the many support cards that brought warmth to that old, cunning Sartorius, Saiō, has finally arrived.
His World Lock Deck, aside from three key cards, consists mostly of cards that grant "high-level immunity" and rapid card draw, as well as support cards used to initiate underworld chain combos. Once he draws any one of these cards, his Top-Tier Clear Mind" ability allows him to begin his attack! "Activate the Spell Card from my hand, [Graceful Charity]!"Jiang He immediately displayed the card he had just drawn!
A familiar Spell Card, depicting a white-clad, blonde angel holding a card in her hands, suddenly appeared on the field in front of him! "This card's effect is: draw three cards from your deck and add them to your hand, then choose two cards from your hand and discard them to the graveyard!" Jiang He said with a faint smile, drawing cards from his deck again.
This time, he even used the divine draw ability of the Top-Tier Clear Mind! Is Jiang He going to make a move?!
Sensing the familiar duelist aura emanating from Jiang He, Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, and Kaiser Zane Truesdale all paled! Soon after, Jiang He, without even glancing at the card he drew, smiled and showed off the first card he had drawn along with another card in his hand, then placed them into his Duel Disk Graveyard!
"I choose to discard my second Level 1 monster [Samsara Lotus], which I just drew, and an Level 8 monster from my hand to the Graveyard!"
"Another 1-star monster, [Samsara Lotus], was sacrificed to the graveyard?!"
Seeing Jiang He discard a card to the graveyard, everyone, from Sartorius, his dueling opponent in the distance, to Jaden Yuki, Kaiser Zane Truesdale, and the bald- Chancellor Sheppard Samejima, couldn't help but show expressions of astonishment!
A vague sense of unease began to form in my mind!
If they remember correctly, in the first round before, Jiang He used the effect of [Armageddon Knight] after it was summoned to send one [Samsara Lotus] from his deck to the graveyard!
Although they didn't know what kind of monster the Samsara Lotus was, it didn't stop them from keeping a close eye on it!
Sartorius immediately felt extremely uneasy.
It's like some outrageous, supernatural event is about to occur!
Chapter 444 You didn't expect that, did you? I have it too! [Please subscribe]
"Next, activate the Spell Card from your hand: [Monster Reborn]!"
From a distance opposite, under the watchful gaze of the Sartorius, Jiang He smiled faintly and directly took out one of his remaining five cards to indicate his presence!
A Spell Card with a familiar blue-green cross pattern suddenly appeared on the field in front of him!
"This card's effect allows you to Special Summon any one monster from either player's Graveyard to your field!" "Is it to revive that Level 1 low-level monster, [Samsara Lotus], that you just sent to the Graveyard?" Sartorius frowned in confusion and guessed.
Even those in the distance, including Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, and Bastion Misawa, all showed expressions of curiosity.
Soon, Jiang He smiled and said something to the Sartorius.
"No, I choose to resurrect one of the ace monsters in your graveyard, [Arcane Power 21. World]!"
"Resurrect, the World (World)!" As Jiang He's voice fell, a beam of orange-yellow energy suddenly lit up from the graveyard of Sartorius's Duel Disk in the distance!
In the blink of an eye, it flew out and landed on the ground in front of Jiang He, transforming into a huge, gray-black, ring-shaped mechanical alien monster!
It emerged with a low growl!
[Arcana Force 21? World]
[Star Rating: 8]
[Attribute: Light]
[Attack Power: 3100]
[Defense Strength: 3100]
Jiang He didn't even choose to revive; he had just used the effect of the Spell Card [Graceful Charity], sacrificing the Level 8 monster in the Graveyard along with Samsara Lotus, along with his own [Arcana Force 21? World].
Instead, with a twisted sense of humor, they chose the one from the NTR Sartorius's graveyard...! "What?!"
Upon seeing Jiang He's chosen target for resurrection, the Sartorius was shocked and his eyes widened.
Even those watching from a distance, including Alexis Rhodes, Chazz Princeton, and Bastion Misawa, were astonished by what they saw.
"Senior actually chose to revive Sartorius's trump card monster?!" Tyranno Hassleberry exclaimed in surprise. However, while the effect of [Arcana Force XXI - The World] is powerful, it gains a positive effect in its proper position, but a negative effect in its reverse position? It's bound to be controlled by Sartorius, right?! Thump thump thump...!
Almost the instant that [Arcana Force XXI - The World] was Special Summon from the opponent's graveyard to his own field by Jiang He, a card image immediately appeared above it and began to rotate clockwise.
"Hmph, you're courting death! Let me decide your fate! This time, the card will definitely land in reverse!" After a brief moment of astonishment, the Sartorius quickly broke into a triumphant, maniacal laugh and looked at Jiang He.
