Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World
"While I really want to summon [Invoked Mechaba] from your graveyard, to synergize with the remaining card in my hand, I'll choose [Fossil Warrior Skull Knight] from my own graveyard."
The young cowboy Jim glanced regretfully at the direction of Jiang He's Duel Disk in the graveyard, but after looking at the only card left in his hand, he gave up the temptation and looked at Jiang He, saying...
Immediately, he raised his Duel Disk as a signal!
"Rise, [Fossil Warrior Skull Knight]!"
"Roar!!"
As a burst of orange-yellow light shone from the graveyard of his Duel Disk, a faint light appeared on the field in front of him, transforming into the blue-cloaked skeleton warrior monster's silhouette!
"Tsk, you actually resisted the temptation to resurrect the monsters in my graveyard?"
Seeing this, Jiang He actually looked somewhat regretful and clicked his tongue.
Fortunately, the "surprise" he prepared for the young cowboy Jim still came in handy!
The next second, to the bewildered gaze of Jim, the young Jim in the distance, Jiang He suddenly smiled and raised his hand, gesturing towards one of the three hidden cards on the field in front of him!
"At this very moment! Activate the ambush card, the perpetual trap [Call of the Haunted]!"
... Please give me flowers...
A familiar perpetual trap with a tombstone and purple smoke pattern suddenly appeared on the ground in front of Jiang He!
"This guy, he actually laid a perpetual trap [Call of the Haunted] there waiting...!"
The onlookers, including Chazz Princeton and Alexis Rhodes, were immediately speechless, and a bead of cold sweat appeared on their faces!
If that Jim from before activated the Spell Card [Monster Reborn] and chose NTR to revive and summon a monster from Jiang He Graveyard...
According to the chain rule that when Spell Card and a Continuous Trap Card are activated in sequence, the card activated later takes effect first.
It must be Jiang He He's Continuous Trap [Call of the Haunted] that took effect first, reviving the monster from its own graveyard.
... And Jim's [Monster Reborn] Spell Card effect, once it loses its target for resurrection, is essentially Null and Void...!
Meanwhile, Jim, the young cowboy who was his dueling opponent in the distance, also looked like he was constipated, his face dark with suppressed rage!
They actually dug this pit for him to fall into!
Especially seeing that familiar silver bandaged angel monster [Invoked Mechaba] figure, which Jiang He revived on the field once again.
Jim's face practically turned green!
The reason he resisted the temptation and chose to summon the monster from his graveyard was to coordinate with the effect of the other Spell Card in his hand, [Time Stream], which he had just used once.
The resurrected Fusion Monster [Fossil Warrior Skull Knight] undergoes further reverse evolution, allowing for the Special Summon an even stronger Fusion Monster!
Let's turn the tide!
But now, Jiang He has deliberately timed this crucial moment to revive the troublesome [Invoked Mechaba], which can only disrupt the opponent's monster-locking effect when the opponent Special Summon a monster.
It really stuck him in a difficult position, making him very uncomfortable...!
Clearly, this guy had been harboring malicious intentions from the very beginning, digging a pit for him to fall into!

"However, since you're attacking, if this [Invoked Mechaba] is resurrected, then as long as I can destroy it in battle, I can still break through its restrictions!" After a painful silence, the young cowboy Jim finally made his choice with a flash of insight. "[Fossil Warrior Skull Knight] attacks [Invoked Mechaba], Fiery Slash!" "Hah!!"
As Jim Crocodile Cook waved his hand, the cloaked skeleton warrior monster in front of him roared and leaped into the air, its longsword blazing as it swiftly slashed down at the silver bandaged angel [Invoked Mechaba] figure in front of Jiang He!
"210" Although I have an easier way to solve it, let me meet my "family" first!
Seeing the incoming attack, Jiang He remained completely calm, smiling as he pointed to one of the two Ambush Cards on the field in front of him! "At this moment, activate the Ambush Card, Quick-Play Spell [The Book of the Law]!"
A Quick-Play Spell bearing the image of a blue gemstone tome erupted from the ground before him, creating a deafening roar!
The next second, a blue six-pointed star summoning magic circle quickly emerged from the ground in front of Jiang He, below the silver bandaged angel [Invoked Mechaba] figure that was about to be attacked!
"That's... the magic circle pattern that appeared when Fusion Summon monsters with 'summoned beast' in their names?!" Whether it was Alexis Rhodes and Rei Saotome watching from the sidelines, or the young cowboy Jim in the distance, they all recognized it in surprise!
"The effect of the Quick-Play Spell [The Book of the Law] allows you to Tribute one 'Summoned Beast' Fusion Monster on your field to Special Summon another 'Summoned Beast' Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, whose original attribute is different from the monster you paid out!" "I choose to Tribute [Invoked Mechaba] to Special Summon another Fusion Monster, [Invoked Raijin]!" Whoosh!
As Jiang He finished speaking, the figure of [Invoked Mechaba] in the blue six-pointed star magic circle in front of him instantly transformed into another figure of a black-armored sword-wielding warrior amidst a rising pillar of light!
He appeared in front of Jiang He with a low growl!
[Invoked Raijin]
[Star Rating: 5]
[Attribute: Wind]
[Attack Power: 2200]
[Defense Strength: 2400]
"Come see my family. jpg" Even though it has become another Fusion Monster, its attack power of 2200 is still lower than my [Fossil Warrior Skull Knight]! Attack continues!
Jim immediately waved again!
However, the next second, he quickly understood what Jiang He meant by "there is an easier way to solve it"!
"Activate the special effect of [Aleister the Invoker] in your hand. As a cost, discard it to the Graveyard. This increases the ATK of one Fusion Monster you control by 1000 for the rest of this turn!"
Jiang He slowly and smilingly showed one of the cards in his hand!
"Buzz!!"
The next second, a burst of red energy suddenly lit up the black-armored, sword-wielding warrior monster [Invoked Raijin] figure on the field in front of him!
As if injected with power, its attack power increased by 3200 points!
In the blink of an eye, they retaliated against the cloaked skeleton warrior monster that was slashing down!
"Roar!!"
The longsword, crackling with electricity, instantly severed the descending skeleton warrior's sword, and in a flash, destroyed the sword itself, exploding into a cloud of fire and smoke!
Jim's face twitched instantly, and he fell silent...
Suddenly, a crazy urge surged within him to complain to Jiang He.
If you could achieve that effect, why didn't you activate it directly earlier!
If we had attacked directly just now, wouldn't we have been able to defeat him just the same?!
They even showed him what the other Fusion Monster looked like before using the attack-boosting effect...!
Torture, pure torture!
[Ding! Jim's Emotion Points +600!]
His remaining [2000LP] health points were reduced by 800 from the damage caused by the battle, leaving him with [1200LP]!
With Jim now only having one useless card left in his hand and the board empty, the outcome of this duel was clearly a foregone conclusion.
As long as it's Jiang He's turn next, he can win by attacking directly!
"I lost this duel."
Jim, looking utterly embarrassed, readily admitted defeat.
Encountering the same type of deck and being completely outmatched in every aspect is arguably the most frustrating situation!
Especially someone who uses such a suppressive deck is quite cunning.
"Aren't you going to hold on to 5.3 a little longer...?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang He clicked his tongue in slight regret.
He stated that he still has a few "family members" who can bring "warmth" to his opponents, but he hasn't summoned them yet!
"Phew!!"
As the duel ended, everything on the field blurred and disappeared, and a familiar orange-yellow light flashed on the silver watch-like Survival Duel device worn by the young cowboy Jim on his wrist.
Jim, who had been feeling utterly defeated upon hearing Jiang He's words, suddenly felt weak, clutched his chest, and knelt down.
Immediately, everyone's attention shifted from the duel to the important matter at hand!
There's also the matter of Professor Cobra that needs to be resolved!

Evening, in the living room of the luxury cabin.
"Senior, Jim has been taken to the infirmary. After examining him, Nurse Fontaine said there's nothing seriously wrong; it's just a symptom of overwork."
Tyranno Hassleberry sat on the soft cloth on the floor, holding two rice balls in his hands, and spoke to Jiang He, who was leaning against the sofa.
"Since Jim seems to be in very good health, he should be almost fully recovered after a night's rest."
"It seems like the situation is similar for both Jaden- senpai and Johan- senpai."
After their duel with Jim, Jiang He and Alexis Rhodes returned to the Slifer Red dormitory.
Jim, naturally, was helped back by his goofy little dinosaur brother and taken to the infirmary.
Both Jaden Yuki, that hot-blooded idiot, and that little blue-haired Johan were taken to the infirmary together.
"As long as there are no problems over there, that's fine."
Jiang He nodded upon hearing this, then popped a piece of sushi into his mouth and continued to ask.
"While I was dueling with Jim, did you and Chazz Princeton find the location of that Professor Cobra's lair?"
"Isn't it only natural that I Chazz Princeton Thunder, would personally take charge?"
Upon hearing this, Chazz Princeton, who was cautiously eating a rice ball next to Tyranno Hassleberry, who was still traumatized, suddenly looked proud and said...
"Under my guidance, we easily located the site of a small military research base!"
"Although I didn't see Professor Cobra come out from that direction with my own eyes, the signal became exceptionally strong near that area, so there's no mistake!"
"This is the power of the legendary detective of the dueling world, Chazz Princeton Thunder! So, junior, how about switching careers and becoming my underling?!"
After boasting smugly, Chazz Princeton chuckled confidently, draping one hand over Tyranno Hassleberry's shoulder while continuing to stuff rice balls into his mouth with the other.
He went on a hilarious stunt, even poaching Jiang He He's underlings right in front of everyone!
"Ugh...!!"
The next second, before he could even finish speaking, he clutched his neck, his face turning green!
Then, in a flurry of activity, he grabbed the water bottle next to him and gulped it down!
Only then did he reveal a "come back to life" expression...
"..." Tyranno Hassleberry, Alexis Rhodes Asuka, Rei Saotome, and the others were all speechless.
Even Jiang He couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
For a moment, I didn't know how to complain.
Has this idiot reached the point where he'll get beaten up no matter what...?
