Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World
"At this very moment, activate the Ambush Card! Trap [Ring of Destruction]!"
A trap with a green bomb pattern surrounding a flint wheel was suddenly lifted from the ground in front of Professor Frank, whose expression had become somewhat twisted and sinister!
"This card's effect can destroy one monster on the field, causing both players to take damage equal to that monster's ATK!"
"Unbelievable! Professor Frank's trap was actually a [Ring of Destruction] specifically designed to destroy monsters!"
On the stage, in the distance, the host with the pompadour hairstyle exclaimed in surprise!
Even those in special spectator positions in the distance, such as Alexis Rhodes and Akiza Izinski, as well as Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, and Bastion Misawa on the other side, couldn't help but show a hint of shock!
I never expected Professor Frank to have made such preparations!
Now, the situation seems to be turning somewhat unfavorable for Jiang He!
"Based on my research into the psychology of duels, it's generally believed that lower-level monsters in a series often lose their universal effects when transformed into higher-level ace monsters within the same series, as a price to pay for the transformation into other powerful effects!"
Hearing the surprised commotion around the arena, Professor Frank, in the distance opposite, quickly turned to Jiang He with a smug chuckle, looking at the square-faced middle-aged man in gray-black priest's robes who was his dueling opponent...
They looked completely confident of victory!
They were even waiting for Jiang He to break down emotionally, giving him an opportunity to use psychological suggestion and hypnosis.
"I'm sure I'm right, aren't I?"
"While you did guess the first part correctly, unfortunately, the special effect of [Thunder Dragon Colossus] allows you to banish one 0.4 Thunder-Type monster from your Graveyard in its place when it is destroyed by an effect or battle!"
However, before Professor Frank could gloat for long, he suddenly heard Jiang He say to him with a smile.
"And right now, I happen to have two ThunderClan monsters in my graveyard! They can be used as a substitute for destruction!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, the smug expression on Professor Frank's face, fixed on the square-faced middle-aged man in gray-black clothes in the distance, froze, turning into a painful, dark expression!
This could easily replace the effect of destruction, instantly making his previous smugness look somewhat like that of a clown!
Absolutely unforgivable!

"Based on the effect of the Fusion Monster [Thunder Dragon Colossus], banish [Thunder Dragondark] from my Graveyard and destroy it in its place!"
Upon hearing the familiar, pleasant system notification sound, Jiang He immediately smiled with satisfaction and raised the Duel Disk he was wearing to signal.
At the location of the cemetery above, a burst of orange-yellow light suddenly appeared! "Buzz!!"
A dark, Vice Dragon phantom suddenly appeared in front of the [Thunder Dragon Colossus], directly taking the brunt of the incoming Ring of Destruction explosion!
It roared and transformed into a burst of faint particles, deliberately being pushed away and disappearing!
"So this is Prince Jiang He's trump card monster! It's incredibly powerful!"
Furthermore, because the selected target was not destroyed, the [Ring of Destruction] trap will not deal damage! Both sides' health points remain intact at [4000LP]! On the stage, the host with the pompadour hairstyle, seeing this, immediately and enthusiastically announced, "It's not just that!"
From a special spectator position some distance away, Jaden Yuki, Yusei Fudo, and Jack Atlas all looked astonished and immediately realized something more! Because [Thunder Dragondark] was banished by the effect of that Fusion Monster [Thunder Dragon Colossus] instead of being destroyed, its special effect, which could only be activated after being banished, could now be triggered!
"Activate the special effect of the banished [Thunder Dragondark]! When it is banished, you can add one card with ' Thunder Dragon ' in its name to your hand from your deck!" Under the watchful gaze of Professor Frank, who was staring at the square-faced, gray-clad man in the distance as his dueling opponent, Jiang He smiled and raised his Duel Disk to signal.
A burst of orange-yellow light suddenly shone from the deck above, and another card automatically popped into his hand, signaling him to play! "I choose to add this Spell Card with ' Thunder Dragon ' in its name to my hand!" "Then, I activate the Spell Card I just added to my hand, [Thunder Dragon Polymerization]!"
Jiang He immediately placed the indicated card onto his Duel Disk to activate it!
A Spell Card with a Polymerization pattern of two orange dragon-shaped energies swirling around it suddenly appeared on the field in front of him!
"This card's effect allows you to return the materials needed for a Thunder-Type Fusion Monster from your field, Graveyard, and banished zone to your Deck for Fusion Summon!" "What?! It can even use banished monsters as Polymerization Materials?!"
Upon hearing Jiang He's words, both Professor Frank, the square-faced middle-aged man in gray and black clothes who was his dueling opponent in the distance, and Jaden Yuki and Bastion Misawa, who were in a special spectator position in the distance, couldn't help but show shocked and bewildered expressions!
They had heard of Polymerization monsters on the field and in their hand as Polymerization materials, or even Polymerization by banishing monsters from the graveyard.
This is the first time I've seen a fusion method that uses excluded monsters as Polymerization materials!
The absurdity is arguably no less than using the opponent's monsters as Polymerization material...!
"I choose to return the two ' Thunder Dragon ' monsters I banished, along with another ' Thunder Dragon ' from my Graveyard, to the Deck as Polymerization Material, Polymerization Special Summon!" "Appear, the ace of this deck, ' Thunder Dragon Titan!'!" "Roar!!"
As Jiang He finished speaking, a blue Thunder Dragon monster phantom resembling a Vice Dragon and a Vice Dragon appeared simultaneously on the field in front of him!
In the blink of an eye, it roared and Polymerization with the dark, cloud-like arcs of electricity that appeared behind it, rapidly twisting and Polymerization together to transform into a blinding white light!
With a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, a massive three-headed Thunder Dragon monster, its body entirely dark green and with three horned Vice Dragon heads, quickly emerged from the dark clouds above!
It roared and howled as it slowly descended into the air above the arena in front of Jiang He!
It was surrounded by a large number of blue arcs of lightning and a thick dark cloud, giving it a very fierce aura!
[Thunder Dragon Titan]
[Star Rating: 10]
[Attribute: Light]
[Attack Power: 3200]
[Defense Power: 3200] Feel the thunder. jpg "What an amazing aura! This is Prince Jiang He's other trump card monster, [Thunder Dragon Titan]!" Upon seeing this, the pompadour host was shocked and shouted loudly!
"If nothing unexpected happens, this [Thunder Dragon Titan] might also possess a powerful effect that can replace destruction!" 480 "Hmph, do you think that just because it can resist destruction, I'm completely helpless!"
Just then, Professor Frank, with a sinister smirk and a hint of malice, sneered at the middle-aged man in gray-black clothes in the distance opposite them.
Immediately, he raised his hand and gestured towards one of the remaining two Ambush cards on the field in front of him! "Activate the Ambush card at this moment! Continuous Trap [Embodiment of Apophis]!"
A perpetual trap with a black clamp-like mechanical device pattern was suddenly flipped open on the field in front of the opponent!
"This card's effect can be activated and transformed into an Equip Card, equipped to a monster on the field, Null and Void its effects and reducing its ATK and DEF to zero!" In the distance, Professor Frank, the square-faced middle-aged man in gray and black clothes who was his dueling opponent, chuckled smugly at Jiang He.
"The reason I didn't coordinate with the activation of the [Ring of Destruction] trap, but instead used it on that [Thunder Dragon Colossus] to Null and Void its effect and destroy it," was to prevent you from having the possibility of summoning other ace monsters!

"What?! There's even a trap with such a sinister effect hidden in the ground!"
Hearing from afar, at the gray-clad, square-faced middle-aged man who was his dueling opponent, Professor Frank spoke of the perpetual trap [Embodiment of Apophis] that had just been activated on the field in front of them.
The effect.
From a special spectator position on the far side, Chazz Princeton and Bastion Misawa exclaimed in surprise!
This dueling psychologist, Professor Frank, is indeed quite knowledgeable in psychology!
He resisted the chance to destroy [Thunder Dragon Colossus], waiting for Jiang He to summon an even more powerful ace monster before making his move!
However, before Professor Frank, the square-faced middle-aged man in gray and black clothes, could be smug for long, he suddenly saw Jiang He raise his hand with a wicked smile on his face.
"While your idea is wonderful, unfortunately, [Thunder Dragon Titan] not only has an effect similar to [Thunder Dragon Colossus]—that is, it can use cards from the Graveyard to destroy other cards—but it also has another effect!"
"When a Thunder-Type monster activates its effect from your hand, you can immediately destroy one card on the field!"
"And I happen to have a Thunder Dragon monster in my hand that can chain traps and even be activated during my opponent's turn!"
Jiang He smiled and took out a card with a familiar black Vice Dragon pattern from his remaining seven cards, showing it to the player!
"Activate the second effect of [Thunder Dragondark] in your hand once per turn. You can discard it from your hand to the Graveyard to activate this effect and add one monster of the same name from your Deck to your hand!"
"Next, the effect of [Thunder Dragon Titan] is triggered! When a Thunder-Type monster activates its effect from your hand, you can immediately destroy one card on the field!"
"What I'm going to destroy, of course, is that Continuous Trap you haven't had a chance to activate yet, [Embodiment of Apophis]!"
"Thunder God Break!"
"Roar!!"
As Jiang He waved his hand, the enormous, dark green, three-headed Thunder Dragon monster [Thunder Dragon Titan] in the air above the arena in front of him roared!
Dark clouds quickly gathered in the sky above, and a blue arc of lightning struck down with a "crack"!
The attack swiftly struck the distant, gray-clad, square-faced middle-aged figure Professor Frank, in front of the field—a perpetual trap [Embodiment of Apophis] that had just been activated but hadn't yet taken effect!
It instantly shattered into a shower of orange-yellow particle fragments with a loud "bang," disappearing completely!
"Impossible! How could this be! It actually managed to ruin my carefully prepared trap!"
Upon seeing the square-faced, middle-aged man in gray-black clothes in the distance, Professor Frank's face immediately turned green!
With a distorted expression of disbelief, he stared at Jiang He and exclaimed!
He endured the humiliation of being treated like a "clown" and did not activate the perpetual trap [Embodiment of Apophis] in order to trap the second ace monster that Jiang He was very likely to summon!
That way, I can break down the kid's defenses and make him feel frustrated!
But to his utter surprise, the Netherworld Effect Trap, which he had endured humiliation to the point of placing all his hopes on, was completely countered by the second ace monster newly summoned by this kid named Jiang He!
Instantly, he looked like he was trying to be clever, even more clownish than before!
[Ding, Professor Frank's Emotion Points +1200!] "A rather clever chain reaction!"
From a distance, in a special spectator position, Yusei Fudo and Bastion Misawa, among others, couldn't help but brighten their eyes and praise the sight.
Even Jack Atlas, the car crash king standing next to him, after a moment of surprise, also subtly revealed a hint of agreement.
Although he didn't want to admit it, this hateful fellow from the underworld, Jiang He, did indeed possess considerable strength! "Just to be on the safe side, let me destroy all your remaining cards as well!"
After destroying his opponent's underworld trap and adding a card of the same name to his hand from the deck through the effect of [Thunder Dragondark], Jiang He immediately smiled and said, taking out a card from his remaining seven-card hand and showing it to the opponent!
"Activate the effect of this Level 5 monster [Thunder Dragon] again from your hand; as a trade, discard it from your hand to the Graveyard and add up to two [Thunder Dragon] of the same name from your Deck to your hand!"
"And in my deck, there just happens to be a [Thunder Dragon Polymerization] that was returned to the deck from the graveyard using the effect of the Spell Card [Thunder Dragon Fusion]!"
"Next, trigger the effect of [Thunder Dragon Titan] again! When a Thunder-Type monster activates its effect from your hand, you can immediately choose one card on the field to destroy the pool!" Jiang He said with a smile, and immediately raised his hand to point to the last remaining Ambush card on the field in the distance! "The one I choose to destroy is, of course, your last Ambush card!"
Upon hearing this, Professor Frank's expression changed drastically at the square-faced middle-aged man in gray-black clothes in the distance. He gritted his teeth, his face darkening, and pointed to the last Ambush card on the field in front of him! If he didn't activate it soon, this crucial trap, designed to work with hypnosis, would be destroyed! "Activate the Ambush card at this moment! Trap [Guiding Light to the Deep]!"
A trap with a pattern resembling Chazz Princeton being attracted by a ball of light in front of it was suddenly lifted from the ground in front of the opponent!

"Trap [Guiding Light to the Deep] effect: Both players send five cards from their decks to the graveyard, reveal their sixth drawn card, and add it to their hand. If you don't use that drawn card this turn, you take 2000 LP damage!" Whoosh!
As Professor Frank, the square-faced middle-aged man in gray-black clothes, spoke, the orange-yellow pattern on the newly opened trap [Guiding Light to the Deep] on the opposite field quickly lit up!
Coupled with the other party's deliberately slow and gentle voice, it was as if they were hypnotizing or using psychological suggestion!
"Now let's start drawing cards slowly, and put the top five cards of the deck into the Duel Disk Graveyard!"
As Professor Frank, a square-faced middle-aged man in gray-black clothes, spoke, his eyes suddenly flickered as he looked into Jiang He's eyes.
He attempted to use the hypnotic pattern of the trap he activated, [Guiding Light to the Deep], to induce deep hypnosis!
However, the next second, what he saw was Jiang He He's wicked, amused expression!
In the blink of an eye, amidst Professor Frank's horrified expression, he suddenly saw a phantom image of a golden Exodia the Forbidden One appear in Jiang He's eyes!
He swiftly unleashed a powerful, extremely negative wave of dark psychic energy at him with his giant golden hand! "Exodia Shock!" "Ah!!"
In an instant, Professor Frank, the square-faced middle-aged man in gray and black clothes, clutched his head and screamed in terror!
He seemed to have been shocked and fell to the ground behind him!
