Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World

"Xiang! So you're alright!"

Upon seeing this, Jaden Yuki laughed excitedly and said...

Then he went up and patted Syrus Truesdale on the shoulder!

However, the next second, Jiang He raised his hand to signal him to stop!

"Wait a minute, Jaden, Sho should already be under control."

"Hmph, as expected of Prince Jiang He, whom I learned possesses some special power as well!"

A slightly different, deep voice, Syrus Truesdale, rang out!

Immediately, the short man "Syrus Truesdale" in the distance turned around, revealing the situation in front of him!

At this moment, a pale purple spider-like mark was visible on his wrist!

Even Syrus Truesdale's eyes held a fleeting, vacant purple light!

"That's... the mark of the Earthbound Immortal Mark - Spider Mark?!"

Upon seeing the pale purple Spider Mark that lit up on Syrus Truesdale's wrist, Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, Axel Brodie, and the others were all immediately startled and recognized it!

They had all seen a very similar mark light up on Jiang He's wrist before!

Beside Jiang He, Akiza Izinski was instantly startled when she suddenly felt something on her wrist.

The red Mark of the Crimson Dragon and Dragon Foot Mark suddenly appeared automatically, radiating scorching energy and filled with hostility!

"What on earth is going on?! How could there be a mark representing Earthbound Immortal on Xiang's body?!"

Soon, Jaden Yuki realized what was happening and frowned in surprise, questioning "Syrus Truesdale" in the distance ahead.

"The reason is quite simple (aidg): this kid has now become the owner of the Earthbound Immortal Mark - Spider Mark, the Dark Signer chosen by the Earthbound Immortal!"

The mastermind controlling Syrus Truesdale Sho chuckled as he spoke.

"The Dark Signer chosen by the Earthbound Immortal...?!"

Upon hearing Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, Bastion Misawa, and the others all showed a look of disbelief and utter astonishment!

Then, with strange expressions, they couldn't help but look in Jiang He's direction to ask.

If we're talking about Earthbound Immortal, they're similar to the Crimson Dragon, Quetzalcoatl.

With the arrival of the New Domino City decades later, it's not hard for them to believe that things have become two separate entities.

After all, there is already a precedent.

But to say that Syrus Truesdale will be chosen by the Earthbound Immortal and become Dark Signer.

All they can say is,

It would be more believable to tell them that Aunt Dorothy is Dark Signer!

Jiang He couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye and directly exposed the truth.

"That power was indeed the aura of Earthbound Immortal, but the one who truly possesses the Spider Mark..."

It shouldn't be Xiang, but the mastermind currently controlling his body.

"Then, what about that Spider Mark?"

Alexis Rhodes nearby, glanced with a puzzled look at the undeniably authentic purple Spider Mark on Syrus Truesdale's wrist in the distance, and curiously asked Jiang He about it.

"That mark was probably just a small portion of the power released by the God Card of the Spider Earthbound Immortal; it doesn't have any real power."

Jiang He glanced at him and then directly exposed him.

"Hmph, talkative brat! It seems you know quite a bit about the power of the Earthbound Immortal!"

The voice controlling Syrus Truesdale suddenly rang out in a deep tone.

"Then we absolutely cannot let you stay!"

"Let me deal with you first, before I deal with that little girl who possesses the Crimson Dragon Mark over there!"

Syrus Truesdale, his face grim and his eyes gleaming with a vacant purple light, spoke as he took out a Duel Disk and put it on.

A red light suddenly flashed on top, and it instantly deployed ahead of schedule!

"Let me show you what a real duel is like, Shadow Duel!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Jiang He and Jaden Yuki, couldn't help but have strange expressions!

Witness Shadow Duel...

All they could say was that any random student from the Duel Academy here had witnessed a certain number of Shadow Duel.

They might have done even more than the Spider Mark mastermind behind the chosen Dark Signer, who was chosen by the Earthbound Immortal!

"I don't know who gave you the confidence to think you're the only one who understands Shadow Duel, but since you want to have Shadow Duel, then let's go!"

Jiang He said with a faint smile, and then directly took out his gold-plated Duel Disk and put it on.

The red gemstone on top suddenly lit up, and it unfolded ahead of schedule!

He then took out a new deck and placed it into the Duel Disk!

"Perfect timing to test my newly prepared deck on you!"

"Hmph, you overconfident brat, I'll show you the power of the Underworld! I'll take you to the Yellow Springs!"

The mastermind controlling Syrus Truesdale chuckled confidently and said...

Although controlling other players in duels prevents him from unleashing his full potential, and he's not using his own deck,

However, with the power bestowed by the Earthbound Immortal, he can still defeat most duelists!

Even the information his brother provided mentioned the troublesome Prince Jiang He!

Soon, in the open space in front of the Slifer Red Dormitory!

Jiang He and Syrus Truesdale were already standing there face to face at a distance.

"Hmph, then let's begin, the Shadow Duel!"

As the mastermind behind the scenes controlling Syrus Truesdale finished speaking with a low, guttural laugh,

A burst of cold, purple flames erupted behind him, spreading rapidly like a wall of fire and forming a huge circle around him.

He surrounded himself, Jiang He, and Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, Akiza Izinski, and others who were watching from a distance!

"Is this... a power possessed by Earthbound Immortal Dark Signer, similar to the Shadow Duel Ritual Space?!"

Seeing the obviously dangerous purple circular walls of fire all around, Alexis Rhodes made a somewhat surprised guess!

Seeing this, Akiza Izinski and Rei Saotome, as well as Jaden Yuki and the others on the other side, were all equally surprised!

"Duel!"

"Duel!"

At the same time, a new commotion immediately broke out on the dueling ground!

As Jiang He and Syrus Truesdale, or rather, the mastermind behind the scenes, spoke simultaneously, drawing five starting cards from their respective Duel Disk decks,

Both sides quickly displayed the same [4000LP] health bar!

"I heard letting you go first is a pretty risky move, so I'll take the first turn! Draw a card!"

Syrus Truesdale's eyes were glazed over with a purple glow, and he made a funny face as he drew cards directly from his own Duel Disk deck!

After glancing at the card he had drawn, he immediately placed it on the Duel Disk and activated it!

"Activate a Continuous Spell Card from your hand: [Future Fusion]!"

A Continuity Spell Card featuring images of several skyscrapers suddenly appeared on the field in front of Syrus Truesdale!

"This card's effect allows you to discard the materials needed to create one Fusion Monster from your Deck and send them to the Graveyard as a cost."

During the second Standby Phase after this card is activated, Polymerization Special Summon that Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck!

Syrus Truesdale, his eyes gleaming with purple light, spoke as he received five cards that automatically popped from his own Duel Disk deck and showed them to the player.

Then discard it and put it in the Duel Disk graveyard!

"I choose to send these five low-level mechanical monsters with 'machine' in their names from my deck to the graveyard as the price!"

"They actually sent five monsters to the graveyard as Polymerization materials...!"

Seeing this, Jaden Yuki and the chubby Chumley, who were watching from a distance, immediately seemed to guess what was going on and exclaimed in surprise.

"Could it be that Xiang is about to summon that 12-star Polymerization vehicle monster, [Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union]?!"

Even Chazz Princeton and Bastion Misawa and the others immediately showed expressions of surprise!

They were naturally aware of Syrus Truesdale's vehicle robot deck.

Although there are several Fusion Monster, the only one that can truly be called an ace monster is the 12-star Fusion Monster with 4000 attack power, [Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union]!

The mastermind behind the Spider Mark Dark Signer, controlling Syrus Truesdale in this duel, has now displayed considerable strength.

It seems to be much stronger than the robot deck that Syrus Truesdale himself used...!

It looks like they're planning to summon their strongest ace monster right from the start!

Jiang He, however, remained completely oblivious to the main purpose behind the opponent's activation of the perpetual magic [Future Fusion].

It's to summon Syrus Truesdale's 12th-star ace Fusion Monster, [Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union]!

"Hmph, now, I activate Spell Card from my hand: [Monster Reborn]!"

Hearing the commotion beside him, the mastermind behind Syrus Truesdale chuckled and took out a card from his remaining five cards, signaling the activation of the card!

0 ·······Requesting flowers··· ······

A familiar Spell Card with a blue-green cross pattern suddenly appeared on the field in front of him!

"This card's effect allows you to Special Summon any monster from either player's Graveyard!"

Syrus Truesdale chuckled, his eyes gleaming with a vacant purple light, and raised the Duel Disk he was wearing as a gesture!

"The monster I choose to revive is, of course, the Level 1 [Kiteroid] from my own graveyard!"

"Rise, [Kiteroid]!"

"Grumble!!"

With a faint light, a small, blue-purple, anthropomorphic glider-like monster appeared!

It appeared in front of Syrus Truesdale with a strange cry!

However, the monster's color appears noticeably darker than when Syrus Truesdale himself uses it!

It's as if they've been affected and have become somewhat corrupted!
