Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World
"But even if I can't take down that damned Raidraptor on your field, I still have a way to win!"
After a moment of silent, gritted teeth and a somber expression, the scarred, yellow-haired figure IV, who was his dueling opponent in the distance, immediately drew a card from his remaining three cards and activated it!
"I activate the Spell Card [Graceful Charity] from my hand!"
A familiar Spell Card, featuring an angel with a golden halo holding a card image, suddenly appeared on the field in front of the opponent!
"This card's effect allows you to draw three more cards from your deck and add them to your hand. Then, choose two cards from your hand and discard them to the graveyard!"
As he spoke, IV quickly drew cards from his own Duel Disk deck!
I've temporarily replenished my hand to five cards!
He then quickly pulled out two cards and discarded them from his own fiery red scythe-like Duel Disk graveyard!
"Based on the effect of the Spell Card [Graceful Charity], I choose to discard these two ' Gimmick Puppet ' monsters to the Graveyard!"
"Are you planning to resurrect monsters from the graveyard...?"
Seeing that the two "Gimmick Puppet" monsters that IV had deliberately abandoned in the graveyard, Jiang He immediately saw through the other party's intentions and raised an eyebrow.
He was naturally quite pleased to see this!
After all, he still has a continuous spell with a card-drawing effect on the field, [Card of Safe Return]!
Soon after, the scarred, yellow-haired figure IV, who was his dueling opponent in the distance, gritted his teeth and raised his Duel Disk to signal him!
"Next, activate the special effects of the two [Gimmick Puppet /Necromancers] in the graveyard. While they are in the graveyard..."
You can banish one monster from your Graveyard whose name contains "Gimmick Puppet" as a price to revive and Special Summon it!
With a gloomy expression, IV immediately raised his hand and caught two cards that automatically popped out of the graveyard, indicating that he was about to play them!
"I choose to banish these two 'Machine Golem' monsters, which I just discarded using the effect of the Spell Card [Graceful Charity], as the price!"
"Appear again, [Gimmick Puppet - Necromancer]!"
"Hmm~!!"
As a vortex of blue light appeared, two familiar, terrifying blonde doll-like monster figures quickly emerged from it!
A chilling, eerie laugh appeared one after another on the field in front of the opponent!
"At this moment, I activate the effect of the Continuous Spell [Card of Safe Return]. When either player successfully Special Summon a monster from their Graveyard, I can draw three cards from my Deck!"
Upon seeing this, Jiang He's face immediately lit up with a smile.
"Because you Special Summon two monsters from your Graveyard, I can draw six cards from my Deck!"
"Then I'll accept this generous gift without hesitation!"
Immediately, Jiang He, beaming with joy, drew six cards from his Duel Disk deck!
He instantly replenished his previously empty hand with six cards!
Regarding the opponent's move of directly reviving two monsters...
Jiang He could only say, "That's ruthless!"
They dared to let him smoke!
"Tch!! While you can still laugh, laugh it off!"
Seeing this, the person in the distance, Yan Yi, gritted his teeth and his face became even more gloomy and ugly.
Immediately, he took out one card from his remaining three cards and slammed it onto his Duel Disk!
"Next, since that was Special Summon, I can also perform Normal Summon this turn!"
"I summon in Defense Position, [Gimmick Puppet - Gear Shifter]!"
"Waaaaaah!!"
As a vortex of blue light appeared, a blue-green puppet-like monster with a brown gear-like upper body quickly emerged from it!
He appeared in the arena in front of IV with a muffled groan!
[Gimmick Puppet - Gear Shifter]
[Star Rating: 1]
[Attribute: Earth]
[Attack Power: 100]
[Defense: 100]
The special effect of "[Gimmick Puppet /Gearbox]" allows you to target one "Gimmick Puppet" monster you control once per turn, and set its Level to the same as the targeted monster's Level!
"I've chosen to upgrade its level to 8 stars, just like [Gimmick Puppet /Necromancer]!"
"Waaaaaah!!"
With that expressionless, gloomy face, N raised his hand in a gesture.
On the field in front of him, the blue-green puppet monster figure [Gimmick Puppet - Gear Shifter] that he had just summoned suddenly let out a strange cry.
The gears on his body started spinning, and his star level jumped from 1 to 8!
"Oh no! Now the opponent has three Level 8 monsters on their field!"
Upon seeing this scene, Alexis Rhodes, Akiza Izinski, and Yuma Tsukumo, who were watching from a distance, were all taken aback!
Even the Astral floating nearby seemed to realize something and exclaimed in shock!
"Masaka! Is that IV going to perform Xyz Summon using three Level 8 monsters as materials?!"
"Hmph!! It's that Masaka!"
Hearing the surprised commotion beside him, the scarred, yellow-haired figure IV, his dueling opponent in the distance, suddenly grinned maliciously with an exaggerated expression.
He immediately raised his hand and gestured towards the area in front of him!
"Two 8-star [Gimmick Puppet - Necromancer], plus one 8-star [Gimmick Puppet - Gear Shifter], are stacked in an Obarai (overlay)! Xyz Summon!"
"Hmm~!!"
As IV raised his hand in a gesture,
The two [Gimmick Puppet - Necromancers] and the [Gimmick Puppet - Gear Shifters] on the field in front of him suddenly burst into eerie laughter and transformed into three purple beams of light, which intertwined and flew into the air above!
At the same time, a dark vortex of cosmic phantoms emerged from the ground in front of him!
Then, in the blink of an eye, golden Galaxy lights spiraled out from within!
"Immortal king atop the throne of power, lion wielding destiny, roar forth from your radiance!"
"Xyz Summon! Appear! [No. 88·Gimmick Puppet·Lion of Destiny]!"
"Roar!!"
As the voice of IV fell,
The three purple beams of light in the sky above immediately intertwined and fell rapidly into the field in front of him, into the dark cosmic phantom vortex!
A burst of surging golden light erupted instantly!
In the blink of an eye, a golden lion-headed puppet king-monster figure, leaning on a sword and sitting on a platinum throne, rose up and emerged!
It roared and appeared on the field in front of IV!
[No. 88·Gimmick Puppet·Lion of Destiny]
[Class: 8]
[Attribute: Dark]
[Attack Power: 3200]
[Defense Strength: 2300]
PS: [Gimmick Puppet /Necromancer] has a slightly different effect from the actual card; it does not have the restriction of Special Summon from the Graveyard once per turn.

"What?! Another new Number Xyz Monster?!"
Seeing the enormous lion-throne-wielding sword-wielding monster summoned on the field in front of IV,
Yuma Tsukumo Astral, who were watching the battle from a distance, immediately changed their expressions and exclaimed in shock!
Even Alexis Rhodes and Akiza Izinski showed a hint of surprise!
In the past, the Xyz Monster they encountered were mostly two of each, used as fodder.
However, this [No. 88·Gimmick Puppet·Lion of Destiny] requires a full three Level 8 monsters as Xyz Material.
This is obviously going to be very tricky!
"Hmph!! This is my true trump card! The roaring lion that controls the voice of destiny!"
Hearing the shocked commotion from the Yuma Tsukumo and the others, the scarred, yellow-haired man IV, who was Jiang He's dueling opponent in the distance, sneered and stared at him with a grotesque expression.
"Activate the special effect of [No.88·Gimmick Puppet·Lion of Destiny]: Once per turn, you can remove one of its Xyz Material."
If I remove all materials using this effect, then I can win regardless of the conditions!
"I choose to remove one of its three Xyz elements, 490 materials, now!"
"Roar!!"
As IV raised his hand in a gesture,
The [No. 88·Gimmick Puppet·Lion of Destiny] on the field in front of him suddenly let out a low roar.
One of the three comet-like golden orbs that surrounded its throne flew into the mechanical Swords of X it was holding!
As if gathering energy for the Swords of X, the first half of it lit up!
"What?! It's a monster that can be defeated through special means?!"
Upon hearing this, Alexis Rhodes was watching the battle from a distance, exclaimed in surprise!
The opponent's [NO.88·Gimmick Puppet·Lion of Destiny] currently has two Xyz Material remaining.
If we could remove one material each turn...!
"That means if we play two more rounds, the opponent will win outright!"
Akiza Izinski and her little fangirl Rei Saotome, who were standing nearby, also changed their expressions and spoke up with serious looks!
Even Jiang He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at this.
It must be said that the effect of this ace monster with the yellow and red seaweed head [No. 88 - Gimmick Puppet - Lion of Destiny] is even among methods that can achieve a special victory.
It is indeed one of the relatively easier ones!
However, he wasn't worried about it at all!
It's not so easy for the same monster to last two rounds against him!
