Chapter 1 When the Nameless King Appeared

The moment the Nameless King appeared, the sky above them abruptly turned a gloomy color.

In an instant, dark clouds loomed, and swirling winds churned. Amidst the convergence of wind and clouds, a bolt of lightning descended from the heavens, carrying an arrogant figure.

Behold, the Nameless King was clad in ancient Egyptian garb, sporting a mullet hairstyle, and bedecked from head to toe with seven golden ornaments... or rather... seven Millennium Items.

"That's... the Nameless King..." Snow murmured, watching the man appear in the arena, "He actually summoned him in that way..."

"Alright, my chain ends here." At the same time, Feng Bujue, standing opposite him, added, "At this moment, the discarding effect of Hand Overdraw begins to take effect..." He spread his hands, a look of mockery on his face, "Unfortunately, I have no cards left in my hand."

"Tch..." Snow clicked his tongue, throwing his remaining three cards into the graveyard with displeasure.

"Then, next..." Two seconds later, Feng Bujue loudly continued, "Formally entering this daddy's turn! The strongest god's special effect activates!"

Because Programmer's Oversight only lasted for "one phase," all of the Nameless King's special effects returned after Snow's "end phase."

"The Nameless King's special effects number... seven!" Clearly, Feng Bujue's performance had only just begun...

Compared to the series of chains that were about to occur, the Magic Deathmatch just now was only a warm-up.

"Special effect one—'Millennium Eye'!" Feng Bujue pointed at the opponent's field, "During the player's starting phase, if the Nameless King exists on one's own field, one can see through the opponent's hand and all face-down cards on the field."

As he spoke, the system's animation effect followed suit. The Nameless King raised an eyeball-shaped golden ornament and shone it forward... all of Snow's face-down cards immediately turned semi-transparent.

Snow had just thrown away his hand, and the three cards in his monster zone were already revealed. All that remained were the cards in the magic/trap zone; at this moment, under the Nameless King's effect, the other four cards were displayed one by one, in addition to the already face-up Curse of Grudge.

"I see..." Feng Bujue said, looking at the opponent's cards, "This kind of configuration... is indeed very in line with your style."

At this moment, Snow's four face-down cards consisted of three traps and one magic.

The first trap card was Dragged into Hell, the effect of which was—when one of my monsters is destroyed in battle, destroy the attacking monster as well.

This card was naturally added to Snow's hand in the same turn that Tamamo-no-Mae was summoned, and was one of the four cards that were set at that time; previously, when Sakamoto-kun killed Evil Kappa, Snow could have activated this effect. But in the circumstances at the time, there was no benefit in doing so... because Snow at the time had a huge advantage, an advantage that could complete the kill at any time. Under the influence of Oxygen Deprivation Zone, Sakamoto-kun could not act as a barrier for the player even if he survived; conversely, if Sakamoto-kun was destroyed, Tamamo-no-Mae's attack and defense absorption effect would fail in the next turn, resulting in zero attack and zero defense. To put it in another way... taking Sakamoto away at that time was equivalent to crippling himself; therefore, he left this trap until now.

The second trap card, Snake in the Cup, this card can only be activated during the opponent's battle phase. After it takes effect, it immediately summons a Shadow Token to the field. The token is placed in the monster zone, its attack and defense are 0 and 2000 respectively, it cannot be used as a sacrifice, and it cannot be changed to attack position. Once it is destroyed, the token will be immediately "removed from play."

The third trap card, Shuttle Between Yin and Yang, when the total number of monsters in my graveyard exceeds ten, five cards can be selected and shuffled back into the deck; this... was set by Snow during the secondary phase of the last turn.

Finally, the magic card was a special magic—Shorty's Reign, the effect of which was that when this card is set on the field, it can be activated during any player's battle phase, preventing all monsters on the field from attacking.

The reason why Snow set this card was also obvious. Although Tamamo-no-Mae's death effect was very powerful, it was difficult to guarantee that the opponent would not use Sakamoto, who also had 2000 attack, to perish together with her, so he needed such a card to defend himself.

"Next, I enter the draw phase..." Feng Bujue said again after quickly scanning Snow's face-down cards.

"Humph! At this moment, the Curse of Grudge's effect activates again." At this time, Snow couldn't wait to interject, "If you draw a magic card... then throw it away nimbly."

"Heh... sorry..." Feng Bujue sneered, "At this moment, I activate the Nameless King's second special effect—'Millennium Scales'! At any phase, as long as it's a draw phase, I can choose to give up drawing a card... For every card I give up drawing, I can recover 1000 LP." He paused for half a second, and then said, "I don't need to tell you, you should understand... I'm going to give up this draw right."

As he spoke, a series of "beep beep beep" sounds rang out, and Brother Jue's LP returned to 2500...

On the other hand, since two draw phases had passed, the effect of Curse of Grudge had also come to an end.

"Then... next is the main phase..." After the invalidated Curse of Grudge entered the graveyard, Feng Bujue continued, "I activate the Nameless King's third special effect—'Millennium Rod'... permanently gain control of one monster on the opponent's field."

"What!" Snow was shocked when he heard this, "Comes with a Mind Control (a normal magic that can change monster control within one turn) effect? And it's permanent?"

Feng Bujue ignored him, but clearly pointed out his target: "And the monster I choose is—Tamamo-no-Mae!"

After saying that, the Nameless King raised the Millennium Rod in his hand and waved it slightly at Tamamo-no-Mae, and the latter obediently stood on Brother Jue's side of the field...

"It's not over yet..." Feng Bujue then said, "The Nameless King's fourth special effect—'Millennium Ring of Wisdom', points to a card on the opponent's field, and makes its effect invalid until the end of this duel." He flicked his arm, "I choose... Shorty's Reign!"

In an instant, the Millennium Ring of Wisdom hanging on the Nameless King's chest emitted a golden light, and the pendants under the ring all pointed to the location of Snow's magic card, and shot a beam of light at the card. After being hit, Shorty's Reign became a black and white faded card, and it seemed that it could no longer be activated.

"Next, battle phase!" Feng Bujue's offensive was finally about to begin, "I use Tamamo-no-Mae to attack your Noppera-bo! Charge! Nine-Tailed Flying Scythe Whirlwind!"

Snow could understand Brother Jue's attack choice. At this moment, Tamamo-no-Mae's attack power was still 2000, and Noppera-bo's attack was also 2000. Once they fought, they would perish together.

But the difference was... Noppera-bo's death effect was "add one field magic—Desolate Temple—to the hand," while Tamamo-no-Mae's death effect was... "In the next five turns, every time one's own player loses LP, the opponent player will also lose the same LP."

Chi—Bang—

After a moment, accompanied by the sound of wind breaking and collision, the nine-tailed fox demon and the monk ghost both turned into white light.

Snow's god card and the six-star monster on the field were both finished, and the depressing thing was... because the control of Tamamo-no-Mae had already returned to Feng Bujue, her death effect would be enjoyed by Brother Jue.

"I'll use Sakamoto-kun... to attack Corpse Fiend! Secret Technique - Knee Impact!" Brother Jue's battle phase was not over yet, he then declared an attack, and killed the defense monster.

Up to this point, Snow's field was empty, and the field magic added to his hand was temporarily useless.

However, he still had something to do...

"Activate trap, Dragged into Hell!" Snow had no reason or room to keep the trap at this moment, "Destroy Sakamoto-kun, who is attacking Corpse Fiend, too!"

Anyway, Snow's trap cards were all face-up, so Brother Jue would not be surprised by this.

"My battle phase is not over yet." After the trap card took effect, Feng Bujue pointed to the opponent, "I will use the Nameless King to launch a direct attack on the player!"

"Hmph! I activate trap card—Snake in the Cup." Snow snorted coldly and quickly responded.

At the moment, Brother Jue only had the Nameless King left on his field. By the way, the attack and defense of this "strongest god" were both 5000, but... whether it was 5,000 or 50,000, as long as he didn't have the effect of penetrating defense, even a 0-defense defense monster could guarantee that the owner would not lose health when resisting this attack.

Bang—

The Nameless King just glared, and the 2000-defense Shadow Token shattered, but Snow's LP was not reduced...

"Heh... you're almost done, aren't you." Seeing that all of Brother Jue's monsters had attacked, Snow breathed a sigh of relief, and showed some pride, "The strongest god... is nothing more than this. In the end, you didn't manage to reduce my LP in this turn, did you?" He shrugged, "It's just that the situation on the field has turned around a bit..."

"The situation?" Feng Bujue stared with dead fish eyes, looked at the opponent with the eyes of a spectator idiot, and gave a dry laugh, "Ha! Are you still thinking about the 'situation'?"

"You... what do you mean?" Snow vaguely read something from the other party's words, and immediately asked suspiciously.

"What I mean is..." Feng Bujue's expression became serious, "...you don't have the next turn!"

After saying that, he didn't wait for Snow to respond, and then said: "The Nameless King's special effect number five—'Millennium Puzzle'... activate!"

As soon as the declaration was made, a pyramid-shaped pendant in front of the Nameless King burst out with a dazzling strong light, covering his whole body in the strong light; after a few seconds, the light dissipated, the Nameless King's appearance did not change, and his mullet hairstyle did not change, but the clothes became a set of blue suits similar to high school uniforms.

"This effect allows the Nameless King to attack again in the same battle phase." Feng Bujue said this line calmly.

But Snow was so shocked that his hair exploded: "whAt_the_ [BEEP]？ A 5000 attack power monster can attack twice?"

"Nameless King, launch a direct attack on the enemy player! Duelist's Will!" Feng Bujue answered the other party's question with a declaration.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Nameless King waved his arm with a chuunibyou-filled action, and released a wave similar to telekinesis towards Snow.

Bang—

In the next second, Snow himself was actually blown away.

He really didn't expect that in this all-ages game with a not-so-high pain setting... in this card game, he was actually blown away...

"How... how unreasonable..." Snow looked quite embarrassed when he climbed up from the ground again, but he still stubbornly said, "But no matter what... I'm not dead yet! I still have 500 LP!"

"I said, you don't have the next turn." Feng Bujue said, "I'm not you..." He paused, "A true duelist, does what he says!"

At this time, Brother Jue's aura had completely overwhelmed Snow, and the scene on the field was clearly a crushing situation...

"Enter the secondary phase! Activate the Nameless King's special effect number six—'Millennium Key'!" Feng Bujue said as he raised his duel disk in his left hand, "I can choose a player to view all the cards in their deck; at this moment, the player I choose is... myself."

After the declaration was completed, the key-shaped pendant on the god's body flashed, and then, the floating image generated by the system spread out in front of Brother Jue's eyes; these images were Feng Bujue's own deck, and they were arranged in order.

"What are you doing?" Snow on the opposite side was now scared to death, "What's the point of looking at your own deck? Don't you remember which cards you put in?"

"Finally..." Feng Bujue ignored the other party's question, and after looking at his own deck for a few seconds, he continued, "I activate the Nameless King's special effect number seven—'Millennium Necklace'... I can predict a number x, and the name of a card, and then start counting from the top of the deck, and flip over the xth card. If the name of this card matches what I predicted, then immediately add it to my hand."

When Brother Jue finished reading this special effect, Snow's expression was completely stunned...

"The number I declare is 16, and the card name is... Jester Terror." After Feng Bujue said that, the duel disk automatically cut out the sixteenth card from the top of his deck, and Brother Jue raised his hand to draw it.

Relying on the special effect of "Millennium Key," Feng Bujue had already finished reading the entire deck, so his "prediction" activated with "Millennium Necklace" would naturally hit 100% of the time.

Presumably you have guessed that this Jester Terror was the six-star monster that Brother Jue had washed back into his hand with Jar of Avarice...

"At this moment, the effect of Jar of Avarice is activated, I lose 1000 LP because I drew the previous show card..." Brother Jue's tone had now returned to calm, "And under the death effect of Tamamo-no-Mae, you must deduct the same LP points."

Beep beep beep beep——

Before Brother Jue could finish speaking, Snow's LP... had already returned to zero.
