Chapter 17 Gods
Spirit world.
It is the dwelling place of the gods.
It is a sacred place that must not be desecrated.
The whole thing is a huge floating island, floating in the void.
Each portal opens or closes, connecting to the outside world.
Countless angels weave through the crowd, offering guidance to those who come.
They are also the first line of defense for the divine realm.
There are three huge temples on the outer perimeter of the island.
[Osiris Sky Dragon]
Obelisk the Colossus
【The Winged Dragon of Ra】
This is the second line of defense for the divine realm.
Three temples stand guard over the larger temple in the center of the island.
【Halakti, the Creator God of Light】
The supreme divine power from the primordial god enveloped the entire temple, and anyone who dared to enter without the creator god's permission would be instantly annihilated by this divine power.
This is the third and final line of defense.
Passing through these three lines of defense, you will face the Creator God directly.
"Did it fail...?"
On the throne in the great hall sits the original deity.
At the entrance of the main hall, several figures knelt in worship, facing the throne, their heads pressed tightly to the ground.
The body of a deity should not be looked at directly.
Their bodies trembled, fearing the wrath of the gods.
"It's alright, He won't pose any threat since He has lost His memories of His past life."
Why would the divine realm set up defenses? Is there really anything that could threaten the gods?
That's what everyone thought back then, until He entered the realm of the gods.
The original realm of gods was an entire planet.
He sneered, denounced, and destroyed.
Even now, there is still a rift running from top to bottom through the island in the realm of gods.
That was caused by the residual force of His all-out attack.
"The power that has been taken away should be returned."
He is not here, and no one can stop the gods.
"First, there's the eighth order..."
The deity tilted his head slightly and spoke to the figure below the throne, only a few steps away, saying, "It's up to you, [Eleventh Rank]."
The angels patrolling near the temple of the sun god heard a long sigh.
-----------------
Back in the restaurant's private room, after handing the prepared trap card to Sera, he used the excuse of it being late to send Sera home.
Before leaving, I gave Sera some homework: write down the effects of these trap cards and ask her a question tomorrow.
"I can't take Sera to restaurants to teach every day," he said, somewhat worried.
"We need to find a proper place."
Buy a house?
Putting aside the fact that he has no identity documents, he doesn't plan to live here long-term, and he doesn't have enough money to buy a house.
There are many places where money needs to be spent, so we need to be frugal.
Renting is the best option; it's cheaper and you can move out anytime.
"Going to a real estate agency requires going through all sorts of procedures, including getting your ID number and such. You have to find someone you know to introduce you so you can just pay the money directly."
"So here's the question: among the people I know, who might know where there are vacant rooms for rent?"
"So, you want to ask me if I know anyone who rents out a house, right?" the old pastor asked Xing Liang to confirm.
The next morning, Xing Liang went to the church. Fortunately, it happened to be the old pastor's day.
"Well, I don't really trust real estate agents; I think introductions from acquaintances are more reliable."
"Is that so... I remember there is, please allow me to make a call to confirm." Although the old pastor was a clergyman, they did not have a dogma that prohibited technological products.
“I do know someone who has a vacant old house for rent… but he has some conditions for the tenants.” The old pastor stammered, somewhat reluctant to speak.
"What conditions?"
"He said the rent was negotiable, and could even be waived."
Xing Liang raised an eyebrow. "Such a good thing?"
"He demands... demands that you fight him, and if you win, you can be exempted from rent."
The old pastor sighed and continued, "He was a child who failed to awaken, but he managed to build a deck with his own money and called himself a card master. You didn't have these conditions when you rented the house, so please forgive me for revealing your identity as a card master."
"He wanted to prove that even someone who failed to awaken could defeat a Magic Card Master who successfully awakened."
Awakening failure means you can't use the power of the spirits. Even if you obtain a magic card through purchase, it will be difficult to use.
While you can duel with other card players through the Duel Disk, that's all there is to it and it's meaningless.
Card Masters are respected because they can obtain more elven power than others.
Compared to ordinary Awakened Ones, Magic Card Masters are more like "strategic resources".
Once war breaks out between nations, the quality and quantity of Magic Card Masters will determine the life or death of a country.
To give a simple example, on the battlefield, a card master who has reached the "True Self" level approaches the enemy camp and immediately summons three Blue-Eyes White Dragons to unleash a barrage of Destructive Explosive Gale Blasts on the enemy camp. By the time the enemy reacts and tries to retaliate, the Blue-Eyes White Dragons have been recalled, and the card master himself has already retreated under the cover of his allies.
Not to mention the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's attack power, which is no weaker than conventional missiles.
Once a card master and several elves reach the "True Self," they can form a solo journey.
It is said that the first king of Yingmotuo (Immortal) Kingdom, where Xing Liang is now located, and four dragon elves even broke through to the [Superego] on the battlefield, directly razing the enemy country to the ground.
Duels are a way for card players to resolve disputes. To a normal person, someone who can duel but lacks spirit power is a joke.
For a card master, dueling with such a person is an act of self-degradation.
If awakening fails, one cannot obtain the power of the spirit, which means one cannot communicate with the spirit to gain the right to use the monster card of the same name.
A deck without any monster cards.
It might sound absurd to people in this world, but Xing Liang knew that such a deck build did exist, and it could even be quite powerful.
He had this mindset when he gave those children who failed to awaken their monsters trap cards.
But he didn't know at the time that in this world, even if someone who fails to awaken their powers has a deck, they cannot become a Magic Card Master.
"Then please help me make contact. I agree to a duel with him, let's set the venue here."
As he spoke, he opened his backpack and sat down on a church pew to begin modifying the structure.
"We ask that you serve as a witness to our duel."
While waiting, he flipped through the card album, thinking about the situations he might encounter later.
Is it a Burgess Beast or a self-sufficient, blood-burning build? If awakening failed, then even a Beast can't be used with extras. For a blood-burning build, you could use this card…
Thinking this, he suddenly paused as he flipped through the card album. After confirming that the old priest was not looking in his direction, he pulled out the three Egyptian God cards from the album and put them back in reverse.
After watching the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series on Earth, he bought the cards of the three Egyptian God cards and collected them in his card album. In this world where the three Egyptian God cards actually exist, it wouldn't be a good thing for others to know that he possessed the God Cards.
but.
Thinking of the old priest, he decided to find a way to give the [Winged Dragon of the Sun God] to him before leaving the city.
It sounds wonderful that devout believers receive a response from their god.
