Chapter 935: Xie Shen Projection
Chapter 935: Xie Shen Projection
Not only was the Xie Shen itself, the protagonist of this event, completely dumbfounded, but the surrounding crowd of followers had also gone into a daze.
It seemed that ever since the appearance of "Akashic Force 21 - World," the nature of the duel had begun to change subtly.
This was no longer a duel; it was a performance, an execution. It was a prolonged torture that everyone already knew the outcome of, yet they had to patiently endure the lingering process.
After all, twenty turns was not a short time.
So everyone stared wide-eyed, the entire venue fell silent, and they listened to You Xuan repeatedly going through the motions without showing any signs of fatigue.
"My turn, draw a card."
"In the preparation phase, I revive the Killer Snake from the Graveyard. Then, I Normal Summon the Killer Snake."
"In the End Phase, I Special Summon 'Lotus of Sacrifice' to my field."
"Using the effect of 'Akashic Force 21 - World,' I offer 'Killer Snake' and 'Lotus of Sacrifice' as sacrificial offerings and skip the next turn of the Xie Shen."
"The countdown to the end continues."
".
The fire circles on the countdown lit up one by one, like ghostly fireballs, forming a circular ring of fire that swayed eerily. Behind that flame seemed to lurk a transcendent Grim Reaper, towering above all existence in the world, even beyond the reach of the gods, and capable of rewriting the rules of the duel.
As the firelight flickered, the Grim Reaper seemed to grin menacingly, emitting a dangerous sneer.
With each turn, the infinitely recyclable monster, combined with the world that could be paused indefinitely, made it impossible for the opponent to survive, even if it were two hundred or two thousand turns.
When You Xuan activated the "Moonlight Book," the Eradicator initially thought it was of no consequence. What difference would it make if it was covered by the reverse side? As long as the Eradicator remained on the field, it was the strongest shield. Whether the opponent destroyed it in battle or blew it up with a card, the Eradicator's ability would trigger, sweeping away everything.
But what he didn't expect was that this cover-up would be permanent.
Until the duel ended and the apocalypse arrived, he would never see the light of day again.
".Once again, I activate the effect of 'Akashic Force 21 - World' to skip the opponent's turn. Let's see... Oh? It seems we've already reached twenty turns."
You Xuan feigned surprise and smiled slyly.
"I'm sorry, Xie Shen, but I have to inform you..."
He narrowed his eyes.
".It seems you've lost."
Eradicator: ".
The Eye, standing by his side, silently watched You Xuan, staring at him for a moment before whispering.
"With that mouth of yours, you've managed to survive for so long. It's clear that your strength is unfathomable."
On the twentieth turn of the countdown, the final flame was ignited. The originally small twenty flames suddenly burst, instantly converging into a fire curtain that seemed to engulf the world! This was no ordinary fire; it was as if God had decided to recreate the ancient flood that destroyed the world, but this time, it was a heavenly fire that would incinerate everything in its path. The flames carried the will to annihilate, and anything that came into contact with them was instantly burned to ashes, leaving nothing behind.
This was the true Apocalypse Flame, even the gods could not resist.
The black aura radiating from the priest's body, belonging to the Eradicator, had begun to flicker, as if it might dissipate at any moment. But the Xie Shen's eyes remained fixed on You Xuan, as if they wanted to pierce this irritating guy with their sharp gaze and tear him apart.
"It's too late for you to kneel and apologize now, human."
The Xie Shen spoke in a deep voice.
"Such torture, such torment, is very, very good.
From now on, this has become a personal grudge. I no longer want just that fairy, I want you as well."
"You will forever be enslaved by the Yeshen, for all eternity!"
He seemed to have a lot more to say, like a gamer whose mind had exploded after a game, wanting to rant during the results screen. But his typing speed wasn't fast enough, and before he could finish speaking, the audience had already left, leaving him with a bellyful of curses that he had to stifle. The anger that had nowhere to vent suddenly surged several times over.
You Xuan walked up to the priest, who was kneeling on the ground with bent knees, his face blank and dazed, as if he had gone stupid. It wasn't until You Xuan approached that he slowly raised his head, staring at You Xuan foolishly for a moment before suddenly realizing and shouting in panic.
"Stop, don't come any closer!"
He frantically grabbed at the air, his expression as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world. His body desperately shrank back, and he waved his hands at You Xuan.
"Don't come over! Stay away from me!"
His voice was so shrill and terrifying that the countless followers below felt an endless chill in their hearts, their hands and feet turning cold, and their bodies freezing.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a devil."
You Xuan smiled.
"That's right, the master is so handsome, there's nothing to be afraid of."
The vampire heiress smiled sweetly.
"If you keep hiding, I might just suck you dry."

She showed her white, sharp little fangs.
The priest stiffened, his whole body trembling, but he indeed didn't dare to hide anymore.
Just now, he had been possessed by the Yeshen, but he still had a faint sense of consciousness. Although he couldn't fully remember the details of the duel, the vague impression felt like a terrifying nightmare he had never experienced before. Even if he couldn't recall the specifics, the deep fear from the dream was bone-chilling.
If there's something even more terrifying than a nightmare itself, it's when you wake up and open your eyes, only to realize in horror that the evil spirit from your dream is standing right in front of you, smiling at you.
This was the priest's exact experience at that moment.
However, You Xuan wasn't very interested in this puppet and simply pulled out the priest's deck, quickly flipping through it.
Sure enough, just like with Zorc earlier, the Yeshen·Eradicator's cards had also disappeared.
But You Xuan wasn't surprised.
The Yeshen he had just confronted was probably not the main body. He had felt it during the duel. Although there was the pressure of the Yeshen, it wasn't as strong as a deity should be. That state probably felt like when You Xuan usually went to the fairy realm, with the main body in the mortal world and only the consciousness projected into the fairy realm.
So he didn't blame the Yeshen for using a puppet to fight him, as he himself did the same thing often.
To find the true form of this Yeshen, either You Xuan had to find the dimension where the Yeshen resided, or the main body had to come to him.
After today's battle, the Eradicator probably wouldn't bother sending another puppet to challenge You Xuan. They should have realized that it was pointless. You Xuan wasn't someone who could be handled by a mere puppet.
Without the main Yeshen, this deck no longer held You Xuan's interest. He casually stuffed it into his pocket and turned to the priest.
"Alright, just a few questions. Don't worry, it'll be quick.
Hmm, now that I know which Yeshen your family serves, let's start with this."
You Xuan took out the blank card with no information, only a single eye on its card art.
"What is this fairy? Why do you want this useless treasure?"
