Who let him play Yu-Gi-Oh!

"Meow?"

"Meow meow meow?"

"Wait? Is the phone on?"

There was a series of cat greetings coming from the other end of the phone. You Xuan, who was working at his desk in his personal laboratory, responded casually.

"I'm here, I'm here. What's the matter, teacher?"

"I know it's the teacher, but he still assigns me so much work to do." Daitokuji sighed repeatedly, saying that cats' life is not easy.

"If the teacher is calling just to apply for less work"

"That's not the case."

Daitoku-ji Temple is casual and authentic.

"I have a little clue about the insect boy I caught last time. Their sect called Adventism is aiming for the advent of an evil god."

"Evil god? Did you say which evil god it was?" You Xuan asked.

"No, they all call it the evil god."

You Xuanqi asked, "The people of their sect also call the god they believe in an evil god?"

This is quite unusual. Strange sects are not uncommon, but the gods of various sects are generally called evil gods by the outside world. The insiders themselves generally think that the one they believe in is the true god, who guides them to the bright and correct path.

It would be quite novel if there was a god whose name was the Evil God.

"Okay, I don't know which god it is. But since you called, we should know something?" You Xuan asked.

"Of course. Insect Boy knows more than that Dinosaur Boy last time. Insect Boy is responsible for the task handover between the two of them. We asked about a gathering place for the followers.

Our reconnaissance personnel have already conducted investigations in advance and are convinced that there are still suspicious people gathering at the location.

It’s just that considering that the identities of the other party are unknown and their strength is hard to say, we think it would be safer to have a duelist with a certain level of strength come forward to clean them up.”

You Xuan thought about it and said to himself.

"If it were before, I might have gone there in person. But now I have a lot of things to do, if these things are not necessary, it is better to choose a reliable person to do it."

It's obvious that people have become lazy. Daitokuji complained in his heart. Don't you feel guilty for letting a cat do all the dirty work?

"Teacher, you don't think I'm lazy, do you?" You Xuan suddenly said.

“Meow!?”

Daitokuji was so shocked that it burst into cat language.

"When did you learn to read minds? No, meow, I mean, there is no such thing, meow!"

Reading minds through the phone, this level of ability is too exaggerated no matter how you look at it.

"But first of all, the teacher has been very busy lately and is considering applying for a vacation. Also, the gathering place is quite far away, and I, a cat, don't want to go on a long business trip."

The teacher kept declining without waiting for You Xuan to speak.

"You should find someone else."

"It's okay, then you can take a rest first." You Xuan smiled, "You don't have to worry about the Advent Church for now. It just so happens that a reliable acquaintance of mine is playing a game nearby, and when his schedule is over, I can ask him to stop by and take a look."

"Meow?"

Daitoku-ji tilts his head.

Playing in competitions. Does that sound like a professional duelist?

A gathering place for the Adventists.

The air in the huge church was so quiet that it seemed heavy. Under the towering dome, the light seemed to be swallowed up by the thick stone walls and stained glass, leaving only the faint light from the sky barely penetrating, interweaving with the deep tones of the room to create a depressing beauty.

The black-robed believers gathered quietly in the dark space, their figures stretched out in the dim candlelight. Each of them wore a uniform black robe and a hood, revealing half of their pale faces in the shadows.

"I think everyone knows the topic for today's gathering. Let's get straight to the point and not waste any more time."

A man in black robe spoke.

"The elf is lost."

"I've already said that those two guys are unreliable." Someone snorted heavily, "Their abilities are far inferior to their reputations."

"Perhaps we should work together to capture it." Another man in black robes said, "All other activities can be put on hold for now.

It holds the key to entering the 'Lost Land'. It is about the awakening of the evil god, which should be the ultimate goal of the church."

"No one is saying we shouldn't take it seriously, but it's not that simple."

The man in black robe who looked like a leader spoke in a low voice.

"The elf was lost in the territory of Knight Hanno. We don't know who took it away, but we assume the worst, and maybe it is already in the hands of Knight Hanno."

Another person snorted coldly: "So what? The Advent Church is the vanguard of the evil god, coming to rule the world. If we are afraid to face a local gang, what is the need for us to exist?"

"He's right, I think so too."

As the man in black robe was speaking, everyone suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing through the church. Then all the candles suddenly went out, and boundless darkness dominated the entire space.

As the speaker was saying this word, his voice was suddenly cut off, replaced by a long string of strange “Ahhhh” cries. But soon the cries were swallowed by the darkness and disappeared.

Everyone was shocked.

"William? What happened? Are you still there?"

No response.

Everybody stood up.

"Don't panic."

Someone turned on a lighter. According to church rules, no electronic devices were allowed into the church, so this was the only lighting tool he had.

But just by the tiny light of the lighter, by the flickering flame, everyone else saw it.

A demon wearing a wide cloak was seen standing behind the believer holding the lighter, with a pair of claws reaching out to him.

Everyone saw it, except the believer holding the lighter.

“Be careful!”

"Behind you!"

Some people shouted, some tried to stop it, but it was too late.

The dazed believer was startled by his companions' shouts, and before he could react, he was suddenly dragged into the darkness by the devil's claws. The only trace of fire that had just lit up was immediately extinguished, and darkness swallowed everything again.

"We're under attack!"

"What?"

"Defense, defensive formation!"

Only the leader in black robe remained calm. He unfolded the duel disk and dropped a monster card on it.

There was a flash of light, and a knight in sacred white armor appeared in the dark sky.

Holy Knight-Ishuzak!

The light-attributed Paladin burst into dazzling white light when he was summoned. The entire church was instantly illuminated, the darkness dissipated, and the intruder finally appeared in front of them.

"Up there!"

As one person shouted, all the believers looked up.

In the corridor on the second floor of the church, a young man with silver hair and a white suit was sitting on the corridor railing with his legs crossed, looking down at all of them with a smile on his face.

The demon who had just launched the attack, the Destined Hero, Devil Boy, was hanging in the air beside him with his arms folded, his cloak fluttering gently.

"Okay, you guys caught me." Ed Phoenix smiled, "So, who's going to go first?"
