168 I am the man who is going to become the next Duel King!

As the exact same Orichalcos seal, radiating an eerie green light, was imprinted upon the forehead of the God, The Obelisk the Tormentor, seventy to eighty percent of its body's control was seized by that unknown dark force!

"Roar—!"

Blessed by the power of the Seal of Orichalcos, the God raised its head and let out a heaven-shaking roar. At last, even in its normal state, its attack power could rival Kaiba's Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, born from the fusion of three Blue-Eyes White Dragons!

If this amplification were to happen once more, then even the "Five-Headed Dragon" and the "Dragon Master Knight," which possessed the highest data panel values in Duel Monsters, would find themselves knocked off the pedestal of normal attack power by the Obelisk!

"Heh-ha-ha-ha-ha! Hump-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

Looking up at the Obelisk standing obediently behind him, Gurimo laughed aloud with his hands spread wide and raised.

"Did you see that, President Yuyi? This is the power of our great God of Orichalcos! Even the three Phantom Gods, who reign at the absolute apex of Duel Monsters, have no choice but to obediently obey my commands under the Orichalcos power radiated by the Seal of Orichalcos!"

Meanwhile, standing in the spot where Gurimo had originally appeared, Raphael, wearing a purple-black trench coat-style overcoat, looked down condescendingly at the two duelists battling on the ground below. Especially upon seeing the Obelisk summoned by Gurimo, standing "loyally" behind him, Raphael curled the corner of his mouth and muttered to himself:

"Gurimo, use the Phantom God you summoned to properly entertain Mr. President for me! If possible, defeating him right here is the best option! However..."

No matter what, the opponent was the King of Games, the President of Industrial Illusions, and also the duelist who had held possession of the three Phantom Gods for the longest time since their appearance. Even facing the "revolted" Obelisk now, he probably wouldn't be defeated so easily. It was even possible that within the opponent's deck, there had long existed such "god-slaying methods" to deal with a "betrayal" by a Phantom God!

Therefore, use your utmost strength to help Lord Dartz test Sakaki Yuyi's dueling strength and deck information!

Returning to the duel, glancing at the Orichalcos mark on the Obelisk's forehead, Gurimo finally began to explain what role the Field Spell "The Seal of Orichalcos" played in a duel:

"Monsters engraved with the 'Seal of Orichalcos' are 'darkened'! Their attack power will also increase by 500 points as a result!"

"Next, I use the Quick-Play Spell 'Shield Wall' to summon four 'Shield Beast Tokens' in Defense Position on my field!"

In an instant, four humanoid knight monsters holding shields appeared on Gurimo's field, and the defense power of each Shield Beast Token was 1000 points.

At first glance, it looked like an enhanced version of the Quick-Play Spell "Scapegoat," and in reality, it truly was.

Though the exact attack power was unclear, the defense power was neither too high nor too low at 1000 points. At least when facing monsters with piercing defense damage, the opponent still had to calculate the damage after subtracting 1000 defense power, whereas Scapegoats took full attack power damage.

Moreover, the turn Scapegoat was activated, the player could not summon, flip summon, or Special Summon monsters in any way other than this card, but this "Shield Wall" printed by Doma itself directly lacked this restriction!

In the anime plot, during Yugi's Battle Phase, "Shield Wall" was used first to summon Shield Beast Tokens to block the Dark Magician's attack, and immediately after that, another Quick-Play Spell of his that could summon token monsters was activated, seemingly lacking the restriction of "Scapegoat."

'Doma's card-printing technology is truly so awesome that even I, a company president, can't help but exclaim "good grief"!'

Looking at the four Shield Beast Tokens filling the monster zones in an instant, Yuyi couldn't help but feel emotional in his heart about the card-printing technology of the Doma organization. The current "Shield Wall" and "The Seal of Orichalcos" were outrageous, and Dartz, as the mastermind behind the scenes, had those "Orichalcos" monsters and cards that were so overpowered it felt like he was printing cards with his feet!

"Magic Card 'Card of Demise'! Both players draw cards from their decks until they have six cards in their hands!"

Instantly refilling his hand, Gurimo could continue his operations.

"Activate the Quick-Play Spell 'Bronze Knights'! This card allows the player to Special Summon that many 'Bronze Knight Tokens' onto their field based on the number of cards discarded from their hand!"

After activating this card, Gurimo entered a self-questioning segment, looking at the silent Yuyi across from him and saying:

"Mr. President, you should be quite shocked right now, shouldn't you? According to the dueling rules, players can only have a maximum of five monsters on the field, not to mention that all my monster slots are already full! So, where would I get extra monster slots to place these 'Bronze Knight Tokens'?"

Yuyi: "..."

I won't speak, I'll just quietly watch you act cool.

"Ha! Such a thing does not exist in a conventional duel, but within the barrier deployed by the power of our great 'God of Orichalcos', it is entirely possible!"

"The power of the seal allows monsters to expand their living space into their own Spell & Trap zones! That is to say, if I do not set a Spell & Trap card, I can have a maximum of ten monsters on my field!"

"Discard four cards from my hand to Special Summon four 'Bronze Knight Tokens' on my field!"

As Gurimo threw his four cards into the graveyard, four iron knights clad in bronze armor appeared in his Spell & Trap zones. Blessed by the power of the seal, the combined attack power of the four monsters reached a height rivaling the Obelisk.

"Set one card, and enter the Battle Phase!"

Setting his last card, Gurimo completed all preparations for this turn and immediately commanded the Obelisk to attack the monster of its original owner, Yuyi.

"Go! Dark Obelisk! Destroy the president's set monster! Dark God Hand Crusher!"

As a powerful gust of wind burst forth from the Dark Obelisk's huge iron fist, Yuyi's set monster was instantly blown flipped face-up.

A gray-black mud body, beige shoulder and sole lines, and a small red head completely disproportionate to its massive body—it was "Elemental HERO Clayman," who hadn't appeared on stage for a very long time!

"Bang-boom!"

With a Defense Position of 2000 points, it could be said to be his proudest trait for a Level 4 monster, but when the opponent changed from a monster of the same level to the Phantom God at the apex of Duel Monsters, a defense of 2000 meant nothing! One punch from the iron fist, and it instantly perished!

"Tch!"

Looking at Clayman shattered by a single iron fist from the Dark Obelisk, and then glancing at his own set card, Yuyi curled his lip in annoyance.

He had originally intended to use Clayman as a rare opening move, pairing it with his exclusive trap to drag one of Gurimo's monsters down to hell with him, but who would have thought the opponent would summon the Obelisk on their very first turn!

Even controlled by the power of the seal, the Obelisk's absolute trap immunity as a Phantom God had not vanished. Therefore, facing the incoming Dark Obelisk, Yuyi could only watch helplessly as Clayman served merely as a defensive barrier before heading to the graveyard.

And with Clayman entering the graveyard, the set card "Clay Slam" was now practically reduced to a waste card taking up space on the field!

"Mr. President! For you, who currently doesn't have a single monster, my four 'Bronze Knight Tokens' are a fatal existence!"

Yuyi's full life points of 4000, combined with Gurimo's four Bronze Knight Tokens with a combined attack power of 4000—as long as the battle wasn't interrupted, he could eliminate Yuyi, the King of Games, on this very first turn of his!

Ah, subarashii desu! I never expected that little old me, Gurimo, would actually have a day like this! Achieving the feat of "OTK (One Turn Kill) the King of Games 'Sakaki Yuyi'" on my own first turn of the duel!

Once the duel ended, he could return to the headquarters and brag to all his colleagues.

Look, I, Gurimo, am the man who defeated the King of Games! You all better show me some respect from now on!

As he thought about it, Gurimo wore a infatuated grin. Coupled with his crew cut and bearded uncle appearance, it was truly sleazy to the extreme!

"Now! End the president's life, my Bronze Knights!"
