However, in the face of Kedien's ridicule and doubt, Atum just snorted coldly, and then said lightly: "This monster is not an ordinary existence. It carries the deep friendship and indestructible bond between me and Aibo. How can a person like you who only has coldness and desire in your heart understand the true power behind this friendship?"

Hearing this, Kedien laughed out loud as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world: "Friendship? Bond? Hahaha! How childish! In the face of absolutely powerful strength, these boring emotions are not worth mentioning at all! To me, they are nothing but a burden that ties my hands and feet!"

"I see. Since you're so unconvinced, I'll have to speak with facts!"

Raising his hand and clicking the button to activate the card, Atum pointed at the card on his backcourt that had been blocked in the previous round and could not be activated and said loudly: "Activate the trap card, Illusion Curse!" (Original comic!)

"The effect of this card is that the special abilities of the monsters cursed by this card will be all negated and their attack power will be reduced by 500 points."

The purple six-pointed star card activated its effect as the card was opened. As Atem's signature card, this card, which has not yet been materialized, is known as a forbidden highest-level spell, so even the God Card is not immune!

(Note: This is nonsense from the original author. Although I don’t know what the original author was thinking, Atum’s original words probably mean that this Fantasy Binding is a forbidden spell that is used to seal the phantom gods. Even the three phantom gods cannot resist its effect! Although it can only affect the gods for one turn, the fact that the gods can also eat trap cards is enough to prove how valuable this card is!)

As expected, without any surprise, the purple hexagram magic circle quickly enveloped the Conqueror King Golden Madman Aldridge, and the whole person fell into a state of depression. Under the powerful magic of the hexagram magic circle, the Conqueror King Golden Madman Aldridge slowly knelt on one knee on the ground.

"Hmph, interesting. So this is the card you covered in your backcourt?" He didn't expect that he had chosen this card in the last round. After shaking his head slightly, Kedien, who had been prepared, raised his hand and opened a covered card in his backcourt.

"Counter Trap Card activated, the eternal shining golden city!"

He chain-activated the face-up card on his backfield. Kedien, who had been prepared for a long time, said with a strange smile, "The effect of this card is that if there is an Eldridge monster on your field, when the effect of the monster, a magic card or a trap card is activated, it can only be activated by releasing an Undead monster on your field. I can invalidate that activation and destroy it."

"While Conqueror King Golden Madman Eldridge is in the Monster Zone, its card name will be regarded as Golden Lord Eldridge. Now, I will release this monster and negate the Curse of Fantasy!"

Swish!

The King of Conquerors, Golden Madman Eldridge, who was bound by the hexagram, turned into golden fragments and disappeared from the field under the effect of the card. Although he successfully invalidated the trap card launched by Atum, it was obvious that Kedien's actions still suffered a great loss in the eyes of Ed and others.

After all, the Conqueror King Golden Madman Eldridge was regarded as a trump card by Qdeen. Losing this monster meant that Atum could launch a direct attack on him.

"He actually gave up his trump card monster?" His brows wrinkled slightly. As a typical person from the underworld playing cards from the world of the living, Atum obviously found it difficult to understand Kedien's meaningless operation.

"Discard? No! No! In the eyes of an alchemist, there are only materials! Besides, proper discarding is an important part of creating new life!" With a sinister smile, Kedien opened another face-up card on his backfield and activated the effect of the card again.

"Quick Play Spell Card Activate, Eldritchil of White Fate!"

"The effect of this card is that you can select an Undead-type monster from your hand or Graveyard and Special Summon it. Also, if you don't have an Eldridge monster on the field, this effect means you can't Special Summon unless you have an Eldridge monster. Finally, after this card is activated, you can't Special Summon unless you have an Undead monster until the end of the turn."

"Now, I will use the Conqueror King Golden Mad Eldridge in the Graveyard as the target of the effect and Special Summon this monster!"

"Come on, immortal king, come back to my place once more!"

"King of Conquerors Golden Mad Eldridge, attack!" (Attack Power 3800 Defense Power 3500)

"I see, this is your real purpose. But, didn't you hear it? Because of your actions, your monster is already crying!"

Although the Continuous Magic Card Golden Chest of Light in Atem's backfield has a special effect that allows him to discard a Magic Card from his hand and then target one of the monsters and send it to the Graveyard when the opponent player Special Summon a monster from the Graveyard, unfortunately, he currently has no Magic Cards in his hand.

"Haha, what a joke! How can a monster have emotions? As my servant, you only need to obey my orders!"

"Hehehe~! How about it, human? Now that you have lost the card that can limit the King of Conquerors' abilities, do you still have a chance to turn things around?"

"Hmph, what's listed is waduoga na!!!"

Facing Kedien's ridicule, Atum slowly raised his finger and pointed at the Destroyer Dragon Gondola G in front of him, and said with a grin: "The special effect of the Destroyer Dragon Gondola G is activated!"

"This monster's special effect can be activated by paying half its Life Points! Its effect is to destroy and banish all cards on the field except this monster. After that, I can Special Summon a Level 7 or lower monster with the name of the Golden Cabinet of Light from my Deck. In addition, the Level of the monster Special Summoned by this effect is increased by the number of cards destroyed by this effect!"

"Now, I'm going to pay half of my health points and activate this effect!"

"Feel the powerful force of the forbidden black-gold Tyrannosaurus!"

"The taboo ends!"

Atum LP500>250

"Ha ha!!!"

"Nothing! Nothingness! Nothingness!"

"The Conqueror King Golden Madman Eldridge cannot be destroyed by battle or any special effects. There is no point in you doing this!"

The red beam of death quickly swept across the entire duel arena like a spider web. In this indiscriminate destruction, even the cards on Atum's own field were not spared!

Just as Qdeen said, after the pungent smoke, the figure of the Conqueror King Golden Madman Eldridge slowly emerged from the thick smoke. As for Atum's field, except for the Continuous Magic Card Golden Cabinet of Light that cannot be destroyed by monster effects and the Destruction Dragon Gondola G that activated its effect, all other cards were blown away and sent to the Exclusion Zone.

"You actually destroyed your own monster, human. Your behavior is really stupid!" Obviously not realizing the seriousness of the matter, Kedien still thought it was Atum's operational error.

"No, that's fine!"

Atum showed the card that had just been blown away and said with a smile: "Black Mage? The special effect of the Black Mage is activated!"

"When this monster is destroyed by its effect, if there is a Level 5 or higher monster on the field, I can activate this. I can Special Summon this card! Then, I can also place a Spell or Trap Card with the name of Black Magician on my field from my Deck!"

"According to this effect, the card I will place on my backfield is the Quick-Play Magic Card Baptism of Light and Darkness!"

"It's not over yet!"

"The follow-up effect of Destruction Dragon Gondola G is activated!"

"I can Special Summon a Level 7 or lower monster with the name of the Golden Cabinet of Light from my Deck!"

"Come, my servant, obey the king's call and show yourself!"

"Devil's Light Comes, Attack Position!" (Attack 2500 Defense 1200) (Note, a new disguise for Demon Summoning.) Once again changing its disguise, as an ace card in Atem's deck during the DM period, the Demon Summoning, which was originally just an ordinary bone, gained powerful power with the continuous development of Duel Monsters.

Especially after Atum returned to the underworld, this monster, as the former's favorite card, also gained powerful power!

His whole body was covered with golden armor. In the golden lightning, the devil's light appeared in Atum's front court with a roar.

"2500 attack points? Humph, just a small fry!" After sneering a few times, Kedien said with disdain.

Even though the show was really grand when it appeared, in terms of attack power, the Demon's Light was obviously no match for the Conqueror King. Coupled with the Conqueror King's own special resistance, this was the main reason why Kedien was so fearless.

"Humph!"

Atum snorted coldly, staring at Kedian in front of him with a sharp gaze, then he slowly raised his hand, extended an index finger, pointed it directly at the other party, and said righteously: "Kedian, have you forgotten what I told you before?"

At this point, Atum paused for a moment, as if to give Kedien some time to react and think. However, when he saw that the other party did not respond, he continued, "To tell you the truth, the deck I am using now is not just an ordinary card combination! It was born out of the deep bond between me and my partners! For me, it is not just a fighting force, but more importantly, it carries the indestructible and unbreakable bond that I have established with my partners as we have gone through hardships together!"

Atum became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees: "In the face of truly pure and powerful friendship, any difficulties and obstacles will no longer be a stumbling block to our progress! No matter how big the difficulties are, as long as we trust and support each other, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and finally reach the other side of victory!"

"Sa! Now look at your front field, your monster has betrayed you!"

(Note: Killing people and destroying their hearts, full of memories!)

"Wha-what?!"

After hearing Atum's words, the originally calm expression on Kedien's face was instantly replaced by fear, and the ghostly blue fire in his empty pupils kept flickering. For Kedien, who had already transformed his body into an undead, such a change was enough to prove that he had already fallen into panic.

As Atum spoke, the conqueror king, Eldridge, wearing golden armor, turned around slowly and steadily.

As the monster moved, its dazzling golden armor flashed with such brilliance that Kedien could not look directly at it. Especially when Aldridge turned around completely, Kedien could clearly see the Conqueror King's red eyes filled with murderous intent and anger.

"Ouch!"

A deafening roar came out of Eldridge's mouth like thunder. Faced with such a horrific scene, Kedien could no longer bear the fear in his heart. His legs went soft and he fell straight to the ground.

However, things don’t end there!

The alchemical product created by Kedion himself, the conquering king, the gold maniac Eldridge, was now approaching Kedion, who was lying on the ground, with heavy steps. With every step he took, the ground would tremble slightly, as if the whole world was trembling with his anger.

Looking at Eldridge approaching him, Kedian shouted in horror: "Eldridge! I-I am your creator! Bastard, it is me who gave you the incomparable power and eternal immortal life! How could you betray your own master?!"

"It's you! Atum, you must have done something!"

However, no matter how Kedien shouted, Eldridge had no intention of stopping. His blood-red eyes were still flashing with a fierce light, staring at the man in front of him who had given him everything.

Philosopher's Stone!

It is the ultimate alchemical product that every alchemist desires!

In a certain country in the elven world, in order to obtain the Philosopher's Stone, the country's famous alchemists gathered on an isolated island and began a forbidden experiment.

Kedian is one of them!

After the experiment failed, Qdeen, who was also contaminated by the Philosopher's Stone Eldrish, became an undead and gained eternal life!

(Note: "The Philosopher's Stone: Sabahir" is Daitokuji's life's work. Judging from the results, it is not difficult to see the huge gap between the two!)

In order to realize his own ambitions, Kedien spread the news of the Golden Island and took advantage of human greed to capture more experimental materials.

The King of Conquerors, the Golden Madman Eldridge!

Not only is it his greatest masterpiece, but also a tragic victim!
