AN: here is the cypher for you all to solve to get the title of the story im working on Hwvjhsfwzl Nyvbw Joha 02/25/26 just to let you all know i changed how the Runick monsters work because there is no extra monster zone.
After waking up from a few hours of sleep, I take a shower and get ready for the day when I hear a soft knocking on my door. I walk over and open it; i see a small girl, almost an exact copy of the goddess. "Good morning. My mother asked me to retrieve you for breakfast," she said with a cold, doll-like expression. "Oh, thank you. I was just finishing getting ready," I said as I walked over, put on my duel disc, and followed her while Ash floated behind me, still groggy.
Upon arriving at the dining room, she took the seat to the left of the head of the table, while I decided to take the seat across from it. After a minute, the goddess entered the room carrying two trays full of food for all four of us, which included pomegranates, starfruit, fish, and porridge with tea as our drink. "Thank you for the meal," I said, waiting for them to make their plates. "It is no problem; you are our guest and if we are to have a duel after breakfast, we will both have to be at our strongest," she said as she began to eat.
After finishing the meal, she said, "are you ready?" as she stood up. Standing up, I followed her to the room with the three wicked gods. She positioned herself in front of the statues, while I stood at the entrance with her daughter off to the side. "Ready to start?" she asked while pulling out a gold staff topped with a black orb that began to glow purple. I responded by activating my duel disk and nodding my head.
As the duel started, a giant spell circle appeared on the ground, glowing a soft gold light. "I'm going to guess this is the seal that locks you both here?" I asked, "that is current now; let's start."
[goddess LP; 8,000] [Jason; 8,000]
"Ladies first," I said, drawing my five cards, and then five cards appeared in front of her. "Him very well i draw and activate the field spell Temple of the wicked gods." As she spoke, the temple began to glow with a purple light. "while this field spell is in play, no level 10 monsters can be tributed. I will then normal summon the monster Armageddon Knight."
He appeared in a swirl of miasma, resembling a knight clad in a combination of leather armor and metal plating, with a red scarf around his neck, a saber in his left hand, and a scrap metal shield in his right hand. [Armageddon Knight atk 1,400 def 1,200] "when he is summoned, I can send one dark monster from my deck to the graveyard. I will then set two cards face down and end my turn." she said, waving the staff as the two cards appeared on the ground.
"My turn; I draw first. I will activate Runick Dispelling and use its second effect, allowing me to special summon a Runick monster from my extra deck, so come on out, Hugin the Runick Wings." A flash of gold light revealed a girl floating in the air on the field; she had blond hair, wore an emerald green dress, and sported black wings adorned with gold runes, all surrounded by a shimmering gold barrier. [Hugin the Runick Wings atk 0 def 0]
"When she is summoned, I can discard one card and add a Runick card from my deck to my hand. I will send this one and activate the card I just added: come forth, Runick Fountain! When this field spell is active, I can play spell cards from my hand during your turn, and I can shuffle up to three Runick spells from my graveyard into my deck to draw that many cards." Now i will normal summon Primite Dragon Ether Beryl when this card is summoned, I can set one Primite card from my deck." after saying that i set one card.
"Now I will activate the card i just set. When Primate Lordly Lode is activated i can add one Primite card from my deck to my hand." after adding the card, I continued. "I will now use its effect by declaring the name of a normal monster. i can special summon it from my hand, deck, or graveyard in defense mode, so I declare Millennium Shield." [Millennium Shield atk 0, def 3,000] I will set one card face down and end my turn." i said it when the card appeared on the ground.
"That was certainly a lot of setup; let's hope it works out for you. I draw." She said these words while the orb on her staff glowed, causing a new card to appear in front of her. "Now I will activate the spell Allure of Darkness and banish this monster," she said, revealing a skeletal monster that I did not recognize, but it was clearly a dark one. "Now I will activate the second effect of my field spell once per turn by paying 1,000 life points. I can special summon one level 4 or lower dark monster, but that monster cannot attack this turn, and I will bring back the monster I sent last turn," she said.
[goddess; 8,000 -> 7,000]
Appearing on her field, out of the ground, was a fiend in gray robes with a sideways red eye on the chest. [Wicked cultist Dark LV 4 atk 1,000 def 1,500]
"When this monster is normal or special summoned, I can special summon up to two more copies of this monster from the hand, deck, or graveyard, but i cannot summon monsters from the extra deck for the rest of the turn and cannot be used for the tribute of a non-dark monster," she said as her staff glowed again and two more copies of the monster appeared on the field next to the original.
"Before you continue your turn, I activate the quick-play spell Runick Smiting Storm using its first effect, where you banish cards from the top of your deck equal to the number of cards you have on the field, meaning you banish 6 cards!" From the card came a hammer that swung itself and launched a small hurricane. Five cards came flying out of her staff, along with the statue of the wicked eraser turning to purple dust. "I see why you used that deck—you plan to defeat the gods by removing them from my deck before I can call them out. Very well done, but it's too late. I sacrifice all three of my Wicked cultists as a tribute."
"From the depths of the void where creation withers, I call upon the root of all dread. Pillar of ruin, shadow of divinity— Your mistress commands you to awaken! Break the silence, shatter the chains, and let the world tremble before your return! Arise, The Wicked Dreadroot!" After chanting, all three cultists transformed into black energy and merged with the statue of The Wicked Dreadroot. Moments later, the stone shell of the god began to crack, and black miasma leaked from the growing fissures. In an explosion of miasma, he was freed; behind him stood the god of dread, whose body was buff with green sickly skin, a skull, a helmet, two sharp bone pauldrons, and large pitch-black wings spread wide. He is the embodiment of all humanity's fears, but I am not afraid.
[The Wicked Dreadroot -Dark attribut Divine Fiend type, atk 4,000 def 4,000]
"When he is summoned, all monster attack and defenses are cut in half."
[Millennium Shield def 3,000 -> 1,500]
[Primite Dragon Ether Beryl 1,600 -> 800]
"In response i use Primite Dragon Ether Beryl effect and tribut it and this allows me to send one normal monster from my deck to the graveyard." I said. I then sent a second copy of the monster I sent on my first turn.
"Now I will activate one of my face-down cards, summoning the trap monster Wicked Idol. This monster cannot be destroyed by battle. I will then activate its effect by targeting one dark monster on my field, gaining life points equal to that monster's attack points; I will use it on my Wicked Dreadroot," she said with a smile. "Not so fast! I activate my face-down card, Primite Drillbeam. By revealing a normal monster or Primite card, I can target one card on the field, negate its effect, and then banish it." I said this before revealing the Summoned Skull card that I held in my hand. Then a powerful beam of blue light shot out of the card, striking the stone statue and turning it into purple light.
"Now, Wicked Dreadroot, attack his Millennium Shield," she said while pointing her staff at the shield. "Not yet. I activate Runick Slumber and use its first effect; this spell prevents my monster from being destroyed by battle and banishes the top three cards of your deck." After she said that, three additional cards flew out of her staff and transformed into purple dust. Then the Wicked Dreadroot hit the shield with a loud thud, but it held strong. "Now that I have used a Runick spell, I can utilize Fountain's effect to shuffle all three of my Runick spells back into my deck and draw three new cards."
"Fine, if i can't destroy your shield, I will get rid of your fairy now. Armageddon Knight cut her down," she said, pointing at Hugin. With a swift lunge, he dashed forward and swung his sword down, cutting her in half. But instead of entering my graveyard, she turned into gold light and entered the compartment in the duel disk for the extra deck. "That will be all for my turn," she said
"Alright, let me show you how I will deal with your god card. I draw now during my standby Phase I can add my Primite Dragon Ether Beryl back to my hand. I will then normal summon it and add a Primite card to my hand, then I activate the continuous spell Soul Absorption and then i will use the effect of Primite Lordly Lode and declare the name Red-Eyes Black Dragon and summon it from my graveyard in defense mode. Now because i control a Primite monster, I can set Drill beam from my graveyard and i will use it right away and banish your field spell." I said.
"I'm sorry, dear, but I can't allow you to do that. I activate my trap card wrath of the wicked god's this card negates the effect of one spell, trap, or monster effect as long as i control a wicked god monster." She said this as the wicked dreadroot released a beam of darkness, negating the drill beam. "That's fine; I still have a backup plan. I will activate the spell Runick Tip using the first effect; this card allows me to add one Runick card from my deck to my hand and then banish the top card of your deck." I said, adding the card I wanted, and a card flew out of her staff and turned to dust. "And because a card was banished, I gain 500 life points from soul absorption."
"Now I activate the card I just added, Runick Destruction. I will destroy your field spell and banish the top 4 cards of your deck." As a burst of gold fists struck the walls of the temple, the energy within it vanished and was absorbed by the statue of the wicked avatar. "Sorry to tell you, dear, but when this field spell is destroyed, i can special summon a wicked god from my hand, deck, or graveyard, ignoring its summoning conditions," she said as the black orb appeared on the field before shifting into the form of the wicked dreadroot.
Then 4 more cards flew from her staff and turned to dust. "I gain 2,000 life points from soul absorption. [Jason LP; 8,500 -> 10,500] Now it doesn't matter that you have two gods; they are now vulnerable to all gods' weaknesses. I tribute both of your gods and give you a lava golem in defense mode." A blaze of heat engulfed both gods in lava as the golem formed behind her. "Well done, dear," she said happily.
"Now i will activate the spell I added earlier Primite Fusion This card allows me to Fusion Summon a Dragon monster by shuffling the required materials from my hand, field, or graveyard back into the deck. I will shuffle my summoned skull in my hand, the red-eyes in my graveyard, and the Primite Imperial Dragon in my hand into the deck and summon Primite Dragon Nether Berzelius this card gains 1,000 attack for each normal monster used to summon it, so it gains 2,000."
[Primite Dragon Nether Berzelius atk 3,600 def 0]
"That ends my turn because I can't attack. On the turn, I used a Runick spell, but this ends my next turn," I said with a smile while looking at the last two cards in my hand. "Very well, my turn. I draw and i take the 1,000 damage from your golem. [goddess LP; 7,000 -> 6,000] "Now I activate the spell Demonic Tutor, which allows me to add one level 4 fiend monster from my deck to my hand," she said as her staff started to glow.
"I'm sorry to tell you, but I will stop that by discarding Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring from my hand; I can negate that card." I showed her the card, and afterward, Ash appeared on the field; with a small chortle, she released a wave The cherry blossoms snuffed out the glow of her staff just before she faded away.
"Very well, I still have a plan up my sleeves. I will activate Pot of Greed to draw two cards," she said. "I will activate the spell Runick Dispelling, using its first effect. When you add a card to your hand, this spell forces you to discard one card at random from your hand and then banish the top two cards of your deck." after saying this, one of the cards in her hand turned to dust and two more flew out and turned to dust and I gained 1,000 more life points.
[Jason LP; 10,500 -> 11,500]
"I will then shuffle three of my spells back into my deck and draw three cards." I said drawing the cards "I will change your golem into attack mode and end my turn," she said with a smile. "My turn; this is where it ends," i said as i drew my card. "Now i will start by activating the spell change of heart and taking back my golem. Now, the battle phase golem attack her Armageddon Knight!" i said pointing at it. With a jet of lava shot at him, he tried to save himself with his shield but was turned into slag in a second. [goddess LP; 6,000 -> 4,400]
"Now Primite Dragon Nether Berzelius attack her directly." with a blast of blue energy.
[goddes LP; 4,400 -> 800]
"Now i will enter my main phase two and activate the effect of Primite Lordly Lode and declare Red-Eyes Black Dragon summoning it in defense mode. Now I activate the spell Inferno Fire Blast. This card allows me to target one red-eyed black dragon and inflict damage on you equal to its original attack, but it cannot attack. But that doesn't matter because this is the end. After saying this, the Red-Eyes Black Dragon reared its head back and launched a ball of black fire at her.
[goddess LP; 800 -> 0]
After the smoke cleared, the gold spell circle on the ground burst like glass and disappeared. Looking over to the goddess, I saw she was crying on the ground. As I made my way over, her daughter came running to her. "Mother, are you ok?" she asked, giving her mom a hug. "Yes, dear, I'm more than fine. We are finally free after so long! You can finally see the sun, and I can watch you enjoy all that the outside has to offer," she said, hugging her daughter tighter.
