Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

The familiar words of the android Soga echoed in Yusei's ears.

($

Yusei raised an eyebrow and looked at the card that the android Soga had just added to his hand.

[The Laws of the Universe]...

That spell card that forces your opponent to set cards from their deck, allowing you to summon [Junko - Psychic Shocker] from your own deck.

In the very first round, Yusei suffered a cultural loss due to this magic card.

With the intention of testing the waters, Yusei chose to include a trap card in his deck, but in the end, he wasted a [Divine Judgment] card...

"Spell Card [Laws of the Universe] activated! Based on this card's effect, you can set one Trap Card from your hand or Deck!"

Android Soga, having added a spell card from his deck to his hand, decisively activated it, once again forcing Yusei to make a choice: "So be it! Choose... face down or not face down!"

Raising his arm and pointing at Yusei opposite him, the android Soga's face flashed with a mocking light.

Having regained a significant advantage, his anger gradually subsided, and he returned to his initial arrogant demeanor, unafraid to take anyone seriously.

He now has four monsters on the field, including himself. The combined attack power of these monsters is as high as 2400*3+1700=8900 points!

The damage from this value... if Android Soga had chosen to simply push through, even if Yusei had 4000 LP at full strength, or even doubled it to 8000, it would have been reduced to 0.

Furthermore, with the suppression effect of the Android monsters, even if Yusei has various protective shields or magic cylinders on his field at this moment, they cannot activate their effects...

"...If I cover the card, it will become the same as before, and I won't be able to activate it. It will only make things easier for the other party... So this time I choose not to cover the card."

After considering the gains and losses and learning from his previous mistakes, Yusei made a completely different choice this time.

Even if you set up a trap card called "Trick the Grass" that can activate its effect in the graveyard and is unaffected by Android Soga, you can't guarantee that the opponent's Android Soga will obediently step into the trap and destroy the cards you set up on the field like last turn, thus giving you a chance to Special Summon a monster from your Deck or Extra Deck.

If I were to foolishly place another card, I might fall into the trap set by the android Soga, giving it another opportunity to deploy its abilities...

"Tsk... Have you learned your lesson?"

Looking at the last card in his hand—[Psychic Giant] (Machine/DARK/Level 6/ATK 2200/DEF 1200)—a look of regret flashed across the face of the android Soga.

This card can only be Special Summoned from your hand if your opponent has more Spell & Trap Cards on their field than you do.

Now that the special summoning opportunity has already been given to [Mirror Wizard - Nen Reflector], [Psychic Giant] is essentially stuck in our hands...

Even if you want to summon it, you can only do so in the next round.

"Since you choose not to set your card, I will activate the second follow-up effect of [Laws of the Universe]: add one [Android - Psychic Shocker] or one monster card whose name is written on it from your deck to your hand."

"How despicable...this magic card!"

As the android Soga explained the card's effects, Marufuji Sho frowned.

Whether you set the card face-down or not, it won't affect its effect. In any case, Android Soga can retrieve one Android card from the deck.

Faced with such a shameless opponent, if it were him, he would have already chosen to surrender...

"Searching for monster cards... Could it be that Android Soga is planning to continue Special Summoning? After summoning so many monsters, it still doesn't seem to be stopping..."

Jaden Yuki, now in duel-brain mode, has begun to try to see the duel through the eyes of the android Soga.

From the words and actions of the android Soga, Jaden Yuki had roughly deduced its next plan.

That is, to continue with special summons...

"Based on the effect of the spell card, I've added [Junkman - Psychic King] (Machine/DARK/Level 8/ATK 2600/DEF 1600) to my hand from my deck!"

"Next, I activate the monster effect of [Android - Psychic King] to send one of my [Android - Psychic Shocker] monsters to the Graveyard, thereby Special Summoning this monster from my hand!"

Just like when he activated a spell card before, Android Soga, who had retrieved a monster card from his deck, couldn't wait to perform a Special Summon again.

As the price for the Special Summon of [Homunculus - King of Psychic], Homunculus Soga sent [Homunculus - Psychic Shocker], which he had previously summoned from the Graveyard using the effect of [Homunculus - Returner of Psychic], back to the Graveyard.

Monsters Special Summoned by the effect of [Android - Psychic Returner] are destroyed during the End Phase, so Android Soga chose to make this monster a sacrifice for the arrival of the Psychic King.

As Android Soga finished speaking, an Android—the "Psycho King"—appeared beside Android Soga, looking as if it had crossed over from the Dragon Ball world. It wore a purple battle suit, three night-vision goggles on its head, clothes hangers on its shoulders, and a bunch of sockets floating around its body. It replaced the "Psycho Shocker" that had been sent to the graveyard.

[Homunculus - Psychic Shocker] (Attack Power 2400), [Homunculus - Psychic Stacker (Homunculus Soga)] (Attack Power 2400), [Homunculus - Psychic King] (Attack Power 2600), [Mirror Mage - Psychic Reflector] (Attack Power 1700)...

Just as Android Soga had declared before, intending to kill Yusei, it drained the Android deck of all its power in this turn, summoning its three older brothers to the field...

"Because you Special Summoned a monster, I'll draw another card..."

(Yusei's hand size: 9 → 10)

When [Android - Psychic King] appeared on the field, the hand formed by the small black dots generated by [Proliferation G] had already drawn a card from the deck and placed it at the top of the Duel Disk.

Yusei, who caught a glimpse of this phenomenon out of the corner of his eye, took the card directly from [Proliferation G].

"This is……?!"

Looking at the card he had just taken from the deck, Yusei's eyes immediately flashed with an uncontrollable, intense smile.

"?"

Noticing the change in Yusei's expression, the android Soga's face darkened.

How can this kid still laugh in this situation? Is he crazy?

"Hehehe... This is getting interesting!"

Having drawn the Meteorite, Yusei immediately abandoned his plan to survive this turn using the [Kite Robot] and [Spherical Kuriboh] cards in his hand.

The reason he wasn't flustered just now was simply because he had [Kite Machine] in his hand, which could block two direct attacks, and [Kuriboo], which could force one of the opponent's monsters into a defensive stance.

Three of the four monsters blocked the arrival of the android Soga, who was only able to be attacked by one monster. Soga was completely unable to defeat Yusei in this turn.

Losing G, grave pointing, or suspension.

In the past, what opponents feared in duels was not the card "Multiplying G" itself, but the series of other hand traps it created.

For example, [Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring], [Ghost Rabbit], [Floating Cherry Blossom], [Yashiki-warashi], [Effect Masker], [Infinite Bubble], etc.

Whether it was a trick of fate or destiny, I don't know.

In short, by sheer coincidence, Yusei happened to draw an incredibly magical card! So magical that it could instantly turn the tide of battle…

It was precisely because of the android Soga's indifference that Yusei's hand size was able to grow to as many as 10 cards in a single turn...

In the rules of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duels, Yusei is only required to keep his hand size at a maximum of 6 cards at the end of his turn. Therefore, Yusei can hold this large number of cards and duel with Android Soga until the end of the next turn...

"Hey hey hey..."

I'm going to just bring my deck and beat you up, are you scared or not?

With a handful of cards in his hand, Yusei had already devised a hundred ways to utterly defeat the android Soga...

-

【Nibiru in its primordial life form】

(Rock/Light/11-star/Attack 3000/Defense 600)

effect:

This card's effect can only be used once per turn.

This effect can only be activated during the Main Phase of the turn in which your opponent successfully Summons or Special Summons 5 or more monsters.

Special Summon this card from your hand by Tributing all face-up monsters on your or your opponent's field.

After that, Special Summon 1 "Primal Life Token" (Rock-Type, Light, Level 11, ATK/DEF?) to the opponent's field.

The ATK and DEF of this derivative become the sum of the original ATK and DEF of the monster released by this effect. This effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn.

【Primal Life Form Nibiru】, also known as the Meteorite, is a powerful and devastating hand trap for storytelling decks...

Although the Android deck cannot be considered a storytelling deck that performs countless Special Summons in a single turn, Android Soga, thinking he had gained an advantage and was completely in control, began to get arrogant.

With a smug look on its face, it recklessly consumed its resources, constantly performing special summons and summoning a bunch of android monsters on its field.

This behavior was less about killing Yusei and more about showing off one's strength.

The android Soga, who claims to be a high-dimensional being and the ultimate crystallization of scientific wisdom, intends to demonstrate his power to the humans before him...

After absorbing Yusei and being fully resurrected, he naturally wouldn't let anyone else go.

However, the android Soga, now inflated, is unaware of one thing...

Its boastful act itself fulfills the activation condition of [Primal Life Form Nibiru]: "The opponent's Summon or Special Summon a total of 5 or more times"...

The special recruitment that should have defeated Yusei instead became a harbinger of its self-destruction due to the use of the meteorite...

"I have a whole bunch of monsters on my side, while your field is completely empty. In this situation, what do you have to fight me with?"

"Kid! I think you'd better surrender obediently! That way, I might be merciful and grant you a quick death!"

With his arms crossed and a smug look on his face, the android Soga looked at Yusei, who seemed to be deep in thought, and issued a declaration of surrender.

Foolish humans! Become the sacrifice for my resurrection! Then I will mercifully give you a quick death instead of slowly torturing you.

So, aren't you incredibly tempted?

For you uncivilized monkeys, this is already an immense blessing!

You should feel honored to be the sacrifices for the resurrection of my android Zorg!

"Hehe..."

"Honey~ If you're still sleepy, we suggest you go back to sleep~"

With an expression as if he were looking at an idiot, and in a customer service-like, overly friendly tone, Yusei rejected the android Soga's offer without hesitation.

Yusei felt nothing but pity for the android Soga, who had become careless because he thought he had everything under control...

The android Soga, who made outrageous remarks and allowed Yusei to freely draw cards, had no idea that he had made a colossal mistake...

If he chooses to pause and advance to the Battle Phase after Xyz Summoning, it may still deal some damage to Yusei.

However, having become arrogant after its transformation, it chose to continue its expansion and special summons, allowing Yusei to draw even more cards from its deck...
