Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Reflecting Abidas III's surprised expression in his eyes, Jaden Yuki smiled and stretched out his arm: "Activate the second effect of [Evil Hero Wild Fuma]! If this card inflicts battle damage on your opponent, destroy all Set Spell/Trap Cards on your opponent's field."

During Avidas III's long voyage, there were two cards whose contents were unknown. It was only after seeing these two face-down cards that Jaden Yuki did not rush to target Avidas III's coffin.

"Don't even think about it! I..."

"Mr. Mu! According to the effect of [Evil Hero Wild Wind Demon], when he attacks, the opponent cannot activate Spell/Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step!"

Seeing that Abidas III was about to activate the backfield card, Jaden Yuki quickly interrupted him.

"Varied……"

The Wild Wind Demon flapped its bat wings, whipping up a fierce wind that swept towards Abidas III's location.

Unable to resist, Abidas III could only watch helplessly as his Geka was destroyed by the Wild Wind Demon.

"Hmm, let me see... [Trap Hole]... Its effect is to negate and destroy the effects of monsters Special Summoned this turn..."

"【Royal Curse】: When a Spell/Trap Card that targets only 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field and intends to destroy that card is activated, you can negate that activation and destroy it..."

As he counted the cards that had been sent to the graveyard, Jaden Yuki patted his chest with a sense of relief: "Thank goodness, thank goodness I chose to play it safe and didn't rush to activate the card effects, otherwise it would be awkward now..."

【Trap Hole】can negate and destroy the effects of Special Summoned monsters. Without the suppressive power of 【Evil Hero Wild Wind Demon】, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The "Royal Curse" is specifically designed to counter cards like "Whirlwind". If Jaden Yuki tries to destroy Abyss III's coffin, he will immediately be countered by the trap card!

So, is heavy-duty slag removal the mainstream trend of the times?

Even duelists from three thousand years ago believed in this principle and included such targeted trap cards in their decks.

“KI☆SA☆MA…!!! You bastard…are you planning to destroy my coffin?”

Realizing Jaden Yuki's intentions, Abidas III, now without the protection of the heavy pit, clenched his fists tightly, revealing a clear expression of anger on his face hidden behind his mask.

395 The summoning conditions are so complicated, the effect must be very strong, right?

The heavy pit trap that was protecting the two coffin lids from being destroyed was successfully cleared by Jaden Yuki thanks to the effect of [Evil Hero Wild Wind Demon].

Having lost these protections, Abydas III experienced a profound inner turmoil.

To this day, no one has ever dared to have such thoughts about me, dared to disobey my decrees, or dared to lay a hand on my coffin...

Judai Yuki, you're quite the unexpected guy!

A strange emotion suddenly welled up from the depths of his heart, and the corners of Abydas III's mouth unconsciously curled up slowly.

All the victories he had achieved had left him feeling numb and bored.

This duel with Jaden Yuki, spanning a thousand years, gave him a sense of crisis and excitement he had never felt before...

Jaden Yuki... What kind of developments do you plan to make next?

I am truly looking forward to it!

"Battle over... Entering Main Phase 2, I summon Elemental HERO Clayman in Defense Position (ATK 800/DEF 2000), then set up a card..."

Wiping his nose and glancing at the [R-Justice Judgment] in his hand, Jaden Yuki, instead of ending his turn, smiled at Avidas III and said, "Although I said earlier that I was going to destroy your coffin... I've changed my mind and now I'm going to destroy it instead."

-

【R - Judgment of Justice】

(Normal Spell Card)

Effect: Destroy the number of "Elemental HERO" cards on your field.

-

"...Nani? What exactly are you planning?"

Upon hearing these words, Abidas III was momentarily unable to understand what Jaden Yuki was thinking.

What does it mean to change your mind? What does it mean to no longer intend to cause trouble?

Are you trying to say... you're deliberately going easy on me?

...Are you kidding me? I don't need your pity!!!

"If Jaden had summoned Nendoroid before the start of the battle phase, he could have dealt 800 more points of damage to Avidas III... Moreover, using Nendoroid as fusion material would have allowed for other fusion summons as well."

The invincible clay hero has an attack power of up to 800 points!

Those fists, the size of sandbags, could probably kill a bull with one punch!

"It looks like..."

Touching his chin, Yusei shook his head helplessly: "That Jaden guy, he's not serious at all!"

“Abidas III… how should I put it…”

Watching the situation on the field, Asuka sighed softly, "Because he is a legendary duelist known as a god, I was always looking forward to seeing his immense strength... but in reality..."

At this point, Asuka closed her eyes and slowly shook her head, clearly not intending to dwell on the topic any further.

However, even before she finished speaking, Yusei already understood what she meant.

How did Abidas III, such an outdated and ancient paintbrush, become the King of the Seven Stars?

You... were you also forced to come here to fill a quota, just like Daitokuji-sensei?

“You are the first person to try to destroy my coffin, Tenth Generation Yuki!” King Abidas III said calmly, uttering a surprising fact.

"...Huh? The first one? Wouldn't a normal person notice these things and then destroy them?" Scratching his head in confusion, Jaden Yuki's face showed obvious bewilderment.

Seeing this delayed effect, why not take action?

Your Majesty... are all your opponents blind?

Or are they deliberately letting you win? Giving you a chance?

"……normal?"

Upon hearing this, Abidas III paused, then subconsciously glanced at his subordinates behind him.

Upon seeing them instinctively turn their heads away, Abidas III immediately understood what Jaden Yuki was trying to say.

"Is that so? So this is the normal state?" Seemingly shocked by his worldview, Abydas III slowly knelt down and began to stare at the ground beneath his feet.

"Then what..."

Putting down his right hand that was scratching his head, Jaden Yuki added somewhat uncertainly, "Your Majesty? Your strength shouldn't be weak, right? After all, you're known as the God of Duels... Before I went on stage, I was actually prepared to be beaten to a pulp!"

Abidas III: "..."

Words, like sharp blades, pierced Abydas III's chest, leaving him speechless and embarrassed.

"Was Abydas III really the man known as the God's Duelist in ancient Egypt?" Looking at the changes in Abydas III, Ryo Marufuji couldn't help but voice his doubts.

Compared to the previous Seven Star Kings, this guy's strength is far too weak, isn't it?

“That’s right, I also think that Pharaoh’s deck and skill level are very ordinary… completely unworthy of the title of God of Duels.”

With his arms crossed, Manjoume had a "I can do it too" expression on his face: "He even put a weak monster with 0 defense in his deck, no wonder he was suppressed by Jaden!"

If I had known this Seven Star King was so weak, I should have let Mr. Manjoume show off earlier...

Damn it! Judai, your luck is just too good!

“…No wonder, no wonder it was like this…” Adopting a gesture of reminiscence, Abydas III, who was at a disadvantage, began to recall his past experiences.

In the ancient Egyptian capital, one could easily win duels by simply summoning ordinary monsters like "Killer Snakes".

No matter how powerful a duelist may be in the outside world, they can only suffer a regrettable defeat in front of him.

Even when they were in a crisis a few times, their opponents would often lose due to poor performance or selective amnesia for various reasons...

At the time, he was so caught up in his victory that he didn't understand what was going on, but now he finally realized that these people had been deliberately letting him win!

On the surface, they say flattering things like, "Oh dear, he's no match for the Pharaoh!", "A powerful duelist like Lord Abidas will never appear again!", and "So strong! I'm dead!"

However, behind their backs, they were complaining, "To avoid hurting the Pharaoh, the story has to concede, but not too obviously..." "Ugh, our king is such a weakling!" "This is such a pain..."

"No wonder I never felt satisfied, and always felt that the victory came too easily. Those so-called dueling masters were just empty names... So that's how it is!"

Having finally understood everything, Abydas III let out a long sigh: "So it's because everyone is afraid of me... that no one has ever truly fought me?"

"Your Majesty...you..."

He opened his mouth, but at this moment, Jaden Yuki didn't know what to say.

Having no sympathy for him, he couldn't think of anything to comfort Abidas III.

"Can't win, can only lose... What kind of legendary duelist is that!"

Wan Zhangmu glanced at him and let out a disdainful snort.

Even someone who hasn't changed in the past wouldn't stoop to using his power to oppress others!

"He has no real rivals... I always feel sorry for him."

Asuka shook her head slightly and shared her opinion.

Although it was not his own will, the young Abidas III was clearly inexperienced in all aspects and was blinded by the performance of others, having the wrong idea that "I might be very strong?"

This member of the royal family, who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, is, in a sense, quite tragic.

Throughout his long life, perhaps there was never a single person he could truly confide in...

"My king! Let me witness your full power!"

Judai Yuki clenched his right fist and pounded his chest, deciding to convey his true meaning in his own way. He then flashed a bright smile: "My turn is over. Now it's your turn!"

Regardless, the duel will continue.

Jaden Yuki also wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to see Abydas III's ultimate trump card.

"Are you... seriously challenging me to a duel?"

As he stood up, Abydas III's words were tinged with obvious excitement.

Like a child receiving a toy for the first time, this pharaoh, who had lived for countless years, began to feel a surge of emotions he had never experienced before.

"Of course!"
