Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Effect: Each of the card's ① and ③ effects can be used once in a duel.

①: If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can activate this effect. During the End Phase of this turn, add 1 "HERO" monster from your Graveyard to your hand.

②: A level 6 or higher opponent's monster cannot target this card for an attack.

③: When this card is in your Graveyard, and the effect of a Spell/Trap/Monster that caused you damage is activated, activate this effect. Return this card to your hand, and the damage you took from that effect becomes 0.

-

"The effect of [Destiny HERO - Determined One] is activated: During the End Phase of this turn, add 1 'HERO' monster from your Graveyard to your hand."

"The one I chose was naturally the [Hero of Destiny - Dynamite] that I had previously sent to the cemetery."

Yusei tapped his Duel Disk. Under Saiou's gaze, he made no further moves. He simply extended his hand and, as he entered the battle phase, issued an attack command to his monster: "[Destiny HERO Drillman] (ATK: 1600) Attacks [Satellite Base] (DEF: 1000)!"

"Ha! The [Satellite Base] will not be destroyed in battle when fighting monsters of level 5 or lower!"

As Yusei's monster charged towards him, Prince Okin immediately let out a cold laugh: "Furthermore, a monster in Defense Position cannot inflict battle damage on me! Yusei, your actions are completely meaningless!"

"Solvador Kana (Is that really the case?)!"

"...What?!"

"【Destiny HERO - Drillman】When attacking a monster in Defense Position, you can inflict battle damage on the opponent by a value that exceeds the monster's Defense."

Pointing to Prince Auchindoun's location, Yusei continued, "In other words, even in defense mode, the damage you're supposed to take is still unavoidable!"

"Gulp! But... even so, it's only a mere 600 points of damage! It's nothing to worry about..."

"Really? So what?"

Seeing that Prince Auchin seemed to still want to struggle, Yusei smiled faintly and sent a card from his hand to the graveyard: "At the moment that [Destiny HERO - Drillman] attacks, I discard [Elemental HERO - True Neos] from my hand and activate its effect, increasing [Destiny HERO - Drillman]'s attack power by 2500 points!"

(【Destiny Hero - Drill Man】Attack Power: 1600→4100)

With colorful wings sprouting from his back, [Destiny Hero - Drill Man]'s attack power instantly reached a terrifying 4100 points under Cheng Ge's blessing.

Compared to the [Satellite Cannon] which had received two rounds of buffs in the previous round, its attack power is even greater!

"Attack power... 4100?!"

With the added benefit of the True Universe Hero effect, the Drill Man's body was covered with a layer of golden light as he spread his wings.

Upon seeing this, Prince Auchin could no longer conceal his inner turmoil, and an uncontrollable look of shock appeared in his eyes.

Meanwhile, the drillers' attack had already reached the location of the [Satellite Base].

The defense of the [Satellite Base] is 1000, while the attack power of the [Destiny Hero - Drill Man], which has been buffed, has reached an extremely terrifying 4100 points!

The difference between the two is 3100. Under the Drill Man's penetration effect, Prince Auchin's monster was destroyed without any resistance. He himself also suffered 3100 points of damage from the difference in attack power between the two monsters, and his life points dropped to -100 in an instant, losing the duel.

(Prince Aukin LP: 0)

"I won! What a pleasant duel!"

After winning the duel, Yusei immediately half-closed his eyes and extended his right hand towards Prince Okin, his mocking expression clearly conveying a sense of smugness.

Secretary: "Prince Aukin... he actually lost?"

Saiou: "Huh... Has Yusei already taken control of the Hero of Destiny?"

"……I lost."

Unable to truly grasp the meaning of his defeat, Prince Auchin's pupils began to dilate uncontrollably.

Instead of defeating his opponent in one round, he was killed on this deserted island in the middle of the ocean by a student much younger than him...

After shaking his head, Prince Auchin finally accepted the somewhat absurd result in his opinion.

"I lost this duel..."

With a slight twitch of his lips, Prince Okin walked up to Yusei and handed him the badge: "I was careless this time, but next time, things won't be so easy!"

"Yes, I look forward to the next duel."

Yusei politely accepted the badge from Prince Aujin.

Upon seeing that Prince Auchin had lost his competition badge, his secretary couldn't help but ask curiously, "Prince... are we going back now?"

Since they no longer have badges, they naturally lose their eligibility to participate in the dueling tournament.

I had barely gotten off the plane when I was forced to return at lightning speed.

Speechless, the secretary couldn't help but ask the prince about his plans.

"Are you kidding me? When did I say I was leaving?"

Naturally, Prince Auchin refused, saying, "I am not leaving here until I have faced off against the man with the D card! No one can change that!"

"prince……"

"Then, I invite the prince to duel with me."

Seizing this opportune moment, King Jai stepped forward and approached Prince Aukin: "I also want to personally experience the power of killing."

"Heh... Interesting! Since I agreed earlier, I won't stand on ceremony!"

Prince Auchindo, having suffered a defeat in his first battle and now determined to get revenge, raised his duel disk once more and prepared for another duel.

This time, his opponent is Saiou of the Society of Light.

"...Duel!"

"Duel."

(Prince Aukin LP: 4000)

(Zaiwang LP: 4000)

"I'll still go first, no objections, right?"

"up to you."

"Hmph! My turn, draw a card!"

As always, without shuffling the deck, Prince Auchindoun once again replicated the previous six-for-one maneuver, successfully pulling out a [Satellite Cannon] with 4000 attack power through a large amount of resource consumption.

Furthermore, under the effect of [Time Goddess's Mischief], he has now entered the battle phase once again.

Prince Auchin gave the order to attack, as the field was completely empty.

As fate would have it, Saiō, whose fate was not yet sealed, activated the effect of [Secret Power 14 - Temperance] in his hand the instant he was attacked. By discarding it from his hand, he reduced the damage caused by [Satellite Cannon] to 0.

Prince Auchin was once again completely bewildered, and his mentality exploded for the second time.

After dazedly summoning [Satellite Base] to the field in defense position, he intended to end his turn just like that.

However, at the very moment he summoned the monster, the effect of the magic card in Saiou's hand was also triggered.

By placing the Spell Card "Destiny's Enchanter" from his hand into the Graveyard, Saiou gained an opportunity to activate a Spell Card during the turn of the Prince of Orochi.

Having foreseen Prince Auchin's fate, the Prince activated the magic card [Sword X], which was destined to benefit him, destroying the [Satellite Cannon] in space and inflicting effect damage on Prince Auchin equal to its attack power, which is 4000 points!

Compared to the previous battle with Yuxing, this time Prince Ojin was defeated much more quickly.

Destroyed by his own power, Prince Auchin met his defeat at the hands of the Jai King.

Having lost to Saiō, he was naturally influenced by the Light of Destruction and became Saiō's follower...

Like the previous victims, he was affected by the light of destruction and went against his own will, becoming a loyal lackey of Saiou, just like Manjoume.

Furthermore, he also planned to give everything he owned to King Jai.

Ignoring the secretary's advice, "Prince Aukin! This concerns our country and the fate of the world. We cannot easily hand it over to others..." Prince Aukin insisted on using the key to unlock the box and snatched the briefcase, which belonged to the Serpent God Kingdom and contained a device that could control the "Sura" satellite cannon, from the secretary's hand. He then respectfully handed it to the King of the West.

As he received the box, feeling the power, a smug smile unconsciously appeared on Saiō's face.

In this way, having control of the satellite cannon meant he essentially possessed the ability to destroy the world at any time.

After giving Yusei and the others a meaningful look, Saiou, having achieved his goal, led everyone back to the Society of Light, just as he had come.

Be careful, around 578, the Winged Dragon.

The three Egyptian Gods are the red [Sky Dragon of Osiris], the blue [Obelisk the Tormentor], and the most powerful yellow [Winged Dragon of Ra].

In the world of Duel Monsters, these three high-ranking monsters of the Divine Beast race hold a very important and prestigious position.

Once they are gathered on the field, they can summon the only god in the Yu-Gi-Oh! world—the God of Light, the creator of light—and thus unconditionally win the duel.

Originally, as the nameless Pharaoh regained his memories and true name, and returned to the underworld after a duel with another version of himself, the God Cards, along with the seven Millennium Items, disappeared from everyone's lives along with the Pharaoh.

However, while possessing immense power, these cards also place certain demands on the user.

Those who attempt to forcibly wield this power without the approval of the God Card will anger the gods and suffer irresistible divine punishment!

The only known instance is that Kaiba's president pulled the Titan from under the floor with his bare hands, thus regaining control of one of the Egyptian God Cards.

The other two gods, however, remain nowhere to be found.

Originally, these monsters of the Illusionary Beast Clan had become legends, gradually fading from everyone's sight.

But today, right here in this Duel Academy, the second god has revealed his imposing figure, which surpasses that of ordinary monsters, without any concealment.

The Camille who appeared was the strongest of the three Egyptian Gods, the strongest Egyptian God based on the Egyptian sun god Ra—the Winged Dragon of the Sun God!

……

"Speaking of which, I've been searching for ages... why is no one willing to duel with me? I can't refuse the first challenger, but what's with running away at lightning speed when they see me? Am I some kind of monster? They don't even bother to try, what if they win?"

"Uh... Yusei, do you really think there's a chance this might happen?"

"..."

On a new day, on the island where Duel Academy is located, a new round of badge battles has begun as the challenge cooldown has been refreshed.

Having learned his lesson from yesterday's pursuit, Marufuji Sho decisively joined Kenzan and followed Yusei and Yuki Jaden.

Because these two, especially Yusei, had such terrifying reputations in the Duel Academy, even though Marufuji Sho was just a free experience booster who was using their power to gain influence, not many people dared to challenge them.

Who knows, after defeating Marufuji Sho, he might be intercepted by Yusei or Yuki Jaden, and given a mixed beating by heroes, thus losing his eligibility to participate in the competition...

"Strange? Why did the sky suddenly darken?"

"Hmm? Is it going to rain?"

"No! That's... a Duel Monster?!"
