Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

In this way, three powerful high-level monsters with different effects, namely Phoenix Man of Destruction, Galactic Giant, and Hope Dragona, now stand in front of Yusei!

"【NO.38 Hopeful Galactic Giant】has the ability to negate the activation of a Spell Card once per turn and use it as its own material; 【Destiny HERO - Phoenix of Destruction】can destroy cards on the field each turn without targeting, and even 【NO.99 Hopeful Emperor Dragona】, which has already activated its effect, now has the ability to reduce the ATK of any monster attacked by the opponent to 0 once per turn..."

Explaining the effects of the three pillars in front of him, Yusei turned his gaze to Franz opposite him: "Alright! Let me see your Winged Dragon of Ra and that legendary [Divine Flame Cannon]! Of course... the prerequisite is that you can summon it."

Unlike the God Cards after their OCG adaptation, the Winged Dragon of Ra in Franz's hand has the same effects as those in the anime.

When not in use, the card of The Sun of God Dragon only displays the monster's image and the card name "The Sun of God Dragon".

As for attack power and defense power, both are question marks, and the effect bar will also be blank.

When summoned to the field, the previously blank space will be filled with "ancient Egyptian priestly script" that is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Depending on their condition, these ancient priestly scripts would also change accordingly.

The seahorse once deciphered the "ancient priestly script" inscribed on the card, which meant:

The sun god would combine with three sacrificial animals and gain their power, but the god would only obey those who offered ancient incantations to the heavens.

[God will rise from the earth, the regeneration technique bestowed by the life of the manipulator; at that time, they will merge into one, and enemies on the battlefield will turn into corpses in the flames.]

When the time comes, the god will transform into a phoenix, and the chosen monster will slumber in the earth.

581 It's not a monster, it's Kami!

God obeys only those who offer ancient incantations to the heavens.

If one could pronounce the words that appear on the card like Malik or Pharaoh Atem did in the past, then one could directly gain control of the Winged Dragon of the Sun.

Kaiba's past life was that of Set, the priest who succeeded Atem as Pharaoh, which is why he and Yugi Muto could both understand the text on the God Cards.

There is nothing wrong with this.

However, Yusei and even Franz clearly do not possess this quality.

In their eyes, the text displayed on the Winged Dragon of Ra card, which is a God Card, would only be like tadpole script on various stone tablets, and they would not be able to understand its specific meaning at all.

Therefore, in this duel, there will be no awkward situation where the control of the Winged Dragon of Ra keeps switching back and forth between the two sides.

……

"...Hmph! I have to admit, I really misjudged him this time."

"Since my opponent is a student from the Duel Academy, I didn't take you seriously at first..."

Adjusting his glasses, Franz, recovering from his shock, squinted at Yusei across from him after a moment of silence: "...Hope Dragon, Hope Dragona, Destruction Phoenix...these powerful terminal monsters, with their combined effects of card-bombing, spell-sealing, and counter-attacking against monster attacks, can indeed have a significant impact on me."

"...If I hadn't been prepared in advance, I might have really messed up here!"

Just a moment ago, Franz had an expression of not knowing what to do.

However, his mindset gradually stabilized soon afterward.

This change was clearly not because he had accepted his defeat, but because he saw the card he had just drawn.

It was only after seeing this card that Franz's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

"It seems that this time, the God of Duel is on my side."

"...Huh? What do you mean?"

As Franz fiddled with the card in his hand, a pleased smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

Hearing Franz's speech, which was clearly full of some deeper meaning, Yusei suddenly had a bad feeling.

At that moment, he realized something.

That is, the number of monsters he has on the field right now seems to be in a very dangerous situation...

Three monsters, which just meet the conditions for one of the monsters to appear.

However, it's unlikely to be such a coincidence, right?

"Hehehehehehehehe... Watch closely, this is the power of God!"

"...Sleeping Camille (God)! Reveal your form to the foolish world! Let those who dare to oppose you realize how foolish their actions are!"

With a sinister laugh like that of a Soul Hall elder, Franz then threw the card he was holding between his fingers like a dart directly at Yusei's location.

Then, he raised his head and looked up at the sky, raising his arms high while revealing a fanatical smile on his face.

"...I will sacrifice three monsters on your field to temporarily bestow this card upon you!"

"Superior summons! Come forth! [Winged Dragon of the Sun - Spherical Form]!!!"

Yusei: "What...?!"

Everyone: "...!!!"

When Yusei received the card "Winged Dragon of the Sun - Sphere", the three powerful terminal monsters that were originally on Yusei's field twisted and dissipated like glare in the next instant.

The sky was covered by dark clouds, and dense lightning rapidly gathered above everyone's heads.

As Franz called out, a huge golden egg-shaped object immediately descended from the sky, replacing the three monsters that had been standing there, and floated in front of Yusei.

【Winged Dragon of Ra - Spherical】

(Phantom Beast Race / 10 Stars / Attack: ? / Defense: ?)

Effect: This card cannot be Special Summoned.

When this card is Normal Summoned, it must be Tributed to 3 monsters on your field to Summon it, or Tributed to 3 monsters on your opponent's field to Summon it. Control of this card reverts to its original owner during the End Phase of the next turn.

①: This card cannot attack and cannot be the target of the opponent's attacks or effects.

②: You can activate this effect by Tributing this card. Special Summon 1 "Ragnaros the Sun Dragon" from your hand or Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions and increasing its ATK and DEF to 4000.

-

The ominous premonition came true, and at that moment, Yusei couldn't help but cover his cheek with his hand and let out a long sigh.

【Sea Turtle Kaiju - Gamesiale】, 【Lava Demon God】, 【Sun God Winged Dragon - Spherical】.

These are the true "Three Egyptian God Cards" that exist in the OCG environment and are widely known among duelists. They each have the effect of releasing one, two, or three monsters on the opponent's field, thereby Summoning or Special Summoning themselves to the opponent's field.

The common characteristic of these three monsters is that they are very suitable for clearing the field.

Whether it's the invincible True Dragon Sword Emperor, the Red Father who doesn't choose his target, or a powerful terminal like the IP Twin Sky, none of them can escape the fate of being forcibly liberated.

From an outsider's perspective, all you see is a powerful monster on the field suddenly turning into a goofy turtle, or a useless egg...

Since liberation does not require activation, in most cases, duelists who have been outmaneuvered by the Turtle Transformation Technique are simply unable to mount an effective countermeasure.

As the true god radiating golden light—the Winged Dragon of Ra—appeared on his field, the fear of being dominated by the Winged Dragon Egg when he used Hope to create the largest field in the past resurfaced in Yusei's mind, causing the corner of his mouth to twitch involuntarily...

What you fear most is what happens...

It's a complete loss of three for one, so they're going to perform an egg-changing trick on the spot!

"...Although my monster has been released, in return, you can no longer perform normal summons."

Since the egg-turning outcome has already occurred, any attempt to reverse it is futile.

Instead of lamenting past miscalculations, we should focus on what happens next.

With that thought in mind, Yusei shook his head and looked at Franz, who was looking smug, opposite him: "...Next round will be your death day!"

"Indeed, I can't perform a normal summon the turn I summon [Winged Dragon of the Sun - Sphere]... But that's not a problem at all!"

Franz, swinging his arms and quite satisfied with the current situation on the field, pulled out a spell card from his hand and activated it: "...Spell Card [Owner's Mark] activated! According to this card's effect, control of all monsters on the field will return to their owners!"

Youxing: “…”

According to the duel rules, the [Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere] currently on Yusei's field is a monster whose control has been transferred, and it will temporarily remain on Yusei's field for one turn.

Under the effect of [Owner's Mark], control of all monsters on the field will return to their original controller.

In other words, Franz's actions were equivalent to retrieving the Winged God Egg ahead of time, thus avoiding various possible accidents.

Without even waiting a turn, he achieved the feat of eliminating Yusei's final move and summoning a god on his own field, truly making a huge profit...

"In this instant, control of the [Winged Dragon of the Sun God - Sphere] has returned to my hands!"

Raising one of his arms, Franz immediately waved his hand, activating the effect of the monster in front of him: "...Activate the second effect of [Ragnaros the Rising Sun - Sphere]! I Tribute this monster, thereby Special Summoning 1 'Ragnaros the Rising Sun' from my hand or Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions, and increasing its ATK and DEF to 4000!"

Everyone: "Unconditional...Special Summon?!"

Franz: "Hehehehehehehe... Descend! Even among the three Egyptian Gods, the sun god possesses the strongest power—[The Winged Dragon of the Sun]!!!"

Just like the Imperial Key that had previously stretched out as the prototype of Hope, the golden giant egg also gradually disintegrated in mid-air with Franz's shout, revealing the true face of the god hidden within.

Its curled-up body stretched out wildly, and together with its golden wings, it blocked everyone's view.

With flames of divine wrath dancing in its blood-red eyes, the fully-formed Winged Dragon of Ra, radiating an unprecedentedly strong presence, revealed its true form before everyone's eyes amidst the continuous roar of thunder.
