Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Seeing Yusei's actions, everyone offered their own guesses.

Well, Yusei must have his reasons for doing this; we just need to watch quietly.

"Hehehehehe... Fool who defied fate, have you finally been stuck with your fate?"

A smug smile crept across his lips as Evil King Saiou swung his arm dramatically, drawing a card from the top of his deck: "Well then, it's my turn... My turn, draw!"

"Entering the main phase, I summon [Arcane Power 7 - Chariot] in attack stance (Attack Power: 1700)!"

The chariot, wielding tentacles, appeared on Saiō's field as he moved.

As it appeared, a constantly rotating card automatically appeared above its head.

Monsters with the power of the Mystic Ritual usually have the same attack and defense power, and that value is often based on 1000 plus a value of 100 points multiplied by its serial number.

战车的序列号是7，所以它的攻击力和防御力，也就是1000+100×7=1700的数值。

The serial number of [World] is 21, therefore its attack power is 3100 points.

"The monsters of 【Secret Power】 will gain different effects depending on whether they are upright or reversed... Generally speaking, this result is determined by the opponent."

Everyone: "..."

At this point, the King of the West deliberately paused for a moment.

After glancing at the speechless stares of the crowd, he smirked and continued in a smug tone, "But! Fate has already been decided! So... open your eyes wide and watch carefully! The card will stop spinning in its upright position, and the chariot will gain an advantageous upright position effect for me!"

Just as Saiō had predicted, the card on top of the chariot eventually came to rest in the correct position without any surprise.

Therefore, the effect of the Chariot has also become that after destroying an opponent's monster by battle, it can be Special Summoned to your field.

"Tch... Just like Edward back then?"

With a slight pursing of his lips, looking at this expected result, not only Yusei, but also Jaden Yuki, who was watching the battle, showed a gloomy expression.

The so-called upright and reverse positions are nothing more than a trick that Saiō deliberately used to tease his opponents!

Anyway, the outcome will be changed according to his own preferences, won't it?

When it's on your own field, it's a positive positional effect that's advantageous to you; but when it's moved to your opponent's field, it becomes mostly a negative, reversed positional effect.

Damn Light of Destruction, you still say you didn't cheat!

Do they really think we're all idiots?!

"Hehehehehe... Didn't I tell you? My monster will gain the effect of being in its correct position... Its destined fate will absolutely not change!"

His face, brimming with exaggerated expressions, showed no trace of shame.

After flashing a smug smile of "my plan is complete," Evil Saiou stretched out his arm and issued a new command to the monsters on the field: "[Arcane Power 7 - Chariot] (Attack: 1700) Attack [Summoner Aleister] (Attack: 1000), take this! Slime Cannon!!!"

652 The Chariot of God - Merkaba!

Under the command of the King of the Sea, the [Secret Power 7 - Chariot] (Attack Power: 1700) swung the cannons at the tips of its tentacles and aimed them at Aleister's location.

Under the watchful eye of the white-robed summoner, the slime cannon hurtled straight toward him, eyes wide open, about to stage a hilarious and absurd comedy about Arai's utter mishap.

"...Trap Card [Messenger of Peace] activated! My monsters cannot be destroyed by battle, and the damage they take this turn becomes 0."

Yusei pressed the button on the Duel Disk and flipped over the face-down card in the back row.

As the trap card was activated, three young ladies wearing blue cloaks appeared around Aleister, unfurling a pale blue crescent-shaped protective shield in front of him.

The tank's slime cannon struck the protective shield, was absorbed by it, and then vanished into nothingness.

"...Well done, Yusei! As long as the monster isn't destroyed in battle, the Minotaur effect of the Chariot can no longer be activated!"

Clenching his right fist, Jaden Yuki, watching Yusei's actions, couldn't help but let out an excited shout.

If it were him, he would probably summon Bubble Man and equip him with a bubble launcher.

Thanks to the destructive effect of the bubble launcher, he can still ensure that his monster is not destroyed, thus preventing it from being taken away by Saiō's chariot.

"Hehehehehe... Won't it be destroyed in battle? That's to be expected!"

"what?"

Despite his attack being thwarted, Evil King Saiō did not show much surprise on his face.

He glanced at Aleister, who was currently surrounded by young ladies on the field, still unharmed, and who was giving him a meaningful look, then let out a cold laugh: "Entering Main Phase 2, I activate the Spell Card [Foresight of Fate] from my hand!"

"...After the Battle Phase of this turn, if you fail to destroy your opponent's monster by battle, you may Special Summon one Level 4 or lower [Arcane Power] monster from your hand to your field!"

"Come forth! [Mystic Power 6 - Lovers] (Defense: 1600)!"

He slammed the card in his hand onto the Duel Disk, and the light representing the summoning of a monster lit up in front of him in the next instant.

The silhouette of a woman in a long, floor-length dress can be faintly seen.

"Hiss...lover?"

Upon hearing the name of the monster, Manjōmu raised an eyebrow and subconsciously looked at the dark figure on the altar.

Judging from the name, the monster that represents the "Lover" card should be the most visually appealing monster in the "Arcane Power" deck.

Hmm, what kind of monster will appear? It's really...exciting!

"Ding……"

With a soft hum, and under the intense gaze of Manjoume, a female monster dressed as an alien (or perhaps that) appeared in the light, her arms crossed, and crouched down beside the chariot.

Upon seeing the monster's appearance, Manjoume instinctively reached out and rubbed his eyes, his expression slowly turning towards despair.

Perhaps for the [Secret Ritual Power] formed by the convergence of aliens, the [Lover's] looks are top-tier, but for someone like Manjoume with normal aesthetic sense...

Well, all he wants to do right now is wash his titanium alloy eyes...

"Needless to say, [Arcane Power 6 - Lovers] will gain the effect of being in the correct position... My turn ends here."

The card above the lover's head came to rest in a favorable position for him.

As for the effect of this perfect position, Evil King simply smiled with his face full of exaggerated facial expressions and offered no explanation.

"I thought Yusei blocked Saiou's attack, but it seems that Saiou used this opportunity to Special Summon a new monster instead..."

Looking at the situation on the field, Marufuji Sho couldn't help but show a look of despair: "Can Saiou really see through other people's fates?"

"That's impossible!" Kenzan clenched his fist tightly, refuting Marufuji Sho's words. "I bet he's just bluffing!"

If this Saiou, who calls himself "the Will of the Light of Destruction," can really see through the future and decide the course of the duel, then there's no need for the duel to take place, since he'll win no matter what, right?

Since he didn't immediately agree to the duel but was forced to face off against Yusei, it means he doesn't have absolute control.

This situation is just a temporary stroke of good luck!

Lingduo & Prince Aujin: "..."

"My turn, draw a card!"

Reaching into his deck, Yusei drew a card, then pulled another from his hand and shoved it into the back row of his Duel Disk: "...Spell Card [Summoning Magic] activated! I fuse [Summoner Aleister] on the field with [Elemental HERO Prism] from my hand!"

"O gods summoned by ancient forbidden arts! Drive your chariots and protect the throne!"

"Fusion Summon, descend! Chariot of the Gods—[Summoned Beast Merkaba]!"

Within the blue magic circle, the Great Sage of the Codex raised his twin serpent staff, using the body of the Hero of Light as a medium, and performed an unparalleled summoning magic before everyone's eyes.

The presence of the Field Spell [Rampage Magic Circle] prevents Saiou from activating any card effects in response to this fusion.

However, he didn't have any cards to activate.

As Aleister moved, a dazzling blue magic circle slowly opened behind him, forming a gate connecting to another dimension.

After that, a pure white knight clad in heavy silver armor drove his chariot out of the enormous blue magic circle, carrying with him a magnificent, world-shaking light, and descended into this world as a god.

!【'

[Summoned Beast: Merkaba]

(Mechanical/Light/9-star/Attack: 2500/Defense: 2000)

effect:

Once per turn, when a monster's effect, spell, or trap card is activated, you can send 1 card of the same type (monster, spell, or trap) from your hand to the Graveyard to activate this effect. Negate that activation and banish it.

"...Ha, how dare it call itself a god? What a blind monster!"

The boiling spiritual light emanating from the chariot continuously scorched the body of the [Mystic Power] monster. Sensing the incomparably powerful chariot—[Summoned Beast Merkaba]—a look of annoyance flashed across Saiō's face.

A monster with a mere 2500 attack power is nothing more than the same kind of trash as that damned Neo-Universe Warrior. It can't even beat my [World], let alone the [Light Dominator]...

This level of power, you dare call yourself a god? Don't make me laugh!

"Battle has begun! [Summoned Beast - Merkaba] (Attack Power: 2500) attacks [Arcane Power 7 - Chariot] (Attack Power: 1700)!"

"...Ughhhhhh!!!"

(Zaiwang LP: 4000→3200)

With his longsword raised, Merkaba spurred the Chariot of God to charge straight ahead, crushing the body of [Mystic Power 7 - Chariot] while simultaneously swinging his sword to send the body of the Evil Prince flying into the distance.

After doing all this, he drove the chariot back to its original position.

"End of round."

"...How is it? The will of the Light of Annihilation? Are you satisfied now?"

Raising his head, Yusei looked at the evil Saiou who had been knocked away and was now getting up from the ground with an angry expression. He stretched out his arm and asked in a teasing tone.

"...Hey! Don't get too cocky!"

Wiping his mouth, the King of the Light, who had been sent flying by the light chariot, steered his body back to where he had been standing.

What embarrassed him more than the physical injuries was the reality of being hit like a ball.
