Yu-Gi-Oh!: From Casual Gamer to Soulful Player

After a series of confirmations, Glacier did indeed find out why the expert rules were approved.

It wasn't because of the Pegasus Moonwalk, but because of Hyoga himself.

Because the expert rules were passed precisely after Hyoga obtained the Titan weapon from Isis.

So the change was made through the power of the Colossus?

It seems that Kaiba changed the battle rules when Duel City was launched after he obtained the Giant Warrior.

So, can the God Cards also affect the rules of the dimension itself?

Ah, this truly makes him worthy of being called a god!

The Titan seemed to sense Hyoga's newfound respect for him, and a "humph" rang in Hyoga's ear... which startled Hyoga.

Oh wait, is the Colossus also a tsundere? That's a bit much!

Hyoga quickly shifted his attention back to the expert rules to avoid being detected by the Titans and getting a few more "humphs".

That glacier could really make you deaf.

Although these new dueling rules have been adopted at the dimensional level, their influence is currently limited to the realm of Hyoga's own creations.

That is, the Duel Disk.

Pegasus spread his dueling rules across the entire dimension by creating Duel Monster cards.

Hyoga wanted to do the same thing, but since he couldn't rely on newly created cards, he could only rely on the Duel Disk he developed.

Uh, it seems that's something seahorses have done too.

Hyoga felt like he had stolen a lot of Kaiba's screen time without doing it on purpose!

Now he not only has the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, but also the Titans, which has truly stolen his luck.

Remembering that Kaiba had once canceled a duel in the name of the organizer, Hyoga felt that once his Expert Rules were disseminated, he should be able to do the same thing.

It's starting to have a fantastical feel to it.

"Wow! Yuexing, your 'Skill' and 'Momentum' star levels have both increased!"

Hyoga, who had just finished thinking, heard the shouts and commotion of the duelists on the other side.

On a large screen over there, a picture of a celestial horse and a moon was being displayed, next to three scores.

Duelist: Pegasus Moonwalker

[Soul Abilities: Power 6, Skill 7, Luck 5]

This is an analysis of the duelist's "Soul" ability bias, obtained by collecting combat data after the duelists have fought using the Duel Disk.

As a soul warrior from another dimension, Hyoga, after conducting detailed research on souls, discovered that the souls of different duelists have a bias towards three different abilities.

In other words, it's about "momentum," "skill," and "luck"!

"Momentum" naturally refers to strong offensive capabilities. Duelists with high star ratings in this area tend to favor aggressive decks, and their cards generally have high stats.

"Technique" refers to the special application of various effects. Duelists with high skill levels often enjoy using various Spell & Trap and Monster effects to make it impossible for their opponents to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

"Luck" refers to exceptionally high luck. This duelist, with a high-level ability and a full hand of 502, can easily draw the cards he wants, making drawing cards a regular occurrence for him. He can even print cards directly during battle without difficulty.

Of course, these three abilities complement each other, but it doesn't mean that if you focus on one, you don't need to train the others.

If all three abilities have very high star ratings, then it will naturally be even more powerful.

Take Seto Kaiba for example. Although he is definitely the strongest in terms of "momentum," his "skill" and "luck" are certainly not weak either.

Within the city, those with superior luck naturally prevailed... conquering the world with just two dice, infuriating countless people.

As for the Pharaohs... they were all very strong, it's hard to say which one was weak.

However, as Hyoga watched, he suddenly had another realization.

It seems that these three abilities also correspond to the three Phantom Gods.

The "momentum" of the Colossus!

The Winged Rathalos's "Techniques"!

The Sky Dragon's "Luck"!

The Pharaoh was able to control them all at the same time, which is why all three abilities were equally powerful.

This pattern can even be traced back to the later GX era...

Hyoga's favorite protagonist, Jaden, has always been at the Red Academy. Need I say more about Jaden's incredible luck?

The fighting styles of the leading figures from the Blue Academy, such as Kaiser Ryo, and the Yellow Academy, such as Yotsuten Tenku, are consistent with the abilities represented by their respective academies.

Even after Manjoume was transferred from Blue Academy to Red Academy, he started relying on the good luck brought by the spirits to play cards...

Is this just a coincidence?

With that thought in mind, Hyoga walked over to the computer and began to operate it.

The operation that Glacier needs to do is very simple: just change the color of the stars that indicate the three ability levels.

The star representing "momentum" turned blue.

The star representing "skill" turns yellow.

The star representing "luck" turns magenta.

These are also the colors of the cards featuring the Egyptian God cards.

That's right, the colors of Camille in the Egyptian God Card game are not simply red, yellow, and blue, but magenta, yellow, and cyan.

These are the three primary colors of pigments.

When Pegasus created these three God Cards, he painted the card art of the three Egyptian Gods using oil painting techniques.

To represent the significance of the Egyptian God Cards as the three pillars of Duel Monsters, Pegasus used the three primary colors of pigment to represent the colors of the Egyptian God Cards.

Well, thank goodness Pegasus didn't use a mummy-shaped rice dumpling, or he would have made a fool of himself!

When the three primary colors of light shine on each other, they converge to form white.

As the three primary colors of pigment are mixed more and more, they eventually turn into black!

No one else understood why Hyoga had changed the colors of the stars, but they all felt that these were the colors they were meant to be.

"Moonwalker, give me your Duel Disk!" Hyoga said to Pegasus Moonwalker after finishing the operation.

Pegasus Moonwalker also respected Hyoga, and handed over the Duel Disk without hesitation.

So everyone saw that the Duel Disk, under Hyoga's control, changed from its basic white color to the same yellow as the "Technique" Star.

"Everyone, if any of your skills reach 7 stars in the future, you can come to me and I will change the color of your Duel Disk."

"Furthermore, I hope that one of you can achieve a level 7+ in all three abilities. This way, your Duel Disk will be black, and you'll receive the title of 'Card Expert' certified by me and President Pegasus!"

What is most important to duelists, and indeed to players of all competitive games?

While prize money is important, an honor or a title is what truly proves their abilities to them.

So let alone others, even the most composed Pegasus Moonwalker's breathing quickened after hearing Hyoga's words.

They all want to become "card experts"!

So, the people who were resting all ran back onto the stage.

Come on! Let's duel!

Upon seeing this, Hyoga couldn't stop smiling.

However, when Hyoga turned his head, he saw Pegasus Yagyō still looking at Pegasus Gekkō's yellow Duel Disk with envy.

He also wants to become a powerful duelist!

Hyoga called out to him, "Night Walk, let's go! A big job awaits us! It might take a long time to figure it out!"

Pegasus Night Walk suddenly snapped out of his daze and caught up with Hyoga. "Lord Hyoga, what new idea do you have this time?"

In terms of creating new cards, Tenma Yagyō has completely admired Hyōga.

"It's not exactly a new idea, but rather an in-depth study of an existing card!"

Hyoga pulled the blue card from his deck. "It's this Obelisk the Tormentor!"

That's... the God Card!!

The Night Horse was utterly shocked!
