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

Hyoga certainly has Exodia cards on him.

And perhaps because of the contract between Hyoga and Exodia, he has quite a few "body parts" on his body!

Moreover, these "body parts" were not found for him by Pegasus at Hyoga's request, but were drawn from card packs in different countries when Hyoga was traveling around the world with Pegasus some time ago.

To cultivate his "luck," Hyoga frequently draws card packs.

This is the simplest way to check your luck.

Despite the fact that Pegasus controlled very few "body parts", Hyoga managed to collect three sets of "sealed" cards simply by drawing card packs.

It's hard to say whether this is good luck or bad luck.

Of course, Hyoga's deck will only contain one set of "Body Parts" at most, otherwise he'll clog his hand!

Even if you only have one deck, there are still many cards in the Glacier deck that can be used for filtering draws.

Just like the [Level Remnant Wall], in addition to summoning corpse parts, it can also summon a large number of materials to be used as sacrifices for God Cards.

It's worth mentioning that this card was created by Hyoga with the help of Pegasus Night Walk.

It seems he also used this card to leave offerings for the Three Evil Gods.

[The sealed person's left hand, defense 0]

[The sealed Exodia, Defense 0]

Although he summoned the two corpses, Hyoga certainly wouldn't infuse them with soul power.

It's a complete shield.

When Eczodia saw his left hand and his large head appear on Hyoga's field in monster defense mode, he didn't know whether it was because of coughing or anger, but his large head immediately went into red-temperature mode.

"Kisama!"

Hyoga looked at Exodia with a smile. "Your Excellency, why are you angry? I kept my promise and included your card in my deck for the battle. This is my way of upholding our contract!"

Upon hearing Hyoga's words, Eczodia could no longer restrain herself and transformed into a ball of dark power, rushing towards Hyoga.

However, he couldn't even touch Hyoga's body; he was immediately dispersed by the expert rules hidden around Hyoga's body as soon as he crossed the halfway point.

Even if you are Eczodia, you cannot influence the dueling ceremony.

But to Hyoga's surprise, a wisp of that dark power still managed to break through the rules and fall onto his [Sealed Eczodia] through an unknown loophole.

Then, the giant head on the glacier surface turned around on its own, "Kisama!"

I rely on!

"Ah!" Hyoga exclaimed in surprise. "How did you get here, sir? Why don't you turn around first? You're scaring us!"

Hyoga's words carried a performative, ingratiating quality.

Eczodia didn't want to agree, but Hyoga forced her to turn back using the duel rules and even muted her microphone!

This is normal operation.

Hyoga patted his chest, then looked back at Shadi. "Alright! Shadi, continue your operation. I'm waiting for you to bounce my monster back into your hand!"

Flick? Flick my ass!

Even Xia Di, who has always been very well-mannered, now really wants to swear!

Who would dare to bounce multiple pieces of corpses back to their hand when they exist on the opponent's field?

I wouldn't even dare to call him grandpa!

But Shadi still activated the Sphinx effect, overshadowing him.

Then the [Fanbing Stone Man] in his hand was also covered from the inside, and the turn ended.

【The Stone Golem】is also of the Earth attribute. When it is successfully summoned in reverse, the burn effect of 【Guardian God Ekuzodo】 will also be activated.

But how could Hyoga possibly allow him to successfully summon it?

"My turn, draw a card!"

Hyoga looked at the beginner's cards, his expression becoming even stranger.

It's not a giant machine, but it might be even more interesting.

"I've placed a monster on my inner flank," Hyoga said, placing the monster and unleashing his full power. "Blue-Eyes White Dragon, attack that poor little monster!"

"A destructive burst of white light!"

Your guardian angel can't protect anything!

Enraged, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon opened its enormous mouth and unleashed a destructive white light that utterly annihilated the monsters it covered.

[Stone Golem, Defense Strength 0]

As expected, Xia Di did not infuse him with soul power.

So this must be a bug in the dimensional rules!

You can control the stats of your monsters to prevent your LP from being affected when a monster destroys it.

Using cards like "swarm tactics" to constantly pull out monsters as shields would be too boring.

These are indeed outdated dueling rules.

Just like Shadi, it's long outdated.

"My turn is over!" Hyoga looked at Shadi. "Shadi, now it's your turn to choose. Should you use Sphinx's effect to bounce all my monsters back to your hand?"

Shadi drew a card, which was a [Moai Statue Interceptor] that could also automatically cover its inner side.

However, it has no use now.

Just as the glacier said, now is the time to make a choice!

Finally, Shadi ended his turn after covering the monster again.

He did not reverse the summoning of the Sphinx.

Seeing this, Hyoga's expression became very calm, and he uttered the comment, "Coward!"

Regardless, Hyoga, who has more monsters on the field, has the advantage.

However, the opponent not only allowed Glacier's advantage to continue because of fear of Eczodia's effect, but also gave up the blood-burning effect that could have won him the game.

They completely handed over control of the game to Hyoga.

As expected, Shadi is not the kind of duelist who should strive for advancement!

Hyoga suddenly remembered the evaluation he had given Shadi at the very beginning of the duel.

—Nonviolent noncooperation

They're exactly the same!

Soul power surged violently around the glacier.

Since his opponent has given up on using "skill" and his "momentum" is no match for his own, Hyoga has absolutely no chance of losing in terms of "luck".

"My turn, draw a card!"

With a flash of golden light, Hyoga slammed the card directly onto the Duel Disk.

"Spell Card, 'Heavenly Treasure Card' activated! Both players draw six cards from their hands!"

Six cards appeared in Ice River's hand.

"It's here!" Hyoga showed one of the cards to Shady. "Obelisk is now in my hands!"

Even without being summoned, the power of the God Card, even from a great distance, had already caused Shadi to lose his fighting spirit.

Hyoga will win if he can summon the Titans and kill the Sphinx with a single punch.

"But a victory like that would be so boring!" Hyoga suddenly said. "Obelisk probably wouldn't even bother to show his face against someone like you!"

"Then that's perfect. Lord Eczodia, you always say I don't keep my contract to summon you, so let me do it this time!"

Eczodia's control was released, and the large head now looked at Hyoga in disbelief.

But Hyoga ignored him and looked at Shadi instead, "Shadi, you're not going to play my card, are you? Fine, I'll do it myself!"

Hyoga shouted at his last face-down monster, "Flip Summon, 'Penguin Soldier'! Reflect up to two monsters back to their owners' hands based on its effect!"

"I will bounce the two sealed monsters back into my hand!"

"Aaaaaah!" Eczadia screamed as Hyoga took back his hand along with his left hand.

Actually, with this [Penguin Soldier], Hyoga could also bounce Ekuzodo and Sphinx from Shadi's field back to his hand, letting him experience that feeling, and finally win by attacking directly.

But such a victory is meaningless.

It's not soulful at all!

I don't need a victory that doesn't sway my soul!

Soul player Hyoga recalled the two monsters on the field and then played a spell card.

"Spell Card 'Dark Factory' activated! I retrieve the two Normal Monsters that I initially sent to the Graveyard with 'Angel's Charity' back into my hand!"

Naturally, these are the sealed left and right feet.

And the last card, the right one, has already been added to Hyoga's hand thanks to the [Heavenly Treasure Card].

"Come out, Ecuzodia!"

Endless dark power emanated from the five cards gathered in Hyoga's hand.

An inverted pentagram magic circle appears!

Ecuzodia, descend!
