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

"Astrological summoning? Isn't that just ritual summoning?"

When the glacier forcibly descended into this dimension through the dimensional gate, there was no resistance from the expected dimensional consciousness, and the energy was extremely thin.

Throughout this entire dimension, let alone monsters of 6 stars or higher, even 3-star monsters are extremely rare, and only 1-star monsters can still be seen.

Therefore, not only does it not need the help of the Giant God Soldier, but Hyoga can sweep away a large area simply by summoning the Demon Lizard Yihao.

After searching around, Hyoga found a magician who was taking care of a 1-star monster called "Offering for the Ritual," and learned about the history of this dimension from the trembling voice of the magician.

Hyoga felt that the so-called "astrologers" and magicians in this world were really courting death.

Especially those astrologers who borrow energy from the future, who can almost exhaust the energy of a medium-sized dimension, one can imagine how many times they have made summonings in the past.

"The master is right!"

After confirming that Hyoga had no intention of killing him, the astrologer who had been captured by Hyoga grew bolder. "Those heretics are the culprits behind this world's impending destruction. Because of them, our offering and taming plan has failed until now."

Astrologers aren't monsters; they're more like human-like life forms in this world. But none of them are Soul Warriors, and they don't have the ability to duel.

It seems that the consciousness of this dimension originally had a very planned goal of advancing to a large dimension.

Unfortunately, it didn't work.

Upon hearing the astrologer's words, Hyoga didn't agree much. "Forget it! You guys are pretty useless. Your paths sound pretty good, so how come you haven't succeeded yet?"

The astrologer was speechless.

If he had known, wouldn't they have succeeded long ago?

Hyoga shook his head, casually hooked his hand, and caught the [ritual offering] in his hand amidst its startled cry.

After scanning, he released it, and a card appeared in Hyoga's hand.

[Ritual Offering, 1 star, Dark]

[Demon Race/Effect, 300/300]

[Effect: To Special Summon a Level 4 or lower DARK Ritual Monster, you can use 1 of this card as a Tribute for its Ritual Summon.]

Looking at the card's effect, Hyoga felt something was off.

He felt that he had seen this card before he traveled back in time, but did the effect at that time limit it to 4 stars or below?

After investigating further, Hyoga understood what was going on!

This is still a limitation of the dimension!

Although Ritual Summoning is considered a Special Summon, it is a Special Summon that does not form a chain. However, the card art for all Ritual Monsters does not state that they are Special Summoned, but rather that they are summoned by borrowing a Ritual Spell Card.

This arrival is the key.

In other words, ritual monsters use the bodies of the sacrifices summoned in the ritual to carry their power, thus appearing in this dimension.

Star rating is key.

If one wants to use the "ritual offering" directly as a ritual sacrifice, then its own body needs to be able to bear the powerful strength of the ritual monster.

However, ritual offerings nurtured with energy from a mid-dimensional dimension cannot meet this standard at all.

Six stars is still the theoretical limit of this dimension.

Even now, this limit has dropped to 4 stars.

Therefore, some of the criticisms Binghe just made were somewhat of a case of speaking from a position of privilege.

However, for Hyoga, it would be very simple if he wanted to remove the star rating restriction from the [ritual offerings].

Once again, the little bird demon that had run away was sucked into its hand, and an energy that the astrologer perceived as exceptionally terrifying was injected into its body.

And so this little bird demon... exploded!

But when the smoke cleared, the little bird demon still remained in Hyoga's hands. However, the star rating restrictions on its card had all disappeared.

Because Glacier had just forcibly replaced all the energy in the little bird demon's body with energy from the material dimension, expelling all of its own energy, it was the "explosion" that was manifested just now.

Glacier feels pretty good; I've got another new card.

Hyoga then tossed the little bird demon to the dumbfounded astrologer, saying, "Take it, and use it to help your own dimension readjust its energy!"

The astrologer sensed the change in the ritual offering and looked at it with burning passion.

However, the astrologer then knelt down before the glacier.

According to the rules of this group of astrologers, an astrologer who can solve the problem of ritual offerings can be called a great sage.

The astrologer said he would go back and gather the other astrologers to honor Master Glacier as a great sage.

Hyoga waved his hand. "I don't need your allegiance. If you don't want to anger me, don't come near me for the next few days, or I'll get angry."

Hyoga is now working on a dimensional gate to the next intermediate dimension. Although he has already made some backups, Hyoga does not want to be disturbed and fail.

Hyoga is now single-mindedly focused on finding Beidou.

Before the astrologer could say anything more, the demon lizard Yihao stood in front of him.

The oppressive aura emanating from the Demon Lizard Yihao forced the astrologer to flee at top speed with the little bird demon in his arms!

Binghe glanced at him, then stopped caring.

Taking out the dimensional gate, which was already half-finished, Hyoga began to work on it.

……

"It's almost finished! This time it'll definitely be a success!"

On the other side of the dimension, a group of astrologers were gathered around a stone altar, and an astrologer with even greater magical power was performing the most powerful astrological summoning they could currently do.

This time, however, they were truly certain of their success.

This time, it was the incredibly powerful Chaos God they had been communicating with who contacted them first, saying that he sensed the power he needed from their dimension, and therefore he was willing to accept their summons.

This situation is something astrologers never expected to be so good.

They have performed countless astrological summons, and each time these powerful beings only want more; when will they ever ask for less?

But this time, the other party not only said that, but actually sent a summoning contract on their own initiative.

How could astrologers, who were almost in despair, give up such a good thing?

He readily agreed! And at the urging of this Chaos God, he immediately began the summoning.

At their call, energy from the future was once again channeled into the altar.

Moreover, this time, the energy consumed was extremely small, and the figure of the Chaos God gradually became clear.

In previous communications, the astrologers only knew that the other party was powerful, but they were still unaware of everything else about him.

Now they see it clearly.

This Chaos God...

It's actually a dragon god!
