How come the Ace of Cups isn't considered the Holy Grail?

[King's Knight]

[Attack power: 1600]

【Guard Knight】

[Attack power: 1900]

"Then I activate the effect of the Spell Card [Ghost Thunder Trap] from my hand! I discard 2 cards from my hand, and can set 1 Trap Card from my Graveyard to my field!"

"Furthermore, cards set using this effect can also activate during the turn they are set!"

Yuto had two cards left in his hand: [Sky Dragon of Osiris] and [Phoenix, Winged Dragon of Ra]. He sent both of these cards to the graveyard.

His choice was naturally the [Resurrected Sky God], which had been previously sent to the graveyard and was also the only trap card in his graveyard.

"Although it's only been one round, Goetia, both of us are running out of cards right now, aren't we?"

Yuuto, who didn't have a single card in his hand, smiled at Getia, causing Getia, who didn't understand what he meant, to frown.

"What do you want to say?"

"Heh, what do I want to say? I'm going to set [Resurrected Sky God] face-down on the field from my graveyard and activate its effect immediately!"

Yudou flipped over the cover card that had just appeared on the field.

"Special Summon 1 [Sky Dragon of Osiris] from my Graveyard. After that, each player draws cards from their Deck until they have 6 cards in their hand!"

In an instant, the sky and earth changed color, and thick dark clouds gathered in the already dim space, with lightning surging within the clouds, forming a sea of ​​lightning.

"When the sky is thundering and chaotic, gathering the ancient magic books in the chain will have unlimited power!"

An aura of destruction and death permeated the land, and the mere emanation of that aura was enough to turn the earth to dust.

As Youdu chanted, the dark clouds continued to spread. In the sea of ​​thunder, the Sky Dragon's body, which was even larger than the three Time Machine Gods, almost filled the entire sky.

Amidst this scene that resembled the collapse of the sky, Yudo raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and shouted loudly amidst the thunder, meeting Goetia's shocked expression.

"Descend, [Sky Dragon of Osiris]!"

Chapter 125 The Creator God of Light

The cards that housed the Phantom Gods seemed to carry a slight electric current; even when placed on the Duel Disk, wisps of crimson lightning would occasionally flash across their surfaces.

[Osiris Sky Dragon]

【10 stars】

[Phantom Beast Race/God]

[Attack power: 0]

Attack power...0?

Phantom Beast Race? Divine Attribute?

But its attack power is 0?!

Faced with the fact that the race and attributes of the [Sky Dragon of Osiris] were clearly different from ordinary monsters, none of the people present believed that it was something that had been written down casually.

But this seemingly powerful monster has an attack power of 0?

Even without being able to read minds, Yuuto could guess what Goetia was thinking at this moment.

He chuckled nonchalantly, drew six cards from the top of his deck according to the subsequent effect of [Resurrected Sky God], and gestured to Goetia on the other side.

Why would you replenish your enemy's hand with cards?

What is this guy planning to do?

Goetia was filled with doubt and uncertainty because of the overwhelming aura of [Sky Dragon of Osiris], but his hands did not hesitate. Following Yuu's action, he also drew 6 cards from the top of the deck.

At that moment, after the effect of [Resurrected Sky God] was resolved and both players replenished their hands to 6 cards, the [Sky Dragon of Osiris] in the sky also changed.

[Osiris Sky Dragon]

[Attack power: 0→6000]

Attack power... 6000?!

"How is this possible?! The attack power has actually increased to 6000?!"

This sudden change clearly shocked everyone present.

Looking at the Sky Dragon's drastically changing attack power, Goetia was momentarily incredulous.

But he quickly identified the most likely conjecture from among the 72 ideas.

The six cards they drew!

More accurately, it varies depending on the number of cards in his hand!

This explains why Yuto specifically replenished his hand cards. Otherwise, if it was based on the number of cards in Yuto's hand, why would he bother replenishing his hand cards as well?

Why not just let yourself draw cards directly?

Yu Du didn't care what he was thinking. Anyway, as long as the number of cards in his hand decreased, the effect of the Sky Dragon's attack power change would be exposed, so there was no need to say it out loud.

When he saw the six cards he had just drawn in his hand, he knew that the puzzle of victory was complete.

His gaze fell on the three Time Machine Gods on the Goetia field, and the golden light in his eyes had never gone out since it lit up.

"Spell Card [Ancient Spell] activated!"

"Based on this card's effect, I add 1 [Winged Dragon of Ra] from my deck to my hand, and during this turn's Main Phase, I can perform an additional Tribute Summon in addition to my Normal Summon!"

Yuuto drew the card from his deck that was different from ordinary cards, one that radiated warmth. He placed it together with the "Obelisk the Tormentor" in his hand, picked out another card next to it, and pointed it at the three Time Machine Gods on Goetia's field.

What a coincidence, there are exactly three.

Your scene looks a bit too messy, let me help you clean it up!

"I activate the Quick-Play Spell [Intertwined Souls] from my hand! I offer [Time Machine God Mitchin], [Time Machine God Santayon], and [Ultimate Time Machine God Sephiron] from your field as tributes!"

Goetia: "!!!"

As You Du finished speaking, a breeze suddenly blew through the temple.

The first cool breeze caressed Fujimaru Ritsuka's face, and she didn't realize anything was wrong until the breeze turned into a strong wind, the coolness into a scorching heat, and then she noticed something was amiss.

A raging storm swept across the land, the bluish-green gale lashing at exposed skin with a tearing pain. Amidst the flying sand and stones, even the figure of Youdu was obscured, but the prayers chanted aloud remained completely undisturbed.

"When it comes, the scorching wind will blow across the desolate land, and the living will turn into corpses!"

"Let us once again welcome the descent of the gods! Superior Summoning! [Obelisk the Colossus]!"

The earth trembled, and the temple collapsed.

The floor was split into two parts by a large crack, and a blue giant rose up from the abyss. His breath turned into a destructive gale that swept across the earth, and his body, which reached the sky, was enormous yet incomparably sacred.

Obelisk the Colossus

[Phantom Beast Race/God]

[Attack power: 4000]

[Osiris Sky Dragon]

[Attack power: 6000→4000]

Another one!

Looking at the Tormentor summoned from the monsters on the field, which possessed the same star rating, race, and attribute as the Sky Dragon, and now even had the same attack power, Goetia's expression turned extremely ugly.

He didn't even have time to be surprised that the Sky Dragon's attack power was determined by the number of cards in the Wanderer's hand.

"They actually used a monster from our field as a Tribute Summon?! How can a card with such an effect exist?!"

However, Yudou paid no attention to him.

With the field already filled with monsters, he faced an empty field like Goetia, but instead of immediately entering the battle phase, he first banished the [Ancient Curse] from the graveyard.

"I activate the effect of the Ancient Incantation card in my Graveyard! Banish this card!"

If I successfully Tribute Summon [Ragnaros the Sun Dragon] this turn, [Ragnaros the Sun Dragon's] original ATK and DEF will become the sum of the original ATK and DEF of the monster released during that Tribute Summon!

Then Yuto drew the card "Winged Dragon of the Sun" from his hand.

"I offer up the [King's Knight], [Queen's Knight], and [Guard Knight] on the field as sacrifices! Superior Summon!"

"The spirits sing, the ancient power governs all things! Their life, their soul, and even their bones!"

"Descend, [Winged Dragon of the Sun God]!"

The golden sun hung high in the sky, its blazing flames scorching the earth.

The sun stretched out its body, the flames that had been coiling around it receded, revealing the Winged Dragon's dazzling form and bringing the radiance of life to this world without light!

【The Winged Dragon of Ra】

【10 stars】

[Phantom Beast Race/God]

[Attack power:? →5000]

[Osiris Sky Dragon]

[Attack power: 4000→3000]

Is this the end?

of course not!

If the goal was simply to deplete Goetia's health through direct attacks, then Yuwa could have done that already; why bother summoning the Winged Dragon of Ra?

Besides, no one knows if any of the six cards in Goetia's hand are traps that can reduce combat damage to 0. Even if the possibility is low, there is no need for Yuto to gamble on it.

After all, just as he said before.

The puzzle of victory was already complete in his hands!

"I release [Sky Dragon Osiris], [Obelisk the Tormentor], and [Ragnaros the Sun God] on the field! Special Summon!"

"【Halakti, the Creator God of Light】!"

The three phantom gods transformed into three-colored light and merged into one at You Du's command, with countless rays of light converging on You Du's field.

Soft white light filled the sky and earth, banishing all darkness. The warm feeling made Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu so comfortable that they couldn't help but fall asleep.

Before she completely fell into a deep sleep, she struggled to open her heavy eyelids and saw the tall and imposing female figure in the swimming arena, as well as Getia, who was submerged in light.

"The effect of [Halakti, the Creator of Light] grants the player who Special Summoned this card victory in a Duel..."

Yuuto turned his gaze away from the fallen Goetia, glanced at the unconscious Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, chuckled, shook his head helplessly.

"...But it seems no one is listening anymore now?"

[Yudou: Win!]

Chapter 126 Saving the world? A piece of cake!

When Fujimaru Ritsuka opened her eyes from her sleep, the first thing she saw was a gloomy sky, and then Yuuto's face suddenly appeared from the side.

"Ah, Master, you're awake? The surgery was a success, you're a lovely girl now!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka: "!!!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had just woken up and was still not fully conscious, was so startled that she sat up abruptly and instinctively reached down to touch herself.

"..."

Wait a minute, she seems to remember that she was originally a girl, right?

The outstretched hand stopped halfway. Stimulated by the journey, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had just woken up, was the first to recall that her gender was not that of an armed helicopter or a Walmart shopping bag.

Realizing she had been tricked, Fujimaru Ritsuka glared angrily at Yuuto, who was smirking.

That’s so bad, I’m going to glare at him!

"Ahem, sorry, sorry. The situation was just so perfect that I couldn't help but say it out loud. Well, let me repeat it..."

He gave a half-hearted apology to Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was glaring at him. Seeing that Mash had woken up, Yuuto regretfully gave up the chance to try again and said seriously.

"Congratulations, Miss Savior! Congratulations on successfully defeating Goetia, the mastermind behind it all, resolving the Human Order Burning Incident, and saving Pan-Human History!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't actually sleep for long. She woke up around the time the duel ended and Yuwatari confirmed that there were no more threats around.
