Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

This time, before Maruto Sho could find out from Judai which of the 72 demons was inhabiting the food, Ameruda said it himself: "The demon inhabited by [New Demon Chef's Goose Liver Sauce Fogresia] is based on the 25th of the 72 demons of Solomon, the demon of the giant winged demon dog - Gracia Labos."

"It also has the names of Cassimorral, Gurasha, and Gurachia Lapora. In addition to the power to make people invisible, it also has the ability to impart knowledge. Therefore, the effect of [New Magic Chef's Foie Gras] is that when it is Special Summoned successfully, it can be activated targeting up to three cards in both players' Graveyards, returning the targeted cards to the owner's deck."

Although Marufuji Sho couldn't see how the effect of [New Magic Chef's Goose Liver Sauce: Fogresia] had anything to do with his original Demon God prototype except for the "3", he still said in a flattering manner, "I see. I totally understand."

Looking at Marufuji Sho, Amerda thought about the cards in Marufuji Sho's graveyard, and couldn't think of any cards necessary to put him back into the deck.

If it was Kaiba, Amerda would immediately think of targeting [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] or [Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon]. If it was Jonouchi, he would have to focus on dealing with the [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] that kept resurrecting. Yugi Muto's [Dark Magician] was also quite good at jumping out of the graveyard. Not to mention Hayato Kobayashi, who knows where his [Horus] deck came from, and who can stand the fact that four big guys can jump out of the graveyard every turn?

But Marufuji Sho decided to just retrieve the cards in his own graveyard.

Thinking of this, Ameruda took out three cards from his graveyard and said, "The cards I chose are [New Magic Chef Inn Restaurant 『-Table』], [New Magic Chef's Marseille Fish Soup Bouilletse], and [Angel's Charity] from my graveyard."

Although each person can only put one card in the deck like [Treasure Card from Heaven] and [Giveaway from Angel], the [New Magic Chef] deck used by Amerda is very good at "not wasting food" and has some recycling methods. At present, he has recycled both cards into the deck, and he will have the opportunity to draw them again. In addition to the three cards in his hand and the two cover cards that have not been revealed in the back field, his resources are quite abundant.

On the other hand, in order to Fusion Summon [Super Transport Robot - Invisible Fusion], he now has only two cards left in his hand out of the seven cards he had at the beginning of the turn thanks to the [Treasure Card Falling from the Sky]. However, even after consuming so many cards, he didn't achieve any significant results. There are still two monsters on the field of Amerda, and his [Super Transport Robot - Invisible Fusion] is in defense position, unable to attack.

Moreover, he had already used the Normal Summon on the previous [Blender Man], so he couldn't possibly have a [Heavenly Treasure Card] in his hand? Besides, he had that card in his backfield, so even if he had a [Heavenly Treasure Card], it would be useless.

Not knowing what Amerda was thinking, Marufuji Sho looked at the two remaining cards in his hand, showing a distressed expression, and took out a card to activate it, saying: "Well, I don't have enough cards in my hand. It seems I have to use this card."

"Then I will use the magic card [Pot of Greed]——"

"Chain activation of trap card, [invalid]!" Marufuji Sho had just inserted the card into the magic trap area when he saw Amerda immediately follow up the chain and open another covered card on his backfield.

"[Nullify] can only be activated when the effect of a draw card is activated. Under the effect of this card, both parties confirm the cards drawn by the draw effect, and then discard them all to the Graveyard!"

"Eh!?"

Marufuji Sho's eyes widened. He never expected that Amerda would put such a card in the backcourt: "I drew so many cards last round, but I actually prepared a card that prevents the opponent from drawing cards?!"

"What's so surprising? Isn't this your principal's favorite routine? Only you can earn cards and not let others earn cards. No, in his words, 'Duel Monsters is such a cruel game, it's enough if there is one person who can play it.'" Amerda was very satisfied that his [Invalid] worked. It would be even better if it worked on Kaiba's [Life-threatening Treasure Card], but unfortunately it couldn't be changed, "Okay, draw your card, and let me see it!"

Feeling unwilling, Marufuji Sho could only draw the card that [Pot of Greed] allowed him to draw from the deck, and then watch helplessly as his two cards were sent to the graveyard.

Amerda looked at the two cards he sent to the graveyard with a strange look on his face. He didn't care much about the [Red Robot Call] card, but he cared more about the other card -

"Isn't that card [Supercritical Mecha Unit]?" Ameruda looked at Marufuji Sho, "Why do you have a support card for the [Mecha] deck that you can't use in the [Robot] deck?"

"That card was opened from the freshman-only card pack when I entered school last year. Although it has the effect of supporting the Machines, it is basically useless. It is a card that I can't use at all."

As he spoke, Maruto Sho cast his eyes towards Judai outside the field, "Because the second-year students will start trying new card construction, my brother encouraged me and said that there is no such thing as a useless card, so I put this card in the deck."

With a bitter expression on his face, Maruto Sho looked at the last card left in his hand - [Magic Hammer], and fell into frustration and despair.

[Marufuji Sho: 4000LP, hand 2→1]

His original idea was that his luck in drawing cards was far inferior to that of his elder brother, so even if he drew a useless card with [Pot of Greed], it didn't matter, he could still use [Mallet of Treasures] to put it back into the deck and draw a new card. If he couldn't draw a card that could change the situation after drawing two cards, he would definitely get a few cards that could be useful after drawing five cards, right?
However, [Invalid] cut off his last hope, and the two cards he drew were the last straw that broke the camel's back, because just as he guessed, when he needed useful cards the most, he only drew two Trap Cards that could only be activated in the next turn after being set aside. There is nothing that can better reflect his incompetence than this.

I really am not good enough, I am weak and bad. Obviously this duel is an important duel that will affect whether my elder brother can return to the track in this competition. Obviously my elder brother is looking forward to me so much.
Maruto Sho lowered his head and dared not raise it, for fear that he would accidentally see his elder brother's disappointed eyes after raising his head. But he didn't know if it was an auditory hallucination, he actually heard Judai saying "Well done"?
Eh? "Well done"? It must be an auditory hallucination. How could I possibly hear my brother say something like that to me at this time?
"Well done, Sho, you actually used your opponent's card!" Judai smiled happily, and said to Amerda, "I told you, Sho is also very capable, Mr. Amerda."

"And Xiang, I didn't lie to you, did I? Even though it may seem a little weird, that's the fun of duels. Now is the perfect time to put your cards to good use!"

Looking up in confusion, Marufuji Sho didn't comprehend the situation until Judai pointed to his own grave.

Is there anything in my graveyard? Maruto Sho looked at the Duel Disk and saw nine Robot monsters piled up in his graveyard since this turn, as well as the more conspicuous Mixer, and the Red Robot Call and Supercritical Mecha Unit that were just sent to the graveyard.

Each card seemed to have no connection, but when they were put together, a circuit diagram seemed to unfold in front of Marufuji Sho's eyes, and an electric current passed through the cards as nodes and reached the end. As if his brain was electrified, Marufuji Sho instantly figured out a combo that he had unknowingly completed in the cemetery, and also figured out why Judai was smiling so happily at this moment.

"Although it seems that my card draw just now was a complete failure, and was blocked by Mr. Amerda's [Invalid]. But, thanks to big brother, I seem to have found a possibility to win!" Thinking that he completed the current deck construction with the encouragement of big brother, and remembered the combo in the graveyard with the reminder of big brother, Marufuji Sho looked at Judai outside the field with gratitude in his eyes.

But he saw Judai shook his head in denial after hearing what he said. "That's not the case, Sho. Although I told you that you could add that card to the deck, wasn't it you who made the final decision and completed the construction of the other cards? And I didn't remind you that there were any card effects in your graveyard or somewhere else that could be activated. Didn't you remember the effects of the cards in the graveyard yourself?"

"The most important thing is that the person who draws the cards and duels is not me standing here, but you, Xiang, standing over there. I am just believing in you here, but the most important thing is that you believe in yourself." Judai said while giving a thumbs up, "Yes, even if you believe in yourself because you believe in me, but that's enough. It is because you believe in yourself, Xiang, that you can do what you are doing now!"

"This is something that only you, Xiang, can do. Now continue to move forward with courage!"

Marufuji Sho looked at Judai and felt like something was filled in his heart.

'Something only I can do'

'Believe in yourself.'

Unconsciously laughing, Marufuji Sho nodded vigorously to Judai: "Well! Then, big brother, please watch my duel!"

"I banish this card from my Graveyard to this [Red Robot Call] that was just sent to the Graveyard, and activate its effect targeting a [Robot] monster in my Graveyard - this [Invisible Robot]. Add [Invisible Robot] to my hand!"

[Marufuji Sho: 4000LP, hand 1→2]

After Marufuji Sho added the card to his hand, he immediately showed it together with another card: "Then I will activate this [Treasure Hammer], return this card and any cards in my hand to the deck, shuffle them, and draw cards in my hand equal to the number of cards returned to the deck!"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"With hope - draw again! Draw!"

Although [Pot of Greed] was blocked by [Invalid] before, Marufuji Sho was able to reproduce the effect with [Million Treasures Hammer] and once again drew two cards from the deck. With confidence, Marufuji Sho couldn't help but smile when he saw one of the cards he drew.

"Next, I will activate this Spell Card again, [Fusion Recycling], and retrieve a [Fusion] Spell Card from my Graveyard and a monster sent to the Graveyard as Fusion Material into my hand. The monster I choose is this [Express Robot]."

Retrieving the card into his hand, Marufuji Sho played it together with [Fusion] and said, "Next, I activate the magic card [Fusion] again, using the [Express Robot] in my hand and the [Super Transport Robot - Invisible Fusion] on the field as fusion materials, and perform a Fusion Summon!"

For a moment, it seemed as if the earth was shaking - no, to be more precise, the ground was really shaking, because the field magic card [Giant Robot City] actually began to deform after Marufuji Sho activated this [Fusion] magic card!

"The material requirements are: a [Robot] fusion monster plus a [Robot] monster. A new hope will be born at this moment with courage and bond!" Looking at the [New Magic Chef] on the field of Amerda, Marufuji Sho said, "If the special summon of [New Magic Chef] is called 'dish upgrade', then this is mine - transformation upgrade!"

"Show yourself!! The embodiment of hope that unites all expectations and trust!! Robots, transform! Combine and attack!"

With the second activation of [Fusion], [Express Robot] and [Super Transport Robot - Invisible Combination] were sent to the graveyard, and the two monsters turned into light and merged into the ground below. Amid the roar, the overpass, river and guide wires in the air under Amerda and Marufuji Sho's feet combined and transformed into a huge super robot!
[Super Transport Robot - Mobile Base] [10☆/Lot]

[Mechanical family/fusion/effect]

[0/5000]

Just as Amerda's [New Magic Chefs] were upgrading their levels, Marufuji Sho's [Super Transport Robot - Invisible Fusion] also completed its upgrade, rising from the original 9☆ to 10☆, becoming a mighty existence before our eyes!

"Once per turn, you can activate the effect of [Super Transport Robot - Mobile Base] by targeting a face-up monster on the opponent's field!" The moment the new monster appeared, Marufuji Sho gave the order, "The target I choose is [New Magic Chef's Goose Liver Sauce Fogresia]!"

Seeing that Marufuji Sho's newly summoned [Super Transport Robot - Mobile Base] was in defense position, and it only said that it would activate its effect on [New Magic Chef's Goose Liver Sauce Fogresia] without saying what the effect was, Amerda snorted coldly and said, "You're so proud of summoning a monster with 0 attack power? Since you want to see it, I'll show you my top-level [New Magic Chef]!"

In response to Marufuji Sho's Fusion Summon, when Super Transport Robot - Mobile Base selected New Magic Chef's Foie Gras Fogresia as the target of its effect, Amerda waved his hand and said, "When a monster on the field is selected as the target of an attack or effect, I chain activate the effect of New Magic Chef's Foie Gras Fogresia!"

"Release a [New Magic Chef] monster on my field and an Attack Position monster on both fields, Special Summon a Level 5☆/6☆ [New Magic Chef] Ritual Monster from your hand or deck. I will release [New Magic Chef's Foie Gras] and [New Magic Chef Token] on my field!"

Instead of reciting the recipe as the summoning word, Amerda retrieved a card from the deck and said in a deep voice: "The ultimate delicacy born from darkness, gather the power of the three bodies to destroy despair (meat), hatred (bread), and sin (vegetables)!"

"Dish upgrade - Level 6☆! Come, Wagatamashi!"

"The finale main course! [New Magic Chef's BBQ Baglier]!"

Along with the aroma of meat in the air and the grilled steaks on the field, a four-eyed demon with six stars on his chest appeared. After waiting for so many years, he finally got the chance. Amerda said the line he had always wanted to learn after monitoring Hayato using [Hellfire Machine Baal]:
"Do you dare to disobey me who has Bayali?" (End of this chapter)
