Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

"Chain the effect of [Beast of the Abyss - Druid Scale] and open the face card in my backfield!"

Yu-Gi-Oh! urgently activated the card in the backfield, "Trap Card [Skill Imprisonment], choose a card on my field to activate, I choose [Phantom Summoning God - Exodia]!"

As Yu-Gi-Oh activated the card, an octagonal energy barrier appeared in front of Exodia, the Phantom Summoning God. The Beast of the Abyss - Druid Scaleworm crashed directly into the barrier, but it seemed as if it crashed into the absolute field "AT Force Field", and was completely unable to interfere with Exodia on the other side.

"Phew, luckily it's a target effect." Yu-Gi-Oh laughed proudly after heaving a sigh of relief. "The effect of the Trap Card [Skill Imprisonment] is to negate the effects of both monsters that are activated with the target card as the target. And the effect of [Beast of the Abyss - Druid Scale] is a target effect, so naturally it can't send [Phantom Summoning God - Exodia] to the Graveyard."

“Hehehe, I managed to Special Summon [Phantom Summoning God - Exodia], but it’s not that easy for you to get rid of it!”

["Yu-Gi-Oh": 2200 LP, 1 cards in hand]

[Phantom Summoning God-Exodia][ATK 0]

[Awakening from a thousand-year sleep] [ATK2750]

[Millennium Dynasty Shield] [DEF3000]

Backcourt: [Gai Ka (Wrath of Hell - Devil's Flame Cannon)]

Venue: [Stone Tablet Temple]

[Hayato Kobayashi: 4000LP, hand 4 → 5]

Backstage: [Re-Brand] [Branded Beast]

After a round of attack and defense, all the monsters on Hayato's field were consumed, leaving only two continuous magic and trap cards on the backfield. However, he still had five cards in his hand, as if they had hardly been used.

In contrast, the cards on the backfield of "Yu-Gi-Oh" were also consumed until only the last one was left, which was the [Wrath of Hell - Demon Flame Cannon] that was previously covered by [Phantom Summoning God - Exodia] with its own effect.

"Tsk, as expected, 'Lonely Rock' is too gentle. After one round of deployment, it failed to successfully clear the field." Hayato looked at the cards in his hand, pulled out one and activated it, "In that case, I won't pretend anymore, I'm going to show my cards!"

"Activate the magic card [Angel's Charity]! I draw three cards from my deck and discard two cards from my hand. The cards I discard are these two!"

"[Beast of the Abyss - Hekai Dragon], and [The Tragedy of the Death Prison Actor]!" He sent [Beast of the Abyss - Hekai Dragon] and another monster that was just bounced back to the hand by "Yu-Gi-Oh" to the graveyard, and Hayato took out a lace mask from somewhere, "Actually, the deck I'm playing is 'Solar Doll'! Welcome to the world of Ave-Mujica!"

Opera-like music was played, and a heavy atmosphere echoed in the field along with the chanting. The [Tragic Death Prison Actor] that Hayato had discarded rose again from the graveyard in front of him, opened its chest and released an ominous black and red magic.

"If [Tragic Death Prison Actor] is sent to the Graveyard by an effect, I activate this by adding a [Death Prison] monster other than [Tragic Death Prison Actor] from my deck to my hand, and I choose [Death Prison's Channeling - Albert]."

Just like when Diavolo was fighting Polnareff, he almost killed his opponent but still failed to test out the opponent's Stand ability. Hayato didn't know whether he had tested out the full effect of [Phantom Summoning God - Exodia]. The opponent couldn't have a last words ability that would gather all five Old Ai into his hand after being destroyed, right?

Therefore, he was still testing the waters. The activation of two consecutive card effects, [Angel's Charity] and [Tragic Death Prison Actor], still failed to make [Phantom Summoning God - Exodia] react at all.

Then, let's try this - "I haven't performed a Normal Summon this turn yet. Normal Summon this [Albert, the Transformation of the Prison of Death] that I just retrieved and activate its effect."

Hayato said as he threw the mask in his hand forward. A hand stretched out from the magic power that had not yet dissipated and caught the mask thrown by Hayato. A "boy" wearing a black and red clown costume turned around, dissipated the magic power around him, and put the mask on his face.

【Guidance of the Death Prison - Albert】【4☆/Dark】

【Angel Family/Effect】

[1800/0]

"When [Albert, the Transformation of the Dead Prison] is summoned or special summoned, I activate it and add a [Brand] Spell/Trap Card from my deck to my hand. I choose [Brand Fusion]."

After a pause, Hayato played another card, "Then the magic card [Fusion Dispatch], showing a Fusion Monster from my Fusion Deck - [Huryan Dragon - Guignol Dragon] to the opponent, and then Special Summoning a Fusion Material Monster with the card name written on this Fusion Monster from my hand and deck!"

"The Fusion Material Requirements for [Heyan Dragon - Guignol Dragon] are [Heyan Saint - Cartesia] and a Light/Dark Attribute Monster, so I can Special Summon this [Heyan Saint - Cartesia] from the Deck!"

A pale body like a corpse slowly stood up, and a girl in a black and red long gauze dress appeared on Hayato's field, holding a slender sword in her hand, looking weak and powerless. However, "Yu-Gi-Oh" had seen that she also appeared in the card of [Huryan Dragon - Big Puppet Theater Dragon] shown by Hayato, and she was suspected to be the actual controller of the terrifying dragon.

[Saint of He-Cartesia] [4☆/Light]

[Magic family/mouth/effect]

[1500/1500]

"Both the attack and defense are 1500 points. And the name also has 'Saint' in it, and even the face is a bit similar?" Malik looked at the dark and charming doll-like girl on the field and asked curiously, "Is it related to the [Saint of Guidance - Ecclesia] that my brother-in-law used before?"

"Children, stop destroying Ave-Mujica's worldview." Hayato waved his hand. "The connection between [Saint of He - Cartesia] and that foodie saint is just that the former is a collection of more than 660 predecessors who died before the latter became a saint."

"Oh, I'm so scared." Malik held his cheeks exaggeratedly, "What are you doing after making such a big fuss? Is this still the 'Girls Band'?" "Hehe, anyway, [Saint of Her - Cartesia] has lost everything in the past, and her consciousness has long since swallowed the mud, becoming a puppet dancing between my fingers. This is the 'Solar Doll'!" Hayato opened his arms and smiled evilly, and against the backdrop of the monsters on the field, he looked very evil.

"Is he really unconscious?" Looking at [Saint of He - Cartesia] who was taking small steps to get closer to Hayato and even sniffing Hayato's scent, Malik complained, "I think it's hard to say. Brother-in-law, you are making such a big fuss, does my sister know?"

The "Dice King" on the side made a keen discovery: "Although the deck Hayato used just now was the [Beast of the Abyss] deck, the two cards retrieved - the continuous magic card [Rebrand] and the continuous trap card [Branded Beast], have the two monsters on his field now in their images."

"So, [Beast of the Abyss], [Death Prison], and that [Saint of Hell - Cartesia] are all related deck series?"

"Shocked, you mean Hayato's deck this time is really a 'pure XX' deck?" Hearing his words, "Car King" said in a tone of shock, "How is it possible!?"

"Yeah, I understand the surprise, but why do you have the tone of 'How could the Hayato I know be like this?'" Looking at the two of them, Malik complained, "Compared to that, your boss, the old man named 'Yu-Gi-Oh', seems to be in worse shape~"

"After so many attempts, you still don't activate the effect of [Phantom Summoning God - Exodia]? Then can I assume that your [Phantom Summoning God - Exodia] has no more effects besides the resistance to being destroyed by effects, the ability to increase the basic score value attack power, and the endurance of placing cards in the end phase?"

Hayato looked at Yu-Gi-Oh and sneered, "With three effects, it's considered quite powerful, but in terms of strength, you still can't beat me, Hayato Krillin!"

"Activate the magic card [Brand Fusion]! This card has a noble deck fusion ability. It allows me to send two Fusion Material monsters determined by Fusion Monsters from my hand, field, or even deck to the graveyard, and Fusion Summon a single Fusion Monster with [Albus's Fallen] as the Fusion Material from my Fusion Deck!"

After several attempts, Hayato saw that "Yu-Gi-Oh" had never used the effects of his monsters, and the unknown effect of [Wrath of Hell - Demonic Flame Cannon] in the backfield had not been activated. He finally felt relieved to play the noble deck fusion magic card - [Brand Fusion]!

As long as the Fusion Monster needs to use [Albus's Fallen] as the Fusion Material, Hayato can easily summon it through the card [Brand Fusion], and he thinks the current situation is suitable for it-

However, just when Hayato's [Brand Fusion] was about to start, [Phantom Summoning God - Exodia], who had been silent for a long time without any movement, suddenly raised his hand, grabbed [Brand Fusion] and crushed it in an instant! ?

"Haha, you still lack patience, Hayato." With a smug smile, Yu-Gi-Oh stretched out five fingers and said, "It is indeed amazing for a regular monster to have three effects, but my [Exodia] is the [Phantom Summoning God]. As a 'God', he cannot be treated with the specifications of an ordinary monster. He is formed by the fusion of five [Sealed] monsters, so of course he has five effects!"

"[Sealed Left Foot] grants him resistance to being destroyed by any effect; [Sealed Right Foot] gives him the ability to increase his attack power by the value of his basic score once per round when calculating damage in battle;"

"[Sealed Exodia], once per turn, you can chain activate it when a Spell or Trap Card's effect is activated, negating its activation; [Sealed Left Hand], brings about the effect of placing an [Egzod] Spell or Trap Card on the Set at the End Phase of both turns;"

"And, the last one, [Sealed Right Hand], was forcibly activated during my preparation phase, and I lost 1000 basic points."

"Five components, bringing five different effects? Awesome!" Bakura exclaimed, but was a little confused. "But, is the last effect a negative effect that will deduct my basic points? But why is there a right hand?"

"Are you serious? Isn't it reasonable that using the power of your right hand will deduct basic points?" Malik said, and raised his hand to make a rather obscene gesture, but the next moment he was hit on the forehead by a stone thrown by Hayato. He failed to harass them successfully with his actions and could only squat on the ground covering his head.

"I was already unhappy about being blocked, and you, a three-year-old kid, came at the perfect time." A stone in his hand was thrown up and down, and Hayato looked at "Yu-Gi-Oh" with an unhappy face and said, "You are really good at hiding this magic trap."

With a long face, Hayato waved his hand again: "You can resist the magic trap once, but what if I use the monster effect to fuse? Huhuhuhu, don't blink! This is the invincible throwing tile engraved on the [Death Prison], the [Brand] of He - Brand Contact Fusion!"

"During both Main Phases, activate the second effect of [Holy Maiden of He - Cartesia]! Use the monsters in my hand and on the field as Fusion Materials to perform a Fusion Summon of a Level 8☆ or higher Fusion Monster!"

"I will use the [Death Prison] monster on my field, [Albert, the Transformation of Death Prison], and the light attribute [Cartesia, the Saint of He] as fusion materials. The requirements for the fusion materials are [Death Prison] monster plus a light and dark attribute monster!"

"Under the brand of He, the blazing flames rise, let's hold this grand masquerade here, no one can refuse, no one can escape!" Sending the two cards on the field to the graveyard, Hayato took out a purple-bordered Fusion Monster Card and raised it above his head, "If you have committed yourself to a heavy sleep, then it doesn't matter if you stain yourself. Disguise? The meaning of the mask on your face is - 'Don't be afraid, I am the gift'!"

"Brand contact fusion, level 8☆!"

"Put on the mask——【Hei Zhuo Long - Disguise Dragon】!"

[He Zhuo Long - Disguise Dragon] [8☆/Dark]

[Demon/Fusion/Effect]

[2500/2000]

After hearing that Yu-Gi-Oh's [Phantom Summoning God - Exodia] actually had the effect of forcibly activating it and causing him to lose basic points, Hayato decisively changed his mind and bought the famous [Hei-Scorch Dragon - Disguise Dragon]. Among the card masters in another world, this card has the nicknames "600 Dragon" and "Blood Tax Dragon". The reason is -

"[Hei Jiao Long - Disguise Dragon] is the evolved form of [Albert, the Transformation of the Prison of Death]. No, it is also appropriate to describe it as the 'true self'. Taking off the 'mask', it becomes a 'disguise', and putting on the 'mask' reveals the 'true self'. Isn't it interesting?"

Hayato opened his arms arrogantly, "The effect of [Hei Jiao Long - Disguise Dragon] is a 'tax'! I declare that from this moment on, 'Yu-Gi-Oh', you will pay taxes when you activate the effects of monster cards, the effects of magic cards, and even the effects of trap cards!"

"Huh?" Not understanding what Hayato meant, the "Car King" outside the field made a puzzled sound.

“You have to pay tax even if you breathe!”

Hayato pointed at him and said without turning his head, "This is the power of [Hei Jiao Long - Disguise Dragon]——"

"As long as the Fusion Summoned [Hei Jiao Long - Camouflage Dragon] exists in the Monster Zone, the opponent cannot activate the card's effect unless they pay 600 Life Points!" (End of this chapter)
