Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

Seeing Hayato draw a card and have one more card in his hand than he did, [Gaussa] felt very annoyed: "It's just one more card in my hand. In front of my invincible [Hundred-Armed Invisible God - Senor], it's nothing but a speck of dust."

"Return to holiness, face the holy light, for God's embrace holds all things, and God's love accepts all beings!" Pointing at Hayato, [Gausa] shouted, "Activate the power of [Hundred-Armed Invisible God - Shyno] - This can be activated during both players' Main Phases. I will randomly select two face-down cards from my opponent's Extra Deck and Special Summon one of them to my field!"

Hayato raised an eyebrow, but didn't rush to activate the second effect of his unused "Armed Dragon Cannon"—a powerful effect that, once per opponent's turn, banishes all cards on the opponent's field and in their graveyard by banishing one card from their own Deck or Extra Deck.

If you follow up with the chain now, you can clear out all the monsters on [Gaussa]'s field at once and destroy its graveyard as well. In conjunction with the continuous effect of [Armed Dragon Cannon], you can further seal its effect of using cards with the same name. However, the monsters that are taken away by the effect of [Hundred-Armed Invisible God - Shrek] will still exist on the opponent's field.

Hayato didn't follow up with the chain when [Hundred-Armed Invisible Prison - Tartarus] was activated earlier for this reason, and he's not activating the effect now for the same reason. He plans to wait until the opponent has finished deploying before activating this ability.

Hayato's Extra Deck card information was read. With Hayato having already used six cards, his Extra Deck still had nine unknown cards remaining. This flip also allowed [Gaussa] to uncover a card that Hayato had used in a previous duel.

"【VWXYZ-Dragon Cannon】? You did show this card when you activated 【XYZ-Super Dragon Cannon】. However, because this card has a restriction that it must meet certain conditions to be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, even the power of 'God' cannot summon it."

[Gaussa] paused, then added an excuse, "It's not because God's power is insufficient, but because these mere mechanical monsters are not sincere enough!"

"What? There's this 'sincerity brings results' thing? You've really put together a lot of superstitious tricks with this one," Hayato retorted, glancing at the other card that had been confirmed by the other party. "So you're going to Special Summon another monster, right?"

"Hmph, are you scared, human? There's no need to fear. This is merely returning to the embrace of God. Eternal peace is the pursuit of all life and consciousness." [Gaussa] tempted, not in a hurry to make a choice, but instead played a card from his hand, saying, "Since you're not chaining my effects to activate any cards now, then I'll continue with my Special Summon!"

"Quick-Play Spell Card [Fusion Beast]! Can only be activated during both players' Main Phases. Use any monsters on your field or in your hand, including any Fiend or Beast monsters, as Fusion Material to Fusion Summon them!"

"Send [King of Phantom Claws - Gazel] from my hand and [Baphomet the Great Wing] from the field to the Graveyard as Fusion Materials to satisfy the Fusion Material requirement of two Beast-Fiend-Fel-Fel monsters of different races!"

"A beast that prides itself on possessing the soul of a raging monster and the weapons of a ferocious phantom beast! In the name of the gods, it descends to punish!"

"Fusion Summon, Level 6☆!"

"Show yourself—[Phantom Beast Demon King - Baphomet]!"

【Phantom Beast King - Baphomet】【6☆/Wind】

[Demon Race/Fusion/Effect]

[2400/600]

A four-armed demon appeared on [Gaussa]'s field. [Gaussa] then played another card, one of the two cards he had taken from Hayato's Extra Deck earlier: "After the effect of [Mega Fusion] resolves, it is the effect of [Hundred-Armed Invisible God - Seraphim] that Special Summons this monster of your opponent to my field!"

With the unique light effects of Fusion Monsters, Hayato's "Powerful Monster" - a large, white monster - was Special Summoned to the field of [Gauss] - ?

"Sorry to bother you again~" With a bright white smile, [Disruptor King] lay down next to [Disruptor Black].

[Disruptor King] [DEF3000]

Since Hayato uses a deck with [Disruption], [Armed Dragon], and [AtoZ], it's quite normal for him to include [Disruption King] in his Extra Deck. Unfortunately, [Gaussaint]'s [Hundred-Armed Invisible God - Senor] effect randomly selected two cards that cannot be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck by their effects: [VWXYZ - Divine Dragon Cannon] and [Disruption King].

Although the latter is completely useless now that Hayato's field is full of monsters, and its 3000 defense is commendable, it is still better than the former, which cannot be Special Summoned. When [Gaussa] plays the card of [Disruptor King], it can only console itself that it is the effect that it activated itself, and it can't admit that it lost out, right?

"Although I Special Summoned a useless minion—I mean, a weak lamb—God's mercy is equal for all!" Even the charlatan [Gaussa], looking at the ugly [Disruptor King] on its field, was quite disgusted and couldn't understand why Hayato would include such a monster in his deck. "In short, by returning to God's embrace, its sins have been absolved."

"In addition—when [Baphomet the Beast King] is Fusion Summoned, the effects of three cards must be activated, forming a self-chain C1 [Baphomet the Beast King] C2 [Gazelle the Claw King] C3 [Baphomet the Great Wing]!"

【Gaussa】 has a well-thought-out plan. When 【Baphomet the Great Wing】 and 【Gazelle the Phantom Claw King】 are sent to the graveyard as fusion materials, they can respectively revive a Phantom Demon monster in the graveyard and search for a Phantom Demon monster from the deck to add to the hand. When 【Baphomet the Phantom Beast King】 appears, it can also send a Beast, Fiend, or Phantom Demon monster from the deck to the graveyard. It's simply a perfect card effect.

The process of piling up graves, reviving, and searching was completed in one smooth motion. Having likely exhausted all possible effects in that long chain of attacks, this human was definitely incapable of dealing with him anymore—hmm!?
The red light under Gaussaard's hood almost went out, because he saw Hayato take a card out of his deck, which actually chained to his card and activated its effect again!?
"I deliberately waited until this moment to activate the effect of [Armed Dragon Cannon] - once per opponent's turn, I can banish one card from my Deck or Extra Deck to activate this effect, banishing all cards on the opponent's field or in their Graveyard!"

[Armed Dragon Strike Cannon] set up its numerous weapons and aimed them at [Gaussa]. The mechanism behind it unfolded, revealing a card storage space in front of Hayato, waiting for him to drop the cards in his hand into it.

“I hate these messy duels the most, let me clear the field—” Hayato said, adding a “whoosh” sound effect to his card-throwing motion, “Final-Vent!”

"You, you can't, you can't do that!" [Gaussa] was visibly panicked, completely unprepared for Hayato's hidden trick. How was this any different from "special summoning five times with trembling hands, only to find out the opponent had no timer, then launching a full-blown attack, only to discover at the very end that the opponent had simply turned off free timer and had been holding a meteor all along"?
No, no, I need to get my head moving! How can I let myself be defeated by mere mortals? What cards do I still have left? What else?
With only one card left in his hand and having used up all the monster effects on the field, [Gaussa] had no choice but to look to his graveyard. Surprisingly, he actually found a card that he could actually use.
"Hmph, hehehehe, God's wisdom sees through everything. Did you think that keeping that effect until now would cause God the slightest harm?" Completely unfazed by his earlier panic, [Gaussa] banished a card from the graveyard. "During your previous turn, that [Hand Destroy] not only sent [God's Hundred Arms] to the graveyard, but also this [Mirror Sword Knight]!"

"If I control [Winged Beast Chimera] and my opponent activates a monster's effect, I can banish this card from my field or Graveyard to negate that effect!"

"And as long as [Baphomet] exists on the field or in the graveyard, its card name is treated as [Winged Beast Chimera]!" Having unexpectedly found an escort card in the graveyard, [Gaussa] is now incredibly arrogant. "The power to defeat your card is created by your own power. The power of the gods is absolute, therefore—negate the banishment effect of [Armed Dragon Cannon]!"

"I also want to activate the second effect of [Mega Beast Fusion] in the Graveyard within this chain. If this card is in the Graveyard during my Main Phase, or if I have [Winged Beast Chimera] on my field or in my Graveyard, I can choose to activate this effect and add it back to my hand!"

C1【幻兽魔王-巴风特】C2【幻爪之王-加泽尔】C3【大翼之巴风特】C4【武装龙强击炮】C5【镜剑骑士】C6【合成兽融合】！
Because of the chain's "last move first" rule, [Gaussa] first retrieved [Mega Fusion] from the graveyard before dealing with the effect of [Mirror Sword Knight]. A mirror-like barrier appeared on [Gaussa]'s field, completely blocking the bombardment fired by the effect of [Armed Dragon Cannon], as if using some kind of secret technique called "Defense Descent".

However, only the exclusion effect of [Armed Dragon Strike] is invalidated; its permanent first effect remains in effect.

Next, the effects of monsters like Baphomet the Great Wing were dealt with, but Gaussaur did not use Baphomet the Great Wing's effect to retrieve monster cards from the Graveyard: "Of the Fantasy Demon monsters in my Graveyard, only Mirror Sword Knight remained, and now, the effect of Baphomet the Great Wing cannot Special Summon the banished Mirror Sword Knight."

(The transliteration is Machibuer, and it will probably be translated as "Guide to Heaven" like the previous two [Heavenly Hand].)
"However, I can still use the effect of [King of Phantom Claws - Gazel] to add the One-in-One Phantom Demon Monster from my deck to my hand - here I will add [Hundred-Armed Invisible Hand - Guide to Heaven] to my hand."

Add a card to your hand, and [Gaussa] draws another card from the deck. "Finally, the effect of [Baphomet] sends this card from my deck—the second [Mirror Sword Knight]—to the graveyard."

【迦乌撒：4000LP，手牌：3→1→2→3】

Having replenished his hand, [Gaussa] revealed the [Hundred-Armed Invisible Hand - Guide to Heaven] he had just retrieved: "The Hand of God lures death, the Hand of God summons the path to life, the Hand of God guides to tranquility—I can activate this effect by revealing this card from my hand to my opponent. Using this card and all other monsters on my field and in my hand as Fusion Material, I perform a Fusion Summon of a single [Hundred-Armed Invisible Hand] monster!"

"The materials I use are the [Hundred-Armed Invisible Hand - Heavenly Guide Hand] itself and the [Hundred-Armed Invisible Hand - Gaigashi] on the field—the beings on earth must offer everything, and the divine light will grant you equal peace!"

"Fusion Summon, Level 7☆!"

"The Underworld, the Anchors—[The Hundred-Armed Invisible Hand—Tartaros]!"

The black tower that appeared before when the quick-play spell card [Hundred-Armed Invisible Prison - Tartarus] was activated has reappeared. However, this time, in addition to recovering the large amount of slime, it also swept up the two monsters on [Gaussa]'s field and in his hand, forcibly fixing the monsters to the tower and making them part of it.

The Black Tower transforms into a twisted form with four arms, many legs, and a thousand whiskers and a hundred eyes, appearing under the name of the hell itself in Greek mythology—"Tartarus"!
(The official high-resolution card images haven't been released yet, so please bear with these.)

[The Hundred-Armed Invisible Hand - Tartarus] [7☆/Dark]

[Fantasy Demon Race/Fusion/Effect]

[2900/3000]

Seeing the card information updated in real time in the system shop along with the appearance of [Hundred-Armed Invisible Hand - Tartarus], Hayato's eyes lit up, while [Gausa] was even happier than Hayato: "We won! Victory is inevitable in the face of divine power—yes, with the appearance of [Hundred-Armed Invisible Hand - Tartarus], victory is already on our side!"

"The Fantasy Demons are products of the darkness that has settled in the inner world. As beings incompatible with everything in this world, they can inflict combat damage but cannot destroy monsters, nor can they be destroyed by other beings in combat. However—[Hundred-Armed Invisible Hand - Tartarus] is the very prison that seals away light, possessing the ability to carry us [Hundred-Armed Invisible Hand] across the prison to strike vital points!"

Unaware that Hayato had already skimmed through the effects, [Gaussa] proudly explained the card's effect, "This card can target one monster on your opponent's field and forcibly gain control of that monster. Furthermore, as long as it exists in the Monster Zone, my [Hundred-Armed Invisible] monster and any other monsters on my field that were originally under my opponent's control can attack directly!"

"I'm here to take Ra's Winged Dragon of Ra from the opponent's field!"

Hayato didn't stop her from taking the "Ra's Winged Dragon of Ra" card from his Duel Disk. Instead, he picked up the card and waved it around: "Unfortunately, the 'Ra's Winged Dragon of Ra' is a noble god. Trap cards can't affect it, and the effects of monsters of lower level can't affect it either. Even high-level monsters and spell cards only have one turn of effect and can't change control."

"Even if it can be taken, do you even understand the priestly writing? Would you really take it?"

Upon hearing Hayato's words, Gaussaur instinctively looked at Ra's card. Although he could previously analyze and skillfully use most of the languages ​​Hayato knew in a few seconds, he couldn't read a single word after seeing the text on Ra's card.
"how come?"

Puzzled by the situation, Gaussa glanced at Hayato's field and then decisively shifted his focus. "Since the highest attack power, Ra's Winged Dragon and Armed Dragon Lightning LV10, cannot be controlled, I'll have to brainwash Armed Dragon Power Cannon!"

However, Hayato smirked and suddenly pressed the button to activate the face-down card, saying, "You did say you wanted to 'take control of the monsters on my field,' right? I'm sorry you can't take control of [Ra], because that would save me a lot of trouble, but even now, you're in for a big surprise!"

"The moment control of the monsters on my field is transferred to my opponent due to the effect of their card, my face-down card in the back row—[Troy Bomb]—is activated!"

"It's already quite remarkable that you dared to challenge me, and even more impressive that you dared to take my monster, but that's all I can praise you for—keep this gift called 'Pain' safe!"

"【Armed Dragon-Slaying Cannon】, for the greater good, give your life!"

As Hayato snapped his fingers, the Armed Dragon Strike Cannon, which was approaching the field of Gauss under the effect of [Hundred-Armed Invisible Hand - Tartarus], suddenly emitted a white light symbolizing destruction, detonating before Gauss could react!

"Boom!" (End of Chapter)
