Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

"That monster!" Both Manjoume and O'Brien had witnessed the [Lord of the Mist] controlling Amon. Upon seeing the monster's appearance, O'Brien frowned. "They said they weren't being controlled, but isn't that monster appearing again?"

“No, it seems there’s a difference. Last time, the monster was forcibly stuffed into that guy’s body, but this time, it seems that Amon is the one in control.” Manjoume noticed the difference and said strangely.

“Regardless, they really intend to fight us and engage in a duel.” O’Brien frowned, about to unfold his duel disk. “So, if we don’t defeat them—”

“I have no interest in you, Ossin O'Brien,” Amon said directly. “The opponent I want to duel is Jaden Yuki. You are of no value to me.”

"Amon." Looking at his "partner" standing opposite him, Jaden gritted his teeth. "Instead of putting others in danger during the duel, I'll do it. Amon, I'll take on the role—wait, huh?"

Suddenly pushed by Manjoume, Judai took two steps back and looked at Manjoume who was walking forward with a puzzled expression. He saw Manjoume taking out his deck to make adjustments: "Anyway, you'll probably just keep shouting stupid things like 'I won't kill you' or 'We have no reason to fight' to stall for the other side for half a day, right? I don't have time to watch that kind of farce."

"This guy's got some brain issues. All I need to do is knock him out with a lot of Life Points in one go during the duel. I've been holding back my anger ever since yesterday, so—" He inserted his deck into the duel disk, the disk unfolded, the Life Points area lit up, and a "Rage" symbol, invisible to anyone, lit up on Manjoume's neck. "Watch out, don't let my wrath take you down, Amon Garlem!"

"It's you, not Judai. You're a suitable candidate, Jun Banjou." Amon nodded. "For the power here, lend me your life!"

"Duel!"

"I'll take the first turn!" With a hand speed a bit faster than Manjoume, Amon seized the first turn, drew a card from his deck, and began his turn. "Then I will Normal Summon [Summoner Monk], and because of its effect, if this card is Normal or Flip Summoned, it will be forcibly activated and changed to Defense Position."

[800/1600]

“As long as [Summoner Monk] is in the Monster Zone, this card cannot be Tributed.” Amon said, discarding a card from his hand. “Then I discard this [Summoning Cloud] from my hand to activate the effect of [Summoner Monk].

"Once per turn, I can discard one Spell Card from my hand to activate this effect. Special Summon a Level 4 monster from my Deck. The monster Special Summoned by this effect cannot attack this turn—however, it cannot enter the Battle Phase on my first turn."

"I Special Summon the Level 4 Royal Magic Library from my Deck."

The old monk on the field chanted an incantation, and a tall wall of books rose behind Amon, containing countless magic books waiting to be discovered for their power.

"You played two cards just to Special Summon two monsters?" Manjoume said disdainfully. "Last time you were controlled, you used the 'Swift' deck, and now you've switched to a new deck? But there's no sign of the 'Cloud Monster' deck mentioned in the information."

“No, I do use the Cloud Monster deck. The Cloud Monster card that was just discarded was from the Cloud Monster deck,” Amon explained, and continued playing cards. “While the Summoning Monk can’t be Tributed, it can be sent to the Graveyard by cards like this.”

"Equip the Spell Card 'Magic Wand'. This card can only be equipped to a Spellcaster monster, increasing the equipped monster's ATK by 500. But more importantly, this card's second effect allows me to send both the equipped monster and this card from my field to the Graveyard, allowing me to draw two cards from my Deck." After placing the card down, Amon continued, "At the same time 'Magic Wand' is activated, the 'Royal Magic Library' will place a Spell Counter if either duelist activates a Spell Card."

“接着我发动【神奇魔杖】的第二效果，将【召唤僧】与这张卡一同送去墓地，从我的卡组中抽出两张卡片。”    【阿蒙·加勒姆：4000LP，手牌：5→6→5→4→3→5】

"Next, I activate the Spell Card [Monster Resurrection] to Special Summon [Summoner Monk] from my Graveyard, and place another Spell Counter on [Royal Magic Library]."

The card that had just been sent to the graveyard was retrieved again. Amon placed [Summoning Monk] on the field. "Since the effect of [Summoning Monk] is not limited to once per turn, I send [Cloud Monster Shower] from my hand to the graveyard and Special Summon the second [Royal Magic Library] from my deck."

A second wall of spellbooks rose behind Amon, increasing the number of monsters on his field to three, at the cost of reducing his hand size to three. However, he then played another spell card.

"I activate the Magic Wand again to equip the Summoner, place a Spell Counter on each of the two Royal Magical Library cards, then remove the three counters from the first Royal Magical Library card to activate its effect, and draw a card from my deck."

"And I activate the second effect of [Magic Wand] again, sending [Summoner Monk] and [Summoner Monk] to the graveyard. I draw two cards from my deck."

"Next, I will pay another 800 Life Points to activate 'Premature Burial', Special Summon 'Summoner Monk' from my Graveyard in Attack Position and equip this card to it. When this card is destroyed, the equipped monster will also be destroyed."

A card was played to revive [Summoner Monk] again. The number of counters on both [Royal Magic Library] cards increased again, and Amon also refreshed the effect of [Summoner Monk] again. "I activate the effect of [Summoner Monk] for the third time. I discard a Spell Card and Special Summon the third [Royal Magic Library] from my Deck."

"Then activate the third [Magic Wand] and equip it to [Summoner Monk]. The number of counters on one [Royal Magic Library] increases to three. Remove it to activate its effect and draw one card from my deck."

"And with the effect of the [Magic Wand], I drew two more cards."

As Amon continued to manipulate the game, managing to gather three copies of "Royal Magic Library" on the field, even the slow-witted Jaden noticed something was amiss: "Is Amon constantly changing his hand? And he's even Special Summoning 'Royal Magic Library,' which has a draw effect, onto the field?"

"This duel style that requires frequent card draws... could it be that card?!" O'Brien's pupils contracted. "【The Sealed Exodia】!?"

Jaden also seemed quite surprised: "But how is that possible? According to the records of Kaiba Corporation and Illusion International, the only person in the world who has successfully collected the real [Exodia] cards is the legendary duelist Yugi Muto's grandfather, right?"

"Even if others have card data, either from the virtual world or they're using pirated cards, how could the Duel Disk not detect fake cards these days? Unless those cards have spirit possession, even fake cards would become readable real ones—"

Suddenly remembering something, Manjou, halfway through his sentence, abruptly looked up at the locked door behind Amon. Moonlight pierced through the mist, illuminating the scene on the ground—above the massive iron gate, the head of "Exodia" was clearly carved! (End of Chapter)
