Is this the world of card dealers? Yada thieves!

"Sink into oblivion! The attack of [Sin - True Dragon]!!"

Paradox, who was completely ignorant of the rules of Duel Monsters, had no intention of calling out the move names, or perhaps the move name of [Sin-True Dragon] was actually "[Sin-True Dragon]'s Attack". In any case, under Paradox's command, a large amount of ominous black mist appeared in front of his literal "lower body" - [Sin-True Dragon].

The mist transformed from an illusion into reality, and what appeared before the [True Dragon of Sin] were raindrops of steel nails. As soon as they solidified, they attacked the [Super Magic Swordsman - Dark Paladin]!

"Hmph, this is the time for the hero to step in! After all, the protagonist should appear in times of crisis!"

Hayato, who had been playing OMO for a long time, stepped forward and stood next to the game, arrogantly saying, "Even if I have to fight against the evil ban list, I, Hayato Kobayashi, am still invincible in the world!"

"Let me show you the darkest and most profound existence in Duel Monsters! Come forth, I, the invincible Tamashii!"

Hayato played a card from his hand: "Kuribo, save me!"

Faced with a rain of steel nails, the helpless Rainbow Kuriboh manifested itself through a light screen, its expression seemingly saying, "This is a real headache, I just can't do anything with you."

"When the opponent's monster declares an attack, I equip the attacking monster with 'Rainbow Kuriboh' from my hand. The monster equipped with 'Rainbow Kuriboh' will be deprived of its ability to attack!" Hayato said smugly, arms crossed. "Even though 'Sin - True Dragon' has gained the ability to be unaffected by spell and trap effects, it cannot be immune to monster effects."

"Do you dare disobey me, the one who possesses the Rainbow Kuriboh!?"

"Oh, oh, oh, well done, Hayato-san!" Jaden cheered from behind, while weakly complaining, "But speaking of which, it really is the 'Curibo saves me' trick after all."

"Hayato, you really do have the Rainbow Kuriboh stuck to your hand, don't you? You always manage to draw it during a crisis," Yugi said to Hayato with a smile, standing to the side.

Hayato also turned to look at Yugi: "Do you have the right to talk to me like that? Don't you always use Kuriboh to take the hit?"

Yusei listened to what the others were saying and fell silent.

Jaden's Winged Kuriboh, Yugi's Kuriboh, and Hayato's Rainbow Kuriboh—why are they all using Kuriboh cards? I do have a Junk Kuriboh, but everyone else is using it while I'm not. Should I just leave the group?

"Damn it, it's the invincible [Rainbow Kuriboh]! If it's equipped with this card, my [Sin - True Dragon] won't be able to attack anymore, that's terrible—"

Paradox's tense expression vanished instantly, replaced by a disdainful look. "Yeah, right!"

"Hayato Kobayashi, as the Duel King, although you have left behind the most card usage data in history, making it difficult for people to figure out what decks you use, there are a few cards that have been circulating in your many decks for a long time."

"【Psychic Exophysis】, 【Change of Heart】, 【Mysterious Chinese Pot】, and 【Rainbow Chestnut Ball】, do you think I wouldn't be on guard against you?!"

Paradox triumphantly played a card from his hand: "By chaining the effect of Rainbow Kuriboh to Sin - True Dragon, I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card Changeable Tailor to transfer Rainbow Kuriboh, which is considered an Equip Card, to another monster that is the correct target. I choose Dark Paladin, the Super Magician Swordsman!"

"In this way, the attack of [Sin-True Dragon] will continue!"

[Rainbow Kuriboh] was forcibly transferred to [Super Magic Swordsman - Dark Paladin] under the influence of Paradox's [Changeable Tailor] effect. Without the protection of the Rainbow Veil, the dense steel spikes fell again. Although [Super Magic Swordsman - Dark Paladin] tried his best to dodge and block with his agile skills, unfortunately, he was eventually hit by several steel spikes and pierced through his neck.

【游戏→隼人：600→300LP，手卡0→5→4】

"Then, the effect of [Sin - True Dragon] activates!"

Paradox pointed to the sky, and the power of [Sin-True Dragon] gathered into a dark sphere in his hand. He looked down arrogantly and said, "This duel is destined to continue until one of us is gone."

"Having witnessed human history and seen through humanity's unchanging nature over thousands of years, which has only become more stubborn and worse, I, just as you do not believe in my methods, do not believe in your dreams and constraints!"

"Your future is in your own hands. I will create a brand new future with my own hands. You can all be crushed into mincemeat here!!"

Paradox threw the ball in his hand, aiming it at Hayato's Dark Magician Girl on the field.

"boom!!"

Chapter 502 Such a rare normal move name

"boom!!"

Seeing that the attack he had personally thrown had indeed detonated on the field where Kobayashi Hayato and his team were, the powerful impact stirred up the dust piled up on the ground, turning it into smoke that enveloped the field. As time passed, Paradox confirmed from the dissipating smoke that the field where Kobayashi Hayato and his team were located was indeed empty.

It seems that the effect of [Sin - True Dragon] has indeed destroyed [Dark Magician Girl] from the field.

"Yada, it's finally over." Paradox looked down at the ground with a calm expression, neither sad nor happy.

He was not a selfish person who destroyed Duel Monsters out of personal desire; what drove him to act from beginning to end was the greater good of saving the world.

Yugi Muto, Jaden Yuki, Yusei Fudo, and Hayato Kobayashi are all legendary duelists who have left behind glorious deeds in history. Paradox actually admires their will to protect their world.

Paradox would not have attacked them if it weren't for the conflict of their positions, and even now, killing Hayato Kobayashi and the others because of their conflicting positions would not bring Paradox any joy.

This is a necessary sacrifice for the greater good of saving the world.

Whether it's the lives of Hayato Kobayashi and the others, or even one's own...

Paradox lowered his head and looked at his body, which had become one with the [Sin-True Dragon].

Paradox, who was a psychic duelist in his previous life, inherited this power through a composite artificial body, which is why many things in his duels transformed from illusions into physical entities.

For example, the true damage inflicted on Paradox's opponent, or Paradox's earlier act of "sacrificing half his body."

Paradox has now truly lost half of his body in order to summon the [Sin-True Dragon].

"The legendary duelists have finally fallen into the hands of my [Sin-True Dragon], and I have become inhuman as well." Paradox clenched his fist, feeling the power within him.

"[Sin] Monster, the time-traveling 'Truth', and the [Sin-True Dragon] Powder!"

“This proves that my salvation of the world is on the absolutely correct and true path!” Paradox looked at the clock not far away, which was less than ten minutes away from the originally scheduled arrival time of 12:00.

“Z-one, Apollia, Antinomi, though the distance of time and space separates us, I can feel your will standing with mine as I stand here.” Paradox gazed resolutely into the sky, waiting for Pegasus’s helicopter to arrive. “I will take your place and save the future of this world!”

Suddenly, a voice rang out and entered Paradox's ears: "Yare yare da zei."

"What?!" Paradox looked down in surprise again, peering into the smoke and dust. "That voice is!"

"That was a close call. If it weren't for the card the game covered, we might have really lost." Hayato's figure gradually emerged from the dust, a confident smile on his face. "Don't think you can defeat us so easily, Paradox."

"By chaining the effect of [Sin - True Dragon], I activated the card I set face down, [Subspace Matter Transfer Device], banishing [Dark Magician Girl] from my field until the end of this turn."

"If there are no monsters that can be destroyed, the effect damage of [Sin - True Dragon] will naturally not occur."

[Hayato Kobayashi: 300LP]

"Tch, their vitality is incredibly tenacious." Paradox gritted his teeth, looking quite angry. "They've only survived one more round, what can they possibly achieve?"

"I have a [Sin-True Dragon] with 5000 attack power on my field, and my life points are more than 1000% of yours. Your efforts are nothing more than the futile, death struggle of a fish caught on the shore, wasting its oxygen!"

"I'll set a card face down, and my turn ends here. But in the next turn, your doomed fate will still remain unchanged!"

Paradox: 5150LP, 0 cards in hand

[Sin - True Dragon] [ATK4200→5000]

[Sin - Domain] [GaiKa]

【Sin - World】

"Then, at the end of your turn, Special Summon Dark Magician Girl, who was banished due to the effect of [Subspace Matter Transfer Device], back to the field."

As Hayato finished speaking, [Dark Magician Girl] reappeared on the field, patting her chest as if she was still in shock, seemingly terrified by her near-death experience.

Although [Dark Magician Girl] has very alluring moves and a great figure, unfortunately, all five people present are emotionless card players who are not interested in women and only care about dueling.

Dark Magician Girl: ATK 2000 → 2300

When it was Hayato's turn, he didn't rush to draw a card, but instead glanced at the cards in his hand.

The deck includes the spell cards [Mining of Magic Stones], [Magic Wand], [Concentrated Current], and one spell card of unknown significance. Including the [Rainbow Kuriboh] he used earlier, Hayato started with a truly "perfect" hand. In a 1v1 solo match, a starting hand like this would only lead to certain defeat, as there's simply no way to develop the game.

However, this duel is a 4 vs 1 multi-player rotating duel. What would be a terrible starting hand in other situations is now a truly "perfect hand". Moreover, he is only missing one card that can win the game, so Hayato is confident of victory.

"To decide the outcome, I'm missing a crucial card in my hand that can seal the victory, and whether I can draw that card is the key to this duel."

"However, true duelists can even decide their own draw; I'm directly guaranteed to draw one card!"

Hayato raised his right hand, which he used to draw cards, above his head with his five fingers spread wide, as if he wanted to hold the whole world in his hand.

"Open up, future circuit that illuminates my path, this is the beginning of my world! My future!"

"My turn, draw a card!"

Hayato drew the card at the top of the deck, and what followed was an intense, suffocating heat that enveloped the area even before the battle began, as if the sun had fallen to earth!

"Ya☆da☆zei! With that, the equation for victory is complete!" Hayato glanced at the 10-star monster he had drawn, a smirk playing on his lips. "Now, I activate my Equip Spell Card, [Magic Wand]. This card can only be equipped to a Spellcaster monster, increasing the equipped monster's ATK by 500!"

"I bestow this powerful equipment upon you, [Dark Magician Girl]!"

"Ok?"

The bewildered Dark Magician Girl was suddenly hit on the head and discovered that it was a magic wand that had fallen from the sky, and it looked stronger than the one she used before.

Paradox looked disdainfully at the Dark Magician Girl who, despite the wand looking familiar, had foolishly switched to the [Miracle Wand]: "It only increases attack power by 500 points. You think you can defeat my [Sin-True Dragon] with something so simple? You're far from it!"

【Dark Magician Girl】(Magic Wand)【ATK 2300→2800】

Yusei and Jaden also found Hayato's decision to equip the Magic Wand on Dark Magician Girl a bit odd. Yugi, however, immediately recalled what Hayato had done in Duel Kingdom: "Hayato, you wouldn't be thinking of... again, would you?"

"Since you've accepted my gift, then in return, offer your life as a reward, [Dark Magician Girl]!" Hayato's face was solemn, but unfortunately, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up. "Send [Dark Magician Girl] equipped with [Magic Wand] to the Graveyard, and I'll draw two cards from my deck!"

"Ah?"

The bewildered Dark Magician Girl only then realized that the wand in her hand was the card Hayato had taken from Yugi during Duel Kingdom, equipped it, and sent it to the graveyard!

Unfortunately, it's too late.

[Dark Magician Girl] was teleported to an unknown location by the power of the [Magic Wand], while Hayato drew two cards.

They are [Dark Knight - Gaia] and [Spiritual Exophysis].

Although I finally managed to draw a monster card, it's a pity that even [Gaia] can only serve as one part of my next move.

Hayato turned his head and glanced at Yusei behind him: "Yusei, lend me your power for a moment, that card in your graveyard."

"That card?" Yusei recalled his graveyard, then nodded to Hayato. "Use it, Hayato!"

"Okay, then, I'll activate the effect of the [Rush Soldier] in my Graveyard, banishing it myself, and then add a [Synchro] monster from my Graveyard to my hand. I choose [Junk Synchron]!"

Light gathered in Hayato's hands, and the long-lost figure of the "Charge Warrior," which Yusei had previously abandoned to enhance the attack power of the "Scrap Warrior," reappeared, bringing the "Scrap Synchron" into Hayato's hands.

After catching the card [Scrap Synchron], Hayato did not add it to his hand. Instead, he sent it to the graveyard along with [Dark Knight Gaia]: "I activate the Spell Card [Spellstone Excavation], sending two cards from my hand to the graveyard. Then I can choose one Spell Card from the graveyard to recycle and add to my hand."

"I've chosen the Spell Card [Thief]. Judai!"

"Okay, go for it, Mr. Hayato!" Jaden took a card from his Duel Disk graveyard and tossed it to Hayato. "Let him see the power of the Duel King!"

Catching Jaden's card, Hayato played it and activated: "Then, I activate the Spell Card 'Thief' that I added to my hand. This card's effect is to temporarily steal one card from the opponent's Graveyard and use it. Paradox, you should know which card I'm going to choose, right?"

"Masaka, is that Stardust Dragon? Tch, trying to help Yusei Fudo retrieve his monster?" Paradox scoffed. "No way, Stardust Dragon is a crucial force in completing my plan!"

"Chain [Thief], I activate the face-down card [Call of the Dead] to revive [Stardust Dragon] in defense position from my graveyard. This means you won't have many options to steal from my graveyard, and I also gain insurance against card effects."

Stardust Dragon】【DEF2000

Although the [Sin-True Dragon] seems very powerful in many ways, it is still a [Sin] monster at its core, and the lifeblood of a [Sin] monster is always the [Sin-World].
