Is this the world of card dealers? Yada thieves!

"I'm out of ideas, let's go, game, seahorse!"

Looking like he was racking his brains, Jonouchi finally gave up and shouted in despair.

As the sounds from within the city faded, another voice immediately followed.

"God-Hand-Impact!!"

Unbeknownst to them, the colossus, a single blue figure, had quietly hidden in a blind spot of the floating island of Atlantis, unnoticed by Dartz. Taking advantage of Dartz's attention being drawn to Jonouchi, Obelisk the Titan spread its wings, which were not merely decorative, and unleashed a powerful Rising Dragon Punch that caught Orichalcos off guard. Orichalcos's head flew high, and the energy it had been holding back exploded with a deafening roar!

"boom!"

Could there really be gods who can't fly?

“Obelisk?!” Dartz looked angrily at the blue giant below who had retreated decisively after his successful attack. “It’s useless. Your power has long since become one of the sacrifices to ‘Orichalcos’. Your attacks are ineffective against me!”

Shouting, Dartz urged the giant snake beneath her to attack Obelisk the Tormentor. But another bolt of lightning struck Orichalcos, causing Dartz's attack to falter once more.

"【Osiris's Sky Dragon】!"

Behind Jonouchi on Atlantis, Kaiba and Yugi each held a card above their heads. These were two of the God Cards that had been stolen by Dartz's men and whose power had been sacrificed to the god Orichalcos—[Sky Dragon of Osiris] and [Obelisk the Tormentor].

Previously, Hayato had taken advantage of Rafael and Amelda's absence to challenge Dartz and retrieved three God Cards. However, before Hayato could even begin the duel, Dartz acted faster, sealing them away in another dimension. Now, Hayato has temporarily entrusted two of the cards to Yugi and Kaiba.

The Millennium Puzzle hanging on the game's chest shone with golden light. It was the power of the Millennium Puzzle that supported the two phantom gods in launching an attack on Dartz at the critical moment and averting danger.

However, compared to the power that the gods originally possessed, the dark power provided by the game at this moment was undoubtedly much weaker and could not last long.

Dartz was furious that the two "God Cards," who were no match for him, dared to attack him and prevent him from defeating the three gamers. However, he overlooked one thing—

From the very beginning, Hayato did not act with the three gamers to attack Dartz.

Just as Osiris and Obelisk had completely distracted Dartz, Dartz, who was above Orichalcos, suddenly caught a glimpse of a light behind him out of the corner of his eye.

At this moment, the sky was completely covered by dark clouds controlled by the god "Orichalcos", and there was no chance for the sun to show its face. So where would the sunlight come from?

It was only then that Dartz, who was puzzled, realized that she hadn't noticed where Hayato had gone. She turned around abruptly and saw a sun rising on the sea.

Golden solar flames burned fiercely on the phoenix's body, because its original form had resided in the card "Ra: Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere" and gone to the Spirit World with Hayato, leaving only an empty shell of the "Ra: Winged Dragon of Ra" card in the Human World. Among the three Egyptian God cards, "Ra" is the only one whose power was not absorbed by "Orichalcos".

At this moment, the phoenix spread its wings, and the flames spread and expanded, covering the sky and almost reaching the size of the snake head of the "Orichalcos". Dartz suddenly noticed that at this moment, on the head of the [Ra's Winged Dragon - Phoenix], there was Hayato who had merged with [Ra]!

You didn't expect this, did you, Darz, that I can combine with you too!

"Hayato, what are you doing?!"

Dartz screamed in shock and fear as he watched Ra, in its phoenix form, charge toward him.

But Hayato acted as if he hadn't heard, and simply said to Dartz, "Dartz! You always stand by and watch, manipulating others and reaping the benefits!"

"Unforgivable! Even if it costs me my life, even if it costs me my body, I will not let you go! I will not let you live!"

"Lend me your body, [pull]!"

As if responding to Hayato, the phoenix let out a cry, and the golden light on its body, like the sun, surged once more!

Dartz was astonished to discover that as the Winged Rathalos approached, different colored lights began to illuminate the Orichalcoatl beneath him!

It was none other than Hayato's [Hellfire Machine] monsters! Sometime during the night, these monsters had somehow appeared inside Orichalcos, and were now vying with Dartz for Orichalcos's power, rendering Dartz completely immobile and leaving him only able to face Hayato's attacks!

"Dartz, you would never understand. This is the power of my spirits, my companions, and me working together!"

"Move! 'Orichalcos'!" Dartz shouted frantically as the phoenix drew closer, "'Orichalcos', why aren't you moving!"

"Drink it!!!"

"Ughhhhhh!!!"

Amidst Hayato and Dartz's shouts, Ra's Winged Ra Phoenix collided violently with Orichalcos. The beak, burning with the fire of the sun, pierced Dartz's head. The shattered body of Orichalcos turned into a muddy substance, engulfing both Hayato and Dartz above Ra's head.

Chapter 659 Don't ask me where Chapter 124 went

In the pitch black, a faint light emanated from the [Millennial Wisdom Wheel], providing Hayato with some visibility as he had just opened his eyes.

The first layer consists of Yugi and the others summoning monsters to launch a feint attack. The second layer consists of Jonouchi taunting Yugi and Kaiba summoning the god. The third layer consists of Hayato and [Ra] launching a surprise attack. The fourth layer consists of [Hellfire], which was set up in advance to prevent the attack from missing, and Dartz competing for the power of "Orichalcos".

However, Hayato was actually on the fifth level. His true purpose was to use the [Hellfire Machine] to sever Dartz's connection with "Orichalcos," and then use the [Ra] attack to force Hayato and Dartz into "Orichalcos's" body. The reason for this was—

Hayato walked forward on the muddy ground beneath his feet. The faint light from the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel] he was holding dispelled the darkness in a certain area around him, and several unfamiliar faces appeared before Hayato's eyes.

Dark tentacles extended from the four walls and wrapped around the unconscious people. Hayato didn't recognize these people, but judging from their ancient clothing, they were definitely not modern humans.

The one wearing animal skins is definitely not one of them.

As Hayato continued forward, he saw countless figures bound to their surroundings. Finally, he arrived at an open space and saw Dartz's figure.

“This is inside the body of the god Orichalcos.” Dartz’s gaze seemed unrestricted by the darkness, following Hayato as he approached him. “All the darkness I have gathered over the past ten thousand years, nurtured by the souls, is stored here.”

“If you stand here, you should be able to feel it, the deep-rooted, indelible darkness in the human heart. So Hayato, don’t try to stop me.”

Although Dartz still seemed to have no intention of fighting Hayato, Hayato raised his Duel Disk: "Sorry, Dartz, while you're right that humans are full of flaws and like defective products, the future of humanity should be decided by humanity itself."

"You who want to destroy humanity, I will defeat you, right here!"

As Hayato finished speaking, the Duel Disk unfolded, and the golden light emanating from the Millennium Wisdom Wheel expanded into a ring, clearing away the obstacle between Hayato and Dartz and providing a relatively flat surface.

Looking at Hayato, Dartz remained silent for a while before sighing helplessly, "Why won't even you accept it? Is it because of the nameless pharaoh and his group?"

"Then, I will defeat you, Hayato, and then I will take down the nameless pharaoh and Seth who have affected you, and bring the world back to its end." Dartz also raised his left hand, and a tentacle extended from the side and wrapped around Dartz's arm. When the tentacle retracted, a duel disk was also placed on Dartz's wrist.

Looking at Dartz's deck in the Duel Disk, Hayato frowned, his hair standing on end. For some reason, Dartz's deck gave Hayato a chill, as if he had encountered some terrifying being. Even Dartz's previous deck of "Orichalcos Barrier" had never given Hayato this feeling.

"Duel!" x2

[Hayato: 4000LP, 5 cards in hand]

[Dartz: 4000LP, 5 cards in hand]

"I'll take the first turn! Draw!" Hayato was even faster, drawing five cards to seize the first turn and draw a card. Looking at the powerful monster he had just drawn, Hayato decisively placed it on the Duel Disk and summoned it.

"Defense position summon [Half-Dragon Maid - Laundry Dragon Girl]!"

Okay, this time we're playing the Dragon Maid deck. Who can resist the allure of a cute girl card?

Unlike some players who go to extreme lengths for strength and ruthlessly remove Blue, an important member of the Dragon Maid family, Hayato is playing a pure Dragon Maid deck this time, including Blue in the deck and summoning her in the first turn.

In front of Hayato, Blue, the only designated target of the Duel Monsters, also known as the Half-Dragon Maid - Laundry Dragon Girl, rose from the card with her hands on her hips. Although startled by the dark and terrifying environment around her, Blue quickly realized that she was out to fight, not to do laundry. She pulled out a basket of clothes from behind her and used it as a shield in front of her, while she crouched down behind her with her head in her hands, ready to defend herself.

【Half-Dragon Maid - Laundry Dragon Girl】【2☆/Water】

[Dragon Clan/Effect]

[500/1600]

“If I successfully Summon or Special Summon [Half-Dragon Maid - Laundry Dragon Girl], I activate her effect.” Hayato said, drawing three cards from the top of his deck. “I send these three cards from the top of my deck to the Graveyard.”

After sending the cards to the graveyard, Hayato finally went to see what cards Little Blue had blindly piled up.

The first one, [Pot of Greed]!?

The second image, [The Dead Resurrected]?!

Just looking at the first two cards, Hayato felt his heart stop. You're something else, Blue! You sent two powerful cards to the graveyard without a second thought.

But it doesn't matter, because the third card Little Blue sent to the graveyard is [Disruption Blue]!

"I activate the Spell Card [Planetary Transformation], and add one Field Spell Card from my Deck to my hand." Catching the card automatically retrieved by the Duel Disk, Hayato lifts the Disk to reveal the open Field area. "Heroes have their stage for heroic battles, and weaklings have their hiding places. I activate the Field Spell Card [Disruptive Land]!"

"Once per turn, I can Special Summon a Disruption Monster from my Graveyard by sending one 'Disruption' card from my hand to the Graveyard."

"Send the [Disruption Spell] in my hand to the Graveyard, and Special Summon [Disruption Blue] in Attack Position!"

Looking at the surrounding low-rise buildings and the ugly monster that had appeared on Hayato's field, Dartz raised an eyebrow: "The [Disruption] monster in the graveyard? Is that the card that [Half-Dragon Maid - Laundry Dragon Girl] just sent to the graveyard? I thought you were using the [Half-Dragon Maid] deck, Hayato."

"As everyone knows, [Laundry Dragon Girl] is Little Blue, but who says [Disruption Blue] can't be Little Blue?" Hayato said after placing the [Disruption Blue] card on his field. "Because of the effect of [Disruption Land], as long as I have a [Disruption] monster face-up on my field, the ATK and DEF of all monsters on the field are reversed."

[Half-Dragon Maid - Laundry Dragon Girl] [DEF1600→500]

[Disruption - Blue] [ATK0→1000]

“Then there’s the effect of the [Disruption Magic] card that I just sent to the graveyard. It activates when this card is sent from the hand or field to the graveyard,” Hayato said, drawing three cards from his deck at once. “I’m adding the three cards [Disruption Green], [Disruption Black], and [Disruption Yellow] from my deck to my hand.”

"Next up is the Spell Card [Disruption Modification]. I will reveal the Machine-Type LIGHT Fusion Monster [ABC-Dragon Destroyer] from my Fusion Deck, banish the three [Disruption] monsters from my hand, and Special Summon the three Fusion Materials of [ABC-Dragon Destroyer] from my Deck!"

"Come forth, [A-Assault Core], [B-Destruction Dragon], [C-Crushing Wyvern]!"

Starting with a single [Half-Dragon Maid - Laundry Dragon Girl], Hayato easily summoned five monsters in the first turn, filling his front row to the brim. After all these maneuvers, he still had two cards left in his hand.

[A-Assault Core] [DEF200→1900]

【B-Destroyer Dragon】【ATK1500→1800】

【C-Crushing Pterodactyl】【ATK1200→2000】

At this moment, Hayato had gathered all three Fusion Materials for [ABC-Dragon Destroyer], a monster Dartz had never seen before, on his field. This made Dartz glance at Hayato's remaining two cards. Could there be a [Fusion] among them?

As Dartz expected, after summoning [A-Assault Core], [B-Destroyer Dragon], and [C-Crusher Dragon], Hayato drew another card and was about to play it. However, to Dartz's surprise, as Hayato played the card, [B-Destroyer Dragon], [C-Crusher Winged Dragon], and [Half-Dragon Maid - Laundry Dragon Girl] disappeared from his field!?

"Ughhhhhh!!!"

The mechanical [B-Destroyer Dragon] and [C-Crusher Wyvern] exploded into a pool of blood, which, amidst Little Blue's wails and struggles, was swallowed into a blood pool whose art style bore no resemblance to [Land of Disorder]. At the same time, Hayato held up a card and shouted:

"Human destiny is born from blood. If the future is also full of destruction and bloodshed, then I will use this ultimate embodiment of destiny to surpass it!"

"Level 8, Come On!!"

"The ultimate hero of destiny, [D-hero Blood Demon-D]!!!"

From the pool of blood, a hero who resembled a demon more than a warrior opened his crimson eyes, his demonic wings unfurled, and his right hand, resembling a dragon's head, was revealed.

【D-hero Blood Demon-D】【8☆/Dark】

[Warrior Race/Effect]

【DEF600→1900】

That's right, not only [Disruption] and [ABC], Hayato also included [Blood Demon - D] in his pure [Half-Dragon Maid] deck!

After all, it's widely known that the "D" in [Blood Demon-D] actually stands for "Dragon," so [Blood Demon-D] is also a [Half-Dragon Maid] (confirmed).

"Although [Blood Demon-D] is a Level 8 monster, it cannot be Normal Summoned. It can only be Special Summoned by Tributing three monsters on my field," Hayato explained. "Furthermore, if [B-Destroyer Dragon] and [C-Crusher Wyvern] are sent from the field to the Graveyard, their effects can also be activated!"

"Self-propelled chain, C1 [C-Crushing Wyvern] C2 [B-Destroying Dragon]!"

Hayato retrieved a card from his deck and showed it to Dartz, saying, "Because of the effect of [B-Destroyer Dragon], I added the Union Monster [Metallic Parasite - Mooncloth] to my hand from my deck, and then Special Summoned it using the effect of [C-Crusher Wyvern]."

"Boiling, my blood!"
