Is this the world of card dealers? Yada thieves!

"Send six monsters from my deck to the Graveyard: [Inferno Rava], [Inferno Lilith], [Inferno Admirer], [Inferno Baal], [Inferno Belphegor], and [Inferno Asmodeus]!"

Watching Hayato send six cards from his deck to the graveyard with an air of "I'm going to shatter this deck," Blue God's eyes widened and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wait a minute! Didn't you say your deck was 'pure Shaddoll'?!"

"Fool, is it really necessary to separate Shaddoll and Hellfire so much?" Hayato pointed to the sky. "The gods are enraged by what humans have done and intend to unleash a devastating wave of fire! Descend, God of Creation, whose body walks upon the earth!"

"Fusion Summon! [Hellfire Machine - Tiera]!"

Behind Hayato, a colorful yet chilling flame ignited. Although only six fusion materials were used, the phantoms of ten monsters appeared behind Hayato, forming a rebellious Kabbalah Tree of Life shape as they converged on a single point.

As the background music "Wrath of the Gods" played on Hayato's Duel Disk, a giant god with a bull's head and a dragon's body, several times larger than Blue God's [Dark Cube Evil God - Crimson Nova - Trinity], descended!

【Hellfire Machine - Tiera】【11☆/Flame】

[Demon Race/Fusion/Effect]

[3400/3600]

Blue God glanced at the monsters on both sides of the field, and for a moment he was again confused about which one was the one who wanted to destroy the world.

I have a feeling that Kobayashi Hayato's card is ten times, or even nine times, more dangerous than my own [Dark Cube World Evil God]!

Chapter 982 The True God

"When [Hellfire Machine - Tiera] is successfully fused, multiple effects are activated depending on the type of fusion material used."

As Hayato spoke, he took out three cards and sent them to the graveyard. "In cases with three or more types, each player selects three cards from their own Fusion Deck and sends them to the graveyard."

"Then, if there are five or more types, send three cards from the top of both players' decks to the graveyard."

Blue God's Fusion Deck contained no other cards, so he simply drew three cards from the top of his deck. Seeing that they were three [Cube] monsters, he casually sent them to the Graveyard, looked at Hayato, and said contemptuously, "Hmph, boring effect. Although you call them 'gods,' do you think a mere 3400 ATK is worthy of being a match for my [Dark Cube Evil God - Crimson Nova - Trinity]?"

"Ah, I hope you can always maintain this pure and uncorrupted confidence, and not be afraid at all when you see me building graves."

Hayato shrugged and said, "But right now, the cards that were sent to the graveyard because of the effect of [Hellfire Machine - Tierra] are about to activate their effects."

"First, the effects of [Shadowwing Venti] and [Shaddoll Hound], which are sent to the graveyard from the top of my deck, activate when they are sent to the graveyard by card effects, creating a self-exhausted chain: C1 [Shaddoll Hound] C2 [Shaddoll Venti]."

"Activate the effect of [Shadowwing - Venti] to Special Summon one [Shadowdome] monster from my Deck, other than [Shadowwing - Venti], to my field in face-down Defense Position."

The spirit beast user who once wielded the spirit beast "River Pig" has become a member of "Shaddoll". In the form of a phantom, he waved the staff he once used to summon his companions, retrieved a card from the deck, and placed it face down on the field after catching the card. Hayato continued, "Then there is the effect of 'Shaddoll Hound'. Target one monster on the field and change its battle position."

"Does it change the effect of offense and defense? Although it has lost the resistance to the effects of monsters with less than 3000 attack power, the current [Dark Cube World Evil God - Crimson Nova - Trinity] has the resistance to not becoming the target of the opponent's effects."

Blue God arrogantly declared, "Your attempt to change the offensive and defensive forms of [Dark Cube Evil God - Crimson Nova - Trinity] and try to have [Hellfire Machine - Tiera] disrupt His strategy is doomed to failure!"

Hayato shook his head: "No, the effect of [Shadowhound] doesn't just affect the monsters on your field; it can also change the battle position of the monsters on my field."

Another Shaddoll monster, entirely black and purple, appeared. Blue God noticed that this card also had golden armor that looked quite familiar to him. With the example of Shaddoll Lizard before, he quickly remembered that the armor on Shaddoll Hound was exactly the same as that on Sera's Starman Sirius.

The familiar cards reappeared before his eyes in different distorted forms, forcing Ayaka to look at Hayato with a puzzled expression: "What on earth is this...?"

But Hayato couldn't answer Blue God either. Not only did he not know that Sera was using the [Starcraft] deck, but was he supposed to tell Blue God everything that happened in the DT world? He might have that much free time, but Blue God's [Quantum Cube] behind him certainly didn't.

"With the effect of [Shaddoll Hound], I change the face-down monster on the field to face-up Attack Position. Although the effect of [Shaddoll Hound] has the restriction that 'the effects of Flip monsters other than [Shaddoll] monsters cannot be activated,' it cannot affect the monster I flipped over—[Shaddoll Hedgehog].

"In the case of [Shaddoll Hedgehog] flipping over, I add one [Shaddoll] Spell/Trap Card from my Deck to my hand. I choose [Shaddoll Primal Core].

Shaddoll Hedgehog】【3☆/Dark

[Mage Race/Reverse/Effect]

[800/200]

Blue God watched as Hayato retrieved a previously used trap card from his deck and added it to his hand, seemingly unconcerned.

He knew that no matter how powerful the effect of a Trap Card was, its inherent limitation as a Trap Card—that it must be set for one turn before it can be activated—made the card Hayato was currently searching for extremely limited in its effectiveness.

Then, he saw Hayato insert the card he had just retrieved into the Spell & Trap Zone of the Duel Disk, but instead of placing it face down, he activated it face up!?

"Wait a minute! Trap cards need to be set for a turn before they can be activated, right?!" Although Blue God didn't take Hayato's trap card seriously because of [Tyrant's Intimidation], being indifferent to what card was activated was one thing, but letting the other cheat right in front of him was another. "Your card can't be activated—"

"Hmph, this is Kobayashi Hayato's ☆Special☆ Rule! I said it can be activated, so it can be activated!" Hayato said smugly, hands on his hips. However, this wasn't just empty talk; it was because of a card: "During the turn [Executioner - Masura] is sent to the Graveyard, I can activate a Trap Card without setting it!"

"【Executioner - Moshura】? You didn't send that card to the graveyard..." Blue God was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly remembered that of the three cards Hayato had sent from the top of his deck to the graveyard using the effect of 【Inferno Machine - Tierra】, he had only used the effects of two of them.

"Was it around that time, the effect of [Hellfire Machine - Tiera]!?"

Three cards were placed in the graveyard. Not to mention that the effects of [Shadow Spirit Wings - Wendy] and [Shadowhound], which is definitely related to [Starman - Sirius], can actually interact. The third card is also [Executioner - Masura], which can be useful.

Even though it was a blind stacking without knowing the card order, it was as accurate as if he had carefully selected each card in the deck and sent it to the graveyard... Just how many times has Kobayashi Hayato stacked cards in the graveyard? How is he so skilled at it?!

"So the Trap Card [Shadowdome Core] that was just retrieved and added to my hand is activated. After activation, this card becomes an Effect Monster and is Special Summoned to my Monster Zone." Hayato snapped his fingers, seemingly unsure of Ayami's thoughts.

Before him, the core stone that once belonged to a certain brilliant knight appeared on Hayato's field, and from that core stone, an ominous shadow emerged.

[Shadowdow's Primal Core] [9☆/Dark]

[Mage/Trap]

[1450/1950]

Blue God couldn't help but turn his attention to the newly appeared [Shadow's Core]. The fact that it would become a Trap Monster after activation made Blue God subconsciously think of the duel that Yugi Muto had with him, which was supposed to be a training session but ended up being a brutal killing.

However, the Shaddoll Core in front of it doesn't seem as dangerous as those mechanical fortresses that can be embedded with gadgets to increase their power. Although its level of 9☆ is impressive, it's really just a weak monster with an attack power of 1450.

Hayato, who summoned three monsters in this turn without performing a normal summon, nodded in satisfaction and drew a card from his hand, saying, "Now, we have enough offerings to support the descent of 'God'."

"I will Tribute three monsters on my field: Shaddoll Hedgehog, Shaddoll Procore, and Inferno Tyella!"

"Using a monster as a sacrifice?" Blue God asked, puzzled. "Impossible. In duels within the Dark Dimension, Normal Summoning is replaced by Dimensional Summoning. Summoning high-level monsters doesn't require sacrifices. Unless—"

Blue God's pupils contracted, and he stopped mid-sentence as a possibility occurred to him. "Impossible! Didn't the cards of the Three Egyptian Gods disappear along with Pharaoh Atem's soul returning to the Underworld?!"

“That was true originally, but thanks to you, another [Ra] was brought to this dimension.” Hayato glanced at the gold-bordered card in his hand. “An ancient treasure has been transformed into a [sphere]; the past engraved on the stone tablet has become a burning [phoenix]. And then, the memories of another dimension have become the connecting link.”

"We're already so familiar with it, so I won't bother with that tongue-twisting summoning incantation. I choose you, [Rathalos]!"

As he placed the card on the Duel Disk, Ayaka felt an extremely terrifying heat for a moment, and his gaze couldn't help but shift to Hayato's [Hellfire Machine - Tierra], which was wreathed in flames on the field.

No, it wasn't that monster. Although [Hellfire Machine Tiera] had flames on its body, those flames were filled with a chilling cold that devoured everything. Although they could also cause burning pain, they were definitely not the intense heat that Blue God was feeling right now, which was unique to the scorching sun above his head.

Scorching sun? Realizing something was wrong, Lan Shen looked up.

Suddenly, a golden sun appeared on the dome of the sealed seahorse dome, illuminating the earth. Whether it was the powerful [Hellfire Tearah], the weak [Shaddoll Hedgehog], or even the [Shaddoll Procoren] which wasn't even a monster, they all turned into golden particles and rose into the air under the sunlight.

As particles flooded into the surface of the "Sun Wheel," the patterns lit up, radiating an increasingly intense golden light. At the same time, the surface of the sphere cracked, revealing the true nature of the dormant power within!

"The strongest of the 'Three Egyptian Gods,' [Rathalos]!?" Because he was standing on the high platform and very close to the scorching sun, Blue God felt that he could only inhale a lot of hot air with each breath and was somewhat oxygen-deprived. At the same time, his body was also aching from the scorching sun.

Even the Quantum Cube behind Blue God slowed its expansion the moment the Winged Dragon of Ra appeared.

On the other hand, Hayato, standing at the same height as Aogami, felt only the warm sunlight and the warmth that dispelled all the darkness and coldness that had emerged from the dimensional dark side opened by the Quantum Cube. Even Sera behind Hayato received the same treatment because of him.

【Ra's Winged Dragon】【10☆/God】

【Phantom Beast Race】

【？ /？】

"Knowing full well that Ra is the strongest of the 'Three Egyptian Gods,' why did you still use Osiris's Crater... I mean, Sky Dragon, in your duel with Cheng Daozi and San Sui'er?" Hayato said, glancing at Ra's Winged Dragon on the Duel Disk, feeling that something was off.

“The Castle Blade…” Blue God paused, realizing that Hayato was actually referring to Jonouchi and Malik, and said unhappily, “Hmph, do you think I don’t want to use the [Ra's Winged Dragon of Ra]? But I don’t know where I went wrong, the [Ra's Winged Dragon of Ra] that I read from the collective consciousness is problematic.”

"I know that the 'Winged Dragon of Ra' that Pegasus made also doesn't have its effects printed on the card, but it will show text after it's used in a duel. So I forcibly memorized the pronunciation of those words by going through my memory, so that I can use 'Winged Dragon of Ra' without understanding those words."

"But this card won't work. Even if it's used in a duel, no text will appear on its card. In other words, it's just a blank monster that requires three monsters as tributes and has no effect!"

Looking at Hayato with disdain, Aogami said, "Summoning such a weak monster was your biggest mistake, Kobayashi Hayato!"

Upon hearing Blue God's words, Hayato realized that something was missing from the card he had seen for [Ra's Winged Dragon of Ra]. It turned out that the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs that he had never seriously read were not displayed, and that [Ra's Winged Dragon of Ra] did not have either [Normal] or [Effect] listed after the [Phantom Beast] race designation.

But after learning this, Hayato smiled and said, "What? I thought it was something else, like being stimulated by an electric current after using this card, or being devoured by the spirit behind me and turning evil. If that's the case, then I'll just rewrite the card."

With a raised hand, Hayato clenched his fist: "In the name of the sun: the song of the spirits, the great power that governs all things, their lives, their souls, and even their bones!"

"Impossible, what could it be like to just recite a summoning phrase—" Blue God was about to sneer when he saw the card of [Ra's Winged Dragon of Ra] on Hayato's Duel Disk suddenly glow. The previously blank card description area began to display text as Hayato spoke, and the [Ra's Winged Dragon of Ra] in the card art also became much more dynamic.

"Duelists are skilled at using cards, but cards never make duelists. A true duelist is one who can even create their own cards." Hayato raised his hand. "Now that [Ra's Winged Dragon of Ra] has regained its power, its ATK and DEF will be the sum of the stats of the Tribute Monsters!"

[Hellfire Machine - Tiera] [3400/3600]

Shaddoll [800/200]

Shaddoll's Protocore [1450/1950]

【Ra's Winged Dragon】【? /? →5650/5750】

"Attack power of 5650!? Even higher than [Dark Cube Evil God - Crimson Nova - Trinity]?!"

Blue God exclaimed instinctively, then realized the danger, "Wait, what if the [Dark Cube Realm Evil God - Crimson Nova - Trinity] is destroyed!"

"【Dark Cube Evil God - Crimson Nova - Trinity】 has an attack power of 4500 points, but your base score is 4400 points. In a normal duel, you might have another turn, but unfortunately, in your own Dark Dimensional Domain duel, when 【Dark Cube Evil God - Crimson Nova - Trinity】 is destroyed, it will deal more than 4500 points of damage to you, exceeding your base score."

Hayato waved his hand forward, "It's over, Blue God, you've been defeated by the true power of 'God'!"

"【Ra's Winged Dragon】, attack 【Dark Cube God of Evil - Crimson Nova - Trinity】,"

"Divine Flame Cannon!"

Chapter 983 Those who offend Aibo shall be defeated!

The light is roaring, the light is singing, the light is bowing, the light is praying.

The moment the Winged Dragon Ra unleashed its attack, surpassing the limits of dueling in the Dark Dimension, tearing apart the Dark Cube God - Crimson Nova - Trinity, everything before Blue God's eyes was consumed by light.

【Dark Realm Evil God - Crimson Nova - Three Gods in One】 Its invincible might and resistance were useless in the face of pure power. It was easily shattered by the divine flames in an instant and was destroyed after only one round of appearance. The Blue God's memories were also taken back to the past in this light.

As an orphan, he and Sera were taken in by their "adoptive father" and "raised" to adulthood. They ended up on the streets where there was a lot of crime. While other children his age could rely on their parents in their arms, he could only support each other to survive with Sera and other companions.

After failing to steal enough money to satisfy his "foster father's" desires, the irritable and domineering "foster father" simply ordered that everyone go hungry. In their hunger, they told each other lighthearted jokes to distract themselves and find joy in their suffering.

However, their playful antics only fueled the already irritable "adoptive father's" anger, leading him to consider taking his frustration out on these orphaned children. Just as he was about to act, Blue God encountered Shady, who had rescued them from the "adoptive father's" clutches.

At that moment, when Xia Di appeared before them accompanied by starlight descending from the sky, Lan Shen seemed to have felt the same light, that distant and warm glow from the untouchable starry sky.

Looking back now, how did I become so obsessive? In Lord Shadi's teachings, the purpose of "dimensional ascension" should be pure and noble, to bring equal salvation to all mankind. But when did I start to be willing to sacrifice others to complete "dimensional ascension"?

In the light, Blue God saw the most beautiful moment of his past life—after being adopted by Shadi along with Mani, Sera, and others, before Shadi was killed, they sat happily together, receiving Shadi's gentle and kind teachings...

"This is the true light." Facing the oncoming attack, the Blue God seemed like a devout believer witnessing a miracle, reaching out his long-distorted hand to grasp or hold onto something. Tears streamed from the eyes that opened between the cracks in his irregularly shaped, cube-like head. "What...what have I done..."

"boom!"
