Is this the world of card dealers? Yada thieves!

Even now, Hayato is still under the influence of the effect of [Evil God - God's Incarnation], and cannot activate Spell/Trap Cards. The only cards he can use are Monster Cards!

Chapter 1115 Sunrise and Moonset

"Wow, you've actually been suppressed to this extent. You've really got some skills, Moonwalker." Hayato looked at the "egg-like" Moonwalker who had reverted to his original form on the field, tapped the [AtoZ] on his Duel Disk, and said, "Since things have come to this, I have no choice but to abandon my old friend once again!"

"The second effect of [AtoZ-Dragon Annihilation Cannon] banishes all [AtoZ] cards on my field, and targets one [ABC-Dragon Annihilator] and one [XYZ-Dragon Cannon] banished by me." Hayato took two cards from his pocket and placed them on the Duel Disk, saying, "Special Summon those monsters!"

"[ABC], [XYZ], Best Match!"

Despite shouting "Best Match," Hayato's AtoZ-Dragon Annihilator began to disintegrate, breaking down from its six-in-one three-headed mechanical dragon form into numerous parts and reassembling them back into their previous forms. The ABC-Dragon Annihilator and the XYZ-Dragon Cannon returned to Hayato's field once again.

【ABC-Dragon Annihilator】【ATK3000】

【XYZ-Dragon Cannon】【ATK2800】

"Can [XYZ] destroy cards at the cost of your hand an unlimited number of times, and [ABC] have the ability to banish them?" Looking at the two monsters on Hayato's field, Tenma Tsukiyuki frowned and said, "But even if I disassemble [AtoZ-Dragon Annihilation Cannon] into its original form before combining these two, it still can't do anything to the monsters on my field, right?"

"【Dawn of the Fallen Angel - Lucifer】grants my Fairy-Type monsters the resistance to being targeted by my opponent's effects, which means that neither the effects of 【ABC】 nor 【XYZ】 can affect my 【Fallen Angel - Tescat Riboka】 or 【Dawn of the Fallen Angel - Lucifer】."

“Besides that, destruction and exclusion effects are ineffective against ‘gods’. The only way to defeat ‘gods’ is through fair and square combat.” After a pause, Tianma Yuexing continued, “However, the [Evil God - Avatar of God] that I control has the power to gain an absolute advantage in battle, making it inherently invincible!”

Even though the "Three Evil Gods" are not like the "Three Egyptian Gods" or the "Three Egyptian Gods," who were once dwelling on a stone slab and later made into cards because of their special powers, but were merely "evil gods" created by Pegasus, who created the "Three Egyptian Gods," out of fear of their power, just as Hayato possesses "divine talent" in the dueling field and Kaiba in the field of technology, Pegasus also has a special talent in card creation. Even the cards he created later still possess a trace of "divine" power.

Trap cards are completely ineffective, spell cards used in the current turn can only have a slight effect for one turn, and the effects of monsters with a level lower than "God" cannot affect God. Furthermore, neither spells nor monsters can be destroyed or banished, and all effects that remove them from the field can interfere with "God" in the slightest. This is the nobility of "God".

With one exception, the only exception—

After Special Summoning [ABC-Dragon Destroyer] and [XYZ-Dragon Cannon], Hayato tapped his forehead: "To be honest, I originally wanted to use this 'pure [Disruption] deck' with 'slightly' added support cards to duel until the end, but three things made me change my mind."

“First, what you just said has made me a little concerned, and it makes me want to defeat you as soon as possible.” After holding up three fingers, Hayato said, then withdrew one of them. “Second, your deck is already a mix of [Fallen Angel], [Agent] and 'Three Evil Gods', so I have to bring out something different to return the favor. That’s called reciprocity.”

"And, thirdly..."

Hayato withdrew two fingers and pointed at the [Evil God - God's Avatar] on the Pegasus Moonwalk field: "You just said that the 'Evil God' was comparing to which 'Phantom God'? Pegasus actually used a mere resemblance in form to compare it to [Ra]. I can't pretend I didn't hear that."

"Using the effect of [Earth Dragon - Trace Dragon] in my hand, I send it and the EARTH monster [Dark Knight - Gaia] in my hand to the Graveyard to activate this effect. Special Summon [Rock Dragon - Rust Dragon] from my Deck!"

Even without the aid of Spell/Trap Cards, Hayato easily summoned a powerful monster from his deck. [Earth Dragon - Trace Dragon] appeared on his field and, after absorbing the power of another EARTH monster, [Dark Knight - Gaia], rapidly expanded its body at an explosive speed.

Covered in oxidized metal pillars, the enormous [Rusty Dragon] stood before Hayato!

[Rock Dragon - Rust Dragon] [7 stars/land]

[Dragon Clan/Effect]

[1600/3000]

"The 'Rock Dragon - Rust Dragon' Special Summoned by the effect of 'Earth Dragon - Trace Dragon' cannot attack, but I originally intended to use it as a Tribute for a Tribute Summon." Hayato said, brushing his hand through his bangs, his hair standing on end as if it had been sprayed with hair gel. "I'll use the three monsters on my field as Tributes. Since it's the ultimate, strongest evil god, then let the most benevolent, virtuous, supreme, and powerful ultimate phantom god show you what 'Puwa' truly means!"

"I will Tribute Summon my three monsters on the field—[Rock Dragon - Rust Dragon], [ABC - Dragon Annihilator], and [XYZ - Dragon Cannon]—too long to mention, but in short, prostrate yourselves before me and sing praises to my greatness and radiant glory!"

"【Ra's Winged Dragon】!"

The three-bodied monsters on Hayato's field transformed into burning flames that converged into one place. Golden light emanated from the flames, and a "sun wheel" descended upon Hayato's head in welcome by this light. The golden radiance instantly dispelled the power of the [Evil God - Avatar of God] surrounding Pegasus Gekko, making it almost impossible for Pegasus Gekko to see anything.

Even so, he forced his eyes open and tried to look at Hayato's figure behind the "sun" light.

As always, he didn't properly recite the "ancient incantation" written in ancient Egyptian priestly script that should be recited when summoning [Ra], but the fact that Hayato took the initiative to summon her was enough to command [Ra's Winged Dragon]. The golden "sun" began to transform from a spherical shape into a golden dragon falcon with broad wings overlooking the sky and earth!

【Ra's Winged Dragon】【10☆/God】

[Phantom Beast Race/Effect]

【？ /？】

"I am omnipotent on earth, all things and phenomena are in my hands!" Hayato smiled as he stretched out his hand and made a grasping motion in front of him. "[Ra] is the manifestation of the power of the sun and the gathering of the power of all things. Her attack and defense values ​​will be the sum of the attack and defense values ​​of the offerings released during the superior summoning!"

The phantoms of the three monsters, [Rock Dragon - Rust Dragon], [ABC - Dragon Annihilator], and [XYZ - Dragon Cannon], appeared behind Hayato, then shattered and disappeared. Meanwhile, [Ra's Winged Dragon] absorbed their power and concentrated it on itself, causing its power to surge!

【Ra's Winged Dragon】【? /? →7400/8400】

Without needing any other cards, the "God Cards" are already the final blow, and among the "Three Egyptian Gods," the highest-ranking "God," Ra's Winged Dragon, boasts a whopping 7400 ATK on its own, more than double that of the Duel Monster's only designated ATK unit, Blue-Eyes White Dragon!

The practice time was two... The attack power of the Winged Dragon Rathalos, which is equivalent to two and a half Blue-Eyes White Dragons, was enough to suppress ordinary duelists with weak willpower, making them tremble and almost want to run away, even if they forced themselves to continue fighting. It would be difficult to maintain the courage to persevere and the ability to think normally.

However, upon seeing the appearance of the Winged Dragon Ra, the expression on Pegasus Moonwalker's face was neither panic nor surprise, but rather an expression of uncontrollable joy and excitement.

"This is awesome! This is exactly what I wanted to see!" With an uncontrollable expression of joy, Tenma Tsukiyuki laughed like a hero-loving frog from the future, his eyes wide with excitement, not wanting to miss a single second of seeing Hayato and the Winged Dragon of Ra. "This is the Hayato I admire!"

"By concentrating the power of his monsters to unleash an even more dazzling light, his magnificent figure is unforgettable after just one glance! I can't help but exclaim again, 'This is amazing! This is exactly what I wanted to see!'"

"As expected, Mr. Hayato, you share the same thoughts as me, don't you? Concentrating resources on Domino City to strengthen the duelists here will greatly increase the possibility of a 'god' emerging here who can rival you!"

Hayato raised an eyebrow: "Are you mistaken about something? [Ra's Winged Dragon] is not something like your so-called 'New Duel City'. Her power does come from other monsters, but the monsters that entered the graveyard for the birth of 'God' all voluntarily offered their lives to me, while your plan is based on plundered resources."

“From this fundamental point on, no matter how grand your goal may be, you have already embarked on the wrong path, Yuexing.”

Upon hearing Hayato's words, Tenma Tsukiyuki remained silent for a moment. Instead of directly responding to Hayato, he changed the subject, looking at his own monster, [Evil God - Avatar of God], and said, "Even if [Ra's Winged Dragon of Ra] is the strongest 'god,' it still needs to abide by the basic rules of Duel Monsters and cannot inflict battle damage by attacking a monster in defense position."

"And because of the appearance of [Ra's Winged Dragon of Ra] and its becoming the monster with the highest attack power on the field, the attack and defense values ​​of [Evil God - God's Incarnation] have been changed!"

Facing Hayato's [Ra's Winged Dragon] on the field, Pegasus Moonwalker's [Evil God - God's Incarnation] on the field changed its form once again. From its original "egg-shaped" form, it grew limbs with sharp claws and wide wings. Its tail extended behind it, and its head also turned into the shape of a dragon falcon. It was almost a recolored version of [Ra's Winged Dragon]!

However, compared to the "electroplated version" of the golden [Ra's Winged Dragon], the Winged Dragon transformed by [Evil God - Avatar of God] failed to imitate that charm and looked somewhat plasticky, but its stats were by no means inferior.

[Evil God - Incarnation of God] [4001/4001→7401/7401]

"Roar, you saw that I summoned 'God' and instead of running away, you continued to imitate 'God' and try to fight against Him?"

Hayato spread his arms and said, “Courage is commendable, but that’s all there is to it. No matter how bright the moonlight is, it’s just the afterglow of sunlight borrowed from the sun; it’s ultimately just an imitation. Compared to the desolate moon, the sun’s greatness lies in its ability to illuminate even dust!”

"Pay me 1000 Life Points to activate the effect of [Ra's Winged Dragon of Ra], change its form to 'God Phoenix' form, and destroy all monsters on your opponent's field, ignoring their resistances!"

Slaves submit to soldiers, soldiers submit to kings, kings submit to even more powerful kings, and even mystery fails before a greater mystery. The only exception to the invincible resistance of "gods" is that they can be killed before a more powerful "god." Only a stronger "god" can surpass "gods," and [Ra's Winged Dragon], as the ace of the world's strongest man—Hayato—is naturally the world's strongest "god"!

[Hayato Kobayashi: 4000→3000LP]

Hayato's power manifested as raging flames that adhered to Ra's Winged Dragon. Bathed in Hayato's power, Ra's Winged Dragon instantly transformed into a gigantic firebird, grumbling as it surveyed everything on the ground.

Ra's Winged Dragon of Ra has three modes: normal form, spherical form, and phoenix form. Among these three modes, the spherical form may be the most useful, but in terms of power, the form Ra's Winged Dragon of Ra - Phoenix is ​​the strongest at this moment.

Even without making any movement, the sudden surge in temperature alone was enough to burn the [Evil God - Avatar of God] on the Pegasus Moonwalk field back to its original "preserved egg" form. Then, the scorching sun fire quickly spread to its entire body, burning the arrogant [Evil God - Avatar of God] to ashes!

Even the card 【Evil God - Incarnation of God】 on the Pegasus Moonwalk Duel Disk was ignited out of thin air and turned to ashes in the blink of an eye. When faced with an existence that dared to touch and defile its majesty as a "god", 【Ra's Winged Dragon】 displayed a suffocating aura like the midday sun. Of course, it was a different story in front of Hayato, after all, the sun also sets.

Even the [Evil God - Avatar of God] could only last for a moment, not to mention the other two monsters on Pegasus Moonwalker's field. The [Fallen Angels] were bathed in the sun and turned back into light. After they dissipated, Pegasus Moonwalker's field was completely clear. [Ra's Winged Dragon] stared straight at Pegasus Moonwalker.

—Why do the emperors of Atlantis, the human incarnations of the Great Evil God, and the descendants of the tomb-guarding clan all seem to love surrounding Hayato so much? And those people are one thing, but how come a mere mortal dares to pester Hayato like that? He even dares to produce a counterfeit that he can't even imitate properly.

Eat my sun's fire—

"Take it easy when you strike, [Ra]." Hayato casually remarked, instantly diminishing the sense of threat that the phoenix-like [Ra's Winged Dragon] posed to Pegasus Moonwalker. Unaware that he had almost met the same fate as [Evil God - Avatar of God], Pegasus Moonwalker only saw Hayato raise his hand and snap his fingers:

"Entering the battle phase, [Ra's Winged Dragon] launches a direct attack."

"Divine Flame Cannon!"

Chapter 1116

[Pegasus Moon Journey: 250LP→0]

As expected, Pegasus Moonwalker, with no cards on the field and no cards in his hand, was defeated by the attack of [Ra's Winged Dragon]. After all, his life points were already hanging by a thread and would be gone at any moment, and there was no powerful graveyard like [Super Electromagnetic Turtle] that could force the end of the battle phase.

Originally, facing the power of [Ra's Winged Dragon], it was impossible for Pegasus Moonwalker to escape unscathed. However, Hayato's warning before [Ra] attacked seemed to have really worked. [Ra] actively restrained the actual damage caused by its attack, and in the end, it only knocked Pegasus Moonwalker away and made him fall to the ground, almost completely unharmed.

However, the suffocating heat and suffocation accompanied the attack of the Winged Dragon of Ra as it was injected into Pegasus Moonwalker's body. Despite not being injured, he was in an extremely painful state and unable to get up.

—After all, Hayato only told [Ra] to hold back and not kill Pegasus Gekko. Although Pegasus Gekko wasn't harmed, it didn't stop [Ra's Winged Dragon of Ra] from slightly punishing Pegasus Gekko who was bothering Hayato.

At the same time, due to the attack of [Ra's Winged Dragon], it seemed that the signal blockade was also burned to ashes. The moment Hayato finished the duel, his phone rang. Hearing the ringtone he had set, "Wrath of God", Hayato knew that it was Kaiba calling.

"Hmph, looks like you've caught the guy who caused trouble in Domino City?" Sure enough, Kaiba's voice came through the phone when Hayato answered. It seemed that the blocked "air loop" was transmitting the scene around Hayato back to the headquarters building. After a brief pause, Kaiba said coldly, "It's Pegasus Gekko? Hmph, it's Pegasus again."

"First it was him, then his two adopted sons, and they all wanted to drag the Kaiba Group into it. That second-rate duelist with a third-rate deck is really annoying!"

Hayato understood why Kaiba would associate Pegasus with this, given Pegasus's numerous accusations: plotting against Kaiba and Keihei in Duel Kingdom to seize the Kaiba Corporation and the Virtual Projection System; Pegasus's unauthorized occupation of the Kaiba Corporation branch in Egypt; and the recent appearance of "New Gluth" in Domino City, all of which could be linked to Pegasus.

Although he had almost gotten used to saying "Unforgivable Pegasus" every day, Hayato still shook his head and said, "You're wrong this time, Seth. Pegasus really has nothing to do with what Tenma Tsukiko did. At most, it's just that Tenma Tsukiko misappropriated the resources of the International Illusion Society in Domino City."

"In that case, that guy also bears some responsibility for inadequate supervision. After all that, it turns out that the person who finally revived 'New Gurus' was Pegasus's adopted son, and the resources and influence he used came from the International Illusion Society and were in Pegasus's name. Unforgivable, Pegasus!"

Kaiba's displeasure was understandable, because of Pegasus Moonwalk's actions, Domino City had been plagued by one problem after another. To make matters worse, Kaiba had turned the city's officials into useless cowards who only knew how to call for backup no matter what happened. As a result, Kaiba had been so busy dealing with various disputes in the city lately, such as the attack on a training institution and the closure of a card shop that he had no time to play cards!

"Since Pegasus is the culprit, putting aside the facts, doesn't his International Illusion Society bear any responsibility? In that case, as the largest shareholder of the International Illusion Society—"

"After going around in circles, just say you want to play cards." Hayato rolled his eyes. He knew that Kaiba could see the expression on his face through "Aerial Recurve". "Since Tenma Gekko is the leader of 'New Gurus' and I have already defeated him, it will be quick to capture the remaining remnants."

"Anyway, I don't have anything urgent to do, so it's fine to play a game of cards with you before leaving Domino City. It'll be over soon anyway, right?"

Seeing Hayato's smiling face on the monitor, Kaiba couldn't stand such provocation. He immediately retorted: "Hmph, I wonder who was careless last time and had their entire field wiped out by my invincible Blue-Eyes Light Dragon, and even their Life Points were reduced to a mere 100 points by Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon."

"Just tell me who will win in the end?"

"..." Kaiba answered Hayato with silence, then stubbornly said, "When dueling monsters, the process is more important than the result!"

"But what I, Kobayashi Hayato, need is results, domination, and victory. You mere Seth, do you dare defy the invincible Kobayashi Hayato?"

"If you're so capable, then remove that [Super Polymerization] card from your deck!"

Kaiba can accept many things, including that he cannot defeat Hayato for the time being, and that even if he tries hard, he can only maintain the gap between them and cannot get closer. However, Kaiba firmly believes that one day he will definitely be able to take the glory of victory from Hayato. He has great confidence in his Blue Eyes card and a card he recently completed to surprise Hayato.

He could accept that Hayato's deck was full of cards like "Fusion Dispel" and "Divine Shield - Mirror Power" to target him. After all, it's a duel, and scheming is normal. Kaiba even included cards like "Hellfire" and "Eraser Trap" in his deck to deal with Hayato's favorite finishing move, "Spirit Exophysis".

However, he cannot accept using a non-chainable "Super Polymerization" to NTR his own monsters, turning them into "Five Divine Dragons", "Hungry Poison Fusion Dragon", or "Swamp Mud Dragon King"!

However, when Hayato heard Kaiba mention "Hyperfusion," he thought of fusion and recalled what Pegasus Gekko said before he was defeated. He seemed to have mentioned a collaborator.

"Wait a minute about the card game. I need to confirm something with that guy over there who's still sticking his butt out." With a swaggering gait, Hayato approached Tenma Tsukiyuki and looked down at him.

Saying he was "bent over" was obviously a joke. Although Pegasus Moonwalker was still unable to move due to the power of the Winged Dragon of Ra, he was at least not paralyzed and unable to move. During the time Hayato was on the phone with Kaiba, he had already gotten up and sat against the wall.

Looking up at Hayato, Tenma Gekko's breathing was still somewhat heavy. Even without any substantial damage, the residual divine power within him made him feel that his breathing was extremely hot, to the point that he had a faint burning sensation and a feeling of suffocation.

But he still managed to catch his breath and said with difficulty to Hayato, "As expected... I still lost to you, Mr. Hayato..."

"Huh? You can still speak clearly? I thought you wouldn't be able to say a word anymore."

Hayato was well aware of the potent substance that Ra's Winged Dragon had injected into Pegasus Gekiyuki's body during the previous attack. As instructed, Ra's Winged Dragon had not endangered Pegasus Gekiyuki's life, but this current ordeal would last for a month or so, giving him an unforgettable lesson. "You're quite something, aren't you?"

"Are you referring to my ability to endure physical pain, or to the capabilities I demonstrated in our duel?"

Tenma Yuexing's gaze fell on Hayato, only to see Hayato turn his head to look at the horizon, replying, "Probably both. I was almost defeated by the set of cards you pulled out."

Looking at Hayato's profile, Tenma Tsukiyuki instantly lost his will to persevere, and dejectedly lowered his head, saying, "...That's a lie, isn't it?"
