Is this the world of card dealers? Yada thieves!

The other leaders also spoke one by one:

"With us as sacrifices, the strongest monster that cannot be destroyed in battle—the Five Divine Dragons—has been resurrected!"

"You cannot leave this world without defeating him, Seto Kaiba!"

"Haima Group is ours now!"

Yugi smiled dismissively: "Although it is powerful, the Five Divine Dragons cannot be considered an invincible Duel Monster."

"Come forth, [Dark Magician], and then [Thousand Blades]!"

The figure of the Dark Mage appeared before the game, waving his staff forward, conjuring countless small knives that rushed towards the Five Divine Dragons. But to the game's surprise, the thousand knives shattered instantly upon impact with the Five Divine Dragons!?

Even the [Dark Magician] summoned in the game suddenly collapsed to his knees in agony, unable to move.

"What happened?!" Jonouchi exclaimed in surprise. The Five Divine Dragons hadn't made a single move, so how did the Dark Magician collapse on his own?

"Look at the ground! It says 'Dragon Ruler' on the ground!" Hayato pointed out. "There's a barrier here too!"

"As expected of the Duel King, your observation skills are truly sharp," said [Five Divine Dragons]. "Within this barrier that absolutely cannot be removed from the field or negated, Dragon-Type monsters are unaffected by the effects of other cards, and only Dragon-Type monsters can be fielded!"

"In other words, the strongest dragon race—the Five Divine Dragons—are absolute gods in this world! They cannot be defeated!"

Yugi withdrew [Dark Magician] and looked firmly at [Five Divine Dragons]: "In Duel Monsters, there is absolutely no monster that cannot be defeated! Even if it's a god, we will defeat it!"

Yugi, Hayato, Kaiba, Mai, and Jonouchi all shouted in unison, "Duel!"

Blue-Eyes White Dragon

【Red-Eyed Black Dragon】

The Harpy's Pet Dragon

[Armed Dragon LV10]

【Cursed Dragon】

The five dragons stood facing off against the five divine dragons!

Chapter 202 The Final Sword

"A bunch of self-important brats!"

A wind blade struck, and Peacock Dance's [Harpy's Pet Dragon] immediately met it, blasting away the airflow with an air cannon: "Although you're saying I'm young, it's none of your business to judge my age, you old geezer!"

"How dare you challenge us, you ignorant and arrogant!"

The water cannon was neutralized by the flames, and the [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] inside the castle roared in response, "You think everyone is like you, old man!"

"Unforgivable!"

The breath of darkness collided with the torrent of light, and Kaiba coldly said, "Useless anger, obediently perish before [Blue Eyes]!"

"Die!"

"Damn you!" The flames were neutralized by the fire, and Yugi managed to block the fire dragon's attack with the help of the two monsters, [City Guardian Wyvern] and [Cursed Dragon].

"Kneel down before us!"

Mud bombs came flying, but were cut by the sharp blades on the Armored Dragon. Hayato made his final declaration: "Our fate is in our own hands!"

"Roar!"

All the dragons present roared in unison, their aura terrifying!

However, Hayato was well aware that the lineup before them was no match for the incarnations of the Five Elders—the Five Divine Dragons.

Don't be fooled by the fact that all five attacks launched by the Five Divine Dragons were blocked by Hayato and his monsters; it was simply because the Five Divine Dragons had separated its five heads.

Like Hayato and the others, the five elders were entering this game for the first time and were using themselves as sacrifices to control the dragon bodies of the Five Divine Dragons. They had no experience in how to coordinate their attacks, which is why the situation just now occurred. It would be terrible if they learned how to unleash the full power of the Five Divine Dragons.

However, Jonouchi seemed to have misunderstood the situation. After Red-Eyes successfully suppressed the attack of one of the dragon heads, he summoned Baby Dragon and shouted, "Yosh! Press the attack!"

His two dragon monsters simultaneously targeted the water-attribute dragon head of the Five Divine Dragons. Red-Eyes held off the attack, while Baby Dragon delivered the fatal blow, destroying the water-attribute dragon head instantly.

—Is that all?

To Jonouchi's astonishment, the water-attribute faucet that had just been destroyed by the [Baby Dragon] suddenly regenerated at lightning speed, as if time had reversed. Before he could react, it bit the [Baby Dragon] to pieces!

"How is this possible?!"

Seemingly quite satisfied with the expression on Jonouchi's face, the water-attribute dragon head, Konosuke Oshita, proudly explained: "【Five Divine Dragons】is the strongest dueling monster designed based on the Hydra, the nine-headed serpent from Greek mythology. It possesses the strongest immortality in the world; if you cut off one head, two more will grow back!"

"While you won't be destroyed, you'll face our powerful attacks!" said Ōtaki Shuzo, the wind-attribute dragon head. Although he was a penguin enthusiast, he suddenly thought that dragons' bodies weren't bad either. "Die, you brats!"

The wind and water dragons began to attack together, and a high-pressure water jet came. In just a moment of contact, it destroyed the Harpy Mai's pet dragon and attacked the two people it was protecting, Mai and Keihei!

"Danger!" At this moment, all of Hayato, Yugi, and Kaiba's monsters were restrained by the remaining dragon heads. Jonouchi realized that only his Red-Eyes was able to help Mai and Keipi in time.

However, at the same time, Jonouchi also noticed that his health points were running low.

From the moment you enter the DM online game, everyone starts with 4000 basic points as life points. However, unlike the basic points which reset at the start of each duel, these 4000 life points do not regenerate after the battle ends. Having already experienced so many battles, and considering the damage from the destruction of [Baby Dragon], if Jonouchi takes this attack, his basic points will likely be reduced to zero.

Despite the fear of the unknown after his base score was reduced to zero, Jonouchi's body moved without thinking, standing in front of Mai and Keihei, shouting loudly, "Red-Eyes!"

Completely synchronized with the controller's movements, Red-Eyes blocked the incoming water blade, taking all its power.

Meanwhile, Mai, standing behind the castle, stared blankly at the back of the figure blocking her way.

Slightly hunched over in pain, Jonouchi sighed and looked at Mai behind him: "Don't push yourself..."

"You're the one who's showing off, aren't you?" Kong Quewu subconsciously wanted to retort, but found herself unable to utter a word.

"Jonnouchi!" Jonnouchi heard Yugi calling him, but unfortunately, when he turned around, he no longer had the strength to speak. Seeing Yugi's worried gaze, he gave a wry smile and simply raised a thumb.

"Sorry everyone, I might need to rest for a bit. The rest is up to you..."

Just like Elru who vanished in the hands of the game, Jonouchi's body turned into golden specks of light and disappeared.

"Damn it!" Hayato's anger was beyond quelling. He summoned another monster from his deck. "Go, [Gaia], ride Yugi's [Cursed Dragon]!"

Bearing the wrath of its master, [Dragon Knight Gaia] destroyed the wind-attribute dragon's head with its lance under the cover of [Armed Dragon LV10].

"That guy Jonouchi!" The death of Jonouchi and the fact that Keihei was almost attacked enraged Kaiba. Following Hayato's example, he summoned the remaining two Blue-Eyes cards in his deck and activated Fusion.

As soon as the invincible Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon appeared, three "Destruction Explosion Gale Bullets" were launched towards the water-type dragon's head.

However, just as Jonouchi had done, even though most of his body was smashed to pieces, in the blink of an eye, the Five Divine Dragons returned to their original form, completely unharmed.

"That's it, Seto Kaiba, that angry expression, that look of wanting to kill us!"

"But that's not enough; such expressions alone are insufficient to vent the hatred in our hearts!"

"Try to be even angrier, Seto Kaiba!"

While Hayato and Kaiba were attacking the other two dragon heads, the remaining three dragon heads locked onto Keihei, and a lava beam flew towards him. Yugi tried to use the [Defending Wyvern] to participate in the defense, but it was all in vain; the endless heat engulfed the location where Keihei was standing.

However, before the lava hit, Mai threw Keihei out of there and took the direct hit herself.

"This game is way too unfriendly to hair." Dissipating into particles, Mai looked at the [Five Divine Dragons] ahead. "Hey, Yugi, Hayato! Avenge me and Jonouchi!"

"dance!"

As his companions fell one after another, Wang Yang's face was filled with coldness as he glared at the Five Divine Dragons: "You scum who wantonly take the lives of others!"

"Hmph, in this world, we are the rules!" The Five Divine Dragons, annihilated by the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon's attack and reborn, spoke arrogantly. Yugi and the others' relentless attacks only resulted in the Five Divine Dragons' repeated resurrection. Moreover, with each resurrection, the five elders became increasingly adept at using this body.

No longer suppressing his anger, Yugi's face turned ashen as he activated the card in his hand: "Then, I'll defeat you using the rules of this world!"

"【The Ritual of Chaos】! Become a legendary warrior, 【Gaia】!"

"Then, fuse the Chaos Warrior and the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon on the field!"

Kaiba was both shocked and furious, turning back to look at Yugi: "What?! You dare use my [Blue Eyes]?!"

Hayato had the same expression: "What?! Why did you release my Tamashi?!"

However, the five dragons controlled by the five elders looked at the Chaos Warrior riding the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon with a surprised expression: "No, impossible, what's with that monster?!"

"That level of oppression, that threat of death!?"

"The Five Divine Dragons shouldn't be destroyed by monsters with the Dark, Earth, Water, Fire, or Wind attributes!"

"Our plan should be flawless!"

"We're doomed! We're doomed!"

The warriors from the mountains will defeat the dragon that rules the world, and in accordance with this legend, the [Ultimate Dragon Knight] appeared.

"【Ultimate Dragon Knight】is a legendary hero who will inherit everything from his companions and vanquish the evil dragon!" Yugi, showing no mercy as he looked at the five elders' ugly behavior, waved his hand and ordered, "Every dragon on my field will increase 【Ultimate Dragon Knight】's attack power by 500 points!"

"Deadly strike! Dragon Ascension Sword!"

The hero, standing atop the ultimate white dragon head, raised his sword, gazing at the immense power converging upon it, and single-mindedly swung it down.

A single stroke, dazzling and indistinct, cuts away all phenomena.

After that world-opening sword strike, the Five Divine Dragons and the surrounding space instantly turned to ashes and vanished. Yugi, Hayato, Kaiba, and Keibei plummeted downwards...

Chapter 203 Transfer Student

It was another beautiful morning. Hayato sat up in bed, reached out and pressed the remote control, causing the curtains to open automatically and letting sunlight into the room. Seeing the real sun appear on the horizon, Hayato felt incredibly relaxed. He reached for a blank card on the bedside table and channeled dark power into it.

Last night, after defeating the five elders who had transformed into the Five Dragons, they completed the game and were teleported back to the Kingdom of Corlando. There, they reunited with Princess Mary.

Because Hayato and his friends defeated the Five Divine Dragons and saved the world, Princess Mary, to thank them, revealed her true form—the Duel Monster, the Holy Spirit—while Kaiba was "shocked for a whole year."

Under the influence of a mysterious spell that science cannot explain but magic can, Jonouchi and Mai, who had previously sacrificed themselves, are both resurrected.

A perfect ending. Not only within the game, but also outside of it.

Because they merged their characters into the Five Divine Dragons within the game, the Five Elders gained bodies that were virtually indestructible. However, as everyone knows, immortality is a kind of curse. After the Ultimate Dragon Knight instantly killed the Five Divine Dragons, the Five Elders were also affected, their consciousness trapped within the game.

I don't know about the other Hayatos, but Kaiba was laughing loudly on the phone with Keipai.

As Kaiba regained control of the Kaiba Group, which had almost changed hands, Hayato and the others woke up in their game pods. And unsurprisingly, the person in the fifth game pod next to them was Mai.

When Yugi retrieved his deck, he was surprised to find that it had 41 cards instead of the original 40. The extra card was [Heart Key Fairy]. Hayato, who could also see card spirits, saw that Elru, with whom Yugi had formed a bond in the DM online game, was residing in this card.

Yugi wasn't the only one who obtained the card from DM. Hayato also found the card he got from the Nazca Lines in the system's [Warehouse] and discovered a strange property—a card spirit seemed to be sleeping inside this blank card and would unconsciously absorb dark energy.

Hayato didn't have much else. The dark power left in his body by the Millennium Eye hadn't been completely used up, and he'd also collected a lot more when he defeated Pegasus. Sealing it into something else would be a waste, so Hayato simply poured some dark energy into this card whenever he had free time, hoping to awaken the card spirit inside.

After a quick wash, Hayato prepared to head to school. Although he and Yugi were now Duel Kings and could easily make a fortune if they wanted to take on endorsements or similar deals, he still needed to attend school.
