Duels should be played with a smile.

"See that, Seto Kaiba! Your Blue-Eyes White Dragon is a symbol of power! But the incarnation of God will always be the strongest monster!"

"I will defeat you in your proudest spot and make you feel my pain!"

"Set two cards face down, end of turn. Come on, Kaiba, try to overcome the invincible evil god!"

Ameruda was full of confidence. With invincible resistance and invincible attack power, the incarnation of God was, in his eyes, invincible!

Is that all there is to it?

"what?!"

"Is this all you're relying on?"

"My turn, draw a card!"

"If you think you can defeat me now with just a mere false god, you're just dreaming!"

Under the afternoon sun, Seto Kaiba stood proudly, the six cards in his hand the source of his confidence in uttering those words.

"Hmph! I'm fully prepared. While you're preparing, I'll activate two face-down trap cards! [Dragon's Seal Jar]! [Skill Drain]!"

God cards are unaffected by trap card effects, so even the invincible draw strategy is helpless this time.

"All of these combined constitute my great gift to you! This is the power I've gained to exact my revenge on you!"

"It's just a loser barking and howling," the seahorse said impatiently, and began operating the machine.

"【Discount Shopping】: Discard the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in your hand and draw two cards."

"【Dragon Shrine】, send the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and the Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon to the graveyard."

"Dragon Awakening Melody: Discard the [Blue-Eyed Priest] in your hand, and search for 2 Dragon-type monsters with 3000 or more Attack and 2500 or less Defense!"

"Hmph! The weak only complain when they have no power, and then turn their swords against the weaker when they gain power, while the strong prevent tragedy from happening from the very beginning and use their power to change the future!"

"Show me the Blue-Eyes White Dragon! Special Summon Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon!"

The White Dragon can be used as Blue-Eyes White Dragon on the field and in the graveyard, but this is the White Dragon's effect, not an external effect text, so the invincible draw will also negate this.

"The Priest's effect: Return to the Deck and send a White Dragon to the Graveyard to Special Summon a Blue-Eyes from the Graveyard!"

"Then comes the quick-play spell card, [Ultimate Fusion]! Return the Blue-Eyes cards from your hand and field, as well as the White Dragon from your graveyard, to the Deck, and Fusion Summon [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]!"

"Because I have a Blue-Eyes card on the field that I returned to my deck, I can destroy one of your cards. I will destroy your Dragon Jar!"

When Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon appeared, the God Avatar immediately transformed into the Ultimate Dragon form, and its attack power increased to 4501.

"It's nothing but a clumsy imitation!"

"I will sacrifice the ultimate dragon on the field! A summons from the ultimate monster, a dragon of light that will erase everything! Appear! Blue-Eyes Light Dragon!"

The strongest dragon, surpassing even the God Cards, descended and instantly transformed into light, rushing towards the God's incarnation, which had also transformed into a light dragon.

"Unleash the Blue-Eyes Light Dragon and destroy your divine avatar! Shining Nova!"

The invincible light dragon sacrificed itself, easily destroying the god's avatar, which had reverted to its tank form, under Ameluda's incredulous gaze.

"Hmph, you've paid such a high price, and all you've managed to do is deal with the Avatar of God and the Sealing Jar. You only have one card left in your hand! Your death is just around the corner!"

There will be no next round!

"Equip the Spell Card 'Guide to Light'! I have 4 Blue-Eyes monsters in my Graveyard. I Special Summon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and equip this card. During the same Battle Phase, the equipped monster can attack up to the number of Blue-Eyes monsters in my Graveyard!"

"Triple Ultimate Burst!"

Picking up the Orichalcos Barrier and the Evil God Card that had fallen to the ground, Kaiba casually glanced at Ameruda, who lay motionless on the ground, devoid of her soul.

"Nonsense...nothing special."

"To this day, there are still only two opponents worthy of fighting me."

Chapter 147 King of Gaia!

"War? War has never changed."

"The transformation of Haima Group into a game company was to stop contributing to this war that has never changed and will never change."

"I defeated Gosaburo, destroyed him, and inherited his legacy."

"I will atone for his sins in my own way, but I will never let someone as ignorant as you tell me what to do!"

Looking down at the fallen Ameruda, the seahorse continued to explain his thoughts, not caring whether anyone could understand them; he had always been a pragmatist.

"Humans and Duel Monsters both possess endless possibilities and a future that will continue indefinitely. I will absolutely not allow you insects to hinder my progress!"

No one is allowed to stop him from playing cards!

After a "fierce" exchange, the unwell Amelda forced the use of a powerful evil god card. His already weak body was overwhelmed by the powerful impact of the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and he fainted. Fortunately, it was just a minor problem, and after a short rest, Amelda recovered.

This is the official statement from the tournament organizers regarding Ameruda's sudden loss of consciousness during the fight.

Anyway, it just so happens that Ameruda had already found a reason to postpone the match, so it's just right to bring up that reason again now.

The statement that the organizer has the right to interpret the rules of the event is often used in situations like this. Whether you believe it or not, that's how I'm explaining it.

The audience had no objection to this explanation. After all, the dazzling barrier effects, black mist effects, and white light effects were indeed top-notch, and even as viewers, they could feel the intensity of the scene.

Dartz wasn't particularly satisfied with the result. It was good news that Kaiba didn't have the Legendary Dragon, but it was really embarrassing that Amelda lost while holding the Evil God Card.

"Since we don't have the souls of the three legendary duelists, we'll have to fill the gap with the souls of you three musketeers. I hope Raphael and Baron won't disappoint me next."

Dartz glanced back at Ameruda, who was now sealed on the wall of the ritual altar, and then turned and left.

He has located the Duelist King's location using the power of the Orichalcos God. It just so happens that the place is perfect for him to make his move. When the souls of the remaining two duelists are sealed, that will be the moment he announces the arrival of the Orichalcos God to the world!

Without any outside interference, pull the Duel King into the barrier, and then use the power of Orichalcos to broadcast the duel to the whole world, defeating, killing, and stealing the soul of the strongest Duel King in the eyes of all duelists.

What a despairing thing this is!

Dartz can't wait.

Next up was a masked man codenamed ATM. This masked man's disguise skills were quite good; at least he wasn't like that thousand-year-old hostage, who was easily recognized by everyone except for a certain person who was a bit dim-witted.

"That person in the game looks so familiar!"

"Yeah, darling, I feel like his back looks a bit like yours!"

The game in the guest area gave him another jolt; today he truly understood what a woman's intuition meant.

"With so many people in the world, it's not unusual for someone to look a bit like me," the game player chuckled, while secretly hoping that the person on stage wouldn't have any iconic cards in their deck. Otherwise, just thinking about the potential consequences gave him a headache.

Who can stand this!

Backstage at the competition, Leyou looked at the jade crystal on his chest that had started to glow again, his face full of confusion.

A strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart. Following that feeling, Leyou placed his hand on the crystal. A soft light shone, and when he came to his senses, the crystal that had always seemed to be embedded in his chest had turned into a pendant, which he held in his hand.

A string of unknown material strung the crystals together. Holding one end of the string in one hand and releasing it, the crystals naturally dangled down.

It swayed naturally from side to side, drawing arcs in Leyou's eyes.

"hiss..."

Leyou gasped, for as the crystal before him traced arcs, it also left behind streaks of emerald light.

It is not a visual residue, but a real spot of light remaining in the air.

Staring at the crystal pendant swaying from side to side, Leyou suddenly felt a sense of disorientation and dizziness.

When he came to his senses, the crystal pendant had returned to its previous state and was back on his chest.

A sudden, overwhelming sense of emptiness welled up inside Leyou. He instinctively reached out and grabbed at something, but couldn't grasp anything.

"what happened?"

Philvo appeared beside her at some point, looking curiously at the somewhat dejected Leyou.

"I don't know, I just feel like something's missing."

When Leyou looked at Philvo, she felt that she seemed a little different from before.

It seems... that feeling of emptiness from before isn't as intense anymore.

"Hmm?" Philfer frowned and slapped away the hand that was on his body without any mercy. "Whatever you're lacking, it's not me... Of course, if you're just pretending to be profound and taking advantage of the situation, then I can understand you."

This seemingly random grasp happened to land on me, who had been teleported here. Now I need to reassess just how awful this guy's personality really is.

"No way, I wouldn't joke about something like this." Le You shook his head. "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, this is a world where playing cards can solve everything. No matter what the problem is, playing cards will solve it."

"Then you have to find the right people." Seeing that Leyou's expression didn't seem fake, Philvo rolled his eyes at him with amusement. "I think you're just itching to play because you can't play yourself while watching others play cards."

"It's not impossible."

"Hmm... I happen to be free, wanna play a round?"

"Come on, come on!"

He casually picked up a deck of cards from the chronicle, flipped over the top card, and his eyes sharpened. He then flipped over the next four cards as well, and nodded thoughtfully.

His intuition told him that drawing this deck at this time had special significance.

"I think I understand."

"I don't know what happened, but it's good that you understand. But before that, shouldn't we have a duel first?"

As a whispering sprite, it's normal to have a bit of a card game addiction.

"Then let's go!"

"Duel!"

"Duel!"

On the dueling stage, Atm and Raphael drew five cards each, with Raphael, who went first, drawing one more.

"Did you know that there are destinies in the world that no matter what humans do, they cannot resist?"

Atm frowned. He couldn't understand why Raphael had come up and said something so cryptic and unclear.

My disguise today is far more sophisticated than that of the Sixth Master; there's no way Raphael could recognize me.

Moreover, in his memory, Raphael was not like this.

"I only believe in myself, and in the bond between myself and the deck."

“Is that so?” Raphael raised his head and looked directly at the man who had not yet revealed his true face. “Then I hope you are a duelist strong enough, a soul strong enough.”
