Duels should be played with a smile.

"I usually summon [Yata-u]... which is myself in this world."

[Wind · 2★ · Demon · Soul · Attack Power 200]

The last card in the hand landed on the field. Yata-Uru leaped forward and stood next to Chaos Emperor Dragon. At the same time, the monster it had set face-down in the previous turn was flipped over, revealing the Three-Eyed Monster, which can perform a wide search.

Chaos Emperor Dragon, plus any card sent to the graveyard that can search for Yata no Uchiha, this is one of the oldest forbidden tactics.

"If I attack you and you take combat damage, your draw phase will be skipped in the next turn, and without any cards in your hand, you will have no way to resist this despair."

"Enter the battle...and then, celebrate my freedom!"

The Eight-Tailed Crow couldn't wait any longer. Completely oblivious to the smile in Leyou's eyes, it launched an attack on Leyou before Chaos Emperor Dragon and Three-Eyed Monster could react.

"Interesting," Leyou chuckled softly.

He remembered something he had said not long ago.

"Step back! You may only go this far, and you are not to take another step forward!"

"I do not have any cards that can stop you, but as you said, the outcome of this duel was already decided from the beginning!"

In the cemetery, a purple fluffy ball jumped out on its own, temporarily blocking Yata's attack.

"The effect of Cleanse Kuriboh in the Graveyard can be activated by banishing this card from the Graveyard when an opponent's monster declares a direct attack. Draw 1 card from your Deck. If that card is a monster, you can Special Summon that monster. After that, the attack target changes to that monster."

"What?! There are cards like this?"

Hachita-U is like a guy who's never seen the world.

"There are not only graves, but many. Not long before you, a guy used a bunch of graves to block my attacks many times, but in the end he still managed to die."

"I don't need that many graves to deal with you, just one is enough."

The effects of the Eight-Tailed Crow are indeed very powerful, but its physical weakness, which is often overlooked, becomes one of its biggest weaknesses at this time.

With 200 attack points, even one weakling combined couldn't defeat a single rabbit.

"In a true duelist, everything is inevitable! The card I'm going to draw is [The Proclaimer's Sorcerer]!"

The deck answered Leyou's call, and the god of war, who had delivered countless victory declarations for Leyou, descended once again.

"Based on the effect of the Cleanse Chestnut Ball, your target has been changed to the Shaman."

The shaman, who never fought with anyone, had just arrived on the field and hadn't even figured out what was happening when he saw a purple crow flapping its wings and rushing towards him. He instinctively slapped it, sending the crow flying straight into the graveyard.

The sorcerer's attack power... is a whopping 500! Enough to take down 2.5 of them!

"..."

Flying back from the graveyard to the duelist's location, Yata Uchiha fell silent.

"Don't rush, I forgot to mention the effect of the Divine Witch. If she successfully summons two monsters, she can send an Angel monster to the Graveyard. I sent 'Rainbow Declarant' from my Extra Deck to the Graveyard."

"At the same time, trigger the effect of Rainbow Light and search for one Ritual Spell Card, [Sacred Ritual]."

Generally speaking, Rainbow Light searches for Benten or Ultimate Fake Card Meteorite Chosen, but this time is different. This time, the opponent also has a Chaos Emperor Dragon on the field.

The situation developed in a direction that Yata-gu had not expected, and a white-based monster that it had never seen before appeared.

"Rituals... rituals are things nobody wants. If you just use rituals, your fate won't change in the next round!"

"Three-eyed monster, defeat that monster, then Chaos Emperor Dragon, attack directly!"

The witch is cute, but she's not a combatant, so she was easily defeated by the three-eyed monster. Without her shield, the Chaos Emperor Dragon unleashed his attacks on Leyou.

To Leyou's surprise, he actually felt a very faint but real pain.

But it seems... pretty good!

"Hiss... This is getting exciting."

The overly comfortable duels had made him feel somewhat bland, but this long-lost pain made him feel that his duels had gained something more interesting.

Hachita suddenly felt an instinctive fear.

"Entering Main Phase 2, Chaos Emperor Dragon's effect: Pay 1000 LP to clear the board! Return everything to chaos!"

Chaos Emperor Dragon directly overturned the table, sending everything, including himself, to the graveyard, and even leaving behind a wisp of energy that caused further damage to Leyou.

"Great...we can have more...but it seems you don't have a chance anymore."

Leyou felt that her state was very strange, being extremely excited at the same time, while maintaining extreme calmness.

Although he seemed to have lost his rationality, his mind was now incredibly clear.

As the Three-Eyed Monster was sent to the Graveyard, it sent the second Yata-Guru from its deck into Yata-Guru's own hand. With nothing else to do, Yata-Guru had no choice but to end its turn.

If it were before, it might have made a few sarcastic remarks, but now, facing Leyou whose eyes seemed to be burning with a raging fire, it no longer dared to make any rash moves.

"My turn... whether I draw a card or not seems to matter."

Leyou casually placed the Resurrected Chestnut Ball he had drawn on the Duel Disk as a mascot and then rubbed it a few times, intending to leave Yata Uru with an unforgettable memory.

"The effect of [Sacred Ritual] in the Graveyard: banish this card, and search your Deck for the Ritual Monster [Sacred Ritual Girl Tarot Light Priestess]."

With the Ritual Monster in hand, and the Dragonlight Cleverly lying in the Graveyard, a skilled player would have already activated the Speed ​​5 effect for a quick victory.

Meanwhile, Hachita, unaware of what would happen next, was still wondering what kind of tricks this ritual, which even dogs wouldn't play, could possibly have up its sleeve.

"Graveyard Dragon Shining Alpha releases a Ritual Monster from my hand, Special Summons myself, Searches Benten, Is Something Wrong?"

It's a habit to ask this question, because often when you ask it, you either end up getting a bad experience or you get an AutoWin error.

The hand card is an exposed Yata no Uchiha, who has no idea what he is about to face, nor does he know that he has lost the right to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

"Benten effect, search for the second Benten."

"Zeta releases Benten, specially summons himself, searches for the ritual magic [Meteor Shower], and Benten searches for the third Benten."

"Alpha, Zeta stacked, Xyz Summon Fafnir... or you can call him Fafnir."

The appearance of the Xyz Monster surprised Yata again, and because of Leyou's ruthless storytelling without explanation, Yata still didn't understand what had happened. All Yata could see was that Leyou was very skilled at this operation.

"Fafnir's effect, pile up grave beta."

With the bonds in place, you can include any card in your deck. Beta is just in case Yata Utau is excluded, but for now, he can only be used as a special summon point.

"The effect of the ritual magic [Meteor Shower] and the effect of Fafnir, using the super-material Alpha of Fafnir as a sacrifice for the ritual summon, and the ritual summons a Benten from the graveyard."

These are old-fashioned ritual magic cards. They require a hand of cards for the ritual and a certain level as a condition. Once they're used up, they're gone.

The new generation of Ritual Spell Cards allows for direct Graveyard Ritual Spells. There's nothing that can't be summoned using two monsters as materials. Moreover, they can be used after stacking Xyz Spells. Once the monsters are used up, they can be used again the next turn. Ritual Spells can also be recycled after they're used up. The entire system is on a completely different level from the old-school Ritual Spells.

"Then Gamma releases the hand card Benten, specially summons himself, specially summons Beta, and Benten searches for the third Benten."

So far, this has been one of the standard procedures for Longhui Qiao, but soon there will be some differences.

After all, there's a strange card that's also from the Angel race.

"The effect of the Graveyard Shining Spells reduces Beta's ATK by 1000, recycles itself, then the Graveyard Delta Tributes the third Benten from the hand to Special Summon itself, and at the same time reveals the Ritual Spell in the hand, draw 1 card."

"Then... because Benten has been released again, I can search my deck for one LIGHT Fairy-Type monster... the one I want to search for is..."

"【Secret Ritual Power 21 - World】!"

"Zawarudo!"

Suddenly a loud shout startled the stunned Yata-u awake. It was somewhat confused as to why Leyou, who had just been acting like a heartless storyteller, had suddenly become so... indescribable.

In short, it's very strange.

"The world is an invincible monster! The despair you speak of is nothing compared to the world!"

"Use Delta and Beta on the field as link materials to link and summon the Alliance Transport Vehicle!"

"Then, the ritual magic was activated a second time to retrieve the second material of Fafnir and to ritually summon the second Benten from the graveyard."

"Stack two Benten on top of each other to summon a Lady!"

If the normal approach were to use a virtuous woman, she would usually pile on divine light, alien light, or dragon brilliance and cleverness. But this time, it's clearly not the normal approach.

"Remove one material and send the Field Spell Card 'Light Barrier' from your Deck to the Graveyard!"

"For true duelists, everything is inevitable! Even if they aren't, they have to be!"

Chapter Nine: Yu-Gi-Oh! is nothing more than a tool to send people to jail!

"Such skillful use of ritual-related cards, and that smooth and skillful handling of the dragon's radiance...it reminds me of someone."

Among the onlookers, a man who, perhaps due to a shift in the timeline, did not transform into a struggling individual was silently pondering. His attire was quite interesting, resembling a school uniform, but not in a typical monochrome color; it was predominantly black and purple.

Beside the man, another woman in a light blue teacher's uniform also seemed lost in thought. Even though the Ritual Division had been abandoned for a long time, she had studied in the Fusion Division until graduation, and she still missed those days. Now, in the duel before her, she felt a familiar atmosphere.

"In my memory, the only person who liked to mix weird and strange things into Longhui Qiao's food was my former headmaster, right?" Tenjouin Asuka turned her head and asked Caesar beside her.

"He's probably the only one." Caesar nodded slightly. "Among your Ritual Division members, those who use Dragon Radiance Technique are basically limited to the basic Pure Dragon Radiance Technique and the intermediate Divine Light Technique. Anything beyond that..."

"The more advanced ones, before we even had a chance to teach them, that incident happened." Asuka sighed with some disappointment as she picked up where Caesar left off.

If the dimensional upheaval hadn't occurred, perhaps her power as an electronic angel would have reached an even higher level.

Instead of the current situation where Benten is away on business trips every day while the other electronic angels have to fight a difficult battle.

"At present, that person is somewhat similar to the former head of the ritual, but it is still impossible to confirm."

“That’s right…” Asuka nodded. “The headmaster back then didn’t give off such a peaceful vibe.”

While the two were talking, Leyou continued his actions. The crazy storytelling made Yatawu feel that time was going to drag on endlessly, and Yatawu still couldn't figure out what Leyou was trying to do.

What exactly happened? Is this how Yu-Gi-Oh! is played now?

"The summoning condition is two monsters with different card names. I used Lady and Gamma as materials to perform a Link Summon."

"Link 2, [Guard Roadblock Mountain Giant]!"

The Barrier Giant can recycle Field Spell Cards from the Graveyard, but it requires the end of the turn, which is too slow. The purpose of summoning this monster is only to use it as a stepping stone.

Because the Barrier Giant is a Machine-type monster and is Link 2, while there is another Machine-type monster on the Play Field.

As we all know, when there are two or more Machine-type monsters on the field and their combined Link Value is three or more, something terrifying may happen!

"I'll use Fafnir and Barrier Giant on the field as materials for a Link Summon!"

"Link 3! [Phantom Beast Machine: Dawn Goddess Hundred-Headed Dragon]!"

A terrifying monster has descended upon this place, bringing with it 3 tokens. If Leyou is using a "playing dumb" deck, then what follows is a barrage of spells and a field full of monsters.
