Duels should be played with a smile.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Obedience of Heaven' (Anime Version), pay 1000 Life Points, declare the name of one monster card of level 8 or higher, then check your Deck. If that monster exists there, you must give me that card!"

[Haima LP: 5000→4000]

"Without a doubt, the card I want to declare is this!"

"Rathalos!"

Chapter 77 Are you stupid? I forgot to pay off my debts 12/34

Holding the magic card high, the seahorse strutted confidently toward Leyou with a smile on its face.

Then he saw Leyou raise his hand and make a stop gesture.

"Stop!"

"Why did you come this way for no reason? Go back right now!"

"Hmm?" The seahorse stopped in confusion, but instead of going back immediately, it stayed where it was and waited for Leyou's move.

"Hey, don't hesitate, quickly check your deck and then hand over your strongest God Card!"

"After that, I will use your God Card to completely defeat you, and then your God Card will belong to me! Hahahaha!"

Haima's laughter echoed across the tower, reaching the clouds, and his smile was also conveyed to viewers around the world through the live broadcast.

"Wow, that's amazing... someone can actually possess two God Cards!"

"That's incredible! They actually managed to steal their opponent's God Card using that method!"

"He must be the strongest duelist in the world! I've decided, he'll be my idol from now on!"

"Defeating your opponent using their God Card is...so cool! I want to learn this method from now on!"

Well... all I can say is that the impact of seahorses on children all over the world is immeasurable.

"Seeing you laughing so healthily, I almost didn't have the heart to interrupt you," Leyou said softly. "But have you ever considered that there might be a possibility..."

"So... I didn't bring the God Cards at all?"

"...Hahahaha...Huh?!"

Haima froze completely.

Not only was he stunned, but everyone in the audience, except for Philfer, gaped in disbelief.

"He actually didn't use the God Cards in his battles against Kaiba and the God Cards?"

Jonouchi, the only one among the top four without a God Card, is incredibly envious.

You can give him the God Cards you don't want! He wants them!

"Are you insulting me?!" the seahorse shouted. "In a battle between gods, how could you?!"

"Don't get me wrong~" Leyou casually interrupted the seahorse's continued accumulation of anger points. "Have you ever thought about why I don't bring the God Card? Actually, it's because I can't understand what's written on it at all?"

That's the truth; Leyou really couldn't understand what was written on it.

Of course, both Philvo and Ella could understand it, and they could also teach Leyou what was written on it, as well as how to recite the ancient priestly script.

But what does this have to do with Leyou not wanting to include Winged Rathalos in their hand?

After filling in the cards that target the Seahorse, my hand was already a bit cluttered. Moreover, my attitude towards Winged Dragon of Ra was just so-so. Even if Winged Dragon of Ra wouldn't cause trouble while Philvo and Ella were watching, it could still suddenly draw a card like Ley at a crucial moment.

Wait a minute, isn't it a bit too pathetic that a single Phantom God card can only clog your hand?

"Alright, go back. Aren't you ashamed to be standing here?"

"..."

Seahorse walked back without saying a word. His tall figure, paired with a fitted trench coat, made him look like a runway model.

The temperature around him seemed a bit too low.

In some corner of the earth, the child who had previously been shouting that he would idolize the seahorse was now speechless. The feeling of being proven wrong in the blink of an eye made him no longer like the seahorse, and at the same time, he realized that he couldn't be too arrogant.

"But... using someone else's card to defeat someone else seems really pretty good, doesn't it?"

Leaving aside the other incidents, the seahorse, now back in its original position, is like a volcano about to erupt, its calm expression concealing endless rage.

"Since you have chosen to abandon God, then I will let you experience the wrath of God!"

He made his own declaration and then placed another spell card on the Duel Disk.

"I will use your monsters as sacrifices for the descent of the gods!"

"Spell Card [Soul Intertwined] (Anime Version): Target a monster on your field and use it as a Tribute for a Tribute Summon!"

"Since I can't defeat you with your God Cards, I'll use your monsters as fuel for my God Cards!"

A gray soul wave emanated from the card, entangling Ishana on the field. As long as this soul wave exists, Kaiba can use the entangled monster as a tribute for his Monster Summoning.

"Your move certainly took me by surprise, but I'm not without a way to deal with it!"

"Ishna's effect can be activated once per turn when your opponent activates an effect targeting a Cyber ​​Angel Ritual Monster you control. Return 1 Ritual Monster from your Graveyard to your Deck and destroy 1 card your opponent controls."

"I'm returning Benten from my graveyard to my deck. I'll destroy the Bloodthirsty Orc Emperor on your field!"

"Eye of Destruction!"

Entangled by the fluctuations in her soul, Ishana opened her third eye between her brows, and a divine light emanated from it, blasting the monster on the seahorse field into pieces.

"Tch...but it doesn't really matter. It's just one less monster. The final result won't change anything!"

"Now, I will call upon God to come!"

The God Card in Kaiba's hand was raised high, as if sensing the arrival of a god. In the blink of an eye, the sky was covered by dark clouds, and not a ray of sunlight could be seen.

The rumbling thunder seemed like a harbinger of divine punishment, and Kaiba, holding aloft the God Card, now appeared like a true god.

"I offer the spirit of the lamp, the magic lamp, and Ishna as sacrifices!"

"Obelisk, the God of Destruction! Become my absolute god and descend upon my battlefield!"

"With your earth-shaking power, bring me the wine of victory!"

"Summon! Obelisk the Colossus!"

The card carrying the Giant Warrior was slammed onto Kaiba's Duel Disk. The powerful force even sparked several bolts of lightning, and lightning also appeared in the dark clouds in the sky, as if celebrating the arrival of a god.

Its enormous body, wings large enough to cover the entire Duel Tower, and scarlet eyes radiating boundless fighting spirit, along with its fists, are its world-destroying weapons.

This is the god known as the God of Destruction, one of the three Egyptian Gods, the Titan of Obelisk.

"Tsk tsk tsk, to be fair, putting aside the combat power, the special effects are definitely top-notch."

Looking up at that majestic figure, Leyou couldn't help but clap his hands in praise.

"Now, the invincible god has descended, and you no longer have any monsters on your field that can withstand his might!"

Having successfully summoned the god, the seahorse was overjoyed, as if it had found a new love, its eyes brimming with excitement.

"Oh? Is that so? I still have 2 face-down cards on the field and 2 cards in my hand. Why don't you guess how many ways I can survive God's attack?" After glancing at his hand, the invincible Kuriboh did not draw any cards this time, but even so, Leyou still asked Kaiba a soul-searching question with a smile.

"Hmph, if you think your methods can still scare me, you're sorely mistaken!"

"I am not the same person I used to be. Although the God Cards are unaffected by Trap Cards, I will no longer stubbornly attack against your Trap Cards! Moreover, the invincible Titan has power beyond your imagination!"

"I activate the Spell Card [Soul Replenishment] from my hand! Pay 2000 LP to revive Blood Demon King and Lamp Demon from my Graveyard."

[Haima LP: 4000→2000]

Two streams of energy flew out of the seahorse's body, entered the graveyard, and summoned the monsters that had been offered as sacrifices back onto the field.

"I cannot battle during the turn I activate this spell card, but my intention is to defeat you without a fight!"

"Next, you will witness the most powerful force of the Colossus!"

The colossus, towering and immense, gripped the two monsters that had just been summoned back tightly in its claws.

"Offer two sacrificial monsters, and the power of the Giant Warrior will be fully unleashed!"

The monster, which had just gotten up, was immediately absorbed by the Giant Warrior, and now that the Giant Warrior had been replenished with energy, it was ready to unleash its power as the God Card.

"Giant Warrior's special ability! Absorb two monsters, destroy all monsters on the opponent's field, and inflict 4000 damage to the opponent!"

"Leyou! I have won this duel! You will perish with the attack of the Hand of God!"

"GodHandCrush!"

Boundless power converged on the giant's fists, fists powerful enough to shatter the Duel Tower with a single blow, carrying immense wind pressure as they hurtled towards Leyou.

Le You stood tall and smiled calmly at the fist that was much larger than his entire body.

Behind him, a miniature mecha phantom flashed by. In the instant the phantom appeared, the Colossus's fist slowed down slightly, but no one else noticed what happened in that instant.

A punch was thrown, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"The victory has been decided!"

"Solvador Kana! It feels so good to say that!"

"What?!"

As the smoke cleared, a huge stone slab appeared before the seahorse, blocking the giant's fist and preventing it from advancing an inch.

Leyou stood unharmed behind the stone slab.

"If a covered trap card or an opponent's controlled card effect causes you to take damage, that damage is negated, and you recover the negated amount of Life Points."

The stone slab that absorbed the divine blow did not shatter; instead, it converted all the energy and transferred it to Leyou.

[Leyou LP: 4000 → 8000]

"Thank you~"

"Hmph! He only escaped by sheer luck!"

"Without the God Card, you are ultimately no match for my Titan. I will also be wary of your strange and unusual methods!"

"You can't defeat me right now, unless..."

Haima didn't continue, but his implication was clear.

Unless Leyou uses a summoning method that is ahead of its time.

However, it was obvious that Leyou couldn't print cards on the spot like the others, otherwise he really wanted to use Longhui's skill to show Kaiba what a real ceremony was.
