Duels should be played with a smile.

It would be even better to print another Blue-Eyed Chaos Dragon, which can kick a seahorse to death for 8000 HP in one kick, that would be really satisfying!

Unfortunately, I can only dream about it.

"I only have two cards in my hand right now, and you only have two cards in your hand too, but that doesn't matter. I'll soon have plenty of resources to deal with you."

"I'll cover one card."

Leyou's heart almost skipped a beat. What the hell? Can't take a beating? He just got the Extraordinary Food and the Mirage Tower, and now he's going to lose his life again?

But unexpectedly, the last card that Seahorse played was not "Cut Off Life".

Instead...

"I activate [Heavenly Treasure Card], and both players draw 6 cards from their hands."

"After witnessing your duel, I clearly realized the importance of the hand cards," Kaiba said calmly, as if explaining why he had this card.

He also took the opportunity to explain why he had previously mentioned "Very Food Plus Mirage".

It also hinted that he might draw a series of cards that replenish resources, including but not limited to Pot of Greed, Angel's Charity, Bitter Choice, and Life-Saving Card.

In short, the card-drawing techniques are fully utilized.

But you used a card from the sky to help me draw cards, aren't you afraid of causing problems?

"I'll set two more cards face down, turn over. Now it's your turn to challenge my god! Let's see if you can defeat my invincible Titan!"

With a Giant Soldier in the front row, three face-down cards and a Magic Sanctuary in the back row, four cards in hand, and 2000 LP, it seems that Seahorse is truly invincible at this moment.

"If you hadn't activated the Heavenly Treasure Card, I really wouldn't have been able to help you, but..."

"My turn! Draw a card!"

With seven cards in hand, if it weren't for the use of the card-loss ritual and the inclusion of counter cards that were temporarily useless, Leyou could honestly say that he didn't know how he could lose.

"Activate the face-down Trap Card [Virtual World], and activate one Field Spell Card from your Deck!"

It's a pity that this deck doesn't include the Happy Bell Cave, otherwise we could have seen the Titans go to jail.

"What I'm going to activate is the [Blessed Church - Ritual Church]!"

With a sudden shift in light and shadow, the area on Leyou's side was covered with a red carpet, and scattered ribbons drifted down from the sky, creating a stark contrast with the overcast sky on the other side, which was filled with dark clouds due to the presence of a deity.

"Activate the Spell Card 'Foolish Burial' from your hand, and send 'Declarer's Sorcerer' from your Deck to the Graveyard."

A shovel appeared out of nowhere and with one shovel, sent the cute girl in the deck to the graveyard.

"Then activate the effect of Ritual Chapel, discard one Spell Card, and add 1 LIGHT Ritual Monster or 1 Ritual Spell Card from your Deck to your hand."

"I choose to add [Cyber ​​Angel - Dagini-] to my hand."

The church bells rang, calling for the arrival of the angels.

"In that instant, my face-down Quick-Play Spell Card, 'The Price of Desire,' was activated!" Kaiba gently pressed the button on his Duel Disk, and a card that hadn't been physically made into a card was flipped over from his field.

"When your opponent adds a card to their hand other than through a normal draw, you can activate this effect to Special Summon 2 Level 4 or lower monsters from your hand."

"I Special Summon the Soul Sword and the Rare Metal Dragon from my hand!"

Seeing two more monsters on his field, Kaiba felt confident of victory.

In order to win, Leyou must defeat the Giant Warrior. When Leyou attacks the Giant Warrior, the Giant Warrior can activate another hidden ability to kill Leyou.

The formula for victory has been completed!

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Swearing an Oath in Blood!

Two more monsters suddenly appeared on the field, and Kaiba immediately activated another face-down card.

"The face-down Trap Card [Blessing of the Holy Spirit] is activated, restoring my LP by 300 times the number of monsters on my field, for a total of 900 points."

[Haima LP: 2000→2900]

There's one card left out of the three face-down cards, and two cards in hand have been used up, but it seems that spending so many resources hasn't had any special effect.

This is the feeling that Haima's actions gave Leyou, or rather, the sense of dislocation that arises from looking at this era with a future perspective.

As time went by, the decks that appeared later were designed to make the most of each card, turning a single card into two or three. This is nothing like the decks we have now, where you can just use a Pot of Greed or a powerful spell when you're out of cards.

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's really extravagant. It makes my heart ache just looking at it. But what I'm going to do next doesn't seem to be any different from what you're doing."

"Another effect of Ritual Chapel is that I return the Foolish Burial and previous Ritual Spell Cards from my Graveyard to the Deck, and Special Summon 1 Fairy-Type LIGHT Monster whose Graveyard Level is the same as the number of Spell Cards I return to the Deck."

"The shaman I sent to the graveyard before happened to be a 2-star, so I can Special Summon him."

The church bells rang again, and in that sacred light, a witch with seven-colored wings and a long robe with gold trim landed on the ground.

[Light - 2-Star - Angel Race - Attack 500 - Defense 300]

She is a witch who guides those who proclaim the highest truths; her arrival often signifies the coming of a supreme being.

However, today's situation seems a little different. The announcers have no intention of going out, and similarly, there are no young ladies wearing stockings or failed-ascension electronic dragons to cause her trouble.

"The effect of the Witcher: When I successfully Special Summon the Witcher, I send the Level 6 monster [Yoyo King] from my Extra Deck to the Graveyard, and the Witcher's Level increases by the same amount until the end of the turn."

"Divine light guides us!"

Drawn by a divine light, the giant tofu block flew out of the Extra Deck and landed on the head of the Witch, bestowing its power upon her.

[Divine Shaman Level: 2→8]

"Having raised your level to such a high level, are you going to perform another ritual summoning?" Seahorse asked calmly, looking at the shaman with six stars above his head.

"Indeed, and more than once."

"Activate the Ritual Spell 'Ritual of the Mechanical Angel' from your hand, and Tribute the Priests on the field to perform a Ritual Summon!"

"In the form of a celestial maiden, I roam the Pure Land of Heaven, cultivating this life to benefit all beings, cultivating the spirit of selflessness to be reborn, and refraining from the five samadhis to attain ultimate bliss! Now, appearing in the world with a mechanical body and the appearance of an angel, I will surely bestow death upon my enemies with the mighty power of demons and gods! Descend! [Electronic Angel - Dagini -]!"

The guiding shaman transforms into a sacrificial offering to welcome the spirits and ignite a purifying fire.

The pure fire is formless and colorless, and no one can perceive its mysteries.

In an instant, the pure fire soared into the sky, transforming into a human form high above, without stirring up a speck of dust.

Holding three sharp blades on his four arms, surrounded by pure fire, he was an electronic angel descending upon the spirits.

[Light - 8-Star - Angel Race - Attack 2700 - Defense 2400]

"Tajini's effect: If this card is Ritual Summoned, you can activate this effect: Your opponent must send 1 monster they control to the Graveyard!"

"The power of ghosts and gods! No one can withstand it!"

Dagini's three sharp blades were pointed at the three monsters on the seahorse field. When the demons descend, a sacrifice is needed to sharpen her weapons!

Without a sacrifice, those three sharp blades might have been pointed at the seahorse himself.

Seahorse reluctantly sent the Soul Sword he had just summoned into the graveyard, his face looking rather grim.

Without those two face cards, Dagini, with 2700 attack power, could have taken him down in one hit without the Titan's Soldier intervening.

"Kaiba, you're lucky. If you hadn't summoned two monsters with your face-down card, you would have lost your Titan Warrior!"

Seeing this, Yugi nodded thoughtfully: "Instead of targeting the gods who can resist most effects, he's targeting the person controlling them. Yugi's thinking is very clear. If he really defeats Kaiba, I must be wary of this method of his..."

Unlike the game, which is figuring out how to deal with this move, the current Kaiba is not only somewhat annoyed but also a little confused.

Although Leyou's words sounded like he was expressing regret for not being able to defeat the Giant Warrior, Kaiba still caught his small gesture of barely letting out a sigh of relief.

Why did he breathe a sigh of relief after the tactics failed? Unless, of course, the initial tactical objective was not what he had initially presented.

If we think about it carefully, there are only two conclusions: either Leyou has other ways to deal with the gods, or he may have seen through the seahorse's intention in summoning those two monsters.

"You, who claim to be from the future, really can't understand the ancient priestly script? I don't think someone who claims to be saving the world would make such a mistake... That means you actually deliberately didn't put the Winged Dragon of Ra in your deck."

"So, do you have a special understanding of the God Cards, or are you simply underestimating me?"

As he thought this, the aura emanating from the seahorse subtly changed. He raised his head and re-examined the God Card, which he considered invincible, and the Titan Warrior, which could bring him victory.

The God Cards... are indeed very powerful, but they are not invincible. It seems I need to reconsider how to use the power of the God Cards.

The colossus, who diligently protected its boss, was completely unaware that it had been silently demoted in its boss's eyes.

"When the Shaman is released, her effect also activates. I can Special Summon 1 Level 2 or lower Fairy monster other than her from my hand or Deck. I Special Summon 'Cyber ​​Egg Angel' from my Deck in Defense Position!"

The sorceress departed, leaving behind her wings of light, which in turn ushered in the arrival of another angel.

Although it looks like an egg with wings, it is indeed an angel.

[Light - 2-Star - Angel Race - Attack 200 - Defense 300]

"Egg Angel's effect: If it is successfully Special Summoned, search for one Cyber ​​Angel Spell Card, [Absolute Ritual of Machine Angel]!"

An egg with green wings split open in the middle, and it spat out a ritual magic card.

"And then, it's time for the ace of my deck to be unleashed!"

When the announcement was made, everyone watching the duel was abuzz with discussion.

"The ace of the deck?! If an 8-star ritual monster isn't his ace, is he going to summon a 10-star monster that's like a god?"

"If that's really the case, then he must be the most powerful Ritual Summoning Duelist in the world, right?"

"There are already few duelists who use ritual summoning, let alone powerful ritual monsters. I'm starting to look forward to seeing what powerful attributes and effects that monster will have!"

Leyou naturally couldn't hear the discussions from all over the world, but the murmurs from the audience below the stage were not concealed; they too were curious about the monster that was about to appear.

The seahorse, on the other hand, sensed an unusual malice.

It seemed like malice was about to take away something precious from him.

"Activate the Ritual Spell 'Absolute Ritual of Machine Angel' from your hand. Once the total Levels become the same as the monster Ritual Summoned, Tribute monsters from your hand or field, or return Fairy or Warrior monsters from your Graveyard to the Deck to perform the Ritual Summon of Cyber ​​Angel monster!"

"I return the Level 5 Warrior-Type monster Cyber ​​Ballet Skirt from my Graveyard to my Deck and perform a Level 5 Ritual Summon!"

"He is the god of dawn, the twin healers, riding a golden warhorse, leading the way to daybreak! Now appearing in the world with a mechanical body and an angelic appearance, he will surely use his compassionate heart to remove all suffering! Descend! [Electro-Angel - Nashadimi -]!"

As dawn broke, the light dispelled the gloom that shrouded the cemetery and brought the girl home.

Guided by the dawn, the two-in-one divine healer merged with the golden warhorse, transforming into a deity named Nashadimi.

It has four eyes, not to admire the scenery, but to witness all suffering; it holds a long whip, not to kill, but to drive away suffering from the world.

[Light - 5-Star - Angel Race - Attack 1000 - Defense 1000]

Compared to the previous two superior gods, when Nassadimi descends, he cannot destroy the opponent's spell/trap cards or monsters.
