Duels should be played with a smile.

If I put this card in my deck and then use the effect of the card "Stage Rotation" to send it to the opponent, will I be able to fast-forward to AutoWin?

After all, since the explosive armor is always precisely destroyed, the Orichalcos barrier must be a losing proposition for whoever uses it, right?

Picking up the emerald pendant that the small fish had dropped, Leyou felt a sense of displeasure. The brilliance of the emerald was somewhat similar to that of the crystal on his chest, but looking at the emerald, Leyou could only think that it was a inferior creation.

Instinctively reject.

According to the anime's setting, the power of Orichalcos isn't something everyone can use. Less skilled people need to rely on the power of this gem to use it. More skilled people can even use similar gems to directly break through an activated Orichalcos barrier and pull out a screw with one hand, a time-traveling tribute to Krabs.

Orichalcos's barrier is quite powerful in a certain sense, since it allows unacknowledged people to use God Cards at will. Of course, for Leyou, this effect and the attack boost are secondary. The main thing is that the 10 monster slots will make storytellers ecstatic, and they will no longer have to worry about running out of slots due to poor maneuvering when telling the story of Ryuten Shining. I believe many people have done this.

Holding the card and gem in his hand, Leyou slowly walked out of the alley, only to be called back again shortly afterward.

"Leyou? What are you doing here?"

The familiar quartet—Yugi, Jonouchi, Kyoko, and Honda—was walking towards Leyu from half a street away.

What are you doing here?

"Oh, you didn't come with us before. Yesterday, Miss Isis told us that an Egyptian artifact she bought abroad is scheduled to be sent to a museum today. It might be related to the memories of another version of me. She invited us to go and see it when we have time. We happen to be free today, so we arranged to go together. Do you want to come with us?"

"Artifacts? Haven't we already collected all the ancient artifacts?"

Now, Leyou has all three God Cards and six Millennium Artifacts in his hands, just to see if he can catch any big fish. But then something new appears here.

“It’s not a Millennium Artifact. Miss Isis only said that she acquired it from a conglomerate called ‘Paladis.’ We’ll have to wait until we arrive to find out the specifics.”

"Let's go take a look together."

Judging from the expressions of the other players, they didn't seem to be bothered by Orichalcos's forces, the Doma organization. However, the situation with Isis puzzled Leyou.

After all, the plot of archaeologists unearthing something extraordinary and then triggering a series of subsequent events is a well-worn trope—Tomb Raider and Uncharted are specifically criticized for their constant attempts at cultural relic protection, which ultimately result in collapses wherever they go.

The group walked towards the museum together, and shortly after they left, three men with hairstyles that suggested they were fairly good at playing cards appeared in the alley they had just left.

"This Duel King is indeed a bit strange. He can use the power of Pokémon so skillfully. If it weren't for the power of Orichalcos, we would have been discovered."

These three were none other than the Three Musketeers of Dorma, the three guys in the original story who, lacking any martial ethics, bullied the thousand-year-old hostages and forcibly stole their cards.

If Grandpa's card hadn't been thrown into the sea by insects and moths, let alone these three people, even thirty more wouldn't have been enough for Grandpa to fight!

"It's not just the power of the elves, but that terrifying deck that's the biggest problem right now. As long as he uses that terrifying deck, we have no chance of taking the God Cards from him. Even with the Orichalcos Barrier, we still can't defeat that invincible power."

Baron is the most normal-looking of the three musketeers. His focus is naturally similar to most of them, on that deck.

Rafael, the calmest but also the most stubborn of the three musketeers, first nodded in agreement with Baron's statement, then immediately offered a new perspective.

"According to our investigation, he rarely uses a regular deck to fight against others. We don't know if it's because of arrogance or something else, but even in the finals of Duel City, he never used his full strength."

"The reason he used that deck just now, based on my guess, is most likely because he was provoked and switched to this deck. Otherwise, he would most likely have used some... acrobatic decks."

To be honest, after reading Leyou's dueling records, Rafael really didn't know how to describe Leyou's dueling style; he could only make out a few things.

"This guy is strong, but also weak. He is strong because he is familiar with many decks and has a strong control over duels. Many of his opponents are outmaneuvered by him from the beginning and follow his plan step by step. In the end, they are unexpectedly overturned by him despite seemingly having a big advantage."

"But that's also his weakness. He seems to enjoy it, so the decks he uses are just the right strength."

“So…” Ameruda, the last of the Three Musketeers, nodded and pondered, “If we act weak enough when facing him, he will bring out an equally weak deck? Then we can go all out and defeat him in one fell swoop?”

Of the three present, only Rafael truly wanted to eliminate Raku. The other two had ulterior motives, but their selfish desires were thwarted for various reasons. Baron fell instantly in love with Mai, but the elusive woman, like the wind, was elusive, having already found someone she loved. Amelda went to find Pegasus, only to discover that Pegasus wasn't at the International Illusion Company at all; his true target, Seto Kaiba, was hiding inside the company.

Fortunately, he didn't come away empty-handed. At least he got three cards from Pegasus that could counter the Egyptian God cards, one for each of them.

"Isn't this method a bit too cowardly and insidious?" Baron, who liked to confront others head-on, asked hesitantly.

Unsurprisingly, his hesitation drew questioning glances from the other two, so he had no choice but to surrender.

"Don't be bound by methods; everything is for the god Orichalcos! For Lord Dartz!"

Rafiru, the leader, started shouting slogans, so the other two couldn't remain indifferent and had to join in.

If someone were to pass by this alley at this moment, they would likely witness this unique corporate culture.

……

At the museum entrance, a group of people waited for Isis's arrival. Because the artifact was "very precious," the visit had to be conducted with Isis's accompaniment—that was the official explanation.

While waiting, Leyou looked in one direction of the museum, his head full of question marks.

Kid, do you have this many scenes in DM?

Leyou's movements were probably a bit too exaggerated, which caught the attention of the others, and they all followed Leyou's gaze.

Then, Kyoko rushed over immediately, cupped Judai's tender little face and started rubbing it—a child's face is really easy to rub, if you haven't tried it, I suggest you do it, but please don't do anything illegal.

This action made Leyou's heart race. He had every reason to believe that Ubel would appear in the next second and give Kyoko, this ungrateful old woman who casually approached Judai, a sudden and fierce attack.

Fortunately, this didn't happen, probably because both the game and Leyou were present; otherwise, the outcome would have been hard to predict.

What are you doing here? Where are your parents?

It's strange, though. Leyou has met Judai several times, but he hasn't really met Judai's parents much. It's as if the parents aren't worried about their child getting lost at all.

"I'm out having fun! I'm with Huber, so it'll be fine! Oh, and this too!"

Little Judai clumsily pulled a card holder from his pants pocket, took out a card, and handed it to Leyou.

"Look! This is my new partner! My new friend! He told me that as long as he's around, I can make lots and lots of friends!"

Upon hearing the word "friend," Leyou's heart skipped a beat. At a glance, he saw the purple border and the large area of ​​black in the middle of the card image—oh wow, it really is you, Friend Hero.

It's only been a short time since you gave the Masked Transformation to Jaden, and you've already printed Dark Claw? Your card-printing speed is even more outrageous than Kaiba's! I can only say that you truly deserve to be the only protagonist with "Yu" in his surname; everything about you is ridiculously unique.

Besides, are you sure you'll make more friends by using this card to play cards with others?

"Keep this card safe. When you're playing with friends, try not to use it, otherwise..."

"I know!" Before Leyou could finish speaking, Jaden interrupted, putting Dark Claw back into his deck and pulling out another card with a large blue and white area in the center. "He told me after he came out that I shouldn't believe Dark Claw, but big brother, aren't they my friends? Why are their stories different?"

"Well... this is a difficult question for me to explain to you. In short, you should listen to Absolute Zero's advice first. Generally speaking, you should listen to his opinions more, then Hubert, and finally Dark Claw."

Zero isn't some masked hero. You've already taken it out, so is there any acid or anything printed on it?

It seems like Xinyuxia might not get a chance to work anymore. Does this mean we should congratulate Xinkongjian on closing down in advance?

"I understand!" Jaden nodded obediently and put the card away. His adorable appearance made people want to pat his head.

"Are you here to have fun too, big brothers and big sisters?"

"We've come here to..."

"We're here to visit the cultural relics."

Isis, who arrived late, quietly came over and answered Jaden's question on behalf of Leyu.

It has to be said that Jaden was really lovable when he was little. At least looking at Isis, you can't help but feel maternal love.

You know what, Wang Gu and Dark Claw are actually quite a good match, especially when it comes to manipulating people's mentality.

"Sorry I'm late. I've finished taking care of the chores now. Shall we go straight over?"

Isis wasn't surprised at all that Leyou was here, or rather, she wouldn't be surprised no matter where Leyou appeared now. According to her guess, she would see Leyou in many things in the future—it was a woman's intuition.

Even though Leyouren was here, Isis still asked for the game's opinion first, since this thing was more closely related to the Pharaoh.

Yami Yugi logged in immediately and made his statement. The group, guided by Isis, then arrived at the exhibition room for the newly unearthed artifact, including Jaden.

Of the people present, one was the Pharaoh, another was the Overlord, and it seemed that only Leyou, the Duel King, was the least valuable.

However, Leyou also believes that with these 2.5 kings standing here, even if there is a problem with the artifact later, it will probably become fine.

Otherwise, there would truly be no problem—once the problem is solved, there will naturally be no problem.

"I bought these artifacts from Paradis before I came here. I originally planned to bring them with the God Card, but something went wrong and they only arrived yesterday."

“I looked into this a little last night, but I didn’t find any clues.”

"Do you have any particular feelings about this thing?"

The game stared at the silver-white pyramid, which seemed to be a contrasting structure made of ancient building blocks, and fell into deep thought.

After a long pause, he slowly opened his mouth.

"I don't remember."

Chapter 98 You sinner who destroyed the duel! Paying back the debt 2/34

“Let’s make a deal, Anubis,” a blue-haired man said to a crystal pyramid in front of him in a temple at the bottom of the ocean.

The pyramid didn't react to Dartz's words at all, as if it were just an ordinary cultural relic. However, as an invisible emperor who had been observing and manipulating the human world from behind for thousands of years, Dartz knew very well the origin of the pyramid in front of him.

"If you continue to play dead, then I will use the power of Orichalcos to make you truly and completely dead."

The pyramids remained unresponsive.

"three."

Dartz's heterochromatic eyes, one gold and one green, began to glow faintly.

"two."

A green magic circle appeared on his forehead.

"one..."

"Let's talk this out, let's talk this out."

A ghostly figure of a muscular man whose hair looked like it hadn't been styled for thousands of years appeared on the pyramid. His muscles and his subservient demeanor created a sense of absurdity.

Forced to come out of the pyramid, just as he was about to make a move, a green magic circle appeared below the pyramid, binding both the pyramid and the muscular man.

This was not an equal negotiation; it was coercion.

The being named Anubis was fundamentally incapable of confronting the god Orichalcos.

This is why he pretended to be dead, and why he immediately chickened out when he couldn't keep up the act.

If you're not as skilled as others, you can only lie down and let them do whatever they want.

Sensing that he might die at any moment, Anubis acted with great humility: "May I ask what brings you here, sir?"

"My name is Dartz, and I'm going to give you a task..."

"I see... Lady Dartz, I understand now. I will definitely complete the mission!"

Dartz simply told Anubis his request, then summoned a servant and, according to the previously prepared plan, sent the Pyramid of Light to Domino City once again, but this time the destination was the Seahorse Park in Domino City.
