The protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! world might be the same person.

"The opponent is...it's Kajiki-kun!?"

"No way, they matched up so quickly?"

......

"Duel!!" ×2

Yugi Muto: LP4000

Ryota Kajiki: LP4000

Kajiki then drew a card from his deck first, "I'll go first, draw!"

[Kajiki Ryota's hand cards: 5 → 6]

"Hey, here we go! Game, I'll show you how good I am right away."

As he spoke, he slammed a card onto the duel disk.

"First, I summon [Electric Jellyfish] from my hand in Defense Position."

After a flash of light, a jellyfish with electric currents was projected.

Electric Jellyfish: Defense 1700

"Then activate the special effect of this [Electric Jellyfish]."

You can activate this effect by sending 1 "Sea" card from your hand, Deck, or face-up cards on your field to the Graveyard. Special Summon 1 WATER monster from your hand.

"Come meet your old rival, Yugi. I send 'Legendary City of Atlantis,' whose card name is 'Sea,' from my deck to the graveyard, and Special Summon 'Sea Dragon God - Leviathan' from my hand!"

Then a giant blue sea dragon appeared.

[Sea Dragon God - Leviathan: Attack Power 2000]

[Kajiki Ryota's hand cards: 6 → 4]

"Poseidon Dragon..."

The game player whispered the name of the card. This card was different from the original blank card; it had a rather good special effect.

Kajiki then said to the game, "[Sea Dragon God - Leviathan] is different from the [Sea Dragon God] before its evolution; it has extremely powerful effects."

As long as this card contains "Sea", each player can only have 1 face-up monster other than WATER on their field (if each player has 2 or more face-up monsters other than WATER on their field, they must be sent to the Graveyard until they become 1).

This effect is quite powerful, directly limiting the game to only one monster on the field at a time.

And that's not all.

"Then I activated another ability of [Sea Dragon God - Leviathan]."

This effect can only be activated during your Main Phase. Add 1 of the following cards from your Deck to your hand.

●[Sea]

●【Sea Dragon God】Spell/Trap Card

●【Diving】Spell/Trap Card

"I choose to add [Undersea Raid] to my hand."

[Kajiki Ryota's hand cards: 4 → 5]

After getting the card, Kajiki inserted it into the Duel Disk along with the other card he had in his hand.

"Finally, cover two more cards, and the turn ends."

After revealing two face-down cards at his feet, he declared the end of his turn.

[Kajiki Ryota's hand cards: 5 → 3]

"Kajiki's deck has indeed been greatly strengthened, it's much stronger than before. Watch out, AIBO."

"Ah."

The game clearly shows the strength of the opponent's deck.

Although it's not particularly strong in the physical card market, the combination of a counter, a suppressor, and two face-down cards still makes it a bit tricky for him.

Chapter 149 Stage Rotation

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 5→6]

The moment he drew a card in the game, Kajiki Ryota quickly pressed the button, "Open the face-down card, Continuous Trap [Dive into the Sea]."

As an effect of activating this card, you can select 1 "Sea" card from your hand or Graveyard to activate this effect.

"I will activate the [Legendary City Atlantis] in the cemetery."

Once the field is activated, the cards on Kajiki's field will activate their effects, which will cause a lot of trouble.

So, in order to stop him, Yugi immediately inserted the card he was holding into the Duel Disk.

"At that very moment, I activated the quick-play spell [Stage Rotation] from my hand!"

Choose two Field Spell Cards with different names from your Deck. Set one of them to your field and the other to your opponent's field. As long as any of the cards set by this effect are set in the Field Zone, neither player can activate or set any other Field Spell Cards.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 6→5]

"What did you say!?"

The game then selected two cards from the deck.

"Kajiki-kun, this is the card you need to set to face-down on your field..."

As he spoke, he tossed one of the cards to Kajiki.

The latter caught it and took a look—

——【Chaos Field】.

"Field Spell [Chaos Field], as the effect of this card's activation, requires you to add one [Chaos Warrior] Ritual Monster or [Dark Knight Gaia] Monster from your Deck to your hand."

"But Kajiki-kun doesn't have those cards in his deck, so you can't activate this card."

In other words, Kajiki's field area has been effectively sealed off, preventing the field, which is the core of the deck, from activating, and thus essentially restricting the entire deck surrounding the field.

"That was a brilliant move, AIBO!"

Wang Yang was amazed by this move.

While this is a classic technique in the real card game environment, no one in this world would have thought that it could be done this way.

"Really?! Is this for real?! You managed to subdue me with just one card?!"

Kajiki broke out in a cold sweat; the game had given him a rude awakening right from the start.

Furthermore, the game involves flipping over the face-down cards in one's own area.

"Then I activated the field spell [Broken Gaia] and its effect."

You can activate this effect by revealing 1 "Dark Knight Gaia" monster from your hand to your opponent. Add 1 Level 5 Dragon-Type monster from your Deck to your hand.

Then, Yugi flipped over a card and said, "The card name of [Gaia the Magic Knight] is considered as a [Gaia the Dark Knight] monster according to the rules. Therefore, based on the effect of [Gaia the Wanderer], I added [Dragon of Hellfire Curse] from my deck to my hand."

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 5→6]

"A cursed dragon...?"

Kajiki remembered that back in Duel Kingdom, he was defeated by Yugi using this card.

The player then places a card from their hand onto the Duel Disk, and then Normal Summons [Gaia the Sorcerer Knight] from their hand.

After a flash of light on the field, a cavalryman riding a dark red warhorse and wearing a cloak was projected onto the scene.

【Gaia, the Magic Knight: Attack Power 2300】

"What's going on? Why was this monster summoned without any offerings?"

Kajiki looked at the knight in front of him with a puzzled expression.

"That's because of the special effects of [Gaia the Magic Knight] itself."

If you have no monsters on your field or your opponent has a monster with 2300 or more ATK, this card can be Summoned without Tributing.

"And the instant it appeared, another ability activated!"

This effect can only be activated if this card is Normal or Special Summoned. Special Summon 1 Level 5 Dragon monster from your hand or Graveyard in Defense Position.

"Come forth, [Dragon of Hellfire Curse]!"

As soon as the game's sound ended, a crimson dragon appeared.

【Dragon of Inferno Curse: Defense 1500】

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 6→4]

"In this way, I can activate the special effect of [Dragon of Inferno] and send the Fusion Materials containing this card to the Graveyard for Fusion."

"Let's combine! [Magic Knight Gaia] and [Hellfire Curse Dragon]!"

The knight then dismounted from his warhorse and jumped onto the back of the cursed dragon.

"Fusion Summon, appear, [Gaia, the Sky Dragon Knight]!"

[Gaia, the Sky Dragon Knight: Attack Power 2600]

Then, the game was played, and the effect of the Special Summoned [Sky Dragon Knight Gaia] was activated, adding one [Spiral Shot] from the Deck or Graveyard to the hand.

"I add this card from my deck to my hand and activate it immediately."

Without hesitation, he inserted the card he had received into the Duel Disk.

After that, Yugi immediately launched an attack: "Battle begins! [Sky Dragon Knight Gaia] attacks [Sea Dragon - Leviathan], Spiral Shot Kill!"

"At this moment, due to the effect of the field spell [Broken Gaia], the opponent cannot activate the effect during the battle phase while I have [Dragon Knight Gaia] present."

"Furthermore, Gaia, the Sky Dragon Knight, has activated another ability, changing the target's appearance!"

[Poseidon - Leviathan: Defense 1700]

"Are you stupid? A monster in Defense Position won't let me get hurt..."

Before Kajiki could finish speaking, the Dragon Knight pierced Leviathan with a single spear thrust.

boom--!

[Kajiki Yuta: LP4000→3100]

"Nani!?"

Kajiki's face froze instantly as he watched his health points decrease, momentarily confused.

Could it be that the Dragon Knight has a piercing effect?

of course not.

The game then explains, "Because of the effect of the Continuous Spell [Spiral Shot], [Dragon Knight Gaia] deals piercing damage to you when it attacks a defense monster."

"So this is ah."

"And because this card's effect applies when [Dragon Knight Gaia] deals damage to the opponent, you can activate another effect of this card to draw two cards from your deck and then discard one card from your hand."

The player immediately draws two cards from their deck, then, after a moment's thought, puts the other card from their hand into the graveyard.

"So strong! You've become so strong that you easily overpowered me in just a short time!"

Of course, Kajiki was able to beat the game at the beginning simply because he made too many wild guesses back then, like hiding monsters in the sea, which was pretty far-fetched.

However, this was because the rules were not perfect back then. Now, the competition is based on skill rather than eloquence.

"Finally, cover two cards to end the turn."

After two face-down cards appear at your feet, the game ends your turn.
