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

"Complete Armor Gravity!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a new set of armor was put on his body one by one.

"Haaaaaaahh ...

After dressing up again, Baron let out a long, triumphant roar, and then threw two punches, like a Saint Seiya.

Yugi & Yugi: ...

This scene is so cringeworthy and embarrassing.

Baron: As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

At the same time, Jonouchi was watching the live stream on the screen, muttering, "That Baron guy actually summons a monster in Defense Position!?"

In his view, Baron, as a brute, should prefer to show all his aggression.

Jonouchi guessed that it might be because Baron had lost to him before, so he began to pay more attention to defense.

The purpose of coming here to compete was to get revenge.

However, before he could even face the city's inhabitants, he encountered an even more formidable opponent, so Baron dared not be careless at all.

That's indeed the case. After all, playing cards isn't as straightforward as it is in real life. If you're not careful, you can easily get screwed over.

......

Back on the field.

After changing his outfit, Baron declared that his turn was over.

However, there are still things to do in the game before the next turn arrives.

"During your end phase, I activate the monster effect of [Magician's Robe]!"

You can activate this effect by discarding 1 Spell/Trap Card from your hand during your opponent's turn. Special Summon 1 "Dark Magician" from your Deck.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 3→2]

After he placed the card in the graveyard, the dark magician appeared amidst flashes of light and, under the influence of the perpetuity magic, transformed into a cold, lifeless machine.

[Dark Magician: Attack power 2500 → 2000]

Then the game proceeds to draw one card from the deck.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2→3]

When he looked at the card, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

Wang Yang also noticed the card, raising an eyebrow. "Heh, isn't this card...?"

He didn't continue.

Yugi first placed the card down, then slammed another card from his hand onto the Duel Disk, saying, "First, I send one monster from my hand or field (excluding Effect Monsters) to the Graveyard, and then Special Summon 'Cosmic Sage' from my hand."

boom--!

As soon as he finished speaking, the Dark Magician, who was a normal monster, suddenly exploded. Then, a witch appeared, holding a magic wand, wearing a crimson robe and a blue robe, and was transformed into a mechanical body under the influence of the magic of perpetuity.

[Cosmic Sage: Attack Power 1500 → 1000]

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 3→2]

"Furthermore, based on the special effect of [Cosmic Sage], this card gains 200 ATK based on the Level of [Dark Magician] sent to the Graveyard by this card's Special Summon."

[Cosmic Sage: Attack Power 1000 → 2400]

After that, the game played the card drawn that turn, "Then I'll activate the spell card [Hermes' Claw] from my hand!"

Upon hearing the card name, Baron's expression changed drastically.

"Isn't that Jonouchi's card?! Why do you have it?"

The game shrugged at the question and did not answer it.

The next second, accompanied by a roar, a giant brown dragon with spikes all over its back appeared above the game's head.

He then continued, "With the effect of [Hemo's Claw], send a monster of the specified type from your hand or field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon the corresponding Fusion Monster."

"I'll combine my Warrior-Type monster, [Ace Knight], with Hemo to create an Equip Card for this monster!"

The Clown Knight, possessing the power of the Epic Knights, appears on the field and merges with the legendary dragon.

"Appear, [Goddess's Holy Bow - Arrow Moon]!"

The moment the words were spoken, a burst of divine light appeared, and a small divine bow appeared before them.

【Goddess's Holy Bow - Arrow Moon: Attack Power 1500 → 1000】

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2→0]

Chapter 180

Looking at the divine bow before him, Yugi continued, "The moment [Goddess's Holy Bow - Yazuki] appears, activate its special effect: this card is used as an Equip Card to equip to a monster other than yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cosmic sage put away his wand, took the divine bow, and then nothing else happened.

Baron looked puzzled, thinking, "My attack power hasn't increased at all. Could there be some strange effect?"

While he was still speculating, Yugi pointed at the Cosmic Sage and said, "Before entering the battle phase, I will activate another special ability of the Cosmic Sage."

You can activate this effect by Tributing 1 Effect Monster you control. Special Summon 1 Normal Monster from your hand or Deck.

"Tribute the Magician's Robe on the field to Special Summon Queen Knight from your Deck."

boom!

The magician's robe, which had turned into metal, shattered instantly, and then the Queen Knight appeared. Of course, the newly appeared monster was also mechanized.

[Queen's Knight: Attack power 1500 → 1000]

After finishing, the game player waved his arm and shouted, "Battle begins! Use [Cosmic Sage] to attack [Psycho-Powered Armor Helmet]!"

At his command, the cosmic sage drew his divine bow, and a beam of light was fired, heading straight for Baron's head.

The Cosmic Sage's attack power now exceeds the defense power of all Armored Monsters, so even if the attack target is diverted through the Armored Monsters' effects, it cannot stop the monster from causing destruction.

"In that case..."

With that, Baron swung his right fist with all his might, smashing it towards the arrow.

"When an armored monster is attacked, the target of the attack will be forcibly changed to [Big Bang Fist Armor]!"

The next second, the gauntlets suddenly exploded violently during their collision.

boom--! !

When the smoke cleared, the scene was revealed, and it seemed as if nothing had happened. Apart from the fact that Baron's right arm armor had disappeared, neither side had suffered any damage.

However, Baron's expression turned somewhat grim. "The special effect of the [Big Bang Armor] is that when it is destroyed in battle, all monsters on the field are destroyed, and the damage equal to the combined attack power of the destroyed monsters is dealt to both players."

"You should have had your health depleted by this attack, but why didn't anything happen?"

In response to his question, the game pointed to the divine bow in the hand of the cosmic sage and explained, "That's because of the special effect of the equipment card [Goddess's Holy Bow - Arrow Moon]."

This card's effect negates the effects of any Spell, Trap, or Monster activated by your opponent once during either player's Battle Phase, provided this card is equipped to you. During the Battle Phase to which this effect applies, the equipped monster can attack twice.

"Large breasts!?"

Upon hearing the game's explanation, Baron's pupils suddenly contracted; there was indeed something fishy about the equipment fused from the legendary dragon.

"It can negate card effects and even grant a monster an extra attack opportunity... truly worthy of the power of a legendary dragon..."

At this point, he regretted it a little. He shouldn't have used up the effect of the Big Bang Punch so early, otherwise he would have been the winner.

Unfortunately, he has already missed his chance, and there's no use thinking about it anymore.

At this point, the game's attack was not yet over.

He continued commanding: "With the [Goddess's Holy Bow - Arrowhead], [unintelligible]..."

The cosmic sage drew his divine bow once more and fired a second arrow of light at Balong's head.

Just then, Baron threw out his left fist, shouting, "Jet Gauntlets and Armor!"

The next second, the left arm armor was ejected and collided with the arrow.

boom--! !

The two clashed, and another violent explosion rang out. Baron then replaced his arrow with another one.

But it wasn't over yet. Suddenly, a fragment flew out from the center of the explosion and flew towards the cosmic sage, piercing its body.

boom--!

The cosmic sage was also destroyed.

Seeing this, Yugi asked with a puzzled look, "Cosmic Sage... why was it destroyed? Was it also a special effect of the Armored Monster?"

"Yes, by destroying the [Jet Gauntlet Armor] during battle, you can destroy one of the opponent's attacking monsters."

"That's great!"

"Heh, you too."

The two fought back and forth, but neither could gain the upper hand for the time being.

"He's such an amazing man, AIBO."

"Yes, that's why I have to do my best."

After saying that, Yugi immediately pressed the button to face down the card, "Activate the Trap Card, Continuous Trap Card [Etsu no Kizuna]!"

You can activate this effect only if you control no monsters other than Queen Knight, Guard Knight, or King Knight. Special Summon 1 monster from your hand or Graveyard that is one of Queen Knight, Guard Knight, or King Knight.

"I currently only have one monster, [Queen Knight], on my field, therefore I Special Summon [Guard Knight] from my Graveyard!"

Om-!

After the flash of light, the Guard Knight reappeared on his field in the form of a mechanical knight.

[Guard Knight: Attack Power 1900 → 1400]

"That concludes my turn."

The game did nothing, not even recalling the Ace Knight, and just ended its turn like that.

This situation made Baron raise an eyebrow, not understanding the other party's intentions.

However, this little thing was of no importance to the brute.

"My turn!"

"The effect of the [Psycho-Powered Armor Helmet] has activated!"

"In exchange for not drawing a card, add one Armored Monster from your Deck to your hand."

Baron took a card from his deck and immediately put it onto the Duel Disk.

"I summon the [Burning Fist Armor] in attack stance!"

Om-!

A mechanical armored right arm was projected to his right.

【Burning Fist Armor: Attack 0 → 500, Defense 1000 → 1500】

After the armor covered his right arm, he continued, "The effect of [Burning Fist Armor] is the same as [Explosive Hook Armor]: its attack power increases by 200 points for each Armored Monster on the field."

As soon as he finished speaking, his armor transferred energy to his right arm guard.

[Burning Fist Armor: Attack Power 500 → 1300]

"Is the attack power just enough to destroy [Queen Knight]...? Then I'll activate the effect of the Continuous Trap [E-card Bond] once again, and Special Summon [King Knight] from the Graveyard in Defense Position!"

As soon as the game was started, the King Knight appeared and entered the arena.

[King's Knight: Defense 1400 → 900]

Chapter 181 Celestial Knight

After the King Knight appeared, Baron couldn't wait any longer, shouting, "Let's fight! My attack, Burning Fist!"

He immediately rushed over and punched the Queen Knight.
