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

"I am now in a defensive stance and I am summoning the [Catapult Turtle]."

A flash of light, and a giant tortoise with a catapult on its back appeared on the penguin's field.

[Catapult Turtle: Defense 2000 → 2200]

[Top 5 Hand Cards: 5→4]

"My turn is over."

The round of the five elders has ended again.

"I summoned a level 5 monster again without offering sacrifices... Damn it, if I don't deal with [Legendary City Atlantis] soon, I'll be in trouble."

Jōnei wiped the sweat from his brow.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Jouchi Katsuya’s hand cards: 5→6]

"A boomerang with a chain attached...?"

Upon seeing the card he drew, Jonouchi's expression turned grim, making it clear to everyone that he hadn't drawn the lucky card.

"Don't worry, Jonouchi-kun. It's okay if you didn't draw a card to remove field spells, and it's fine if you don't remove them either. I happen to have some cards that I can use. You just need to prepare to defend."

The game offered comfort to Jonouchi.

"Game... Okay, I understand."

Without further hesitation, Jonouchi covered the card he had drawn.

"Set one card down, and my turn ends."

Jonouchi has transferred the turn to the game.

[Jouchi Katsuya’s hand cards: 6→5]

"Now it's my turn to perform!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 5→6]

After drawing the card, the game player clicked the button without hesitation, revealing the previously covered card.

"I'll activate the Perpetual Trap [Blood Compensation] first."

Another banned card has been activated by the game, and the five elders will no longer have a turn, as the game will end the duel in this turn.

Chapter 41 Blood Substitute Gear

"【Blood Compensation】!? What is that?"

The five elders hadn't paid attention to this card, and the game didn't explain its effect after it was activated.

"Before using this card's ability, I'll use the effect of a Field Spell to summon [Catapult Turtle] from my hand without any tributes."

Another catapult turtle appeared on the field; it was the same Stand.

[Catapult Turtle: Attack Power 1000 → 1200]

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 6→5]

—What are you looking at?

—What are you looking at!

The two large turtles stared at each other.

"So that's how it is. No wonder you said there was no need to remove that field spell."

The doubts within the castle were finally resolved.

"Hmph, so what if you used the effect of [Legendary City Atlantis] to summon [Ejector Turtle]? With only 1200 attack power, [Ejector Turtle] can't break through my defense."

"I can't argue with that," the penguin stubbornly insisted.

"Who said I was going to attack? I'm going to use the special ability of [Catapult Turtle]. I'll sacrifice one of my monsters to deal damage to my opponent with half of that monster's ATK."

This is the effect before the source number, and there is no limit to once per turn.

"How foolish. Even if we launch all the monsters on your field, it won't do any damage to us."

The penguin said with a disdainful look.

"Is that really true?"

The game smiled confidently.

"Nani!?"

Upon hearing this, the five elders immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

"Let me tell you, the special effect of the perpetual trap [Blood Compensation]."

You can pay 500 Life Points to Normal Summon 1 monster. This effect can only be activated during your Main Phase and your opponent's Battle Phase.

It also has no limit on the number of rounds.

"Wash the motor!"

The five elders were instantly startled.

"It's coming!"

Everyone's attention was focused on the game.

At this point, he plays the card he retrieved in the previous round onto the Duel Disk.

"I pay 500 life points to summon [Red Part] from my hand and activate its effect to add one [Yellow Part] from my deck to my hand."

【Muto Games: LP4000→3500】

A red gear-shaped robot then appeared.

[Red Part: Attack Power 1300]

"Then I pay another 500 health points to summon [Yellow Part] from my hand."

【Muto Games: LP3500→3000】

The yellow gear robot followed closely behind.

[Yellow Part: Attack Power 1200]

"Similarly, I activate the monster effect of [Yellow Part] again, adding a second [Green Part] from my deck to my hand."

Upon arriving here, the five elders suddenly realized something.

"This is... does this mean you have three sets of these three-colored 'Parts' monsters in your deck?"

At this point, they knew something terrible was about to happen.

"You guessed right... Watch closely, I'm going to summon another [Green Part] from my hand and add a second [Red Part] from my deck to my hand."

【Muto Games: LP3000→2500】

[Green Part: Attack Power 1400] ×2

The front of the game was suddenly filled with enemies, and it was time for him to clear them out.

"I will offer two [green parts], one [red part], and one [yellow part] as sacrifices, as bullets for the [ejector turtle] effect."

The four component monsters were successively placed on the catapult and launched by the catapult turtle, turning into pure energy that struck the five elders.

"Waaaaah—!!"

[The five oldest: LP8000 → 5350]

"Hiss! Their health points have dropped significantly in an instant..."

Jōnei couldn't help but admire his friend.

Next, the game drew four more Part Monsters from the deck at once.

"It's not over yet. I'll spend another 2000 health points to summon two [red parts], one [green part], and one [yellow part] in sequence."

【Muto Games: LP2500→500】

[Red Part: Attack Power 1300] ×2

[Green Part: Attack Power 1400]

[Yellow Part: Attack Power 1200]

The last [yellow part] can only be held in hand because there are not enough health points left.

"I will sacrifice four more monsters as bullets for the [Ejector Turtle] effect."

The four component monsters were then placed onto the catapult.

"Hey—! Don't come any closer—!"

The five elders were terrified.

Soon, the four monsters were also launched.

"Waaaaah—!!"

The five elders have lost more than half of their life points in a short period of time.

[The five oldest: LP5350 → 2750]

"Damn it! How dare this brat treat us like this!"

"Honda Hiroshi" cursed angrily, but soon laughed triumphantly.

"Your life points are running low, so you can't summon any more monsters to use as ammunition for [Catapult Turtle]. Once we wipe out your pitiful 500 life points next turn, your body will be ours! Hahahaha..."

Upon hearing the words of the five elders, Jonouchi, who was standing nearby, panicked.

"The listed Vadokana!"

The game, however, remained calm.

"Nani!?"

The five elders were suddenly stunned.

Do you think I haven't considered this issue?

As he spoke, the game's gaze turned to the dark magician girl.

That's right, his plan was still to use the Dark Magician Girl's deck control effect to draw cards, and he had made the necessary preparations from the very beginning.

Chapter 42 The Sage's Jewel

"I'm counting on you again, [Black Magician Girl]!"

This time, the game is preparing to make her the MVP again.

"Yes, I'll leave it to you, Master!"

The black magician girl winked at him playfully.

Of course, only Yugi could hear their conversation in the game, but he seemed to be deep in thought.

"I see. AIBO had this in mind. By using the mutual search effect of the [Parts] monsters to continuously compress the deck, and then letting [Catapult Turtle] deal damage to the opponent, the number of monsters in the graveyard increases at the same time. This way, when the deck dominance effect of [Dark Magician Girl] is activated, a large number of cards can be drawn at once."

Wang Yang suddenly realized and said that this way of earning cards was amazing.

At this point, the game continued.

"Here it comes! I activate the Deck Master effect of [Dark Magician Girl], Dark Magic Secret Technique: Soul Circle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the nine monsters in the graveyard surrounded the Dark Magician Girl, and then she gathered all the monsters' energy and shot it onto Yugi's deck, causing the thick stack of cards on his deck to light up instantly.

"【Dark Magician Girl】's Deck Domination effect allows me to draw the same number of cards as the number of monsters in my Graveyard. Since I have nine monster cards in my Graveyard, I can draw nine cards. Fallen!!"

The game immediately drew the stack of cards from the top of the deck.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 5→14]

The game suddenly brought his hand to a terrifying fourteen cards, which gave him a lot more options.

He originally planned to use the Magic Catapult Cannon, but considering that the opponent's initial health was 8000 points while his own initial health was only 4000 points, it was not enough to wipe out the opponent.

So he switched to a similar strategy called Blood Substitution Gear. Although it still couldn't completely wipe out the opponent's cards, the advantage was that it could significantly compress the deck. You can see how good the effect is now that the deck only has fifteen cards left after activating the Deck Dominator effect.

"Such amazing deck management ability..."
