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

"Tch, it's just stalling for one round; my advantage remains unchanged..."

Naia had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Naya, have you forgotten what cards I have in hand right now?"

At this moment, the player picks up the cards with their right hand.

"Hand cards... Ah, right! [Pluto Dragon Judgment God] can be Special Summoned from the hand after a Counter Trap negates the opponent's card..."

After being reminded, Noa realized that Yugi still had a troublesome monster on hand.

At this point, Yugi had already placed the card on the Duel Disk and said, "Based on the effect of [Pluto Dragon Judgment God], Special Summon it from my hand once again."

The card emitted light, and the crimson dragon was projected once more.

[Pluto Dragon, the God of Judgment: Attack Power 2800]

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 1→0]

"And since it was a trap card that was invalidated this time, [Pluto Dragon Judgment God] has unlocked a new ability."

Upon hearing this about the game, Noah was immediately startled.

"A new ability!?"

Naia suddenly felt uneasy.

At this moment, Yugi pointed at the angel and replied, "That's right, it doesn't matter what trap card is negated, but after negating the trap card, the corresponding effect of [Pluto Dragon Judgment God] is triggered, which selects one card on the opponent's field and destroys it. And what I want to destroy is, of course, your deck leader [Heavenly King Zhinadu]!"

As soon as the game ended, the Hades Dragon unleashed lightning at Zhinadu.

"not good!!"

The lightning struck "Naya" quickly, causing an explosion.

"Yay! With the deck leader destroyed, that brat will lose unconditionally!"

Seeing that the duel was about to end, the companions became excited.

"Hmph, don't be too happy yet, the duel isn't over yet."

At this moment, the president poured cold water on their enthusiasm.

Because he saw that Zhinadu's shadow had not disappeared within the smoke.

This scene was also witnessed by Yugi and Ougi.

Before long, the smoke dissipated, and Zhina appeared unharmed in everyone's sight.

"Impossible! [The Celestial King's Domain] should have been destroyed..."

The castle could not believe what was happening.

Of course, there are still some differences. Yugi and King Yugi have already noticed Noa kneeling at Shinato's feet.

Then Yugi said to Noa, "Your body has separated from [Heavenly King Shinato], which means that [Heavenly King Shinato] is no longer a monster card on the field, right?"

At this moment, Naia had already stood up again.

"Tch, you saw right through me. Typical of you..."

He acknowledged the speculation surrounding the game.

Then he continued, "It was my carelessness, Yugi. I never thought I would even use the ultimate ability of the Deck Master."

"【Heavenly King Zhinadu】's ultimate ability 'Reincarnation' is aimed at Deck Leaders that appear on the field. When it is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard, it can avoid that destruction, then exit the Summoned state and become a Deck Leader used outside the field again."

"Of course, this effect doesn't come without a price, namely, it means you can no longer be summoned as a monster."

At this point, all six effects of the Noah deck leader have been revealed.

"You're really troublesome, Naya."

Having survived all that, the game is starting to feel a bit tricky.

"This is too unfair! There are so many effects. If the game hadn't intervened, we probably wouldn't even know what they were."

“Exactly!”

Everyone couldn't help but complain.

It turns out that the rules for designing a deck leader were used by Noah to make things easier for herself.

Without this rule, the game would probably have been won long ago, and the battle wouldn't have dragged on until now.

"Finally, I set a monster face-down, then set another card face-down, and end my turn."

After Naia set one card each on the field and then ended the turn, the game ended.

[Kaiba Noa's hand cards: 2→0]

This time he didn't summon monsters in a direct attack mode, which suggests he was aware that empty monsters could be dangerous.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 0→1]

The game then directly inserted the card drawn into the Duel Disk.

"Activate the Spell Card 'Curtain of Dark Magic,' pay half of your Life Points, and Special Summon 'Dark Magician' from your Deck!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 1→0]

【Muto Games: LP1600→800】

A skeleton with a curtain hanging from it appeared on the game field, and then a purple figure flew out from the curtain.

[Dark Magician: Attack Power 2500]

"To summon the [Dark Magician] at this moment, what a terrifying duelist..."

Noa felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at the three high-level monsters standing on the field.

After Gaia switches to attack stance, the game immediately enters the battle phase.

"Battle has begun! I'll attack your Geka with [Gaia, the Dark Knight of Gale], Spiral Shot Kill!"

Gaia rushed forward and pierced Noa's Gaika with a single spear thrust. The destroyed monster was none other than the Dragon Palace Princess.

"At this moment, when [Princess of the Dragon Palace] is flipped, I change the battle position of one face-up monster on my opponent's field. I change [Pluto Dragon Judgment God] to Defense Position."

The Pluto Dragon was forced to crouch and wait.

[Pluto the Dragon, the God of Judgment: Defense 2500]

"But I still have the [Dark Magician] who can attack you directly. Go, Dark Magician!"

Following the game's attack command, the dark magician fired a magic bullet at Noa.

boom--! !

"Hmph—!"

With the field empty, Noah could only take the damage head-on.

[Haima Nia: LP5700→3200]

"That concludes my turn."

Another round of the game has ended.

Then, Naia impatiently drew out another card.

"My turn!"

[Kaiba Noa's hand cards: 0→1]

"Humph......"

This time, the card made Naia's lips curl into a smile.

"Let me use this card to destroy your monster, Yugi Muto!"

With that, he inserted the card into the Duel Disk.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Deepest Impact' from my hand. Destroy all monsters on the field and halve the Life Points of both players!"

[Kaiba Noa's hand cards: 1→0]

"Nani!?"

Everyone was shocked by the abnormal effect. How could Naia have played so many field-clearing cards?

As Noah activated this card, the sky instantly turned the color of dusk, and a large number of meteorites fell.

Bang bang bang——!!!

The continuous explosions wiped out all the monsters on the game field.

【Muto Games: LP800→400】

[Haima Nia: LP3200→1600]

"But then Noa will have no monsters left. As long as AIBO draws a monster card with an attack power of over 1600, then..."

Wang Yang was interrupted by Noah's words halfway through his sentence.

"Then I activate the Trap Card [Tomb Festival], and add one Soul Monster from my Graveyard to my hand."

"I add the [Dragon Palace Princess] from the graveyard to my hand and set it face down."

Princess Ryugu was once again placed on Noa's field.

Wang Yang: Never mind...

"My turn is over."

As Noah's turn ended, the Light-Sealing Sword also disappeared.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 0→1]

The game was incredibly lucky; he drew a magic card and inserted it into the Duel Disk.

"I activate the Spell Card [Warrior Survival]."

You can target 1 Warrior-Type monster in your Graveyard; add that Warrior-Type monster to your hand.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 1→0]

"Again!!"

Of course, Naia knew which monster the game was trying to reclaim.

"I add [Gaia, the Dark Knight of Gale] from my graveyard to my hand and summon it."

The invincible Gaia has returned.

Gaia, the Dark Knight of Gale: Attack Power 2300

Naia: How many times has this happened? Why is this bastard still haunting us?! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

So the Dragon Palace Princess was destroyed by Gaia again. This time, apart from that Continuous Spell, Noa was empty-handed and completely at her wit's end. All she could rely on was a lucky draw.

"My turn is over."

The game and Noah have now reached a point where it's purely a matter of luck.

"My turn!"

[Kaiba Noa's hand cards: 0→1]

"Hmph hmph hmph, hahahahaha..."

This time, Karenya burst into laughter with excitement.

Yugi and Yugi were curious, while their companions became somewhat worried.

"The goddess of victory is still on my side..."

Noah slammed the card onto the Duel Disk and said, "I summon the Soul Monster 'White Rabbit of Inaba' from my hand."

After a flash of light, a white rabbit holding a mechanical mortar appeared on Noah's field.
