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

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 6→7]

After drawing the card, Yugi immediately inserted a card into the Duel Disk: "I activate the Spell Card [Phoenix God's Feather] from my hand."

You can discard 1 card from your hand and then select 1 card from your Graveyard to activate this effect. The selected card is returned to the top of your Deck.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 7→5]

"The card I chose is [Replenishment Personnel]."

After the game places the recycled card on top of the deck, it puts another card from the hand into the graveyard.

"Then activate the effect of the Continuous Trap [Dark Factory] again, discard the monster card [Silent Swordsman LV5] from your hand, and draw a card."

That's how you get the card that was just recycled back into your hand.

Then the game also revealed one of its face-down cards.

"I also activate the Spell Card 'Monster Resurrection' to revive 'Silent Swordsman LV5er' from Graveyard 9."

With a burst of light, a swordsman carrying a silver greatsword was projected in front of the game.

[Silent Swordsman LV5: Attack Power 2300]

After the Silent Swordsman is brought to the field, Yugi plays another spell card: "I activate the spell card [Level Up!] from my hand, send [Silent Swordsman LV5] to the Graveyard, and Special Summon [Silent Swordsman LV7] from my Deck, ignoring the Summoning conditions."

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 5→4]

The Silent Swordsman then left the field.

"Oh dear! We can't let that troublesome monster go on stage!"

"I learned about the special ability of [Silent Swordsman LV7] from the memories of the main personality. The ability to negate spell cards would have a huge impact on my deck, so..."

With that, Dark Malik activated [Monster Resurrection] again.

"This time I'm going to use the power of the Phoenix God! God, wake up!"

The sun god descended behind him once more in the form of a firebird.

[Winged Dragon of the Sun God: Defense 0]

"@＃￥%＆*……"

After chanting an incantation, the divine bird released divine flames and burned towards the silent swordsman.

[Dark Malik: LP4800→3800]

“Ughh ...

The game and the spirit of King Yugi were dealt another blow.

"Hahaha, enjoy the pain that God brings, game!"

Dark Malik became increasingly deranged.

Once he recovered, Yugi said to the game, "This is bad, AIBO... Although our health hasn't decreased, if Malik's plan is to continuously use divine abilities to mentally attack us, our spirits probably won't last much longer..."

"I see......"

The game was filled with pain, showing that he had suffered considerable damage.

"Therefore, we need to finish this quickly..."

He plans to speed things up, but of course, this round won't solve the problem yet.

"Finally, I'll set two cards face down. My turn is over."

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 4→2]

"And during the end phase, activate the effect of [Summon God Exodia] again to add [Sealed Exodia] from the graveyard to your hand."

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2→3]

[Summon God Exodia: Attack Power 5000 → 4000]

At the same time, the sun god also automatically returned to the tomb.

Chapter Sixty-Two: Destroying the Hand Card

"Four face-down cards, this is really troublesome..."

Looking at the game's back row, which was completely filled with enemies, Dark Marik felt a chill run down his spine.

However, he did not hesitate and quickly drew a card.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Dark Malik's hand: 4 → 5]

Glancing at his hand, Dark Malik grinned maniacally: "Hahaha, not bad, I'll use these cards to instantly kill you!"

Just as he was about to make his next move, the game quickly interrupted him.

"The moment you draw your card, I activate the trap card [Dealer's Choice]!"

Both players shuffle their decks and draw one card. After that, both players discard one card from their hand.

"So you're planning to send the sealed Exodia to the graveyard again? The same trick won't work on me, hehehehe..."

After saying that, Dark Malik shuffled the cards along with the game.

After shuffling his deck, the player smiled confidently and exclaimed, "Solvador Kana!"

"Hmph, stubborn fool..."

Dark Marik curled his lip indifferently.

"Degeneration!!"

Both of them smiled after looking at the cards they had drawn.

"The victory is decided!"

After glancing at the cards drawn in the game, King knew that Dark Marik was doomed.

At this moment, Dark Marik had already thrown a card into the graveyard. "Alright, quickly discard [Sealed Exodia], and then I will use the power of the gods to bury it."

He couldn't wait to burn the Summoning God.

The game calmly placed a monster card into the graveyard: "Heh, don't rush, Malik. The card I'm going to discard is another card from my hand. I'm discarding the monster card [Marshmallow]."

Dark Marik was taken aback: "Isn't it [The Sealed Exodia]? But so what!?"

The game smiled calmly: "This lays the foundation for my victory. You have no chance to make a move now."

As he spoke, he clicked a button on the Duel Disk, revealing another face-down card.

"Activate the second perpetual trap [Forced Acceptance]."

This effect can only be activated when you discard cards from your hand. After that, every time you discard cards from your hand, your opponent discards the same number of cards from their hand.

"This card... could it be that the game is planning to destroy your hand next?"

The president of Kaiba said with some surprise.

Dark Marik said with a disdainful look, "What's the point of activating such a card now?"

The game ignored it and instead clicked another button.

"Then activate the third trap card, [Replenishing Key Personnel]!"

Dark Malik's expression changed drastically: "[Replenishment of Key Personnel]! Wash the motor!"

Because the game kept throwing the five parts into the graveyard, he almost forgot about this part. The game can actually achieve the victory condition by recycling the five parts.

At this point, the game has already retrieved three cards from the graveyard: "I add [The Sealed One's Left Arm], [The Sealed One's Right Arm], and [The Sealed One's Left Foot] from the graveyard to my hand."

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2→5]

[Summon God Exodia: Attack Power 4000 → 1000]

"Yosh! Yugi now has four [Exodia] cards in his hand, victory is just around the corner!"

The audience members immediately became excited.

Dark Malik was startled by this situation and took a step back: "Yugi, are you trying to collect [Exodia] this turn?"

In that case, his smug look just now made him look like a clown.

The game developer shook his head: "Unfortunately, I don't have any cards left to recycle..."

Upon hearing this, Dark Marik breathed a sigh of relief, while the others' emotions tightened once again.

"But I will still be the one to win..."

As he spoke, the game placed another card into the graveyard.

"Activate the effect of [Dark Factory] once more, send the monster card [Silent Magician LV4] from your hand to the Graveyard, and draw a card."

After drawing the card, the game immediately clicks the last button to reveal the last face-down card.

"This next card is the key to your fate. Activate the fourth trap, [Summoning of Light]!"

Discard all cards in your hand. Then, add the same number of LIGHT monsters from your Graveyard as the number of cards discarded by this effect to your hand.

In the game, you put all five of your hand cards into the graveyard.

"The five cards I chose for my graveyard are: the LIGHT cards [Silent Swordsman LV5], [Silent Swordsman LV7], [Cotton Candy], [Silent Magician LV4], and [Super Electromagnetic Turtle] which was previously discarded by [Phoenix God's Feather]."

[Summon God Exodia: Attack Power 1000 → 5000]

"Brilliant! So this is the purpose of [Forced Acceptance]. The effect of [Summoning of Light] triggered this card's ability, turning an unrelated trap card into a way to destroy the opponent's entire hand. As expected of you, Yuugi!"

The president's eyes were burning with desire as he looked at the game, wishing he could go up and play cards with it right now.

Of course, Dark Marik and the others heard what the president said, and Dark Marik naturally understood what it meant.

At this moment, Yugi raised his hand towards Dark Malik and said, "Alright, Malik! Because I discarded five cards when I activated [Summoning of Light], you also need to discard five cards according to the effect of the Continuous Trap [Forced Receive].

Dark Malik: It was pretty abrupt...

For a moment, Dark Malik, caught in the game's trap, was bewildered.

The game did not use the Five Elders to deal with Dark Marik, but can you believe that the game actually used the Five Elders deck to destroy the hand?

Without anyone noticing, Dark Malik, his eyes glazed over, helplessly loosened his grip, and his five cards fell uncontrollably to the ground.

[Dark Malik's hand: 5 → 0]

"It's over, Malik!"

The game launches its final attack.

"Don't come over here!"

Because the Dark Game was still running, Dark Malik, without a master to block the gun, would be completely annihilated once his health points reached zero, so he took a step back in fear.

"Take this final blow! I'll use [Summon God Exodia] to attack you directly, Demon God Flame Cannon!"

The summoned god instantly blasted the demonic flames toward the opponent.

"Ughh ...

Dark Malik's soul was instantly annihilated by the demon god's attack.

[Dark Malik: LP3800→0]

Without a soul, Malik's body collapsed limply onto the dueling platform.

Finally, the winner of the first semi-final match in Duel City was decided, and Yugi was the winner, of course.

Chapter 63 Kaiba VS Jonouchi

"Phew—! I'm exhausted..."

After the duel ended, the game was completely exhausted.

After all, this was his first dark duel, and it took a toll on his mental strength.

"Thank you for your hard work, AIBO."

Wang Yang was also well aware of how uncomfortable this feeling was.

......

It took quite a while for the game to restart.
