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

"This is a battle for the title of Duel King, and this stage is..."

Wow——! ! !

Cheers erupted from the surrounding crowd.

"Sky Arena!"

"Seahorse..."

After the president finished speaking, the audience in the arena kept cheering for his name.

"In the game, we've accumulated many connections. By fate, we'll fight to the death, like ancient Roman gladiators who risked their lives for glory and freedom!"

Wang Yang: AIBO, are we really going to duel in this kind of situation?

Game: ...... (covers face)

This is so childish and embarrassing.

However, the president, engrossed in his own aesthetic, didn't care what they thought.

Seeing that the game was awkwardly slow in drawing cards, the club president didn't hesitate to take the initiative.

"Then I get to go first, time to draw!"

Seto Kaiba's hand cards: 5 → 6

After glancing at his hand, the club president said, "Game, ever since you got [Exzodiac] back, I've been thinking about how to counter your deck, and this is my answer..."

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

"Activate the Spell Card [Called by Darkness]".

Declare the name of one monster card. While this monster card is in your opponent's deck, add 1 of those cards to your opponent's hand.

Seto Kaiba's hand cards: 6 → 5

"My declaration is, of course, of the [Sealed Exodia]!"

The game then followed the president's instructions and added the card to the player's hand.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 5→6]

The president then inserted his second card into the Duel Disk: "I activate the Spell Card [Called by Another] again."

Declare the name of 1 card. Check your opponent's hand. If the declared card is in your opponent's hand, banish 1 of the declared cards from the game. If the declared card is not in your opponent's hand, banish 1 card from your hand immediately.

Seto Kaiba's hand cards: 5 → 4

The president raised his right hand towards the game and said, "My declaration is, of course, [The Sealed Exodia]. Alright, let me see your hand!"

Yugi frowned: "I see, so you wanted to seal the power of [Exodia] from the very beginning!?"

He and Wang Yang really didn't expect that the president would eliminate the possibility of the Five Elders Ai from the very beginning. Excluding the key parts from the start was indeed a very effective solution.

The game indeed did not consider this exception and was not prepared to deal with such an exception.

However, he didn't care. Even without the Five Elders Ai, the game was still going to be played.

The key issue is that your hand will be exposed to your opponent, which is a bit of a disadvantage.

Of course, he still has to show his hand to his opponent.

—【The Sealed Exodia】, 【The Ultimate Sealing God Exodias】, 【The Right Foot of the Sealed One】, 【Radiant Angel】, 【Holy Shield - Mirror Force -】, 【Severed Scroll】!

"Hmph! Another card I've never seen before..."

Except for the second card, the president recognizes all the other cards in his hand.

Although he couldn't see what the card's effect was, he could tell that it was a combo card for the Five Elders.

In his view, with one component missing, the card is essentially useless.

Despite its high level of ten stars, it was no longer a concern for him.

Soon, after the president confirmed, the game put the five Elders parts that had been pointed to into its card box.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 6→5]

Then, She Hengchang continued to play a card: "I summon [Giant Virus] from my hand in defense position."

A giant virus has reappeared.

[Giant Virus: Defense 100]

"Finally, I'll cover one more card, and then my turn will be over."

He quickly ended his turn.

Seto Kaiba's hand cards: 4 → 2

After removing the five old Ai parts, the president's actions became very conservative again.

Since the president had seen the cards in the game, he felt that this level of defense would be sufficient.

"Come on, let's play!"

He challenged the game, hoping the other side would break through.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 5→6]

After glancing at the card he had drawn, Yugi ignored it and placed a card from his hand on the Duel Disk: "I summon [Radiant Angel] from my hand in Defense Position."

After the card image emitted a burst of light, the Radiant Angel was summoned back into the game.

[Radiant Angel: Defense 800]

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 6→5]

Seeing that the game wasn't attacking, the club president was somewhat dissatisfied: "Why aren't you attacking!?"

Wang Yang also looked at the game with a puzzled expression.

So Yugi laughed and said, "You're too naive, Kaiba-kun! I know exactly what the [Giant Virus] monster is like."

If this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, activate this effect. Inflict 500 damage to your opponent. After that, you can Special Summon any number of "Giant Virus" cards from your Deck in Attack Position.

"Once I attack, I will take 5004 damage and leave you with two sacrifices."

Is it stupid to knowingly step into a trap?

Therefore, it's best to remain inactive in this game.

"Tsk! Did they see through me!?"

However, the president wasn't annoyed, since the opponent was the game.

"Finally, set one card face down. My turn is over."

The game ended its turn cleanly and decisively.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 5→4]

Chapter Sixty-Eight Exodus

"My turn, draw a card!"

Seto Kaiba's hand cards: 2 → 3

Seto Kaiba glanced at the cards he had drawn and immediately slammed them onto the Duel Disk: "Hmph! Looks like the ace always ends up in my hand. I'll offer up [Giant Virus] as a tribute to Summon [Crystal Dragon] from my hand in Attack Position!"

A flash of light appeared on the card, and a giant blue dragon made entirely of crystal was projected in front of the club president.

Crystal Dragon: Attack Power 2500

Seto Kaiba's hand cards: 3 → 2

"coming......"

The game energized him; he recognized the monster.

After the monster entered the field, the president decisively launched an attack: "Let's do it! First, send the game's monsters to hell! Attack with [Crystal Dragon]!"

The crystal dragon spread its wings and fired countless crystal arrows at the radiant angel.

Yugi quickly pressed the button and flipped over the face-down card from the previous turn: "At this moment, I activate the Trap Card [Divine Protection - Mirror Force -], destroy all Attack Position monsters on the opponent's field!"

A protective shield of light instantly appeared in front of the Radiant Angel.

However, the president had already prepared corresponding countermeasures.

He pressed the button as well, opening his own face-down card: "How naive! Did you think I was completely unprepared knowing you had this card? I'll open my face-down card too, [Darkness of the Scapegoat]!"

You can activate this effect when your opponent activates a Spell/Trap/Monster effect that destroys cards on the field. Negate that effect. Then, send 1 Level 3 or lower DARK monster from your Deck to the Graveyard.

"I sent my second [Giant Virus] from my deck to the graveyard to negate the effect of [Divine Shield - Mirror Force -]!"

The protective shield in front of the Radiant Angel shattered instantly, and then all of the Crystal Dragon's attacks landed on it.

boom--! !

The Radiant Angel then disappeared.

However, the destruction of this monster is exactly what the game wants: "At the moment when [Radiant Angel] is destroyed by battle, I can Special Summon a monster with 1500 or less ATK from my Deck."

After selecting a card from the deck, the game immediately places it onto the Duel Disk: "Come on! [Silent Swordsman LV3]!"

With a flash of light, a small swordsman wearing a blue coat appeared on the game field.

[Silent Swordsman LV3: Attack Power 1000]

The president, of course, already knew the game would activate its effects, but he didn't care: "Then I'll activate the special ability of [Crystal Dragon] as well."

Once per turn, during your Battle Step if this card has battled: Add 1 Level 8 Dragon-Type monster from your Deck to your hand.

"I chose the [White Spirit Dragon]."

Seto Kaiba's hand cards: 2 → 3

"The White Spirit Dragon...?"

The game frowned.

Seeing the game's expression, King asked curiously, "AIBO, do you know this card?"

Yugi nodded: "I know. This is a powerful monster that can remove one Spell/Trap Card when it is successfully summoned, and it is treated as a Normal Monster when it is in your hand or Graveyard."

"In other words, the reason why Kaiba would add it to his hand at this time is probably because he is currently holding a copy of the [Ancient Rule]."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang frowned: "Is it specifically designed to target AIBO?"

"I'm afraid so..."

However, the game doesn't seem that simple.

Next, the club president inserts another card into the duel disk.

"Finally, set one card face down. My turn is over."

A face-down card appeared in his backcourt, and the president's turn was over again.

Seto Kaiba's hand cards: 3 → 2

"Alright, now it's your turn, game!"

After the president finished speaking, Yugi drew a card.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 4→5]

Without checking the cards he had drawn, Yugi pointed at Silent Swordsman and said, "The effect of [Silent Swordsman LV3] is activated. During my Standby Phase, I send this card to the Graveyard to upgrade it and Special Summon [Silent Swordsman LV5]."

The silent swordsman instantly grew into a tall swordsman.

[Silent Swordsman LV5: Attack Power 2300]

The president's expression turned serious: "What?! You summoned a high-level monster so easily?"

"It seems the [LV] monster is quite strong..."

Despite his thoughts, he didn't intend to specifically cram a set of [LV] monsters into his deck; White Marriage was enough for him.

At this moment, Yugi glanced at his hand and then placed a card onto the Duel Disk: "I return all the monsters in my Graveyard to the Deck and Special Summon [Ultimate Sealing God Exodias] from my hand."
