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

This effect can be activated when a monster in Defense Position on your field becomes the target of an attack. Change the battle position of that Defense Monster to face-up Attack Position. Also, when that attacking monster is destroyed in the battle and sent to the Graveyard, inflict additional damage to your opponent equal to that monster's original ATK.

[Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon: Attack Power 4000]

"Fight back! [Azure-Eyed Chaos Extreme Dragon], the ultimate burst of chaos!"

As soon as Seto Kaiba finished speaking, Ichika shot several beams of light from his entire body toward the other side.

If this battle is won, the game will end in defeat, just as the card name suggests: brave but reckless.

But is gaming really all about recklessness and folly?

At this moment, Wang Yang spoke up to remind him, "AIBO, it's time to use that card."

"Ok, I know."

The president, now ecstatic with victory in sight, declared: "I've won this duel! Game over!"

But just as the attacks from both sides were about to land, the energy suddenly dissipated.

Upon seeing this, he was stunned: "What?!"

Then the game explained, "I'm sorry, Kaiba-kun. This battle is not possible. The Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon did zero damage to me."

As he spoke, he took a card from the cemetery and showed it to the president.

Seto Kaiba frowned and asked, puzzled, "What is that card? When was it sent to the cemetery?"

The game player read the effect description aloud in front of him: "This card is 'Bone Boar Throw,' which was just sent to the Graveyard by the effect of 'Mischievous Twin Demons.' Its effect is..."

During the Battle Step when a monster battles, you can banish this card from your Graveyard to activate this effect. Negate that monster's attack. This effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn.

Hearing this effect, the club president gritted his teeth in anger once again: "Another effect triggered from the graveyard! Another piece of trash hindering my victory!"

Yugi's lips curled up slightly: "This is all thanks to Kaiba-kun, who used your trap to ensure my safety."

The president couldn't help but click his tongue: "Tsk! Don't be too happy yet!"

"Although my counterattack failed, your monster is still in attack stance. Such a weakling cannot withstand my attack."

"Victory will still be in my hands in the next round, hahahahaha..."

At this moment, the game smiled confidently: "Solvador Kana!"

Chapter 75 The End of Duel City

"The listed Vadokana!"

"Nani!?"

Seto Kaiba felt somewhat uneasy about his confidence in the game.

At this moment, the game continued to say to him, "Kaiba-kun, I have already tested and revealed your last face-down card. You have no way to stop my methods now."

The president frowned: "Testing the waters..."

"And you probably won't have another round."

However, the game then changed its tune, saying, "Well, perhaps there's a next round..."

Upon hearing the term "game," Seto Kaiba frowned: "So, there's a next round?"

"Could it be that......"

The president suddenly widened his eyes, as if he had thought of something.

Seeing the president's reaction, Yugi continued, "It seems you've already guessed it, which makes things easier."

As he spoke, he picked up a card from his hand and inserted it into the Duel Disk: "I activate the Spell Card [Easy Fusion] from my hand."

You must pay 1000 Life Points to activate this effect. Special Summon 1 Level 5 or lower Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck as a Fusion Summon. Monsters Special Summoned by this effect cannot attack.

【Muto Games: LP2000→1000】

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2→1]

Then a cup of instant noodles labeled "1000" was projected in front of the game.

Yugi pulls out a Fusion Monster card and places it on the Duel Disk: "Fusion Summon, [Thousand-Eyed Sacrifice]!"

At this moment, the lid of the cup was lifted, and a large amount of steam rose up. In the steam, an alien shadow appeared, and you could see that it had opened up a dense array of eyes.

As the steam dissipated, the incredibly grotesque demon with the Eye of Horus appeared.

[Thousand-Eyed Sacrificial God: Attack Power 0]

Yugi was astonished by the card Yugi pulled out: "It's Pegasus's card. I didn't expect to summon such a powerful monster so easily."

"Unfortunately, the [Thousand-Eyed Sacrifice God]'s ability is ineffective against the [Azure-Eyed Chaos Extreme Dragon], but it doesn't matter..."

Wang Yang has finally figured out the game's plans.

Yugi nodded, acknowledging his guess, and then slammed another card onto the duel disk: "I offer [Silent Magician LV4] and [Thousand-Eyed Sacrifice God] as tributes to summon [Chaos Dark Magician]!"

The two monsters in front of the game disappeared, and then, accompanied by a flash of light on the card, a magician dressed in a black leather suit was projected in front of the game.

[Chaos Dark Magician: Attack Power 2800]

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 1→0]

"And at this moment, the special ability of [Chaos Dark Magician] is activated! When this card is Normal or Special Summoned, you can add 1 Spell Card from your Graveyard to your hand."

After saying that, the game took a card from the graveyard.

"The card I chose is [Heavenly Treasure Card]".

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 1→0]

Upon hearing it was this card, Seto Kaiba's expression changed drastically: "Yugi, are you crazy? Once you activate this card, your deck will be almost empty..."

The game's current expression is quite optimistic: "There are very few cards left in the deck, which means that the probability of me drawing the cards I want to use to decide the outcome is very high."

"Large breasts!?"

Seto Kaiba's expression grew increasingly serious; he had realized the problem.

Without hesitation, Yugi inserted the recycled card into the Duel Disk: "I activate the Spell Card 'Heavenly Treasure Card' from my hand again. Both players draw cards from their decks until they have six cards left."

"Degeneration!!"

The game was quick and decisive, with the player drawing six cards in one go, while the club president reluctantly drew four.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 1→6]

Seto Kaiba's hand cards: 2 → 6

Then, the two glanced at the cards they had drawn, and a smile involuntarily crept onto Yugi's face: "I've got the card I wanted..."

Wang Yang looked at his hand and nodded: "The outcome is decided."

Then, Yugi asked the president, "Kaiba-kun, my deck only has four cards left, while yours has eight. Am I right?"

The club president, realizing the game's intentions, turned ashen-faced and couldn't help but click his tongue: "Tsk! So what if it's true?"

Enraged by his outburst, Yugi laughed and said, "That's right, I just said you don't have a next turn, so..."

As he spoke, Yugi inserted a card into the Duel Disk: "I activate my second Quick-Play Spell Card, 'Hand Destroyer,' and both players send two cards to the Graveyard. After that, each player draws two cards from their Deck."

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 6→5]

"Oh no! So it really was deck sabotage!?"

The president is no longer able to stop the game's methods.

After the two exchanged two more cards, the game continued to calculate the number of cards in the deck: "Now I have two cards left in my deck, and you have six cards left."

As the deck grew thinner and thinner, the president's expression became increasingly grim.

Then, the game involves picking up two cards from the hand and inserting them into the Duel Disk: "Before I activate the final card to decide the winner, I'll set both cards face down..."

Two face-up cards were visible in his backcourt.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 5→3]

"The card that ultimately determined the winner... could it be..."

At this point, the president had already guessed what the game still had in hand.

"It's that... could it be..."

At this point, the game has already inserted a card into the Duel Disk: "I activate the Spell Card [Hand Card Annihilation] from my hand. Both players discard all cards from their hands, and then each draws the number of cards they discarded from their deck."

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 3→2]

Since you only have two cards in your hand right now, you only need to replace two cards to completely empty your deck.

Meanwhile, the president had six cards in his hand, and his deck only had six cards left, so his deck was also cleared.

The president's defeat is now a foregone conclusion.

Although both players' decks were cleared at the same time, this does not mean it is a draw.

Destroying a deck doesn't mean the entire deck is destroyed to determine the winner; rather, it means the player has no cards left to draw when they need to draw cards, at which point they are declared the loser.

In other words, even though he has used up all his cards in this round, he doesn't need to draw any more cards and can safely get through this round. The only one who will lose is the president.

then......

"Alright, Kaiba-kun. That concludes my turn."

The game allows you to easily put your hands down.

Because the president had no cards to draw during the card draw phase, the duel board determined that he lost the duel.

Seto Kaiba: LP 500 → 0

"Duel City Finals, the winner is Yugi Muto!"

The dedicated referee, Isono, ignored the president's unpleasant expression and, with a forced smile, loudly announced the result of the match.

And so, the game won its final match, and Duel City came to a complete end with the president's defeat.

Chapter Seventy-Six: A Duel Between Two in the City

After the game ended, everyone gathered at the top of the tower to celebrate.

After losing the final, Seto Kaiba reluctantly handed over the God Card, which he hadn't even had a chance to warm up yet, to Yugi.

As for the subsequent memories of King Yu, the tomb guardians also conveyed key information to him.

Afterwards, Seto Kaiba said to Yugi, "Have you had enough of the taste of victory? Duel City has come to an end!"

"The title of Duel King and the boundless glory will temporarily reside with you in the game."

"Ah."

No need to even think about it, Haima is definitely feeling envious right now.

Of course, he won't be discouraged by this. Once his skills have improved, he'll definitely find another reason to play cards again.

Afterwards, as if venting his anger, the president announced the duel to destroy the Duel Tower, and turned to leave, completely ignoring the crowd who were loudly protesting.

......

Boom boom boom——! ! !

The people in the helicopter watched speechlessly as the president's extravagant behavior resulted in the reckless destruction of the entire island.

"Hahahahaha!!"

Meanwhile, to everyone's astonishment, the president and his brother piloted a white wedding-themed plane towards the United States.

With this, the Duel City arc has come to a complete end.

......

For some time after that, Haima developed a list of restrictions and limitations.

Most of the cards banned above target the Five Elders deck in the game, such as the bugged cards that never seem to appear, like [Last Will], [Cannon Soldier], [Mass Accelerator], and [Bitter Choice]. The three great cards that have a small cost but can draw a lot of cards are also banned.

Of course, card-drawing artifacts like [Pot of Greed] and [Angel's Charity], which are not so outrageous but have no cost, are also restricted. Additionally, [Three-Eyed Monster] and [Witch of the Dark Forest], which can search for the Five Elders, are also restricted.

In short, with the introduction of the ban/restriction list, many cards in the game have been banned, and the Five Elders deck has been significantly nerfed.

......

Later, at the game's suggestion, some duel rules were further improved. Fusion Monsters were no longer restricted from attacking during the turn they were summoned, and the concept of spell speed was introduced.

Then the descriptions of the card effects were standardized, eliminating most of the misleading information.
