Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

After seeing them turn their heads instinctively, Abidas III immediately understood what Yuki Judai wanted to express.

"Really...? So this is the normal state?" As if his worldview had been shocked, Abidas III slowly half-knelt on the ground and began to stare at the ground beneath his feet.

"Then what..."

Putting down his right hand that was scratching his head, Yujo Judai began to finish off the opponent with some uncertainty: "My Lord? Your strength shouldn't be weak, right? After all, you are the man known as the God of Duels... Before I went on the field, I was actually prepared to be beaten to a pulp!"

Abidas III: "..."

The words turned into a sharp blade, piercing through Abidas III's chest, leaving him speechless for a moment.

"Is Abydas III really the man known as the God of Duelists in ancient Egypt?" Looking at the changes in Abydas III, Marufuji Ryo, with a puzzled look on his face, couldn't help but express his doubts.

Compared with the previous seven star kings, isn't this guy's strength a bit too weak?

"Yes, I also think that Pharaoh's deck and strength are very ordinary... He is totally unworthy of the title of the God of Duel."

Folding his arms, Manjomu had an expression of "I can do it if I can" on his face: "Even a trash monster with 0 defense was put into the deck, no wonder it was suppressed by Judai!"

If I had known that the Seven Star King was so weak, I should have let Mr. Manjomu do the pretense just now...

Damn it! Judai, your luck is just too good!

"...No wonder, no wonder it turned out like this..." Making a reminiscent gesture, Abidas III, who was at a disadvantage, began to recall his previous experiences.

In the past, in the royal city of ancient Egypt, one could easily win a duel by simply summoning some ordinary monsters like "killer snakes".

No matter how powerful the duelist is in the outside world, he will be defeated regretfully in front of him.

Even if there were a few times when they were in crisis, the opponent would be defeated and selectively lose memory for various reasons...

At that time, he was immersed in victory and didn't understand what was going on, but now he finally realized that these people were deliberately giving in to him!

On the surface, he said flattering words like "Oh my~ I can't beat the Pharaoh~", "A strong duelist like Lord Abidas will never appear in the future!", "You are so strong! I'm going to die!"

However, behind their backs, they were complaining, "In order not to hurt the Pharaoh, the story has to admit defeat, but it can't be too obvious...", "Ahhh~~ Our king is such a wimp!", "This is such a hard thing to do" and so on...

"No wonder I always feel that it's not satisfying enough. I always feel that victory comes too easily. Those so-called duel masters are just guys with empty reputations... So, that's what's going on!"

Abidas III finally understood everything and sighed, "So it's because everyone is afraid of me... so no one has ever really dueled with me?"

"Your Majesty...you..."

He opened his mouth, but at this moment, Yuki Judai didn't know what to say.

He did not share the same feelings and could not think of anything to comfort Abidas III.

"You can't win, you can only lose... How can there be such a legendary duelist!"

With a sneer, Wanzhangmu snorted with disdain.

Even he, who had never changed in the past, was unwilling to use his power to oppress others!

"He has no real rivals... I always feel a little sorry for him."

Shaking her head slightly, Asuka expressed her opinion.

Although it was not his own wish, Abidas III, who was still young at the time, obviously lacked experience in all aspects. He was blinded by the performance of others and had the wrong idea that "I shouldn't be very strong."

This member of the royal family who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth is, in a sense, quite pathetic.

In his long life, perhaps there has never been a person with whom he could confide...

"My king! Let me see your full strength!"

Yuki Judai clenched his right fist and pounded his chest. He decided to convey his true meaning in his own way and smiled brightly: "My turn is over, it's your turn next!"

Regardless, the duel will continue.

Yuki Judai also wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to see Abidas III's ultimate trump card.

"Are you seriously dueling with me?"

Standing up from the ground, Abidas III spoke with obvious excitement.

Just like a child who got a toy for the first time, the Pharaoh, who had lived for a long time, began to feel waves in his heart that he had never felt before.

"Of course!"

Nodding, Yugi Judai gave an affirmative answer.

No matter what the time, he would never choose to admit defeat deliberately, nor would he show even a trace of cowardice because of Abidas III's identity as Pharaoh.

"Then I will also face you with my true face!"

You show me your sincerity, and then it will be my turn next.

Taking off the golden mask covering his face, Abidas III revealed a face that resembled Yami Yugi (Atum) to everyone.

Dark skin, Egyptian-style dark eye shadow, a high nose bridge, and an angular young face full of Middle Eastern features.

This Pharaoh who is terrible at playing cards, actually has a very good appearance which is completely contrary to his card skills and surpasses that of ordinary people!

"Fuck...this guy is actually a handsome guy!"

Youxing, who mistakenly thought that Abydas III had lived for thousands of years, saw that the face hidden under the mask was a withered face like a mummy, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"The bloodline of the royal family is indeed not to be underestimated. Both Atum and Abidas III are rare handsome men!" Nodding in agreement, Marufuji Ryo said these words expressionlessly, which did not quite fit his style.

"Damn! I thought that he, who had lived for more than three thousand years, had already turned into a mummy..." Wiping his forehead with shame, Wanzhangmu's face showed a shocked expression similar to Youxing's.

My goodness, does it mean that the prerequisite for becoming a Pharaoh is to first have a good-looking appearance?

"Okay, now, let me use all my strength!"

Abidas III, whose competitive spirit was aroused by Yuki Judai, smiled and then waved his hand to activate the effect of [First Coffin]: "At this moment when your turn ends, I activate the effect of the Continuous Trap Card [First Coffin] and activate the Continuous Spell Card [Third Coffin], which is also the final coffin, from the deck!"

As Abidas III finished speaking, another coffin appeared next to the two coffins that were originally indicated to be in front of him.

Then, Abidas III, who was back in his turn, suddenly pulled a card from his deck: "My turn, draw a card!"

"The three coffins have been gathered! What will happen?" Looking at the three cards gathered on the field of Abidas III, Yuki Judai couldn't help but show excitement on his face.

“Hehehe! Just wait and see!” With the corner of his mouth raised, Abidas III stretched out his arm again and shouted loudly: “Now that I have gathered [First Coffin], [Second Coffin], and [Third Coffin] on my field, I can activate the final effect of [First Coffin]! Send these three coffins to the graveyard, and then special summon a [Pharaoh's Spirit] from my hand and deck~~!”

"Pharaoh...Pharaoh's spirit?"

After repeating the name of the monster mentioned by Abidas III, everyone couldn't help but show an expression of anticipation on their faces.

A monster that requires such a complicated process to appear on the field must have extraordinary and powerful effects!

Even if he is not as victorious as the [Creator God of Light], he should not be that weak...

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a huge loss?

"Come... the incarnation of the kings of the past - [Spirit of the Pharaoh]!"

The three coffins standing in front of Abidas III were engulfed by a chaotic light of black and white, and then, under the gaze of everyone, they turned into a huge golden coffin.

On the surface of the coffin was printed the majestic and heroic image of the Pharaoh when he was alive.

As Abidas III finished speaking, the coffin was opened from the inside.

Then, the Egyptian pharaoh, whose body was wrapped in a complicated robe and whose hands were respectively holding a round-headed staff representing power and a machete representing strength, walked out of the coffin and stood in front of Yuki Judai, forming a distant confrontation with the [Evil Hero Wild Wind Demon] floating in the air.

-

[Spirit of the Pharaoh]

(Undead/Light/6 Stars/ATK 2500/DEF 2000/)

effect:

This card cannot be Normal Summoned.

This card can only be Special Summoned by the effect of "First Casket".

When this card is Special Summoned successfully, you can Special Summon up to 4 Level 2 or lower Undead Normal Monsters from your Graveyard.

396 Definitely next time! (6K)

"…2500 attack power? That's it?"

Looking at the monster standing in front of Abidas III, which was summoned with great difficulty under extremely complicated conditions, Youxing on the side couldn't help but reveal a look of disappointment on his face.

If I were given this opportunity, I would be able to bring out the entire [Creation God of Light] and win directly by the rules...

Is this your full strength?

What's wrong with you, little brother?

"What... The summoning conditions are so strict and complicated, but the result is just such an ordinary monster?" Similar to Yusei's idea, Yuki Judai, who was also full of expectations for the monster in the coffin, immediately revealed an irrepressible disappointment on his face after seeing the contents of the coffin.

"Are you...playing tricks on the Pharaoh's soul?"

Upon hearing others' negative comments about his ace monster, Abidas III's teeth clenched suddenly, and his handsome face was covered with an indelible haze.

[Spirit of the Pharaoh], as the name suggests, houses the souls of previous pharaohs.

This is similar to the final BOSS in "Dark Souls 3" - the monster "Incarnation of the Lords of Cinder". It is not only an aggregation of multiple pharaohs in the past, but also an existence that gathers all their power!

However, these people in front of him looked disappointed towards this supreme being!

How could this be true? How could it be true?

"…When [Pharaoh's Soul] is Special Summoned successfully, I can Special Summon up to 4 Normal Monsters of Level 2 or lower from the Graveyard!"

Gnashing his teeth in anger, Abidas III waved his arms and Special Summoned the three Normal Monsters that had been sent to the Graveyard: "Resurrect! [Guardian of the Royal Family] (ATK 900), [Servant of the Pharaoh] (ATK 900), [Servant of the Pharaoh] (ATK 900)!"

When activating the magic card [Wave to the Dead] previously, Abidas III sent one of his cards to the graveyard as a cost.

So in addition to the two monsters destroyed in battle, he can also pull out one more monster from the graveyard.

Including the 2500 attack power of [Pharaoh's Soul], there are now four monsters gathered on his field! Enough to summon Sky Striker's eldest sister - [Access Code Talker]!

Of course... the prerequisite is that he, an antique from three thousand years ago, must have this card...

"If there are four monsters... you can use two monsters with different names to Link Summon [Nightmare·Phoenix], blow up a Magic or Trap Card on the opponent's field, and then Link Summon [Nightmare·Unicorn] with the third monster, and bounce a card on the field... Finally, Unicorn links with Pharaoh's Spirit to play [Access Code Talker] with Link 4, and activate its effect to increase its ATK by the Link value of [Nightmare·Unicorn]*1000..."

Yusei, who viewed the situation from an OCG perspective, made a final conclusion: "...the Access Code Talker with an attack power of 5300 only needs one strike to end the battle!"

"…I release [Servant of the Pharaoh] as a sacrifice and Advanced Summon from my hand—[Sphinx Herlak] (Rock Tribe/Earth/6*/ATK 2400/DEF 1200)!"

Contrary to the idea of ​​the time traveler Youxing, Abidas III chose the most primitive superior summoning, using one of his servants as a sacrifice and summoning a guardian monster with an eagle head and a lion body.

Naturally, he didn't have any cards like Link Monsters that were ahead of their time.

"A 2400-star monster with 6 attack power... This monster is quite normal."

Looking at the guardian angel that appeared before him, Yuki Judai narrowed his eyes.

Compared to the [Soul of the Pharaoh] which has complicated conditions but is useless, this [Sphinx Herlak] is actually a relatively normal monster.

Although it is only 6 stars, its attack power has exceeded that of the 8-star [Evil-Hearted Hero Wild Wind Demon] (attack power 1900).

"This is the final one! I activate the Spell Card [Thousand Energy] from my hand, increasing the Attack and Defense of all face-up Level 2 and lower Normal Monsters on my field by 1000 points!"

As Abidas III activated the magic card in his hand, purple energy fluctuations began to appear on the surface of the bodies of the two mortal bone monsters on his field.

The attack power of the two monsters wrapped in this light increased by a full 1000 points!

[Guardian of the Royal Family] (Attack Power 900 → 1900)

[Pharaoh's Servant] (Attack Power 900→1900)

"What? Attack power of 1900? Wouldn't that make it on par with the Wild Wind Demon?" Seeing the two mortal bone monsters that he had previously destroyed reborn, Yuki Judai couldn't help but exclaimed.

On his field, besides the [Evil Hero Wild Wind Demon] in attack mode, there is only one Clayman with a defense of 2000.

On the field of Abydas III, there are [Soul of the Pharaoh] with an attack power of 2500, [Sphinx Herlak] with an attack power of 2400, [Guardian of the Royal Family] with an attack power of 1900, and [Servant of the Pharaoh] with an attack power of 1900...

Abidas III, who has gathered these four monsters, seems to be able to win the duel in this round!

"This card [Thousand Energy] also has a negative effect..." Abidas III sighed slightly and said slowly: "As the price of increasing the monster's attack power, they will all be destroyed and sent to the graveyard at the end of my turn..."

"Ah? It will be destroyed? Then you still...?"

"Humph! As long as there is no next round, then this price is equivalent to non-existence, right?"

Facing Yujo Judai's question, Abidas III said confidently: "Yujo Judai! The victory of this duel will be won by me!"
