Chapter 118

Zero: "Since I have three Knights on my field, I can add [The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere] from my deck to my hand."

Silk Yugi picked up a card with an unclear meaning.

"What!? It's one of the Three Phantom Gods, [The Winged Dragon of Ra]!?"

Pegasus was immediately horrified.

But wait, didn't Yugi boy just say spherical shape?

Qiu thought for a moment and felt that he must have heard correctly.

King, standing to the side, covered his face, unable to bear watching any longer.

Wu King: AIBO, you'll have no friends if you play cards like that.

"Here comes Pegasus! With the effect of [Quick Summon], I offer up three monsters on your field as tributes, and I bestow this powerful card upon you!"

Before Pegasus could react, his three monsters vanished instantly.

Then, a golden sphere radiating the Sun God descended from the sky and appeared above his head.

u[The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Shape: Attack Power 0]

N

"Why? What happened?"

Seeing this bizarre scene before him, Pegasus was completely dumbfounded.

"[The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere] can be summoned by Tributing three monsters you control to your field, or by Tributing three monsters your opponent controls to their field."

Yugi: How was it? Did you have fun? Were you surprised?

"No~, such a thing actually happened!?"

Upon hearing the explanation of the Yugi, Pegasus's smile gradually faded, and he felt a deep pain in his heart.

However, he suppressed his disgust and asked the Yugi, "I don't remember making any cards like this. Why does Yugi boy have this card?"

"Because I am a true duelist!"

"I see..."

Pegasus understood immediately upon hearing this.

A true duelist can print cards however he wants.

However, King, standing to the side, complained, "That answer was too casual..."

Even if the origins of the Winged God Sphere were inconvenient to disclose, he felt there was no need to gloss over it so easily.

That's right, King knew about this card from the very beginning.

In reality, the Winged God Ball was printed by Yugi after absorbing the power of the Orichalcos God. It is a card without any god inhabiting it, and all the cards printed at the same time were Orichalcos-ified God Cards.

King learned about his identity and the source of his power from him after the Doma incident.

Therefore, it's indeed inconvenient to talk about these cards that involve the Yugi's power itself.

However, King felt that since the Doma incident, AIBO's personality had become a bit smug, as if he was deliberately joking.

Of course, he didn't mind this change, after all, for him...

King: AIBO is AIBO! (Proud face)

We've gone off on a tangent.

Returning to the duel, Yugi continued, "[The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Shape] cannot attack, nor can it be the target of the opponent's attacks or effects."

"But its control will revert to its original owner at the end of the next round, which is my field."

In other words, Pegasus is a disgusting card that takes up too much space.

So we need to find a way to get rid of it.

"My turn!"

[Pegasus J. Crawford's hand: 0→1]

Upon seeing the card in her hand, Pegasus immediately became excited, "Nice~! I drew another good card..."

As he spoke, he inserted the card into the Duel Disk, "I activate the Spell Card [Super Rejuvenation] from my hand, Tribute the God Cards [The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere], and then draw two cards from my Deck."

The Winged God Egg then disappeared from the sky.

[Pegasus J. Crawford's hand cards: 1→2]

Was this printed fresh?

Is it really possible that I just happened to draw this card?

But Pegasus couldn't care less about that anymore.

He glanced at his hand and then put one of the cards into the graveyard.

"Tribute any Toon monsters in your hand or on the field whose combined Level is 8 or higher to Special Summon [Toon Chaos Soldier] from your hand."

"I offer up the Level 8 [Toon Blue-Eyes White Dragon] from my hand as a tribute."

"Appear, [Toon Chaos Soldier]!"

After a simple, cartoonish ceremony, a chibi version of the Chaos Warrior appeared before Pegasus.

[Toon Chaos Soldier: Attack Power 3000]

[Pegasus J. Crawford's hand: 2 → 0]

Here we go again!

King has complained about this situation countless times.

Pegasus then waved his hand and shouted, "Yugi boy, my chance has finally come!"

"I activate the special ability of [Toon Chaos Soldier]!"

Once per turn, if you control [Toon World], you can target 1 card on the field; banish that card. This card cannot attack the turn this effect is activated.

This effect left King even more speechless.

Not only did it reference the Chaos Warrior's ritual, but even the activation effect was based on the Great Opening.

Chapter 165 Straight Flush

"Using the effect of [Toon Chaos Soldier], the Continuous Trap [Soul Barrier] will be excluded!"

At Pegasus's command, the Toon Chaos Soldier immediately rushed forward and shattered the Trap Card with a single strike.

Bang--!

"Nice~! Now the card that's been blocking Toon Monster's direct attacks is gone~."

"My turn is over."

Starting from his next turn, Pegasus can use the universal effects of Toon Monsters.

The situation has reversed again.

"Alright, Yugi boy, it's your turn."

Pegasus reverted to his previous frivolous demeanor.

Seeing Yugi, Yugi shook his head slightly and then drew a card from his deck.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 1→2]

He glanced at his hand and let out a soft sigh.

"It seems I've won this duel..."

"Why~?"

Under Pegasus's questioning gaze, Yugi inserted the card into the Duel Disk.

"Quick-Play Spell [Straight Flush] activated!"

Send 1 [Queen's Knight], 1 [Jack's Knight], and 1 [King's Knight] from your hand and 1 face-up monster on your field to the Graveyard. Then, Special Summon 1 monster from your hand, Deck, Extra Deck, or Graveyard whose card names contain all of the following: [Queen's Knight], [Jack's Knight], and [King's Knight].

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2→1]

"In exchange for the three knights on the field, I Special Summon [Lucky Straight Swordsman] from my Deck."

Bang bang bang--!

The three knights in front of the Yugi exploded one after another, and then a knight wearing green armor appeared.

[Lucky Straight Swordsman: Attack Power 2400]

After the swordsman appeared, the Yugi continued, "And I'm going to activate the special effect of [Lucky Straight Swordsman]!"

This effect can only be activated if you have all of the following monsters in your Graveyard: [Queen's Knight], [Jack's Knight], and [King's Knight]. Send 1 Level 1 to 5 monster from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard, and destroy all cards on your opponent's field.

"Hmph, so your goal is [Toon Kingdom]?"

Pegasus's expression remained calm, as if he didn't care at all.

Soon, the Yugi selected five cards from the deck.

"First up is the Level 1 [Clean Kuriboh]."

"Next up is the Tier 2 [Skull Dice]."

"Level Three, [Gravekeeper's Guard]!"

"Level 4, [The Strange Female Warrior]!" (A card with an unclear meaning was mixed in)

"Finally, there's Level Five... [Ace Knight]!"

The Yugi is like reciting a menu, where five cards of a straight flush are sequentially placed into the graveyard.

Then, the Lucky Straight Swordsman had absorbed the power of the five monsters raised his longsword, and magic was attached to it.

"Go! [Lucky Straight Swordsman], Ultimate Quintuple Smash!"

The moment his voice fell, the swordsman swung his longsword downwards with all his might, and two sword energies rushed towards each other along the ground.

Boom--!!

However, at that moment, Pegasus seemed to ignore the attack, saying, "Useless, Yugi boy, you're just wasting your time."

The Toon Chaos Soldier swiftly burrowed into the castle on the book, and the castle immediately shifted to the side, deviating from the sword's attack path.

After that, the Toon Chaos Soldier emerged from inside the castle.

Seeing this, King asked with some confusion, "[Toon Chaos Soldier] is one thing, but why wasn't [Toon Kingdom] affected by the effect?"

Before the Yugi could explain, Pegasus spoke up first, "With the effect of [Toon Kingdom], this destruction can be negated by banishing one card from the top of the deck."

"Furthermore, based on the effect of [Cartoon Bookmark], if [Toon World] on your field is destroyed by an effect, you can banish this card from your Graveyard instead of allowing that destruction to occur."

"So Yugi boy, your plan has failed."

However, the next second, the Yugi chuckled, "Heh, is that really what you think, Pegasus?"

"What!?"

Upon hearing the mention of Yugi, Pegasus immediately became uneasy.

"You think I activated the [Lucky Straight Swordsman] effect to destroy [Toon Kingdom], right?"

Isn't that so?

"Of course not, that's secondary. My real purpose is to send the monster cards I need from the deck to the graveyard. Think back and see what cards are in my graveyard?"

"What card? Aren't they all defensive cards...?"

Pegasus briefly recalled the five cards that had just been Yugi.

But he quickly realized something was wrong. "Wait! Why would You send the [Strange Female Warrior] to the graveyard? Could it be...?"

Normally, the best monster to throw at a Level 4 monster is the [Electromagnetic Turtle], which can forcefully end the battle phase, as a last resort to save your life.

However, the fact that [the Strange Female Warrior] is here indicates that the Yugi intends to bring her out.
